C3925 Unwillingness!
The sound of knocking on the wall could be heard everywhere in the cave. The passageways were intersecting, and each one was bottomless. No one knew where the passage led to. It was like a huge spider web. Those who did not know would definitely be lost in it.
Furthermore, there were two soldiers guarding each entrance to the passageway. From the looks of it, every time someone came in and out, they would check their luggage and everything on their bodies. It was as if they were afraid that they would bring something with them. The more they did so, the more Gu Huang's attention was drawn to them.
What was the purpose of the foreign race? This was just an ordinary mountain range. Furthermore, there were no Elemental Stones or ores here. Wasting so much manpower and resources was not just to find the ancient corpse and altar! Even if they did exist, why didn't these foreign races directly find a few experts to ensure that they could flatten the entire mountain range? Why did they have to use these commoners to open the mountain?
There must be a reason for this abnormality. Gu Huang's face revealed a hint of suspicion. Who were these people? Miners had directly snuck in. There was a cross-shaped passage in front of them. There was no one guarding it, and they could not hear any knocking sounds from inside.
Everyone looked at the cross-shaped passage in fear. They all turned into a small tunnel on the side. Gu Huang was about to leave the team and sneak in to see what was going on, but a few figures walked out from inside. The leader was a person who was surrounded by fog and had a powerful cultivation at the True Human Stage.
"Listen up, everyone. No one is allowed to enter. Anyone who dares to sneak in will be killed without mercy. The slaves from this batch are no longer useful. We have to contact them to send over a batch of better ones. The last value of these people is their Qi and blood."
"Yes, Lord Chief. We will do our best to guard it." One of the Orc generals spoke out directly, revealing a hint of killing intent on his face.
The other generals also followed suit. None of them dared to disobey the orders of the person in front of them. After all, this person was not simple and had absolute power.
Gu Huang knew in his heart that there was a secret hidden in this cross-shaped passageway. Or perhaps, these Outlanders were brewing some conspiracy. However, one thing was certain. It was that someone was colluding with them. Was this Outlander Chief referring to a person or a force?
Several days passed in a row. Gu Huang endured the curiosity in his heart. According to his observations during the past few days and the arrangement of the passageways, a huge rune array was vaguely formed. However, he had yet to see the whole picture. Therefore, Gu Huang could not see anything for the time being. However, he already had an idea in his heart. This rune array was very evil. It was definitely related to the Spirit Attraction. Furthermore, the core area was definitely in the cross-shaped passageway. He had to find an opportunity to take a look.
"Young Master, it has been seven days. Hundreds of people have died again. These damn outsiders, Young Master, as long as you give the order, even if I have to sacrifice my cultivation for ten thousand years, I will kill all of them. These bastards are really bullying the Human Clan!"
The killing intent in Feng Liezi's heart was soaring, giving off an extremely terrifying aura. After all, he had been holding back his anger for three days. Hundreds of people had all died in front of him, so how could he endure it?
"Old madman, I said that the more it is at this time, the calmer I have to be. Is it worth sacrificing ten thousand years of cultivation for these outsiders? What is their goal? There is no clue at all. Who is colluding with them? We don't know anything about it. Aren't you curious? These outsiders have been in this place for decades. Who exactly is helping them hide? Also, these tunnels seem messy, but they are concealing a deep meaning. Something big is going to happen. Even if I have to kill them, I will kill them in front of everyone in the world. "
Gu Huang's mind was immersed in the space of consciousness. Looking at Feng Liezi who was almost in a frenzy, he appeared incomparably calm.
"Young Master, I was impulsive, but I really can't take it anymore. They treat my Human Clan's people as livestock. No, they are worse than livestock. They humiliate, kill, Young Lord, no matter what, these three hundred thousand people, not a single one of them can live. I want all of them to die, and there is a space in my Heavenly Secret Records. Originally, Young Lord could only open it to you after you broke through to the Elemental Transformation Realm, but now, I can control this space and kill all of these bastards, not leaving a single one of them alive."
Feng Liezi was not a person who would easily get angry, but seeing his own clansmen die miserably in front of him, he was already furious to the point that his anger soared into the heavens. If it was not for Gu Huang suppressing him, he would have gone berserk a long time ago.
