The array master used arrays neatly to completely control the jailer. Under the cover of the high-pitched singing of 25,000, he put several layers of defense-reducing arrays on the jailer and killed him in just over ten seconds. He took the key from the Fiery Heart Tiger's mouth, unlocked it and entered the cell.
Along the way, most of the cells on the road were ordinary cells. For example, the cell just now with a capacity of 25,000 only had a simple iron cage and a jailer. The cell in the reliable one was obviously sunken, filled with a pool of water, and there was only an iron cage in the middle.
The water in the pool was above the knees and was still dripping from the top. Su Mo was almost half soaked. He was very surprised when he saw Yu Zhen. Before he could ask, he saw the formation master jump down from the edge of the pool and wade through the water to his side.
Erwanwu: "Brother, why did you pass by me? Did you miss me?"
Yu Zhen said in a cold voice: "Keep singing, don't stop."
Twenty-five thousand: "???"
Apple: "Don't think about it, he won't save you."
Qingfeng: "It's easy to tell who is higher or lower in status."
Watermelon: “Learn to get used to it.”
"You have to save him first." Ta Yunzhong said at the right time: "In this environment, saving him first is more effective than saving yourself first. Command, the summoner has more control, you can only heal."
Inside the water dungeon, Yu Zhen's eyes deepened as he pulled the iron chain on the cage, "How many locks are there?"
"Two at the prison door." Su Mo slightly side-glanced at the place where his hands were hung, "There are two more on my hands."
"Wait." Yu Zhen first unlocked the iron cage, grabbed the railing and jumped up, directly jumping to the top of the cage. The two chains on the top were very tight, and the keyhole was also wrapped with layers of chains. Yu Zhen tried, "Close your eyes."
Su Mo paused for a moment, and when he closed his eyes, he heard the sound of a sharp blade sliding past, followed by a muffled sound, and the chain and the padlock fell directly into the water. The restraining force was instantly removed, and Su Mo slid down and almost knelt in the water. At the critical moment, Yu Zhen reached out and grabbed his wrist, preventing him from falling in.
"Brother." Su Mo raised his head slightly.
"Stand firm." Yu Zhen reminded.
The Fierce Heart Tiger picked up Su Mo's lamp stick from the wall and placed it in front of him. After Su Mo stood firmly, the force from above was released. The formation master jumped off the cage, landed on the high platform next to it, and took two handy props from the wall of the cell.
"The path inside the iron prison is very complicated. I almost walked along the road and finally saw you here." Yu Zhen explained: "This is a small door. There are five cells inside the small door. There are three people locked up, you, Xiaoer and Hong Guoguo."
Su Mo flexed his wrist and said, "It's very likely in another direction."
At this moment, there was another sound outside the door. The sound of fireworks was getting closer and closer. The next moment, he ran into the small door, and the booming sound was instantly transmitted here. Erwanwu, who had resigned himself to singing, stopped singing instantly, staring at the lively scene outside with wide eyes, "Damn, you pulled so many fireworks!?"
"Ah? Are you here?" Huoshuyinhua hurriedly entered a small door, followed by a group of jailers, at least thirty of them, who all rushed in in an instant.
Upon hearing the sound, Su Mo immediately knocked the dead jailer monster next to him into the pool. When he was about to find a shelter to hide, Yu Zhen grabbed him and, with a burst of force, he leaped up and jumped onto the small beam above the cell.
The judge's pen was stuck horizontally on top, hanging steadily with the weight of two people. Su Mo's waist was held by someone, and almost all of his strength was pressed on Yu Zhen.
"Don't move." A voice came from above.
Su Mo didn't move. He glanced sideways to notice the man's strong and powerful arms. He seemed to hear his own heartbeat suddenly speeding up.
At this time, the sound was closer.
Fire Tree and Silver Flower lost its retreat and was eaten by more than thirty nets under the watchful eyes of Su Mo and others. The attack ability of the jailer monster was very strong, and Fire Tree and Silver Flower was killed almost in an instant.
[Wind and Rain Together·Iron Prison Mechanism] Player Huoshuyinhua died, triggering the event [Dangerous], opening the iron prison walkway mechanism. I wish you all good luck.
"Dead?"
"Dead."
"Let them drag him away soon. Go back and look after the other prisoners."
"There's a man who escaped from the dungeon. Increase the patrols and bring him back immediately."
The jailers and other small monsters were talking outside the cell door, and one of them ran into the water cell where Su Mo was to check the situation. Su Mo was silent, with someone holding him tightly around his waist, and the voices were noisy.
"Death trigger mechanism!?" Apple said: "The moment Huoshu dies, he immediately starts to show his evil side!"
Ta Yunzhong frowned slightly: "The prison is full of traps and the patrols have been strengthened. It will be even harder for us to hide. We have to find a place to escape."
Huo Shu Yin Hua was lying on the cold floor, and two jailers were putting sacks on him. "I could have escaped just now, but unfortunately I went to the wrong place! I didn't know which door to choose to enter, and I ended up entering a dead end door."
