The underground space was even larger and more complicated than Dragon City's monster coliseum.
It should be a part of the huge underground city the ancestors of the high-grade orcs had built.
Unfortunately, it had not been maintained for a long time, so it had collapsed everywhere.
The consecutive methane explosions caused the cracks to widen.
A large number of totem beasts who had not died from the explosions squeezed out through the cracks.
The place was riddled with holes, and wind leaked out everywhere.
Meng Chao's body was covered in the blood of the One-horned Bronze Bull and the Armored Hammer Dragon.
The thick stench of blood caused most of the totem beasts to not dare show their heads in the dark.
He crawled through the cracks, and his speed increased.
His grasp over his location also became more precise.
Occasionally, he ran into iron walls, but all he needed to do was take a few steps back and ram into them, and he would always 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 shone with a faint metallic luster. It was longer than five arms wide, and it was as smooth as a mirror. Not a single crack could be seen in the bricks. It looked as if it had been forged.
Meng Chao clenched his fist and tapped it lightly. A dull echo came from the wall, proving that even if the wall behind it was not made of solid stone, it was still much thicker than an arm's length.
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and scrutinized him carefully.
Then, the totem armor on his left arm liquefied and changed again. From a warhammer, it turned into a spear that looked like a knight's longspear.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! He aimed at the walls and instantly fired more than one hundred spears.
Each spear was accompanied by high-frequency vibrations and spinning at high speed. They dug deep into the sturdy wall.
Hundreds of densely packed holes were arranged into a two-meter-wide square frame.
Then, he turned the longspear into a warhammer again.
He sucked in a deep breath, and the blood vessels that were as thick as dragons popped out under the totem armor. Meng Chao aimed at the center of the square frame and struck it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two warhammers connected to his arms turned into two powerful pile drivers. Deafening booms rose, and sparks flew everywhere. Shattered stones flew everywhere, and the entire tunnel started trembling.
The wall that was three arms thick started sinking rapidly along the lines of the longspear.
It was as if Meng Chao's arms had turned into a gaping mouth that continuously devoured the stones that formed the walls and the rebars embedded in the stones that strengthened the walls.
In just a short three minutes, Meng Chao threw thousands of punches.
The intense friction between his fists and the air, along with the surging spirit energy that was highly compressed to two precise points, turned kinetic energy into heat energy, and the armor covering his arms turned a shining orange color, as if it had just been taken out of a furnace.
In the end, the seemingly indestructible iron wall let out a pained moan under Meng Chao's fists.
With hundreds of holes as the boundary, the bricks, rocks, and steel bars inside the box all collapsed and fell to the ground.
Behind the wall was a secret prison room that was neither big nor small.
At the center of the cell was a silver-haired woman whose hands, feet, and neck were shackled. She looked haggard, but her eyes were still as sharp as ice. She was one of the four aces of the Blood Skull Arena, Ice Storm, known as "Frost Queen".
Meng Chao grinned and strode into the prison room.
Ice Queen stared at the berserker armor on him, which was completely different from the style he wore in the past.
It was especially so for the pair of fists that had just destroyed the Armored Hammer Dragon's head and destroyed the iron wall.
Ice Queen quirked her eyebrows.
"I kept telling myself that no matter how much I overestimate a monster of mysterious origin like you, it's never too much."
Ice Queen stood up swiftly and bowed to Meng Chao in a sincere manner. "But I still find that I've underestimated you."
"It's all thanks to your reminder."
Meng Chao turned the warhammers at the ends of his arms back into liquid metal. He put them back into his body and revealed his fingers.
He pressed his right index and middle fingers together and tapped the center of his brow gently, causing the visor to fuse into his body. A brilliant smile appeared on his face.
"Fortunately, you guessed Casafa's mentality. That shameless bastard will definitely not let you go. Even if he uses even more despicable methods, he will make you stay.
"That's why I thought of letting you soak your clothes and hair in tracking powder so that you can release a faint fragrance.
"It's very difficult for others to notice the uniqueness of this fragrance, but I personally made the powder. As long as I inhale a bit of the corresponding powder into my nose and activate my olfactory cells, as long as you're still within Blood Skull Coliseum, I'm confident that I can find you."
"Thank you. I owe you my life."
Ice Queen enunciated each word clearly and seriously.
She paused for a moment and could not help but ask, "But how do you know that Casafa won't move me outside of Blood Skull Coliseum?"
"It's simple. Because Blood Skull Coliseum is Casafa's nest that he has been working hard on for more than ten years."
