Chapter 653.

The old jailer took another sip of wine.

The big sip turned into a small sip, looking at his careful expression, like he was afraid to drink all the wine in the cup in one breath.

Then he let out a long, sighing sigh.

Wang Chen looked puzzled: “Senior, although this spirit wine is good, you can afford it, right?”

Habits originating from his previous life, genes engraved in his bones, made Wang Dust very fond of stocking up on supplies in his Sumeru Ring.

Spirit rice, spirit wine, demonic beast meat, always have to store a large number of, that go out and feel very bottomless.

Facts proved that his practice of saving for a rainy day was correct.

Although Wang Dust is quite wealthy, but also will not pay too much on spiritual food and wine, please the old jailer drink this secret brew spirit flower wine is certainly worth a lot of money, ordinary cultivators bite the bullet is also affordable.

It felt like the other party was exaggerating a bit.

“Do you know how many years I’ve been here?”

The old jailer squinted at Wang Dust and revealed the answer himself, “Forty-eight years!”

Not waiting for Wang Dust to respond, he muttered, “Forty-eight years, I haven’t left the Demon Cave even for a single step, and I’ve sent away many demons and devils as well as my fellow officers, and I haven’t even sent myself away yet.”

Wang Dust fell silent.

He didn’t expect this old jailer to have worked in the Demon Cave for such a long time!

I’m afraid it’s not just a matter of luck.

“Then do you know why I’ve survived until now?”

The old jailer twisted his head to look at Wang Chuan, his cloudy eyes flickering with a shimmering light, “I used all of my paychecks to purchase the top-grade Penetrating Vein Exorcism Pill!”

The Penetrating Vessel Exorcism Elixir was a special elixir used to resist the Yin Fury Qi, originally, when Wang Chuan was in the Yongle dungeon, he was able to receive three bottles every month.

He had never used it himself.

However, in the eyes of the old jailer, the Penetrating Vessel Exorcism Elixir was more important than any spiritual food or ingredients!

If he wanted to live, he had to take more.

If one didn’t work then two, and if two weren’t enough then one more.

The old jailer relied on the elixir and survived for nearly fifty years!

Of course, the Pill of Passing Veins and Dispelling Evil was certainly not the entire reason he had survived until now, after all, none of the prisoners held in the Demon Cave were easy to deal with, and the slightest carelessness could lead to being pulled into the abyss.

It was just that in this way, he didn’t have any more spirit stones to spend in the city.

For other Demon Cave jailers, the January break was comparable to the annual festival, and one had to spend some spirit stones to go out in order to call it a success, otherwise the mood of the year would be affected.

Some of the jailers have exhausted their spirit stones in the Soul Selling Cave, and are drunk today, and some of the jailers will take the paychecks they receive to their families so that even if they die and are buried in the ditch, at least their relics won’t be cheap to others.

They all hold the idea that they will die.

However, the old jailer was different, he had his own clear purpose, and was willing to stick to it.

That was to live.

“Little Wang, you have to live well.”

The old jailer finally said meaningfully, “You are still very young, this path is far and long, and if you occasionally encounter a little setback, you will pass through it safely.”

Wang Chen nodded silently.

For the next two days, he continued to follow the old jailer up and down, back and forth in the Demon Cave.

The route he took was different every day.

As time passed, the actual map in the Demon Cave was gradually pieced together in Wang Chen’s sea of consciousness.

The old jailer led Wang Dust to step through every spell node in the grotto, inspecting every cell, and told Wang Dust all the basic information about the demons and devils imprisoned in these jails.

It was then time to retire on merit.

Wang Dust was a bit reluctant to give up, “Many thanks senior!”

“It should be.”

The old jailer waved his hand and said, “It’s also my luck to have run into you, I hope to meet again next time.”

“Huh?”

Wang Chen suddenly stared, probing his hand and grabbing the old jailer’s arm as he flew backward.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, Wang Chuan’s reaction was purely instinctive, so he did not perceive that the corner of the old jailer’s eye twitched the moment he struck.

The eyes suddenly became hideous!

However, this scenario lasted less than a breath of time, and behind the old jailer’s original standing position, a seven-foot-square hole suddenly appeared on the rock wall only two or three steps away.

This hollow appeared without any warning, and the hole was so dark that even the external sunlight was absorbed!

“This is a wormhole.”

The old jailer who reacted also changed his face, “Let’s get out of here!”

In the lower three levels of the Yongle Dungeon as well as the Demon Cave, similar black holes would appear every so often.

Some people said that this was a wormhole dug by the earth-digging worms, and although it was later proved to be false, the name “wormhole” was still retained and has been used to this day.

The old jailer stood not far from the black hole, his face was very grave!

Wormholes were rare, but he had seen several of them before.

Every time he encountered one, nothing good happened!

There was a theory that wormholes were created by void worms, and after entering, they could be transported to another world.

Void worms existed in the void, and would occasionally “jump down” to the Immortal World.

This creates wormholes.

Under normal circumstances, the wormholes would disappear as the Void Worms left, so as long as one paid attention, there wasn’t much danger.

“I have to go.”

The old jailer said with palpitations, “Little Wang, you’ll have to walk the rest of the way on your own, in the future, when you go out and become rich, don’t forget that there’s still a big brother here.”

Wang Dust smiled, “Don’t worry!”

The old jailer left, but Wang Dust didn’t leave immediately.

His eyes looked toward the wormhole not far away.

In the next moment, Wang Dust curled his fingers and flicked out a spirit stone, which swept towards the center of the wormhole like lightning.

The spirit stone made a faint trail of light in the air and was instantly swallowed by the darkness of the wormhole.

It did not stir up the slightest ripple.

To be honest, Wang Chen was very curious about this so-called wormhole and wanted to explore it carefully.

To run inside and see if it led to another world.

However, these crazy thoughts were hard pressed back by Wang Chen’s strong self-control.

He took one last look at the wormhole, and his figure instantly disappeared in place.

Wang Chen thought that encountering the wormhole was just a coincidence.

As a result, only two days later, he found another wormhole of about the same size.

This wormhole appeared on a fork in the road, and there weren’t any cultivators around, allowing Wang Dust to scrutinize it at a close distance to find out what was wrong with it.

As a result, he studied it for half a day and didn’t come up with a clue.

It felt like this thing was like a bug in the Haotian Realm, under normal circumstances it wouldn’t be seen, but in a special place like the Demon Cave, it would appear in a dignified manner.

Due to time constraints, Wang Dust didn’t look any further.

In the next few days, he once again discovered new wormholes.

It was just that it had already been seen.

And Wang Dust heard from the gossip of the other jailers that he wasn’t the only one who had discovered wormholes.

The same wormholes were scattered in different locations in the Demon Cave.
