210. Between life and death
"I've heard you talk about work several times, what exactly does this prison do?" Edward asked, confused.
"You're new here, you don't know normal, we here, women are mainly responsible for digging pits, and men are responsible for moving some pillars and square filling."
"Dig a pit? Moving things? What's the use of doing this? ”
Seeing Edward's puzzled face, Lao Wu waved his hand and said softly.
"Listen to me slowly, I think these are all for the upcoming magma eruption!"
"Because the island is high in the middle and low on both sides, wherever there is a magma eruption, it will flow from high to low into the sea, forming a hard solid, which is exactly the opposite of their goal."
"If they want the virus to get out, then they need this magma to turn into gas, or the ash that can float out, and then these craters will come in handy!"
"When the magma flows down the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, it flows into a large pit dug in advance, and then through some gasification or other devices, it can be dissipated."
"Wait a minute, what's the use of those pillars and square fillings you just mentioned?" Edward asked a question.
"Don't you worry? I was about to say that. ”
Lao Wu swallowed his saliva, seemed to be interested, pulled the hair in front of him to the back and tied it up.
"Those pillars, I guess are used for blasting, fixed-point, and those square fillers are used to resist magma, in order to prevent the magma from flowing to other places, it must be blocked in some special places as early as possible to prevent accidental injury."
Edward nodded, agreeing with Wu's words, but he quickly expressed his skepticism.
"But that's just your side of the story, we've just met, aren't you afraid I'll tell the guards all this? Or do you think I'm going to take your word for it? ”
"Alas! I just want the second person to know about it, as long as you believe me, even if you go and tell the guards, there will be no complaints. ”
Edward lay down to his side again, thinking to himself.
"Am I not stupid? If I did, they would have taken me out..."
"It seems that I will not sleep tonight, whether what he said is true or not, I would rather believe it than believe it, but with my ability, I can't do anything, if Brother Chen Xiao is here, I can discuss it with him."
As the night got late, Lao Wu finally closed his mouth, and the two finally fell asleep, no one knew what tomorrow would be?
......
The spiritual world.
The battle between Chen Xiao and the monster continued, Chen Xiao's physical strength was almost exhausted, it was unimaginable, the two of them were clearly the same ability, but Chen Xiao was slightly lost.
Even he himself couldn't figure it out, and he didn't see the monster's attack for a while, and was knocked out with a claw.
This claw was so powerful that it directly knocked Chen Xiao into the black shadow, not knowing where it hit.
Chen Xiao hurriedly stood up, coughed lightly, and dispersed the armor outside his body, saving a little strength for the time being, but he kept thinking in his head.
"If it goes on any longer, the one who loses must be me, what can I do?"
But after thinking about it, Chen Xiao still didn't think of any thoughtful way, this is not a breakthrough in his own bridge, these two people are clearly not of the same level, how can this fight?
"Could it be that the only way to defeat him is to break through yourself? But how to make a breakthrough at this time? ”
At this moment, the monster's cry was heard not far away.
"Chen Xiao! Where did you hide? Don't be a turtle with a shrunken head, where did you go when you defeated me? ”
This sentence reminded Chen Xiao and made him pause.
"That's right! I can use that trick again! I almost forgot! ”
Chen Xiao patted his head violently, because of the fusion of his corpse king bloodline, his recovery ability had been greatly improved, so he didn't need to use that devouring ability to absorb energy from other creatures, so he forgot about this ability for a while.
He hurriedly adjusted his physical state, looked at the position where the monster made the sound just now, and when he saw the monster appear, he rushed over, grabbed the monster's claws, and shouted loudly.
"Suffer death! Devouring ability! ”
But things didn't go as smoothly as he thought, not even at all.
His devouring ability did not appear at all, and he did not react at all, which made Chen Xiao confused.
The monster answered his question, the corners of his mouth gradually raised, and he said softly.
"Devouring ability? Have you forgotten my name? I'm the Devourer! This ability is exclusive to me, and it doesn't work for me! ”
The monster flew up violently and kicked Chen Xiao out again.
This time, Chen Xiao didn't hold back the pain in his chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"I see, it seems that I thought it was too simple..."
He thought it was a coincidence, but he didn't expect it to be the case, so in this way, the invincible sheriff probably has some problems.
If he is not a member of the Crow Organization, then he must also have the ability to copy other people's abilities, otherwise it would not explain the problem that he has the ability to devour.
Chen Xiao struggled to stand up, since he hadn't fully summoned the armor just now, he was not lightly injured, and if he was attacked again, he might have to say goodbye to this world forever.
"Am I going to die here? I haven't rescued my daughter yet, and my friends, how can I die in such a place! ”
Although he had infinite regret in his heart, the powerful strength gap still made him fearful, he couldn't think of any way to defeat him, and he couldn't escape from here, it seemed like a dead end.
At this time when death is approaching, people's brains are the most sober, and Chen Xiao is the same, among many thoughts, he thought of one.
"Isn't that right? This is my spiritual world, although I am trapped here, but if I can turn against the customer, maybe I can turn the tide! ”
"But what can I do to regain the lead?"
The human brain is very complex, and there are many parts of the small brain that are responsible for it, and only a handful of people are responsible for the spiritual level.
When Chen Xiao was in school, he studied books on the spiritual level, and scholars did not find it very thorough in the study of the deep spiritual world, but there was one item that Chen Xiao remembered very deeply and was also very recognized by most scholars.
That's the way to forcibly leave the deep spiritual world, suicide!
This is the only way to wake up from a deep sleep, but there is also a certain risk, if it is not done properly, or a little bit of bad luck, it is possible that you will never wake up, and there may be sequelae after waking up, ranging from amnesia to dementia.
"It seems that there is no other way than to risk death, and there is no other way at present!"
Chen Xiao summoned the short knife on his arm, he hadn't tried suicide, but he knew that it would definitely hurt, but in order to escape from here, and in order to see his daughter alive, he was willing to take a risk.
As the blade gradually pierced into his body, a wisp of blood flowed out of Chen Xiao's abdomen, and Chen Xiao could feel that his physical strength was rapidly draining, and his mind was gradually being lost.
His eyes slowly darkened, and as he was about to close, he saw that the monster was rushing towards him, as if trying to stop him from doing so.
Chen Xiao shuddered and laughed, which showed that his approach was correct, and this method could really escape from here.
"Goodbye... Hopefully we won't see each other again..."
......
"Ahh
Chen Xiaomeng sat up, touched his body around, and after confirming that he was fine, he finally sighed and said to himself.
"Whew! Fortunately, it worked, and it really allowed me to escape! ”
Although he escaped by chance, he did not forget what the monster said, that is the origin of all this, but he did not follow who is behind all this, which makes him a little regretful, but he is already very satisfied with this information.
"It's fun, but where is this? And why don't I have clothes on my body?! ”
