Chapter 28 The Trapped Man
When Lu Yi opened the door, Canaan was squatting outside his door with his back hunched and looking stealthy.
He was confused by Canaan's actions and tilted his head to ask, "What are you doing?"
Canaan was dressed in black, with a cloak covering his hair and face.
If it weren't for the slightly exposed red hair, he wouldn't have recognized the person in front of him at first glance.
Jianan pointed at some passers-by who were staring at him eagerly and said woodenly, "Can't you see? I'm autistic. I was almost beaten by your suitor at your door just now..."
Thinking that Canaan was such an honest and sincere person, he never expected that the first time he was almost beaten up in the academy was because he was mistaken for a dirty peeping man.
Although his clothes were indeed a little strange, Canaan firmly believed that this was not the reason why those people targeted him.
I'm just jealous that he knows Lu Yi and can wait for him at Lu Yi's door!
"Why don't I know of any suitors?" Lu Yi asked puzzledly.
Although he did see some interesting food at the door from time to time, no one put anything there anymore after Lu Yi deliberately ignored it every time.
Canaan smiled reluctantly, "Not only do I know that you have many suitors, I'm also planning on joining your fan club at Bryside."
"What is that..." Lu Yi was speechless when he heard that.
"What is that?" Canaan stood up, "This is something good!"
"Do you know the respective percentages of mom fans, only fans, lover fans, romantic fans, male fans, and female fans?! No matter what the reason is, when such a large group of people come together, it becomes a force that cannot be underestimated!" Canaan's voice was loud and clear.
"What student union, what twelve seats? They are not as united as Lu Yi Braceside's official designated support group! We beat up Xia from St. Dover next door and Lu Wilton from Lasvino in the southern suburbs! Lu Yi is undoubtedly the best in the contemporary world!"
The more Lu Yi listened, the more confused he became, so he just assumed he was talking nonsense and grabbed his cloak and walked forward.
"Hurry up and lead the way. Where is the entrance to the back mountain?"
As Lu Yi spoke, he put on his cloak.
His blond hair was a bit eye-catching, which was far less convenient than wearing a cloak.
After all, there are many student teams in the college who often take on commissioned tasks both inside and outside the school, so cloaks and casual clothes are common.
The only reason Canaan was noticed was because he parked outside Lu Yi's house.
Ever since Lu Yi moved here, even the originally sparse flow of people here has increased.
"Here, here, just follow me."
Canaan pulled his cloak out of Lu Yi's hand, only to find that the people around him were looking at him with even more dissatisfaction.
After wandering around for a while, they finally escaped from attention and got back on track.
Lu Yi usually doesn't hang around the Braceside campus, and most of the times he has never walked on the roads that Canaan took him.
It was amazing that Canaan, who was also a freshman, not only remembered the criss-crossing paths in the college, but also found the secret passage leading to the back mountain.
"You must have a good sense of direction." Lu Yi exclaimed.
Canaan was walking in front. Hearing this, he turned around and looked at him. He said with a bit of pride: "Little map expert, I'm happy to help you anywhere you want to go!"
"Really?" Lu Yi said again, "Then take me to the Academy Tower."
Canaan turned back immediately and said, "If you want me to die, just tell me directly."
There are two forbidden areas in Bryside, one is the back mountain and the other is the college tower.
"Why do you want to run to the forbidden area? You insist on going somewhere where you can't go." Canaan muttered softly.
"What did you say?" Lu Yi said.
"Nothing, nothing..."
"You went to the back mountain yourself, so what right do you have to criticize me?" Lu Yi snorted.
Moreover, he went to the back mountain to explore the somewhat familiar divine power, unlike Canaan, who sneaked into the back mountain in fear just to steal some mint leaves.
That's too unambitious!
Promising!
"I'm not good at speaking and I can't beat you. I surrender!" Canaan raised his hands in surrender.
Under Canaan's guidance, the two finally arrived at the dog path that Canaan mentioned.
Although it is called a dog path, it is actually more like an extremely narrow short tunnel.
Canaan skillfully pushed aside the grass, revealing a slight half-gap in the corner of the wall.
He quickly put on gloves, took out a small shovel and started digging in the corner of the wall.
After a few handfuls of soil were removed, the narrow tunnel entrance that was lightly covered was completely exposed.
This so-called dog path was half a slightly chipped corner of the wall, and half a pile of dug earth.
Lu Yi was simply amazed and asked curiously: "How did you find out there was a hole here? And it wouldn't cause a reaction from the magic circle?"
Canaan took off his gloves and stuffed the shovel back into the ring space with great effort.
The space in his ring was not spacious, and it was full of a mess of things, making it troublesome to take or put things away.
