Chapter 404: Demon Attack
The soldiers who escorted Luo Cheng and them finally left after three months, and from this month onwards, guards appeared outside the door of the dormitory where Luo Cheng and them lived. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Luo Cheng also asked Li Mi, and Li Mi said very righteously, because they were excellent disciples sent by Empress Wu to try, and they were the pillars of the cultivation realm, so they couldn't make a mistake, and they were sent to protect their safety.
It's about keeping them safe, but it's not an exaggeration to say it's surveillance.
Luo Cheng knew that there must be some ulterior secrets in the underground prison that he didn't want people to know, otherwise he wouldn't have sent someone to spy on him, but he didn't care, anyway, after the end of this month, they could go back to Wan'an City, and there was no need to argue with Li Mi at this time.
On the night of the third moon, Luo Cheng was arranged to the eighteenth floor underground.
This level has a special meaning for Luo Cheng, where he found the exchange compass, and together with the Soul Dementor Sword, he formed the Soul Snatcher Exchange Mansion, guided his later cultivation, and also saved his life at a critical time.
He killed the soul demon here, and summoned Kusla, fought with the demon king's servants in the crisis, and finally saved the patriarch of the Sita clan at a critical time, and it was his later master Wu Qiming who was able to enter the Sita clan, and later became brothers and sisters with Zhang Fatzi, Xiaoliu, Qingqing, and Xu Chuan.
It can be said that this eighteenth underground floor is the turning point and beginning of his life, and it has a special meaning for him.
He checked the situation inside through the observation port, and found that the place where the soul demon had been bound was empty, and the other places were empty.
Could it be an empty cell?
Luo Cheng was a little puzzled, but this was obviously not something he had to worry about, he just had to go back after standing for the last few days.
Luo was dressed in the armor of an underground prison as usual, holding a long-handled knife and standing straight at the entrance of the eighteenth basement cell, and the time passed minute by minute.
Suddenly, he felt a slight jolt and moved quickly from the land above his head.
He closed his eyes and radiated his thoughts. Divine thoughts ignored all obstacles and radiated out directly, and all the movements on the surface were present in Luo Cheng's mind.
The night was dark and the wind was high, and countless black shadows were running rapidly on the withered grass, although most of these black shadows were humanoid, but they were of different heights, thick and thin, and some even looked strange, and varied.
Among them was the size of a black shadow, which Luo Cheng was all too familiar with, because he had personally fought and killed it, and he was very sure that it was a soul demon.
The demons want to sneak up on the underground prison?
Just as Luo Cheng was about to report to Li Mi, a scream came from the ground to Luo Cheng's ears, like a night ghost, and it was so clear from the ground to the eighteenth floor underground that it was enough to prove how loud this scream was.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud sound of fighting and roaring footsteps, Luo Cheng wanted to go up to the battle, but his current duty was to guard the eighteenth layer of the prison, and he was not allowed to move around without permission in terms of discipline, unless the prison director made a move.
However, his master Wang Yihan is still on the ninth floor, and that floor is the accommodation area for all the soldiers, and he feels that there are a lot of people sent out by the demons this time, and the manpower of the underground prison is a little precarious, his master has lost his Yuan Force, and it is no different from ordinary people, and it will be very dangerous to encounter this situation.
After a while, the sound of fighting above was getting closer and closer, and Luo Cheng knew that the demon had broken through the defense line of the ground and infiltrated downward, and he didn't have time to think about it, the most important thing was to protect his own people.
Thinking of this, Luo Cheng did not hesitate to rush directly upward.
When Luo Cheng arrived at the ninth layer, there were already demons attacking. Fortunately, there are more soldiers on this floor, and under the desperate resistance of the entrance to this floor, the demons can't attack for a while.
Luo Cheng entered his dormitory and found that Zhong Shishu and Wang Yihan were there, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"What's going on out there now?" Wang Yihan asked.
"The demons have already attacked this layer, and the upper layers will definitely be lost, and the demons imprisoned in those layers will become new combat power, so I don't think this layer will be able to resist for long!"
"Ah, that exit must be blocked, and I don't know if there are other entrances and exits on this floor!"
"It would be nice if Xu Chuan was here!" Luo Cheng remembered the guy who could make holes, this time was where he came in, but unfortunately he wasn't there.
Just as the three of them were thinking about how to get out of here, Li Mi suddenly broke in.
"Come with me!"
"Warden, isn't the exit blocked, are there other exits?" Zhong Shishu asked happily.
"Yes, this situation was considered when the underground prison was built thousands of years ago, so there is a secret passage on the ninth floor that leads to the outside!." Li Mi said as he led Luo Cheng and the other three to walk out: "This secret passage is only known to the prison warden!" ”
"Then why do you ...... What about leading us away without telling the other soldiers? Luo Cheng asked.
"First of all, you are the pillar of the young generation sent by Wan'an City to test me, and one of my duties is to ensure your safety. Secondly, as the duty of the Demon Prison Army, it is to guard the underground prison, and if you can't keep it, you must live and die with it, and this secret passage is used for the final transmission of military information! Li Mi said: "I hope that after you escape, you can bring the news of the siege of the demons here to Wan'an City, so that we may still be rescued!" ”
Talking, talking, Li Mi led Luo Cheng to a dormitory in the middle of the ninth floor, where the prison warden lived, the place was not big, and there was a bed against the wall in front.
Li Mi moved the bed to the side, waved the battle axe in his hand, and with a "boom" sound, he directly split a hole in the wall. He pulled it a few times with his axe, and the hole was widened to a hole that could be drilled by one person.
He pointed to this cave and said, "This cave is connected to the endless forest thousands of meters away from the underground prison, and you can return to Wan'an City after walking southeast for more than ten days!" ”
"What about you?" Luo Cheng asked.
"As the warden of the No. 6 underground prison, I naturally want to live and die with it, you go quickly, if you don't leave, it's too late!" After Li Mi finished speaking, he closed the door and rushed into the corridor, and there were countless voices of angry shouts and weapons intersecting outside the door.
Luo Cheng knew that danger was coming, so he hurriedly abandoned the couch and picked up Wang Yihan and went into the hole, followed by Zhong Shishu.
Behind the entrance of the cave is a tunnel built to the width of one person, and Luo Cheng and Zhong Shishu crossed the thunder and lightning yuan force into their legs when walking, speeding up their walking speed. When they walked hundreds of meters, there was a shout from the demon behind them, and the two of them accelerated their running speed.
Thousands of meters or so, it took the two of them less than a quarter of an hour to walk out.
The hole was hidden beneath the roots of a large tree, covered with a layer of grassy dirt that would not have been possible without a deliberate search.
There were chasing soldiers behind them, Luo Cheng and Zhong Shishu didn't dare to rest more, and the two took turns to carry Wang Yihan and speed towards Wan'an City. When resting on the road, Luo Cheng made a stretcher out of two strips of bamboo and torn cloth from his clothes, and asked Wang Yihan to lie down and carry him.
It was supposed to take more than ten days to travel, but it only took eight days for the two to arrive at Wan'an City.
