Just now, they clearly felt the strange movements of the Gu worms in their bodies.
This unusual movement was like a silent signal, meaning that Yu Ying might be not far from them.
A sudden panic gripped the two of them, as if a boulder had been thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to spread.
Yu Ying's appearance was too sudden, like a bolt from the blue, catching them completely off guard, and their originally calm hearts were instantly filled with fear.
They knew all too well that Yu Ying was ruthless and exceptionally capable, and her appearance this time would undoubtedly bring tremendous changes to the mission.
For a moment, they were at a loss as to how to deal with it, their minds in complete chaos.
Fortunately, they had not received any news from Yu Ying for so long, which relieved their tense nerves.
But this ease is only temporary; Yu Ying could appear at any moment, and danger hangs like the Sword of Damocles over their heads.
They prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that tonight's operation would go smoothly, that they could avoid the unknown dangers brought by Yu Ying, and that no further complications would arise.
At the third quarter of the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), the sound of the water clock echoed like a mysterious drumbeat from the depths of the underworld, lingering and reverberating in the silent night sky.
The sound was ethereal and far-reaching, like the hand of fate gently plucking the strings of a musical instrument, announcing the arrival of the moment of action.
Qin Qianluo, Yao Guang, and the others instantly transformed into a group of well-trained, shadowy figures, moving with near-ghostly speed and silence.
The night was like thick ink, pressing heavily on the earth, like an endless black silk, completely enveloping everything in the world.
The deep night seemed to be the perfect cover bestowed upon them by nature.
Several lithe figures dressed in black resembled agile night elves.
Embraced by the gentle night, it sped swiftly towards the city gates of the Kingdom of Jizi, like a sudden storm.
Their figures were lithe and graceful, each step they took seemed to tread on the soft pulse of the night, moving with lightning speed.
Yet they were as still as the breath of the night, without a sound, as if they were part of the night, blending into the darkness, inseparable.
Even the gentle breeze seemed to have come on purpose to conceal their presence, quietly burying their scent and sounds.
Upon arriving at the city gate, the squads dispersed swiftly and methodically, like ghosts.
With the keen senses they had developed through rigorous training and their deep understanding of the terrain, they each found their designated positions with perfect accuracy.
At this moment, they were like cheetahs lurking in the dark jungle, their eyes gleaming with a wary and sharp light in the night.
Like a sharp falcon, it scans every inch of the surrounding land.
Even a withered leaf falling quietly in the breeze, or the slightest sound of a breeze rustling through the grass.
Nothing can escape their keen senses, which are as sharp as precision instruments.
Every nerve in their bodies was taut, as if they had achieved a mysterious resonance with the dark environment.
Any slight change can stir up a ripple of alertness in their hearts.
Qin Qianluo turned slightly to the side, her movement as light as a feather floating in the night sky.
Her hand quietly reached into the space, as if searching for a mysterious treasure hidden deep in time.
A moment later, she took out the eagle claw. Under the gentle caress of the faint moonlight, the eagle claw gleamed with a cold and sharp metallic luster.
Like the menacing fangs of a beast lurking in the darkness, it exudes a chilling aura.
She took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly, and an invisible force quietly gathered within her.
Immediately afterwards, he exerted force with his arm, like drawing a powerful bow ready to be released, and swung it forcefully.
The eagle-hooked claw, like a black lightning bolt, carried a fierce force and a sharp sound of wind breaking, embedding itself firmly into the city wall like a bullet fired from a gun.
It emitted only a very faint muffled sound, like a soft sigh from the night.
It was instantly swallowed by the boundless darkness and disappeared without a trace, without attracting the attention of anyone else.
Upon witnessing this scene, Yao Guang immediately understood, a knowing glint in her eyes.
With the same skillful and fluid movements, the eagle talons were precisely and accurately fixed in the right position.
Her movements were fluid and seamless, without the slightest pause or hesitation, demonstrating her exceptional skill and profound expertise.
The city wall stood straight before them, almost perpendicular to the ground, like a towering, insurmountable cliff, majestic and solemn.
Even those martial arts masters with superb lightness skills, as light as a swallow, who can freely move through thousands of troops.
Faced with such steep and sheer city walls, it would be difficult to stay on them for long, let alone carry out operations freely.
Moreover, they were tasked with the arduous and extremely cautious mission of untying the ropes binding the remains.
Every movement had to be performed with utmost care, leaving no room for error, which undoubtedly added great difficulty and challenge to the operation.
Qin Qianluo was aware of the complexity and danger of the operation.
Like searching for rare treasures in a vast, intricate treasure maze, I searched intently for a long time.
Her eyes revealed determination and persistence, leaving no corner unchecked.
Finally, she found several exquisitely crafted eagle claws.
The design of this eagle hook is ingenious. The hook part is extremely sharp and gleams coldly in the moonlight, as if it can easily tear apart any obstacle.
