Chapter 490: Autumn Harvest Celebration of the Sixth Year Five, Prisoner
The basement was brightly lit and the air was dry, and although the overall feeling was comfortable, it didn't change the fact that it was a dungeon, especially when you saw a vacant single room closed by an iron fence.
The only peculiarity is that the walls are surrounded by creeper roots with magic fluctuations, and the thick and thin branches are coiled together, which faintly plays the role of space prohibition, which is also the best way that can be thought of without a crocodile collar of a high-ring qi magician.
"Is this plant from the girl with shining scales?" asked Jiao Ming, who looked around.
"Exactly. Ice Lotus nodded in acknowledgement, and paused, in front of her, in a single room in the middle of the basement, there was a large metal box of coffin size and appearance, and the appearance showed the dark red pattern effect unique to blood enchantment.
"This coffin is a secret?" Jiao Ming asked again.
"First of all, it's not a coffin, and secondly, it's the contents of the box, to be precise. Binglian nodded, pushed open the iron sliding door, and invited the two to enter.
Jiao Ming thought about the cold cultural background of this world, and stopped the little poem with a curious face. "If it's a corpse, please explain in advance, I've just finished eating, and I'm going to have to cause trouble for the cleaning maid if I vomit here. ”
Binglian chuckled. "Certainly not something disgusting. ”
"Looking at this size, could it be an enemy who has been secretly captured?" Xiao Shi guessed. The dungeon's environment is easy to associate with this, but the answer is anything but surprising.
Binglian just smiled and shook her head, and looked at Jiao Ming again, "Why don't you guess too." ”
"Guess right, there's a prize?"
"Yes!" Of course, Binglian realized from the other party's expression what the reward would be, and after agreeing, in order not to appear too positive, she added: "Limited to three chances." Air magic is not allowed. ”
"You're lost. Jiao Ming said confidently, squinting his eyes slightly and thinking about the coffin in his heart, but he only remembered that the first time he saw this box seemed to be in the Tro Collar, and this thing had been carefully guarded by Saburu Sharp Hail on the way back.
"Secret information stolen from Troll...... Or a sample of a new one?"
"Wrong!" Binglian shook her head. Realize that there is a big hole in this rhetorical question of A or B, and you can't turn a blind eye to it. "And if you ask like that, it's two chances. ”
"You are not outsiders, so why be so strict. Jiao Ming laughed along, recalling the topics before and after the airship mentioned this matter, and continued to speculate hesitantly: "Could it be another inheritance thing, and it was stolen from the Green Flame Kingdom?"
"Still wrong. ”
Jiao Ming stabbed Xiaoshi's back lightly and hinted for help, but said, "How about giving some hints?"
Xiao Shi grinned and said helpfully, "Yes." Sister Binglian, it's too difficult to guess just by looking at the shape of a box. If you don't take the last chance, the reward will be gone. ”
Obviously, the little poem, who was more precocious than his peers in order to cross this, had a vague idea of certain things, and made fun of them.
Binglian took a few deep breaths, tried her best to suppress the urge to blush, and prompted, "It's a living thing." ”
In fact, this dungeon naturally hinted at a 'living thing', but Jiao Ming didn't think of it. Now that he has clearly got this hint, and then thinks of the origin of that inheritance thing, Jiao Ming slapped his forehead, "Could it be that kind of underground alien race?"
On that morning a few days ago, when he was woken up by the silent personality and unexpectedly learned that something might be wrong with the Ice Lotus, Jiao Ming panicked in his heart, and hurriedly inquired about a more secret space marker, only to find that the Ice Lotus was not far in front of him.
The next step is to teleport people over to assist them in the battle, and then ask for details. But he learned about the inheritance, the rare magic medium suspected to be the fifth magic medium, and a series of news about the underground alien race.
"Barely you guessed it. "Ice Lotus unravels the mystery.
Jiao Ming was dissatisfied: "Right is right, wrong is wrong." What is the saying of 'barely right', and what should be the reward? ”
Binglian really blushed this time, and glanced at Jiao Ming fiercely. Isn't that just for the sake of giving away rewards?
