"It's Master Benjamin!"
"Quick! Go save him! "
They were not in the sturdy fortress, so they did not know what had happened in the fortress. They only knew one thing — their superior, Warden Benjamin, had fallen into the mine.
This was a big shot who could control the life and death of everyone in the underground mine of the underwater city … Warden Benjamin's fall had caused the supervisors and wardens in the mine to panic.
But the place where Warden Benjamin fell was the place where most of the Siren prisoners gathered to hunt … In a moment of desperation, the wardens who were scattered all around immediately picked up their weapons and rushed over.
The fall of the warden had caused a large number of Siren tribes to fight over him, but it gave the prisoners who were trapped in a corner a chance to catch their breath.
A hunchbacked man with stubble on his face quickly picked up the food on the ground and hugged it in his arms. Then, he desperately rolled towards a stone ditch at the side.
He did not even care how dirty the food was as he wolfed it down.
"Professor Joachim."
At this moment, a steady voice rang in the man's ears — this made the man instantly stop eating. His body instinctively stood up and said hoarsely, "Who … Who is it?"
"Professor Joachim, I am Longgang. This time, I am here to save you." The voice became faster. "Now, don't ask anything, and don't speak. If you trust me, do as I say … You only have five seconds to think about it!"
"What should I do?!" The man almost instantly responded to the voice.
"Follow my instructions … Now, you need to leave this stone ditch first, then approach the fort's location! Remember, try not to attract attention! Now that the mine is a little chaotic, it is a good opportunity for you! "
The man … Professor Joachim heard this and nodded. In an instant, he stuffed the remaining food scraps into his mouth and struggled to climb out of the stone ditch.
Now, because of the chaos in the mine, the supervisors and wardens did not care about a prisoner with a weak body like him. Following the voice's instructions, Professor Joachim quickly found his way to the terrifying fortress.
The process was very smooth. Although Professor Joachim was frightened, he successfully arrived at the place that the voice pointed to. He looked around nervously, but there was nothing around him. Other than black rocks, there was only black rock walls.
"You … Where are you?" Dr. Joachim asked in a low voice.
In the blink of an eye, the stone wall in front of them suddenly moved. Then, a piece of rock slowly moved, revealing a hole that was barely big enough for an adult to crawl through.
Dr. Joachim mustered up his courage and hurriedly climbed into the hole. Then, he saw the light. He had not seen such a bright light for a long time, and his eyes suddenly became stinging.
"Hello, Mr. Joashur."
When his vision recovered slightly, Professor Joashur saw a man with a resolute face, but his eyes had double pupils … Other than that, around this man's neck, there was a ring of fine green scales, but he was wearing this underground mine's prison uniform.
Heresy!
In an instant, Dr. Joashur knew the other party's identity … It was a species born from the crossbreeding between the people of Underwater City and the Sea Demon Clan.
"You are?"
"My name is Long Gang." Long Gang quickly said, "I know you have a lot of questions, but if you want to leave this place, you can only trust me." Otherwise, you can only stay in this dark place forever. Death might be your best choice. "
Professor Joachim frowned, "You know Kaia? My wife … "
"Once we leave here, I'll answer your questions," Long Gang said quickly, "Kaia is a member of our organisation."
"As expected!" Professor Joachim's eyes narrowed, "What do I have to do now?"
"Put on these clothes." Long Gang quickly took out a set of prison guard's clothes and handed it to Dr. Joachim. "Please put it on. For these two sets of clothes and this rescue opportunity, we have already lost three of our partners lurking in the prison of the underwater city."
Professor Joachim could sense the heaviness in Long Gang's voice.
He silently took the clothes and put them on.
According to Long Gang, this secret passage was secretly built by his organization over a long period of time. This was probably to save the accomplices of the organization who had been infiltrated into the mine.
"This might be your only chance to save your comrades, but you're giving it to me …" Professor Joachim laughed bitterly, "What do you want from me?"
