Heroes' Prison

Chapter 749 - 714

"He, he seems to be Ying Lin! Ying Lin’s legendary magic wand looks just like that; I remember it very clearly!" At this moment, Haitang blurted out as if she suddenly remembered something.

"Yes! He’s Ying Lin!" The rest of the girls also recognized Ying Lin one after another, showing slight excitement on their faces!

Ying Lin is the leader of the Singaporean players, holding a position in their hearts similar to Huang Yi’s among Chinese players. He can call the wind and summon the rain in Singapore, an absolute top celebrity. It wasn’t hard for these four girls to recognize him.

"Where are the other enemies?" Ying Lin, already walking over with the group of mages, turned his head to look around and asked in a serious tone.

Haitang eyed Ying Lin and said with a slight excitement, "They’ve already been wiped out by you guys! Why did you help us?"

"Only three enemies?" Ying Lin was immediately taken aback, disbelief showing in his eyes. He had just received a message from Huang Yi, thinking they were facing a large number of enemies, but it turned out there were only three.

Huang Yi stepped forward and personally said to Ying Lin, "Thanks for your help!"

Ying Lin glanced at Huang Yi impassively. He knew the identity of Huang Yi as Big Baddie, but chose not to point it out, saying, "Uh... we just happened to pass by and saw these people who didn’t seem like good folk, so we took care of them. No need for thanks."

"Are you Ying Lin? I’ve seen you on TV!" Haitang finally voiced her suspicion, staring fixedly at Ying Lin.

"Uh... we have other things to deal with, so we’ll be going now!" Seeing that he had been recognized, Ying Lin quickly made an excuse and swiftly left the area. He had hurried here concerned about Huang Yi’s safety, so much so that he’d skipped any disguise.

The hundred or so mages he brought were also looking at one another, bewildered. They had thought a major battle was about to unfold, only for it to end after taking down just three people, leaving them somewhat unable to react.

Soon, the group of more than a hundred mages had vanished from the street as if they had never appeared.

"This... is so magical, a group of helpers suddenly arrived and killed those three bad guys!" Shuimo Qingxiang wiped the sweat from her forehead and innocently marveled, still thinking that Ying Lin and the others truly came by coincidence.

At that moment, Haitang stepped forward, picking up the loot dropped by Zhang Tian, Holy Light, and Unbeatable Blade.

Her expression quickly turned to great excitement, exclaiming, "This is awesome! Three pieces of orange gear, yeah! Those three thugs had pretty good loot, casually dropping orange gear!"

The attention of the girls was swiftly drawn to the three pieces of orange gear, and they no longer pondered why Ying Lin had suddenly shown up.

After distributing the three pieces of equipment, they quickly headed to the teleportation circle to go level grinding, fearing those three might come to harass them again.

On the other side, Huang Yi’s incarnation was still aboard the Deep Sea Battleship, racing back to Hero’s Continent.

...

That day, Huang Yi logged on early.

His incarnation appeared on the Deep Sea Battleship, but it had already come to a stop, surrounded by tranquility.

Emerging from the cabin, he immediately saw a familiar bustling port. Eyes sweeping around, ships were densely packed, entering and exiting the port, with flags from various countries and guilds fluttering, too many to take in all at once.

This bustling world-level port was none other than Hero Harbor!

He had finally returned to Hero’s Continent!

He swiftly disembarked down the gangway and set foot on Hero’s Continent.

That moment, his heart felt as grounded as his feet. That familiar feeling of hometown washed over him, a sensation that one could never experience anywhere else, only when standing in one’s homeland.

And at that moment, he also received several messages; some messages were even sent over a month ago. Players could not send messages across continents and could only leave them as notes.

Huang Yi went through each message. Most of them were expressions of concern for him. The senders varied, including the ordinary player Biyue Qingkong he met in Thornbush City, master-level players such as Dugu Lengcang, Yun Sihai, Lin Yiqin, as well as some higher-ups from his guild, and so on.

Even Ghost Shadow and Ghost Speech whom he had met in Warcraft City sent messages, but to his Big Baddie identity. They didn’t know that Huang Yi was Big Baddie; they only knew that Big Baddie had reincarnated, and sent messages to inquire about his condition with concern.

The most recent message was sent a week ago by Qin Shiyu.

"Brother Yi, I’ve been waiting for your return, but I need to leave for a while tomorrow. Suddenly, I really miss you."

Huang Yi was caught off guard by the unexpected message. Qin Shiyu said she would be leaving temporarily, but where was she going, and what for?

But right now, Qin Shiyu wasn’t online, and even if he wanted to ask, he couldn’t.

Huang Yi decided to return to Dragon City to see for himself. He moved skillfully through Hero Harbor, quickly heading towards the Teleportation Circle, passing by countless people.

