Chapter 9

Raos shook his head: "That's a sealed cell. I don't know what's inside. The guy was already in there before I arrived."

"Are you suggesting that it can help me complete my task?" Huang Yi asked.

Raos nodded: "Yes, with its help, you're guaranteed to complete your task."

Huang Yi fell into deep thought. This indeed seemed like a method, but it was too simple. If it were really that easy, the rare class task wouldn't have any difficulty, which didn't make sense.

Huang Yi speculated that this method was probably easy in theory, but the implementation process would likely be very difficult. There would always be a bottleneck.

As he thought, he looked over at the cell. Suddenly, his gaze stopped on the lock of the cell door.

There was a lock!

Right! A lock!

To release the prisoner in the cell, Huang Yi had to open the iron door, but he didn't have the key! This key was probably the crux of the task!

"Hao, do you have the key to the cell?" Huang Yi immediately asked Raos.

Sure enough, Raos immediately shook his head: "I don't have the key to the cell. You need to get it yourself."

"Where is the key?" Huang Yi stared directly at Raos. If his guess was correct, this would be the difficult part of the task.

"In the stone chamber where you were resurrected." Raos pointed to the path they had come from.

At the end of that path was a stone chamber glowing with a golden light, the very place where Huang Yi had been resurrected.

Huang Yi immediately walked over, and Raos followed with four guards.

When they reached the entrance of the stone chamber, Huang Yi walked straight in, but Raos and the four guards stopped outside.

Huang Yi turned around and waved them in: "Come in!"

Raos smiled bitterly and shook his head: "That's a place only you, the Heaven's Gift, can enter. We are not allowed to go in."

"Then tell me where the key is." Huang Yi looked at the large golden stone chamber, which was about the size of a football field. Finding a small key in such a vast space would be extremely difficult.

"It's in the northeast corner of the stone chamber. There are thousands of keys there. You need to be quick and grab the key for cell 11. Remember, it's 11!" Raos specially reminded him.

Huang Yi nodded, determined the direction, and immediately headed for the northeast corner of the stone chamber.

Soon, Huang Yi arrived at the northeast corner. Indeed, there were countless golden keys lying there, all identical in appearance except for the numbers engraved on them. However, the numbers were very small, and Huang Yi had to get closer to see them clearly.

At that moment, Huang Yi's foot slipped, as if he had stepped on something. He lifted his foot to take a look.

On the ground were several green beads, and some black powder nearby.

Huang Yi squatted down and picked up the beads. There were 8 of them, crystal clear and emitting a green glow, extremely beautiful, like exquisite gems!

Huang Yi carefully examined the 8 beads in his hand but received no system information. They seemed to be ordinary items. Generally, if an item had value, there would be system information when examined. Without system information, it was likely just a common item with no value.

However, these 8 green beads looked extraordinary, so Huang Yi put them in his storage ring. As for the pile of black powder, he didn't pay much attention to it, as it didn't seem valuable.

Next, Huang Yi continued toward the pile of keys.

"Whoosh!" Just as Huang Yi was 5 meters away from the keys, the thousands of keys seemed to come to life, rising into the air and rapidly spinning in the stone chamber, unable to stop!

The entire stone chamber became lively! The countless keys flew around like bees, moving quickly, forming a golden glow.

Huang Yi looked up at the flying keys. In such a large space, catching a flying key was almost impossible. The keys moved so fast that even seeing them was a challenge, let alone catching them with his hands. Moreover, he had to catch the key for cell 11 out of the thousands of keys.

"Whoosh!" At that moment, a key flew past his eyes. Huang Yi instinctively reached out to grab it but caught nothing. In the blink of an eye, the key had flown far away.

Huang Yi took a few more steps, trying to catch the flying keys, but no matter how he tried, he couldn't catch any! The keys were too fast!

Huang Yi had been trained from a young age, with agility far surpassing that of ordinary people, but in this situation, he felt powerless. The speed of the keys had already exceeded the limits of human capability.

After much effort, Huang Yi still couldn't catch a key and decided to leave the stone chamber.

"How did it go, Mr. Second Kill? Did you get the key for cell 11?" Raos saw Huang Yi come out and quickly stepped forward, asking hopefully.

Huang Yi shook his head: "No, the keys were flying too fast. I need to think of another way."

"Ah!" Raos sighed, his face slightly disappointed, but he still encouraged: "This task is indeed too difficult for your current level, but please don't lose heart. Keep trying! If you can't get the key for cell 11, try the key for cell 250!"

"250? You mean the Hydra·Dead Scale?" Huang Yi asked, "Isn't it already dead?"

"Ah? You've seen 250?" Raos was suddenly surprised, then shook his head: "The Hydra isn't dead! It's just shedding its skin and is in a weakened state, so it looks dead. It's level 250 and can definitely help you complete your task!"

"Alright!" Huang Yi rubbed his chin: "But even if it's the key for cell 250, I still can't get it. Can you provide any tools to help?"

"Sorry! No tools! You can only rely on yourself." Raos shook his head, looking helpless.

Huang Yi fell into deep thought. With his current abilities, he definitely couldn't get the key. This wasn't something that could be changed by effort alone. Some things, once they exceeded human limits, required tools. Just like how humans can't fly directly and need tools to do so, getting the key was the same. Without tools, Huang Yi couldn't get the key, at least not at his current level.

"I'll give it another try!" Huang Yi said, returning to the golden stone chamber.

Huang Yi stared at the flying keys and suddenly remembered the scale he had pulled from the Hydra·Dead Scale. The scale was as large as a fan and would be a good tool to hit the flying keys.

Huang Yi immediately took the scale out of his storage ring, intending to hit the flying keys.

However, as soon as he took it out, the scale turned into a black ash, visible to the naked eye, and scattered in the air!

A material from a level 200+ boss was destroyed! It seemed that this task really couldn't use any auxiliary tools.

The task was once again at an impasse.

Huang Yi gave up trying and sat quietly on the floor of the stone chamber, reviewing the entire task process from the moment he entered the Hero Prison, analyzing every detail without missing a single one...
