Chapter 974: 974
When Neltharion finally determined the location where Jin Xinyue was hiding, Li Yao secretly cursed and spat on the wall hard .
It was a large military camp .
The military camp, which covered over five square kilometers, was established in an empty area in the middle of the debris . There was also an open field with a span of more than one kilometer where there were absolutely no shelters or obstacles .
The military camp was surrounded by iron gauze and shrilling thorns . Should anything get too close, the shrilling thorns would utter earsplitting noises .
A watch tower that was equipped with acid cannons had been established every hundred meters . Crouching inside the tower were the soldiers of the Feather Clan with keen sight who could distinguish a rabbit on the ground easily from the sky .
The watch towers were in a neat distribution and covered each other well . There was not a single blind angle .
Each of the four corners of the military camp was guarded by a patrolling team made of the Death Sickle Tarantula, which were more vigilant than the smartest hounds . They were patrolling day and night and eyeing anyone coming in and out of the military camp suspiciously .
An even larger number of more terrifying demon beasts were kept in the northwest corner of the military camp, ready for battle at any time .
What was more critical was that a 'Ghost Eye'-level devilish warship was docked in the sky of the military camp .
Such a warship, which was more than a thousand meters long, was produced by the Sea Clan through combining and refining the genes of whale-type demon beasts and squid-type demon beasts .
The squid-type demon beasts boasted the most precise eyeball system in the world . There were more photoreceptor cells inside their eyeballs than there were in the eyes of Cultivators . Therefore, 'Ghost Eye'-level devilish warship was best known for their scouting ability . It was now floating three hundred meters above the military camp and monitoring every corner from the high stance!
Li Yao bit his tongue hard . He had no idea why Jin Xinyue would be hiding in such a heavily guarded military camp .
What was even odder was the reason for the thorough defense of the military camp . Void Turmoil City had been completely demolished without the ability for any counterattack .
Neltharion drew slightly closer and observed the focal length of the crystal cameras . Finally, he noticed something wrong .
Most of the soldiers gathered in the military camp were not the regular army . Judging from their messy clothes and their ignorant expression, they should be the civilians of Void Turmoil City . Some of them were even chaotic-blood demons .
Under the shouting and abuse of the tutors of the coalition army, they were undergoing high-intensity training right now .
This place was more like a concentration camp or a transfer station of captives than a military camp . The captives would be transported to somewhere else after they were grouped and trained a little bit .
Li Yao recalled the scenes that Neltharion had captured on the way . The coalition army of demons were collecting tremendous resources from every part of Void Turmoil City, including crystals, strengthening drugs, and seeds of the demonic plants, and constantly shipping them to the outside world .
The coalition army of demons is draining the place . They are going to destroy Void Turmoil City and move away all the population and resources!
Damn . They are now looting all the assets of war for the great war to come, and the civilians here will become cannon fodder!
The demon emperors of the Pantheon of Demons have indeed gone mad . They are planning to take their chances and wage a national war before the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Flying Star Sector are fully linked!
Li Yao suddenly realized what was going on .
Void Turmoil City was a metropolis with a population of more than one million . The migration of a million demons was certainly not an easy task . Therefore, a lot of regrouping camps had been established in the city . The captives would receive preliminary training in the camps before they were moved away in different batches .
The question remained, how was he going to sneak in?
Li Yao pondered for a moment . Splitting his attention apart, he maneuvered Neltharion to approach the military camp slowly to observe every guard inside the camp and their possible reinforcements . As he did that, he summoned the drill of mystic rays and started digging a hole in the secret tunnel .
The drill of mystic rays, after a full upgrade, now boasted three acid bags . Before the mystic rays shot out, a huge amount of highly-corrosive acids would be released .
Corrosion before digging significantly improved the efficiency of drilling .
Very soon, Li Yao dug the hole to a place two to three kilometers away from the military camp . Then, he extended three tunnels to the east, west, and south . He stopped digging when he was one meter from the ground and planted a special sensor chip and a lot of crystal bombs in the tunnels .
As a result, there was no anomaly on the ground . But through the crystal processor of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, he would sense the three chips very clearly . The three tunnels would be his routes of retreat .
If he was left with no choice, he could bring Jin Xinyue to the top of one of the three tunnels and blow through the one-meter-thick soil with the Cell Obliteration Cannon . After they snuck into the underground, he would detonate the crystal bombs and block the hunters .
However, that was only a last resort .
At least a hundred thousand soldiers of the coalition army of demons were stationed in Void Turmoil City right now . Should there be a massive explosion, they would certainly detect it and start a large-scale search .
More importantly, the Sea Clan would certainly increase their wariness and block the ocean completely . Even in the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, Li Yao was not confident that he could compete with the Sea Clan in terms of speed in the depths of the ocean .
He had no interest of fighting an army of a hundred thousand soldiers on his own . It would be best if he could achieve his purpose without alarming anyone .
When the three tunnels were all dug through, Neltharion had already snuck into the military camp and found rows of tents that were temporarily established .
Jin Xinyue was in one of the tents!
Excellent!
