Chapter 45: The Prison Escape War (7)
"So, what are you telling us about this?"
Xu Zhige raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want me to cut you off and end the rest of your life that is worse than death?"
"Hey, even if it's a joke, you're a pretty bad joke!" the Black Tree exclaimed dissatisfiedly, "Was your first reaction to a passerby who alerted you for a well-intentioned purpose?"
"Oh, do you mean that you didn't have any purpose in stopping us at all, just that you didn't want to see us deceived?" Xu Zhige sneered.
"Hey, of course it's more than that. The Black Tree Man smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, I want to ask you for a favor!"
Chu Yun asked, "Help, what help?"
"Help us undo the old monster's sorcery, and let's turn back into humans!" said the Black Tree Man, with a hideous look on his face, and roared, "I've had enough of these days of swallowing clouds and spitting fog every day. The purpose of the old monster is to make me worse than death, I can't do it even if I want to cut myself off, and I am not willing to die like this, I want revenge! I want to turn back into a human being, and I want to make the old monster pay the price!"
"What does this have to do with us?" asked Han Ling.
"Hehe, of course it matters!" The tree-faced man smiled: "If my guess is correct, you should be here for the first time, right?hahaha, the rookie who was deceived into the trap and didn't know it, you were sent to the door as a dish for the old monster, if we hadn't reminded you, you would have been pulled away by the black dog just now!"
"Oh, so what?"
"I'll tell you honestly, you've fallen into the eyes of the old monster since you came in from here. Later, the black dog will lead you to the old monster. Then, the old monster will start acting, pretending that the camp is in an emergency, and let you help. Well, you don't have to be afraid. There won't be any danger, because most of the people who come to commit crimes are old monsters, and you can pass the test as long as you show a little bit, and then, the old monster will pretend to suspect you, and will give you a few tests, haha, don't worry about this one, because his topic can even fool a three-year-old child, and then it's the main event, the old monster will pretend to be impressed by you, and then he will take out a glass of water and wine and invite you to drink. Don't drink it! That's what we poured on top of this glass of wine in the first place! What was in the cup wasn't any wine at all, but the bitter water of the Shenwei Hell! As long as you took a sip, your belly would be burst! No matter what kind of cultivation you have, it's useless!"
"So powerful?" Han Ling was taken aback.
"Awesome, hehe, hey, it's nothing!" the Black Tree Man sneered, "Drinking the bitter water is just to ask you to submit, the real purpose of the old monster is ......"
Rustle!
Before the Black Tree Man could finish his words, there was a sound of walking next to him, and the two Tree Men immediately disappeared without a trace after noticing it.
"Why are you still here?"
The voice of dissatisfaction sounded from the black mist, and the black-clothed masked man pushed through the clouds and walked out, staring at Xu Zhige and the three of them with a pair of green eyes, "This is not a place for you to do games and sightseeing, if you can't keep up, don't blame me for leaving you all here!"
After angrily reprimanding the three of them, the man in black waved his hand again and said, "Come with me, the elder wants to see you!"
Chu Yun chuckled in his heart and looked at Xu Zhige, but saw Xu Zhige shaking his head slightly.
The three of them, led by the man in black, made their way through the sea of sulfur clouds to a huge treehouse.
"Wait here, I'll report to the elders first!" the man in black said, turning into a puff of black smoke and drifting in through the window of the treehouse.
"Why don't you go through the window if you don't go through the door?" Han Ling was a little confused.
"Pigeon, can you believe what you say about those tree spirits?" Chu Yun asked in a low voice.
Xu Zhige shook his head, "I don't know, but it's not credible, just look at it later." ”
As he spoke, black smoke once again drifted out of the window and turned into a human form in front of Xu Zhige and the others, "Go in, the elder has agreed to meet you." By the way, I would like to remind you that the elder is a very old-fashioned person, so you must pay attention to your etiquette!
After the man in black finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared and disappeared.
Chu Yun was unhappy for a while, "Cut! It seems like we are begging to see him." ”
"Don't say anything, let's go inside. ”
In front of the huge treehouse, Xu Zhige pushed the door and entered.
The first thing that catches your eye is a huge tree chair, the whole tree house is empty, there is nothing but a chair, not even candles or other lighting, and the only source of light is a little light from the window.
