Destiny Rekindled

Chapter 229 Is the cost a bit too high?

The Unfree Pat is a guy covered with scales and hair, tied up with dozens of thick chains deep in the Cage Valley.

Having the physical characteristics of both humans and animals, it is the symbol of the half-demon clan.

It didn't take Qin Chuan too much time to find and kill the opponent.

In other words, the key lies after the kill.

Behind Pat, deep in the valley blocked by surrounding rocks, there was a huge cave with an entrance more than ten meters high.

All signs indicate that Pat is just a bound guard, a pitiful "unfree man".

Walking into the cave, Qin Chuan carried the copy clue [Eternal Candle] he had obtained when he came here. With the help of the faint light, he saw that stone prisons had been dug out of the rock wall. There was not even a slot for inserting a torch, and there seemed to be no place that could be used for lighting.

It would be a terrible thing if the vicious people who were once imprisoned in this prison could only live in darkness for a long time.

There are no living things in these stone prisons at this moment, but the corpses of those who were once imprisoned here and have died have not been cleaned up.

With the help of the firelight, Qin Chuan saw the hideousness and pain of these corpses before they died. It was the huge despair that could still be felt through the dried flesh and blood.

With the help of the first talent of the sundial, he quickly found the clue to the second copy.

It was a somewhat special stone room in the cave, with flat tables and chairs, bookshelves, and a slot that was just right for placing the [Eternal Candle].

It is obvious that this stone chamber is not used to imprison extremely vicious people.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the copy clue: The jailer's detention record]

Prison warden? I didn't know there was such a thing.

Qin Chuan looked at the neatly arranged book clips on the bookshelf. The alien text on them had been translated into Chinese characters. It was a string of time numbers corresponding to the dates of detention.

Qin Chuan randomly pulled out a book clip and opened it, and saw the record at the top.

[On January 3828, 1 of the Sky Calendar, Solas, a serious criminal of the Ghost Clan, was imprisoned in the 12nd Stone Prison in the Cage Valley and was named Prisoner No. 742.]

[Prisoner No. 742 is in prison...]

What followed was a shocking detention process.

As soon as he was imprisoned, the ghost named Solas had all his powers taken away. In this lightless cave prison, he was only allowed to "eat" at fixed times every day.

The food is not provided by the prisoners, but the doors of the stone cells are temporarily opened to seal the entire cell, making it impossible for the prisoners to escape but giving them a chance to come into contact with each other.

The criminals imprisoned here are both eaters and the food itself.

After the "feeding" time is over, the living prisoners will be sent back to the stone prison to wait for the next "feeding" time to begin.

After being imprisoned for only 22 days, the ghost named Solas died wailing.

And this is not an isolated case.

Qin Chuan looked through the records of other criminals and found that only a few could survive here for 30 days.

After reading dozens of records in a row, as the strategy rating was upgraded to S, Qin Chuan left with the [Eternal Candle] and continued to go deeper into the cave.

Deeper in the cave, he finally saw the other living creatures in this copy besides Pat. They were prisoners of various races with mutilated bodies, crazy faces, and different races.

The "meal time" that happened to arrive caused all the stone prison doors to open. The extremely hungry prisoners pounced on Qin Chuan, who had just arrived, without any reason, and then were killed.

At the moment of death, there was no pain on their faces, only the relief that came with their final awakening.

As the rating was upgraded to SS, the words from the copy introduction flashed through Qin Chuan’s mind.

"And now, the Cage Valley has a new meaning. It is the last salvation for the most evil people before they fall into despair."

An absurd thought suddenly came to my mind.

Is death in the Cage Valley redemption for the most ruthless and evil people?
if it is like this…

What a terrifying place is the Semia Abyss?

Looking at a stone passage not far ahead that was obviously opened later than the stone prison, Qin Chuan took a deep breath. During the battle just now, he noticed that those crazy prisoners were almost trying their best to stay away from the entrance of that passage, as if there was something there that made them extremely afraid.

He had a hunch that the other side of the passage was the Semia Abyss.

Holding the [Eternal Candle] tightly in his hand, Qin Chuan stepped into the passage step by step. The echoes of wailing and despair seemed to be sealed here forever, echoing in the entire passage for a long time.

After walking forward for several hundred meters, Qin Chuan was blocked by a hazy light film.

That's the boundary of the replica.

On the other side of the light film, the flashing blood light in the darkness illuminated a corner of the hell scene. A horrible creature looked over here, causing Qin Chuan's hair to stand on end instantly.

[Congratulations to the player for reaching the advanced strategy requirement: First Glimpse of the Abyss, the dungeon strategy rating has been upgraded to: SSS]

[Current Dungeon Strategy Rating: SSS]

After receiving the copy reward, Qin Chuan reappeared in the dormitory with a thoughtful look.

He originally thought that the Cage Valley, which was of the same B-level as the Demon Forest, would allow him to enter the Semia Abyss and gather the three treasures needed to use Krai's gift to mix the [Cleaning Spirit Water].

But he seemed to underestimate the difficulty of this matter.

And it is greatly underestimated.

With just a cursory glance, Qin Chuan could confirm that the Semia Abyss was a rather terrifying place.

If this is also a copy, then its level is definitely higher than A level.

"Krai." Qin Chuan's mind flashed with the woman with moon-blue skin and silver-white hair, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Isn't the cost of your cleansing water a bit too high?"
-

In the girls' dormitory on the other side, Lin Yue smiled as she listened to Zheng Xiaoyu and two other roommates chatting about interesting things that happened at the dormitory party, and finished eating the barbecue that she had packed for herself.

"The barbecue in that restaurant is really delicious." Lin Yue said seriously.

"Really?" Qiao Chang laughed. "I know you want it lighter, so I specifically asked them to use as little chili and cumin as possible."

"This is just right." Lin Yue stuck out her tongue and licked the remaining taste on her lips. "How much?"

"No need to split the bill, someone has already paid!" Song Yuxin laughed, "Qin Chuan secretly paid the bill."

Lin Yue memorized the name in her heart.

When you have the chance, say thank you to the other person.

After washing up, the four girls went to bed and chatted about gossip and each other's experiences until late at night.

When the dormitory became quiet, Lin Yue thought for a moment, then picked up her phone and sent a message.

There was a buzzing sound coming from the bed where her head was next to hers.

Zheng Xiaoyu turned on his cell phone.

[Lin Yue: After entering the dream world and seeing Luo, can you keep it a secret for me? ]

[Lin Yue: He is also in Yanda, but I don’t want him to know my situation for the time being.]

"Eh?" Zheng Xiaoyu's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but look up at Lin Yue, then put his head back on the pillow.

Got it! The vice president doesn’t want the president to know that he’s in a wheelchair!

After all, the vice president just mentioned that she should be able to walk normally in a while.

No wonder the vice president wears a mask to hide his identity.

She must keep her secrets to herself!
A look of determination appeared in Zheng Xiaoyu's eyes.

[Zheng Xiaoyu: No problem! ]
