Chapter 1641: Rescue Operation
Three days later, everyone received word that Leng Feng had been imprisoned at the Demon Refining Island Base, where at least ten thousand X Legion troops were stationed.
Now, whether it was Jie, Lu Yi, or Lin Yue, they all frowned deeply, their expressions heavy with concern.
Gu Fan observed the group’s tense demeanor and thought to himself that this base likely held dangers far worse than sheer enemy numbers.
From the map, Demon Refining Island was surrounded by ocean on all sides and heavily fortified. Approaching by sea would almost certainly lead to immediate detection and becoming a target.
The only viable option was to infiltrate the island underwater without making a sound. However, sending too many people would risk exposure, and more importantly, the resistance lacked submarines. Relying solely on diving equipment for long distances and extended underwater operations would be extremely challenging.
As everyone deliberated on how to rescue Leng Feng, Gu Fan began pondering another question: Why had the Demon King gone out of his way to capture Leng Feng and imprison him at this particular base? What was his ultimate goal?
It absolutely wasn’t about annihilating the resistance in one fell swoop—almost as if the Demon King was deliberately luring them there.
At this moment, someone expressed concern: What if they encountered the Demon King at the base? How would they fight him?
In response, Gu Fan reassured them, telling them to put that worry aside. For now, the Demon King seemed disinclined to confront Gu Fan directly, and Gu Fan speculated that the Demon King had likely shifted his defensive focus to the New Dark City.
