24|Ambiguous flower mercy night caught in the pit of sinners

The more he did, the more dangerous Xie Ren felt, saying, “Everyone back away, don’t get close to it, and don’t pay attention to what it says.”

The crowd was too busy to listen to him, scattering in panic. The earth buried face while trying to heave a laugh, while saying: “Alas, do not go, you this is why, I am also a person, I will not harm you!”

Xie Renxin said, “You’re overthinking it, you don’t look like a person at all!”

Who knows, at this moment, a sudden change, a merchant probably thought that no matter what still have to take some herbs back to save people, secretly walked forward a few steps, stooped down to pick up the handful of good moon grass on the ground which was just thrown away by the fear. The eyes of the buried face turned around, and a brilliant light flashed in his eyes.

Xie Ren’s heart screamed for the worst and rushed over, “Don’t pick it up! Come back!”

However, it was already too late, the earth buried face suddenly opened his mouth, a bright red thing slipped out of his mouth.

What a long tongue!

Xie Ren held the merchant’s back collar and retreated backward, but the thing that flew out of the buried face’s mouth was strangely long, and with a snort, it leaped in through one of the merchant’s ears!

Xie Ren felt a violent tremor in the torso under his hand, and the merchant let out a short, miserable scream as his limbs twitched and he fell to his knees. That long tongue, however, darted out of his ear and pulled out a large bloody chunk, retracting it back into the mouth of the earth buried face. Yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy! Yummy yummy yummy! I’m starving to death, I’m starving to death!”

The voice was both shrill and sharp, and those eyeballs were covered in blood, which was just disgusting!

This man has been buried here for more than fifty years, and has been assimilated into this demonic country, completely transformed into something else!

Xie Ren loosened his right hand that was holding the merchant’s back collar, and was about to split this disgusting thing with a palm, when he suddenly heard that earth-buried face screaming again: ”General! General! They are here! They are here!”

Only a growl more ferocious than that of a wild beast could be heard as a black shadow descended from the sky and landed heavily in front of Xie Ren.

The moment this black shadow landed on the ground, almost the entire ground was stepped on with a tremor. And by the time he slowly stood up, the crowd was enveloped in the huge shadow he cast.

This “man” is too tall.

His face was dark as iron, and his features were fierce and rugged, as if he were the face of a beast. Chest and shoulders clad in armor, more than nine feet long, rather than a man, it is more like a huge wolf walking upright. Behind him, there are constantly one, two, three …… more than ten “people” jumped down from the roof of the palace.

These “people” were all tall and of similar stature, and all of them carried a wolf’s tooth stick with dense teeth on their shoulders, giving them the illusion of a wolf pack in human form. After they landed, they surrounded the several people in the garden, like a circle of huge iron towers.

Half Moon Soldier!

These soldiers were surrounded by gusts of black gas, and of course they had long since stopped being alive. Xie Ren’s body was tense, and Ruo Xie was poised to strike.

However, after those Half Moon soldiers saw them, they did not immediately pounce on them to kill them, but instead let out earth-shattering maniacal laughter and shouted loudly at each other in a foreign language. That voice is so strange, pronunciation is tricky, the tongue rolled up badly, is exactly the language of the half-moon country.

Although after two hundred years, Xie Ren’s half-moon language has been forgotten, but just now in that general’s mound is also considered to have reviewed with Sanlang, coupled with these several soldiers voice like a bell, and spit rude words, vocabulary is simple, it is not difficult to understand.

He heard all the Half-Moon soldiers calling the first Half-Moon “General”, and interspersing the conversation with words like “escort away” and “no killing for the time being”, he took a deep breath and said in a low voice: “Don’t panic, these half-moon people won’t kill for now, they seem to be taking us to another place. Never act rashly, I can’t guarantee that I can beat them, see what happens.”

These soldiers are extremely difficult to deal with at first glance, all of them have thick skin and flesh, even if he has Ruoxi’s hand, hanged one afraid to spend a small period of time, a time to dozens of, it is not good to deal with. At the moment, there are a few ordinary people are also present, also can only temporarily wait and see what happens.

