Blood splattered on the ground, revealing a sinister darkness under the moonlight.
The big man holding the knife was stunned, and the middle-aged man who led the way looked pained.
“I ask, you answer.”
Zhou You looked at the big man holding the knife, and at the moment the middle-aged man turned around, his legs also broke, and he could only fall to the ground in horror, wailing.
The big man holding the knife trembled, “You…you weren't poisoned?”
Part of the middle-aged man’s body was cut off again, and Zhou You’s expression was calm, “I ask, you answer, I didn’t ask you to ask.”
The middle-aged man wailed in pain, “Then you ask me, why are you so quick to act?!”
“Where is my friend?”
Zhou You continued to look at the big man holding the knife.
The big man holding the knife couldn’t stop trembling, “I…I…”
The middle-aged man’s left arm was also cut off, and his shrill screams echoed in the night sky.
The big man holding the knife swung his knife, but the knife broke.
“I ask, you answer!”
Zhou You’s tone became a bit sharper.
“Blood Crystal Mine!”
The big man holding the knife screamed in terror.
“Blood Crystal Mine?”
Zhou You narrowed his eyes slightly.
The big man holding the knife nodded desperately, “The Blood Crystal Mine is very special. The excavation process will cause the excavator’s Qi and blood to drain, and they cannot use spells to excavate. Therefore, people must go down and dig themselves. But ordinary people definitely can’t do it; it must be Cultivators, preferably those in the Tuotai Realm or above. However, our strength is limited, and we can only trick those in the Spirit Connection Realm at most.”
Zhou You was not entirely ignorant of the Blood Crystal Mine.
In fact, he himself had used it for a period of time.
This item is indeed very special, possessing the ability to devour blood. If an ordinary person carried a piece on them, even if they did nothing, three to five days would be enough to turn him into a dried corpse.
Therefore, to excavate the Blood Crystal Mine, one must be a genuine Cultivator.
What a Spirit Stone contains is the purest Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi; the higher the grade, the fewer the Impurities.
And the power contained in the Blood Crystal is a mutated Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, whose main function is to temper one’s own blood and Blood Spirit.
The Blood Crystal Mine is not only special but also rare.
“You, a Tuotai Realm Cultivator, actually know about the Blood Crystal Mine?”
Zhou You smiled, finding it a bit incredible.
Even if a certain force was excavating the Blood Crystal Mine, it would absolutely not be possible for the news to leak out casually.
This is a very dangerous matter; once the news leaks, it will attract countless behemoths.
The big man holding the knife hurriedly said, “At first, I didn’t know either. I only found out when I accidentally overheard it.”
Zhou You said coldly, “So, my friend has already been sold?”
The big man holding the knife said tremblingly, “They’ve been gone for a whole day, so they should be three or four hundred li away by now. After all, this kind of cargo cannot be stuck in our hands; shipping it out as soon as possible is the greatest guarantee for us.”
Zhou You sneered, “What force do you belong to?”
The big man holding the knife’s expression changed drastically, “This, this, this…”
Zhou You said coldly, “Did you forget what I said? I ask, you answer, unless you want to end up like him.”
The big man holding the knife’s face turned pale, “Evil…Evil Cloud Pavilion, external personnel.”
Zhou You raised an eyebrow, “Evil Cloud Pavilion? Is that the largest human trafficking concentration camp? Wasn’t it destroyed a long time ago?”
The big man holding the knife said tremblingly, “No, no, a Vice Pavilion Master survived back then; he’s just been hiding in the dark.”
Zhou You frowned slightly. When he occasionally chatted with the Old Man, he naturally learned about past events.
Old men, what they like to talk about most is the ‘past’.
After all, they all stay on the mountain, so even if they want to talk about something new, they don’t have any material.
Zhou You said indifferently, “So, my friend will be sent to the Evil Cloud Pavilion?”
The big man holding the knife hurriedly said, “It might also be sent directly to the mining area, but I don’t know the location of the mining area.”
Zhou You nodded, “Take me to your contact person.”
The big man holding the knife exclaimed, his eyes full of terror.
Along with a scream, the middle-aged man’s head was cut off.
The big man holding the knife’s body went limp, and he sat on the ground, trembling all over.
Agree, he would die.
Refuse, he would die now.
Zhou You said, “Loyalty, I don’t recommend you have it. For a guy like you, it’s better to save your own life.”
The big man nodded hurriedly.
Zhou You took a deep breath, “Name.”
“Ma Chuang.”
“Home address?”
“I used to be from Xijue City, but now Xijue City is a Fallen Area.”
Zhou You smiled slightly, “How long will it take for your accomplice to return after delivering the goods?”
Ma Chuang hurriedly said, “It will take about seven or eight days for the round trip, if she doesn’t delay on the way.”
Zhou You nodded, “Very good, I’m quite satisfied with your attitude now.”
He stepped out, “Don’t think about escaping, you’ll die a miserable death.”
Ma Chuang hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly followed behind him. How could he dare to escape?
Zhou You thought for a moment and then stopped, “How about you give me some assurance? I can’t keep an eye on you all the time.”
Ma Chuang exclaimed.
Zhou You pursed his lips, signaling him to look at the previous person’s corpse.
“Understood.”
Ma Chuang walked into the courtyard, placed his right leg on a stone pier, and raised a stone with both hands.
Crack!
Ma Chuang directly smashed his own leg with the stone. For his own life, he had to do this.
Ma Chuang’s face was pale, and he was sweating profusely from the pain, “Is…is that enough?”
“Very good.”
Zhou You whispered, “My original intention was to say that you could find an iron chain to shackle your legs.”
Ma Chuang opened his mouth, tears welling up from the pain.
Damn it, that really hurt!
Why didn’t you say so earlier!
Seeing Zhou You walking out, Ma Chuang hurriedly found a broken wooden stick and dragged his right leg behind him.
By the time Zhou You returned to the inn, it was already late at night.
Except for the Old Dog in the lobby downstairs, everyone else was gone.
The Old Dog looked up with a troubled expression, very confused about Zhou You bringing a limping person.
“What did the Demon Subduing Division say?”
Zhou You sat down. When the Old Dog left earlier, he was already going for this matter.
The Old Dog said, “They said that the Blood Shadow Wolf King in Xijue City went mad, and most of the Loose Cultivators in the wilderness yesterday suffered, with dozens dead.”
Zhou You said, “Oh.”
The Old Dog continued, “As for whether an attack will be launched, it hasn’t been determined yet. Nie Sen’s meaning is actually very simple: just let everyone prepare in advance. If things are impossible, quickly retreat to the rear.”
Zhou You nodded, but if they retreated further, it might be the Sixteenth Ring.
In other words, in that direction, it would almost certainly be Qingping City.
The Old Dog sighed, “Living as a person is sometimes truly difficult. Anyway, as long as we don’t enter the Fifth Ring, the royal family probably won’t use their true foundation.”
Zhou You smiled, “It’s fine, it won’t come to that.”
The Old Dog glanced at Ma Chuang, “Who is this?”
