Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1369: Chapter 751: Escape Room, Performing Magic for Chen Yu (Part 3)

Qing Chen asked with a faint smile, “I thought you might secretly keep it.”

The Great Elder waved impatiently, “Can I be like you knights? Besides, this time you helped block the Chen Clan’s way to the Fire Pit, I owe you one.”

Qing Chen shook the crystal vial containing the God’s blood, preserved over millennia.

He always felt that Ren Xiaosu’s blood was different from ordinary people, and upon closer inspection, it seemed to glimmer faintly.

He put away the God’s blood; this would be the key to developing the A-Class Genetic Potion in City Number 10.

Qing Chen looked at the experimental subject, “You said you ate five companions. Where are their bones? You surely couldn’t have chewed their bones to pieces.”

“I buried them outside. Go around to the back of the lab, and you’ll see the graves on the open ground. I piled them up with stones I found in the river. Sometimes I sit there for a while,” the experimental subject said.

Chen Jiazhang and the others fell silent. This experimental subject was indeed pitiful, wanting only to cure his illness.

Da Yu coldly asked, “You don’t want to kill it? You feel sorry for it now, but with the human-faced bugs guarding this place all dead, if it gets out, ordinary people will be the ones to suffer. If you don’t want to kill it, I will.”

Qing Chen shook his head, “I’m not so hypocritical. This is something I can do myself.”

With that, he turned to the experimental subject, “Sorry, you can’t leave here alive.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the experimental subject bared its fangs and roared, but Qing Chen swiftly twisted its neck.

Life is full of choices, and this particular one wasn’t the hardest Qing Chen ever faced, not even close.

“We’ve wasted too much time on this experimental subject. What should we do now? Fight our way out?” Da Yu asked.

The Great Elder sneered, “Are you crazy? Outside are the main forces of the Chen Clan and the demigod Chen Yu. We couldn’t get out of here even if we had nine lives!”

“I don’t want to confront them directly because I don’t want the Kingdom or the Future Organization to hear that I’m still alive,” Qing Chen stood up and said. “With the human-faced bugs obstructing, Zong Cheng slipped away silently, which means there is an escape passage here prepared for researchers.”

“No,” the Great Elder shook his head, “I haven’t seen any passage. If you want to go, you’ll have to risk jumping into the Underground River and go with the flow. You might drift to safety at the end or drown in the river; no one can tell. There are quite a few oxygen tanks in the base, but the oxygen has long since leaked.”

Qing Chen pondered deeply; there must be an escape passage, and it was through this passage that Zong Cheng left.

But where could this escape passage be?

In truth, Qing Chen already had the answer in his heart.

…

…

On the cliff above the cave, Chen Yu stood calmly at the edge, silently gazing into the abyss below.

A Chen’s military officer said, “Officer, the lift will be ready soon, just give us 20 minutes.”

Chen Yu nodded, looking down, lost in thought.

At this time, dozens of engineers came over with a telescopic ladder, quickly measuring the distance below and starting to assemble the ladder nonstop.

In just a little while, six ladders extended to the bottom of the cliff.

The engineers clambered down the ladders, securing them with pneumatic nails into the rock wall to keep the ladders steady.

The soldiers of the Chen Clan descended like ants, one after another, while Chen Yu rode a Green Ox down.

After the officer landed, they spread out immediately, some heading upstream to search, others downstream.

Soon, they also saw rows upon rows of glass vessels embedded in the cliff, along with plaques mounted above them.

Chen Yu saw all this and felt that the secret to becoming a god was very, very close.

However, the next moment, he saw four Uncle Li Dong blocking their path from atop the Green Ox.

Chen Yu sneered, “Do you think this can stop me? You’re already trapped here. Since you went down here, don’t think about coming out.”

With that, Mahasri beside him floated out, rushing toward the four Uncle Li Dong.

But these four Uncle Li Dong didn’t confront directly; they turned and ran, shouting all the while, “Chen Yu is here! Chen Yu is here!”

In truth, Chen Yu had never seen such absurd Uncle Li Dong before…

It was really damaging to that demigod’s image.

But these Uncle Li Dong were slower than Mahasri, and in just a few breaths, all four were killed.

Actually, Chen Yu felt a slight thrill seeing his creations overpower Uncle Li Dong.

Chen Yu said coldly, “Speed up, turn this place upside down, don’t let them get away!”

An officer said, “Don’t worry, sir. We’ve used sonar to map this area’s terrain. Ahead is a dead end.”

…

…

Meanwhile, Uncle Li Dong’s voice also reached the lab area.

Da Yu said, “Chen Yu has arrived, we need to leave now. Do you know how we can get out of here?”

Qing Chen looked at him and suddenly asked, “Why do you think Zong Cheng released the experimental subject before leaving? He’s a cautious person; he immediately tore off his nameplate after leaving the glass vessel to hide his identity. Why would he go out of his way to release the experimental subject? Isn’t that creating trouble for himself?”

Everyone fell into deep thought.

Qing Chen said, “Because the room where the experimental subject was held is where he needed to go. Only by releasing it could he get through. Let’s go perform some magic on Chen Yu: a group of magicians who killed nearly ten thousand of his soldiers, disappearing into a secret room at the end of the corridor, how interesting. Da Yu, put the experimental subject’s body into the Space Ring.”

At this moment, Da Yu suddenly realized that Qing Chen must have thought of this long ago, which is why he told him to summon the painting deities to clean up, sweeping away the dust and footprints.

But then he suddenly realized how naturally Qing Chen was ordering him around now.

Thinking of the Divine Artifact Death Shroud, Da Yu decided to bear it for the time being…

At this time, Qing Chen turned and walked towards the room where the experimental subject had once been held without any hesitation.

He walked to a glass vessel and pushed it aside with force, revealing a narrow staircase beneath!

Da Yu and the others were shocked. They didn’t even know when Qing Chen had found this exit!

“That experimental subject probably never realized that the escape route it longed for was right where it used to stay. How ironic,” Da Yu sighed.

“Irony is plentiful in life,” Qing Chen smiled and said, “Let’s go, we’re leaving.”

The Great Elder breathed a sigh of relief, “I thought I’d have to fight the Chen Clan’s demigod again. I was ready to sacrifice myself for the Fire Pit.”

Qing Chen took a deep glance at the dark lab and spoke softly, “One day I’ll kill him, but not today. Da Yu, release the paintings, confuse the Chen Clan soldiers and Chen Yu, and let them find this place a little later.”

With that, Qing Chen arranged for everyone to file in, and two Uncle Li Dong, responsible for moving the vessel back into place seamlessly, charged out.

There will be another chapter before midnight.
