Chapter 1053: Underground Rescue

The scale of this underground space was much larger and more complicated than the monster arena in Dragon City.

It should be a part of the huge underground city constructed by the ancestors of the advanced orcs.

Unfortunately, the dilapidation caused the collapse everywhere.

The continuous explosion of the marsh gas caused the cracks to continuously expand.

There were also a large number of totem beasts that were not killed by the explosion, squeezing out desperately through the cracks.

This place had become riddled with holes, with air leaking everywhere.

Meng Chao’s body was stained with the blood of the One-horned Bronze Bull and the Ankylosaurus.

The strong smell of blood made most of the totem beasts too afraid to emerge from the darkness.

He crawled through one crack after another, his speed getting faster and faster.

His grasp of the direction was also getting more and more accurate.

Occasionally, he would encounter an iron wall. He would only need to take a few steps back and slam into it fiercely, and he would always be able to create a brand new tunnel.

Fifteen minutes later, Meng Chao stood in front of a wall that seemed to be at the end of the tunnel.

The Wall had a faint metallic luster. Its length and width were more than five arms, and its entire body was as smooth as a mirror. There was not even a single crack between the bricks. It was as if it had been cast in one piece.

Meng Chao clenched his fists and tapped lightly. A dull echo came from within the wall. It proved that even if the wall behind was not solid rock, the thickness of the wall was far more than one arm.

Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and looked up, down, left, and right carefully.

Then, the totem armor on his left arm liquefied and changed again, from a war hammer to a sharp spike like a knight’s spear.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

He aimed at the wall and instantly threw out over a hundred spears.

Each spear was accompanied by an extremely high frequency vibration and an extremely fast rotation, deeply cutting into the wall that was as hard as iron.

Hundreds of densely packed holes arranged into a two-meter square frame.

After that, he turned the spear into a war hammer again.

Taking a deep breath, the blood vessels that were as thick as a dragon protruded out from under the totem armor. Meng Chao aimed at the center of the frame and struck it fiercely.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!

The two war hammers that were connected to the arms turned into two powerful pile drivers. Amidst the deafening noise, sparks flew in all directions, gravel flew and the entire tunnel began to tremble.

The wall that was thicker than two or three arms caved in at a speed visible to the naked eye along the outline of the spear.

It was as if Meng Chao’s arms had turned into a bloody mouth that kept swallowing the rocks that formed the wall and the steel bars that were embedded in the rocks to strengthen the wall.

In just three minutes, Meng Chao had punched out thousands of fists.

The violent friction between the fist and the air, as well as the surging spiritual energy that was highly compressed to two extremely precise points, turned the kinetic energy into heat energy, but turned the armor that was wrapped around his arms into a glittering orange-red color, it was as if it had just been taken out of a steel furnace.

Finally, the seemingly indestructible copper wall and iron wall groaned in pain under the ravaging of Meng Chao’s Iron Fists.

With the square frame outlined by hundreds of holes as the boundary, the bricks, rocks, and steel bars in the square frame all collapsed and fell to the ground.

Behind the wall, what appeared in front of Meng Chao was a secret cell that was neither big nor small.

In the center of the cell, a silver-haired woman with shackles on her hands, feet, and neck looked somewhat haggard, but her eyes were still as sharp as icicles. She was one of the four aces of the Blood Skull Arena, Ice Storm, who had the title of Frost Queen.

Meng Chao grinned and strode into the cell.

Ice Storm stared at the “berserker” armor on his body. It was very different from the style of the past, especially around the fists that had just destroyed the head of the Ankylosaurus and destroyed the iron wall.

Ice Storm raised his eyebrows.

“I keep telling myself that I can’t overestimate you, a monster with a mysterious origin.”

Ice Storm suddenly stood up and bowed to Meng Chao sincerely. “But I still realized that I’ve underestimated you again and again.”

“It’s all thanks to your reminder.”

Meng Chao put the war hammers at the ends of his arms back into liquid metal and put them back into his body, revealing his five fingers.

He put his right index and middle fingers together and gently tapped the space between his eyebrows, causing the visor to merge into his body, revealing a brilliant smile.

He continued. “Fortunately, you have guessed Casanova’s mentality. That shameless man will definitely not let you go. No matter how despicable he is, he will keep you here.

“That’s why I thought of letting you soak your clothes and hair in the tracing powder, so that you can release a faintly discernible fragrance from your body.

“It is extremely difficult for others to notice the uniqueness of this fragrance. However, for me, who personally concocted the powder, as long as I breathe in a little bit of the corresponding powder into my nose and activate my olfactory cells, I am confident that I will be able to find you as long as you are still within the range of the Blood Skull Arena.”

“Thank you. I owe you my life,” Ice Storm said solemnly, stressing each word.

After pausing for a moment, she could not help but ask again, “However, how did you know that Casanova wouldn’t move me away from the Blood Skull Arena?”

“It’s very simple. It’s because the Blood Skull Arena is a lair that Casanova has been painstakingly running for more than ten years.”

