Ark of the Immortal

Bloody Thorn swallowed the roasted meat into his stomach in two or three mouthfuls, and wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve indifferently. Then he wiped his hands on his dirty clothes, and then looked at the undead man.

He pulled out the two long knives from his waist.

Scout and Mimi were instantly alert. One of them held the short knife behind them, and the other took two steps back, ready to support Scout at any time.

This is the tacit understanding they developed during team combat.

"What's wrong? Why are you so nervous?"

Bloodthorn was stunned for a moment.

"I'm not going to fight with you two."

He looked at the undead man again and said provocatively.

"Hey! Don't you just come out and act stupid? What are the terms of my deal with you? Have you forgotten?"

The immortal thought for a while, and then suddenly realized.

"Oh, I almost forgot."

"You really forgot?!"

Bloodthorn is so angry that he is itching his teeth. He is not that weak, right? He can even forget the agreement to fight with him?

At that time, the undead asked Bloodthorn to protect Maria, and the content of the deal was that the two would have a fight after meeting again.

Just as the undead man was about to stand up, pick up the giant sword on his back, and teach Bloodthorn a lesson, Scout next to him stopped the two of them.

"Wait a minute, now is not the time for a fight."

Scout stretched out his hand, stopped the undead man's hand that was about to grasp the giant sword behind his back, and said to the bloody thorn next to him.

"Now that we are in some trouble, can you wait until the matter is resolved?"

Scout showed the undead the terminal he carried with him again.

"It's already 5:40, and there is only ten minutes of communication time at 6 o'clock. Let's settle the matter of how to get into the city first, okay?"

Only then did the undead man remember time. He looked at the Blood Thorn and asked for his opinion.

Bloodthorn shrugged his shoulders and put the two knives back into his waist, indicating that he had no objection.

However, Bloodthorn did hear what Scout just said, and he continued.

"What, you want to go into the city?"

"Yes, we came to Ursus because we have something to resolve in Checheng."

"Is it difficult?"

As soon as he said this, Scout couldn't help but look at the bloody thorns a few more times.

Could this be an unknown invisible master?

Bloodthorn didn't have any consciousness, he just looked at Scout strangely.

"No, are you planning to enter through the city gate?"

"yes."

Scout nodded.

"But the protection facilities at the city gate are too strict, and we can't find a breakthrough..."

"Why do we have to go through the city gate?"

Bloodthorn asked rhetorically.

"Even I know it's hard to break through the city gate. It would be too troublesome. Can't we go through the sewer?"

"sewer?!"

Scout and Mimi looked at each other and realized that they seemed to have missed something very important.

"No, no? Don't you think the people in Qie City don't know how to live their daily lives?"

Bloodthorn puffed up his chest and said proudly.

"Going into dog holes and running into sewers, don't you know how to do such things?"

Scout suddenly realized that the person in front of him was a wandering Sarkaz-infected Blood Demon.

These three buffs were fully stacked, and Bloodthorn, a reckless man who only knew how to fight, was basically in a state of being beaten by everyone on the continent of Terra.

Unlike Warfarin, who can use her rich knowledge to win respect.

And only such people, when they are desperate and wandering, will rack their brains to find something that ordinary people are unaware of. Even though Scout has found all the entrances as much as possible.

It just so happens that Bloodthorn is such a person.

170. Enter! Chernobog!

In fact, Scout and Mimi also recorded any gaps outside the wall during their investigation. Things like sewers and pipes have been considered.

However, according to their records, these roads were either blocked by debris or drained away, making it impossible to enter the city.

And because Scout didn't get the urban planning map of the entire Qicheng City. So I don't know where the sewers lead to. After considering safety, Scout gave up the idea of ​​entering the city from these unconventional points.

But now that Blood Thorn has brought it up, he must have a way, and from what he said, it seems that he has already walked around the city?

"Are you coming out of the city?"

Scout took a closer look at Bloodthorn's appearance. His clothes were shabby, and even the scabbard was covered in black stains condensed with blood and dust. He looked nothing like the original knight.

"I walked around the city for a while, but it wasn't fun in there and there wasn't anyone worth fighting, so I came out."

Bloodthorn waved his hand, and he spoke with some loss of interest.

"I originally thought about going to Longmen, but I really didn't expect to meet you on the road."

Bloodthorn also looked at Scout carefully. It didn't matter. Only then did Bloodthorn realize that he had never heard Scout's obvious breathing before. His every move seemed to be covered with a curtain of shadow.

If it weren't for Scout himself speaking out, Bloodthorn would not even look at him.

"It's interesting!"

Blood Thorn looked at Scout, his eyes getting more and more excited, and in the end he couldn't help but hold the handle of the knife at his waist.

Scout looked at the Blood Thorn helplessly. In a sense, this man is really a pure competitive knight.

"First tell me where you came from. Let's go into the tent and discuss it."

"That's okay, but you have to fight me later too!"

"..."

Still unable to defeat Bloodthorn, Scout had no choice but to nod and agree to Bloodthorn's request, telling him that when the matter with Chernobog was resolved, he would find a chance to fight with him.

Bloodthorn then entered the tent and pointed out on the map the point where he got out of Qie City.

