Chapter 111: Spy within a Spy

The Prison Warden, having turned into a zombie, raised the barbed, blood-dripping leather whip in his hand and threatened the crowd.

A Pet Beast Master without a Pet Beast is just a naked, plucked chicken; any first-tier Exotic Beast could put them to death.

But the people of the Resurrection Society clearly forgot one point: they sealed the Pet Beast Space, but they could not seal the skills inherent to the Pet Beasts themselves.

The stronger the Pet Beasts' strength, the stronger their inherent skills will be.

Like Ye Bai using the Steel Transformation skill now, if the zombie's whip lashed onto his body, it would likely only damage Ye Bai's clothes.

His entire body was as hard as a copper wall and iron bastion; ordinary second-tier Pet Beasts could not affect him at all.

After being threatened by the zombie Prison Warden, everyone became much more obedient.

Most importantly, there was only one meal a day, and everyone was so hungry they had no strength left to stir up trouble.

Especially Sun Feng, who had originally said that even his family's dog wouldn't eat this kind of stuff, but when he was truly hungry, he had no energy to think at all and basically ate whatever he could find.

His massive "true fragrance" moment was just a huge joke.

Ye Bai still had plenty of food in his Pet Beast Space, but for the sake of his own plan, Ye Bai thought about it and gave up on the idea.

Now is not the time to alert the enemy; anyway, if we're hungry, we'll all just be hungry together.

These people's mouths were all like leaky walls, especially Sun Feng; Ye Bai was afraid this guy would cause trouble.

After being hungry for a day, everyone obediently lay on the ground; some fell asleep, while others tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Ye Bai, however, had a clear head; he was waiting for the latest intelligence.

Zhang Lingxue and the others had already secretly infiltrated Longhe City during the night.

It was just that someone had cast a Barrier over the underground passage, and the Sun Flower King's signal was intermittent.

The Sun Flower was like an old person's mobile phone connected to a 2G network, losing contact with its main body from time to time.

Their search progress began to slow down, but they were not far from the underground passage now.

"I don't know when the Resurrection Society's Blood Sacrifice will begin, but we must find the whereabouts of those students as soon as possible; for every day we are late, they are in that much more danger!"

Association President Zhang said sternly.

At this moment, the Sun Flower received a key piece of information from the Sun Flower King, and its expression became strange.

"What's wrong, Sun Flower? What key information did the main body send you again?"

Zhang Lingxue asked the Sun Flower.

The Sun Flower pointed downwards, leaped into the air, and jumped down.

"Is there something down here?"

"Or have we already found the location?"

Zhang Lingxue patted the Guangming Nüshen Die on the head, and the Guangming Nüshen Die then descended from the air.

Afterwards, it followed the Sun Flower in a certain direction.

Not long after walking, Zhang Lingxue discovered that she was lost.

Thick fog appeared all around, and only she and the Sun Flower were left following, while everyone else had disappeared.

"Is this a Barrier?"

Zhang Lingxue asked curiously.

However, she was completely clueless when it came to the subject of Barriers.

The Sun Flower crawled onto Zhang Lingxue, pointing ahead; it could sense the location of its main body.

"You mean if I follow you, I'll be able to find them?"

The Sun Flower nodded, revealing an incredibly honest and simple look.

"Fine, I'll follow you over there then."

"Let's get there first and save the students before worrying about anything else."

"The others must have also fallen into an Illusion Array; let's just go ahead."

Zhang Lingxue was a fifth-tier peak Pet Beast Master, so she naturally did not fear the people of the Resurrection Society; at the same time, Zhang Lingxue had a trump card left to her by Principal Zhang.

As this was a stronghold of the Resurrection Society, when Zhang Lingxue and the others fell into the Illusion Array, they were detected by an old man.

"It seems our stronghold has been leaked."

This old man looked very old, with white hair and a beard that dragged on the ground.

His jaw was deeply sunken, making him look like a skeleton draped in skin.

"The Spirit Saint Son warned me not to let the Blood Saint Son have any chance of a comeback, which is why I have been lurking in the team secretly for sixteen whole years."

"We all thought the Blood Saint Son was dead, but in the end, he still came back to life."

"Now the Blood Saint Son is preparing to hold the Blood Sacrifice ceremony, and the Blood Pool in his hand is an important treasure."

"Letting these people in now will only alert the enemy; it would be better to wait until the time of the Blood Sacrifice."

The old man stroked his beard and continued to analyze: "By then, in order to ensure the Blood Sacrifice proceeds smoothly, the Blood Saint Son will certainly expose quite a few of his trump cards."

