When Slane saw Zhan Chen coming to see him, he smiled and said, "Zhan Chen, are you still used to it these days?"
Zhan Chen shook his head and said, "Brother, I feel very bad. Do you feel better when you see those compatriots suffering every day?"
Slaine sighed and said: "I understand your mood, but is this something we can change? Even if we don't want to see it, some things will happen. You have too little experience, so this will still happen.
This idea. For us adventurers, there are no good or evil tasks, only tasks with more rewards or less rewards, high risks or low risks. If we don’t earn the money, there will be people who will compete for it.”
Zhan Chen didn't say anything. Any further entanglement on this matter would only make the two of them unhappy. He and Slane had different philosophies.
Slaine also seemed to see Zhan Chen's dissatisfaction and said, "Don't worry, Zhan Chen. We only need to work here for three years. After three years, we will leave immediately after taking the money to do some more enjoyable tasks.
I also don’t like staying in that dark dungeon every day.”
"I still have things to go first." Zhan Chen said.
"All right."
After Zhan Chen left, he went back to rest, but when he returned to his room, he was called to his office by Kutono.
Zhan Chen saluted Kutono and asked, "I wonder why you called me here today?"
Kutono frowned and said: "Zhan Chen, I came to you because we are temporarily short of manpower here, and we may have to assign you a more difficult task. I have told several other people before."
"Oh, we are short of manpower here, what's going on?"
"It's very simple. A group of people don't want to work anymore, so they apply to leave. We can't find suitable candidates for the time being, so we want you with low cultivation to temporarily take over. Don't worry, there won't be any problems during this period.
Lasted too long.”
"Please give me your orders. Since I am working here, I have to listen to your orders."
Kutono nodded and said: "Very good. From today on, you will be responsible for patrolling the ninth floor of the dungeon."
"The ninth floor of the dungeon!" Zhan Chen's eyelids twitched. The ninth floor of the dungeon is an incredible place. It is said that strong men in the stellar realm are also imprisoned there.
Kutono hurriedly explained: "Zhan Chen, I'm really sorry for arranging such a job for you, but I can't help it. I can't spare the manpower at the moment."
Zhan Chen didn't know why Kutono made such an arrangement. In fact, there were many cultivators here who were stronger than him, but he had no choice but to obey the arrangement and said, "Yes, I will try my best to complete the task."
"Haha, good, as long as you understand, you can go back and rest now," Kutono said.
Zhan Chen turned around and left the room. When he left, he was still thinking about why Kutono chose him, but it was obvious that this was a job that no one wanted to do. The deeper you go, the stronger the slaves are and the more difficult they are to serve.
But the money received for completing the work is the same. It is possible that someone bribed Kutono, so that Kutono would choose himself, a person who usually doesn't like him very much, to go to the ninth floor.
However, this suited Zhan Chen's wishes, because he had long been curious about the situation deep in the dungeon. He had always heard others talk about it, but he had never really seen what was going on inside.
The next day, Zhan Chen came to the door of the ninth floor but found that the door of the ninth floor was tightly closed. There were seals on the door, which looked very mysterious. There were already many people waiting here, Zhan Chen
He discovered that there were several people in the crowd who had the same cultivation level as him, and there was even a strong man with a four-star earth-star realm among them.
This was absolutely unimaginable in the past. It can be seen that there are indeed so many adventurers launched this time that Kutono had to arrange for them to take their place with low-level cultivation.
Soon after, Zhan Chen saw Kutono coming. He still had the key to open the door. The ninth floor was the top priority of the prison, so he had always supervised it personally. As for the tenth floor, he heard that
It is guarded by three strong men from the stellar realm, and even Kutono has no right to intervene.
I saw Kutono press the key on the door, and the door automatically opened to reveal the world inside. Zhan Chen saw that it was actually a transmission channel, which showed that the space on the ninth floor was probably beyond his imagination.
Sure enough, when Zhan Chen stepped through the gate, he saw another world. There was no gloomy prison here, but instead there were closed pyramid-shaped buildings. There were five hundred of them, and the distance between each pyramid was nearly 100 meters.
km.
Seeing this scene, Zhan Chen was very curious and couldn't help but ask Kutono: "Leader, I see why the distance between the buildings here is so big?"
Kutono replied: "This is purely for safety reasons. The slaves imprisoned on the ninth floor are all very powerful. Although the pyramid we built has a good isolation effect, in order to prevent them from colluding with each other,
We still arrange the distance between each building as far as possible.”
