Chapter 12: The Chamber of Secrets
"The fastest distance from Helheim to the human realm is a dark river that goes upstream, spiraling and rising into the air, but it is locked here, and I don't know when I will find your place to live. ”
The high platform is deeply locked, the boundary of the hollowed-out dueling arena, the highest point, as far as the eye can see, is desolate, endless desert, dark black sky.
"It seems that the ring around this neck has no positioning function, it is just a tool used to measure combat effectiveness. ”
Standing in the cold wind, Xuan Chen looked around.
Not long ago, the time was dark and deep, Xuan Chen carefully searched every corner of the prison, the passage connecting the arena, the door to the mysterious room, other than that, there was nothing worth noting, but the newly moved books in the study room were quite interesting.
The uniformed guards all entered the mysterious room in the middle of the night, thinking that it was a resting place isolated from this arena, and they were a little curious, but thinking of what Lin Meng said, he was only seven hundred combat strength away from entering that room, and he didn't think much about it, but it was even more important to figure out this death shackle.
Although asking Lin Meng is a quicker way, it is inconvenient for Xuan Chen to tell Lin Meng directly about the prison escape, although he mentioned it before, it is just a half-joke, besides, if this kind of thing is not confirmed in person, how can he know whether it is true or false.
Along the passage of the prison all the way to the gate connecting the arena, as Xuan Chen expected, the door was open, it seems that these people are very confident in the effect of this death shackle, I think that no one in this prison has successfully escaped, which can explain why someone died at the moment of escape, it is very simple to leave, you can walk by jumping out, but the moment you jump out, the deadly object on your neck is enough to kill you.
The arm stretched out through the hollowed-out concrete wall, and the breeze swept by, called freedom, although it was a stone's throw away, it was also the distance of the world.
"Hey, why are you still guarding here?"
"This is the order of those apostles, and if you don't obey it, you will be sent to this dueling arena. ”
In the other goblin passage, two goblin guards stood at the edge of the break room and talked, their voices sharp as if they were about to tear it all apart.
"No one will come from the other side, and the apostles will not bother to pay attention to us, except during the day, and few apostles will stay in such a place at night. ”
Holding the flask in his hand, the pointed ears were already flushed.
"Come on, come on, drink with me. ”
"I really can't help you, I was found by the apostles, and you have to intercede for me. ”
"No problem!"
The smell of wine spread out as the goblin's mouth closed one by one.
"This other cell should also be part of the arena. ”
With his ears pressed against the wall, Xuan Chen, who was about to leave, could hear the conversation between the two goblins clearly.
Xuan Chen, who had noticed something strange during the duel yesterday, had long wanted to come to the underground on this side to find out, and he was as careful as possible, clinging to the wall, looking at it, and only after confirming that there was no one dared to step into the passage.
The blue-purple light dimmed a little, and from time to time there was a shrill laughter in the distance of the passage, and it was hard to hear what was being said, and it was full of wine.
The structure here is different from the human side, with no rest area at the end of the passage, only a staircase that slopes down to the deepest part.
The sound was getting louder and louder, the howl of the goblin, the conversation of the guards, along the edge of the stairs was also gradually coming to an end, the incandescent light was unusually bright, and he didn't dare to move, just stuck to the wall at the bottom of the stairs, following the source of the sound, Xuanchen hid on the left.
The slightly dim cage in front of him, countless wooden fences separated the darkness into countless compartments, the goblins in twos and threes, unable to see their figures, and on the left, next to the wooden tables and chairs, the two guards were drunk.
Why?
In the previous cell, Xuan Chen was puzzled, if he was a prisoner, this treatment would be a bit high, and the treatment of this goblin should be normal.
The sight fell on the wooden door on the right, and yesterday's perception that the strange aura came from here.
But now, rushing straight over is clearly sending him to death.
The only chance is to wait for the two goblins to get drunk or get out of here.
"Hey, why do you guys drink so fast!"
The taller goblin turned the flask upside down and shook it vigorously, and his body looked like it was about to stagger.
"You wait here, I'll go get the wine. ”
"How can you drink enough wine......
The other goblin was already fluttering and stood up.
"I'll go with you......"
The goblin race is also a heavy drinker, but they really can't compliment the amount of alcohol.
Suppressed his spiritual power, stepped lightly on the ground, and did not dare to make a sound, there was no cover between this area and the cage, but in the dark, this distance was safe enough.
Quickly open the door and turn your back.
There is another passage, with a stone floor and no steps, and the torches on both sides seem to tell that the passage was not designed from the beginning.
It was unusually quiet, and I could only hear the sound of my own speeding heartbeat.
"Ah!!!!!h
Around the corner, there was a terrifying scream, Xuan Chen couldn't help but pause, this is the voice of a human being, although the existence of spiritual power is no longer detected, but the feeling is definitely not wrong, the human being of the day was sent here.
"What is the pointless act of the apostles to prevent the direct death of mankind? ”
Right in front of him, as long as he turned sideways, he could see the source of this sound, but Xuan Chen didn't dare to move, the sound of gasping, the sound of talking, it was the apostle!
"Lika, what do you mean by this demon king, why do you go to such great lengths to cultivate this group of Terrans. ”
is still covered in black, with two short sharp horns on the head, other than that, there is not much difference from humans, and there are some simple faces.
"How many times have I told you that if the demons want to start a war again, they need troops. ”
The other apostle was a little impatient, and he had no choice but to be assigned to do this job, but who could complain about this, and the words of the superior apostle did not dare to disobey.
"If you need troops, you can go directly to the human realm to arrest him for hundreds of thousands of people, so why bother borrowing the hands of goblins. ”
"You don't know the current situation, go directly to the Terran to arrest people, do you want to start a war with the Terran now?"
Ai Dang shook his head helplessly, coming here was enough to be upset, who expected his partner to be an idiot.
"You're saying that it's not wise for the demons to go to war with the Terrans now, so use the hands of the goblins to accumulate troops without causing a war!"
Ai Dang looked suddenly bright, living like a mentally retarded person.
"But why don't humans come to fight the goblins?"
"There are so many questions, you ask again, next time you will come by yourself!"
Li Ka replied angrily, when Ai Dang heard this, he no longer said much, and he ran here alone in the middle of the night, and he was not suffocated.
The screams started again, and Xuan Chen, who only listened, felt furious in his heart, and heard that three more died today.
Taking a deep breath, he couldn't help but look at the other side of the corner, clinging to the wall, turning his head sideways, one side of his face was attached to the wall, and for a moment, Xuan Chen's eyes swept everything.
Instantly retracted, with his back against the wall, stunned.
