Chapter 159: Fellow Prisoners
(Read the full text without pop-ups)
Li Qingzhi lay upright on the cell floor, rolling his eyes, his skin was charred, and he was smoking. γChinese Net. Chu Lingfeng squatted in front of him, stretched out his fingers, poked him lightly in the face, and whispered, "You...... Still alive? β
Li Qing did not react for a while. After a long while, he rolled his eyes slightly, indicating that he had not lost his breath.
"It's good to be alive." Chu Lingfeng sighed, poked him in the face again, and said with a distressed expression: "Look at you, your whole body is burned." Do you hurt? β
"I ...... Very...... It took a lot of effort to ...... Li Qingcai, who was paralyzed by electricity, barely moved his mouth and tongue, and said in a weak and intermittent voice: "Don't ...... Poke again...... It hurts so much......"
When he was just electrocuted, Li Qing was paralyzed, and almost every inch of skin on his body was unconscious. By now, the paralysis had slowly dissipated, replaced by a sharp pain like pins and needles all over the body. Chu Lingfeng's soft fingers poked lightly at his face, making him feel as if he had been slowly stripped of his flesh and bones by a steel knife. If he hadn't been strong-willed, he would have burst into tears by now.
"Does it really hurt that much?" Chu Lingfeng said in disbelief: "The last time you were shot hundreds of times, you didn't scream in pain. β
"If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself." Li Qing's voice was still very weak, but he finally spoke sharply.
He was also depressed at this time. The lightning that erupted from the cell door was more powerful than he could have imagined. With his current strong physique, he was actually electrocuted in one fell swoop, and his whole body was scorched, and his heart ached. It was really ten times more painful than the last time he was shot more than 100 times.
Chu Lingfeng waved his hand and said, "I'm still exempt." You can't stand it, let alone me. If you are electrified, you may just hang up. Speaking of this, she pursed her lips and said with a solemn expression: "It seems that your beautiful man plan has completely failed." That Aya, if she has the slightest affection for you, will not fail to remind you that there is a high voltage electricity on the cell door. I think she clearly wants to see you laugh. β
"There is not high-voltage electricity on the cell door, there is a magic array."
Li Qing admitted that his beautiful male plan had completely failed, but he still refused to admit defeat: "In addition, you made a mistake, what happened to me just shows that the beautiful male plan has taken the first step to success." Otherwise, why wouldn't she look at other people's jokes, but mine? You must know that some girls who have no experience in love and have a strong personality like to play some pranks and watch the man they like to mess with. This is the same reason that little boys always like to pin and pinch the little girls they like. β
Chu Lingfeng said suspiciously: "Really? She has no experience in love, and she usually doesn't care about this aspect of things, so she really can't judge the truth of Li Qing's words.
"Trust me, that's right." Li Qing was categorical and said confidently: "That girl can't escape from my palm anymore, it's only a matter of time before she gets soaked." β
As he spoke, he endured the pain, grinned and sat up, surveying the surroundings of his cell.
The cell door is an iron barred made of steel bars the thickness of a child's arm. The space between the steel bars is very small, and it is difficult to stretch out an arm. Under careful observation, Li Qingcai found that each steel bar was carved with mysterious patterns. I think it's a magic rune that makes up a magic circle.
The cells are low, with ceilings only two metres high, giving a suffocating sense of oppression. The ceiling was also carved with runes, and it was apparently set up some kind of magic circle to prevent escape. The other three walls also have magic runes.
Li Qing took a closer look and found that the magic runes on the ceiling and three walls were different from the magic runes on the prison door, and they should not be the kind of magic arrays that could launch electric shocks. However, Li Qing had tasted the lesson, and until now his body was still aching, but he didn't dare to try the magic array on the ceiling and the three walls.
There were no magic runes on the ground, and Li Qing planned to try to see if he could make a hole in the ground after recovering for a while.
This cell is about 10 square meters in size, which is quite spacious as a cell. In addition to Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng, there were five elves inside, who were looking at Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng curiously at this time, and two of the elves still had tears on their long eyelashes.
Li Qing stood up, rubbed off the scorched skin on his body, smiled at the five elves, and said in the common language of Calondo, "Hello everyone, my name is Bruce. Li, this is my companion Chu. It's a pleasure to meet you guys. β
A picturesque elf pursed her lips and said in a voice as gentle and crisp as a nightingale's singing: "What is there to be happy about seeing us here?" β
Although the elves are all beautiful and it is difficult to distinguish male and female from their appearance, this elf is especially beautiful, and her breasts are bulging, so Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng will not misunderstand her gender.
"This place really isn't that wonderful. But in any case, it is a joy to meet beautiful elves. Li Qing said with a smile: "This beautiful elf lady, as well as all the elf friends, can you know your name?" β
"You may call me Herisis." The elven girl said her name and introduced the other four elves one by one: "They are Shana, Celine, Tyrell, and Ofaloth. β
The full names of the elves are very long, some even as many as hundreds of syllables, and it is difficult for humans to remember them clearly. Therefore, the elven girl named Herisis only said their abbreviation.
Judging by their names, only one of the five elves is named Ofalos male. And the male elf is also very beautiful, with delicate facial features, fair skin, and no particularly obvious Adam's apple in the throat. If it weren't for the flat chest, it would really be mistaken for a beautiful girl.
After introducing each other, the two sides are considered to know each other. The elven tribe where Herisis belonged was originally close to humans, and now she has become fellow inmates with Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng, so after getting to know each other, the two sides quickly became acquainted, and after chatting for a few words, Li Qing began to inquire about what happened to them.
