Time flies when cultivating, and four hours passed in the blink of an eye.
As the sun withdrew its last rays, Gu Qingfeng suddenly opened his eyes in the training room.
His eyes were exceptionally bright, with flashes of inner light, as dazzling as stars.
"Iron Cloth Shirt! Mastered!" Gu Qingfeng slowly exhaled, a hint of joy flashing across his face.
In the next moment, he stood up abruptly, his arms suddenly opening and closing, stretching his entire body.
Then, his bones throughout his body made a crackling sound like popping beans.
At the same time, his skin flowed with streaks of blue-gold metallic luster, and his muscles seemed to be forged from steel.
With this, Gu Qingfeng's defense had at least doubled!
With his bronze skin and iron bones, he was like an uncarved natural jade, and the process of cultivating the Iron Cloth Shirt was like jade carving, a process of washing away impurities!
Now, the carving was complete, dazzling and brilliant!
"The mastered Iron Cloth Shirt can perfectly conceal my bronze skin and iron bones talent, so it won't be too conspicuous.
Alright, cultivation is complete, and it's time for the night shift. Demon Suppression Prison, here I come!"
"I wonder what surprises the demons in the Demon Suppression Prison will bring me today?"
Gu Qingfeng left the training room full of joy and anticipation, rushing towards the Demon Suppression Prison without wanting to waste a second.
Soon, he arrived at the eerie and terrifying Demon Suppression Prison.
Gu Qingfeng passed through layers of heavily armed guards and numerous magical barriers, finally entering the interior of the Demon Suppression Prison.
"Zhang Zheng, I'm here to take over the shift."
Following Gu Qingfeng's call, the apprentice Demon Eliminator named Zhang Zheng hurriedly emerged from inside the Demon Suppression Prison, looking as if he didn't dare to stay a second longer.
Zhang Zheng glanced at the sky and asked puzzledly, "Why are you here so early today? Usually, you're always half an hour late."
"Haven't I turned over a new leaf recently and decided to work hard? How about this, to make up for the extra shifts you've covered for me these days, I'll come an hour early every day from now on to take over. How's that?"
"Really?" Zhang Zheng looked at Gu Qingfeng suspiciously, not believing it in his heart.
The Demon Suppression Prison was no place for the living. Facing the ravings of various demons aside, one could easily be invaded by demonic or yin energy if not careful. At best, it would result in severe illness; at worst, complete loss of cultivation, becoming useless. Only a fool would willingly stay an extra hour each day.
"Absolutely true."
Receiving Gu Qingfeng's affirmative answer, Zhang Zheng immediately became happy.
"Good brother, you're a real friend. I'll treat you to drinks someday. I'll be off then."
"Go on."
Gu Qingfeng watched Zhang Zheng walk away until his figure disappeared from sight. Only then did he turn and enter the prison. Looking at the dark, empty prison, he smiled silently.
The darkness swallowed Gu Qingfeng's face, making his smile appear eerily strange.
"Whose card should I flip today? Hehe..." Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Oh right, I should go see my cute little Corpse Demon first. I wonder if she's learned the dance yet."
"Little Corpse Demon, here I come..." Gu Qingfeng drawled as he opened the Corpse Demon's cell.
Then.
Bang!
He closed the cell door.
"Damn human! What are you doing here again?!" The blue-faced, fanged Corpse Demon shouted angrily, pressed against the corner of the wall.
"Little Corpse Demon, you're not being good. How could you forget what to call me after just one day? Do you want me to punish you?" Gu Qingfeng said with a wicked smile.
Hearing the word "punish," the Corpse Demon seemed to recall something terrifying and reluctantly called out, "Master."
"Ah, that's a good girl. That's right. Come on, today your master wants to see a loli idol dance. Quickly transform and let master see how you've been practicing."
The Corpse Demon reluctantly transformed into the appearance of a cute little loli, her delicate little face full of grievance and unwillingness, but she still began to dance.
"Master told you to wear white stockings, hurry up and put them on. That's the soul of it."
The little loli could only comply.
Gu Qingfeng's eyes lit up at the sight.
"Good, good, that's the feeling. Come on, keep the music going and keep dancing."
......
Half an hour later, Gu Qingfeng left the Corpse Demon's cell with a face full of lingering desire, turning to walk towards the next cell.
The cells in the Demon Suppression Prison were spaced far apart, a deliberate setup to prevent the demons from communicating and causing trouble.
Gu Qingfeng walked for a while before reaching the next cell. This was a cell completely locked by an iron door, with a small window at the top of the door, specifically used to observe the condition of the demon inside.
However, most of the time, the small window was closed to prevent the demons from using illusion techniques.
The Corpse Demon's cell was the same, but yesterday Gu Qingfeng couldn't resist the temptation and was attracted by various inappropriate sounds coming from inside. He opened it to take a look, and then fell for the trick.
Knock knock knock!
Instead of directly opening the small window to look, Gu Qingfeng first politely knocked on the door.
"Excuse me, is there a demon in there?"
Not every cell in the Demon Suppression Prison housed a demon; there were also many empty rooms, which is why Gu Qingfeng knocked.
After waiting for a while, there was no response from inside the cell.
"No demon? Or is it sleeping?" Gu Qingfeng muttered, then pressed his face close to the small window on the iron door.
Click!
Gu Qingfeng opened the small window!
Suddenly!
An eyeball as large as an adult's fist, covered with red blood vessels like a spider web, appeared at the small window.
Since Gu Qingfeng was close to the small window, they were now almost eye to eye!
Holy crap!
Gu Qingfeng was startled by the suddenly appearing large eyeball and quickly stepped back.
"Son of a... you..."
Gu Qingfeng started cursing, but before he could finish, the strange, bloodshot eyeball suddenly emitted a peculiar wave.
That invisible, strange wave seemed to conduct like an electric wave, transmitting to Gu Qingfeng's eyes.
The next moment, Gu Qingfeng's voice abruptly stopped. His eyes, which were full of shock and anger just now, instantly became blank, as if he had become stupid.
A hint of human-like smugness flashed in the bloodshot large eyeball.
Then, a hoarse voice came from the large eyeball.
"My lowly servant, obey my command and open the cell door."
After receiving the order, Gu Qingfeng, like a puppet on strings, stiffly took the key from his waist and walked step by step towards the cell door.
Just then.
Ding!
You have been attacked by the Eye Demon.
Soul Power +1
With the system prompt sound, Gu Qingfeng felt a chill in his mind, and then regained clarity.
"This is... an eye technique attack?" Gu Qingfeng was somewhat terrified.
The feeling just now made him very apprehensive. His consciousness seemed to be stripped away, completely losing control of his body, at the mercy of others.
Seeing that Gu Qingfeng had already walked to the cell door but was not moving, the Eye Demon in the cell coldly glared.
At this moment, it had not yet realized that Gu Qingfeng had already broken free from its control.
