"Something's wrong. It's not an escape, it's an invasion!" Jackdaw quickly determined the current situation and turned to look at Xing and Dan Heng.

She was about to say something when she realized the two men didn't seem surprised at all. They even had their weapons ready. Xing even had not only her iconic baseball bat, but also a... what looked like a pickaxe made of pixels?

Is that some galactic wonder?

"...Do you know something?" Jackdaw immediately sensed something wrong from the reactions of the two.

"There's a traitor inside Luofu." Xing Zhao Jackdaw blinked, "Our mission is to intercept those accomplices of the Buli people. They are the evidence that will help the general find the traitor."

"Attention." Dan Heng suddenly said, "There are invisible enemies nearby."

"Invisible enemy?" The jackdaw quickly became alert and soon noticed something unusual in the surrounding light.

"Cloud Chanting Technique...it's indeed him." Dan Heng recognized the disguise.

"Time to dig the hole!" Xing raised the pickaxe. "Dan Heng, what size is appropriate?"

"...One block wide and three blocks deep. If it's too big, it might run away."

Jackdaw was completely bewildered, having no idea what Xing and Danheng were talking about. Digging a pit? Here? In the Prison?

Are you kidding me? What about one square wide and three squares deep? I've never heard of that unit of measurement.

The answers to these questions were soon answered by facts. When Xing swung the pickaxe and dug a square hole in the ground beneath his feet, the jackdaw was completely shocked.

However, Xing was focused on something else. As she used her pickaxe to dig a hole in the ground of the Prison, [Compatible Modules] clearly revealed: [Cube World Laws] Unlock Progress: 05%

It’s a pity that no blocks can be dug out in either the Dreaming Border or the Prison.

On the other side of the Prison, Bianca, along with Jiaoqiu, Moze, and Dapo Xueyi, successfully escaped the encirclement on the lower level. She lowered the fox, the human, and the puppet from the somersault cloud and took the passage inside the Prison.

The Prison's structure was unique, and Bianca realized that if she wanted to fly out of the center, she had to either take a vertical route, straight up and down, or a spiral route with frequent rotations. But no matter which route she took, flying at high speeds was somewhat... unpleasant.

Bianca was a little worried that if she flew along these two routes, even if the envoy was not killed by Hu Lei, she would most likely be killed.

So to be safe, Bianca chose to follow the reasonable route planned by Juouji.

Away from the most dangerous roaring thunder, Jiaoqiu and Moze were now more than capable of protecting themselves. Bianca handed the focus of the breakout to them, while she herself, carrying her snow jacket, took charge of the support work.

This makeshift team went all the way up along the commuting route of Shi Wangsi, and at the same time, they considerately cut off all possible roads for Hu Lei behind them. Their main goal was to not let Hu Lei get what he wanted, but to disgust him to death.

The blocking of the route did cause some trouble for Hu Lei, who had followed him later, forcing him to find another way out of the prison's lower levels. However, Hu Lei wasn't upset by this, instead mocking it as a revelation of the guards' powerlessness.

Delaying time and waiting for reinforcements. What a common intention, so common that one can see through it at a glance without even thinking.

However, if the Prison of Hell wanted to request reinforcements, it would have to at least contact the outside world. Although Hu Lei didn't fully believe that Mo Du could completely block the entire Prison of Hell, he only needed to block it for a period of time.

By the time he'd had a feast in this hunting ground, even if the Prison of Hell had restored its connection to the outside world, it would be useless. Hu Lei didn't think these small sergeants, who could only guard the prison, could stop him. Unless General Xianzhou came in person, he would be invincible.

"I want all the flesh and blood walking here to become the nourishment for my return to freedom!"

Hu Lei led the Buli wolf pack to launch a hunting operation against all life in the Youqiu Prison.

Unfortunately, Hu Lei had no idea that even if Modu blocked the channels for the Ten Kings Division to contact the outside world, there was actually still a connection with the outside world in the Prison that he could not cut off.

Cross-border information interaction station!

Jing Yuan, in charge of the Divine Strategy Palace, has received news from within the prison. Bu Liren, who had infiltrated the prison, launched a breakout, but Hu Lei escaped successfully. Numerous unseen enemies are wreaking havoc within the prison, creating chaos. The judges, caught off guard by the series of events, are left to fend for themselves.

