【Thousand Fantasy】Snake and Rabbit in the Same Cage

·VC News Agency: Shocked!Miserably, Meitu is imprisoned, but her original husband indulges in pleasure. The reason is this...

The damp, dark stairs continued to extend underground, and as the wizard's flame ignited the candlesticks on the wall, a gecko quickly crawled out of Huan's sight.

A pair of metal shackles were worn on his hands. As long as he struggled a little, or tried to use magic, the pain like being burned by a raging fire would run along his arms and spread all over his body.Of course, this is what the wizard told him. From the very beginning, he never struggled.

Under the sentry post where the wizard is stationed, there is a secret door disguised by an enchantment.He couldn't guess what kind of place it would be down here. There was darkness in front of him, and the candlesticks behind him were also extinguished as they walked away.There are uneven excavation marks on the ground and walls, and the space is cramped. Spiders spinning webs and bats hanging upside down can be seen everywhere.

Gen looked around, thinking that with such a crude project, it seemed that they would not have too many enemies to face.

"The promotion system you mentioned just now, if you want to show your strength in front of the high priest, wouldn't it be easy to put on a white robe?" Huan walked down while chatting with the wizard behind him.He sensed that his messenger had led Qian Kong to find the entrance, but the entrance was guarded by layers of barriers, so it was not easy to open.

The wizard smiled coldly: "Little rabbit, don't you think that, as the high priest of the empire, you can't see that my magic power comes from black magic?"

All black magic, without exception, is magic launched at the cost of sacrificing one's life.Just like the magic circle used by wizards to capture the magic power of the orcs, as the magic power continues to deplete, the orcs will become sacrifices to sacrifice their lives.No matter how much the empire admires power, it will not allow such magic to exist aboveboard.Because once that time comes, perhaps not only the orcs will be sacrificed.

However, for wizards, black magic is indeed a shortcut to quickly increase their power.

"So, you need to use my illusion to confuse the high priest's eyes?"

"You have this ability. I was also fortunate to be present at the performance in front of the hall. Even the high priest admitted that he couldn't see through the mystery of your illusion, didn't he?"

Huan couldn't deny it, it seemed that the other party knew a lot about him.Of course, from their brief conversation, he also saw clearly what kind of person this was.

Even if a wizard gains power enough to rival a high priest by virtue of black magic, he cannot be recognized here.It is ridiculous that the ultimate long-cherished wish of human beings to pursue power is only to satisfy the ever-expanding vanity and desire.The one in front of him is obviously one of those who fell into the abyss of desire.

The wealth and courtesy that white-robed wizards can get, and even the way they are viewed by others, are completely different from those of the lowest blue-robed wizards.Simply having power does not satisfy him, he desires status even more.

"Why do you think I'm going to help you?" he asked, finding himself at the bottom.There was a salty stench in the air, he frowned, he was all too familiar with this smell.

It's blood, and even rotting flesh and blood.Mixed with the feces of underground creatures, and a damp and musty smell.

"Because I know that you are willing to do anything for money. The bones of a rabbit like you are not too hard." The wizard said, stroking the thin back of the rabbit in front of him.He was satisfied to see the rabbit tremble for a moment, and continued: "So I'm sure, in order to survive, you will obediently obey my words."

Those nobles who were interested in the illusionist Qian Wugen, after approaching him, all brought back this message without exception: If you have enough money, you can ask him to provide you with any service.Those who think they have succeeded will even use every detail of what happened between him and that beautiful rabbit as a talking point, showing off to other people who have no money or courage.

But they will never know that it is just an illusion woven by rabbits.

"Yeah, that's the kind of rabbit I am." Huan felt his hands land on his tail covered by the hem of his clothes, he turned around and took a step back, and said with a smile, "You plan to lock me in here?"

"Next month is the ceremony, and all wizards who want the high priest to reassess their class will participate. As long as I complete the tasks assigned by the high priest, I can leave this day and night sentry forever. Before that..." The wizard Having said that, he lit the next candlestick, and imagined that there was a long corridor as deep as the stairs in front of him.On both sides of the corridor, there are rooms separated by iron railings.

Gen finally understood that this was a dungeon.

"I will bring you something to eat every day." After the wizard said, he opened the door of one of the rooms and made a gesture of invitation to the rabbit.

