**Chapter 1271: Saving Brother Through a Detour is Still Saving! (Bonus Chapter)**
"Clang!"
The prison door slammed shut again, and everyone looked at Damon in horror.
What was that all about with the hammerhead shark just now?
You even called him Little Hammer?
And those strawberry prints on her hammer head, are you serious?
And Damon can breathe underwater even while bound?
Ah...
Jiang Nan swallowed hard.
(๑ŏ﹏ŏ) "Brother... you..."
Damon's face was full of melancholy.
(꜂꜆･᷄ʖ̯･᷅) "The Heaven Sacrifice Array is only missing the most crucial core formation. Only Alice knows the core content. Shark took her to carve the array."
"It'll take less than a day for the Heaven Sacrifice Array to activate. We don't have much time left."
As he spoke, the antenna on his head moved and began drawing in the air.
"This is the floor plan of Xiebao Prison. The prison's defenses are the tightest."
"In the other prison blocks, most of the prisoners are Alice's personal guards and members of the Elder Council. There are a lot of them, probably a few thousand."
Damon gave a detailed report, covering the defense situation, shift changes, and layout of Xiebao Prison, down to the smallest detail.
He even reported Azhen's body measurements and head circumference.
Jiang Nan's mouth twitched.
There's no need to tell us the measurements. We're not interested in that.
Do you have to be so detailed?
Everyone looked at Damon in disbelief.
=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)
They caught you and brought you to a room for interrogation. Who was interrogating whom?
How did you get all this information?
You extracted all their words?
Damon is the MVP of the whole scene, right?
Heidi asked curiously: (๑･᷄～･᷅) "How did the two of you communicate?"
Damon's expression stiffened.
(꜂꜆•̌ㅂ•̑꜂꜆‧̣̥̇) "Uh... Little Hammer is the warden. He's captured many humans before, so he can speak human language."
Then he said excitedly: "None of that matters! Southern God! Let's break out! I can't let my efforts go to waste!"
Jiang Nan nodded and grinned.
(๑¯ิٹ¯ิ) "Combined with the information you provided, I've already formed a solid plan."
"Lacey! Can we trust the mermaids locked in the other prison areas?"
Lacey's eyes shone with hope.
"Yes, we can! Otherwise, we wouldn't be locked here. You're going to..."
Jiang Nan grinned slyly: "Wait for the right moment. Rebel!"
"Mira! I have a task for you later."
Mira pulled hard and slipped her hands and feet out of the black stone cuffs.
The torn skin, flesh, and bones healed rapidly, returning to normal in an instant.
Her pretty face was full of excitement.
(งớꇴờ)ง "Okay! I love doing missions the most!"
Jiang Nan said with a look of worry: "Don't be so hasty! You hurt your hands and feet, silly girl."
Mira scratched her head and smiled shyly.
୧(ૢ⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴)
Everyone looked at Mira in horror.
Hiss—how can she move?
Wasn't she controlled by the Padaxing? How is this possible?
Chiben Ying's face turned bright red.
Mira's being controlled earlier was an act? She could have broken free all along?
Why didn't she say so?
Wouldn't it have been better to have Mira scratch me? Then I wouldn't have to let Jiang the tentacle take advantage!
How annoying~
[Resentment from Chiben Ying +666!]
[From...]
I knew that Nan guy would never be willing to be caught. So he was prepared all along.
Jiang Nan extended his small whip and pretended to pull something from his pants pocket.
He pulled out a Teletubbies invisibility cloak, a bunch of small puddings, and even a small stool, and shoved them all into Mira's hands.
"When the prison door opens again later, take the chance to slip out with them."
"Go through each cell and free the mermaids from their restraints."
"Tell them not to move yet, wait for the signal."
Mira quickly put on the Teletubbies cloak, ate a bunch of small puddings, and nodded like a chick pecking rice.
Then Jiang Nan handed Damon a paralysis ring and explained how to use it.
Damon's eyes lit up. There's such a good thing?
To avoid raising suspicion when the door opened, Jiang Nan also randomly found an inconspicuous mermaid below.
He made her eat a small pudding to transform into Mira's appearance and locked her in Mira's original position.
Waiting for the right moment.
...
While Jiang Nan was preparing the prison break plan, outside Xiebao Prison, in the seaweed forest.
Lan nervously stared at the fish-headed monsters patrolling the entrance.
ོོོ(๐ᵒ̴̶̷‸ᵒ̴̶̷)ོོོོོོོོ
The guard outside was already this tight; inside would be even worse.
Inside, there was even the Spirit-Binding Field of Padaxing.
