C86 Profundity(part Iii)

A young man with disheveled hair and a naked upper body was tied to a wooden stake in the damp basement. The criss-crossing wounds on her bare chest were gradually healing.

"Will you tell me?" The orc in charge of the interrogation waved his whip lazily, asking over and over again. However, before he could get any results, a whip had already reached him.

At this moment, another orc came into the basement with a fragrant lamb leg. "Did you loosen your mouth?"

"What a tough nut to crack. I thought humans were all soft bones!" The long-lived beastman waved his aching arm, "Come quickly, I'm starving. Let me have some food, you go investigate."

Later, the orc placed the leg on the table and took the whip from him. "Alright, I will break this hard bone."

"Pa …"

Another fresh whip-scar landed on Changsheng's body. He trembled slightly in pain, but his eyes were still tightly shut.

"Pa …"

"Pull it! You look weak, why is he in pain? If not, why did he speak up?" The orc swallowed the leg of mutton in one gulp, pointing at another of the whip-wielding orcs.

The scene that the purple silk sneaked in to see was exactly this. With half closed eyes, longevity breathed in disorderly and hurried fashion. Although the wounds on his body were not malevolent and dense, it could be seen from the blood-red color that covered his chest that he had suffered from a lot of whipping.

"Still not saying? You are a loyal squire, but unfortunately for you, your profound strength will be depleted right away and you will die. " After the beastmen finished speaking in their broken human language, the light around their wounds flickered and disappeared.

After a "ha" of laughter, he pointed to the longevity in his hands and said, "Haha, this human has exhausted his profound energy." As he spoke, he suddenly lashed out with his whip at Changsheng's chest.

"Is that so? "Let me …" The other beastman didn't care about the lamb leg anymore. After throwing it on the table, he grabbed the whip from the man's hand and swung it towards Longevity. "This is good, now let's see if you say anything."

Very quickly, there were several deep scars on Changsheng's body. Without profound strength, he was no longer able to treat himself, and could only grit his teeth and endure.

"I'll give you one more chance. Tell me, did your master enter the beast race's forbidden area?"

At this moment, Changsheng slowly opened his eyes and stared at the two beastmen. He opened his mouth and finally spat out a sentence, "I will not tell you."

"Pa …"

Annoyed, the orc whipped again without mercy.

Zi Ling rubbed her forehead. The last time she saw this longevity, she could tell that he was a rather simple and honest person. She didn't expect him to be so silly. If he casually told a lie to the two of them, they would have no way of verifying him and give him some time to recover his profound strength. He had to enrage the two of them with what he had just said.

All right … Foolish people have good fortune! I owe it to your master.

When the beastmen brandished their whips again, the purple silk arrived in front of the two beastmen in a flash, its back facing longevity.

The two beastmen still didn't understand the situation. They tilted their heads to look at the purple silk for a moment before opening their eyes wide, letting out a string of strange sounds with their mouths wide open.

The corners of Zi Ling's mouth curved into a smile. "I killed all the Beastmen who were in her way."

After saying this, the two beastmen shivered. The beastman with the whip reflexively lashed at the purple silk.

No matter how hard the Beastmen tried, they could not move.

"Human! It's a human!" The other beastman snapped out of his shock and immediately turned around to inform the other beastmen.

The corner of Zi Ling's mouth curled up as she flicked her finger.

Whoosh … Whoosh …

Two water arrows had completely taken care of the orcs. After a quick battle, she turned around to untie the rope for Changsheng.

"It's you!"

Zi Ling did not have the time to chat with him. She quickly untied the rope and threw the clothes to him, "Can you walk by yourself?"

With Longevity freed, his body swayed a few times before finally stabilizing itself and taking a step forward. He nodded stiffly.

"That's good. Put it on and come with me." With that, Zi Ling rushed out of the basement.

She had taken care of the orcs when she first arrived, but she noticed that more and more of them were coming from the north, perhaps because they hadn't found out where they were.

After finishing her scan, she turned around and urged, "Hurry."

"Alright." Changsheng put on his clothes and endured the pain as he arrived at Zi Ling's side.

"Eat this pill." Zi Ling endured her heartache. There were only ten of them in total, but she had no choice but to give one to Changsheng.

The Small Revitalizing Pellet was able to allow Changsheng to recover a bit of his profound strength in a short period of time; this way, he would be able to use profound energy to heal himself, and it wouldn't slow him down either.

Without hesitation, Changsheng took it and threw it into his mouth.

Zi Ling paid attention to her surroundings as she looked at him, "Aren't you afraid that my medicine will be poisonous?"

"No," Changsheng firmly shook his head, "You are my master's friend, and you saved me, so you won't be poisoned."

"You sure are easy to fool." Zi Ling smiled and said.

"I'm not easy to fool because I believe in you." Longevity said in all seriousness.

Zi Ling couldn't help but laugh. She never thought that Qi Hao would have such a great treasure by his side. She didn't say anything, but hesitated for a moment. Originally, she could have just let it go after saving someone. However, Longevity was a profound practitioner specialized in healing. He might not be able to safely escape the tightly guarded Beast Race territory.

