Chapter 0082 Underground Prison
Zhou Qingfeng reignited a torch to illuminate the prison hall.
Under the fire, the white ghost looked dull and no longer looked so vicious. After being critically attacked by the archer golem, its momentum was greatly reduced, and its offering of a soul contract made it lose its power of resistance.
But Zhou Qingfeng did not intend to sign a soul contract with a half-demon. Although he would gain considerable benefits after signing the contract, no one who was tied to the demon would have any good results, even if the other party was a half-demon, it would be very dangerous.
The most common thing the devil slaves do is the Lord Devour.
According to the story of the Abyss Magic Horse, its situation is exactly the same as what Cirick guessed. The elves of Silver Leaf City captured a large number of demon servants in the war with the demons. Most of these servants were directly executed and a small number were detained for research.
"What to study?" Zhou Qingfeng held up the torch and asked curiously.
The Abyss Demon Horse said, "Learn how to fight against demons. We prisoners are test-based products to train a new generation of elves warriors. As a result, they found that they couldn't win and retreated, but threw us in prison and buried us alive.
In the past few decades, I have prayed countless times that someone can come and save me. I am just a half-demon and I have not done anything evil. The war has ended, why can't I let me go?
But my prayer did not receive any response, so I was angry, angry, and irritable. I swear that if anyone dared to save me, I would definitely devour him.
Master, you fell in from the hole above, and I noticed it. I was waiting for you to come down. But I didn’t expect you to bring an elf golem, which is quite powerful. So I am willing to take you as the mainstay.”
After saying that, the Abyss Demon Horse was depressed and lost her temper, and looked very obedient.
Zhou Qingfeng now seriously suspects that Cirick is cheating him, but he has no choice but to use him and the Crazy God, so it would be strange if he is not cheated. He can only write a few more words on the small notebook.
But what should I do about the contract?
"I won't sign a soul contract with you." Zhou Qingfeng changed the contract offered by the Abyss Demon Horse, "but I can sign an employment contract with you."
"Employment Contract?" The Magic Horse Ghost took back the soul fragments he sent out and carefully read the modified terms above. It was surprised to find that Zhou Qingfeng gave up becoming his absolute controller and turned into a relatively equal employer.
The advantage of this modification is that the relationship between the master and the servant is not that close, and Zhou Qingfeng reserves the right to fire the other party at any time.
"But master, you can't enjoy the strengthening brought by the soul contract." said the magic horse ghost. Its bloodline comes from the abyss' "Nightmare" and its appearance is a huge and strong deep black horse.
The flames surround the iron hooves of the "Nightmare", negative energy spurts out from its nostrils, and the aura of fear surrounds it. Any enemy who looks at it will withstand the mental impact, and once it cannot resist it, it will erode its soul.
This terrible monster is rarely allowed to be ridden, and only the most powerful evil existence can use it as its mount.
As the descendant of "Nightmare", signing a soul contract with the Abyss Demon Horse can enjoy the power attribute bonus, allowing Zhou Qingfeng to fight the barbarians. But he refused without hesitation, "Do you sign or not?"
The employment contract stipulates that the magic horse cannot attack Zhou Qingfeng and his allies, cannot betray and obey orders. The contract stipulates very detailed regarding power and obligations. The benefit it gets is to escape from the elves prison, and don’t think about flesh and blood, soul, etc.
The employment period is only two years, and whether to renew the contract after expiration shall be re-contracted by both parties.
The Abyss Demon Horse did not expect that Zhou Qingfeng was so vigilant. But it had no choice but to accept this contract and hand over its soul fragments again.
"Since you are a horse and your blood comes from the 'Nightmare', those who want to run should run very quickly. I will call you 'Jiying' in the future."
The Abyss Magic Horse has no objection to this.
The contract was established, and Zhou Qingfeng immediately felt his control over this semi-demon. He breathed a sigh of relief, held the torch and returned to the entrance of the dungeon.
The rusted bronze prison door was still blocked there, and there was no way to open it with normal means. However, the archer golem exploded and the arrow still played a role, directly bombarding the door frame, making it shaky.
Zhou Qingfeng kicked him hard at the prison door until he kicked him down.
Behind the prison door is a dark walkway that is diagonally downward. It is narrow, dry, and extremely rough. "Jiying" wants to lead the way, but Zhou Qingfeng asked the archer golem to go down first. If you encounter any target with malicious intentions, don't be polite and just bang it.
"Besides me, there are only some bones left below, and there is no danger." "Jiying" muttered.
"What bone?"
"My bones and the corpses of other demon servants. Many of my kind imprisoned me back then, but I was the only one who successfully transformed into ghosts. The others disappeared. The master went down to take a look and understood."
The archer's gossip went down and came back safely. So Zhou Qingfeng held down the torch, stepped on the stone steps, and listened to the monotonous echo, and arrived at the underground prison along the spiral walkway.
The underground space is full of free negative energy, so it is even more chilling. Zhou Qingfeng held up the torch and moved his footsteps carefully. In front of him were seven or eight dark cells, with monster corpses locked behind the iron fence as thick as his arms.