Jiao Ming realized this, laughed a few times, pointed to the box and said, "The book is back to the book, talk about this." ”
"If it's just an ordinary underground alien race, it won't bother the Nine Rings powerhouse to protect an inch. Not to mention that he will do everything possible not to let Evan notice the anomaly, and hide it from you on the airship. And the so-called surprise is more of a feature of this captive other than his alien identity. ”
Xiao Shi nodded again and again when she heard this, "I see, in this way, it is really reluctant to count 'guess right'." It's better to count it as a 'guess wrong'. ”
Jiao Ming flicked a finger lightly on Xiao Shi's smooth forehead, 'taught' this little girl who was deliberately teasing the two, and changed the topic before Binglian couldn't hold back her face: "It's better to open it, let's open our eyes." ”
Bing Lian looked at the end of the corridor beyond the iron fence, "Wait a moment, it's best to have a strong person present to be safe for this kind of thing." ”
Thinking about Xia Feng's whereabouts, Jiao Ming nodded and acknowledged this caution. But another question immediately came to mind, "A living creature can't be suffocated if it's locked up in a box for a few days, right?"
"Are we stupid? Of course there are air holes and food. ”
"The problem of the entrance is solved, but the exit is ......" In order to avoid disgusting, Jiao Ming changed his words.
"It can't be helped. We are taking prisoners, not inviting uncles. I only hope that this alien will forget the unpleasantness of this trip soon. ”
Hearing this, Jiao Ming and Xiao Shi glanced at each other, and a very bad picture of unpacking appeared in their minds, and their noses seemed to smell something, and they retreated from the iron fence after tacitly agreeing.
"You?" Binglian was stunned for a moment, after all, the crocodile collar was not so 'squeamish', but shook her head with a wry smile: "Forget it." I didn't expect that when you said this, I would come out too. ”
Regarding alien races and inherited things, of course, they are valued at the top. So the three of them didn't wait long, just chatted a few more words and made a washing plan to transfer clean water, and footsteps sounded at the end of the corridor. It was Saburu Sharp Hail, Spring Rain and Summer Wind, the father and daughter trio.
Jiao Ming had never seen the three of them standing together, but at this time, he once again confirmed that this was a real family, and the bamboo pole's figure and appearance characteristics were simply too similar.
"Hello, Uncle Saburu. ”
"Good evening, young lord. ”
The core character politely greeted him, Jiao Ming also recalled the aristocratic etiquette, followed by a similar greeting, followed by a small poem. Then get to the point. Saburu Hail stepped into the iron fence, his arms lit up, and he grabbed the edge of the box, breaking it open with great force.
Jiao Ming watched the welded iron bars deform and break apart, and realized in his daze that this dare was still a physical lock with pure power as the key, and it really echoed the style of the crocodile collar.
When the lid of the box was completely lifted, Saburu Sharp Hail let out a soft sigh, obviously the situation in the box was unexpected. Binglian and Chunyu, who were already joining in the fun, immediately came over, but Jiao Ming didn't have such a strong curiosity, just prepared the water balloon. The half-hanging sub-space mechanism formed by the surrounding vines, even without the blessing of the silver ring, can be broken through by relying on qi magic techniques.
"What's wrong? There's not enough water to rinse. ”
Ice Lotus, who was relieved to judge life and death with a magical medium for the first time, replied, "It seems to be a strange state of suspended animation. Then he frowned and reached into the box, apparently groping for the interracial buckle. "Excuse me, when you put it in, is that it?"
"Of course not in this state. And the scales, like the other aliens, are bright blue. ”
"How much food?" Ice Lotus continued.
"Not at all, this guy didn't eat a bite. Saburu Sharp Hail said as he reached inside, adding, "And he didn't pee either." ”
Hearing this, Jiao Ming understood that he couldn't see the used baby diaper, so he immediately stepped forward with Xiao Shi, looked across the edge of the iron box, and saw this special captive.
The subject lies motionless on his side in the box, surrounded by bump-proof cloth mats, and is generally not crowded. The whole body is covered with dull and light blue scales, which give the impression of the faded color of an old photograph. The six limbs hugged the tail that rolled up, and the posture seemed to be very relaxed at first, but under the touch of the ice lotus, it was a stiff overall movement, like an earthworm being dried on the road after the rain. In addition, there is food on the side of its mouth, and the base of its tail may be a clean place for excretory holes, as Ice Lotus and Saburu said.
