Chapter 9 I, the Pangolin
Although Will has a bad character, he is not completely without good points.
For example, his work efficiency is very high, which Chen Lun appreciates very much.
Brother Will, who thought he understood the truth, quickly called the guards and asked them to find a poisonous snake, a scorpion and a pangolin.
Snakes and scorpions are okay, but pangolins are a bit hard to find.
Fortunately, this prison was built in the suburbs, next to a barren mountain.
After some effort, the guards finally caught a pangolin .
"Too slow, you idiots!"
Several guards came hurriedly carrying iron cages and glass jars, but instead of receiving Will's praise, they were scolded.
Several guards, including the man with a mustache, lowered their heads and accepted the scolding, feeling a little aggrieved for some reason.
Brother Will didn't care and took the three cute little guys.
After driving out all the guards, they were placed on the altar in front of Chen Lun.
Chen Lun secretly praised Will's service spirit.
He continued to pretend to be stupid and first opened the small iron cage containing the pangolin and took it out.
The little pangolin was a little silly, lying on Chen Lun's hand without moving.

【Ant Eater】
You learned to eat ants. Of course, termites love them the most, but bees are also okay...
Chen Lun's mouth twitched and he activated his skill again.

【Tree climbing】
You learn to climb trees, and in the trees you are a happy darling.
Chen Lun cursed inwardly, then used up his stamina again to release his skills.
His physical strength suddenly dropped to less than half, and he felt as if he had experienced three fierce battles in a row. He was exhausted and his legs were trembling.

【Digging the soil】
You have learned how to dig holes and are very good at it. You can dig out tunnels for passage or concealment in the ground or on the mountain walls in a short time.
Hey hey hey...it's finally here!
Chen Lun suppressed his inner joy and gently stroked the pangolin's little head with his fingers to show encouragement.
Brother Will stared at him without blinking, but he couldn't figure out what Chen Lun was doing.
Because in his vision, Chen Lun just grinned at the stupid pangolin and then touched it in an obscene manner.
At this point, Chen Lun’s plan for today has been perfectly accomplished.
He planned to leave after his work was done, hiding his achievements and fame.
Well, come back tomorrow.
Chen Lun knew that if it ended like this, Will would most likely not buy it, so he decided to throw out something mysterious to steady him and let him figure it out slowly.
"The earth... the vast earth... the sin of greed..."
Looking at the pangolin in his hand, Chen Lun's mind raced and he thought of a mysterious sequence path, among which [Sequence 9 Tomb Robber] was somewhat in line with it.
So he made up some random words and spit out a few words.
Then he let out a cry and fell to the ground, unconscious.
Will immediately gave an expression that said, "I don't understand, but I'm very shocked."
"The extraordinary sequence pathway of the [Earth Faction]... the original sin of greed... could it be that they are talking about the people in the History and Ritual Association...?"
Will was thinking hard, a light flashed in his mind, and his expression gradually became serious.
Based on the bad news he had received from other churches some time ago, as well as some clues from a few words, he immediately connected the fragments together and got a clear direction.
"No, this news is very important. I must convey it to the bishop immediately."
Will casually told Floy to take Chen Lun away, and he left quickly with a heavy heart.
Wait until the footsteps gradually fade away.
"You can get up now."
Floy squatted down and whispered a reminder.
Chen Lun didn't move.
Floy frowned slightly and poked Chen Lun's body with her fingers.
Still motionless.
“…”
"Really fainted?"
Floy turned around and looked at the basement door, and found that there was no guard nearby.
She continued to look down at the young man in front of her. His slightly curly black hair was a little long and scattered on his face.
Maybe it’s because he took a shower, he looks very clean.
I didn't have a chance to take a closer look before, but I have to say he is indeed handsome.
The young man's eyes suddenly opened, and his eyeballs rolled, first glancing at Floy, then scanning the surrounding environment.
He quickly got up and brushed the dust off his body.
"Okay, let's go."
Floy was stunned for a moment, then smiled silently.
"Um."
When she was about to walk out of the basement, she suddenly turned to Chen Lun and said:
"Father Carter will be back soon... If you really plan to take me away, please hurry up."
"He is also a transcendent being with great strength...
I once saw him kill a group of twenty bandits easily by himself."
Chen Lun stopped.
Priest?
He had previously learned about his geographical location through Floy.
This priest is the head of Emerald Town, a remote town in the eastern part of the Trisur Empire, and is the head of this branch of the Red Apple Church.
Commonly known as the leader.
But even if it is just a small place, it is still the Red Apple Church, a powerful force that wreaked havoc across the empire in version 1.0 of the game.
This priest is not to be underestimated.
"I know, don't worry, it will be fine soon."
…
It was late at night two days later.
The cell where Chen Lun was located was very quiet.
But the strange thing was that there was no one inside, only big black rats that occasionally came out from under the straw pile in the corner of the wall.
The rats had small pieces of stone and sand in their mouths and paws and they slid out of the prison very swiftly.
They were very cautious, stopping from time to time to listen and smell, and only moved when the guards were not paying attention, and in the blink of an eye they would disappear to who knows where.
But after a while they will come back again, and the cycle will repeat.
Suddenly, the straw pile arched up, shook twice, and then was gently pushed open, and a dirty hand reached out from underneath.
Following closely behind was Chen Lun’s sweaty head.
He slowly crawled out from underground and carefully covered the pile of straw again.
The whole process was smooth and almost silent.
Chen Lun sat down on the ground and let out a long breath.
He scattered the prepared bread crumbs, and the big black rats swarmed in, leaving happily with the reward for their labor.
"After two days and two nights of hard work, we finally dug it out..."
Chen Lun wiped the sweat off his face, smiled, grabbed a handful of clean straw to wipe his hands, and thought silently in his heart.
In order not to attract the attention of the church, he could only dig holes when the guards were fishing.
Most of these times are in the evening and late at night, because the man with a mustache always encourages others to go out and drink and fool around.
There are only a few people left in the nearby prison, and the church hasn't sent any new people here for a long time.
Chen Lun was very glad that the place was empty, which reduced the possibility of being discovered.
But in order to increase the probability of escape, he deliberately dug a longer tunnel to avoid being caught on the spot as soon as he got out, so it took a little more time.
"I'll finish reading the Animal Tamer's Manual tomorrow, and everything will be ready!"
"You'll be finished if I don't do it...!"
