Chapter 172: Escaping Prison Again
Chapter 172: Escaping Prison Again
Aulde?
Had this guy forgotten that just a few days ago, it was he who caused their prison escape to fail?
Oh, right. They had only seen Sesshylow once, but they hadn’t seen what Chen Mo looked like.
Now Aulde and his group wanted to escape again… Hehe. Letting them out to draw attention seemed like a good idea.
“Helping you isn’t impossible, but what can you give me as a reward?” Chen Mo walked over to the cell that held Aulde and asked.
“Brave adventurer, we are prisoners now, and almost everything was taken from us. But don’t worry! We are all important officials of the Yuedora Kingdom. If you set us free, the reward will surely satisfy you!” Aulde saw Chen Mo approach and quickly replied.
Damn it!
It was an empty promise, one that could never be fulfilled!
Forget about what the Yuedora Kingdom had become—once this guy was out, there was no way he could go back to get any reward.
He was a traitor to the Yuedora Kingdom. Wouldn’t he be killed if he returned? How could he give any reward at all!
“No way. I heard that the Yuedora Kingdom has been taken over, but Princess Peraldili escaped. She is hunting for a traitor named Aulde. Isn’t that your name?” Chen Mo shook his head repeatedly, showing a look that feared they might not pay the reward.
Actually, Chen Mo was making it up. He hadn’t even heard of the Yuedora Kingdom’s name since leaving.
“Adventurer, that’s a misunderstanding! The princess mistook me. How could I betray her? I know you might not believe me. How about this: if you set us free, I will give you this ‘Yuedora Crown’! It is a headpiece worn by past queens of the Yuedora Kingdom. It’s extremely precious. Take it to the kingdom, and you can exchange it for a huge reward!”
Aulde gritted his teeth, dug a wooden box from inside his cell’s back wall, and brought out a jeweled crown stored inside.
The crown shone with flowing light. Its golden edges were studded with lots of gems and diamonds. It was very valuable.
So it was the real thing!
Chen Mo went there hoping to squeeze whatever he could from Aulde. Even if Aulde really had nothing to offer, he would take the task. But he never expected Aulde to give him something so great.
“I can only agree to let you out. As for rescuing you fully, I’m not strong enough for that yet.” Chen Mo thought a bit and said.
“Fine. As long as you release us, this Yuedora Crown is yours!” Aulde agreed at once. He didn’t expect this weak adventurer to get them out of the Hunting Grounds anyway.
System Notification: You have accepted the quest “Rescue Aulde”!
Quest: Rescue Aulde
Quest Difficulty: Rank B
Quest Content: Set Aulde and the other imprisoned Yuedora officials free from the Crimson Prison.
Quest Deadline: 10 days
Quest Reward: Yuedora Crown
After the System Notification appeared, Chen Mo checked the quest details and conditions to make sure they were correct. Then he nodded firmly and said, “Mr. Aulde, don’t worry. We adventurers don’t ask for reasons. As long as you can pay the reward, everything will be fine!”
“Everything depends on you now, adventurer!” Aulde nodded repeatedly, thinking this young adventurer seemed much more honest.
After accepting the quest, Chen Mo went back to his old way. He ran to the valley entrance and sent Sesshylow out alone to find and kill crimson monsters.
With his past experience, Chen Mo did this easily. After all, he had done this nonstop for four days previously. Only five days had passed since then, so it was hard to forget.
Five days ago, Sesshylow was only Level 18. Now she was Level 25, three levels higher than the average monster, so she killed the crimson monsters much faster.
Every time Sesshylow killed a monster, Chen Mo would call her back to take him to pick up the dropped Crimson Crystals.
Aulde’s cell was clearly stronger now, so Chen Mo needed many Crimson Crystals. But he had time, so he wasn’t in a rush.
At the valley entrance, he kept killing monsters until early the next morning before logging out to go for a run.
“Sir Dunis, that hunter really went to the Bloody Prison. He took the quest to release Aulde and his group.” Not long after Chen Mo logged out, La Xia reported to Dunis in the Land of Exile.
“Good! Well done! That annoying hunter ruined everything before. Now he dares to show up so openly! He doesn’t take me seriously! Normally, I can’t touch him. But if we catch him in the act while releasing prisoners, I can punish him however I want!”
A flash of gloom swept across Dunis’s pale face.
Chen Mo rescuing Aulde turned out to be a trap set by Dunis.
“Adventurer Brother, you’re here!”
After his workout, Chen Mo ate breakfast, logged in, and went with Sesshylow to the large lake where Haiweila lived.
Haiweila had been waiting for him early. When she saw him arrive, she happily opened her clamshell and let him walk in.
