My Cell Prison

Chapter 622: Chapter 622: First Collaboration

Huo Ziping’s vision.

His experience was vastly different from Han Dong’s.

The hidden passage corresponding to the lower end of the Holy City led straight to the dwelling of the Mother Superior.

As Huo Ziping stepped into a factory filled with straw scarecrows, the corresponding system prompt came:

“Sidequest – [Shell-making factory]has been triggered.”

Requirement: Completely destroy the factory, kill [Mother Superior – Idison].

Rewards:

①. A passageway leading outside the farm is unlocked. The curse will automatically be lifted when leaving the farm.

②. A special pictorial information can be obtained.

It was a relatively common sidequest, but at the same time, it offered another way to escape the farm in its rewards. As long as Huo Ziping could complete the side story here, his teammates could leave at any time through the underground tunnel.

His squad would gain an absolute advantage.

Therefore,

Facing the mechanical scarecrows hanging all over the factory area, or the advanced shell-makers cultivated by the Mother Superior, Huo Ziping intended to slay them all swiftly to penetrate the factory as fast as possible.

However…

The ceaseless waves of scarecrows gave Huo Ziping no opportunity to catch his breath.

Just as he pinpointed their life line and cut down two,

Before their bodies even fell, three more scarecrows took their place.

Even though Huo Ziping’s [stamina] far exceeded that of ordinary people, and every sword strike was made in a way to conserve energy… there still came a time when exhaustion set in.

At the deepest part of the factory,

sat an old hag in a white gown studded with five-inch nails.

From a distance, she looked full of wrinkles. Up close, one would discover that these ‘wrinkles’ were strands of ‘premium straw’ irrigated through the human body.

The Mother Superior herself had acquired the perfect straw curse, and with the premium straw provided by the factory, she had re-woven this perfect body.

The duty of the Mother Superior was simple, to serve the special other residents of the Residents Committee in the underground workshop by creating their ideal shells.

During this time, she also profited quite a bit herself.

“Just a little more… I will complete the work and get a resident’s permit for Derry Town.

Given my current curse, my army of scarecrows, and my perfect straw body, I won’t fall behind even if I become a true other resident.

Anyone who dares to disturb me at this time, must die!

To dare to break into my nest alone…the countless scarecrows are enough to exhaust his energy.

This special human cultivar will surely produce perfect straw. The final work maybe completed ahead of schedule.”

Thinking of this,

The Mother Superior began to continuously operate the levers in the room through straw root threads, quickly releasing her army of scarecrows…

Through the monitors scattered in the factory area, watching Huo Ziping gradually being overwhelmed by the scarecrow army, the Mother Superior, who was about to become a formal resident, couldn’t help but let out a rather disgusting twitching laughter.

At this moment,

A dragon chant sounded.

Huo Ziping unleashed his internal energy, and the scarecrows engulfing him were all blasted away.

His sharp gaze seemed to have seen the Mother Superior in the depths of the factory.

Despite the distance of hundreds of meters,

Despite the large number of mechanical scarecrows and obstacles blocking the way.

Huo Ziping still resolutely launched a sword strike.

The blade which resembled a dragon’s tooth, cut all the scarecrows in its path to smithereens.

Piercing through the numerous iron walls in the factory…

Boom! A dragon’s tooth slash mark half a meter deep was left on the iron door of the room where the Mother Superior was.

Scared, the Mother Superior instantly released more scarecrows, even some of her living guard army that she hadn’t intended to use.

“Even if it depletes the core minions I prepared for my promotion, I must kill you!”

Just as Mother Superior pulled several black-lined levers,

She prepared to watch how her live guard army would tear apart this yellow-skinned youth.

Caw caw caw… a flock of crows from nowhere scattered throughout the factory area.

All the monitors scattered in the factory were pecked and shattered by the crows, depriving Mother Superior of surveillance.

…

“There are too many.

Moreover, the special toughness of straw combined with the rigidity provided by the internal machinery makes it harder to sever the life line even with some effort, making it hard to conserve energy.

It’s completely impossible to estimate how many scarecrows are left here. This is a bit troublesome… are there advanced creations?”