Miroku was silent. The others originally had no claims, even if they wanted to act rashly they didn’t know how to act rashly, and tearfully nodded their heads. Only that earth buried face screamed, “General! General! You let me go! I helped you leave the enemy behind, you let me go home! I want to go back!”

When he saw this group of half-moon soldiers, he was extremely excited, screaming and whimpering at the same time, with some half-baked half-moon vocabulary mixed in his shouts, which should have been learnt randomly in the fifty or sixty years he had been working as a fertilizer here. The nine-foot half-moon man called “General” saw something writhing and screaming in the earth, as if he also felt disgusted, and hammered down with a wolf-teeth club, piercing the head of the earth-buried face with several sharp spikes. The earth buried face screamed, he lifted again, the spikes embedded in the face of the earth buried face, uprooted him, and brought him out of the earth, realizing his “let me out” wish.

However, what even broke the ground under the neck of this earth-buried face was not a human body at all, but a set of white bones!

Several merchants screamed in terror at this horrific sight. And the head of that earth-buried face came off from the spikes of the wolf’s tooth stick, covered in blood, and seeing his own body, he seemed to be stunned as well, sucking in a mouthful of cold air, saying, “What is this? What is this?!”

Xie Ren reminded, “This is your body.”

Think about it. This person has been buried in the desert land for fifty or sixty years, the flesh and blood of his body, has long been turned into the nutrients of those good moon grasses, and has been eaten to the point that only a skeleton remains.

Earth Buried Face still refused to believe it, saying, “How is this possible? My body is not like this, this is not my body!!!”

His voice was mournful and incomparable, a horrifying and pathetic image, Xie Ren shook his head, but Miroku snorted and said, “You’re just now looking at this body of yours? Then what was that thing sticking out of your mouth just now, do you think it’s okay?”

Earth Buried Face immediately retorted, “What’s the problem! It’s only …… just a little bit longer than an ordinary person’s tongue!”

With a sneer in the corner of his eye, Miroku said, “Well, not bad, slightly longer. Haha.”

Earth Buried Face said, “Not bad! Only slightly longer! That’s just the way I’ve become over the years as I’ve slowly stretched longer and longer in order to eat flying insects and reptiles to stay alive!”

When he was first buried in the earth, he was probably still alive, and in order to survive, he tried to stretch out his tongue to eat those flying insects and reptiles. Gradually, he was no longer a human being, and his tongue grew longer and longer, and the “food” he ate changed from flying insects and reptiles to something more horrible.

But because he had been buried in the earth and hadn’t been able to see what his body looked like for so many years, he simply couldn’t accept it and didn’t want to believe that he wasn’t a person anymore. The earth-buried face tried to argue, “There are also people with longer tongues!”

Saburo laughed. Looking at him, Xie Ren’s heart inexplicably chilled. This teenager’s smile truly gave people a coldness like he was about to peel off another person’s face.

Miroku said, “Do you think you’re still a person?”

After being asked such a question, that earth buried face seemed to have a sense of crisis. He suddenly became annoyed and said, “Of course I’m human. I am a human being!”

He shouted as he struggled to move his arms and legs, which had turned into white bones, trying to crawl on the ground. Perhaps because he finally came out of the earth, he felt heartfelt joy and laughed maniacally, “I’m going back, I can go back! Hahahahahahahahaha ……”

“Ka!”

His laughter is too harsh, finally annoyed the half-moon general, a foot down, the earth buried face of the skull instantly cracked. And his scream of “I am a human being” could not come out anymore.

The “general” stepped on the annoying earth buried surface, shouted at the soldiers, and a group of Half Moon soldiers waved their wolf-tooth sticks, yelled at the group, and began to drive them towards the palace.

Xie Ren walked in the forefront, with Sanlang still following behind him. Even while being escorted by a group of vicious Half Moon soldiers, this teenager’s steps remained unhurried, as if he was taking a walk. Since the party, Xie Ren had been trying to find a chance to talk to him, and after walking for a while, when he saw that the group of Half-Moon soldiers were talking to each other again and not paying much attention to them, he whispered, “They call this leader’s Half-Moon man ‘General’. I wonder what kind of general.”

Sure enough, as soon as he asked, Miroku answered anyway. He said, “When the Half Moon Kingdom fell, there was only one general. His name, translated into Chinese, was called ‘Carved Mill’.”