Zhan Chen seemed to understand this. He looked around again and found that the environment on the ninth floor was simply great. There was a man-made world, sun, woods, and streams. It was completely suitable for recuperation. He also talked about
: “The environment here is really nice, completely different from the level above.”
Kutono smiled and said: "So the job I arranged for you is a good job, and you have to thank me."
"Yes, thank you very much, leader." Zhan Chen replied, but he didn't think so in his heart. Anyone imprisoned here could kill him tens of thousands of times.
"Zhan Chen, but your task here is much more difficult than at the level above. You are responsible for checking the restrictions around the building every day. This is the top priority. If something goes wrong, you have to bear the primary responsibility.
"
"My subordinate understands."
Kutono nodded, turned his head and said to everyone: "Listen up, everyone, because several of our people have left and some new people have been added, so I want to redistribute your lump sum area, and I will come to check often.
If anyone has a problem with your work, his star stone will be gone this month, do you understand?"
"I understand!" everyone replied.
Next, Kutono assigned the responsibility area to Zhan Chen and others. Zhan Chen was assigned to twenty pyramids, which means that his daily job now is to carefully check the seals around the pyramids, including of course the seals inside the towers.
situation. Therefore, Zhan Chen had the opportunity to come into contact with those peak stellar realm powerhouses.
Zhan Chen was full of curiosity about these powerful men. After quickly checking the sealing situation of a pyramid, he immediately entered the interior of the pyramid. The interior of the pyramid seemed very spacious and gorgeously decorated, just like a cathedral. But
He felt a powerful restraining force from the surrounding space.
This restriction was so powerful that Zhan Chen had the illusion that he was back to his childhood before he started practicing. He glanced at the center of the space, where a strong foreigner was kneeling.
His body has been wrapped with heavy shackles, like a rice dumpling, and he cannot move at all.
Even so, Zhan Chen still felt a vague wave from his body. The wave was as deep as the sea and made people shudder. Zhan Chen's heartbeat began to accelerate, and he stood there unable to move for a long time.
The strong man glanced at Zhan Chen casually, like an ant scanning the ground, showing no interest in him at all.
After a while, Zhan Chen came back to his senses. He cheered up and began to walk around the strong man. He used his spiritual mind to check the restrictions around him. After confirming that there was no damage, he exited the pyramid.
When he got outside, he breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "A strong person in the stellar realm is really scary, but I once met Master Aicai in Ruyi Nebula, but he didn't have as strong murderous aura as the strong person in the stellar realm just now."
Shaking his head, he started to inspect the next pyramid. It took him half a day to complete the inspection. In the twenty pyramids he was responsible for, nine one-star star realm experts were imprisoned, and the others were all nine-star earth stars.
However, what surprised Zhan Chen was that only one of these twenty strong men was from the human race, and most of them were from the demon race.
These strong men seemed to disdain him as a guard. The only one who was from the same clan as him was the star realm strongman who had been observing him but never said a word to him.
Naturally, Zhan Chen would not come forward to strike up a conversation. After checking the prohibitions, he quickly left and then went to check the next pyramid. In this way, his first day on duty on the ninth floor went smoothly.
Then nothing happened in the next three months, but he gradually became familiar with the slaves.
One day, as usual, he began to check the restrictions on his fellow human race. That fellow race suddenly spoke and asked: "Boy, what's your name?"
Zhan Chen told him, and he began to introduce himself. It turned out that his name was Senas 6 Bruns. He was a strong man in the one-star realm. He was defeated by Batulu in an adventure. He did not kill him.
He wanted to kill himself, but evilly planted a restriction in his soul, and then wanted to find an opportunity to sell himself as a high-priced slave.
After listening to his story, Zhan Chen frowned and said, "It turns out that Batulu is also in the business of robbing families and homes."
Bruns immediately said: "That guy is a robber in the guise of a businessman. He has twenty-three thieves groups under his banner, specializing in this kind of thing. It was my bad luck that I fell into his hands."
"Senior is a strong person in the Star Realm. Isn't it possible that he can't escape?"
"There is no other way. The strongest will always have the strongest, and I have just entered the star realm for the first time, so naturally I cannot be their opponent. Now that my soul is restrained in Batulu's hands, I naturally dare not resist."
"I heard that the restriction will become invalid as long as you are far enough away?"
Bruns shook his head and said: "No, the induction power of a strong person in the star realm is very powerful. If my restriction is in the hands of others, I can naturally escape. But Batulu is a strong person in the three-star star realm. Once I leave,
