In the gloomy dungeon, the man with his cape was tied to his limbs and hung on the wall, and his body was covered in blood, making it impossible to tell where the wound was and where the blood was snaking down.

Outside the cage were several graceful women, led by the woman with a curtain away, blocking the whole face, but she could still feel it, her eyes were firmly fixed on the man in the prison.

She looked intent, listening to his heavy breathing in the cage, each longer and weaker. The woman's palms tightened: "Go in, take blood." As soon as she spoke, her voice was hoarse and rough, like that of a ninety old woman.

"Sect Leader......" The woman behind her hesitated a little, "I have already taken blood today." The next blood collection should wait until noon tomorrow......"

Before the words fell, there was a "snap", and the woman known as the sect leader slapped the maid with her backhand.

"Can't you see he's dying tonight?" The eyes behind the curtain stared coldly at the maid who was beaten to the ground, "By noon tomorrow, do you want me to give up all my efforts?" โ€

After a while, the maid covered her face and began to wail, and the cry gradually became louder, and she rolled on the ground in pain, and when the movement slowly stopped, everyone could see clearly that most of the place on her face had been rotten by the woman, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and the white bones were horribly exposed.

She screamed miserably, and finally the hand covering her face finally fell, and she lay on the ground, her eyes propped up, and she was no longer breathing.

"Do any of you have anything to say?"

The women behind him were silent. They silently cleaned their hands, opened the prison door, and entered the cage.

One person opened a golden brocade box, and in the box, a worm resembling a silkworm writhed in it. One wiped the blood near the man's heart, and the other took a golden knife from the side, cut a small hole in the man's heart, and fresh blood flowed out. The insects in the brocade box began to writhe wildly as if they were strongly attracted.

The maid placed the box on top of the man's heart, and the worm instantly crawled to the man's wound and began to suck his blood. It sucked extremely widely, causing its white jade-colored body to gradually turn blood-red.

Seeing that the color had become almost the same, the maid used a soft brush to brush the insects into the box. But after two brushes, the maid's face turned pale.

"Master."

Outside the cage, the woman's voice sank: "What's wrong?" โ€

"Head...... The head of the jade silkworm crawled into the wound and couldn't get out......"

The woman flew away and stepped into the cage. However, in the time of these few steps, the maid had already exclaimed again and again: "Climb in, the jade silkworm has climbed in!" โ€

When the woman walked in, there was no more jade silkworm on the man's chest.

There was silence in the prison, and the maid on the other side suddenly moved, and she looked at the man who had been tied up and had not moved for ninety-nine days. She was still stunned, when she heard someone on the other side exclaim, "His wound ......."

His wounds actually began to ...... Healed slowly......

The woman looked at the man, couldn't help but reach out and touch his chest, and then let out an irrepressible low laugh: "Success." The Gu people of this palace have finally succeeded! โ€

She smiled, and all of a sudden, the man clenched his fist, only to hear two loud "bangs", and the chain that wrapped his wrist broke in response, and the force of breaking the chain was so great that the chain was embedded in the wall behind him.

As soon as the man opened his eyes, his eyes were full of crimson, like the eyes of a beast, and his facial features were exquisite, and he looked extremely penetrating at the moment.

The woman laughed: "Good boy, good boy, today, you are the treasure of my primate!" With you, I will return to southern Xinjiang just around the corner! Before he could finish speaking, the man reached out and grabbed the woman's neck.

He pressed his palm, and the woman's face immediately turned purple.

"Loose ...... Child...... Let go...... I am your master. โ€

The man did not listen to her words, and with a flick of his arm, the woman was thrown against the wall like a puppet, and the wall was dented into a large hole.

He roared, like the roar of a beast in the middle of the night, and in an instant, blood splattered in the dungeon.

I don't know how long later, the sky is about to break, he walked out of the dungeon in a drowsy state, walked in the forest wolf bรจi, raised his head and looked into the distance, it was a slightly desolate city tower outside the Great Jin Dynasty.

The rough breath came out between his mouth and nose, and the cold of the night instantly rolled his breath into a soft white mist, and then it was knocked away by himself.

Step by step, he walked blindly forward, and the light of the waning moon in the sky sprinkled on him through the dead branches in the forest, shining on his sticky crimson. On his โ–กโ–ก chest there was a bright red mark that climbed up like a flame, extending to his neck, cheeks, and not stopping until the corner of his left eye.

There seemed to be a pain in his heart that was so intense that it almost tore his soul apart.

He clenched his teeth and looked pained.

Stepping out of the woods, with no trees to support him, he slipped and rolled straight down the slope.

The cold dawn was the coldest, he lay alone on the wasteland with his eyes closed, the withered grass was frosty, and he felt the muscles of his body begin to tremble, little by little, inch by inch, the pain of the bones in his body being crushed.

The inside of his body seemed to be crushed by rocks, and his bones made a "gurgling" sound, and his tall figure slowly shrunk until he finally ......

