When Xu Xianxian walked down the narrow stairs and entered the basement on the next level, her expression changed several times.
Even without a light source, with her night vision, she could barely see that this not-so-spacious basement was filled with densely packed remains of creatures, all locked in cages of various sizes.
And there are not only human remains, but also remains of all kinds of strange shapes.
"This isn't just a basement, it's a prison." Xu Xianxian walked into the basement, kicked away the broken shackles nearby, and picked up a piece of oval horn bone locked inside. She gently wiped the dust off the bone with her fingers, revealing a dark pattern that had been hidden inside. "Judging from its shape, my initial inference is that it's the Four Blade Demons of the Third Hell. This pattern is suspected to be the emblem of some demonic family."
She faintly felt the lingering evil aura. Even after so many years, there was still an extremely sharp dark force lingering around, making the palm of her hand slightly hot.
The Four-Direction Blade Demon is a high-level demon, similar in rank to the Balrog. Born at the fifth ring, it can reach the ninth ring or higher upon reaching adulthood. It feeds on metal knives. This demon's rank in Hell is like the dragons, goblins, and sirens of Avalon: a material life form at the top of the food chain.
But a high-level demon was locked in a cage like a prisoner in this basement, chained with special metal, and then died inexplicably.
"The demons in Hell were born from death and destruction, so they don't fear death. Simply waiting to die without freedom should be much more painful than killing them directly." Xu Xianxian raised her head and glanced at several laboratory tables not far away. The strange-looking instruments on them still maintained their basic appearance. "Not to mention, they died under unimaginable torture."
As a legendary wizard, she had naturally done many magic experiments. Although the other party's experimental equipment was not a magic system, it was not difficult to distinguish.
"Is this the laboratory the log owner mentioned?"
"The method of studying tainted blood actually requires the use of so many different creatures. It seems that what is contained within it is beyond my current observation."
Xu Xianxian looked thoughtful and did not touch those strange instruments. Instead, she stepped over the scattered remains and searched for a weapon she could use in the basement.
The flower trees before were damaged by the rubble, which means that the monsters here are not invincible and untouchable. If you use a sharp knife or axe, you will be able to destroy it directly.
In the space below the laboratory table, she found several sharp weapons she wanted, two small axes for experiments, and five or six extremely sharp blades.
Xu Xianxian carefully picked up these sharp weapons and found that most of them were damaged. Only a small axe and two sharp blades were barely usable.
"The axe is badly damaged and probably won't withstand a few uses. The two blades also have some broken edges, but at least it solves the urgent need right now."
Xu Xianxian's eyes showed a hint of joy. With a weapon, her ability to save her life could be increased exponentially.
With her current strength reduced to that of an ordinary fighter, the lethality of any knife was dozens of times greater than that of a fist or kick. She couldn't even break the branches of the flower tree with her punches and kicks, but with a single blow from her axe, she was confident that she could chop the tree into several pieces, including its branches and leaves.
Just as she began to simulate the battle scene in her mind, a slight sound of a wooden door closing was heard from the other side of the basement.
The sound was not loud, but it was extremely harsh in the silent space.
Xu Xianxian turned around, glanced at the wooden door that suddenly closed, and whispered to the person inside, "Who?"
The language she spoke was not the language of Earth, nor was it the language of the goblins, but a very strange and difficult to pronounce language. This was a new language she learned by imitating the pronunciation of the words of the log owner.
This is what a legendary wizard does. With the support of his own huge knowledge system, he can easily draw inferences from one example and apply it to a hundred other cases. He can quickly and conveniently learn any knowledge he has seen.
Of course, the vocabulary Xu Xianxian learned through that diary was not large, but she had no problem speaking some relatively simple expressions and sentences.
However, Xu Xianxian's question did not receive any response.
This basement full of bones is still silent.
Faced with such a situation, Xu Xianxian subconsciously took a few steps back, as if she might run away at any time, but after thinking for a few seconds, she decided to move forward.
She tiptoed slowly towards the wooden door. When she got closer, she could see that the door was very old and had holes all over it from corrosion. She didn't even know where the door handle was.
Even if it was closed now, Xu Xianxian could push it open with just her hand, but she didn't do it because she met an eye in the hole of the wooden door.
The light blue eyes, without any luster in the darkness, were staring at him without blinking, with a look full of curiosity, surprise and fear.
"Who are you?"
Xu Xianxian looked into those eyes and tried to ask questions using simple sentences, because no matter how wise and beautiful she was, she could only master part of the language through a diary, not all of it.
Without waiting for a reply, the fear in the other person's eyes seemed to grow even stronger.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you... Can you tell me who you are?"
