Chapter 543: Jumo Island (Forty-Nine)
The Cage of Despair is located under the huge pit in the center of the Crystal Puzzle.
This is a special space, between the main island and the reverse island of Jumo Island.
The time on the Positive Island and the Negative Island is reversed, but here, positive and negative do coexist, and the good and the bad flow together.
For example, at this moment, standing at the bottom of the pit and looking up to the sky, you can see the sky of Zhengdao... There is a blood moon intertwined with purple mist hanging in the sky. The surrounding crystal pillars were faintly glowing and were not completely dark.
Bang bang bang——
Suddenly, the sound of moon steps breaking through the sky came from above.
But I saw a vigorous red shadow flying in the air like a strong wind, rushing down at high speed. A few seconds later, Swift Shadow landed on the ground, shattering a large amount of crystal where his feet touched the ground.
At this moment, Feng Bujue was covered in blood, and his eyes were as cold as winter.
"You ran away so fast..." Not long after, another tall figure slowly floated down from the sky.
The person who came was none other than the "Exorcist".
At this time, the torture master's right hand was grabbing Honghu's hair and holding it in his hand. Honghu is not dead yet, but he has lost the ability to resist and can't even reach out to take medicine from his bag...
As for Tianma Xingkong...he didn't survive.
"Huh... or should be said, your reaction was quick enough..." the criminal master said, stopping at a height of three meters above the ground, and casually threw the dying Honghu to the ground, "Facing me To be able to avoid the sudden attack with such extreme movements... This is really beyond my expectation. "
"There seems to be a big gap between your style and strength..." Feng Bujue replied coldly, and glanced at the swan on the ground with his peripheral vision.
Brother Jue did not rush forward to rescue Honghu. He understood that the other party most likely wanted to lure him there by throwing the swan down...
"What? Do you want to say that I am despicable?" The torturer sneered, "Haha...it's ridiculous. Who said that strong people can't play surprise attacks?"
"Well, that makes sense." Feng Bujue actually agreed, "You'd better remember this sentence..."
"Crazy... can't... sleep!"
Suddenly, another roar came from behind Brother Jue.
There was boundless anger and hatred in the familiar voice.
Feng Bujue immediately took a few steps back to the side and glanced there with his peripheral vision... in a strange shadow. He saw a huge crystal cage.
This "cage" looks like an oblate takraw ball. Weaved with crystal, the whole body is hollow, and inside the cage is a monster with horns.
"Samudil?" Feng Bujue asked tentatively.
"Ah--" He responded with a growl.
The roar is not over yet. Samodil has jumped up suddenly. Rushed to the side of the cage. He stuck an arm out of the cage. Brother Chao Jue waved his claws: "I've been waiting for today for a long time... Don't even think about running away!"
"Oh? That's interesting." Master Xing was floating in the air, looking at them with a theatrical look and said, "Could it be..." He turned to face Brother Jue. "...Are you just crazy?"
"Yes, I haven't asked you yet..." Feng Bujue replied calmly.
"Master Xing." Master Xing touched the beard under his nose and said in a proud tone, "I am the chief designer and maintainer of Jui Mo Island." He smiled, "How is it? My work …Does it impress you?”
"Hmph..." Feng Bujue snorted disdainfully, "Are you trying to do anything in front of me, an artist..." He put his hands in his pockets and took two steps in a pretentious manner, "Since I was eight years old, I have been The only skill I can be proud of is my creative ability... the island you designed is like a tomb of imagination."
Brother Jue looked at the torturer with provocative eyes and said eloquently: "Let the creatures who are eager to hear the crime not hear the crime; let the creatures who expect eternal life turn into eternal rotten wood; let the creatures who yearn for beauty and purity be immersed in the dirty world. Swamp...this trick...haha...at first glance, it was designed by a self-righteous sadist." He touched his chin and said, "Also, those boring creatures are nothing more than mutants of animals and plants. , can’t you think of any better ideas?”
"You bastard..." The flames in the torturer's heart grew upwards, and his face was full of anger. Feng Bujue successfully touched his reverse scale with just a few words.
"Although I haven't met the other prisoners on the island, I can roughly guess it." Brother Jue's ridicule is far from over, it is just the beginning, "What other bad ideas can you think of? Keep a meeting going Put a tall man in a small room and let a sweet-tooth eat only mayonnaise?" He tapped his forehead lightly with his finger, "In my opinion, with your talent, , I am afraid there is only one way to create impressive works...that is to undergo a lobotomy on yourself."
