Chapter 439 Encounter in the underground prison
Soon, he was back at the point where he had triggered the mechanism.
Looking at the closed mechanism at this time, Xu Xin fell into silence.
That's right, the mechanism on the ceiling that originally fell down has now risen again.
The exit above the head completely disappeared.
Good guy, now, even he himself is trapped in it?
However, it’s normal to think about it.
That is to say, he, with his increased jumping ability, could regard a hole in the five- to six-meter-high ceiling as an exit.
After a normal person falls, there is definitely no way to go back.
Therefore, there must be other exits from this underground prison.
"Hey!" Coco's cry came from ahead, urging him to move forward quickly.
The giant bugs in the surrounding cages were much more restless than the giant beasts. When he and Coco passed by, these bugs started to stir again.
Countless harsh insect sounds were reaching his ears, making Xu Xin want to block his ears!
The insect's cry was at least ten notches worse than the previous lion's roar, which was like an imperial engine!
Frowning, he quickened his pace and soon caught up with Coco in front.
He is now in the dungeon passage on the other side.
There was basically no difference from the place where he had just reached the end.
After going downhill for a while, it began to spiral downwards. The size of the prison gradually became larger, and the underground creatures imprisoned in it also became larger and larger.
And here, a giant beast is also imprisoned.
A giant python that is half as tall as a prison cell when it is coiled!
The blue-gray scales glowed with a colder light than the cell walls. The scarlet vertical pupils tightened even more when they saw Xu Xin. The python's head hit the golden cell railing with a "bang".
"Hey!" Coco was startled, climbed onto Xu Xin's shoulders twice, and waved her little paws at the giant python in the cage.
As for Xu Xin, it didn't matter. He even rubbed Coco's little head and said with a smile: "This guy can't get out. Otherwise, why don't you get in and try?"
"嘤! 嘘嘤!" Coco protested, saying that Xu Xin was letting him die.
Xu Xin raised his head and glanced at the giant python, then continued walking forward.
The huge snake-like creature didn't seem that scary to him.
He has long been used to it.
Just a few days after entering this world and just passing the novice protection period, he had already seen a giant anaconda that was almost the same size as the python in front of him.
Moreover, the giant anaconda later became even more powerful, reaching at least a hundred meters in length.
The giant anaconda at this time was much more oppressive than the giant python that was coiled in the prison and banging its head against the metal railing.
Therefore, compared to the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake, this "little guy" in front of me is really nothing interesting.
There are also eight giant beast cages here, but except for the giant python's cage, the other seven are empty.
He walked on.
Then, I saw an unexpected person at the end.
"Hey!" Coco greeted the people in the cell.
"...You were actually imprisoned too." Xu Xin was a little surprised.
"Ah, Xu Xin! You're here! I...oh, I'm so embarrassed!"
After seeing Xu Xin coming in, Wen Guixin, who was lying on the bed with her hands behind her head, immediately sat up from the bed. When she saw Xu Xin, she immediately said awkwardly.
Well, unexpected, but reasonable.
He guessed that these two people should be faster than him and should have arrived earlier than him.
Now it seems that his guess was correct.
However, they are all rather reckless and are all locked up here.
In fact, we can't blame them.
If Coco hadn't reminded him to stop, Xu Xin would have approached the vine bundle directly.
"You also stepped on the outside of this bunch of vines and fell?" Xu Xin asked.
"Yes? You too?" Wen Guixin turned to look at him, "Then why are you not in the cell?"
"I didn't miss the mark." Xu Xin shook his head and touched Coco's little head, "It all depends on this little guy."
"Hey!" Coco raised her little head.
"...What do you mean?" Wen Guixin was stunned for a moment, and then responded, "Oh, you got in through the gap in the vine bundle, right? I saw that gap too. However, since you didn't step on it, Kong, then how do you know that I came down by stepping on the sky?”
"Because I just met Zhao Xiaochuan, and he is in the same situation as you now."
Xu Xin told her the information he got from Zhao Xiaochuan.
Wen Guixin frowned when she mentioned that he fell into coma after falling and lay on the bed after waking up.
"What's wrong? Your experience is different from his?" Xu Xin asked.
"Well... I also fell into a coma when I fell... No." Wen Guixin shook her head, "I shouldn't have been in a coma, but my consciousness was very blurred. In my confusion, I seemed to see a few people. ”
Did you see... people?
Xu Xin's heart skipped a beat.
"Are you sure it's a human?" he asked immediately.
Wen Guixin nodded: "It must be a human being, no... I just can see the human form, maybe it's that kind of furry weirdo? At that time, I thought it was a few of you, and I was a little excited, but my consciousness was too vague. I couldn’t make any sound, but I immediately knew they were not you.”
"What do you mean?"
"Because, those few people came to me and wanted to lift my body. It is definitely impossible for you to do such a thing." Wen Guixin said.
...That's true.
Everyone among the Explorers knew that Wen Guixin's abilities made it impossible to touch her body.
"Then what?" Xu Xin asked.
"Then? Then those people fell down." Wen Guixin spread her hands, showing a somewhat innocent expression, "Don't blame me, who let them touch me at will. Later, my consciousness became even more blurred, and my eyes I couldn't even force myself to open it. I just felt that my body was being lifted onto something and was dangling, probably moving, and then I heard the sound of the cell door opening and closing. When I regained consciousness. I’m already lying on the bed here.”
