Qi Ge chopped the Shadow Prison Lock with his sword, and not only the [Protocol Mecha] looked over, but all the Chaos Monsters in the entire castle also looked over.
Qi Ge put his hands on his hips arrogantly in the cage and said, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a prisoner sharpening a sword?
Look carefully, I am your noble prisoner master!
Turn it back to me."
Although Qi Ge was very arrogant, the Chaos Monsters still turned around and went back silently.
Prisoners can do whatever they want.
According to the rules of Chaos, prisoners are the same as dead people. No matter how powerful they are, they cannot make a dead person die again. This is against the rules.
Qi Ge looked at the LV60 lock. The health bar was longer than Queen Medusa's tail. His sword dealt 70 damage but didn't even reduce the health bar.
"No, how long will it take me to fight alone?
We still have to train those shadow creatures and let them fight."
Qi Ge let out a sigh of relief, picked up the cage and slowly backed away.
Back in the basement, Shadow Lizard is already alive and well with the help of a specialist consultation.
The monster-luring plan starts!
"This eight-clawed assassin insect has an old skin shell, its wings are shining with precious light, its big head has star-bursting eyes, its teeth are first-rate, its back neck is spotted with bronze, and its abdomen has thirty-eight tentacles of moderate hardness and softness.
Hmm, you can tell at first glance that he is one of the best coaches.
Shadow Lizard Brothers, go ahead! "
…
"This shadow monster has a muscular body, a chicken neck as big as a papaya hanging on a tree, chest muscles that faintly glow black, arms like wheels, fingers as thick as tree branches. It is simply a rich woman's happy demon. If it is made into black smoke, it will definitely nourish the kidneys. Catch it!"
…
In the blink of an eye, 9 out of 10 cages were full, leaving only the last cage, which was reserved for the lucky one who would duel with Ivy.
As a key general of Qi Ge, Ivy's combat effectiveness must be guaranteed. Under Qi Ge's arrangement, she enjoys supreme platinum treatment and gains experience alone.
After searching for a while, Qi Ge finally found a suitable target, a LV21 [Little Bat Beast] with a combat power of 1100, which was just slightly lower than Ivy's current strength.
The Shadow Lizard cannot outrun this type of flying soldier, so Qi Ge has to take action personally.
Now there is a big problem, [Little Bat Beast] lives in groups.
They hung densely in a row on the top of the gray castle like rotten purple grapes, and some fishy, ​​highly corrosive acidic liquid would drip from time to time.
"How can we separate them?"
Qi Ge thought about it and decided to go back and ask Ivy.
"Little Batmon?" Ivy blinked: "There are even little batmons in this castle.
The bat has an excellent hearing system and can catch prey and avoid obstacles through echolocation.
This ability makes the little bat beasts very efficient hunters. For us, groups of little bat beasts are a natural disaster that many cities cannot defeat.
But the overly sensitive hearing also becomes the weakness of the little batmon.
As long as a warrior with a taunt skill above level 21 roars, the special taunt echo will make the little bat beast restless, and the little bat beast will keep chasing the opponent until it completely loses the opponent's position.
Taunt has a range, so as long as the taunt level is high enough, it can just attract one or a few small bat beasts.
"Level 21 taunt, huh? I see."
Qi Ge returned to the vicinity of Little Batmon, calculated the distance, turned on the taunt, and said to the Little Batmon that was constantly dripping acid:
"Monster, take this stick from me!"
Taunt critical hit!
The three [little bat beasts] chirped and pounced towards the seven pigeons.
"Wait, what is that? There seems to be something under those bats?"
Seeing the bat beast rushing towards him with its teeth bared, Qi Ge raised his eyebrows and turned around to run away!
He carried the cage on his back, took big strides forward, bent over and tried to sneak as he ran.
But due to the bat's lock, his stealth was unsuccessful.
The shadow lizard cannot outrun the bat, and the seven pigeons that cannot outrun the shadow lizard certainly cannot outrun the bat either.
However, Shadow Lizard is not a human, but Seven Pigeons is.
Whenever the bat was about to catch up with the seven pigeons, he would put down the cage and lock himself inside.
After the bat was locked up and flew away, he came out of the cage and started taunting him again.
"Hey! I'm coming in."
