Chapter 1290: Deep
When Slane saw Zhan Chen coming to him, he smiled and said, "Zhan Chen, I feel like I'm still used to these days, right?"
Zhan Chen shook his head and said, "Big brother, I think it's very bad, do you feel good when you watch those compatriots suffer every day?"
Slane sighed and said, "I understand your feelings, but is this something we can change? Even if we don't want to see it, some things will happen, and you've experienced too little, so you still have this kind of thought." For us adventurers, there are no righteous or evil tasks, only tasks that pay more or less, high or low risk, and if we don't earn this money, there will be people who will rush to grab it. ”
Zhan Chen didn't say anything, and dwelling on this matter would only make the two unhappy, he and Slane had different ideas.
Slane also seemed to see Zhan Chen's dissatisfaction, and said: "Zhan Chen, don't worry, as long as we work here for three years, after three years, we will leave immediately after taking the money to do some happy tasks, and I don't like to stay in that gloomy dungeon every day." ”
"I have something to go first. Zhan Chen said.
"Okay. ”
Zhan Chen went back to rest after leaving, but when he returned to his room, he was called to his office by Kutono.
Zhan Chen saluted to Kutono and asked, "I wonder what you called me here today?"
Kutonno frowned and said, "Zhan Chen, I came to you because we are temporarily short of manpower here, and we may have to arrange more difficult tasks for you, I have also told several other people before." ”
"Oh, we're understaffed here, what's the situation?"
"It's very simple, a group of people don't want to do it, so they apply to leave, and we can't find a suitable candidate for the time being, so we want you low-cultivation people to go up temporarily, don't worry, this period won't last too long. ”
"Please, since I'm working here, I'll have to do at your disposal. ”
Kutonno nodded, "Very good, from today onwards, you will be in charge of patrolling the ninth floor of the dungeon." ”
"The ninth floor of the dungeon!" Zhan Chen's eyelids jumped, the ninth floor of the dungeon was a terrible place, and it was said that there were still stellar realm powerhouses imprisoned there.
Kutonno hurriedly explained: "Zhan Chen, I'm really sorry to arrange such a job for you, but I can't help it, and I can't spare manpower for a while." ”
Zhan Chen didn't know why Kutono had arranged it like this, in fact, there were more cultivators here who were more powerful than him, but he had to follow the arrangement and said, "Yes, I will try my best to complete the task." ”
"Haha, that's good, you can understand, now you can go back and rest. Cutonno said.
Zhan Chen turned around and left the room, when he left, he was still thinking about why Kutonno would choose him, but it was obvious that this was a job that no one wanted to do, the deeper he went, the stronger the imprisoned slaves became, and the more difficult it was to serve, but the money he received for completing the work was the same, it was probably someone who bribed Kutono, and Kutonno would choose himself, a person who usually didn't bother him, to go to the ninth layer.
However, this also fulfilled Zhan Chen's wishes, because he had long been curious about the situation in the depths of the dungeon, and he had always heard others talk about it before, but he had never really seen the situation inside.
The next day, Zhan Chen came to the door of the ninth floor but found that the door of the ninth floor was closed, and the gate was blessed with seals, which looked very mysterious. There were already quite a few people waiting here, and Zhan Chen found that there were still a few people in the crowd who cultivated the same as himself, and there was even a strong person with a four-star earth and star realm cultivation.
This was unthinkable in the past, and it can be seen that there are indeed so many adventurers launched this time that Coutonno has to arrange for them to be replaced by those who are low-cultivation.
Soon after, Zhan Chen saw Kutono coming, he still had the key to open the door in his hand, and the ninth floor was the most important thing in this prison, so he had always supervised it personally. As for the tenth layer, I heard that it was guarded by three stellar realm powerhouses, and even Coutonno had no right to interfere.
I saw Coutonno press the key on the door, and the door automatically opened, revealing the world inside. Zhan Chen saw that it was actually a teleportation channel, and it could be seen that the space on the ninth layer was probably beyond his imagination.
Sure enough, when Zhan Chen stepped through the gate, he saw another world, where there were no gloomy cages, but instead closed pyramid-shaped buildings, there were five hundred, and the distance between each pyramid was nearly a kilometer.
Seeing this scene, Zhan Chen felt very curious, and couldn't help but ask Kutono: "Team leader, why do I see that the distance between the buildings here is so big?"
