"Professor Chu, when did you enter Huangquan City?" Zhou Wen asked directly.

If this Chu He is really the Chu He professor of the Imperial Capital Academy, then the Chu He professor who went to Zhuolu is likely to be an impostor.

However, the imposter has not been discovered for so long, which means that Professor Chu He should have come to the Great Desert very early, so no one will see him again, otherwise the impostor should have been discovered a long time ago.

If it is inferred in this way, Professor Chu He should have entered Huangquan City very early, otherwise he would definitely contact the outside world, and someone from the outside world should know that he was in the Great Desert, not Zhuolu.

The fact is that no one knows about this situation at all, and even Chu He's family thinks that he is in Zhuolu, which is very wrong.

If it weren't for someone deliberately cutting off Professor Chu He's connection with the outside world, it would be that he had entered Huangquan City very early, so no one would know that he was here.

But with the existence of the three iron laws of Huangquan City, how did Professor Chu He survive?

"What time?" Professor Chu He looked at him strangely and said, "It's today, didn't you come in with a big sandstorm today?"

"Today, didn't you contact your family before you came in?" Zhou Wen asked in disbelief.

"There is no signal at all in the desert, how can I contact my family? It was only half a month ago, I went to the outside city to contact my family once, and I was very excited to tell them that I had made a major discovery and would soon go back to reunite with them, but I didn't expect ......" Chu He's face was full of sadness.

Zhou Wen was completely stunned at this moment, Chu He had contacted his family half a month ago, so why hadn't his family mentioned this matter? His family had never mentioned Chu He's coming to Taklamagan.

Now Zhou Wenhe can't go back immediately and ask Chu He's family what the hell is going on.

In Zhou Wen's opinion, this is no accident, there are two Chu He professors who appear in different places, there must be someone behind the scenes.

"Who is doing these things? If Chu He of the Zhuolu Expedition Team is fake, then what does the fake Chu He want to do when he infiltrates the expedition team? Could the disappearance of the old principal have anything to do with him?" Zhou Wen thought of this, and his mind became lively.

If someone did capture the old headmaster, then it is possible that the old headmaster is still alive.

Liuyun was a little anxious, Zhou Wen asked for a long time, but he didn't ask serious questions, he had to ask himself: "Professor Chu, you came earlier than us, do you know what's going on here? What is that dimensional creature that appeared on it just now?"

"That's the city lord of Huangquan, the bronze bell on it will ring every hour, just like the clock at home, when the bell rings seven times a day, he will appear, throw the dice, and take a human life...... Chu He said with a trembling body.

"Wait, you said that when the bell rings seven times a day, that is, you have been here for more than a day, right?" Zhou Wen found the problem in Chu He's words.

Chu He said with a wry smile: "I also heard what others said, you also saw it just now, the Huangquan City Lord really appeared, and took people's lives, maybe it will be my turn tomorrow." But my worries are also unnecessary, I don't know if I can survive today, and I'm worried about what I'll do tomorrow. ”

Liuyun was suddenly disappointed, originally thinking that he could find someone who understood and inquire about some news about Huangquan City, but who knew that Chu He actually entered Huangquan City on the same day as them, just a little earlier than them.

After taking a closer look at Chu He's feet, he found that he still had one hundred and thirty-two steps left, which was less than Zhou Wen's number of steps.

"Professor Chu, have you heard anything else about Huangquan City and the Huangquan City Lord?" Liuyun continued to ask unwillingly.

To Liuyun's surprise, Chu He knew a lot more than he imagined.

According to the news that Chu He heard, the three iron laws of Huangquan City must not be violated, otherwise he will die immediately.

And the distance of a stone slab is a number, whether it is forward and backward, or repeatedly sideways left and right, it will be counted.

Once the number reaches zero, it means that death has arrived.

Chu He saw with his own eyes that a person blew himself up and died because the number was zero, exactly the same situation as the middle-aged man who died just now.

It is said that if you want to leave Huangquan City alive, there is only one way, that is, to walk to the end of the long street, step on the stone steps, reach the Huangquan Shrine, and ring the bronze bell on it before you can leave Huangquan City.

"It's impossible, there are at least two or three thousand stone slabs from here to the stone steps, and we can't even reach the stone steps with such a small number of steps, let alone walk up the stone steps and ring the bronze bell. Liuyun said with a frown.

"It's not impossible to increase the number of steps, just wait until the next hour, the gates on both sides of the long street will open, and you will have a chance to get steps at that time. Chu He pointed to the buildings next to them with closed doors and said.

"Do those shops sell steps?What are we going to buy?Is it money or dimensional crystal?" asked Liuyun, looking at the shops on both sides of the long street.

"No, they're not shops, they're torture chambers, where you can be tortured in exchange for steps. The punishment in each torture room is different, and if you receive different punishments, you can get a different number of steps......" Chu He's eyes revealed fear when he spoke.

Zhou Wen and Liuyun were dumbfounded when they heard this, according to Chu He, there were various punishments such as burning, burning, and knife punishment in those torture chambers.

Being burned on the chest with a piece of red-hot iron, and scorching the flesh and skin, was a punishment that could be exchanged for five steps.

There are also ten fingers pricked with a needle, which can be exchanged for ten steps, and a knife to scrape off a piece of meat can be obtained in one step.

Although all kinds of punishments do not require human life, they make people's hearts beat when they are heard.

"So, as long as we can endure the pain, we can get enough steps to walk up the stone steps?" Liuyun said.

Not exactly, every punishment is rewarded with steps only for the first time. Chu He said.

Zhou Wen immediately went to count how many torture chambers there were on both sides of the street, and according to the news inquired by Chu He, a torture chamber would probably be able to get about ten steps.

"Two hundred and thirty-nine torture rooms, if calculated according to the number of steps that can be obtained in each torture room, then you can get more than two thousand steps, so many steps, can you walk up the stone steps?" Zhou Wen estimated in his heart, it should feel similar, but this is only an estimate, not necessarily accurate.

"Little junior brother, we seem to have made a mistake...... Liuyun's face was a little ugly, and he also thought of the same question as Zhou Wen.

The number of steps is very tight, and I am afraid that I will have to go to all the torture chambers before I can ascend to the Huangquan Divine Throne.

But along the way, they have missed many torture chambers, and now when they walk back and back, they will waste a lot of steps, so that the number of steps that are already small will become even less.
