The Despair Cage was located at the bottom of the giant pit in the center of the Crystal Maze.
It was a special space between the Devil Maze Island's main island and the Devil Maze Island.
The time in the main island and the Devil Maze Island was reversed. However, in this space, the positive and negative coexisted.
For example, at this moment, standing at the bottom of the pit and looking up, one could see the sky above the main island … There was a blood moon in the sky that was intertwined with the purple mist. As for the surrounding crystal pillars, they were faintly glowing. They were not completely pitch black.
Bang bang bang —
Suddenly, the sound of Geppo piercing through the air came from above.
A strong red shadow swept through the air like a gust of wind and rushed down at high speed. A few seconds later, the shadow landed on the ground and shattered a large piece of crystal.
At this moment, Feng Bujue was covered in blood. His eyes were as cold as winter.
"You escaped really quickly …" Not long after, another tall figure slowly floated down from the sky.
The person who had arrived was none other than the Torturer.
At this moment, Xing Shi's right hand was grabbing Hong Hu's hair and holding him in his hand. Hong Hu was not dead yet. However, he had lost the ability to resist. He could not even reach for the medicine in his backpack …
As for the Flying Steed … he did not survive.
"Ha … Or should I say, your reaction is fast enough …" Xing Shi said as he stopped three meters above the ground. With a casual toss, he threw the dying Hong Hu onto the ground. "Facing my surprise attack, you were able to dodge it with such extreme movements … This is beyond my expectations."
"There appears to be a gap between your style and your ability," Feng Bujue replied coldly and used the corner of his eyes to glance at Ambitionist on the ground.
Brother Jue did not rush forward to save Hong Hu. He knew that Xing Shi had thrown Hong Hu down to lure him over …
"What? Are you trying to say that I'm despicable? "Xing Shi laughed coldly." Haha … What a joke. Who said that the strong cannot ambush? "
"Hmm, that makes sense." Feng Bujue agreed. "You better remember this …"
"Crazy … no … sleep!"
Suddenly, another roar came from behind Brother Jue.
The familiar voice was filled with infinite anger and hatred.
Feng Bujue immediately retreated a few steps to the side and glanced at the source of the sound from the corner of his eyes … In a strange shadow, he saw a huge crystal cage.
This "cage" looked like a flat and round rattan ball. It was made of crystal and completely hollow. And in the cage, there was a monster with horns on its head.
"Sam Montier?" Feng Bujue asked tentatively.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Before he could finish, Sam Montier had already jumped up and rushed to the side of the cage. He stretched an arm out of the cage and waved his claws at Brother Jue. "I've been waiting for this day for a long time … Don't even think about running away!"
"Oh? This is interesting. " Xing Shi floated in the air and looked at them like he was enjoying a show. "Could it be …" He turned to Brother Jue. "… you are Feng Bujue?"
"Yes, I haven't asked who you are …" Feng Bujue replied without batting an eyelid.
"Xing Shi." Xing Shi touched the beard under his nose and said in a proud tone, "I am the main designer of Devil's Maw Island and also the maintenance staff." He smiled. "How is it? My work … left a deep impression on you, didn't it? "
"Humph …" Feng Bujue scoffed condescendingly. "Trying to show off in front of me, an artist …" He put his hands in his pockets and took two steps forward. "Ever since I was eight, I've been working hard to train myself. The only skill that I'm proud of is my creativity. From how I see it … this island that you've designed is like a tomb for imagination. "
Brother Jue looked at Xing Shi with a taunting gaze and continued. "To make the living creatures who wish to hear about their crimes unable to hear about their crimes; to turn the living creatures who wish for immortality into immortal wood; to drown the living creatures who desire beauty and purity into a dirty swamp … This kind of trick … haha … is the design of a self-righteous sadist." He scratched his chin. "Also, those boring creatures are nothing more than the mutated form of plants and animals. Can't you come up with a better idea?"
"You b * stard …" The fire in Xing Shi's heart grew, and anger was written all over his face. Feng Bujue's few sentences had successfully touched his bottom line.
"Even though I haven't met the other prisoners on the island, I have a general idea of what's going on." Brother Jue's mockery was far from over; it was just the beginning. "What kind of stupid idea can you come up with? Lock up a big guy who will keep growing in a small room? Make sure that a person who loves sweet stuff can only have mayonnaise every day? " He used his finger to tap his forehead lightly. "From how I see it, with your talent, to create something that will leave a lasting impression on others, there is only one way … and that is to perform a lobotomy on yourself."