"This is purely for security reasons, the slaves held on the ninth floor are all very powerful, and although the pyramids we have built have a good isolation effect, in order to prevent them from colluding with each other, we have arranged the distance between each building as far as possible. ”
Zhan Chen didn't seem to understand this, he looked around again, and found that the environment of this ninth layer was simply too good, there was a man-made heaven and earth, the sun, the woods, and the stream, which were completely suitable for recuperation, and said: "The environment here is really good, it is completely different from the level above. ”
Kutonno smiled: "So I arranged a beautiful job for you, and you have to thank me." ”
"Yes, thank you team leader. Zhan Chen replied, but he didn't think so in his heart, any one of the imprisoned beings here could destroy himself tens of thousands of times.
"Zhan Chen, but your task here is much more arduous than the level above, you have to be responsible for checking the prohibitions placed around the building every day, this is the most important thing, once something goes wrong, you have to bear the primary responsibility. ”
"The subordinates understand. ”
Kutonno nodded, he turned to the crowd and said, "Listen, everyone, because we have a few people left, and some new people have been added, so I am going to reassign your lump sum area, and I will come to check your work often, whoever has a problem, his star stone will be gone this month, understand?"
"Understood!" replied.
Next, Kutono assigned a dry area for Zhan Chen and the others, and Zhan Chen was assigned to twenty pyramids, which means that his daily work now is to carefully check the seals around the pyramids, including the situation inside the towers, of course. Therefore, Zhan Chen was able to have the opportunity to contact those peak stellar realm powerhouses.
Zhan Chen was full of curiosity about these powerhouses, and after quickly checking the sealing of a pyramid, he immediately entered the interior of the pyramid, the interior of the pyramid appeared to be very spacious and gorgeously decorated, like a cathedral, but he felt a strong forbidden force from the surrounding space.
This prohibition was so powerful that Zhan Chen had the illusion that he was like returning to his childhood before he began to cultivate, and he hit his gaze at the center of the space, where there was a strong man of an alien race kneeling, his body had been wrapped in heavy shackles, like making zongzi, and he couldn't move at all.
Even so, Zhan Chen still felt a faint fluctuation from his body, which was like an abyss and a sea, which made people shudder. Zhan Chen's heartbeat began to speed up, and he couldn't move for a while while standing in place.
The strong man glanced at Zhan Chen casually, like an ant sweeping the ground, not interested in him at all.
After a while, Zhan Chen came back to his senses, shook his spirit and began to walk around the strong man, checked the prohibitions attached to him with his divine thoughts, and only after confirming that there was no damage, did he exit the pyramid, and only when he got outside did he breathe a sigh of relief, and sighed: "The stellar realm powerhouse is really terrifying, but I once met the love wealth real person in the Ruyi Nebula, but he didn't have the murderous aura that the stellar realm powerhouse just now." ”
Shaking his head, he began to inspect the next pyramid again, it took half a day to complete the inspection work, among the twenty pyramids he was in charge of, nine one-star star realm powerhouses were imprisoned, and the others were nine-star earth star realm powerhouses, but to Zhan Chen's surprise, only one of these twenty powerhouses was a human race, and most of them were demon clan powerhouses.
These powerhouses all seemed to be disdainful of him as a guard, except for the stellar realm powerhouse of his clan, who had been observing him, but had never said a word to him.
Zhan Chen naturally didn't come forward to talk, he quickly left after checking the prohibition, and then went to check the next pyramid. In this way, his first day on duty on the ninth floor was spent in peace.
And then for the next three months there were no accidents, but he gradually became familiar with the slaves.
One day, as is customary, he began to check the forbidden blessings on his fellow Terran, and the fellow suddenly spoke up and asked, "Boy, what's your name?"
Zhan Chen told him, and he began to introduce himself again, it turned out that his name was Senas Bruns, a one-star star realm powerhouse, he was defeated by Baturu in an adventure, he did not kill himself, but evilly planted a ban in his soul, and then wanted to find a chance to sell himself as a high-priced slave.
Hearing what he said, Zhan Chen frowned and said, "It turns out that Baturu is also engaged in the business of robbing homes and houses. ”
Bruns immediately said: "That guy is a robber in the guise of a merchant, and he has twenty-three thieves under his banner who specialize in this business, and I was unlucky enough to fall into his hands. ”
"The predecessors are stellar realm powerhouses, can't they escape?"
"There's no way, the strong have their own strong players, and I've just entered the stellar realm, so naturally I can't be their opponent. Now that my soul ban is in Baturu's hands, I naturally don't dare to resist. ”
"I've heard that bans expire if they are far enough away?"
Bruns shook his head and said, "No, the stellar realm powerhouse has a very strong sense of induction, if my prohibition is in the hands of others, I can naturally get out, but Baturu is a three-star stellar realm powerhouse, once I leave, he will be able to sense it immediately." ”