Yulandel is protecting the Yaoqing envoy from leaving, and according to the plan, she is creating a roadblock on the way to prevent Hu Lei from escaping; the train crew is digging holes everywhere in the prison, and has already captured a lot of useful "witnesses".

Everything developed according to plan. Jing Yuan quickly began to issue follow-up orders, instructing the Tianbo Division to announce a new round of business activities and guide the crowd to evacuate to several designated areas; and dispatched the Cloud Cavalry who had been screened out to the area around Huixing Port to perform duties. At the same time, he instructed the Cloud Cavalry who had been prepared long ago to disguise themselves as civilians and fill the areas where the crowd was empty.

Some orders were packaged in such a way that no connection with the plan could be seen, such as the business activities of the Tianbo Division; while some orders were issued directly by Jing Yuan bypassing the top management of Luofu Xianzhou, such as the dispatch of several units of the Yunqi Army.

Jing Yuan had concealed this from almost all of Luofu's top brass, save for a few insiders. It was conceivable that if this operation ultimately failed, he, as a Luofu general, would inevitably suffer the most intense backlash.

But will the plan fail? Jing Yuan doesn't think so.

The possibility of the plan failing is perhaps only slightly higher if the fox people of Yaoqing Xianzhou collectively choose to forgive Bu Liren.

The next step was to wait for Hu Lei to leave the Prison. Jing Yuan continued to deduce the situation on the sand table, while Fei Xiao took advantage of this break to train frantically, feeling the almost saturated positive feedback brought by the "Perfectionist".

Another old general, Huai Yan, went to deal with another matter. The guests from Kalevala Star returned an ancient sword left behind by the Xianzhou people for the Xingtian Martial Arts Ceremony.

Hu Lei, far away in the prison, didn't know that even though he had left the cage, he had never truly gained freedom. Even this prison escape was just a flutter on the chessboard of the generals.

Wang Xuanqiao was also happy to watch a play that was different from the original. However, the climax of the plot still needed time, so he could only continue to travel around the Luofu Immortal Boat with Kiana, who had not yet been assigned a mission.

Li Suchang was teaching San Yueqi, and Bianca was protecting the diplomatic corps. The timing of this two-person world was indeed unexpected.

I don’t know if it’s because there’s no third party present, or because she crossed that line, but Kiana’s actions became much bolder.

She likes holding hands very much. The temperature in the palm of her hand is the warmest. After holding it tightly, it is as if a warm current is lingering in each other's bodies, connecting the two people together.

Although Kiana always walked in front, Wang Xuanqiao was the one leading the way. Together, they strolled through the streets and alleys of the Xianzhou residential area, visited Taipusi, where fallen leaves were falling due to the rebirth of Jianmu, and entered the Linyuan territory to observe the unique ecological landscape of the Chiming clan.

After reaching the Scaled Abyss, it was natural to build a small boat and drift across the ancient sea. The immortal boat was actually a starship, but there was such a vast ocean inside. This novel feeling made Kiana want to jump in and see if she could catch any fish.

But she finally held back, because the scenery under the ancient sea can actually be seen in the Linyuan territory.

Wang Xuanqiao even took Kiana on a tour of the eerie Sui Garden. As long as they avoided the graveyard, the gardens there were actually quite a bit of scenery to enjoy. In this way, they had practically walked through the entire Luofu Immortal Boat.

Hu Lei, who escaped from prison, finally left the prison in the exhaust fumes of Bianca and others.

What greeted him was a surprise.

——The author has something to say——

One grid wide and three grids deep, I wonder if anyone can react 233

That's right, this is the same method used during the early stages of MC's man caves. Dig two or three blocks into the ground, then reach up and use a dirt block to cover your head. During the rough and tumble early stages, if you couldn't get back to your base at night or didn't have one, you'd just bury yourself in the ground for the night.

Another similar method is to find a mountain and dig inside, then block the entrance with dirt blocks and spend the night in the cave.

Put it here and you can directly shut down the demonic soldiers. Xing digs a hole, Dan Heng lures the monster over and kicks it into the hole. The monster will be stuck in this narrow space and cannot escape. In addition, the article also says that Xing cannot dig out blocks with an iron pickaxe. Interested readers can guess why he can't dig it out.

Also, the plot of March 7th's sword practice, including the time when Scott's dog barks, actually takes place during this period, but the focus of this plot is on the layout of Hu Lei, so it is skipped. The article also mentions the return of the sword, and the ancient story, including the plot of Yun Li's companionship, also took place during this period.

