Chapter 22: Black Prison City
The vast majority of hell is the territory of monsters and the sphere of influence of the masters of all sides of hell, and only a very small number of areas will have activities in the human realm. As far as Su You knew, in addition to the prison, the small city in front of him, which didn't seem to be outstanding at first glance, belonged to this very small range.
Black Prison City, that's the name of this small city.
Strangely, the walls of the city were only two meters high, and most of them were badly damaged, which made Su You wonder, how could such a town without the slightest defense survive in this strange and terrifying hell? Anyway, the prison is still hidden in the void, so there is a certain amount of security. Isn't your defense a clear way for monsters to exploit?
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Su You walked over quickly.
Two tall guards at the gate of the city blocked Su You's way, and two pairs of terrifying eyes under the heavy armor looked at Su You tightly.
Under the detection of the fragments of the Sansheng Stone, the information of the two guardians appeared in Su You's mind.
"Black Stone, Black Earth: Grade??? Ability??? Attribute??? Position: Guardian of the Gates of the Black Prison City. Other information??? ”
It was two guys who couldn't detect the information, Su You didn't dare to make a mistake, and in the face of the compelling eyes and inquiries of the two guards, he directly took out the proof that Jiang Long gave him.
The guardian exchanger took a look, and then one of them = one = Ben ~ read = novel = ybdu returned to his original position and continued to stand guard, and the other guard named Heishi beckoned Su You to follow him.
The city is not big, there are not many other buildings in the city except for the continuous houses, and the streets are deserted and unseen, and it looks gloomy. If it weren't for the sturdy figure of Black Stone leading the way in front of Su You to give Su You a sense of security, Su You might have completely regarded this place as a ghost town.
After walking along the dilapidated street for about two hundred meters, Su You's vision became wider. It is no longer a series of houses, but a huge martial arts arena. The martial arts arena built with bluestone floors gives people the illusion of being heavy and solemn. Although there was no one on the martial arts arena at the moment, Su You seemed to see countless soldiers practicing and fighting here.
Heishi didn't stop and led Su You into a house near the martial arts arena.
Su You detected nearby information when he entered Black Prison City. There is not much information in the displayed data, only dozens of points of light scattered around. Leaving aside vegetation and monsters, there are only 12 red points of light. Five of them are still owners of shabby shops on the street.
Counting that there are only 7 people guarding such a city at this moment? This is the garrison of the expeditionary force in Jianglong's mouth? With just seven people and the badly damaged city wall, aren't you worried about monsters?
Soon, the mystery that Su You had been wondering about was completely solved.
Heishi took Su You to the door of a room and left, and Su You took the initiative to knock on the door and walked in.
The facilities in the room were drab and simple, almost entirely made of stone, and in front of a stone desk sat a figure with a straight waist. The sturdy body with a serious face gave Su You a strong sense of immediacy.
"Sit."
A rough and cold voice came out of the mouth of the other side, Su You did not refuse, and sat down directly on the other side, and at the same time carefully handed over the letter that Jiang Long had explained.
Su You is rare and serious, and his sitting posture is also standard and meticulous. This change in attitude was not only due to the other party's serious face and dull atmosphere, but also because of the information from the previous detection of the Sansheng Stone Fragment.
"Black Prison: Level??? Ability??? Attribute??? Position: Lord of Black Prison City and General of the Expeditionary Force. Hazard Class: ??? ”
For the first time, the Sansheng Stone Fragment indicated the danger level, although it was still unknown, but this first change made Su You have to be cautious. There is no rule that NPCs cannot contradict players. If you make the other party unhappy, you will directly kill yourself in seconds when the time comes, then who will you find to complain. The prison guard Jiang Long is at least a knife-mouthed tofu heart, but the general in front of him who named the city after him feels cold-blooded at first glance.
A letter was quickly read by the black jailer, and the whole process was very fast, and the other party read the letter without any facial expression. But Su You really felt that the coldness in the air around him suddenly became thicker.
"This letter is very timely, and Jiang Long did a good job this time." The Black Prison said coldly.
Su You didn't know how to answer, and said in silence.
The Black Prison ignored Su You and stood up straight from his seat. Just at this moment, a soldier walked in from outside the door, gave a military salute to the black prison and waited for instructions.
"Gather the Independent Legion, put down everything at hand, arrive at Prison No. 1926 within 2 hours, and follow Jiang Long's instructions for all actions."