At this moment, a group of living guard army over four meters tall, seemingly sewn together haphazardly, mixed in with the countless army of scarecrows, launched an attack on Huo Ziping all at once.

Just as Huo Ziping showed a troubled expression and began considering other solutions,

A large number of black crows gathered around him.

The crow feathers spread.

The “Bone Feather Robe” reveals itself as a robe made of black feathers.

Han Dong appeared as a black magician… Since Huo Ziping was armed with an epic level weapon, Han Dong also directly employed his epic level staff.

– Enhances black magic damage.

– Has a certain probability of ignoring the target’s magical resistance.

Tap!

The end of the staff lightly touches the ground.

“Black Sandification”

A wave of black ripple spread out in all directions.

The affected area, whether inanimate or animate, turned into black flowing sand… Even mechanical scarecrows were no exception.

Compared to Huo Ziping, who excelled in single-target attacks.

Han Dong’s area attacks were even stronger and more aggressive.

“Holy City, Valen. Nicholas… Are you okay?”

Since he encountered a fellow countryman here, Han Dong spoke in his native language.

He introduced himself in his native language.

Along with the spread of black magic, it greatly relieved the pressure for Huo Ziping.

This way of making an entrance gave Huo Ziping a very good first impression of Han Dong.

“Dragon City’s Huo Ziping, thank you for your help… I have found the location of the mastermind behind this, please help me clear up these creations.”

“No problem.”

Han Dong wore a friendly smile throughout, using black magic to clear the path for him.

A combination of black sand and Death Crows.

The spread of “Death” was fatal for these creations… They were simply unable to withstand the erosion of life by the black sand due to their weaker tier.

Huo Ziping cut open the iron door of the room where the Mother Superior was with his sword.

Several dozens of ‘Five-inch nails’ wrapped in curses shot out violently.

“Watch out!”

The Black Sand Barrier released by Han Dong was unable to block these cursed nails, just slightly hindering the speed of the nails…

“Sword skill. Royal sky”

The sword in Huo Ziping’s hand spun quickly, like a full moon.

The shot five-inch nails were all drawn into the full moon area formed by the sword’s spin… The sword receded and clink~nails fell.

In the huge room.

The Mother Superior had revealed her full form, transforming into a four-meter tall cursed scarecrow, her body embedded with cursed iron nails.

The entire room turned into a fluid-like straw matter which entangled anyone who stepped onto it.

But…

Caw caw caw~

Hundreds of crows flew into the room, blocking the Mother Superior’s vision and pecking at the straw on her body with their beaks.

“Sword skill. Dragon flash”

Huo Ziping slightly bent his knees.

Taking a light step, he vaulted over the flock of crows.

Flash!

With one sword, he cut the Mother Superior’s life line…

The two captains cooperated for the first time, easily executed the main person in charge of the tailor factory.

All the straw-like fluid receded.

A secret factory passageway leading to the outside world opened behind the Mother Superior.

The Mother Superior, whose main body had been slain, barely hung onto life through her “substitute”, turning into a hand-sized straw doll and shouting in anger:

“Even if you kill me, my master will resurrect me.

Hurry up and run! My death and the factory’s shutdown will anger the ‘master’, he will come here soon, you will all die here.”

Han Dong immediately grabbed the “substitute”, and turned to look at Huo Ziping.

“We’ll all be in danger once the other residents descend and initiate a massacre. Please ask Brother Huo to quickly use his light-footed technique to go to the surface and inform your squad members. Meanwhile, also bring my team members over.

We should leave the farm quickly and discuss the next steps.

I’ll watch the exit here. If a large number of scarecrows attack, I can handle them.”

Because the first impression was very good.

Moreover, Huo Ziping’s special observation ability could also determine that Han Dong was indeed a ‘genuine’ human.

“Alright, thank you!”

With the wind under his feet, Huo Ziping left the underground workshop.

A strange smile spread across Han Dong’s face as he turned to look at the Mother Superior possessing the substitute doll.

“Alright, let’s officially enter the hidden storyline…”
