In the secret chamber of the Empty Mountain.

The whole seven days of torture had made Lin Chen's state extremely poor, but the mysterious power in his body protected his life, making him in a state of being unable to die, and the pain of being stripped of his strength lingered in his body, and now Lin Chen is probably inferior even compared to an ordinary person.

His breathing was weak, his heart was beating weakly, his skin was wrinkled, and he looked more like dead tree bark, lifeless.

The tongue of fire below was still licking the wounds on his body, but the fire was already much weaker, and when the last trace of strength in his body was squeezed out, this formation should probably stop.

Squeak.

The door of the secret room was slowly pushed open, and Ye Qingyang, the master of the Empty Mountain who had been waiting for seven days, walked in, and his eyes were already fixed on Lin Chen's body.

At this moment, Lin Chen's eyes were blank, if it weren't for his weak breathing, I'm afraid even Ye Qingyang wouldn't be able to be sure that Lin Chen was still alive.

"I can't imagine that your vitality is still very tenacious."

"In a quarter of an hour at most, it will be over."

"At that time, all the power in your body will be smelted into this medicine furnace."

"Lin Chen, you can rest assured, I will never kill you."

"I, Ye Qingyang, have always done what I said! Hahaha. ”

Ye Qingyang was laughing wildly, but at this moment, Lin Chen no longer even had the strength to refute Ye Qingyang, and now he was really at the end of his crossbow.

If it weren't for the only remaining strength in his body hanging his last breath, I'm afraid he would have stopped breathing.

But even if there is such a force, Lin Chen will die at any time.

The reason why he was able to take this last breath has a lot to do with his persistence.

Everything today, he has secretly written down in his heart, if there is a chance, he will never let Ye Qingyang go.

A strong murderous intent flashed in his already dull eyes, which could be regarded as an answer to Ye Qingyang's words.

Seeing this scene, the smile on Ye Qingyang's face became even richer, and he glanced at Lin Chen lightly before saying, "I can't imagine that even now you are still thinking about killing me, Lin Chen, you really surprised me." ”

"But do you really have that ability now?"

"At this time, an ordinary person can easily kill you, and a realm martial artist is already high above you, not to mention, I am about to step into the immortal path."

"Moreover, you have been stripped of all the strength in your body, your bones are useless, even if you can take care of your body, it is impossible for you to step into the martial arts again."

"Lin Chen, you're already dead."

These words exploded in Lin Chen's mind like thunder, even though his state was already extremely bad at this moment, the killing intent towards Ye Qingyang in his heart still did not weaken in the slightest.

Airplanes.

And at this moment, the medicine furnace below suddenly began to tremble slightly, and Ye Qingyang's eyes suddenly revealed a rich joy.

"It's done!"

"I'm about to make this potion of medicine."

"Lin Chen, you have lost your role!"

With a wave of his hand violently, the pipa hook that penetrated Lin Chen's body suddenly broke, and Lin Chen, who had lost his support, was directly blown away by a strong wind.

Thump!

Falling to the ground heavily, the tattered body withstood such a heavy blow, causing Lin Chen to faint directly.

……

When Lin Chen woke up again, he found that he was already in this empty mountain dungeon.

Looking around, you can see a scene of decay and decay, the smell of blood and dirt in the air, and the corners of this dungeon are piled with dry bones.

They were still wearing shabby clothes, all of them were skinny and bone-like, and they still maintained an extremely painful appearance before they died.

Clearly, they had endured a long ordeal.

If he can't escape from this place, this will be his fate.

The strength recovered slightly, Lin Chen gritted his teeth, and wanted to stand up strongly, but the strength in his body was not enough to support his movements, and as soon as he supported his body, his hands rushed to extremely painful pain, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Thump.

The dust was flying, the violent movements involved the wounds on his body, and even more intense pain came, and Lin Chen let out a muffled snort.

The voice was hoarse and harsh, like the rubbing of a broken gong.

From the puddle in front of him, he could see what he looked like.

His skin was yellow and wrinkled, like a ghost crawling out of a grave, and even he couldn't recognize himself.

The blood flowed and the seven-day torture had turned him into a completely different appearance, and I am afraid that even if he recuperated, he would face a drastic change in appearance.

But it doesn't matter.

