"They're here!"
The moment the alarm sounded, Ye Feng's eyes snapped open.
The corridor was eerily silent. Even though Ye Feng's alarm was a considerable distance from the two burly men sent by Lin Senhai, they still heard it.
The two burly men exchanged glances and quickened their pace towards the room where Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao were.
"Bang! Bang~"
"Ugh~ Ugh~"
But they hadn't taken more than a few steps before two muffled thuds echoed, followed by two suppressed groans of pain.
Ye Feng had swiftly knocked out the two burly men and then dragged them to a room opposite their previous location.
"Swish~"
Ye Feng tore down the curtains and bedsheets from the room, twisted them tightly into a rope, and securely bound the two burly men to stone chairs.
Then, he took out a bottle of cold water and splashed it onto their faces.
"Who? Who?"
One of the bald, burly men woke up, scanning his surroundings in alarm. Upon seeing Ye Feng, he calmed down.
"Kid, you dare lay a hand on me? Let me go at once!"
The other man with a receding hairline, after a brief moment of shock, also became cocky.
"Do you eat human flesh?"
Ye Feng's voice was devoid of emotion.
"Oh? Kid, it seems you already know?!"
The man with the receding hairline seemed surprised that Ye Feng knew this.
"Kid, since you know we're from the Klayden Cannibal Legion, why aren't you letting us go already?"
"If you do, we'll give you a quick end when we eat you,"
"Otherwise, I'll personally skin you alive, drink your blood, and eat your flesh!"
The bald man shouted, his expression cruel and frenzied.
"Klayden Cannibal Legion?"
Ye Feng frowned.
He remembered the words "Klayden University" he'd seen on the plaque at the entrance of this spherical castle earlier.
"Kid, you t-"
"Stringing up copper bells with thin ropes and setting them up throughout the castle as alarms?"
Looking at the small copper bells above his head that were emitting sounds with the slightest movement of the rope, Ye Feng narrowed his eyes.
"Search thoroughly! We've stationed men at every intersection. They're still inside this castle!"
"As long as we follow the Hellhound, they won't be able to escape!"
At this moment, the sound of people running and a large animal moving could be heard from afar.
"Hellhound? No wonder no matter how we run, we're always tracked!"
Ye Feng quickly understood.
He had obtained the castle's map from the bald man earlier and had devised an escape route.
He believed that once he evaded a wave of pursuit, there would be an opening to escape, but he had been continuously followed...
"Big Brother, it looks like we're surrounded~"
Just then, Xiao Xiao, who was beside Ye Feng, whispered into his ear, her expression laced with worry.
"It's fine!"
Ye Feng smiled faintly at her, pulled out his Tang blade, cut a large hole in the wall, and then quickly carried Xiao Xiao through.
"Holy shit!"
Ye Feng had intended to cut through the walls all the way to escape, but the scene that greeted him on the other side made him curse.
