It's the beauty that brings disaster. I'm also desperate.

and.

The internal strife among the ghosts gradually subsided.

The war that lasted for forty years had already left Xizhou in ruins. With the deaths of ordinary people and warriors in large numbers, the number of ghosts was replenished at an extremely fast rate.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

Many powerful ghosts of new generation are born!

Among them, Su, Nan, Liu and Ning are the strongest... They compete with the old generation of ghost leaders, the "Mist Sea Twins", and the twelve cities are divided into factions.

after that.

The Ghost Queen recovered from her injuries, and the four of them joined forces with Lu Zhi and Wei Dong'er, and the six leaders worked together to fight against the Queen.

Finally, 40 years of chaos...

The internal strife among the ghosts stopped, and the ghosts of Xizhou were divided into two major forces - the seven cities in the fog domain and the five cities in the ghost domain.

The Fog Region is divided and ruled by seven city lords who form an offensive and defensive alliance.

The ghost realm is ruled by the queen alone.

That year, Grandmaster Hua's strength reached a new level, and he finally sensed the location of Sheng Sheng's soul. He immediately ordered Xia Liu to infiltrate Renwang Castle and secretly bring him back...

"...I have received the secret order from Master Hua, and I dare not make the slightest mistake. I will stay near the No. 3 Yunyin Pit and wait for the young lady to wake up."

"But......"

Xia Li knew what she wanted to say, but he waited and waited but she didn't come out.

Not to mention Xia Liu, even the four Yin generals in the city had been waiting for countless years, until Ming Jinhu had absorbed enough Yin energy, and she finally showed up.

The experience of lurking for many years was self-disciplined and monotonous, and the old woman disguised herself very well, so no one noticed her identity.

But in the chaotic 90s, something went wrong...

In Niou Castle.

Not only are there warrior slaves, but ordinary humans have been reduced to livestock, being ordered around by ghosts.

Xia Liu, who had witnessed this phenomenon for many years, naturally hated it, but in order to bring the young lady back, she always suppressed her resentment and never dared to interfere... But that year, a tragedy happened in front of her house.

A woman was killed in the street because she was blocking the road, and the couple she left behind will also be killed...

"...I wanted to turn a blind eye, but the younger sister died tragically in front of me. Her limbs and head were torn off by the ghosts, and the blood flowed all over the ground, so red that it was blinding."

When talking about what she saw that year, Old Mrs. Xia still felt a little reluctant.

The broken body was like the broken body parts of a doll, scattered in a pool of blood. The sharp screams from the other party in his clear voice became her nightmare every night.

She did not regret saving her only surviving sister, but she regretted that she hesitated and failed to save the dead one!

What happens next is clear.

Five years later, Xia Liu and her adopted daughter were discovered and captured by Lu Man, who imprisoned them both in the slave area of ​​the training ground.

Until I met Shengsheng not long ago...

"You did the right thing, Xia Liu."

After hearing the whole story, the girl felt a little sad.

She still remembered that when she first came to this world, Xizhou was peaceful and prosperous. But she didn't expect that it would become a hell on earth now...

Just at this moment.

The unchanging thing in Xia Li's heart, the thing called "human nature", prompted her to come up with an idea.

——Anyway, I have to leave Niou Castle to find my cheap father and get the secret technique.

——Why not rescue the warriors in the slave area?

She definitely couldn't save the people in the city, because there were too many of them and they didn't have any martial arts skills and were slow to move. Even if she could empathize with them, she couldn't get herself involved.

It doesn't matter if I just help...

Warriors are an important resource. If we can rescue a city's warriors and bring them back, it will be of great help to the human race.

--Well.

——Does this count as helping the tool flower to relieve its worries?

"Let's go, we should go back."

The girl's emotions were racing.

But this matter is fraught with difficulties and requires long-term consideration, and it cannot be sorted out in a short period of time.

Xia Li patted his old maid on the shoulder.

"...It took quite a while. If it were any later, it would probably arouse suspicion."

Chapter 62: Cold-blooded Shengsheng, watching someone die without helping

Shengsheng brought Xia Liu back to the slave area. Although it was a little later than usual, no one else was suspicious except Qi Wan who looked at him with a strange look.

Nothing happened.

Afterwards, some low-level warrior slaves entered the arena to fight. Sheng Sheng stopped paying attention to them and calmed down to sort out the gains he had just made...

After many days of no progress in intelligence, we finally got what we wanted and obtained a lot of important information.

original.

The twelve cities of Xizhou had already fallen one after another in the forty years after her death, and the human side had only built two new cities under the protection of Master Hua Shuangxue and his apprentice. Since the end of the sixty-year armistice agreement, humans today are probably trying to survive in the cracks.

The last time I heard from Xiang Yi, the lord of Renwang Castle is now at the peak of the Grandmaster level and is only one step away from becoming a Grandmaster.

I don't know which one of the two villains in the fog sea or Liu Ning from Southern Jiangsu is the other person...

But, no matter who it is.

The group of powerful ghosts back then have become increasingly powerful after years of practice.

The gap between them and the grandmasters is getting smaller year by year, and the most terrifying ghost queen is probably recovering from her old injuries, waiting for the day to settle accounts with the traitors.