Phantom walked in obediently.

There was nothing in the cell, only the greasy moss on the corner of the wall, and a pool of sticky blood that was nourishing the moss.He remembered that the messenger he sent had received news of the disappearance of the orcs.

The sudden disappearance of the orcs living nearby is a very common thing for other humans and orcs.Perhaps finding a new employer, or planning to move to another city, are the reasons for their disappearance.After all, they are different from humans and are not the masters of the city.Being displaced in the stone forest built by humans is the fate of most orcs in this land.

It's just that there were too many orcs leaving around him suddenly, which inevitably attracted some people's attention.After hearing the hallucinations about hunting the orcs, they fed back to the hallucinations that many of the same kind around them left without saying goodbye.

Huan thought that they were killed by wizards and then cleaned up at will by the funeral home, and they might also be buried in the lion's mouth.Now it seems that there may be a possibility of being alive.

In this long and narrow dungeon.

"He's going up, little Qiankong, be careful." Qiankong was studying the enchantment at the entrance when the white bird that had been guiding him suddenly landed on his shoulder and turned into a fluffy bunny.The little rabbit spoke, and it turned out to be Huan's voice.

He grabbed the rabbit's ears and picked it up: "What is this?"

"It's me, I'm phantom." The little rabbit was swayed by him unconsciously, and continued: "As long as the messenger touches the recipient, he can change into my appearance. But now I am restricted by his magic weapon The use of magic can only become this.”

"..." Qiankong looked at the curled up little rabbit, speechless for a while, and then put it down.

The little rabbit jumped to his feet and said, "Anyway, you hide first. Don't worry about me, the messenger has no breath."

The snake clan's ability to hide their aura is outstanding, which is why the wizard only found one person, Huan.Qian Kong picked up the little rabbit, hid outside the sentry gate, and asked, "Is this the same as my familiar?"

"It's not the same. The messenger can only talk to the recipient, which is equivalent to a microphone. Listen to me, there is a dungeon below here, it seems to be closed..."

Qian Kong pinched the rabbit's ears, but the little rabbit did not respond.It seems that this little rabbit is not connected with phantom senses.He couldn't help pinching the little rabbit's tail again, it was fluffy and felt good.

"I guess the orcs who disappeared before are also here. I'll go and see when I find a way to unlock the handcuffs that lock my magic power...Xiao Qiankong?"

Qian Kong put his hand under the little rabbit's stomach, and the little rabbit turned over and lay in his arms, allowing him to stroke.

"Strange, the magic power is too weak to receive the signal? Xiaoqiankong? Are you there?"

"Ah, I'm listening, you continue." Qiankong hugged the little rabbit and glanced at the place he left just now. Sure enough, as the magic power spread on the ground, a door appeared out of thin air.The wizard came out of the door and walked up the sentry tower.

"I tested him just now, and I felt that his aptitude was mediocre, and he completely relied on the magic power he snatched from the orcs. This kind of magic power cannot be stored in the human body for a long time. He will start to act again, which means that it is time to replenish the magic power. That's the end of it. As long as we cut off this supply, that lion..."

The messenger in his arms suddenly stopped talking, Qian Kong worried: "Huan, are you alright?"

After a while, he heard the voice again: "I'm fine, but... I think I've found the lion."

The lion has been following them from a distance, but unexpectedly, she also descended into the dungeon.However, she was not locked up, nor was she in shackles.He just walked past Huan's cell very slowly with his body hunched over in a daze.

The wizard left only a candlestick for Huan, and the candlelight projected the lion's figure on the wall of the empty cell opposite, flickering into a treacherous black shadow like a giant monster.

She suddenly turned her head and glanced at Huan with her bloodshot eyes.At that moment, the rabbit felt his scalp exploded.

Fortunately, the lion seemed to understand that there was an insurmountable iron railing between them, so he turned his head and continued to walk deep into the dungeon.Huan crouched by the door to watch where she left, but could only see her lifeless back like a critically ill patient gradually blending into the darkness, leaving behind the sound of her heavy footsteps.

Another hurried footstep sounded from the direction of the stairs.

