It wasn't until the torture chamber on the entire long street was closed that Zhou Wen was forcibly teleported out and returned to the stone slab where he was before.
Zhou Wen, Liu Yun, and Chu He all looked at the stone slab under Zhou Wen's feet, only to see that the number on the slate had changed to 1369, that is to say, during the period when the punishment room was opened, Zhou Wen had obtained a total of 1369. More than a thousand steps, which is the same as the number Zhou Wen secretly wrote down.
"It turns out that this can really increase the number of steps." Zhou Wen felt relieved a lot. With the power of the Prison King, the problem of the number of steps was solved.
However, it cannot be completely relaxed. Although the Prison King's power can deter the torture chamber, it cannot compete with the rules of Huangquan City.
Zhou Wen took a step while maintaining the state of the Prison King's soul, and the number of steps below will still decrease, which shows that the rules of Huangquan City are still valid for him.
Now only the problem of the number of steps has been solved, the deadlock of the three iron laws of Huangquan City is still not untied, and he must find a way to leave as soon as possible.
"You... how did you do it?" Chuhe looked at Zhou Wen in surprise, he had never seen anyone tortured like Zhou Wen.
Liu Yun also wanted to know how Zhou Wen did it, this guy kept surprising him.
He originally thought that he was already doing well. Although he was not a member of the six major families, he possessed resources and techniques that the young geniuses of the six major families did not have.
But I didn't expect that Zhou Wen was even more exaggerated than him, with all kinds of good things and abilities, as if no matter what he encountered, he could solve it.
"It may be that my vitality formula has a restraining effect on the white kid in the punishment room." Zhou Wen said half-truthfully.
"Junior brother, you won't leave your lovely and kind senior brother alone?" Liu Yun was a little worried that Zhou Wen would just walk away after counting his steps.
"How can it be, I still count on you, brother, to take me to the endless star sea." Zhou Wen said.
"What the little brother said is, after we go out, I will take you to the endless star sea and help you get the star thief." Liu Yun paused, and then said: "But you can move around freely, but my steps Not enough, what can we do?"
"When the torture room reopens next time, you and I will choose the same torture room to be tortured. Then I will let the little white ghost take care of you, and naturally there will be steps." Zhou Wen said.
"Teacher really has vision. Junior brother, you are truly an amazing talent. In my opinion, apart from you, even if the six heroes are resurrected, they are not as beautiful as you, junior brother..." Liu Yun said flatteringly.
Zhou Wen didn't believe a single word of his words. People like him have the same heart and mouth. No one knows which of his words are true and which are false.
If he didn't want to go to the endless star sea, Zhou Wen really didn't want to stay with Liu Yun.
Although they are also Fang Mingyuan's students, perhaps because Liu Yun entered the society a few years earlier than them, it feels like they are not as trustworthy as Jiang Yan, Zhong Ziya, and Hui Haifeng.
Of course, it might also be the reason why Zhou Wen never got along with Liu Yun.
The three of them waited for another hour. After the bell rang again, the torture room opened again. Zhou Wen chose to enter the whipping room, and Liu Yun and Chu He also chose to be whipped.
The three people hung side by side in the whip room, and immediately three white little ghosts appeared, each with a cane whip, and they were about to beat them.
As soon as Zhou Wen's Prison King came out, the three white little ghosts immediately fell to their knees, trembling, as if Zhou Wen would eat them at any time.
So, the three of them sat side by side in the whipping room to be tortured. For the first time, Liu Yun experienced the feeling of being lifted high and gently falling down, and hummed comfortably: "Little brother, if I knew you had this ability, why would I bother?" Suffering from the thousand blows."
"I only found out after I entered the torture room." Zhou Wen said casually.
After the punishment room was closed, Zhou Wen's steps were close to three thousand, and Chu He and Liu Yun also had more than one thousand steps.
"As long as we do it again, our number of steps should be enough to reach the throne of the Underworld." Liu Yun said happily.
Zhou Wen was about to say something, but saw someone's body exploded on the long street, blood splashed all over the ground, and was quickly absorbed by the ground again.
"That man ran out of steps and couldn't stand the punishment, so he ended his own life." Chu He said with a sigh.
