At this time, the real Xiao Qing had just been taken to a dark cell and locked up. Xiao Qing pretended to be unconscious the whole time.

The guards threw Xiao Qing on a pile of hay and locked the door and went out. This is arguably the most secluded cell. Only a few people know what came in. Usually someone reports it, but the emperor can't find it when he sends someone to investigate. It's surrounded by thick stone walls, and you can't hear it even if you shout it in your throat. It took a few days for someone to deliver food, and usually no one came in. Entering here is equivalent to entering the ghost gate. Therefore, the cell bosses didn't pay attention to the people who came in at all, and they were drugged, and no one paid attention to them.

As soon as the detainees left, Xiao Qing opened his eyes and stood up.

It seems that this is a very old secret room. The stone walls all around were old, and some oil lamps hung far away from the walls, emitting a dim light. The entire stone chamber gives people a depressing and weird feeling, and if you are locked here for a long time, you will definitely go crazy. Xiao Qing took out a small light dagger in the mezzanine under his boots. With a slight slash, Xiao Qing cut off the chain of the cell door.

"Sure enough, it's a good knife, I didn't expect the gift of Wuwei Gongzi to be so intimate. ”

Xiao Qing looked at the knife in his hand and said to himself.

Xiao Qing's position is not able to see which way to go. It's just that Xiao Qing remembered that the guards went to the right. Xiao Qing is not worried, since he is here, let's take a look around and see who else the old witch has locked up, maybe there is any surprise?

Xiao Qing walked to the left, and along the way, in addition to the stone wall, there were several cells, but they were all empty. Xiao Qing turned a corner, and it turned out to be a dead end?

"How is it possible, what are you doing with a turn in a dead end?"

Xiao Qing couldn't help but think about it when he faced a stone wall. Xiao Qing did not rush back, but carefully observed around the stone wall, and touched and knocked around the stone wall with his hands. Sure enough, they were all hard, thick stone walls, and there were no hollow places. It seems that there should be some button, Xiao Qing touched it carefully on the stone wall again.

Suddenly, Xiao Qing smiled at the corner of his mouth. She found that there was an inconspicuous fist-sized slight bulge in the left corner, and as Xiao Qing exerted his strength slightly, the bulge sank a little, and the stone wall actually opened a gap one person wide. A fishy breath came directly to the face. Xiao Qing was not afraid, he dodged in directly, and the stone wall was naturally closed again.

It's even darker here. As soon as Xiao Qing distinguished, he knew that this fishy smell contained highly poisonous, and he would be dead after a long time, but fortunately, Xiao Qing was not afraid.

Xiao Qing stabilized and adapted to the light, and sure enough, Xiao Qing came in and didn't move in a hurry. Less than half a foot in front of you is deep black water, which doesn't look good.

In the distance, a high platform appeared to be a huge iron cage. I don't know what's locked up inside! The iron cage and the high platform are both high up in the sky. From the foot where Xiao Qing is now standing to the high platform, he can only step on the small high platform one meter above the water. And these small high platforms are just small stone piers that can only accommodate one person to stand on both feet.

And the whole stone chamber and the rest of the ground were dark black calm water. There are no waves on the surface of the water, and I don't know how deep it is. And Xiao Qing could feel the poisonous gas faintly rising in the water. It seems that if you are not careful, you will fall into the water and be poisoned. Xiao Qing was not in a hurry to go inside, she believed that Xiao Gaotai would never be able to pass easily. Although the line of sight was not good, Xiao Qing used his spiritual power to probe and found that the surrounding stone walls were full of small holes. Maybe as soon as you step on the stone pier, you will shoot thousands of arrows, and even if you don't get shot, you will fall into the water and be poisoned. That mechanism should be within reach. But Xiao Qing searched for a long time and found nothing.

Xiao Qing was a little undecided.

"Who is the friend on the other side?

Xiao Qing asked in a steady and soft voice. It is extremely close to the sound here, and it seems to be magnified several times just by speaking softly.

"The first one doesn't touch, and every other step in the future, and the last one doesn't touch. ”

The voice was hoarse, and Xiao Qing felt more like it was said in his own ears.

