Han Xing was about to remind him when he heard the boy continue, "Don't worry, that fat guy will only be active inside the well and won't be concerned with things here."

Jing Liu asked hurriedly, "What exactly is this place? How long have you been held captive?"

The boy hesitated for a moment and then said, "I... don't know. We are injected with many things every day. Those people call us experimental subjects. I don't know what an experimental subject is."

The three of them looked at each other and understood.

Han Xing hurriedly asked, "Little brother, have you seen the pink-haired girls and the red-haired Yu Yiba sister?"

"I think... I saw them. They were locked up inside by the gatekeepers. They might have been locked up in a special cell."

-------------------------------------

Chapter 201 Brothers and Sisters (5k)

"Specialized prison?" Han Xing frowned slightly and looked a little unhappy when he heard the boy's words.

The young man took a step back in fear at Han Xing's expression. Bai Lu then asked, "Don't be afraid. We're not bad people. Those captured girls are our companions. Can you tell us where exactly this 'special prison' you mentioned is?"

The young woman's expression changed when she heard this. Her green eyes, which had been sunken and dim, became bright again. She looked directly at Han Xing and said word by word, "Okay, but you must agree to one condition of mine. Otherwise, even if you kill me, you won't know."

Han Xing looked at the boy's resolute expression and felt a little less wary. After all, in this situation, free help could very well be a trap. If the other party was asking for something, the danger would be much smaller.

"You said, as long as it is within my ability, I can agree to it." Han Xing replied.

Seeing Han Xing's agreement, the young man excitedly crawled to the edge of the cell. His eyes, filled with hatred, looked at Han Xing with red blood, and said coldly: "I want you to kill all the bad guys in this 'hell'!"

Although the sound was not loud, it was the loudest volume it could produce for the extremely weak boy. He stretched out his hand and boldly grabbed the corner of Han Xing's clothes. The hatred in his eyes and the madness that had been suppressed for who knows how long were no longer concealed.

Looking at those eyes, Han Xing couldn't help but ask: "Why...why didn't you ask me to save you?"

The young man smiled, his eyes dim as he said, "Is this even necessary? I'm already a cripple. My sister and I have been in this prison since birth. We've been consumables for experiments since birth, at the mercy of those people. Even if you can rescue me, how can I possibly avenge my sister on my own?"

Han Xing looked behind the boy, but saw only a tattered piece of clothing that looked like a girl's. The fate of the boy's sister was self-evident. She nodded and said to the boy, "I promise you."

Seeing this, the young man handed the torn clothes behind him to Han Xing and said with some pride: "I just drew it when they weren't paying attention. Can you see if you can understand it?"

Han Xing took it and unfolded the tattered clothes. There were a lot of bloodstains on it. What surprised her was that the map drawn on the clothes was very neat. It didn't look like it could be drawn by a teenager who grew up in prison since birth.

Seeing Han Xing's satisfied look, the young man began to explain, "This was taught to me by an older brother who was captured here before. I learned a lot from him. After my sister left, I forced myself to keep this dress. They thought I was reluctant to let her go. But what they didn't know is that every time I was taken for an experiment, I would memorize the route along the way and draw it on the clothes when I returned."

Jingliu glanced at the young man and sighed, "He's intelligent and strong-willed, but unfortunately, his luck is against him and his fate is against him."

The young man laughed at himself, waved his hand and said, "Sisters, don't feel sorry for me. I can't even protect my own sister. Even if I want revenge, I have to rely on others. Besides, I have already gone through several experiments. There is no way I can survive."

Bai Lu heard this and tugged at Han Xing's hand. Han Xing knew what she meant and said to the young man inside, "Stay here. We'll come back to find you after we've dealt with the warden."

The young man was stunned, and his eyes changed as he looked at Han Xing and said, "Big sister, don't worry about me. They transplanted the monster's flesh into my body. Although I have good adaptability, it has reached its limit."

As he spoke, he raised his arm, revealing countless tiny scars densely packed and neatly arranged. Then, the enormous fleshy ball, which the young man had deliberately hidden in the darkness behind him, slowly emerged. Where his body met the fleshy ball, visible signs of festering and decay had already appeared.

