Wait for death?
After listening to this fellow’s words, the trio were shocked.
What the hell was this place?
To be honest, Wang Mang was on the verge of collapse. He had been looking forward to a land filled with milk and honey, but reality had smacked him on the face hard!
Now, he was stuck in what was essentially a death row prison cell!
Wang Mang and the Dog Emperor looked at the Black Bear Emperor angrily.
Although they had yet to figure out what this place was, they knew that this was definitely not a good place!
Seeing their furious gazes, the Black Bear Emperor said in an aggrieved tone, “I wasn’t trying to trick you guys! Didn’t I follow you guys here as well?”
“What’s worse is that the stone can’t absorb energy from this place, which means that there really isn’t any energy here!”
“If it can’t absorb energy, we won’t be able to go back.”
Toward the end, the Black Bear Emperor burst into tears.
Hearing this, Wang Mang’s heart sank, and the Dog Emperor’s face was filled with despair.
Moments later, a loud thud rang out, as a corpse fell from above. As there was a hole in the middle of all of the floors, if anyone fell or jumped from above, they would come crashing down.
At this moment, Wang Mang saw a middle-aged man on the upper floor of the stone prison tower poke his head out and excitedly say to Wang Mang, “Give me half of the corpse and I’ll tell you what you want to know.”
Wang Mang was stunned at first, but then he nodded and said, “If you tell us what we want to know first, I’ll give you half of the corpse.”
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, “Impossible. How about this?
Give me an arm first, and I’ll tell you.”
Hearing this, Wang Mang did not waste any time. He walked over to the corpse, tore off an arm with great effort, and was about to throw it up, when the middle-aged man said, “Stop! Hold on. I’ll give you something to tie it to.”
After saying that, the middle-aged man threw down a makeshift rope that was made from tying clothes together.
Although Wang Mang was confused, he tied the arm to the end of the makeshift rope, and watched as the man pulled it up like a fishing line.
Moments later, Wang Mang saw a scene that left him speechless. This man hugged the severed limb and began to gnaw on it. He mumbled, “1’11 tell you now.”
“As I said before, this is the Soul Refinement Prison. Basically, no one who enters this place has ever left alive.”
“There are a thousand floors in this tower, so there are occasionally experts who can’t take it anymore and commit suicide by jumping through the hole in the middle.”
“Because in this place, death is a relief.”
“This place seals the power of all things, and even a peak-level Tier 4 expert is no different from an ordinary person here.”
“Generally speaking, a Heaven Immortal realm expert should be able to last for a month here.”
“I’m an Immortal Emperor realm expert, and have already endured for almost a year. This is because 1 was lucky enough to eat something twice.”
“Otherwise, 1 reckon that even someone like me wouldn’t last more than a year. Alright, that’s the rundown of the situation. Now, we all just need to wait for death.”
After hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Wang Mang fell silent. He did not expect that even someone as powerful as this man was powerless here.
In that case, were they not sh*t out of luck?
Thinking this, Wang Mang could not help but ask, “Big brother, how did you get imprisoned here?”
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly.
“Why? Of course, it was because 1 offended the Purgatory Lord.”
“The Purgatory Lord is a Tier 5 expert. At the same time, he’s also a Tier 5 formation master and alchemist.”
“This Soul Refinement Prison was built by him in conjunction with a Tier 5 artifact refiner that he hired. Only Tier 5 experts can escape this place.”
“After we die, our flesh, blood essence, and power will be refined and used as his alchemy materials.”
Wang Mang was speechless, and even wanted to cry.
At this moment, the middle-aged man chuckled.
“How did the three of you offend the Purgatory Lord?”
“Logically speaking, you shouldn’t have offended this guy. You haven’t even reached Tier 4 yet, so you don’t have the qualifications to offend him…”
Ugh…
Wang Mang wanted to curse out loud.
When had he offended any Purgatory Lord, whoever he was?
All he had done was to follow the Black Bear Emperor to this damned place!
To be honest, Wang Mang even felt like strangling the latter to death right now. However, in the end, Wang Mang ignored the middle-aged man’s question.
He could not possibly tell the middle-aged man the truth.
Seeing that Wang Mang did not answer his question, the middle-aged man did not bother to probe further. He quickly said, “I’ve already told you what happened. Give me my half of the corpse now.”
However, Wang Mang sneered and completely ignored the man, which made it immediately obvious to the man what was happening.
“You bustards! You don’t even keep your word! I hope you die early so that I can eat your corpses.”
At this moment, the Dog Emperor stood up coldly and sneered.
“There are three of us. Come down and try it. Let’s see who eats who.”
After hearing the Dog Emperor’s words, the middle-aged man cursed for a while before ignoring Wang Mang and the others.
At this moment, the Dog Emperor looked at Wang Mang in despair and bitterly said, “Brother Wang Mang, what do we do now? Are we really going to wait for death here?”
At the same time, he kicked the Black Bear Emperor.
“You fool! Just look at where you f*cking teleported us to!”
“Was this what you had in mind? Is this the land of opportunity you were looking for?”
Upon hearing this, the Black Bear Emperor broke down and wailed, “I don’t know why we’re here either! Why is this happening? Are we really going to die here?”
“I don’t want to die! My parents passed away early, and I still have to carry on my family’s bloodline!”
The Dog Emperor was speechless and immediately kicked him again, cursing as he did.
“F*ckyou! If I really die here, it’s all your fault!”
“F*ckyou! The more I think about it, the angrier I get. I’ll beat you to death, you son of a b*tch…”
As for Wang Mang, he did not pay any attention to their argument.
He walked over to the side and sat down far away from them. With his back against the stone wall, he quickly asked in his heart, “System, is there any way to leave this place?”
[Ding! The host can use energy points to charge the multicolored teleportation stone! However, the host’s current energy points balance is insufficient for this!]
[Ding! The host can open Gachas, Treasure Chests, and other rewards to gather the energy points required to charge the multicolored teleportation stone!]
After hearing the system’s response, Wang Mang finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Damn it! He had come here looking for treasures, but it seemed that he would have to give them up to leave!
