Chapter 503 Discovery
Ryan recalled the part about prison in the design of the floating city in his mind.
On both sides of the corridor in front of him were the detention areas for extraordinary beings. The rooms were larger and the cells were more solid. For example, they all had special energy limiting devices and strong alloy grilles for melee combat.
The unknown existence made Ryan more alert.
However, Ryan did not stay any longer. He walked slowly inside.
The sound that sounded like breathing became louder. It should be more than 20 meters in front of him, coming from the fifth cell on the right side of the corridor.
Moreover, he also heard other noises from the cells farther away.
"Huh? More than one?"
"Also, the air temperature is starting to rise."
Ryan thought, while slowing down his pace a little.
Because the change in air temperature at this moment was already quite obvious, he only approached a few meters, and the temperature rose by at least five degrees.
This temperature change naturally would not cause any physical discomfort to him, whose mutant dragon bloodline had reached 'super'.
However, this indicates that the airflow sound he just heard is probably not from humanoid creatures, but more likely from high-energy creatures like dragons or dragonborn creatures that have their own burning breath.
"Can survive for thousands of years? Could it be a dragon?" Ryan's eyes flashed with a gleam of light.
He is not afraid of dragons, even those that are thousands of years old, unless the opponent is like the 'Red Dragon King' Straz, who is almost a demigod.
Otherwise, with Ryan's current sixth form of dragon vein transformation, although he cannot guarantee victory, he is not afraid to fight with it.
As Ryan slowly approached, the air temperature rose, becoming more and more obvious.
"Hey, something's wrong, the temperature of this air is almost 70 or 80 degrees. Even if it is an ordinary dragon, normal breathing will not cause such a large temperature change around it when it does not use its breath."
"Could it be a special fire dragon?"
Ryan couldn't help but think of the ancient fire dragon 'Angus King' that jumped out of the crater.
But he still did not stop, just slightly doubtful, and continued to slowly approach. The change in perspective allowed him to see one side of the prison. At this time, he suddenly found that the fifth cell was emitting a faint red light.
"This..."
Finally, Ryan stopped.
Because he was sure that no matter whether it was a red dragon or a fire dragon, the skin and scales on their bodies would not emit such a bright red light.
At this time, he was in front of the first prison where the extraordinary people were imprisoned.
Ryan glanced.
This cell was empty, and there were no skeleton remains on the ground.
It seemed that this meant that not all the cells in the prison area were holding prisoners, which was normal.
After thinking about it, Ryan continued to move forward.
There was a white skeleton on the ground in the second cell. Judging from the length, it seemed to be a extraordinary person among the goblins. The clothes were tattered and it was impossible to tell.
Ryan glanced a few times, and after confirming that the other party was not human, he passed by again.
At this time, Ryan's sight could already see part of the fifth cell on the right.
In that room, there was a monster that looked like a naga, but had four horns of different sizes on its head. It was more than three meters tall. In addition to the fire on its body, Ryan also found that there was a black gas lingering around its head.
Ryan had a feeling that the black gas seemed to have the same origin as the black bugs in the goblin's head.
This was the instinctive perception of a Dawn Wizard.
The other party's body seemed to look very "fresh", yes, fresh! The skin condition was not as dry and wrinkled as the goblin's mummies. Although it was a little dry, it did not look weird, but rather seemed a little strong.
However, Ryan understood it when he thought of the goblins infected by black bugs.
Because whether it was a goblin manipulator or a goblin engineer, the subcutaneous tissue was only shriveled, not completely corrupted, or in other words, due to the black bugs, the corruption was curbed to a certain extent.
As Ryan got closer to the other party's prison and looked at him carefully, the other party seemed to sense Ryan and immediately adjusted from the side to the front to look at Ryan, and scolded:
"Despicable goblin, dare to imprison Les"
Ryan noticed the other party's speech error at the first time.
Goblin?
The next moment, he saw that the other party's eyes had no pupils at all, all reddish white.
And from the other party's intermittent words, it seems that he is unconscious, or only has some degree of instinct left.
Ryan looked at the other party and lost the idea of taking the initiative.
Because the other party did not seem to carry any valuable treasures, no necklace, no ring, and even no thin armor.
