"And what if she's unfortunate enough not to submit?"

"Unfortunate?!"

Youruo got up, and walked slowly to Xing'er with heavy eyes. Hooked lips smiled and reached out to comb the few strands of ink scattered on her shoulders before asking, "You... Want to know?"

After a pause, Xing'er changed her stunned expression for a moment, and asked calmly, "If I said I wanted to know, would you tell me?"

Youruo lowered her face and pretended to be serious and scared: "Xing'er, curiosity will kill you." ”

"Hehe..."

Xing'er was not frightened, but put on a nonchalant look, and said playfully: "Then you can satisfy my curiosity." ”

"I really like your temperament. With a smile, he turned his fingers into an enchantment and surrounded Ruan Guan, and then said, "Come with me." ”

Xing'er was stunned, pointed at Ruan Guan, and said puzzledly: "Aren't we waiting here for her to wake up?"

"If she could wake up, I'd get the news. ”

After speaking, Youruo walked to the stone wall behind him and pressed a stone on it. 'Boom', I saw that the stone wall suddenly separated, revealing a secret passage.

Youruo looked sideways at Xing'er, who was still standing in place, and urged: "Why are you still stunned, hurry up." ”

The palm of his hand was on fire, and there was finally a glimmer of light in the cold and dark secret passage. With the faint light, Youruo led the apricot slowly forward.

The two of them walked for less than half a moment before they saw a white light faintly shining in front of the narrow and deep secret passage.

Yu Ruo stopped, and said to the person behind him: "Xing'er, you come over a little, there is a very narrow road in front..."

When Xing'er heard this, she hurriedly took two steps and followed closely behind Youruo.

Sure enough, the next stretch of the road was only a man's width away, and the ground was slippery and full of raised gravel. If you don't rely on the flame in the palm of your hand to see the road, you are likely to fall and eat.

The wind howls and pours into the narrow passages. The cold wind was biting into the bones, and it was mixed with a disgusting smell.

After walking the narrow road, the smell became stronger.

The pungent rancid smell rushed to the wind, making Xing'er subconsciously raise her sleeves to cover her mouth and nose, frowning and asking, "Why is it so stinky here?"

The light cast in the distance was enough to make people see the road under their feet, and the flame in his palm was extinguished, and he turned his head sideways and sneered: "Why, I can't stand this little bit? ”

In fact, this question, Youruo doesn't really want to hear the answer.

However, Xing'er heard the obvious mockery and retorted, "Who said I couldn't stand it?!"

Hearing this, he just sneered, didn't say anything more, and continued to stride forward.

I rubbed my chest a few times to suppress the churning in my stomach. Apricot was heartbroken, and trotted to follow.

As the point of light gets bigger and brighter. Standing at the end, the eyes suddenly opened up.

The dazzling white light made Apricot squint her eyes uncomfortably, and after adjusting for a while, she looked around again.

In the distance, there was a vast expanse of white mountains, pine forests, everything was covered with a thick layer of snow. At this time, it was located in a huge cave.

The black cloak was blown by the cold wind, and Yuruo, who was standing on the edge, looked back, only to see Xing'er looking around with a wary face.

"Xing'er, don't look at it, come to me. ”

The wandering gaze suddenly fixed with the call, and after a moment's hesitation, Apricot still walked towards the edge of the cave.

When I walked in, I realized that the bottom of the cave was a deep pit that went down vertically. And the strong rancid smell seemed to be coming up from below.

Xing'er raised her hand and fanned the tip of her nose, frowned and asked, "What the hell is this place down here?"

"Dead man's heap!"

With that, Youruo picked up a piece of gravel under his feet and threw it down.

The stone fell suddenly, setting off a burst of hoarse chirps. Immediately afterward, I saw countless crows flying up from below. The crows fluttered their huge black wings and hovered outside the cave, so dense that they blocked the light in front of them like a large black cloud.

Apricot swallowed and carefully walked to the edge again. When she saw what was going on below, her stomach suddenly turned upside down. His feet went limp, he leaned against the wall of the cave, and he retched uncontrollably.

(b)

Hundreds of vaguely decomposed corpses were piled on top of each other to form a huge pile of dead people. The whole land was covered with white bones mixed with dark red blood, and the stench of rotting flesh was disgusting.

