Astral Apostle Chapter 57: Stealth and the Butterfly Effect

Yellow clouds piled up, and the setting sun hung down, coating Baiyuan City with a layer of blood.

The pedestrians on the street gradually thinned out and became deserted.

Zhou Jing hid at the corner of the house, looked at the lord's longhouse across the street, and his eyes wandered around the windows of the castle.

He has been stepping on the spot throughout the day, and he has roughly figured out the situation around Root.

Because of being frightened for half a year, Root has been staying in the castle. If he wanted to kidnap him, he could only sneak in. He has deployed several guards in the castle for a long time. They work in two shifts during the day and night, and stand guard on the main roads of the castle. . In addition, he also deployed a new batch of blood guards to protect his safety.

On paper, the castle is heavily fortified, making it difficult to enter quietly.

However, people will slack... The defense lasted for half a year, and no danger happened. The guards have already relaxed. It is impossible to expect them to tense their nerves for a long time.

In the past few months, some people were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, or they were quite dissatisfied with Root, hoping that some hunters would follow Jason and assassinate Root.

However, now that Baiyuan City is in depression and a large number of hunters have left, even the civilians feel that it is impossible for any more assassinations to happen. The guards also think the same way, and they will not be on guard all the time.

Tight on the outside and loose on the inside—this is how he judged the defense of the castle.

"Wait until midnight before doing anything." Zhou Jing was sure, and disappeared around the corner of the house.

…

The night came as scheduled, and Baiyuan City gradually fell asleep.

As time went by, the guards standing guard at the door also began to blatantly fish, yawning from time to time.

And in a low room on the side of the castle, there are two guards hiding here, chatting casually while eating some kind of nuts, occasionally turning their heads and lifting the curtains to observe the castle through the window.

Their task is to monitor the outer walls of the castle, to prevent people with extraordinary physical fitness from climbing the outer walls and sneaking into the castle through the windows, and immediately ring the bell for warning if they find out.

After only half a year, this sentry has been slacking off for a long time, and it's a shame not to sleep directly.

"Tsk, the last time the alien beasts rebelled, there were not enough hunters, so we had to use the army, and many people died. When there were enough hunters before, we wouldn't need us to work hard." One of the guards grumbled dissatisfied.

Another guard shrugged: "Fortunately, we were chosen to guard the castle, so we don't have to fight with strange beasts. It's so safe here. I think Baiyuan City is about to end, save some money here, and then go to other places Let’s settle down in the town.”

Although they are town guards, they also have dissatisfaction with Root. They just want to live, and there is no such thing as complete loyalty.

At this time, there seemed to be a figure swaying outside the curtain, flashing in the peripheral vision of the two of them.

The two subconsciously turned their heads to look, opened the curtain to check, but found no one outside.

Just as the two of them thought they had made a mistake by staying up late for too long, someone knocked on the door of the room behind them.

"Aggression."

The two instinctively turned around.

At this moment, a figure came in from the eaves above the window, and landed behind the two of them as silently as a civet cat, with its hands sticking out like ghosts.

Crack! Snapped!

The mouths and noses of the two guards were covered, and they couldn't yell.

The irresistible force directly pulled them into the arms of someone behind them, and then the arms pressing on the neck tightened suddenly.

The vision of the two fell into darkness for an instant, and they lost consciousness.

Zhou Jing stunned the two guards, put them lightly on the ground, and then pulled out the latch, allowing Rose, who was knocking on the door mechanically, to enter the room.

"Change clothes."

Zhou Jing gave an order, and put on the guard's clothes by himself.

He has been to the castle a few times before, and he is not unfamiliar with the structure inside. This is a four-story castle. Root's bedroom is on the third floor, and it is most convenient to climb the window from the outer wall to get in.

But he felt that Root was so scared, it was unlikely to leave such an omission, and he would definitely take some measures to prevent enemies with extraordinary bodies from directly climbing the outer wall and sneaking into his room.

So when he stepped on the site during the day, Zhou Jing changed his mind, thinking about how to take precautions with the resources of the lord, and finally came to the result that it still depends on human surveillance... After he deliberately searched, he found the surrounding area of ​​the castle during the day Watch the sentry on the outer wall.

He has quietly resolved any external sentries he found, so that the wall climbing will not be easily detected.

