Chapter Forty-Eight: The Murderer
In the middle of the night, the Demon Hunting Division is dark and silent, and beside the bluestone road that extends in all directions, there are mighty lions, leaving only a faint silhouette in the middle of the night.
Zhuo Tianyu walked in front with his hands in his hands, the strange thing was that he couldn't see, but there was no obstacle when he walked.
"Ace, is the dry food ready?"
Suddenly, Zhuo Tianyu's cold voice sounded.
"Ah, it's ready." Chu Ce touched the bear meat hanging on his waist and replied.
It's winter now, and the temperature is very low, so I'm not worried about the spoilage of the bear meat.
"That'll be fine."
Zhuo Tianyu said, took out a blank piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Chu Ce: "This is a map I drew from memory, you should be able to reach the camp by following the above steps." ”
Chu Ce took it and glanced at it roughly, the map was very simple, just pointing to the approximate direction and distance, but it was almost enough for Chu Ce, after all, he had been in the camp for half a month, and he would go out to patrol every day, as long as he walked nearby, he would naturally recognize the road.
Zhuo Tianyu said again: "I have prepared a lot of supplies at the Lin Ji Butcher Shop in the north of the city, you remember to bring them later, otherwise it will be difficult for the people in the camp to survive this winter." ”
Chu Ce was silent, Zhuo Tianyu was hiding too deeply, Chu Ce couldn't guess his thoughts at all, and he didn't know how much the lives of the people in the camp were worth in his heart.
Suddenly, Zhuo Tianyu stopped: "It's here." ”
Chu Ce looked up, and in front of him was a deep tunnel, and two torches were hanging at the entrance of the tunnel, exuding a dim light.
"What is this?"
"Find you a helper, I have prepared sixty kilograms of supplies, and you can't move it alone."
With that, Zhuo Tianyu walked down the tunnel.
Chu Ce looked around hesitantly, he had the impression that the next door was the place where Xiao Tiance forced him to ask him before.
After hesitating for a while, he still had the courage to follow.
If Zhuo Tianyu wanted to harm him, there was no need to be so troublesome.
The tunnel is very deep, about twenty meters down, and then I saw a gate made of fine iron, there is a perspective window on the door, Zhuo Tianyu stepped forward and knocked gently, and soon the perspective window was opened, two eyes poked out of it, and after sweeping around, but listening to the sound of "clanging", the door was opened.
Behind the door, there were two armor soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Demon Hunting Division, and they saluted respectfully to Zhuo Tianyu: "My lord! How did you get here? ”
Zhuo Tianyu didn't answer, but said lightly: "Lead the way, go to the bottom." ”
The faces of the two armor soldiers changed slightly, as if they were very afraid of the things below, but they didn't dare to disobey Zhuo Tianyu, so they had to take the torch and carefully touch it down.
Chu Ce also followed, and went down the stone stairs to a prison, each floor was separated by a dozen cells, and the ground was covered with withered grass.
There were several criminals who were imprisoned here, they were ragged and covered with blood scars, and when they saw Chu Ce and the others, they couldn't wait to shout: "My lord! Wronged! Wronged! ”
"Silence!"
One of the armorers shouted angrily, pulled out the whip from his waist and struck the prisoner hard, and with a few screams, they all fell silent.
The soldier came back with a smile: "These thieves of the Red Lotus Sect have disturbed the adults, they really deserve death, and if you want me to say that they should have been sent to the execution ground and beheaded one by one!" ”
Zhuo Tianyu didn't say anything, but said lightly: "Keep going." ”
The four of them continued to go down, and the further down they went, the smaller the number of prisoners became, and when they saw Chu Ce and his party, they were not as excited as the prisoners above, they just glanced up lightly, and then lowered their heads again, their eyes dim.
Chu Ce even saw a lot of martial artists, and even those who had achieved great strength.
After walking three or four floors, he could no longer see a prisoner.
