Seizing the Chaos, Breaking into the Castle!

There are virtually no protrusions on the walls behind the castle, making it almost impossible to enter without specialized tools.

If it weren't for the fact that the figure below was dressed in black, creating a striking contrast with the white snow below the castle, Su Mo would have had a hard time spotting him at a glance.

The figures below also seemed to be examining the castle wall, studying how to climb up this smooth back wall.

Three to five minutes passed, until Su Mo's eyes were starting to ache from watching, when the figure finally made a move.

Upon seeing this, Su Mo burst out laughing.

It was nothing other than the fact that this "Black-Clothed Man" had actually used the same effective method that Su Mo had used when attacking the lion-man camp!

Dig a hole!

He wanted to dig a hole under the Kobold Castle?

Even Su Mo felt a headache coming on when he saw the Black-Clothed Man actually starting to dig out the hole with a shovel.

Not to mention how deep the foundation is beneath such a huge castle, how could one possibly dig through the frozen ground with just a shovel?

At this time, the area behind the Kobold Castle can be described as "a quiet oasis amidst the hustle and bustle".

The Black-Clothed Man was fast, so Su Mo simply continued to lie down and survey his surroundings, while also keeping watch for any movement nearby.

The number of lion-men who had been chased for two days now appears to have increased rather than decreased, perhaps due to some extraordinary encounter.

At this time, the kobolds attacked at night. Despite the presence of warlocks and weapons like gunpowder, the two sides fought fiercely and evenly.

Time ticked by, but the fire showed no signs of stopping.

Just as Su Mo was admiring the dog-headed man putting out the fire, Oreo, who was also lying on the side, let out two soft whimpers.

"Huh? Holy crap, they actually managed to dig it in?"

The shadowy figure below struggled for almost half an hour. When Su Mo looked down at the city wall again, half of the figure had already cleverly slipped into the hole. With a gentle push off the ground with its hind legs, it slid into the castle!

At the same time, Su Mo could also see the land below the city walls clearly.

It wasn't a mix of bricks and stones as expected, nor was there any concrete pouring; the castle was simply made of soil underneath!

If the system catches such a building that defies the common sense of mechanics and architecture, it will definitely have dozens of complaints.

"This is ridiculous! Castles are made of earth, how were they even constructed?!"

Seeing that the figure had actually dug inside, Su Mo quickly took out the map drawn by Marshall to check the structure of the first floor inside the castle!

The first floor is the Living Level for the kobolds, where most of the Kobold Warrior live.

The design of these rooms lacks any aesthetic appeal of a human castle; most of the rooms are crammed together, one after another.

"No wonder Maeda Kento never wanted to go back to the Kobold Castle after his first visit."

"With this design, plus all the kobolds defecating in the castle, it only takes a week for the fumes to ferment and suffocate people inside!"

Even without entering, just by looking at the map, Su Mo could vaguely sense the stench inside.

Following the map, Su Mo quickly found the location after entering the castle through the pit, based on the scale of the hand-drawn map.

This location happens to be inside a Kobold Warrior's room.

Given the chaotic battle situation outside, the Kobold Warrior must have come out in full force, so there are probably no enemies inside the room.

The only slightly tricky part is that this room is inside the Kobold Castle, and you have to go through six rooms and a corridor of nearly 50 meters to reach the stairs to the second floor.

Upon reaching the second and third floors, one finds the dwellings of the Kobold Warlock. And the staircase leading from the second to the third floor is inexplicably located on the city wall! This is absurd! "I'm not looking anymore. If I keep looking, those Black Thief ahead will probably steal all the good stuff. Since we're taking advantage of the chaos now, and we can't go up, we'll just retreat and make further plans!"

With so many monsters, Su Mo really wanted to send Dongfeng Express to show them what divine justice was.

However, considering the thought of wasting such a powerful weapon on a group of monsters with a combat strength of less than 5, Su Mo quickly dismissed the idea.

"Oreo, you stay here and guard the Earth Tiger. Be a good boy and wait for me. If there's any danger, run away and don't worry about me!"

With a smile, Su Mo gently stroked Oreo's dog head. Seeing Oreo's reluctant yet obedient expression, Su Mo slowly stood up from the ground, pulled down his mask, and his eyes instantly hardened.

He pulled out two K-1 Handgun, tucked them into his Combat Suit, took out his Fine Iron Electric Spear, and with a light slide, Su Mo slid down the earthen slope behind him.

Ice crystals had already formed on the pure white snowflakes, making a soft, popping sound as they rubbed against the armor.

Improved physical fitness not only brings a direct increase in strength, but also a series of other invisible benefits.

At the same time, the reason why Su Mo had the courage to enter the tiger's den alone was due to his already terrifying athletic ability, which was enhanced by his overall coordination.

With the pit right in front of him, he rolled over, instantly dissipating the force of his slide and coming to a steady stop in front of the pit.