Flocks of crows covered the pile of corpses, nibbling and flapping their wings excitedly. They tore at each other's flesh, and one by one they couldn't wait to swallow into their stomachs.

Xing'er tried to keep herself calm, and asked, "These people, are they in the water realm..."

"Not bad!"

didn't wait for Xing'er to half-swallow and half-spit out, Youruo replied to her directly.

Xing'er was not confused, "Didn't you kill these people just to use them as puppet soldiers, why are you throwing their bodies here now?"

"It's all useless remnants, they can't be puppets, and they use it to feed these crows, which can be regarded as their greatest value. Yuruo leisurely played with his fingers, and replied very indifferently.

She can stand it, and when she wakes up, she is a puppet. Conversely, if it is devoured, throw the remaining bones farther away. ’

Suddenly thinking of what Chihua said yesterday, Xing'er's eyes flashed, and she guessed: "Could it be that they are all abandoned sons who can't absorb resentment after death and can't be puppet soldiers?"

"Foundling, you're right. Youruo is very satisfied with the adjective Apricot.

"The uselessness here is far more than in the underground palace several times, isn't it half the effort for you to do this?"

"Half the effort?!" Youruo stretched out her voice, leaned against the cave wall with her sleeves, and sneered: "How did I know that there would be so many useless people? But after all, they were just ordinary people in their lifetimes, and they didn't have any martial arts foundation. There are naturally not many who can withstand a wisp of evil power. ”

Xing'er shook her head helplessly, "Even if you only inject half of the resentment evil power into them, the bone-eating pain is enough for them to bear." ”

You Ruo'e raised her eyebrows, and said unashamedly: "People have already died, even if they eat bones and cut flesh, where will they still be conscious." ”

"You're right!"

Apricot whispered, but the hands hidden in the wide sleeves were already shaking a little. After she squinted at the black crow hovering in the air, she urged Youruo: "It's too stinky here, let's go back." ”

After finishing speaking, she didn't hesitate at all, and immediately turned around. But just when I started and wanted to go back, I heard that Youruo called me again.

"Apricot!"

Xing'er let go of her clenched hands, but when she turned around, she suddenly found that Youruo had teleported in front of her at this time. Her body trembled unconsciously, and her eyes fell directly into her brown eyes full of cold light.

Pursing her slightly dry lips, Xing'er pretended to be natural and asked, "What's wrong?"

Youruo put a hand on her shoulder, leaned over her and leaned closer to her, and said with a wicked smile: "Are you in such a hurry to leave?

Xing'er glanced sideways at the hand on her shoulder, smiled and raised her hand to fan the wind, explaining, "Didn't I just say that? It stinks so badly here, I smell uncomfortable." ”

"Oh... That's it..."Youruo put on a clear look, straightened up with a smile, but asked with a slight sarcasm between the words: "Then what else do you want to know besides these?"

As she spoke, her hand secretly exerted some strength again.

The sudden pain on her shoulder made Xing'er frown, and she sneered: "You are so hard, it doesn't look like you want to rub my shoulder, right?"

Youruo pouted: "How do I think you... Big problem?"

Xing'er asked coldly, "What do you mean by that?"

Hearing this, Youruo pursed her lips and didn't say anything, just stared at her stunned. It looked like he really wanted to see through the person in front of him.

Except for the smoky rancid smell in the air, it was surprisingly quiet. The two of them maintained this posture and stalemate for a while.

Xing'er began to feel nervous from the bottom of her heart, but she had to be calm and continued to ask: "You look like this, but it makes me feel that you don't believe me?"

Hearing this, Youruo was first stunned, then laughed a few times, and said, "I'm just joking, don't take it seriously..."

Then, she lightened her hand, patted Xing'er's shoulder meaningfully, and approached her ear, her voice was almost extremely light, "How could I not believe you?"

Xing'er took half a step back, rubbed her shoulders, and said, "That's the best." ”

With a froze palm in mid-air, Youruo once again condensed the guiding flame. When he crossed the apricot, he stopped at his feet and commanded with his head sideways: "In the past few days, you should prepare well." After I report to the Emperor of the Underworld, you will go to Yanqing Mountain. ”
