Heroes' Prison

Chapter 384 - 376: The Left Hand in Thunder Pool

This was a piece of legendary equipment, called "Thunder King’s Electric Shield".

From its name, it was top-level legendary equipment.

Leizes must have been a hero, and Thunder King was the name bestowed upon him. Using a bestowed name as the name of legendary equipment made it superior to ordinary legendary equipment. In terms of quality alone, this equipment was one notch better than Huang Yi’s "Ghost Axe" and "Black Dragon’s Hide", and on par with "Harbinger of Doomsday’s Footprints". Even Huang Yi couldn’t produce better equipment than this. Worldwide, this was among the top-tier equipment!

"Supreme Overlord Flame, Ghost Cloud’s Words, both of you need shields. Discuss among yourselves and decide who gets this shield," Huang Yi said, turning his gaze towards Supreme Overlord Flame and Ghost Cloud’s Words, who stood at the back of the crowd.

This top-level legendary equipment was certainly to be allocated firstly to higher-ups. Supreme Overlord Flame was the Head of the Knight Hall, and Ghost Cloud’s Words was the Stranger Hall Master. Apart from Huang Yi and Qin Shiyu, they were the ones with the highest authority.

"Give it to Ghost Cloud’s Words!" Supreme Overlord Flame said, waving the strange shield in his hand that was bursting with flames, "This Flame Shield is an innate piece of professional equipment that can grow with my level. Eventually, it will upgrade into my ultimate professional equipment, making it more suitable for me than any other equipment. Moreover, Ghost Cloud’s Words is originally a Thunder Attribute professional, and this thunder shield is an excellent match for his professional traits."

"Alright! Ghost Cloud’s Words, you’ve obtained this world-class piece of equipment," In the midst of everyone’s envious gazes, Huang Yi walked over to Ghost Cloud’s Words with the shield and placed it in his hands.

"Thank you, Big Brother!" Ghost Cloud’s Words joyfully took the shield and immediately chose to equip it.

Instantly, the palm-sized shield rapidly grew larger, firmly positioned in front of him. The electric currents on the surface of the shield seemed thicker, and with the "crackling" sounds of thunder, it appeared quite extraordinary.

At this moment, there was a visible change in Ghost Cloud’s Words’ demeanor. Holding an electric baton in one hand and the Thunder Shield in the other, his body was crackling with electric light as though he was the Thunder God incarnate.

Huang Yi looked at Ghost Cloud’s Words, smiling with satisfaction. Now, the number of masters in the Hero Guild was growing, especially the Rare Class Holders from Rose Prison. They were progressing very fast, each becoming a person who could stand on their own.

"Let’s continue moving forward, there are still legendary items ahead," Huang Yi shifted his gaze to the dark depths of the treasure, addressing the whole group.

The group proceeded onwards, each person carrying a torch. Accompanied by the flickering flames, they walked into the dark depths, into this ancient treasure that had a history of ten thousand years.

Just a gatekeeper had already dropped a top-level legendary piece of equipment. What earth-shattering treasures could be deeper inside? Everyone was filled with anticipation.

Gradually, as they walked forward, a dense array of statues emerged, standing tall in the dark stone chamber hall, like the Terracotta Army of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum.

"These Terracotta soldiers are only level 75, they are here to give experience points. Everyone, attack," Overlord ordered after assessing the situation.

The group engaged in battle again, and without much effort, they killed these Terracotta soldiers. They were just minor monsters, after all, providing a hefty amount of experience points, and several people leveled up.

After passing through the area with the Terracotta Army, two paths appeared ahead, left and right, with no indication of where they led.

But Huang Yi’s gaze was expectantly fixed on the left path. He could clearly sense that deep in the darkness, there lay a piece of legendary equipment.

And that piece of legendary equipment was a chainmail, which had a great chance of fitting his professional traits. It seemed like his fourth piece of legendary equipment was within reach.

"Boom!" At that moment, a muffled sound of thunder came faintly from the two tunnels, as though the end of the pathways led to a world of thunder above the clouds, instilling fear.

"Let’s do this, two scouts will go into the left and right pathways to explore, and the main force will wait here for news," Overlord stroked his chin and issued a cautious command.

"No need, just go left!" Just then, Huang Yi shook his head and suddenly spoke up, "I didn’t sense the presence of any treasure in that right tunnel. It might be a dead end, possibly even with traps and mechanisms. But in this left tunnel, go forward three hundred meters, there is a presence of a piece of legendary equipment."

"Huh?" Everyone was slightly startled, and they quickly became excited, not expecting to come across the second piece of legendary equipment so soon! This treasure hunt was turning out to be beyond anyone’s expectations.

Then, a few scouts began to proceed into the left path, disappearing into the dark depths.

After a while, news of their safe passage echoed through the corridor, signaling that it was okay for everyone to enter. Then, the five hundred people began to walk into the tunnel one after another.

