"Sister Lingling, will someone come to save us?"

A few little guys looked at Xu Ling with hopeful eyes, but Xu Ling didn't know how to answer.

Rescue, surely no one will come to save them, she once heard her parents say that this is a closed space, except for those high-ranking people in the central palace, no one can leave here.

But if that's the case, I'm afraid these little guys who were born here like her will be completely desperate.

"Yes! You can rest assured! As long as we hold on for a while, someone will definitely come to our rescue! ”

Xu Ling had a smile on his face, as if he was full of hope for the future.

When the little ones saw her say this, they finally settled down a little.

"Eat!"

A thin young man like a hemp pole walked into the dungeon, took out bundles of netherworld flowers from the storage bag, and stuffed them into the cells like feeding pigs.

In these cells, in addition to eight or nine-year-old girls like them, there are also many adults, only compared to the children who still have hope, those adults look numb, as if they are just waiting for death.

"Sister Lingling, I don't want to eat this kind of thing!"

A little boy looked at the Yin Flower in front of him and said with a look of resistance.

"I'll pick a few for you!"

Xu Ling picked two Yin Flowers that were not yet fully mature, and the Yin Qi was not so heavy and handed them to the young man, but they were slapped away by the young man.

"I don't eat! I don't eat! The boy shouted in a tantrum.

"Then I'll eat later!"

Xu Ling didn't persuade any more.

She has some blood relationship with the teenager and is considered her cousin, so she has always taken care of her, but these cares have obviously become the teenager's capital to vent.

In today's situation, she doesn't bother to say anything more, if she is hungry for a long time, the other party will naturally eat.

The little boy sat in the corner angrily, watching everyone pick up the Yin Flower, chew and swallow it like a medicine, and couldn't help but clench his fists.

After eating, everyone sat down very skillfully and exercised to expel the yin qi in the body.

Although the Yin Flower is only a first-order elixir, eating a large amount of Yin Qi for a long time will still accumulate a large amount of Yin Qi in the body, and if it is not cleared or dissolved in time, the body will soon have problems.

They only have the cultivation of the Qi cultivation period, no matter how they dissolve it, there will still be residues in the body, and it is still difficult to escape death over time, but it is just the difference between early death and late death.

But there was nothing else they could do, and for them, the Netherflower was almost the only thing they could eat.

Other higher-level elixirs will only make them die faster.

In the past, there were people in the palace who would regularly send them ordinary food, and they only needed to cultivate various spiritual elixirs and practice the exercises given to them in the palace.

Life at that time was boring, but it was also carefree.

But since a year ago, it has changed!

The people in the palace no longer appeared, and a large number of ghosts and corpse golems began to appear in the wilderness, although because of the exercises, those ghosts and corpse golems would not attack them, but losing the source of food would be equivalent to cutting off their lives.

In the beginning, the town was able to maintain stability thanks to the prestige that the palace had accumulated over a long period of time.

But as food became scarcer, chaos inevitably began to grow.

Before the monks advanced to the Jindan stage, they all had to eat food, but the higher they cultivated, the less they ate.

The people in the town are all in the Qi training period, and they can live without eating or drinking for three or five days, and if they don't eat or drink for a long time, they won't be able to support it.

Water, they can be condensed by spells, but food can't be made out of thin air.

The more time passed, the more chaos in the town grew.

Xu Ling's parents died in one of the chaos.

And she didn't even find the body.

As for where the bodies went?

The same group of people who hold them are doing the same thing every day.

The yin attribute elixir cultivated in the outside world could not be used in large quantities, and those who were powerful, in order to live longer, united together and began to raise them in captivity.

They eat elixirs, and the other person refines them into food.

Thinking that they could become food at any time, and how many people could bear it, those adults were full of despair and numbness one by one.

Xu Ling's only hope now is that the people of the palace can appear, so that they will be saved.

But as time went on, as the number of people continued to decrease, she was also about to fall into complete despair.