She had created a difficult problem for herself, and if she wanted to protect her longevity as she left, she would have to take another risk and enter again. Her goal was the altar, and she would not leave this place until she had achieved her goal.

"Miss Ye must have some matters to attend to since she appeared here. You go ahead and do it, but after you meet my master, tell him that we are all fine."

"Is your master really here? What kind of beast race forbidden grounds have they been sucked into? " She remembered the conversation in the tent.

"Yes, master is in the forbidden area of the beast race."

After hesitating for a moment, Zi Ling had already made her decision to let Qi Hao owe her another favor. She found that longevity brat pleasing to the eye, and decided to just send him on his way.

"Let's go!" After making her decision, she decisively raised her hand, allowing Changsheng to follow her.

Seeing that she had not left, Changsheng did not say anything and followed closely behind her. He originally thought that there would be a fierce battle, but he didn't expect that the journey would be smooth sailing.

They had walked through the beast race territory for the time it took two incense sticks to burn, but none of them had blocked their way. Longevity was naive, but he wasn't stupid, so he knew that the reason he didn't meet the beast race was not because they didn't chase him, but because they cleverly avoided the place where they searched.

As for why he could avoid it … He curiously looked at the girl beside him. This girl was the only one his master had a different opinion of. As expected, she did have some ability.

Because of his idolization of his master, he began to believe that the person who could obtain a different master was definitely not an ordinary person.

Zi Ling was completely focused on investigating the situation and did not have the time to pay attention to Changsheng. The two of them quickly left Stone City one after the other and arrived at the tent area.

The tent area had also been alerted, and the number of patrols had increased by several times.

"Go, over there!" Zi Ling reached out to the weakest point of the defense and immediately led Changsheng in that direction.

However, the tents were too crowded and there was not much cover. In the end, they were still discovered by a team of patrolling soldiers.

"Halt!"

Zi Ling had sensed the group of people behind her long ago, but she didn't turn around to look. Instead, she said to Changsheng, "Go first, leave this place and head west …"

Longevity, however, firmly shook his head. "I'm not leaving."

Zi Ling frowned and said unhappily, "If I say so, then let's go!"

He was frightened by the aura of the purple silk and saw the shadow of his master on her body. He could not help but nod. Only after leaving did he realize why he had listened to her. Would he be in danger if he left her?

The purple silk slowly turned around after seeing Chang'e leave.

Those beastmen had long rushed forward in an attempt to catch both her and Changsheng.

Zi Ling raised her eyebrows. She didn't use any spells, but instead directly used her body to fight. She had expended too much spiritual power tonight, so she had to conserve some of it.

Her body was as strong as a martial arts expert, and her movements were nimble and agile. None of the orcs that passed by her were able to escape her grasp. With a simple wave of her hand, all the orcs were dealt with.

She endured the pain of not swallowing the Small Revitalizing Pellet and continued chasing after Changsheng.

Changsheng turned his head back three times, wanting to return, but when he thought of Zi Ling's attitude, he was slightly hesitant. In the end, he finally saw Zi Ling's figure and a happy smile appeared on his honest face. "Are you alright?"

Zi Ling rolled her eyes at him, "Of course I'm fine. What can a dozen beastmen do to me? I even dared to boast to save you?"

Longevity rubbed his nose and laughed innocently, "That's right! Master said that you were very powerful. "

As the two conversed, the Arrow Tailed Tiger rushed out from in front of them, scaring Changsheng.

"Don't be afraid, this is my profound beast." Zi Ling rubbed the Tiger Tail Arrows that she rubbed against as she spoke to Changsheng.

Changsheng was not afraid, but rather surprised. He nodded and said nothing.

"Little Tiger, take him away from the territory of the beast race immediately and come back when he's safe." Zi Ling instructed.

The Tiger Bow Arrow shook its head in dissatisfaction. However, the longevity man asked in surprise, "You're not leaving?"

"I have things to do."

"It's dangerous in here." Longevity felt that now was not the right time to enter.

"Don't worry, I will do my best." With that, he urged Changsheng to sit on the back of the Tiger.

"Hey …" He still wanted to say something, but was knocked far away by Zi Ling's forceful pat on the Little Tiger's butt.

Zi Ling watched as the tiger and the man slowly disappeared into the night. Only then did she withdraw her expression and slowly turn around.

"Shadow Devil, come out." In the cold and barren wasteland, her voice was cold and desolate.

The Shadow Devil slowly floated out. Ever since it was hit by the backlash last time, it had used the excuse of healing its wounds to avoid all dangers. He didn't expect that this evil star would still think of him.

"Master, you called me?"

"Yes, I'll let you do something later."

Shadowfiend wanted to cry, because every time his master wanted him to do something good, he almost took his life.

"Just a few beastmen. With your speed, they won't be able to stop you." Zi Ling analyzed.

Under normal circumstances, she would definitely rule out danger and wouldn't send her soul pet to its death. It was just that things had happened too quickly. It was impossible for the Shadow Devil to be in a bad mood.
