Even after Qinglong delivered the wooden fruit to the entrance of Wolf Castle, he still didn't give up trying to persuade her.

"Muguo, this is your last chance. It's not too late to beg the boss for mercy now, and you can still save your life. Once this iron gate opens, you'll have no room for regret."

After all, she was just a weak woman, and Qinglong couldn't bear to see her being torn apart by those wild beasts.

The woman stood at the door and peered inside. Although there was a door between them, she could still feel the chilling wind coming from inside, which made her shiver.

"Could you give me a dagger?"

Mu Guo looked straight at Qinglong.

Qinglong fully assumed that she was begging for mercy. After all, not many people could stand at this doorway without their legs going weak.

Besides, she's a woman!

So when he heard the woman ask him for a dagger, Qinglong couldn't help but swallow hard.

"You, you're insane! You really want to go in? You'll really die if you do! Besides, what good is a dagger in here!"

“I’m not afraid. What I’ve been through is more terrifying than death and more unbelievable than you can imagine, so nothing can scare me.”

When she said these words, the light in her eyes suddenly disappeared, like a soulless doll.

It's hard to imagine what she went through at such a young age to become so fearless, yet so heartbroken.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jinyan also saw the woman's expression as she said these words through remote monitoring.

His previously languid expression suddenly turned heavy as she looked into his eyes.

My heart felt as if it had been struck by something, so heavy that I could hardly breathe.

At the gates of Wolf's Fortress, Azure Dragon shook his head helplessly, refusing Wood Fruit's request.

"The boss doesn't allow you to bring any weapons in, not even a dagger. He just wants me to give you this."

As she spoke, a black, unidentified object appeared in the woman's hand.

"What's this?"

"This is a signal flare. If you can't hold on any longer, press this button and our people will receive the signal and rescue you. But at the same time, it means you've lost your bet with the boss and have to accept his demands."

Muguo frowned and handed the signal flare back to Qinglong.

"I won't! I won't give up!"

"Don't be stubborn. Even if you don't need it, at least keep it."

Qinglong shoved the signal flare back into Muguo's hand without a second thought, then winked at the two men guarding the door, signaling them to open it.

The door opened, and a chilling wind carrying a nauseating stench of blood swept in. An ordinary person would have already collapsed to the ground.

"Go inside. Hopefully, I'll still see your complete corpse in three days."

Muguo stepped inside, and then the door behind her closed.

This place became a purgatory isolated from the world.

She clenched her fists tightly and looked around warily.

Although it's just a wall separating them, the inside is a completely different world from the outside.

Wolf Castle was filled with towering, unidentified green plants, soft soil underfoot, and a sinister smell permeated the air.

It was getting dark, and the road surface was becoming difficult to see, but large and small footprints could still be vaguely discerned. There were even eerie rustling sounds all around.

Perhaps because they hadn't felt fresh blood for so long, the arrival of the wood fruit instantly enlivened the creatures in the Wolf Castle.

"Hiss~"

A sudden, sharp pain shot through my foot.
