I'll forge a new destiny

Chapter 51 In the Sewer

"Is there a stronghold in the upper city area that has been taken away?"

"It seems that the leader of Mellon's generation is still leading the team himself?"

"With the Scale Sea Guards, not a single person in that stronghold escaped under the sea abyss net."

"Damn, I don't know the reason for the suppression in this damn place. It's too troublesome."

"Who says it's not the case? Normally, there is no field like this that can be maintained forever. It's as if there is no consumption."

"It doesn't matter, wait for us later——"

"Be careful!"

The leader interrupted the communication among his subordinates. Although this sewer, as a place where they often walked, had been cleaned countless times, and various detection methods were deployed.

Under the unique suppression of Eris Port, it is a detection method that is difficult to avoid and interfere with.

But in any case, as a sewer system with complex terrain and a smooth and open space, the propagation of sound here is much easier than above. If we really talked about something important and someone with clear eyes and ears in the sewer knew about it, it would always be a troublesome thing.

After being interrupted once, these subordinates knew the importance and decisively skipped the topic.

'Tsk! '

Zhang Xing couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue in his heart, and carefully avoided a trap that was not obvious, and used the ubiquitous water vapor here to brush away the things under the trap.

Why do you think those people are so cautious?

This ghost place is as clean as if it had been licked by a dog. I have been walking around for so long and haven’t encountered anyone. It’s completely different from what Tucci said.

In particular, there are these early warning mechanisms that can be seen everywhere. Anyone who is not cautious enough or has no ability will definitely be exposed.

In the Port of Eris, everyone is almost incompetent - except Zhang Xing.

So since everything here is so safe, why don't these cowards dare to be bold?

‘Nah, say something exciting, why are you talking about me? ’

But his voice will certainly not affect those in front, unless he is willing to take action.

"Compared to the fact that the Scale Sea Guards were dispatched again, I heard something different before I came back?"

Seeing other companions looking over curiously, even the leader slowed down a bit. The one who spoke couldn't help shaking his robe, looking mysterious.

"How about talking to more people? You just don't want to leave the stronghold too far, otherwise you wouldn't know anything now."

"Those who strayed too far from the stronghold have been taken away together with the stronghold."

"On the 17th, that means we are in Xiacheng District. Otherwise, you would have been arrested long ago with your appearance."

"Fuck you, I changed my clothes when I went out."

"How to change, turn the robe inside out?"

"Let him talk about things, what's the difference?"

After receiving the leader's signal, No. 17 nodded, glanced at No. 18, No. 19, and No. 20 around him. After feeling a wave of displeasure, he spoke of the news he had received.

"According to the news, when Scale Sea Guards arrived at that stronghold, it had already been overturned."

No. 17 lowered his voice and made a threatening gesture: "And he's alone?"

"How is that possible? Did you fucking hear it wrong?"

"That's right, even if that stronghold is to be abandoned, a lot of energy will be spent on repairing it. Even if Mellann and several other nobles in the upper city really want to take action, it is nothing, but it is not a People can lift it."

"You have to know that in this hellish place, it's impossible to do big things alone."

"Who knows, anyway, when it happened, there must not only be Linhaiwei and our people there. And Linhaiwei must have suffered a loss..."

"It was clearly visible when they were gathering the team. They were all in such a sorry state." No. 17 sneered twice: "No one knows exactly what happened, but it's impossible for the people from that stronghold to let them suffer the loss. Right?" As soon as he said this, the other three shook their heads.

There is nothing in the Port of Eris that can make the Tritonians suffer - most forces cannot do it, and those who can do it will not do so.

"You put it like that, is there really any strong dragon?"

"How could there be a strong dragon in Eris?"

"Have!"

The four of them looked at the leader who stopped in front of them, a little surprised.

"The news we received before coming here made us all temporarily stop our actions and calm down, and then wait for the next instructions. In a short period of time, this is the last time we come here to patrol. I was still wondering why. Now it seems, There must have been some change, a huge change—"

Looking at the four surprised subordinates, the leader shook his head.

"Actually, I didn't pay much attention before. I thought it was just about the end, and the superiors were accustomed to being cautious. But it seems that it is best for you not to take any action until the plan is fully launched. Or wait for me to ask clearly how big the matter is. .”

After a brief explanation, the leader continued to move forward, leaving a few confused subordinates looking at each other.

Zhang Xing, who had restrained his murderous intentions, was also left behind.

The man looked at the men in black robes who hurriedly followed the leader and stopped to think.

Zhang Xing was not worried about losing him at all - he had already reached this point, and unless those people in front could fly, they would not be able to escape his perception.

'It turns out this is not a stronghold, but a place for inspection...'

What to inspect?

What else could it be?

He took out the map Tucci gave him, looked around again, and determined his location after comparison.

Although there was still quite a distance, he was already 80% sure that these people were going to his destination.

'So that mark, or what's underneath it, is useful to these people? ’

This is the right trip!

Not only was it the right time, it was even the right time.

It would be impossible to know the news later, and it might be blocked earlier.

It's not that Zhang Xing is afraid of being blocked. To him, killing all these people is just like having fun. Especially from what they said, they are the only ones in charge of this area, and no one will come here in the near future.

But Zhang Xing can't take action now - the leader's last words saved him, and now Zhang Xing has to wait for him to ask other people to draw out more traces.

'You wouldn't ask someone of the same level to ask about this kind of thing, right? You might even be the only one who wants to ask...'

What if there is a meeting?
  Doesn't that give Zhang Xing the opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop?

After thinking about this clearly, the thought of killing people will fade away afterwards.

Stepping lightly, Zhang Xing looked at the sewer, which was very different from what Tucci described, and followed him again.

‘It seems like they take that thing seriously, otherwise this place wouldn’t be so clean. ’

There are no shortage of survivors in the sewers, and of course no one will take them seriously even if they die. Therefore, it is really difficult to tell how many dead souls there have been on this clean road.

Looking at it this way, Tucci's luck is really good. If he hadn't boarded the ship, it is estimated that this force would have to find a way to clean up the ratman in the sewer.

Although his destiny after boarding the ship was probably to embark on a journey to the underworld, Zhang Xing happened to be there.

Just like now, Zhang Xing happens to be here.
