Chapter 244: Extinguishing the Flame of Hope

Seeing the rotten old man nodding, Zhao Ming hurriedly asked, "Senior, when can it start!"

The corrupt old man didn't rush to answer, but looked at him and asked, "Even if the meridians are restored to normal, what can I do? According to the rules of the Colosseum, it is rare to have a battle that oversteps too many levels. If you are a Xuan Immortal, your opponents are basically Xuan Immortals, and there are occasional Golden Immortals. If you reach the Golden Immortal Realm, your opponent will appear Da Luo Golden Immortal. ”

"In the Colosseum, the improvement of strength is not necessarily a good thing, and it may make you die faster because of it!"

Zhaoming wanted to shake his head, but it was difficult to do it, so he could only look at the stone slab on the top and said firmly: "I must become stronger, I want to escape from here, I still have too many things to do, I can't die here." ”

The rotten old man's expression remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "I have already failed once, and you have also tasted Wu Yuan's methods, do you still want to escape?"

Hearing the words of the corrupt old man, Zhaoming's heart moved, and he thought of the other party's reminder at that time, which was inexplicable and unbelievable. Thinking about it at this time, the other party seemed to have expected such a result, and immediately asked suspiciously: "Senior, did you know that I would end up like this?"

The rotten old man closed his eyes, opened them again and said, "Not bad!"

"Why?" Zhao Ming was puzzled. If the other party only sees that he is being destroyed, he will not help. But if it is not, there are some things that cannot be said.

The corrupt old man sighed: "How do you feel about the monks here when you come here?"

Zhaoming hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "Dead!"

The rotten old man blinked: "Yes, lifeless." Everyone here is just like you when they come, they can't accept it, they want to go out, and they make a lot of noise than you. ”

"The Wics didn't kill them. They didn't even use means to restrain them, but deliberately didn't close the gate and didn't leave the guards behind as they did yesterday, so that they could escape. It's just that the prohibition here is too strong and powerful, even if there is no one to guard it, as long as the prohibition is not broken. There's no way to escape. ”

"Escaped again and again, was captured again and again, and was tortured by various means of Wuyuan, the hardness in my heart finally disappeared and became what it is today. Except for newcomers like you, people here no longer have the idea of running away. ”

I see, Zhao Ming suddenly realized, no wonder when he came out of the cage yesterday, all the monks in it were like that. Come on now. I'm afraid it's like watching a play, waiting for myself to come back.

The decaying old man's eyes rose slightly, looking at the stone slab on the top, his eyes were deep, as if he had passed through here and seen the starry sky in the distance.

After a long while, he said very sentimentally: "The Wu Clan wants to completely abolish the Demon Clan and the Immortal Clan that fell into their hands. There are many ways to make a person completely decadent, and the most effective is to let the other person see hope again and again. Again and again, hope will be crushed. ”

"The pain of shattering dreams is far greater than the physical damage. When the hope of escape was shattered again and again. The idea of leaving also became weaker and weaker, until it disappeared. Just like now, even if there is any hope of escape, no one will believe in that hope anymore, let alone run away. ”

"There are already a hundred who are dead, and those who are alive are only struggling to live. Don't dare to have any other extravagant hopes. Such immortal and demon clans are already insensitive, and the fear of the witch clan has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, even if they leave here, what is the threat?"

"To destroy a race, not physically, but spiritually. The Wicans have done it. The demon clan here is all abolished, it is best for them to die here, even if they can get out, it will not help the demon clan at all, but it will affect the demon clan outside, so that all the demon clan feel that the end is coming. ”

It is better to die here, it is not a curse, but a wish. The words of the corrupt old man made Zhaoming's whole body stiffen, and the chill in his heart froze him tightly like the cold air from before.

In such a place, no one would have such thoughts, but the rotten old man did, not vicious, but helpless.

Decadence is contagious, and once these demons are brought back to the outside world, there will be no harm or good.

No, it won't be like this, Zhao Ming said secretly in his heart, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "No, my demon clan is the strongest race, even if it becomes like this now, but the flame in my heart will not be extinguished, and it will explode sooner or later." ”

He didn't know whether this was credible or not, but if he couldn't believe it, he had to believe it, and he didn't dare to imagine what he could do without hope.

The rotten old man sighed: "Perhaps, as you said, there is still suppressed anger in the deepest part of everyone's hearts, like boiling oil, and it can turn into a monstrous flame at a moment's notice." Unfortunately, the Wicans will never let this place have a spark that can ignite these boiling oils. Without a spark, there is no momentum to set the prairie on fire. ”

Escape without hope will not only fail to become Mars, but will gradually chill the boiling oil in your heart until it becomes like a pool of stagnant water.

The Wics are not stupid, they are smart, and they are using this means to extinguish the fire in the hearts of all their captives.

"Haha!" Zhaoming smiled with difficulty, pulled the injuries on his body, was a little uncomfortable, and then said firmly: "Playing with fire and self-immolation, the Wu clan must pay the price." As long as I don't die, I won't give up hope of escaping. If I fail, I'll just die, and if I do, I'll become the spark that burns this place down. ”

The sound was quite loud and spread all around, but no demon clan responded. There is a glance, even the most eager response. Once upon a time, they were as ambitious, but now they are...... Discouraged.

Not only them, but even the corrupt old man didn't see any response, he just talked to Zhaoming about the situation, and didn't think about what Zhaoming could really do.

After a slight pause, the old man returned to his words and said, "Your internal situation is a little complicated, although it is better than mine, but it is not a day or two. The True Qi in your body is helpful for me to recover, and I can use your True Qi to restore your meridians while trying my best to help you straighten out your meridians in the future. ”

If he was at his peak, he could naturally do it lightly, but now he can only take his time like peeling off the cocoon.

"It's so good, no matter how long it takes, as long as it can be restored!"

Zhaoming nodded, as long as there is hope, the joy in his heart swept away the haze brought before.

Lie still on the ground and pranayama and constantly recuperate your body.

A month later, another Wu clan came to arrest Zhaoming out of the cage. (To be continued......)