Xie Ren said, “Carve and grind?”

It was a strange name. Sanlang said, “Not bad. It is said that because he was physically weak as a child and was often bullied, he vowed to become stronger, so he practiced his strength by carving a grinding wheel out of stone, and he got such a name.”

Xie Ren couldn’t help but think to himself, “That could actually be called vigorously ……”

Sanlang added, “Rumor has it that Carved Mill is the bravest general of the Half Moon Kingdom through the ages, nine feet long, with immense strength, and is a loyal supporter of the Half Moon Kingdom Master.”

Xie Ren said, “Even after death? Now he is sending us to the Half Moon Kingdom Master?”

Miroku said, “Maybe.”

In case there were more Half Moon soldiers there, how should I get out? I don’t know what happened to South Wind who lured them away. The Good Moon Grass is in my hands, how should I deliver it to the poisoned person within twelve hours?

Xie Ren walked and pondered along the way, realizing that General Carving Mill had taken them further and further out of the way, and in the end, brought them to a place at the very edge of the Half Moon Country, before stopping. Xie Ren stopped and looked up, an incomparably tall wall of yellow earth stood in front of him, as if it was a giant.

Their destination, surprisingly, was the pit of sinners.

Although he had lived in the vicinity of the Half Moon Kingdom for a period of time, Xie Ren actually did not often enter the Half Moon City, and of course, had never been close to this Sinner’s Pit. Looking close at this Sinner’s Pit, her heart palpitated inexplicably.

The outer side of the loess wall was equipped with a staircase, and while slowly climbing along this humble staircase, Xie Ren looked downward, constantly observing with his naked eyes, and finally understood what the palpitations were originating from.

It wasn’t because of the association that this place was used for torture that he shuddered, and it wasn’t because he was worried about whether or not this party would be pushed to the bottom of the pit, but it was a kind of palpitation that was purely due to sensing the presence of the mana array field.

The terrain and pattern around this Sinner’s Pit had been deliberately set up as an extremely powerful formation.

And this formation, it serves only one purpose – to make those who fall down this pit, never climb up!

The so-called “can’t climb up” means that even if someone puts a rope down, or builds a ladder, and the person underneath seizes this ray of hope and climbs up, halfway up, the formation will be activated, and that person will also be beaten down again. Xie Ren did not move to hold the wall with his hand, rowed all the way section, roughly feel the material of the wall, found that the wall looks like earth, but in fact it is a hard and unparalleled stone, and may also be enchanted with what spells, it must be very difficult to break.

And wait until they climbed all the stairs, to the top of the pit of sinners, standing on the eaves of the loess wall, the first sight, can only be described in the word “shock”.

The entire Sinner’s Pit was four high walls that surrounded it. Each high wall, more than thirty feet long, more than twenty feet high, each wall is about four feet thick, towering. In the center of the four walls, a huge four-sided space was surrounded, without any platforms or logs to stand on.

It was late in the day, and the huge pit was so dark that it could not be seen to the end at all, only gusts of cold air and bloody air drifted up from the bottomless darkness from time to time.

The crowd stepped on the eaves of the high wall without any parapet, walking at this height of tens of feet from the ground, not many people dared to look down. And after walking for a while, they came across a long vertical pole in front of them, and on the pole was hanging a corpse, the very same one they had seen below before. That corpse was extremely small one, a young girl in black, her clothes in tatters, her head hanging low.

Xie Ren knew that this pole was specially used to hang those sinners whom the soldiers wanted to humiliate maliciously. Usually, the jailers would strip the clothes of that sinner and hang him naked, letting the prisoner die of starvation or dehydration. After death, the body would swing with the wind, sunlight, rain and wind drying, while the limbs would rot and fall down, making the corpse’s death extremely unsightly.

This young girl’s body had not yet decomposed, and must not have been dead for long, perhaps a resident of the neighborhood. This group of half moon soldiers even put a little girl’s body hanging in this kind of place, really is extremely cruel and vicious. When Ah Zhao, Tiansheng and the others saw this situation, they all turned pale and stopped their steps, not daring to move forward, but fortunately, Carved Mill didn’t drive them anymore. He turned around, rushed to the bottom of the pit of sinners, and shouted out at length.

