Chapter 21: The Black Cage
Qin Yang and He Danxue, who stretched their heads closest to this iron cage, looked at each other, not knowing what to do in the face of this sudden situation. It stands to reason that everyone is very clear that this world has been closed to the outside world for thousands of years, and the desolation of the big ship through history, the withering and quiet of the natural environment that has been precipitated for a long time, is definitely not something that can be formed in a day or two. The traces of the passage of this world are by no means something that anyone can easily fake.
In this way, since he was trapped in a cage, the old man should have existed here for at least the same time as this space, for a thousand years. And in him, there is still a trace of life. Although this breath has become very faint and faint, it is undoubtedly there after all. However, in this world, it is very difficult to achieve a thousand years of incorruptibility of the corpse after death, and there are really people who can survive for a thousand years in a cage that is dark, lonely, and can't even drink water?
If this kind of thing is said to outsiders who are not at the scene, it is estimated that the first reaction of others will not be surprise, but first doubt whether Qin Yang's spirit is normal. Even if he is an emperor-level master, in Qin Yang's memory, someone from the Hongye Sect has already shocked the mainland if he lives to be seven hundred and sixty years old. However, that ancestor lived on Hongye Mountain, which was extremely advantageous in both feng shui and environment, how could it be compared to this cage? But Qin Yang knew that his spiritual sense detection would definitely not lie, all of this was really true.
With huge doubts, Qin Yang saw that the old man did not have any changes because of the approach of a few people, and after calming down a little in his heart, he took He Danxue and retreated to the rest of the people. After thinking for a while, he asked in a low voice, "Look, what should be done in this situation." ”
"Let's go around it, after all, the person who can be locked up here must not be an ordinary person, and if he is released, nothing will necessarily happen. If he had lost his mind, it would probably be even worse......" Xie Luli's brows furrowed slightly, and she was the first to express her opinion.
After Xie Luli's voice fell, the nine of them collectively fell into silence for a while, and it was indeed a difficult question to choose.
After a long time, Lin Jingfang timidly looked around at everyone, and slowly opened his mouth under Huang Ruiyuan's encouragement: "I think it, we can't see the end of this world after walking for so long, if we can rescue that old man, maybe we can provide us with some guidance." And he has become like that, even if he really had the power to tower, after thousands of years of baptism and prison devastation, how much power is left to threaten us?"
When Yan Wenqing heard this, he stood on the ground with the big knife, smiled at a few people, and then said loudly: "My old Yan doesn't think as much as my younger siblings think about in my heart, but I know that such an old person is trapped here, can he not be saved?
These words immediately caused a lot of resonance, after all, everyone's hearts are flesh and blood, and in the face of a dying old man, no one will ignite a trace of sympathy from the bottom of their hearts. Qin Yang looked around again, and found that there was no opposition on everyone's faces, and after making a decision, he immediately raised the Red Fire Sword high, and slowly leaned towards the black one step by step: "Anyway, this world can't see the end, whether it's dead or alive, it's nothing more than fighting." ”
At the moment when Qin Yang's long sword suddenly touched the black iron cage, four huge sounds that broke through the ground exploded in the ears of several people in an instant. Before they could confirm the source of the voice, four ghost lotus plants that were the same as those over there just now came out of the surroundings of the black iron cage again, instantly surrounding Qin Yang in the middle, and the rattans that spread out immediately wrapped Qin Yang tightly.
"Boss!" Seeing this, Yang Hao and the others could not stand, and then divided into four directions and attacked towards this big amazing lotus. Fortunately, everyone could see clearly how Qin Yang solved the process of this lotus just now, and after looking at each other a few times, everyone had a tacit understanding that one cut down the rattan outside and the other attacked the lotus pod in the interior, when even the crazy offensive of this lotus flower was controlled.
As the four long swords exploded in an instant above the lotus canopy, the four powerful explosions destroyed the torsos of these lotus flowers in an instant, and the vines bound to Qin Yang's body disappeared with them. Qin Yang, who was critted by the four ghost lotus flowers at the same time, gasped and stabilized his figure, to be honest, the one just now was so sudden that he didn't even have time to raise the Red Fire Sword, he was already entangled in that large pile of rattans. Fortunately, a few guys outside also knew the basic means of dealing with this lotus, which avoided the human tragedy of Qin Yang suffocating to death.