Xu Zhige thought for a while, stepped forward, and arched his hand at the empty chair: "Junior Xu Zhige, I have seen the old-timers. ”
Han Ling and Chu Yun glanced at each other, and then stepped forward to say hello.
After a while, an old and wise voice rang out in the empty house, "I haven't seen you for a long time, pure blooded humans, I don't know why you came here, but I want to say that you are welcome to join us." ”
On the huge tree chair, there was a sound, intertwined, the branches shook and the leaves fell, and the trees gradually transformed into the image of a wise old man, from nothing, gradually clear, and finally formed, sitting on the tree chair with grace, smiling kindly at Xu Zhige and the three of them.
The transformation of the old tree man is much more powerful than the previous two tree people who only have one face, not only the facial features, but also the torso, limbs, and even the clothes and canes are completely embodied, and even the skin like human skin can be seen on the body. If it weren't for seeing him emerge from the tree, no one would have imagined that this old man would be the embodiment of a giant tree.
"Excellent young human beings, I haven't seen them for a long time, is it a hundred years or two hundred years? The old tree man laughed and said, "Prisoners like us are like us in this place, even time seems to be our enemy. ”
"Senior, I don't know what this Shenwei Sea Prison says?"
finally met a person who seemed to be able to collect information, Xu Zhige immediately seized the opportunity and asked all the questions he wanted to raise.
"As you can see, this is a prison, and we are a wretched bunch of prisoners. The old tree man said this without sorrow or joy, and seemed to not mind his status as a prisoner at all, "This place has appeared since the gods opened up the Three Realms, but compared to the rich and rich Three Realms, this place is too barren, so this place has become a place to banish the degenerate. ”
Han Ling suddenly interjected and asked, "But...... I think the people here seem to be quite free...... "Even prisoners can rebel, and it would be really a lie to say that they are not free."
"Hahaha, is it free? is precisely the greatest irony of this place!" the old tree man looked up to the sky and laughed, "Shenwei Sea Prison is different from ordinary prisons. God's punishment for the Fall is cruel!"
"The greedy will have nothing, the fearful will beg for death, the gluttonous will not be able to eat, the tyrannical will suffer from it, and the arrogant will trample on the ......," the old tree man's tone was unwavering, "What you are bent on pursuing may become a nightmare that you will never end in this life, and this is God's punishment for depravity." It is also the ultimate punishment. ”
It sounds serious......
Xu Zhige was silent for a while, then continued to ask: "But as far as I know, the Fallen seem to be divided into several factions, how are these divided, and what is the point?"
"Matuidi, Dybala, and Dalyan were the first to be banished to the Shenwei Hell, and in today's terms, the three of them are the original gods of the Fallen! And the three of them happen to have different views on the Fall, so when the exiled Fallens come to the Shenwei Prison, they will always consciously huddle together according to the rules left by the three of them. ”
"I see, it's the same as worshipping the pier. Chu Yun nodded and said.
"Yes, so to speak, and not only the Fallen, but also the people of the Order camp. The old tree man sighed: "Isn't it strange? A group of degenerate people who advocate freedom go to the prison but pursue order, and a group of defenders of order go to the prison but instead have factional filth. What a wonderful irony!"
"So, the last question, you seem to have a big plan, can you say it and let us know?" Xu Zhige's eyes flashed, and he stared at the old tree man and asked.
"Although we can't do everything we can say to others like a gentleman!But we can still trust our companions, of course, first you have to prove that you are indeed our companions! Shenwei Hai Hell does not respect promises, does not pay attention to credibility, we will only admit the transaction, what are you going to use to convince us that you are indeed a degenerate?" a sly smile appeared on the old face of the old tree man.
"Do you want to give a name?" said Xu Zhige.
"Don't bother so much!" the old tree man shook his head and said, "Frankly speaking, our camp is actually in a little trouble right now, as long as you can help us solve the problem, then we can admit that you are companions." ”
Is it coming?
Chu Yun's heart jumped, remembering what the Black Tree Man had said before, and then thinking of the old Tree Man at this moment, an uneasy premonition began to spread in his heart.
"I don't know what is more troublesome?" Xu Zhige asked with a smile: "If you don't dislike it, then the juniors are willing to share the worries of the seniors." ”
