“Let’s go. I’m ready!”
The murlocs still refused to communicate with him.
The cloaked murloc simply nodded gently to Chen Shen’s voice, and the group began to shrink toward him, gradually leading him into their base.
After walking a few hundred meters, they finally reached the entrance of the mysterious building complex.
Chen Shen could advance very smoothly as there was enough length between the hemp ropes, which did not restrict his activity.
He stayed calm until he reached the entrance.
However, as soon as he entered the foreign territory, he subconsciously became anxious, and his footsteps began to speed up.
The team that followed around him had no choice but to speed up to match his speed.
Chen Shen would never have expected the scene that unfolded before him.
Bang…
Bang…
The seemingly powerful murlocs began to slip and fall one after another.
The snow was extremely wet, and their feet did not have enough grip to produce friction to support traveling fast.
With a slight increase in speed, most of the murlocs with poor balance began to fall to the ground and stuck their guns in the snow as support.
Those without guns were in a much worse condition.
They had no tools to support them and could only frantically grab whatever was around them to try to balance themselves when they fell.
Those who managed to support themselves by finding support in time were lucky. However, those who grabbed onto each other in the moment of panic caused a chain reaction of them falling together like dominos.
It took a little more than ten seconds for almost two-thirds of the murlocs to struggle to pick themselves up from the ground.
The chaotic scene completely destroyed the strong impression the murlocs had in their first appearance.
Chen Shen, who stood in the center, was dumbfounded and unsure if he should continue walking or stop to wait for them.
In the end, the cloaked murloc could not stand it anymore and approached Chen Shen with a serious expression face.
“You, slow down!” he said with an indifferent voice.
“Hey! You speak the language of Huaxia?”
Chen Shen became bolder after entering the enemy’s base and was no longer hesitant to speak to them.
After hearing the murloc speak the language of Huaxia very fluently, he subconsciously blurted out a question.
Unfortunately, the cloaked murloc turned his fish face away and ignored it after hearing the question.
‘This group of murlocs are really strange. Judging from their behavior, it seems like they’ve never seen snow before.
‘They speak our language but aren’t willing to communicate.’
Their abnormal behavior made Chen Shen extremely confused.
Chen Shen immediately took advantage of the time the murlocs helped each other get up and observed the surrounding buildings after seeing that they were unwilling to communicate,
His gaze stopped at the first building spotted at the entrance.
When viewed with his binoculars in the distance, it was an inconspicuous small building with black finishing.
Now that he was closer, he could roughly estimate the building to be about eighty meters high. It had three floors and more than twenty windows.
The building was much more advanced than those in Hope Village!
The front had three doors leading inside the building.
Two of them were tightly shut, and only the one in the middle had a faint light shining through it, making it challenging to identify the building’s purpose.
Chen Shen quickly skipped the first building and continued to scan the other buildings.
This time, he glanced at the tallest building within the complex.
The overall height of the high-rise building was about 15 meters!
It had five floors, was very conspicuous from the outside, and eye-catching among the building complex.
Unfortunately, there were no clues such as text, so Chen Shen could not analyze its function.
A few moments later, before Chen Shen could inspect the door, the team of murlocs who fell on the ground finally picked themselves up and returned to their previous formation.
This time, Chen Shen did not dare to speed up and maintained a slow pace, allowing him more time to observe the surroundings.
‘Hmm? Is our destination the tallest building?’
The location of the tall building was near the bonfire in the center of the building complex.
He could guess the destination they were headed to as they gradually traveled to the center.
It was precisely the tall building!
‘Are they bringing me into their headquarters?’
The discovery made Chen Shen slightly overjoyed. He immediately suppressed his excitement and focused on advancing toward the destination.
The journey was remarkably silent.
They stopped right in front of the five-story high-rise building and were merely a few steps away from entering it.
“You, come with me!”
The cloaked murloc seemed to be of a very high position in the Murloc Territory.
It only took his one glance for the other murlocs to disperse without saying anything else..
His domineering aura made Chen Shen secretly praise him. However, he maintained a calm appearance and nodded obediently, “Okay, please lead the way!”
Chen Shen followed behind the cloaked murloc as they walked along the gates of the five-story building.
He opened his eyes wide to avoid missing out on any building details.
“Ha. You don’t have to be so eager. We’ll give you the building if you fulfill our condition!”
The cloaked murloc turned his head and spoke in the language of Huaxia as he maintained an indifferent expression after seeing Chen Shen acting so suspiciously without the other murlocs around.
The building was ordinary and worthless to him.
However, Chen Shen’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing his words.
“This? You want to give it to us?”
“Ha. The building is yours to take if you fulfill our request. You can take whatever you see right now.”
He waved his hand and did not seem to care about it.
They finally reached a heavy gate, and before he made any movements, the gate opened automatically, and light passed through the entrance.
“Come with me. We’ve no ill intentions toward humans, so you can rest assured!”
He reassured him aloud.
Seeing Chen Shen’s curious expression, the cloaked murloc nodded and walked inside.
Chen Shen followed him, and the door immediately closed, blocking the light from escaping.