The soldier quickly left. The Black Prison returned to his seat, his eyes fixed on Su You.
When Su You was figuring out the information contained in those words, countless red points of light suddenly appeared in his mind.
Just outside the stone house, a powerful aura erupted without warning, and the points of light that flashed with dazzling red light occupied the entire mind.
Su You didn't know what was going on outside the stone house, but at this moment, he finally understood why such a black prison city with no high walls and no more defenders would stubbornly exist in this dangerous hell. This powerful army that appeared without warning may still not be able to completely confront the countless monsters in the huge hell, but it is still no problem to deter the nearby and crush the monsters in the surrounding area. What's more, the powerful aura exuded by the general in front of him didn't exist at the same level at all compared to those soldiers outside. The red and purple dots of light are the best proof of this.
"You want to go back to the human realm?"
The voice of the Black Prison rang out again.
"Hmm."
"Come with me."
The city lord was silent, and after confirming Su You's answer, he got up and left directly, and Su You followed behind.
The troops that appeared on the battlefield had quickly disappeared from Su You's detection range, and it seemed that they had set off for Prison No. 1926.
Su You was very curious about what was going on there, but this was not something he could ask, following the city lord and returning to the human world to improve his strength was the most important thing for him at the moment. This terrible hell has no use for itself.
He walked a long distance behind the city lord. The two of them paused in a building.
It's a simple teleportation array, and in the Three Realms promotional materials, it's the most widely used item in the game. In order to quickly get from one area to another, it may take a lot of effort for the player to run forward or use a mount on their own.
There were four guards guarding in front of the teleportation array, and the information detected was unknown, but Su You obviously felt that these four guards must be much stronger than other ordinary soldiers, after all, this was the passage to the human world.
It takes a lot of energy to open the teleportation array, especially the energy required for teleportation between the two realms is not at all measurable by teleportation between cities.
But Black Prison didn't care at all, and after ordering his subordinates to place a few spars in front of the teleportation array, he waved his right hand into a palm knife and slashed directly at the teleportation array.
Su You was stunned, but then his mouth opened wide in shock.
The wielded knife qi was as magical as in the movie, directly acting on the huge dark red vortex in the middle of the teleportation array, and after the huge vortex tumbled and stirred, it began to tear up, revealing a pitch-black channel.
"Step on it, and you can return to the human realm."
The Black Prison said coldly.
Su You was still in shock, the legendary tearing void, this is a powerful ability that players can only learn after level 60. And the black prison in front of him not only tore the void, but also tore the passage between the two realms, although it had the auxiliary effect of the teleportation array and the spar, but this strength was enough to make Su You speechless in shock. In the future, he may also have such power, and when he thinks about it, he feels that the mighty Su You is completely excited.
"Step on it, and you can return to the human realm."
As if seeing through Su You's shocked thoughts, the voice of the Black Prison reminded again.
Su You recovered from the shock, but he didn't immediately step on it, and hesitated.
The energy consumed by the passage supporting the Void of the Two Realms was incomparably huge, and even a powerhouse like Black Prison could not support it for too long.
Seeing that the crack in the passage was slowly closing, and Su You had no intention of stepping into it at all, the expression of the black prison finally changed at this moment, and he only frowned slightly. It made Su You feel that something seemed to be wrong, but he hadn't gotten the benefits of completing the task yet, so it was not his character to leave like this.
stared at the black prison with blank eyes, hoping that the other party would understand his thoughts that he was embarrassed to say. The black prison just stared at Su You, and his slightly frowning brow eased.
"Your delivery of the letter this time is very timely, if it is delayed, I am afraid that the expeditionary force and even the 1926 prison will suffer great losses. Jiang Long asked me not to treat you badly, but unfortunately your strength is too poor, little guy, all I can do is try my best to fight for a place and identity for you. Step on the teleportation array and return to the human realm, and when your strength is enough, let's come to hell again. ”
Black Prison's words and cold eyes could not be refused, and Su You could only step aggrievedly into the teleportation array that was about to close.
The first mission came to such a tragic end, and the benefits were a necklace and a quota and identity that I didn't know what it was for, what is this called.
Su You wanted to cry without tears, but in the face of a dangerous and powerful powerhouse like the Black Prison, Su You didn't dare to have any provocation and room for bargaining.
When he suffered a big loss, Su You was unwilling to step into the teleportation array.
