Chapter 333: The Breeding Ground of Dragons
When Su Mu carefully bypassed the sight of the guards and successfully reached the roof of the humble house, through the faint light that penetrated the broken roof, Su Mu immediately determined that the people in the house had already entered the secret passage.
But at this moment, Su Mu is not in a hurry.
After all, the entourage of that person was all official knights above the middle character level, and although Su Mu was not afraid of ordinary knights, he didn't want to entangle with them more.
The night was silent, and the nightingale cried slightly.
The scarlet blood moon brilliance, in the layers of white mist that permeated the imperial capital, was still so pink and lovely.
But in the loveliness, there is still a deeper danger.
I don't know how long it took, but even the accompanying knights who were on guard began to be bored and no longer so vigilant, and even started talking in a low voice about the academy exchange meeting a few days ago.
With a soft creak, one of the closets in the Burrow suddenly opened.
Behind the dilapidated and simple closet turned out to be the cumbersome and sturdy alchemy door, and the dark corridor behind the gate.
The leader of the horse team who walked out of the closet subconsciously reprimanded the guards who were talking quietly on the side, and then turned around and closed the alchemy door with a dissatisfied face, and then walked out of the burrow and stepped onto his horse.
Seeing this, the guards who had been talking before no longer dared to be a little presumptuous, and hurriedly retracted their voices and left across their horses.
No one noticed that at the moment when the leader turned around and reprimanded his subordinates, a dark figure that was not easy to detect had already quietly entered the alchemy gate.
He had already walked down the dark corridor towards some unknown secret place.
......
As the alchemy gate behind him closed, the last ray of light in the corridor was lost.
Of course, Su Mu does not have the ability to see at night, but today's Su Mu does not dare to light up the light source at will.
Therefore, now Su Mu simply released the Qi energy in his body bit by bit, turned the Qi energy into tentacles, and cautiously walked towards the depths of the secret passage.
The secret passage that twisted and spiraled down was safer than Su Mu imagined.
There is neither a five-step guard nor a ten-step hidden weapon.
However, on this point, Su Mu himself thought too much.
Because the place that this secret passage leads to is originally a place where people will come to inspect it for a long time, and in the final analysis, it is also a certain location that the entire imperial capital knows.
It's not so eerie, it's not so mysterious.
As Su Mu was extra careful, he finally came to the end of the passage, and what appeared in front of Su Mu's eyes at this time was like a whole scarlet tumbling lava pool.
And in the space beside the lava, in the existence of a natural cave, a hideous sleeping dragon was locked with huge runes and steel cables.
And in some of the ground in the lava, there are countless egg-shaped objects that are exaggeratedly large.
There is no doubt that it is the so-called dragon egg.
And this place in front of him is also the hotbed of the giant dragon that Su Tong once mentioned.
The place where Qin Wuyi was trapped now was obviously some unknown corner of the dragon's hotbed.
At this time, as Su Mu instantly understood where he was, Su Mu's gaze quickly swept over the scarlet lava, looking for the true location of the target person.
But what made Su Mu feel slightly regretful was that as far as his eyes could see, he still didn't find Qin Wuxian's figure.
As for the coveted heavy sword Frost Destroyer, it was like abandoned garbage, and it was randomly leaned on a certain position on the side of the cave.
......
However, at this moment, since Su Mu confirmed that there were no other people in Zhou Jin, he was naturally no longer so cautious, and had already used the light provided by the lava to quickly enter the lava cave.
Although Su Mu couldn't be sure, Qin Invincible must be in this space.
But since the others didn't take the frost destruction away, then as a common sense consideration, they should only restrict Qin Wushu's freedom, and would not specifically transfer the frost destruction here.
Sure enough, when Su Mu really got close to the frost destruction, an extremely amazing scene was presented in front of Su Mu's eyes.
I saw that in the boiling lava, someone used an unknown refractory material to successfully cast a cage that was comparable to the size of a human body.
The cage itself is only exposed to the lava by the top one-fifth, and the rest is submerged in the lava.
Obviously, it is precisely for the sake of being held that the detainees will be scorched by lava at all times.
And the person who is now trapped in the cage is also the target of Su Mu here...... Qin is invincible!
Seeing this, Su Mu subconsciously wanted to smash the cage first and release Qin Wushu first.
The sharp flame blade candle shadow had already been stimulated from Su Mu's hand again.
However, just a moment before Su Mu made a move, after feeling the sharp sword qi that appeared out of thin air, Qin Wuving, who had originally devoted all his energy to wrapping his body with Qi energy to prevent it from being eroded, only then did he notice Su Mu's arrival.
However, now Qin is invincible, and he is not surprised at all when he sees Su Mu in front of him.
