The Spirit World

Chapter 108: Suspicion

"Grandson!"

It's grandma's voice!

Jack forced himself to open his eyes and saw his grandmother with her hands tied up with chains. He looked around and saw more people like him. They were pale and thin, and looked like they had been hungry for a long time. There was also a group of people who seemed to be newly captured. They didn't look that thin, and they shouted for help, but no one responded.

They were all from different races, but they were all orcs, as expected. No Chinese or human people were imprisoned here.

Jack tried to break free from the chains, but with his thinner body than his peers, it was impossible to break free, and his grandmother was behind him. He couldn't turn around quickly, so he could only tilt his head and call her.

"Grandma, don't be afraid! Your grandson is here." Jack said firmly, trying to use his feet as a propulsion to turn his body again and face his grandmother. Although his grandmother was nearby, there was no way to get over there given the current situation. Even though the distance was not that short, it was almost impossible to get over there. However, he wanted to reassure his grandmother, so he kept trying.

No matter how loud he moved, no one looked at him. Those who were like him had no life on their faces, and even hung their heads helplessly. Sighs and cries mixed together, echoing loudly in the cave-like place.

"Hmm..." Grandma looked at him, some tears flowing in her old eyes.

"Stop struggling, it's useless. You look so weak, it's impossible for you to break free!" said a man with bull horns nearby, and sighed heavily. His nose was dry and a heavy breath came out. The young man from the bull tribe looked very old, but he was actually a young man. His skin was dark, and except for the horns on his head, he was basically no different from a normal person.

He ignored it and continued working.

"Where are we?" Jack said. He finally got into the right position and faced his grandmother. He then tried to get closer to her little by little, rubbing his butt on the ground and "walking" slowly.

"Hey! I've been here for three months! I don't even know where this is!" The Oxen brother's frustration seemed to be about to overflow, and he hung his head in dejection.

"This is the south side of Yuzhao Mountain. We were captured and brought here by the devil." A girl with sheep horns who was also here answered them.

Both of them looked at her, they both wanted to get more information.

"Demon King?"

"Yes, the legendary demon king has been resurrected! And there are seven of them!"

"Seven!" Jack was a little surprised.

"You haven't heard the story of the seven devils, have you?" Sister Yang was tied up, but because her body was even smaller, the chains seemed to have carved deep marks on her body. The red blood marks were very conspicuous on her exposed white skin. A streak of red and a patch of white, not to mention that her parents would feel distressed when they saw it, even for Jack, a stranger, it was a bit shocking.

Jack shook his head. Although they were captured, the light here was very bright. Apart from the fact that they were tied up with chains, there was no sign of fear that they would escape. There was even wind blowing in from the east. There were two strong men wearing masks guarding there, which was obviously the exit.

"I don't know..." Jack shook his head, and the young man from the Ox tribe looked at Jack in shock.

"In ancient times, the Seven Demon Kings harmed the spiritual world, causing great suffering to all living beings. Many people died at their hands." Sister Sheep said, turning her face to Jack. Her eyes were emerald green, mixed with the moisture in her eyes, like exquisite glass beads.

"You just need to know that they are very powerful. In ancient times, they almost enslaved all creatures in the spiritual world. However, no matter how powerful they were, they were still suppressed by ten gods in the Demon Sealing Well." Sister Yang shrugged and removed the chain from the wound. Obviously, the touch of the chain made the wound painful and itchy. She was in great pain, and this could only make her feel a little better.

"There are very few records about them, but now that they are back, we can only wait to die." Sister Yang said, looking at the guard door and continued: "Behind these two guards is the exit, but if you go behind it, there is almost no way out. Those who escaped all screamed and never came back. Now those who are left here are almost desperate."

She looked at those people who were sighing, feeling helpless and unwilling.

"Why are they doing this?" Jack asked. Beside him, almost no one had the energy to pay attention to him, except for Sister Sheep and Brother Cow.

Sister Yang shook her head and began to sigh.

Jack was a little disappointed. Although it was the first time he knew about the Seven Demon Kings, it had nothing to do with him. He couldn't just sit here and wait to die. He had to try to take his grandmother away.