With her peak Silver rank, the chance of rescuing Jiangnan Gege was almost zero.
If she showed herself, she would likely be caught too.
Lan's eyes were full of anxiety. She couldn't charge in forcefully.
Jiangnan Gege pulled her out of the abyss and gave her warmth.
This time has been the happiest in her life.
Lan must rescue Jiangnan Gege.
Don't be afraid; this time it's Lan's turn to save her brother.
She fiercely patted her own little head, then turned and teleported away.
She stopped thinking about how to break into Xiebao Prison.
She remembered that earlier, she heard the fish-headed monsters chatting that the Origin Staff was the key to preparing the Heaven Sacrifice Array.
They were going to use Jiangnan Gege and the others as sacrifices.
That staff must be quite important, right?
If she stole that staff, the Heaven Sacrifice Array couldn't proceed.
Then Jiangnan Gege wouldn't be used as a sacrifice.
Saving Brother Through a Detour is Still Saving.
This was the only way Lan could think of.
Recalling the direction Shark and Alice went earlier, Lan draped the vendor cloth and teleported along, hiding and following them.
She arrived at the Lantis Temple.
Lan took a deep breath, teleported into the temple hall, curled up, and hid on a beam.
In the center of the temple stood a huge white stone statue.
The statue depicted King Atlas holding his staff up to the sky.
On the floor around the statue, complex runes were carved, and a thick energy wall rose up, protecting the statue completely.
Lan couldn't sense the space inside at all, which meant that when the array was activated.
She couldn't teleport inside?
At that moment, the Origin Staff in the statue's hand was taken down by two mermaid priests and respectfully handed to Shark.
Lan gritted her teeth, her big eyes fixed on the Origin Staff.
But she couldn't do anything now.
Shark grabbed Alice, his eyes ferocious.
(⌯°᷄益°᷅) "The Heaven Sacrifice Array only lacks its center!"
"Go and complete it, or I'll kill your grandma! Kill all the members of the Elder Council!"
"You'd better listen to me! That way, even though you'll die, they can live."
Alice glared at Shark with hatred, but under these circumstances.
She had no right to resist.
She could only obey Shark, who dragged her all the way to the square in the center of the ancient city of Lantis.
Countless complex runes had already been carved here, except for a ring in the center of the array that hadn't been done yet.
And at the center of the array was the hundred-meter-tall Origin Stone.
It was covered by an energy shield.
Alice held the Origin Staff, energy surging around her.
Driven by her blue blood, the Origin Staff emitted a dazzling light.
Alice used the staff to carve complex runes in the array's center, slowly completing the Heaven Sacrifice Array.
Lan crouched in a distant green belt, anxiously waiting for an opportunity.
...
Meanwhile, in Xiebao Prison, the sound of the door bolt came again.
Azhen walked in with a shy look on her face.
▀₍͠°.̮͠°₎▀
The moment Xiaomila heard the bolt sound, she pinched the antenna and entered invisibility.
Azhen looked around, confirmed nothing unusual, then raised an eyebrow.
"Go! Bring him out to me. Last time's interrogation, I felt there were still some things I didn't get to the bottom of."
Two mermaids brought Damon out again.
Jiang Nan secretly winked at Damon, and Damon nodded almost imperceptibly.
And Mira took the opportunity when the door opened, slipped out holding her small stool.
Turning into a prison drifter, she began the mission of rescuing the mermaid warriors.
...
At this moment, outside the Lantis Space Gate, it was also a mess.
Some time had passed since Jiang Nan and the others were captured.
The space gate was sealed by an energy wall, and Leviathan was guarding the entrance.
Because people had wisely retreated thirty thousand meters away.
The Life Forbidden Zone couldn't absorb enough Life Essence to sustain its consumption.
So it had been shut off by Leviathan long ago.
But if anyone tried to approach, Leviathan would immediately activate the Forbidden Zone, inhale violently, and go on a killing spree.
The situation was at a stalemate.
Pang Badi paced anxiously: "Damn it! Are we really going to let it drag on like this?"
Bruce squinted: "Otherwise, let's sink a Spirit-Binding Ore Vein here! Seal off the spiritual energy around this seabed!"
"Then Leviathan won't be able to use spirit techniques! It won't be able to release the Life Forbidden Zone!"
Toru sneered: "That's true! But then we can't use our abilities either."
"Just with physical strength, can you beat Leviathan? The situation won't change at all."
"Once the ore vein sinks to the seabed, who can retrieve it? Don't be stupid!"
And at this moment, the most nervous one was Craig.