Zhou Jing and Rose quickly changed the clothes of the guards, took off some nail leaves that were easy to rub against each other, and then found a thick rope from the room to tie the two naked guards together. The coarse cloth gags his mouth. He generally has a sense of proportion against ordinary people, but it is enough for two guards to sleep for half a day.

After finishing this, Zhou Jing led Rose around to the rear of the castle, and under the cover of night, he quietly swam up the wall with extremely agile movements.

But Zhou Jing didn't go in directly through the window of the lord's bedroom on the third floor.

He felt that since Root was guarding against the hunters in the city, he probably didn't dare to continue to live in the original place. Perhaps he had changed to a room without windows.

Zhou Jing climbed directly to the roof, looked out from the crenel, and found that there were indeed a few guards standing guard on the roof, but they were basically taking a nap.

The only one who didn't sleep was taking off his shoes and concentrating on picking his feet, and smelling his hands from time to time.

"It's delicious..."

The corners of Zhou Jing's eyes twitched, and he turned up onto the roof with all his strength. With a single step, he covered a distance of several meters and jumped in front of this person.

The guard had just sniffed his fingers and was intoxicated, so there was no time to react.

As soon as he saw the figure, he was beaten by Zhou Jing with a knife, his eyes turned white, and he passed out.

The whole process took less than a second, there was almost no movement, and the rest of the guards were still asleep.

Zhou Jing made up his sword one by one, cleared the defense force of the rooftop, leaving only one guard, and vigorously shook this person to wake him up.

"Uh...has the guard changed?"

The guard opened his sleepy eyes and spoke subconsciously.

Suddenly felt the chill of metal on his neck. He looked down and found a long knife pressed on his neck, and his sleepiness was instantly frightened away.

The guard glanced to the side and saw that all his companions were lying unconscious on the ground, and he trembled all over.

"Don't shout, tell me what's going on in the castle, I'm only here for Root."

Zhou Jing spoke in a low voice.

The guard nodded tremblingly, not daring to disobey, and told the information he knew like beans in a bamboo tube.

That little salary is not enough to support his loyalty.

Since Lute probably changed rooms, Zhou Jing needed to find out Lute's location, and the guards stationed inside the castle should know.

The guards on the roof are on rotation, and this guard does know which floor Root is currently living on.

According to what he said, Root changed the room as expected, but it was still on the third floor. It was originally a servant's room without windows, and it was changed to a new bedroom. The original lord's bedroom housed several blood guards.

In addition, every room with a window in the castle has a door bolt on the outside of the door, which is locked from the outside. Even if you turn in through the window, you have to hit the door. As for the windows on the entire third floor, the guards are the strictest.

"It seems that it is easier to go down from the inside of the castle than to go in from the outside."

Zhou Jing thought to himself, but without hesitation, he raised his hand to knock this person unconscious.

After dealing with the mess, he took Rose down the stairs from the rooftop to the fourth floor and entered the castle.

The defense on the fourth floor is not strict, only occasionally guards can be seen patrolling or standing guard, all of them are fishing.

Although he changed into a guard outfit, it was taken as an insurance policy. Zhou Jing listened to his breathing with his extraordinary senses, figured out the distribution of guard posts, and walked around as much as possible.

The two soon came to the stairs leading to the third floor, which was guarded and could not be bypassed.

Zhou Jing pressed his round helmet and led Rose straight over, ready to be interrogated or even challenged.

However, the guard guarding the stairs only glanced at the two of them, and saw that they were dressed like guards, so they didn't bother anymore, chatting on their own, and let the two go downstairs.

Zhou Jing didn't look sideways, and led Rose through, knowing it well

Sure enough... the interior of the castle is already quite slack.

When we came to the third floor, the guards here were much denser. Zhou Jing walked around for a while without disturbing others, and quickly found his target.

It was an inconspicuous location. A narrow staircase led down from the corridor leading directly to the room. There were four guards standing guard at the stairs, and two other guards at the door. Root lived there. it's here.

"It seems that the blood guards all live on this floor. There may also be blood guards in Lute's room. Get close to Root, grab him and run, and don't worry about being discovered."

Zhou Jing pondered for a while, then resolutely led Rose to the stairs.

The four guards standing guard at the stairs noticed the two approaching, and their gazes fell on them one after another, trying to identify them.