He came to find the leader of the Walzig School, or at least the other party must be human.
The humanoid creature in front of him was not one of his targets.
However, the other party's strength seemed to be not weak, about the level of late legendary to peak legendary.
Ryan didn't know whether the opponent's original strength was stronger or weaker than this, or whether it was caused by the black mist covering his face?
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the red light on the opponent's body became stronger, and a scorching air wave swept over.
"Bang!!!"
The monster that looked like a naga rushed towards Ryan and hit the steel grille heavily!
"Despicable goblin, don't let go."
Obviously, the opponent had a grudge against the goblins, and with his confused mind and blind eyes, he mistook Ryan for a goblin.
The opponent's attack had no chance of hurting Ryan because of the distance.
"You can't even see, but you're still thinking about revenge." Ryan couldn't help but shook his head.
But the next moment, he suddenly discovered that the thumb-thick alloy grilles in the opponent's prison were actually melting!
"Huh?" Ryan narrowed his eyes and looked inside the prison.
He found that the complicated lines on the ground of the prison where the opponent was imprisoned, that is, the structure of the witch array that originally restricted strength, had been damaged for some reason. No wonder the opponent could destroy this grille.
In other words, the prison's suppression of the opponent's strength has failed.
And unlike the relatively stiff and rigid steps of the goblin mummies before, the opponent's body shape and speed when sliding are very coordinated. It seems that the black mist has a different effect on the strength of this guy in front of him than the goblins?
"The black mist has preserved the opponent's strength?"
Ryan's thoughts drifted away, and he had already raised his hand, and six buzzing sawtooth metal rings had appeared in front of him.
It was the third-level metal magic 'Sawtooth Ring'. The opponent's strength was not epic, and Ryan's Sawtooth Ring, which was almost as powerful as the Dawn Magic, was enough to deal with it.
Although he had no intention of taking the initiative, if the opponent dared to take the initiative to attack, he would naturally not be stingy to kill the opponent.
Moreover, this was also an opportunity to observe the changes in the black mist.
For Ryan, the black mist was what he was more afraid of.
As the metal grille melted, the opponent raised a red arm with sharp claws, and on the ground around Ryan, a group of flaming vortices with a diameter of several meters suddenly appeared.
The top of these vortexes of flames was white, and it was obvious that the temperature was extremely high and it was expanding rapidly.
Ryan had already dodged and retreated at this time. At the same time, he stretched out his finger and pointed at the opponent.
"Go!"
As Ryan pointed, six high-speed rotating metal rings drew different bright arcs from different angles and instantly hit the monster that looked like a naga.
"Chi! Chi!"
After Ryan's Iron Heart Meditation Method and Super Metal Affinity, the third-level witchcraft "Sawtooth Ring" was blessed with the power of the beginner's Dawn Witchcraft. The six metal rings cut straight into the opponent's light red scaly body like cutting tofu.
Instantly, the opponent was cut into several pieces!
"No!"
Just before the opponent's death, a roar was heard, and then a strong flame shock wave shot out from the opponent's shattered body to the surroundings!
"It's probably the strength of the peak of the legend. I don't know what role this black gas played in this." Ryan looked at the opponent's body that was cut into several pieces and thought to himself.
But just after the opponent's several pieces of body fell heavily to the ground.
Suddenly.
A ball of black mist suddenly emerged from the opponent's corpse, and quickly changed its shape in mid-air, showing various hideous shapes, sometimes like some kind of insect, like a giant mantis, and sometimes like a giant clawed centipede.
The next moment, the black mist suddenly attacked Ryan's position.
"Swish!"
Facing this sudden attack, Ryan had already prepared for it. He hooked his finger, and six buzzing metal rings flashed from behind the black mist.
The black mist surged violently, but the opponent seemed to have no entity, and the jagged metal rings were like hitting a ball of smoke.
After only delaying the opponent for a moment, the black fog continued to attack Ryan like lightning!
However, Ryan had already thought of a whole set of plans to deal with this strange black air before the battle.
His neck suddenly became thicker, and dark silver scales appeared, and his head turned into a ferocious and huge dragon head, and suddenly breathed a dragon's breath towards the black twisted fog that was less than two meters away from him in the air.
