Heroes' Prison

Chapter 347 - 339 Deadly Trap of the Heavenly Curtain

Actually, if it had been characters like Dragon Spike or Sharp Sword, perhaps they wouldn’t have the leisure to concern themselves with such trivial matters. They had more important things to do, such as hitting level 100. But Huang Yi happened to have two bodies, one for level grinding and the other free to handle these matters.

At this moment, there were only tens of thousands of players in Flame Town, all of them discussing how to kill Huang Yi and win the meticulous cultivation of the Half-Beast Holy Land. None of them knew that the very God of Slaughter they were talking about was swiftly on his way to them.

Under the moonlight, the desert was an endless expanse of silvery white. As the Velociraptor rushed past, it kicked up a sky full of dust. Huang Yi, riding on its back, became a fast-moving silhouette.

In the deep silence of the night, mounted on a Velociraptor, Huang Yi climbed to the top of a sand dune and looked down into the distance.

Beneath the sand dune was a small town with scattered lights, and the huge round moon hung above, serenely shining down.

This spark of light, inconspicuous in the vast desert, held the hope of a raging fire. Given more time to grow, they could potentially turn into a thick flame.

This was the heart of the Anti-Kill Alliance’s Guild Territory, spanning a hundred kilometers around. A bit farther away was a big city called Jilong, which they probably wanted to rely on for support.

Huang Yi opened the Third Eye on his forehead, carefully observing the small town. His perceptive gaze swept over each area like a scanner.

"Hmm? Five Guardians!" After only a short glance, Huang Yi noticed that within this small town of Flame Town, five level 100 Guardian Mechas were hidden.

These Guardian Mechas are available for purchase in the Guild Hall, with a price tag of five million gold coins each. Normally, new Guilds couldn’t afford such sophisticated equipment, yet this Guild, established only a day ago, had five such mechas. This confirmed the speculation in Little Riddler’s intelligence – the Anti-Kill Alliance truly came prepared, backed by a mysterious sponsor.

Huang Yi immediately charged into Flame Town below. The Guild Territory didn’t yet have basic infrastructure like walls, so outsiders could slip in at any time. As long as he remained undetected, the Guardian Mechas wouldn’t chase after him.

"Swoosh!" As he reached the outskirts of the town, Huang Yi transformed into Agile Cat Form and slipped in silently. He carefully tread in the shadows or leapt across rooftops, making his way toward the direction of the War Flag.

At this time, the players around the town were all discussing matters related to him, eager to fight, discussing various ways to kill him. Although they lacked the strength themselves, there were many ways to kill a person, such as using the instant-kill potion. With such a potion, even a level 1 newbie could kill Huang Yi. However, since it was an S-grade potion, they definitely couldn’t get their hands on it.

Listening to the various plots to kill him, Huang Yi felt a slight chill. It’s not the thievery he feared, but the fixation of thieves; being the target of so many could mean trouble lurking in the most unexpected places.

Soon, he reached the area where the Guild’s War Flag was located. It was an empty space, where currently, hundreds of builder players were busily constructing a fortress.

"Everyone, put in more effort, let’s finish building the fortress before dawn. Who knows when Instakill will come, we’ll make thorough preparations, and make it impossible for him to break our War Flag!" At this moment, a foreman shouted to the builders around him.

The fortress was only half-built. Judging by the speed of construction, it would probably be finished in another day. By then, the War Flag would be firmly protected by the fortress, making it difficult to breach in the short term.

Besides, two level 100 Guardian Mechas were patrolling back and forth in this area. They stood over ten meters tall, closely guarding the War Flag. Any attack on the War Flag would provoke their response. However, they were just mechanical, not as powerful as Holy Domain Warriors of the same level.

A cold smile formed in Huang Yi’s heart as he quickly found a secluded spot and summoned the Heroes’ Prison, stepping inside...

Minutes later, he teleported back out, then frantically fled into the distance.

Behind him, the entrance to the Heroes’ Prison gradually dissipated, revealing a massive Sand Wolf over ten meters in length.

This Sand Wolf had a red glow in its eyes, and green drool dripping from its fangs that made a sizzling, corrosive noise as it hit the ground, spreading an unbearable stench. Under the silvery white moonlight, it looked around the world, like a fierce beast from the Nine Nether which had crawled up from Hell, ready to ravage the land.

This was a level 155 Magical Beast incarnation. If all the Guard Puppets in the territory were to fight it, the incarnation would undoubtedly perish, but several Guardian Mechas would be wrecked in the process.

