The General's Dishonesty (VI): You Can't Guess the Host's Routine (Page 1/2)

"..." He looked at the empty stone pillar in front of him and raised his eyebrows.

I thought that after the taming in the past two days, it was finally obedient. In order to facilitate "action", Xu Weiran even removed the anklet.

Maybe his consciousness was too vigilant and he noticed the memory gap...

His beast actually ran away.

He wiped the debris on the stone pillar with his fingers. There was a rough but narrow crack in the middle of the giant pillar, just like someone used a logging saw to saw this thick "towering tree" in half.

"..... This chain is really strong." It can saw through the stone.

[.....Ah? It's not entirely because of this reason. The rocks here are severely calcified. The size looks exaggerated but the texture is relatively soft. .... I just didn't expect that someone would have nothing to do and file through such a thick pillar...] The system silently complained.

"....." Thinking about the stalactite landform next door, it is actually normal.

Xu Weiran didn't blame the system. Anyway, it's almost the same.

"Where is he?"

[One more level up, the rocky area to the west.]

....Hasn't he gone out yet? After a moment of contemplation, he rubbed the ring on his finger.

"Let's go and take a look."

As soon as the figure disappeared, the giant pillar that remained in place made a "crack" sound, and the calcified rock squeezed in the middle could not bear the weight and was completely crushed. The upper giant pillar lost its support and tilted suddenly, the angle became more and more crooked, and the surface of the brittle and soft rock began to produce rows of cracks.

"Boom--"

The main pillar supporting the cave finally collapsed completely under the heavy load.

[Host, this place is going to collapse!] While the system was explaining, the ground under Xu Weiran's feet cracked. He

quickly jumped onto another stone slab and looked up, but unfortunately the range of the sand and gravel splashing was too wide, and he could basically not see very far. But he had a rough estimate of the distance in his mind, after all, he had gone out of the cave to hunt before.

......

On the other side, a burly man hiding in a fork in the cave leaned against the shadows, frowning as he stared at the metal chain that locked his hands. Even though he had exhausted all his strength and used the toughness of the chain to wear through the stone pillar, there was no sign of wear and tear on it now.

That man was very dangerous.

Due to the effect of hypnosis, people would subconsciously ignore the passage of time, but this man was too vigilant.

As a general loyal to the king, he was used to staying awake, especially when facing the enemy's torture or persuasion to surrender. There was no natural light when he was imprisoned in the cave. He would calculate the time himself every day and make a scratch in a hidden place at a specific time.

Starting from the tenth day, the record was suddenly disrupted.

He didn't know what happened, but he would not allow himself to be used by others. He had to escape before things got completely out of control.
