Heroes' Prison

Chapter 607 - 582: Search the Entire Palace

Out of these three hands, only one belonged to Huang Yi!

He had been hiding here using Absolute Invisibility for quite some time, just waiting for this moment!

But what he hadn’t expected was that there were two other people also hidden here, who reached out for the treasure at the same instant the Barrier shattered!

At this moment, Huang Yi’s exceptional strength of level 130 was fully unleashed, his hand transforming into a flash of lightning and instantly touching the box!

He then reflexively tried to pull the box into his storage ring.

System Prompt: Due to the overwhelming aura contained within this item, it will take ten minutes to be fully stored in the storage ring. The countdown begins now.

Just then, Huang Yi received a system prompt! This treasure, just like the first Heart of the Sand Thief King he had obtained before, required some time to be stored in the storage ring!

But at the moment, he didn’t have that much time to wait! He could only swiftly grab the box and clamp it to his chest!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and the onlookers only saw a blur before the box disappeared!

The originally confident Guo Jia, with his chubby face, was momentarily stunned!

The Soul Destroyer, who had been kept at bay by Guo Jia, gaped in shock!

And the other two hands that had been reaching for the treasure also missed their grab, clutching at thin air and inadvertently revealing their bodies from their invisibility.

It was then that Huang Yi finally saw who the other two hands belonged to!

One of the hands was A Lifetime in a Day’s, who had disappeared just a short while ago! It seemed that after he had given up attacking Soul Destroyer, he had quickly become invisible and made his way here!

The other hand belonged to a Swordsman in black. This Swordsman had an upright figure, carried a long sword, and his stylish long hair was casually tied with a band, giving him an air of proud solitude. It was none other than Listening to the Rain and Comprehending the Sword Sound, the leader of the largest power in the Underground Palace, Sword Tide Guild.

Seeing Listening to the Rain and Comprehending the Sword Sound here, Huang Yi couldn’t help but be slightly taken aback. It was not surprising that A Lifetime in a Day had come to snatch the treasure, as he was an assassin with endless Invisibility Skills, and Huang Yi had seen him entering, so he had anticipated his possible interference.

But Huang Yi had not anticipated Listening to the Rain and Comprehending the Sword Sound at all! The man was a Warrior-Type Class and yet possessed such outstanding hiding abilities! Just now, with attacks all around the Barrier, he hadn’t been revealed from his stealth, indicating either he possessed a high-level Invisibility Skill akin to Huang Yi’s Shadow Dance, which wouldn’t reveal him even if he took damage, or he had an ability similar to Huang Yi’s "Nothingness".

What was more important, Huang Yi had no idea when the other had come in; he had appeared out of thin air!

Listening to the Rain and Comprehending the Sword Sound truly lived up to his reputation as the number one expert in Warcraft City, his strength surpassing other leaders like A Lifetime in a Day, Guo Jia, and Soul Destroyer.

"Damn it! Kill him!" At this point, Guo Jia finally reacted swiftly, his chubby face distorting as he cursed loudly. He then raised his Magic Wand to attack Huang Yi!

What followed was a barrage of attacks from all members of the Guild of Famous Generals, swinging their weapons and launching a torrent of Skill Radiance at Huang Yi, overwhelming him in a flash!

However, Listening to the Rain and Comprehending the Sword Sound reacted even faster, almost the moment Huang Yi grabbed the box, he swiftly reached behind, drew his long sword, and unleashed a massive attack wave at Huang Yi!

"Pursuit!" Huang Yi chose not to retaliate but to escape instead, tightly holding the box and charging towards the exit of the Stone Chamber!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" Huang Yi charged five times in rapid succession, bursting out of the Stone Chamber through the multitude of Skill Radiance, passing through the crowd, and sprinting down the corridor towards the exit.

Out of the hundreds of attacks just now, only the massive attack from Listening to the Rain and Comprehending the Sword Sound had reached him, but it did no significant damage, merely revealing his name.

"Damn it! The guy’s name is Big Baddie! Everyone, chase him! There are more of our people in the corridor behind; he won’t be able to escape!" Guo Jia cursed in fury and then turned to chase after Huang Yi down the corridor, with the rest from the Stone Chamber following suit, all intent on catching Huang Yi.

Soul Destroyer didn’t hesitate and charged out as well. Currently alone, all his men were in the corridor, effectively blocking Huang Yi’s path, giving him a chance to compete for the treasure.

"Let’s chase too!" A Lifetime in a Day gestured grandly, leading the rest of his brothers as they chased after Huang Yi down the corridor.

Very soon, Listening to the Rain and Comprehending the Sword Sound was the only person left in the Stone Chamber, frowning at the direction of the passage, he muttered, "Big Baddie? What’s the story with this person?"