He must escape from this place, with a mission and a promise to Jiang Yanran, he must not die here.

He needs to recover from his injuries, at the very least, to return to the state of ordinary people first.

Although Ye Qingyang had already said that the meridians in his body were now broken, his roots and bones were gone, and it was impossible for him to step into the martial arts path for the rest of his life.

But before coming to the land of Yingzhou, Zhu Changge also told him that everything is possible in the land of Yingzhou.

He didn't believe he was wasted.

His throat was unusually dry, and he struggled to crawl over the water stains that had accumulated in front of him.

Although Ye Qingyang didn't want his life, he obviously didn't intend to let him live.

Thrown into this dungeon, no one brought any food or water, but he had to live, and in order to survive, he had to endure humiliation.

Unable to care about anything else, Lin Chen swallowed all the water in the puddle and the blood that had been left behind at some point, and the burning pain in his throat was slightly reduced.

After recovering his strength a little, he continued to struggle forward, every action was extremely difficult, but Lin Chen did not give up in the slightest.

Because it was clear that Lin Chen was no longer as good as an ordinary person at this moment, there was no prohibition in this dungeon at all, not even a guard.

It was as if he were the only living person in the entire dungeon, and in such a dark place, even if no one would do anything to him, he would die here.

So, he had to leave anyway.

Get food, regain strength.

If you can't beat others, you can escape here by stealth by relying on the abilities you have accumulated in the original world.

Even if he has been completely abolished, and his combat effectiveness is even worse than that of ordinary people, he must not give up.

While thinking about it, Lin Chen had already come to the door of the cell and grabbed the iron railing in front of him, Lin Chen tried hard to prop up his body but couldn't stand firm at all.

At this moment, not only has the strength in his body been withdrawn, but the tendons of his hands and feet have also been broken, completely relying on the transformation of his body when he was baptized by the heavenly thunder before, so that his body has super resilience, and now he can barely stand up.

But Lin Chen knew that as long as his grip on the iron railing was released, he would inevitably fall to the ground.

But it didn't matter, even if it was to climb, he had to climb out of this place.

The door lock was already rusty, and the keyhole had also been eroded by rust, Lin Chen pulled it hard a few times and found that the iron cable eroded by the rust had a tendency to break.

With joy in his heart, Lin Chen stopped breathing rapidly several times before regaining his strength slightly, and when he was about to continue his actions, the old man's voice came from behind.

"Don't work in vain, with your current body, climbing to the door of the cell is already the limit, let alone trying to escape from the empty mountain."

"This mountain is full of poisonous insects and beasts, and leaving the abode of those bandits is the beginning of an even greater danger for you."

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from, and found that there was actually a person in the corner of the cell.

The condition looked even worse than his, and he was completely thin and only skeleton-like, with wide, dirty, shabby robes covering his hands and feet, revealing only a face full of old folds.

"Who are you?"

Even if he said these three words, it cost Lin Chen a lot of strength, and there was a hint of doubt in his already dull eyes.

"Does it matter who I am?"

"I might as well tell you, this is the lowest level of the dungeon of Empty Mountain, you look at those dry bones, they were all strong people in their lifetimes, but in the end they were all drained of their strength and thrown in this place, no one will kill them, they will die here, because they can't live on their own anymore."

"I've been here for a long time, and I've seen too many people thrown in, and at first they all thought of escaping this place like you, but in the end, they all had to give up."

"Because they know that with their own strength, it is impossible to escape from this place."

"Or rather, even if they can escape from this place, there is only a dead end waiting for them in the end."

"Get out of here, they'll die faster."

"If you stay, you can live longer."

"Don't worry, the people of Empty Mountain won't let us starve to death, it's just morning now, and in the evening, they will send water and food here."

"With these things, at least it can last for a while."

"Only by being alive can you be qualified to talk about other things."

"If you survive, you have a chance."

After speaking, the old man closed his mouth and remained silent, and after a little thought, Lin Chen gave up the struggle for the time being.

The old man is right, with his current body, it is simply unrealistic to escape from this place, at least, he must first return to the state of an ordinary person, he does not lack time and patience, what he lacks is just opportunity.

Releasing the hand holding the iron railing, letting his body come into contact with the ground, Lin Chen closed his eyes.