"Hey! I'm out again!"
"You little demons, don't even think about escaping from my grasp!"
"Monster, where are you going!"
When the enemy chased me, I hid; when the enemy ran away, I shouted. The blood of the Seven Pigeons awakened, and I fought very well as a guerrilla fighter. I successfully lured the three bats into the dungeon.
The black shadow monsters, who had been prepared, rushed forward and knocked down all three bats that were fighting with seven pigeons in the cage. Then they separated them one by one, consulted with experts, locked them one by one, and put them all in cages. The whole process went smoothly.
One bat is given to Ivy for solo training, and the remaining two bats can be used as combat power supplements. If the combat power of any coaching team cannot keep up, the bats will be captured to supplement more than a thousand points.
Qi Ge let Ivy and the others train on their own, and stretched out his big hand to grab the tail of the shadow lizard that was bending over and pacing, trying to slip away.
"Brother Lizard, I have a great discovery! Do you want to come with me and take a look?"
Shadow Lizard just shook his head and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Nodding means affirmation, shaking your head means strong affirmation.
Then I wag my tail.
Then, the shadow lizard caught in Qi Ge's hand began to swing on Qi Ge's hand, shaking wildly.
The seven pigeons laughed happily.
"Oh, Brother Lizard, you want to go so badly that you even started dancing with excitement.
Don't worry, we have such a close relationship, how could I go on an adventure without taking you with me?
Go ahead. "
"Ha-hi."
Nodding is not a rejection, shaking your head is not a rejection, and wagging your tail is not a rejection!
So what is rejection?!
The shadow lizard stuck out its tongue and remained motionless, looking like it was thinking quickly.
…
…
Li Xiaobai walked back and forth in front of the Chaos Treasure House, looking very conflicted.
Le Meng happened to pass by and walked over and patted Li Xiaobai on the shoulder.
"Brother Xiaobai, what are you doing here?"
"Hey, I'm just worried about the boss."
Li Xiaobai scratched his head and said:
"The rescue team has been in there for three days, why is there no news at all?
The last time we fought the boss in the Chaos Treasure House, it didn’t take this long.”
Le Meng smiled and comforted:
"This is a high-difficulty Chaos Treasure House, it's different. Didn't we fight for a long time in the Dragon Country before?
Don't worry, you know the boss's level, there will be no problem."
Li Xiaobai sighed:
“If the boss is the capturer, I would definitely feel relieved, but this time the boss is the NPC, and those NPCs are the capturers.
I’m afraid they can’t.”
Le Meng shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Xiaobai, you can't look down on NPCs.
The NPCs in the Yasa world are no worse than us players. In fact, the abilities and conduct of many NPCs are far superior to those of ordinary players.
Valeera is quick-witted and experienced in handling various matters, the dark elves are powerful, and Laura and Bloodshadow are extremely loyal to their boss.
They complement each other, and as long as they can work together, rescuing the boss will not be a problem."
Li Xiaobai made a bitter face, clapped his hands suddenly, and said, "Hey, I'm afraid of this.
They are all good individually, but what if they don’t fit together?”
Le Meng suddenly realized : "Oh, are you worried that Valeera can't command Blood Shadow and the others?
Don't worry, we have already considered this.
There is one person in the army who is Valeera's accomplice. If there is a conflict, she will help the tentacles to resolve it. It is very safe. "
"What can't I command?" Li Xiaobai was a little confused: "I'm talking about jealousy!
Among the eleven heroes, nine of them had clear relationships with the boss. Except for Valeera and the lizard, each of them was the boss's mistress.
Valeera might be one of them, too.
Without the boss to calm them down, what will happen if they start fighting? "
“We have considered this as well. Ruoqier took out a batch of pink mirror fruits from the Peerless Heavenly Kingdom and asked them to take them with them. If they really can’t control themselves, they can grind them themselves.
Just a little digestion."
Xiaobai was shocked: "You guys have thought it through so thoroughly."
"Of course. Together with me and the strategy team, we have more than 40 people. We are all elites among elites."
Le Meng smiled, but her expression became serious again:
“It can be said that this rescue team is the best solution we can find.
If even they fail..."
Le Meng didn't continue talking. Li Xiaobai had already understood. Both of their faces darkened and they sighed at the same time.
