Game time PM17:48
Northwest continent, near Anka Market, east of the Spirit Wilderness, outside the security circle of the [Thermo Bottle] Inn

"According to the markings on the map..."

Accompanied by a fragrant breeze, Ji Xiaoge slowly landed on top of Wang Badan's head and waved the parchment in his hand. He said seriously to his friends who had stopped and gathered around Wang Ba, "The destination should be the small inn not far away."

Dabus stretched his neck to take a look into the distance, but after not seeing anything, he summoned out of thin air a high-level [Evil Eye Monster] that was dark purple in color and shaped like a giant eyeball. After establishing a temporary contract with it, he drove the demon that had quietly entered a hidden state to fly towards the brightly lit inn.

The so-called inn is a kind of service facility that is quite popular in the [Realm of Innocence]. There are individual operations and chain brands, and the main customer groups are mercenaries, adventurers, travelers, and businessmen. Even the smallest inn can meet the food and accommodation needs of hundreds of people at the same time.

In addition to the most basic food and accommodation, an inn will also have many accompanying industries, including but not limited to functional facilities such as food stalls, equipment workshops, intelligence stations, adventurer bulletin boards and small black markets. Among them, individually operated inns generally lay a good foundation, and then continuously attract investment in accompanying industries during the operation process. For example, in an inn with many mercenaries, there will be no shortage of black markets and equipment workshops. In an inn where merchants often pass by, there will often be many people willing to open food stalls and black markets.

As for those chain inns, such as the [Golden Tent] of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, the [Fuel House] of the Steam Consortium, the [Small Holy Land] of the Wealth Sect, etc., they were all equipped with functional high-end businesses from the beginning. Although the prices are much more expensive than ordinary inns, the services and facilities are also first-class, and they are very popular among people who are not short of money.

It is worth mentioning that about half a year ago, more than sixty chain inns named "Apple Garden" suddenly appeared on the mainland. Not only was the per capita consumption comparable to that of ordinary individually-operated inns, but the facilities and functionality were also comparable to industry trendsetters such as "Golden Tent", which attracted the attention of many people. As of a month ago, it had turned losses into profits, and entered the inn circle with an extremely aggressive attitude, grabbing market share with a large number of cheap and easy-to-use alien labor, and its eating habits were extremely heroic.

However, perhaps because it is too close to the Anka Market, this inn that seems to be closely related to [Woodlouse] is not a chain store, but a very ordinary-sized business inn with relatively ordinary environment and area.

And 'normal' was also the conclusion that Dabus gave to everyone a few minutes after releasing the beholder.

"I took a quick look and it's similar to the inn we encountered before. Most of the people I can see are merchants and adventurers who need food and lodging, and their destination is not Anka Market. There are probably dozens of them."

While remotely controlling the Eye Demon, Dabus turned to share with his companions: "I don't think there's anything special. Should we go in and take a look?"

Mo Tan hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "We still have to wait for Bilge and the others to come and join us. It's rare to see six Highlanders get together. And since this place is related to the [Sowlets], it's not a good idea to sneak in rashly... Sister Xiaole."

"I know, I know~"

Gu Xiaole immediately understood what Mo Tan meant. Without waiting for him to finish, he waved his hand to indicate that he understood. Then he gently nudged Anthony Dabbs and said, "Please take back that eyeball. I'll try a more curious method to find out the truth."

Dabus was stunned for a moment: "Current? What's the current situation?"

Anthony, without saying a word, directly cut off the connection between Anthony Dabbs and the Eye Demon, and banished the latter back to the other dimension after the contract expired.

“It’s like an out-of-body experience.”

Gu Xiaole shrugged his shoulders, then rolled his eyes and fell straight onto Ji Xiaoge.

"oops!"

Ji Xiaoge subconsciously immediately hugged the unconscious Great Onmyoji in his arms and wrapped him up with his wings. Just when he was about to call out "Sister Xiaole" twice, he received a friend message from the other party. In simple terms, the soul left the body very successfully, and he said, "I'm going to take a walk, and you guys stay here and don't move."