"Forget it, old madman, this is our trump card. Don't reveal it for now. Watch and see! When I figure out their goal, I will play all of them to death. Has the heart demon not woken up yet? Damn it, screw up at the critical moment. When he wakes up, I will make him taste the power of the Primordial Chaos Divine Fire."
Gu Huang was slightly angry in his heart. If the heart demon was not asleep, he would have figured out everything here. The ancient corpse and the altar were definitely hiding a monstrous conspiracy.
"Get up, all of you get up. You bastards, you are lucky today. The leader has given you a big reward. You have to be grateful, understand? Get up and eat. Hurry up and get up."
A series of gong sounds rang out, echoing throughout the entire cave. It could be seen that there were more than ten thousand soldiers of the foreign race. Each of them carried a huge basket in their hands, and the inside was filled with fragrance. It could be seen that there was wine and meat, as well as large steamed buns. Gu Huang had been here for three days, and he had been eating scraps of food every day.
Each of them stared at the large steamed buns below, their eyes as if they had seen a beauty. Some of them were drooling. If they were not afraid of these people, they would have rushed up a long time ago.
Gu Huang suddenly thought of this word in his heart. This was definitely the Head Cutting Rice. Moreover, eating the Head Cutting Rice meant death. It seemed that this group of people was really useless. However, what exactly were they going to do? The lives of hundreds of thousands of people, even if Gu Huang wanted to save them, he was powerless to do so.
Everyone was eating the meat and wine in front of them. Some of them were still sober. Even though they knew that it was the Head Cutting Rice, they still started to eat it. The shortest period of time here was a year, so they did not know what the taste of meat was like. They had encountered these meat and wine, and even if it was poison, they could still swallow it.
"Little brother, eat it! Eating a full stomach is better than starving to death. I have seen too many life and death situations. This group of people will be completely dead! I have been here for more than ten years, and this is the fifth time I have eaten the Head Cutting Rice. Eat it! Eat it! Perhaps you will still have a chance to live."
A middle-aged man with a messy beard, disheveled hair, and a naked upper body said. Gu Huang could see the scars on his body at a glance. It was not because he was beaten by someone, but because he was left behind on the battlefield. When Gu Huang looked at the middle-aged man's dantian and acupoints, they were completely sealed by the Spirit Secret Technique of the Succubus Clan. Moreover, this person actually had a cultivation at the Great Circle of the Divine Abilities Realm.
"Uncle, you are not an ordinary person either. How could you be wandering here?" Gu Huang was very curious. Such a person was definitely a general in the dynasty. Even in the empire, he could be a vanguard.
"Little brother, you are indeed extraordinary. I have been observing you for a few days. You are different from them. Although you look like that, the blood energy in your body cannot be hidden from me. I am from the military. Little brother, you have killed people, and you have killed quite a number of foreign races, right? Moreover, you are very angry in your heart, but you can still hold it in."
The middle-aged man grabbed a pot of wine and gulped it down. His lifeless gaze flickered with a bright light.
"Uncle, you are indeed wise. I accidentally entered this place and was caught by them. How did you get here?" Gu Huang maintained a level of vigilance in his heart. This person had been here for so long, but he was still not killed. Either he had a way to save his life, or he was bribed by the foreign race.
"Little brother, you will die sooner or later. Don't think too much about it. Even if you do, it's useless. Even if a ten times army came here, they would be killed. The foreign race would be more than happy to have an army to surround and annihilate them. Forget it, it's useless to tell you about these things. Little brother, I will give you a way to save your life. In a while, when you get inside, you have to do everything. Just fall to the ground and pretend to be dead. I guarantee that you will be able to survive."
The middle-aged man gulped down another mouthful of wine and did not speak again. However, there was a strange expression on his face. It was obvious that he was hiding something in his heart.
Pretending to be dead, Gu Huang's mouth twitched slightly. Could he really just watch as these hundreds of thousands of people died? But now, he was completely powerless to save them. Compared to the lives of these hundreds of thousands of people, there was something even more important, the final goal of the foreign race, the traitor of the Human Clan, all of this was just a clue. If these people were not captured, it would pose a greater threat to the Human Clan.
There were some things that had to be sacrificed. The only thing he could do was to avenge them. Gu Huang had lived for tens of thousands of years in his previous life, so he was indifferent to some things. When he returned to his youthful body in this life, he was completely powerless. He did not expect that the foreign race would act so quickly.