"Who do you think you are!" Xing Shi roared angrily. "Ignorant human … you have no right to judge me …"
"Don't talk to me about qualifications." Feng Bujue cut him off loudly. "Even in this universe, I've met people who are more brilliant than you … I wonder if you know a puppet by the name of Billy. He is at least one hundred times better than you."
"What … did … you … say …" Xing Shi's teeth were about to shatter from gritting. He was so angry that he spat out those words one by one.
"Hahahaha …" A burst of laughter came from the other side. It was Sam Montier who was laughing in the cage. "Feng Bujue … in the whole universe, there is probably no one who is more talented at taunting than you … Hahaha …"
"What's wrong?" Brother Jue was as calm as ever. He caught something from the reaction of the two people (for the sake of smoothness, we'll call them humans for now). "Between Torture Master and Billy … is there some kind of hidden past?"
"Hahaha … There is nothing to hide." Sam Montier laughed from inside the cage. "It is just something that many people know …"
"Shut up, Sam Montier!" Sam Montier! "the Torturer shouted at the cage.
"Humph … Don't make a fuss, you b * stard …" Sam Montier scoffed. "This Cage of Despair is not your work; it is the creation of the Master of Time. You are just the key …" He leaned his face close to the cage, and a vicious glint appeared in his yellowish eyes. "… You think you have the right to order me around?"
Xing Shi's face was twisted with shame and anger, but he could not do anything … because he knew that Sam Montier was about to escape from the cage.
"Ha … Hahaha …" Suddenly, Xing Shi laughed. It was not a laugh from anger but a sinister laugh. "As a prisoner, your personality has not changed at all …" He said as he descended from the sky. "And you …" He turned to Brother Jue. "A mere human dares to speak so arrogantly before me …"
Xing Shi stood still and shrugged. "Fine … No matter what you think of me, today, I am just a spectator …" He raised his hand and pointed at Feng Bujue. "Feng Bujue, aren't you and your partner looking for a way to open the Cage of Despair? Hahaha … "He laughed again." I have already helped you open it. "
Brother Jue's expression shifted when he heard that.
Xing Shi continued, "The blood on your body … … which is the blood of that kid wearing the Saint Robe, is the key to opening the cage."
Crack!
Before he could finish his sentence, a very bad sound came from Sam Montier's cage. It sounded like something hard had cracked open …
"He is a believer of the God of Truth, Turex, right?" Xing Shi continued. "Haha … When his blood … dripped into this space, the seal was broken."
Crack! Crack!
After the first sound, it was a chain reaction. Several seconds later, the crystal cage that trapped Sam Montier crumbled and fell to the ground.
Obviously, after the seal was loosened, this was just a normal cage. Sam Montier's earlier ramming was enough to cause cracks to appear in the cage.
"Current quest completed.
"Main quest updated.
"Current quest completed.
"Main quest updated.
This continuous and repeated announcement meant that Brother Jue had completed two quests at the same time. When he opened up the mission panel, he saw that other than [Find a way to open the cage], there was also a new mission, [Remove the seal on the Despair Cage]. The latter mission was considered completed as soon as it was refreshed.
"Tsk …" Feng Bujue scoffed. "This quest is surprisingly easy …"
Actually, it was not easy at all.
If everything was normal, there was still one-third of the quest to complete. Furthermore, the way to break the seal would be different.
First, the players had to find the hint about the 'seal' in this space. Then, they had to find a mechanism to return to the main island of Devil's Chomp Island. Then, they had to find a few items and ask an NPC about the two ways to leave Devil's Chomp Island. (This could be skipped because Brother Jue had already heard about it from Fu Ling.) Finally, they had to return here to open the Cage of Despair.
However, due to Billy's intervention, Xing Shi's appearance disrupted the original plot.
"Hahaha … Hahahaha …" Xing Shi guffawed like a madman. "You two have a grudge against each other, but you have a grudge against each other. There is no need to thank me … Hahahaha …"
"You let go of such an important criminal without permission … Aren't you afraid that the Master of Time will hold you responsible?" Feng Bujue looked at him and said.
"You don't need to worry about me. You should worry about yourself first … Haha …" Xing Shi laughed. "Human, I would like to see how long you can maintain that arrogant attitude of yours."
Bang, bang …
While they were talking, Sam Montier had already stepped out of the cage. His giant hooves stomped noisily on the surface of the crystal. A pair of bat wings extended behind him, creating a gust of wind.
At that moment, the new quest in Brother Jue's quest tab perfectly explained the severity of the situation.
