Chapter 462: Release from Prison

Just as the players were busy eating, drinking, and occasionally teasing the tiger monster, footsteps were finally heard in the distance.

A huge jailer with horns on his head came over and said to them, "Who is in charge?"

“This, this!”

As soon as they saw that the plot process was completed, the players hurriedly pushed out the [Three-Year-Old Crawling to Guard the Tower] that triggered the task.

[Three-year-old crawling to guard the tower] He was frightened by the ugliness of the jailer and stammered, "W-what's the matter..."

"Oh, our king said that Du Guangguo has no grudges against your Taiyin Sect, so there is no need to lock you up here. But regarding the debt collection, are you really here to collect it?"

The jailer's voice was loud and deep, and combined with his extremely ugly appearance, it was really a bit scary.

[Three-year-old Crawling to Guard the Tower] simply closed his eyes and said, "Yes, yes, yes... It's a debt collection... That Bifang monster owes me fifty yuan! It's one month's salary for me!"

With his eyes closed, [Three-year-old Crawling to Guard the Tower] spoke more fluently, and was only thinking about his fifty dollars.

After all, even if the price of gold is not that high now, fifty yuan is equivalent to tens of thousands of RMB, which is indeed not a small amount!

"All right, all right," the jailer waved his hand impatiently. He sniffed and smelled the strong, mixed smell of food and spices in the prison. He frowned and said, "Then the rest of you can leave. Don't come to Duguang Country again. Human monks are not welcome here. As for you, come with me to find that Bifang. Take the money and get out of here! You've made a mess of this dungeon!"

Without waiting for [Three-year-old Crawling Guarding the Tower] to respond, Zheng Qian took a step forward, protected [Three-year-old Crawling Guarding the Tower] behind him, and said, "Hey! Big brother, don't be anxious!"

She handed the jailer a bag of popcorn chicken and continued, "Come and have a try, big brother. This is our Taiyin Sect's specialty snack, made with chicken!"

The jailer seemed to hesitate for a moment before taking the paper bag.

His throat rolled up and down, and he probably couldn't hold it any longer, so he reached out and picked up two fried chicken balls and stuffed them into his mouth, his eyes lighting up as he ate.

Afterwards, his attitude became much better. He squinted at Zheng Qian and said, "You are quite sensible! Okay, okay, let's go! This dungeon is not a good place!"

Zheng Qian said with a smile: "Hey, brother, don't worry, I want to ask, if we want to see King Du Guang, your king, is it possible?"

"To see our king!" The jailer was puzzled: "Why do you want to see our king?"

The other players followed suit and started talking at once:

"Of course we have to establish diplomatic relations! Hey? Although the mission only says that we are collecting debts, but since we are here, we have to establish diplomatic relations, right?"

"No, no, no, mainly I want to admire the heroic figure of King Du Guang!"

"Bullshit, I think you are just greedy for the mission reward! Put down your sword! This mission is clearly a prerequisite for opening the map, just to exercise your subjective initiative!"

The jailer was overwhelmed by the noisy voices, and he couldn't understand what was going on. He immediately yelled, "Silence!"

The huge roar made the other demon cultivators in the prison lie on the ground, trembling, as if they were extremely scared. The players' legs softened uncontrollably, and they fell to the ground one by one. One of them accidentally dropped the chicken wing because he couldn't hold it firmly. He immediately cried out in pain: "My chicken wing, wuwuwu!"

"Be quiet!"

The jailer shouted again, and this time, the status bar of all players showed the status of [Shocked], and they couldn't even utter a word!

Of course, the fact that the puppet body couldn't speak was none of the players' business, so everyone started discussing it more heatedly in the team channel -

“Holy crap! This NPC is awesome! Can it even apply group DEBUFF?!”

"Damn it! I'm being controlled! Ah, I haven't finished my milk tea yet!"

"Ah! This is a lousy plot, it's so long and boring! What a shitty plot!"

In the cell, seeing that the group of human cultivators had finally calmed down, the jailer nodded with satisfaction, opened the cell door, and slapped Zheng Qian, who was squatting on the ground, with his demonic power, and asked her, "What do you want from my king?"

Zheng Qian shuddered, regained the ability to control his limbs, climbed up, and quickly replied: "We, the Taiyin Sect, want to establish diplomatic relations with the Duguang Kingdom! We have already established diplomatic relations with the Kunlunqiu Dragon Clan and the Haizhongquanxian Clan, and the Chiyuan Cave also has a very good relationship with us. That's why I came here specifically to pay a visit to King Duguang!"

The jailer looked unconvinced: "You came to visit our king specifically? Didn't you say you were here to collect a debt?"

Zheng Qian coughed twice and said, "Ahem, we are here to pay a visit to King Du Guang and to help Junior Sister collect her debt!"

"Duguang Country does not welcome human cultivators, and does not need to have any contact with human cultivator sects!" The jailer said coldly: "I will take you to get back the money Bifang owes you, and you can leave quickly!"

Zheng Qian saw that she couldn't convince the jailer, and the plot didn't go as she imagined, so she got angry immediately: "Hey, hey, hey, don't, don't! Don't be prejudiced against our Taiyin Sect! Our Taiyin Sect is different from other human sects! We are all equal! Humans and demons are equal! And there are so many demon cultivators who have settled in our Taiyin Sect! Look at this popcorn you are eating, isn't it delicious? If you establish diplomatic relations with our Taiyin Sect, you can buy it every day! It's so cool!"

As he was trying to persuade her, the jailer shouted, "Stop! Where are you going?!"

Then, he grabbed a player who was trying to sneak out of the dungeon and stared at him viciously.

"Ah, this, I, you,"

The player was confused. He first muttered, "I clearly ran past him from behind, how come I was still detected?", and then muttered, "This crappy game AI is too smart", before trying to argue, "Didn't you tell us to get out of here quickly? I'm not, I'm not following your instructions and leaving quickly..."

The jailer was stunned. Although it sounded like there was nothing wrong with what he said, he still felt it was a bit strange and deviated from what he originally meant. He put down the human cultivator in his hand and patiently explained, "I mean, I will send you out of Duguang Country in a while, and then you can leave. The roads in Duguang Country are complicated. If you rush out randomly, you might get lost and unable to get out!"

The player just made up an excuse for his attempt to "escape from prison", so even though the jailer explained it seriously, he just nodded absentmindedly, acting like a well-behaved child. Instead, he complained in the team channel: "Why do I feel that this NPC is so stupid? Are all demon cultivators so stupid?"

A player followed up with a comment: "It seems so. Anyway, most of the demon cultivators in Chang'an City are not very smart..."

Another player complained: "Come on! The demon cultivators in Huhu Leisure Bar in Gugu Chicken City are even more stupid. They always burn the small cakes I order!"

The other players immediately questioned, "So do you still go there often?"

The player confidently commented: "Ahem, anyway, it's for petting the fox, not for eating the cake... Besides, I specifically ordered them to make the cake for me in the form of a fox. I guess Fury is a control freak!"

Many players condemned——

"Ah! Unscrupulous customer!"

"You are greedy for my hairy body! Draw your sword!"
