It was only then that Lu Shiyuan realized that there were other caves here, a dark and dull road leading to nowhere.

In fact, he should have found out at the first time, but at that time, all his mind was affected by Ye Yao, and he didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment at all.

was made by Ye Yao. When the body sticks up, it gradually loses its mind or something, and it's really a bit of a shame to think about it after calming down......

Lu Shiyuan patted his face, and his spirit surged forward, exploring the road ahead.

When that figure arrived just now, he didn't realize it at all, the other party might have hidden his breath and figure, so he should be cautious.

It's not that he can't even perceive a mortal who has not cultivated.

There was a glimmer of light in Ye Yao's eyes: "There is light ahead." ”

Lu Shiyuan nodded.

At the end of the road, the candles flickered and the black shadows flickered, which were traces of people walking.

His spirit reached into it first.

Lu Shiyuan suddenly stopped.

Ye Yao saw him pause, and her heart couldn't help but rise: "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Shiyuan glanced at her with a complicated expression, and took another step: "There is no danger, come on." ”

What is the junior brother doing looking at me with such eyes? Isn't it an export?

Ye Yao pursed her slightly red and swollen lips, and the hope she had just given birth to was about to be extinguished by Lu Shiyuan's eyes.

"You'll find out when you come here."

Ye Yao walked in.

It was a stone room, with a few candles lit in the gaps in the walls, emitting a faint light.

It was this thin glimmer of light that reflected all the scenes in the stone chamber, a huge Dan furnace was placed in the middle of the stone chamber, almost occupying the entire space, Lu Shiyuan and Ye Yao stood at the entrance of the cave, occupying the last bit of area here. On the other side, in the dark corner where the candle flame could not be illuminated, there was a "black shadow", but if you look closely, you can find that these black shadows are composed of a group of children hugging each other, there are more than a dozen people. Everyone's face was pale and pale as paper, and although it was a child's face, it was already a white beard, not pure snow white, but a gray hair color like a dying man.

With the exception of the child standing at the front, the other children seemed to have a chain around their necks to prevent them from escaping.

When the group of children saw the arrival of Lu Shiyuan and the others, their petite bodies suddenly trembled together, and the shadows trembled with the moving chains, making the only light in the stone room light and flickering, which looked a little weird.

Ye Yao looked at this scene blankly, obviously there was no wind in the cave, but she suddenly felt a yin wind blowing, the cold hairs on her body exploded, her back was cold, and her face turned pale.

Lu Shiyuan was observing Ye Yao at all times, and her reaction at the moment was not much different from his expectations.

He sighed secretly, knowing that with Ye Yao's character, he couldn't accept this scene.

He wasn't too impressed, because he had seen more brutal images. And whether or not Yan Xizi did this, he had no intention of letting him live.

But he still reacted similarly to Ye Yao.

Ye Yao was silent for a long time, and said tremblingly: "These children...... They were all caught by Yan Xiezi? ”

"Hmm." Lu Shiyuan's soul swept away, and he saw their physical condition, and his voice was a little low, "There is more or less poison in each of their bodies, and this should be a type of erysipelas." Yan Xizi arrested them, presumably as a medicine furnace. ”

Ye Yao muttered, "Medicine furnace? ”

Lu Shiyuan secretly said that it was not good, how could he, a person who only knew cultivation, understand these things? Fortunately, Ye Yao's spirit was a little dazed at the moment, and she couldn't notice this strangeness in his words at all.

"Master told me this." Lu Shiyuan simply patched it, and then explained, "Actually, the medicine furnace is not literal, but the person who tests the medicine. When some alchemists refine a new type of elixir, they will find someone to test the medicine to test the efficacy. But most of the people who test the medicine are voluntary, such as mortals whose family members are going to die of illness, they are willing to exchange it for the elixir of alchemy to save their families' lives. A small number of alchemists will test the medicine by themselves, staying by the Dan furnace for a normal year, and absorbing enough residual poison of the pill, which is not bad at all. Only a very small number of them will forcibly arrest people to test the medicine, which is the same evil cultivation as Yan Xizi. ”

Ye Yao's eyes widened in disbelief: "How many medicines did he let this group of children try before they became like this?" ”

Lu Shiyuan's eyes narrowed, and he carefully observed for a while: "Perhaps, it's not just about testing the medicine, I see the degree of poisoning of some of them, it is very likely that Yan Xizi has been feeding them poisonous strains or poisonous weeds. ”

Ye Yao's pupils shrank: "Why?" Is it to torture them? ”

Lu Shiyuan glanced at Ye Yao and said slowly: "It is to treat them as humanoid medicinal materials, and take their blood when needed, so that you can achieve the same effect as that medicinal material." ”

Ye Yao raised her hand and covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying, and the next moment, she looked calm.

But even if she used the Heavenly Heart Technique, her eyes were still red: "Will Yan Evil Son also refine us into a medicine furnace to torture us?" ”

Quite possibly.

Lu Shiyuan looked at Ye Yao, her sadness may be the pity of this group of children, or she may feel the sadness of the rabbit and the fox.

He said seriously: "Senior sister, we will definitely be able to live." ”

Ye Yao did not deny Lu Shiyuan again, but replied with his head bowed: "Well, we will." ”

She didn't know where Lu Shiyuan came from, but she didn't plan to break his illusions.

Moreover, she thought of a way to free them all.

Ye Yao squeezed towards the corner where the group of children gathered.

A figure stood up from the ground with difficulty, stood in front of the children, and spread his thin arms to block Ye Yao.

Lu Shiyuan raised his eyes and saw that she should be the one who made the movement before, it was difficult to distinguish between men and women just by looking at her appearance, and only under the perception of the soul could she know that she was a girl.

Ye Yao squatted down, looked at her at eye level, and asked softly, "Are you protecting them?" ”

The girl pursed her parched lips and said nothing.

Ye Yao laughed softly: "What a good boy, can you tell my sister your name?" ”

The girl still didn't answer, Ye Yao didn't care, and continued: "It's painful, right?" The days of being tortured by that man? ”

Hearing this, strong emotions suddenly appeared in the girl's eyes, not fear or fear, but deep hatred, so strong that it almost turned into substance.

Such a look appeared on the face of a girl of her age, and it looked inexplicably a little frightening.

Ye Yao's smile became softer and softer, but her eyes were a little regretful, and she slowly shook her head: "Sister can't help you take revenge, because we may also become like you." But my sister can free you, and I will kill you without any pain, so that you don't have to worry about being tortured by that person anymore, okay? ”

No matter how gentle her personality is, she is a demon girl after all, this is the way of thinking of a demon girl.

Listening to Ye Yao's crazy words, a flash of light bloomed in the girl's gray eyes.

She nodded emphatically.

Ye Yao smiled and touched her head: "Then can you tell my sister your name now?" ”

The girl looked at her fixedly, and spit out three words with difficulty: "Xiao ...... Miserable...... Cold. ”