Meng Chao's gaze swept past the empty space behind Ice Queen, but he did not dwell on the problem of Ice Queen's tail. He only said, "You're a rare commodity. Unless it's absolutely necessary, Casafa will definitely not be willing to share your secret with others. Even if it's someone important in the Blood Hoof Family, he will definitely not be willing."
Through the reflection of Meng Chao's eyes, Ice Queen saw her appearance clearly.
She knew that at that moment, aside from a pair of snow-white, round, and furry leopard ears on her head, she was practically no different from a human.
This made her, who had been in Turanze for three years, feel a sense of insecurity because she was naked.
Her mind raced, and she braced herself, gritted her teeth, and said, "Didn't you notice that I don't have a tail?"
"I don't have one either. So what?"
Meng Chao shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Tails and whatnot aren't important right now. What's important is whether we can successfully escape from Black Corner City, and before we escape, how many things can we take with us.
"How are you? Are your injuries heavy? Can you still fight?"
Ice Queen shook her head.
She raised her hands high and revealed the shackles on her wrists that had earthworm-like characters carved on them.
"My injuries aren't heavy, but this thing is troublesome. If I don't think of a way to get rid of it, I won't be able to use my totem power," Ice Queen said.
Meng Chao observed carefully.
The mysterious characters that were curled up like earthworms had activated the memory fragments from his previous life, so he knew that this was a magical item from the Land of Holy Light. By the looks of it, it had the effect of sealing totem power.
However, similar magical items usually had the characteristic of "one-way defense".
In other words, once a high-grade orc was shackled like this, it would be very difficult for him to use his totem power to break the seal inside the shackles from the inside out.
But if he attacked from the outside, as long as he controlled his strength accurately and did not hurt Ice Queen'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 "two-way defense" and could not be broken from the inside or the outside.
But Meng Chao did not think that Casava Bloodhoof could get such a magical item.
To be safe, Meng Chao put away his breastplate and took out a few small bottles from his chest.
He opened one of the dark green bottles. First, he used a brush made from a few feathers and dipped it in some medicinal liquid that was as thick as honey. Then, he gently brushed it on the shackles on Ice Queen's left wrist.
Then, he brought out a beast skin that he had just peeled off from the Single-horned Bronze Bull. It was tough and flexible, and it was incredibly tough. He stuffed it into the crack between Ice Queen's wrist and the shackles, covering her entire forearm and palm.
This was to ensure the safety of his next step.
Next, Meng Chao opened another small bottle that gave off a pungent smell.
He used a pipette made from a hollow leg bone and a fish bladder to extract a few drops of dark red liquid. He gently dripped them on the surface of the shackles, which were covered in dark green adhesive liquid.
Sizzling sounds instantly came from the surface of the shackles.
It gave off a pungent stench.
There was even a layer of dense and extremely fine foam on it.
The earthworm words carved on the shackles shone nonstop.
But the shining light was covered by the foam that kept spreading.
In an instant, the shackles looked as if they had been sealed for more than one thousand years. The surface was full of holes and mottled. There was even a layer of ugly rust under the foam.
"What is this?"
Ice Queen could not hide the surprise in her voice.
"It's a medicine that's incredibly corrosive to metals, but it's not very poisonous or corrosive to flesh and bones," Meng Chao said.
"Where did you get such a thing?"
Ice Queen asked in disbelief.
"I extracted it from the medicine you gave me, the spoils of war I got from the Game of the Brave, and the scraps I bought in the rat people's market," Meng Chao said nonchalantly.
It was as if creating this medicine was a simple task.
It was as if creating this medicine was as easy as turning over his hand.
And it was the truth.
In his previous life, the Ghost Assassins had extended their reach to all of the Other World to protect the interests of Dragon City.
Regardless of whether it was the icy plains where the cold wind howled eternally, the huge mausoleum in the depths of the rolling sand, or even the Eternal Night Abyss, which was illuminated by seven-colored flames, the Ghost Assassins could be found everywhere.
They were far away from Dragon City, and it was impossible for them to obtain effective supplies from their home. The Ghost Assassins were very skilled in using the raw materials in the Other World to create all sorts of strange items that combined the styles of Earth and the Other World.
Turanze was Dragon City's neighbor.
In his previous life, the Dragon Citizens had naturally managed to decipher and optimize most of the medicine formulas in Turanze.
"The medicine the warriors carry with them are created by shaman doctors and even priests using ancient formulas from millions of years ago. How dare you extract and refine them at will?"
Ice Queen stared at Meng Chao in disbelief.
Meng Chao moved his lips.
He really wanted to say that the shaman doctors and priests' so-called "modifications" might be even more skillful than the fruit juice and soda created by the street vendors in Dragon City.
But his words did not match his image of a simple and low-profile person.
He decided to save it for next time!
