Chapter 139 Night Exploration of the Demon Cave (2)
Chapter 139 Night Exploration of the Devil's Cave ([-])
Minister Ernest's mansion looks like a small city, and its overall structure is similar to two characters [hui] nested together.
The center of the manor is the castle-shaped mansion where Minister Ernest lives on weekdays, and three high square walls guarded by heavy soldiers are erected on the periphery.
Not only that, there is also a small army stationed behind the mansion. Once the manor encounters an intruder that is difficult to resist, it will send out a signal to summon the army to come to the scene for reinforcements.
This level of defense almost eliminated the possibility of small-scale enemy invasion. Even the night attack of all Tegu envoys could not break in here and kill Minister Ernest, who made them hate him to the bone.
After a while, Yunkong appeared outside the manor, looking at the high wall more than ten meters high and the guard soldiers on it.
"As expected of an empire that has ruled here for thousands of years, even though it has been devastated, it still cannot be underestimated."
The soldiers guarding here, whether in spirit or weapons, are completely different from those members of the guard that Yunkong killed before.
Their eyes were firm, their breaths were calm, and they exuded a faint bloody murderous aura from all over their bodies. At a glance, they could tell that they were elite soldiers who had really experienced bloody battles.
These elite soldiers from the imperial army are responsible for defending the outermost high wall. At intervals, several heavily armed soldiers stand guard on it.
After observing them for a while, Yunkong turned around and walked towards the main entrance of the manor.
The outer gate of the manor is a huge metal hollow gate engraved with the emblem of the minister's family, guarded by ten elite imperial soldiers on both sides.
It was not time to rest yet, and the door was still open, so Yun Kong walked in directly from the main door.
The reason why Yun Kong made such a move was, of course, that he was not planning to forcefully break in and kill all directions, but used a prop—an invisibility potion that can hide his figure from the visual level.
"I didn't like the invisibility potion invented by Big Big Wolf before, but I didn't expect to use it now. It's a bit embarrassing."
Although the invisibility potion has a lot of flaws and is invisible to masters, it is more than enough to deal with these elite soldiers who have no special abilities.
With the help of the invisibility potion, Yunkong successfully passed the gate guarded by the imperial soldiers. After walking several hundred meters along the avenue, he came to the periphery of the second high wall.
The guards of the second high wall, in addition to a large number of imperial soldiers, also included some boxers, mercenaries, and killers. They should be masters recruited by Minister Ernest from all over the place.
However, what Yunkong cares most about is that some of the soldiers are accompanied by some dangerous dogs similar to hounds.
"The invisibility potion can hide the body shape, but it can't hide the smell. You have to find a way."
Yunkong frowned slightly, and thoughts were spinning rapidly in his mind, thinking about the way to pass here smoothly.
It didn't take long for Yunkong to think of a feasible method and immediately experimented.
"Ice Escape · Ice Fog!"
With Yunkong's low cry in his heart, the surrounding temperature gradually dropped, and some dense fog composed of tiny ice crystals filled the air, covering the entire manor inside.
"Huh? It's foggy all of a sudden?"
"Be careful, this fog is not normal, it may be someone intruding."
"Close the gate immediately, pay attention to the respective surveillance areas, and don't allow anyone to sneak in."
Facing the sudden thick fog, the guards immediately talked a lot, and then responded under the captain's order, all of them cheered up.
"Ice Escape·Ice Armor!"
After the ice fog thickened to a certain level, Yunkong created a thin layer of armor on the surface of his body, this time blocking his own smell to prevent being noticed by those dangerous dogs.
At the same time, Yun Kong chose a high wall with fewer guards, jumped up at an extremely fast speed, and climbed over it silently.
Although this method was a bit alarming, Yun Kong still successfully passed the second high wall and entered the next area.
However, Yun Kong was forced to stop before taking a few steps, because in the large area between the second high wall and the third high wall, there were actually a large number of traps hidden.
"Three meters to the left, a thin wire is hidden among several flowers and plants. It is likely to be a triggering alarm mechanism."
"Seven meters to the right, the color of the grass there is slightly different from that of the surrounding area, probably a sinking or trapping trap."
"Eight meters in front of the left."
"13 meters ahead to the right"
The knowledge of traps that Yun Kong once learned in the ninja school but was not very valued by Yun Kong played a huge role at this time, helping Yun Kong detect the carefully arranged traps one by one.
After spending a lot of effort, Yunkong passed through the trap area of the mechanism and came to the periphery of the last high wall.
Compared with the previous two high walls, the scope of the last high wall is much smaller, so the number of guards has also been reduced.
However, this does not mean that Minister Ernest does not pay attention to the defense of this high wall, on the contrary, because behind this high wall is his mansion and castle.
Although the number of guards has decreased, correspondingly, the quality has been greatly improved. Overall, the defense capability has reached its peak.
"One, 21, and eleven are slightly weaker than the guards of Chi Tong and others in terms of imposing manner. This is not counting Minister Ernest's confidants, the Raksha Four Ghosts. It is worthy of being called a 'demon lair'."
After investigating the situation of these guards, Yun Kong still chose to move on. After all, they have come, how could they leave without even trying.
In case these guards can't find themselves, there is a chance to get rid of Minister Ernest, so that the empire will fall into chaos earlier, and the revolutionary army can launch an uprising faster to overthrow the decaying empire.
After making up his mind, Yun Kong repeated his old tricks and tentatively passed the third high wall.
However, when Yunkong climbed up the high wall with the help of thick fog, suddenly the bell rang loudly, and a rough voice shouted: "In the southwest, there are intruders climbing the wall."
With the sound of this voice, the other guards immediately took action. Someone manipulated a device similar to a sprinkler to spray a purple liquid for marking on the high wall where Yunkong was.
Obviously, without seeing the sky, the guards had already noticed that the intruder had a way to hide, so they chose this way to deal with it.
"Has it really been discovered? I know it's not that easy, so let's stop here."
Yun Kong paused, and ended this exploration operation helplessly, and immediately stopped keeping it, and broke through with a tyrannical posture.