After moving the bodies of the four lotus plants away, several people immediately walked to Qin Yang's side and cautiously looked at the specific structure of the black iron cage together. After conducting a second study and judgment of the entire cage's structure, Qin Yang Fang once again raised his sword and slashed at an iron rod on the side corner of the cage that was obviously a little thinner.
Although he didn't know why the cage for such a powerful man was so simple, and even a little vulnerable, Qin Yang still immediately cut off several iron pillars next to the iron rod. These seemed to be just the most ordinary obstacles made of black iron, naturally they couldn't resist the red fire sword made of refined iron after repeated tempering, and it didn't take long for a hole that could be passed through by Qin Yang to break through.
Although he could feel the little bit of vitality coming from the old man's body, Qin Yang and the others' actions still didn't trigger even a slight reaction from him. The white hair and beard slowly trembled with the gentle breeze, and the eyes with a pair of eyelids covered with folds were still tightly closed, as if they didn't feel the action of Qin Yang and the others breaking the cage on the side at all.
However, when Qin Yang poked his head into the entire black iron cage, a different feeling touched his heart. The entire inside of the cage was filled with all kinds of traces of the old man's unyielding back then, although those traces had become very blurred, but Qin Yang could still feel an unyielding intention transmitted from it a long time ago.
On the walls of the cage, which was full of resistance, hung more than a dozen hooks, all of which were iron cables, and the only purpose of these ropes was to tie the man up and prevent him from escaping. But Qin Yang's eyes were very obvious to find that these chains were just black iron of slightly better quality, and they were still far from completely tying people up, not to mention tying up such a former powerhouse, even if they were tied to Qin Yang, he could easily break free of these chains with his personal strength.
But just as Qin Yang was about to slash the Red Fire Sword straight above these chains to free the old man, Luo Qinglin grabbed his hand from behind and said loudly, "Don't worry, wait a minute, let me take a look." ”
Qin Yang has known for so long that Luo Qinglin is not a person who likes to be alarmist, since she has said so, then there must be a reason for her to say so, without saying a word, Qin Yang immediately gave up a position to Luo Qinglin, and let her carefully look at the dozen or so chains in front of her.
Luo Qinglin's eyes were much more serious than Qin Yang's, and with her hands behind her back, she carefully focused her gaze on a few of the chains that were obviously thinner. After carefully observing the chains repeatedly, she suddenly turned her head and looked at the potato standing behind: "Potato, are you carrying those spirit cores?"
When Tudou heard this, he immediately walked to Luo Qinglin with the bag full of spirit cores, and untied the bag with his hand: "Sister Luo, you can take it." ”
"Sister Qinglin, what are you doing with this thing?" Without understanding Luo Qinglin's specific purpose, Qin Yang, who was standing on the side, asked with a puzzled face.
"It's nothing, you just look at it. Under Qin Yang's intently gaze, Luo Qinglin slowly placed several spirit cores on one of the thinner chains. Before Qin Yang could ask why, the shocking thing had already happened in front of the two of them, only to see that the spirit core melted instantly on the chain, and the kind of soul-nourishing mental power contained in it was completely absorbed by the chain in the blink of an eye.
"This ...... This ......" staring at the strange scene in front of him, Qin Yang couldn't say a word, if it was a pot, a cup, even a basin, such an iron chain tied to the iron wall, when would it be able to absorb energy.
Looking at Qin Yang's widening eyes, Luo Qinglin frowned and explained softly: "According to the records of the classics, this should be the spirit chain, although it belongs to the kind of material that is relatively poor, but in terms of effect, it is definitely at the top of the list." I don't know what kind of forging method is used, but I can actually use a material like black iron to create such a spirit chain. ”
"Spirit Chains?" With this name alone, Qin Yang also heard a little bit of fame, and then asked, "Sister Qinglin is saying that these chains are thinner, and they are not locked in the human body, but in the place where the spirit platform is located, and they can control the soul, right?"
"That's right," Luo Qinglin nodded lightly when she heard this, "These chains are extraordinary, and they are already effective enough to directly extract the power of the spirit and completely suppress the soul of the person, which is the main reason why the energy of the spirit core was absorbed just now." ”
As soon as Luo Qinglin finished saying this, both of them fell into silence at the same time, if they wanted to rescue this old man, they had to cut off this spirit chain, but even a person with extremely strong spiritual power like Qin Yang could not resist the violent extraction of this spirit chain
