Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave novel Chapter 4238

The space inside the cage was very limited. It was barely enough just for a person to sit with his legs crossed.

Inside the cage, Geoffrey tightly grabbed the fence with both hands and looked intently at his surroundings. At this point, his mind was in a mess. He didn't know what was going to happen to him.

From what he could see, he assumed that there were probably thousands of creatures being held in the underground space. The creatures came in different forms and sizes, and they were also speaking in various undecipherable languages.

"I'm not sure but it seems like these creatures only possess little intelligence," Geoffrey murmured to himself as he observed the creatures around him. "What the hell is this place? Why did they catch me?"

Although Geoffrey was indeed smart, he was far from being as determined as his father. He could be ambitious and confident at times, but once he encountered even minor setbacks, he would easily become frustrated.

"Coo! Coo!"

Diagonally opposite to Geoffrey's position, a white bird was constantly letting out loud cries while furiously flapping his wings. He had been doing this for more than an hour now.

"Oh, shut up! It's so annoying!"

Bang!

Geoffrey shouted in extreme irritation as he punched the fence of the cage.

As the bird sensed Geoffrey's hostility, he stopped screaming for a few seconds. Then, suddenly, his eyes flashed with an ominous green light.

When Geoffrey incidentally met his eyes, he instantly felt a crushing pain in his head as if he were hit by a heavy hammer. He felt like his skull was being split open that it almost made him faint.

"Coo! Coo! Coo!"

Then, the white bird started violently flapping his wings again. His cry was even louder than before.

Geoffrey sat down for a long time, holding his aching head. After a while, the pain gradually subsided. He sat properly and helplessly said, "These creatures are so aggressive. They may be a bit intelligent, but they still look like a bunch of idiots."

Just now, the questions that appeared in the mirror were very simple. Maybe they took the cultural barriers of different races into consideration and only arranged a simple test. Even though they passed the test, Geoffrey realized that these creatures possessed inferior intelligence than humans.

Wallowing in despair, Geoffrey's eyes wandered into the cage in front of him, where the little monster he had seen before was being held.

In contrast to the white bird, this little monster didn't make a ruckus. Instead, he climbed onto the railing and stared intently at Geoffrey with his black eyes. He wore a strange and creepy smile on his face as if he had taken an interest in Geoffrey.

"Why the hell does he keep on staring at me?"

Geoffrey turned around as he complained. He covered his head with both his hands and tried to close his eyes.

Although he no longer needed any sleep after cultivating to his current level, he felt the need to isolate himself from his surroundings. He didn't want to see or hear them.

As the night passed, the noise produced by the monsters didn't cease even for a minute.

When the door of the underground space opened again, they immediately heard rustling sounds coming from beyond the door.

Geoffrey immediately stood up, pressed his head against the fence and saw that numerous spiders were coming in one after another.

Then, one of the spiders stopped in front of Geoffrey's cage. He noticed that at the back of the spider, it was carrying a pile of wooden blocks and three square wooden frames.

"What is it this time? A seven-piece puzzle?"

When Geoffrey was still in the Cloud Hall, he used to play the seven-piece puzzle. Letitia had hired someone to specifically make and customize the blocks.

After taking a quick glance, Geoffrey reached out his hand and picked out a few blocks to combine them together. In just a second, he was able to use all the seven blocks to fill the first square wooden frame.

'Come on, this is so easy!' he thought.

Then, he used twelve more blocks to fill the bigger square wooden frame, and sixteen more blocks to fill the biggest one.

'Well, compared to the earlier one, this one is a little more difficult. This test might need the level of intelligence that an ordinary eight-year-old human possesses.' As Geoffrey quickly finished, his gaze fell on the white bird that was about to take the test.

In his mind, he had no doubt that this creature possessed great strength. Just his malevolent stare was able to give Geoffrey a severe headache. However, with this test, his intelligence would definitely be tried.

The white bird stretched his head out of the fence and began picking up blocks to put into the wooden frame. However, no matter how much he tried, he wasn't able to piece the blocks together.
