Chapter 64: Charlotte is the leader of the alliance, Su Xiaochan
The flames in the furnace in the center of the clearing gradually extinguished, the large machinery nearby stopped operating, and the steam gradually dissipated.
Su Xiao doesn't know what role these machines have, but destroying this place may be beneficial to future operations.
With the sharpness of the Dragon-Slaying Flash, it was no problem to destroy these machines. Soon, the steel machines in the open space were severely damaged.
Looking around, Su Xiao found an elevator in the corner of the open space. The elevator looked old and had a simple structure. It had only a metal frame and was suspended by a wire rope. It was somewhat similar to an elevator.
Apart from this elevator, there was no other route in the open space. Su Xiao entered the elevator, followed closely by Bubotni and the little emperor.
There was a wrench in the elevator. Su Xiao exerted just as much force as before, and there was a click. The elevator vibrated first, and the sound of the machine's operation came from the surroundings. After a few seconds, the elevator slowly rose.
Crunch, crunch...
The sound of metal friction was very harsh. Although the elevator could be used with difficulty, Su Xiao felt that the thing would fall apart at any time. Bubotni was so scared that she clung to his legs.
As the elevator ascends, the surrounding scene changes, from black stone walls to metal texture.
Click!
The elevator suddenly sank, and Su Xiao's center of gravity was downward to keep her body steady.
After a few seconds, the elevator returned to normal and continued to rise slowly.
There is no bottom below. If the lift fails at this time, it will be a big trouble.
Fortunately, although this elevator looks unattractive, it is actually extremely strong and has never malfunctioned since.
After a few minutes, the elevator stopped and it rose probably hundreds of meters. This was undoubtedly good news. Su Xiao was closer to the ground.
The outside of the elevator resembles a large factory. The factory looks a bit old and has a large area. The factory is divided into compartments, forming many corridors. The corridors are intricately intertwined.
Entering a large factory, what you will see is a row of test tubes several meters high. The test tubes are filled with strange animals, most of which are dangerous species. Occasionally, humans can be seen.
These dangerous species or humans look strange. Some dangerous species have two heads, and some have more than a dozen hands.
These extra body tissues have traces of being sutured, and some are simply connected with metal, and rivets can also be seen.
These dangerous species have no breath of life and quietly soak in the solution.
"Which direction to go next."
Su Xiao walked into the factory and needed the little emperor to guide her.
"It's probably in that direction."
The little emperor points to the right.
"perhaps?"
"My instincts went away at this point."
Su Xiao looked at the little emperor with burning eyes, and the little emperor took a few steps back.
"I didn't lie this time."
"..."
After hesitating for a while, Su Xiao walked in the direction pointed by the little emperor. There was no other choice now.
After walking in the factory for a while, Su Xiao suddenly heard footsteps coming from a distance, but she didn't feel any creature approaching, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Su Xiao quickly glanced around. There were many compartments separated by iron plates nearby. After choosing one at random, Su Xiao opened the door and entered.
In fact, not only did the little emperor's intuition disappear, Su Xiao's perception was also greatly weakened here. Something was suppressing his perception, and his range of perception was reduced to less than two meters.
Inside the compartment is a small laboratory with a large number of instruments and test tubes. This should be the place where the alchemist works.
As soon as he entered the compartment, Su Xiao's pupils tightened, and he grasped the Dragon Slayer Flash tightly and prepared to fight.
There is a strange caveman in the compartment. The reason why it is called strange is because this caveman is wearing a yellowed white coat. One arm is made of metal. He is holding a test tube in his hand and is debugging something in front of the test bench.
.
The two sides looked at each other, and the caveman looked at Su Xiao in surprise, neither attacking nor shouting.
"Humans on the ground?"
It's strange that the caveman actually speaks human language, but his tone is a bit strange.
"right."
Su Xiao's forward movement stopped. He didn't know the origin of the other party. There was an unknown enemy approaching outside the compartment. It would be bad if the caveman suddenly shouted.
The current situation was a bit unexpected. The caveman was looking at him with joy on his face.
"Humans... finally humans are here. It's great."
The strange caveman put down the test tube on his finger and looked up and down at Su Xiao and others.
The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, and the cave man's face changed strangely.
"Shh, don't make a sound."
Su Xiao was stunned. The other person seemed to be afraid that the creatures outside would find him.
"There is a patrol force outside, you are no match, trust me."
The strange caveman ran towards the door. Su Xiao stepped back a few steps. The origin of the other party was unknown, so she must be cautious.
