The maid breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "I know where the captured people are being held, and I can guide you."
"How do you know I'm here to save people?"
"When I was serving... during the day, I heard about the Tianlong Escort Bureau. They said he was a powerful swordsman. They had to clean it up in time just in case... In the evening, my lord, you are here..."
This woman is quite smart.
Luo Guan said calmly, "Lead the way."
Soon, the two passed through several courtyards and came to the pond in the backyard. The dark hole in the pond exuded a cold atmosphere.
The woman subconsciously hugged her shoulders and said, "Sir, everyone is imprisoned inside."
Luo Guan waved his hand, "You can go."
The woman bit her lip and begged, "I want to go down with you."
Luo Guan glanced at her and said, "It's up to you."
Ignoring her, he jumped to the entrance of the cave and ducked in.
Obviously, there was a restriction at the entrance of the cave. The darkness quickly subsided, and the dancing torches illuminated the surrounding area.
Soon after continuing to move forward, it suddenly became clear that a huge pool of blood appeared in front of us.
It has a radius of more than ten feet and an unknown depth. It is engraved with unknown and strange runes on the edge. Now it is filled with thick plasma, with bowls of large bubbles constantly emerging. When it bursts, it releases a disgusting, thick blood.
The firelight reflected the blood pool, covering the entire underground space with terrifying blood!
The sound of stumbling footsteps came from behind, and the maid actually followed her. When she saw the blood pool, she covered her mouth hard to prevent herself from screaming.
Luo Guan glanced at her and said in his heart, "Teacher, the blood in this pool seems to be the blood of ferocious beasts."
When refining the Beast Pill, he came into contact with a large amount of ferocious beast blood and was very familiar with its aura.
"...That's right." Xuangui's voice sounded, as if he was weak due to a serious illness. "My master couldn't figure it out at first, but how they obtained the demon blood turned out to be obtained by refining the blood of ferocious beasts through this blood pool.
, there are too many impurities and confusion, which will lead to various signs of animal transformation left behind after the blood demon transforms."
Luo Guan looked worried, "Teacher, are you okay?"
"You acted very quickly and killed three archers. It didn't cost me much. It doesn't matter if I rest for a few days." Xuangui paused for a moment and said in a solemn voice, "Be careful. I feel extremely strong resentment here.
There may be danger!"
Luo Guan's heart was slightly frightened, and he swung his sword to smash the runes around the blood pool, destroying this harmful thing, and then continued to move forward.
Soon after, he saw the cage where the "blood demons" were imprisoned. It was inappropriate to call them "blood demons" because these people were more like living containers that diluted the demon blood. Now they were corroded by the demon blood. One becomes extremely terrifying, or the body is directly alienated, or the skin bursts and falls off, dripping red blood, or directly turns into a puddle of rotten flesh that is still alive!
It is lucky to lose consciousness and become a crippled blood demon, but if you still have a shred of sanity, you will have to endure inhuman torture all the time. At this time, there is a cage with a "blood demon" covered in bone spurs, screaming constantly
He hit the cage without caring about the fact that he was stabbed by the cage's sharp points. His body was bruised and bleeding, and his eyes were full of pleading.
Luo Guan was silent for a moment, raised his hand and struck his sword, piercing his head in front of him. At the last moment of his life, his eyes showed gratitude.
Death, for him, is the only relief.
Perhaps feeling the death of their kind, the "blood demons" in the cage roared and screamed like crazy. Luo Guan's face changed slightly, and he turned to look deeper into the cave.
Rumble——
The sound of terrifying footsteps sounded, as if a giant thing was rushing towards us, and with it came endless violent and murderous intent!
Finally, as a wooden house built underground was smashed into pieces, Luo Guan could see clearly what was coming, and his pupils contracted violently——
It is several feet tall, and its body is as huge as a mountain of flesh. Its body is composed of pieces of corpses, which are now penetrated by strange purple-green tentacles and forcibly sewn together. The weirdest thing is at the position of the head.
, turned out to be a newborn baby, with all the tentacles coming out of his body, and his green face and fangs looked like a ghost!
At this time, the ghost infant stared at Luo Guan with his blue and red eyes, and suddenly screamed, filled with resentment! The violent force hit the entire underground cave, shaking and roaring, and countless dust and gravel fell.
Luo Guan holds the sword in his hand and looks solemn!
The terror of this monster's aura far exceeds that of a martial arts expert in the Lingyun realm, and is very likely to touch the level of the Sky.
He was not sure about fighting with it...but even so, he still had to give it a try.
Otherwise, if it is allowed to break out from here, the array of this house will not be able to trap it at all, and outside is the bustling Imperial Capital Street, and countless people will die.
Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind, "Sir, please let me try."
Luo Guan turned around and looked at her pale face, "Why do you?"
The maid looked at the monster in the distance with a painful but determined expression, and whispered, "Because, he is my child."
She saluted Luo Guan, "Sir, you are a good person, thank you."
After saying that, he stood up and walked to the monster, looked up at the ghost baby, and stretched out his hands.
With a smile on his face, he said, "Little boy, mom is here. Don't you know mom?"
