Capítulo 272: 118. Mysterious Connection_3

Scouting Bell Beetles and attack type Alchemy Beetles responsible for stealth attacks were among the tools that the Blackbone Hermit had devised to guard against attacks.

As Noland Lee opened the sluice gate, the Alchemy Beetles lying in wait on the walls had already detected his presence.

These Alchemy Beetles should have sounded the alarm, but unfortunately, Noland was currently neither alive, an Alchemist, nor an Aberration.

He was now a "dead man."

It was evident that the Blackbone Hermit had not issued any orders for his little treasures to watch the "dead."

Therefore, Noland's arrival did not alert the Alchemy Beetles.

Noland shut some of the doors, leaving only a barely visible crack.

His gaze penetrated the crack, staring intently at the corridor behind the door.

"Come on, just one patrolling Alchemy Slave is enough. Just don't let the Blackbone Hermit show up, or I'll have to resort to my backup plan."
