Chapter 235: Red Flame Altar
The group followed the terrifying river of magma to the fissure, and they stood in a row on a narrow stone in the shape of a single-plank bridge, with gurgling hot lava on one side and an underground crack of unknown depth on the other.
"It's thanks to the huge climate difference brought about by the World Tree that so many cracks have appeared on the ground, countless cracks can lead to almost every corner of the Extreme Cold Hell, but there are also many cracks that end in hot magma." The mage spoke, taking the lead and burrowing into the crack first.
The team members followed, and the other prisoners followed the team, these prisoners didn't talk much along the way, and some of them didn't seem to want to go in with them, but they also followed all the way as if they wanted to repay Gong Piqing for saving his life, and no one expressed their dissatisfaction.
There was only about the width of two people walking side by side in the crack, and there was no light in it, but the prisoners and the team members all showed their own magical powers, and the team members turned on the night vision function of the battle suits, and the prisoners were familiar with the road, Gong Piqing followed behind the mage who led the way, blessed with a visual enhancement comparable to the night vision function and went deeper.
According to the team's suits, the temperature around them was more than 60 degrees at this time, and the temperature control system of the suits suddenly changed from heating to cooling and insulation, as if suddenly from the cold winter into the hot summer.
None of them expected that they would encounter such a hot environment in the country of extreme cold, known as the "Extreme Cold Purgatory", but with the control of the battle suits, they also quickly adapted to the environment around them, and went deep underground along the cracks like a large steep slope, like a group of small insects burrowing in the ground.
"Be careful, everyone, this section of the road down there is relatively steep, and after going down, it will be where the Immortal Legion is being held." As he spoke, the mage stretched out his hand to Gong Piqing, who turned around and grabbed Zhang Yuemei's hand, and entered the almost vertical crack with an almost climbing motion.
In an instant, there was a strange sense of oppression in the air, and the team members fell from the cracks one after another, and before they came to their senses, they saw that they seemed to have come to a huge circular cell, they were shocked, and subconsciously thought that they had fallen into the trap of the enemy, but when they looked closely, they realized that they were actually on the outside of those prison doors.
A circle of cells encloses the circular open space of the central 7 center, and the doors of these cells are all wide open, and it seems that someone has deliberately released the prisoners inside, and the circular open space under their feet is obviously not simple, because it is like an execution ground with all kinds of shackles and shackles! This is true on the walls, on the floor, and even on the ceiling!
"This is where the Immortal Legion is held, and although they are a group of ghostly disembodied beings, these shackles and shackles can really bind them, and the night before we received the news, the messengers of the palace came here to find their leader, and the next day they were all released, leaving only these shackles that have been opened."
Gong Piqing and the team members all looked at the altar-like circular cell at their feet, and everyone felt as if they had been chosen as a sacrifice for a dark ritual in the Middle Ages, because the ground and ceiling of this huge circular cell were carved with various mysterious symbols, and standing here made it feel like standing on a huge altar.
"It's easy to get to your destination this way, but are we going to take all these shackles or anything with us?" One of the team members said as he looked at the shackles that looked like they were made of black iron.
Gong Piqing's mind immediately had a picture, the ten of them carried heavy shackles and shackles and walked towards the palace of the Extremely Cold Country, and encountered the attack of the Immortal Legion on the way, and then he stood up heroically as the captain and shouted to the Immortal Legion, "I am the World Tree, I am the nightmare in your heart, you had better obediently tie your hands and arrest it, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind to you!" ”
After saying this, he was about to run over and put these shackles on the undead one by one, so that they could pass the test without a hitch, and then march all the way to the palace......
But this time he didn't indulge in these conjectures of his own complacency, just like he used to think that he was a great cosmic warrior in Xiguan Renai Mental Hospital all day long, if he said all this, it would only make everyone think that he was a boundless psychopath.
So he swallowed these words, since his personality was about to disappear, he might as well leave some good impressions on the team......
"Aren't there some weapons that can suppress 7 to hold them down? We don't really want to go out with these chains......" Zhang Yuemei said, leaning over to the side and kicking one of the chains, only to find that these seemingly ordinary black chains are really not simple, they are engraved with mysterious symbols similar to those on the ground, and in some places they even directly adopt a hollow design, making these torture instruments as precise as works of art.
"There are special torture tools to deal with them, but I don't know where they are placed, this is just a place where they are held, not an execution ground, if a prisoner makes a mistake, he will be taken to the corresponding execution ground to be punished, different types of prisoners are in different execution grounds, I don't know where the relevant execution ground and torture equipment room corresponding to the Immortal Legion are, do you know?" The mage said, looking back at his other companions.
The other prisoners shook their heads one after another, leaving Gong Piqing and his party here confused, saying that you brought us here all the way, and now you have come again and don't know anything, and now we only know that these iron chains can cause substantial damage to the undead in the Immortal Legion, is it possible, do we really want to remove these iron chains and shackles from the wall and the ground and carry them on our backs?
During this period, Gong Piqing and his team members carefully checked the environment around them, there were a total of more than a dozen cells in this circular area where they were located, and those smaller cells were designed around the edge of this huge altar-shaped cell, as if the original intention of the designer was to let the prisoners in these cells play a certain role in surveillance, and the largest circular area in the middle was the place where the Immortal Legion was held, judging from the number of torture instruments in it, There are about thirty or so undead in the Immortal Legion, but this is only their speculation, for example, if there are undead with three heads and six arms, and it is difficult to judge the number of undead who need many shackles and shackles to bind them.
And there is only one corridor in this huge circular space that is connected to the outside world, and the internal structure of the corridor is similar to the corridor that Gong Piqing saw in the training, but there is a slight difference in the interior, and the other thing is that there are lights inside after he entered the Extreme Cold Prison in training, but the "lights" inside are also some ore-like things with luminous ability, but after Gong Piqing and the others entered here, they did not find any light source from inside, It's as if the prisoners have been living in a dark-lit environment all along.
"Dear World Tree, for the sake of our familiarity with the terrain here, why don't we help you find the location of the torture chamber first, and then we will come back and call you over when we find it, and you can wait here for a while, okay?" One of the team members translated the mage's words to Gong Piqing, and a trace of suspicion appeared on Gong Piqing's face, and the faces of the other team members were not very good-looking.
This feeling of being deceived is really unpleasant, just like a person looking for a job who sees that the recruitment brochure is very good, what do you want when you really enter the company, only to find out that those are all fake and the real face of the 7 company is an unscrupulous enterprise that relies on squeezing employees, but the team members are far more vigilant about this matter than being deceived, they just heard this guy talk about the so-called "Immortal Legion" on the shore, but they don't know if the Immortal Legion really exists, And even their mission guide doesn't even have the word Immortal Legion on it, so is it possible that everything they're going through now is a game?
The mage seemed to be able to read people's minds, and when he saw the team members hesitating, he showed a helpless smile again, "Please believe me, if you are not at ease, I can take you to find it, even if you really don't find it in the end or you don't want to find it, I will send you out again, and it is a good thing that we will say goodbye, because since we embarked on this road together, we have also become wanted in the Demon Realm, and I think we don't have much time." ”
After the mage finished speaking, the team members looked at each other, and finally everyone's eyes fell on Gong Piqing, and everyone left the final say to Gong Piqing......
