Chapter 249 Sneaking into the Stronghold
Chapter 249 Sneaking into the Stronghold
After escaping the pursuit of the mysterious organization, Lin Feng and others returned to Xingchen City without stopping, carrying the important information obtained from the stronghold.
In the temporary command post in the city, everyone sat together with serious expressions.
Lin Feng frowned, his eyes fixed on the diary in his hand: "From this diary, it seems that the mysterious organization's pursuit of the artifact is nearing its end. If we don't take action, the consequences will be disastrous."
Wang Meng slammed his fist on the table, shaking the teacups so much that they jumped up. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's just charge back to that stronghold and wipe them out!"
Zhao Xue shook her head. "No, we just alerted them. They must have stepped up their defenses. A rash attack would only put us in a desperate situation."
Li San touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Perhaps we can find a way to sneak into the stronghold and secretly sabotage their plans."
Ling'er said timidly, "But sneaking into the base is too dangerous. What if we're discovered..."
Lin Feng raised his head and looked at everyone with a determined gaze: "No venture, no gain. We must take a risk."
After some discussion, everyone decided that Lin Feng, Zhao Xue and Li San would sneak into the stronghold, while Wang Meng and Ling'er would stay in the city in case of emergency.
As night fell, Lin Feng and others changed into black night clothes and quietly headed towards the stronghold.
Outside the stronghold, security was tight, and the number of patrolling guards had doubled compared to before.
"It seems that just as Zhao Xue expected, they have strengthened their defenses." Lin Feng said in a low voice.
Li San cast an invisibility spell: "Fortunately, I prepared this spell in advance. I hope it can help us sneak in smoothly."
Under the cover of invisibility magic, the three carefully avoided the patrolling guards and approached the wall of the stronghold.
"This wall is too high. How can we get in?" Zhao Xue asked softly.
Lin Feng looked around and found a big tree near the wall: "We can use that tree to climb up the wall."
The three of them quietly came to the big tree. Lin Feng climbed up the tree first, then carefully climbed up to the wall. He lowered a rope and pulled Zhao Xue and Li San up.
After entering the stronghold, they carefully moved through the shadows.
"Be careful, there are guards ahead." Lin Feng signaled everyone to stop.
I saw two guards standing at a corner, talking in low voices.
"Wait until they pass by before we take action," said Zhao Xue.
Just as the guard turned around, Lin Feng and others rushed over quickly, covered the guard's mouth, and dragged them into a dark corner.
"Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you." Lin Feng threatened in a low voice.
The guard nodded in horror.
"Tell me, where is your leader?" Zhao Xue asked.
The guard replied tremblingly, "In... in the innermost house."
Lin Feng knocked the guard unconscious and continued to move towards the leader's house.
On the way, they encountered various traps, but with the help of Li San's magic and Lin Feng's caution, they resolved them one by one.
Finally, they arrived at the chief's house.
"Let me go in and take a look first." Lin Feng gently pushed open the door and walked in carefully.
The room was empty, but there was a map on the table.
"This may be the location map of the artifact." Lin Feng said as he picked up the map.
At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door.
"Oh no, someone is coming." Zhao Xue said.
The three of them quickly hid behind the cabinet.
The door was pushed open and the leader of the mysterious organization walked in.
"Increase our vigilance and never let anyone ruin our plan," said the leader.
"Yes!" the subordinate responded.
The leader stayed in the room for a while and then left.
Lin Feng and others breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go quickly." Lin Feng said.
However, just as they walked out of the room, the alarm suddenly sounded.
"Oh no, we've been discovered!" Li Sanda was shocked.
In an instant, the entire stronghold fell into chaos, and countless guards rushed towards them...