I'd like to tell my fellow readers that those things have already happened. I might tell them about them later through the characters' narration.

Volume 286: : The ones who should be afraid are the Xianzhou people!

What is a surprise?

Like waking from a dream to find it's come true; like finding a soft pillow just as you're about to fall asleep; like a hopeless situation suddenly changing; like a ten-year-old pigeon suddenly bursting with updates! Although the last one is more like a shock, there's a saying that goes, "Don't starve to death; eat well before you set off."

So, let's translate, what is the surprise of Hu Lei? What is the "Xianzhou Curse" called the "Xianzhou Curse" surprise?

The surprise is that an insider in the fairy boat is willing to contribute money and effort to help Master Hu Lei send the Luofu fairy boat out safely!

Weird.

After taking the potion and donning a fox-man disguise, Hu Lei followed the route pre-arranged by Mo Du and was currently resting within the Dan Ding Division. Upon leaving the Prison of Hell and reconnecting with the outside world, Mo Du excitedly informed Hu Lei that the escape ship was ready. He only needed to endure a little longer and reach Luofu's harbor, where he would truly be free.

This was indeed a pleasant surprise; Modu's plan had actually gone more smoothly than expected. Having been imprisoned for seven hundred years, Hu Lei yearned for freedom. Now he could truly smell the breath of freedom he had always sought but never had.

However, Hu Lei, who was cunning and suspicious by nature, quickly abandoned the impulse to embrace freedom and forced himself to calm down.

It was going too smoothly. He immediately began to doubt the current situation.

If Modu hadn't deceived himself, then with a traitor within and a grand event about to take place, the Luofu Immortal Ship was indeed likely to be unprepared. Even if the news of the Prison's fall eventually spread, the Cloud Cavalry might not be able to blockade the port as required.

Without a doubt, now was the time to compete in speed. As long as they moved fast enough, they could escape into the starry sea before General Xianzhou could react. With the support of the beast ships, he could once again gallop across the vast starry sea!

But, are all three Xianzhou generals just good-for-nothings who hold positions but do nothing?

Hu Lei quickly thought of the three envoys from Qingqiu. Although they fled in a panic after he escaped and destroyed many roads along the way, Hu Lei had never run into them again since they escaped.

They might be hiding in some corner of the prison, trying to survive, but maybe... they have found other ways to tip off the outside world, or even escaped first.

Hu Lei did not completely believe the blockade that Mo Du mentioned. Even though the "ally" who lent a helping hand inside the Immortal Boat was indeed in a high position and had considerable control over the Prison, he was still an outsider after all, not one of his own.

Indeed, Hu Lei didn't even consider Modu, the man who rescued him, as his own. Ever since Modu spoke of the Eternal Lord's messenger, he had become suspicious of this brat.

Especially along the way, Modu did not submit wholeheartedly like the descendants of Dulan who were led by him in the past. He even showed the intention of dissuading them from time to time. This made Hu Lei realize that the Buli people's hunting group was probably no longer what it used to be.

The tribesmen of today might respect him, but they didn't fear him. And for the Buli hunting group, not being afraid meant their rule was on the verge of collapse. Even if Hu Lei returned to the hunting group, he would surely lose the prestige that once intimidated them.

And what would I become like this? A chess piece, a chess piece used to unite the hunting pack!

At this moment, Hu Lei was thinking about many things. He couldn't just stare at the bones in front of him like a dog. Wolves eat blood and meat, but they would never get these without going through a hunt.

We can't rush to board the ship and escape now. Hu Lei had his own ideas.

He realized that escaping before the immortal boat could react was completely wishful thinking. This was a huge ship with no boundaries. How could he be confident that he could fly out of the starry sea relying only on some merchant ships stolen from the inside?

If you want to get out of Luofu Fairy Boat, you can't sneak away by merchant ship, but you have to use a sturdy warship to force your way out.

So, the next thing to do is not to rush.

Just as he was about to hurry up and continue his journey, Modu came to urge Hu Lei to set off. This time, Hu Lei no longer expressed his approval of Modu as he did in prison.

"Modu, do you really think you can escape from this huge ship with your poor plan?" Hu Lei asked Modu in a deep voice.

"Sir! But if we don't rush to the star port now, things will become complicated by the time those beasts react."