"It was actually an accident. One day I bought a sandwich with meat and ham in the cafeteria. I wanted to sit by the flower bed and enjoy my dinner, but when I bent down to tie my boots, my sandwich was taken away by a dog!" Canaan said vividly.
"I was so angry! I immediately chased after it and prepared to teach it a lesson!"
"Then you discovered this hole?" Lu Yi said.
This luck is too good.
Canaan nodded and continued, "What's even better is that when I was hiding in this cave, I happened to hear a secret in the back mountain."
Lu Yi asked curiously: "What secret?"
"Although the back mountain is called a forbidden area, it is not actually a forbidden area. It is just because the school has kept many aggressive monsters in it. The junior students are very immature in both the use and storage of magic power. If they mistakenly enter the back mountain forest, they may end up serving food to the monsters."
"So what you want to say is that although there is a restrictive magic circle in the back mountain, the restriction of the magic circle is not very strong?"
Canaan smiled and said, "To be more precise, the magic circle exists intermittently. I have observed it for several days and found that there is a one-hour gap every two hours. As long as we don't go far and return quickly, we won't attract anyone's attention."
Lu Yi nodded in understanding, but he was thinking that one hour was still too short.
It seems that the exploration of the back mountain can only be done slowly, and this time I'll just treat it as a scout.
Seeing that Lu Yi had no other questions, Canaan rolled up his sleeves and was about to go straight into the dog hole.
Fortunately, he was small in stature, so he was able to pass through this narrow dog path.
Lu Yi grabbed him in time and asked, "Are you going to get in like this?"
"Yes! What else?" Jianan said blankly, "Lu Yi, don't worry. This cave looks narrow, but it's actually okay inside. I don't think you will get stuck!"
"This is not a question of whether it's stuck or not, okay?" Lu Yi said helplessly.
He took out a few magic pills and gave half to Canaan.
"The brown one is an isolation potion, the black one is a low-level transfiguration potion that turns you into a small animal, and the white one is a potion that removes the transfiguration. Although we haven't learned transfiguration yet, we can use the transfiguration potion to make do for now."
Lu Yi pondered for a moment and said, "You should have spare clothes in your space ring, right?"
"Yes." Canaan nodded immediately.
"That's convenient. After you take the isolation potion, take the black pill and put the white pill in your mouth at the same time. Wait until you come out of the tunnel and swallow the white pill."
"Okay, shall I eat now?"
Lu Yi looked at him and said, "No, wait a minute, let me go in first. If I encounter any powerful monsters, I can still escape."
"After I go in, you wait about three minutes before going in, okay?"
Although they were all men, Lu Yi had no intention of being honest with others.
Canaan didn't know what scene was imagining in his mind, his face turned red and he kept saying yes.
Lu Yi didn't bother to pay attention to him and swallowed the magic pill directly.
The next second, he disappeared from the spot.
Without the support of the human body, the clothes fell to the ground in an instant, piling up on the ground in layers.
In the pile of clothes, a reddish-brown little panda pushed aside the fabric and came out.
Jianan covered his chest, thinking that he was indeed Lu Yi! Even when he turned into an animal, he was still such a cute little panda.
The red panda Lu Yi glanced at the huge Canaan in front of him speechlessly, and quickly went into the cave.
This tunnel is too narrow for humans, but very spacious for red pandas.
He quickly passed through the tunnel and came to the other side of the wall.
Lu Yi swallowed the antidote and injected magic power into the space ring in his mouth, preparing to quickly change into the spare clothes.
But before the antidote he swallowed could take effect, invisible magical power began to surge where Lu Yi was standing.
Invisible magic power rushed into the sky, stirring up a huge transparent vortex, and creating waves of magic power with Lu Yi as the center.
The next second, Lu Yi's feet were empty and he fell straight into the depths.
And at the same place, the spare clothes that Lu Yi had just taken out were lying quietly on the ground, as if nothing had happened.
Canaan, who was on the other side of the wall, seemed to sense something and felt a little uneasy.
He pinched the pill and asked tentatively: "Lu Yi, are you okay?"
No response.
This magic circle actually has a built-in soundproofing effect, Canaan thought.
He carefully put the clothes that Lu Yi left on the ground into his space ring.
Canaan estimated that it was about three minutes, so he swallowed the pill and headed for the cave entrance.
He must have turned into a little hedgehog, clumsily covering his eyes with his little paws as he crawled to the other side of the wall.
Canaan swallowed the pill in his mouth and nervously took out his clothes.
"Lu Yi, don't worry, I can get dressed in no time!!!"
Canaan realized something was wrong as soon as he put on his underwear.
Although he covered his eyes when he was in the hedgehog form just now, he didn't seem to see Lu Yi's figure out of the corner of his eye.
