Chapter three hundred and ninety eight: lock demon cave
?"Hu Nong."
Seeing the hippo demon's expression of "I absolutely cannot tell", Lin Mo turned to Hu Nong next to him and motioned to him to take out a few yellow wood certificates and hand them to the hippo demon.
"I just can't improve my strength for a long time, so I want to find some precious demon soul blood to improve my bloodline."
"Then... Your Majesty, please don't spread the word."
After Hu Yao took out the yellow wood, the hippo demon quickly put a few yellow wood certificates into his arms, then leaned over and whispered softly.
"Your Majesty, you are so lucky. In the recent period, I don't know why the major demon courts have captured some immortal demon souls from time to time. Although most of them have extremely ordinary bloodlines and realms, they are also rare immortal demon souls.
soul."
"If you want fairy blood, there should be many demon courts selling it on Zhenyao Peak."
After saying these two sentences, the hippo demon immediately closed his mouth and did not say another word. Seeing this, Lin Mo had no choice but to give up.
"Your Majesty, please keep this contract, and I will take you to the Demon Suo Cave in our Demon Court to see the goods."
Putting the contract in front of Lin Mo, the hippopotamus demon took the lead and led Lin Mo towards a continuous mountain cliff in the distance.
After walking through the gathering for more than ten minutes, a group of demon guards with excellent armor and strength blocked the road leading to Lin Mo and the others.
"Blue River, you sold another sum so quickly."
At the front of the demon clan's guard, a gray-toothed ape demon wearing exquisite red gold armor, an ape head and fangs walked up to the hippopotamus demon and said with a smile.
"Commander Cangya is joking, this is yours."
Seeing the gray-toothed ape demon approaching, the hippopotamus cursed in his heart but with a smile on his face, he took out a yellow wood certificate and stuffed it into the monkey-haired hand of the gray-toothed ape demon.
This gray-toothed ape demon is a demon soldier leader of the Jiuzhen early stage of the Xulong Mountain demon clan, and was ordered to guard outside the demon lock cave to prevent the demon soul slaves inside from escaping.
In order to prevent the caves they belong to from being harassed frequently, all the demon soul forces that own the Demon Locking Cave not only have to pay an expensive fee, but also take out some things from time to time to bribe the demon soldiers guarding them.
"Hahaha, the Blue River brothers are really interesting."
"Okay, you guys go in quickly. I have always taken special care of your Zhaoshui Demon Court cave."
The gray-toothed ape demon laughed and put the yellow wood certificate in his hand into the armor, then turned around and waved his hand to signal all the little demons behind him to get out of the way.
"Then thank you, Commander Cangya."
Walking through the mountain road guarded by the team of demon soldiers, a huge rock mass that resembled a skeleton was leaning on a cliff not far from Lin Mo and the others.
There are three dark and deep cave entrances of different sizes on the skeleton rock mass that is more than ten meters high. The largest one has reached six or seven meters high.
In front of the rock mass, many demon soul forces led sellers frequently between the caves. From time to time, demon souls whose limbs were imprisoned in chains were dragged away by the forces.
"Your Majesty, these are caves temporarily rented by some small forces."
"Our Zhaoshui Demon Court's exclusive cave is in the deepest area of the Suo Demon Cave. Each of the goods in it has been taken care of very carefully. It will never be like them."
The hippopotamus demon kicked the stinking porcupine demon away in disgust, and then whipped the cat demon next to him on the scar-covered back.
Walking into the Suoyao Cave, a damp and putrid stench spread across the floor, and bright red blood and various viscous body fluids spread on both sides of the tunnel.
In the pitch-black tunnel space, the blue demonic fires burning on both sides provided some brilliance.
Lin Mo slowly walked in. The original single tunnel had many branches, and the rock walls on both sides of the road were replaced by countless prison caves covered with iron cables and pillars.
In a prison cave with an area of less than 100 square meters, a red-haired male lion with a lion's head and a human body was curled up in the corner, his burly body covered with dense blood stains.
The original majestic and violent instinct was lost in the long period of torture, and was replaced by dull, frightened eyes and almost instinctive compliance.
Lin Mo could see through the iron rope that a sand chicken demon with a cockscomb on its head and a long sharp mouth was being introduced by a cricket demon and watching the lion demon in the cage with interest.
The expression of disgust and disdain is clearly expressed on its face.
"This Six True Lion Demon was once the demon king of a small demon cave. After destroying them in the Scorpion Demon Cave, this lion king was brought here to be tortured and then sold to other buyers."
"If your Majesty is interested, you can buy one and use it as a mount."
"After all, for the demon souls who lived in Blue Star before, creatures like lions are still somewhat interesting."
Seeing Lin Mo looking at the mighty lion king in the cage, the hippo demon laughed mockingly.
"No need, I'm just curious."
"Go this way, and in a few hundred meters we will reach our exclusive cave of Zhaoshui Demon Court."
The hippo demon led Lin Mo through twists and turns of tunnels.
Gradually, the surrounding caves became sparse, and the firelight on both sides of the tunnel changed from the dim blue demonic fire to the shining stone emitting incandescent light.
Not only that, next to the tunnel where the hippopotamus leads the way, a small area of pool water dug from groundwater gradually appeared in the prison caves on both sides that were originally dry.
The demon souls locked in each cave are also a bit more lake- and aquatic demon souls than those originally found in mountains and jungles.
"Your Majesty, this is it."
The hippo demon stopped and waved his hand, and the three little demons waiting at the entrance of the tunnel quickly opened the door of the tunnel with a mocking smile and let Lin Mo and others pass through.
Behind the gate, more than twenty prison caves with an average area of more than 100 square meters are scattered in this intricate environment.
Each prison cave has an underground pool with an area of 30 square meters that does not rain. The little demon holding a demon soldier supervising the cave quickly stood up straight when he saw the hippopotamus demon queen, his eyes staring directly at the locked people in the cave.
The living demon soul.
"Your Majesty, this is an area that belongs exclusively to our Zhaoshui Demon Court."
"Among them, we have imprisoned hundreds of slaves of various races, including as many as ten human monks, and there are also some truly powerful demon soul slaves with strength reaching seven or eight."
"But now most of the slaves here were either bought or tortured to death."
Looking at the surrounding caves with blood-stained walls, the hippopotamus proudly explained and showed off to Lin Mo.
So what about Jiuzhen Demon King? He still has to lie down obediently in front of the behemoth of Zhaoshui Demon Court.
The hippo demon didn't notice that Lin Mo's attention had already been attracted by several caves nearby, and his calm and long breathing gradually became rapid and heavy.
The already relaxed palms were clenched tightly again, and the blood vessels in the arms swelled as the blood surged.
In the prison cave on the left, three human men were huddled in the corner of the cave. Their limbs, which were shackled with special chains, were covered with bloodstains from being torn by sharp claws and whipped.
His hair was messy and dirty, his stubble was growing wildly like weeds, and the dark eyes in his eyes were no longer bright, replaced by a deep dullness and an almost despairing silence.