"Tianyu, how many floors are there here?"
Chu Ce felt a little furious in his heart, and couldn't help but ask.
"Eighteenth floor." Zhuo Tianyu didn't stop, "But in fact, there is a prisoner on the lower ninth floor." ”
Chu Ce smacked his tongue secretly when he heard this, he didn't expect that there was such a deep prison under the Demon Hunting Division, the eighteenth floor was more than fifty meters underground, what kind of prisoner should be locked up under such a bottom? And is there enough air to circulate?
With doubts, the four of them finally came to the bottom.
It was already dark and dark, and there was no light to be seen except for the torches in the hands of the two armorers. The air was rotten and dull, and after only a minute of staying, Chu Ce felt that it was difficult to breathe.
"Wow!"
The firelight illuminated the depths of the prison, where there were no cages, only a rusty iron cross erected in the center, a captive figure bound tightly in chains, steel locks fastened to his joints and wrists, and an iron mask was welded to his face, with only small openings in his mouth and eyes.
It was clear that the man was tied to the cross and could not move, but the two jailers were so frightened that they did not dare to move forward even a step when they stood in the doorway.
Suddenly, a pair of scarlet pupils suddenly appeared from under the hole in the iron mask!
Those eyes remained motionless, staring at the four people standing at the top of the stairs, which made Chu Ce feel a strong sense of oppression.
"Tianyu, who is this person?"
"A murderer who escaped from Dongfu." Zhuo Tianyu said lightly.
"Murderer?"
"Well, that's what he was called over there, and it's said that he killed more than 200 people along the way."
"More than two hundred!" Chu Ce gasped, "Then why don't you be executed?" ”
"The boss wants to use him to refine corpse soldiers, so as not to waste this rich evil qi." Saying that, Zhuo Tianyu stepped forward slowly and sighed: "If it is another three years, this person will lose his mind and become another hole card of my Demon Hunting Division, but unfortunately the current situation is urgent, but it is about to be started in advance." ”
Chu Ce was shocked when he heard this, no wonder even Wei Xiong was in awe and fear of the Demon Hunting Division, he had taken root in Heavenly Wolf City for so many years, and he didn't know how many strange methods he had accumulated, and his strength was far from imaginable to ordinary people.
On the other side, the two armor soldiers were even more shocked than Chu Ce, and one of them shouted loudly: "Lord Zhuo! You're going to let this murderer out? But General Huang said that he couldn't ...... without his instructions."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhuo Tianyu gently put his index finger between his lips.
"Shh
Then, he slowly took out a piece of rune paper from his bosom, and with a flick of his fingers, the rune paper was like a sharp arrow shooting towards the iron cross, but before the rune paper touched the cross, he heard a crisp sound, and a flash of golden light disappeared, as if some shield had shattered.
And almost at the same moment, the chains that bound the murderer turned rusty at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Adult ......"
The two armor soldiers wanted to say something, but at this time, Zhuo Tianyu suddenly smiled ghostly, his hands stretched out like lightning, and instantly grabbed the shoulder blades of the two of them, and the next moment, he saw two voices rise into the air, falling far away beside the bound murderer!
As soon as the two fell to the ground, they bounced up like an electric shock, and their faces were full of horror: "My lord! What are you doing here? ”
The two armor soldiers shouted in a panic, hurriedly trying to stay away from the murderer, but at this time, Zhuo Tianyu stretched out his hand, swiped lightly in front of him, and at the same time spat lightly: "Seal." ”
In the next second, I saw that the dead grass was rolled up, and a straight line appeared on the ground that ran across the entire cage!
When the two armorers ran in front of the straight line, it was as if they had hit an invisible wall!
"My lord! Spare your life! ”
They let out a frightened scream, but Zhuo Tianyu was unmoved, and at this moment, there was a muffled sound from the iron cross!
It's like - there's a sleeping beast about to wake up!
