There are ten cells in total, but only Zhao Xiaochuan's cell is occupied. The other cells are empty.
Each small room is fully equipped.
There is a bed, a table, a chair, and even a small toilet and a sink.
It's like a professional prison cell!
"I'll put you in the bracelet and bring you out first." Xu Xin asked Zhao Xiaochuan to stretch out his hand.
"Long live Brother Xin!" Zhao Xiaochuan immediately stretched out his hand.
Although the gap in the cage is small, it is not a problem to put your hand out.
As it turned out, things were not as simple as he had imagined.
The bracelet didn't work.
Zhao Xiaochuan was still in the cage, and the two looked at each other.
After thinking about it, Xu Xin guessed the principle.
The nature of this cell feels like a backpack or another bracelet, used to store some items or imprison lives.
If you want to put Zhao Xiaochuan, who is in the cell, into the bracelet, you must first take him out of the cell.
After all, even if it was Xu Xin’s bracelet, he couldn’t just snatch things out of other people’s backpacks.
He could only take the things out of the backpack first, or put the backpack directly into the bracelet.
But this cage cannot be put into the bracelet, so the only choice is to bring Zhao Xiaochuan out.
There was no other choice, so Xu Xin searched for the possible switch of the cell door while listening to Zhao Xiaochuan telling his experience.
As for Coco, it had already slipped through the gap in the metal fence and ran into the cell.
Given the size of this little fellow, the prison bars here can't stop it at all, and it can run around freely.
Just as he imagined, after Zhao Xiaochuan landed, he also heard the sound of the activity triggering and received a prompt.
Similarly, he also noticed the bundle of vines in the center at the first moment.
After all, there were no other eye-catching objects around, and this bundle of vines was right at the center of where the six of them were staying.
He realized that this was the key to returning, so he started heading towards here.
As for his progress, it is very simple.
Just as Xu Xin imagined, he directly activated his ability, making him lose his sense of existence in the eyes of all creatures around him, and then walked over.
He didn't walk very fast. After all, if he walked too fast, his ability would be ineffective and he would be discovered.
But he didn't need to deliberately avoid the giant beasts like Xu Xin did. He even curiously observed the appearance of several giant beasts when passing by them.
Moreover, he did not encounter the same kind of river that Xu Xin encountered, which was blocking the way and requiring him to cross.
We did see two small lakes.
It was much easier than Xu Xin. He came near the vine bundle very easily.
"So, how did you end up in this cell?"
Although he asked this question, Xu Xin already had an idea in his mind.
What happened to Zhao Xiaochuan might be the same as what he had speculated about the fate of those mutated monsters.
As expected, Zhao Xiaochuan explained what Xu Xin was thinking: "There is a trap near this vine bundle, Brother Xin, you probably didn't step on it, did you? I wanted to get closer to the vine bundle to take a look, but when I got about 50 meters away, a large area of the ground collapsed! A large area of the ground fell directly, there was no way to dodge, and I fell down with it!"
As he spoke, his expression still showed some fear: "I thought I was going to fall into the abyss and die!"
Are large areas of ground collapsing
No wonder even giant beasts can fall into the trap and be imprisoned in this cage.
"And then you fell directly into this cage?" Xu Xin asked.
"Hmm..." Zhao Xiaochuan shook his head, "That shouldn't be the case, right? I seemed to have fainted for some reason when I fell, and when I woke up, I was lying on the bed in this room. I couldn't have fallen directly on the bed and lay so straight, right? Someone must have brought me here?"
… There is such a thing
Xu Xin's heart skipped a beat.
Here, in the underground prison, there are other people.
Most likely, it's the prison manager.
However, at the moment, these beings do not seem to want to show up in front of these survivors.
So Zhao Xiaochuan fell into coma immediately after coming down, so after he came down, he could not see any other living creatures except the wild beasts in the cage.
Xu Xin was thinking as he felt the floor and walls around the suite, looking for possible mechanisms.
"But, Brother Xin, those giant beasts outside are so cool!" Zhao Xiaochuan sat on a metal stool in the cell, his eyes shining. "I really didn't expect that there is such a world underground. It's so cool! Did you and Brother Chaoyang know about it a long time ago?"
"That's right." Xu Xin nodded.
Since Zhao Xiaochuan has now come to this world, he is already a secret insider, so they can exchange information with each other.
"When Ji Chaoyang and I obtained the golden treasure chest, we had already seen this world." Xu Xin explained, and pointed upwards, "The location of the golden treasure chest was above this world. We saw this world from top to bottom."
As he said this, he smiled and said, "Looking down at the world from above, the impact is too great."
