Chapter 229 Is the Cost a Bit Too High?

The unfree Pat is a guy covered with scales and hair, bound by dozens of thick chains in the depths of the cage valley.

He has the physical characteristics of both humans and beasts, which is the symbol of the half-demon clan.

It didn't take Qin Chuan too much time to find and kill the other party.

Or it can be said that the key is after killing.

Behind Pat, deep in the valley blocked by the surrounding rocks, there is a huge cave with an entrance more than ten meters high.

All signs indicate that Pat is just a bound guard, a poor "unfree man".

Walking into the cave, Qin Chuan took the copy clue [Immortal Candle] obtained when he came, and saw with the help of the weak light that the rock wall was dug out of a stone prison. There is not even a slot for inserting a torch, and it seems that there is no place for lighting.

If the vicious people who were once imprisoned in this prison can only live in a long darkness, it is indeed a very terrible thing.

At this moment, there are no living things in these stone prisons, but the corpses that were once imprisoned here and have died have not been cleaned up.

With the help of the firelight, Qin Chuan saw the hideousness and pain of these corpses before they died. It was the great despair that could still be felt through the dried flesh and blood.

Relying on the hint of the first talent of the sundial, he quickly found the second copy clue.

It was a somewhat special stone room in the cave, where there were flat tables and chairs and bookshelves, and there was a slot that was just right for placing the [Eternal Candle].

Obviously, this stone room was not used to imprison the extremely evil.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the copy clue: the prison record of the warden]

The warden? It turns out that there is such a thing.

Qin Chuan looked at the neatly arranged book clips on the bookshelf. At this moment, the foreign text on them had been translated into Chinese characters. It was a string of time serial numbers corresponding to the date of imprisonment.

Taking out a book clip at random and spreading it out, Qin Chuan saw the record at the top.

[On January 12, 3828 of the Sky Calendar, Solas, a serious criminal of the Ghost Clan, was imprisoned in the 742nd stone prison of the Cage Valley as the 742nd prisoner. 】

【Prisoner No. 742 is in the prison...】

Then there was a shocking imprisonment process.

As soon as he was imprisoned, the ghost named Solas had all his powers taken away. In this lightless cave prison, he was only allowed to "eat" at a fixed time every day.

This eating was not provided by the prisoner, but the prison doors of each stone prison were temporarily opened to block the entire stone prison, so that the prisoners could not escape, but had the opportunity to contact each other.

The prisoners imprisoned here were both eaters and food themselves.

After the "eating" time was over, the living prisoners would be sent back to the stone prison, waiting for the next "eating" time to begin.

After only 22 days of imprisonment, the ghost named Solas died in wailing.

And this was not an isolated case.

Qin Chuan looked through the records of other criminals, and only a few could survive here for 30 days.

After reading dozens of records in a row, as the strategy rating was upgraded to S, Qin Chuan left with the [Eternal Candle] and continued to go deeper into the cave.

Deeper in the cave, he finally saw other living creatures in this dungeon besides Pat. They were prisoners of various races with incomplete bodies, crazy faces, and different races.

The "eating time" that just happened to arrive opened the doors of all the stone cells. Those extremely hungry prisoners rushed towards Qin Chuan, who had just arrived, without reason, and then died.

At the moment of death, there was no pain on their faces, only the relief they showed when they finally woke up.

As the rating was upgraded to SS, the words in the dungeon introduction flashed through Qin Chuan's mind.

"And now, the Cage Valley has a new meaning. It is the last salvation of the vicious people before they lead to despair."

An absurd idea suddenly came to his mind.

Death in the Cage Valley is salvation for the vicious people?

If so...

What a terrifying place is the Semia Abyss?

Looking at a stone passage not far ahead that was obviously opened later than the stone prison, Qin Chuan took a deep breath.

When fighting just now, he noticed that those crazy prisoners almost tried their best to stay away from the entrance of that passage, as if there was something there that made them extremely afraid.

He had a hunch that the other side of the passage was the Semia Abyss.

Holding the [Eternal Candle] tightly in his hand, Qin Chuan stepped into the passage step by step. The echoes of wailing and despair seemed to be sealed here forever, and they echoed in the entire passage for a long time.

After walking hundreds of meters, Qin Chuan was blocked by a hazy light film.

That was the boundary of the dungeon.

On the other side of the light film, the flashing blood light in the darkness illuminated a corner of the hell scene. There were terrifying creatures looking over here, which made Qin Chuan's hair stand on end instantly.

[Congratulations to the player for reaching the advanced strategy requirements: First glimpse of the abyss, the dungeon strategy rating is upgraded to: SSS]

[Current dungeon strategy rating: SSS]

After receiving the dungeon reward, Qin Chuan reappeared in the dormitory, showing a thoughtful look.

He thought that the Cage Valley, which was the same B-level as the Demon Forest, could allow him to enter the Semia Abyss and gather the three treasures needed to use Krai's gift to mix the [Cleansing Spirit Water].

But he seemed to have underestimated the difficulty of this matter.

And it was far underestimated.

With just a cursory glance, Qin Chuan was able to determine that Semia Abyss was a very terrifying place.

If this was also a copy, then its level would definitely exceed A level.

"Karayi." Qin Chuan's mind flashed with the woman with moon-blue skin and silver-white hair, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Isn't the cost of your cleansing spirit water a bit too high?"

——

In the girls' dormitory on the other side, Lin Yue smiled and listened to Zheng Xiaoyu and the other two roommates talking about interesting things in the dormitory party, and finished the barbecue packed for herself.

"The barbecue in that store is really delicious." Lin Yue said seriously.

"Really?" Qiao Chang laughed, "I know you want it lighter, so I specifically asked them to sprinkle as little chili and cumin as possible."

"This is just right." Lin Yue stretched out her tongue and licked the remaining taste on her lips, "How much?"

"No need to AA, someone has already treated us!" Song Yuxin laughed on the side, "Qin Chuan secretly paid the bill."

Lin Yue remembered this name in her heart.

If there is a chance, you have to say thank you to each other.

After the four girls washed up, they went to bed and chatted about gossip and each other's experiences until late at night.

When the dormitory was quiet, Lin Yue thought for a moment, picked up her phone and sent a message.

A buzzing sound came from the bed next to her head.

Zheng Xiaoyu turned on her phone.

[Lin Yue: After entering the dream world and seeing Luo, can you keep it a secret for me? ]

[Lin Yue: He is also in Yanda, but I don’t want him to know about my situation for the time being. ]

“Eh?” Zheng Xiaoyu’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t help but look up at Lin Yue, and then put his head back on the pillow.

Got it! The vice president didn’t want the president to know that she was in a wheelchair!

After all, the vice president just mentioned that she should be able to walk normally in a while.

No wonder the vice president had to wear a mask to hide her identity.

Her secret, I must keep it well!

Zheng Xiaoyu’s eyes showed determination.

[Zheng Xiaoyu: No problem! ]
