Chapter 1550

A gale howled over the Gobi. The continuous mountain ranges in the distance were bare and unusually steep. Given the harshness of the environment here, it was nearly impossible for civilians to settle down and live in peace nearby.

The Apostle's Eye rushed through the wind and sand, arriving above the mountain range. After penetrating a thin film, the surroundings twisted.

West Port had been able to survive to this day under the care of Witch Hunters, and it certainly had its unique features. Fortunately, the Apostle's Eye was a non-living entity and did not trigger the defensive mechanisms on the mountains.

Through the images sent back by the Apostle's Eye, Su Xiao saw the scene behind the mountains. What met his eyes were large areas of terraced houses. It was unknown how many generations of people had carved them out; the other side of the mountain range had been built into huge stairs of varying specifications, and thousands of houses were built on these huge stairs.

The huge stone stairs were divided into 12 levels. The higher the location of the building, the more luxurious it was. Closest to the top of the mountain was a castle covering a large area. On the west side of the castle, one could see the sea, while on the east side was the endless Gobi. All the buildings in West Port were in full view.

West Port was surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side. The outer sides of the mountains on the three sides were all cliffs. Because they were too steep, it was impossible for ordinary civilians to climb up.

Not only that, but these cliffs were also full of traps. The entire West Port had only one entrance and exit, which was the sea. Even Su Xiao could not enter the port from those cliffs.

The traps and defensive arrays on the cliffs were no longer numbered in the hundreds or thousands, but at least tens of thousands had been set up. What was even more headache-inducing was that the area above was filled with a transparent gas. Entering that gas was like entering a piece of amber. Even if Su Xiao could detect the location of the traps, as long as he moved forward, the viscous gas around him would trigger the traps.

Of course, Su Xiao didn't intend to enter West Port from the three sides of the mountains. Even if he infiltrated, it would be from the sea route.

West Port, this natural fortress, also had a tight blockade of the sea area. 12 watchtowers were built in the sea area in front of West Port. These watchtowers were distributed in an inverted U-shape in the surrounding sea area, and each watchtower was guarded by several or even a dozen witches.

As for the sea area below the watchtowers, energy nets connected the watchtowers. Above each watchtower was a huge crystal. These crystals absorbed light energy to maintain the energy net under the sea.

The entire West Port was guarded like an iron bucket, which made Su Xiao wonder how Melodie had managed to escape from West Port.

Melodie's original words were that she had escaped West Port by taking a fishing boat out to sea. Although it wasn't impossible, there was a significant element of luck involved.

Su Xiao drew a circle on the ground; this was basically the defense map of West Port. The three sides of the cliffs had a large number of elemental traps, and the sea area in front was heavily guarded, unless one had space abilities to teleport directly into West Port.

Su Xiao certainly had a relatively simple way to enter West Port: first, let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang use the 【Wolf Clan Heirloom】 to graffiti here and set a starting point, then Xiang Bubu would infiltrate West Port alone and graffiti a second mark inside, thereby dragging Su Xiao from the starting point directly into West Port.

Although the 【Wolf Clan Heirloom】 was a piece of equipment, its durability decreased with each use. The graffiti for the starting point + ending point required 2 points of durability. The 【Wolf Clan Heirloom】 had a total of 30 durability points, meaning this item could only be used fifteen times.

The 【Wolf Clan Heirloom】 had strategic significance for the team; it could be used in conjunction with Apollo or Hades.

After thinking for a moment, Su Xiao decided not to use the 【Wolf Clan Heirloom】 for the time being and to go to the sea to see what the situation was.

The carriage set off again, this time circling the mountain range. Soon, Su Xiao heard the sound of waves. When the carriage drove past a corner of a cliff, a large area of black reefs appeared ahead.

Arriving at the coast, Su Xiao discovered that there were still a large number of elemental traps here. The witches also knew that the shallow sea area where the mountains and sea met was the easiest for enemies to take advantage of, so they had reinforced the defenses here.

Infiltrating the port from the shallow sea area was obviously not feasible, so only one option remained: dive into the sea and infiltrate West Port from the front facing the sea.

Only Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Melodie needed to infiltrate West Port. Because Amu was a relatively large target, it could only wait on the coast before the battle broke out. First, to watch the carriage, and second, to rush up the mountain at a critical moment to trigger elemental traps and attract the enemy's attention, thereby creating an opportunity for Su Xiao.

"I have to go too?"

Melodie looked at Su Xiao in astonishment. She glanced at her own arms, and the meaning was clear: 'I am a weak woman with thin arms and legs; do you really have the heart?'

With a slap, Su Xiao threw a diving suit in front of Melodie. Obviously, he did have the heart. Melodie had grown up in West Port; no one knew it better than she did.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang put on diving goggles and bit down on a scuba mouthpiece. It shook the fur on its body, rushed forward a few steps, and leaped high.

Mid-air, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was head-down, its tail stretched straight. The whole dog was like a sharp sword, and with a swish, it submerged into the water.

Melodie's eyelid twitched. She looked at the diving equipment in her hand and shook her head at Su Xiao.

Two minutes later.

Gurgle...

Melodie, with eyes full of terror, was in the seawater. Melodie, who had grown up in West Port, was actually afraid of water, or rather, she was afraid of the pressure of diving into the water, which made it impossible for her to catch her breath.

A 'mysterious force' blocked Melodie's mouth, her breathing became difficult, and she waved her hands wildly.

Su Xiao opened the water intake hole of the scuba mouthpiece in Melodie's mouth, and that 'mysterious force' disappeared...

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's swimming level went without saying; this creature was a fish once it entered the water. Due to the spiral acceleration of its tail, it swam even faster than Su Xiao.

The seawater was somewhat cold. Su Xiao, who was in the seawater, made a gesture to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang kicked its dog paws, left a ripple, and disappeared from Su Xiao's perception.

Su Xiao grabbed Melodie beside him, stepped on the seawater beneath him, and with a bang, rushed toward the deep-water area.

A few minutes later, Su Xiao arrived at the deep-water area. Not far to the side was a stone pillar built of rocks. According to the information fed back by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, above the stone pillar was a watchtower.

Blue smoke wrapped Su Xiao inside. On both sides of the stone pillar under the sea was a yellow energy net. This energy net drifted with the seawater, and below it were full of fish bones.

Su Xiao made a gesture to Melodie, signaling her to wait here, while Su Xiao drifted toward the sea surface.

Slowly poking his head out from the sea surface, a few meters away from Su Xiao was a watchtower built on a stone pillar. The watchtower was about ten meters above the sea surface, and the stone pillar below was covered with various mosses or shellfish, making it very smooth.

Su Xiao looked up at the watchtower above. After finding nothing unusual, he pressed his hand against the stone pillar.

Hum~

The green indicator light on the black sharkskin gloves lit up, and hundreds of micro-suction cups were activated simultaneously. Relying on the adhesion of the black gloves, Su Xiao climbed toward the top of the watchtower.

When he climbed to the main body of the watchtower, Su Xiao stopped. Above him was the circular window of the watchtower, and the view from this window was almost without blind spots.

The Apostle's Eye flew out from Su Xiao's sleeve. He didn't bother with the Apostle's Eye for the time being, but instead pulled three ropes from his waist, fixed himself to the watchtower with suction cups and ropes, and D·Assassination appeared in his hand.
