Water drops dripped from the walls, and black twisted plants and moss grew in the corners.
After waking up from a coma, Su Nian opened his eyes and immediately realized that his situation was not good.
The air here was filled with a damp and musty smell, mixed with a choking rancid odor that made him shudder.
The severe pain radiating from his limbs made him lower his head subconsciously.
Suddenly, he found that his limbs had been pierced by iron hooks and were suspended in mid-air. The iron chains made a cold metal collision sound as his body shook.
Beside him, there were hundreds of figures hanging in the air with their bodies pierced. Their eyes were dull, as if they had been eroded by the darkness of this dungeon.
Looking up, strange utensils were scattered around. There were dried blood stains on the rusty iron pliers and hooks. Several mutilated and rotting corpses were piled in the corner, being slowly devoured by twisted plants.
The whole prison was filled with the smell of death and despair, which made people shudder.
Su Nian tried to break free from the restraints, but severe pain hit him as his body shook, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
At the same time, a cold aura emerged from the iron chain and poured into his body, making him shiver uncontrollably.
This made Su Nian realize that he was in big trouble.
This time is no different than before, he has become a prisoner, and you can imagine how difficult it is to escape from this dungeon.
But he didn't understand why the undead creatures didn't kill him and chose to imprison him here to wait for death.
In the cold environment at this time, there was only the sound of friction and collision between water droplets and the swaying iron chains. His dim vision could not see the scene in the distance, which made him feel even heavier.
At this moment, a figure came from the darkness in the distance.
It is about 1.5 meters tall, has gray-white skin and gray pores, is hairless, and has a skinny body that makes it look very ferocious and ugly.
It dragged a half-meter-long metal hook in its left hand and a large wooden barrel in its right hand, limping to him.
Just when Su Nian was confused, the gray-white figure raised his hand and without hesitation pierced his chest with the iron hook in his hand.
"Your mother...!"
Blood suddenly spurted from the wound and slid towards the barrel in the gray-white figure's hand.
After receiving a small bucket of blood, the gray-white figure withdrew the iron hook, and then spit out a cloud of gray mist towards his chest. After contact with his wound, it turned into a transparent liquid and adhered to his wound.
Seeing this scene, Su Nian finally understood why he was not killed on the spot.
There are two types of resource lands in the domain world, namely renewable resource lands and non-renewable resource lands.
But there is also a kind of special resource land that human race has never had before. This kind of resource land is not naturally bred, but created after tomorrow.
The faith database records information about many special resources created, one of which is called the "blood slave" resource.
The resources produced by the Blood Slave Resource Land are not naturally produced spiritual springs, spiritual mines, spiritual plants, etc., but are composed of flesh and blood creatures in the domain.
Cultivating this type of resource requires capturing flesh and blood life on a large scale and imprisoning them to regularly harvest blood.
It has been recorded in the faith database that the Mists before coming to the human world also raised blood slaves, but the method was relatively gentle and they adopted mental control instead of direct imprisonment.
Thinking of this, Su Nian's expression changed.
He shuddered when he realized that he had become a blood slave of the Necrons and would endure endless harvesting of flesh and blood in the future.
But now his body is completely restrained and there is no possibility for him to break free.
At this time, the thin gray-skinned figure dragged the wooden barrel to the blood slave who was hanging next to him, harvested the blood in the same way, and after completing the harvest, it sprayed gray mist to cover the wound, so that the wound would no longer bleed.
During this period, if a blood slave is found dead, the thin, gray-skinned figure will brutally dismember the hanging person with an iron hook and throw it into a corner.
After doing all this, the thin, gray-skinned figure dragged the barrel away.
After a long time, it turned back again, and this time the barrel it dragged was filled with twisted black plants.
After the gray-white undead creatures smashed the plants in the barrel, they came to them and began to feed them one by one.
Su Nian did not resist the feeding and immediately swallowed the black plant residue.
He understands that in a desperate situation, resistance will only bring physical torture, but cooperation can save energy and look for opportunities to escape.
