Chapter 68: Detaining a Hidden Boss
Chapter 68: Detaining a Hidden Boss
The Void Messenger bowed politely to Wang Jue, his voice as tender as a young girl's.
Wang Jue remained silent, quickly pondering for a few seconds before asking, "The lord of Stormwind Territory isn't dead?"
"Thanks to you, the lord is still alive."
"He wants to ask me for help?"
"Yes, Lord, you wish to establish communication with you. I have his contact number here. Please be generous and have a chat with him."
Wang Jue thought for a moment, took out his communication token, and said to the Void Messenger, "Okay, give me his communication number."
The Void Elf then announced a 20-digit number.
Wang Jue then dialed the number, and the connection was quickly established. The person on the other end said first, "Is this Sister Yan? Sister Yan, this is Che Taizai from Storm Territory. I have obtained the billion-acre spirit field you designed!"
"Hmm? Sister Yan?"
Wang Jue was taken aback, but then he understood what was going on.
"The thank-you message from '[Billions of Acres of Spiritual Fields]' caused this car to misunderstand..."
Wang Jue was somewhat helpless. He disdained any pretense of pretending to be a woman and said directly, "Get to the point, I'm busy!"
"what?"
When Cha Tae-jae heard a male voice coming from the communication token, he was slightly taken aback, then said somewhat awkwardly, "Oh, it's Brother Yan! Haha, I made a mistake!"
"I'm hanging up if you don't get to the point!"
"No, no, no, it's like this..."
Che Taizai rambled on for a long time, and Wang Jue summarized it, basically saying that he was very powerful and would definitely become a powerful lord in the future, but he was currently facing difficulties and needed money and resources to overcome them. He offered V money and promised to repay him double in the future.
In addition, Che Taizai also said that his Void Courier is also very powerful, capable of carrying items and realizing remote transactions, and even military units can be packaged and traded.
He also introduced his own building, saying it was amazing in every way, and that investing in it now would yield a very high return!
Wang Jue originally didn't intend to pay any attention to Che Taizai, but when he heard that his barracks was called the Chaotic Altar and that it could randomly recruit one-star units from various sequences, he couldn't help but be intrigued and chatted with him for a while longer. In the end, he told him that he was busy at the moment and would contact him again when he had time.
After the communication ended, the Void Messenger vanished into the void.
Wang Juexin thought that if Che Taizai's Void Messenger could really achieve remote trading, and even be powerful enough to trade unit types, and considering that he had a Chaos Altar, then it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to exchange some high-quality units from him.
It would be even better if he had female soldiers there, saving him the trouble of spending a lot of money to hire female mercenaries in the 985 newbie village.
But that's not urgent. What we need to do right now is find the Blood Prison Passage as soon as possible, defeat the hidden boss, and open the hidden treasure chest.
Wang Jue continued exploring the Blood Prison Secret Realm. The map here was quite large and contained a lot of miscellaneous items. An hour later, after collecting four [Blood Castle Maps], Wang Jue found a mechanism knob on one side wall of the "Fire Duck University Dormitory". After turning it twice, the wall cracked open, and a staircase leading to the underground appeared.
"This must be the secret passage leading to the hidden area!"
Wang Jue was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to be careless. He had the fishman Sharion clear the way and walked down the stairs for about five minutes until they finally reached flat ground.
"Ding, you have entered the hidden area, Blood Prison Passage. Please be aware that the ancient creature slumbering in Blood Prison, the Blood Licker April, has awakened and is lurking within the passage."
"Ding! Please note that the Blood Licker's strength is recovering daily. Currently a four-star demon, it will grow into a five-star demon in 10 days, and a six-star demon king in 30 days, and escape the Blood Prison Secret Realm!"
"Ding! Notification: The Blood Licker is carrying a hidden treasure chest. The value of the treasure chest is proportional to the strength of the Blood Licker."
"Ding! If [Blood Licker - April] dies within 30 days, the first chapter of the world story [Fallen Flame - Bloodskull Fortress] will be unlocked. If he escapes successfully, the first chapter of the world story [Fallen Flame - Blood Castle] will be unlocked."
The system notification sounded, and King Jue knew he had come to the right place. He continued to have the fishman chieftain Sharion lead the way, and they slowly made their way through the tunnel-like Blood Prison secret passage.
After walking for about half an hour, the view suddenly opened up, and Wang Jue and the others arrived at a spacious stone chamber. In the very center of this stone chamber, a terrifying serpentine creature was coiled up.
He has the upper body of a human, but no eyes on his face. He has sharp teeth, a forked tongue that sticks out like a snake's forked tongue, a bald head and pointed ears. He has fin-like structures with sharp spikes on his neck, a hunched back, and carries a treasure chest on his back. His hands are long and thin, and each palm has an eyeball in the center.
His body was grayish-brown, and his lower body resembled that of a python, estimated to be seven or eight meters long. His body was covered with fine scales, but upon closer inspection, one could see that he had fine, centipede-like legs underneath his body.
[Blood Licker April: Four-star demon, ancient creature, currently recovering its strength; will advance to five-star demon in ten days.]
Wang Jue saw the brief information about [Bloody Licker - April] and felt reassured.
"What's the use of a four-star demon? It'll be upgraded to a five-star demon in 10 days, and a six-star demon in 30 days."
A sudden idea popped into Wang Jue's mind. After a moment's thought, he ordered his men, "Go! Hit him! Don't kill him, cripple him!"
Mad Dog King essentially stepped forward to fight the Blood Licker.
The four-star [Blood Licker April] is very strong, and its melee ability is even comparable to that of the four-and-a-half-star Scorpion-Tailed Black Flame Lion. However, Wang Jue's side has more people and the advantage in the situation.
Soon, [Bloody Licker April] was beaten to the point of near death. Wang Jue quickly ordered Mad Dog King and the others to retreat, and he took out the detention token from his storage space!
"Blood Licker April, please spend some time in my torture cell!"
A smile appeared on Wang Jue's face. He collected the token and used it. The Blood Licker, who was already powerless to struggle, turned into a beam of light and flew into the token.
At this very moment, in Wang Jue's Xuanzhou territory, in the torture cell to the right of the Crossing Bookstore, a flash of light revealed the first prisoner, namely [Blood Licker - April].
In the Blood Prison Secret Realm, an announcement rang out: "Ding! The hidden boss, Blood Licker April, has left the secret realm map. The hidden treasure chest has also disappeared. There are currently 0 treasure chests remaining in the secret realm!"
The moment the announcement rang out, the players wandering in the secret realm were completely bewildered.
"The hidden boss has left!"
"What do you mean? They escaped?"
"Was he killed by Thanos?"
"Damn it, there's no more treasure chest, what's the point of staying here? Let's go!"
"I'm leaving too. This map is rubbish, and there are far too few treasure chests!"
"I just walked in and they're telling me all the treasure chests are gone!"
Various opinions erupted.
Inside the Blood Prison's secret passage, Wang Jue was quite pleased, muttering to himself, "The detention token is really useful! The Blood Licker should also level up in the torture cell..."
He planned to have the beggars beg from Blood Licker Aprilis once he returned to his territory. There was no rush to kill this hidden boss; he could wait until he advanced to a six-star demon king before doing so, at which point the hidden treasure chest he carried would become even more valuable.