Xie Ren was feeling strange in his heart, “Why did you shout up so much?” The next moment, his question was answered.

Seemingly in response to his shout, a burst of roaring sounds came from the bottom of the pitch-black pit. Like tigers and wolves, like monsters, like tsunamis, hundreds and thousands of them were deafening. Several people on the eaves of the wall were almost shaken by this roar to the point of not being able to stand, Xie Ren also heard the rustling sound of sand, dust and debris being shaken down, clear to the extreme.

Only criminals are thrown into the pit of sinners, could it be that the response to the carving and grinding is the dead souls of the sinners at the bottom of the pit?

At this time, Carved Mill roared again at the bottom. Xie Ren listened carefully to discern that this time, he was no longer yelling meaninglessly, nor were they any words of curses, instead, they should be encouraging. Xie Ren was very sure that he heard such a word – “Brothers”.

Carved Mill finished his roar and shouted at the Half Moon soldiers who were escorting Xie Ren and the others. This sentence, Xie Ren heard distinctly.

What he said was, “Throw only two down.”

Although none of the others understood what he was talking about, they could probably guess what this was intended to be, their faces turning white in unison. Seeing that they were too scared to stand, Xie Ren took a step forward and said in a low voice, “Don’t be nervous, I’ll go first if there’s anything later.”

In case he had to go down later, then he would just go down and take a look first. Anyway, it was nothing more than uninspired snakes and beasts and fierce ghosts. Since he couldn’t be killed by falling, beating, biting, or poisoning, as long as the bottom wasn’t filled with lava flames and poisonous water, it shouldn’t be too ugly for him to jump down.

Moreover, he also has Ruoxi, even if he can’t use it to climb up due to the formation, but in case these half-moon soldiers throw people down again, it’s still possible to pick them up. This carving mill said “other people take away to look after”, then it means that other people will be safer for the time being. After all, it is not easy to capture a living person in the Gobi, can not be eaten all at once, probably want to hoard, one at a time slowly eat.

He thought clearly, but who knows, there was someone beside him who didn’t have a sinking feeling.

Since ascending to the top of this pit of sinners, except for Xie Ren and Sanlang who looked as normal, everyone was trembling, especially Ah Zhao.

Perhaps because he felt that he was bound to die, so he might as well fight to the death, Azhao clenched both fists and suddenly snapped, burying his head and charging towards the engraved mill!

He rushed, seems to be spelled out with the determination to die, is rushing to carve mill together knocked down to go. Rao is carved mill tall, shape like a tower, but also by his determination to die this hold a punch knocked back three steps, almost lost their footing, on the spot angry, roar, turn over his hand will be the azhao lifted down.

Seeing the youth fall down the dark deep pit and go, the crowd screamed in unison, and Xie Ren also said, “Ah Zhao!”

At this time, the black bottomless pit far up a cheer, as well as extremely cruel sound of biting, as if the evil ghosts compete with each other to eat. Just listening to it, I know that this youth named Ah Zhao, absolutely no possibility of survival.

Xie Ren was also completely unprepared for such a development and was greatly stunned.

He originally suspected that Azhao was the subordinate of the Half Moon Master, specializing in luring the passers into the Half Moon Kingdom, and also suspected that the person that the earth buried face said that he had seen “fifty or sixty years ago” was also him, but he did not expect that this young man was the first one among them to be killed. How could he have survived such a jump?

Could it be a fake death? But their party was already prisoners of the Half Moon soldiers right now, and if Ah Zhao was really a subordinate of the Half Moon State Master, and had the upper hand at the moment, he could have just torn off his disguise and strutted his stuff, so why would he have to go through the trouble of faking his death in front of them? This was simply pointless. But then why did Ah Zhao rush towards Carved Mill? Wasn’t this also a meaningless sending of death?

While Xie Ren’s mind was still in a flurry of thoughts, the Half Moon soldiers over there started looking for the next living person to push down again. Carving Mill raised his hand and pointed at Tiansheng. A Half Moon soldier reached out with a big palm and came to grab the person, and Tiansheng was so scared that he shouted, “Ah! Help! Don’t grab me! I’m ……”

Xie Ren had no time to think further and stood out, saying, “General, wait.”

