Chapter 293 The Girl in the Cave



After ascertaining the situation of the Blackwater Tribe, Su Bai quickly made a decision.

He directly ordered several of his player lords to launch a large-scale frontal attack overnight.

He then went around to the back.

Heading towards the clan camp of the Blackwater tribe.

The frontal attack was, of course, a cover-up. Although he had been developing his territory peacefully for a few days after taking over the entire Qinglong Society's territory.

But they're not strong enough to wage a full-scale war against the Blackwater tribe.

He wasn't prepared for this either.

Therefore, regardless of whether those few people strictly follow his orders, as long as their troops move, they can immediately divert the Blackwater Tribe's attention and help him share some of the risks.

Traveling at night on the wind.

After riding the giant wolf across two mountains, Su Bai arrived at the central area of ​​the northern part of Fallen Dragon Island for the first time.

As dawn broke, the waning moon hung high in the sky, the trees were tall and the shadows were dense. In the vast forest, all around was a thick, impenetrable darkness, so thick that one could hardly see their own hand in front of their face.

With the light blocked by the dense canopy, the giant wolves' night vision was also rendered ineffective.

Su Bai had no choice but to light the torch.

However, with the Eye of the Sky monitoring his surroundings from above, he wasn't afraid of being discovered by the enemy beforehand.

"Ugh..."

As they passed through a woodland, the giant wolf of the grassland suddenly let out a trembling howl and stopped in its tracks.

"Take a detour."

Upon seeing this, Su Bai immediately understood that there were high-level monsters active nearby, and the pheromones they left in the environment prevented the giant wolves of the grassland from setting foot there.

Of course, you should avoid such situations if possible.

He's not here to fight monsters.

The northern inner perimeter is already an area where high-level monsters roam, so Su Bai is extremely careful when moving around here.

Fortunately, the Eye of the Sky can see the energy intensity of monsters, allowing him to identify where monsters are and how strong they are, while the giant wolf's keen sense of smell can serve the same purpose.

He proceeded cautiously and avoided a fight.

soon.

The journey became smooth.

The area where high-level monsters were active gradually decreased until it disappeared. It is the instinct of living beings to seek advantage and avoid harm, which means that he has approached the area where humans are active.

Su Bai made the giant wolf of the grassland stay in place.

He raised his hand and wiped it away.

A dark gray mist instantly enveloped his body, as if he had vanished into another dimension, a world completely forgotten by humankind...

After traveling alone for a short distance...

In the forest.

A striking sign made of various animal bones appeared before his eyes.

Upon seeing the mark, Su Bai felt an involuntary fear and wanted to flee immediately, but he forcibly suppressed this instinct with reason and went straight to the mark.

【Terror Totem: Common, Level 1, Health: 1000/1000, Special Skill: Fear Spread (Induces fear in nearby units, preventing them from approaching)】

...

This is probably a tool used by the Blackwater tribe to drive away monsters.

It works quite well.

Even he had the urge to retreat when he first saw it, let alone a monster whose intelligence was inferior to that of a human.

However, he doesn't need it. Players' territories are protected by safe zones, which are many levels more effective at controlling beasts than this thing.

The appearance of the terrifying totem also means that the area further ahead is the territory of the Blackwater Clan.

Su Bai extinguished the torch in his hand, relying entirely on the Eye of the Sky for guidance.

We walked for a while longer.

In the distance, a patch of flickering firelight gradually appeared. It was a primitive village built against the mountain, with houses made of wood and thatch stretching from the edge of the forest all the way to the mountainside, like a mountain stronghold.

It was already past midnight, but there were still quite a few fires flickering in the mountain stronghold, and shouts could be faintly heard coming from within.

The ancestral sacrifice failed, coupled with his troops' overnight attack.

It kept the people of the Blackwater tribe awake all night.

The timing is perfect.

But Su Bai didn't risk getting too close.

In the game, any stealth ability is limited by level. Higher-level units have a natural advantage in detecting lower-level units. He cannot guarantee that having the 'Forgotten One' effect will prevent him from being detected by the opponent.

The Blackwater Clan is the only reference point on the incomplete map.

Having found a landmark, Su Bai followed the route and plunged into the dense forest. After traveling an unknown distance, he stopped in front of a mountain wall covered with vines and weeds.

This place is indeed well hidden.

Without a map, he probably would have wandered around for months without noticing this place, and even if he had come here, he would never have imagined that there would be a path hidden in the mountain wall in front of him.

He reached out and parted the thick, tough vines in front of the mountain wall, revealing a dark cave entrance.

laugh!

After entering the cave, Su Bai lit a torch.

Before him was a narrow passage, no more than a meter wide on either side. Even at 1.8 meters tall, he had to bend over. The walls on both sides were covered with moss, and traces of human excavation could be vaguely discerned.

At this moment.

Su Bai noticed a series of messy marks on the ground.

"Someone has been here...more than one." There were still a few inconspicuous bloodstains on the ground, mixed with dust, not yet completely dry.

"Was that slave the one who arrived here first, and then caught when he tried to escape?"

"Or has this place already been exposed...?"

Su Bai frowned slightly.

The passageway was short; after walking a dozen meters, it suddenly opened up into a stone chamber of only a dozen square meters. In the corner were some dusty boxes and miscellaneous items, as well as a bed.