Meng Chao’s gaze swept past Ice Storm’s empty back, but he did not dwell on the issue of Ice Storm’s tail. He only said, “You are a rare commodity to be kept. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, Casanova won’t share your secret with others. Even if it’s a big shot in the Blood Hoof Clan, he wouldn’t be willing.”

Through the reflection in Meng Chao’s eyes, Ice Storm could clearly see her own appearance.

She knew that at this moment, other than a pair of snow-white, round, and furry leopard ears on her head, she was almost no different from a human.

It made Ice Storm, who had been in Picturesque Orchid Lake for three years, feel insecure without any clothes on.

Thinking quickly, she gritted her teeth and said, “Didn’t you notice that I don’t have a tail?”

“Neither do I. So what?”

Meng Chao shrugged and spoke as if nothing had happened. “The tail is not important now. What is important is whether we can successfully escape Black-corner City and how many things we can take away before we escape.

“How is it? Are you seriously injured? Can you still fight?”

Ice Storm shook his head.

He raised his hands again, revealing the shackles engraved with earthworm characters on his wrists.

“My injuries are not serious, but this thing is troublesome. If I don’t think of a way to get rid of it, I can’t use my totem power,” said Ice Storm.

Meng Chao observed carefully.

The mysterious characters curled like earthworms activated his memory fragments from his previous life, allowing him to know that this was a magic item from the land of Holy Light. It seemed to have the function of sealing totem power.

However, similar magic items often had the characteristic of a ‘one-way defense’.

In other words, once an advanced orc was smashed into such shackles, it would be very difficult for him to break the seal inside the shackles from the inside out with his own totem power.

However, if he attacked from the outside, as long as he controlled his strength accurately and did not hurt Ice Storm’s hands, he should have a chance to break the seal, or at least create a crack.

Of course, there were also seals that had a two-way defense that could not be broken from the inside or the outside.

Nevertheless, Meng Chao did not think that Casanova Bloodhoof would be able to obtain such a magical item.

Just to be on the safe side, Meng Chao put away his breastplate and took out a few small bottles from his chest.

He opened one of the small dark green bottles and first used a small brush made of a few feathers to bind it. He dipped it in a bit of sticky medicinal liquid that was as thick as honey and gently brushed it on the shackles around Ice Storm’s left wrist.

Then, he took out a piece of tough and flexible animal skin that had just been peeled off from the One-horned Bronze Bull from his waist pouch. He stuffed it into the gap between Ice Storm’s wrist and the shackle, covering her entire forearm and palm.

It was to ensure the safety of the next step of the operation.

Next, Meng Chao opened another small bottle that emitted a pungent smell.

A liquid-moving tube made of a hollow leg bone and a fish bladder extracted a few drops of dark red liquid from it and gently dripped it on the surface of the shackle that was smeared with dark green mucus.

The surface of the shackle immediately emitted a “chi chi chi chi” sound.

It emitted a pungent smell.

It also emitted a layer of dense, extremely fine foam.

The earthworm characters engraved on the shackle constantly flashed.

But the shining light was covered by the foam that kept spreading.

Soon, the shackles seemed to have been sealed for thousands of years. The surface was bumpy and mottled, and there was an ugly layer of rust under the foam.

“What is this?”

Ice Storm could not hide the surprise in her voice.

“Some kind of medicine that has a very strong corrosive effect on metal substances. However, it is not very toxic and corrosive to flesh and bones,” said Meng Chao.

“Where did you get such a thing?” Ice Storm asked in disbelief.

“I extracted and refined it from the secret drug you gave me, the spoils of war I obtained in the game of the brave, and the chicken and dog scraps I bought in the rat market,” Meng Chao said casually.

It seemed that concocting such a drug was a piece of cake, and that was indeed the case.

In his previous life, the Ghost Assassins had reached out to the entire Other World in order to defend the interests of Dragon City.

Whether it was the icy plain where the cold wind whistled eternally, the huge mausoleum deep in the rolling yellow sand, or even the Eternal Night Abyss, which was illuminated by the seven-colored flames, there were Ghost Assassins everywhere.

It was impossible to get effective supplies from their hometown as they were thousands of miles away from Dragon City. The Ghost Assassins were very good at using the local raw materials of the foreign world to create various combinations of earth and the Other World’s dual styles, strange things.

Picturesque Orchid Lake was a close neighbor of Dragon City.

The people of Dragon City in his previous life naturally cracked and optimized the formulas of most of Picturesque Orchid Lake’s secret medicines in their first attempt.

“The secret medicines that the clan warriors carry are all concocted by witch doctors and even priests with ancient formulas from tens of millions of years ago. How dare you extract and refine them at will?”

Ice Storm looked at Meng Chao in disbelief.

Meng Chao moved his lips.

He really wanted to say something about the so-called “concoction” of these witch doctors and priests. Even the street hawkers in Dragon City, who concocted fruit juice and soft drinks might be more technical than them.

However, these words were inconsistent with his usual plain and low-key persona.
