The light here was dim, and soon it fell into complete darkness. Coupled with the roar of beasts in the surrounding mountains and forests, it was even more creepy.
After leaving more than a dozen of them in the stone house, no one came, but they still felt that many eyes were staring at them, so no one dared to run out and mess around.
Gu Yao and Chi Changye continued to use the spirit stone to meditate and practice. The spiritual energy here was very bad. Gu Yao sent the kitten into the space to prevent anyone from discovering its existence, and did not let it out to inquire about the situation that night. He always felt that something unusual would happen on this first night.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew into the stone house, and even the formation could not block it. When the monk who had been alert felt something was wrong, he could no longer mobilize the spiritual power in his body. He struggled for a few seconds and then fell down.
Soon, Gu Yan, whom Gu Yao had seen during the day, appeared outside the stone house again, followed by many black-robed people. In the pitch-black night, they were like evil spirits.
Gu Yan waved his hand and said, "Take them all away. All the storage bags on them are given to you."
"Thank you, Manager Gu!"
After the black-robed monk bowed respectfully, he entered each stone house, dragged the people out one by one, and roughly pulled off their storage bags. He also searched their bodies to check if there were other hidden storage magic tools.
"Let's go." Gu Yan saw that the number of people was correct, waved his hand and released a flying magic tool. The black-robed monk sent all these people up, and then boarded the magic tool together and flew away from this place.
After dawn, they arrived at the other side of this endless forest. There were countless beasts and birds in the forest, but they did not attack the flying magic tool. The journey was smooth.
This place was much emptier, but filled with a strong smell of blood, as if even the surrounding forests were stained with blood. There were also rows of stone houses connected together. Screams and roars similar to those of wild beasts came from some of the stone houses. Gu Yan turned a deaf ear to them and said respectfully to the thin monk who walked out of one of the stone houses: "Uncle Master, the people are here. There are thirteen people in total. They are all foundation-building monks. Their strength is in the late stage and great success. They should be more durable than the previous batch sent."
"Very good, good, send them to Group A first. The more frightened they are, the better. If they want to survive, they must kill other test subjects. We need test subjects of better quality, otherwise the survival rate will be too low." The thin monk's voice was very sharp. "Yes, Uncle Master, I will send them to Group A now."
Gu Yan waved his hand, and those black-robed men carried one or two people in their hands and followed him in a certain direction. Soon after arriving at a certain place, Gu Yan took out a token and injected a spiritual power. Then the place was torn apart, and a huge sinkhole appeared.
Those black-robed men stuffed a pill into the mouths of the captured people, and then threw them down.
After doing all this, Gu Yan restored the tiankeng, the token returned to his hand, waved his hand, and the black-robed man left with him.
During the falling process, two of them suddenly opened their eyes, spit out the pills wrapped in spiritual power in their mouths, and quickly took a detoxification pill. They were Gu Yao and Chi Changye.
The two of them originally held detoxification pills to prevent the situation at night, so the poisonous smoke that suppressed the operation of spiritual power did not have much effect on them. However, in order not to make a fuss, the two of them, like the others, let the black-robed man do what he wanted.
The storage bags they carried with them only contained some daily necessities, which was completely in line with their status as casual cultivators. All items beyond their status were sent to Gu Yao's space, so Chi Chang Ye had to get even the detoxification pills from Gu Yao.
Before the two of them landed on the ground, their figures flashed in the air and disappeared. There was a bang behind them, and they all woke up at this time. Screams and questions soon rang out, but soon there were punches and kicks, and the angry questions became weaker and weaker, until everyone lost their resistance and was dragged away.
Li Changhui got up from the ground with great difficulty. Not long ago, he was still imagining the situation of becoming a errand disciple of Changxian Sect, but now he was in this situation. Not only could his spiritual power not be used, but he was also beaten up and hurt all over. What frightened him even more was that he had no idea where he was now and what the purpose of the person who sent them here was.
He and the others were now locked in an iron cage, and none of them were intact. Originally, such injuries could be solved with a simple rejuvenation pill, but all their belongings were gone, leaving only their clothes.
"Hey, where are we competing for? What does Changxianmen want to do?"
"Damn it, I shouldn't have coveted the menial disciples of Changxianmen. Now I have ended up competing in such a hellish place."
"It seems that two people are missing, Li Changhui, it seems that the two Lu brothers who always stay with you are missing. Are they not with us?"