Strangely, the caveman kept the door of the compartment tightly closed, and was very afraid that Su Xiao and others would be discovered.
The footsteps outside gradually faded away, and the strange caveman let out a long sigh of relief.
"Humans...human beings on the ground, hahaha, great, I finally have a chance to get out, I can finally leave this hellish place. It has been six hundred years. I have been trapped in this hellish place for six hundred and thirty-one years and five years."
Months and seven days.”
Strangely, the caveman began to cry bitterly as he spoke.
"Hello, noble humans, my name is Sherlock. I was created by an alchemist who deserves death to help him complete his nonsense research."
The strange caveman, that is, Sherlock, has a very enthusiastic attitude. It seems that meeting Su Xiao and others is a great thing, but the big eyes that wander around mean that this guy has a high IQ and has a plan.
"Distinguished human beings, may I take the liberty to ask you where you are entering here? Is it the direction of the sacrificial hall or the alchemy door?"
Sherlock's eyes were full of anticipation.
Su Xiao secretly thought in her heart that this caveman named Sherlock should really want to leave here. The origin of this person is already obvious. He is an alchemical creature.
If Sherlock's words are true, then the other party has existed for hundreds of years, and the caveman's lifespan is only a short thirty years. There is no other possibility except to be transformed into an alchemical creature.
One of Sherlock's arms is made of metal, and the sheen of the metal can be faintly seen in the collar.
An alchemy creature that is eager to leave here has lived here for hundreds of years and must know this place well. A smile appeared on Su Xiao's face. The little emperor may not be important anymore.
"We are coming from the direction of the shrine."
"Tu Baba, afraid of Art... (unknown language)"
Sherlock cursed a few times in the language of the cavemen, and the fire of hope in his eyes extinguished.
"Isn't there an emergency exit here? Why don't you leave from there?"
Su Xiao sheathed the Dragon-Slaying Flash. Sherlock was not very strong and could solve it within a minute with his bare hands.
"Emergency passages can only be used by the royal family. Alchemy creatures like me... will be abandoned after being used. Damn alchemists, the royal family will not die well."
Sherlock's metal arm clenched and made a rattling sound.
"Sherlock, come here."
Su Xiao called Sherlock to a corner. Although the purpose of the other party could not be completely confirmed, the belief that he wanted to leave here was very credible. As for his personality, he looked extremely cunning.
Su Xiao is more willing to cooperate with Sherlock than the little emperor who often plays clever tricks but is actually a bit stupid.
Coming to the corner, Su Xiao whispered to Sherlock:
"My name is Bai Ye, and my goal is to leave here. Let's work together to leave."
Sherlock rubbed his chin with his hand, glanced at Lidya Su, and also whispered:
"Then we have the same purpose, but the big hole in the sacrificial hall is at least a few hundred meters high. It is easy to enter without touching any mechanism. It is difficult to get out from there. There are hundreds of various types of mechanisms, even if you can fly."
At this point Sherlock sighed.
"I have been trapped here for hundreds of years. I know how wonderful the outside world is. Can you understand this pain?"
Su Xiao patted Sherlock on the shoulder.
"What a tragic experience. What did you mean when you said that only the royal family can use the emergency exit?"
"Well, the door to the emergency passage was originally made by an alchemist ordered by the royal family. That door can use a special method to check the bloodline of the person who opened it. That door is actually a kind of alchemy creature without intelligence. The main materials are fine gold and Kalmarson.
Circuit, Bayachina element..."
Sherlock kept chattering, this guy's alchemy level is not low, after all, he has been trapped here for hundreds of years.
"Stop, I don't understand. Generally speaking, people from the royal family can open that door?"
"Yes, but that's not right either. The royal bloodline activates that door. I know how to open it later, but what's the use of it."
Su Xiao was secretly happy in her heart, but her face remained calm. Sherlock was much more reliable than the little emperor.
"That little brat, have you seen it?"
"who is he?"
"A direct member of the royal family."
Sherlock was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, a look of ecstasy on his face, but the hatred in his eyes was undisguised.
"Friend, I must be your most reliable partner. Let's go out together."
Sherlock was so excited that he was trembling.
"Okay, let's go out together."
Su Xiao and Sherlock turned their heads to look at the little emperor, who instinctively took a few steps back.
It's early to update, hehehe, but the title of this chapter is wrong. Please forgive me. It is very troublesome to change the title.
