Chapter 398 Corpse Transformation Pill?
Deep in the dark and profound fox dungeon, the faint light barely outlines the cold stone walls around it.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." A series of tiny and rapid sounds broke the silence. An unusually fat mouse timidly poked its head out from the gap in the shadow, its small eyes sparkling with a desire for freedom.
However, before it could take far, an arm, pale and almost transparent, suddenly stretched out from the gap in the iron fence like a ghost and grabbed it tightly.
"squeak--!"
The mouse's whimper was sharp and short!
Then it was annihilated in the endless darkness, leaving only the heart-pounding swallowing sound, echoing in this gloomy dungeon, adding a bit of creepy atmosphere to this place without sunlight.
"Open the cell door." A low and majestic voice sounded outside the door.
"Yes, Elder."
The prison door opened, and the elder stepped into the cell, followed by two fox girls. They were dressed in simple maid clothes and had pretty faces, but they looked particularly pale because of this gloomy place.
In their hands, they also held exquisite trays with a few simple but fragrant dishes and wine on them.
As soon as they stepped into the threshold of the dark and damp cell, the two women's faces instantly turned as pale as iron, and from time to time, they made bursts of dry heaving sounds.
If they hadn't considered that the elders were still here, they probably wouldn't want to stay here for even a second!
The scene inside the cell was appalling: filth was everywhere, rat corpses were lying everywhere, and the air was filled with an indescribable stench that seemed to corrode one's will.
What made them even more frightened and disgusted was that the man curled up in the corner was holding a half-eaten mouse tightly in his hands. His eyes were flashing with greed, and he stared at them like a hungry wolf, which was creepy.
The man's voice was hoarse, with a hint of provocation and disdain, "Old man, are you here to kill me, or are you going to let me go?"
The elder looked down at the man in front of him, "The king has promised that if you can capture a woman, he will give you freedom!"
"Freedom?" the man said sarcastically. "I eat well and sleep well here, and you want to talk to me about freedom? No way!"
The elder frowned slightly, "What do you want?"
"Why, if you want to capture someone, can't you foxes do it yourselves?" The man said, then suddenly patted his dark forehead and said, "Oh, right, I almost forgot. Your foxes can barely protect yourselves right now, so how can you have the energy to capture a... woman?"
"How do you know about the Fox Clan..." The elder's face was gloomy.
He had long known that this man was very evil, so he seldom came to this dungeon, and even if he did, he would not stay here for long!
"Not only do I know your fox clan is struggling, but I also know... an eight-tailed fox has appeared in your clan," the man said, smacking his lips. "Tsk tsk, what a shame it's a man! If it were a woman, I wouldn't mind capturing her and using her as a cauldron for me!"
"How dare you!" The elder was furious and raised his hand to slap the man.
The man didn't dodge, but stared coldly at the fox elder in front of him, "Hey, let me make it clear to you first. If you want to make a move, you'd better kill me. Otherwise, when I get out, I will definitely stew all your descendants in a pot!"
The elders were shocked and angry.
But he knew that the madman in front of him was not trying to scare him. Since he said so, he would really do it!
Back then, he spent just one night to cook all the members of a branch of the fox clan into a pot!
When they arrived there, there was no intact body left.
Since then, this man has become the nightmare of the fox clan!
All the foxes thought he had been executed by the king!
Little did he know that he had been imprisoned here.
"If you want me to work for you, it depends on your sincerity." The man stared at the two little foxes behind the elder unscrupulously. "These two women are good. I haven't touched a woman in a long time. Let's keep them!"
When the two little foxes heard this, they were so scared that they became limp.
"Elder, we, we don't want to stay!"
"Yes, elder, this man is a madman!"
The elder's eyes darkened, and he was a little undecided for a moment!
Moreover, this was something the King had instructed him to do. If he couldn't even do this, how would he explain himself to the King?!
"What else do you want?"
Hearing that the elder did not refuse, the two little foxes turned pale instantly.
"Also, I want to eat, and I want to eat the best food!"
"That's no problem!" the elder agreed. "Anything else?"
The man stretched out his big hand, pulled the two little foxes into his arms, and sniffed their fragrance vigorously. "I haven't thought of the rest yet. I'll tell you when I do!"
The elder was silent for a moment, "Yes!"
The man touched her all over and asked, "Tell me, what does the person you want to arrest look like and where is he?"
The elder threw out a jade slip, "This woman must be kept alive!"
The man grabbed the jade slip and shook the chain on his wrist. "When will this thing be opened?"
The elder's lips curled up into a faint smile, and he took out a delicate porcelain bottle from his sleeve. He twisted the cap gently, and a blood-red pill appeared in his palm, emitting a faint strange luster. "Take this pill, and I will let you out now."
"Here you go again!" The man narrowed his eyes, staring at the pill for a long time, then took the pill and sniffed it. "This thing... Corpse-Dissolving Pill?"
Upon hearing this, the elder raised his chin slightly, and said with a hint of pride, "You still have some knowledge."
This corpse-dissolving pill is a poison unique to their fox clan. If the antidote is not taken within seven days, once seven days are up, one will immediately turn into a pool of corpse water!
Even those who have reached the peak of the tribulation realm are no exception!
The man swallowed it without a second thought, smacking his lips a few times as if he hadn't had enough...
The elder's face darkened.
The man held out his hand. "Can you untie it now?"
The elder snorted coldly, but still waved his hand to untie the chains on the man's hands and feet.
Without the restraints of his chains, the man simply moved his body, his limbs suddenly crackling.
The powerful energy and blood made the two little fox demons tremble.
The elder narrowed his eyes.
Although the man in front of him was powerful, he only had physical strength. Once his weakness was discovered, it would only be a matter of time before he was subdued.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" The man stared at the elder with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes.
The elder smiled and said, "You won't. Don't forget, you still have something in our hands."
The smile on the man's face gradually faded, "You can leave now! I'm not interested in your old ass!"
The elder glanced at the two trembling little fox demons and said, "You two, serve well."
"Elder, let us go!"
The elder stopped and turned to look at the two little fox demons, "Don't forget, you came here voluntarily. I never forced you..."
As the cell door was closed again.
Soon, the screams of two little fox demons were heard.
A powerful fox who was following behind the elder felt a little sorry, "Elder, if we do this, will it..."
"This man is a good swordsman!" The elder said solemnly, "For the sake of the Fox Clan, some sacrifices are inevitable!"
"What the elder said is..."
The elder walked forward a few steps, then stopped and said, "Give these two pills to them later."
"Yes, Elder."
