Global Lords: I Have Information System-Chapter 457 - 342: Professional Kidnappers, Shafuri’s Crisis

The jar flickered with black light and trembled slightly, as if something had been drawn into it.

Zong Shen didn't have time to worry about the wandering soul of the Fear Demon King Bananazar being inside the jar.

Quick as a flash, he stashed the jar and the rusted dagger stained with demon's blood into the storage grid.

At this moment, the three Saint Elders sensed that something was amiss and quickly turned around to find both the jar and the dagger had vanished.

"Block the entrance to the hall!"

They shouted in unison, but alas, they were a step too late. The Tier-4 Avalon Strong Strike Swordsmen had a considerable advantage against these Tier-3 Cold Crow Halberd Warriors.

Especially since these Church Warriors were not affected by the Raven Ceremony and were still in a weakened state.

By the time Zong Shen ran past them, the three Avalon Strong Strike Swordsmen had already subdued four weakened Cold Crow Halberd Warriors into a near-death state.

Enemies in a near-death state fit the criteria for capture, so Zong Shen waved his hand, pulling them into the prisoner space, then swiftly left the hall and entered the corridor.

The three Saint Elders and the other Cold Crow Halberd Warriors tried to enter the corridor, but were blocked by the three Avalon Strong Strike Swordsmen.

This series of moves was smooth as flowing water, catching them off guard. Outside the corridor entrance, stood three clones that looked almost identical to Shafuri.

They couldn't fathom how these uninvited guests managed to descend, with squads of Heretical Giant Power Knights and Calamity Mages guarding above.

Zong Shen wasn't burdened by such concerns. Having obtained the items, his priority was to withdraw quickly. His movements were as swift as a leopard, rapidly returning to the breach in the tunnel, where he activated the Floating Technique and soared upwards.

Floating Flight was certainly much quicker than climbing, and in just half a minute, he reached near the surface. He did not rush to leave, pausing instead to pull out the Royal Guard Battle Sword and cut all the woven ropes.

That wasn't all. He pulled out three or four Goblin Detonators, ignited them all, and after counting three seconds, allowed them to fall freely down the well shaft.

The Goblin Detonators had an eight-second ignition time after being lit, waiting three seconds meant there were five seconds left.

This timing was sufficient to allow the detonators to reach the lower part of the well shaft before exploding.

After throwing the Goblin Detonators, Zong Shen immediately controlled his body to continue ascending without looking back.

At this moment, he had finished the stealth state of the Shadow Clone; once his body flew out of the mine, the Church Warriors noticed him.

However, Zong Shen was still transformed into Shafuri, so the Church Warriors around him could only watch helplessly as he soared into the sky.

"We don't know, and we don't dare to ask!"

Four or five meters later, Zong Shen had flown fifty meters above the well shaft.

From below, a clear explosion of fire erupted in the well shaft tunnel.

Zong Shen grinned and maintained his floating position; two seconds later, the sound and shock of the explosion echoed from underground.

"Boom!"

The sound and airflow of the explosion traveled up through the well shaft.

The team of Heretical Giant Power Knights and Calamity Mages stationed on the ground only then realized something was wrong.

They hurried to the edge of the well shaft to check, only to find that the previous explosion had already reclogged the excavated well shaft tunnel.

Especially the lower half, which had collapsed significantly with a thickness of over a hundred meters.

Without the aid of a Magic Energy Drilling Machine for excavation, it would take more than two days for manpower to reopen the caved-in section of the well shaft.

When they raised their heads after examining the situation, Zong Shen had already used the Floating Technique to quickly depart the area, disappearing without a trace.

He took off in a random direction, leaving the Burial Ground, circling briefly to assess the situation before returning to his previous position.

Landing on the ground, although the effect of the Transformation Potion had not yet worn off, he nonetheless directly nullified the transformation, reverting to his original appearance on the ground.

As soon as he landed, he immediately mounted Pigsy, waving to the Wolf Cavalry and Immortal Gun Cavalry behind him.

"Let's go, we're heading to Odu Village now."

From this position, Zong Shen could still see the faint golden light emanating from Raven Saintess Shafuri.

However, at this moment, this faint golden light was far less brilliant than it had been previously.

Clearly, Shafuri was close to being unable to continue the Raven Ceremony.

Zong Shen rode Pigsy at full speed towards Odu Village, reaching the northern side in seven or eight minutes.

Glancing into the village, the battle was still ongoing, though less intense. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Most of the buildings in the village had been destroyed, with collapsed homes and ruins of various buildings strewn everywhere. Many of the village houses were even set ablaze, flames raging and illuminating the situation within the village.

Only a third of the Expeditionary Army's warriors remained, all bearing injuries, including that squadron of Blue Owl Cavalry, only forty or fifty riders left, with many having lost their warhorses.
