Chapter 43

He didn’t use the EXP Pill previously because he was planning to make use of the level upgrade to recover from his injuries. Lin Yun did not expect to be able to kill magical beasts to level in the Epic Mission. Fortunately, he had deliberately kept his experience within 100 points to a level upgrade. Otherwise, his plan wouldn’t have worked.

8 PM was the broadcast time of “Where are we going, Mecha”. If Lin Yun was not wrong, the guards would gather to watch the show. It was quite possible that he would be able to sneak out without alerting them.

Lin Yun found an identity card from Wang Er’s body, threw Wang Er into the cell, and moved towards the gate.

On the way, Lin Yun moved very cautiously. His footsteps were light, but his speed was fast. He knew that sooner or later, someone would realize that he had escaped from his cell. He was in a race against time now. Fortunately, he did not meet any patrolling guards along the way.

As he traveled, Lin Yun arrived at the prison gate. Looking around, a large group of people was squeezing into the small guard hall to watch the TV program on Mango TV station. They were shouting and complaining. Everyone was in high spirits.

No wonder he had not met any guards, they were all here!

Lin Yun held his breath and slowly bypassed the group of people and quietly went to the gate. From the beginning to the end, none of the Demon Race people noticed him.

He finally came to the gate and swiped Wang Er’s ID card into the sensor.

“Yes!” Lin Yun was overjoyed as the iron gate slowly opened outward.

Suddenly, a piercing siren rang out in the Blue Prison.

“Warning, jailbreak!”

The group of guards in the guard hall responded quickly. They picked up their weapons and looked around. Soon, someone discovered Lin Yun at the gate.

“Who is this kid? He doesn’t look like one of ours.”

“Lord Song sent that kid here. If he escapes we’re all done for!”

“Quick, fire at his legs!”

In an instant, the muzzles of countless pulse guns flashed blue and holes appeared on the metal wall next to Lin Yun. The pulse guns were amazingly powerful!

This was bad! Lin Yun was in danger. At the crucial moment, he calmly punched the sensor and jumped through the gap in the half-open gate.

“Hurry, go after him. He’s not familiar with the place, he won’t get far.”

“Why can’t the gate be opened? The helicopter can’t get out with such a small opening.”

“The human damaged the sensor with a punch. Hurry, get someone to repair it.”

…

Soon, the fat Blue Prison Warden ran toward the gate, panting.

“You’re all idiots. There are so many of you and yet you let Lin Yun escape. If Lord Song finds out, he will take your heads off and use them as urinals!” The fat man roared at the group of guards anxiously.

The flesh on his face wobbled as he shouted loudly pointing at the half-open gate. “What’s wrong with this gate?”

Wiping sweat from his face, a guard replied, “The sensor was smashed by that human. We have called for someone to repair it, but it will take at least three hours. Should we contact the armed forces from the nearby city?”

The fat man slapped the other man in the face and said angrily, “Do you want more people to know about this? Notify them and Lord Song will hear about it immediately. Then he will immediately kill me! Move out, all of you. Search the entire area within a hundred-meter radius. The kid is not familiar with the roads around here, he certainly will not be able to get far.”

“Yes!”

Numerous guards with pulse guns in hand rushed out of the gate. They ran off in all directions and began the search for Lin Yun.

At this time, Lin Yun had come to an icy cold river.

“According to the map, this should be the river. Hopefully, the map provided in the Epic Mission is correct.” Lin Yun paused for a while in thought, then jumped into the river.

The icy cold river water quickly enveloped Lin Yun. Although the river water was not frozen, its temperature was definitely below zero. The bitter cold seemed to be attempting to freeze Lin Yun solid.

Lin Yun shivered and quickly swam towards the upper reaches of the river. After a while, he saw his destination.

A huge drain.

According to the map, this drain was an outlet pipe of the underground drainage system of a nearby city. If he entered this drain, he would be able to get to the city sewer. Then, he could just enter the city and disappear into the crowd. Demon Race beings were not much different from Humans. Once Lin Yun lost himself in the city, Song Junming might not be able to find him.

Lin Yun took a deep breath and quickly dived into the drain. He immediately entered a narrow metal pipe. After swimming in the pipe for a few minutes, he felt the pressure above his head lessen. Bringing his head above water, he saw that he had come to an empty space. A stale smell rushed into Lin Yun’s nose, making him sneeze.

