Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Night Exploration of Longevity Square (Thanks to Hong Ming Xiao Tian Ge for the Reward)

At Yanhe Gate, the soldiers were astonished to find that their superior ’Li Ba’ had a late night meeting with Dalisi Cheng, Changan’s Dishonorable Handsome, and the physician who arrived last in the military tent.

They said it was to help investigate the plague.

According to the soldier who delivered the food, each of them had a small red bucket with light smoke coming out of it and a certain fragrance.

Could they be refining some kind of elixir to cure the plague? The soldiers of the Thousand Cattle Guard thought that they must ask their superior for some pills afterwards.

On the other hand, Li Changhe in the military tent naturally didn’t know what his subordinates were thinking about. At the moment, they were all eating instant noodles with a loud slurping sound.

After learning about Tang Dynasty’s food from Moon God, Li Changhe decisively took out his own emergency rations. The flamethrower, originally meant to kill rats, has become a tool for heating food.

Moon God put down the bucket noodles with satisfaction: "The Great Wall is really well prepared, even the food is ready. I was almost driven crazy in the past few days. Although the Tang Dynasty is powerful, their food is not really acceptable."

Li Changhe thought that it wouldn’t be instant noodles if the Great Wall prepared food, perhaps something like [Elf Biscuits] might also be possible.

After glancing at everyone and seeing they had finished eating, he said, "Then, let’s explore the area tonight. At least gather some information."

Moon God and others nodded slightly, this is Li Changhe’s considered immature idea.

After all, it’s indeed unsafe and immature to enter Longevity Square without knowing anything. But currently, this is the only way to gather information.

"Not bringing soldiers?" Moon God raised an eyebrow and asked, seeing Li Changhe leaving with a sword: "What excuse do you have for leaving?"

"It’s impossible to bring troops, my orders are to blockade Yanhe Gate. I have been given only a few soldiers, if I take some away, it would be too obvious." Li Changhe shook his head and said, "We can find a few reasons. I found out from Li Ba’s identity information that he has to patrol the surrounding area alone at night. This won’t be too obvious."

Heavy Fist nodded and said, "The boss is right. We should try to command as few subordinates and acquaintances of the ’characters’ as possible. If the NPC found us to be anomalous, it would be troublesome. Especially the boss, who has the most identity restrictions, must be extremely careful."

Now, the five [Players] have formed a close bond, and their relationships have greatly improved. They have perfected each other’s directions of actions.

Mo Mang flickered and left the camp. The Tang Dynasty did not look kindly upon chivalrous heroes, in their eyes chivalry with the weapon violated the prohibition. Mo Mang couldn’t be seen leaving Zhonglang General’s tent in broad daylight.

Li Changhe and the other three walked together, saying they wanted to patrol for a while and then send off the soldiers who wanted to follow them.

Walking through the ancient and wide streets, they gathered not far from Longevity Square.

There were still groups of patrolling soldiers passing by from time to time. It seems that even at night, the blockade in this area is very strict.

The [Players] did not enter Longevity Square rashly, as from the previous information, Longevity Square was very dangerous at night. An investigation must be done.

Li Changhe, hiding in the shadows, looked at the entrance of Longevity Square with narrowed eyes.

[Eagle’s Demon Eye] activated.

As the field of vision expanded, countless traces of light points appeared. These were the traces left by various organisms that had passed through this area.

Many traces quickly dissipated after appearing for a few seconds, probably because they were too old. Up to now, Li Changhe had not seen any strange scenes, after all, there were too many traces. In the case of Li Changhe not knowing the target, these trace light points seemed chaotic and numerous.

"After the incident happened, has anyone entered Longevity Square?" Li Changhe whispered.

"Yes, but they were all soldiers who went to rescue and evacuate the residents. I also went there during the day." Heavy Fist whispered, "On the first night I arrived, someone went to investigate, their identity was probably the personal guards or secret agents of some nobles. But in the end, several people went missing, and the rest were infected with the plague. After that, no one should have entered. The surrounding area was also blocked. At least no one entered on the surface."

Bai Luohe also whispered, "I came a day later than Heavy Fist and learned from the nearby inhabitants that some people felt the eaves make sounds at night. I guess some people have entered Longevity Square with some thoughts."

"After all, it’s a plotline task, in addition to us [Players], there will also be NPCs who are interested in this place." Li Changhe muttered to himself, and suddenly noticed several dark figures entering his vision, disappearing instantly into Longevity Square.

"Yo, speaking of which, they’ve come." Moon God smiled faintly with some secret method, "What do you say, follow them?"

"Someone has taken the lead for us... we must humbly accept." Li Changhe smirked, in the blink of an eye, his [Great Wall Mountain Armor] was replaced with an ordinary assault suit. The Mountain Armor was too noisy when walking.

"Let’s follow them and see what they are up to."

All five were [Players] with properties not too low. Even Li Changhe, the lowest level among them, was easily able to sneak into Longevity Square.

Tracking the whereabouts of the few people through Li Changhe’s [Eagle’s Demon Eye], Mo Mang’s skills concealed the [Players]’ breaths, all the way chasing the black-clothed people.

With the collaboration of multiple [Skills], the black-clothed people did not notice the [Players] following them.

They followed the trace of light points without any anomalies, and they hadn’t seen any plague rats yet. Can the plague rats only be seen under certain conditions?

Li Changhe was calculating in his heart when Mo Mang suddenly grabbed his shoulder and pulled his whole body into the shadows.

The other [Players] also hurriedly hid, as the targets of their tracking, the black-clothed people had already stopped.

They stopped in an alley deep inside Longevity Square, first looking around for a while. Then one of them slapped a thick wall with his palm.

The wall, at least 30 centimeters thick, shattered under his palm, causing the [Players]’ faces to change dramatically.

Even if the walls of the Tang Dynasty were not as strong as modern concrete, they were not much weaker.

To break such a wall, [Players] would need either to use firearm weapons or powerful offensive [Skills]. They didn’t expect their opponent to use just one palm...

So, this guy’s one palm is equivalent to a [Player]’s Skill?

"It’s a Transcendent..." Mo Mang whispered, "It’s dangerous if we couldn’t use [Skills] to hide."

Li Changhe nodded silently. Not only in historical dynasties, but also in modern society, there are Transcendents, which are the official research results of various countries. Those supernatural powers, such as Daoism and Buddhism, are also called Transcendents.

It is said that they are also related to [Evolution Game]. It seems to involve some topics like Transcendent Elements. Li Changhe had seen similar topics in the [forum], but he was not interested.

On the other side, after the black-clothed man broke the wall, it revealed a passage emitting a faint light. With the wall shattered, the entire Longevity Square began to stir, like a waking monster. Numerous sounds came from every corner, and countless red light points lit up.

"Damn, it’s troublesome." The [Players] turned pale, they didn’t want to confront the plague rats just yet.