Hundreds of thousands of people were not just a few people. Hundreds of people. Gu Huang sighed slightly in his heart. Feng Liezi could clearly feel the change in Gu Huang's state of mind. "Young Master, are we just going to let it go like this? Hundreds of thousands of people, are we not going to save them and let the foreign race slaughter them? As long as I open the space, I can drag them away."
"Old madman, you can be considered an ancient existence. Don't you understand these things? It's not that I don't want to do it, but that I can't do it? If I do it, yes, I might be able to save them for a while, but it will also attract the attention of the traitor behind us. Do you think we still have a chance? Moreover, what kind of existence is underneath? You and I know nothing about it. What we can do for them is to take revenge. One life is worth a hundred lives."
Gu Huang had become cold-blooded, indifferent, and his heart was filled with killing intent. Sacrificing was unavoidable, and now was not the time to be soft-hearted. If the Human Clan wanted to rise up and reestablish the glory of the Emperor’s era, it would not be done with just words. It would require countless people to work together.
"But... I am really unwilling... Dozens of thousands of people... There are actually people outside who can be saved... Young Master... We can save them... "
Feng Liezi’s voice was filled with sorrow and helplessness. Gu Huang’s words were reasonable, and he was still lacking in strength. If he were to make a move, he would only alert the enemy. This was not worth it. Compared to the lives and deaths of the hundreds of thousands of people, destroying the traitors behind them was the most important thing.
There were some things that would not change just because of your will. You had to make a choice. Saving hundreds of thousands of people was not worth it compared to the lives and deaths of the entire Human Clan. Only by destroying the source could the Human Clan be saved. How could Feng Liezi not understand this? However, he was still unwilling.
He would never forget that when he was once a member of the Human Clan, those savage foreign races had taken over the Human Clan’s cities overnight. That was the result of a massacre. All the people of the Human Clan were killed, from the old to the young, without leaving a single person alive. They were all killed.
As the son of Scholar Gu Huang, he was the first to die in battle. However, his soul was unwilling to perish just like that. Instead, it was absorbed by the secret scripture of the heavens and became the Book Spirit. No one hated the foreign race more than him, and no one wanted to destroy the foreign race more than him. However, as the Book Spirit, he was already beyond the world of mortals. He could only watch and not do anything.
In his previous life, he had chased Gu Huang for ten thousand years. Although he had escaped many times, he had ultimately fallen into Gu Huang's hands in this life. He was the only one who dared to fight to the death with the foreign race. Even if he died in the end, he had no regrets. Now, he was really unwilling and unwilling to do anything.
However, how could he not understand the reason behind Gu Huang's words? If he wanted to completely eliminate the source of the Human Clan's calamity, then he had to endure it. It was not possible to not endure it.
"Young Master, I understand. I have a request. I want to kill these foreign bastards with my own hands. I want to kill them all."
Feng Liezi had thought about it for a long time. In terms of overall situation, he could not beat Gu Huang in this aspect. Unfortunately, he had to vent the anger in his heart.
"No problem. I will make them regret coming to this world and hide. Don't make any movements. I want to see what kind of extraordinary thing is hidden below."
Gu Huang's face clearly contained a hint of killing intent. Instead, he sat beside the middle-aged man and did not say a word.
"Human, are you done eating? It's time to go. Let's go!" The soldiers of the foreign race began to drive Gu Huang away. Each of them looked extremely excited. It was obvious that they had already treated killing the Human Clan as a kind of pleasure.
"Get up, it's time to go on the road. Go to hell on Huangquan Road! Hahaha! Human Clan's lowly species, your doom has arrived."
"All of you, get up. It's time to send you to hell. Get up! You bunch of bastards."
Over ten thousand soldiers of the foreign race all pulled out their weapons and began to drive them away. Their eyes were filled with incomparable ridicule.
A Human Clan citizen was already numb to it. To them, life and death were no different. It was just a matter of time before they died. Their eyes were filled with emptiness and despair. There was no sign of life at all.
"Little brother, stop looking. Even if these people are rescued, they won't have the motivation to live on. So death is their best fate. This is something that they can't do anything about. The few thousand brothers who followed me all those years ago are now left with me alone. There is no difference between dying early or late."
The middle-aged man seemed to have seen through Gu Huang's thoughts. He slapped Gu Huang's body a few times and his eyes revealed an incomparable concern.