On the contrary, he spoke quickly and decisively declared:
"I can break the cage myself, but the problem is that once I break this cage, the person who held me here will know immediately. β
"So what you need to help me solve first is to take my sister Qin Wulian outside the imperial capital. As long as she manages to escape the royal grasp, I will naturally flee here on my own. β
......
Qin Wudi's way of speaking was more direct than Su Mu expected.
And through his few words, with Su Mu's wisdom, the general outline of the whole thing has actually been clearly displayed in front of Su Mu's eyes.
However, Su Mu himself, after all, is also a person who does not like to play cards according to common sense.
Even if Su Mu had returned to the empire, his current actions and behavior had also shown Su Mu's sincerity in trying to help in this matter.
However, in the face of Qin Invincible's decisiveness, Su Mu asked softly:
"But what's my benefit?"
"Or what can I get out of it?"
Su Mu's help to Qin Invincible would certainly not come from the heartfelt sympathy between the swordsmen, nor would it be out of pity or sympathy for Qin Invincible.
There is no benefit, Su Mu is obviously not willing to take this risk.
And this benefit also needs to be agreed to by Qin Wushu first, so that Su Mu can continue to act without scruples.
"I will tell you the most secret things about the Empire. β
Without any hesitation, Qin Wudi immediately threw out the condition in his heart.
But for Qin Wudi's answer, Su Mu was not very satisfied. On the contrary, he was interested, looking at the Qi Neng cloak that Qin Wushu used to fight against lava, and added kindly and indifferently:
"I know that the Emperor of your country is the Chosen One, and I also know the dark bards behind him, so the so-called imperial secrets in your mouth are probably not secrets at all. β
Qin Wushu was stunned when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect that Su Mu already knew all this.
However, Qin Wushu is Qin Wushu after all, and in the face of the loss of effectiveness of the chips he expected, Qin Wushu did not hesitate at all, and directly said the second condition in his heart.
And the value of this condition is obviously many times higher than the former:
"When it's done, I'm your sword!"
......
Qin Wushu was obviously a person in essence, not a real sword.
But there is no doubt that when Qin Wushu personally admitted that he would transform himself into a sword, at the moment when he blurted out that sentence, there was a sharp momentum that went straight to the sky, but even Su Mu was moved.
This is Qin Invincible's final hole card, and it is also the exchange method he is most familiar with.
Using oneself as a sword is the ultimate means of Qin Invincible.
However, what even Qin Wushu didn't expect was that in the face of the final answer he gave sharply, Su Mu shook his head lightly before continuing:
"I don't want a sword, I want a man. The sword, although the sharpness is indeed enough, is obviously not heartfelt. The sword is heartless, but I need you to have a heart. β
"After success, you are you, you are Qin Invincible. And Qin Wupian is just Qin Wupian, and I won't control her life. But whether it's you or your sister, you're going to be my men. Be the kind of person who serves me and fights for me. β
Su Mu's addition obviously made Qin Invincible a little inexplicable.
In Qin Wushu's eyes, there seemed to be no essential difference between becoming the sword in Su Mu's hand or the person holding the sword for Su Mu.
After all, in Qin Wudi's opinion, whether it is Yang Zimu, who seems to be extremely loved by the emperor, or himself who has never been liked by the emperor, it is just the difference between a monster and a hunting dog.
Essentially, it's just an animal that the person raised.
However, Su Mu didn't explain too much about this, but suddenly talked about his plan.
"Give me two days, I need two days to arrange for Qin Wulian to be sent out of the imperial capital. Two days later, in the middle of the night, you can tear through the defenses and break out of here. β
"The final meeting point is in the silver snow forest thirty miles outside the city, where I have left a sword qi as a mark, and I am sure you will be able to find it when you arrive. β
"But the most important thing is that if I don't make it there in two days, you will leave directly with Qin Wulian first. At the border between the empire and the Three Kingdoms of Tianzhu, my fiancΓ©e will take your clan elder Qin Dong to wait, and the rest will be arranged by them. β
Regarding Su Mu's explanation, Qin Wushu memorized it in his heart at a very fast speed.
Before Su Mu could repeat the plan, Qin Wushu had already confirmed it in a deep voice.
However, at this moment, with Su Mu giving a detailed description of the method of escaping to Qin Wushu in front of him. What Qin Wudi really wondered about was about another part of this plan:
"How can you guarantee that we will follow your orders after we escape?"
Su Mu smiled when he heard this, and finally returned to the question about people and swords, as if he didn't care about it, and once again said a sentence that Qin Wushu still couldn't really understand:
"I'm actually a gambler, and I'm a gambler who doesn't need a sword, so it's a gamble, and that's what I bet...... Can you turn from a sword back to a human being?"