So, Ji Xiaoge held Gu Xiaole's 'soulless' body and waited with everyone else for her to come back to life.

Five minutes later, Gu Xiaole's soul did not return, but Burge and others successfully caught up with him. He dragged his almost broken body and reunited with everyone breathlessly.

"Excuse me, Brother Mo... Hooha... We... Hooha... are here."

Bilger threw a pile of muddy Nar on the ground, panting, and tried to speak seriously in a voice that was not so half-dead: "Is there anything...we can help...huha...I think we should rest for a while."

Mo Tan gave Bilge a look of approval for not trying to show off, and said with a smile: "I also think you should take a break first."

bah—

bah—

After he finished speaking, Alkik and Haroni immediately threw the almost exhausted Zar and Nymaya to the ground, and then they sat down where they were, trying to rest while looking at Mo Tan and others in doubt.

Obviously, even though they knew that the average level of the 'Paw Patrol Adventure Team' was very high, they didn't expect the gap between the two sides to be so big. The 'forced march' just now, which was a huge burden even if they were not injured and were in perfect condition, was terrifying enough for these young people, but for these few people...

Taking a hidden glance at Yaya, who was not even sweating, and the two-headed ogre who was chatting and laughing with "herself", the always strong-willed Haroni swallowed unconsciously and felt a little dizzy.

After all, among the younger generation of Highlanders in Loya, Haroni can be regarded as a child of pride. As a combat genius who is 100% able to reach the epic level before the age of 30, although she always maintains a strong competitive spirit and has never neglected to improve herself, she still feels proud of herself occasionally. After all, apart from the epic-level leader and deputy leader, Haroni can already be regarded as the most powerful person within the [Destroyer Mercenary Group], and her winning rate in the same level has always been 100%.

However, she was certain at this moment that whether it was Sister Yaya, who was always cheerful and happy, or Mr. Two-Headed Ogre, whom she had just met, it would probably take less than 20 moves for them to defeat her, who were of the same rank. As for Brother Mo...

Although she was unwilling to admit it, Haroni could vaguely feel that if the opponent really used all his strength, she might not be able to withstand even one move.

However, these young people did not feel any resentment or jealousy about this. On the contrary, they only had unpretentious awe and envy for their powerful friends and partners.

Of course, instead of marveling at the terrifying strength of Brother Mo's gang, what Birger and the others need most is to take time to rest. Thanks to the unreasonable physical fitness of the Highlanders, even if they are injured to some extent and their consciousness is blurred due to the crazy running just now, they can still recover to the level where they can fight in a short time. Coupled with the high-level alchemical potions, these teenagers who are considered "big spenders" to some extent will not be directly disabled by this amount of exercise.

Although Mo Tan personally hopes that Burge and others will lose their fighting ability.

[No, it is better to have some self-protection ability. ]

Mo Tan pinched his eyebrows lightly and suddenly changed his mind. For some reason, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Although he could not find the basis or source, he did not ignore the discomfort that was like a leech on the tarsal bone and was difficult to eliminate. Instead, he silently began to prepare plans for various possible emergencies.

Then--

As a chill spread out from Ji Xiaoge, everyone including Mo Tan was shocked. Zar and Nymya, who had poor concentration, even reached for their weapons subconsciously.

"Whoa!"

The beautiful winged girl who was the source of the cold murderous intent actually screamed and said softly: "Sister Xiaole, what...what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine~"

At one point, Mo Tan and the others even confused it with Samurai Shodown, but in the blink of an eye, the beautiful Onmyoji girl returned to her usual bright smile and shook her head, saying softly: "I just saw something...something that was somewhat unexpected."

Mo Tan, who had a bad feeling from just now, looked serious and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me about the situation, Sister Xiao Le."

"Okay." Gu Xiaole nodded and asked, "Do you want me to make it simpler or more complicated?"

Considering that Gu Xiaole's current mood should not be very good, in order to prevent her from feeling more uncomfortable by recalling those bad things carefully, Mo Tan hesitated for a moment and then said tentatively: "Keep it simple?"

