Chapter 52 The Strange Prisoners

Although this divine prison is very large, there are not many prisoners in it. Although there are no less than 3,000 cells densely packed on both sides of the extra-long corridor, most of them are empty. The doors of the empty cells were not closed at all, they were all open, and the total number of doors that were actually closed was less than thirty, which meant that there were only about twenty prisoners here.

"Does it look empty?" Ling stretched his head and glanced at the row of almost empty rooms.

I nodded, then summoned the flying bird and let it fly quickly from one end of the passage to the other side and then rush back. This was done to test whether there was any mechanism in this passage, and second, to let the flying bird guard the cell. Give me the number to investigate, so that I won't have to go back through several miles of passages to find the key when I find the closed cell.

The passage that is completely in a straight line is not a problem at all for flying birds. As long as the wings are slightly tightened, they can easily fly through it. And flying back and forth proves that there are no mechanisms in the passage, at least no other than foot-operated ones. organ. After getting the room number reported by Asuka, I found the corresponding numbered key from the wall, and then quickly ran into the passage with the pile of keys.

The first half of this passage is almost entirely empty. The first room containing prisoners is No. 1800, located halfway down the passage. After walking to the door, I first studied the door and found that in addition to the keyhole, there was a device for inputting magic power on the door. Since such a thing is designed here, it must be useful, and this thing doesn't look like an anti-theft system, so I still tried to input a little magic power into it.

With the injection of my magic power, a blue rotating magic circle suddenly appeared on the stone door, and then the magic circle suddenly flashed and turned into a hole. Through this big hole, you can go directly through the door and see the scene inside the door. I immediately understood that this was actually an observation window, the same as the observation window on the main door in the prison. Through this big hole, I can see that there is a "big"-shaped metal frame in the cell behind the door, and locked on the frame is a humanoid creature that looks like a mummy, but because this guy's body is even covered with eyes. He got up, so I don't know what race he is at all. I can only see that he has human form.

After confirming that the guy was tied up, I opened the stone door with the corresponding key. What you see when you open the door is obviously more intuitive than what you see through the observation window. The guy in front of me has metal fixing rings two fingers wide and one finger thick all on his forehead, throat, wrists, elbows, shoulders, chest, waist, thigh heels, knees and ankles, and there is no trace on the surface of these rings. It's not glittering, which means a permanent strengthening magic circle is fixed on it. But compared to these, the scariest thing was the area under his left chest. There seemed to be a hole in that place, and a transparent pipe that was thinner than your wrist was connected to the hole, and the other end of the pipe was connected to a port on the ground. Through this transparent pipe, I can see some light green liquid slowly flowing out of the pipe and flowing along the pipe into the interface on the ground.

"What is this? Is it for collecting bile?" I asked Ling in surprise as I looked at the tube.

Ling shook his head: "I don't know about this. After all, I haven't done any such research! But it's easy to find out. Just remove everything on him and you'll understand."

"That's right." I said and put Eternity on the side of the metal ring on the guy's forehead, and then pressed hard. There was only a crisp sound as the metal retaining ring broke. But as soon as the thing was removed, the guy who was fixed shook his head wildly, obviously emotionally unstable. I didn't care whether he was struggling or not, I just put my hand on his head and tore off the white cloth wrapping his head. What I tore off at first was still white cloth, but the further I went, the more I felt something was wrong, because the cloth strips inside not only exuded a stench, but also became darker and darker, and some of them even had obvious yellow spots.

"Is this guy an undead creature?" Ling reminded.

I looked at other parts of the guy's body and finally decided to take out his mouth and eyes first. It would have been okay if I didn't pull it open, but as soon as I pulled it away, my face immediately turned from red to green, and then I turned around and vomited wildly. I wouldn't throw up when I see something disgusting. The key is the taste in this guy's mouth. Just after I cut the strip of cloth around his mouth, a stench comparable to poisonous gas suddenly hit my face, instantly making me dizzy and making my stomach churn.

"I told you he was undead!" Ling saw that I was vomiting so much that he quickly came over and handed me a handkerchief, and then opened a miniature black hole to suck out all the stench from the room like a vacuum cleaner.

I vomited for a long time, almost vomiting out the bile before I calmed down a little. After wiping my mouth, I simply put down the mask. The mask of the Shenlong suit is fully sealed, and has filtering and oxygen supply functions. It can deal with poisonous gas without any problem, not to mention the stench.

"What the hell is this guy?" I asked a little uncomfortable.

Ling went up to look at the monster's mouth, and then carefully cut off the gauze on his head with a knife before replying: "This is a corrosion monster, a very rare undead creature. In the past, I saw one when I was in the Dark Temple, but it was not as high as this level."

"Corrosion monster? Does it look like a zombie that's about to melt?"