Within the realms of Warcraft City, this was the first time he had been outsmarted, with the duck cooked to perfection slipping right out of his grasp! But the frustrating part was that he knew absolutely nothing about this person, who seemed to be an expert that suddenly popped out of nowhere!

However, his composure was much stronger than Guo Jia’s, and he didn’t let this setback get the best of him. He immediately pushed aside these doubts and charged towards the passage, sending a message to the thousands of Sword Tide Guild members scattered inside. He ordered them to intercept someone called "Big Baddie."

"Everyone, pay attention, the ultimate treasure has been taken by someone named Big Baddie! Form a human wall here and don’t let anyone out!" At that moment, in one of the passageways, a squad leader from the Sword Tide Guild shouted orders to his few subordinates.

"Look out for a person holding a box in their hands, attack on sight, kill without mercy!" In another passageway, a squad leader from a sub-branch of the Guild of Famous Generals gave a similar order to his few underlings.

"Everyone still at the entrance of the Underground Palace, hurry up and block the exit, don’t let anyone out!" At the outer entrance of the Underground Palace, a team leader from the Fierce Tiger Gang immediately commanded his men to firmly block the exit.

Now, all forces in the entire Underground Palace were laying siege to Huang Yi. Previously, many players had been streaming into the deeper parts of the passages, but seeing everyone rushing out in haste, they were suddenly frozen in place, unsure of what to do!

"The biggest treasure has been stolen! Quick, turn back and pursue!" Some of the informants immediately spread the news of Huang Yi taking the treasure—adding fuel to the chaos!

Upon hearing this news, countless players instantly turned around and headed towards the exit of the passage!

Gradually, tens of thousands of players scattered throughout the various passageways of the Underground Palace became aware of the incident, all tracking a player named Huang Yi!

"Ghost Speech, did you hear that? Big Baddie actually got the ultimate treasure, that’s awesome!" In one of the passages, Ghost Shadow excitedly messaged Ghost Speech, his face hidden in darkness, showing an elated expression.

"I’ve also heard about it! I didn’t expect him to be so capable, but now the whole Underground Palace is searching for him, I’m afraid he won’t be able to escape!" Ghost Speech replied quickly, revealing a hint of anxiety amidst the excitement.

"Then let’s give Big Baddie a hand! We will spread rumors to the other players, saying that the treasure was snatched by someone from the Guild of Famous Generals, diverting people’s attention!" Ghost Shadow’s eyes swiveled, proposing the deceitful plan with cunning.

...

At this moment, Huang Yi was using Absolute Invisibility, leisurely rushing through the passageways. The duration of his Absolute Invisibility matched its cooldown perfectly, and as long as he didn’t attack others or get hit, he could remain invisible indefinitely.

This blockade was like a paper tiger to him—if he wanted to leave now, he could do so immediately by using the Godslayer’s Mark to teleport to Dragon City. However, he didn’t wish to waste time on making the journey again, so he simply used Absolute Invisibility to leave the Underground Palace normally. Once outside, he could continue on his way to the far-off destination of the Dragon Tomb.

"Did you hear? They say the treasure was snatched by someone from the Guild of Famous Generals! Now several powers are besieging their members!"

"The Guild of Famous Generals? Damn it, why did they get it? They’ve always been throwing their weight around; I’ve had enough of them! I would have preferred the Hero Guild to have the treasure!"

At that time, several players passed by Huang Yi, whispering among themselves, not realizing that Huang Yi was right beside them using Absolute Invisibility to hurry along.

Upon hearing the conversation of these individuals, Huang Yi was utterly astonished, as the one involved, he didn’t even know such a thing had happened; just who had spread this news, and why were they helping him?

Just then, Huang Yi received a message, which turned out to be from Ghost Speech. His heart stirred, and he immediately opened it to see—

"Dude, take the chance to get out quickly in the confusion!"

Seeing this message, and recalling the previous conversation from the other players, Huang Yi immediately understood who had started the rumor. It appeared that Ghost Shadow and Ghost Speech had intentionally released this smokescreen to help him escape!

A warmth filled Huang Yi’s heart, these two people he had met by chance, were going to great lengths for his sake! This kind of friendship among ordinary players was something he had not experienced in a very long time, a friendship pure of any fame or profit, simply honest assistance between friends.

The higher a person stood, the harder it was to meet someone with sincere intentions. In this world, countless people wanted to be his friend, but most had their own agendas, with genuine intentions being rare.

"Thanks! I’ll treat you to a drink another day!" Huang Yi sent a message of gratitude, then continued to rush forward.

Gradually, Huang Yi, making use of Absolute Invisibility, passed through corridor after corridor without a hitch, brushing past countless people. Among them were players who had activated Stealth Skills or were using Stealth Items, but none could see Huang Yi beneath the veil of Absolute Invisibility. (To be continued.