Bai Lu looked at everything in front of her in disbelief and said angrily, "How could these people...how could they do such a thing?!!"

The young man, however, seemed to have long since accepted his fate. He said calmly, "Everyone here is like this. Those people treat us short-lived creatures like dirt, casually stitching our bodies together with the flesh and blood of those strange creatures. If we reject them, we're failures, and we die. If we manage to survive, we'll just have to wait for the next experiment. Perhaps it would be better for us to die right from the start."

At this point, the young man shook his head, as if he didn't want to talk about his own affairs anymore. He turned to the crowd and said, "Big sister, I suggest you hurry up and find your companions. Although according to normal procedures, all captured people must be tested. But judging by the attitude of the escorts before, those sisters are obviously different from ordinary test subjects. Experiments on them will most likely be conducted soon."

Han Xing nodded, pulled Bai Lu up, and the three of them walked straight into the depths.

"Little brother, my name is Han Xing, wait for me! I will kill all those bad guys without a single one left alive!"

The boy watched the figure gradually become blurred, then looked down at his own skinny body and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"...little brother? But it doesn't matter. As long as my sister's revenge is avenged, I can endure any pain. But...but if these sisters had come earlier, would my sister have survived..."

......

"Don't move!" Jingliu placed the sword in his hand across the neck of a guard in a black robe.

The guard was clearly unprepared. Seeing that his life and death were controlled by someone else, he quickly raised his hands and said, "No! Lady, as long as you don't kill me, I'll do whatever you want."

Han Xing's voice sounded coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, I ask you questions and you answer them. If you dare to say one more word, I will send you to death!"

Upon hearing this, the guard quickly covered his mouth and nodded desperately.

Han Xing pointed at the map in his hand and asked, "Is the special prison here?"

The guard nodded and said, "It's a little rough, but the general location is correct."

Han Xing continued to ask, "How many guards are there here? Are there any patrolling monsters? Or any special devices?"

The guard thought for a moment and quickly replied, "There are two elite teams and dozens of guards guarding the way. You can't get in."

Jing Liu moved the sword forward and said coldly, "Just say what you're told. Don't say unnecessary nonsense. Tell me, do you have any monsters to train?"

"Lady, don't get excited. There are definitely monsters out there. We have no shortage of them here. I'm just kindly reminding you that although there aren't any special devices inside, it would be difficult for you to enter the special prison without someone familiar with the terrain to lead the way."

The ice-blue sword slowly moved away, and just when the guard thought his talk had been successful, he found that his body could not move at all.

——Crack!

There was a sound of shattering, and the guard who had turned into an ice sculpture broke into pieces and shattered into countless tiny ice crystals and powder and disappeared.

Han Xing didn't care at all about the guard's tragic death. After all, there was probably no one here who hadn't taken an innocent life. After a brief pause, Han Xing turned to the two people beside him and said, "If it's true as this guy said, I can only go this far alone. The three of us are too conspicuous."

Jing Liu pursed his lips and said, "How about we just charge in directly and then..."

Han Xing shook his head and interrupted, "No way. If those people knew we broke in, they would definitely find a chance to attack Sanyue and the others. Then we would be completely passive and it would be difficult to rescue them."

"But...!" Jingliu wanted to say something, but Han Xing had already made up his mind: "Master, you take Bailu and hide first. After I sneak in, I will quietly tell you the location of Sanyue and the others. When I cause a commotion, you can take the opportunity to sneak in and rescue them."

Seeing that Han Xing had made up his mind, Jing Liu could only nod helplessly and said, "Then be careful. If you encounter danger, remember to put your own life first. As long as you have the green mountains, you will never lack firewood. If something happens to you, no one will be able to save San Yueqi and the others."

.....

In the darkness, a black shadow moved silently, blending into the shadows and no one could detect it.

In the corridor, footsteps echoed in the empty space, as if swallowed by the endless darkness and silence. At the cave entrance, the dim light illuminated the figure of a tall guard. He whispered to a shorter and fatter guard beside him, "Hey! Have you heard? A new batch of short-lived species have been captured. I heard they're from outside."