Were Wen Guixin and Zhao Xiaochuan moved here by someone?
But...has she already knocked down several people in her confusion?
As expected of the "Empress", no one can touch her body.
But such a situation would not be of much help to their current situation.
After all, Xu Xin still can't find a way to let the two of them out.
These two sides are like two symmetrical dungeons. Where are the mechanisms that can be triggered?
But Xu Xin knew that there must be an exit here.
After all, his entrance has been blocked, and if he can't find the exit, even he himself will be trapped here.
"So, your backpack can't be used anymore?" Xu Xin asked.
"That's right, I can't take out anything, not even a weapon." Wen Guixin sighed.
Her weapon was the purple-level scythe that Xu Xin made at that time. It definitely couldn't be hung around like Zhao Xiaochuan's dagger, so she really didn't even have a weapon now.
Xu Xin also gave her some water and food like he did with Zhao Xiaochuan, and then threw a purple-level dagger into her: "Take it first, you must have a weapon to defend yourself."
"A dagger." Wen Guixin took the dagger and played with it in her hand, which made Xu Xin a little dazzled, "I'm not very good at using daggers."
Xu Xin: "..."
How can you still play so smoothly even if you don't know how to use it?
"Just wait here for now. I'll look around to see if there are any mechanisms or exits." He shook his head and continued to look for exits and mechanisms.
"It's up to you, Xu Xin."
Xu Xin first checked the surroundings again, and after confirming that there were indeed no other mechanisms, he became a little distressed.
What exactly is going on?
Because he had reached the end, he had no choice but to go back.
As he walked, he carefully observed the surroundings of these cells.
However, these cells are completely connected. There is only a metal wall of more than ten centimeters between them. There is no place to open the cells.
Moreover, these prisons do not have any doors, just neat metal railings.
He couldn't even imagine how to open these cells.
Continuing forward, he soon found himself back where he had come down from, losing sight of his goal.
Along the way, I found nothing but prisons.
Now, he has surveyed both sides, and even carefully checked all the way, and found nothing.
"Keke, are there no mechanisms along our way?" Xu Xin asked, grabbing Keke's big tail.
"Huh." Coco shook her little head, saying that she didn't feel anything.
...This is a bit difficult to handle.
He looked up at the ceiling. The entrance had long been closed.
With a slight exertion on his feet, he easily jumped to a height of five or six meters and reached out to touch the ceiling.
However, nothing happened and he could only fall down again.
He had no choice but to take another walk through the underground prison, which was closed on both sides, to see what he could find.
At this moment, a "click" sound suddenly came from his ear.
Um?
Xu Xin's eyelids twitched.
Then, there was the sound of metal rubbing against each other.
This mechanical sound was very abrupt, mixed with the harsh sounds of insects all around.
The source of the sound was very close, just tens of meters ahead!
He immediately ran forward.
"...What kind of place is this..."
This time, he even heard human voices!
Isn't this Wang Lei's voice? !
His pace quickened.
And when he and Wang Lei looked at each other through the iron railings, both of them were shocked.
"嘤!"
"Damn it, Brother Xin!"
"How did you...come out of there?" Xu Xin looked at him in surprise.
This is an empty cage, and it is the first empty cage after coming down from the entrance.
There are bugs in other cages.
As luck would have it, he had touched the railings of this prison, and thus received an introduction to this prison.
Now, Wang Lei is in this prison, and...
A door suddenly opened in the metal wall behind the prison!
Wang Lei walked out of this door!
"I...ah, wait a minute, Brother Xin, this cage should be able to be opened!" Wang Lei got into the door, and five seconds later, there was a "click" sound under the metal railing of the cage.
Then, the metal pole of the prison rose upwards and was pulled out of the metal ground, leaving a row of conspicuous holes.
"Hey!" Coco shouted in surprise.
The metal rod contracted very quickly and reached the top in two seconds.
After hearing this sound, the noisy cries of the surrounding insects suddenly decreased a lot, and then became quiet.
They seem to be afraid of the door being opened?
Wang Lei poked his head out of the door: "Brother Xin, come in and take a look!"
Coco jumped out of his arms and got into the door.
Xu Xin also walked in immediately.
Inside the door is a metal room full of mechanical feel.
The room is not big, about thirty or forty square meters, but the whole room is full of high-tech equipment, and the various buttons on the equipment are dazzling.
And on one wall of the room, there is a screen that is almost the same as the one in the tree house!
After bypassing a precision instrument, he was immediately shocked by several withered corpses staggered on the ground.
These corpses were covered with brown fur, but they had human-like limbs. It was obvious that they were...
Furry weirdo!
Could this room be where these furry weirdos run the prison?
Combined with Wang Lei's operation of opening the prison door just now...
It seems that all the switches of the prison doors are here, right?
"Is this Sister Guixin's masterpiece?" Wang Lei looked at the furry weirdo on the ground, and he was very familiar with it. "The appearance of this corpse is obviously caused by her ability."
Indeed...
These should be the "figures" who touched Wen Guixin, right?
Xu Xin immediately stepped forward and picked up Coco, who was standing in front of the furry weirdo's body, looking curiously at it.
"嘤!"
"Don't worry, Brother Xin, as soon as you die, the toxin will lose its effect." Wang Lei came over and said, "It doesn't matter if you touch this little guy."
"That's it." Xu Xin put Coco on her shoulders and turned to look at Wang Lei: "So, how did you get into this room?" (End of Chapter)
