Chapter 1765: Cruel Torture
"Childe Zhufeng, we're here! There are 8,000 soldiers inside and outside guarding the 3-kilometer perimeter around the prison. There is also a hidden alarm formation. It's impossible to get inside!" Ximen Shuoxiao said grimly. "On top of that, if you get caught entering or leaving, you'll be surrounded by dozens of prison wardens! Even a fly wouldn't be able to escape!"
"Okay." Chen Xiaobei nodded. "Go wait for me in a safe place. I'll contact you when I'm done."
Chen Xiaobei put on his upgraded Nightstalker outfit.
"That..." Ximen Shuoxue gasped.
"Bye." Chen Xiaobei stepped forward and the surface of the Nightstalker outfit rippled.
Like a chameleon, the pure black Nightstalker outfit took on the colors of its environment. However, when compared to the reptile, it was way more realistic and blended better with the surroundings.
After that, Chen Xiaobei put on a ghost mask which was perfectly camouflaged as well.
He was now almost completely invisible. It was certainly not an exaggeration to say that unless someone touched him, no one would be able to tell that he was there. The camouflage effect of the Nightstalker's new Special Ability and its stealth were pretty much the same.
But before the upgrade, however, the Nightstalker outfit's disguise did not work during the day. After the Milky-Way Patterned Cloth was incorporated into the original Nightstalker outfit, that no longer was a problem. It offered a flawless cover that even allowed its user to attack in camouflage mode! Similar to the Trump Card Assassin, it was extremely lethal and deadly.
...
In the next instant, Chen Xiaobei leaned against the corner of a wall and slipped into the prison without anyone even noticing!
In stealth mode, the Nightstalker outfit's appearance was not constant.
Owing to this, as Chen Xiaobei moved along the wall, his outfit would change rapidly to mimic the patterns of the bricks on the wall. The effect that it produced was flawless.
Dressed in the Nightstalker outfit an paired with boots and gloves, Chen Xiaobei was as silent as the night even when he shuffled along the ground hurriedly.
While the prison was teeming with soldiers and guards, no one noticed Chen Xiaobei's presence.
Making his way inside, Chen Xiaobei used his Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes to steer clear of all the formations, doing all that without breaking a sweat.
The task of getting into the prison might be an impossible feat for most people, but with these two cheat codes - the Nightstalker outfit and the Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes - it was child's play.
Even with all the cheats considered, the process of searching for the right people took Chen Xiaobei quite a bit of time. He had practically never met Luo Bin and Lin Xue before and was forced to inspect each cell one by one.
Fortunately, Chen Xiaobei had been informed that due to Luo Bin and Lin Xue's special identity, they were locked up together in the deepest parts of the prison. It was obvious then, that a man and a woman sharing a cell in this place was out of the ordinary. This logic helped Chen Xiaobei to identify Luo Bin and Lin Xue.
On top of that because of the airtight security in the prison, the chances of intruders getting in were practically zero! Naturally, there should be no one guarding the surroundings of the cell.
"Xiao'er!" Chen Xiaobei thought in his mind before Xiao'er flew out of the Myriad Beasts Ring onto the lock of the prison door. It took the creature only a minute to chew into the Earth-God material alloy lock.
"Bro Bei! Bro Bei! I got through!" Xiao'er punched the air excitedly. "Your ring is incredible! I'm not even at Ethereal Cultivation yet! Isn't that awesome? Hurry! Put me back! I want to continue my sleep... Oh, I mean... cultivate!"
"Lazy bug!" Chen Xiaobei laughed and returned Xiao'er into the Myriad Beasts Ring.
The Myriad Beasts Ring really was quite something. Its user or owner only had to put in Spiritual Stones to increase the healing process and cultivation speed of the Spiritual Beasts! Best of all, it allowed Chen Xiaobei to bring his Spiritual Beasts with him wherever he went! It was a very practical tool!
Chen Xiaobei gingerly pushed open the unlocked door, tiptoed inside and then quietly closed the door behind him. Although he had already seen the condition of the cell earlier on, the sight of it up close had Chen Xiaobei burning with anger. The cell was dark, damp and smelled of stale blood and rotten food.
Both a man and woman were tied to a cross with their heads drooping and their breathing labored. They showed no response upon Chen Xiaobei's entrance. Their condition could only be described as 'completely covered in blacks and blues'!
Wounds, large and small, carpeted their skins. There was not a patch of skin on them that was left unscathed.
Even the ragged prison clothes they were wearing were discolored with large blotches of black. The stains were not from dirt but the result of being soaked, again and again, in blood. Each new layer caked over the old so much so that the red had continued to darken until no longer recognizable as blood.
In the months they had spent inside this prison, they were made to suffer barbaric tortures which left them barely alive! If it were not for the fact that the Royal Dome authorities wanted to use them as hostages, they would have been tortured to death.
"F*cking Royal Dome dogs! They are monsters! If Puti sees this, her heart will surely break..." Chen Xiaobei let his words trail off. He could hear the blood rushing up his head, burning hotly in his ear.
If Chen Xiaobei's parents were the ones put through the same torture, he would have wiped out the entire Royal Dome capital city and eradicate from them from the universe!
Luo Bin and Lin Xue were more important to Puti than her birth parents.
If she had seen the condition they were in, Luo Puti would go into a mindless rage and do something even crazier than what Chen Xiaobei would have done! That was exactly why Chen Xiaobei had to rescue Luo Bin and Lin Xue.
Ensuring their safety would mean giving Luo Puti peace of mind so that she would not need to endure another round of emotional hurt and suffering again.
Chen Xiaobei cut the prisoners free with his Dragon's Edge.
Astonishingly, even the loud sounds of chains clattering did not wake them. It was plain to Chen Xiaobei that their injuries must be extremely severe. He took out about a dozen Taiyi Life Enhancement pills and a dozen more Spiritual Medicine and began to treat them.
"It's alright... You'll both be alright..." Chen Xiaobei muttered under his breath; the grizzled expression on his face reflecting the grim, unlit room.
