Chapter 98 Hideout

Mo Yu went back to before applying to see Gula and canceled all his investigations into the third basement level.

He decided to advance the timeline.

Based on the intelligence gathered so far, entering the hideout is a completely random event. So he'll stake out the location, and if he sees someone enter, he'll immediately rewind and rush in first.

In addition, this place is also a geomantically auspicious location.

A whole bunch of second and third evolutions, all full of attribute points and skill points! Everyone who enters here is talented, and they all speak so nicely. He loves being here.

Be prepared for a long-term stay.

Mo Yu retrieved her personal belongings.

The management here is completely chaotic; prison guards and criminals are mixed together and obey Govia's rule.

He can take his things back whenever he wants; the prison guards don't care. There's a magic potion in the bag; if he decides to wait and wait, he'll use the time to cultivate.

His room was a prison guard's dormitory.

Single room.

After getting some food from the cafeteria, Mo Yu hid in his room to cultivate.

Waiting for the opportunity to find a hiding place.

When I get bored, I use backtracking deviation to airdrop a mirror image and kill a few monsters.

He wasn't worried about being exposed.

The prisoners in the Dry Sea Prison come from different races, and friction between them is constant. Although they are controlled and led by Govia, some conflicts still break out.

Monsters die every day.

Govia didn't care about these trivial matters at all.

A batch of prisoners is sent in from outside regularly. If some are not killed, this place will become overcrowded.

A few days passed in a flash.

Break time.

Most of the monsters returned to their cells.

The entire prison fell silent.

A fish-man is fleeing from the underground pipe mezzanine.

It was panicked and terrified.

At each corner, it would stop to observe, and only continue running forward after confirming that it had not seen the terrifying thing.

He is a maintenance worker.

When it finished inspecting part of the pipeline and tried to turn back, it found a terrifying thing blocking the exit. Its companion lay beside the thing, its neck twisted 180 degrees, its eyes bulging, and its scales bristling, clearly having been extremely frightened before its death.

It tried to see what it was.

When it looks directly at the other person, fear overwhelms its brain, and it can only see a dark blur and two red eyes.

It recalled the rumors of the past few days.

A ghost will randomly appear somewhere in the prison after most people have fallen asleep, killing those who are unsuspecting.

Many monsters have gone missing in the past few days.

escape.

Run away.

The fishman had only one thought in his mind.

This complex underground pipe network is a natural maze, and it knows it well, using the terrain to shake off that terrifying presence. But to its despair, the thing is relentlessly pursuing it, its footsteps echoing behind it, impossible to shake it off.

After navigating through the complex, maze-like underground pipe area, the fishman arrived at another exit. Seeing the exit sign, it felt much relieved. As long as it got out of there and shouted for help, it would be saved.

It reached out and pushed the door open a crack, when a hand emerged from the darkness and grabbed its wrist.

You cannot enter through this door.

The man's voice came, and the fishman turned his head in horror, only to see a humanoid creature hidden under a hood, completely covered up.

Click.

Twist the fishman's neck.

Mo Yu looked at the safety door in front of her.

After waiting for five days, the hiding place finally appeared.

Once the merman pushes open the door, it will enter its hiding place, thus escaping his pursuit. Although it eventually dies, its mangled corpse appears at the doorway.

Upon discovering the opportunity, Mo Yu immediately rewound the timeline, accelerated forward, and prevented the other party from entering the room.

After killing the fishman, he pushed open the door and entered.

To his disappointment, there was a staircase behind the door. As he went up the stairs, he found himself still inside the prison, unable to enter the hiding place.

Rewind. Mo Yu observed carefully.

Once the fishman pushes open the security door and enters, it passes through a transparent barrier and then disappears into thin air.

It did indeed enter the hiding place.

rewind.

Mo Yu tried again, and this time, he and the fishman rushed into the gate together.

The fishman disappeared.

He entered the stairwell.

This thing even has identity verification?
That would be troublesome.

rewind.

Before the fishman could pass through the barrier, Mo Yu grabbed its tail and rushed into the door with it.

This time it's different.

Mo Yu could clearly feel that he had passed through a barrier, the air had become cold and mixed with the smell of soil, something he hadn't experienced in many days.

Looking around, the environment has changed drastically.

A huge, bright moon hung in the sky, obscuring the starlight. An ancient castle stood on a distant cliff, its outline clearly visible.

The surrounding area was a desolate wasteland, dimly lit, with a light mist a few dozen meters away, and anything beyond that was barely visible.

A hiding place.

Is it another space?
Or were they teleported to another location?
Mo Yu released the fishman, who screamed and ran forward in a panic, quickly disappearing into the mist and vanishing without a trace.

Instead of exploring immediately, he released the rewind.

We successfully returned to the moment before we entered.

It only divides the space, not the time, so it won't block his rewinding time like when entering a derivative timeline.

After confirming it was safe, Mo Yu followed the fishman into the hideout to investigate this special space.

He grabbed the fishman and charged straight toward the castle.

The entire route was through wasteland.

After running about a kilometer, we arrived at the gate of the castle.

There is a square in front of the gate.

The ground is paved with bluestone bricks.

In the center of the square stands a 10-meter-high giant sculpture depicting a heavily armored knight. Both the knight and his warhorse are clad in magnificent heavy armor, adorned with intricate and elaborate patterns. The horse rears up, the knight grips its belly, and holds a massive longsword, approximately 7 or 8 meters in length.

As Mo Yu looked at the sculpture, crimson characters appeared.

This is a guardian, extremely dangerous. Immediate escape is advised.

The fourth evolutionary form.

Mo Yu grabbed the fishman and hurled it forcefully at the sculpture. The fishman flew dozens of meters, rolling across the ground for a long distance before finally coming to a stop in front of the sculpture. The violent impact left it temporarily unable to get up.

The sculpture reacted immediately; its body quickly de-petrified and regained its vibrant colors.

The warhorse neighed, and the knight raised his greatsword.

The merman let out a sharp screech, scrambled to his feet, and ran two meters before being cleaved in two by the greatsword, exploding into a cloud of blue blood mist.

The knight returned to his original position, changed his posture, and froze on the sculpture platform again.

The blood mist dissipated and disappeared.

Nothing is left.

Mo Yu dared not set foot in the square; he took a detour, trying to find another way to enter the castle.

The castle is located on a cliff, and the square is the only access point. To get around it, you have to take an unusual route.

Relying on his superhuman strength, he chose to become like a gecko, climbing down the cliff. With his immense strength, he could easily insert his hands into the rocks, using the smooth mountainside for leverage, making the climb effortless.

Climbing up the cliff.

Strange things are happening.

No matter how he climbed, the distance between him and the castle remained unchanged. He could see the traces he left behind when he looked back, but he could never reach the end.

He tried to back out.

The result was that it quickly returned to the starting point.

This is not a normal world; space itself is abnormal. The ancient castle is so close yet so far, inaccessible by ordinary means.

Try a direct approach.

The moment Mo Yu stepped into the plaza, the guardian knight revived, spurring its horse forward with a thunderous roar as it charged towards Mo Yu.
