Astral Apostle Chapter 57: Sneak and the butterfly effect

The layers of yellow clouds and the setting sun cast a layer of blood on Baiyuan City.

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

Zhou Jing hid in the corner of the house, looked at the lord's longhouse across the street, and roamed the windows of the castle.

He's been on the spot all day, and now has a rough idea of ​​what's going on around Root.

Because of the fright for half a year, Root has been staying in the castle. If he wants to kidnap him, he can only sneak in. He has arranged several guards in the castle for a long time, working in two shifts during the day and night, standing guard at the key roads of the castle. . In addition, he also deployed a new batch of alien blood guards to protect his safety.

On paper, the castle is heavily guarded and difficult to enter without a sound.

However, people tend to slack off... The garrison has lasted for half a year, and no danger has occurred. The guards have long since slackened. It is impossible to expect them to tighten their nerves for a long time.

In the past few months, there were people who were afraid that the world would not be in chaos, or were quite dissatisfied with Root, hoping that a hunter would follow Jason and assassinate Root.

However, Baiyuan City is now in depression, and a large number of hunters have left. Even civilians feel that there is no possibility of any more assassination incidents.

Tight on the outside and loose on the inside. That's how he judged the castle's defense.

"Wait until the middle of the night before starting." Zhou Jing was sure and disappeared around the corner of the house.

……

The night came as scheduled, and Baiyuan City gradually sank into sleep.

As time went on, the guards on guard at the gate also began to blatantly yawn and yawn from time to time.

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

Their mission is to monitor the outer walls of the castle, preventing people of extraordinary physical fitness from climbing the outer walls, sneaking into the castle through the windows, and ringing the bell immediately if they find it.

It's only been half a year, this post has long been slack, and it's a shame not to sleep directly.

"Tsk, the last time there was a riot with alien beasts, there were not enough hunters, so we had to use the army, and many people died. When there were enough hunters in the past, where would we need to work hard." One of the guards muttered dissatisfied.

Another guard shrugged: "Fortunately we were chosen to guard the castle, we don't have to fight with alien beasts, how safe it is here. I think Baiyuan City is almost over, save some more money here, and then go elsewhere Settle down in the town."

Although they are town guards, they are also dissatisfied with Root, just for life, complete loyalty does not exist.

At this moment, a figure seemed to pass by outside the curtain, flashing in the corner of their eyes.

The two turned their heads subconsciously, opened the curtains to find out, but found no one outside.

Just when the two of them thought that they had been up late for too long, they were wrong, when the door behind them was suddenly knocked.

"Duh duh."

The two instinctively turned their heads.

At this moment, a figure came in from the eaves above the window, and fell silently behind the two like a civet cat, with his hands sticking out like ghosts.

Clap! Snapped!

The mouth and nose of the two guards were covered, and they could not shout.

The irresistible force pulled them directly into someone's arms behind them, and then the arms around their necks tightened sharply.

The vision of the two fell into darkness and lost consciousness.

Zhou Jing stunned the two guards, placed them lightly on the ground, and then pulled out the latch, letting Ross, who was knocking mechanically outside, also enter the room.

"Change clothes."

Zhou Jing gave an order and changed into the guard's clothes.

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

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

So when he stepped on the spot during the day, Zhou Jing thought in a different position, thinking about how to take precautions with the lord's resources, and the final result was to rely on human surveillance... Under his intentional search, he found the surrounding area of ​​the castle during the day. A sentry that monitors the outer wall.

He has quietly settled all discovered external outposts so that the wall climbers are not easily discovered.

Zhou Jing and Ross quickly changed the guards' clothes, took off some of the armor leaves that were easy to rub, and then found a thick rope from the room to tie the two naked and unconscious guards together. The coarse cloth gagged. He is generally measured against ordinary people, but it is enough for two guards to sleep for a long time.

After finishing this, Zhou Jing took Ross around to the back of the castle, using the darkness to cover up, quietly swimming up the wall, with extremely agile movements.

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

He felt that since Root was guarding against hunters in the city, he probably wouldn't dare to continue living in his original place, maybe he had already moved to a room without a window, and the original lord's bedroom might have been turned into a vacant room or a bait.

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

The only one who hasn't slept is taking off his shoes and concentrating on picking his feet, sniffing his hands from time to time.

"It's delicious..."

The corners of Zhou Jing's eyes twitched, and he suddenly turned up to the roof with force. With a single sprint, he spanned a distance of several meters and threw himself in front of this person.

The guard had just sniffed his finger and was intoxicated, too late to react.

Only when he saw the figure, he was beaten with a knife by Zhou Jing, his eyes rolled and he passed out.

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

Zhou Jing made up his swords one by one, emptied the garrison force on the rooftop, leaving only one guard, vigorously shaking him to wake him up.

"Uh...change of guard?"

The guard opened his sleepy eyes and spoke subconsciously.