"This is a hunting spider." "Jiying" introduced in front of a cell. "It is a scout of the demon army, good at stealth, hiding and assassination. The elves hate it very much, and have tried many ways to deal with it, and finally dismembered it."
In the first cell was a huge spider that was dismantled from eight pieces. The bones left by its remains were covered with traces of weapons slashing and arcane bombardment. Each part of it was removed and studied, and was completely destroyed.
"Is its remains useful?" Zhou Qingfeng only cared about this.
"Its bones can still be sold for some money," said 'Jiying'. "Maybe there will be wizards who are interested."
Looking at the spider skeleton that had been dismantled, Zhou Qingfeng tsk a few times, "Witch? I know a wizard apprentice. Maybe I can knock him down."
There was a minotaur locked in the second cell, with a soft skeleton and turned into ashes. "Jiying" said that this thing was once the main force of infantry in the demon servant army. It was fearless of life and death, not afraid of pain, and was easier to command.
The elf wizard tried a lot of arcane techniques on the Minotaur, which caused his soul to dissipate directly after his death, and even his bones could not be retained. Uncle Zhou pointed at the ashes on the ground through the cell fence and asked, "Is the Minotaur's ashes useful?"
"Maybe the witch doctor will like it." 'Jiying' shook his head, "Actually, I don't understand very much."
The third and fourth cells are empty, and the fifth one is closed with the "Jiyingying". Zhou Qingfeng saw the skeleton left after his death, which was an extremely tall horse-like monster.
It had a tall man with thick bones and bone spurs all over his body. It turned into a ghost's "scared shadow" and returned to its skeletons. Its empty eye sockets lit up red, its jaw bones were opened, and its fangs were exposed, making its head look particularly ferocious.
"Master, please remove the shackles that bound me. I can go with you." "Jiying" raised its hooves, and its thighs, which were left with only bones, were bound by four thick chains, restricting its movements. For this reason, it has been locked here for more than fifty years.
The four chains are extraordinary, and they are created by the elves who deliberately use to imprison the demons. The "Jiying" has no choice but to do anything to them.
Zhou Qingfeng stood outside the cell and expressed satisfaction with the appearance of his new mount. He directed the archer golem to blast the iron fence of the cell first, and then knocked the chains off the walls of the cell.
As for the chain itself, it can only be wrapped around the bone legs of the "Jiying" for the time being, and then find a way to remove it when you go back. However, after the chain is destroyed, some kind of restriction imposed on it is also broken, and the free negative energy in the entire dungeon is gathering towards the "Jiying".
The abyss demon horse, who had gained freedom, immediately roared, and the negative energy gathered rolled and overflowed from its body. It stepped on the ground with four hooves, stomping the ground of the cell, and then lowered its head and crashed towards the iron fence of the cell.
The iron fence as thick as a man could not resist its charge of impact and bent quickly. One of them was pierced by the sharp spike on its forehead and pierced directly. It hit a few more times, rumbled the entire dungeon and swayed slightly.
This abyss magic horse only has a skeleton, but after it escaped, it absorbed a large amount of negative energy in the prison, quickly recovered its strength, and was about to lose control. "Stop, do you want to rebel?" Zhou Qingfeng controlled the soul fragments and forced the "Jiying" to calm down.
The red light in the eyes of "Jiying" was soaring, staring at Zhou Qingfeng with extremely hatred eyes. It kept stepping on the ground with its hooves, and a rich negative energy flow was sprayed out from its nostrils. The spikes above its head were shining black light, as if they were about to rush over to kill the owner.
"I'll let you stop." Zhou Qingfeng quickly analyzed the soul fragments of "Jiying" in his mind and grabbed the highest control authority. After a few breaths, the skeleton war horse suddenly let out a whine, his front hooves became weak, and he knelt down directly.
"Put your negative energy and don't use it on me in the future." Zhou Qingfeng ordered.
"Jiying" is using negative energy to refine the chains that bind its four hooves. Those chains have some arcane patterns on them, which are constantly fighting the erosion of negative energy.
However, these restrictions that control the "Jiying" were destroyed by Zhou Qingfeng, and under the erosion of negative energy, they became like scrap iron in a steelmaking furnace, gradually becoming red and hot, and even liquefied.
"Jiying" controls these liquefied metals to cover its skeletons and strengthens its defenses on several key points. After more than ten breaths, its body becomes a state of mixed metal and bones, and its appearance becomes even more brutal and terrifying.
After completing his own evolution, the abyss magic horse became a little more honest. It walked to Zhou Qingfeng and rubbed his hands together to please his master.
Zhou Qingfeng was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he continued to walk to the cell behind. Some were empty, some were a bone. It was a little different to the last one, with a transparent drop of water floating in the cell.
"What's this?"
"A demonized elves were originally imprisoned here. After the elves evacuated the Black Forest, I could only chat with it every day. But as I was chatting, it suddenly exploded and left this thing. I don't know what it is, it's useless to me anyway."
