Chapter 133: Chapter 133: The Opponent’s Escape Route

"Tsk, tsk, these guys." Yang Bo looked at the warehouse. This was the Ash Organization’s warehouse, divided into many different areas. One floor alone was a full two thousand square meters, and there were six floors in total. The surrounding walls were completely lined with Defense Armor meant for a Warship.

Inside, there were also various Exotic Beasts. These Exotic Beasts were all fast asleep, wearing some sort of collar around their necks. They were incredibly diverse, even including a two-headed snake.

The Exotic Beast area wasn’t very large; he guessed some had already been shipped away. Additionally, there were some bizarre plants. Inside a sealed container, a mushroom was actually moving slowly. A danger warning sign was plastered on the outside of the container.

The majority of the inventory consisted of Energy Metals, Energy Stones, Attribute Energy Stones, and so on. There were even Attribute Energy Metals, such as metals that inherently possessed Fire Energy. These were the raw materials for crafting Super Battle Armor.

Imagine if Yang Bo’s Battle Armor stored enough Electric Energy on its own—what kind of effect would that have in combat?

The only downside here was that everything relied on mechanical and manual operation. There was no systematic automation.

He had essentially figured out the layout of the entire Ash Organization base, including where their own members lived. However, their escape route still eluded him.

Yang Bo guessed that it must be highly classified—likely something only the person in charge of the Ash Organization could open. Furthermore, this was the exact drawback of a fully mechanical setup: it couldn’t be located through a system.

The Main Energy Room had also been found by Yang Bo, though he hadn’t gone inside. In reality, that was a place people rarely entered anyway.

Yang Bo had caught a distant glimpse of the person in charge of the Ash Organization. Of course, he only knew who to look for because Third Huang had described his appearance. The man gave Yang Bo a strange feeling—a feeling of extreme danger...

The treasure exchange convention had come to a halt. Every day, hundreds of Mutant leaders demanded that the Ash Organization promise compensation for their losses, threatening to suspend trading otherwise. The Pirates were doing the same. For a time, the atmosphere grew tense.

Third Huang took out a map and said, "Based on what I’ve recently gathered, there’s a lake here, over three hundred kilometers away. There are quite a few electric eels in it, so hardly any of our people go there.

"Over here, more than six hundred kilometers away, is a swamp. But it’s toxic, and everything living inside it is poisonous.

"And here is the exit of an underground river. The current is very fast, but there aren’t any creatures in it, so nobody really goes there."

Yang Bo felt something wasn’t right. Although a few hundred kilometers wasn’t a huge distance, this wasn’t a high-tech world. Escaping that far would require massive escape facilities.

"Technology!" Yang Bo pondered after sending Third Huang off. As could be seen from the internal layout of their base, the Ash Organization still relied on technology.

First was the ship-borne Laser Cannon. Even though it was manually operated, they could just fire it mindlessly down the corridor. Paired with a Super Evolver, anyone who came would die.

Furthermore, a gang-like syndicate like the Ash Organization always maintained several safe houses. The moment a problem arose, they would evacuate at top speed.

"If there is an underground high-speed tunnel, they could definitely leave quickly," Yang Bo thought.

"But what a massive cost that would be. Besides, the deeper underground you go, the stronger the interference becomes.

"Plus, wouldn’t they be afraid of being discovered by the Mutants? In the Underworld, Mutants are far more..."

Yang Bo walked out of the Underworld. There were many Mutants coming and going, so he didn’t attract the slightest bit of attention.

Looking up at the sky, a bold idea formed in Yang Bo’s mind. What if they hid a Spaceship within the clouds and mist of this Celestial Pit?

Wouldn’t that be the fastest, most immediate escape plan? Moreover, the interference up there was minimal. If they equipped this Spaceship with some heavy firepower, they wouldn’t have to fear no matter how many people caused trouble below, right?

"Imagine this: when the time comes and countless Mutants swarm to attack the base, the Ash Organization’s Spaceship will just be hovering right above the Celestial Pit. The Laser Cannon turns on... tsk, tsk," Yang Bo muttered to himself.