"Clack, clack, clack!" The dense footsteps reverberated through the dark corridor, where the flickering torches cast the moving shadows of people on the walls adorned with murals, in a play of light and darkness.

Those walls were painted with ancient scenes, whose past they belonged to was unknown.

As Huang Yi walked, he turned his head to look at the murals, which were intricately detailed, roughly narrating a story—

One day, a fisherman who had lived by the sea for generations went out to sea and came across a mysterious woman floating on the ocean. She was seriously injured, and the man took her home to recuperate. Over time, they developed feelings for each other. With the arrival of the mysterious woman, the sea started to frequently witness bizarre thunderstorms with dark clouds hanging low, lightning flashing, and thunder roaring. The terrifying power of the thunder wreaked havoc on the ocean. Every time a thunderstorm approached, the man grew very afraid, but the woman was always there to comfort him.

Latter, on a thunderous gloomy day, the woman suddenly plunged into the depths of the sea and took out a treasure from the seabed, but she was quickly discovered by a passerby. The stranger killed her and snatched the treasure. The man witnessed this tragic scene from the shore, heartbroken, he resolved to seek revenge. From then on, he was no longer afraid of the thunder and lightning in the sky. Whenever a storm came, he would head out to sea to the center of the storm, drawing the lightning into his body and gradually cultivating a powerful thunder divine power. Years later, he finally started his revenge, waging war all the way to the enemy’s lair, where he killed his foe but ultimately died from serious injuries in his hometown.

"Boom!" As Huang Yi finished looking at the murals, a tremendous thunderous roar suddenly filled his ears, and a white and blue light began to flicker before him, snapping him back to the present.

Huang Yi turned his head to look, and at that moment, everyone had already arrived at the end of the tunnel, but not a single person dared to step forward, all staring blankly inside.

The space in front was a huge stone chamber, as large as a football field, with ten enormous pillars inserted around it. Each pillar streamed with electric currents, continuously releasing bolts of lightning as thick as arms. The snaking lightning crackled through the air, with loud, booming sounds, turning the entire stone chamber a ghastly white, creating a sea of electricity. Anyone who dared enter would be turned to ashes by the lightning.

On the ground of the stone chamber, there was a circular magic circle drawn, shaped like a lightning bolt, incessantly absorbing the lightning emitted from the ten pillars. The electricity flowed across the ground like streams of thunder water, forming a thunder pool, all converging into the center of the magic circle—there a mysterious arm lay.

The arm, a left one, floated above the magic circle, wholly composed of lightning, with blue electrical sparks crackling intermittently. It seemed to be the center of the electric sea, unceasingly drawing in all the surrounding electricity and containing a power that made one’s heart palpitate. If this power were released, it would be cataclysmic.

Overall, the stone chamber appeared more like a ritual formation, constantly generating electricity and unendingly channeling it into the lone arm in the center.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on that central arm—the focal point of the entire stone chamber!

"What on earth is that arm?"

"The aura is so intense, it seems to contain the power to destroy heaven and earth!"

"We can’t possibly enter this place, right? We would be struck dead by lightning the moment we step in!"

Suddenly, the crowd started buzzing with discussion, unsure of what the thing in front of them was, and considering the arm was placed within such a powerful electric formation, retrieving it would be a significant challenge.

"That is a legendary gauntlet," Huang Yi said somberly at that moment. With his treasure-sniffing ability, he could distinctly perceive that the arm before them was a piece of legendary equipment.

Only, this equipment made its appearance in a manner far more special than any he had seen before, employing such an extensive setup. And its appearance was extraordinary too, resembling an arm formed of lightning, its entirety flowing with blue currents.

"This is a piece of equipment?" The crowd suddenly gasped, incredulously staring at the arm, "If it’s a gauntlet, why is there only a left hand, and no right? How can we possibly get it? Even if all five hundred of us went in, we’d be struck dead by electricity in an instant!"

At that moment, Huang Yi too was pondering how to get his hands on that equipment. He possessed a variety of abilities, but in the current situation, he felt completely helpless.

"Let me do it!" Suddenly, a voice emerged from the crowd.

Huang Yi immediately turned his head to see who had spoken, and it was none other than the head of Exotic Warriors’ Hall, Ghost Cloud’s Words. He was the only professional with thunder attributes among them, his left hand holding an electric baton, and in his right, the electric shield he had just acquired. Electricity filled his entire being, and if anyone had to be picked as being unafraid of electricity, he would be the first choice.

Ghost Cloud’s Words looked at Huang Yi and said, "Brother, my class is Lightning Ghost. The thunder element not only will not hurt me but will also enhance my strength. I’ll go in and see if I can get that equipment."(To be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to visit Starting Point (qidian.com) to cast your Recommendation Ticket and Monthly Ticket.
