Chapter 758 Nether Thunder Prison
Chapter 758 Nether Thunder Prison
The Nether Lightning Prison was located on an endless ocean island. The entire island was surrounded by endless clouds.
This was because the area of this island was simply too large. If it wasn't for Xuan Qingzhu's deliberate reminder, everyone would have thought that they had arrived on another brand-new continent.
Using the naked eye to measure, even in extremely distant places, one could not see the boundary of the island.
What shocked everyone even more was that the entire island was surrounded by three hundred-meter-tall steel walls, each of which was filled with Star Guild martial practitioners.
The walls of each ring were only a hundred miles away from each other.
Xuan Qingzhu explained. These were the three strongest defenses in the entire Nether Lightning Prison. If the demons tried to escape from the island, they would have to break through the three defenses. Once they broke through the three defenses, it would truly be dangerous.
When the giant steel ship slowly sailed past the hundred-meter-tall steel city wall, everyone looked down with shock. They discovered that there were dense scratches everywhere on the outermost ring of the city wall! There are many traces that have been repaired.
This meant that some demons had really broken through to the outermost ring!
The giant steel ship landed on the inner side of the steel walls of the inner ring. There were a large number of fortress-like buildings here, and this was the core of the inner ring's defense.
There were a large number of martial artists patrolling around the fortress group. These martial artists gathered their Yuan Qi at all times and were ready for the most difficult battle.
No matter what purpose everyone had, once they arrived at this place, their hearts became heavy, and they didn't even have the mood to joke.
"Are you here?" From a fortress, a martial artist who looked like an army leader walked out. However, the emblem on his chest showed that he was not a soldier, but a member of the Star Guild.
Xuan Qingzhu quickly walked up and held onto the man's hand. "Thank you very much for the Star Guild giving us this opportunity to try out the young martial artists," he said.
The middle-aged man laughed loudly and said, "I should be thanking you for coming to help me regardless of the danger to your lives."
"The Guild has already told me the specifics. All of you, follow me in."
The man brought everyone into the fortress. The space inside was not small. There were brand-new topographic maps hanging on all four walls.
The man said, "Let me introduce myself first. I am a graduate guard of the Star Guild. My name is Hong Gang. I am one of the middle-level generals responsible for guarding the 72 sentries of the Nether Lightning Prison."
Hong Gang pointed to a map on the wall and said, "Because of the distortion of space, this island is complicated and changeable. Every three months, the entire Nether Lightning Prison's landscape will undergo an earth-shaking change."
Hearing this, everyone was slightly stunned. The terrain of the island would change by itself?
"No wonder there are so many maps. They look so new," Feng Xuan said thoughtfully.
Hong Gang said, "Over the past nine months, more and more demons have escaped from the Nether Lightning Prison. We suspect that a part of the distorted space has been torn apart."
"In order to detect the rift, we worked hard for six months and sacrificed more than a thousand heroic martial artists to find a total of 155 spatial rifts."
"So much?" Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
Hong Gang nodded and said, "According to your request, I have assigned you 115 cracks as mission targets."
Hong Gang casually tossed the red flag into the map and said, "Each flag is located at a spatial crack."
"The last time we discovered the spatial rift was two months and 23 days ago, so you only have six to seven days to repair it. Otherwise, the Nether Lightning Prison will change the terrain again. Time is of the essence. I hope everyone can take it seriously."
"If this repair is delayed, I wonder how many more heroic martial artists will be buried on this island forever."
Hong Gang ordered his subordinates to bring out a large box and said, "Elder Qingzhu, this is the Heaven Mending Spirit Stone. I'll leave the rest to you."
Xuan Qingzhu opened the box, and a faint orchid-colored light immediately shone from within.
A large box full of Heaven Mending Spirit Stones appeared in front of everyone. These Heaven Mending Spirit Stones were hexagonal, shaped like shuttles. They were translucent orchid colors, totalling 115 pieces.
She said, "Every Heaven Mending Spirit Stone is extremely precious. Even if I sell you, it is not worth a Heaven Mending Spirit Stone. Therefore, I have a request. No matter what, I cannot damage the Heaven Mending Spirit Stones in your hands."
Xuan Qingzhu took out a Heaven Mending Spirit Stone and handed it to Yue Donghai. He said, "Heaven Mending Spirit Stone needs to be activated with a martial artist's Yuan Qi. When you see the spatial rift, you only need to inject spiritual energy into the Heaven Mending Spirit Stone and throw it into the rift."
"In the end, we will determine which crack was repaired according to the spiritual energy that was filled up."
Everyone nodded in understanding.
Xuan Qingzhu said, "Now, let me introduce the rules of the competition."
"This time, we have nearly 600 people participating in the situational competition. In the end, half of them will be eliminated."
"At the same time, one hundred and fifteen spatial rifts will be distributed to the challenged party and the challengers according to the situation of the mission."
"The challenged side will bear 110 spatial rifts, while the challenger will bear 5 spatial rifts."
"It is unfair." Shen Liang frowned and said, "There are more than 500 of you. On average, every five of you only need to repair a crack to complete the task."
"There are only five of us. On average, each of us has to repair a crack!"
Xuan Qingzhu glanced at Shen Liang indifferently and said, "You should think so. We shouldered 110 cracks while you only shouldered five. Who is this unfair to?"
"Forget it, I can't say anything about her." Xiang Nan tugged at Shen Liang's sleeve, signaling him to stop arguing over this matter.
Xuan Qingzhu paused for a moment before continuing, "The elimination method is very simple. All of you can form your own team and register the name of the team with me."
"We will take the top 60 teams as the advancing teams. The remaining teams will be eliminated regardless of whether they are completed or not."
"Alright, now it's time to form a free team. You can discuss who you want to form a team with and come to my place to register."
Xuan Qingzhu sat behind the table and laid a scroll on the wooden table.
"What should we do? Should we act together or separately?" Xiao Jun asked.
Xiang Nan said, "It's best to act separately."
"Isn't this bad?" Yuan Meng said.
Feng Xuan threw a piece of candy into his mouth and said, "I agree with Xiang Nan's method. The five of us have to share five spatial rifts. If we act together, although the safety factor will increase, the time consumption will also increase greatly."
"If we fail to complete five missions in the end, then all five of us will be eliminated."
"If we split up, we won't have to worry about that. As long as we fix a gap, we can guarantee that at least one person will advance."