…
the next period of time.
Su Ming tried various ways to escape, but they all failed.
He was completely reduced to a blood slave raised by the undead. His blood was harvested regularly, and his daily food was plants full of rotten smell.
Although this kind of plant tastes disgusting, it is full of spiritual energy and will not kill him.
Occasionally, a new life of flesh and blood will be sent to him, his body will be cruelly pierced, and he will be hung in the air like him.
Days like this cannot see the future and are full of despair.
But Su Nian did not give up. He felt that his journey should not end here, and there was still a world far away waiting for him to explore.
In a dark environment, negative emotions breed inside.
He can't practice flesh and blood sacrifice here because there are no resources for him to practice.
If he forcibly practices flesh and blood sacrifice without resources, his body will eat his own energy and blood, and he will easily die suddenly.
Struggle day after day from now on.
Su Nian suffered unimaginable torture in his heart. He gradually recognized the reality and realized that he would probably never get out again.
While feeling disheartened, he lamented in his heart.
He thought that such a day would come.
After all, the journey cannot always be smooth sailing, and death is always present along the way.
Faced with life-and-death crises countless times, he could never escape in a narrow escape.
During this period, the body became increasingly weak, the lips became pale, and occasionally there was a brief coma.
Realizing that he might not be able to hold on any longer, Su Nian had an idea.
When this idea emerges in my heart, it burns like a fire.
Since you have to die, you must die well and contribute your final value to the future of the human race.
When the gray-skinned undead came to life again, Su Nian took the initiative to talk to him.
Finding that the gray-skinned undead beings ignored him, Su Nian began to change the domain language in an attempt to establish communication with them.
After changing more than ten domain languages in succession, he changed to a language in the demon world:
"Hey, can you understand what I'm saying?"
During this inquiry, the gray-skinned undead creature suddenly raised its head and looked at him, its eyes full of confusion, and it even forgot about the life above that was still bleeding.
"Are you... calling me?"
The voice of the undead being is very hoarse, and he speaks stumblingly, and he seems to be unable to master his native language.
"Yes, can we talk?"
"Gulu... To complete the master's mission, we can't... chat."
With that said, the undead being who called himself Gulu found that the blood slave above him was still bleeding, and immediately started to stop the bleeding in a hurry.
After a brief conversation, Su Nian discovered that although this undead being was very cruel in his methods, his mind seemed immature.
Su Nian did not speak again, but waited for Gulu to finish drawing blood and bring the twisted plant to feed, and then took the initiative to talk to him again.
This time Gulu did not refuse, but looked at him curiously, as if he did not understand why he could speak his own language.
Facing his series of questions, Gulu quickly left impatiently.
Realizing that he had acted too hastily, Su Nian was upset, but he knew that he still had a chance.
A few days later, Gulu came again to harvest blood.
After Gulu finished his work, Su Nian took the initiative and said:
"Gulu, let me tell you about the outside world. You have never been to the outside world, right?"
"Story?" Gulu asked curiously.
"Yes, I will tell you a story."
Hearing that Su Nian was about to tell a story, Gulu nodded stupidly, came to sit in front of him and hugged his knees, looking at him intently.
Seeing that Gulu was finally willing to contact him, Su Nian finally let go of his worries.
He knew that his first step had been successful.
Next, he began to tell many stories about his journey.
The forest giant field with blooming green plants, the thousand-meter peak covered by ice and snow, the flaming mountains flowing with lava...the scenes described are only secondary. During this period, he combined with human fairy tales to weave many interesting stories.
This made Gulu gradually become curious about the outside world.
Occasionally when there is no need to be busy, Gulu will take the initiative to come and sit in front of him and listen to him telling stories about the outside world.
As he gradually became familiar with it, Su Nian also learned from Gulu about the situation of the domain forces that imprisoned it.
Gulu didn't know the name of this domain. He only knew that the ethnic group he belonged to was called "Shuo Mu Clan".
This ethnic group has a very strict hierarchical system.
There are four levels in total.
