The flames in the furnace in the center of the clearing gradually extinguished, the large machinery nearby stopped operating, and the steam gradually dissipated.
Su Xiao doesn't know what role these machines have, but destroying this place may be beneficial to future operations.
With the sharpness of the Dragon-Slaying Flash, it was no problem to destroy these machines. Soon, the steel machines in the open space were severely damaged.
Looking around, Su Xiao found an elevator in the corner of the open space. The elevator looked old and had a simple structure. It had only a metal frame and was suspended by a wire rope. It was somewhat similar to an elevator. .
Except for this elevator, there is no other route in the open space. Su Xiao entered the elevator, followed closely by Bubutni and the little emperor.
There was a wrench in the elevator. Su Xiao exerted only a little force, and there was a click. The elevator vibrated first, and the sound of the operating mechanism came from the surroundings. After a few seconds, the elevator slowly rose.
Creak, creak...
The sound of metal friction was very harsh. Although the elevator could be used barely, Su Xiao felt that it would fall apart at any time, and Bubotni was frightened. Leaning on his lap.
As the elevator ascends, the surrounding scene changes, from black stone walls to metal texture.
Click!
The elevator suddenly sank, and Su Xiao's center of gravity was downward to keep her body steady.
After a few seconds, the elevator returned to normal and continued to rise slowly.
The bottom is already bottomless. If the lift fails at this time, it will be a big trouble.
Fortunately, although this elevator looks ugly, it is actually extremely strong and has never malfunctioned since.
The elevator stopped after a few minutes and rose probably hundreds of meters. This was undoubtedly good news. Su Xiao was closer to the ground.
The outside of the elevator resembles a large factory. The factory looks a bit old and has a large area. The factory is divided into compartments, forming many corridors, which are intricately intertwined.
When you enter the large factory, you will see a row of test tubes several meters high. The test tubes are filled with strange animals, most of which are dangerous species. Occasionally, humans can be seen.
These dangerous species or humans look strange. Some dangerous species have two heads, and some have more than a dozen hands.
These extra body tissues have traces of being sutured, and some are simply connected with metal, and rivets can also be seen.
These dangerous species have no breath of life and are quietly soaked in the solution.
"Which direction to go next."
Su Xiao walked into the factory and needed the little emperor's guidance.
"Probably in that direction."
The little emperor pointed to the right.
"Probably?"
"My intuition disappeared at this point."
Su Xiao looked at the little emperor with burning eyes, and the little emperor continued to Take a few steps back.
"I didn't lie this time."
"..."
After hesitating for a while, Su Xiao pointed out to the little emperordirection, there is no other choice now.
After walking in the factory for a while, Su Xiao suddenly heard footsteps in the distance, but she did not feel that there was any creature approaching, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Su Xiao glanced around quickly. There were many compartments separated by iron plates nearby. After choosing one at random, Su Xiao opened the door and entered.
In fact, not only did the little emperor's intuition disappear, Su Xiao's perception was also greatly weakened here. Something was suppressing his perception, and his range of perception was reduced to less than two meters.
In the compartment is a small laboratory with a large number of instruments and test tubes. This should be the place where the alchemist works.
As soon as he entered the compartment, Su Xiao's pupils tightened, and he held the Dragon Slayer Flash tightly in preparation for battle.
There is a strange caveman in the compartment. The reason why it is strange is that this caveman is wearing a yellowed white coat, one arm is made of metal, and he is holding a test tube in his hand. Debugging something in front of the test bench.
The two sides looked at each other, and the caveman looked at Su Xiao in surprise, neither attacking nor shouting.
"Humans on the ground?"
It's strange that the caveman speaks human language, but the tone is a bit strange.
"Yes."
Su Xiao's forward movement stopped. He didn't know the origin of the other party. There was an unknown enemy approaching outside the compartment. If the cave man suddenly shouted, he would be killed. Too bad.
The current situation was a bit unexpected. The caveman was looking at him with joy on his face.
"Humans... finally humans have come here, it's great."
The strange cave man put down the test tube on his finger and looked at Su Xiao and others up and down.
The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, and the face of the cave man changed strangely.
"Shh, don't make a sound."
Su Xiao was stunned. The other person seemed to be afraid that the creatures outside would find him.
"There are patrol troops outside, you are no match, believe me."
The strange cave man ran towards the door, Su Xiao stepped back a few steps, the origin of the other party was unknown, he must cautious.