"It turns out that the person who got the golden treasure chest already knew about this world! Then..." Zhao Xiaochuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then why didn't you tell us? Although there is no need to tell us, but... this is not something that needs to be kept secret, right?"
Um
Xu Xin was slightly startled, turned to him and said, "Because at the beginning, that mysterious voice told me not to tell people who don't know what's going on here, otherwise I will be punished, so Ji Chaoyang and I have never told anyone. Didn't you receive such a reminder?"
"Ah? There is such a thing?" Zhao Xiaochuan was confused. "No, I didn't receive such a prompt. It just told me to find the secret of this area and find a way to go back within 24 hours. Then the mysterious voice never sounded again."
Xu Xin raised his eyebrows slightly.
Exactly the same experience as his.
Could it be that after experiencing this event, they can now tell others about the things happening in the underground world
Very likely!
The golden treasure chest was part of the first mission, so the mysterious voice didn’t want many people to know about this underground world.
But now, their second phase of the cold winter is coming to an end, and most people are qualified to know these things.
But it doesn't matter.
He didn't intend to spread the news of this underground world to anyone except the explorers.
Even if you spread it out, they may not believe it.
"Brother Xin, is there no mechanism outside that can open the cage?" Zhao Xiaochuan asked with some concern.
Xu Xin felt around on the ground again, shook his head, and stood up: "I can't find it. Outside this cage is a smooth metal wall. I touched all around, but didn't trigger any mechanism, and didn't get any clues."
"Ah?" Zhao Xiaochuan had a miserable expression on his face. "No way, I can't get out, right?"
“嘤…” Coco poked her head out from under the bed, then crawled out, her little face pale. She crawled out of the cell again, ran to Xu Xin and tried to climb up.
Xu Xin picked it up and patted it twice. The little guy kept crying, so he held it and asked, "How is it? Did you find anything inside?"
“Hmm…” Coco shook her little head, indicating that there was nothing inside.
"There must be nothing in there." Zhao Xiaochuan sat on the bed in some distress, scratching his head, "I have checked every blind spot in here, there is no mechanism at all. I have also tried this door."
As he spoke, he touched the purple-grade steel dagger on his waist and said helplessly, "Even a weapon made of purple-grade steel can't damage this metal railing at all. It's really too difficult."
Xu Xin shook his head.
This of course cannot be destroyed.
This is the deepest cell in the dungeon. Even though it is much smaller than the original cell,...
The materials all emit golden light!
How could a gold-quality cell be cut open by a purple-grade dagger
But there must be a way to open it.
Otherwise, you can't even take things out. You can't just take things in without taking things out, right
"Also, Brother Xin, you don't know," Zhao Xiaochuan pointed to his backpack and said, "Although my backpack and armor are still there, I can't even take out the things in my backpack in this cell! Now I only have this steel armor and this dagger on my body."
The backpack can’t be used in the cell
How should I put it, it is indeed a gold-level cell.
It is not easy to rescue someone from a gold-level cell.
Xu Xin looked around again.
This is the end of the lowest level of the cell block.
There's nothing I can do.
Does this mean that the people locked up in the cell cannot get out for now
"You wait inside now." Xu Xin took out some food and water from his backpack and handed them to him. "I'll go around and see if there's anything else going on around here."
He thought about how when he first came down, this passage had paths going forward and backward.
Maybe he should walk in another direction and see if he could find something.
"Brother Xin, my life depends on you..." Zhao Xiaochuan grabbed the metal railing with a miserable look on his face, feeling like tears behind bars.
After saying goodbye to Zhao Xiaochuan, Xu Xin walked back with Coco.
"嘤!" Coco jumped out of Xu Xin's arms and ran to the front in two steps.
Xu Xin didn't pay any attention to the little guy. He just let it go. Besides, it could always find things that he couldn't.
When he passed by these two giant beasts again, he would no longer be scared.
Because he knew that these big guys would basically not be able to cause any harm to creatures outside the cage.
There were few giant beasts in the dungeon, just the two he had just seen.
A half-bull, half-sheep, devil-like long-horned monster, and a two-headed lion-like monster with red mane.
The giant lion had lost interest when it saw him passing by the cage for the second time. It only raised the four eyes of its two heads and then remained motionless.
The giant beast that looked like both a cow and a sheep still stared at Xu Xin who was passing by with its terrifying horizontal pole, but it did not move and did not make a sound.
There are a total of eight giant prisons for behemoths here.
Except for these two, the other six are empty.
The higher you go, the more wild beasts there are and the fewer empty cells there are.
Seeing the Laforon gradually filling up, Xu Xin suddenly had an absurd idea in his mind.
... The goal of this activity is not to let them take over this underground prison...
Fill it up
