714 The Only Hope

Rumble!

When the deafening sound came, the wild killing machine directly tore the body of the monster in front of it, and the huge body fell down with a bang, and the giant cocoon behind it had lost the ability to move, and fell to the ground along with the monster's corpse.

Only then did Lin Chen let out a long sigh of relief.

It was just a moment before he realized that his back was soaked in cold sweat.

He didn't expect that the giant cocoon behind this monster actually had such a terrifying power, and Lin Chen's face was already extremely pale.

And the moment the monster fell to the ground, the disgusting power that lingered in this dungeon had disappeared, but Lin Chen sat on the ground as if he had lost his strength, and the white tiger had recovered to the size of a palm, and his eyes were full of exhaustion.

Lin Chen turned his head and his gaze fell on the white tiger's body, and he reluctantly reached out and rubbed the white tiger's head and said, "It's good to have you just now, otherwise the two of us would have to explain in this dungeon." ”

Even though he had lost his strength, the white tiger still raised his head and glanced at Lin Chen with disdain, and that gesture and expression seemed to be saying to Lin Chen: You only know now, why did you go earlier.

Seeing this, Lin Chen's face was full of black lines, and it took a while to regain his strength, and at this time, Shi Yan and the others had also woken up from their slumber, but when they saw the situation in this cell, their expressions changed, and their eyes were clearly full of shock.

"What the hell is going on, what the hell just happened!"

Shi Yan obviously knew something, and this had already proved Lin Chen's guess.

He didn't hide it, and told Shi Yan what had just happened.

After hearing this, Shi Yan's expression was extremely complicated.

"I didn't expect you to be so bold."

Even if Qin Yan didn't witness the change just now, Shi Yan was still extremely shocked at this moment, and he glanced Lin Chen up and down before saying, "So, you didn't plan to do what I said from the beginning?" ”

Lin Chen shrugged his shoulders and smiled, and then said, "Since we want to live, we still have to do something, otherwise what awaits you and me is only one death, isn't it?" ”

Hearing this, Shi Yan's expression became more complicated, and he sighed for a long time before saying, "Lin Chen, you are really shocking." ”

"So, what the hell is this?"

His gaze fell on Shi Yan in front of him, and Lin Chen's eyes already flashed with doubt.

Shi Yan's expression became more complicated, and it took a long time for him to slowly spit out three words.

"Pilgrim."

"Pilgrim?"

Lin Chen's face was full of surprise, he still didn't know anything about this kind of thing.

What the hell is this pilgrim and why is it here?

As if seeing Lin Chen's doubts, Shi Yan spoke, "The pilgrimage is more like the guards of this prison, something summoned by Shangguan Mingdao in an extremely special method. ”

"These things aren't that scary in themselves, what's really scary about them is the cocoons behind them."

"The white cocoon is sealed with a mysterious power from an unknown place, and no one knows where these things come from or what kind of creatures they are, but all legends indicate that wherever pilgrims appear, they will never be safe."

"Not only that, but there will even be extremely terrifying disasters."

"This is the scariest part of the pilgrimage."

Hearing this, Lin Chen's face became solemn.

Now it seems that their worst enemies are these pilgrims in order to escape this mortal situation, but what the hell is this?

His gaze refixed on Shi Yan's body in front of him, and Lin Chen's expression was solemn, waiting for Shi Yan's explanation.

"This kind of thing has always been a very mysterious existence in the land of Yingzhou, a widely spread and the most acceptable saying is that they are ghosts from ancient times, originally the supreme imperial courtiers, but because of the demise of the dynasty, and also went to the abyss, their bodies have already died, and the souls have nowhere to sustenance, in the ups and downs of ten thousand years by various evil forces into the master, and finally become such a person and ghost, still continuing to live things."

"Walking between heaven and earth with huge cocoons on their backs, they are there to fulfill their mission."

"Every pilgrim has its own mission to be fulfilled, and for the pilgrims who appear here, it is their mission to guard the prison and check the imprints of the prisoners."

Hearing this, Lin Chen's brows were already furrowed.

I didn't expect these monsters to have such a past.

But it doesn't matter anymore, the top priority now is to escape from this hellish place.

