"Hurry up, hurry up!"

There was a rough urging behind him, and little Alido turned his head a little numbly to look, and sure enough, a child walked slower and was severely reprimanded.

The children who were locked in the stone chamber were all driven out by the guards, and under the supervision of the guards, they formed a long line, through the narrow and dark corridors, and walked towards the unknown fate in a panicked mood.

After leaving the stone chamber less than two quarters of an hour, the children were driven out of the narrow corridor, and what appeared before them was a spacious underground palace, in the center of which there was a large circular altar, and the floor of the altar was carved with various strange and evil lines in some dark red material.

The roof of this dungeon is quite unique, not paved with stone bricks, but left to the earth in large swaths of bareness, and above the altar directly opposite, even if the dungeon is dark, the roots of the trees sticking out of the soil can be clearly seen. The strange thing is that these roots are like being coated with crimson blood, even if the lighting in the dungeon is insufficient, these blood-colored roots can be recognized by the people below at a glance, as if these roots can glow on their own in the dark.

Alido stood in front of the altar, and the little girl looked timidly around, and found that the dungeon on her side was already crowded with children of the same age who were also terrified, and on the high platform around her, guards with bows and arrows in their hands stood on the high platforms, and they stared at the eyes of the children in the audience, reminding Alido of the eagles hovering in the sky and staring at the prey below.

"Alright, now it's time for you to do things for the owner. You little bastards have lined up for me, come up from here, stand on this big round platform, and don't move after you have stood up! Start with you and move forward! ”

A tall guard standing in front of the children waved his whip towards the steps of the altar and ordered the children standing in front of him to walk up to the altar. Under his reprimand and chase, the little lambs were confused for a while, and then one by one they were put on the altar in low sobs.

Although the children were ignorant, this did not mean that they did not have any premonition of the impending crisis, but under the watchful eye of the shepherds, what could the little lambs do, two daring children wanted to sneak away, but they were immediately discovered by the guards, one of the guards mercilessly wounded the right leg of the two children with a bow and arrow, and then, in the cries and begs for mercy of the two children, they picked them up without saying a word, and threw them on the altar like garbage.

One by one, the children in front of them were driven to the altar, and it was little Alido's turn to stand at the front of the steps.

Alido's small body was constantly trembling, and her legs couldn't get out no matter what, and the tall guard standing beside her saw this, and then he couldn't help but whip Alido's back hard, and a dripping blood mark appeared in the place where the whip had been beaten.

Alido arched herself in pain, all the grievances and fears burst out at this moment, she crouched down and hugged herself, and tears the size of beans fell to the ground.

The tall guard's face was unmoved, and he grabbed the fabric of Alido's blouse on the back, not caring that the little girl's back had just been scarred, and in Alido's crying, he threw her onto the altar.

"Let's go, next!"

At the same time, high on the west side of the underground palace, Ling Xuan and the others stood behind the stone railing, quietly watching the final preparations before the ceremony began.

Yin Ling also came here at this time, and Ling Xuan and the others, Ma Guo used to have several relationships with Yin Ling, but Xu Fengshi was the first time to see this thin old woman, although Yin Ling smiled kindly in the face of them, the guests of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce, but for some reason, Xu Fengshi had an inexplicable fear and resistance to Yin Ling in his heart, and he always felt that behind Yin Ling's smile, there was a deep chill and malice.

"When the children are on the altar, the ceremony can begin." Yin Ling introduced, "According to the information provided by your Chamber of Commerce recently, the strange treasure can be determined to be under this underground palace, after the formation is activated, the strange treasure will break out from the north of the altar, and as long as we block the treasure, it will be in our bag." ”

Ma Guo nodded: "Do you need us to do something?" ”

"The secret passage on the northeast side of the dungeon is connected to a fork in the road, after the treasure is awakened, we need at least five people to operate the mechanism at that fork in the road, connecting the energy transmission in the entire secret passage, but at the moment, our side is short of manpower, I don't know if the people of your chamber of commerce can ......"

"I see, I deserve it." Ma Guo nodded.

"That's good, those organs are not troublesome to operate, and the old man will order the people from our side to bring the people from your chamber of commerce over and explain the methods of operating the organs."

