Chapter 1256: Infiltrated the enemy's base
The Sisk Plain was the largest plain in the undead territory. It was quite rich in various resources and on its territory there were three wetlands with two forests.
The mighty undead army was moving in a rapid march across this plain. This army was spread out in a horizontal line and crossed the plain in an even formation.
Along the way, she checked every hollow, suspicious cave, and so on, and she didn't leave a single place unobserved.
In the rear of the army, hundreds of wounded soldiers followed the main group. Their lightest injuries were broken arms or legs, and some followed the main force with their necks cut.
Thanks to their outstanding resilience, they were able to survive such an injury.
There was fear in the eyes of these wounded soldiers, some with more, some with less. Some of them woke up at night because of a nightmare, and the source of that nightmare was a man with a long sword in his hands.
An army of six hundred thousand soldiers systematically combed the plain, but they still couldn't find any traces of Su Xiao.
They couldn't find his tracks, not because Su Xiao was hiding too well, but because the plain was too big.
The undead had been right on Su Xiao's heels for more than five hours. During these five hours, Su Xiao had encountered scouts from time to time, but fortunately, each time, he managed to eliminate them faster than they could give the signal.
The Dark Moon Swamp was not far from the Sisk Plain, and right now, Su Xiao was actually not far from the swamp he needed, but since Bubtni and Amu hadn't found the specific location of the Law Shadow Ruins yet, Su Xiao could only use the vast area of the plain to detain the undead army for as long as possible.
In the dense forest, the wind picked up the fallen leaves, revealing a dark hole in the ground.
Su Xiao, covered in blood, sat in this hole and wrapped a bandage around the handle of the Dragon Flash. It should have helped a little with the grip. In protracted battles, his sword would get covered in blood very quickly, causing the hilt of the sword to become slippery.
Su Xiao himself was naked to the waist at this moment. His body was covered in dried blood and mud, but right now he couldn't take a bath, as all the water sources were now actively guarded by the undead.
— Hm.
Not far from Su Xiao, someone snorted. The hole that Su Xiao was in was actually the white-bellied bear's den, and at this moment, this 'fierce' white-bellied bear was sitting deep in its den and didn't dare to even breathe loudly.
Su Xiao originally wanted to cook it for dinner, but this bear was surprisingly understanding and quiet, so he gave up on the idea.
After taking out the dried meat, he began to chew it vigorously.
The bear, on the other hand, smelled the dried meat and licked its lips.
After eating a couple of pieces of meat that wasn't quite delicious, he gave the rest of the meat to the bear.
This lair became his seventeenth hideout. Half a kilometer away from this lair lay the corpses of the undead.
Su Xiao waited for Bubtni and Amu to find the Law Shadow Ruins. As soon as they found them, he would immediately rush to them, and for a more successful escape, he had already made a plan.
Just as he was about to take a nap, he heard faint footsteps outside the den. Su Xiao immediately opened his eyes and sat up. The white-bellied bear also heard the arrival of an outsider, but after Su Xiao looked at it, the bear sat on its butt like it was an elementary school student who made a mistake.
Su Xiao slowly walked out of the den. A few seconds later, a soft cry rang out from outside, and soon after, Su Xiao returned back, dragging the undead's body with him.
The next half hour passed quietly, so Su Xiao was able to rest for a while.
----
Darkmoon Swamp, right under the undead capital.
*Bul-bul...*
A string of bubbles burst out of the muddy water, and then the dog's mud-covered head poked out of the water, and its large watery eyes stood out quite strongly against the background of the swamp.
*Bul-bul-bul...*
Another string of bubbles appeared, and this time a bull's head poked out of the water. The bull was obviously a little confused, and the water and mud around it immediately began to rapidly ice up.
Bubtney and Amu hadn't been loitering around all this time. Two hours ago, they discovered the approximate location of the Law Shadow Ruins.
But that obviously wasn't enough. They had to find the exact location of the ruins, and to do that, Bubtney planned to steal a map from the undead capital, and the undead capital was above them right now.
Since it was the undead capital, it was even too well guarded, but for Bubtney, all this security was not a problem. The only thing he cared about was a map that would show the exact location of the ruins.
Bubtny, covered in mud, began to climb the vines, and when he reached a certain point, he shook off all the dirt and immediately merged with the environment.
Seeing this, Amu plunged into the muddy water, leaving only a pair of horns on the outside.
Bubtney had to succeed, he couldn't fail.
----
In the bear's den, Su Xiao opened his eyes after a short rest. His right arm still hurt. This was the fee for repeatedly using the ring break without any rest. To fully recover, he needed to rest for at least a few days.
Su Xiao was woken up by the footsteps that were getting closer and closer to the lair. From time to time, he could hear someone digging something. It was obviously an undead, and it was checking everything it could for the sake of finding Su Xiao. Now the undead hated him not only because of the Enlightened One's death, but also because of the deaths of many soldiers.
Interests gave rise to conflicts, conflicts gave rise to hatred, and hatred turned into deadly hostility.
They were already mortal enemies now.
As the footsteps began to approach the lair, Su Xiao received a message from Bubtney.
He sent a picture of a very detailed map.
Bubtney had successfully infiltrated the enemy base and was now intercepting all the latest news.
As for Amu, he was currently soaking in the swamp under the capital.
Su Xiao immediately sent a message to Bubtney, telling him to just wait for further instructions and keep a low profile.
Now all he had to do was enter the ruins. Once he hits them, he'll be safe.
The footsteps gradually began to get closer to the lair.
Su Xiao squatted down and picked up his long sword.
Five minutes later, a soldier entered the bear's den. When he saw Su Xiao, he immediately wanted to shout, but Su Xiao waved his left hand and the threads attached to the lair tightened and wrapped around the undead's neck.
This soldier didn't even have time to make a sound before he died. The only sound that reverberated through the den was the soft sound of flesh being pierced.
The blade of the sword protruded from the top of the undead's head.
The soldier's body went limp and it fell to the ground with a thud.
As the body fell to the ground, Su Xiao kicked the white-bellied bear.
The bear immediately growled in displeasure.
Today was definitely the worst day of his life.
The bear's roar echoed through the area around its lair. The dozens of soldiers not far from the cave looked at each other as they thought the same thing.
They were going to have a nice snack tonight.
A moment later, a soldier emerged from the bear's den. His strange stance and gait alerted his companions.
— Breaking the ring.
A flash of light immediately spread out in all directions.
The soldiers who were stationed near the lair only managed to feel a chill in their chests.