Xiao Qing walked in according to this person's words, in short, she was not afraid. Even if that person is not right, it doesn't matter. First of all, she is not afraid of poison in the water, and secondly, she also feels that she can dodge the arrows. It turns out that Xiao Qing's trust is right. Sure enough, what that person said was right, Xiao Qing easily walked through the stone piers. Come to the high platform inside.

But when Xiao Qing saw the creatures in the cage on the high platform, Xiao Qing was stunned and angry. Then Xiao Qing walked quickly to the front of the cage. Xiao Qing had never felt so angry, and Xiao Qing, who was angry, trembled slightly.

Inside the cage was a huge python. If he just kept the python in a cage, Xiao Qing would not be so angry.

It's the posture of the person who bends the python, and the iron hoop that holds the python in a cage. The head of the python was fixed to the wall of the cage by an iron hoop, and the snake's mouth slightly exposed the cage. It seems to be for the convenience of obtaining its venom. However, this iron hoop is obviously much thinner than a snake, and the whole is embedded in the snake's body, which is lower than the height of the python's epidermis. Slightly downward, there is an identical hoop at the snake's seven inches.

Xiao Qing looked over in turn, and there were as many as nine iron hoops, fixing the snake's whole body like multiple vertical waves. The snake was firmly anchored in its cage and could not move at all.

"Where this is captivity, it is clearly abuse. Who is so cruel to treat it like this? ”

At this time, Xiao Qing was completely carried away by anger, and she simply forgot who she was talking to. Xiao Qing stepped forward with a dagger and said to the python almost with tears in his eyes.

"Don't be afraid, don't move, I'll cut the hoop, but the hoop is too small, I'm afraid it will hurt you, don't move." ”

Although Xiao Qing didn't know why he wanted to save this python, Xiao Qing knew that he had to save it. No matter what it takes. Originally, Xiao Qing was a caring person, but now when he enters and exits the elf world, he comes into contact with animals. Xiao Qing has a special affection for animals. Especially with such an abused animal, Xiao Qing couldn't bear it.

"When I get you out, if I find out who did this to you, I will definitely break him to pieces. If it is an old witch, I will give her another crime, and I will never let her die easily. ”

Xiao Qing muttered to himself while carefully observing the posture of the python, while thinking about whether the python would still be able to support its body once a certain iron ring was cut.

"I'm afraid you don't have the strength anymore, and if you lose the support of the iron ring, I'm afraid you'll fall to the ground entirely. Or some of them will fall, and some of them will still be stuck in the hoop, and I'm afraid that will hurt you a second time. I'll have to see how best I can get you out. ”

Xiao Qing took a closer look and felt that he still had to start from the tail. can reduce the chance of this problem occurring.

"Let's start with the tail, I see that your tail is not as tight as your head, don't move!"

Xiao Qing actually knew that what he said was in vain, although this python was big, it was not an animal in the elf world after all, and he could understand Xiao Qing's words. But Xiao Qing felt that talking to it might be able to soothe its emotions! In fact, Xiao Qing felt that he could soothe himself even more.

Xiao Qing cut open the iron pillars of several cages and squeezed to the python with great effort. The scales of anacondas are hard. Maybe it's a good thing, it's not easy to let it hurt. Xiao Qing mastered the strength and accuracy, went down with a dagger, and cut a crack in the iron ring. Xiao Qing looked at it and felt that something was wrong.

"It's not good, it's wrong, so there is no way to cut the direction below, the cut is small, and the snake tail can't be taken out. Wait a minute, I'll cut it on the side. ”

Xiao Qing explained to the big snake while doing it, but in fact, Xiao Qing was explaining to herself, and she had no bottom in her heart. Moreover, without saying anything, Xiao Qing couldn't calm his anger.

Xiao Qing finally cut the first one and took down the upper part of the iron hoop.

"I'll carry you down! If you have the strength, borrow a little strength!"

Xiao Qing picked up part of the python's body and put it next to him, fortunately, it was more successful. The python barely moved, where it was placed. Xiao Qing was even more distressed.