The pilgrims should not show up for the time being, and the cell doors have been opened, making it the best time to escape.

"Let's talk about getting out of here."

Lin Chen's words made everyone reflect one after another, time was pressing, and it was too late to think about it.

"Brother Lin is right, escaping this ghost place as soon as possible is the most important thing at the moment!"

Shi Yan opened his mouth and looked at the open cell door in front of him, his eyes were already full of excitement.

During the time they were in captivity, they thought about escaping every moment, and now that the opportunity was in front of them, they were even more unlikely to give it up.

Leave.

Be sure to leave this place.

"Follow me."

Lin Chen picked up the rusty long sword again, and there was a solemn look in his eyes, he knew in his heart that although he had solved the pilgrimager, it did not mean that they had completely torn apart the defense force here.

At least for now, their situation has not really settled down.

However, it was too late to say anything, and after determining the next action, Lin Chen took the lead in charging in the direction of the exit of this prison, and everyone hurriedly followed when they saw this.

The speed of the people is very fast, and in a short time they have come to the end of this prison, and in front of them is the door that symbolizes freedom, as long as this door is opened, then what awaits them will be hard-won freedom.

"Whew."

After taking a deep breath, Lin Chen's face became solemn, but just as he stepped forward and was about to stretch out his hand to push the door open, an old voice suddenly came.

"It's useless."

The sudden sound instantly attracted everyone's attention, and the gaze had been fixed in the direction where the voice came from, and the person who spoke was the drunken old man Xu.

Seeing these prisoners who should have stayed in the cell appearing here, Old Man Xu was not at all surprised, as if he had already guessed that such a situation would happen, and after his eyes flowed around the bodies of everyone in the field, he slowly said, "You can't leave here." ”

"This place is called the death row of Qiutan City, not only because of the danger here, but also because the prison itself is a huge magic circle."

"As long as there are living people here, this circle will continue to operate, constantly absorbing the vitality from your body, and it will not stop running."

"The door of this cell is closely linked to your lives, and attacking this cell is equivalent to fighting all the prisoners here."

"And when the cell door is destroyed, you will also die."

When these words fell, everyone's faces showed shocked expressions, and someone snorted coldly and said: "Don't believe this old man's words, he is from the side of the Silver Armor Army, and his words are not worth believing at all!" ”

As he spoke, the man was about to rush to the cell door and smash the last portal directly, after all, behind this was the freedom they had been waiting for.

After waiting for so long, isn't it just waiting for this day?

If they choose to give up at such a time, they will not be sorry for themselves at all.

But just as the man had just rushed to the front of the huge door in front of him, Lin Chen's voice suddenly sounded.

"Wait."

The sudden voice made the forward blade stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at Lin Chen in surprise and said, "What, there is a problem?" ”

"Or do you think this old thing is credible?"

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly spoke: "Perhaps, what he said is the truth." ”

"Think about it carefully, the people here basically know the secrets of Shangguan Mingdao, once the people here escape, it will cause very huge damage to Shangguan Mingdao."

"He can't afford to gamble."

"It stands to reason that there must be a lot of guards to ensure the safety of such an important place, but since we entered this prison, we have not seen any decent guards except for those pilgrims, and there is only one possibility for this to happen."

Lin Chen's eyes were solemn, and he subconsciously lowered his voice and slowly spoke: "This cell itself is an insoluble existence. ”

When these words fell, the faces of everyone present were already extremely difficult to see.

They didn't expect this to happen.

Thinking about it carefully, what Lin Chen said is probably true.

Lin Chen's gaze fell on Old Man Xu's body, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly spoke, "So, we really can't leave this place?" ”

Old man Xu obviously hadn't sobered up yet, but he was very conscious.

From the previous conversation between this man and the Silver Armor Army, it can be judged that this person seems to be very dissatisfied with Shangguan City Lord, and he himself has gradually lost hope in decades of alternative captivity, which is why he has such a state.

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Old Man Xu glanced up at Lin Chen, and then said with a wry smile: "It's not that there is no chance to escape. ”

"Every full moon night, the door of this cell will be opened, but again, the outside will be full of guards, and although there will be no pilgrims patrolling at that time, I can tell you clearly that the prison on the night of the full moon is the most terrifying time."