The short and fat guard replied, "Haha, you just heard about it. I've seen it all! I heard that the new batch of people are very talented. The elders plan to use that thing directly on them this time. If it succeeds, all our years of hard work will be rewarded!"

At this point, the short and fat guard smacked his lips and said, "Speaking of this, I think of the twins. The little brat had clearly survived the third experiment, but unfortunately failed on the fourth. She was clearly at her best and could have gained unprecedented power if she had just survived. And her older sister, although she survived for a long time, I don't think she will live much longer. What a pity..."

The tall guard sneered, "Tsk, isn't it because those short-lived species are too fragile? They're doomed if they encounter any accidents during the experiment."

The short and fat guard sneered, "So what do you want? Are you trying to experiment with the immortality species? If they create another evil dragon, I'm afraid this place will be wiped out by the Ten Kings and the Cloud Riders. Now we are hiding in the dark. As long as we can find the right formula, success is only a matter of time."

"Really?"

At this moment, a cold voice sounded from behind the two of them, carrying an extremely cold murderous intent.

"Who!?" The short and fat guard immediately raised his spear, looked around vigilantly, and said to the tall guard, "Quick, I'll be on guard here, you go back and report to the elders!"

But after a long time, he didn't hear the reply from the tall guard, and when he turned around, there was no one behind him.

Paji——!

Something seemed to have fallen from the ceiling. The short and fat guard walked over vigilantly. When he got closer, he found that it was the head of the tall guard. He was so scared that he crawled outside, letting out a miserable scream.

"There's a ghost! There's a ghost! Help!"

Suddenly, someone grabbed his neck, and Han Xing's voice rang directly in his heart, extremely cold and without a trace of warmth.

"If you make any more noises I don't like, I don't recommend sending you to see your companions. Of course, the process won't be as fast as his."

Upon hearing this, the short and fat guard began to tremble with fear, but he covered his mouth tightly and did not make any sound.

Han Xing couldn't help but sneer, "How interesting! They're obviously a bunch of executioners, yet they're actually afraid of ghosts. When you kill people, don't you ever think about the possibility that the souls of those you killed might seek revenge on you one day?"

"I...I..." The short and fat guard wanted to speak, but was interrupted impatiently by Han Xing. She was too lazy to listen to these beastly nonsense and said directly: "Take me to where the new prisoners are held. Don't make any small moves, otherwise..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the short and fat guard felt the soles of his shoes begin to melt, and a hot breath surged in the ground, as if it could burn him into nothingness at any time.

"I...I understand, sir. You, you follow me. I won't do anything tricky."

The short and fat guard said this and walked straight ahead. Han Xing turned into a black shadow and merged into his shadow.

Following the short, fat guard, Han Xing passed through several caves. Several of them held numerous prisoners. Most of them resembled the initial prisons, stacked densely like Tetris blocks. Among them, the one that impressed Han Xing the most was a mountain of countless wriggling flesh.

Countless flesh-seeking insects were swirling inside, and in the very center, a red lump of flesh covered with golden lines was constantly spewing out countless insect eggs from its body, like the queen ant in an ant nest.

A man also dressed in black, holding a steel knife, flew up and cut off a large piece of flesh from the red and gold-patterned "visual flesh". He placed it in a container and then turned and left.

Han Xing's heart was slightly moved, but he didn't linger. The most important thing now was to meet San Yueqi and the others. Everything else could be put aside for the time being.

After walking for a while, the short and fat guard came to a stone wall and stopped. Han Xing was about to ask when she saw a beam of energy sweeping towards the short and fat guard. She hurriedly hid under the guard's feet and finally avoided the detection.

Then, the stone wall in front became illusory. The short and fat guard looked around, hesitated for a moment, and then walked forward.

The strong smell of medicine mixed with the smell of blood hit his face, and the black shadow under the feet of the short and fat guard caused a wave of movement. The smell was so strong that even Han Xing, who had turned into a black shadow, could hardly accept it.

His spiritual sense spread out in all directions, and Han Xing's vision revealed rows of black torches. In the dim light, they cast distorted, eerie shadows of those around them. The walls on either side of the passage were inlaid with stone incantations, emitting a strange energy fluctuation.