Zhou Jing quickly approached the four people, and before they could ask questions, he took the initiative to speak:

"Karl told us to come over, we are going to change shifts."

"...Who is Karl?"

The four of them were taken aback by the words, and they got stuck when they were about to interrogate, subconsciously wondering if there was anyone named Karl among the people they knew.

At this moment, Zhou Jing exploded into trouble, as if he was a rabbit!

Taking advantage of the short moment when the four of them were stunned, he punched out his fists like a sharp arrow, hitting the chest and abdomen of the four of them one after another.

Bang bang bang!

The heavy force penetrated into the body, and the bones and tendons of the four were broken, and they fell to the ground screaming.

The face of the guard standing guard at the door of the room not far away suddenly changed, and his listless state suddenly became tense, and he shouted without thinking:

"There is an enemy attack! There is..."

The two of them shouted for a while, and Ross behind Zhou Jing rushed forward, charging like a bull.

Boom!

The two guards couldn't avoid it, but they were knocked back by Rose, and they slapped the door with their backs, making a muffled sound.

Rose kept on walking, slamming against the door against them.

Crack! !

The sound of wood cracking exploded, and the door was smashed into pieces by three people.

Rose pressed two guards whose bones had been broken, and rushed into the room.

The sudden loud noise woke up the people in the room.

Lute was frowning and dreaming of a nightmare, in which he was chasing and hacking with the chinless Jason again.

Suddenly, the dream was shattered by a loud noise, and he suddenly opened his eyes. He hadn't woken up yet, and looked at the broken door with dazed eyes.

On the other side of the room, there was a blood guard resting on the soft bed for personal protection, and he was also awakened at this time.

"Who!"

The alien blood guard yelled in fright, drew out his long knife suddenly, and killed Rose who was getting up from the ground.

However, before the blade could hit Rose, a figure suddenly appeared from the diagonal stab, and a side kick was as fast as lightning, which almost made him unable to react.

Boom! !

The next moment, the blood guard only felt severe pain in his side ribs, and the terrifying force seemed to break half of his ribs, and his whole body was kicked out.

With a bang, he flew out and smashed into the wall, and the long knife flew out of his hand.

The whole person was stunned on the ground, spurting blood, struggling to get up.

Zhou Jing succeeded in one blow without stopping, and when he caught up with him, he was a positive kick that went straight to the head.

The guard was so painful that he only had time to raise his hand to protect the front door, but his arm was immediately kicked, and his bones broke instantly.

Boom!

The explosive kick, like a cannonball being fired, cracked his skull directly across the arm.

The back of his head hit the wall hard, creating another dent and shaking out a circle of floating ash.

The guard of the different blood bled from his seven orifices and fell to the ground, unable to fight again.

Zhou Jing had no expression on his face, and made another kick, which broke his neck, and then stopped.

When dealing with alien blood warriors, he is not as "gentle" as dealing with ordinary people, and he will kill him if he can.

This guard has only one level of enhancement, but his own foundation is extraordinary, the effect of the second enhancement is much higher than that of ordinary people, his physical fitness is almost crushing, and the opponent is not his opponent at all.

A successful surprise attack can instantly kill the enemy.

At the same time, the movement here also alarmed the guards and blood guards on the entire floor.

"Tapping..."

The sound of chaotic footsteps sounded outside the door, quickly approaching, and soon the two of them will be blocked in this room,

Zhou Jing's complexion remained unchanged, the mighty strength from the secondary enhanced [Tiger Bravery] attribute penetrated his arms and slammed into the wall.

Boom!

The wall burst, bricks flew around, and a hole suddenly opened.

A gust of cold wind appeared, and outside was the scene of Baiyuan City.

Although there is no window for retreat in this room, it can still lead to the outside world by breaking through the wall. Before his extraordinary physical fitness, demolishing houses and walls was as easy as drinking water.

Root was too scared to move on the bed.

In the blink of an eye, a blood warrior from a tribe was instantly killed by the enemy. Lute didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that he would also be punched to death.

He was terrified, he didn't expect that half a year later, someone would imitate Jason and attack him.

Aren't those dissatisfied hunters gone? Where is this reckless guy?

"Knock him out and take him with you." At this moment, Zhou Jing didn't turn his head back.