"I can then seize the opportunity to steal the Blood Pool."

"Since the Blood Knight and the Black Knight have been secretly guarding against me for so long, I can only have the Elder take action to transfer you away from here."

"Sorry, brothers, I can only let you stay here until the night of the full moon two days from now."

The old man laughed sinisterly.

Soon, Association President Zhang and the others also discovered something was wrong; this was actually a large-scale Barrier, and a large-scale Barrier being manipulated by someone at that.

"Oh no, the people from the Resurrection Society must have discovered us; we must break this Barrier as soon as possible and rescue the students."

Unfortunately, among these people, there really wasn't anyone who had studied Barriers, so they could only run around like headless flies.

At dawn.

The news updated.

【1. The Resurrection Society has set up a large-scale Barrier. The guard responsible for sensing at the Barrier is an undercover agent for the Spirit Saint Son. He plans to let these people in when the Blood Saint Son holds the sacrifice on the night of the full moon, and then take advantage of the chaos to steal the Blood Pool.】

【2. A drop of Dragon Soul blood in the Blood Pool, when it falls onto the Dragon Slaying Sword, can stimulate the spirituality of the Dragon Slaying Sword and gather the Dragon Soul that the Dragon Slaying Sword has slain, which can increase the success rate of Awakening Spirit.】

【3. The Blood Saint temporarily stimulates the energy of the Blood Pool, which can cultivate a Tier 5 Pet Beast, the Dark Night Blood Bat Emperor. Its Lijua contains Highly Toxic, its sound waves can pierce human eardrums, and at the same time, it can manipulate the blood in a human body.】

【4. Below the stronghold where the Resurrection Society is located, there is a Ten Thousand Year Cold Pool. At the bottom of the cold pool, there is a Tier 5 treasure, Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade. During a great battle, the floor will be smashed through, revealing the sight of the cold pool.】

【5. The Dark Night Blood Bat Emperor has a fatal weakness, which is that its left ventricle is its death point. As long as one uses a sharp weapon to fiercely pierce its left ventricle, the Dark Night Blood Bat Emperor will vanish into smoke.】

This piece of intelligence is quite powerful, indirectly indicating that Zhang Lingxue and the others have already arrived here, only to be trapped within the Barrier.

The person responsible for guarding the Barrier is a mole for the Spirit Saint, so the affairs of the Pet Beast Master guild will not be exposed.

He will also let the people from the Pet Beast Master guild in during the process of the Blood Sacrifice.

It seems that there is a competitive relationship between the Saints.

Furthermore, this piece of intelligence also revealed the weakness of the Dark Night Blood Bat Emperor.

And this guy was only birthed because the Saint used the power of the Blood Pool, which proves that the Saint's subordinates are basically all below Tier 5.

Otherwise, the Saint would not have been forced to this point.

"Very good, the Information System has provided a lot of favorable information."

"This can make my plan become even more complete."

Throughout the night, gurgling sounds came from the prison cells.

Many people were so hungry that their stomachs were churning with acid.

When the next day arrived, the Prison Warden had been changed again.

This time it became an old woman.

The things sent over were finally not rotten, and the presentation was much more refined.

Ye Bai took two steamed buns as usual, then took a bowl of thin porridge and leaned against the wall.

Through his nose, he could distinguish that Sleep Herb had been placed in this thin porridge.

"What exactly do these people want to do?"

Ye Bai drank it all in one gulp, and then he pretended to faint on the ground.

The Flower Nectar of the Sunflower King can neutralize the medicinal properties of the Sleep Herb; very soon, the bowls in many people's hands fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

"You swine, before holding the ceremony, you must wash your bodies clean."

"Only then will the Demon God not be angry, and only then will he not send down divine punishment."

"Man-eating Flower, carry these people out."

A huge, three-meter-tall Man-eating Flower appeared; it had many heads.

Its body was wrapped in many vines.

The vines slid like pythons, rolling everyone up.

It dragged everyone on the ground as if they were corpses.

Ye Bai felt that his back was quite uncomfortable from being poked by the hard stones on the ground.

But he still forcibly held on, not daring to reveal any flaws.

Very soon, he was brought to an underground pool.

This is the water of an underground river, ice-cold and bone-chilling.

Ye Bai was smashed into the water by the vines, and he immediately shivered; this was just too cold.

Some small fish swam over and were gnawing on some dead skin on Ye Bai's body.

Ye Bai felt like he was a head of cabbage, being scrubbed a few times in the water and then fished back out.

