This female leader is a little bit stronger

"They are controlled by drugs." The little beggar suddenly said from the side.

Ning Ye looked at his face, which was blackened with charcoal ash, and felt it was a bit irritating, so she looked away again, "How did you know?"

The little beggar did not answer, but instead warned, "If food is brought to you, don't eat it."

"Oh." Ning Ye found an empty seat and sat down, pretending to be concerned and asking, "Is your brother among these people?"

The little beggar's eyelashes trembled, and he lowered his eyes and replied, "No."

"Don't worry, I'll find a chance to sneak out and help you look for it later." Ning Ye said.

The little beggar pinched the corner of his clothes with his fingers and said nothing.

But another voice suddenly rang out from inside the room, "Get out? Can you sneak out?"

Ning Ye looked at the person who was speaking. It was a little fat boy who was sitting at the innermost part of the bunk bed, with a dazed look in his eyes.

But when he heard what Ning Ye said, his eyes immediately focused, and he squeezed through the others, his fat body nimbly coming out, "Are you an undercover? You must be the one sent by that guy to rescue me, right? He's waiting outside?"

Ning Ye didn't know who the guy he was talking about was, but that didn't stop her from asking. She nodded and said solemnly, "Yes, Master, I'm here to save you!"

"You're finally here!"

The little fat boy couldn't hold back his tears anymore, rushed over, hugged Ning Ye with his chubby arms, and burst into tears, "Please tell my dad when you go back, I know I was wrong, and I will never run away from home again, wuwu~~"

Ning Ye: ...

The little beggar turned his head and muttered to himself, where did this fool come from?

The little fat boy looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, fair and tender, well-dressed, and looked like a person of status. He was locked up with this group of children, but not only was he not controlled by drugs, he also knew how to pretend to be crazy and stupid, which was enough to prove that he was very smart.

We should be able to get some useful information from him.

After the little fat boy calmed down, Ning Ye began to question him: "What have you experienced here? Are all the children imprisoned here? Tell me everything you know."

The little fat boy wiped his tears and started to hiccup after he stopped crying.

He rubbed his stomach sheepishly and asked, "Excuse me, do you have anything to eat?"

Ning Ye took out a roasted sweet potato and gave it to him. The little fat boy gobbled it up, then took the gourd and drank a sip of water. He realized it belatedly and smacked his lips. "Why is your water so sweet?"

"You haven't eaten or drunk anything for a long time, so you have an illusion. Don't you think roasted sweet potatoes are delicious too?" Ning Ye said casually.

The little fat man nodded, thinking that this made sense.

If this were at home, he wouldn't even look at low-quality food like sweet potatoes.

"I was captured ten days ago..."

The little fat boy began to recall the painful memories, his expression showing pain. "I wanted to resist at first, but I was beaten up and they fed me drugs. All my belongings were taken away. Fortunately, I had the antidote pills my father gave me. I hid them in a very secret place, and those people didn't find them. I took the antidote pills and kept looking for a chance to escape, but the group of people outside were too powerful. I couldn't escape at all, so I had to play dumb. I didn't dare to eat their food. These ten days were really torturous for me!"

"You haven't eaten or drunk anything for ten days?" Ning Ye was shocked.

He looked up and down at the little fat guy who didn't look exhausted at all.

Is this reasonable?

The little fat man seemed to not understand why she asked this. Isn't it normal for people with cultivation to not eat for ten days or half a month?

He was only tormented because he was fat and gluttonous.

The little beggar interrupted, "After entering the Qi Condensation stage, the body gradually sheds its mortal form and no longer relies on worldly food. When you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, not eating for a year won't be a big deal. If you can't get used to the feeling of an empty stomach, you can take a Qigong pill."

Ning Ye frowned. Is that so?

So why is her situation different?

Oh, Ning Ye remembered that he seemed to have no spiritual roots.

"Can you practice without spiritual roots?"

The little beggar looked at her deeply and said, "No."

Ning Ye stopped asking questions and turned the topic back to the little fat boy. "Go on."

The fat boy looked at the two people and felt something strange in his heart, but he didn't think about it too much. He said, "They take two people away every day. Sometimes they send them back, and sometimes they don't."

Ning Ye's heart sank. The child that was not sent back was probably...

I glanced at the countdown.

[Mission countdown: 19 hours and 17 minutes]

At this moment, the sound of the door opening was heard, and the little fat boy sat back in his original position in an instant, looking stupid and with a dazed look in his eyes.

Ning Ye and the little beggar squatted in the corner, showing fear and helplessness that fit the situation.

The person who came in glanced at the children in the room, and finally stopped at the innermost one. The little fat boy's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He was a little panicked and shouted in his heart: Don’t look at me, don’t look at me!

As a result, the more you fear something, the more it will happen. The man reached out, grabbed the fat boy's collar and pulled him out.

The little fat boy's pupils trembled and he almost cried out loud.

Ning Ye secretly thought that something was wrong. Suddenly he stood up and ran out in a panic, shouting in horror: "I want to go home, I want to go home..."

"Smelly girl, where are you running to!"

The man cast a spell, and Ning Ye happened to "accidentally" twist his ankle, and fell to the ground with a cry, narrowly avoiding the spell attack.

"You're lucky!" The man came over carrying the little fat boy, and with his free hand, he picked up Ning Ye and said with a sneer, "I didn't want to choose you, but I let you run away. You can only blame yourself."

Ning Ye whimpered twice and stopped resisting, as if he was scared silly.

The little fat boy glanced at Ning Ye with gratitude. Knowing that her action was to protect herself, he felt much more at ease.

Well, when he gets home, he will definitely tell his father that he must give this girl more money!

The man carried the two men to the top floor of the attic and said respectfully, "Left Envoy, the men are here."

Soon, an old voice was heard: "Send them in."

With a creak, the tightly closed door opened automatically, and a strong smell of medicine hit me in the face.

Before Ning Ye had time to think about it, he was sent in.

The room was spacious and had many shelves filled with bottles, jars, and various medicinal herbs.

Inside there is a long table with a pestle and a medicine furnace.

A hunched figure stood busy at the long table.

The man quietly sent the person in and left quietly, not daring to make any unnecessary noise for fear of disturbing the old man.

Ning Ye and the little fat boy sat together on the ground, each carefully observing the situation.

The little fat guy was mainly looking at the terrain to ensure that if a fight broke out, he would have a safe place to run.

Ning Ye looked at the old man and was secretly shocked.

Such a powerful pressure, what is his cultivation level?

Could it be the golden elixir above the foundation building stage?

Oh My God.

I was so panicked, I felt like the other person could crush me to death with just one finger!