"Actually, the corrosive monster is an undead creature of the zombie family. Its last form was the very common rotting zombie. However, generally rotting zombies rarely evolve. Even if they evolve, they will most likely turn into green fur zombies or iron zombies. Zombies and other things that evolve into corrosion monsters are extremely rare special mutations."

"Are these mutated zombies powerful?"

Ling shook his head. "The corrosion monster's basic combat power is only equivalent to that of ordinary zombies, and because it has rotted so badly that it has even lost its vision, its actual combat ability is not as good as that of ordinary zombies."

"That means this thing is actually very weak?"

Ling confirmed: "It's not just weak, it's very weak. Generally, as long as the monster is not too idiotic, it can easily defeat him. Even if it can't be killed, you can leave him alone. Anyway, the Corrosion Monster is basically a passive-aggressive creature, and it is almost impossible to kill him." Will actively attack others."

After hearing Ling's explanation, I am even more confused now. If this corrosion monster is very powerful, then it is understandable that the Russian protoss would lock it in this dungeon, but this guy is a waste with no fighting ability at all. Even if this prison is relatively empty, if the Russian Protoss wants to capture some ordinary creatures to make up the numbers, there is no need to capture such weak things, right?

After thinking about it, I still think that the Russian Protoss would not put a corrosive monster here for no reason. Since it is here, there must be a reason. After looking at this guy all over for a while, I was suddenly attracted to the tube on his belly. If it is a very strange behavior to lock the Corrosion Monster here, then it is even more wrong to drill a hole in his body to install a pipe, so this pipe must be the key to the Russian Protoss catching it.

"Get out of the way." After I asked Ling to step back, I took out the Eternal and fiercely cut off the fixed ring on the guy's stomach, and then used the Eternal to lift the gauze on his body, revealing the severely rotten body of. Locating the location where the pipe was connected, I quickly used my sword to cut off the piece of belly where the pipe mouth was connected. Then, with the tip of the sword outward, I instantly opened a hole in the corrosion monster's belly, and along with it The pipe was also dug out.

Although Ling didn't get my notification, she guessed my intention after seeing my behavior. "Master, do you want to see what is extracted from that tube?"

I nodded and pushed aside the pile of rotten meat with Eternity, and found a small peach-shaped object. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that it was a heart. "Is this tube pumping the blood of the corrosive monster?" I asked, looking at the rotten peach-like heart on the ground.

Ling understood the intention of the Russian protoss as soon as she heard it. She immediately explained to me: "Although the corrosion monster has little combat power, it is generally rarely attacked by other monsters. This is mainly because of its blood. Corrosion monster There is a kind of green blood flowing in the monster's veins, and the Dark Temple often collects that kind of thing, because it is a very powerful magic corrosive."

"Magic corrosive? Is this the thing?" I looked at the green liquid flowing out of the rotten peach on the ground in surprise. I didn't expect that something with the same disgusting color and smell would be a valuable product. High auxiliary supplies.

Magic corrosive is not actually a medicine, but a collective name for many liquids with the same function. All magic corrosives must have a very important attribute, that is - magic sequence destruction. The so-called magic is the product of regularizing magic power. For example, if you concentrate the fire elements in the air and animate them, then you can get a fireball, and if they are arranged in a straight line, it will be a wall of fire. Anyway, magic always has certain rules. However, magic corrosive can break this rule. It can make the magic around you chaotic. If your magic control level is not high enough, you will be doomed. Not only will the magic not be released, but it may also backfire on you. However, rather than being used to disrupt the opponent's spellcasting, magic corrosive is actually used more to open holes in the magic shield. No matter how powerful the magic protective barrier is, a big hole will be burned out if it gets even a little bit. For the magic shield, this magic corrosive is just like sulfuric acid, causing a big hole when touched.

"The Russian protoss collected the blood of this corrosive beast. Are they planning to test some new weapon against the protective shield?" I said to myself with some uncertainty.

Ling shook his head helplessly and said: "I'm afraid the Russian Protoss will know about this later. I think we should go check out other rooms first."

"Okay." I said and took the lead to leave the room. The heart of the corrosive monster I dug out just now has completely died. In addition, all the internal organs in its body are rotten into a mess. Therefore, unlike normal people, it is not hanging in the stomach, but all piled up in the lower half of the stomach. Duan, after I dug out that big hole just now, not only did my heart come out, but also other internal organs. It made the room smell so bad that even Ling's black hole had no time to suck it in. Fortunately, this room has a door. After you come out, you can reseal the door and no matter how disgusting the smell is, it won't come out.

After leaving this room, we checked a dozen more rooms along the way, and found that none of them contained powerful creatures. If the Russian protoss hadn't said this was a prison before, I might have thought I had entered the Exhibition Hall of Strange Creatures. The creatures imprisoned in the room here are really all kinds of strange things, and there are all kinds of rare things, and these things all have one thing in common, that is, they have one or two very special attributes, which are not as good as the blood of corrosive monsters. It's a natural magic corrosive, and most of the monsters behind it also have weird attributes of one kind or another.

