Chapter 156: Hooked Snake
It was daytime when they came out of the palace, and soon they saw two wizards carrying food going to the palace to get the token, and the silver moon told the lord of the kingdom that the food should be sent to the black abyss today, and the two wizards were overjoyed when they heard it, and seemed to be afraid to go to the black abyss, and without the slightest doubt, they handed us the food in their hands.
Because there was a token in my hand all the way unimpeded, it was slowly lowered from under the wooden fence, farther and farther away from the ground, and when the light above our heads became very far away in our eyes, the wooden fence stopped at the bottom of the black abyss, and there was a faint brazier around it outlining the outline of this place, and the space under the black abyss was much larger than I imagined, and the smell of damp and bloody was coming to my face, and the mud under my feet was only clear in the faint light of the fire that it was a pool of blood all over the ground.
These should be the blood used for blood sacrifice by the slaughtering demon clan, and there are only skeleton corpses left everywhere, I clearly remember that the blood sacrifice is to push the demon clan who cut the neck down the black abyss, and it should be crushed if it falls from such a high place, but I have never seen the flesh and skin except for the white bones of the forest.
Walking along the firelit passageway, the bottom of the abyss was so large and empty that any slight sound could be heard far away, and it wasn't long before Silvermoon and I heard someone talking.
The firelight in front of me seemed to be brighter, Yinyue and I were careful not to make a sound and approached the past, in the depths of the firelight was a spacious altar, a blue-robed wizard panted and walked down from the altar with a helpless expression, he held a stiff snake in his hand, and threw it on the ground casually, Yinyue and I saw that there were many such dead snakes.
Yinyue whispered in my ear and told me that the wizard was Wu Luo, who was in charge of punishment in the Lingshan Kingdom, and the stone platform next to him was messily filled with all kinds of knives and torture tools, each of which was stained with blood, which must have been used by Wu Luo, and there was a cage next to the torture instrument, which was full of colorful and strangely shaped snakes, and the snake's tail was forked with two hooks of flesh thorns, and the scale armor on his body was also like the curved spines of a fish hook.
"In one day, you see him like this, and he will tell the whereabouts of the twelve golden people in one day?" Wu Luo put on a thick demon skin wrapped around his hands, it seemed that he was also very taboo about the snake in this cage, carefully picked one up, the snake kept squirming in his hand, and the open mouth was full of fangs, and then turned to look at the witch girl and said a little weakly. "I've used all the criminal laws, but he hasn't said a word since he was imprisoned here."
"You...... You hooked the snake against him?! The witch girl stared at the snake in Wu Luo's hand and asked in shock, her voice revealing a trace of remorseful guilt.
"All the punishments of Lingshan are of no use to him at all, I can only use the hooked snake." Wu Luo replied in an eerie voice. "I don't know how his heart is different from ours, even though I haven't heard him sound with this hooked snake until now."
I felt Yinyue's hand tremble, and when I looked back and saw her with a surprised and heartache, I said to me in a very low voice, the hooked snake is a fierce beast, don't look big, but the hunting methods are extremely cruel, the monster that is pounced on by the hooked snake will be bitten out of a hole in the body by the sharp teeth of the hooked snake, and the hooked snake will drill into the monster's body from this hole, because the hooked snake has barbed scales, once it enters, it can no longer be pulled out, and the hooked snake will begin to bite and devour in the demon object, until it comes out from another place.
"I put the hooked snake in his body for a day every day, watch the hooked snake bite and eat in his body, until his life hangs by a thread, and then take out the hooked snake, such torture is difficult for even the hard-mouthed person to bear the heart-rending pain, but you look at how many hooked snakes I use." Wu Luo pointed to the hooked snake next to him that he had dug out of Wu Xian's body and said to Wu Luo. "Fortunately, there is a witch pill that can restore his flesh and blood, and torture him like this every day, if he said it a long time ago, I advise you not to get your hopes up in one day."
Wu Luo said as he grabbed the hooked snake and walked towards the altar, Yinyue and I saw Wu Xian on the altar who was locked with iron chains piercing his limbs, and he should be afraid of Wu Xian's witchcraft, even if the ten witches of Lingshan worked together to subdue Wu Xian, they did not dare to slack off, for fear that Wu Xian would escape, so they used such a terrible torture instrument to lock him here.
Wu Xian's body was full of injuries, and there was not a single intact place on his body, and there were blood stains all under his body, as well as blood dripping from his body, and only two holes with black blood were left in his two eyes now.
He ...... What about his eyes? The witch asked in shock.
"Eyes ......," Wu Luo looked at Wu Xian, turned back to Wu Xian, and said in a low voice. Since locking him here, I have been using various punishments to force him to tell him the whereabouts of the Twelve Golden Men day and night, but he has not said a word, and has been staring at me deadly, and I have been distraught by those eyes, so I ......"
Yinyue and I were secretly shocked in our hearts, I could feel Yinyue's anger and anger at the moment, Wu Luo should not have dared to look directly into Wu Xian's eyes in the process of questioning him, and he actually gouged out Wu Xian's eyes alive.
"Who told you to hurt his eyes!" The witch suddenly rebuked loudly in a rage, and I saw the witch's hand twitch inadvertently.
"Wu Lang said that no matter what method I use, no matter what, I must learn the whereabouts of the Twelve Golden People from his mouth, and you were also present at the time, why did you ask me today?" Wu Luo replied disapprovingly.