…
…
Xueying clenched his fists, and his already fair face became even paler.
She looked at the camp not far away with hatred and asked Laura:
"Is this what you get from looking at the map? Are you running to the safe zone?"
“Ahaha. Ahahahaha…”
Laura laughed awkwardly twice:
“It was an accident, it really was an accident.
After all, I'm not a hero, so some errors are normal."
Xueying glared at Laura angrily, and without saying anything, he turned and left:
"Forget it. It's unreliable to follow you. I'll go find the master myself."
"stop."
Just then, a sharp voice rang out.
Bloodshadow turned her head and saw behind her, Valeera walking out with a figure in a black robe.
Feeling the powerful aura from the other party, Xueying understood his identity.
"Your Excellency Anosaki..."
"This is simply nonsense! What's the point of being anxious? Can you kill the Lord of Chaos with just one soldier? Can you destroy the Shadow of Evil alone?"
Anothaki shouted harshly:
“You are worried about Qi Ge, but aren’t we worried too?
The Seven Doves are your masters and my lords.
If you go to fight Chaos by yourself and die, how can I explain to Qi Ge when he comes out to ask me?"
Xueying bit his lip and dared not say a word after being scolded.
She was still 90% confident when facing Laura, but she didn't dare to act rashly in front of Anothachi.
Her master is the Seven Doves, and Anosage is the elder of the Seven Doves.
Even Qi Ge was very respectful to Anosaki, so she didn't dare to talk back to Anosaki.
Arnosaki glanced at these troops and softened his voice:
“The rules of the world here are different from those in Yasha. Your troops are not covered by rules like heroes. Even if you have great abilities, you can only compete with those chaotic monsters in terms of combat power.
Let me first explain to you what I know.
There are two continents here. One is the Evil Shadow Continent, which has a total of thirty cities. The total combat power of the weakest city is 600,000. The combat power of the strongest city is unknown, but it must be extremely terrifying.
The other piece is the Dark Continent of Justice where you are now. There are only two cities in total, and Tanan and I are guarding one each.
Excluding me and Tanan, the combined combat power of our two cities is only 800,000, which is just enough to exceed the weakest city of the enemy.
The odds were overwhelmingly against us.
Qi Ge is in extreme danger now. I can guess how difficult his situation is just by thinking with my toes.
His life is now in your hands. Any act of your will may make him lose hope of being saved.
But you have to believe him. If he really died that easily, he would have died by now.
The combined combat strength of the ten types of soldiers in your squad is only 150,000, and you can't even take down the weakest city.
Therefore, if you want to save Qi Ge, you must now collect resources, recruit soldiers, and train near the city.
If you act recklessly, you are courting death."
Hearing this, the Dark Elf and Blood Shadow both looked a little gloomy, only Laura's eyes were still bright.
Arnosaki glanced at Laura without leaving a trace, and changed the subject, saying:
“Although the situation is not favorable to us now, we are not without ways to deal with it.
I have level 100 theft, which allows me to steal supplies from Chaos out of thin air. If you have enough Shadow Coins, it is not impossible for me to steal the Seven Pigeons back directly.
Tanan has LV100 combat training, and the soldiers under his command are growing very quickly.
We have gained control of the only two cities, and now all the forces of the Darkness of Justice recognize us as their leader.
Time is on our side.”
Seeing that the soldiers had regained some hope, Arnosachi nodded and said:
“Come with me, I will tell you what I know and the plan we have drawn up.
Then I will send someone to take you to Tanan.
We have already started training the troops before you arrived. There is a fearless iron army waiting for your arrival.
Due to the rules, neither Tanan nor I can leave the city, but we will do our best to prepare for you.
All you have to do is lead your troops into battle, and then win, win again, and win continuously!"
Arnosaki emphasized word by word:
"The rules of this world are special. If you fail, your entire army will be annihilated. Any failure is not allowed!"
…
…
"Sixty-three little batmons, done!"
Qi Ge clapped his hands and breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though the little bat beasts have a combat power of only over one thousand, the combined combat power of more than sixty of them exceeds sixty thousand, and their total combat power is higher than that of the Eye of Moses.
Qi Ge didn't dare to clean it up all at once and could only seduce it bit by bit.
