You can't run, and it's not Quest's style to retreat. In addition, he was also very interested in the engines of the boat.

So, he simply "surrendered". Before surrendering, in order to play more realistically, Quest also made a proper resistance.

He threw an elongated serrated dagger and nailed a self-defeating Quasaimo, and he immediately raised his hands in the astonishment of Puu's gaze.

"I surrendered, and to kill me was one less oarsman. ”

A very reasonable explanation, the lead deterioration, the flesh-covered Bagula Ape Demon, strode forward.

He stretched out his strong arms and grabbed Quest's wrists with both hands, "He is my share, and the half-sheep is yours." ”

The other deteriorators may be controversial, after all, as far as the hand that has just been revealed, Quest should be a good warrior.

Such a mortal is best suited as an oarsman.

However, due to the strength of the Bagula Ape Demon, they did not dare to raise any objections, so they nodded in agreement and set their sights on Puu.

In the end, Puu was captured by a Campion demon, and the rest of the degraders could only run to the other workshops in frustration.

"Don't worry, I'm covering you, let's sneak out when we find a chance, anyway, they don't always check the number of people. ”

As he walked, Puwu, the half-goat, quietly approached Quest and whispered about his "big plan" for escape.

In order to reassure Ques, he also showed off his unique skills, and regurgitated two grass balls from his stomach pouch with a puff of cheeks.

"Razor vine's spore mass," the half-sheep man blinked, "it's convenient to use, enough to give the fabricated a chance to escape." ”

Quest was sure that though Puu thought he was speaking very quietly, the Bagura ape demon must have heard him.

To his astonishment, the leader of the Degraders did not react at all, and seemed indifferent to the impending trouble.

Indeed, whether the "Engine R&D Center" will be destroyed or not, Bagula Ape Demon is not worried at all.

He only knew that as long as a few people were submitted today, the "oars" that needed to be replenished urgently would not be his turn.

That's enough.

Compared to the entire shipyard, the workshop of the "Engine R&D Center" is actually not large, and they came to the work area after walking for a short time.

There was an oval-shaped pool filled with a blood-red liquid, presumably the water of the River Styx brought in from outside the city.

The whole work area is full of unpleasant atmosphere, and there may have been a large amount of negative energy accumulation here not long ago.

At the edge of the pool stands a circle of dismantled masts, on which are hung a number of lights to illuminate the surroundings.

The degraders who went out to "catch Ding" returned to the pool of the Styx one after another, and most of them succeeded in catching the "substitute ghosts".

When the last of the degraders had assembled, the Bagura Ape Demon, who had been waiting quietly, straightened up and shouted:

"Close the rune gate, bring all the 'oarsmen' sent from each workshop, and make up for the shortcomings by the people caught this time!"

As soon as the words fell, the two Sil Demons, who were more like sheep than the half-sheep man Puu, with goat's heads, immediately took action.

They ran to the full pool of the Styx, hooked something with the sprigs on their halberds, and scooped it up together.

It was a wet steering wheel.

Sillmo took the halberd in his mouth, and turned the steering wheel together, and the wooden bearings creaked like a thousand whispers in unison.

As the steering wheel turned, several holes appeared in the rune cloth walls, and laborers from other workshops came out of them.

These people were covered only by loincloths, and they were silent, only to move forward under the reprimand and whip of the degraders.

Their fitness seemed to be very bad, and the hard work of the day had worn down their muscles, leaving them with only a jagged skeleton.

Each person had an iron ring tied around his waist and a handcuff around his wrist, and the iron rings and handcuffs were tied to others in short, heavy chains.

And because they are tied too tightly, these people who are shackled can sit and squat, but they can't lie down and rest.

"What can they do?" asked Phuw in a whisper, turning his head, "They probably won't even be able to pick up the oars." ”

The half-sheep man seemed to be chewing something in his mouth, shrugged his shoulders, and explained to Quest in a helpless tone:

"First of all, it's not 'them' but 'us', and then, we're 'paddling', but we don't really need to have a lot of strength. ”

Quiz was still suspicious, and Puu didn't explain any more, just raised his chin and pointed to the pool with his goatee-like beard.

"What's going on...... I don't know, but just keep looking...... Don't forget what I said. ”

He didn't ask why, and Quest wasn't annoyed - as Puu said, he would probably be able to clear up his doubts if he continued to read.

Seeing that everything was ready, and the number of people was counted, the leader of the degraders, Bagula Ape, nodded, and roared again:

"Lower the cauldron! ”

Perhaps because of the importance of this work, he chose to do it himself, rather than by the hands of others.

I saw this majestic demon kick his legs violently, jumped up more than thirty feet, and reached out to grab the ring on the ceiling.

Using his own body weight, the Bagula Ape Demon dragged the ring down, activating the mechanism in the workshop.

"Click" ...... With the sound of hinges rubbing, an object resembling a cauldron slowly fell from the top of the ceiling.

The bottom of this "cauldron" faces the pool of the River Styx, and rows of "oars" protrude from its edge and sink into the pool.

After maintaining stability, a hole was cracked in this "cauldron", from which the gangway protruded, connecting to the ground.

All the deteriorators were busy, urging the laborers to form a single column and go up the gangway one by one.

"That's what happened!"

Colorful magic aura poured out from the hole in the "cauldron", reflecting into the arcane vision of the young blue dragon.

The material of the "cauldron" is somewhat special, and it seems to be able to prevent spell energy from overflowing or seeping in, and it can also block spell fluctuations.

Based on the reflected spell aura, Quis was able to analyze that at least two spell rune systems were engraved inside the cauldron.

One set is relatively simple, but it has a single "dissociation" effect, which can instantly kill living things and decompose them into dust.

The other system is more responsible, not only being able to release the "Soul Suppression Technique", but also extracting soul energy and transforming it.

"This cauldron is actually an 'enlarged' version of the obsidian orb, and the so-called 'engine' is actually driven by soul energy. ”

Thinking of this, Quith couldn't help but feel a little lacking in interest.

Originally, he wanted to see if he could borrow a lesson or two from the engine of this boat and steal some of its technology to add to the new prosperous town.

But who would have thought that this engine is so lacking in creativity.

In addition to the fact that its outer material is relatively special and has a certain attraction to Queth, this engine is simply a big road commodity.