Senku immediately remembered the method to open the dungeon door.He waited until the wizard's breath appeared on the top of the sentry tower before he returned to the room.The little rabbit in his arms didn't say a word, he called Huan's name a few times, but there was no answer, so he opened the door anxiously and ran into the darkness.He didn't know how long he had been running, but he saw the dim light of the candle, and also saw that he had finally run to the end of the stairs.

"Are you okay?" Qian Kong followed the light to Huan's cell.He was relieved to see the rabbit standing on the iron railing intact.He immediately petrified the railing, and when he knocked hard, the railing broke off.

Seeing Qian Kong appear, Geng's pale cheeks finally turned blood.He didn't have time to rejoice, and said eagerly: "The lion is in this dungeon, we have to open this first."

He raised his hands, revealing the shackles under his wide sleeves.Although he never used magic tools made by human wizards, he had resold many of them in order to make money, and he had a general understanding of the value and magic power of various magic tools.He knew that the quality in his hand was so high that even a white-robed wizard couldn't break free easily.Just letting the courier maintain the appearance of a little rabbit just now made his arms constantly suffer from burning pain.If he tried to force it open, Gen might faint from the pain before it opened.

"The key is with the wizard, and I can manipulate the messenger to steal it from him." After thinking about it, there was only one way.

"No need." Qian Kong said, he took Huan's hands and rubbed the edge of the shackles with his fingertips: "In order to withstand a large amount of magic power, the material is very special. As long as a part is broken down, the rest will disintegrate by itself."

As he spoke, he began to try to control the elements that synthesized the shackles.Gentle stinging pain continued to come, and Gen frowned.

"Does it hurt?" Qiankong asked, "I have tried to reduce the output of magic power as much as possible."

"It hurts." Rabbit blurted out.After a pause, he squeezed out two more tears following his own words.He didn't know why he did this, the tingling was not even as strong as the pain when he controlled the messenger.But seeing Qiankong's crimson eyes softened all of a sudden, he couldn't help lying.

Qian Kong was hesitant and anxious to open the shackles, but he didn't dare to continue dismantling them.When he was in a dilemma, Huan stretched out his head: "You kiss me and it won't hurt."

Qian Kong instantly increased his strength, causing the shackles to snap in half like a freshly baked biscuit.

The rabbit swallowed the scream alive.

This time it was really painful to the point of tears, but Qian Kong didn't even look at him, and chased him straight into the darkness.Seeing that the rabbit didn't keep up, he turned his head again and said impatiently: "Hurry up, Teacher Huan, I can't handle that lioness alone."

"It's a pity that I thought you were gentle just now." Huan followed with resentment.He thought that he shouldn't expect anything from Qian Kong.This guy would give him a little illusion of being loved every now and then, and then wake him up in no time.

Huan conveniently brought the only candlestick, illuminating every cell they passed.Every room was empty, but there were bloodstains on the floor, walls and even the railings.Some are fresh and viscous, and some have dried up.Without exception, the amount of bleeding was enough to kill.

Finally, he came to a cell with people, and saw two figures curled up in the corner of the wall. He held a candlestick and went up to check, and saw clearly that they were two aged antelopes.They cuddled together and looked like a couple.

"Grandpa, grandma, are you all right?" Huan whispered.

They didn't answer, and didn't even dare to raise their heads to see who was calling them, they just hugged each other and couldn't stop trembling.

Presumably, they all saw the lion that just walked past.This instinctive fear firmly engraved in the genes will be awakened whenever the natural enemy approaches.

"Teacher Huan, there are people here too, they are children." Qian Kong looked at the other cell and said.The little child inside cried and rushed to the railing and shouted, "Brother, help me, help me out."

The deeper you go, the more orcs are imprisoned.Some cells were filled with people, and some cells had blood.

"We have to rescue them." Huan had vaguely noticed the reason why these people were imprisoned and the source of the blood.Where is a dungeon here, it is simply a granary for lions.

"No, let them out now, the wizard will stop them outside. We have to deal with the lion and the wizard first..."

Before Qiankong could finish his sentence, he heard a scream from the deepest part, like a wild animal struggling to die.The two looked at each other and ran towards the place where the sound came from.The narrow corridor suddenly opened up, and a bright underground square appeared before their eyes.It was a sunken square, very deep, and about a dozen orcs were trapped below.They were fighting fiercely, while the female lion stood above the square, staring down motionless.