Fortunately, his hard work was not in vain.
At this time, the pitch-black hole in the ceiling was exposed to Qi Ge.
"What's in the cave?"
Qi Ge climbed up the pillar carefully and looked inside.
He was surprised to find that this was actually a secret passage hidden in the city wall.
This pitch-black passage seems to be the entrance to an unknown world. Its existence is like an unknown portal, hiding endless secrets and strange and unpredictable scenes.
The tunnel was filled with deep darkness that seemed to swallow up all light, making it impossible for Qi Ge to see the true situation inside.
"Could it be... a hidden room that every RPG game has?
It seems very dangerous and strange, however, it is this mystery and unknown that makes this cave full of attraction.
It’s reasonable for a man to see a hole and want to drill into it.”
Qi Ge touched his tail. This time he cut off his tail and pretended to be dead, which gave him the confidence to take the risk.
He first jumped back to his original position, then picked up the cage and threw it into the cave with force.
Then he climbed back along the pillar, crawling on the ground the whole time, using his arms to support the bottom of the cage and push it forward.
This is a one-way street without any forks or turns. It is pitch black and you can't see anything.
As Qi Ge crawled, he simulated his position in his mind.
Qi Ge was surprised to find that as he crawled, he was getting closer and closer to the cell where he woke up.
It seemed that this secret passage led to the top of the ceiling of the cell.
"Hmm~~"
Just when Qi Ge felt that his position was about to overlap with the cell, the cage seemed to hit something and could not be moved anymore.
Qi Ge groped his way up the cage in the dark, slowly reaching out his hand and probing forward until he touched a metallic wall.
"No, it's not a wall, it seems to be a door...
If there is a door, then there might be a lock.”
Qi Ge groped in the dark for a few times and soon found a lock.
【Mother God Lock LV99
Effect: A lock that is extremely difficult to open, but each time you fail to open it, you will gain the same experience as if you successfully opened it. 】
Seven Pigeons: !!!
"Is this... a cheat that the great Mother Goddess Yasha gave me?!"
While thinking about it, Qi Ge covered the lock tightly with his hands!
There's nothing I can do. I'm always guilty.
The rules of the Chaos Treasure House allow cheating, but it cannot be discovered, otherwise the other party will unconditionally invest more power than the cheating party.
The last time the Demon Lord was discovered cheating by Qi Ge, the gods of Yasha took the opportunity to beat him up and almost killed him.
"Be quiet and make a fortune."
Qi Ge's eyes lit up and he started brushing with great joy.
[System prompt: Unlocking... Unlocking failed, gaining 33,000 unlocking experience points.]
[System prompt: Current unlocking level LV55]
"Hiss~ Thirty thousand in one go! Take off!"
[System prompt: Current unlocking level LV60]
[System prompt: Current unlocking level LV65]
[System prompt: Current unlocking level LV69]
…
…
In just a few minutes, Qi Ge's lock-picking skills reached level 99!
[System prompt: Unlocking is successful, current unlocking level is LV100. ]
【Lock Picking LV100
Effect: Can open all locks of level 100 and below.
Each experience gained from successfully unlocking a lock will be converted into theft experience. 】
The Mother Goddess Lock in Qi Ge's hand turned into a white light and disappeared. As the lock disappeared, the sturdy door shattered and collapsed, and a faint yellow light shone from behind the door.
"This is?! Study?"
Qi Ge walked slowly towards the door and glanced at the shabby little study.
This seemed to be a place forgotten by time. The bookshelves along the wall had been broken and collapsed, and the books were scattered on the ground.
He squatted down and carefully observed the scattered books. Some of the pages had turned yellow and rotten, and turned into ashes with a light touch of his fingers. The words on the cover were already blurred.
He picked up one gently, opened it, and found that the words inside had been eroded by time to the point of being almost unrecognizable.
"I thought it was a skill book, but it's not...
Tsk, if all these books were skill books, I would fly into the sky in an instant.
pity……"
Qi Ge continued searching in the study, and his eyes fell on the bookshelf.
When he got closer, he could smell the odor of rotting wood, which made him frown.
It seems that this small study has been abandoned for a long time and no one comes to take care of it.
