C98

I was sitting cross-legged on the ground, cultivating, when I heard the sound of footsteps in the long corridor, and I immediately lay down on the ground, pretending to be asleep. I couldn't tell people that I wanted to escape alive, and that would only increase their vigilance, so every time I heard someone coming, I pretended to be asleep, with my arms and legs spread out, giving off the feeling that I had given up all hope of my life.

The door was opened and they quickly entered the cell. One of the men in black kicked me, who was sleeping on the floor, impatiently said, "Stop playing dead. Hurry up and get up. I'll send you on your way today."

After waiting for a long time, this day finally arrived. But after hearing this terrible news, I didn't feel any deep despair. Instead, I felt a sense of relief. I knew that this day would come sooner or later.

After that man in black kicked me, he started to pull the iron chains on my body. At this moment, another man in black said, "Old Pan, you be careful, this guy is a ferocious man. A few days ago he killed more than a dozen of our brothers.

The guy with the iron chain laughed nonchalantly and said, "I don't believe it. He's like a dead dog being tied up by iron chains, do you think he can make a ruckus?"

"Then you still have to be careful. I've never heard of a dog that bites, right? Look at him now. Maybe he's holding something bad in his heart …" That black-clothed man from before snickered.

At this moment, the face of the fellow who touched the metal chain on my body tensed up. He turned to the other men in black beside him and said, "Then what are you all still standing there for? Why aren't you all coming over to help?"

With that said, the few men in black immediately walked towards me. They pulled me up from the ground and controlled me.

That black-clothed person took out 'what if' and opened the lock on the iron chain on my hand. Very quickly, someone took out a short iron chain and locked my hands.

After locking my hands, they undid the chain around my feet and replaced it with a shorter one to secure my feet.

With this, I suddenly felt like I was being escorted to the execution ground to execute the execution.

That's right, I'm probably going to lose my life today.

The guy with the red phoenix eyes didn't say a word and just looked at me coldly. He held a dagger in his hand and pointed it at my chest. I thought he was going to kill me, so I couldn't help but take a step back.

"You'd better be honest. If you want to court death, I don't mind sending you off immediately. Now, follow us!"

As the kid with the phoenix eyes said that, I was pushed out of the cell by the other men in black.

As I walked, the iron chains around me clattered. The guy with the phoenix eyes was walking in front, me in the middle, and a few men in black behind me. They all held sharp blades in their hands as they escorted me out of the long passageway.

At this moment, I discovered that the tunnel was very long, and there were many cells on both sides of the corridor. There were many men and women with disheveled hair, and they were all dirty, so their appearances could not be clearly seen, but they all had one thing in common, and that was that they were all as thin as firewood, with expressionless faces and lifeless eyes. When I was pushed out of the cell by these men in black, no one raised their heads to look at me.

I think they've been here for a long time. I can feel the numbness and indifference in their expressions, and maybe if I stay here for a long time like them, I'll be like them …

Other than being numb to it, there was a deep sense of despair.

We've been walking for a long time, and I can't even count how many people are in these cells anymore. I don't even know where they got them from, or if they were people like my little cousin, robbed from all over the place.

If not, I can't figure out why they're locked up in a place like this.

After walking out of the tunnel, the guy with the phoenix eyes kept walking forward, then turned around a few corners, and the environment inside quickly changed, it was a gigantic cave that had been converted into a dungeon, the mountain above my head still had some stalactites, and even the road was sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, and there were also a few black-clothed men guarding the path at intervals, with sharp blades in their hands. As these black-clothed men pressed against me, they didn't even look at me, it was obvious that they were used to this kind of thing, and did not find it strange at all.

After walking forward for a distance, I was pushed into a large hall by the black-clothed men.

After entering the hall, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The hall was brightly lit with huge braziers in all directions. I didn't know what fuel was in the brazier, but the blazing flames made the room dim. Soon after, I saw that there were a lot of people standing in the hall.

Some of these people were black-clothed, while the other part were prisoners imprisoned in those cells.

They stood quietly in the hall like me, but they were not shackled.

I was the last one to be brought in, so I was last, wondering what was going to happen next.

The entire hall was filled with a solemn atmosphere, so heavy that it was difficult to breathe.

Far away, through the dense crowd, I saw a huge altar at the very front of the hall. Under the altar, there was a pile of human skulls, forming a triangle.

When I saw this situation, my heart trembled. With so many skulls, there should be at least a few hundred people. Where did they get these skulls? Could it be fake?

But I don't think so. The skulls look real.

Right behind that altar, there seems to be a rectangular pool. I don't know what it is used for, but above the pool, there is a huge cauldron. That cauldron is ancient, and from a glance, I can tell that it isn't a product of the modern era.

The crowd moved forward bit by bit, and I was pushed around by the men in black behind me.