The ghost baby sniffed his nose and suddenly grinned. He suddenly struggled, and each tentacle quickly retracted from his body. The huge monster composed of corpses fell apart in an instant.
With a leap, the ghost baby fell into the maid's arms. He gently and carefully hugged his mother's body with his hands, and a happy smile appeared on his hideous and terrifying face.
The maid hugged him tightly, and tears fell down, "Little bastard, it's your mother's fault. She failed to protect you, so we, a bastard, are so young and have to suffer all this. But now, mother is here to find you.
No one can separate us from now on."
"Yeah! Yeah!" The ghost baby stretched out his hand to wipe her tears, but there were bloody tears falling from the blue and red eyes.
"Mom, don't cry! Mom is so happy!" The maid hugged him and kissed him again and again. "Don't cry, little baby. Can Mom sing to you? You didn't like to sleep when you were born. Mom is always like this.
I sang it for you."
A gentle hum full of love resounded in the cave. The maid held the ghost baby and took a torch into her hand. The ghost baby showed a trace of uneasiness on his face and shrank into her arms. The maid patted him gently, "
Don’t be afraid, little bastard, mother is here.” .??.
As she spoke, she poured the grease from the torch on herself and lit it.
The flames rose up and enveloped the mother and child. The ghost baby screamed wildly and black gas billowed out of his body. However, the maid in the flames hugged him tightly and continued to hum.
The ghost baby didn't want to hurt its mother, and the black energy converged little by little. It seemed to feel the mother's intention, and quietly curled up in her arms, and turned to ashes with her in the flames.
Luo Guan looked at the dancing tongues of fire and seemed to be able to hear the gentle humming in his ears, which made his nose feel sore.
A long time ago, there must have been such a gentle woman who sang songs late at night to coax him to sleep.
Luo Guan dug a pit with his sword and buried mother and son together - from now on, you will be together forever.
After staring at the tomb bag for a few times, Luo Guan took a deep breath and continued walking deeper into the cave.
After simply taking care of a few blood demons that had slipped through the net, Luo Guan found the people imprisoned here deep underground. Most of them were in a coma and had obviously been fed some kind of medicine to avoid resistance.
, fortunately his life is not in danger.
After a search, they finally found imprisoned Hu Chong, Hu Shanshan and others in one of the cages, and sent them out.
There were many people in the underground cave, and it was impossible for Luo Guan to take them all away. He thought for a moment and set a fire. Before the flames reached the sky and alerted the outside world, he took a few people into the carriage that had been prepared and quietly left Yongfeng Street. > "Fire!"
"Report to the officer, report to the officer quickly!"
The exclamation sounded after him, and Luo Guan did not look back. When people from the Imperial Capital's Military and Horse Division arrived, the people in the cave would naturally be saved.
There was a groan, followed by an incredible exclamation, "Luo...Luo Guan!"
Hu Shanshan pinched herself hard, it hurt!
Luo Guan's mouth twitched, "...Don't try, it's not an illusion."
Hu Shanshan threw herself into his arms and cried loudly.
After hesitating, Luo Guan hugged her and said softly, "Shanshan, don't be afraid, it's okay."
A fire broke out on Yongfeng Street, causing chaos in the imperial capital tonight. The nobles threw their cups angrily, and some people were frightened and couldn't sleep.
At this time, there was joy in the Cheng family residence. Mr. Hu Chong woke up and solemnly expressed his gratitude to Luo Guan. However, he was old after all. He had been injured before and was given medicine, and he soon became mentally ill and died in advance.
Go back to your room and rest.
Xu Qingqing looked at the quiet Hu Shanshan with worry on her face, "Are you okay?"
"Ah...it's okay, I'm fine!" Hu Shanshan tried her best to hide it, her eyes were panicked, but she couldn't help but glance at Luo Guan, who was surrounded by people. Under the light, this face was disgusting no matter how he looked at it before.
, suddenly there was an unspeakable feeling.
Am I crazy?
Hu Shanshan shook her head vigorously, turned around, hugged Xu Qingqing, and said coquettishly, "Qingqing, I almost died this time. I'm still so scared that I don't dare to stay alone at night. How about we sleep together?"
Xu Qingqing gave her a wary look, "...Okay, but you are not allowed to do those weird behaviors."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you... Oops, I feel dizzy. What's so interesting about a group of stinky men? Qingqing, let's go to bed." Hu Shanshan dragged her away with a proud look on her face.
Well, it’s normal to dream at night, right? If you sleepwalk or something, you’re definitely worthy of forgiveness.
Hey Hey!
Luo Guan glanced at the direction the two were leaving, and his eyes twitched.
Cousin Hu's special hobby is really worrying. Do you want to find an opportunity to mention it to Mr. Hu?
He hesitated, lost in thought.
Luo Ning said, "Luo Guan, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering how to solve the problem of self-awareness disorder in men and women... Well, it's nothing, just a little trouble."
Forget it!
Cousin Hu has grown up and will soon reach the age of marriage. It is better to leave this matter to the Hu family and her future husband.
