Chapter 2827 - 2827 The imprisoned Roddy (1)

2827 The imprisoned Roddy (1)

Rody lay stiffly in the bone Cage. He struggled to move his body but found that his muscles and bones had been destroyed.

The bone-deep pain made him frown, but he couldn’t make a sound.

“How long have I been in this cage?”

Rody thought hard for a long time before he came up with a vague answer.

He had been imprisoned in this cage for a full year. It was already a miracle that he was still alive.

Other things aside, in a situation where there was no water or food, only cultivators could persist for such a long time.

If he was an ordinary person, he would have died dozens of times.

Everything that happened today was a complete accident. Rody did not expect it at all.

When he was travelling through the void, he had accidentally entered this world and was captured by the foreign cultivators.

After being tortured for a period of time until he was half-dead, Rody was turned into a slave to excavate the ancient God’s corpse.

He had tried to resist, but he was no match for the foreign cultivator and was almost killed.

It was precisely because his resistance was too intense, in addition to his strength, that he was sent to the most dangerous area.

These dangerous areas were located within the ancient God’s corpse. The deeper it was, the more dangerous it was, and the more terrifying it was.

Even the strong alien cultivators didn’t dare to set foot there, afraid that they would never return.

There were also some areas that were explored and controlled by foreign cultivators. They could be mined, but the danger still existed.

Even alien cultivators had to be careful, not to mention the prisoners without any shields. The chances of them encountering danger would be a hundred times higher.

Once one entered these areas, there was basically no chance of survival. It was a hell that all prisoners feared.

It turned out that there was a special soul crystal in the head area of the ancient God’s corpse that could greatly nourish a cultivator’s spiritual power.

However, the gathering process was very dangerous. One could be attacked by soul crystals if they were not careful.

It turned out that after a long period of evolution, these environments had developed simple thinking and strange abilities.

They blended in with the environment like a venomous snake, hiding in the petrified flesh.

Once someone tried to excavate it and touched the location of these soul crystals, they would be attacked by them.

The soul Crystal’s attack method was to enter the target’s body and live as a parasite in the target’s sea of spirit. It would then continuously absorb and absorb the target’s spiritual power as its food.

After a prisoner was parasitized, they would slowly become a walking corpse and eventually become a corpse.

After the host died, the soul essence would slowly gather together, transforming from the original invisible state into a tangible crystal.

No accidental deaths were allowed during this period. Otherwise, the soul crystals would spread and disintegrate, and there was no way to collect them again.

Soul crystals were extremely valuable and rare, so they were highly valued by the cultivators of the clan.

As long as a prisoner was attacked, they would be directly locked up in a special cage.

The foreign cultivators would let the prisoners die slowly, and when the soul crystals in their bodies were slowly formed, they would take them away at the right time.

The bone cages hanging in the air were full of unlucky souls who had been attacked by soul crystals. They were imprisoned and slowly waiting for death.

Rody’s luck was not good. He had exploded a soul crystal while mining and almost died on the spot.

When the foreign cultivator found out, he did not hesitate to throw Rody into the bone Cage.

The cage next to him once held a few prisoners. When Rody was imprisoned, they were already on the verge of death.

Because they had been imprisoned for a long time, these prisoners were already like lamps that had run out of oil, and their bodies exuded the smell of death.

When they saw Rody, their dry eyes did not show any emotions.

Rody knew that these prisoners had completely given up hope. They were completely empty shells.

Not only did the soul crystal drain their energy, but their bodies were also extremely weak. When the last trace of their will collapsed, death would follow.

In the following days, Rody witnessed the death of the prisoners. His emotions turned from excitement to numbness.

Through the solid white bone Cage, he watched the other prisoners slowly decay into rotten flesh and white bones, and the stench drifted everywhere.

He had wanted to escape, but his energy was being devoured at every moment, and his physical strength couldn’t be replenished, making the thought of escaping become an extravagant hope.

This was the reason why the foreign cultivators didn’t care about the prisoners escaping.

In addition to the soul Crystal’s effect, there were also special shackles on these prisoners.

Once a cultivator was shackled by these shackles, they would become like an ordinary person, with only their strength left.

It was the same for Rody. He had always wanted to escape, but he found that his despair was getting worse and worse. In the end, he slowly gave up the idea.

He was surrounded by despair at every moment.

This was actually the result that the foreign cultivators wanted. The more desperate they were, the easier it was for their sea of spirit to collapse and be absorbed by the soul crystal.

Rody did not want to end up like the other prisoners and become a skeleton. However, in such an environment, he felt helpless.

The days passed by just like that. The prisoners around him all died, and their bodies were constantly rotting, slowly condensing into soul crystals.

Rody did not know if it was an illusion, but he could often see the souls of the prisoners wandering around the soul crystals.

Their faces were filled with despair and unwillingness, wailing every second.

When Rody was in a daze, he would subconsciously look at the soul crystals. He knew that one day, he would become like that.

As for the commotion below, it had nothing to do with him.

Due to the influence of the soul crystal, he had even forgotten to think and was in a dazed state all day long.

If there were no accidents, this state of being a walking corpse would continue until the arrival of death.

Today, as usual, he looked ahead in a daze, where there was a prisoner’s skeleton.

There was dried skin and flesh on the surface of the skeleton. Due to the influence of the soul crystal, the rotting speed of the corpse was much faster than the outside world.

In just a year’s time, they would turn into white bones, and the dried flesh and blood would turn to dust.

Rody clearly remembered that the owner of the skeleton had once smiled at him.

The smile was very scary because he looked like a skeleton that was only skin and bones.

The smile was frozen on his face, and until it rotted, the other party had been smiling at him.

The slow-witted Rody thought for a long time before he figured out one thing. In fact, when the prisoner laughed, he had already breathed his last.

The smile that he had felt strange at the beginning seemed to be a relief now. It was obvious that he was glad that he did not have to continue suffering.

After thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Being imprisoned in such an environment was indeed worse than death.

Rather than struggling on whilst at death’s door, it was better to die early to be free.

However, when he saw the familiar scene again today, he felt that something was wrong, as if something had changed.

Rody’s thoughts had slowed down to a serious extent. It took him a long time to realize what was wrong.

It turned out that in this almost frozen scene, there was an additional pocket-like object placed within reach.
