From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 285 - 232 Black Stone City_2
When they looked at the model, because Stone City on the model was relatively small, they only felt the structure of Stone City was very magical.
Observing the real Black Stone City from the perspective of a Chongming Bird, one would feel the grandeur of this Stone City.
It was a city that merged with the entire mountain, truly a miraculous piece of architecture from Black Iron Dwarf civilization.
Seeing this city, it became clear why the Darkville Black Iron Tribe was showing signs of resurgence.
This was a stronghold that could be recorded in the annals of Black Iron Dwarf civilization, painstakingly built bit by bit by the Darkville Black Iron Tribe over a century.
Such a divine and ingeniously crafted city was now occupied by Bloodline Demons.
It had to be said that the fate of the Black Iron Dwarfs was indeed fraught with hardship.
Su Muyu observed both the model and the real Black Stone City, pointing out a few differences:
"Here, this opening has been blocked, so it should be difficult to enter Black Stone City from above."
Darkville explained, "This was blocked by Bloodline Demons two years ago, it was from here that I entered the Black Stone Mine two years ago, then dug through the mine, and got into Black Stone City."
Lu Heng looked at every detail of Black Stone City, then closed his eyes and replayed the structure of Black Stone City in his mind, imagining himself passing through various passages in the city.
After repeating the process twice, he was certain he had memorized all the passages.
Lu Heng stood up straight and said, "Darkville Leader, I need a few drops of Black Iron Dwarf’s fresh blood. Bloodline Demons are quite bloodthirsty, and without a hint of blood scent, it’s easy to be suspected."
"Indeed, to conceal your identity, you definitely need the smell of blood," Darkville agreed.
A trusted aide from the Black Iron Tribe stepped forward, extended his arm, and said, "Use my blood."
Darkville stopped him with a raised hand and drew a knife across his arm, saying, "Since it’s to retrieve my father’s ashes, it should be my blood."
Lu Heng took a piece of cloth, soaked up a few drops of his blood, then folded it and stuffed it into his pocket.
Bloodline Demons prefer to drink fresh blood, not smear it on their bodies, and since they have an incredibly sensitive sense of smell for blood, just a few drops were enough.
After everything was ready, the sun gradually sank below the horizon.
Night was when the Bloodline Demons were most active. Lu Heng needed to enter Black Stone City under the cover of darkness.
After sunset, Lu Heng emerged from the military hall, ready to depart.
In the square outside the military hall, a group of Black Iron Dwarfs was surrounding the Mechanical Tiger Anka, sparring with it.
These Black Iron Dwarfs had never seen such an extraordinary "creature" before – built as if from metal, yet not just a lump of iron.
Roar!
The Mechanical Tiger extended its paw towards the nearest Black Iron Dwarf and smacked the dwarf, sending him rolling away.
The Black Iron Dwarf quickly got up, laughed heartily, and ran back to continue the spar with the Mechanical Tiger, finding this way of sparring very interesting.
Lu Heng called the Mechanical Tiger back with a wave, said farewell to Darkville, and set off.
Su Muyu and Lin Zeyu followed him out from Dili Castle, discussing the next steps.
"Do you need me to go in with you?" After serious consideration, Su Muyu thought that because Black Stone City was large, she could infiltrate some remote parts of the city using her Invisibility superpower.
"Let’s not, if needed, just send a Chongming Bird to assist me," Lu Heng, after serious consideration, decided to go in alone. freёnovelkiss.com
"Then be careful," Su Muyu pursed her lips, her concern written all over her face.
Lu Heng pondered for a moment and said, "Stay at Dili Castle, be careful. The Black Iron Dwarfs won’t trouble you for now, but other humans are the variable. Be wary of the two teams we’ve encountered; they think differently from us."
Su Muyu nodded and replied, "Understood, I know."
Lin Zeyu, carrying a sniper rifle, said, "I think we can just take them out directly, it would save a lot of trouble."
"Forget it, our principle is not to fire the first shot."
Fighting among themselves on the Abyss Battlefield was not wise.
If humans began fighting each other after each transmission to the Abyss Battlefield, human casualties would occur with each conscription.
Human civilization wouldn’t last long under the onslaught of the Abyss.
Lu Heng had witnessed the calamity of human civilization in the late stages of an Abyss invasion, so he hoped that in this life, humanity could tread a different path and find a way to resist the Abyss.
Since the transmission, Su Muyu had been worrying about one issue, "What about the traitor? One of the challenge tasks is to eliminate a traitor, does this indicate that among the conscripted superpower users this time there is a traitor?"
The first challenge task was:
[1. Find the fallen traitor, eliminate the traitor.]
Lu Heng had also been paying attention to this issue and nodded, "Yes, among the superpower users conscripted this time, there is a traitor. This we can be sure of."
Lin Zeyu asked with curiosity, "If there is a traitor, why doesn’t the Main God simply erase him directly, knowing that a traitor exists?"
Lu Heng glanced at him and reminded, "If the one who conscripted us is the Main God, then what does the existence that issued the Traitor Task consider? The Abyss’s Main God?
"If indeed a Main God exists, it would be a game between the two Main Gods.
"If our Main God could erase a traitor, couldn’t the Abyss’s Main God erase us as well?
"If the Main God truly had the power to erase any target, then our efforts would be meaningless."