"Oh."

The beautiful female Onmyoji casually pulled out her [Black Hina: Divination] and said concisely: "We will go over there later and kill all the guests and managers of that inn."

Everyone in the Wangwang Adventurer Team: "..."

Young Highlander from Loya: "..."

"Ok."

Mo Tan immediately realized that there was no way to simply explain this matter. He took a deep breath and changed the topic: "Then let's talk about the complicated version."

"The inn is a cover."

Gu Xiaole turned his head and looked at the buildings not far away that were gradually lighting up and looked simple and peaceful under the afterglow of the setting sun. He said calmly: "Under the surface, it is actually a huge...sex trade venue."

boom--

As Gu Xiaole finished speaking, a dazzling evil flame suddenly exploded in front of Dabus.

Ji Xiaoge's wings suddenly rose up, and her pretty face turned ashen in an instant.

Among the three players, only Mo Tan did not make any obvious reaction. Because of his other identity, he knew the [Viper Chamber of Commerce] better than anyone else. He just nodded slightly, motioning Gu Xiaole to continue.

As for Yaya, Wang Badan and several Highland teenagers, despite their different social environment, they did not react as violently as Dabusi and Ji Xiaoge, and their faces also looked unhappy.

But Gu Xiaole's next words made everyone's hair stand on end, and anger rose from their hearts.

"There are more than ten entrances leading to the underground. Below is a medium-sized three-story artificial underground city. Most of the guests are concentrated inside. The number is about three times that of the guests on the surface."

Gu Xiaole stared at the inn in the distance and said calmly, "Almost none of the 'service providers' inside are willing. Most of them have been injected with some kind of alchemical potion whose principle I don't know, but can turn people into puppets for a short period of time and obey the orders of others. It has serious side effects. Some... although they didn't take the medicine, they almost have no ability to resist."

"silent."

Dabus stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice: "We can't stay here."

"In the dungeon at the bottom, there are nearly a hundred women who appear to have not yet been 'tamed', and even some men who are about to receive special 'treatment'."

Gu Xiaole opened the fan and covered his face with it, leaving only a pair of gradually cold eyes exposed: "Among them, the youngest is only..."

"Sister Xiaole."

Mo Tan calmly interrupted Gu Xiaole and asked, "Among the guests inside, is there even one innocent or uninformed person?"

"No."

Gu Xiaole gave a firm answer, saying in a serious tone, "This place is not open to the public. People who are not target customers will be persuaded to leave by the operator for various reasons. Those who insist on forcing their way in will be dealt with by the 'security personnel.'"

Mo Tan nodded slightly and asked, "How strong are those security guards?"

"They won't be any worse than the new Unicorn Mercenary Group. If only Birger and his men come, even if they can cause some commotion, they will all be wiped out in the end."

As Gu Xiaole spoke, she raised her right hand and took the black coin [Shenganjie] from the Samurai who appeared beside her at some point and rarely cursed her to death. The corners of her mouth drew up an even rarer, murderous arc: "But, there is no epic."

"very good."

Mo Tan lowered his eyes, then casually placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and walked forward slowly -

"That's enough to know."

……

ten minutes later
PM18: 24
Northwest continent, near Anka Market, east of the Spirit Wilderness, in front of [Lechang·Warm Cocoon]
"Please stay, everyone."

More than a dozen high-level peak security guards with unfriendly faces blocked the way of Mo Tan and his group. They issued an ultimatum to these uninvited guests who ignored warnings several times and insisted on breaking into this "amusement park": "Here-"

Then, these thugs, all of whom were second-class operators, were able to deal with the same number of Wrecker mercenaries as long as they worked hard, so they stopped talking.

After all, the dead can't speak.

[Inherent barrier: Suffering and joy]

[Soulless Thousand Needle Prison]

The black imperial coin slowly fell.

[Field expansion: rage]

[Ashura: Destruction Lotus]

The blood-stained sword shadow brushed past gently.

Mo Tan and Gu Xiaole continued to move forward, leaving the debris that had not yet fallen to the ground behind them.