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

The guard glanced to the side and saw that all his companions fell unconscious on the ground, and suddenly 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 shook his head, daring not to resist, and told the information he knew as if he had poured beans into a bamboo tube.

That salary is not enough to support his loyalty.

Because he thinks Root has changed rooms, Zhou Jing needs to find out Root's location, and the guards stationed inside the castle should know.

The rooftop guard is on a rotational basis, and the guard does know how many floors Root currently lives on.

Listening to what he said, Root changed the room as expected, but it was still on the third floor. It was originally the servant's room, without windows, and it was changed into a new bedroom. In the original lord's bedroom, several alien-blooded guards lived.

In addition, every room with a window in the castle has a latch outside the door, which is locked from the outside. And the entire three-story window, the guards are the strictest.

"Looks like it's easier to get down from the inside of the castle than to dig in from the outside."

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

After dealing with the end of the hand, he took Ross down the stairs from the rooftop to the fourth floor and entered the castle.

The defenses on the fourth floor are not strict, and only occasionally can see guards patrolling or standing guard, all fishing.

Although he was dressed as a guard, it was used as insurance. Zhou Jing listened to his breath with his extraordinary senses, figured out the distribution of guard posts, and walked around as much as possible.

The two quickly came to the stairs to the third floor, which were guarded and could not be bypassed.

Zhou Jing pressed the round helmet and walked straight over with Ross, ready to deal with cross-examination or even attack.

However, the guard guarding the stairs only glanced at the two of them. Seeing that they were dressed as guards, they didn't care anymore. They chatted with themselves and let the two go downstairs.

Zhou Jing didn't look sideways, and walked with Ross, knowing it in his heart

Sure enough... the interior of the castle has been quite slack.

When I came to the third floor, there were many guards here. Zhou Jing circled around for a while, without disturbing others, and quickly found the target.

It was an inconspicuous location. The corridor extended out a narrow staircase leading down to the room. There were four guards standing guard at the entrance of the stairs, and there were two other people standing guard at the door, where Root lived. it's here.

"It seems that the guards with alien blood all live on this floor. There may also be guards with alien blood in Root's room. These people can't be led away, and it seems unlikely that they will not cause any movement at all... But they are here, as long as Approach Root, grab him and run without worrying about being discovered."

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

The four guards standing guard at the entrance of the stairs noticed the approach of the two, and their eyes fell on the two with scrutiny, trying to identify the two.

Zhou Jing quickly approached the four of them, and without waiting for the four of them to ask questions, he took the initiative to say:

"Carl called us over, it's time to change shifts."

“…Who is Carl?”

The four of them were stunned for a moment, and when they were about to say it, they got stuck in their interrogation, and subconsciously thought about whether there was someone named Carl among the people they knew.

At this moment, Zhou Jing violently attacked, moving like a rabbit!

He took advantage of the brief moment when the four of them were stunned, and his fists smashed out like sharp arrows, slamming into the chest and abdomen of the four of them one after another.

Bang bang bang!

Shen Hun's strength penetrated into the body, and the four people's bones were broken, and they fell to the ground screaming. The leather armor on the body had little protection against the amazing punching power.

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

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

The two men shouted for a while, and Ross, who was behind Zhou Jing, dashed forward, colliding like a bull.

Boom!

The two guards couldn't avoid it, but Ross was knocked back, and the back slapped on the door, making a muffled sound.

Ross kept walking, slamming against the door against the two of them.

Crack! ! spanstyle>valley/spanstyle>

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

Ross threw himself into the room, crushing two guards with broken bones.

A sudden loud noise woke the people in the room.

Root was frowning and had nightmares about playing Chasing Me and Slashing again with Jason, who had no chin.

Suddenly, the dream was shattered by a loud noise, and he suddenly opened his eyes. Before he woke up, he stared at the broken door with dazed eyes.

On the soft collapse on the other side of the room, a different-blood guard was resting here, protecting himself, and was also awakened at this time.

"Who!"

The alien-blooded guard shouted in anger, pulled out his long knife sharply, and attacked Ross, who was climbing up from the ground.

However, before the blade hit Ross, a figure suddenly appeared in the diagonal stab, and a side kick was as fast as lightning, almost making him unable to react.

Boom! !

The next moment, the foreign-blooded guard only felt severe pain in his side ribs, and the terrifying force seemed to break half of his ribs, and the whole person was kicked and flew out.

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

The whole person froze on the ground, gushing blood, struggling to get up.

Zhou Jing succeeded in one strike, without pausing, chasing after him was a straight kick that went straight to the head.

The bodyguard was so exhausted from the pain that he only had time to raise his hand to protect his face, his arm was immediately kicked, and his bones were instantly broken.

Boom!

A kick with explosive force like a cannon shot, directly across his arm, cracked his skull.

The back of the head slammed into the wall, smashing a pit and shaking out a circle of floating ash.

The Qi orifice of the alien-blooded guard bleeds and fell to the ground, unable to fight again.