"Sigh, we lost another battle yesterday! Today, Korea declared an invasion of our Hero’s Continent! Now twelve countries have banded together to invade our continent! In addition, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Spain have also dispatched a large number of Deep Sea Battleships to the Hero’s Continent; it’s likely not for normal trade, but to invade us! They will arrive the day after tomorrow, and once these three countries really invade Hero’s Continent, our situation will become even more dire!"

"Damn it! Why isn’t Desire Arises from the Heart stepping down from that damned commander spot, monopolizing it is just too shameless! If only Big Brother God of Slaughter were here, just like last time, when he single-handedly took on an entire country, I guarantee those invaders wouldn’t be able to escape unscathed!"

"Even if Big Brother God of Slaughter were here, it wouldn’t help now! Although he’s strong, he’s just over forty days into his cycle of Reincarnation, currently at just over forty levels, so coming back would be useless! Let’s hope that super-first masters like Dao Feng, Sharp Sword, and Dragon Spike can hold them off for a while! If we can last until Big Brother God of Slaughter’s Reincarnation cycle is done, Hero’s Continent might be saved."

...

All along the way, Huang Yi heard some players from the Hero Guild chatting.

It seemed that the situation on Hero’s Continent had become extremely dire, with a 12-nation coalition invading! This scale of invasion was unprecedented, and even more countries were still sending troops, which would only make the situation worse.

However, no matter how many enemies there were, the territories of the Hero Guild were temporarily safe because no other guild in the world had guardians as powerful as those of the Hero Guild!

In each territory of the Hero Guild, Huang Yi had arranged for at least one criminal from Heroes’ Prison of over level 190 to serve as the Guardian. This level of defense was beyond the imagination of outsiders; even a super-first-class guild like Martial Arts Guild had spent a huge price and unimaginable Guild Contribution Points to summon a level 195 Guardian to protect one of their most important cities, Northern Sea City.

In the Hero Guild, however, Guardians over level 190 seemed as common as dirt, with every territory having one. In key territories like Dragon City and Hero Harbor, even Guardians of the Heavenly Domain Level had been appointed!

Currently, players stood no chance against Guardians of over 190 levels. They didn’t have the kind of strength Huang Yi had when he defeated a level 195 Guardian; facing such Guardians, they could only beat a retreat!

Magic Cannons were useless too, since the territory was far larger than the city, and a Magic Cannon couldn’t reach into the city if fired from outside the territory. The only option would be to enter the Thunder Pool and push the Magic Cannon into the territory to find the right Attack Range. But if they dared enter the territory, the Territory Guardian would strike them down with the force of thunder.

Other guilds suffered losses in the national war to some extent, but only the Hero Guild had escaped unscathed, untouchable. No invading nation dared to mess with the lands of the Hero Guild, as all bypassed them upon sight.

However, it was hard for the Hero Guild to keep to itself, as Huang Yi wasn’t just the Guild Leader of the Hero Guild, but also a Guard of Hero’s Continent. This continent was named by him; now it was under foreign invasion, and he must get involved as its Guardian.

Finally, Huang Yi arrived at the Teleportation Circle in Hero Harbor and immediately chose to teleport to Dragon City!

The once-familiar city of Dragon City appeared before him once more. He hadn’t returned here since he left for the Land of Dongying to rescue hostages. The place looked the same, but the flow of people coming and going was significantly larger— the city was becoming more prosperous.

Huang Yi headed straight for City Hall, hoping to find some clue related to Xiao Yu there.

Right now, as countless people passed by him, he felt like an orphan alone in this bustling world as long as Qin Shiyu wasn’t in this sea of people.

Actually, he didn’t even know what was so good about Qin Shiyu. If it came to innocence and cuteness, Ruoshui was a hundred times better than Qin Shiyu; if it was about kindness, Yue Yue and Haitang wouldn’t even have the heart to abandon a stray cat; if it was about appearance and charm, Zhitian Shi was not inferior to Qin Shiyu, and was even more famous, with more admirers.

Perhaps the only reason Huang Yi fell for Qin Shiyu was habit; he had grown accustomed to her.

Only in her presence could he be the real Huang Yi; to others, he was simply God of Slaughter.

...

Finally, Huang Yi arrived at City Hall and directly climbed to the top floor.

As he approached the door at the top, he was taken aback to find that the door, which was supposed to be locked, was actually ajar, indicating someone was inside!

But the only ones with the authority to freely enter were him, Qin Shiyu, and Xiao Chunzi. Anyone else needed their permission.

And right now, Qin Shiyu and Xiao Chunzi were both offline!

Who then, could be inside? (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Starting Point (qidian.com) to cast your Recommendation Ticket, Monthly Tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
