Chapter 721

【In the game's story, Moze looks at Following Dan Heng, Stelle, and Lady Hanya, saying: "Listen well, I have been trailing these fugitives in the shadows. I know what they plan to do next."】

【"Their plan is to lock the portals of the entire Shackling Prison to delay the outside world from learning of this incident."】

【"The worst-case scenario is that we all fall under the claws of that giant wolf, and the Shackling Prison is sealed shut. No one will know our situation, and for a long time, no one will know they have escaped."】

【"The best-case scenario is—"】

【Stelle contemplates the current situation and says: "Both sides are locked in here together."】

【Moze says, unsure if it is a compliment or an insult: "Ah, there are still some smart people here."】

【Subsequently, Moze continues: "The best-case scenario is to seal the gates and be buried in the deep prison with the enemy. We absolutely cannot let that giant wolf leave this place."】

【"In this way, after some time, the outside world will notice, and reinforcements will arrive. As for whether we are still alive by then, that is not an option we should be considering."】

Livestream room.

"Sigh, from a strategic perspective, Mr. Moze's words make a lot of sense."

"Indeed, this way, once the outside world cannot contact the Shackling Prison, they will naturally realize something is wrong."

"However, this also means that everyone inside the Shackling Prison has truly become a lone army."

March 7th sighs and says: "I knew it. Every time we go to a place, we definitely encounter some trouble, and this time is no exception."

"It's just that this time, isn't it a bit too dangerous?"

"Following Dan Heng and Stelle are both trapped in the Shackling Prison, and I don't know if they can hold out until reinforcements arrive from the outside."

Following Dan Heng says in a deep voice: "Heaven never closes all doors; until the very end, nothing is set in stone."

Welt Yang adjusts his glasses and says: "Although this Xiyan's strength is formidable, facing the existing combat power of the entire Luo Fu Xianzhou, I fear it is hard for him to have a chance of victory."

"However, looking at the current situation, the state of affairs on the Luo Fu Xianzhou is also intricate and complex, with various parties having their own calculations, both in the open and in the dark."

Himeko nods and says: "However, General Jing Yuan should have anticipated this."

【Listening to Moze's words, Following Dan Heng speaks in a rare, sarcastic tone, teasing: "Mr. Moze really knows how to comfort people."】

【To this, Moze calmly says: "As people of the Yaoqing, our entire lives are spent pursuing dedication to things of value."】

【And Following Dan Heng also expresses his thoughts firmly: "I must leave this place alive; my companions are still waiting for me."】

【Lady Hanya also understands the current situation and says firmly: "As someone of the Underworld, Lady Hanya has already died once."】

【Stelle also says solemnly: "I also want to get out alive."】

【Following Dan Heng looks at Stelle and comforts her: "Don't worry, with me here, even if there is a sacrifice, I will never let you be the first."】

【Lady Hanya looks at Following Dan Heng and cannot help but say with bitter humor: "You are just as good at comforting people as Mr. Moze."】

【Subsequently, Lady Hanya looks at the three and says: "None of you are subordinates of the Ten-Lords Commission; there is absolutely no reason to sacrifice yourselves for this. As a Judge, guarding the prison is my duty. If anyone can stop Xiyan from escaping and causing harm, that person should be me. Not you."】

【"Upon reaching the gate, I hope you can all do your best to assist me in sealing the portal. I will fight the Borisin to the best of my ability; please find a place to hide and protect yourselves."】

【"Now, we head up!"】

Livestream room.

"Even at such a dangerous time, everyone is still willing to risk their lives to protect others; it is truly moving."

"Yes, hearing their words, the fear in my heart has lessened quite a bit."

"Sigh, Following Dan Heng is truly... I'm crying, he is too gentle."

"Facing such a dangerous situation, everyone can still talk and laugh like this; I have to say, their inner strength is beyond doubt."

"Yes, if I encountered something like this, I would probably be shaking in my boots and unable to speak clearly."

"After all, whether in strength or temperament, these few are the best of the best; compared to most ordinary people, it is a bit hard on them."

"Sigh, judging from their words, Xiyan's strength is indeed formidable; I wonder if Following Dan Heng can contend with him after using the power of the Imbibitor Lunae."

"Not sure, but one thing is certain: the gold content of Jingliu's strength is still constantly rising."

"Indeed, I wonder how Jingliu managed to capture such a ferocious giant wolf alive back then."