Hearing him open his mouth, still speaking the Half Moon language, a look of surprise appeared on Carved Mill’s dark face. With a wave of his hand, he stopped the soldiers and said, “You speak our language? Where are you from?”

Xie Ren said gently, “I came from the land of the Central Plains.”

He didn’t mind lying and saying that he was from the Halfmoon Kingdom, but it wasn’t feasible. His half-moon language also do not know in the end picked up a few percent, and carve mill conversation for a long time will eventually reveal. In fact, his appearance can also be clearly seen where the people, half-moon country people extremely hate lying and cheating behavior, if they are dismantled, the consequences are even worse.

Carved and milled, “The Middle Kingdom? Yongan descendants?”

Xie Ren said, “No. The Yong’an Kingdom was exterminated a long time ago. There are no Yongan people now.”

However, to the people of the Half Moon Kingdom, as long as the people from the Central Plains are similar, all of them are Yongan’s relatives and descendants. They were destroyed by Yongan’s army, once they heard where he came from, Carving Mill’s black face flashed with fury, and a group of Halfmoon soldiers also clamored, screaming some curses and disparaging words, Xie Ren listened, but only what “despicable”, “liar”, “throw him down”, no pain, no gain, no loss. “Throw him down”, no pain, no gain.

Carving Mill said, “Our country has disappeared into the Gobi for over two hundred years, and you are not from our country, yet you know our language, what are you really?”

Xie Ren couldn’t help but glance at the calm and collected teenager beside him, thinking to himself that he hoped that in case he couldn’t round down later, the big deal would be to harden his heart and call out for San Lang to save me. He was all set to start babbling, and right at this moment, there was another mountainous roar from the bottom of the pitch-black pit.

The things down there seemed to have finished partaking of Azhao’s corpse. But they were still hungry, and in unison, they used this sound to convey their thirst for fresh blood and flesh. Carved Mill waved his hand, seemingly going to grab Born again, and Xie Ren added, “General, I’ll go first.”

Carving mill surely never heard of someone here to ask to be first, eyes wide, as copper bells, surprised, “You first? Why are you here first?”

Xie Ren, of course, could not truthfully answer that because I am not afraid, and chose a moderate answer, saying, “General, these are nothing more than innocent passing merchants, and there are children inside.”

Carving Mill listened and sneered, “When your Yongan’s army bloodied our country, it didn’t occur to you that there are many innocent merchants and children here as well.”

The demise of the Half Moon Kingdom had been two hundred years ago, and now both sides had long since changed dynasties. However, they were the dead whose time had long since stopped, and their hatred would not fade with the change of dynasties. Carved Mill added: “You are suspicious, I want to ask you something. You can’t go down there. Shame on the others!”

Then there was no way out. Xie Ren was about to jump first without doing anything, but then he saw Sanlang on the side take a step forward. His heart skipped a beat and he turned back.

The teenager clasped his arms and surveyed the bottomless pit of sinners thoughtfully with an absent-minded gaze.

A not-so-good premonition arose in Xie Ren’s heart, saying, “Sanlang?”

Hearing him call out to each other, Miroku turned his head, smiled faintly, and said, “It’s fine.”

He took another step forward, his entire body already standing in an extremely dangerous place. Xie Ren’s heart and eyelids thumped as she said, “Wait, Sanlang, don’t move yet.”

At the edge of the heights, the hem of the boy’s red coat fluttered fiercely in the night wind. Miroku glanced at him, smiled, and said, “Don’t be afraid.”

Xie Ren said, “You …… retreat back first. I won’t be afraid if you back off.”

Miroku said, “There’s no need to worry. I’ll leave for a while. See you again soon.”

Xie Ren said, “You don’t ……”

Before the words fell, the teenager maintained the posture of holding his arms and took another step forward, lightly leaping and instantly disappearing into the unfathomable darkness.

The moment he leapt out, Ruoxi flew out from Xie Ren’s wrist, transforming into a white rainbow that wanted to coil around the teenager’s figure. However, the speed of the fall was so fast that the white silk did not even catch a piece of the corner of the coat before it dimly retracted. Xie Ren instantly knelt on top of the high wall and shouted at the bottom, “Sanlang!!!”