Instead of walking through the already dug pit, they quickly walked about five meters away to the room next door.

With a thought, a high-quality shovel appeared in Su Mo's hand.

Su Mo didn't know what kind of shovel the Black Thief used, but its efficiency certainly couldn't compare to the super iron shovel crafted on this workbench.

With the first shovel strike, a flash of light appeared, and the shovel triggered a critical hit.

The once hard Frozen Soil is now as soft as tofu; a single shovelful can create a large pit.

The Black Thief spent nearly half an hour digging the pit, but less than three minutes later, an even more outrageous hole appeared next to the previous pit.

This hole is about half a person deep; you can pass through it simply by crouching down!

Putting away the shovel, taking out some Psionic Water a few mouthfuls, resting for a couple of minutes to recover his strength, Su Mo glanced at the still fierce fighting outside, and crouched down as he quickly darted into the pit.

Stinky! Dirty! Messy! This was Su Mo's first reaction upon entering the Kobold Warrior' quarters!

Even on one side of the room, the kobold's excrement was piled up in the corner, only three to five meters away from the straw mat he was lying on.

The mask, designed to protect against toxic fumes, seemed to have lost most of its effectiveness against the stench that could knock people unconscious.

Even if this race gains an early advantage, it's impossible for them to turn the tide in the late game.

"Although they have humanoid bodies, their filthy souls still retain the habits of beasts. Such creatures can never become the masters of the wasteland!"

Covering his mouth and nose with one hand, Su Mo discerned the direction and first arrived at the next room, which was the entrance to the hole dug by the Black Thief.

Sure enough, a homemade animal trap was placed conspicuously at the entrance of the cave.

If anyone tries to crawl through the hole, they will be caught in the clamp and die instantly.

"He's ruthless. Judging from the sophistication of the bear trap's manufacturing, he's likely just as formidable in combat!"

In the wasteland, how can humans survive without being ruthless?

Similarly, this is also the best way to judge a person's combat strength. Those so-called saints, without the protagonist's halo, probably wouldn't even survive a week in the apocalypse!

With the animal trap blocking the doorway, Su Mo glanced outside the door and followed with peace of mind.

The first-floor camp was not complicated, and the Black Thief chose to push forward directly.

Following the stairs leading to the second floor, after walking through three rooms, Su Mo finally saw the first dead dog-headed man.

This is a dog-headed man who is already disabled, missing an arm, and it is precisely for this reason that he does not have to rush out to fight in this disaster.

But at this moment, a long gash had been cut into his neck, and blood was still gushing out.

Lowering his head and shining the flashlight, Su Mo carefully examined the wound on the dog-headed man's neck.

"A single, fatal blow; the wound is only on the neck. Initial assessment suggests it was from a sword or similar weapon, but a dagger cannot be ruled out."

"The wound is not deep and has not torn the surrounding skin tissue; there are two possibilities."

The battles on the wasteland over the past few days, coupled with Su Mo's frequent reflections on his shortcomings after each battle, have given him a basic sense of combat awareness.

This knife wound reveals a lot of information.

The wound wasn't deep, which either meant the Black Thief had a high level of combat awareness and a very sharp weapon, allowing him to inflict damage with minimal effort, or it meant he lacked strength!

If Su Mo had been wielding a knife, the kobold's entire head would have been blown off with a single strike; it certainly wouldn't have resulted in such a small wound.

With his doubts in mind, Su Mo waited no longer, then withdrew the electric spear and drew out the Electric Crossbow and pistol!

If the opponent is truly a player with superior combat awareness, close combat would be far too disadvantageous, far less effective than these two weapons! The journey was fraught with danger, but by the time the second staircase appeared before Su Mo, the number of kobold monsters that had perished along the way had already exceeded nine! Every strike was deadly, and every kobold's fatal wound was to its neck, further solidifying Su Mo's belief that the Black Thief was a master! "Very well, then you'll be my laborer!"

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and Su Mo nimbly ascended the stairs.

Once they reached the second floor, Su Mo quickly slipped into the adjacent room and observed the situation on the second floor from the side.

To get to the third floor, you must go up the city wall.

At this moment, there were a large number of Kobold Warlock on the city wall, and breaking through would definitely not be an easy task! Just as Su Mo was wondering, a fiery red fireball suddenly appeared in his line of sight, and at the same time, the mournful cries of the kobolds were heard.

If one were not inside the castle, in the outside world filled with shouts of battle and the sound of wind, one would certainly not hear such a sound.

The next second, the figure of the Black Thief reappeared in the room from which the fireball was launched.

"Alright! Let's see how you get to the third floor this time!"

Standing sideways inside the doorway, Su Mo waited quietly. Sure enough, the Black Thief's actions did not disappoint Su Mo.

He actually found a way to get to the third floor without going through the city wall!
