Chapter 62 Wang Jue Produces Construction Blueprints Again
"This treasure chest is practically free! Let's see what's inside!"
Wang Jue stepped forward to open the Blood Prison Treasure Chest, only to find a progress bar above it. It would take two minutes for the progress bar to complete before he could open the chest. Wang Jue also had to stand in front of the chest. If he was attacked or moved too far away from the chest during this time, the progress bar would be cleared.
"This setup makes absolutely no sense to me since I've booked the entire venue!"
Wang Jue smiled slightly. He stood in front of the Blood Prison Treasure Chest for two minutes. The lid of the chest opened, and a burst of precious light shone out.
"Ding! Blood Prison Treasure Chest opened. You have been identified as a Lord player. Congratulations! You have obtained 3000 Star Coins, 1000 Soul Power, 1000 units of Food, and one [Torture Cell Construction Blueprint]."
[Torture Cell Construction Blueprint: After use, the lord player can construct a torture cell at a designated location within their territory. The torture cell allows the imprisonment of targets and provides various torture and interrogation tools such as water guns, spiked whips, hallucinogenic drugs, laxatives, tooth extraction forceps, boning knives, and suture needles. Targets imprisoned in the torture cell have their combat abilities sealed, cannot commit suicide, experience heightened pain sensitivity, and are more prone to weakness and fatigue.]
"Holy crap! There are actually buildings like this!"
After reading the brief introduction to the "Torture Cell," Wang Jue couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. He put himself in the shoes of someone locked up in the torture cell, where he would be helpless and unable to die, and would have to endure all kinds of torture. He thought he would be on the verge of a breakdown.
"There's no law in this world, damn it. I'd better be more careful in the future and not be too reckless."
Wang Jue immediately reflected on himself, muttering to himself, "I'll try to survive if I can. I'm willing to take the blame, but I'll let others die. After all, this isn't a survival game; I don't have to constantly face life-or-death crises, nor do I need to fight against fate..."
A moment later, Wang Jue put away the items in the Blood Prison Treasure Chest.
The harvest this time was extremely rich. In fact, even the "torture cell" was quite useful in Wang Jue's opinion. It was somewhat inhumane to imprison players, but it could be used to imprison wild monsters and BOSSes, not for torture, but simply to make it easier for beggars to beg.
Wang Jue continued exploring and, ten minutes later, discovered a passage leading to the second level of the Blood Prison.
The system described the second level of the Blood Prison as having an even harsher environment, with lava constantly surging up, making it unbearably hot. Upon entering, there was a spacious area resembling a hall, where Wang Jue discovered the second Blood Prison Treasure Chest.
This Blood Prison Treasure Chest was guarded by a fire monster the size of a water buffalo.
Wang Jue glanced over and immediately learned some basic information about the monster: its name was [Scorpion-tailed Black Flame Lion], a monster leader with a demonic sequence of four and a half stars, and the second boss in this Blood Prison Secret Realm.
Upon seeing the Scorpion-Tailed Black Flame Lion from afar, the ancestral giant cat became timid and lay on the ground, too afraid to move.
The reason Wang Jue brought the Primordial Giant Cat into the Blood Prison was because he valued its ability to bully the weak and fear the strong. This ability was more useful than Wang Jue's reconnaissance skills, allowing the Primordial Giant Cat to accurately assess the strength of its target, which in turn provided Wang Jue with some information.
"A four-and-a-half-star BOSS! Even a top-tier martial arts master of four stars would probably be no match for him in a one-on-one fight..."
Wang Jue observed the Scorpion-Tailed Black Flame Lion from a distance, refraining from making any rash moves. After a moment, he bypassed the Scorpion-Tailed Black Flame Lion and continued his exploration.
The second level of Blood Prison is very large, with many places to explore. Wang Jue quickly discovered pits or rooms such as the "Jailer's Restaurant", "Blood Prison Hot Spring", "Blood Prison Mine", "Colonel Fire Duck's Office", and "Colonel Fire Duck's Recreation Room". Of course, there are more prison cells here.
