Chapter 55: The Prisoner on the Last Floor
They continued to climb upwards, and the higher they went, the more depressed they became. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When they reached the seventeenth floor, it was no longer a skeleton that was locked, but a dried corpse that they had never seen before. And this dried corpse is no longer a humanoid creature, but a fierce beast three feet high.
Even if he loses his former majesty, it still makes people's hearts palpitate when they see this dried corpse. The limbs with the hooves of the horse, the body like a canine and the head of a lion speak of its fierceness in life.
"What kind of beast is this?" Mu Chen looked at it in surprise, even though he knew that it was already dead, there was still a trace of awe in his heart.
Su Yun shook her head, and she didn't know what this beast was. The Northern Regions are barren, and it is difficult for creatures of this level to appear. Perhaps it was precisely because of the barrenness and lack of spiritual energy that the person who built the tower chose to build the Demon Suppression Tower in this place.
Mu Chen didn't touch the beast again in the end, they still found nothing as always, and after hesitating for a moment, they continued to walk upward.
From the bottom up, this should be the last floor of the Demon Suppression Tower. Their mood suddenly became apprehensive, and they didn't know what was being suppressed at the last level.
Judging from all kinds of indications, the higher you go, the more intact the suppressed creatures are, and I don't know if it's because of time or because of different cultivations. Mu Chen intuitively believed that the latter would be more likely than the former.
Step by step, they went up, and after a few moments, they came to this last level, which was the very top of this demon suppression tower.
As soon as they reached the door, a prisoner with a disheveled hair appeared in front of them, and because of his long hair, he could not see his face clearly, and he could not tell how bad the prisoner's body was.
In terms of size, this should be a Terran. But whether it is an ordinary human race or an alien, without a closer look, it is impossible to judge. There were also many strange runes pasted on his body, these runes were very obscure, at least Mu Chen and the others had not seen them before.
The entire top floor was empty, and there was nothing but this prisoner. Mu Chen was a little discouraged, he was still full of expectations, fantasizing that there must be a rare treasure on the last layer, but there was nothing but this prisoner.
The two of them let out a sigh of relief, and finally came to this last layer, and the depressed mood was gone. Mu Chen smiled at Su Yun and slowly walked towards the prisoner.
Now that he has entered the Demon Suppression Tower, he is really unwilling to return empty-handed. The prisoner's clothes were still intact, and he didn't know if there would be a treasure hiding on the prisoner's body, and if he didn't search it, he wouldn't be at ease.
Seeing these densely pasted runes, Mu Chen always felt a little familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere, but these runes were old for a long time, and obviously had little to do with him, so he subconsciously ignored them.
Su Yun stepped forward, instinctively afraid of the prisoner. She hadn't touched a single prisoner before, but at this moment, the fear gave her courage. She stretched out her jade hand and touched the prisoner.
Bang...
As soon as she touched the prisoner, a huge rebound force came at her, and like a kite with a broken string, she soared into the air, slammed into the wall, and fell to the ground with a thud.
Mu Chen looked at her in amazement, not knowing what was going on. He hurriedly stepped forward and helped Su Yun who fell to the ground up, only to see that her face was pale, as if she had been hit hard, and even her breathing stopped temporarily.
"Are you alright?" asked Mu Chen worriedly.
It startled Mu Chen just now, but looking at Su Yun's expression, it should have been shocked, and it was caused by excessive fright, so it was no big deal.
Su Yun shook her head, signaling that she was fine, but she was speechless for a while. After being helped up by Mu Chen, she immediately sat down to exercise her pranayama and calm her mind.
The force that attacked her just now, she didn't know if it was the power of the runes or the power of the prisoner, she only felt like an electric current was attacking her. And that force is extremely powerful, she has no resistance at all, and even she feels that even if she succeeds in building the foundation, she may not be able to resist the backlash of this force.
After making sure that Su Yun was fine, Mu Chen was curious about the mysterious power and cautiously walked in front of the prisoner.
Because his long hair was hidden, he couldn't see his face clearly at all, so Mu Chen could only half-squat on the ground and tilt his head to look.
After observing for a moment, he stretched out his finger and approached the prisoner very slowly. His fingers approached, but he hesitated, afraid that he would be the same as Su Yun.
His fingers stayed in mid-air, and for a moment he was in a complicated mood. He was afraid of accidents, but he was eager to try to touch it.
"Die, die, she was fine just now, and I should be fine!" Mu Chen cheered himself up a little nervously, his finger was close to the prisoner's shoulder, and after poking it, he quickly retracted it.
"Uh..." Mu Chen's eyes widened in surprise, when he touched it just now, there was no accident, and he didn't even feel a trace of rebound, which made him very strange.
With one experience, he became a little more bold, and tried to poke several times in a row, but there were still no accidents.
He finally relieved himself, looked back at Su Yun in surprise, and then stared at the prisoner in front of him, wondering in his heart: Why is it okay if I touch it, and if she comes, there will be something, could it be that this force is still divided into men and women?
The more he thought about it, the more Mu Chen felt that this was the case. This power must have a spirit, conquered by its own pure yang energy. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth involuntarily showed a smug smile.
He looked at the rune, pulled it off, and looked at it carefully, only then did he realize that the rune drawn on it was very similar to the set of formations in his body. Then he counted exactly thirty-six runes that had been attached to the prisoner.
He tore a few more from the prisoner's body, and the more he looked at it, the more it felt similar to the runes in his body. Seeing that Su Yun opened his eyes from pranayama, he immediately walked over with a smile and said, "Look, is this a little familiar!"
He handed the rune to Su Yun, but Su Yun didn't take a second look, but stared behind him in horror, his whole body cold hair upside down.
Mu Chen followed her gaze and looked back, but saw that the prisoner, who was originally motionless, actually moved!
Although his movements were very slow, not as large as the movements of a turtle, he did move, and he was still trying to raise his head, as if he wanted to look at Mu Chen and the others.
"Hey, this one is actually alive!" Mu Chen said in surprise after seeing this scene.
He stepped forward, ignoring the three-seven-twenty-one, and tore off all the runes from the prisoner's body and threw them aside, lifting his head up.
I saw that this person's face was yellow and thin, his sloppy beard had not been taken care of for a long time, and it had condensed into a ball, and his breath was so weak that it was almost impossible to feel.
Mu Chen saw that his chapped lips moved, and suddenly smiled, took out the half pot of water from his back, and carefully fed it.
"What are you doing?" While Mu Chen was feeding the water, Su Yun woke up from her fright, and immediately rushed forward and snatched Mu Chen's kettle.
When Mu Chen looked at her puzzled, she said angrily: "Do you know who he is, none of the people who can be suppressed by the Demon Suppression Tower are ordinary people! If you save him now, no one knows what will happen!"
According to the records in the books, the suppression in the Demon Suppression Tower is all some extremely vicious demons, and any one of them can be a cholera party. If Mu Chen rescued this demon, I don't know how much chaos it would bring.
"He's just a dying old man, even if he used to be very powerful, but look at the way he looks now, what else can he do?"
Before coming in, Mu Chen had heard Su Yun talk about the situation of the Demon Suppression Tower, but when he saw this sloppy old man with his own eyes, he felt extremely kind, just like the old beggars he met when he was a beggar.