Zhou Jing had no expression on his face, and then stepped on his foot again, breaking 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 bodyguard only has the level of one-time reinforcement, and his own foundation is excellent. The effect of secondary reinforcement is much higher than that of ordinary people. His physical quality is almost crushing, and the opponent is not his opponent at all.

A successful raid can instantly kill an enemy.

At the same time, the movement here also alerted the guards and alien-blooded guards on the entire floor.

"Ta Ta Ta..."

Messy footsteps sounded outside the door, approaching quickly, and soon the two of them would be blocked in this room,

Zhou Jing's complexion remained unchanged, and the mighty strength from the secondary enhancement of the [Tiger Courage] characteristic carried through his arms and slammed into the wall.

Boom!

The wall burst, the bricks flew, and the hole suddenly opened.

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

Although this room does not have a window to retreat to, breaking through the wall can still lead to the outside world. Before his extraordinary physical fitness, demolishing a house and breaking a wall was as easy as drinking water.

Root was too frightened to move on the bed.

In the blink of an eye, an alien blood warrior from a tribe was instantly killed by the enemy, and Root didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of being beaten to death by someone.

He was horrified. He didn't expect that after half a year, someone would follow Jason's example and attack him.

Haven't all the dissatisfied hunters gone, where is this rude man?

"Take him stunned." At this time, Zhou Jing didn't turn his head back.

When Ross heard this, he immediately bullied Root.

Root was frightened and could only save himself when he saw this. He wanted to delay the time, so he dared to speak:

"You... don't mess around, attacking the lord is a felony, don't take the road of crime..."

Hearing this, Zhou Jing turned his head, did not speak, and smiled playfully.

Previously, he fought against the alien-blooded guards, and his movements were so fast that Root couldn't see his face clearly. Only at this time did he take advantage of the moonlight to really see Zhou Jing's appearance.

At this moment,

There seems to be a big hand, grabbing Root's heart violently.

Boundless fear spreads from the bottom of my heart.

"Jay, Jason?!"

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

How is it possible, this man was killed by his own eyes!

Even if you don't die, your jaw can't grow back!

Ghost! Devil! Come to my life!

The nightmare that haunted me for half a year suddenly appeared in reality

Root opened his mouth in a daze, his mind went blank, and the ice cold penetrated his bones, leaving only an indescribable deep horror that almost suffocated him.

Clap!

Ross, regardless of his reaction, faithfully implemented Zhou Jing's orders, stunned Root directly, and then wrapped Root in a sheet, holding Root under his arm, like an expressionless flower thief.

"Go!"

Without a second, Zhou Jing greeted 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 away, the whole process takes less than ten seconds, and the efficiency is extremely high.

When the other blood guards and guards on the same floor arrived, they were faced with a messy room with nothing but an empty room, and a hole that was constantly flooded with cold wind.

"Oops, the lord was kidnapped!"

"Follow me now!"

Many alien-blooded guards were shocked and angry.

But when they turned to look at the body of their companion on the ground, the group was extremely afraid and did not dare to chase after them easily.

In such a short period of time, you can kill a foreign-blooded guard...Is this the level of three enhancements? !

When did such a powerful person come to Baiyuan City?

The lord is gone, the dragons are leaderless, and the many guards are at a loss, not knowing who to give orders.

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

"Immediately notify the city guards, search the city, and keep the city gates tightly guarded so no one can escape!"

This person is considered to be the small leader of the tribe's guards. The guards Root called from the tribe are basically under the command of this captain.

Seeing that someone stepped forward to preside over the overall situation, many guards quickly followed orders.

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

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

Hearing that, although many of the alien-blooded guards were afraid of the thief's skills, they became courageous in their activities together, and immediately jumped out of the hole, chasing Zhou Jing's trail.

The other tribal guards were about to move, but this man reached out to stop everyone, and whispered:

"Don't worry too much, the main thing is to protect yourself... It doesn't matter if Root can't save him."

The eyes of several tribal guards flashed, vaguely understanding something.

In the past six months, Root has been troubled by troubles, the sunset is in the west, but he is still occupying the position of the lord, and there are probably many people in the tribe who want to replace him...

Whether it's for the sake of superiority, or to restore the "business" of Baiyuan City... Root has become a member of the clan'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~IndoMTL.com~ was awakened when the accident happened, but it was too late to support.

Seeing the current situation at this time, the messenger's face changed dramatically, and the whole person was messy.

Someone really attacked the lord, but he still succeeded? !

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

Root knows the overall plan. If he is tortured and revealed, wouldn't it implicate the adults, and the plan behind him is at risk of exposure? !

The messenger turned his head and left.

He had a determined look on his face. Prepare to rush back to the capital overnight.

The changes here must be reported to the adults immediately!

Whether the thief intentionally or not, the whole plan of the adults must be adjusted!

The messenger gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly.

Root...why didn't this dude kill himself sooner? !
