Heroes' Prison

Chapter 395 - 385 Fabricating Nonsense

Their numbers and appearances were almost the same as the skeleton troop Huang Yi was following. However, the captain of that troop was a goat-headed Holy Domain Warrior, who seemed to have been a goat-headed person in life.

"Bullhead, has your team gained anything?" At that moment, the goat-headed skeleton captain asked Huang Yi’s team.

"Nothing. That witch and the man with the sword are too cunning. Their own strength is not strong, but they are very tricky. They stole our Black Cloud Stone and then immediately fled, making it very difficult to trace them." The bull-headed skeleton shook its head, emitting a creaking sound of joint friction, and the green ghostly fire in its eyes flickered.

"Then you continue patrolling. We’re going back to Black Demon City to report," said the goat-headed skeleton, leading his troop in a different direction.

"Black Demon City!" Hearing these three words, Huang Yi immediately thought of Black Demon, guessing that Black Demon must be in that city./p>

Immediately, Huang Yi changed direction and began to follow that troop.

But just at this moment, his Absolute Invisibility’s time ended, and his body brightly appeared, exposing him to the air, right next to dozens of Holy Domain warriors.

Almost instantaneously, Huang Yi activated "Absolute Invisibility" again, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to the state of Absolute Invisibility.

"Hm?" At this moment, the goat-headed skeleton turned its head to look in Huang Yi’s direction, emitting a sound of confusion.

With its astonished cry, all the skeletons suddenly turned their heads, looking in Huang Yi’s direction. The eyes of dozens of Holy Domain warriors swept over Huang Yi; each gaze was like a knife, ready to stab him full of holes.

Huang Yi’s sweat poured down, being seen by so many Holy Domain enemies; the slightest carelessness could expose him.

"Goathead, what’s wrong?" At that time, the bull-headed skeleton looked in the direction of Huang Yi, confusedly asking the goat-head, as it did not see the moment Huang Yi appeared.

"Just now I thought I saw a shadow there, but it disappeared after a moment. Could it be my eyes are playing tricks on me?" Goathead said, as the two clusters of ghostly fire in its eye sockets oscillated left and right, as though searching around.

"If your eyes aren’t playing tricks, then he must have turned invisible. Let me use my Bull Demon Eye to take a look. I can absolutely see through any Invisibility," said Bullhead, as the ghostly fire in its eyes suddenly turned a sinister red. Those red lights were like two small suns, exceedingly dazzling to the point of being unbearable to look at directly!

Huang Yi’s heart sank, judging from Bullhead’s remark, this "Bull Demon Eye" was something extraordinary, surely an Absolute Revelation Skill, far more powerful than ordinary Revealing Skills, and since the other was a Holy Domain Warrior, this skill could completely see him!

The next moment, Bullhead sharply turned its head, looking in the direction where Huang Yi was hiding!

In an instant, two beams of red light, like two searchlights, pierced the darkness, washing over the area where Huang Yi was with penetrating brightness. No one in the air could hide, and even if the Invisibility was exquisitely crafted, it could not block the illumination of these two red rays.

"Hmm?" Bullhead hesitated for a moment, murmuring, "Goathead, it seems you really did see things. My Bull Demon Eye didn’t spot anyone here."

At that moment, dozens of Holy Domain warriors all saw Bullhead’s Bull Demon Eye, and indeed there was nothing in the red beams, no shadow of any person revealed.

"With my strength, I shouldn’t be seeing things!" Goathead slightly furrowed its brow, extended a skeletal hand, and swept toward the area where Huang Yi was hiding!

"Boom!" Suddenly, the area around where Huang Yi was hiding erupted with sharp spikes, shooting out from the ground into the air. If someone was hidden there, they would have certainly been impaled and no longer able to remain invisible.

But after such an attack, the place was empty; seemingly, there truly was no one hidden there.

"It seems I really did see things! Bullhead, let’s head back to Black Demon City," said Goathead, shaking its head in resignation and leading the skeletal troop away.

Bullhead also led the remaining troop to continue patrolling in a different direction, quickly disappearing into the distance, leaving the area seemingly empty, as if nothing had ever been there.

But just then, there was a disturbance in the air, and an invisible figure appeared.

If at this moment Bullhead’s Bull Demon Eye were to probe here again, it would certainly discover an invisible person—none other than Huang Yi.

Just now, upon realizing that Bullhead’s Bull Demon Eye could see through Absolute Invisibility, Huang Yi instantly transformed into a Treasure-Sniffing Cat form and immediately used the Void Skill, completely disappearing into thin air.

However special Absolute Invisibility was, it was still just Invisibility; it still left a physical body that could be seen by an Absolute Revelation Skill and could be attacked, but the Void was a complete disappearance from this world, invisible to any method, impervious to any attack.