After repeating this several times, Ye Bai became completely indifferent and just lay flat.

After the cleaning was about done, the old woman's voice, sounding like a bellows, reached his ears.

"These two people are the ones the Saint specifically instructed to be executed by slow slicing to serve as a warning to others."

"Later, you will lock them up separately; absolutely do not let them out."

"If they escape, you will only be destroyed by the furious Saint."

The old woman pointed at Ye Bai and Li Chen and instructed.

Seeing the Man-eating Flower greedily open its mouth, revealing a deep red tongue, it seemed to want to swallow Ye Bai directly, but thinking of its Pet Beast Master's words, it could only give up.

Not a single sacrifice can be missing; perhaps after the night of the sacrifice, it might still be able to eat some leftovers.

The taste of that fresh blood is something the Man-eating Flower will never forget in its life.

Seeing that everyone was cleaned, the Man-eating Flower began the same operation as before, dragging everyone on the ground and sending them to the prison cells.

Ye Bai!!!

(へ╬) What is the difference between us being washed or not by your actions? Is it just that we went through a round of cold water?

You are being greatly disrespectful to the respected Sixty-Ninth Pillar Demon God Dankalabi!

Unfortunately, the Man-eating Flower could not hear Ye Bai's inner thoughts.

It just dragged Ye Bai and Li Chen separately and threw them into a separate prison cell.

There were many white bones in this cell, and quite a few rats were drilling in and out of the skulls, making squeaking sounds.

After the Man-eating Flower saw the rats, it immediately became greedy.

The Man-eating Flower opened one of its mouths and took a deep breath at these rats; the white bones and the panicked rats were sucked into the Man-eating Flower's mouth together.

Only a sound of chewing was heard, and flesh and blood mixed with white bones flowed out from the gaps between the Man-eating Flower's teeth.

It nodded with satisfaction, locked the prison door tightly, and crawled toward the distance.

Li Chen scrambled up from the ground, and he happened to see Ye Bai opening his eyes.

"Holy crap, Ye Bai, you weren't asleep either."

Li Chen said with a fuss.

"I didn't drink that bowl of porridge; I used a concealment technique to pour it out."

"You heard what that old woman said just now, right?"

"That son of a bitch He Qingyuan wants to execute us by slow slicing."

"Do you think we should take a gamble?"

"I've already received a message from the Sunflower King; people from the Pet Beast Guild are already above us."

"They are currently working hard to find a way to enter this place."

"Fatty, should we summon our courage and pull off something big?"

"Even if we lose, we're just a piece of mud anyway!"

Ye Bai tempted the fatty.

"Ye Bai, you haven't forgotten my talent, have you?"

"With this talent of mine, I'm not afraid of doing anything; even if I were to poke a hole in the sky, I would have no fear."

"Hehe, actually, it's you, Ye Bai, who gave me this courage."

"As long as you're here, I don't have to use my brain and can just follow your instructions with peace of mind."

Ye Bai smiled: "Didn't your brain already run away from home?"

"By the way, Li Chen, try to see if you can use your Pet Beast Space?"

Ye Bai had just used his Insight Eye to break the restriction.

Li Chen should be able to open his Pet Beast Space now.

This way, the Boxing Rabbit can be summoned.

This is one of the key elements to angering Dankalabi.

"It works, I can connect to my Pet Beast Space."

Li Chen took two cucumbers directly out of his Pet Beast Space; these were Jade Cucumbers.

They only grow in the Sky Vegetable Garden and possess significant value.

Taking a bite, one can feel the abundant juice and a sweetness like Flower Nectar, just like eating a honeydew melon.

This kind of cucumber is very good for women, able to make their skin supple, bouncy, and firm.

Even Li Chen doesn't have many of these in stock.

"Foster Father, please!"

Ye Bai took the cucumber without standing on ceremony.

Since it was a filial offering from his foster son anyway, it would be a waste not to eat it.

"Ye Bai, I see you look so confident; what plan do you have in mind? Can you tell me?"

"I feel a bit panicked inside."

Li Chen crunched on the Jade Cucumber, wanting to figure out what escape plan Ye Bai had.

Ye Bai came to save them, so they couldn't just die here.

"Li Chen, wait until tomorrow morning, and I will reveal the plan; I still need to think it over."

"Go to sleep once you're full; don't let others see that your Pet Beast Space can already be opened."

Ye Bai wanted to finish reading tonight's intelligence before checking for gaps and making improvements.

Very soon, it was early morning, and the intelligence refreshed once again.

Seeking votes.
