Hundreds of demon soldiers quickly surrounded Lu Chen and the Balrog.
"We're on the same side!" the Balrog explained loudly.
"You're … the Balrog?"
"That's me!"
"Men, tie up that human captive!"
Lu Chen almost broke down. It had not been easy for him to escape from the human prison, but now he was captured by the demons. What kind of luck was this?!
"Don't, he, he's …" The Balrog stood in front of Lu Chen. He wanted to say that Lu Chen was his friend, but he realized that it would be even harder to explain if he admitted it now.
"That's not a captive!"
"Balrog!" The leading Heavenly Captain frowned. "You assassinated the Great Heavenly General of the human race. That's indeed an amazing thing. That's why you should be clear about your position!"
"That guy is a human, so there's no reason to let him go! Are you going to disobey orders?! "
The Balrog looked troubled. He was different from Lu Chen. He was in the immortal army, and military orders were like mountains. How could he disobey?
"This, this … Sigh, let him go. He gave me his food in the human prison. That's why I had enough strength to escape."
"Maybe he just wanted to get close to you? Besides, since he's a human, he must know some information about the human race! Balrog, if you're a demon soldier, obey orders and tie him up yourself! "
The Balrog looked pained. "No, I can't betray my friend."
"Those who aren't of our race must have ulterior motives! Balrog, obey orders! Any negligence can lead to misfortune for the world behind us! "
"If you don't obey orders, you'll be dealt with according to military law!"
Just as the Balrog was in a dilemma, Lu Chen suddenly spoke. "Brother Balrog, just do it."
The Balrog's eyes darted around. He suddenly turned around and grabbed Lu Chen's hands. "Then don't blame me for being impolite! Come, follow us back to the demon fortress! "
When the Balrog grabbed Lu Chen's hands, Lu Chen felt the Balrog secretly stuff something into his hands.
"Demon Servant Token!" The Flame Devil whispered, "Don't resist for now. There are definitely many Immortal Demon Army nearby. You won't be able to deal with them. Old Brother Du Kuang, I will definitely save you!"
…
Lu Chen did not resist and was once again taken to the dungeon.
"I'm really speechless. I'm locked up again!" Lu Chen leaned against the wall of the dungeon. Now, he was also shackled.
Before, there was no danger to his life in the human race, but now, it was hard to say.
Should he force his way in? The Demon Race's Array Formation seemed to be even more powerful than the Human Race's. Lu Chen wasn't sure if he could break out of it.
Opening his palm, Lu Chen saw the token that the Flame Demon had given him.
Demon Servant Order.
"Forget it, digging a tunnel is more reliable. Use the Demon Servant Token! "
Five little demons jumped out and stood neatly in front of Lu Chen.
"Dig a tunnel and hide it well. Don't let anyone find out."
The five little demons didn't know how to speak. They immediately drilled into the ground and disappeared.
"That's quite impressive." Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction.
That night, Lu Chen enjoyed the hospitality of a Level 1 Cooking Master. The guard threw in some unknown food that looked as hard as stone. Lu Chen had no appetite at all.
Later, a few guards came to interrogate Lu Chen.
Coming to a room, Lu Chen saw the situation around him and couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
The bloodstains on the ground had not been cleaned up. A few Demon Race Immortal soldiers were dragging a criminal of unknown race all the way back to his cell.
That guy was covered in blood and had already lost consciousness.
To be honest, Lu Chen had seen torture on TV before. Just thinking about it made him feel terrified. Now, he was actually going to experience it for himself.
The Demon Race had a fierce appearance. The torches on the wall made the faces of the executioners even more distorted, like ghosts from hell.
They were tidying up a pile of execution tools. Fire tongs, props, steel wires … They were carefully wiping the bloodstains on the cloth, looking abnormally serious.
No, if they tortured him, Lu Chen would definitely take action!
"You are the human that the Flame Demon brought back?"
Lu Chen looked coldly at the person who asked the question. "That's right."
"Why did you get close to the Flame Demon?"
"I was locked in the same cell."
"Because you refused to join the Human Race Immortal Army?" The other person seemed to know something. He should have heard it from the Flame Demon.
"Yes."
At this time, the executioner had also finished tidying up the tools. He sat in front of Lu Chen and sized up Lu Chen formally. "The higher-ups said that you are not to be tortured for the time being. It should be the Flame Demon's power that is protecting you."
"Solipsistic, right? The Flame Demon doesn't know your identity, but I do! You killed the champion of the Human Race Tournament in an instant. You can be considered to have some personal strength. "
Lu Chen sneered. "Your investigation is quite thorough."
"Of course, we can't just listen to the Flame Demon's side of the story. Naturally, we have to investigate you thoroughly!"
"What you told the Balrog is basically the truth as well."
"However, you are also unlucky. A few days ago, we suffered a defeat at the hands of the Four Seas Expedition and lost thousands of people. We also failed to assassinate the Four Seas Expedition. At this time, the Demon Race has a deep hatred for the Human Race. At this time, we need to inspire the confidence of our people."
"As for you, it is impossible to let you go. That would be letting a tiger return to the mountain!"
"It just so happens that you have been recognized by the Four Seas Expedition. If you are executed in public, not only will it be a blow to the Human Race's confidence, it will also boost the morale of the Demon Race!"
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes. "I saved your hero, and this is how you treat me?"
"Well, I can only say thank you to you, and then … I am sorry."
"So, you want to execute me in public?"
"Yes."
"Not mistreat me? I see that the Human Race has to beat up the Flame Demon every day. "Lu Chen was speechless. They didn't even give him time to dig a tunnel.
"Hahahaha, you saved the Flame Demon, so we won't mistreat you. During the execution, we will definitely find an expert to kill you in one blow and not let you feel any pain."
"Damn, then … thank you."
"Tomorrow, we will invite the best cooking master to treat you to your last meal. The execution will be at 8 AM. Oh right, you don't have to think about escaping. Your shackles are special and can seal your spirit core. No matter what level of cultivation technique you have, if you can't use the spirit core's spirit energy, it will be useless. "
"Alright, go back and have a good rest."
Lu Chen was pushed back.
Looking at the shackles on his hands, he tried to use his cultivation technique, but it was useless.
"Little Furball."
A little mouse jumped onto Lu Chen's wrist.
"Can I eat it?"
Little Furball sniffed the shackles and nodded at Lu Chen.
As expected, there was nothing in this world that Little Furball couldn't eat.
Once the shackles were removed, Lu Chen was confident that he could escape unscathed.
The defensive array around the prison was a bit troublesome. The best time was to escape when he was brought to the execution tomorrow.
"If that's the case, then you have to rest well today. There might be a fierce battle tomorrow."