——Master Hua Jiu and his apprentice can protect the people of Xizhou for a while, but not forever.

——The situation is not optimistic.

Xia Li felt something in his heart and couldn't help but sigh.

Of course...

Although she was full of emotion, she didn't have the extra energy to share the worries for the whole clan. The most urgent task was to improve her own strength and consolidate her foundation... After finding Xia Ye and learning the family's secret skills to advance to the [Fourth Realm] level of warriors, she would be able to truly protect herself!

Before this, she didn't want to get involved in those messes.

But if you can help me, I don't mind lending a helping hand.

"The biggest gain today is probably this drop of water..."

In Shengsheng's perception, a drop of pure white water in the Mingjin pot was rotating at a constant speed around an invisible void in the center of the pot like a planet.

One drop of pure white water is equivalent to ten drops of colorless water.

and.

The last time Shengsheng broke through the third level and was promoted to the second level, he only used up five drops of water. And the fifth drop was not used up, but was snatched away by a robber spirit...

So, what is the concept of ten drops of water?

Even if the energy required to advance from the second rank to the first rank was huge and exaggerated... she, Xia Changsheng, was not afraid to set a flag and just said it firmly.

——Tomorrow morning, there will be one more first-class warrior in Tushan!

Yes, that's how confident you are.

It was not yet time, but Shengsheng's heart had already drifted back home. His mind was full of thoughts on how to quickly break the silver cord in his body so that this soul could be truly liberated and free.

"Xiaoyu! Xiaoyu!"

“Xiaoyu——!”

Just as the girl was happily thinking about her own things, a panicked and urgent shout reached her ears, breaking the silence of the slave area.

The voice was not unfamiliar; it was Xiao Liuzi's old and hoarse voice.

Xia Li broke away from his own world of thoughts and paid attention to the noisy place...

When she looked up.

There was already a commotion over there, and an old woman was the most excited. She shouted loudly through the cell door. The target of her shouting was a middle-aged woman covered in blood.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman was placed in front of the third-grade prison cell, and medical staff were treating her injuries.

but.

The situation is not optimistic, and the opponent's breath is getting weaker and weaker.

The old woman seemed to want to wake him up. Her voice was trembling violently, unable to suppress the fear and anxiety in her heart.

"I never thought that Aunt Yu would pass away before Old Lady Xia."

"...They are called master and apprentice, but they are like mother and daughter. This time, the blow to Old Lady Xia is particularly heavy. If she is drawn again in the next round, I am afraid she will not survive."

"Hey! Old Xia and A Yu are role models for warriors like us who have lost our freedom... When I was captured by the thief, I felt hopeless. I am not afraid of being embarrassed to say it out loud, but I was ready to end my life."

Xia Liu and the middle-aged woman were the two people who had lived the longest in the training ground of Renwang City.

Since being captured forty years ago, he has remained strong until now.

It can be said.

Their existence encouraged many warriors who had just been captured and were desperate. For example, the strong man who called himself "I" wanted to commit suicide but he persisted after he had a goal. Now he has persisted in the slave area for fifteen years.

There are many warrior slaves like him...

Xia Liu's strength is not top-notch, only second-grade. But she is a legend in the training ground.

Not only did she live a long life herself, she also selflessly shared her experience in surviving, telling warriors not to rush for a breakthrough and advancement, but to consolidate their foundations... and only consider upgrading after their foundations have been consolidated to the point where there is really no room for improvement, at all.

It is best to suppress it and not increase it.

Of course, each warrior has a different temperament and aptitude, and some people just can't hold back or can't afford to hide. They still lose their lives one after another.

The only ones who can perfectly implement this policy are Old Lady Xia and her apprentice, Liu Yu.

One of them is of the second rank and the other is of the third rank.

I have been living in this training ground for forty years!

"Well, this should be the girl that Xiaoliu rescued that year..."

After hearing the discussions around him, Shengsheng slowly became certain.

It was because of these two sisters that Xia Liu finally failed to follow the instructions of Tool Flower and exposed her identity. Sheng Sheng didn't blame her for this...but, in between.

One can also see the impact that incident had on Xia Liu.

Xia Liu probably transferred all his guilt for his hesitation and failure to save his sister in time onto his sister, so his emotions were very strong.

Someone just said it well, a non-biological child is better than a biological one!

"Oh no! His breathing is intermittent, Yu is almost dying."

"This kind of injury cannot be cured by medical staff..."

really.

As soon as the other person finished speaking, the medical staff in the slave area shook his head, indicating that he was helpless.

Due to the order of the city lord, the warrior slaves of Niou Castle, especially those of the top three grades, are extremely treasured... If the doctor successfully saves one, he will also receive a generous reward.

He had tried hard before, but the injury was so severe that he really couldn't cure it!

"It's hopeless. Notify the guards."

The medical staff shook their heads and felt a little depressed. If they could save him, they wouldn't have to worry about the resources for cultivation for at least three months.

The dead warriors have their hearts dug out, and the guard team is also responsible for this. What he said means that there is absolutely no hope of recovery.

but.

The same words and similar scenes suddenly reminded many warriors of the scene that happened more than ten days ago...

Many people turned their eyes to a caregiver standing far away.
