236. Here I am!
When Xia Yi and others arrived at the Holy Mountain of the Blood Clan, it was almost dawn.
"We can't delay any longer, we must succeed today!" After the old man finished speaking, he was the first to rush into the temple.
The human traitors in the Vampire City are no more than marginal nobles at best. Helping them open the door to the temple is the limit, and the rest is up to them.
The temple is only slightly smaller than the palace, and the terrain is complex. Even the bats working inside do not know the layout of the temple.
The human side also had no information about the temple. Everyone gathered in the storage room next to the door and looked at the old man who led the team.
The old man's gaze swept across the faces of the five team members, and he said in an old but energetic voice: "Everyone, the future of mankind depends on you."
The four members except Xia Yi cheered up.
"Group of two, spread out to search and contact via radio!" The old man waved his hand and took the lead in walking out of the storage room with his secretary.
Wei Yishan pulled Xia Yi and followed the old man.
At the first fork in the road, the old man went to the left, while Xia Yi and Wei Yishan went to the right.
"Let's separate too." Xia Yi said to Wei Yishan.
The other party didn't think much and agreed to Xia Yi's decision. The old man asked the two to move in groups to take care of each other, but with his experience and Xia Yi's strength, there was no need for care.
Xia Yi moved forward. There were very few bats in the temple. As long as he was a little careful, he could avoid them. He entered a room without bats and pulled out a small fur ball from the shadow.
For this kind of job of finding people in complex terrain, it is most convenient to use a small fur ball that can shuttle around.
The little fur ball received the order and started to act.
Xia Yi stayed in this room, waiting for the little fur ball to return. Without the little fur ball, he was almost an ordinary person. It was too dangerous outside. If he went out, it would hinder the little fur ball.
While waiting, he looked at the room. The room was not big, and most of the space was taken up by rows of cabinets. The cabinets all had locks on them, and he didn't know what was locked.
There was a door at the end of the room. Before leaving, Little Furball opened all the doors. Xia Yi opened the door and there was a large safe.
The safe has an electronic lock, and the little furball couldn't unlock it, so I didn't open it.
Xia Yi estimated the size of the safe and found that it could not fit even one Lilith, so he lost interest in the box.
He was about to go out when he suddenly heard something moving outside.
Those were the sounds of two footsteps.
Xia Yi looked for the crack in the door and wanted to peek, but the quality of the door was so good that it fit tightly with the door frame without any gaps.
There are many cabinets outside the door, which can hide his figure, and using the power of space to temporarily hide his figure, he can open the door and go out to take a look.
But he didn't know who the two bats were, so it wasn't worth the risk for him.
At this time, voices came from outside the door. Xia Yi put his ear against the door and could barely distinguish it.
That was the voice of an old lady.
"... It's your mother's relic. She is not as smart as you. She didn't notice the abnormality in the ritual at all, so she fell into the trap easily."
Relic? Recruited in ritual?
Xia Yi instantly thought of his Lilith. He pressed the door handle carefully. The door was of good quality and made no sound.
He covered his body with the power of space to block the vampire's detection, and walked out of the door.
Hiding behind a cabinet, he saw the backs of two figures who had taken something and were going out.
One is an unknown old lady, and the other is his Lilith!
Although he didn't see his face, Xia Yi, who was experienced in the back, recognized him immediately.
The two figures walked out of the room and went to the left.
Xia Yi hesitated for a second and followed.
I don’t know when the little fur ball will come back. If I don’t follow him now, I might not find him later!
Although there are many forks in the corridors of the temple, they are not complicated. There are basically three forks. Xia Yi can barely keep up with the tracking methods he learned from film and television works.
The more they followed the two of them, the more guards started to appear. Fortunately, the guards probably didn't expect anyone to follow them and didn't pay attention at all.
Arriving at another fork in the road, Xia Yi saw a heavily guarded room.
There were too many guards and there was a door blocking it, so there was no way Xia Yi could sneak in.
Just when he was anxious, the old lady turned around and entered another fork in the road.
There are far fewer guards in this fork.
Xia Yi followed him all the way to a room, thinking about how to get in.
The corridor was silent, and the wind blowing from nowhere passed by with heat.
A hand suddenly stretched out from the ground and grabbed Xia Yi's ankle.
Xia Yi was startled, and when he looked down, he saw that it was a little furball.
Came just in time!
Xia Yi pointed at the door and asked Little Furball to open it.
Little Furball went inside and took a look. This door looked ordinary on the surface, but its actual structure was more complicated than the previous ones. There was nothing she could do.
However, unlocking is not her specialty. What she is good at is sneaking in.
Grabbing Xia Yi's feet, the little fur ball dragged him into the shadow. In a moment, the two of them emerged from the shadow in the room.
After the little furball turned into a little girl, her abilities became stronger. Before, taking someone with her once would consume all her strength, but now she can be used regularly for short distances.
The room was very small, with bookshelves surrounding it. On the bookshelves were all kinds of vampire secrets. If Xia Yi hadn't seen the old lady and Lilith enter the room with his own eyes, he would have thought it was just a library.
"Look for the secret door." Xia Yi said to the little furball. There was no sign of Lilith or the old lady in the room.
The little fur ball sneaks into the ground and shuttles around the six sides of the house. The so-called secret door must be hidden in the six sides of the house.
But after the little furball emerged from the ground, he actually shook his head at Xia Yi.
"Is there no secret door?" Xia Yi glanced around in confusion.
The old lady and Lilith did not leave through the secret door but teleported away? Or did they not leave at all?
No, if he had not left, he must have been arrested by now. Did they teleport away?
Xia Yi's eyes stayed on the vents on the ceiling.
"Go." He pointed at the vent, and the little fur ball went inside to explore.
After more than ten seconds, the little furball came back and nodded.
The secret door is disguised as a vent.
The vents were narrow and Xia Yi couldn't enter. The old lady and Lilith probably passed through in the form of bats.
"Let's go." Xia Yi grabbed Little Furball's hand and felt excited. He had a feeling that the vent leading to was the old lady's destination, and he was about to see his Lily Tail.
The two of them sank into the shadows.
The vent first extended normally, connected with other vents, and then suddenly went downwards, straight into the ground. Soon, the little furball pulled Xia Yi and stepped onto the underground cave.
Is this the way to the Moon Pond? Xia Yi guessed that the Human Sky Pond is in the mountains, and the Blood Clan’s Moon Pond is probably also in the mountains.
The little fur ball rested for a while and continued traveling with Xia Yi.
They came to a large cave. There was a small palace standing in the cave. There were many bat guards outside the palace.
Sure enough, it leads to the Moon Pond!
Xia Yi thought of the fork in the road before. The road leading to the Moon Pond was not the most heavily guarded place in the temple, but a relatively ordinary place. These vampires were actually playing psychological warfare.
He carefully observed the bats outside the temple. The eyes of the bats were brighter than those of ordinary bats. They were probably some kind of detective secretaries, but no matter how good their secretaries were, they could not detect Xia Yi walking in the shadow.
Xia Yi entered the palace and poked his head out of the dark corner of a pool.
Chapter completed!