Rose heard this and immediately bullied Root.

Lute was terrified, seeing the situation, he had no choice but to save himself. He wanted to delay the time, so he spoke boldly:

"You... don't mess around, attacking the lord is a felony, don't go on the path of crime..."

Hearing this, Zhou Jing turned his head and smiled playfully without opening his mouth.

Before when he fought against the different blood guards, Lu Te couldn't see his appearance clearly, and now he could see Zhou Jing's appearance clearly by the moonlight.

This moment,

It seemed that a big hand grabbed Root's heart violently.

Boundless fear spread from the bottom of my heart.

"Jay, Jason?!"

Root's eyes widened suddenly, unable to believe what he saw.

How is it possible, this man was watched to death with his own eyes!

Even if he didn't die, it's impossible for his jaw to grow back!

Ghost! Evil spirit! Come and kill me!

The nightmare that has been entangled for half a year suddenly appeared in reality

Lute opened his mouth wide open, his brain went blank, and the coldness penetrated his bone marrow, leaving only indescribable deep fear, which almost made him suffocate.

Crack!

Regardless of his reaction, Rose faithfully followed Zhou Jing's order, directly stunned Root, and then wrapped Root in a sheet, holding Root under his arm, like a poker-faced flower picker.

"Go!"

Zhou Jing didn't say anything else, he called Ross to jump out of the hole, and quickly disappeared among the continuous houses in the town.

From kicking the door, breaking the wall to kidnapping and running, the whole process took less than ten seconds. The efficiency was extremely high, and he went straight to Huanglong to steal the tower.

When the other blood guards and guards on the same floor arrived, they were faced with only a messy room with no one in it, and a hole that continuously poured in cold wind.

"Oops, the lord was kidnapped!"

"Catch up now!"

Many different blood guards were shocked and angry.

But when they turned their heads to look at the corpse of their companion on the ground, the group was extremely afraid and did not dare to catch up easily.

In such a short period of time, you can kill a different blood guard... I'm afraid this is the level of three enhancements, right? !

When did such a powerful person come to Baiyuan City?

The lord is gone, the dragons have no leader, and many guards are at a loss, not knowing who should give orders.

At this time, the captain of the guard from a tribe gritted his teeth and said loudly:

"Immediately notify the guards of the whole city to search the whole city, and guard the city gates tightly, so that no one can escape!"

This person is regarded as the small leader of the tribe's guards. The guards that Lute transferred from the tribe basically obeyed the captain.

Seeing that someone stood up to preside over the overall situation, many guards hurriedly followed orders.

The captain of the tribal guard looked at the other blood guards and shouted:

"We will immediately follow the trail and stop this person!"

Hearing that, although the guards with different bloods were afraid of the thief's skills, they were emboldened by their activities together, and immediately jumped out of the hole and followed Zhou Jing's trail.

The guards of the other tribes were about to move, but this man stopped everyone with his hand and whispered:

"Don't worry too much, the main thing is to protect yourself... It doesn't matter if Lute can't be saved."

The eyes of several tribal guards flashed, and they vaguely understood something.

In the past six months, Lute has been in trouble, and he has been occupying the position of the lord. I am afraid that there are many people in the tribe who want to replace him...

Whether it's for the higher position, or to restore the "business" in Baiyuan City... Root has become a member of the tribe's interests.

Several tribal guards nodded silently before joining the pursuit force.

At the same time, the messenger sent by the backer behind Root also rushed over.

He also settled in the castle tonight, and was awakened when the accident happened, but there was no time to support him.

At this time, seeing the current situation~IndoMTL.com~, the messenger's face changed drastically, and the whole person was in a mess.

Someone really attacked the lord, did they succeed? !

The identity of the perpetrator is a mystery, what is the origin? what purpose?

Lute knew the overall plan, if it was revealed by torture, wouldn't it implicate the adults, and the plan behind it would be at risk of being exposed? !

The messenger's heart was full of turmoil, and he turned his head and left.

He looked determined. Prepare to rush back to the capital all night.

We must immediately report the changes here to the adults!

Whether the thief is intentional or unintentional, the master's overall plan must be adjusted!

The messenger gritted his teeth and cursed secretly.

Root...why didn't this scumbag kill himself earlier? !
