"Brother Feng Ya, where are we going next?" Xi Wan was still a little at a loss when Situ Feng Ya took her out of the tavern without saying a word. She was just drinking juice and didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation.
"Let's go to the palace to explore the way today, so that we can save some time when we officially start tomorrow." Situ Fengya rubbed Xiwan's head. If it weren't for the fact that he, a human, was too conspicuous walking in the imperial city, , he would not let Xiwan get involved in these things.
"Okay, I will go wherever Brother Feng Ya goes." Xiwan didn't think too much about it. She knew very well that Situ Fengya would not do anything that would hurt him, and she also hoped to help Situ Fengya share some of the pressure. .
It was still daytime, and there were no less than Tu's guards patrolling the streets. No matter how powerful Situ Fengya's stealth skills were, he would never be able to sneak into the palace without alerting Tu's guards, so he had to take the He walked around the city with Xiwan, waiting for the sunset to start.
After nightfall, Situ Fengya and Xi Wan approached the palace quietly. Compared to the daytime, there were many fewer guards at night, but Situ Fengya knew very well that even at night, it would be much more difficult to sneak into the palace than during the day. Where to go. Most of Yu Tu's personal guards are leopards and other spiritual beasts that like to travel at night. Although they can also move during the day, night is their real home. Situ Fengya must fight hard if he wants to sneak into the palace. Only the spirit can.
In order to sneak into the palace, Situ Fengya specially prepared night clothes for himself and Xiwan. Xiwan had never done such a thing before, but when the little girl heard his plan, her eyes suddenly lit up. She was obviously very interested in infiltrating.
In order to reduce the chance of exposure, Situ Fengya decided to split up with Xi Wan. He was to the south and Xi Wan was to the north, and he sneaked into the palace from different directions at the same time. Although Situ Fengya cannot contact Xi Wan, it does not mean that they cannot inform each other of their situation. If Xi is in danger or discovers the dungeon, he can directly return to the pet space. If Situ Fengya is discovered , you can actively recall Xi Wan, or teleport away directly, and Xi Wan will automatically return to the pet space because the distance is too far.
The infiltration work went much smoother than Situ Fengya imagined. Compared to the palace in the Cold Water Kingdom, the palace in the White Tiger Kingdom was more like a castle. There were guards patrolling the outer walls of the palace at regular intervals. However, what gave Situ Fengya a slight headache was that there were no windows or other things that could be climbed on the outer wall of the palace, so he had to climb to a high place first, and then enter the palace through space switching.
I don't know whether it's because tomorrow is the coronation ceremony or for some other reason, there are not many guards in the palace. Situ Fengya guessed that most of the guards should have been transferred to the White Tiger Palace on the top of the Thunder Mountain to be responsible for preparing for tomorrow's coronation ceremony, leaving only Xiao Xiao. Some of the guards oversee the imprisoned soldiers as well as the White Tiger's power.
However, it didn't take long for Situ Fengya to realize that he had oversimplified the idea of infiltrating. The guards of the palace were all spirit beasts, and they were all powerful spirit beasts. Their sense of smell and hearing were stronger than those of humans. too much. If it were in real life, as long as Situ Fengya hid in the grass and made no sound, basically no one would notice him. But now, he has ignored an extremely important thing, and that is his smell.
"Whoa, what's the smell? This smell is a bit strange." A black panther spiritual beast stood not far from the bushes where Situ Fengya was hiding, and kept twitching its nose. The next second it turned around and hid towards Situ Fengya. He walked over and said, "This smell seems to be coming from here."
The guard followed the smell and came to the grass where Situ Fengya was hiding. Just as he was about to go into the grass to check, Situ Fengya suddenly emerged from the grass. He covered the guard's mouth with one hand and held a hand with the other hand. Slit the guard's throat with a dagger. After confirming that the guard was dead, Situ Fengya dragged the guard's body into the grass, and then began to examine the body to see if he could find anything useful.
What Situ Fengya didn't expect was that the armor on the guard actually fell off as equipment. In addition, tokens that could prove the identity of the guards also exploded. When Situ Fengya put the armor and tokens into his backpack, The armor of the corpse also disappeared, but fortunately, the humanoid spirit beast would automatically change its original shape after being killed, so Situ Fengya didn't see anything eye-catching. Situ Fengya originally wanted to leave like this. The corpse would be refreshed after a while, and he didn't need to worry about being exposed. However, he changed his mind and threw a collection technique at the corpse with the intention of giving it a try, and then he had more in his hands. A handful of black panther hair.
Generally, if you want to obtain something from a spirit beast, you have to use the dissection technique, because if you use the collection technique, you will most likely collect some strange things, such as the hair or teeth of the spirit beast, and now, these things are exactly What Situ Fengya needs, who knows whether there will be a fierce battle tomorrow, so fighting should be avoided if possible.