Because the collected weird creatures didn't have high combat effectiveness and basically couldn't communicate, so in order to cause the Russian protoss as much trouble as possible, I killed them all. Anyway, it's impossible to get them to help rush out. If I let them go, they might attack me again. Leaving them alone will only make things easier for the Russian Protoss, so I'll just kill them all so that the Russian Protoss will want to study these things again. You have to find another way to find things.

After killing a large group of all kinds of weird things, we finally found something even weirder than before in the twenty-sixth open room. When I pushed open the door, I was stunned by the sight in front of me. I took two steps back and stepped back. I raised my head and scanned the top and sides of the door to make sure I didn't find anything. Then he came back after reading the sign "Freezer".

The room in front of me is not very big, but the whole room is filled with a layer of white cold air. There is a thick layer of ice hanging on the roof and walls. Even with my anti-freeze attribute, 'You can feel a distinct chill when you walk in. Of course, if it was just cold, I wouldn't think of this place as a freezer. The key is that in this empty room, there is only an iron hook hanging in the middle of the room, and a piece as big as a ham hangs on the tip of the hook. pieces of meat. Of course, the outside of this piece of meat is also covered with a thick layer of ice, which looks like a big ice mass. Apart from this piece of meat and that hook, it can be said that there is only ice left in this room. Since the Russian protoss locked up such a room, it meant that there was a prisoner here, and the prisoner was obviously not ice, so the only thing that could be linked to the prisoner was the piece of meat. But the question is, does a piece of meat need to be put in a cell?

"Ling, do you know what this is?" I turned around and asked Ling, who was very knowledgeable.

It's a pity that although Ling is rich in knowledge, he doesn't know everything yet. She shook her head and said, "This is just a piece of meat, how do you want me to recognize it?"

"Can't you sense anything special up there?"

Ling shook his head. "This piece of meat has no magic power fluctuations at all, and the life breath is so weak that it is almost zero, but the spiritual energy in it is very powerful."

"Could this be a spiritual body?" As soon as I said it, I overturned my previous conjecture. "No, that's not right. The spiritual body cannot be sealed by freezing. The spiritual body you feel should be the spiritual power of the original owner of this piece of meat. But just such a piece of meat has such powerful spiritual power. If it Is it okay if it’s complete?”

Ling corrected: "No, this spiritual body is complete. I can feel that there is a complete soul in this soul, but this soul is in a dormant state now."

"A complete soul?" I was slightly surprised, and then looked at the piece of meat again. Now it is basically certain that this piece of meat is the prisoner in this cell, but the Russian protoss is really perverted enough to put a piece of meat into the cell. I don't know what to do now.

I had killed all the prisoners in the cells before, but that was an act of causing trouble for the Russian Protoss without cooperation, but what should I do with this piece of meat? Cooperate with it? I don’t even know what this is, how can we cooperate? Kill it? How to kill a piece of meat? Cut into minced meat? Besides, even if cutting it into minced meat can kill it, I won’t actually cut it, because if I want to cut it into pieces, I have to remove the ice first, but since this thing is sealed with ice, it means Once it leaves the frozen state, it is possible to regain its combat effectiveness. Otherwise, there is no need to freeze it so exaggeratedly. However, if I smash the ice and it suddenly regains its fighting power, and I happen to be unable to defeat this thing, wouldn't I be unlucky?

I was worrying about whether or not to smash the ice, but this thing in front of me helped me make the decision. Just hearing a thud, it felt like someone was banging a big drum in our ears, but I knew that there was actually no sound at all. That thumping drum is not a sound, but a soul shock wave, and it is our souls that feel the vibration. And as this soul vibration spread, we suddenly heard a second soul shock wave, and this time it was more powerful and steady than the last time. As the two consecutive shock waves spread, the thumping sound began to gradually enter a stable frequency like the beating of the heart, and the sound also gradually became smaller. But Ling and I both know that it is not that the voice has shrunk, but that the soul that emits the soul shock wave is awakening. It has begun to consciously restrain its spiritual pulse, causing us to think that the voice is getting smaller. In fact, it is not that its mental activity has become weaker. , but no longer spread outwards.

As the pulsing sound disappeared, the piece of frozen meat in front of him suddenly shrank, and then a click was heard, and the ice on the surface of the piece of meat suddenly exploded into a pile of broken ice slag.

"Ling, come here quickly, that thing is going to be resurrected!" Seeing this, I immediately pulled Ling behind me and prepared for battle. If that thing really came to life and was hostile to us, I would Block it first. With Ling, a powerful mage, behind us, ordinary creatures should not be our opponents. But judging from the mental shock wave just now, this thing probably won’t be that easy to deal with!
