Chapter 310: Sores
Chapter 310 Riddled with Holes
Mo Yu was hoping for another monster attack, but things didn't go as planned. After the last attack, no monsters appeared, and the journey had been peaceful, which made him feel very disappointed.
Travel during the day and rest at night.
Mo Yu and Hai Luo Bella discussed the use of their abilities, but unfortunately, Hai Luo Bella's abilities were limited to liquid substances; gaseous and solid substances were not within her control.
To truly emulate a sword immortal, one still needs to hone their skills.
As for the shortcomings, those can be addressed by the equipment.
Following Herobella's request, Amya began designing equipment for the little mermaid, and Moyu would occasionally release a mirror image to help with the manual crafting from their hiding place.
In addition, Mo Yu has made some small discoveries during this period.
It's about Kong Tian.
This boy is incredibly resilient; he's the type who gets stronger with each setback. Now, he fights Alpha every night and sleeps soundly in the car during the day, never giving up even when he's covered in bruises.
What Mo Yu found strange was that Kong Tian was an ordinary person.
He is already 16 years old.
The extraordinary individuals in the Northern Lands all start learning martial arts from a young age. Kong Tian, at his age, has already missed the best age for learning martial arts. Such willpower should not be due to fear of hardship, but rather because he has other difficulties.
Mo Yu found the answer from Kong Fang.
“The crown prince was sent to the capital as a hostage from a young age, and there was no one to teach him. What the emperor needs is a useless person.”
After hearing Kong Fang's words, Mo Yu sighed.
Damn political infighting.
But then he wondered, could such an ordinary person be entrusted with such a great responsibility in Snow City?
When Mo Yu asked the question, Kong Fang sighed and replied, "The core of the Demon-Subduing Formation in Snow City requires the blood of a direct descendant of the Kong family to maintain and repair, otherwise its power will be greatly reduced. The Kong family originally had six siblings, but they died one after another for various reasons, and four of them have died in the past year."
Mo Yu sighed.
What a poor man.
Three days later, it started snowing.
After braving the wind and snow for dozens of miles, the magnificent city wall appeared before everyone.
Snow City.
This city is nestled between two high mountains, built against the slopes. To the north lies a vast snowfield, the territory of demons and a forbidden zone for humans.
This is the northernmost major city where humans can be active.
The city is garrisoned year-round with over 5 elite troops. A giant demon-subduing formation has been built around the city, and its coverage extends along the mountain ridges on both sides, forming the northernmost barrier of the Northern Underworld Kingdom.
When monsters enter the Demon-Subduing Formation, their strength is suppressed to a certain extent, which is one of the reasons why Snow City survived several waves of demon attacks.
As the procession approached, the city gates opened.
Soldiers in various official robes and armor came out of the city to greet them, with comprehensive and meticulous etiquette. This was evident everywhere, showing the great respect these people held for the Kong family, a testament to the prestige accumulated by the Prince of Zhenbei during his lifetime.
Kong Tian was woken up and got out of the car to go through the procedures.
Mo Yu and Hai Luo Bella watched the show from the sidelines.
He discovered something interesting.
Among these dozens of people, there were three fox demons standing on the edge. They didn't seem to be any important figures, but that wasn't a good thing either.
It is likely that Snow City has been infiltrated by multiple parties.
Mo Yu didn't want to alert the enemy; he wanted to see just how many demons were lurking within Snow City.
The welcoming process was quite complicated.
Helena Bella, full of energy, secretly took out a camera to record a video and preserve historical data.
The group entered the city.
The blood-written words appeared intermittently along the way.
Finally, we entered the Prince Zhenbei's Mansion.
Mo Yu and Hai Luo Bella were treated as the highest-level guest elders, placed in a very exquisite courtyard, and provided with some servants to serve them, but Mo Yu found a reason to drive them away.
After Kong Tian and the others made arrangements for the two, they said goodbye and left in a hurry. They seemed to be very busy.
Mo Yu also needs some leisure time, so their travels are naturally not restricted.
Inside a room in the villa.
Mo Yu opened the hiding place and brought Herobella inside. They waited inside the Al Court, where it would issue a warning if anything happened.
Share current information with others.
Amya was very interested in the formation and wanted to send out drones for reconnaissance. Moyu granted her permission, allowing her to make a simple layout within the city and place hidden surveillance in some key areas.
After finishing their business, Mo Yu took Hai Luo Bella out for a stroll to experience the local culture and customs of Snow City.
Lei Leya insisted on joining in the fun, so Mo Yu disguised her as well and found an opportunity to let her out from outside.
Leaving the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion through the back gate, stroll along the well-connected roads. The snow in the city is regularly cleared, so it doesn't accumulate too deeply. Although it's located on the frontier, the market here is still quite bustling, with merchants from the interior selling all sorts of goods.
Mo Yu's attention was drawn to the blood-red words.
Every now and then, I would see some blood-red reminders, all of them about fox demons, very uniform.
These fox spirits disguised themselves as humans and blended perfectly into the crowd.
Soldiers patrolled the streets from time to time, maintaining a tight security, yet no one noticed these disguised monsters. Judging from the density of these monsters, Snow City had been infiltrated very severely. He even saw blood-written warnings among the soldiers.
Until it got dark.
Mo Yu and Hai Luo Bella returned to the palace. Not long after they arrived, someone knocked on the door.
Open the door and take a look.
A maidservant with a seductive appearance stood outside the door. As soon as the door opened, she immediately presented the meal box in a sweet and coquettish voice, saying, "My esteemed guests, this is dinner from the kitchen."
"Give it to me." Mo Yu took the food from the maid, closed the door, and knocked the maid who was trying to enter the courtyard away.
He was so brutal because the blood-written mark was on the maid's forehead.
[Fox Demon, First Evolution]
They've even infiltrated the Prince's residence.
How is this still playing?
Mo Yu glanced at the food box in his hand, then decisively went into the hiding place and called out, "Alice, Amy, come out and get to work. Analyze the poison in the food and prepare the antidote."
Herobella: "Is it poisonous inside?"
Mo Yu: "I guessed."
10 minute later.
Mo Yu and Hai Luo Bella emerged from their hiding place, each carrying a transparent glass bottle containing a pale blue drug—a special medicine designed to counteract toad venom.
The toxins in the food came from a powerful demon; they were toad toxins, a slow-acting poison with a potency comparable to paraquat. Within a few days, it would cause someone's intestines to rupture.
"Let's go find Kong Fang."
Mo Yu led Hai Luo Bella away from the courtyard and notified the guards at the gate. Soon, someone led them to an antique-style study.
Herobella's eyes lit up; she was very interested in the room.
As soon as Mo Yu entered the room, she saw that half of the pastries on the table were missing, and there was also a half-eaten pastry on a plate.
Kong Fang raised his head, looking somewhat weary, and asked, "Mr. Mo, Fairy Hai, is there anything you need?"
Mo Yu looked around the room.
Kong Fang understood and gestured for the servants in the room to leave, then locked the doors and windows.
Mo Yu picked up a pastry from the table, took out a test strip, and rubbed it on the strip. The test strip immediately changed color.
They were indeed poisoned.
Mo Yu took out the bottle and placed it in front of Kong Fang, saying, "Miss Kong, the Prince's mansion is indeed fraught with danger. Here, drink the antidote first."
Kong Fang was shocked: "Mr. Mo, this...this pastry is poisoned?"
Mo Yu nodded and said, "Yes, and I have some bad news for you. This afternoon we went out for a walk and found that there are many fox demons in the city who are good at disguising themselves, including in your mansion."