And Lu Yi didn't answer.
But Lu Yi is not the kind of person who doesn't answer——
Canaan was so shocked that he didn't even have time to put on the clothes in his hands. He immediately turned around and looked at the forest behind him.
No one!
Lu Yi is not here? !
Lu Yi came in only three minutes before him, how could he not be here?
Canaan panicked for a moment, looking around frantically.
He saw the scattered clothes at his feet.
It’s Lu Yi’s!
But Lu Yi himself is not here?
Something happened.
Canaan judged it immediately.
This realization made him panic instantly, and bad thoughts popped up in his mind one after another.
No wonder he was so panicked just now.
Something happened indeed!!
Canaan gritted his teeth, quickly put on his clothes, then glanced at the clothes piled on the ground and turned to leave.
Canaan ran frantically towards the exit of the back mountain. He only hated that he did not run fast enough.
He had never run as fast as he did now, as if he was racing with the god in charge of death.
Lu Yi——
Nothing must happen to Lu Yi!
He had to find the teacher on duty at the back mountain! Now!
Lu Yi must have encountered some unexpected situation!
Lu Yi!
Wait for him to call for help!!
…
On the other side, Lu Yi was busy taking care of himself and had no idea that Canaan was almost scared to death.
He fell so suddenly that he didn't even have time to put on his clothes. In his panic he only had time to grab a piece of clothing.
Lu Yi fell down holding the cloth tightly in his hand. After a few seconds, he hit something soft heavily.
After Lu Yi landed, he quickly covered himself with the clothes in his hands.
Fortunately, he grabbed a loose shirt.
He put on his shirt, the hem of which went over his thighs, covering his entire waist and hips.
His space ring fell to the ground.
But the empty feeling in his lower body made Lu Yi look a little ugly.
【“857, change my underwear and pants for me.”】
[Five points for underwear, five points for long pants, do you want to exchange?] 857 took advantage of the situation and acted like a profiteer to the end.
The system mall simply doesn't bother to sell the most common items like underwear and trousers.
Players who want to purchase can only trade privately with their own system.
The times are pressing.
Lu Yi took note of it in his heart and said, [“Change!”]
White panties and trousers appeared instantly.
After solving his clothing needs, Lu Yi's face looked a little better.
Only then did he have the mind to look around where he was.
Lu Yi bought another fire starter from 857, spending one point, and the dark environment around him finally lit up.
This should be an underground cave, extremely dark with no light being able to penetrate.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of water dripping and hitting the stone wall.
Lu Yi looked around carefully and found that the thing that caught him just now was actually a black soft-bodied creature.
A very familiar looking soft-bodied creature.
Lu Yi jumped off the soft black ball and stopped at a certain distance from the black ball.
[“Exchange for a temporary void dagger.”]
A pitch-black dagger appeared out of thin air in Lu Yi's hand.
Lu Yi did not hesitate and decisively inserted the dagger into the black soft ball.
The soft-bodied creature seemed to be in pain and twisted continuously, and the overlapping tentacles were separated and identified.
Lu Yi stared closely at the wound caused by the Void Dagger.
Golden blood flowed there.
The glowing blood illuminated the dim interior of the cave as bright as day, and Lu Yi's messy golden hair also began to sparkle.
Lu Yi had a serious expression.
I don’t know why, but the black tentacles were clearly injured but had no tendency to attack.
A bold idea came to his mind.
Lu Yi took a few steps forward, pressed the bleeding tentacle, and took out an empty bottle from the air.
He held down the tentacle and placed the bottle against the wound, allowing the golden blood to continue flowing into the bottle.
The tentacles only struggled a few times symbolically, and soon became completely motionless in Lu Yi's warm palm.
Seeing this, Lu Yi's eyes flickered slightly.
The empty bottle was quickly filled, and Lu Yi put the bottle into the system backpack.
However, he did not stop there and stood up to leave, but kept his eyes on the tentacle with the obvious wound.
Lu Yi held the dagger in one hand and gently covered the tentacle wound with the other hand.
His palms were warm, but the temperature of his touch was even higher than that of his palms.
Lu Yi licked his lips subconsciously.
His fingers brushed across the wound and were stained with golden blood.
Lu Yi withdrew his hand and stared at the blood on his fingertips expressionlessly.
He put his hand close to his lips, pressed it against his lips and teeth, and slightly extended his tongue to lick the glowing blood.
The tentacle trembled violently, as if something exploded beneath its dark and smooth skin.
But Lu Yi didn't notice anything unusual about the tentacles, he closed his eyes slightly.
This blood—
It was the divine blood that he swallowed at the bottom of the baptismal font in the Baptismal Temple.
He would never admit his mistake.
