Chapter 600 - 700: The Boat Has Arrived
It seems these liquids exist not to kill them, but to torment them.
However, if they just stay quietly on the stone bed, then they won't be tormented by these liquids.
At this moment, Ye Tianfan's hope for escape plummeted again since he saw the nature of these liquids. It's not something he can fend off. If those people have something to protect themselves from being killed by these liquids, then he doesn't have any. Given his current situation, if he falls into this liquid, he will surely die.
"Hey, newcomer over there! I advise you to jump into the water. Once you're dead, it's all over."
Just as Ye Tianfan was still thinking, suddenly, the person who earlier was annoyed by the person trying to jump into the water spoke to Ye Tianfan.
Ye Tianfan looked over in confusion, and before he could speak, the person continued, "Jump if you want, I'm just giving you a heads-up. After they experiment on you, it will be hard to die. Every person before being experimented on thought they had a chance to escape, so they kept waiting and were afraid to die. You'll understand later!"
After finishing, that person lay back on the stone bed and ignored Ye Tianfan's calls.
Ye Tianfan reflected on what the person said and felt it was quite accurate. Those who wanted to die couldn't, while those newly captured surely didn't want to die.
But once the time is missed, after being experimented on, it really becomes difficult to die.
However, Ye Tianfan is not just anyone, he is a Qian Yuan-level cultivator, not just an ordinary person. Although he's currently imprisoned, as long as he can unlock these chains, he could be free again!
Furthermore, Ye Tianfan checked these chains. They are just simple locks, which can be easily unlocked with a bit of wire.
The reason Ye Tianfan is so good at unlocking is because, when he was young, he wanted to play outside but his family insisted he study medicine. To prevent him from going out, they locked the main door.
Initially, they used this kind of lock, but since Ye Tianfan easily opened it, they started using new ones. In order to go out, while studying medicine, he began to study unlocking techniques, so gradually, the locks got more advanced, and his unlocking skills got better.
Until one time, Elder Ye used the world's hardest lock, the Lu Ban lock, which Ye Tianfan couldn't open.
However, Elder Ye couldn't open it either, so to go out, Elder Ye had the servants remove the door.
And now, what Ye Tianfan lacks is a small piece of wire.
But Ye Tianfan found a small stick on the stone bed one bed away, and it looked thin. After considering it, the small stick should be able to open the shackle on his leg if used right.
However, just as Ye Tianfan was about to leap over, he suddenly heard the sound of an iron door opening, followed by the sound of paddling water.
But because Ye Tianfan could only see in front of him in the cell, he couldn't see where the paddling sound came from.
But as the paddling sound got louder, Ye Tianfan knew that sound was getting closer, and if nothing unexpected happened, it was either coming for him or for a nearby cell.
And it seemed more likely it was coming for him since in the three visible cells across from Ye Tianfan, about twenty-seven people were all experimented on, and in Ye Tianfan's cell, there was just him left unexperimented.
If someone came directly for Ye Tianfan, the chance would be much smaller, unless no one's been experimented on in his row, and they were coming to take him for experimentation.
At this moment, Ye Tianfan couldn't resist at all, unless he jumped into the solution. Otherwise, Ye Tianfan couldn't even fight against a first-level cultivator.
Then, with a pounding heart, Ye Tianfan saw a small boat glide past in front of his cell.
But to Ye Tianfan's relief, the small boat paddled straight ahead and didn't stop here.
After a while, he heard the sound of wailing and shouting and then heard those turn into soft, painful whimpers.
It seems the person tried to resist but was quickly subdued.
Then Ye Tianfan saw the small boat paddle past the front of his cell, and no one on the boat glanced at him.
Yet Ye Tianfan saw clearly; a middle-aged man with a head injury lay on the small boat, his eyes filled with deep despair.
Soon the boat disappeared from Ye Tianfan's sight. He stared at the direction it went, seeing nothing but the black-gray wall, yet still staring in astonishment.
In his mind, he wondered, if it were him, how would he save himself? Should he really let them experiment on him?
Then Ye Tianfan heard the paddling sound disappear, followed by the sound of the iron door opening and closing.
It seems they have left.
Ye Tianfan then set his sight on the small stick. Though uncertain if it could open the shackle, it was currently his only hope. If it could be opened, great; if not, he would have to resort to using hair, over a hundred strands.
Ye Tianfan pulled at the shackle on his foot to check its length.
He found that no matter how he tugged, the chain seemed endlessly pulled out from the liquid below.
After a moment, half of the stone bed was piled up with chains.
Seeing this, Ye Tianfan smiled, realizing he could move to anywhere in the cell!
He stood up, prepared, then pulled out more slack on the shackle on the other foot and tossed it onto the stone bed he planned to jump to.
Ye Tianfan did this because he worried during the leap, the chain might suddenly retract or become heavy, causing him to fall.