"I only agree with you to ask him, I never allowed you to do this to him!" The witch's voice was flustered and hurried.
"Allowed? You don't allow it? Wu Luo turned and walked down from the altar with the hooked snake, and stood in front of the witch and said in a mocking tone. You really think that you are the lord of Lingshan Country, and if you don't allow me, you can't do it? If you really have such a right, you won't come here, don't forget that the only person who can say what is allowed and not allowed in Lingshan is that person now, you are still the lord of the country today, it doesn't mean that you will still be tomorrow, maybe the next person to be locked here is me, or you ......"
Wu Luo lifted the hooked snake in his hand, the creepy monster squirmed with a colorful body that was terrifying, and said coldly to the witch girl in an accentuated tone.
"The reason why we are still the Ten Witches of Lingshan is just because we have to be useful to that person, once we lose our value, what do you think will happen, don't care about the others, take care of yourself, I can't ask the whereabouts of the twelve golden people from his mouth, you and I still have a chance to get out of the bottom of this black abyss?"
"Don't you know what kind of character he is, don't say it's this hooked snake, you just use the cruel punishment on him, as long as he doesn't want to say something, he will definitely not spit out half a word." The witch girl stared at Wu Luo angrily and said sternly. "Let me ask him if there might be a turnaround."
Wu Luo smiled coldly and did not stop it, put the hooked snake back in the cage and took out an elixir and handed it to the witch girl, telling her that this was the medicine that Wu had prepared to make Wu Xian, who was already unconscious, wake up.
The witch girl took the medicine and walked up to the altar and gently put it into Wu Xian's mouth, and after a while, Wu Xian finally slowly woke up, and I saw the witch girl trembling and raising her hand to wipe the blood stains on Wu Xian's face in pain.
I always feel that there is a great relationship between these two people, and it is obvious that the witch girl is not willing to hurt Wu Xian, but I don't know why she will be in the same league as the other ten witches.
"Witch ......" Although the weakened Wu Xian couldn't see it, he must have guessed who was in front of him from the hand that touched his cheek.
"Hmph, sure enough, you still have a way, a hundred kinds of torture didn't make him squeak, and you were able to make him open his mouth as soon as you came." Wu Luo sneered beside him, looking dismissive.
"Why are you so troubled, the Ten Witches of Lingshan have always been headed by you, everything we do is also to make Lingshan rise in the demon world, and you will still be the lord of the country at that time, no! You are the demon emperor who can sit in the demon world, as long as you tell the whereabouts of the twelve golden people, from now on our Lingshan Ten Witches will no longer have to commit to others, is it not as good as a guard in your heart to be a demon emperor? The witch girl wiped the blood stains on Wu Xian's face in pain, and said bitterly.
"Under the rule of the Demon Emperor, there is no dispute and slaughter among all races in the demon world, because there has never been greed and desire in the demon world, in order to sit in the demon world, he does not hesitate to kill the demon clan, and his hands are stained with the blood of the same clan, even if he becomes the demon emperor, what can he do, and since then the demon world has been in constant dispute." Even if Wu Xian was tortured and mutilated like this, he didn't seem to have any complaints about Wu Gu, and said righteously.
"Everything we do is to make the Lingshan Wu Clan rise in the demon world, we have never thought of rebelling and disobeying you, you will always be the lord of Lingshan, the future demon emperor, why do you still insist on refusing to tell the whereabouts of the twelve golden people." The witch asked anxiously.
"I'm blind, but my heart is not blind, I think you should also understand by now, this Lingshan is still not the Lingshan of our witch clan, when the demon emperor was there, we were still respected by the ten witches of Lingshan who were respected by various demon clans, but now you see that you are forgetting your righteousness and helping to abuse and kill your fellow clan, and you have long been notorious in the demon world, and sooner or later you will become the target of public criticism, even if you can really sit on the demon world, you will always be just a puppet controlled by others, you have lost not only fame and power, but the glory of the ten witches of Lingshan." Wu Xian was covered in bruises, and even speaking seemed to be difficult.
"Now that the west of the demon world has been conquered, and the army will march east in ten days, you should know very well that there is no demon energy of the divine tree, no demon clan can resist the army, and it is a matter of time before this demon world is conquered, even if you refuse to tell the whereabouts of the twelve golden people, you can't change any result." The witch was anxious and persuaded with great anxiety.
"Shenmu doesn't have demonic energy?" Wu Xian suddenly raised his head, and the two dark eye holes were facing Wu Gu. "You actually destroyed the Divine Tree? That's what the entire demon world depends on for survival, once something happens to the Shenmu, the entire demon world will be in danger, how many demon clans will die and decline because of this, can you really be at ease?! ”
"We didn't think about killing them all, the entrance to the demon world has been opened, as long as the demon clan is willing to submit, there will naturally be a way to let it live, if it is stubborn, then only ......"
"You are simply mad, in order to satisfy your own selfish desires, you do not hesitate to put the entire demon world in danger, you have also experienced the catastrophe of gods and demons, how many demon clans died in exchange for peace, have you forgotten everything, now you have thought about the consequences of what you have done, maybe you can really sit on the demon world, but at that time, I am afraid that it is not only the matter of the demon world, but other circles will be bloody again, and the corpses will be all over the field."
