Chapter 457: My Scent Was Actually Remembered by a Man
In order for the plan to proceed smoothly, Fang Zhou had to give up one path, leaving Bi An at the gates of Fran Fortress.
He himself retraced the path he walked yesterday, avoiding the monsters, re-entering the fortress.
There is a distance limit between the substitute and the main body, the maximum distance is about half a kilometer.
When Fang Zhou delved within half a kilometer of the fortress, Bi An located at the gate also had to fly forward, maintaining the distance with Fang Zhou.
Familiarity breeds ease, Fang Zhou had been in and out of Fran Fortress not quite thrice but close, and quickly found his way to the ruins he had created with the Nuclear Leveling Technique.
The journey was free of danger, and even when he occasionally encountered unavoidable monsters, he managed to resolve them before they made a sound, increasingly making his combat style clean and efficient.
In a wasteland almost leveled to the ground, only the Surveillance Hall remained intact, though its surface was charred black.
Although the path had been smooth, the next stretch of distance was the hard part, with no obstructions in between, and being discovered in front of the hall would mark a failure because he had to ensure the Abyss Watcher could be lured out of Fran Fortress.
Yet before Fang Zhou began to act, he saw a familiar figure—Night Mouse.
Night Mouse, clad in his Clothes of the Dead, walked silently in the night, almost blending with the surroundings, making him hard to notice.
However, since there was only this one moving thing around, it naturally couldn’t escape Fang Zhou’s eyes.
Seeing Night Mouse again, Fang Zhou didn’t hold any intense hatred.