Zhou Wen found that there were several fewer people on the long street, and now there are only twenty-four people left. The missing ones probably died in the torture chamber.
The three continued to wait, while Zhou Wen was constantly training Yuying with the help of the forbidden power of Huangquan City.
The original jade baby looked cold, like a jade carving, and later turned into a crystal, but with the baptism of the taboo power, the jade baby gradually became softer, like a transparent jelly, as if the body had changed softened up.
"Are you about to break through?" Zhou Wen had a faint feeling that Yuying was really about to break through, only the last half step.
Another hour passed, and the three of them were tortured together again. When they came out, Zhou Wen's step count had broken four thousand, and the two of them were almost three thousand.
"This should be enough, let's go." Liu Yun was full of spirit, and took the lead to move forward.
Chuhe naturally followed them. Zhou Wen wanted to take Chuhe out, and then investigate whether it was really Chuhe.
Soon, Zhou Wen discovered some problems. Chuhe's combat level was very poor. He hadn't been promoted to the epic level yet, only the legendary level.
When encountering dimensional creatures on the road, Zhou Wen and Liu Yun helped him block them.
"Professor Chu, you don't seem to be good at fighting. How did you go so far when we didn't come?" Zhou Wen asked Chuhe suspiciously.
Chuhe thought for a while and said, "Before you came, I didn't seem to have stepped on a stone slab with a cause of death."
"Then Professor Chu, your luck is really good." Although Zhou Wen was a little skeptical, he couldn't think of any other possibility besides this explanation.
Soon, Zhou Wen and the others caught up with those people in front, but all of them seemed to be numb. Zhou Wen and Liu Yun wanted to communicate with them, but they just hmm, it seemed that they had collapsed in despair .
"Forget it, there is no way to communicate like this, let's go quickly." Liu Yun said.
Zhou Wen nodded and continued to walk forward. Every time he met a person, Zhou Wen tried to communicate with them, but the further he went, the more numb those people became, and the few people behind him simply ignored them, like wooden people .
"These people seem to have some problems. When I first met Professor Chuhe, he also had a similar tendency, but he is the closest to the city gate, and his symptoms are the lightest. No wonder I thought Chuhe was a little weird at first. I thought It's because he hasn't talked to anyone for a long time, and now it doesn't seem to be the case." Zhou Wen thought to himself, but he didn't say anything because Chuhe was beside him.
Soon, the three of them reached the end of the long street and stepped up the stone steps. Every time they took a step on the stone steps, the number of steps consumed doubled. One step equaled three steps on the stone slab.
It's just that the stone steps of 365 steps will consume more than 1,000 steps.
Only Zhou Wen had enough steps, Chuhe and Liuyun didn't have enough, so Zhou Wen had to wait until the bell rang again, let them find a torture room nearby to be tortured, got enough steps, and then climbed the stone steps.
when!
When Zhou Wen rang the bell, he saw the golden throne slowly opening, and behind him was the gate leaving Huangquan City, and he could already see the desert outside.
However, the Lord of Huangquan stood in the center of the throne of Huangquan, blocking their way. The Lord of Huangquan glanced at the three of them, and finally fixed his eyes on Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen was already ready to fight. He didn't think it would be that easy to leave Huangquan City.
"You can go, but he must stay." The Lord of Huangquan did not do anything, but just pointed his index finger at Chu River.
"He can also ring the Yellow Spring Bell, why can't he leave?" Zhou Wen asked with a frown.
"Because he is already a dead man." City Master Huangquan said lightly.
"What do you mean? He is clearly a living person, how could he be a dead person?" Liu Yun said.
Zhou Wen suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Chuhe and asked, "Professor Chu, what is the exact date of year, month and date when you entered Huangquan City?"
"It should be March 8, 28, what's wrong?" Chu He asked in surprise.
Zhou Wen's face suddenly changed, because 28 years was the year when the old professor and the others went to Zhuolu, that is to say, Chu River had already entered Huangquan City in that year, but he himself always thought that he was In Huangquan City, which I just entered today, there is only one possibility.
With Chuhe's ability, it is impossible for him to survive in Huangquan City, so he is already dead.
But now Chuhe is standing in front of him alive, it is really hard to believe that he is a dead person.