Even though all the people who were captured here earlier than him had almost given up, those who were just captured here were just like him, anxiously asking about the situation here. It seemed that they were the only ones who were thinking about escaping.

"You'd better not think about going out again." Brother Niu said as if to remind him: "What the little sister from the sheep tribe said just now is right. The exit is right there. Although the two guards are very strong, they are like helpers. They will do everything they can to let those who want to escape escape. But there must be a terrifying thing waiting for those who are about to escape at the exit. Almost all of them will scream with horror. I have been here for so long, and I will never lie to you."

Obviously, this couldn't possibly scare Jack.

He is smaller in stature, so maybe he could slip away.

"You don't know why we are here, right?" Jack looked at Brother Cow and then at Sister Sheep. They both shook their heads helplessly.

"Then what about our food?" "They won't let us die, and they won't even let this place stink. When you're about to starve to death, someone will stuff food into your mouth and take you to the toilet. Many people take these two opportunities to escape. But..."

"Why? Did they just catch us here?"

"If I knew, no, even if I knew their intentions, it would be useless. After all, I don't know magic. I can't beat them." Brother Niu still maintained his spirits. Maybe this was why he cared about Jack. He looked optimistic enough.

"If you want to die here, the only way is to run away." Sister Yang originally turned her head away, but as if no one was talking and she didn't want to be bored, she still joined the conversation with this "peer who was just arrested."

"It's like a multiple-choice question with only one answer. Running away means death." Sister Yang said: "This place is like an altar, and we are the sacrifices..."

"Damn it, don't give up!" Jack struggled to grab the chains. Although he had no way to break free, he still said this.

"You'd better not think about running away... Here, they won't harm us, and we can have a meal occasionally, and we won't die... But as long as you go out, it's almost a dead end!" Brother Niu is still in good health and optimistic enough, so what he said is not unreasonable.

Being caught is a helpless thing. Compared to dying at the hands of those shadow hunters, living a life of imprisonment in chains is better than dying altogether.

"Don't you want to go out? Won't your family be worried?" Jack glanced at his grandmother in the distance. His grandmother looked a little tired and uncomfortable.

"I... I have no family. I'm the only one in my family... I grew up without knowing who my parents are! As long as I'm alive, that's enough." Brother Niu's optimism is very inappropriate.

"..." Jack didn't want to listen any more. He looked at the sheep sister who was resting with her eyes closed. The sheep sister knew what he meant and shook her head: "My parents abandoned me just because of these eyes."

Jack was a little sad, because he had nothing, and only his grandmother to depend on. His grandmother told him that his parents had just gone out, to a very far place. He saw through it, but didn't say it out loud.

"Is there no relatives here?" Jack asked.

"It seems... it is indeed true. Those who were arrested with me all said so. Those present were either the elderly, the weak, the sick, or the lonely and helpless." Brother Niu replied.

"..." Jack was a little stunned.

Sighs and occasional crying sounds echoed in the cave. He looked at the sheep sister, and the sheep sister just shook her head.

"It's useless. We will never be able to get out. If we want to get out, there is only one way to go: death."

After saying this, Sister Yang leaned against the wall. They couldn’t take a rest as there was almost nothing for them to do.

Because they are lonely, basically no one knows where they are going, and even if they leave a place, no one will care.

Even if they disappear from this world.

Here, there is only despair.

This kind of despair did not happen overnight, but was accumulated by everyone who wanted to escape and succeeded.

Their screams accumulated and reached everyone's mind, shocking them and making them even more desperate.

despair.

I have considered why Rabbit is called Jack...

It’s not that I can’t think of a name…

The "cultivation" in the cultivation chapter means that Chang Yufeng gained power, but unfortunately, his memory was deleted.

Now, let’s talk about spring, which is around February. Chang Yufeng has been in Bailing Mountain for more than half a year.

The whole book is already one-tenth, and I had to compress the chapters. Because Chang Yufeng is still a taciturn person and has not opened his heart, it would be weird to write about daily funny things. The reality is the same. Almost no one will inexplicably care about the true heart of others. For a passerby, Chang Yufeng's character of hiding things in his heart was written by me chapter by chapter, and his knot in his heart will also be opened by me chapter by chapter.

He is still young and needs to experience more.
