Chapter 232: Two Groups of People?

Upon hearing this, Shu Xi became anxious. "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry!"

"The elves have gone too far! They actually sneaked into our clan hall and set it on fire!" The giant rat’s tone was extremely angry, clearly showing his intense hatred for the elves.

Lin Yun thought for a moment and said, "I don’t think it was the elves. Although we’re at odds with them, they bombed several places not long ago, so it’s impossible for them to attack our clan hall again. They’re still officials. If they take action against the clan hall, aren’t they afraid that the giant rat tribe will retaliate? The elves can’t be so brainless as to do something so despicable. I suspect someone else set fire to the clan hall!"

The giant rat who had come to find them was stunned. Why did he suddenly feel that what Miss Shu Nan said made sense? The clan hall was where the giant rat tribe kept the memorial tablets of its deceased chiefs and others. The elves were the authorities and had brains. They would never set fire to the clan hall at a time like this.

"Sister, what should we do? If it wasn’t the elves, then who could it be? The giant rat tribe is the largest race in Monster City. How dare they?"

Shu Xi looked indignant. Following Lin Yun’s reasoning, she truly could not guess which race was brave enough to oppose them.

Lin Yun narrowed her eyes. "You go help out at the clan hall first. I’ll figure out a way to catch them."

Shu Xi agreed and left with her team of giant rats.

"You all go and help too. I can handle things myself."

She wanted to get rid of these people so they would not get in her way. The giant rats following Lin Yun looked at each other in bewilderment. "Miss Shu Nan, can you manage all by yourself?"

They did not question her intentions, mainly because they were afraid that if Miss Shu Nan got hurt because of them, she would cause them trouble again. In the eyes of the giant rat tribe, Shu Nan was not someone to be trifled with.

"I can manage on my own. You can go ahead. It’s easier for me to move around alone."

Lin Yun’s voice was cold, and she seemed to be getting somewhat unhappy. Seeing this, the giant rats quickly responded and chased after Shu Xi in the direction she had just gone.

With the troublesome people gone, Lin Yun quickly looked around and found Sang Biao. "What’s the situation at the giant rats’ clan hall? Was it really the elves?"

Sang Biao shook his head. "No. Just now, when you met up with the other giant rat, Aino was hiding nearby with her people. After you left, she originally intended to cause trouble at the clan hall, but when they got there, they found that someone was already there. But I don’t know what race they are. They’re wearing black cloaks, so you can’t see them."

Sang Biao told her everything he knew.

"Oh, right. Aino and the others were just watching the commotion over there, but I wonder where they’ve gone now. They’ll probably be here soon, right?"

Lin Yun paused for a moment, then said, "You stay outside for now. I’ll go down and figure out a way to get the keys and open the doors."

"Should we stop them?" Sang Biao asked.

"No need."

There was only one giant rat guarding the dungeon now. She just needed to figure out how to knock him unconscious.

Lin Yun got up and walked toward the spot where Shu Xi had opened the dungeon entrance. She stepped on a spot on the ground, and soon an entrance appeared. She quickly descended into the dungeon.

Shu Ba was somewhat surprised but still addressed her respectfully. "Miss Shu Nan, didn’t you just come by? Why are you here again...?"

"Someone set fire to the clan hall. They’re not with the elves. I’m worried they’re also after the humans."

Lin Yun brought out a ready-made excuse. "The elves have probably already left, and the group that set fire to the clan hall is probably trying to pin the blame on the elves. We can’t be so easily fooled. By the way, just in case, you should leave the keys with me, in case they actually find the dungeon and steal them."

Shu Ba did not doubt Lin Yun’s words and handed the keys to her directly. However, he found it strange that Miss Shu Nan had come with a team earlier but was now alone.

"They’re keeping watch nearby up there now, and they’ll alert us if anything happens," Lin Yun explained, noticing his hesitation.

Shu Ba stopped asking questions. In any case, Miss Shu Nan knew what she was doing. He would not meddle and would just do as she said. However, he was not idle either. In the middle of the night, he figured he should pour Miss Shu Nan a glass of water or something, since she was so busy.

Just as Shu Ba turned around to pour a glass of water, Lin Yun, who had been watching him closely, seized the opportunity. The Ghost Vine rushed forward instantly, growing to enormous size and binding its opponent tightly, turning him into something like a silkworm cocoon, with even his head wrapped inside.

Lin Yun breathed a sigh of relief and gave the Ghost Vine a thumbs-up. She stepped forward and, with the Ghost Vine’s help, dragged Shu Ba into a corner.

Because Shu Ba’s mouth was also covered by vines, he could not make a sound. He did not know what was happening or how he had suddenly been tied up. What about Miss Shu Nan? It must be those damned people! They must have killed the giant rats outside and then silently sneaked into the dungeon, capturing both of them while he and Miss Shu Nan were off guard! Damn it! He had failed to protect Miss Shu Nan. He was now bound like a dumpling and could not even scream. Miss Shu Nan was probably in the same situation.

Shu Ba was furious, but he could not break free of the vines. At the same time, he began to fear that if the humans inside were lost, the chief would kill him.

The place where Lin Yun had tied Shu Ba up was some distance from the cells, so the people in the cells did not notice. She took the keys, opened her personal panel, watched the recording, and opened the passages one by one. As for the locks on the doors, Lin Yun quickly opened them after finding the pattern. But Lin Yun was not stupid. She opened only the cells of the humans and left the cells of the other races closed.

"Why do you only open the doors for humans? Open ours too!" A blue sparrow girl approached her cell door, watching Lin Yun open the cell opposite.

"Exactly. Could this be yet another new way you’ve come up with to torture humans?" A man with rabbit ears chuckled as he glanced at the human in the next cell, who was opening the cell door.

Upon hearing this, the human who had already opened the cell door and was trying to escape suddenly stopped moving. Right. This person was from the giant rat tribe. Why would she kindly open the cells and let them out? Moreover, there were no giant rats guarding the prison right now, so she must want to torture them! The giant rats were despicable. They had actually tried to trick them with this! They would not fall for it!
