Lao Si shook his head," That is a seal in the prison cell, even I do not know what is inside. The convict was already here before I first started my work here."
"You mean to request it to help me accomplish my quest?" Huang Yi asked.
Lao Si nodded, "Yes, with its help, your quest could definitely be finished."
Huang Yi went into deep thoughts. This was a feasible idea, but it seemed too easy. If this was the solution, then there would be no difficulty in this quest and it did not make sense.
Huang Yi guessed and felt that this method was easier said than done, and the process would be tremendously tedious, and there would be a point that he would get stuck at.
While he was thinking, he scanned the side of the cell and suddenly he fixed his gaze on the door hole of a cell.
There was a lock there!
Yes! Lock!
In order to release the convict, he needed to open the cell door, but he did not have the key! This must be where the difficulty of the quest was!
"Lao Si, do you have the keys to the cell?" Huang Yi immediately questioned Lao Si.
As expected, Lao Si shook his head again," I do not have any keys, you have to get it yourself personally."
"Where is the key?" Huang Yi stared at Lao Si. If he was not mistaken, this should be the hard part of the quest.
"It"s at the stone chamber where you resurrected," Lao Si pointed to the path from where they came from.
At the end of that path, there was the stone chamber filled with golden light and it was indeed where he was resurrected.
Huang Yi headed for the room and the others followed him.
At the entrance of the stone chamber, Huang Yi entered but Lao Si and the other 4 wardens stood outside.
"Come in!" Huang Yi waved at them to go in.
Lao Si gave a bitter smile and shook his head," This place is only meant for people send from heaven to enter. We cannot go into the chamber."
"Then you can inform me the location of the key," Huang Yi looked at the huge stone chamber that was as big as a soccer field, and it was too challenging to find a small key in such a place.
"At the north-east direction of the corner of the chamber, there are thousands of keys. Your hand and eye coordination must be fast and grab the no. 11 key. Remember, it"s no. 11!" Lao Si reminded.
Huang Yi nodded and differentiate the direction before heading for the north-east corner.
He was greeted with a scene where there were numerous golden keys on the ground, and each key looked very similar to the other one. The only difference was the number indicated on each key. But the number was too small and Huang Yi needed to get closer to have a clearer view.
Then he nearly slipped and nearly stepped on something. He lifted his leg to check.
On the ground, there were a few green pearls, and next to them was some black powder.
Huang Yi bent down and picked the pearls up. There were 8 of them and they were crystal clear and emitted green rays of light, extremely beautiful and looked like diamonds that were professionally polished!
Huang Yi carefully checked the 8 pearls but there was no system notification about them. They looked like ordinary items. Usually, if they are worthy, after checking, there should be a prompt from the system. Otherwise, they are most likely ordinary items and not valued at a high price.
However, these 8 pearls looked so special and Huang Yi kept them in his storage ring. And for the pile of black powder next to it, he did not pay much attention to it as they did not look valuable.
Huang Yi walked towards the pile of keys.
When he was within 5m of the keys, the ten thousands of keys seemed to be alive and began to scatter and floated in the air. They started to speedily fly freely around like honey bees, and they always leave a path of golden light.
Huang Yi looked up at the flying keys. To grab hold of one key is such a big chamber was no child"s play, and the speed was so fast that his eyes were not able to see it properly. Not to mention catching it! The most difficult part of all these was that he had to find Key no. 11 from all these!!
"Zoom!" A key sped past in the vision of Huang Yi and he was not able to grab it in time.
From young, Huang Yi was trained regimentally from young, and he had more agile movements than normal people. However, in this situation, he was still helpless as it had exceeded the limit of how fast a human could move.
After trying for a long time, Huang Yi failed to get any key, and walked out of the stone chamber.
"How was it? Did you get the no. 11 key, Mr Miao Sha?" Lao Si looked at Huang Yi and asked hurriedly, with a hint of expectation in his tone.
Huang Yi shook his head," I did not catch any of it. The movement of the key is too fast and I need to think of something else."
"Sigh!" Lao Si looked disappointed by his reply, but still encouraging continued," This quest is currently too difficult for your level. But do not give up and keep trying! If you cannot get Key no. 11, you can still get Key no. 250!"
"No. 250? You mean the Nine Headed Snake Shi Lin?" Huang Yi countered and ask," Isn"t it dead?"
"Oh! You have seen No.250?" Lao Si was stunned, and then shook his head," That monster is not dead yet! It only shredded its skin, and was in weak state. Therefore, it looked dead. Its Level is a high as 250, and it could definitely a.s.sist you to complete your quest!"
"Ok!" Huang Yi touched his chine, and asked," However, even if it is Key no. 250, I would still be unable to secure it. Do you have any tools that can support me?"
"Sorry, I do not have such tools! You can only rely on your own strength," Lao Si shook his head again with a helpless expression.
Huang Yi was deep in thoughts and he knew that just depending on effort alone was insufficient. If certain task had exceeded the limit of a human, it was impossible without a tool. For example, humans could not fly, so they required the aid of a tool to accomplish that objective. It was similar to his situation now. He definitely could not get the key no matter how.
"Let me try again!" Huang Yi decided, and went back into the stone chamber.
While he was staring at the air s.p.a.ce filled with dancing flying keys, he suddenly thought of the scale that he took from the Nine Headed Snake. It was as big as a palm and he could use it to swap the key in the air as another method.
As Huang Yi took the scale out, it started to disintegrate into black powder and scattered into the air!
It looked like you could not use any form of a.s.sistance for this quest.
The progress of the quest was stuck at this junction.
Huang Yi gave up trying and started to quietly recalled everything that he saw and heard when he started the quest. He could not afford to miss any single detail.