Organizations like the Ash Organization were the most ruthless. If they ever lost their stronghold here, they wouldn’t let anyone else have an easy time either.

"I’ll investigate first and see." Yang Bo strolled around. The Mutants had essentially stopped all trading. If an occasional, solitary Mutant brought out items to trade, they would be immediately reprimanded by the other tribal leaders.

After leaving, Yang Bo used his Invisibility and arrived at the outer edge of the Celestial Pit. Staring carefully into it, he noticed it was shrouded in thick clouds and mist; it was unclear exactly how high up it went.

He wandered around the outside of the Celestial Pit for a while but didn’t discover any anomalies. There were just birds, beasts, and the like.

"Did I guess wrong?" Yang Bo wondered.

However, recalling that he had previously killed a bird that was a hybrid of biology and machinery, Yang Bo decided to observe more carefully. He needed to closely examine these birds and beasts.

It wasn’t until night fell that a faint smile finally graced Yang Bo’s lips. It was all thanks to his passive Dynamic Field of View ability.

Dynamic Field of View was his only ability that could still be used while maintaining Invisibility. Because it was a passive trait, the ability naturally triggered as long as he was looking at something.

"Five fake birds are mixed in with three flocks of real birds," Yang Bo mused. "They’re ensuring that there are birds looking down at this Celestial Pit at all times. Tsk, tsk."

He had finally made a discovery. The fake birds would hop around in the trees and even eat, but there was one thing they didn’t do.

Shed feathers!

That’s right—real birds would always shed at least a few feathers while Flying, especially when they were darting up and down through the bushes.

"So, how should I continue my Reconnaissance?" Yang Bo muttered to himself again.

If this thing was hovering in the air, he could transform into a bird to go check it out. However, that might alert the enemy. But what if it wasn’t there at all?

Yang Bo couldn’t be entirely certain that a Spaceship was in there. The main issue was that after using Invisibility, he couldn’t use his other abilities—especially electricity, light, or Gravity, among others. If he used them, he would lose his Invisibility. Moreover, this central space was so massive that even if there was a Spaceship, it would likely have an automatic evasion system turned on.

Yang Bo felt somewhat frustrated and considered just ignoring the situation here. However, that bullshit Four Seas Company, the immense suffering he had just endured, and the human trafficking... Any single one of those was enough to infuriate him, let alone all of them combined.

"Forget it. I’ll just do what I can. Being able to intercept the people from the Ash Organization would be great, but if I can’t, then there’s nothing I can do. I guess that’s the price of working alone..." Filled with a bit of chagrin, Yang Bo returned to the Underground World while invisible.

"No, wait, there’s still Iron Bull and the others." Yang Bo’s eyes suddenly lit up. If it really was a Spaceship or something similar, the Iron Bull Brothers would be absolutely perfect for the job.

Yang Bo hurriedly rushed back to Iron Bull’s territory. He had to be quick; if he wasn’t fast enough, the treasure exchange convention might end before he knew it.

Maxing out his Gravity Manipulation ability, Yang Bo shot through the Underworld like a cannonball. At first, he nearly crashed into the stone walls, but he gradually got the hang of it.

"Iron Bull." Yang Bo transformed into a member of Iron Bull’s species and communicated with him and his companions. Afterward, Iron Bull separated from his companions and hurried toward the Celestial Pit area with Yang Bo.

Yang Bo also learned that Iron Bull’s brothers needed to stay behind to watch over their home and guard their species’ territory.

Yang Bo brought Iron Bull to a hidden spot about a kilometer away from the Celestial Pit. He instructed Iron Bull to watch the direction of the Celestial Pit: if any chunk of iron flew up, he was to strike it, and then immediately run away.

This was essentially just a precaution. Yang Bo felt he could probably stop the enemy from escaping himself; this was merely a backup plan.

After a good while of communicating, Iron Bull finally nodded, indicating that he understood.

Iron Bull now had quite a few golden patterns all over his body. There was no telling how much he would grow once he completely absorbed the Energy Pillar.

"Brother, why are you only arriving now? The Ash Organization just announced that tomorrow will be the final day of the treasure exchange convention," Third Huang said anxiously when he saw Yang Bo appear.