He asked again: "What should I do? They are putting a sack around me. Are they going to drag me to some strange place?"
The fireworks were put into a sack, and the jailer in the 25,000-yuan cell leaned against the door and watched: "Hurry up, it's bad luck to stay here."
"I think the little monster in your room is very arrogant." Huoshuyinhua said.
Erwanwu: "Not only is it arrogant, it just threatened me with a whip and stopped me from singing."
The other members of the team couldn't see the situation, so they asked in the cloud: "What's the situation now?"
Huo Shu Yin Hua: "I'm about to be dragged away, is there anyone who can save me?"
Erwanwu: "I also want someone to save me..."
At this time, the two people on the top of the water prison looked at each other. At the moment of falling, the formation master released the formation, and the summoner's summoned beasts responded. Su Mo immediately controlled the jailer at the door of the 25,000 cell, and the summoned beasts followed one after another, leaving them no time to ask for help.
After Su Mo controlled the jailer at the prison door, he turned around to help Yu Zhen focus his fire to kill the jailer in the sack. The two cooperated well and completed a perfect kill with almost no communication.
"Here are the keys." Su Mo took two keys from the wall of the cell door and threw them to Yinai Erwanwu, then turned around and went to another cell to see Hong Guoguo.
There are several cells here, holding Yinai Erwanwu, Hong Guoguo and him.
Erwanwu was still able to call, but Hong Guoguo fell into a coma from the beginning. Su Mo asked Lingxintu to steal the key and open the door, then entered and rescued Hong Guoguo.
"What's going on?" Erwanwan rushed over after resurrecting the Fire Tree and Silver Flower.
"Unconscious state, will be resolved in 15 minutes after rescue." Su Mo saw the negative state on Hong Guoguo, "It will take another 15 minutes for her to wake up."
After a period of chaos, 15 people were barely able to gather 5, and 1 of them fell into a coma. Su Mo searched other places in the cage, but couldn't find anyone else, so he probably was somewhere else.
Ta Yunzhong was still trapped. "You are the main force now. Even if you encounter the police, you should be able to hold out for a while. The rest is to wait and find the location of the other few people. The most important thing is to find Zhi Ge. She has a map. I guess we need to get the map before we can escape from this place."
After Huo Shu Yin Hua was resurrected, he went out to try again and said, "The road outside has become more difficult to walk on. When I went out just now, I just couldn't touch the wall. Now, when I get close, they spit fire and shoot arrows. The whole aisle has become difficult."
"It's easy to test the mechanism. Letting the summoned beasts test it gives us a chance to make mistakes, and we have two healers here." Su Mo re-evaluated the situation. "In fact, the main difficulty of this level should be finding people. In addition, the mechanisms outside reduce health, and the jailers capture people, which makes it more difficult for us to find people. Without treatment, the mechanisms outside will become fatal losses."
Ta Yunzhong: "Yes, your team configuration is better now, but we can't have any more unnecessary casualties. The good or bad of the death event is unknown, so it's best not to trigger it."
Without treatment, their progress would become cautious, and they might even run out of red potions due to blood loss caused by the mechanism, or be captured by the jailers due to their slow movements.
However, if there are two healers and two summoners, testing the mechanisms in the aisle becomes easier. If it's just about damage, they can just force their way in without any problem.
"I think the jailer can be killed, but the jailer who beats the gong must be killed first." Huo Shu Yin Hua recalled: "I didn't encounter that many monsters at the beginning, but when the one who beats the gong came, the monsters on the road became more and more."
Yu Zhen said: "That might be a mechanical monster. Once it is triggered, it will attract more monsters."
Su Mo added: "To put it simply, there are three mechanisms: the corridor mechanism that reduces blood loss, the prison guards patrolling and arresting people and killing people, and random death events."
15 minutes is a long time, so Huoshuyinhua and Sumo went out to test the mechanism when there were no patrolmen in the corridor. They felt relieved after confirming that the mechanism was strong enough to force their way through.
Su Mo also gradually understood the rules of this iron prison. In fact, the difficulty should not be that high at the beginning, but if the jailers were killed in a chaotic or disorganized manner, it would likely cause deaths or attract more jailers, leading to team failure.
Soon, Hong Guoguo woke up. After waking up, he was confused and didn't know what was going on. It was only after others explained it to him that he realized he had been paddling for nearly half an hour.
"I didn't feel anything. The main brain left me in another space to play Landlord, saying that I was unconscious and needed to be rescued." Hong Guoguo said, "Then I played cards until just now, and suddenly it told me that I failed and my money would be deducted, so I came here."
He sighed, "I finished the game two minutes late and lost 30 gold."
Others: “…”
A group of five people got ready to set off. The mechanisms in the corridor had just been figured out by Huoshuyinhua. The mechanisms operated in a regular pattern, and they could avoid some conventional routines. Even if there were unpredictable situations, the summoned beasts would lose blood first, and then they would be healed, so it was not difficult to move.