Huang Yi used this move to narrowly avoid disaster. Without this ability, he really would have been discovered, and the consequences would have been unthinkable.

He immediately caught up with the team led by the goat-headed person and hung back at a distance, following them as they moved forward.

Along the way, they passed through plains, crossed mountain ranges, and forded rivers, trudging ahead in one direction through water and over mountains.

This Abyss was like a world unto itself, vast in scope, with mountains and rivers, plains and hills, all manner of terrain, but all were hidden in darkness, with no sunlight.

Gradually, the goat-headed person led the team to the base of the steepest peak.

Huang Yi looked up and saw that within the steep mountain peak, there stood a grand and ferocious city.

The whole city was built on the cliffside, with all sorts of strange buildings constructed entirely from bones. From a distance, it looked as if the bones of some ancient behemoth had been installed on the precipice to form a city.

In the city, the most conspicuous sight was a black tower that pierced the sky, the tallest structure within.

The top of the tower was a sharp eye that scanned everything within the city, as if it were the eye of a demigod, capable of piercing through all the mysteries of this world.

The goat-headed person led the team into a dark, narrow cave at the foot of the mountain, and Huang Yi hurriedly followed. The cave was a passageway, with layer upon layer of stone steps winding upwards, so numerous that one couldn’t see the top.

Huang Yi climbed vigorously, and it took almost half an hour before he finished climbing the entire staircase and emerged from the cave mouth.

Suddenly, his view cleared, and he found himself within the city on the cliff. Before him were various bone structures, with a bustling crowd of people coming and going.

"Interesting, that an ant could actually track its way here!" At that moment, a red light suddenly burst from the sharp eye at the top of the tower in the city, staring directly at Huang Yi’s location!

Instantly, Huang Yi’s figure was revealed, exposed before the eyes of countless people in the city.

All around Huang Yi, the area was filled with onlookers who stopped in their tracks and stared at him.

These passersby were mostly races that lived in the Abyss, such as skeleton elves, dark orcs, and fallen dwarves, among others. Their expressions were cold, their appearances grotesque, their postures menacing, resembling demon beasts. Now they all stared at him ominously, as if looking at a small lamb.

Huang Yi felt the piercing gaze of countless eyes on him, many belonging to Holy Domain warriors. Any one of them could have killed him a thousand times over. Even with the White Dragon King there to protect him, it was utterly useless.

This was the Abyss, the most dangerous place on the mainland and also where the most Holy Domain warriors resided.

However, Huang Yi had encountered numerous Holy Domain warriors before, including top Holy Domain experts like the Sand Thief King, who were even more powerful than those present. Yet, he didn’t lose his composure. He lifted his head and looked directly into the giant eye at the top of the tower, calmly saying, "Are you the Black Demon? I’ve been entrusted to find you by someone else."

There was no trace of fear on Huang Yi’s face as his voice, neither humble nor haughty, rang out clearly in the square, reaching the ears of countless passersby.

"Hmm?" The eye atop the tower suddenly made an interested sound, "Who tasked you? If you don’t provide an answer that satisfies me, you’ll die here in the cruelest way possible."

"The Sand Thief King sent me!" Huang Yi brought up the significant figure of the Sand Thief King. The strongest Holy Domain warrior he had encountered on his journey was the bullhead and goathead, two intermediate Holy Domain experts, whereas the Sand Thief King was a level 178 top Holy Domain expert. His notoriety should be enough to intimidate everyone here.

"Oh?" The giant eye blinked, showing a hint of surprise, "So it’s the Sand Thief King. It has been many years since I saw him. If he needs to find me, he usually comes in person. Why send such a tiny ant as you?"

"He’s encountered a great danger and has asked me to find you, so you could take me to seek aid from the Fallen Messenger," Huang Yi said, taking out the Token of Trust given to him by the Sand Thief King and waving it in front of him.

The onlookers turned their eyeballs, staring at the Token of Trust in Huang Yi’s hand, the giant eye took a look too, a glimmer of belief flashing in its gaze, "That token in your hands is indeed the Sand Thief King’s Token of Trust! Since that is the case, come up to this Magic Tower and discuss it in person with me."

"Alright!" Huang Yi nodded and strode through the surrounding crowd towards the tower, not even bothering to maintain his invisibility.

Along the way, all the onlookers turned their heads to watch him, Huang Yi’s aura from the outside world was so obvious, like a sun illuminating the pitch darkness of the Abyss.

These Holy Domain warriors had been living in the Abyss generation after generation, never able to leave, and in a sense, they were living inside a large prison. Now, seeing Huang Yi, a person from the outside world, their emotions stirred, and their eyes spun wildly, pondering various thoughts. (To be continued.