“This is the city’s drainage system?”

As Lin Yun thought, he explored the dark space around him with his Spirit. With this investigation, he clearly felt that his Spiritual Strength had greatly improved. It seemed to be close to Level 4.

“So that was it.” Lin Yun felt that his Spirit exploration was able to go farther, explore a wider area, and provide more refined results. He was overjoyed. “The attribute boost Xiao Leng gave me in the Epic Mission is still active in real life.”

In the past, the maximum range of Lin Yun’s Spiritual exploration was just a little more than 100 meters. It was now 300 meters. He explored the surroundings with his Spirit and walked in the direction the sewage flow was coming from.

The smell coming from the sewage was exceptionally bad. From time to time, Lin Yun would step on some garbage. He suppressed his uneasiness and walked a few kilometers into the sewer.

Gradually, the road under his feet became wider and wider, and some creatures such as mice began to appear. Suddenly, Lin Yun felt a much stronger life force. It seemed that there was a person upfront.

At this time, there was already a little bit of light in the sewer. Lin Yun stared hard at the figure. The person walked on all fours and had a tail more than two meters long behind him.

It was not human, what kind of creature was this?

Suddenly, the creature seemed to have noticed Lin Yun and rushed towards him. It moved quickly in the sewer like a flying gecko and quickly reached Lin Yun.

It had green scales, yellow eyes, and looked just like a giant lizard.

The Lizardman stretched out his dark right claw and grabbed Lin Yun. The claw moved fast, making a whooshing sound as it cut through the air. Lin Yun suspected that the claw was probably as hard as steel and the power of one swipe would be enough to shatter a boulder.

Lin Yun quickly stepped back, avoiding the claw.

The weird Lizardman missed. He ended up on the ground and turned around. His over two-meter-long giant tail lashed at Lin Yun like a huge leather whip. The sound it made was like someone swinging a huge building beam at him.

Lin Yun jumped over the giant tail. Unexpectedly, the Lizardman’s tail was extremely flexible. It changed direction in mid-air and instead curled around Lin Yun’s legs. Then, the Lizardman leaped into the sewage and was about to pull Lin Yun into the dirty water.

The webbing on the rear limbs of the Lizardman made it obvious they were made for swimming. It would be harder to fight him in the water. Lin Yun stepped forcefully on the ground with both feet, then grasped his tail with both hands and pulled hard against the Lizardman.

“Hey!”

He shouted and pulled the Lizardman out of the sewage with brute force.

“Kwang!”

Lin Yun smashed the Lizardman hard on a nearby metal pipe. It made a deafening sound that echoed in the narrow sewer.

The Lizardman seemed to have been knocked dizzy. He stood up unsteadily, shaking his head forcefully.

This was a good opportunity! Lin Yun quickly rushed in front of the Lizardman, grabbed his long lizard neck, and hit his head with his right fist.

Lin Yun’s Physical Attack was 39, which meant about 390 KG of punching power. Lin Yun’s punch hit the Lizardman’s head like a huge steel dumbbell.

“Boom!”

Lin Yun had made the Lizardman’s head explode with his attack.

Green blood splashed on the back of Lin Yun’s hand and he felt a sudden flare of heat. It seemed that the Lizardman’s blood was weakly toxic.

“It seems I have to be careful not to get injured when fighting such creatures. The wound might get contaminated with his blood which may be poisonous.”

Lin Yun threw the Lizardman’s body into the water and prepared to move on. However, hissing sounds suddenly came from all directions. It sounded like there were countless poisonous snakes around, hissing constantly.

Clatter!

Suddenly, the whole sewer became bright. Lin Yun saw that there was a light shining brightly above his head.

In the light, he could see the surroundings clearly. The hissing noises were made by numerous hostile looking Lizardmen.

There were Lizardmen all around Lin Yun. He had been surrounded!

“No humans have been here for a long time. I miss the taste of human flesh.”

A cold wave of spiritual fluctuation came from the front. Lin Yun looked up and saw a Lizardman in front of him. His size was exactly double that of other Lizardmen and his scales shone darkly like protective hard armor. The tips of his claws were pointed and long and looked as if they would be able to shred steel. Other Lizardmen clustered around him. It would seem that he was the King of the Sewer Lizardmen.

It stared at Lin Yun with a pair of cold yellow eyes and sent a message in spiritually, “Defeat me and you may leave. Otherwise, become my food!”