The Prison of Hell was locked up when they left, and with the prisoners and their 'allies' restraining them, they could at least buy themselves a little while longer. But that time would certainly not be long. As soon as General Xianzhou learned of Hu Lei's escape, the Cloud Cavalry would definitely blockade the Starport.

All Modu could think about was escaping on the prepared boat before anything happened. But now, the war chief he rescued from the prison didn't seem to think so.

"During my absence, how pathetic have you become? You've only managed to escape like dogs from under the noses of the livestock, instead of trying to intimidate them and stop us!"

Faced with the anxiety shown by Modu, Hu Lei just sneered.

"We have to stay here for a while. Mudu, tell me now, are you scared?" He lowered his head and glanced at Mudu's expression, and said in a cold voice.

"Me! How could I be afraid? I'm just worried that your plan to escape from the Immortal Boat will be thwarted. I can die here, but you, my lord, are the hope of the hunting group!"

"A fellow who flees in panic from the livestock—the herd shouldn't acknowledge him as their own!" Hu Lei scolded Mo Du. "Remember this. From the moment I leave the Prison of Hell, it's the Immortal Boat people who should be afraid! I'll make these feeble animals remember the fear they felt seven hundred years ago."

"Three generals, huh, I want to see how they will respond to my arrival."

While Hu Lei lectured Mo Du, he had already formulated a rough plan. The three Immortal Boat generals' formation looked formidable, but this was their heartland, and they certainly couldn't use their full strength.

In other words, even if they did take action, it was likely only one person would come forward to fight. The others would need to maintain order and protect the safety of their people. Therefore, they only needed to exploit their weaknesses, create panic, and then use the strategy of confusing the enemy to gain the upper hand.

Hu Lei believed that he needed to fight a war that would intimidate others. Otherwise, if he returned to the hunting group, he would not be a match for the "divine messenger" and would only become a puppet of the "divine messenger" to control the hunting group.

If it meant simply exchanging the cage of the Immortal Boat people for the prison built by this unknown divine messenger, Hu Lei would rather die in a hearty fight. At least that way, after arousing the hatred of the Immortal Boat people, the hunting group would have a chance to escape the divine messenger's control.

Then, the hunting group can choose a new leader to lead the hunting group back to the top.

Modu didn't know that Hu Lei's gaze had even focused on the future of the entire Buli hunting group. Although he was still unwilling to accept that his plan was denied, Hu Lei's words "the ones who should be afraid are the Xianzhou people" made him excited, as if he felt his blood boiling.

Finally, he no longer hesitated and completely gave his heart to Hu Lei.

Seeing that Modu had truly submitted to him, Hu Lei nodded slightly and turned to look at the ethnic groups in the team.

"Now, you blue boys, follow me!" He lowered his arms and walked out of his makeshift hiding place. "Let me teach you who is the hunter and who is the hunted!"

All of Hu Lei's movements were relayed to Jing Yuan, who was in charge of the Divine Strategy Palace, via the scattered skill birds. He had already calculated several escape routes from the Prison of Desolation and had placed spies along those routes.

Although he couldn't eavesdrop on the conversation between Hu Lei and his men, he just needed to know when Hu Lei would come out.

Because the next part of the plan does not need to consider Hu Lei's thoughts, General Feixiao, who is responsible for this part, will drive the wolf king to where he should go.

"General Feixiao, it's time to act."

Jing Yuan sent Fei Xiao a message, and then the Cloud Cavalry, acting as the civilians of the Immortal Ship, received orders to quickly take their positions and began taking drugs to resist the [wolfsbane]. They would set up a line of defense to block the Bu Li people and prevent them from escaping to other parts of the Immortal Ship.

At this point, Hu Lei had already set his sights on Changletian, home to the largest number of Xianzhou residents. The Xianzhou residents, also imbued with the Gift of Fertility, and the foxmen susceptible to Moon Madness, were his most valuable resources. Only in this way could he thoroughly muddy the waters of Xianzhou.

But someone was already there waiting for his arrival.

General Feixiao, carrying a weapon, was sitting near the main road where Dandingsi and Changletian met.

Volume 287: : Just a War Slave

Hu Lei had never seen General Tianji. During his time in the Galaxy Hunting Ground, many Xianzhou generals had not yet stepped onto this stage.

But as the most cunning, insidious and vicious leader of the Buli people, his keen sense of smell allowed him to instantly detect the strong aura emanating from this female fox person.