Qi Ge didn't see any light source, but there was enough light in the room for him to see the surroundings clearly, but he didn't know where it came from.
This made Qi Ge even more convinced that this room was not simple.
“Perhaps the clue is beneath these books?”
Qi Ge carefully moved the book away, and sure enough, on the floor under the book, there were some lines similar to tadpole script.
He was delighted and spent some time putting all the books aside. Finally, he could see the whole floor clearly.
There were many inexplicable lines carved on the floor, which looked like both words and paintings.
Qi Ge stared at it carefully for a while, and suddenly, paragraphs of Chinese characters that he could understand emerged above the tadpole characters.
"The great power of the shadow has been broken down, and there is no possibility of it being reunited. The true void that we glimpsed from the broken pieces should have been the light of hope for us to break free from the cage, but it has become our eternal nightmare."
"Everything is coming to an end, everything is withering, even our shadows are fading."
"There's no going back. After our last failure, we can never go back to the way we were before."
"No, it shouldn't be like this. Our world shouldn't end like this."
"But the Mother Goddess has given up on us."
"We are still alive, my skills can be passed on, and there is still hope for the world."
"But the Mother Goddess has given up on us."
"Greatest Mother Goddess! Your followers weep and seek an answer from you."
"Greatest Mother Goddess, why did you give up on us? Is it because our faith is not strong enough, or is our world really hopeless?"
The more Qi Ge looked, the tighter his brows furrowed.
He was already certain that this world was definitely not a fake world created by the treasure house, but must be a real world.
Words themselves are the embodiment of order.
These special characters that can be recognized by the system have their own unique rules and powerful order.
If this was a virtual world, neither the Mother Goddess nor Chaos would have gone to the trouble of generating these new characters.
“Read between the lines.
These words seem to be the gods of a world giving up this world.
The world exists on the brink of destruction.
The wails left behind by the remaining believers of the gods.
Mother Goddess... Could it be that this is a world abandoned by Mother Goddess Yasha?
Or maybe…”
A bold idea popped up in Qi Ge's mind:
"Is there another Mother Goddess?"
“Yasha’s translation will not be messed up. The true God will definitely be translated as the true God. If the power and status of the gods do not meet the standards, they cannot be translated as the Mother Goddess.
Could it be that this seemingly abstract and simple world in the treasure house is actually a powerful world that is no less powerful than Yasa?
It is possible. Although the rules of this world are very strange, they are no less special than those of Yasa.
When arms fight, they directly compete in combat effectiveness. When the arms combine, their combat effectiveness will be added. This rule is very similar to the combat space in the Yasa world, and even better.
A powerful, special and difficult to kill Chaos Monster like the Eye of Moses is just a troop with a combat strength of 50,000 in this world. All its special features have been wiped out.
If this world was in its heyday, it would not be so easy for Chaos to take down this world under such special rules."
Qi Ge rubbed his eyebrows.
“Of course, it is also possible that this Mother Goddess refers to Yasha.
Then there is another possibility...
There are parts of the history of the Yasa world that I don’t know.
Now, the shadow world with imperfect rules, strange and dreamy, may be another Yasha world, but this world has been abandoned by the Yasha Mother Goddess.
Uncle Anosachi said that the Shadow Realm can connect the shadows of the entire Yasa world, which is indeed very powerful and very special.
If the Shadow Realm is really another Yasha world, why did this world go to destruction, and why did the Yasha Mother Goddess abandon it?"
Every Chaos Treasure House has two modes: perfect strategy and normal strategy. This temporarily generated treasure house must be no exception.
Qi Ge has a directness that solving the mystery of this world is a necessary condition for a perfect strategy.
"But... there are too few hints, and they are so complicated...
It feels like we are getting closer to the truth, but more questions arise. "
Qi Ge raised his head and looked at the old and decayed ceiling:
“Is it possible that there is one or more such hidden rooms in every city?
Can you solve the mystery by finding these hidden rooms?
It’s possible…”
"call……"
Qi Ge stretched out his hand, looked at his palm, and temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.
He took out the cage and stuffed the old books into it one by one.
Then he brought the books back and showed them to Ivy.
Contrary to Qi Ge's expectations, Ivy did not understand the words in the book, but those shadow creatures that could not even speak understood it.
