Chapter 508 - 476: Infiltrating Layer by Layer_2
At this moment, Da Fei reached the entrance to the lower level, where the door was still guarded by a long line of Fire Elements and Earth Elements.
Da Fei was dumbfounded! Damn it, the beer trick doesn’t work here! What now? Go over and negotiate directly? That’s a death wish, isn’t it?
Damn it, Shadow Bro, why didn’t you tell me there’s another setup here? If I can’t even get past this level, won’t I be the biggest joke? What to do? Do I really have to step up and negotiate?
Just as Da Fei was pondering, a giant speaker sounded throughout the Underground Space:
"——Attention all prison supervisors! Upper management has issued an emergency order: from now on, we must strengthen patrol vigilance, upgrade the patrol level to A-grade. All departments must meticulously monitor and prevent any suspicious persons from entering or any prisoners from escaping. Any department that encounters a problem will face demotion and have their year-round bonus docked, along with a ban on drinking for a year. Departments actively on duty will receive extra bonuses and a case of top-tier wines from the Alliance..."
As soon as the voice finished, a sharp and piercing alarm rang throughout the prison.
Da Fei was shocked on the spot. What the hell? As soon as I arrived, the alert level was upgraded? Could it be a coincidence? Or did my action plan leak, attracting the attention of the Prince? Is this the so-called unplanned variable?
And just at this moment, a torrent rolled through the Magma Pool, and a dozen giant Fire Elements surged out!
Damn it! Da Fei was frustrated to the core! I already had no options, and now they’re suddenly beefing up Defense, do I even stand a chance? What now? If I fail, not only will my chance with the beautiful Dark Elf slip through my fingers, but the Prince will also look down on me! My tavern won’t open for easy money, and there probably won’t be any significant progress on Fire Dragon Island in the future.
In his anxiety, Da Fei scanned the room, and his eyes were suddenly drawn to a Turtle Shell Giant Beast in a cage! Da Fei’s brow twitched, he recognized it, it was in the official documents, a super-strong giant beast from the New World that feasts on Crystal Ore, specifically attacking players’ Crystal Ores!
If it’s this one—Da Fei immediately pulled out the mission item "Universal Key."
——Universal Key: Mission item, comes with the skill "Lock Opening Skill," a key specially designed and manufactured for the cells of the Dwarf Prison, with a very high success rate for opening locks.
That’s it! Since you all are afraid of prisoners escaping, I’ll let a prisoner run to show you, and as soon as chaos ensues, I’ll have a chance to sneak into the lower layer. Plus, the rolling heat waves on the fourth level obscure vision, which is beneficial for Stealth and lock-picking.
So without further ado, Da Fei arrived in front of the huge cage holding the Red Giant Beast. The cage had two doors, one small for jailers to come and go, and naturally, a big one for the giant beast to enter, much like the elephant cages in zoos. Simultaneously, the giant beast’s limbs were also shackled with thick chain cuffs, meaning opening the two doors wasn’t enough, I’d have to go in and unlock all four of the shackles’ locks, right? Isn’t that just asking for it? After all, it’s a red-named monster!
Da Fei hesitated for a moment, should he switch to another one?
Looking around, all he saw was a bunch of oddly shaped, subpar creatures, none of which could compare to this giant beast’s imposing and fierce presence!
But this giant beast was sleeping now, looking half-dead, which should be alright, right? However, even if it was half-dead, what use would it be if it escaped?
Seeing the elemental patrol’s search range getting closer, and his own Stamina continuously dropping, Da Fei steeled his resolve to gamble! One only lives a few times in life!
With the key inserted into the lock, the unlocking progress bar quickly advanced, making Da Fei secretly excited. The speed was far smoother than when he was competing to open the sewer lock!
——Click! With a crisp sound, the small door lock was open!
Oh yeah! This was the triumph of my God-level Reconnaissance Technique plus the mission item! And right at this moment, the patrol approached.
Hell, you guys are something! I’ll lock myself in with the beast, you shouldn’t mind, right?
Da Fei slipped into the cage, quietly closed the door behind, then quickly hid under the giant beast’s sturdy legs, just as the red light warning from the Reconnaissance Skill exploded into a full-dimensional stereo challenge smelly enough to test me to the fullest!
The Fire Element patrol passed by the cage, perhaps sensing Da Fei’s presence, or maybe this giant beast was already under special supervision. In any case, the patrol lingered outside the cage for a long time. At this moment, Da Fei, caught in internal and external peril, was so anxious that he was about to burst!
Fortunately, they didn’t find anything, and the patrol moved on.
Da Fei breathed a long sigh of relief and immediately began unlocking the giant beast’s shackles, which cooperated very well by remaining motionless.
When all four shackles were opened, Da Fei’s back was soaked in sweat! Damn it, scared me to death! But it wasn’t over yet, with one final effort, he unlocked the big door—mission accomplished!
Just—
"Hey hey! Time to wake up man! The door’s open, dude!"
Now, staring at the still half-dead giant beast, Da Fei was dumbfounded! No way? Is it really gonna be like this? If the patrol comes back, it’ll all have been for nothing! What’s the plan? Kick it once? Damn! This is a red-named giant beast, even touching it would count as initiating an Attack!
Could it be that it’s starving to the point of losing strength, and too hot to have any Stamina left? As a last resort, Da Fei placed a roasted piglet and a few bottles of wine under its barely breathing snout, thinking that if this didn’t work—fine, I give up!
Damn it! Forget giving up! Why should I hang myself on this one tree? There are giant beasts imprisoned all around here. If this doesn’t work, I’ll just try elsewhere! They’ve already upgraded the alert across the board; even if I sneak into the lower level, it’s bound to be more challenging, so I might as well go all out and unleash havoc by releasing as many beasts as possible to create a total mess.
Yes! After all, the Prince’s intention wasn’t to rescue any female clan leader, but to mess with the Prince. As long as I stir up enough chaos here, it will still achieve the Second Prince’s goal, and even if I don’t rescue the female clan leader, it won’t be a complete waste.
Thinking this, Da Fei couldn’t help but let out a long sigh! The female clan leader I’ve thought about day and night for a month, with allure not inferior to a Banshee! Ah! Let’s try to win her still.
No time to waste, with the patrol just passing, Da Fei immediately headed to the neighboring cage, and without further ado, began unlocking it!