While there are no treasure chests in those pits and rooms, there are some useful items or resources that can be collected.
For example, Wang Jue found a [Blood Castle Map] in Colonel Fire Crow's office. However, this map is currently unusable. Its description states that it can only be used to open the portal to Blood Castle after the Blood Castle storyline begins.
And the Blood Domain Mine seems to contain resources such as fire element crystals and flame gems.
"It seems that it will take quite a while to thoroughly loot the second level of this Blood Prison and find that I don't have enough manpower. I should probably bring some more miners or something..."
Wang Jue stopped exploring. He had accumulated 1600 soul power points and was thinking of going home to recruit a few heroes, preferably one of whom knew mining, so that they could seize all the useful items from the second level of the Blood Prison.
It would be safer to take down the [Scorpion-Tailed Black Flame Lion] and the potentially even more powerful hidden boss in one go.
Having made his decision, Wang Jue returned to the entrance of the Blood Prison. He instructed Bafang Bubai, Wang Jianglong, Paodekuai, and Zhen Yongmeng to continue guarding the entrance, saying, "I'm going home to gather troops. You all stay here and keep watch. Call me if anything happens. If you encounter something you can't handle, prioritize survival..."
After giving him some instructions, Wang Jue then had Mad Dog King open the vertical coffin.
"After I enter the coffin, Mad Dog King, you carry the coffin and head straight for the portal we came from. Don't worry about anything along the way. Afterward, we'll return to our territory together."
After saying this, Wang Jue stepped directly into the coffin, too lazy to listen to Mad Dog King's infuriating lines anymore.
At this very moment, in the 985 newbie village, at the request of many players, two three-star archer NPC village guards finally set sail and drove away Zhao Xuanlong and his elven tree spirit squad.
"Hahaha, let you guys stretch your legs a bit first. I'm going back to buy ships and build troops. I'll be back!"
Zhao Xuanlong shouted. He dared not attack the two NPC village guards rashly, but once he returned to his territory, processed what he had robbed, recruited a few more tree spirits, and expanded his force, he would dare to kill the NPCs.
Many players were watching from the dock, and even after Zhao Xuanlong left, they continued to curse and swear.
Mengtata was also among the onlookers. She suddenly muttered, "It would be interesting if we could get this archer lord to attack Xuanzhou! Perhaps... I need to guide him a bit."
As she thought about it, a smile appeared on Mengtata's face. She felt that guiding Zhao Xuanlong to attack Xuanzhou would not be difficult.
Audron was also in the crowd. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Xuanlong leave, but he still didn't dare to go out to sea immediately. He waited for another hour and a half. When Zhao Xuanlong did not reappear and the other players had also gone out to sea, he carefully released the Star Sea Cloud Boat and headed towards Xuanzhou.
Wang Jue had already safely returned to his own camp.
He arrived next to the [Billion-Acre Spirit Field] and first took out the [Small Animal Recruitment Scroll] and used it.
"Ding! Successfully recruited the territory animal, the Taunting Crow, using the Pet Recruitment Token. The Taunting Crow can make a hoarse cawing sound similar to 'idiot,' and likes to hover over the heads of non-territory players, occasionally attacking with bird droppings."
"Uh, this is a prank animal, isn't it!"
Wang Jue also saw the mocking crow at this moment. It had black feathers and narrow eyes. It paced around the [Billion Mu Spirit Field], giving people a natural feeling of contempt. After flapping its wings twice, it took off and made a cawing sound. The sound was long and drawn out. At first listen, it really did sound like it was shouting "Idiot!"
"That's interesting!"
Wang Jue smiled, and then planned to use [Building Translation] to see what would happen if he planted buildings such as the automatic apple tree into the [Billion-Acre Spirit Field].