Unlike the other two personalities, Jiao Ming saw this for the first time in the underground alien race. But like the other two personalities, he quickly remembered the six-limbed creature that looked like a lizard that the Ministry of Mining teleported from underground when the small ironworks were established in the Viscount of the Red Mountain Kingdom.
The one in the box and the unlucky one who had been 'tasted' by the madman's personality were very similar, except for the color of the scales, both in terms of appearance and size.
"Either way, wake up first. Binglian decided.
"Wait, what if you accidentally get killed? Breathing gas or a virus infection or something. Jiao Ming reminded.
"No, it's a water system with five rings, it's not that fragile. As for breathing, I've been underground, and the air is a little different, but it's also oxygen-based. Binglian said and beckoned to the water polo.
"Okay. Jiao Ming shrugged, it's always good that the water balloon sent is not wasted. On the other hand, the consideration of preferential treatment of the captives was swallowed.
A rather simple and rude shower went down, waiting for a moment, and the underground alien didn't react. Everyone looked at each other and put forward their own opinions, but in the end, they couldn't escape the word 'stimulus'. Binglian summed up her opinions and decided to try them one by one, and instructed Xia Feng to prepare the materials. While waiting, out of curiosity, Jiao Ming asked for details about the arrest of this alien.
Saburu Hail glanced at the Ice Lotus, and without seeing any hints, he spoke. The process is not complicated, it can be summed up as a coincidence.
However, it was said that on the night that Evan caused the two families to fight, the crocodile leader also received a notice from the Bawen family, saying that the young lord of the ice lotus had an accident and invited him to meet and talk in detail. But this side has already confirmed the safety of Binglian, of course, he is very puzzled, and considering that the task is completed, he will go over to see the situation together.
The crocodile duke secretly found the ice lotus, and after quietly informing the spring rain, he hid to watch the show, or to see how the future heir of the crocodile leader coped with the crisis and secretly protected it. And this is also the reason why Chunyu has taken the initiative in various aspects, and there are not many opportunities to escort on the nine rings.
Saburu Hailstone, on the other hand, met with the Bawen family as plenipotentiary and quickly saw through their attempts to pull cannon fodder. After a few perfunctory words and a word of activity, the entourage rested temporarily on the edge of the Bawen family's camp, and a group of eight rings did not arouse too much vigilance.
Then there was the big explosion of green flames. When the chaotic battle started, Saburu Sharp Hail and others were naturally involved, but during the escape, they happened to bump into a lone five-ring alien race, so they protected it, planning to return it to the Bawen family when the situation stabilized. After all, the news of the alliance between the Bawen family and the alien race is well known to everyone in Jindu City, so it is more or less a good fate and favor. You must know that the five rings are really easy to die inexplicably on a battlefield of this intensity.
As for the reason for not saving more people, it is also very simple: there is not so much spare energy and scarcity is expensive.
When the crocodile led the team to converge the next day, when Binglian saw this alien race, she immediately noticed the abnormality in her soul, and directly seized and packed it, and then returned to the residence of Evan in Jindu City to join Jiao Ming. Needless to say, the rest will happen.
Hearing this, Jiao Ming realized a problem and smiled bitterly. The reason why Binglian didn't tell herself these until this time is obviously about the same as Evan, her acting skills are really poor. But then he put these behind him and asked:
"So what is this soul anomaly, specifically? ”
"It's hard to describe. But I felt that it was a condensed soul, which was exactly what I was looking for. In other words, it is likely that this alien has the ability to communicate with souls, and it is likely that it is the direct bloodline of the family that can comprehend the inheritance of the underground alien race. ”
Jiao Ming suddenly asked, "Like you?"
Binglian nodded slowly, her expression solemn.
At this time, Xia Feng and Luohua moved a lot of equipment that might be used. Needless to say, there are blades and hammers, ice cubes, alcohol lamps, and many bottles and cans of chemicals. The two maids seem to be weaker, but they are actually water magic warriors with six rings and four rings, carrying a lot of things, and they are still walking like flying.
Seeing this, Jiao Ming's expression was distorted, recalling the memory of being tortured. "Well, since the other party is an intelligent creature, how about we respect more or less in the future experiments?"
Binglian only understood Jiao Ming's mind in an instant, pondered for a moment, weighed it repeatedly in her heart, and finally set the strategic direction of Huairou, and gave a guarantee: "Listen to you." You say stop, and we'll stop. ”
