On one side, Elin looked at Thotmudos embarra.s.sed expression and couldnt help but burst into laughter.

As an elf, it seemed as if they were naturally at odds with dwarves. Seeing the dwarf on the losing end brought Elin great joy. Her gaze towards Ji Chen also became more favorable and friendly.

Well then, I hope that after you come out, youll be able to keep your promise.

Rest a.s.sured, with you making Thotmudo suffer like this, this sister will definitely fulfill my promise. Elin readily agreed.

Thotmudo furrowed his brows and almost got into an argument with Elin again, but he still said, Regardless, since a promise has been made, Thotmudo will definitely honor it.

Ji Chen also nodded. Ill go and lift the seal now. You two wait here for a while.

Both of them nodded in unison, suppressing their excitement and enthusiasm. After being imprisoned for thousands of years, a little more time didnt matter.

Before leaving, Elin seemed to recall something and said seriously, Remember to be cautious. Dont release the other prisoners. Many of them have lost their sanity over the long years, or theyre driven solely by the will to kill. Once they are set free, the consequences could be unimaginable.

Even in our prime, we might not have been able to defeat them.

Seeing Elins serious expression, Ji Chen also grew a bit more solemn and nodded. Then, without wasting any more time, he led his army towards the direction of the core laboratory.

The cage that held Elin and Thotmudo was located relatively closer to the front of this s.p.a.ce. This seemed to indicate that their imprisonment time was relatively short. The farther they walked, the longer the duration of imprisonment.

Whether these countless creatures and races had slipped into a profound slumber or perished altogether, they presented a lifeless demeanor, devoid of vitality. Yet, the imposing forms still triggered an unsettling feeling, as though an innate dread of monumental beings had settled in.

Ji Chen and his group walked for dozens of minutes before reaching the other end of the s.p.a.ce and entering another entrance.

They traversed a corridor that stretched for hundreds of meters, arriving at a heavy stone door.

Ji Chens expression became serious. Instead of immediately opening it, he retreated a hundred meters with his army and then had the eight Murloc Rangers step forward to push the door.

Creak

The frictional sound produced by the opening stone door resonated far within the enclosed pa.s.sageway.

After observing for a while and confirming that there was no danger, Ji Chen approached with his army, feeling relieved.

Through the opened door, they were greeted by a rather horrifying sight.

It was a rectangular chamber that was several times the size of a soccer field.

On the left side of the chamber, there were stone tables arranged, each laden with gla.s.s jars containing various organs submerged in green liquid.

In the center of the chamber stood several stone beds stained with dried blood.

Restraints soaked in fresh blood were affixed to them. Black and red dried blood was embedded in the crevices and patterns.

The wall to the side was neatly lined with various types of torture devices, a diverse collection comparable to an exhibition of such implements.

Taking in all of these elements, a s.h.i.+ver ran down Ji Chens spine. That Lich was truly deserving of being called perverse by Elin and Thotmudo. Indeed, he was quite twisted.

Temporarily ignoring these things, Ji Chen began to search for the controls to the seal and the magic array. While Elin mentioned that there should be controls here, she didnt specify what they looked like or where they were. Ji Chen dispatched his heroes and soldiers to search around while also checking if there were any valuable items left behind.

One hour later.

The last unit returned under Alices lead, shaking her head as she addressed him, My Lord, we havent found the control switch, nor have we discovered anything valuable. This place seems to be merely an experimental site.

Hearing this, Ji Chen couldnt help but feel a bit disappointed.

Setting aside the fact that they didnt discover the control switch, there wasnt even a solitary item left behind?

The Lich had tidied up quite thoroughly!

Looking at the room filled with jars containing limbs and organs, Ji Chen fell into deep thought, pondering the details he might have overlooked along the way.

Time for a perspective s.h.i.+ft.

If he were the Lich, he probably wouldnt have left the most precious experimental materials and the core of the magic array, the switch, so simply in this place. No matter what, he wouldve added some extra security measures.

Perhaps, apart from this room, there was another hidden chamber.

With this thought in mind, Ji Chen decisively gave the order again.

Search one more time. Inspect every inch carefully!

If you find something that seems like the target, dont touch it and notify me immediately!

The heroes turned serious and focused, guiding their armies to different areas and initiating a thorough search.

And this time, the search bore fruit.

Three hours later, Benbo hastily ran back from a corner of the room to report.

Lord, 1 found a spot that might be the switch!

Ji Chens spirits lifted, and he promptly had Benbo guide him.

Guided by Benbo, they arrived at a row of metal shelves on the right, which held a.s.sorted torture devices.

The pa.s.sage of time had corroded these metal shelves to the point of decay, and the instruments on them were scattered on the ground, piled up in disarray.

It was precisely due to the corrosion of the metal shelves that a slightly recessed brick on the backwall became visible.

Ji Chens expression brightened..