The first level is called the Death Song, which is the royal class in the Shuo Mu Clan. It controls all the resources of the Shuo Mu Clan and is also the most powerful ethnic group in the Shuo Mu Clan.
The second level is called the dead brains, which are the nobles of the Shuosu tribe. The masters in Gulu's mouth are the dead brain class.
The third class is called the Death Stone, which is the warrior class among the Shuoyu tribe. It is responsible for wars externally and maintaining the dominance of the top class internally.
The fourth class is the undead class where Gulu belongs. They are slaves of the three classes above. Although they belong to the same race, they have no status. They take orders from the three classes above and have no power to independently decide the future. They are generally responsible for the final outcome.
Low-level work.
Gulu's job is to travel among the four blood slave farms, regularly harvesting the blood produced by the blood slaves for the upper levels for them to suck.
The division of labor in the entire society is very strict, and no matter how talented the people at the bottom are, there is no possibility of rising up the class.
In Gollum's story, his mother and father were also undead slaves, but they had not met many times. It was just the master's task to give birth to it.
It can be seen that Gulu is not dissatisfied with his humble background, and his words are full of respect for his master and fear of the superior.
This made Su Nian feel that the brainwashing of the Shuosu clan was really successful.
The environment in which he grew up made Gulu feel that he would always be a slave if he was a slave, and he had already accepted his status as the lowest level in this ethnic group.
In subsequent exchanges, Su Nian began to teach Gulu to grow up.
Gradually, Gulu seemed to have feelings for him, and every time he harvested his blood, he would subconsciously keep his hand.
But the harvest will not stop because of this, and Gulu dare not disobey his master's orders.
Su Nian also started his plan to transform Gulu during this period.
In the next few years, after telling the story about the outside world, Su Nian began to tell the story about the human race.
In this story, human society is united as one, everyone is equal, no one is born noble, and there are no rulers who exploit the lower classes.
They have a common faith leader: Feng Qi.
Free food, free training resources... The human race in the story gave Gulu a great shock.
It seems that it can't believe that such a place exists in this world.
Freedom, equality, everyone has the same starting point, and everyone can become a strong man who is noticed by the tribe, which subverts Gulu's world view.
From this moment on, Gulu's thoughts changed.
When Su Nian said:
"Gulu, if you were born in our human race, maybe you would also be a genius who attracts the attention of your tribe."
After hearing these words, Gulu subconsciously looked at his skinny body, and a glimmer of light appeared in his dead gray eyes.
"If I were human..."
"Yes, if you are a human being, you can choose the future. You don't have to serve the superiors like you do now. You should be the master of your own destiny."
"I...am not human."
The light in Gulu's eyes finally dissipated, and he shook his head in distress, squatting on the ground looking very painful.
The appearance of Su Nian is like the key to a new world for Gulu.
If it had never met Su Nian, it would have been immersed in the years of slavery, and would not even think about why I was a slave.
As the saying goes:
【If I had never seen the light, I could have endured the darkness.】
After several years of contact with Su Nian, Gulu gradually understood many truths, and even had a question in his mind that he had never thought about before.
Why am I a slave?
After the seeds of thought were sown, the dead silence in Guru's eyes turned into flames.
Especially the human race described by Su Nian made him full of yearning. It was a world where even the most despicable slaves like him could choose the future.
In Su Nian's description, the human race has no top-level dignitaries, and everything in the world under the leadership of the human race leader Feng Qi is so beautiful.
A seed of faith was sown at this time.
A few years later, Su Nian's body became increasingly haggard, and Gulu became anxious about his physical condition.
At this time, Gulu already had rebellious thoughts. He no longer obeyed his master's order to draw Su Nian's blood, and regarded Su Nian as his mentor.
But Gulu didn't know any medical treatment, so he could only watch Su Nian become weaker and weaker.
On this day, when Gulu came to the blood slave dungeon.
Su Nian, who was sitting on the ground leaning on the rock wall, opened his eyes and his pale lips trembled:
"Gulu."
