Chapter 2517: Chapter 2507 Tian Wu
The soldiers by the side also relaxed, only occasionally urging them to move quickly, losing the initial vigilance.
“Kid, are you a rcenary?”
The young man kept his head down, walking silently. A middle-aged man in shackles moved to Long Yan’s side. Although the soldiers saw it, they didn’t intervene, just letting him speak to the boy.
“Yes.”
The young man was naturally Long Yan. This act was a performance staged together by Long Yan and Chu ng, among others. To make it convincing, Long Yan even stabbed his shoulder with a sword, making the character of the injured rcenary even more convincing.
Initially, Long Yan hadn’t thought about infiltrating the group of test subjects. He simply wanted to find an opportunity to enter the interior of the black-clothed n, but Zhou Tian’s words sparked a bit of inspiration for Long Yan.
It was sure that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and the Mayor’s experints required test subjects, so how were those large groups of test subjects sourced? Indeed, after observing for several days, Long Yan discovered that Luo Ye would lead over a hundred people into the mountains every month, but not through the usual rcenary routes; instead, they took a side route into the mountains with about one hundred fifty people each ti.
Upon learning this information, an escape plan instantly ford in Long Yan’s mind. Most of these people were rcenaries, and there were even quite a few foreign rchants, elderly people abducted after their sons died in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, ranging from teenagers to several dozen years old.
Long Yan glanced at the man speaking to him. Although the man wore a set of ragged clothes, he was clean, despite having slightly ssy hair and beard.
“It’s true, who are these people? Why are they capturing ? I haven’t committed any cri.”
After hearing Long Yan’s words, the middle-aged man sighed deeply, looked at the sky with a lancholy expression, and said,
“Unfortunate tis.”
“These people are taking us to that stronghold to conduct so secret experints. Specifically, I don’t know, but I just know that no one could survive. Many people were sent in before us, but none survived, these damned ones.”
The middle-aged man truly looked like soone dissatisfied, except his eyes occasionally glanced at Long Yan, the latter pretending a face of resentnt, which cald the man slightly, who then pointed to himself, saying,
“My na is Tian Wu, not a rcenary, just a resident of that small town. I was abducted while going out to buy sothing.”
Tian Wu looked at Long Yan’s expression as he introduced himself, but Long Yan only let out a cold laugh in his heart, estimating that Tian Wu was probably a pawn placed by those people among the group.
Indeed, when Tian Wu approached Long Yan, the two soldiers beside deliberately moved away from Long Yan. They had been very cautious in guarding Long Yan, yet retreated when Tian Wu approached.
Tian Wu also felt sothing strange inside, wondering why this kid seed different. Weren’t those people crying for help and escape? Hence, Tian Wu planned to probe Long Yan’s intentions.
“Young brother, what’s your na? Don’t you have any thoughts?”
Long Yan raised his head, his golden eyes not blinking, stared at Tian Wu, making the latter sweat profusely.
“I’m called Heavenly Punishnt. What other thoughts would I have?”
Tian Wu woke from his fear, secretly cursing himself for recoiling, almost scared by the young man, so he tentatively said,
“No plans to escape or anything? Look, they dare to capture people, but only dare to do it sneakily. As long as you run to the small town, that ans you’re safe.”
Tian Wu spoke to Long Yan like an inducent, but Long Yan’s face remained expressionless.
“But this is the middle part of the Demon Beast Mountain Range; how can you escape with shackles?”
Long Yan smirked coldly in his heart. If I ran, the group of black-clothed n hidden around would probably chop into bits. But now that Long Yan’s strength was intact, there was nothing to fear.
“Ah, brother, you’re clueless. Once we’re in the stronghold, they’ll arrange a cell for us. Even underground, we have ways to escape.”
Tian Wu patted his chest, seemingly convincing, saying.
“Trust your brother, when we’re in the cell, I’ll take you out.”
“Why do you want to bring along?”
Long Yan showed a wary expression. Tian Wu simply smiled slightly, then continued,
“Look at them, resigned to their fate. How could they have the courage to escape with us? Plus, I need soone to help . If we succeed, escaping here won’t be a problem.”
Long Yan pretended to ponder, then nodded. He wanted to see what Tian Wu was up to. Tian Wu grinned, then stopped talking.
Very quickly, a small house appeared in everyone’s view, looking like a thatched cottage, but Long Yan keenly felt the surrounding black-clothed n were entirely different from before. Previously, sentries were watching every few steps, but now there were dense hidden black-clothed n all around, at least two hundred.
Long Yan observed quietly; it seed Luo Xiang had placed all his private troops here.
He saw Luo Ye skillfully open a hidden door, revealing a wide passage leading underground, which seed to be their stronghold.
Two black-clothed n erged from underground, and Luo Ye, still seemingly arrogant, didn’t speak to the two black-clothed n, who didn’t mind and split into two sides, observing the numbers in the group.
But just when Long Yan was about to pass by the two black-clothed n, the one on the right spoke.
“No, why is your clothing different from others?”
The black-clothed man asked, drawing his long knife from his waist, looked at Long Yan with a vigilant expression, only to see Luo Ye hurriedly rushing over, scolding the black-clothed man.
“Are you seeking death? I barely found soone for this, and if you keep talking, I’ll use you to fill the numbers!”
Seeing Luo Ye’s expression, the black-clothed man naturally didn’t dare to speak further. They were rely the Mayor’s thugs, couldn’t afford to offend the person in front, and could only let Long Yan pass, saying nothing more.
After entering the stronghold, Luo Ye disappeared, leaving them locked up in groups of five in a prison where there were quite a few others, indicating not all needed to die before sending new test subjects. When few remained, they would supplent, and Long Yan happened to have good luck.
After entering the prison, clothing was distributed specifically to this group of slave-like people, much cleaner than the previous clothes, only Long Yan’s rcenary armor was confiscated, then they were escorted to the cell inside.
