Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Secret of the Dungeon
Exploring the basement again, the wire bent and poked the door open, lit the fire, and went down the stairs in the dark.
The basement was silent, after his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he barely saw according to the faint light, and the ghostly murmur echoed clearly, Tang Qi licked the corners of his mouth, it really came from here, nine times out of ten there is a secret room or something.
There are so many rooms, I can only find them one by one.
Tang Qi started from the beginning, bent his fingers and knocked on the walls of each room, the bluestone walls were covered with moss, and his voice was low, intertwined with the murmur, revealing a hint of fear.
Knocking from the beginning to the end, without finding the location of the secret room, Tang Qi lit the wall with the fire that was about to be extinguished, and watched the flames swaying with bated breath, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, and the wind flowed in the seemingly seamless depths.
Understood, it was underground, Tang Qi squatted down and tapped the stone slab, and after twenty steps, an empty sound came.
This is it!
What is the mechanism, looking around at the emptiness, suddenly a mossy bluestone in the corner of the wall at his feet attracted attention, and leaned over to push this bluestone.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded, and the heavily armed Ammon walked out of the staircase and looked at Tang Qi indifferently: "Curiosity kills the cat, you should go back to the quilt to enjoy the warmth, instead of braving the cold to explore secrets that have nothing to do with you." ”
"I've tried to hide my whereabouts, but you're still aware of it, Ammon, is this secret really irrelevant to me?" asked Tang Qi, standing up.
Ammon was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Since you guessed, I will make it clear, I do hope to get your help to deal with one thing, but not now. ”
"What are your requirements, why don't you tell me directly, it's not too embarrassing, I'll help you for the sake of the source technique." But I don't like to be calculated. Tang Qi raised his shield.
Ammon didn't rush to answer, but thought for a while, and Tang Qi waited quietly.
"I want you to help me kill someone, a murderer who killed my child. ”
"The guy locked up in the secret room?" Tang Qi took a slight breath, he hadn't guessed whether there would be a prisoner in the secret room, but when he got the result, he was still shocked. What kind of special people get this kind of treatment?
After saying the goal, Ammon was visibly relieved: "Shocked, doubtful? I'll let you see how he is doing." ”
"With your own eyes?" Tang Qi was surprised, didn't he always want to open the secret room by himself.
Seeing through Tang Qi's thoughts, Ammon seemed to smile: "You actually know the secret, I don't let you see the specific situation of the person you want to kill, how can you judge whether to help me or not, I don't like calculating people." He kicked at the bluestone, and there was a boom, and the deepest part of the ground cracked a path on either side.
Ammon walked in in the dark, and Tang Qi followed him with the hilt of his sword at his waist.
"He is a nobleman, a guy locked up here, and what he did should have been hanged, but because of his noble status and past military exploits, the noble council finally sentenced him to life imprisonment. Fearing that the populace would find out about it, they set up a secret dungeon in this prison to imprison him. Ammon said as he walked.
"In fact, those nobles had long hoped that he was dead, this dungeon has been a secret since it was built, few people know about it, and no one has ever brought him food and water, and the nobles have long regarded the dungeon as his grave. ”
"No one sent food and water!" Tang Qi grasped the point, and his face changed suddenly: "Could it be that he is ...... Above the Source Palace, the master of the Outer Source Realm!"
The Source Palace Realm must eat, and only those who break through the Source Palace and can influence the outside world with their own External Source Realm powerhouses can directly absorb the source power without eating.
"That's right, what, you're scared?" said Ammon with an eyebrow.
"Nonsense! Are you crazy, even if it's the Source Palace Realm, we are not opponents when we join forces, I won't accompany you if you go to death." Tang Qi stopped, and there seemed to be a fierce beast entrenched in the darkness ahead.
Ammon said: "Of course I won't send him to death, when you see his situation, you will know why I dare to kill him, you won't even have the courage to look at him." ”
Just a glance, Tang Qi hesitated, the powerhouse of the Exogenous Realm, I don't know if I have never had the opportunity to get close to each other in my life, Ammon shouldn't have lied to me, if it weren't for the bad situation, this prison wouldn't be able to hold him at all, but the wonder of the Exogenous Realm is indescribable, maybe......
The two thoughts in his mind clashed, and in the end, Tang Qi gritted his teeth, if he didn't even have the courage to take a look, how could he be indomitable in his cultivation in the future, the path of source cultivation was full of crises, and every breakthrough was a life of death, if he retreated at this time, it would leave a shadow in the future.
"Lead the way!" said Tang Qi heroically.
The staircase was dark and deep, and the air was damp, and Ammon picked up the kerosene lamp he had prepared to lead the way, and walked down a thousand and two hundred steps to the bottom.
At the top of the staircase are two tall lampholders, the cloudy oil is lit, and along the line one oil lamp is lit, and forty-six tall lampholders illuminate the whole hall. However, looking at it, the scene in the hall made Tang Qi's hands and feet cold, and his heart contracted suddenly, as if he was about to jump out of his throat.
"People...... What about people?!"
In the center of the hall stood a cross, the color of which was so black that it could absorb the light, and the three hundred and twenty iron nails on the cross were stained with blood and glowed with a faint gray light, and one could imagine the barbed iron nails hooking the bones and locking people to the cross. Judging from the fluctuation of the source force, the cross turned out to be a source device, and the level surpassed all the source weapons that Tang Qi had ever seen.
But there was no one on the cross!
The dried blood stains indicate that someone was once locked on it, but now there is none, fear breeds, Tang Qi wanted to hear other explanations from Ammon's mouth, turned his head to look, and found that Ammon was not as good as himself, his whole body was trembling, his face was pale, as if he would collapse and fall to the ground at any time, please, didn't you want to kill him just now......
"He ran away?"
Donkey grabbed Ammon by the shoulder and yelled.
Ammon nodded with difficulty, Tang Qi felt dizzy, a prisoner from the Outer Origin Realm had escaped from prison, it was too terrifying, if it was infiltrated and destroyed, the entire Winterfell would have to experience a nightmare, which could add a new story to the future mother to scare her child. Fortunately, judging from the bloodstains, it has been a while since I escaped from prison, so I don't have to worry about breaking through the prison and being killed.
"How could it be, he couldn't have escaped on his own!" Ammon roared, rushing to the cross to inspect it, and as his eyes were bloodshot, he picked up a stone with blue veins from the ground. Tang Qi stepped forward and heard the intermittent murmur coming from the stone, the same murmur he heard every night.
"Damn, it's the Gramophone Magic Stone, who saved him!" Ammon was furious, and his five fingers clenched into fists, and he actually crushed the hard Gramophone Magic Stone. The Gramophone Magic Stone is the product of the research of the Bachelor's Tower, which can leave a recording, driven by the source force, and the name of the magic stone is the name of the era of inheritance.
"The Gramophone Stone doesn't have an automatic timing function, but lately, the murmuring has appeared on time every night...... Tang Qi said, Ammon calmed down and realized what he meant, and appeared on time every night, indicating that someone came here every night to place the Gramophone Stone, and it also means that the prison escape was in the past two days.
"I'm here today on my feet, and the person who put down the magic stone should be blocked here, do you think this is good news?" Tang Qi clenched his sword and shield, his center of gravity sank, and he wanted to use joking to dispel his fear.
Ammon was about to answer, when a sword light suddenly fell from above!