After Ivy's translation, Qi Ge learned that most of the books that could be vaguely understood were diary entries that recorded the number of prayer ceremonies and some accounts, and were not confidential documents.
In addition, the history of these books should be very, very long, and many of the texts have long been abandoned over a long period of time. Even the shadow creatures can only understand a little bit.
Unable to find suitable clues, Qi Ge had to leave the dungeon and go to the gate where the patrol team appeared again.
Once a cage is slammed, thousands of ghosts and gods will be invulnerable.
The noble prisoner master is back!
The level 100 lock picking was truly earth-shattering. Qi Ge's nimble fingers bounced a few times repeatedly before opening the [Shadow Prison Lock] at the gate.
He pushed open the door and saw the scene behind it, and immediately took a deep breath...
"Hiss! Shit!"
Behind the gate was an empty hall. On the ceiling of the hall were densely packed cages, each of which was filled with halflings.
These halflings had their eyes closed and their faces were pale, like dead people.
Their bodies were abnormally swollen, and the hair on their lower bodies was stuck together in patches, like a corpse that had been soaked in water for a long time.
If their bodies hadn't twitched occasionally, Qi Ge would definitely have thought they were dead.
In the center of the hall, there is a strange lamp. It is clearly a lamp, but it emits a dim purple light.
The light shone on the halflings, casting their shadows on the wall.
The same light source can cast shadows of different depths.
Qi Ge saw that a shadow that was extremely black suddenly rose from the wall and turned into a pool of thick ink that rolled down the wall.
Bang!
The ink ball fell to the ground and shattered, then quickly reassembled and stood up as a shadow demon holding a shadow knife.
[Shadow Fiend LV30]
The originally dark shadow suddenly became lighter in color.
The group of halflings corresponding to the shadows suddenly opened their mouths and twisted their bodies, as if they were howling in pain, but no sound came out.
Seven Pigeons: !!!
This strange scene made Qi Ge feel horrified.
“Psycho… How could Chaos Monsters be created in this world?!
Why does the shadow of a halfling turn into a chaos monster? "
Qi Ge stared at the purple headlight and had a feeling that this headlight was the culprit of everything.
【Ghost Light
Effect: Spawns an Evil Shadow monster. No interaction (attacking, stealing, etc.) can be performed while an Evil Shadow is alive in the city.
Clear all evil shadow monsters to transform the ghost light into a shadow light. 】
"Could this be... the Yasa Fire Seed of the Shadow World?!"
Qi Ge took a breath and did not move forward rashly.
A patrol team just happened to come back next to him.
Qi Ge saw that the patrol surrounded the newly spawned shadow demons below the cages under the halflings who were wailing silently.
They all reached out their hands and inserted them into the shadow demon's body.
After a while, the body of the newborn shadow demon shook violently, then shattered and turned into a misty thick smoke.
The shadow demon patrols all sniffed their noses and inhaled the smoke into their bodies. They all had extremely intoxicated expressions on their faces, exactly the same as the expressions of the shadow monsters in the dungeon.
Hiss... These Chaos Monsters are actually eating their own companions? !
"This is wrong! This is totally wrong!
All the energy needed for Chaos Monsters to exist is provided by the void of Chaos itself.
I've never seen a Chaos Monster need to eat.
What is going on in this world?"
Qi Ge took a look at the halflings on the wall. In his intuition, he knew that these halflings should be the ones he wanted to save.
But when Qi Ge looked carefully for a while, he was extremely surprised to find that those halflings were all from the Evil Shadow camp, and each of them was of a high level!
[Half-ghost LV50]
"What's going on? No, I have to go back and ask Ivy what's going on."
Qi Ge found an opportunity and slipped back to the dungeon.
Ivy saw Qi Ge and waved happily:
"My Lord, it's time to end today's training.
Would you like a snack? I made a delicious roasted little bat beast."
"Ivy, wait a minute, I have a question for you."
Qi Ge took a deep breath and told her what he had seen and heard in the hall.
As Qi Ge spoke, the smile on Ivy's face gradually disappeared. She lowered her head and whispered gloomily:
"Ah, sir, you saw it all. Really, why did you have to go and see it? It would be so much better if you hadn't seen it, sir..."
