Chapter 276: The Strange Scorpion Has No Medicine
After hearing the term "cross-gate money", Zhou You was surprised and disgusted. Are these bastards qualified to be city gate guards?

"Of course not. He is called a city gate guard, but he is actually a prison guard dog."

Zhang Huaimin then warned him, "Don't believe anything he says, and don't get involved in Zhen Xiong Yu in your life."

Zhou You didn't say anything after hearing this, but he had already started thinking in his heart.

"Trial Project (three stars): Enter the town's prison and ask Du Wuyao for advice on poison weapons from a martial artist."

This task is optional and the difficulty is moderate. After all, it is easy to get into the Zhenhen Prison but difficult to get out!
That is for other people. Zhou You is currently in the identity of Lu Zhigang, and the projection on the panel gives him a lot of room for maneuver.

In the second half of the night, Zhang Huaimin hugged four or five girls and went back to the room to rest, and also made arrangements for Zhou You before leaving.

Zhou You declined the girl's enthusiastic service and went to the corridor in the garden to get some fresh air.

The voices gradually died down, the red light of the lanterns gradually became sparse, and the night and starlight replaced the lights.

Suddenly, a subtle voice sounded, "Brother Lu."

The sound came from behind the rockery nearby.

It turned out to be Guo Laoguan, who had not left and was hiding behind the rockery waiting for him to come out.

"Guo Laoguan, do you have something to ask me?"

Zhou You looked surprised. This guy was so persistent that he insisted on making money from him.

Guo Laoguan called him to the shadows and whispered, "You and I hit it off right away. I have a great opportunity for you."

"I will be on duty tomorrow, and I can take you into the Zhen Xiong Prison to visit the scorpion monster Du Wuyao. He is a martial artist, and has the secret of using poisonous weapons to break through the martial artist's barrier. This is a rare opportunity for you."

"Brother Lu, just nod your head and I'll go back and arrange it for you."

Zhou You had just heard about the door-to-door fee, so how could he be easily fooled? He asked, "How much does it cost?"

"We are all good brothers. I don't want any money. Just think of me when you have good things in the future."

A glimmer of humanity called loyalty emerged on Guo Laoguan's gloomy face, which made Zhou You marvel at his excellent acting skills.

As the saying goes, you can’t get a tiger cub without risking it!
The other party invited me so sincerely that he even hid behind the rockery for a long time. It was obvious that he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

"Then I'll trouble Officer Guo."

The time when the first half of the night and the second half of the night alternate is also the time when the guards of Zhenxiong Prison change shifts.

Guo Laoguan brought Zhou You to the location of the Zhenxing Prison, in the southeast corner of the city.

There is a great reason why the prison for suppressing evil was set up here. It gathers the evil energy from the southeast and suppresses the most vicious monsters and villains.

This place is always covered with dark clouds and there is no sunlight. Even in the hot summer, there is an inexplicable chill.

An ordinary person would not be able to stay there for more than an hour before his hands and feet would become numb from the cold, and he would certainly fall seriously ill when he returns.

The entrance to the prison is on the ground, but the main body is dug deep into the ground, leading directly to the bottomless abyss.

"Guo Tou'er, he brought people here again."

The two jailers guarding the gate pushed open the two fist-thick iron doors without saying a word and let Guo Laoguan and Zhou You in.

They looked relaxed, without any sign of nervousness or awkwardness, and it was obvious that this was not the first time they had done something like this.

Zhou You noticed that the way the other person looked at him was like a butcher looking at a fat sheep, wondering where to start the cut!
He stared at the dark entrance, which was like the mouth of an ancient beast hidden underground.

As soon as you take a step inside, you fall into the trap set by the other party.

The area that Guo Laoguan is in charge of is the outermost area of ​​Zhenxiong Prison, close to the entrance area.

The prisoners imprisoned here all have relatively minor crimes, such as the strange scorpion Du Wuyao, whose crime is collusion with a demon.

Du Wuyao's special skill, the Phantom Needle Fist, has the word "charm" in its name. According to legend, in order to enhance the power of his martial arts, he colluded with ghosts, captured living people and fed them to them in exchange for the secrets of martial arts that were as powerful as those of ghosts.

He was still a human warrior and was not contaminated by the evil spirit of the monster, so he was able to survive.

Wandering in the dark tunnel, he could feel the moisture dripping down from his head from time to time, which was icy cold when it touched his skin. He noticed that the cells were arranged in a typical "丰" shape, with a main road in the middle and symmetrically arranged cells on both sides, each holding a prisoner.

The main road is winding, and if you look down from above, the structure of the prison resembles the curved body of a centipede.

"Hey, there's a newcomer here, let me see his face."

There was a prisoner in the cell who was not willing to be lonely. When he saw Zhou You, he stared at him with lustful eyes and teased him.

Zhou You coughed up a mouthful of phlegm and spat it on the other person's face.

White smoke was sizzling, and the prisoner covered his melting face and wailed in pain. The sound was simply not something a human could make.

After a while, the corpse fell limply to the ground, and most of it had melted.

The prisoners in other cells were silent when they saw this!

Guo Laoguan glanced back and shook his head indifferently, "Brother Lu, don't waste time, we still need to go further inside."

There were whispers from behind, "They must be coming for the strange scorpion."

"That's right, he's an expert at playing with poison, and he's at the lower end of the Qi and Blood stage. How did he get tricked into coming in?"

"If I can get out, I will cut these evil prison officials and jailers into pieces alive and eat them with sauce."

Walking to the innermost part of this area, Zhou You finally saw the master of poison and martial arts, the martial artist Du Wuyao.

"Du Wuyao, a friend is here to see you."

Guo Laoguan shouted a few words, and in the dim cell, a shadow moved a few times, and a man stood up.

The opponent changed his steps, moving from the shadows to a slightly brighter position, revealing his lineup.

Zhou You took a deep breath when he saw this...

Du Wuyao, who was standing in front of the two men, was a middle-aged man with half of his face covered with tumors.

The tumors on his face were large and small, crowded together, causing his face to be distorted beyond recognition.

An average person can imagine the appearance of an entire horror movie after just one look at it, and will have nightmares for two months straight afterwards, with each night being different.

Is this the price of practicing poisonous weapons?

"For those who practice poisonous martial arts, palm or fist?"

Du Wuyao didn't look at Guo Laoguan, his first glance fell on Zhou You.

Without waiting for Zhou You to answer, he asked him again, "You didn't ask before you came here. It's easy to get into this prison, but can you get out?"

"Ahem, Du Wuyao, please stop talking nonsense. This Brother Lu who is here to visit the prison is not a prisoner, unlike you guys."

Guo Laoguan bowed to Zhou You and said, "Brother Lu, I won't bother you anymore. I'll go take care of other things first."

After he said that, he left as if escaping.

Du Wuyao glanced at his back and spat, "You little villain, you rat!"

His saliva was smoking, and the poison was extremely weak, but it was not enough to match the identity of a martial artist with poisonous martial arts.

"Boy, it's rare to meet someone who practices poison and martial arts with you. Come over and chat with me. Don't look at me anymore. You will have plenty of time here in the future."

Although Du Wuyao looks ferocious, he has a good personality and does not speak in a vicious manner like other prisoners.

"You took the risk to come in here to ask me for the secret to becoming a martial artist?"

Zhou You nodded in agreement. There was nothing to hide.

"But why should I give it to you?"

Du Wuyao crossed his arms and looked at him with a smile.