As soon as Chen Mo sat down, Haiweila quickly parted her legs and sat facing him on his thigh.
Chen Mo almost bled from his nose. Seriously, where did Haiweila learn this? With this sitting position, even the slightest response from his lower body could almost reach straight into her most private place.
“Adventurer Brother, didn’t you want to massage me in front? I thought sitting this way would make it easier.” Seeing Chen Mo look at her, Haiweila explained sheepishly. Then she said, “Should I sit the way I did yesterday?”
After that, she started to stand up.
“No, stay like this. You’re right. It’s easier this way.” Chen Mo held Haiweila down.
“Okay.” Haiweila agreed and closed her eyes.
Chen Mo put both hands on her and cupped her breasts as he started to massage them.
No matter when he saw that innocent, unknowing face, he still felt a twinge of guilt.
But as Haiweila let out soft moans, that small guilt flew away from Chen Mo.
Chen Mo didn’t do anything more extreme, not that he didn’t want to, but he couldn’t.
He once tried to move his hand down Haiweila’s thighs, but the System Notification told him his Favorability wasn’t high enough. He couldn’t touch her at all, so he just sighed.
Even though their pose was so intimate now, he knew he couldn’t do more. Besides, she was just a small NPC, so Chen Mo couldn’t react much.
“Okay, today’s progress is even better than yesterday’s! I feel like after two more times, I can walk out of this clamshell!”
After finishing the round, Haiweila stood up as her strength returned and said excitedly.
System Notification: Haiweila’s Favorability toward you has increased by 10 points!
“Get some rest. I’ll come back tomorrow.”
With the Favorability increase of ten points, Chen Mo suddenly felt very motivated.
But he stuck to his plan. He swam out from the lake bottom and walked back to the valley with Sesshylow.
Along the way, he noted down monsters he saw. Back in the valley, he sent Sesshylow out to hunt and kill monsters.
The day passed quickly, and the third day arrived.
Chen Mo repeated what he did the past two days: he found Haiweila, helped her grow faster, and as she sat facing him on his thigh with her mouth slightly open, he tried kissing her deeply. Haiweila seemed to like it a lot and said it worked very well.
When Chen Mo left, Haiweila’s Favorability increased by another 10 points.
Then Chen Mo returned to the valley to kill monsters.
Just like that, five days flew by.
It was a little past three in the afternoon on the fifth day. Inside the Bloody Prison valley, Chen Mo took out many Crimson Crystals and handed them to Aulde and the others.
“These are the promised Crimson Crystals, enough for you to break the magic array and walk out. I suggest you get out early. Once the Crimson Poison Mist clears, leave immediately, or guards will chase you soon.”
“Haha, brave adventurer, thank you! No need to remind us—we’ve had an escape plan ready! But you must have worked hard. How did you get so many Crimson Crystals in such a short time!” Aulde took the Crimson Crystals and laughed loudly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Loud bangs sounded as several blood-colored prisons shattered one by one. Aulde led the way out.
“Adventurer, here’s your reward, the Yuedora Crown!”
Holding the Yuedora Crown, Aulde seemed reluctant to part with it. But he knew it wasn’t much use to him anymore now.
System Notification: You have obtained the item “Yuedora Crown”.
“Thank you all. I’ll head out now. Wish you a safe journey!”
After getting his reward, Chen Mo smiled and said goodbye.
He summoned Sesshylow. She quickly coiled around him, and they walked out of the valley.
That pet looked familiar.
Right! It was the same pet that human race Hunter had ten days ago!
“Kill him!” Aulde roared!
That guy was the enemy they had cursed so many times!
But when they rushed to the valley entrance, Chen Mo was already far away.
Aulde started to feel a bit uneasy, but he hardened his heart and decided to charge at the Hunting Grounds gate again. He would act as soon as the Crimson Poison Mist faded!
“As soon as the Crimson Poison Mist clears, go catch that hunter and Aulde who tried to escape!”
In the Land of Exile, Dunis shouted at the higher-ups.
He wouldn’t repeat the mistake of ten days ago! This time, if that hunter couldn’t kill the gate guards, he had no chance of leaving the Hunting Grounds!
He had collected plenty of evidence of the hunter’s crimes. Once caught, Dunis could do whatever he wanted!
“Alright, I’m taking you out today.”
Chen Mo swam into the large lake and after handling things, Haiweila successfully walked out of the clamshell.
The discarded clamshell could still be useful. Chen Mo glanced at it and put it into his backpack.
“Let’s go.”
Before the Crimson Poison Mist faded, Chen Mo used Sesshylow to carry Haiweila, and they headed toward the wall of the Hunting Grounds.
