In the divine orifice, the dim green light shrank into a ball. Chu Tian's soul was restrained by the light and shrunk into a bean-sized figure, curled up cautiously in the light of the lamp.
Inside Chu Tian's spiritual orifice, eighteen pitch-black, centipede-shaped strange insects were crawling around with their fangs and claws bared. Occasionally, they would wave their long tentacles and spurt out wisps of black gas, fiercely cutting at the edge of Chu Tian's spiritual orifice, extracting a trace of Chu Tian's essence and blood, which was then swallowed back into their bodies by these insects.
Chu Tian concentrated his mind and looked inward. A ray of brilliance shone from the eyes of his soul as he sat cross-legged in the lamplight. He took a careful look at an insect that was approaching the bronze lamp.
The insect's body suddenly stiffened, and it raised its ugly head and looked in the direction of Chu Tian's soul. A ray of light flashed on the surface of the bronze lamp, and the insect looked around suspiciously for a while, then stepped on the wisps of black air and continued to crawl around in Chu Tian's spiritual orifice.
At a glance, Chu Tian could see clearly that these insects were clearly made up of chains of extremely fine black runes. These thin rune chains were shrouded in a layer of deep black light, and each rune was hideous, twisted, evil, and weird, full of ruthlessness and brutality, just like the dragon head and phoenix tail purple talismans on the obelisk that Chu Tian saw in Guixu.
Chu Tian gritted his teeth in anger, pulled out the cork of the wine flask that Zhao Duyan had given him, took a big gulp of the pungent liquor, and then drank all the several kilograms of liquor in the flask in one breath.
He remembered Jin Ao's inhumanly handsome yet cold and ruthless face, and he remembered Duka and Lao Mo's faces even more.
Chu Tian couldn't imagine what kind of cruel and cold heart could be used to kill tens of thousands of living people in an instant without mercy, as he looked at the golden spears of light shooting down from the sky and the tens of thousands of men being blown into blood mist in the golden rain of light!
"No, let me find a chance!" Chu Tian murmured to himself.
"Brother, listen to me... Since you have become a slave soldier, no matter what the reason is, it is better to be obedient. Don't think about struggling, don't have any unrealistic dreams, otherwise you... won't live for many days."
The one-armed man leaning against the hanging tree looked at Chu Tian, gnashing his teeth and breathing cold air, while persuading him: "Think more positively, and you won't live too hard. Hey, we've seen a lot of kids like you, but, these days, who has an easy life?"
The one-armed man sighed, and took out a pot of wine from somewhere. He drank the wine while mumbling, "Don't look at us. We are just contract soldiers of Old Black Bear. It seems that we have a much better life than you slave soldiers, but life is also difficult... We can't save a few spirit crystals in a year. Tsk tsk, my wife and children at home are waiting anxiously."
"Sometimes, I really feel that life is boring and pointless. But it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, right? Watching my child grow up day by day, the resources needed for cultivation are increasing. As a father, what should I do if I don't fight for it?"
"Work hard, there's always hope! Maybe the bastard at home will work hard and suddenly become rich? Then there'll be hope in the next life."
Hehe, the one-armed man laughed foolishly for a few times and said to Chu Tian: "From now on, we are all in the same group. When we go out to do errands, we should take care of each other. That's Zhao Duyan, I'm Wang Tiebi, you can call me Old Wangtou or Old Wang Ge."
Chu Tian didn't say anything. His face was gloomy as he thought about how to get rid of the eighteen black foreign objects in his spiritual orifice.
He wanted to find out where he was sent to, where did Ah Gou, Ah Que and the others go? More importantly, where was Chu Jie sent to?
Damn it, those 'people' who brought them out of the Six Paths Demon Sealing Barrier, what on earth were they trying to do by doing all this?
Everything is out of control, everything is beyond one's control, Chu Tian hates this feeling!
He needs power, more powerful power, enough to change his destiny, enough to dominate his own destiny, enough to dominate the destiny of others!
The light from the bronze lamp suddenly became brighter, and a layer of strange luster emanated from the inside out of the entire bronze lamp, as if it had suddenly gained a bit of spirituality.
The hurricane continued, and huge waves roared forward one after another.
Several sailboats glided lightly over the huge waves and shuttled nimbly between the thunders. They continued sailing for another day and night. Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in front of them, and loud laughter sounded on several sailboats at the same time.
The laughter of the old black bear was the loudest among them: "Haha, brothers, cubs, we are home. Wake up all the cargo in the cabin to me, Grandpa Bear. Haha, the profit this time is not small. I will give everyone two days off. Let's all go and have fun, haha!"
Inside the cabin, Zhao Duyan and several other uninjured men jumped up and hurried out of the cabin.
Chu Tian heard the heavy sound of the machine, and not far from the cabin, the sharp scolding of Zhao Duyan and others continued to come. There were cries of young men and women, accompanied by shouting, yelling, and the sharp sound of whips hitting their bodies.
Chu Tian frowned, he also left the hammock, and walked out of the cabin swaying.
Outside the cabin was a corridor that was more than ten meters long. At the end of the corridor, a square deck on the floor was lifted up, revealing a downward passage. The shouting and crying all came from that hole.
Chu Tian shook his head and walked up the stairs at one end of the corridor. He passed two cabins and finally arrived on the deck.
Chu Tian opened a hatch and half of his body stuck out of the cabin. He saw a dozen men busy on the deck. The sails of the sailboat were filled with wind, leaving a sharp white mark on the sea. It whizzed around dozens of rugged reefs, and in front of it was a huge stone peak several miles wide like a screen that suddenly appeared from behind the huge waves.
The sailboat passed the screen-like rock peak and turned behind it. The wind and waves suddenly decreased and a zigzag waterway was visible ahead. The sailboat sailed along the waterway for about ten miles and arrived at the foot of a towering cliff.
This is a deep-water port that is more than ten miles wide. The towering mountains on both sides block the waves from the sea. Thousands of sailboats of all sizes are anchored in the port. At the deepest part of the port, more than a dozen steep plank roads have been carved on the cliff, leading all the way to a huge cave in the middle of the cliff.
The old black bear who was standing on the bow and yelling suddenly turned around and grinned at Chu Tian: "Boy, I'll call you Ming Wang from now on! Hehe, welcome to Golden Tooth Island, welcome to the Old Bear Cave! Hehe, do you have any spirit crystals on you? If so, you can have a good time on the island for the next two days!"
Chu Tian glanced at the old black bear without saying a word, just looking around.
The old black bear saw through Chu Tian's thoughts and said slowly, "Don't even think about running away. No matter how far you run, as long as I make a slight stroke here, 'bang', your head will explode. I guarantee that your soul will be scattered and you will die very quickly!"
Chu Tian was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly.