There’s no sound whatsoever.

After the teenager jumped, there was no sound whatsoever!

Beside him, on top of the high wall, many Half Moon soldiers shouted at each other, all shocked. What’s going on today, in the past you had to grab and throw in order to throw down, but today it’s taking turns grabbing and jumping down, not giving jumping but also jumping down by themselves?

That carving mill general shouted to calm them down, and Xie Ren saw that Ruoxi did not catch Sanlang, too late to think too much, collected it to the pit of sinners and leapt. Who knows, his body has already jumped to the mid-air, the back of the collar of the clothes is suddenly tight, so hanging in the air. Xie Ren looked back, the original carving mill general saw him also jumped down, actually is a long arm stretch, grabbed him, did not let him fall!

Xie Ren said: “You want to come also line, together down better.” The mind prompted, if the evil is like a white snake, swiftly around carve mill arm climb up, “brush brush brush” will be his whole person entangled. Carve mill see this white silk strange and unpredictable, as if into the essence, forehead black tendons rippled, body block muscle also instantly rose several times, seems to want to break the bundle of his Ruoxi. Xie Ren was in a stalemate with him, suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he scanned an extremely bizarre thing.

The body, which was hanging from the long pole, suddenly moved and raised its head slightly.

The group of Half Moon soldiers also noticed that the corpse moved, and they all shouted and swung their wolf-tooth sticks towards the corpse. And after that black-clothed girl moved for a moment, I don’t know how she managed to untie the rope that was hanging her, but suddenly she jumped down from the pole and sprinted towards this side.

She was like a black wind blowing through the eaves of the high wall, both fast and evil, and the soldiers were instantly swept by this evil wind, falling down the high wall with screams. Seeing his soldiers were swept down, fell into the pit of sinners, carved mill furiously cursed. His curses were extremely vulgar, probably using a lot of city slang, which Xie Ren did not understand very well. However, he understood the first sentence. What Carved Mill was cursing was, “It’s this bitch again!”

In the next moment, he couldn’t curse anymore because, with a sudden force, Xie Ren tugged him down the pit of sinners with him.

A pit of sin that you can’t climb out of if you fall in!

During his descent, the roar that Carving Mill let out almost shattered Xie Ren’s eardrums. He only had to collect Ruo Xie, kicking Carving Mill in the process to keep him away from him and protect his ears. Immediately afterward, he drove Ruoxi to leap upwards, hoping to grab onto something to cushion himself, or at least not fall too miserably when he landed.

However, this pit of sinners is repaired and that formation is also powerful, if the evil is not only unable to explore higher, but also nowhere to rely on in these high walls and four walls. Just when he thought he was going to fall into a flat piece of human cake embedded in the ground for days like countless times before, suddenly, in the darkness, there was a flash of silver light.

The next moment, there was a pair of hands that lightly caught him.

That person accurately and incomparably caught a square, almost like guarding the bottom specifically waiting to pick him up, one hand around his back, wrapped around his shoulders, the other hand copied the bend of his knees, easily eliminated Xie Ren’s ferocious momentum from the high altitude of the fall.

Xie Ren had just fallen from a high place and gave a violent start, still a little dizzy, subconsciously raised his hand and tightly wrapped it around the other’s shoulder, saying, “Sanlang?”

With darkness all around him, he couldn’t see anything, and he certainly couldn’t see who this person was, however, he still shouted out these two words off the top of his head. The other party did not reply, and Xie Ren felt around his shoulders and chest a few times, wanting to confirm, saying, “Sanlang, is that you?”

I don’t know if it is because of the bottom of the pit, the bloody gas here is so heavy that it can make people fainted a few times. Xie Ren also do not know how the situation, all the way up to touch carelessly, touching the hard knot of the person’s throat suddenly woke up, and said sin sin sin, what is this doing, immediately drew back his hand, said: “It’s Sanlang, right? Are you alright? Are you hurt?”

After a long time, he finally heard the teenager’s response, coming from very close to him in a deep voice: “It’s okay.”

For some reason, Xie Ren felt that his voice in this sentence seemed subtly different from his usual.
