Chapter 317 Escape

At this moment in the dungeon, in this dark place, there is no sunlight. All the light comes from the torches on the wall. The people inside can't tell the difference between day and night.

Zhou Chen estimated that the time was about right, and then asked the people in the same cell, "Hey, brothers, do you want to go out if you have the chance?"
"You're talking nonsense. Who wouldn't want to go out if given the chance?"

"Don't come and tease us, you guy. I'm so hungry. The people from the Zhentian Gang are really something. A bowl of porridge a day is not enough."

There were more than a dozen people in the cell, and no one believed what he said. They all thought he was joking. However, there was one exception, and that person was the old man sitting in the corner.

"Little brother, can you really take us out?"
Zhou Chen came over and sat next to him against the wall, "Old man, do you believe me?"
"Old Liu, don't believe him. If he had that ability, he wouldn't be locked up with us. He wouldn't have to suffer like this."

"That's right. Even if you are a warrior, what's the use? The Zhentian Gang is a big gang with two hundred members. I heard that the boss has an eighth-grade cultivation level. There is basically no hope for you to escape from here."

"Yes, yes, I have also heard that the boss Yu Lei is unfathomable in strength. He has been dominating Yuxi City for ten years and has never met an opponent. And I heard that there is the shadow of the Mad Blade Sect behind him. What is the Mad Blade Sect? Even if he is an ordinary inner sect disciple, the county magistrate has to be polite and treat him as a guest of honor."

This was a bit unexpected. Zhou Chen did not expect that such a small gang of thugs would have a backer. But it made sense. If not, they would have been dealt with by the county magistrate long ago.

Most of the prisoners here have no idea that the Zhentian Gang actually has such a secret. They originally had a glimmer of hope of getting out, but now it has been completely shattered.

However, Old Man Liu ignored their words and continued to ask, "Brother, do you really have a way to take us out?"
Turning around and seeing his eager eyes, Zhou Chen calmly said, "Of course."

Upon hearing this, the cellmate standing by immediately laughed at him, "Huh, you are so arrogant."

"Shut up," Old Man Liu said angrily.

Several young and strong inmates were stunned by Old Man Liu's words and immediately shut their mouths. Only one person stepped forward and spoke angrily with disdain on his face.

"How can you talk to us, old man? Believe it or not, I will kill you right now?" He stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Old Man Liu ignored him, came to Zhou Chen's ear and whispered with a laugh, "If you really have a way to get out, then I suggest you kill this guy first."

After hearing this, Zhou Chen turned his head and looked at Old Man Liu with a surprised look. Old Man Liu came to his ear again and explained in a low voice, "Old man, I have been here for several years. The people in this dungeon have been replaced one after another, but one thing is that no matter how the people change, this guy will appear in the crowd."

After hearing his words, Zhou Chen instantly understood what he meant, and immediately activated his skills to check. The prisoners in the cell had no cultivation and their strength was at the level of ordinary people, except for this guy. Although he was not at the ninth level, his strength was infinitely close to the ninth level.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen showed a hint of sneer on his face. The sturdy man who spoke also felt a hint of chill at this time, and his eyes involuntarily looked at Zhou Chen.

For some reason, Zhou Chen's eyes made him feel a threat of death, "You, why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhou Chen stood up and walked towards him slowly. Seeing Zhou Chen walking towards him, he suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart. He took a step back for every step Zhou Chen took. Soon he retreated to the end of the cell. He had nowhere to retreat. However, Zhou Chen's steps did not stop at all. Instead, he walked faster and faster. "Don't come over here."

Zhou Chen sneered and walked up to him without stopping. Under the gaze of everyone, Zhou Chen stretched out his right hand and grabbed his neck. The prisoners in other cells in the dungeon also heard the noise here and looked over here.

Zhou Chen ignored other people's gazes and used his right hand to twist the guy's neck. He then threw him to the ground. When he turned around again, the inmates looked at him with fear in their eyes.

Zhou Chen ignored them and walked towards Old Man Liu. When he passed by other people, those guys avoided him as if they saw the god of plague, keeping a distance that they thought was relatively safe.

Zhou Chen came to Old Man Liu and sat down against the wall again. At this time, the inmates chose to stay away from the two of them, fearing that Zhou Chen would kill them if he got too excited.

At this time Old Man Liu asked again, "I wonder if you have any way to rescue us? It's not that I'm anxious, but the current situation doesn't allow it."

"What do you mean?"
"According to my observation, there is a spy from the Zhentian Gang in every cell here. You made such a big noise just now, and the other spies have already known your actions. We don't have much time left."

By the time the guards come in to check the room tomorrow morning, the news will have leaked out.

Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "You can rest assured about this. Otherwise, I can take you away tomorrow or tonight."

In the same cell, although those guys were afraid of Zhou Chen's methods, they couldn't help but be moved when they heard Zhou Chen say that he would take them away.

Old man Liu asked, "I wonder how you plan to rescue us, young man?"
"It's easy. Just walk out." After saying that, he ignored the surprised old man Liu and walked straight towards the cell door.

The iron door of the cell was locked with an extremely thick iron chain. Zhou Chen grabbed the chain with both hands without saying a word.

At this time, the strong men next to them started to discuss again, but this time their voices were quieter, "Is he going to break the chain with his bare hands?"
"I'm kidding, does he think this chain is made of tofu?"
However, just a few seconds later, they saw something they would never forget: the iron chain, which was twice as thick as an adult's thumb, was actually broken by Zhou Chen's bare hands.

Zhou Chen smiled, opened the door, and looked at Old Man Liu behind him who also had a shocked look on his face. "Let's go, old sir," he said, and walked out directly.

Just now when Zhou Chen held the chain with both hands, the prisoners in the nearby cells all looked at him. Although they knew that Zhou Chen could not possibly break it, they still had a hint of expectation in their hearts. Now that they saw that Zhou Chen actually broke it, they were all very excited and applauded.

At the same time, they also begged Zhou Chen to rescue them. As for the prisoners who were in the same cell with Zhou Chen, they naturally followed Zhou Chen out as soon as he left.

After Zhou Chen came out, he didn't waste any time and directly reached out to help the prisoners in other cells open the chains on the doors.

Seeing this, everyone burst into tears of gratitude towards Zhou Chen and were about to kneel down, but Zhou Chen quickly spoke out to stop them. As for the few individuals in the crowd, Zhou Chen did not plan to take action immediately, but walked directly towards the dungeon door.
