Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)

Chapter 2749



The mouth of the spring wasn't big, but it wasn't shallow either. Fade dived nearly ten meters before he could see the bottom.

There was a hard rock at the bottom. Streams of spring water were flowing out of the deepest point.

"This is the real mouth of the spring! The spirit liquid in the spiritual spring came from this place." He thought to himself, "Then what's underneath the mouth of this spring? Could there be a liquid spring?"

With uncertainty in his heart, he reached out his right hand and groped for something at the mouth of the spring.

As he groped around, he was suddenly shocked.

He had discovered that the spring wasn't naturally formed but rather, it was man-made.

"Could it be that the spiritual spring was manmade?" He was astonished.

He tugged at it with his hand. With a click, the piece of metal burst out with a ray of light. Then, with a snap, it was pulled open by him, revealing a circular passage about half a meter in diameter.

Then, several bubbles formed in the passage, with a stench of blood that was familiar to him.

"This..." His curiosity grew as he placed the metal piece back.

Suddenly, there was a burst of light on the metal piece. There was also a complicated inscription on the surrounding stone wall, flashing.

Then, the bubbles carrying the stench disappeared, and the spring returned to its original state.

"This metal piece and stone wall must have been set to filter the spiritual spring."

"But what's underneath the spring? Where did the spirit liquid come from? And why is there a stench of blood in the bubbles?"

With uncertainty in his heart, Fade made up his mind. He opened the metal piece again, held his breath, and went straight into the narrow passage. The passage was narrow and he didn't move quickly.

He followed the passage. After a long time, he felt that he had changed directions and was moving upward.

Finally, a circular red exit appeared in front of him.

He sped up and broke out from the exit.

Splash!

With the sound of breaking through the water surface, he broke out and gasped for air.

However, he frowned as soon as the air entered his nose.

The air here was moist, rotten, stinky, and bloody. He almost vomited when the smell rushed into his mouth and nose. Fortunately, he used the wood essence in the elixir core to stimulate a fresh scent, which suppressed these foul odors.

Getting out of the water, Fade finally had the time to examine his surroundings.

The place where he broke out into was a stone room that was only a few square meters in size. There was a round pool in the middle of the stone room, and the water in the pool was slightly red, as if it contained blood.

Looking out of the pool, he found that there were hundreds of tiny pipes around the pool.

A dark red liquid slowly flowed out of the pipes and into the pool.

He frowned as he approached the pipes and sniffed them.

"This is blood!"

His expression darkened and he looked at the pipes.

He saw that the pipes extended beyond the room into the darkness.

He slowed down, held his breath, and quietly walked out of the stone room.

Not far away, he was astonished when he saw the scene in front of him.

There were narrow and dirty cells outside the stone room.

Based on an estimate, there were more than a hundred of these cells.

Half of these cells had a prisoner in it.

The pipes in the pool were attached to these prisoners.

Faintly, one could see the blood in the prisoner's body flowed into the pool along the pipes.

Such a scene made Fade's heart sink.

"Could these prisoners be the source of the spirit liquid in Skytop Spring?"

"The spiritual energy is extracted from their blood so that the experts of the Three Palaces can practice."

Thinking of this, he felt uncomfortable and his eyes sank.

"From the looks of it, this is very likely the dungeon beneath the Three Palaces. Then, it is very likely that arrow, whom Master asked me to

to send a message to, is here."

Suddenly, he shivered and began to search carefully.

However, since he only knew the other party's name and had no other information, the search was rather tedious. He was left with no choice but to ask the prisoners one by one.

Moreover, he was worried that the prisoners in the cells would make some movements or call for guards. He had to be very careful and had to be alert while asking, in case of any accidents.

He asked nearly forty people, but his efforts were futile.

Most of the prisoners were on their last breaths. They were in a daze and couldn't respond to him at all.

The rest of the prisoners who were still awake, almost all had dull and numb eyes. In the face of Fade's question, they only stared at him blankly. After these inquiries, he was a little apprehensive.

"If Yarrow is in such a state, then I won't be able to find him at all!"

Just when he was puzzled, a faint voice came to his ears. "Young man, are you looking for

Yarrow?"

Hearing the voice, Fade was shocked. He immediately turned his head, tensed up, and got ready to fight.

However, the soft voice seemed to be relaxed. "Don't worry, young man. I mean no harm."

Hearing the voice again, Fade followed his ears and headed towards the source of the voice. Soon, he found a cell at the end.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Compared to the narrow and dirty cells, this cell was twice as big and very clean.

There were chairs, beds, various daily necessities, and even a table full of food.

If not for the sturdy metal bars on the outside, no one would be able to tell that this was a cell.

In this luxurious cell, an elder in his sixties sat at the table, eating the food and drinking the wine in his hand, looking like he was having a good time.

"Sir, were you talking just now?" Fade asked carefully.

The elder took another sip of wine and smiled at him, asking, "Besides me, is there anyone else talking to you?"

"This.. Sir, you..." Fade was thinking about what to say.

After all, this was the dungeon of the Three Palaces. Thus, he had to be careful.