Lu Yi has come into contact with two almost divine powers. One was when he accidentally borrowed the power of the God of Light during the kidnapping, and the other was when he swallowed the power of the black tentacles under the baptismal pool.
The black tentacles in this cave are clearly the same species as the black tentacles in the baptismal pool.
Is there a descendant of the gods trapped in this cave?
He originally thought that there was a god behind the tentacles under the baptismal font.
But when standing in this cave and looking at the familiar black tentacles, Lu Yi overturned his original idea.
There is no way that humans could possibly have the ability to imprison a god.
No matter how weak a god is, he is still a god.
There is no way that gods could be imprisoned in a cave like this by tiny humans.
Rather than a god, it is more likely that there is a descendant of a god behind this tentacle.
Although no matter what historical records are written, the gods have all been annihilated without leaving any descendants.
But Lu Yi believed his own eyes more.
The black tentacles undulated, and Lu Yi's eyes fell on it again.
Without any hesitation, Lu Yi stretched out his hand and fiercely stabbed the dagger into the wound he had just stabbed.
Golden blood splashed onto his face, even slightly dyeing his blue pupils with a thrilling golden light.
Lu Yi did not pause, and continued his movements, quickly cutting off the entire injured tentacle.
As soon as he got the small tentacle, he immediately stuffed it into the system space.
He heard 857's horrified voice in his mind.
[My God of Machines! What did you bring back? This thing is horrible! 61! It’s horrible! Throw it out now! !]
Lu Yi wiped the golden blood off his face and said coldly: "Why are you throwing it away? This is a good thing I cut off with great effort. If I have to throw anything away, I'd rather throw away a piece of trash like you."
857 was choked by his straightforward words. After shouting a few words, he ran away and shut himself in.
Lu Yi glanced at the dark tentacle that seemed to be wilted and no longer moving, then stepped over it and walked deeper into the cave.
He could feel that the magic that attracted him was deep in this cave.
Lu Yi held the fire starter and probed deeper into the cave. The sound of water dripping became more and more obvious along the way.
Is there a pool deep in the cave?
What puzzled Lu Yi was that this seemingly unfathomable cave did not have any forks in the road, and he walked straight to the bottom.
As we turned the corner, the sound of water became so loud that it seemed almost within reach.
Lu Yi held his breath and turned the corner.
The scene he saw made his breath stop and his deep blue pupils couldn't help but dilate.
At the end of the corner, a man with black hair and black eyes was imprisoned in a pool of cold water.
The pool was cold, and the black-haired, black-eyed man had frost on his long, thick eyelashes. His face was extremely pale, but his lips were as red as blood.
No, his lips were literally covered in blood, golden red blood.
The man had a deep face and delicate features, and a very standard body shape, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, without any excess on his body. He was just right, with a little more and a little less.
His hands were hung high up by the pitch-black black meteorite iron, and his palms with distinct knuckles were loosely grasping something.
His neck was also locked with a chain, and the wide collar fixed his head and neck firmly in place.
The freezing cold water reached his buttocks, revealing a slightly distinct waistline.
The black meteorite not only locked up the body, but also the spirit and soul. No matter how capable the trapped person was, he could not mobilize any magic power in his body.
But this chain is not the most terrifying thing.
Lu Yi looked carefully and found that his elbows, wrists and even collarbones were all nailed with special bone nails made of black meteorite iron.
The bone nails are like nails in the bones and blood, and the pain will be like a malignant tumor that constantly gnaws at the body and soul of the person being nailed.
This is an inhumane punishment that is written in a banned book and is strictly prohibited.
Legend has it that just a tiny black meteorite iron nail can cause a fifth-level magician to die in extreme pain within one second.
The man in front of him had six nails on his body.
This is only what Lu Yi can see. Under the shivering pool that he cannot see, there must be other inhuman tortures.
But the man did not let out any cry of pain.
Lu Yi’s eyes paused.
The man seemed to have anticipated Lu Yi's arrival, and he raised his head and stared at Lu Yi.
His pupils were pitch black, but there seemed to be endless colors and light flowing in the darkness. When he looked at Lu Yi, his eyes were almost flashing with a weird light.
The man seemed to be exhausted and bit his lip again without saying a word.
He stared at Lu Yi with a madman's eyes, but swallowed the golden blood flowing from his lips and mouth in big gulps.
After swallowing the blood, the man's spirit improved visibly.
Lu Yi also stared at the man closely. He walked forward slightly and slowly approached the extremely cold pool.
The man seemed to have gathered enough strength and spoke with a hoarse voice.
"Sir, are you here to save me?"
The author has something to say:
The attacker is not the Dark God. Although Xiao Hei is still alive, he will soon die because of the attacker.
