Infiltration

As for where to hide, Bai Xiaowen already had a plan.

Currently, the Snakefolk Tribe has deployed its main force outside the wall, leaving the inside of the wall vulnerable.

Therefore, now is the best time to infiltrate the wall! After infiltrating, Bai Xiaowen can further learn about the secrets of the Snakefolk Tribe and prepare for the final battle, where the true intentions will be revealed.

In this situation, it becomes essential to use an A+ grade item: Skin of Metamorphosis.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi each used one use of the Skin of Metamorphosis, entering a 30-second invisibility state. It should be noted that the same item has a 30-second cooldown when used by the same person, but this restriction does not apply when used by different people. Of course, this assumes the item itself is tradable.

This stealth effect is incredibly powerful, equivalent to a three-star skill priority! After Bai Xiaowen used it, her stealth priority reached 7 points, and Li Shuyi had 6 points! Even if they were right under the BOSS's nose, they wouldn't be detected, unless the opponent's mental attributes were absolutely Suppression, or they had a high-priority detection skill.

While the Snakefolk troops were being mobilized out of the city, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi slipped inside the walls. The crowded buildings inside the walls were excellent hiding places, and moreover, most of the Snakefolk Tribe had gone out at this time, greatly reducing the chances of being discovered.

Before their 30-second invisibility expired, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi hid in a Snakefolk's wooden hut near the central area. Bai Xiaowen summoned the Shadow Assassin again and cautiously began to investigate the situation inside the Snakefolk Tribe.

With Bai Xiaowen's current 50 points of Spirit, his effective control range over summoned creatures has exceeded one kilometer.

The Shadow Assassin stealthily moved between the empty houses and roads. Bai Xiaowen sat in the wooden house, sharing its view and observing the layout of the Snakefolk Tribe through the Shadow Assassin's perspective.

In the central area of the Snakefolk Tribe, there was a tall altar, and a huge Many-Headed Snake statue stood majestically. Bai Xiaowen counted them, and good heavens, this Many-Headed Snake statue actually had nine heads.

Near the central altar, there was a tall, six-armed female Snakefolk. Compared to other female Snakefolk, she was not only much taller, but also dressed in much more luxurious clothes. Her snake hair was tied into a thin braid, which was decorated with pearls, scallops and other ornaments.

Bai Xiaowen didn't dare let the Shadow Assassin get close. The Shadow Assassin's stealth priority wasn't high, and it couldn't escape the scan of Boss Tier with Mental Specialty.

After only a brief glance from afar, Bai Xiaowen controlled the Shadow Assassin to turn around.

"Hmm?" The six-armed Snakefolk tilted her head and glanced in the direction where the Shadow Assassin had disappeared.

Before her, a burly, muscular male Snakefolk warrior asked, "Ms. Eliki, what's wrong?"

The six-armed Snakefolk, Eliki, shook her head and said, "I just had a feeling of being spied on. Maybe I'm being too sensitive. Kasares, haven't you found the two intruders who destroyed the Crystal Formation yet?"

The male Snakefolk warrior, Kasares, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Eliki, no patrols have encountered them yet. However, it's only a matter of time before we find them."

Eliki looked into the distance with some worry. Dozens of spatial portals of varying sizes had appeared at the boundary between the Internal Isolation Array and the Pale Mire, with Ghost Mist surging around them. Some of these portals already showed traces of awakened beings.

"Damn intruders! They shattered the precious crystal pillar and even took the crystal with them! Without the crystal, I can't repair the magic array in a short time..." Eliki said through gritted teeth, "They must pay the price!"

Kasares: "I'm sorry, madam, but based on our past experience, these outsiders can always leave this space when faced with a life-or-death crisis. In other words, unless they do something foolish, it will be very difficult for us to kill them. I'm afraid the secrets of the Amotawa Tribe will be revealed to the outsiders."

"Then drive them all away as soon as possible..." the Snakefolk Eliki said, suppressing her anger. "I need a stable environment to rebuild the Crystal Formation."

"Based on the experience of the Lobsterfolk, these invaders don't actually stay in the Pale Mire for long. Generally, they will all leave within three days. This is a pattern that Majik discovered," Kasares said.

Eliki shrieked, "You want me to put up with them for three days? No way! Get rid of them all! Kill any who don't want to leave!"

Kasares could only lightly pound his chest with his large fist and say, "Yes, ma'am."

Beyond the isolation array lies a pale, Pale Mire.

As time went on, more and more awakened individuals discovered the suddenly appearing spatial portals.

Because they had the trump card of being able to return at any time in the Dead Spirit Lake Treasure Ground Space, the Awakened were quite bold and stepped into the spatial gate one after another.

"So there's more to this Pale Mire than meets the eye."

"Isn't that Naga from the game? No, the proper name should be Snakefolk, and they're hiding in the Pale Mire."

"Wow, every Snakefolk is Elite Tier!"

Soon, the Awakened Ones encountered the Snakefolk patrol. The Awakened Ones, lacking strength, were defeated on the spot by these fierce Elite Snakefolk and had to return to their original positions. Only by banding together for mutual support could they deal with the Snakefolk patrol.

Even Elite Class can't fight alone, let alone challenge a patrol team composed of several Elite Snakefolk. In fact, even Hero Class would find it difficult to take on several Elite Tier of the same level alone; not every Hero Class is as monstrous as Bai Xiaowen.

Qi Ruifeng, Bao Yiming, Duanmucheng... the three Hero Class each led a team of awakened individuals, rapidly advancing towards the Snakefolk Tribe.

The Hero Class weren't fools, of course. When they discovered the portal, they realized something: this unusual situation, which had never appeared in any records, meant that someone had definitely triggered the secrets of the Pale Mire.

Upon entering the spatial portal and discovering the Snakefolk Tribe, Qi Ruifeng and the others were filled with awe, but also a burning anxiety, worried that someone might get there first and seize the greatest benefits from the Snakefolk Tribe.

Who will be the one to trigger the secrets within the Pale Mire and expose the hidden Snakefolk Tribe to the world?

Although Qi Ruifeng and the other two Hero Class have not yet met to exchange information, they have almost all thought of one person.

"It must be Bai Xiaowen. He triggered the hidden secret of the Snakefolk Tribe," Qi Ruifeng said cautiously as he led Li Sheng, Ruan Chong, and the others forward. "I know Duanmucheng and Bao Yiming very well. They don't have this ability. These two have been to the Dead Spirit Lake before, and they've never encountered such a strange situation. Bai Xiaowen is indeed no simpleton."

Li Sheng laughed and said, "Who cares? This actually makes things easier for us. Such a large Snakefolk Tribe, even if Bai Xiaowen has a huge appetite, he couldn't swallow it all."