"Teacher." Gulu came to Su Nian, knelt down with his knees together, and kowtowed heavily to Su Nian:
"You need to rest first. I need to complete the master's task before I come to see you."
With that said, Gulu stood up and began to harvest the blood slaves hanging here.
After a long time, after finishing his work, Gulu came to Su Nian and sat on the floor:
"teacher."
"Gulu, I'm afraid my time is running out... Before I die, I want to ask you, have you ever thought about changing your destiny?"
In this way, Su Nian mastered the specific values of the qi and blood production of the four blood slave prisons.
Some of these blood slaves are strong and some are weak, and blood slaves will die regularly because they cannot bear it, so there is a lot of room for stealing.
After obtaining the complete data, Su Nian began to tailor a plan for stealing Qi and blood for Gulu.
Time passes.
With Su Nian's help, Gulu's body became stronger during practice, his strength was significantly improved, and the hollowness in his eyes was gradually replaced by confidence.
Su Nian's transformation was undoubtedly a success.
He gave Gulu the strength to break free from the shackles of fate and resist the oppression of the powerful.
And this is the ultimate goal that Su Nian wants to achieve before his death.
Two years later.
On this day, Gulu, who was covered in scars, came to the blood slave prison.
Seeing this scene, Su Nian suddenly realized that Gulu must have forgotten himself while practicing, which resulted in the reduction of the amount of Qi and blood he submitted and he was severely beaten.
Although he made detailed plans for Guru, Guru often forgets them.
In the eyes of Gulu's master, this was due to Gulu's poor care, which led to the excessive death of the blood slave, which affected the harvest of qi and blood energy.
At this time, he spoke seriously:
"Next time, eat less blood. Your future is still very long. You have to endure the loneliness for a while. What you should do now is hibernating and waiting. Don't let your efforts be in vain... Next time, you may
Death, after all, your life is worthless in the eyes of your master, you are just its tool."
Gulu, who came and sat down in front of him, heard these words and lowered his head respectfully:
"Teacher, I understand."
"Let's start today's lesson."
Upon hearing this, Gulu immediately came to the corner and dug out the blood crystal stone that had been condensed in advance. Then he crossed his legs and performed the flesh and blood sacrifice technique. Suddenly the energy of Qi and blood hidden in the body exploded, and the skinny body quickly filled up. In the blink of an eye, Gulu's figure became
Standing more than two meters tall, the muscles all over his body are condensed, and a layer of blood-colored halo flows on the surface of his gray-white skin.
Seeing Gulu's current appearance, Su Nian nodded happily, and then suddenly lowered his head and coughed violently, with blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth.
The environment of this field was very harmful to his body.
Although he has never had his blood drawn in these years, his physical deficit has become very serious after living in such an environment for a long time.
Su Nian didn't know how long he could live.
It is simply impossible to escape now.
The Blood Slave Dungeon where he is located is located in an area where soldiers of the Shougang Clan are stationed. If he goes out, he will definitely die.
He just wants to plant a seed for the future of the human race within a limited time. This is his final goal in life.
Although he died, the belief in Dawn gathered by thousands of people has never been wiped out. His story will also inspire the next generation of travelers to continue their journey.
Looking up at Gulu who looked worried in front of him, Su Nian waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry.
After breathing for a while, he suppressed the death energy surging in his body. He looked at Gulu and said with a serious expression:
"Gulu, before taking this class, I want to give you a task that you need to complete in the future."
"Teacher, please tell me."
"Try to investigate the space bracelet that was taken away when I came here. If your strength allows, find a way to take that space bracelet... There is a treasure stored in it. With it, you will gain access to our clan.
The innate ability bestowed by Feng Qi, the God of Faith, has given him unparalleled power."
"Of course, safety is the most important thing. If it is very dangerous to seize the space bracelet, continue to practice and accumulate strength until the day comes when you have the ability to seize the space bracelet without being discovered."
Gulu didn't hesitate at all and immediately nodded solemnly:
