Everyone suffers, and the world is full of suffering. All scheme in a myriad of ways just to find a way out.
Until that night thousands of years ago, a blood-red star fell from the sky. Insta...
People can't leave here
Lin Li could finally feel free to try things that he had not been able to try before.
She took out a spirit rope and tied it around the neck of a captured ghost. She wanted to see where these ghosts came from!
In the darkness, she found a space crack and walked into it with her junior brother.
She was very happy, she felt like she had found hope of leaving this damn place.
But what she didn't know was that the junior fellow student behind her clenched his fists as he stepped into the space crack, his nails digging deep into his flesh:
"How hateful and disgusting! She had clearly found a way to leave, but she still had to kill everyone!!!"
The junior brother gritted his teeth in hatred: "Master, Master, why did you let her join our team? Are you so willing to let nineteen of us die for Lin Li? We are all disciples of the same sect, why are you so partial? If you don't like us brothers and sisters, just drive us away. Why give us to Lin Li to kill for fun! Aren't we your disciples?!"
The junior brother was filled with grief and indignation: "Senior brothers and sisters, look at this selfish devil, she actually hurt you like this! Do you regret it, regret teaming up with this person... Junior brother, I regret it so much, I know that even if I humble myself and work like a slave for Lin Li, she will never let me go-"
"My fellow brothers and sisters, you've all been killed, and I have no face to live on—let me, your junior brother, risk my life to drag Lin Li along on this journey!"
"For eternity, we brothers and sisters will fight this devil Lin Li to the death!!!"
When he stepped into the darkness and saw the dense green ghost lights gathered like a hedge, he knew his chance had come.
When the young man's slender body hit Lin Li's back, he burst out with unprecedented ferocity and strength, and the dagger in his hand pierced into Lin Li's back without hesitation!
Lin Li had been dull for so many years, and for the first time she felt surprised - she didn't often interact with people, and didn't know that human hearts have always been the most evil, and she didn't know that someone could pretend for so long just for this outburst.
But the combat awareness she had accumulated over the years allowed her to catch the escaping boy.
As Lin Li fell, she grabbed the boy's arms tightly. The boy struggled in panic, hitting her with his legs and hands.
How could Lin Li let him go? !
How could Lin Li possibly accept this?!
She is a prodigy, not the prodigy that the Sect Leader talks about, but the prodigy that everyone in the world envies and envies when she travels with just one sword!!!
The two were in a stalemate.
Lin Li's eyes were full of murderous intent. He grabbed him with his left hand and slashed at his neck with a knife in his right hand!
The junior brother's head dodged in panic, and the long knife slashed across, chopping off his shoulder and severely breaking his arm -
Suddenly, screams were heard in the ice cellar.
Lin Li's eyes were bloodshot as she stared at his face, as if she wanted to see through his soul through his skin, as if she wanted to remember what the human heart of this person, who was more evil than a ghost, looked like.
She struggled to lift the long sword again—
But before her long sword fell, a sinister woman's face suddenly appeared behind the young man in front of her!
The strange woman smiled at her, then suddenly opened her mouth and bit the boy's head, twisted it back, and then shook his head and pulled it -
With his eyes wide open and his mouth opened to the extreme, the young man's face was twisted and hideous with pain. He grabbed Lin Li's arm tightly with both hands, as if he was grabbing the last straw - or desperately dragging someone to hell with him.
His struggle and torment were useless, Lin Li watched coldly.
In an instant, his head with spine was taken away by the woman.
With a head with wide-open eyes in its mouth and a long spine dripping with blood dragging on the cold ice ground, the ghost in the shape of a strange woman crawled away quickly on all fours, and in the blink of an eye, it completely merged into the depths of darkness.
Having lost the strength to pull against the enemy, Lin Li threw the limp headless corpse in his hand to the ground.
Her face was stained with blood, and the immense pain and the clear sense of life slipping away eroded her thoughts bit by bit... Her mind was blank, her pupils were vacant, and she lay on the ground in the biting cold, as if she had forgotten everything and was just crying silently.
until--
The emerald green herbs that fell out of the storage bag of the headless corpse caught her attention.
At this moment, Lin Li felt that the world was full of malice and absurdity.
This herb was the reason they came to Bai Zhou Mountain. They couldn't find it outside Bai Zhou Mountain, so they gradually went deeper and accidentally entered this ice cellar...
A pain more intense than the pain in her body tore her apart in an instant.
Lin Li gritted her teeth, she wanted to go out, she wanted to go home, she couldn’t die!!!
Lin Li's eyes turned red, and he pounced on it like a hungry wolf, snatched the emerald green herb and put it into his mouth, chewing it twice and swallowing it whole.
The blue light flickered, Lin Li felt so tired that she didn't have the strength to get up.
She lay dazed on the cold ground, waiting for her wounds to heal, but surprisingly, even when darkness fell, no ghost appeared.
She felt strange, but she didn't have the energy to think.
Until Lin Li fell asleep and woke up again without knowing when, there was still no movement around her. The woman crawling strangely in the dark seemed like just a nightmare to her, as if everything around her had always been so quiet and empty.
If she was to wake up from the dream, why couldn't she wake up to find herself already out of this strange ice cellar? Or perhaps she opened her eyes to see the sect elders laughingly saying that everything she had experienced was just an illusion of trial?
Why did this sudden light of light blue, almost white, appear in front of her eyes?
She raised her eyes and saw through the white gauze the gorgeous lantern hanging alone and out of tune with the surroundings. Lin Li lay flat on her back, her heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of her throat - she seemed to see hope of leaving.
Lin Li did not need any other magical tools to climb up the ice wall steadily. It was very easy for him to get the beautiful lotus root powder and tender green lantern.
She was inevitably irritated by the foul smell emitted by the lantern, which made her face wrinkle in disgust. She had no choice but to hold her breath and jump lightly with the lantern to the top surface of the innermost ice cellar to carefully inspect it.
Lin Li fiddled with the lantern back and forth, carefully examining every detail on it. After a moment, she couldn't help but frown again. She felt as if the stench was getting stronger and stronger...
She subconsciously raised her head and looked back...
A human face - no, a rat face - no, it was a human face that appeared behind her at some point. It had a human body, but stood upright with its knees bent like some kind of reptile, non-human animal, and just stood quietly behind Lin Li, staring at her for a long time.
Lin Li was caught off guard and startled. His relaxed nerves instantly tensed up. He turned around and grabbed the long knife and chopped it down fiercely. It was so fast that only an afterimage was left.
The ghost in front of her did not confront her head-on. Its two green lantern-like eyes flashed, and its whole body bent down and turned into a huge gray-black rat and ran away.
The long knife fell back a step and stabbed into the ice behind the rat's tail. The long knife fell one after another and cut through the ice. The huge rat ran away in an instant and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lin Li stayed in this ice cellar for a long time. She walked around the entire ice cellar with a lantern but did not see a single ghost. Even when she extinguished the lantern and tried to repeat the same trick, no ghost appeared in the long darkness.
Lin Li didn't know how much time had passed exactly, she could only judge it based on her own hunger.
So hungry, so hungry, so hungry hungry hungry hungry...
She has no more food.
She felt like a mouse, holding each piece of broken bone and grinding it with her teeth, licking the powder to satisfy her hunger. She no longer had the energy to think, and her mind was filled with only a raging hunger.
Just then, a humanoid ghost with green eyes crawled past her.
She pounced on the monster like a mad beast, letting out a low roar from her throat. She bit the monster's body with her teeth and left horrible bloody scars on it with her long nails.
When her sanity returned, she saw her fingernails breaking, and the dark green liquid on her hands rapidly turning black and turbid. She could feel the smell of shredded meat in her mouth, and before her was the remains of a ghost with half its body eaten away...
People, although they have no hesitation in killing their own kind, will feel extremely disgusted and painful after eating ghosts and monsters - Lin Li is a human being, and she is no exception.
Lin Li's whole body began to tremble violently. She felt scared and in pain. She didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
She wanted to scream, but her throat seemed to be stuck in the thick darkness and no sound came out.
She danced with joy as she ran into the space crack. Only after she reached the extremely cold new ice cellar did she remember what had happened.
Her eyes could see the cracks in space.
Suddenly, she was ecstatic like crazy.
She thought, she could leave this damn place through the space crack, she could finally leave!!!
Lin Li ran for a long time in the darkness, having lost her lantern long ago. She seemed to be following some strange intuition in her heart, and she arrived at an ice wall with a few mouse holes scattered in it.
Her usually dull face was covered with a crazy smile, and she fumbled back and forth on the ice wall obsessively.
She even tried to get into the hole, but unfortunately, she couldn't.
The scratching sound of nails rubbing against the ice echoed in the darkness, sharp and piercing, making one's scalp numb and making one want to roll on the ground in agony holding their head...
But Lin Li seemed completely oblivious to this. He simply frantically used his two hands to desperately claw upwards into the ice wall, as if trying to grasp that unattainable freedom...
Her ten fingers finally slid down powerlessly and unwillingly, leaving a series of terrifying scratches on the ice wall, with traces of black and red blood embedded in the indentations of the scratches.
Why! ! !
Why! ! !
Lin Li felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on her head. The crazy smile froze on her face, but her eyes were filled with dead silence and desolation.
"You are a human being. You can't go out."
Silently, a human face that looked like a rat's face came close to her cheek, its nose twitching as it sniffed the scent on Lin Li's body, and it grinned evilly.
"roll!!!"
"Get out!!! Get out!!!"
Lin Li suddenly screamed and tried to retreat, but she lost her balance and fell onto the ice beside her.
"Hee, hee, hee, hee."
The humanoid ghost landed on the ground and crawled on the ice, opening its mouth and making an evil, mocking sound like a mouse.
Lin Li pounced on it and grabbed its neck with both hands, her eyes glowing slightly green. Perhaps because of extreme anger and fear, the skin on her face began to wriggle and twist.
She grabbed the ghost's neck and slammed the back of its head onto the ice floor again and again, screaming:
"Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out—"
Her face was painful and distorted, she sometimes yelled "get out", sometimes screamed hysterically "let me go" -
She was no longer able to think, she seemed to be going crazy.
Lin Li used to be afraid of the darkness, and she subconsciously didn't want to make any sound in the darkness, but now, her crazy screams resounded in the ice cellar, and even the sticky darkness seemed to tremble.
The goblin in her hand alternated between a huge rat head and a human head. Even though the back of its head had been smashed and splashed with dark green liquid, it still grinned at her, mocking her:
"People can't leave here."