The strange caveman closed the door of the compartment tightly, and was very afraid that Su Xiao and others would be discovered.
The footsteps outside gradually faded away, and the strange caveman let out a long sigh of relief.
"Humans...Humans on the ground, hahaha, great, I finally have a chance to go out, I can finally leave this hellish place. It has been six hundred years, and I have been trapped in this hellish place for the whole time. Six hundred and thirty-one years, five months and seven days."
The strange caveman began to cry bitterly as he spoke.
"Hello, noble humans, my name is Sherlock. I was created by an alchemist who deserves death to help him complete his nonsense research."
Strangely The attitude of the cave man, that is, Sherlock, was very enthusiastic. It seemed that meeting Su Xiao and others was a great thing, but those big eyes that rolled around meant that this guy had a high IQ and had a plan.
“Noble human beings can take the liberty to askWhere are you entering here? Is it the direction of the sacrificial hall or the door of alchemy? ”
Sherlock’s eyes were full of expectations.
Su Xiao secretly thought in her heart that the caveman named Sherlock should really want to leave here. Obviously, this is an alchemical creature.
If Sherlock's words are true, then the other party has existed for hundreds of years, and the caveman's lifespan is only thirty years, except for being transformed into an alchemical creature. Other possibilities.
One of Sherlock's arms is made of metal, and the sheen of metal can be faintly seen in the collar.
An alchemical creature that is eager to leave here has been living here for a few years. He must have known this place well for a hundred years. A smile appeared on Su Xiao's face. The little emperor may no longer be important.
"We are coming from the direction of the sacrificial hall. "
"Tu Baba, afraid of Art... (unknown language)"
Sherlock cursed a few times in the language of the cavemen, and the fire of hope in his eyes extinguished.
p>
"Isn't there an emergency passage here? Why don't you leave from there. "
Su Xiao sheathed the Dragon-Slaying Flash. Sherlock was not very strong and could solve it within a minute with his bare hands.
"Emergency passages can only be used by the royal family. Alchemy creatures... will be abandoned after being used, damn the alchemists, the royal family must die a good death. "
Sherlock's metal arm clenched and made a rattling sound.
"Sherlock, come here. ”
Su Xiao called Sherlock to a corner. Although the other party’s purpose was not completely confirmed, the statement that he wanted to leave here was very credible. As for his personality, he was extremely cunning.
p>Compared to the little emperor who often plays tricks but is actually a bit stupid, Su Xiao is more willing to cooperate with Sherlock
When he came to the corner, Su Xiao whispered to Sherlock: < /p>
“My name is Bai Ye, and my purpose is to leave here. Let’s leave together. "
Sherlock rubbed his chin with his hand, glanced at Su Xiao, and said in a low voice:
"Then we have the same purpose, but the big hole in the sacrificial hall is at least several hundred meters high. , it’s easy to get in and won’t touch any mechanism, but it’s very difficult to get out from there. There are hundreds of various mechanisms, even if you can fly. "
At this point, Sherlock sighed.
"I have been trapped here for hundreds of years. I know how wonderful the outside world is. You can understand this pain. ?. "
Su Xiao patted Sherlock on the shoulder.
"What a tragic experience. What did you mean when you said that only the royal family can use the emergency passage. ”
“Well, the door to the emergency passage was originally made by the royal family’s order alchemist. That door can use a special method to check the bloodline of the person who opens it. That door is actually an alchemy creature without intelligence. The materials include fine gold, Karmarson circuit, Bayachina element..."
Sherlock kept talking, this guy's alchemy level is not low, after all, he has been trapped here for hundreds of years..
"Stop, I don't understand. Generally speaking, people from the royal family can open that door?"
"Yes, but that's not right either. The royal bloodline is the key to activating that door." I know how to open the door later, but what's the use?"
Su Xiao was secretly happy, with a calm expression on her face, Sherlock was much more reliable than the little emperor.
"That little brat, did you see it?"
"Who is he?"
"A direct member of the royal family."
< p>Sherlock was stunned, his eyes widened, a look of ecstasy on his face, but the hatred in his eyes was undisguised."Friend, I must be your most reliable partner, let's go out together."
Sherlock was so excited that he was trembling.
"Okay, let's go out together."
Su Xiao and Sherlock looked sideways at the little emperor, who instinctively took a few steps back.