"Who do you think you are!" the torturer yelled angrily, "You are an ignorant human being... and you have no right to judge me..."
"Don't talk about qualifications with me." Feng Bujue interrupted the other party loudly, "Even in this universe, I have seen a guy who is smarter than you... I wonder if you know a guy named Billy. Puppet, he is a hundred times more powerful than you."
"You...said...what..." The torturer almost broke his teeth as he spoke out these words in anger.
"Hahahahaha..." A burst of laughter came from the other side. It turned out to be Samodil in the cage laughing, "Crazy... Looking at the entire universe, I'm afraid I can't find anyone with more talent for ridicule than you. Oh...hahaha..."
"What's wrong?" Brother Jue was still calm. He keenly captured something from the reactions of the two people (for the sake of smooth behavior, let's call them people), "There is some kind of ulterior relationship between the torturer and Billy... Past?"
"Hahaha... There's nothing to hide." Samodil laughed in the cage, "It's just something that many people know..."
"Shut up! Samodil!" the torturer shouted towards the cage.
"Hmph... don't yell, you bastard..." Samodil sneered, "This Cage of Despair is not your work, but a creation of the Lord of Time. You are just a keeper of the key... ..." He moved his face to the cage, a pair of earth-yellow eyes showing a ferocious look, "...are you worthy of ordering me?"
The torturer's face was twisted with shame and anger, but it was really hard for him to have an attack... because he knew that Samodil would come out of the cage soon.
"Haha...hehehe..." Suddenly, the torture master smiled, not in anger, but in a sinister way, "As a prisoner, my character has not changed at all..." he said, Descending from the sky, "And you..." He looked at Brother Jue, "A mere human being is talking nonsense in front of me..."
The criminal master stood still and shrugged: "Well... no matter what you think of me, today, I am just a spectator..." He raised his hand and pointed at Feng Bujue, "Crazy Bujue, you and your companions Aren't you looking for a way to 'open the cage of despair'? Hahaha..." He laughed a few more times, "I've already opened it for you."
Brother Jue's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
The torture master continued: "The blood on your body...that is, the blood shed by the boy in the holy robe is the key to the prison cage."
crackling——
Before he finished speaking, the cage where Samodil was imprisoned made a very unpleasant sound, which sounded like the sound of some hard object cracking...
"He must be a believer of Tureus, the God of Truth..." the torturer continued, "Haha... the moment his blood... dripped into this space, the seal was lifted."
Crack, crackle, crackle...
After the first sound, there was a chain reaction. Within a few seconds, the crystal cage that trapped Samodil fell apart and fell to pieces on the ground.
Obviously, after the seal was loosened, this was just an ordinary cage... Samodil's few collisions just now were enough to cause cracks in the cage.
[The current task has been completed]
[The main mission has been updated]
[The current task has been completed]
[The main mission has been updated]
This continuous and repeated reminder shows that Brother Jue has completed two tasks at once. When you open the task bar, you can see that in addition to [Find a way to open the cage], there is another [Unseal the Cage of Despair] brushed below, and the latter is counted as completed almost as soon as it is brushed out.
"Tch..." Feng Bujue spat, "This task is surprisingly simple..."
Actually, it’s not simple at all…
If everything is normal, then there should be one third of the nightmare process left to go. And the method of unlocking the seal is different from now.
First, they have to find clues about the "seal" in this space. Then find another mechanism and return to the main island of Jumo Island. Then, go look for a few props and ask an NPC for two ways to leave Jui Mo Island (you can skip this, because Brother Jue has already heard about it from Fuling). Finally, return here and open the Cage of Despair.
But due to Billy's intervention, the torturer appeared here, disrupting the original plot...
"Hahaha...hahahahaha..." The torturer laughed almost maniacally, "You two have complaints and revenge...you don't need to thank me...hahahaha..."
"You let such an important prisoner go without authorization... Aren't you afraid that the Lord of Time will hold you accountable?" Feng Bujue looked at him and read.
"You don't need to worry about me anymore. You should take care of yourself first... Haha..." The torture master smiled, "Human, I want to see how long your arrogant attitude can last?"
Bang, bang...
While they were talking, Samodil on the other side had stepped out of the cage, his huge hooves thumping on the crystal surface, and a bunch of bat wings stretched out behind him, creating a strong wind.
At this moment, the new task in Brother Jue’s taskbar also illustrates the severity of the situation: [Stay alive] (To be continued...)
