The giant insect stared blankly at Herag and did not launch an attack. It was already quite familiar with Herag's aura, having spent so much time here.

Herag turned back, saw the giant insect looking at him, and waved it to leave.

He didn't ask the giant insect to take him to the high wall because that would have caused too much commotion.

If the giant insect dared to break out of the ground outside the high wall, that commotion would surely draw the attention of the city's defense personnel.

After waving his hand, Herag began to restrain his aura and cautiously approached the high wall, always alert to his surroundings.

The giant insect watched as Herag gradually disappeared into the horizon, looked around confusedly, and then burrowed back into the ground.

Herag heard the noise behind him and knew that the giant insect had returned.

He felt a bit sentimental and genuinely had to thank this demon, without which he might not have made it back.

Just avoiding those several danger zones on the way, he could hardly manage to get through them all and return safely.

Things that could make the underground giant insect terrified were clearly not something Herag could handle at the moment.

On this journey underground, Herag evaded many potential dangers without realizing it.

Those particular danger zones were merely the most obvious. On the surface, there must be countless similar eerie and powerful entities like Great Demons or depression plants.

Even one of them coming out would cause Herag a lot of trouble, and it's really difficult to return relying only on himself.

A Level 1 Liquidation Wizard is still too weak, practically not qualified to roam in the polluted areas.

Herag took a deep breath, stopped thinking about these matters, and prepared to tackle the problem at hand.

He did not know the name of the city before him or even whether it was the city of the Eye of the Storm.

The city wall here was many times taller and thicker than Silver Moon City's wall. The surface of the wall bore various rough or shallow marks.

Some marks seemed to be left by some claw being scratched across them, indicating how large that claw was and that its body was already not small.

There were also visible large pits on the high wall, as if they had been bombarded by some kind of magic.

From these marks, it's clear that this place likely sees frequent demon attacks, which explains why the walls are so tall and thick.

Silver Moon City, located at the southernmost part of the Land of Dawn, is near the Ten Thousand Mountains area, where demons are rare.

Silver Moon City's walls bore almost no such marks, and demon attacks were rare.

But in this place, demon attacks seem to be the norm.

Herag used Shenlan to probe the environment around him and observed that there was no sign of anyone present.

After narrowly escaping an attack from that giant spider, Herag had become much more cautious, not assuming safety just because he didn't see anything.

He carefully approached below the high wall and looked up at the estimated seven or eight hundred meters high city wall without hastily climbing it.

Silver Moon City's walls are protected with many Witch Arrays; merely relying on the physical height is not enough to fend off those demons.

Herag began researching and indeed found an extensive Witch Array laid within the high wall.

After studying for a while, he discovered that if he rashly climbed the high wall, its alert mechanism would quickly be triggered, and the city's defense personnel would be notified.

The Witch Array itself also has certain defensive and anti-climbing functions, if he rashly climbs, the force will be dispersed, making him fall.

Flying over is also not feasible; the entire city is protected above, making it impossible to fly in.

This is to defend against many flying types of demons to protect the safety of the city's inhabitants.

The sky above the city may appear empty, but it is, in fact, enveloped by a protective shield formed by countless Wizard Towers, which cannot be broken by ordinary power.

The challenge before Herag was how to get through this high wall and enter the city.

After some research on the Witch Array laid inside the high wall, Herag soon discovered that this Witch Array was a super Witch Array composed of individual nodes, likely above the Level 3 Witch Array level.

Fully unraveling such a complex super Witch Array seemed nearly impossible; even if Shenlan could resolve it, it would take an eternity.

Herag couldn't crouch in this corner for his whole life.

Herag thought for a moment and quickly came up with some ideas.

Under current circumstances, fully unraveling this Witch Array seemed almost impossible.

However, he didn't need to completely crack the Witch Array; he only needed to stop this node from working for a moment to get through.

Herag quickly adjusted his mindset; since the super Witch Array within the high wall was composed of node Witch Arrays, then if one could temporarily stop a node from functioning, he could use that time to scale the wall.

"Shenlan, enter the structural data of this Witch Array and analyze a method to make one of the nodes temporarily stop functioning."

"Task documented, estimated completion time: four hours and fifty minutes," Shenlan replied.

Due to the extensive nature of this super Witch Array, Shenlan needed a lengthy analysis and calculation time.

Shenlan first needed a comprehensive view of the Witch Array, followed by calculating a solution to the problem.

Herag looked at the high wall left and right; a node's Witch Array could probably envelop a five hundred meter long section of the wall.

He kept an eye on his surroundings, with no movement for the moment.

It was quiet all around, and a thick fog had risen outside the high wall, which was good news for Herag.

The fog did not hinder his vision but could obstruct others' views.

The over four-hour wait felt slightly long at this moment.

Herag had to maintain his spiritual power at a high concentration, attentive to the movements around.

Whenever the sound of the wind blew, Herag would carefully observe the situation over there.

...

"Task completed; the following method can briefly stop the node's operation."

After a long wait, Shenlan provided the results.

Herag quickly browsed through the results Shenlan provided and understood the rationale behind this method.

The nodes of this super Witch Array continuously communicate. A node persistently sends signals to its neighboring nodes, indicating that it is functioning normally.

Every node does so, and when receiving signals from other nodes, it replies to indicate receipt.

Shenlan's method was to first input runes at the node's communication point to control it, then have Herag continuously send signals to the neighboring nodes that everything is normal with him.

Subsequently, he would cease the node's operation briefly.

Initially, once this node stopped functioning, the other nodes without receiving information from this node, while also not getting responses to their signals sent to this node, would determine that something was amiss here.