Scout and Mimi each took out their own copies of the map and compared it. They found that this point, the last time they checked it, was what kind of sewer outlet was washed by the water flow.

The two of them only included this sewer opening in their escape route when arranging their retreat.

"Here? Wasn't this place washed out by the water? What we want is the route into the city, not the route out of the city."

Scout looked for Bloodthorn again to confirm the target location, and Bloodthorn scratched his head.

"Really? How do I remember that there was no water when I came out? Although the ground was indeed wet, there was indeed no water when I came out."

When Mimi and Scout heard this, they immediately understood that this sewer opening might have other uses.

Blood Thorn thought about it again and said.

"At that time, I sent my family out, and they took me out of Chernobog. They also told me that this road was absolutely safe. Because there were people from the Chernobog Water Power Bureau. He is also their friend, and the sewer will be emptied from time to time every day, about half an hour or so."

"Then this is not an investigation issue. We really don't have that much time to confirm this kind of information that only insiders know."

After Scout determined this point, he put down the pen in his hand, glanced at the time next to him, and nodded to the undead man.

"Time is up."

The undead man looked at the blood thorn beside him, and was about to speak out to ask the blood bramble to leave, but Scout spoke first.

"Mr. Bloodthorn, what's next is our internal discussion in Rhodes Island, which will be connected to the headquarters. If it's convenient, could you please go out and sit by the bonfire?"

"Rhode Island?"

Bloodthorn paid attention to the name for a moment, then nodded and ran out without clinging to it.

After the tent curtain was lowered, Scout nodded to Mimi and asked Mimi to go out too.

Mimi obediently followed the bloody thorns and left the tent. Now only Scout and the undead were left in the entire tent.

Scout adjusted the frequency band of his terminal.

After a rustling sound, a somewhat blurry picture appeared on the terminal's monitor. But the undead man could vaguely recognize that it was Amiya. After all, the figure and the long ears on his head are so distinctive.

"Hello? Hello? Hello? Can you hear me, Scout-senpai?"

Amiya tapped the monitor over there. She seemed to be greeting the undead and the others, but she didn't hear the two of them talking.

Scout quickly waved his hand in front of the screen and responded with a few words.

After adjusting for a while, the connection finally became a little smoother.

"Okay, the signal is stable now, but in order to ensure the safety of your position, we still have to end the communication before six ten. Let me see... there are still seven minutes and forty-two seconds left."

Amiya glanced at the time in the upper right corner, and then the big white and green cat next to Amiya came to the center of the screen.

"Scout, have you reunited with the undead, right? I see that your two signal positions almost overlap."

"Yes, we stay together now."

Scout also kept the story short. After he reported the incident to Kelsey, he immediately reported a series of situations that occurred during the day to Kelsey.

"That is to say, after the communication ended yesterday, you tried to break through Qicheng's peripheral defense system, but failed in the end. Not only were Usas's sergeants pursuing you, but you were also ambushed by people from the Integration Movement. Now Tutui and Changyin are injured, But found a way into town.”

Having said that, I have to mention it. Rhodes Island is now wandering on the border of Ursus' territory. As soon as Scout determines the route into and out of the city, the team led by Ace and Linguang will set off from the headquarters immediately.

Kelsey frowned. This time, the intensity of Qicheng was beyond her imagination.

Originally, in the calculation of Rhode Island's underlying computer, entering Qicheng was not a big problem. But after rescuing the doctor, leaving under such a big noise is the most difficult thing to accomplish.

But now, Qicheng City looks like something big is about to happen. Why are Ursus's sergeants so strict in defending Qicheng City?

Scout thought for a moment and added another sentence

"Ah, by the way, one more thing. The person who gave us information about entering the city is Casimir's former competition knight, the Blood Blade Knight who was the runner-up in this year's Casimir Special Championship."

"I know this person, and he is with you now?"

Kelsey glanced at the undead man on the left side of the screen. The undead man was silent and silent.

Scout nodded.

"Bloodthorn claimed that he had stayed in the city for a while, and then sent someone out yesterday, and then he met us."

"How credible is this statement?"

Kelsey asked Scout directly. She trusted Scout's judgment.

"Seventy percent. At least he and Mr. Undead are old acquaintances. And after meeting us, he showed no obvious intention to attack."

"That's enough. If possible, try to invite him to come with you."

"Is there any record on the island?"

"Yes, and the rating is not low. If you can, try to get it."

Immediately afterwards, Kelsey's exchange with Scout completely finalized Scout's course of action for the next day. Then, when the communication lasted only about two minutes, Kelsey spoke.

“Is the situation serious with thumbtacks and long tones?”

"It's very serious, but there is no way. Yulan cannot perform surgery without the conditions. Thumbtack's legs are shattered. We can only rely on Origin Stone skills to delay the deterioration of the injury. But it can only last for two or three days. ”

When it comes to thumbtacks and long notes, Scout's expression darkens again.

He was a good captain and worried about Thumbtack and Long Tongue. But he is also a member of Rhode Island. In this case, in order for the mission to be successfully completed, some sacrifices must be made.

However, Scout couldn't help but ask.

"Can you..."

When Kelsey heard Scout speak, she knew that Scout wanted her to temporarily send one or two medical department operators to the scene.