In the center of the room, beneath a gigantic alchemy furnace, green flames burned silently, and the flickering fire emitted a strange, corrosive aura.

"Sir, are you...are you still there?" The short and fat guard asked tentatively, his two small eyes looking around like a mouse, as if trying to find Han Xing's location.

"I'm everywhere. If you don't want to die, just shut up and lead the way. If I catch you doing anything, I won't mind having someone else lead the way."

Hearing Han Xing's indifferent response, the short and fat guard immediately put on an honest and submissive look, and walked quickly and silently forward.

Walking into an alchemy room, Han Xing's attention was drawn to various bottles and jars placed in a corner. These bottles and jars were filled with all sorts of bizarre plants, animal parts, and human remains. These corpses exuded a creepy, bloody odor, and among them, Han Xing clearly saw several strange specimens, and could even vaguely make out the outlines of human figures.

Han Xing looked at all this coldly, and the black shadow did not fluctuate at all.

A paranoid and frantic voice rang out from the front: "Extract one or two ounces of Chiming Dragon Marrow alive. Haha, every time I get to this point, I feel my whole body agitated. I hope those new short-lived creatures can withstand the effects of this medicine."

"No...no, we are obviously from the same race, why are you doing this to me?"

A shrill voice rang out, filled with resentment and fear. His body was imprisoned on the stone bed, and his long ears indicated his identity as a member of the Chiming tribe.

In front of him, a man in a doctor's uniform smiled and plunged a long spike directly into the bound man's pelvis. Seeing the man struggling in pain, the doctor smiled madly and said, "So, my dear fellow, now is the time for you to sacrifice yourself for the tribe. Don't worry, we will all remember you."

The tied-up man let out a cry of pain and opened his mouth to say something, but his voice was covered tightly. He fainted without making any sound.

"Alright." The doctor took out the long thorn and placed drops of dragon marrow into a specially made container. Without even turning back, he said, "Throw that fellow into the Scaled Abyss and let him transform. After all, every life in the clan is a treasure trove now."

His voice was obviously emphasized on the word "treasure house", which made those who followed him look sideways.

Suddenly, the doctor seemed to notice something and turned to look at the short, fat guard standing at the cave entrance. A smile played on his face, and he asked kindly, "Fellow tribesman, may I ask... what do you want from me?"

Chapter 202 You won’t let me kiss you now?!

Hearing the doctor's question, the short and fat guard's calf twitched, and he almost stumbled to the ground. Seeing the doctor's increasingly kind look, the short and fat guard hurriedly said, "Yes... The elder asked me to check on the short-lived people who were recently detained. He's afraid they might cause trouble if they don't behave themselves."

Upon hearing this, the doctor's interest in the short and fat guard waned significantly. His gaze returned to the golden dragon marrow in his hand, and he lazily said, "Then what are you still doing here? Why don't you get in quickly? If anything goes wrong, next time... I'll use you for the experiment."

"Yes...yes!" The short and fat guard walked inside quickly.

Han Xing followed closely and silently memorized the appearance of these people.

......

"Sister Jizi, how are you?"

In a damp and sturdy cell, Sanyueqi was holding Ji Zi, who had a grim expression on her face, and the flames in his hands danced, driving away the strange black mist around him.

Ji Zi forced a slight smile and said to Sanyueqi, "It's okay, little Sanyue. This poison will only make me uncomfortable for a while, but it won't be life-threatening."

The worried expression on San Yueqi's face did not diminish at all, and he was anxious in his heart.

Sakura's long sword had disappeared, and Alicia's eyes were filled with worry.

Walter also looked serious, pacing anxiously.

—Snap! —Snap!

Crisp footsteps sounded in the black fog ahead, and a short and fat guard in black walked in. He wore a jade stone of unknown material on his head, which dispelled all the black fog surrounding him.

Seeing this, Walter immediately stopped everyone and said to the short and fat guard with a bad face: "What do you want to do?"

But the short and fat guard ignored Walter and shouted weakly to the void around him: "Sir, I have brought you in, look..."

Han Xing's voice echoed in the void: "Well, you did very well."