Finally, the entrance to the Heroes’ Prison disappeared completely, severing the connection between this incarnation and the Magical Beast within the prison, leaving behind only its pure animal instincts. With no one around, it wandered aimlessly, moving its enormous limbs and slowly making its way onto a bustling street.

"Look, what is that thing?!" Soon, players on the street spotted the enormous Sand Wolf, its red eyes glaring so brightly that they resembled warning lights in the darkness, flashing and causing hearts to tremble.

Some players on the street hadn’t noticed the Sand Wolf and continued to walk, laughing and talking, oblivious to the fact that some players around them were staring in one direction, gaping and stricken with horror.

At that moment, the Sand Wolf abruptly lowered its head and clamped its jaws around a Half-Beast Player.

"Ah!" That player let out a piercing scream, which shattered the night sky and spread to every corner of the town, reaching everyone’s ears, instantly shattering the town’s tranquility.

"Crunch!" At that time, the Sand Wolf raised its mouth and directly swallowed the player, chewing with its sharp teeth, making a bone-crushing sound that was chilling to the bone, while the player’s scream abruptly ceased.

Everyone was startled and turned their heads toward the Sand Wolf.

"Ah! There’s, there’s a monster coming! Everyone run for your lives!" All at once, like a boulder smashing into still water, sharp screams erupted in the calm night sky. Everyone in the street began to scatter, screaming in panic as they fled, the scene erupting into utter chaos.

Flame Town completely boiled over!

At that moment, Mad Traceless and his companions who were drinking in the tavern also heard the screams outside. One of the players turned pale and muttered, "He, he’s come! The God of Slaughter has come!"

Mad Traceless’s face also turned a shade of dread. The name God of Slaughter can instill terror in anyone, like a Demon King, rampaging wherever he went, with no one stopping him thus far.

His Guild had only been established for a day, and he thought Huang Yi wouldn’t bother with him, that he could develop peacefully. However, unexpectedly, just after one day, this God of Slaughter had come here!

"Quick, send the Guardian Mecha to eliminate him!" Mad Traceless said with a mix of shock and rage, "How dare he come here, he’s practically seeking death! I’ll make sure he doesn’t return alive! Good thing we bought five Guardian Mechas in one go! This time, I’ll make sure he can’t leave!"

"Right, turn on the Heavenly Curtain for the town!" At that moment, a plump player suddenly suggested, "Once we activate the Heavenly Curtain, he won’t be able to escape. We’ll trap him! With five Level 100 Mechas against him, we’ll certainly capture him!"

"Indeed, this Instakill is practically serving himself up to us for the kill!" With that said, Mad Traceless immediately used the Guild’s highest authority to activate the town’s Heavenly Curtain.

In that instant, everyone in Flame Town could see that the surroundings were suddenly illuminated by a golden Barrier, firmly enveloping the entire town, like a lid turned upside down over it.

This was the Heavenly Curtain, one of the fundamental defense systems of any city. Once activated, the city becomes sealed, making it hard for outsiders to escape unless they can break through this Heavenly Curtain. But the Heavenly Curtain of Flame Town ignored any attack below Level 100, impossible for most to break through.

However, activating the Heavenly Curtain required a large amount of Magic Stones to maintain, an astonishing consumption of resources. To trap Huang Yi, Mad Traceless spared no expense.

"Attention to all, that beast Instakill is right here in our town. Keep an eye on your surroundings and search him out for me, he’s definitely not leaving here alive!" Mad Traceless used the Guild mode to send out a warning to all the players in town. Then, he and his group immediately left the tavern, with a surging killing intent, they went outside to start searching for Huang Yi.

Mad Traceless and his group had just gone out when they suddenly spotted a giant Sand Wolf wreaking havoc in the distance of the town, unstoppable on its path. Wherever it went, buildings were destroyed as if they were sand castles, and players on the ground lay dead or wounded, turning Flame Town into a living Hell in an instant.

"Damn it! Instakill has lured another strong entity here!" Seeing this scene, Mad Traceless and his companions cursed aloud, knowing that Huang Yi’s trademark ability was to summon strong avatars. With the appearance of the giant Sand Wolf, their territory was in trouble.

"First, get the Guardian Mecha to vanquish this Giant Beast, and you guys quickly take people to search for Instakill!" Mad Traceless commanded as he immediately operated in Guild mode, controlling the Guardian Mechas within the territory.

Meanwhile, Huang Yi had already reached the War Flag area of the territory, an inevitable path for the Sand Wolf. Soon this place would be reduced to ruins, and that would be his moment to act.

By this time, the hundreds of builders here had already fled, but the two Guardian Mechas still stood guard in that place, the cold moonlight shining on their steel bodies, reflecting a brilliant luster.