Completely turned into a child.

The light of the morning sun passed over the distant mountains and sprinkled obliquely on the desolate land of Saibei.

Suddenly, I heard someone coming from afar with a horse, and the horse's hooves trampled the earth, and with the breath of iron and blood, they traveled to this direction in an instant. He closed his eyes, not to pretend, but because he really didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.

"General......" a rugged male voice called, "look, there seems to be a child there." โ€

The horse's hooves stepped lightly, stopped at his side, someone turned over and dismounted, from instinct, he wanted to confirm whether the person was harmful, he tried his best to open his eyes, but in the backlight he saw the close-fitting red and silver armor outlining the thin outline of a woman.

A Female ...... Checkmate?

After this glance, he was no longer able to breathe, and his eyes were closed again.

There were two other ironclad men behind the woman, and the deputy general Luo Teng was a little surprised when he saw the child: "Ouch! This kid is covered in blood! It's terrifying! โ€

The other lieutenant general, Qin Lan, was a little indifferent: "General, this kid has a mark on his chest. โ€

"The flame pattern is beautiful." With this slightly hoarse female voice, the slightly cool fingertips gently caressed the pattern on his chest.

The woman's fingertips caused a shiver, and his chest seemed to be awakened by a sleeping beast, and his heart squirmed, and in an instant, he felt that his body was very hot, his mouth was unbearably dry, and he began to smell a different taste in the air inhaled by the tip of his nose.

It is the smell of blood.

It came from the bodies of the three people in front of them, rushing out of their respective hearts, circulating in their bodies, keeping them alive.

The tip of his nose has a sharper sense of smell, and blood has an indescribable temptation for him.

Especially the blood of the woman in front of her has an indescribable fragrance......

His body was agitated, and the three people in front of him didn't know it.

"The kids look cute." The female general patted him on the face: "Pick it up." โ€

"General......" Qin Lan was helpless, "This kid is from unknown origin......"

Luo Teng was very grinning: "I heard that Chang Xirong has the custom of sacrificing people, and the weather outside the city is particularly cold and dry this year, this child may be a sacrifice they use to worship God and pray for a peaceful winter?" โ€

"How could the sacrifice be discarded here, ragged and covered in blood......

Hearing the blood word, his heart was even worse, his throat rolled, and his mouth was dry as if there was a fire.

"He seems to be thirsty, so get some water." The female general called. This was followed by the sound of the lid of the hydration bag being pulled open. She didn't pour the water into his mouth as she voiced, but carefully moistened her fingers, gently moistening his lips with the moist tips of her fingers.

The water was tasteless, but it had a strange deadly fragrance on her fingertips.

There was the smell of her and the smell of blood.

When her fingers left his lips for the first time, he was robbed of the flesh from his mouth, and his manic and cruel feelings were almost uncontrollable. So when the woman's finger smeared his lips for the second time, he almost couldn't control his mouth and bit her finger viciously.

The flesh of her index finger cracked, her teeth sank between her flesh, and the smell of blood spread throughout her mouth.

The female general was in pain, took a low breath of cold air, and subconsciously pumped her fingers back. But he refused to let go, his throat rolled, and he almost gobbled up the blood oozing from his fingertips into his stomach.

The smell of blood filled his mouth, his stomach warmed as if it had been set on fire, and then the flames burned to his heart, burning the tip of his heart and stabbing his whole heart beating wildly.

"General!" Seeing this, the two men hurriedly stepped forward, and one of them pinched his jaw hard, and he resisted to death.

Another scolded in a rough voice: "Little bastard with a wolf's heart and dog's lungs." Look at Lao Tzu if you don't take off your chin! Qin Lan, let go, let me come! The rough big hand pinched his chin, but the woman shouted softly: "Luo Teng! โ€

Luo Teng's action was stopped, but he didn't let go, but said extremely angrily: "General! This king of eight lambs bites you! โ€

"Didn't I know he bit me?" The woman reprimanded, and opened his hand with some disgust, her fingers were much thinner than the man's, but when she pinched his jaw joints with these two fingers, he felt his cheeks sore, and he could no longer lock his teeth.

"You're going to have to crush his head." She reproached, and pulled her finger out.

But the blood that flowed out had melted into his body.

Although this little blood was far from satisfying him, the restlessness in his body seemed to be calmed by this small amount of blood.

"General." The man's voice known as Qin Lan was full of worry, "Your hand ......"

"The child's strength is just a flesh wound." He bit her, but instead of letting him go, she carried him on her shoulders and "walked away, went back to the camp." โ€

Luo Teng roared out anxiously: "General, you want to take this little wolf cub back?" โ€

Li Shuang put him on the horse: "It's just a child." She also turned on her horse, sat behind him, and held him in her arms, who looked like she was unconscious, and said in an understatement, "Didn't I look like this wolf when I was a child, and was picked up by Daddy." โ€

As soon as this statement came out, no one stopped it.