"Speaking of which, how did Herris, you get caught by the vampires? As far as I know, your tribe is very strong! β
Hearing Li Qing's question, the five elves suddenly became gloomy. Herisis sighed and said, "Although the population of our tribe is not large, its strength is indeed not weak. It's a pity, you know, that the plague has happened......"
With Herisis's narration, Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng gradually understood what happened to the elven tribe.
That elven tribe originally had an eighteenth-level great magician, a seventeenth-level great druid, a sixteenth-level moon god sacrifice, and a sixteenth-level magic archer. Among the rest of the hundreds of elves, there are also many strong ones. Therefore, although the population of the elven tribe is not large, it can indeed be regarded as a powerful force.
With the strength of the elven tribe, under normal circumstances, the vampires in this vampire castle, even if they bring all their minions and pour out, they can fight with the elven tribe at most.
But the outbreak of the plague of living corpses has devastated the elven tribe.
On the day of the outbreak of the plague, fully fifty percent of the elves were infected by the plague at the first time and turned into living corpses. Among them were the seventeenth-level Great Druid, and the two sixteenth-level powerhouses. Among the high-level powerhouses, only the eighteenth-level great magician was not infected.
If you are prepared for the plague and have some understanding, even if fifty percent of the elves are infected, with the strength of the elves, the remaining fifty percent of the elves are enough to eliminate the infected elves.
But the problem is that no one knows the details of the plague, and no one can imagine that the elves infected with the plague will become monsters like the living dead. No one expected that their companions would suddenly turn into monsters and attack the living elves frantically. Suddenly, among the remaining fifty percent of the elves, thirty percent of the elves were eaten or infected by living corpses.
It was only then that the remaining elves reacted and began to fight the living corpses.
The elves are individually powerful, and after being infected with the plague, they mutated a large number of living corpse warlocks. The three powerhouses above the sixteenth level have all turned into living corpse warlocks. Therefore, although the elven tribe has a small population and does not form a living corpse frenzy, the battle is still very fierce, and the living elves die in the fierce battle.
Although the eighteenth-level archmage was not infected, due to his lack of understanding of the plague, he was unfortunately injured by a sneak attack by a living corpse warlock. After that, although he single-handedly killed the three high-level powerhouses who had mutated into living corpse warlocks, he also helped the surviving elves destroy all the living corpses. But because he was injured at the beginning, his combat effectiveness was affected, causing him to suffer another fatal blow in the heat.
Not long after the battle ended, the eighteenth-level great magician died of serious injuries.
After a fierce battle, the entire elven tribe was left with only forty-seven survivors.
In order to prevent the spread of the plague, the survivors cremated all the corpses, whether they were living corpses or elves killed in battle, and buried the ashes deep in the ground - it was because of this that Li Qing and Chu Lingfeng did not see a single corpse in the elven tribe. Those old traces of battle are left behind by the elves fighting the living corpses.
After that, the surviving elves did not dare to stay in the tribe for fear of the plague returning, and left the tribe for Mulan City.
But when they arrived at Mulan City, they were shocked to find that the entire Mulan City had turned into a sea of living corpses. So they left Mulan City and went around to investigate, only to find that every town and every village had become a paradise for the living.
Only then did the elves realize that the plague had swept through the entire world, and there was no place that was safe.
In desperation, the elves had no choice but to return to the tribe.
The forty-seven surviving elves, who had finally overcome the initial despair and slowly cheered up, were about to clear the ruins and reorganize the tribe when they were approached by vampires looking for food reserves.
Among the forty-seven elves, the strongest was only a seventh-level druid. Aside from that druid, there was only one level 6 mage left in the caster. Under normal circumstances, these two spellcasters are relatively powerful, and with the cooperation of the warriors, they can exert strong lethality. At least it's no problem to kill Li Qing to the scum.
But the problem is that the vampires who attacked them, Aya and Koruman, can actually cast magic above level six, and the casting level is above level twelve! And that's not even counting their formidable hand-to-hand combat abilities and the dozen or so monster minions they lead.
With such a strong strength, forty-seven elves are certainly not opponents. After a not particularly fierce battle, the vampire side suffered no casualties, and the elf side was wiped out, and all of them were captured and taken prisoner.
After hearing about the tragic plight of the elves, Li Qing sighed sympathetically for a while, and then asked, "So, what are your plans next?" β
Herisis pursed her lips, raised her chin, and said with a haughty expression, "We are noble elves and will not compromise with filthy vampires no matter what. They want to use us as blood slaves, and that's absolutely impossible. Even if we die, we will not let their attempts succeed. β
"Oh? Are you planning to kill yourself? Chu Lingfeng suddenly asked.
"Of course!" "As long as the vampires intend to suck our blood, we will fight with our lives." β
"Well said! Worthy of a noble elf! Chu Lingfeng praised appreciatively, and said, "But when the vampire wants to suck your blood, you can't do it even if you want to commit suicide." Why don't you kill yourself now before the vampires attack you! β
She pointed to the door of the cell and said with a serious expression: "Facing that door, hit it headlong with the greatest strength, the impact and the power of the magic array, you can definitely die instantly and painlessly." There's nothing better than that! β
At the end, she also added a few words with sincerity on her face: "You don't need to thank me, I just admired your noble feelings of unyielding death, so I gave you a small idea." Don't miss the opportunity, the time will not come again, and you must die as soon as possible. β
The elves looked at each other.
"Ahem!" Herisis blinked her eyes twice, coughed dryly, and said solemnly: "In the teachings of His Majesty the Great Moon God, you cannot commit suicide unless you have to. Suicide for no reason is an unforgivable sin, and after death, you will be judged in the kingdom of God under the Temple of the Moon God and fall into the abyss. Therefore, we decided to live strong until the last moment came......".
