Volume 1 Dragon and Tiger Mountain Quest Chapter 1 Lake Bottom Prison
In the mountainous area of southern China, there is a city covered by a huge formation, and the people there do not use ordinary means of transportation, but some flying magic weapons such as flying swords and giant gourds, just like the legendary immortals.
In the northern part of the city, in an inaccessible area surrounded by primeval forests, there is a huge natural lake covering an area of 2,579.2 square kilometers.
Legend has it that five hundred years ago, there was a powerful immortal cultivator who passed by this place and killed a dragon here, and the dragon's body sank into the ground and turned into this lake, hence the name Luojiao Lake.
In the middle of Luojiao Lake, a magnificent building made of steel mixed with peerless materials towers, like a steel giant lying in the center of the lake.
But no matter who it is, as long as you are here, no one would have thought that such a large building would actually be a prison, a demon suppression prison used to hold demons!
Of course, the building that people see with the naked eye is only the tip of the iceberg that the prison reveals, and the real prison is actually built underneath it.
The whole prison is funnel-shaped, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, extending downward, and the bottom of the prison almost touches the bottom of the lake, like a deformed needle of the sea god.
Through the three-meter-thick prison walls, a disgusting musty smell permeated the dark and damp iron prison, as if it had been rotting for years.
In one of the cells at the bottom of the Iron Prison, a thin figure curled up in the corner, and a drop of cold, biting water seeped out of the crack in the ceiling and fell on the man's face, and he suddenly shuddered and woke up.
"It's cold. The thin figure sat up slowly, yawning lazily.
This man's face was as pale as snow, thin and worrisome, like a person who had just recovered from a serious illness, but his eyes revealed a kind of indifference that had gone through endless years, as if nothing could arouse his interest.
He wiped the corners of his mouth, and stroked the bangs that were full of eyebrows with his hand, revealing the incomparably delicate facial features hidden under the dense black hair, which turned out to be a young man in his early twenties.
"Ahh
"This is the Hudi Prison, and the people who are being imprisoned here are all evil and monstrous demons, seeing that you are young, white and tender, you can't be sent to the wrong place, right?" A hoarse voice came from the opposite corner of the young man.
Hearing that there were other people there, the young man suddenly frowned, revealing a tangled look, but quickly returned to normal, obviously very good at adjusting his emotions.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person. The diagonal figure shifted in the direction of the young man, peeking out of the shadows, before he explained.
The young man glanced at him, and through the dim light, he finally saw the figure in the corner, which was actually a thin old man with skinny skin, burnt skin, but white hair with a shawl, who was looking at him with a smile at this time.
The old man's legs were frighteningly thin, and he looked extremely unhealthy, and he seemed to be unable to stand up, so he only moved a few steps towards the young man with his hands supported, and coughed while moving back, and looked at his hard cough, which seemed to be in danger of falling at any time, which made people very worried.
"Heh, it's another stupid monster who wants to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. The young man thought silently, but then thought of the warden's resentful eyes that seemed to be eating people every time he faced him, he still sighed helplessly in his heart, pretended to be very surprised, and said, "Old man, you just said that this is the prison at the bottom of the lake, are you a prisoner?"
"Hey~ Don't talk nonsense, how can I be a prisoner?" The old man hurriedly waved his hand, making a rather innocent expression, and then asked rhetorically: "Aren't you also in this prison, are you also a prisoner?"
"That's right. The young man smiled perfunctorily, not showing much concern.
Who is this young man? In fact, even the young man himself could not answer this question, the only thing he knew was that he had been in this damned lake bottom prison for 500 years, and not only did he not die of old age, but he still looked like he was in his early twenties.
And he couldn't remember what happened 500 years ago, who he was before, why he was thrown into the lake prison? He didn't remember all this, anyway, when he woke up, he appeared in the lake prison.
But after 500 years, he finally remembered that he seemed to be called Li Yuan.
Having said that, the name Li Yuan is too ordinary, it doesn't look like the name of a hidden powerhouse or maybe some peerless demon king, just at this point, Li Yuan had to give up the idea of being reincarnated and reborn as a master.
"What is the old man's name!" Although he didn't really want to talk to the other party, in order to avoid the other party from making trouble for him, Li Yuan deliberately found a topic and asked.
"The old man is from the deep sea..."The old man blurted out, but then realized that something was wrong, pretended to cough, and then replied in a hoarse voice: "Ji Hong, my name is Ji Hong." ”
"Ji Hong... How did you take such an ordinary name like me? Li Yuan muttered quietly in a voice that only he could hear.
"What about the little brother? The old man smiled and asked as well.
"Li Yuan. Li Yuan replied lightly, and did not intend to hide anything.
The old man listened to his name, and vaguely felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had heard it somewhere.
"By the way, I've been holding back a doubt in my heart for the past few days, and I don't know whether to ask or not. The old man finally couldn't help it and asked.
Li Yuan's face sank when he heard this, and he thought that he really came, "You ask." Li Yuan replied in a deep voice, it was his hand that moved first, you can't wonder my helpless appearance.
"Although the prohibition of this lakebottom prison has shielded the aura, after these three days of observation, how come I haven't smelled a trace of demonic energy on you, right?" The old man stared at Li Yuan's eyes, and even the slightest flicker in the latter's eyes could never escape his observation.
"That's right, I'm human. Li Yuan sighed and replied helplessly, thinking that he should come or couldn't hide.
When the old man heard this, he immediately showed an expression that was really like this, of course, Li Yuan's answer still surprised him a little, thinking that Li Yuan would definitely deliberately lie and say that he was also a demon in order to survive, and find some high-sounding excuses for this, but that couldn't escape his eyes.
The old man who got a positive answer could no longer hide his greedy gaze, staring directly at Li Yuan, but also comforted: "Don't blame me, in this dark prison at the bottom of the lake, in order to maintain life, our demon clan can only do the minimum to conserve physical strength, but even so we are becoming weaker and weaker, but since God has sent you to me, it is the biggest waste if I want to let you go again." ”
I saw that the old man was talking, but his body suddenly became distorted, and the originally disabled legs suddenly grew and turned into two long tentacles, not only that, but his head turned into a hideous and terrifying, like a Medusa with countless tentacles.
"Deep Sea Demon Clan bloodline?" Looking at the monster in front of him, Li Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.
I remember that a year ago, when the prison guard changed his prison, he seemed to mention that a big demon with the blood of a deep-sea tentacle monster was imprisoned, and he was imprisoned in a cell at the bottom of this place, but he didn't expect to be bumped into by himself, I really don't know if it's my own luck or the other party's bad luck.
"Haha, you can even recognize the bloodline of the Deep Sea Demon Clan, which is so rare as the old man? As he spoke, the monster with countless tentacled heads pounced on Li Yuan.
"Hey, it was his hand that made the first move, Warden, you can't blame me..."Li Yuan's eyes moved slightly, but his body didn't move, as if he was ignoring the tentacle monster that pounced.