"Roar!!!"
The flames in his mouth were a small beam at first, but then they spread and expanded into a cone, and instantly covered the black fog that was constantly twisting and deforming.
"Hiss!"
A sound like hot water being sprinkled on a branding iron sounded!
At the same time, Ryan also vaguely felt some kind of piercing scream mixed in it, as if something was screaming at the end of its life, which was chilling!
With a faint fishy smell drifting over, Ryan's pair of dragon eyes after transformation still vigilantly scanned the interior of the prison. After confirming that there was no remaining danger, he returned to human form again.
Just now, he used part of his body to transform into a dragon and performed the dragon's breath, successfully killing the strange and twisted fog.
However, he was not very optimistic.
"As expected, this thing does not seem to be a physical entity."
Ryan had this guess when he saw the black deformed beetle, and now it has been further confirmed.
"No, to be precise, it seems to be able to transform between the physical and fog states. In fact, the larger the total amount of black fog, the more strange changes there may be."
"But it seems that one thing can be confirmed. As the volume of black fog increases, the opponent's aggressiveness seems to increase sharply."
Ryan frowned and thought, and soon summed up some experience.
The black beetle was not so difficult to deal with before, but as the volume of the black fog increased, it was immune to physical attacks, which was still very tricky.
However, the above can only be regarded as experience, and the sample is too small to be summarized into a rule.
"Bang! Ding Ding!"
Suddenly, the movement in the depths of the corridor intensified!
Ryan quickly turned around and focused his sight on the dim and deep corridor.
It seemed that the noise he had just made in his fight with the monster had caused other things in the prison to react.
He heard a lot of stiff footsteps, collisions, and the sound of metal hitting the grille.
It sounded like there were more than one or two, at least four or five.
This made Ryan's face change slightly, and he looked at the changes in the cells on both sides of the corridor in a serious manner.
"Bang!"
At this time, a cell grille in front of him on the right was twisted and deformed by some huge force, and suddenly bounced out. A black upright hoof at least as thick as an adult's waist stepped out.
The opponent was a minotaur over three and a half meters tall, with white eyes as big as copper bells, one of the two horns on his head was broken, and the mane extended from the top of his head to his back. His muscles were knotted all over his body, but his skin was cracked, so he gave people a rough rock texture.
The minotaur's upper body was also lingering with black air, especially his face, which was very thick.
Obviously, this was another prisoner invaded by that strange black fog.
"An ancient extinct minotaur?"
"I didn't expect to see this here." Ryan immediately guessed the other party's origin from his special appearance.
But it's not over yet.
In a cage on the left side in front of Ryan, a dry and wrinkled hand touched the metal grille, and then the metal grille began to deform and twist rapidly.
"Metal Transfiguration?!" Ryan's eyes widened.
Unlike the previous monster that used fire magic, the magic and energy fluctuations cast by the mummy in front of him were very familiar to Ryan. They were metal energy particle fluctuations.
A human mummy wearing a wizard robe walked out with a slightly staggering step.
"An ancient human wizard? This kind of dress! There's no mistake." Ryan's eyes flashed with a gleam.
He had seen wizard robes dressed like this at the Walzig ruins. They seemed to be the standard wizard robes of the ancient wizard school Walzig.
Because of the special wizard patterns engraved on it, after thousands of years, this wizard robe on the human mummy has not been completely damaged, and its unique decorative features can be roughly distinguished.
In other words, even if the owner of this mummy is not the leader of that school, he must be a wizard from the ancient Walzig school!
"It seems that my previous guess was correct."
Ryan suddenly became a little excited!
"Creaky!"
At the same time, suddenly, there was a sound of a door opening behind Ryan.
I saw that a hidden door near the entrance of the corridor was also opened.
Ryan had seen this door when he just came in, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. It seemed to be the guards' lounge. At that time, he wanted to check the prison first, so he just passed it directly.
A short female goblin corpse wearing tight dark leather armor but with a black aura all over her body came out. Ryan noticed that there was a whip tied around her waist.
"Interrogator?"
"Two in front and one in the back, are we surrounded?"
