Chapter 509 - 477 Jailbreak Riot
Da Fei stayed far behind the patrol, picked a lock, then moved on to pick another lock, and continued picking locks. In short, whoever came out was welcome to cause trouble—bro encouraged it!
As Da Fei picked this lock, he suddenly noticed that the progress bar was moving extremely slowly, reminiscent of the time he had to open the sewer manhole cover in the arena.
What the heck! What was wrong with this lock? Da Fei was puzzled as he glanced up at the creature in the cage—a grotesque mound of flesh with many arms and legs. It was a massive Bloodflesh Stitched Monster!
The Bloodflesh Stitched Monster, also known as "Abomination," was a type of Undead Creature, cobbled together by undead wizards from the body parts of various beings. Its combat ability varied greatly, and its intelligence was typically low, fighting on instinct alone. Usually, such undead creatures were nothing more than oversized cannon fodder for waste reutilization. But a Suture Monster worthy of imprisonment on this level must be extraordinary, right?
The fact that this lock was even slower to pick than the lock of the giant beast earlier, what did that indicate? Obviously, it meant that this Abomination was even more powerful, detained under higher security!
Alright, the more formidable they were, the more Da Fei liked them. He eagerly anticipated the result of picking this lock, though the slow advance of the progress bar made him uneasy. Indeed, just like the manhole cover incident before, failure might be imminent, right?
Finally, the progress bar reached the end, with a clattering sound!
—System Prompt: Unfortunately, lock-picking failed!
What the heck! Da Fei was startled. Was this some kind of joke? Failing to pick a lock on this level already—how exasperating would it be for the next level?
And just then, the Abomination in the cage suddenly spoke in a muffled voice: "Who?"
Da Fei was taken aback. "It can talk?"
The Abomination replied muffledly, "Douglas is intelligent, Douglas can speak! Rescue me! You are Douglas’s master!"
As soon as it finished speaking, the red name above its head turned to a neutral yellow. At the same time, a system prompt chimed in!
—System Prompt: You have received the task "Help from the Trapped Abomination!"
—Task Hint: Douglas is a Bloodflesh Stitched Monster with mysterious origins and extraordinary intelligence (compared to ordinary Suture Monsters). Rescue it, and it will pledge loyalty to you!
Da Fei was stunned on the spot! Shit! It turned out I triggered a task! No wonder my Universal Key couldn’t open this lock, it seemed I encountered a different task! Naturally, a task requires equipment from that task to open the lock, right?
If that’s the case, then there’s no time to hesitate! The patrol will return any moment!
Not necessarily! There’s still one last trick up my sleeve! Da Fei recalled how he had opened the manhole cover during the competition when a Korean girl forced him to use his Lucky Gold Coin. Under the effect of Invincible Luck, the manhole cover popped open instantly!
But now, without Invincible Luck, Da Fei only had the Lucky Hand, guaranteed to bring him luck once, and the A-grade artifact Misfortune Funnel, whose Luck Value fluctuated between -5 and +5! Will it work? We shall see with just this one attempt. If I fail, I’ll abandon it. I’ve prepared myself for total failure and to abandon the female clan leader. There’s nothing that can’t be let go of!
Attempting the lock-picking again!
The progress bar reappeared, this time with the Misfortune Funnel’s Luck Value starting at 0 and slowly rising to 1, then gradually to 2, 3! 4!!
5!!!
At that moment, Da Fei’s luck reached its peak, while the lock’s Luck Value reached -5—assuming such a thing even existed for locks!
Now was the time, Lucky Hand, activate!
A rainbow light soared, and in an instant, the progress bar shot to completion! Da Fei was overjoyed!
With a grinding sound, the entire steel prison door flashed with black light!
—System Prompt: You destroyed the Magic Seal Lock, breaking the prison’s magic barrier and successfully opening the cell.
Da Fei’s jaw dropped! My God, this was a magic lock with its own seal function. No wonder it couldn’t be opened normally!
But with my God-level Reconnaissance Technique, God-level Luck Skill, and Divine Skill Luck of the Hand, even if it couldn’t be opened normally, I could still force it open! Haha, bwahaha! I’m so badass! Even if it’s not the same task’s lock, I can open it for you anyway!
At this moment, the Abomination exclaimed in jubilation: "Master! Great! Douglas will be loyal to you. Although Douglas may appear ugly, it possesses a Soul Core in which I take great pride. It is the source of Douglas’s wisdom, the Life Core! Greedy dwarves have tried to steal Douglas’s Soul Core, but I’ve bound the soul with the body. If Douglas dies, they will gain nothing, so they had no choice but to imprison Douglas here! Now give Douglas three minutes to separate my Soul Core from my body, and I will dedicate my life to you! As long as the Soul Core exists, Douglas will be immortal and forever serve you!"
At this, the massive mound of flesh began to emit a faint white glow!
—System Prompt: The Abomination Douglas has joined your team!
—System Prompt: The Abomination Douglas has begun self Soul Separation, which will take 3 minutes. During this time, do not let Douglas die. If Douglas successfully separates his soul, you will gain the Soul Core. Even if Douglas perishes in battle, he can be reassembled.
Da Fei was utterly shocked! Damn! Three minutes—that’s enough time for the patrol to make two rounds! Normally, how on earth do you endure these three minutes for this task? Certainly not staying in the cage, right?
And just then, a loud roar echoed through the Lava Space, reverberating violently and causing Da Fei’s eardrums to ache!
Da Fei was thrilled! Did it work?!
Yes! Suddenly there was a loud crash, and an iron door flew out like a blade and smashed into the distant patrol, instantly turning several Fire Elements into ash!
Then the Crystal Turtle Shell Giant Beast’s massive, ferocious silhouette burst forth! Its immense strength was terrifying—no wonder it required four limb restraints!
In no time, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the cell block, and all patrolling Fire Elements began to spray searing flames at the Turtle Shell Giant Beast!
The beast’s roar and the prison alarm instantly awakened all the inmates, and soon the sounds of clattering prison doors echoed as the beasts Da Fei freed earlier rushed out!
—"Alarm! Alarm! A prison riot has occurred on the 4th level, requesting suppression!"
Da Fei laughed hysterically! Three minutes, we can do it!
Now all the Elemental Guards were rushing towards the freed prisoners. This rare opportunity couldn’t be wasted, so what better time to make a bold move?
Da Fei immediately charged to the next cell—a crisp cracking sound and another prison door flung open!
The anxious beast inside, of course, didn’t notice Da Fei in Stealth at first. Seeing the door suddenly open, it promptly rushed out to join the chaos!
Da Fei laughed heartily—this was precisely the outcome he wanted!
