Chapter 138: Escape from the Water Prison
Chapter 138: Escape from the Water Prison
Outside the water prison, everyone was looking forward to the start of the auction with great enthusiasm. Inside the water prison, the spirit-toothed swordfish were released one by one from the underwater passage.
The iron cage that Ye Lianxi and the others were in was originally suspended high in the air by chains, some distance from the water surface. But as the decibels of the booing outside the curtain continued to rise, the person in charge understood the people below and began to lower the height of the chains, allowing the iron cage to slowly approach the water surface.
The hungry swordfish kept jumping out of the water as they saw the food, trying to attack the iron cage that was shaking and slowly sinking. A dozen swordfish jumped out of the water and fell down, making a loud noise, splashing huge water in the closed water prison, making all the girls in the cage wet.
Although the Spirit-toothed Arrowfish is just an ordinary mid-level spiritual beast, it swims very fast and its two rows of tiny teeth have amazing bite force. Because its arrow-shaped upper jaw extends forward and stores spiritual energy, its attacks are extremely sharp and hard.
I have never seen such a scene. Except for Ye Lianxi and Bai Ke, the other girls were all terrified. They all grabbed the pillars of the iron cage and huddled in a corner, trembling.
Although Ye Lianxi could not use her psychic power without the psychic bracelet, it was not a problem for her to open the small iron cage.
Although this cage can block the released spiritual power, it cannot block the energy of the spiritual body in the body.
When the upper jaw of one of the spirit-toothed arrowfish was about to pierce the gap in the iron cage, Ye Lianxi poured the energy separated from her own spirit into the keyhole, instantly opened the cage, and jumped out with all the girls.
Without the support of the iron cage, they were about to fall into the water and were about to be bitten by the dozen or so sharp-toothed swordfishes under their feet.
But the next second, Bai Ke, who was no longer restrained, turned around flexibly and stretched out his uninjured left hand towards the water below.
In an instant, the entire water prison was frozen into a crystal clear glacial world. Even the spirit-toothed swordfish that had just jumped out of the water was firmly frozen by the ice and fell onto the solid ice surface. It sparkled in the light...
The onlookers were all stunned, and even the people inside the auction city were confused. No one thought that anyone could walk out of the special iron cage.
This is a special ore that was bought at a high price in the underground auction city. It is a material that is powerful enough to imprison all spiritual energy. How can the cage made of it be opened without a key? No one knows.
The originally noisy stands turned into absolute silence in an instant.
In the water dungeon, Bai Ke fell on the ice and turned her head to look at Ye Lianxi who was standing beside her. The wound on her right shoulder was still aching slightly, but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Although he didn't have any good feelings towards the human race, Bai Ke inexplicably wanted to get close to the woman in front of him.
"I didn't expect you to be able to open the cage. It seems I underestimated you!"
Standing barefoot on the smooth ice, she had to maintain balance and endure the cold, but seeing Bai Ke's proud look, Ye Lianxi couldn't lose face so she had to show a tough look and grit her teeth to persevere.
"Same here! I didn't think you could really turn them all into ice cubes!"
Seeing Bai Ke standing on the ice, he felt more at ease. Ye Lianxi frowned.
[She is a member of the Xueyin tribe after all! Can’t she feel the cold at all? ]
Staring at the stands outside the water dungeon with a stern look in his eyes, he felt Ye Lianxi standing on the ice beside him, as nervous as an ant on hot pot. Bai Ke finally stopped the cold air that was still being released and spoke.
"I've done everything you asked me to do! What do I do now?"
Bai Ke was puzzled by Ye Lianxi's request to freeze the water prison after opening the cage, but she still did it. But now, although the ice surface temporarily stopped the attack of the spirit-toothed swordfish, it also trapped them on the glacier!
How to escape? She doesn't want to be anyone's slave!
No! The Xueyin tribe has no slaves!
"give it to me!"
Nodding slightly to Bai Ke beside her, Ye Lianxi turned around and shouted to the girls who were still sobbing on the ice behind her.
"What are you all crying for!
We are about to leave here! You should get to know each other quickly! Say goodbye!"
After saying that, she smiled slightly, leaped up and landed on the iron cage that was still hanging in the air...
"What are those female slaves going to do? Do they really think they can escape?"
"Wow! The women of the Xueyin tribe are so hot! I really want to buy them!"
"What's going on? Is there really an accident? Are the Phantom Clan so unreliable?"
"Are you blind? This is obviously a performance!"
That iron cage is made of sea barium ore! Even if the top two spiritualists on this continent were locked inside, they wouldn’t be able to open it without a key!”
In the busy stands, the crowd was talking a lot. Suddenly, a thin figure stood up, looking at the familiar figure in the water dungeon, his hands shaking.
The man was dressed in black, and was surrounded by a group of subordinates who were also wrapped in black and wearing white masks.
The lips under the mask moved slightly, and the man's eyes were dazed. He spoke in an excited tone that even he himself could not believe.
"This is... a stupid woman?!..."
In the empty water dungeon, the other girls who fell to the ground were unable to stand up because the ice was too smooth. This also made the two figures standing upright in the field more eye-catching.
The person in charge of the opening auction process was shocked by the sudden situation at the time, but he felt that he had been in the underground auction city for many years and had seen many storms. Even if the iron cage was really opened, the sturdy and closed water prison would not allow them to escape.
After a long silence, the person in charge calmly composed himself and immediately came up with a statement to resolve the discussions present. He then used his spiritual power to make a sound loud enough for everyone in the audience to hear.
“…The show is over now!
All the auctioneers present here! You have all seen it! The innate ability to control ice and snow elements, this is indeed the real Xueyin tribe!
Anyone interested in buying them can start bidding tonight!
I remind you again! In this underground auction city, if you don’t fight for something you like, you will never get it again!!”
As soon as the person in charge finished speaking, people thought that what had just happened was just a performance and not an accident. The stands resumed their shrill and high-pitched shouting, followed by even more intense and repeated bidding, with each price higher than the last.
"I'll give you twenty high-level spirit stones to buy that Xueyin tribe woman."
"I'll give you fifty!"
"One hundred and twenty!"
"Two, two hundred!"
"This Xueyin tribe is indeed rare! I'll offer three hundred and seventy!"
"CNMD! Who dares to snatch it from me? Five hundred!!"
