Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

This question came out of nowhere.

The four people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Finally, the most defensively robust Luger answered in a deep voice:

"It depends on who is attacking."

"If it's someone like Lord Bloodthorn, I can withstand it for ten seconds."

"But what about those few 'apex' figures entrenched deep within..."

He didn't finish speaking, but his meaning was clear.

He'll be instantly killed.

Ash coldly added:

"That top-tier night elf assassin was lucky to get through; he didn't run into the 'apex'."

"Those few... once brought down an epic-level demon king."

"Or, before the other party could even react."

"Tear it to shreds in 3 seconds."

A hint of satisfaction flashed across the faces of all four when the matter was mentioned.

Even after so much time has passed, the destruction of the demon king still brings them relief.

The reason Lin Gui asked about strength was precisely because of that counterintuitive principle.

The stronger the team, the more trouble they will encounter when traversing certain forbidden areas.

The warriors who can support Guxin must be incredibly powerful.

Even Carter King in his prime couldn't assemble this lineup.

Lin Gui knew that the legend of Avalon was not limited to these three people.

He guessed the total number might exceed ten, not counting the Rogge outside.

Although Avalon is small, it is full of martial spirit.

Having strength is a good thing.

But traversing the Howling Corridor presents even greater risks.

Lin Gui could almost foresee how many terrifying beings would be drawn to him once he entered.

It seems I can't sneak in and accelerate like I did when I came.

After figuring everything out, Lin Gui clapped his hands.

"Alright, gentlemen, prepare to travel through time."

The voice just fell.

That strangely shaped, narrow flying boat appeared out of thin air on the open ground.

"?!"

Morpheus and his three companions were all taken aback.

The appearance of the airship was too abrupt.

It was as if it had always been there, but they just couldn't see it.

The four quickly exchanged glances, each seeing the suppressed excitement in the other.

They misunderstood.

They assumed that Lin Gui had used the legendary "concealment artifact".

—He did have it!

Morpheus immediately signaled to the others with his eyes to restrain themselves and not to show any greed.

Killian coughed to cover his surprise.

"Ahem... The little mage's skill in concealment magic is truly profound."

"They were so close, yet we didn't notice them at all."

Lin Gui was stunned.

In a way, was the wise man's move a lucky accident?

He didn't have any "magical artifact," but the level of concealment in the Night Veil was indeed so high that they couldn't see through it.

After all, he had been observing from the air for the past few days without these people noticing.

Only the Demon King Pillar sensed it, but because he was "too weak," the alarm was not triggered.

"Ahem, it's alright, but it can't compare to you gentlemen."

Lin Gui waved his hand.

"Alright, let's get on the airship. You don't want to walk there, do you?"

Morpheus and the others then took a closer look at the airship.

They quickly discovered the problem.

There are only three seats on the airship.

There were six people present, including Eve and Lin Gui.

Especially the barbarian Luger, who was as tall as an iron tower.

Looking at the small boat, he couldn't help but complain:

"This little thing...is too small to fit on."

As he was complaining, Lin Gui pulled out bundles of rope from somewhere.

Eve, who was standing next to her, looked at him with a strange expression.

That seems to be... the special steel wire rope that Shia used to bind the ghost?

Lin Gui, carrying the rope, gave the puzzled-looking legends a malicious smile.

"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you gentlemen a little."

Did these legends finally give in?

Of course not.

"No!" Ruger objected first. "That would restrict our movement!"

"In case of an accident, it will be difficult for us to respond in time," Ash added coldly.

Lin Gui simply weighed the steel cable in his hand and said slowly:

"I think... I also miss the 'gentle' massages from the elf at home."

Morpheus and the others' lips twitched in unison.

Killian stepped in at the opportune moment to smooth things over:

"Ahem, young mage, the rope does indeed hinder the exertion of force."

"To be honest, with our strength, it wouldn't be difficult for us to break free of these ropes."

"But in the Howling Corridor, a matter of seconds can mean life or death."

Lin Gui sighed, looking quite helpless:

"I didn't want to either."

"But my concealment magic... has a limited range."

"It needs to be activated on the airship."

"Therefore, we must keep everyone within the airship's range. Otherwise, we'll be easily exposed."

After saying that, he had a thought in his mind.

The [Night Veil] activated silently, and the flying boat instantly disappeared from everyone's sight and perception.

It was as if it had evaporated on the spot.

A few seconds later, it reappeared.

The facts proved the stealth effect of the "magical artifact" carried on the airship.

Having witnessed this near-miraculous ability to conceal himself, Morpheus and his companions fell silent.

They exchanged a few glances, and finally nodded slowly.

They agreed to this seemingly outrageous plan.

The airship slowly floated into the air.

The three legendary warriors were securely fastened to the outside of the airship by specially made steel cables.

Luger was strapped to the bottom of the airship, like a chassis armor.

Ash is fixed on the left, and Killian is on the right.

They truly became the "human shield" for the airship.

The legendary expert's "罡气保护体" (罡气保护体) is far more robust than the airship's own armor.

Lin Gui turned his head and looked at Morpheus, who was sitting in the only seat in the back row.

"Lord Morpheus, please fasten your seatbelts and hold firmly to the handrails on both sides."

Morpheus nodded and did as instructed, then frowned.

seat belt?

Why do we need to tie it up properly?

Before he could figure it out, Eve in the front seat had already fastened her seatbelt deftly.

Then he lunged forward and hugged Lin Gui's waist tightly.

His eyes were tightly closed, as if he was about to encounter something terrible.

Morpheus: "???"

Although the Howling Corridor was indeed terrifying, Morpheus just felt that something was wrong.

And at that very moment—

"call out!"

A faint whooshing sound came from behind.

A headless arrow flew precisely toward the airship.

Ash, who was fixed to the side, raised his eyes and his arm reached out like a phantom.

He held the arrow in his hand with ease.

A small roll of thin paper was wrapped around the arrow shaft.

Ash smiled, flicked his wrist, and the arrow landed lightly on Lin Gui's leg.

"Here, your wife sent it."

Lin Gui picked up the roll of paper and unfolded it.

There was only one line of small, slightly messy but forceful handwriting above:

"If you dare not come back, I'll come find you. I'll chase you to the ends of the earth and bring you back!"

"I'll imprison you in the basement and have you give birth to a hundred or eighty little elves before you're allowed to come out!"

He turned his head and looked in the direction of the walls of Avalon.

A beautiful figure stood quietly behind the battlements.

Her silver hair fluttered gently in the breeze, and her blood-red eyes seemed to pierce through the distance, locking onto him firmly.

Lin Gui smiled and waved vigorously in that direction.

Then, he no longer hesitated.

It propelled the flying boat forward, transforming it into a streak of light.

Carrying six people, it plunged into the churning gray-white fog ahead.

On the city wall.

Shia stared at the direction where the airship had disappeared, remaining motionless for a long time.
