Chapter 224: A Monster That Is Neither Human nor Ghost
Chapter 224: A Monster That Is Neither Human nor Ghost
There were four people at the dungeon entrance, and Huo Yuanruo was thinking about how to lead them away.
Qingyu took off a hairpin from her head. There were a few pearls on it. She exerted force and the pearls broke off the hairpin.
She put the hairpin back on her head, looked around, circulated her inner strength, and shot the pearl towards the end of the road.
“Snap, boom!”
Dozens of stones fell from the top of the stone wall that was hit, making a loud noise.
The four guards at the door looked at each other, and the leader of them said to the two people who had just fed the people in the dungeon, "Hey, you two, go check what's going on."
The two men were somewhat reluctant, but they did not dare to disobey, so they had to go anyway.
“Why is it always us?”
"Keep your voice down. If someone hears you, you'll get scolded again."
"I heard it, I'm not afraid of him. I will have holy water soon. Who is more noble?"
"Just bear with it. After all, there is a Holy Envoy in their family."
Huo Yuanruo found the right moment and hit one of them on the leg with a piece of broken silver.
With a cry of "Ouch", the man fell down. Whispering then shot out two pearls, and the man who fell down was hit on the back of the head just as he tried to get up, and fainted.
The other person wanted to help him, but was hit on the back of the neck by another pearl and also fainted.
"Hey, what's going on with these two?"
Just as the remaining two people were about to check, they smelled a strange fragrance and fell down immediately.
Huo Yuanruo appeared from the darkness and put the lid on a black porcelain bottle in his hand.
Whispering frowned, "Will they get suspicious when they wake up?"
"It's okay. Second Master said this thing can cause people to lose their memory temporarily."
"Then why didn't you use it right away?" Why wait for her to do it? Isn't that a waste of time?
Huo Yuanruo scratched his head awkwardly, "I just remembered."
Qingyu shook her head helplessly, took the key from the little leader's waist, opened the door of the cell and went in to check.
If Uncle Zhang is still alive, he is most likely here.
After all, they searched all the way and saw so many corpses, but Uncle Zhang's was not among them, so he was probably still alive.
The two of them checked separately, one looking from inside to outside, and the other looking from outside to inside. After all, there were about a hundred people here.
"Sister Whisper."
Huo Yuanruo whispered excitedly, "I found Uncle Zhang."
Qingyu turned around quickly and saw Huo Yuanruo carrying a man in gray cloth clothes out. Qingyu recognized Zhang Yi at a glance, although he looked a little embarrassed and dusty at the moment.
Qingyu went forward and felt his pulse. He was still alive. After a quick check, he had some external injuries but they were not serious. Qingyu took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom and put it to Zhang Yi's nose. Soon, Zhang Yi's tightly closed eyelids moved.
Huo Yuanruo looked at Qingyu in surprise and said, "You're awake. Hehehe, Sister Qingyu, you're awake."
Qingyu was also very happy, "Uncle Zhang? Uncle Zhang, how do you feel?"
Zhang Yi opened his eyes in some pain, put his hand on his forehead, frowned, and slowly opened his eyes, saying in disbelief, "Yuan Ruo? Qingyu?"
Huo Yuanruo was extremely happy. "It's me, it's me, Uncle Zhang, you're finally awake. You were so scared when you disappeared, but luckily, you're okay."
Qingyu carefully helped the man up, "Uncle Zhang, are you feeling unwell somewhere else?"
Zhang Yi gritted his teeth and tried to get up, but found that he had no strength at all. "I... I just have no strength."
"It must be because of the drug," Qingyu looked around, "We have to leave quickly, the person who will deliver...food will be here soon."
Huo Yuanruo hurriedly carried Zhang Yi on his back and said, "Yes, the time is almost up. I guess Junior Master and the others are already waiting at the door."
Zhang Yi's eyes widened. "Why is the master here too? How could you let her take risks? For... for a servant like me."
Huo Yuanruo said dissatisfiedly, "Uncle Zhang, what are you talking about? Who is a servant? Ah? Who is a servant? You are our elder, okay?"
"Yes, Uncle Zhang, we have been a family for so many years. Xiaojiu would definitely be sad if he heard you say that."
Zhang Yi's eyes were red, but he recovered quickly. He pointed at the cell and said, "There are a few Wu people over there. Do you see them?"
Huo Yuanruo and Qingyu turned around to look at the cell at the same time, and indeed saw three men in black robes lying together.
Qingyu went forward to check, and found the man was still unconscious. She searched him up and down, and found that there was nothing on him. She probably had been searched by the Chiya people, and anything he had was probably taken away long ago.
"nothing."
Zhang Yi looked at the unconscious man thoughtfully, "These people must know how to treat the bloodworms."
Huo Yuanruo immediately said, "Then let's carry one out."
Qingyu looked at one of the witches. There was a golden torch symbol on his cloak, and it seemed that he should be of higher status than the two next to him.
She picked him up and put him on her shoulder, "Let's go, Xiaojiu is probably waiting."
At this moment, Li Mulan and Xing Wu stared at the scene in front of them with their eyes wide open, not daring to breathe, and not blinking. Li Mulan's hand was still covering Xing Wu's mouth. If she hadn't reacted quickly, they would have been exposed.
Xing Wu blinked his eyes and signaled his princess to take her hand away. If their prince knew about this, his life would be in danger.
Li Mulan nodded and continued to look at the situation below. It was a huge place similar to a sacrificial ceremony, with thousands of people kneeling below. At this moment, it should be like what they heard before, doing evening classes, and chanting something.
In front of these people, that is, to the lower left of where Li Mulan and Xing Wu were, there were twelve people in white robes sitting cross-legged. Their clothes were different from those of ordinary Chiya people, and they were embroidered with golden ghost vines, so their identities must be different.
And among these twelve people, there was another person sitting there, looking at the moon surrounded by stars. He was probably the high priest they were talking about.
But what made Li Mulan and Xing Wu so frightened just now was not these, but a creature right below them... a creature of unknown nature.
If you call it a human, it looks like a pile of boneless rotten meat, which weighs at least 400 to 500 kilograms. There is not a single piece of gauze on it, and it is full of disgusting fat-like things, which are still squirming. There are two eyes in the middle, which look like human eyes, half-closed, and occasionally looking up at the people outside.
What kind of monster is this?
There was a huge screen in front of it, separating it from the other Chiya people outside.
Li Mulan carefully observed the situation below. Next to this monster that was neither human nor ghost, there was a huge irregular stone, like... a meteorite, emitting a faint light and floating in the air.