What Yin Ling didn't tell Ma Guo was that the reason why they were short of manpower was because the team of monks sent out to clean up the blockade area encountered a few hard stubbles during the operation, and the number of monks trapped in the east of the forbidden area due to ground movement was also much more than expected, so the members of the Lu clan who were acting on the ground had to call for support from Yin Ling, so that Yin Ling's remaining manpower in the secret passage and the underground palace had to be transferred a large part of it.

Ma Guo looked at Xu Fengshi, "Fengshi, why don't you bring a few clever guys over, I need to look at the altar here with Elder Ling, and I won't be able to leave in a short time." ”

Xu Fengshi glanced at the children who were driven to the altar under the high platform, and listened to the crying sound from below, he really couldn't stay anymore, so he happily agreed to Ma Guo's proposal.

Under the guidance of a black-robed man, Xu Fengshi left the high platform with six members of the Fruit Tree Chamber of Commerce and headed northeast, they advanced for a long time in a long road, and finally came to the fork in the road that Yin Ling said.

The walls of this fork in the road are arranged with a number of dazzling devices that dazzle Xu Fengshi, one of which is inlaid with a striking red gemstone, and in the center of the fork is a half-height iron box, and there are several rockers of various sizes on the side of the iron box facing the ceiling.

"Deacon Xu, after the ruby over there lights up in a while, you will operate as I say." The black-robed man who led the way walked to the iron box in the center of the fork, "It's very simple, you choose five people to line up from left to right in the position where I stand, and then press these five joysticks at the same time......

As Yin Ling said, the mechanism at the fork in the road seems complicated, but it is very convenient to operate, and in less than a cup of tea, Xu Fengshi and others can operate the mechanism here freely.

Seeing that Xu Fengshi and the others had no problem, the black-robed man nodded with satisfaction and hurriedly left.

It wasn't until the black-robed man's back disappeared into the corridor that the depression in Xu Fengshi's heart was finally relieved.

He glanced at the fellows in the Chamber of Commerce around him and saw that they seemed to feel the same way.

An older guy who had been a nurse in the Chamber of Commerce for many years only mustered up his courage at this time, and asked Xu Fengshi in a low voice: "Deacon Xu, what is the origin of these black-robed people, why do they give people such an evil feeling." ”

"Yes, yes, the person who just guided us is a little abnormally white, just like those evil cultivators who live by sucking human blood in legends. And the old lady surnamed Yin before, when she laughed, I felt panicked. ”

When Xu Fengshi heard this question, he couldn't help but get upset again, he didn't know anything about the origin of those black-robed people, but since the high-level of the Chamber of Commerce seemed to trust those black-robed people very much, he could only prevaricate his guys first: "No matter what, in short, they are trustworthy people on the side of the Chamber of Commerce, let's get things done, and when the matter in the forbidden area is over, we don't have to deal with them anymore." ”

Xu Fengshi glanced at the ruby embedded in the mechanism, and instructed his subordinates: "Let's rest first, when that gem lights up in a while, we should get up and work." ”

The guys of the Chamber of Commerce responded one after another, they have been walking around in the forbidden area for the past two days, it is a lie to say that they are not tired and tireless, and when they heard Xu Fengshi's words, they each found a place and sat down to rest.

"Alas, I hope that the matter here will end smoothly soon, I really don't want to stay here for a moment......" Xu Fengshi also sat down, and sighed several times in a row, at this time he was not only physically, but also mentally tired.

As if God wanted to deliberately trick Xu Fengshi, the more he wanted the matter to end quickly, the more unexpected situations came to the door. Not long after Xu Fengshi sat down, three figures appeared in the corridor opposite him when he came.

"Who?" A sharp-eyed caravan guard spotted the three uninvited guests and quickly stood up. The other members of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce couldn't help but get up, and everyone's spirits tensed again.

Xu Fengshi fixed his eyes and felt that the figures of these three uninvited guests were quite familiar, and the three of them got closer and closer, and finally, Xu Fengshi saw their faces clearly.

"Stone ...... Shi Gongzi? Why are you guys here! Xu Fengshi exclaimed.

Shi Cheng walked into the fork in the road, the expression on his face was terrifyingly calm, "Deacon Xu, we meet again." ”
