Chapter 1100
"Sure, my liege," Sloth was in the tent, alongside Panther and many others, "but…"
"What?"
"Fang is already tagging along," Panther suddenly said, "he is hiding himself from William, but I kept tracking him since that battle…"
"I don't think he got anything against that kid," the king explained why Panther was worried, "the lad told me Fang wanted to join his guild…"
"No way! That madman wants to join someone else?!!!" This wasn't just Panther's words, but Sloth and many others bellowed at the same time.
"I didn't believe it at first, but as you can tell, he is working like a watchdog for that kid," the king sighed, as he had tried a long time ago, tried many times already to recruit Fang, but failed.
"So…" Sloth paused, looked at the king and the latter got what he wanted to ask about.
"Fang alone isn't enough, and I doubt he'll do any trouble as long as that kid is around."
"Ok," everyone knew the temper of Fang. in addition to his infamy, he was also known for his harsh and hostile temper to anyone trying to meddle with his affairs.
Yet that was only limited to him going out to kill monsters, look for treasures, and such. Right now, he was just following William, and the king and others were going to help William, not interfere with Fang.
As the high-end masters agreed on what to do, the newly recruited members of the Fox guild moved alongside William and Anjie, heading towards one direction.
"Why here?" Everyone was puzzled, as William selected a direction and headed towards it. It was the same spot that got with his scary grand technique, the place where lots of mountains got crushed and the place looked like a lost tooth in the mouth of a monster.
Even if everyone wanted to ask, only Anjie could say it out loud to William.
"The entrance to this base will be well hidden," William knew this wasn't the typical dark master base everyone used to deal with, and that meant the entrances would be securely hidden under the bodies of the mountains, "If I was them, I'd let the tunnels be hidden under the mountains, only accessible after removing many rocks or activate some sort of an array."
"Then…" Anjie looked at the grand gathering of different-sized rocks, "How can we find it…"
"It's easy," unlike what others expected, William spoke in a carefree tone, "we'll just bombard the ground with lots of techniques. The place to show more damage than usual will be the place with an entrance underneath."
"This…" No one ever expected it to be this simple, "Isn't it so easy to do?!!"
"It's just logic," William shrugged, not seeing anything weird about his way, "select those with fierce techniques, ones that will place more pressure on the ground. Then let them start hitting the rocks, and others will examine the area of damage, looking for any abnormally damaged spots…"
William started to assign rules to everyone, putting the last touches on the plan in his mind.
The plan was simple. A team would move at the forefront, hitting everywhere without discrimination. They'd get elixirs to support their attacks, and then others would follow from behind.
Once a place was marked as a suspect, part of them would start removing rocks and unearthing the lower details there. Once they found an entrance, they'd shout at others and then they'd go inside.
It was indeed a simple plan, but executing it proved to be quite challenging and hard. They took hours to attack, with the help of William. He used his cannonball technique, and yet they needed almost ten hours until someone finally shouted: "We found it! It's here!"
"Good lad!" It wasn't William who said it, but Fang who tagged from behind. He watched William and others and listened to the simple and yet highly effective plan.
He liked this plan, as it was quite effective and wouldn't take lots of time and effort. In mere hours, they managed to find an entrance, a task that'd take long days from anyone else.
"That's it," William dashed fast and arrived in no time towards that spot. There he found a grand hole, dug by his guild masters, with a deeper and black opening at its end, "I'll go inside first, then you follow."
He said it without waiting for anyone to say their opinion. The opening was wide enough for a group of hundreds of masters to pass through, but William decided to go there solo.
Before Anjie could jump and follow him, William already vanished. "Damn! Why is he that good at running? Let's… Who are you?!!"
Just before she'd completed her words, something flashed by her side, a shadow that she didn't get its full features clearly. It passed so fast, and as it appeared out of thin air, without warning, and moved at such a high speed that made her unable to see anything of it, she felt threatened.
"Move, move fast! He is in danger!!" The next instant she shouted in distress, feeling deeply worried about him.
"Don't worry, that was Fang!" Just before anyone else would move a finger, a few silhouettes flashed with a familiar voice coming from one of them.
"Mentor Sloth? Why are you here?!! What's going on?!!!" Anjie was shocked to see a group of a hundred high-end masters, all belonging to her father, alongside many others who were on the way here.
"We came to help, what else?" Sloth rolled his eyes, "That kid is crazy! Thinking he can take the underground base of dark masters with such limited force? That's insane!"
"My father sent you?" She already guessed what happened, "How about the thing that moved inside? Enemy or a friend?"
"He is Fang," Sloth said, and his answer was enough to let Anjie heave a deep sigh of relief, "let's go, even if he has Fang on his side, it's not safe for him."