When Situ Fengya had almost shaved off the black panther's fur, it was time to refresh the body. With these things, combined with the armor and the token, Situ Fengya was sure that he could save a lot of effort tomorrow.
So the next task is to find the location of the dungeon. According to the tavern owner, the dungeon should be located to the west of the palace. Having just plucked the black panther's hair for a long time, Situ Fengya's body was stained with the scent of a lot of beasts. In this way, the guards could no longer detect him through the smell, so Situ Fengya quickly found the location of the dungeon.
The dungeon is located at the corner of the city wall, behind a huge stone. When Situ Fengya arrived, Xi Wan had been waiting here for a long time. Xiwan is a cat, so she is naturally good at moving at night. In addition, she is much stronger than the palace guards. There is not much difference between entering the palace and following her own backyard.
Xiwan told Situ Fengya that she quickly found the dungeon after sneaking into the palace, but when she saw that Situ Fengya had not arrived for a long time and did not call her back, she took the opportunity to find the room where the tiger's power was stored. .
Xiwan told Situ Fengya that she originally wanted to go to the south of the palace to meet him, but when she passed by the main hall, she felt an unusually powerful force. In order to prepare for tomorrow's coronation ceremony, Yu Tu had already gone to the top of the Thunder Mountain, so this force The powerful power can only be the power of the tiger who was sealed in the palace by Yu Tu. Thinking of this, Xi Wan immediately stepped forward to check. After circling the main hall three times, Xi Wan finally concluded that this powerful force originated from the underground.
Hearing this, Situ Fengya couldn't help but rubbed Xiwan's head and pinched her cheek. At first, he just wanted to find the location of the dungeon. As for the place where the tiger's power is hidden, he will wait for tomorrow. After luring all the guards away, he searched slowly. Unexpectedly, Xiwan's unexpected discovery helped him solve another problem. In this way, after luring all the guards away tomorrow, he can directly take the tiger back to the palace. .
The dungeon and the location of the tiger's power have been known, and there is no need for them to stay here. Xiwan refused to return to the pet space. She ran to Situ Fengya and hugged his arm. Situ Fengya smiled helplessly, He activated the space transfer and returned to the broken house where the tiger was hiding.
"You're back?" Tiger Tiger, who had closed her eyes to rest, opened her eyes and stood up. Although her strength has not yet recovered, it is not so bad that she doesn't even know that two living people have appeared in front of her. "How is it?" , what’s the gain?”
"We have gained a lot, just wait until tomorrow." Situ Fengya held Xi Wan in his arms, who had turned into a cat. While stroking Xi Wan's back, he told the tiger the news they had found out today. At the same time, Situ Fengya He also put forward his own plan, "...The situation in the palace is probably like this. This is what I think. When Rebbe sends a signal tomorrow, I will sneak into the palace, and while the resistance forces are fighting with Yu Tu's personal guards, I will release those who were detained." The imprisoned soldiers can support the resistance forces in the central square after the palace guards are eliminated. At this time, I will go directly to the main hall. After I find your strength, I will come back to pick you up. Although it will be a bit troublesome, but this This is the most solid plan I can think of right now.”
"Okay, I'll do what you said." The plan proposed by Situ Fengya can reduce the sacrifices of the rebels, not to mention that the tiger, who has no power, can't come up with a better plan than this. "Since In this case, you should go back first and have a good sleep to recuperate your energy. If nothing else happens, the decisive battle should be tomorrow."
"Yes, tomorrow should be the decisive battle." Situ Fengya nodded. He sent Xiwan back to the pet space, then took a step forward and came to the tiger, "Sister Tiger, tomorrow..." Situ Fengya said He suddenly got stuck in the middle. At that moment, he suddenly had a bad premonition. He always felt that although things would develop as he planned tomorrow, the final result would not be what he wanted.
"What's wrong?" Tiger tilted her head slightly, feeling a little confused. It was still unknown whether she would live or die in the battle tomorrow. Even she was not in the mood to tease Situ Fengya anymore.
"It's okay, sweet dream." Situ Fengya rubbed his nose, hoping that he was just unfounded.
"Well, you too." Tiger smiled reluctantly. After watching Situ Fengya off the assembly line, Tiger lay back on the straw mat, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't convince herself to fall asleep.
The same situation happened to Situ Fengya. When everyone fell asleep, he was lying on the bed tossing and turning.
"Go get some air." Situ Fengya stopped struggling. He got up and got out of bed, changed his clothes and climbed up to the roof. Even though it was June, the night was still a bit cool. Situ Fengya was wearing a windbreaker and sitting on the roof watching the stars.
After an unknown amount of time, Situ Fengya finally felt sleepy. He yawned and returned to the house. At this time, a touch of orange appeared on the horizon, filling the dark sky with a different color.