"Astral-6." Long Gang lowered his voice, "We want to know what happened to you in Astral-6, Professor. The kingdom's government has charged you with treason. After that, half of Astral-6 was destroyed and many people died. We asked around, but we didn't know the truth … After that, you were sent to prison. So, we speculate that you might have come into contact with something in Astral-6. "
Professor Joachim looked at the passage in front of him and frowned, "Astral-6 is just an ordinary medical research institute."
"Every year, all the newborns are sent to Astral-6 for vaccination," Long Gang said in a low voice, "A place like this isn't ordinary at all!"
"If I can leave safely, I'll tell you what happened in Astral-6 that day," Professor Joachim said in a low voice, "But the prerequisite is that I have to see Kaiya!"
"You'll see her soon enough." Long Gang smiled confidently and pushed open a metal door that was less than a metre wide. "This is the passage to the underwater city. It's our escape route."
Perhaps it really was possible.
Joy flashed in Professor Joachim's eyes. "So you're saying that Bnehamin's fall was also your doing? To attract the overseers and wardens? "
"No." Long Gang shook his head. "That wasn't my original plan … In fact, I didn't even have time to carry out my original plan. However, it's obvious that the warden's fall was more effective than the chaos I planned to create. "
"Don't you find it strange?" Professor Joachim frowned.
Long Gang said, "It's very strange, but I can't think of any conspiracy that would cause the warden of the underwater city to die tragically at the hands of the sirens … Perhaps something really did happen in the fortress."
Professor Joachim did not speak.
The conveyor belt that was transporting the minerals slowly rose … He raised his head and looked at the top. Every second felt extremely long and frightening.
"We're here!"
Finally, the conveyor belt gradually slowed down. It had reached the top.
Long Gang pushed open the lid above his head and took the lead to climb out. After a while, Long Gang extended his hand and pulled Professor Joachim out.
"We're really out …" Professor Joachim looked around in disbelief. There was a huge magical machine here, completing the sorting of the minerals that were sent up from the underground.
Of course, there would be someone watching over such a workshop … But at this time, there was no one in sight.
"Today is the opening ceremony of the Serpent Tournament and the first round of the auditions. Even the emperor will be attending." Long Gang smiled. "The overseers here are all slacking off … You should know that during the tournament, the people in the underwater city are so indulgent."
"How do we leave this place next?" Professor Joachim asked nervously.
"Follow me." Long Gang gave a reassuring smile. "Everything is ready … Later, we will give the emperor of the underwater city a great surprise."
With that said, Long Gang pulled Professor Joachim's arm and walked towards the entrance of the workshop. At the same time, Long Gang took out a box from his body.
A tool for long-distance communication.
Long Gang quickly said to the box, "It's me … The target has been successfully rescued. Levis, you can start now. Please reply if you receive it. Levis, please reply if you receive it! "
Long Gang's hand was pressing on the lock plate in front of the gate, but at this time, there was no response from the communicator for a long time. Long Gang could not help but subconsciously stop his hand.
"What happened?" Professor Joachim stepped forward and asked nervously.
"I don't know …" Long Gang frowned. The gate in front of him was slowly opening as he activated it. But at this time, a circle of scales on Long Gang's neck suddenly stood up!
His polycoria instantly expanded. Long Gang reached out and grabbed Professor Joachim's shoulder and retreated quickly!
But at this moment, a black whip, like a poisonous snake, shot out from the crack of the gate! The speed was so fast that it directly caught up with the retreating Long Gang and directly wrapped around his neck!
It tightened!
Long Gang was pulled to the ground, together with Professor Joachim!
The gate finally opened. A girl in a silver robe pointed at the black whip at this time and smiled. "Good afternoon, Professor Joachim, and … Mr. Long Gang from the Destiny organization."
"You are!" Long Gang's face changed slightly at this time, "The Silver Moon Witch under the emperor … Liuge!"
