Huai Fengyu broke the dungeon door lock with one palm, broke in, and killed all the dungeon guards together with the other chosen ones.
Chen Xuan quickly took a look at the dungeon environment and saw many martial arts figures imprisoned in dark and damp cages. They were all haggard, with bloodless faces, and some looked like they had only one breath left.
In addition, there were various torture instruments placed in the dungeon. The torture instruments were stained with blood and looked shocking.
"Dear heroes, we are here to save people, please don't panic!"
As soon as Huai Fengyu finished speaking, he walked to the nearest cage first, broke the lock and rescued a middle-aged female hero inside.
A column of text popped up on the orange crystal star mark: "Huai Fengyu rescued a righteous master and rewarded him with ten good deeds."
Chen Xuan also quickly rescued other martial arts people in cages. In the end, each of the chosen ones rescued three upright masters, and each was rewarded with thirty good deeds.
However, Chen Xuan killed Duan Chang before, and his total good deeds were forty.
Even so, Chen Xuan still felt that it was too little. Even if he could complete the main task ahead of schedule, he would only get ninety good deeds at most from this trip to the Star God Space.
You have to find a way to trigger hidden tasks.
At this moment, Chen Xuan and Huai Fengyu's eyes were all attracted to the underground lake in the innermost part of the dungeon.
This small underground lake actually houses a waterwheel that pumps water.
A man with disheveled hair was tied to the axle of the waterwheel, with dozens of thick chains wrapped around his body. Two lock hooks were deeply embedded in the pipa bone. The wound had been soaked in water for a long time and corroded. It was unknown how long he had been tortured.
Chen Xuan was moved when he saw this. He vaguely felt that this prisoner was different from other martial arts people.
Just based on the fact that this person's pipa bone was pierced, tied to a water tanker, and severely tortured, you can judge that this person's identity is of great importance in the martial arts world.
Chen Xuan could see it, and so could Huai Fengyu and the others.
"Is there any hidden mission in this dungeon?"
Yi Xuan was not surprised but overjoyed. Even without the reminder from the star spirit Xiao Xi, he, Tai Zhen and others had already thought about the so-called hidden mission.
Therefore, the nine chosen ones did not rush to rescue the righteous masters, but slowly approached the underground lake.
But this time everyone learned the lesson and didn't immediately go to rescue the mysterious man tied to the water tanker. There might be some powerful mechanism arranged around him.
Huai Fengyu's mind changed and he felt that these martial arts people had extraordinary status and could get information from them. He immediately politely asked the middle-aged heroine just now: "Excuse me, senior, who is tied to the water tanker?"
Do you know any seniors from which sect?"
"I don't know this person."
The middle-aged heroine shook her head.
Other heroes also gave the same answer.
This actually aroused the curiosity and expectation of all the chosen ones.
The more mysterious the identity of the man tied to the waterwheel, the more likely it is that he is involved in a hidden mission. Correspondingly, the reward will definitely be very generous.
Chen Xuan frowned slightly: "Dear heroes, do you know how long he has been locked up here?"
"This man has been here since before we were imprisoned in the dungeon."
Hearing such an answer, Chen Xuan wondered in his heart, the people they rescued were all well-known figures in the martial arts world, people with broad knowledge and knowledge that even the heroes could not recognize. What would be their identities?
"Maybe he's from the Earthfire Castle. If he's not an upright expert, it's better to kill him directly."
Yi Xuan made a counter guess, and as he approached the waterwheel while speaking, he had to take action first.
He felt that if he guessed correctly, killing a high-status person in Earthfire Castle might give him more rewards than killing an elder.
The moment Yi Xuan took out his palm, the mysterious man who seemed to have fainted suddenly raised his head and let out a deafening roar! Yi Xuan grunted, blood spurted from his nose, and he flew backwards, suffering internal injuries from the shock.
Huai Fengyu and the others also felt dizzy and unsteady, and Liu Yan even vomited directly.
"It's the best lion's roar skill!"
A martial arts hero said in shock and staggered away.
Chen Xuan's strength was limited to the level of a first-class master, and he could not withstand such a terrifying sound killing technique, so he could only quickly exit the dungeon like everyone else.
However, Chen Xuan finally turned his head and took a look at the mysterious man. He could see that the man's chin, neck and chest were an abnormal blue color.
Poisoned?
For a moment, Chen Xuan thought of the antidote.
If I can find the antidote in the Earthfire Castle and give it to this mysterious man, can it be considered as completing a hidden mission?
At this time, Yixuan was lucky enough to save his life and escaped with everyone else, covering his chest to endure the severe pain.
"Fellow Daoist Yixuan, are you okay?
The Evil Emperor seems to know medical skills, do you want him to treat you?"
Liu Yan said this without thinking at all, and she didn't want to think about how Yixuan mocked Chen Xuan along the way.
"Hmph, who doesn't know the medical skills in the secular world?
Do I need Chen Xuan’s help with treatment?”
As he spoke, Yixuan tapped several acupuncture points on his body to barely stabilize his injuries.
Chen Xuan had no intention of taking action in the first place. This little Taoist priest just brought it upon himself.
But having said that, these chosen ones are indeed proficient in medical skills. They were shot by poison-quenching concealed weapons just now, and they used their own energy to detoxify them.
"The mysterious man inside is very powerful. I guess he is a top expert. He is not easy to mess with. I'd better not go in again."
Huai Fengyu said this, but in his heart he thought that if he had a chance, he would sneak back alone to see if he could trigger any hidden tasks.
The other Chosen Ones also had the same idea.
"Dear heroes, there are rumors in the world that you were captured to refine the so-called Blood Nightmare Pill. Why did the Earth Fire Castle keep you alive?"
After Taizhen asked this question, a middle-aged man with a gentlemanly temperament replied: "They just extract the blood from our bodies to make elixirs, treat us as a long-term blood bank, and kill us when we are no longer useful."
"In that case, do you know what the Blood Nightmare Pill has?"
Ask again in Tai Town.
"We don't know this clearly. We only know that the purpose of refining the Blood Nightmare Pill is to hold the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony."
"Seniors, please leave quickly through the secret passage of Earth Fire Castle. There will be no guards blocking you along the way."
Huai Fengyu was eager to complete the main task and did not want to waste time escorting these weak righteous masters out, so he dismissed it with one sentence.
Then he said to the other chosen ones: "If you want to find out where the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony is held with me, act immediately!"
No one raised any objection, so the group continued deeper and found an underground stone temple after twists and turns.
Chen Xuan restrained his breath and looked around. In the brightly lit stone hall, he saw hundreds of figures in black costumes performing some kind of ritual, kneeling or dancing, murmuring words, like Taoist priests doing it, or like folk dancing masters.
There was a man in the middle wearing a gorgeous robe, with long hair disheveled, and a pair of eyes with a hint of madness. He held up a blood-red pellet, crushed it and oozed thick blood, and swayed it out. The people kneeling around him opened their mouths to catch it, like a group of demons dancing wildly!