Li Changzhen looked around quickly, and sure enough, he didn't see the Lu brothers. He coughed and said in a hoarse voice: "I don't know, I am so confused and dazed that I can't pay attention to other situations."
"They...will be alright, right?"
Li Changhui leaned against the wall and said, "You said they are in league with Changxianmen? Impossible, they have no reason to lie to us like this. I hope someone hasn't ended up like us, then we still have a glimmer of hope."
The others were silent too. Since they couldn't use their spiritual power now, could they really escape from such a place? They didn't even know where to run after they got out. Now it seemed that there was no way for them to leave unless someone outside came to rescue them.
After a while, someone said, "No one can hear what we are saying, right?"
Li Changhui climbed up with difficulty, looked outside the iron cage, turned around and said, "Probably not. There is no need for us to keep an eye on it in this situation, and there are many iron cages like this outside. I suspect the ones inside are monks who were captured like us. I don't know what they are going to use us for."
Li Changhui looked upwards. They woke up after falling down, but now they couldn't see the sky from above, so they should be in the underground space now. Even if they could use their spiritual power, they might not be able to escape from above.
At this time, he hoped that the Lu brothers had not ended up here, but had escaped after finding something wrong. He hoped that they could expose the situation here and bring the monks outside to rescue them. Otherwise, he had a hunch that they would never be able to get out and would die here. When they arrived here, Gu Yao and Chi Changye's feeling of being stared at disappeared. They also put on seventh-grade invisibility talismans. Gu Yao then dared to release the kitten and let it pay attention to the surrounding situation. Then he asked Xu Chen in the space. Gu Yao had communicated with Xu Chen before being teleported. This time, Xu Chen might be needed to help.
"Senior, have you found anything?"
Chi Changye looked around cautiously. His consciousness was suppressed here, and the range he could explore was much smaller, but it was enough to see the iron cage and the monks or former monks who looked like neither human nor ghosts. His pupils shrank.
"What is going on here..." Xu Chen said hesitantly, "Could it be the human body experiment you mentioned?"
Before being thrown down, Gu Yao and Chi Changye did not dare to use their spiritual sense to check for people, but they both heard the sound coming from the stone house. Xu Chen naturally heard it too. Considering the words of the skinny old man and the scene here, Xu Chen's heart couldn't help but tremble. What is the righteous path and what is the evil path? In fact, sometimes it is not so clear at all. The righteous people will do anything to pursue power, and they may even be more evil than the evil people.
Gu Yao sighed, "I also think it is very likely. Considering what I heard from the Silver Wolf Clan leader before and the situation here, the powerful but weird cultivator mentioned by the Silver Clan leader might have come out of a place like this."
"You two should be careful. Don't let yourself get stuck here. It's not worth it." Xu Chen reminded, "Call me if you need me. I'll always be watching."
"Well, thank you, senior. "
"Thank you, senior Xu." Chi Changye also replied, and then sent a message to Gu Yao, "We'd better find a way to change our identities."
"Well, that's good." Otherwise, it would not be a good idea to hide in the dark all the time. It would be better to have an open identity to understand more about the situation. At this time, the cat cub also came back and led the way for them. The two of them and the beast moved towards somewhere in this underground space.
The underground space was divided into two parts, both of which were extremely empty, with a long corridor in the middle. The two walked without touching the ground and made no sound. When they were almost at the end of the corridor, they heard all kinds of noises coming from the other side. Compared with the previous side, it was a completely different world. They did not dare to send their consciousness too far, but they saw a room full of naked men and women rolling around together. They had no sense of shame at all, as if they were indulgently enjoying their last moments of pleasure.
Xu Chen's voice rang in their minds: "The highest level of cultivation here is only at the early stage of Golden Core. Maybe this is not the most important place. It's a good opportunity for you to sneak in. Go forward. The room on the right of the fifth intersection has two single cultivators."
Gu Yao ignored those eye-catching places and went to the room with Chi Changye as Xu Chen said. When he saw the scene inside, he couldn't help blushing. He wondered if Xu Chen did it on purpose, because all he had seen before were men and women roaming together, but here, there were two men roaming together and they were very immersed in it. One of them was a cultivator who had reached the Great Accomplishment of the Foundation Establishment Stage. The person he was suppressing didn't have a high level of cultivation, but he had a delicate and tender appearance.
But these are not the most important things now. Gu Yao took a deep breath and rushed in with Chi Changye decisively. His consciousness gushed out, and the two monks fainted before they could react.