【Subsequently, the group quickens their pace, heading toward the gate of the Shackling Prison.】

【There are naturally many enemies encountered along the way, but for the four of them—Following Dan Heng, Stelle, Lady Hanya, and Moze—they are not that difficult to deal with, though they still hinder the group's speed to some extent.】

【As they get closer to the gate, the surrounding Prison Guards and Aurumaton Spectral Envoys gradually increase, and they are all fighting against the mara-struck and Borisin in the vicinity.】

【Following Dan Heng, along with Xueyi, Moze, and Stelle, seeing this and knowing that time is of the essence and it is inconvenient to waste too much time, merely kill the monsters they encounter along the way and quickly arrive before the gate.】

【Here, Borisin Wolf-kin and the wolf-shaped mechs from the IPC are also waiting, clearly to prevent those behind from catching up.】

【Lady Hanya looks at these monsters, steps forward, and says in a deep voice: "Everyone, I will hold them off; please be sure to stop Xiyan from escaping!"】

【On the other side, Xiyan and Mudu lead Doctor Jiaoqiu and a group of Borisin Wolf-kin along the way; at this moment, the Shackling Prison has become a slaughterhouse.】

【The prison guards fight desperately, but Doctor Jiaoqiu can only watch them fall...】

Livestream room.

"Sigh, watching his compatriots fall under the hands of the Borisin while being powerless to help, Doctor Jiaoqiu must be in great pain."

"Even if it were just any creature, one would feel this way, let alone fellow citizens of the Xianzhou."

"The cruelty of the Borisin has truly taught us a good lesson."

"Yes, although there have been crises in previous stories, this is the first time we have seen such bloody and cruel slaughter."

"In the galaxy, there is too much cruelty and bloodshed; after all, not every civilization can survive in the vast sea of stars."

March 7th's expression is ugly, a look of sorrow flashing in her eyes as she says: "This is too tragic, even more cruel than facing the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus on the Xianzhou before."

Following Dan Heng says in a heavy tone: "The Borisin are cruel by nature and use bloody methods; once they succeed, more people will die."

Stelle also nods solemnly: "That's right, we must not let Xiyan escape successfully."

Xianzhou Yaoqing.

Doctor Jiaoqiu clenches his palms, feeling his own powerlessness; for a moment, he feels that he is truly so incompetent.

Feixiao looks at Doctor Jiaoqiu, sighs, and says: "Doctor Jiaoqiu, this is not your fault."

Doctor Jiaoqiu shakes his head and says in a deep voice: "But if I had spoken out about the anomalies I noticed earlier, would there have been a turning point?"

Feixiao looks at the scene in the game and says: "In that situation, how could one have anticipated what would follow? Moreover, this is the Luo Fu, not the Yaoqing; it is normal for you to have had your reservations."

【In the game's story, after the Borisin Wolf-kin kill the Prison Guards and Aurumaton Spectral Envoys blocking their path, perhaps having not experienced bloody slaughter for a long time, Xiyan lets out a cold-blooded, hissing laugh and shouts loudly: "ARraaa—"】

【"Such... such familiar memories! Those memories of chasing, gnawing, and tearing... they're back, they're all back! They've all returned!"】

【Mudu looks at Xiyan's madness and reveals a smile.】

【And Doctor Jiaoqiu's expression is low, with anger and sorrow hidden in his eyes.】

【Mudu looks at Xiyan and says excitedly: "My lord, freedom is only one step away. Once we pass through the gate, no one will be able to stop us anymore."】

【Xiyan hears this, looks at Doctor Jiaoqiu, with killing intent lingering in his eyes, and says: "Then this hostage is of no value? Mudu, kill him."】

【Doctor Jiaoqiu looks at the situation before him, his heart filled with anxiety—】

【(He is about to leave... quickly think of a way... just like in the past, Doctor Jiaoqiu, you powerless piece of trash... think of a way...)】

【Doctor Jiaoqiu's thoughts race, constantly thinking about how to stop Xiyan's escape, without caring in the slightest about his own life.】

Livestream room.

"Mr. Doctor Jiaoqiu, it is too hard on him at a time like this."

"Sigh, watching so many prison guards in the Shackling Prison die at the hands of Xiyan, Doctor Jiaoqiu is also distressed; if Xiyan really escapes, it will be unforgivable for the Xianzhou."

"To be honest, from the content I saw in the preview before, I thought Mr. Doctor Jiaoqiu was a wise man who could devise strategies; now it seems a bit different."

"Those who devise strategies in books and win battles from thousands of miles away have all read the script; in reality, when lacking information and time, one can only rely on quick wit and reactions to things."

【Mudu turns to look at Doctor Jiaoqiu, his tone changing, and says: "Perhaps the envoy of the Yaoqing can make a deal with us to survive, using his identity to help us leave the Xianzhou. Am I right, Mr. Doctor Jiaoqiu?"】

【Xiyan sees this, lets out a mocking and angry laugh, and says: "In the days I was gone, what kind of pathetic state have you devolved into? You've actually started bargaining with livestock? In my memory, the Foxians would never make this deal with the descendants of Dulan."】

【Doctor Jiaoqiu looks at Xiyan, his heart constantly searching for a plan: (I must... make this beast stay... whether for Feixiao, or for the Yaoqing...)】

March 7th looks at the plot in the game and sighs: "Mr. Doctor Jiaoqiu... does he not care about his own life at all?"】

Himeko says in a deep voice: "Perhaps just as Moze said before: 【As people of the Yaoqing, our entire lives are spent pursuing dedication to things of value】."】