"I don't know what the outside world is like? It would be nice to be able to see it before you die! ”

After refining the yin qi in his body, Xu Ling lay at the door of the cell, fantasizing in his heart.

She was born in this space and had never been to the outside world, only heard about the legends from other people.

There is honey that is ten times sweeter than black sour fruit, there are all kinds of sweet and sour food, there are all kinds of unheard of fruits, and all kinds of colorful scenery.

It is said that there is something called a rainbow that can have seven colors at the same time, and she can't imagine it.

"Nope! No! Don't kill me! ”

A terrible scream pulled Xu Ling back to reality, and she turned her head to see that a guard was opening one of the cells, and a young man was dragging out like a piglet.

The young man struggled too much, and the so-called impatient slapped him and fainted.

She had seen the same scene more than once, and her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly regained her composure.

"I wonder who will be next?"

Xu Ling prayed in his heart, don't be their cell.

But God always likes to play tricks on people.

Soon after the young man was dragged out, two more guards walked in and walked straight towards the cell where the boy and girl were being held.

"Today, the boss wants to change the taste, we have to pick it well, last time Shen Biao didn't have long eyes, he was cut off two fingers by the boss!" One of the guards said.

"Last time, it wasn't the problem of the ingredients, but Shen Biao didn't have long eyes and mixed a hair into it, so the boss was angry!" Another guard laughed.

"I see! I said, how can the boss be so angry! Let's be careful this time! ”

"Don't worry! Don't you know my craft! ”

"Then it's up to you, if you satisfy the boss this time, maybe we won't have to eat water in the future!"

The two talked and laughed, as if they were not here to arrest people, but to go to the market to buy vegetables.

It's isolated, the morality itself is weak, and now that it's been so long to adapt, they've long been accustomed to it.

"Don't come here! Stay back! ”

Xu Ling kept chattering in his heart, but he couldn't change anything, the other party still walked straight towards them, opened the seal on the door, and pulled it open.

The teenagers and girls were frightened and huddled together, like panicked chicks, Xu Ling trembled, extreme fear made her brain empty, but instinctively blocked in front of everyone.

Because she is a little older, she has always been the eldest sister in the group of children in the town, so she naturally has to stand in the way at this time, relying on her lonely courage.

"Shout! Little girl, you're so bold! ”

One of the guards couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Xu Ling's actions.

He has done this kind of thing I don't know how many times, and he usually pushes each other, but it is the first time he has seen someone take the initiative to rush up.

"This girl seems to be Xu Mang's daughter, and her temper is really the same as her Laozi, she likes to be in the limelight!"

The other guard seemed to recognize Xu Ling, and his eyes showed a look of disgust.

Because when Xu Ling's father was alive, he used to be his boss and was very strict with him, and every time he made a little mistake, he would hold on to him, which made him jealous.

Xu Ling's father was killed by a sneak attack, and he also contributed a lot behind his back.

"Since you don't like him, it's better to choose her."

The other guard didn't care.

"Good!"

He nodded, and then reached out towards Xu Ling and grabbed it.

Xu Ling instinctively dodged back, but she didn't expect someone behind her to push her hard at this time.

Just like that, she was easily caught by the guards.

She didn't dare to look back confidently, but she only saw the joy in the eyes of the young and middle-aged girls.

I'm glad it wasn't them, and I'm glad I could live a little longer.

The young man's hand that pushed her hadn't been completely lowered, it was none other than her cousin who was shouting that he didn't like to take elixir.

After catching Xu Ling, the two did not stop, and easily grabbed Xu Ling's cousin, who asked him to stretch out his hand.

"Nope! Don't catch me! Cousin Xu Ling had a strong desire to survive, and after being caught, he yelled and struggled desperately: "She has a lot of meat, one is enough, don't arrest me!" I don't want to die! ”

"Noise!"

The guard slapped him unconscious, and then one of them walked out with one in his hand.