On the other side, the old Taoist who had just escaped suffered a lot. He was alone, the traps were dangerous, and there were jailers patrolling. The only lucky thing was that he took a dose of medicine before using the skill and did not trigger the death event. In the end, he entered the cage with low blood and experienced life behind bars again, with an extra jailer monster guarding him.
Lao Dao doesn’t understand love: “I’m holding you back. This is the only thing I can do for you guys.”
Erwanwu: "It doesn't matter. If you don't die, you will be a great hero."
Without a map, the Iron Prison map becomes very difficult to navigate. It looks simple, but is actually very complicated.
First of all, it is not an ordinary fork in the road, but is divided into several areas. The walkways in each area are complex and look extremely similar. Unless you go in to confirm, there is no way to tell whether you have been to this area before.
During the period, they encountered several patrolling jailers. Fortunately, several DPS reacted quickly and controlled and killed them in the first place, so they did not attract more jailers. But after the first appearance, the probability of them encountering jailers gradually increased. Silently, this road seemed to become more and more difficult to walk.
Erwanwu said: "It is indeed difficult to travel without a map. If we continue like this, we will probably run into more monsters."
There was nothing Tayunzhong and the others could do. Before their teammates found them, they could not provide assistance. The only thing they could do was to warn their teammates when they were nearby so that they could better distinguish their positions.
However, before they could think of other useful methods, the five-member team had made new progress -
The commander is drawing a map.
"Have you written it down?" Yu Zhen turned his head to look at Su Mo.
"Almost. Remember this area." Su Mo used the game's built-in drawing board to recall the locations based on his memory and drew them.
When finishing the area, Su Mo frowned slightly, feeling a bit strange, "There is a deviation in one position, maybe something went wrong..."
He rubbed his brows and said, "Maybe I have to go through it again. The direction of the left fork of the archery mechanism road is a bit blurry."
Yu Zhen was silent for a while, "It should be the 2 o'clock direction of the water dungeon."
Su Mo paused, his eyes fixed on Yu Zhen's face.
Yu Zhen added: "Try and see if you can match them."
Su Mo lowered his head and continued to draw the location of the archery mechanism road. After adding it, his sense of weirdness became even deeper. The road was repeated. He pondered for a while, turned the map over, and suddenly realized it.
Since it was an iron prison with mechanisms, the first thing he should have considered when he got lost was the mechanisms rather than the maze.
This was not a maze, but a mechanism at a fork in the road that flipped over. He thought they were moving forward, but in fact they were going back in a circle.
Su Mo sorted out his thoughts and was about to explain the road problem to his teammates, but when he looked up he suddenly met Yu Zhen's gaze and for a moment he forgot what he wanted to say.
Yu Zhen's eyes were deep, and he asked in a gentle voice, "Is there a solution?"
Su Mo came back to his senses, slightly turned his head to avoid Yu Zhen's gaze, and said simply: "It's a problem with the organization."
Hong Guoguo ran over: "What do you mean?"
Fire Tree and Silver Flower: "Do you know the way?!"
"I know." Su Mo shared the map he had drawn in the team channel: "The map of this area has the locations of the mechanisms marked. Some roads need to go in the opposite direction, otherwise we will keep going in circles here."
Yi Nai Er Wan Wu was secretly frightened. While they were rushing around looking for someone, the commander had already recorded the route and direction, and drew a flat map based on his memory.
"This is too awesome..." He had just finished his sigh when the voice of the main brain suddenly appeared in his ears.
[Wind and Rain Together·Iron Prison with Trap] The player Milk and Bitter Melon died, triggering the event [Great Disaster], in which the defense capabilities of all players decreased by 5% and lasted for 30 minutes.
After a while, a message popped up:
[Wind and Rain Together·Iron Prison with Trap] The player Hao Da Xigua dies, triggering the event [Extremely Fierce], which opens the special gameplay of the Iron Prison with Trap [Death Patrol].
Su Mo: “… ?”
Others: “????”
"Why the hell did you two die?!"
"Whatever happened, I took a nap."
"Two in a row!?"
"How come the situation suddenly changed, and I'm still in the dark room."
Two death reports appeared in succession, and the other members of the team were surprised. But before they could ask about the situation of their dead teammates, a golden system reminder appeared in front of everyone.
Server-wide announcement: Endless wind and rain, with you on the journey. What a great watermelon! In the adventure [Wind and Rain Together·Iron Prison], the rare death event [Extremely Fierce] was accidentally triggered by the teammate, and the hidden gameplay [Death Patrolman] of the [Wind and Rain Together] event was opened. The difficulty challenge level is ★★★★★★.
Please note that all players, the mission objective has been corrected: kill the Death Patrolman and leave the iron cage.
The team channel was completely silent, and everyone didn't know what emotion they should express for a moment, whether it was the joy of triggering a special gameplay, or the sadness of being forced to increase the difficulty.
Until another voice broke the silence.
Dead Watermelon spoke up at this time: "This is the first time I've posted a server-wide announcement like this."
The author has something to say: Teammates: Well, it’s so golden, and it only has your name on it.
watermelon:…