The girl just smiled instead of responding. Then, she raised her hand and the black whip rolled toward Mr. Long Gang. After a wave, Mr. Long Gang's body was subjected to a terrifying electric shock.
He screamed miserably … The electric shock was still going on. Professor Joachim on the side was frightened and did not have the courage to resist at all.
Until, Mr. Long Gang finally lost consciousness and fell to the ground, motionless.
At this time, the girl slowly withdrew the long whip and said with a chuckle, "Well, the next good show is about to start … Professor Joachim, do you want to watch together?"
…
…
Underwater City, Flying Serpent Competition Arena.
When the paintballs used for cheering stopped, the entire arena shook slightly — at the same time, the platform began to leave, and then a spiraling track began to slowly rise.
Like a giant snake.
One round after another … the spiraling track had quickly risen to the height of the highest position in the arena, but it was still rising!
It was not until this huge spiral track finally rose to the same height as the White Tower of the Underwater City that it completely stopped.
There were no obstacles, just a spiraling track, but it once again ignited the enthusiasm of the residents in Underwater City!
The rules of the competition were very simple. The first 30 contestants to reach the top would enter the next round of the finals … During the competition, there were no rules.
"Haha! It's really this [World Snake] track! My [Flying Serpent] specialized in accelerating at corners, it seems that it can be put to good use! "
Along with the gunshots that signaled the start of the competition, those [Flying Serpent] specialized in curves and climbing ability instantly rushed out, using their fastest speed to open up the distance between them and the rest of the contestants.
When the contestants at the front had climbed to the third curve, Reyaz, who was at the last position, was allowed to activate his [Flying Serpent].
He didn't aim to be the champion of this competition … but at least he needed to get through the qualifiers and enter the finals — even if he was the last to reach the top, it was fine.
"Asra, fight side by side with me!" Reyaz stroked the [Flying Serpent] named Asra under him, took a deep breath, and instantly activated it.
A stream of air shot out in an instant, lifting Asra up. Reyaz stabilized his body, and there wasn't any sway during the whole process.
"What a solid foundation."
At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor, who was at the last starting point with Reyaz, suddenly exclaimed in admiration.
This made Reyaz almost lose the balance he was maintaining … Thinking that the emperor was right beside him, and he was also the champion of this competition, Reyaz couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"Don't be nervous, young man." His Majesty showed a smile at this time, "I will walk with you and enjoy the scenery of the first half of the race."
That being said, the emperor's [Flying Serpent] still hadn't been activated … Reyaz had done a lot of research on [Flying Serpent], and he could tell at a glance that the emperor's [Flying Serpent] was just an ordinary model on the market. Although there was no problem with its performance, it was really …
"Young man, haven't you started yet?" The emperor suddenly smiled.
Reyaz quickly looked at the [Flying Serpents] in the lead and saw that they had climbed to the fifth lap. He was shocked and quickly rushed to the first lap.
"What a young and inexperienced child."
Louis XXXIX smiled, and then his [Flying Serpent] slowly moved — he would be the last to set off, and then he would reach the top as the champion.
At the same time, a pillar suddenly rose rapidly from the center of the spiraling race track — it instantly rose to the finish line of the race track.
The dazzling light screens in the surroundings were fixed at the top of this huge pillar.
There was a cross-shaped execution platform erected here … It seemed that someone was hanging on this cross-shaped execution platform … It was a man with his head lowered.
And above this man's head, there was even a huge guillotine hanging.
This sudden situation made both the inside and outside of the race instantly quiet down.
But at this time, the host's voice sounded.
"Beloved residents of the underwater city, as well as the contestants of this competition! Commendation from the kingdom's government! The identity of this hanging gentleman is a felon who bears the crime of treason! His name is Longgang! As you can see! The moment the first contestant to reach the top of this competition breaks through the finish line, the guillotine hanging on this felon's head will fall! He will have the honor of executing a traitor! "
The audience … Immediately, frantic cheers rang out.
