"Someone, go and check if the two women are still alive!"
After blocking the entrance, the group of duoluozhongs began to search the underground temple inch by inch. The warden did not move. It gave an order, and a duoluozhong walked over lazily and kicked the pregnant woman on the ground a few times.
"Dead," the duoluozhong's voice was soft and melodious. It sounded like a singing bird coming from its snow-white, featureless head, "No, wait, this one is still …"
It grabbed the head of the pregnant woman who had been stabbed a few times and was still breathing. Unexpectedly, it exerted too much strength and broke the neck with a loud crack. The pregnant woman's neck instantly drooped.
"Oh, she's dead now." The faceless duoluozhong shrugged and threw the pregnant woman down.
The woman who was held by the throat by the duoluozhong struggled to let out a mocking sneer.
The warden's head turned around abruptly.
"Where are the people we just caught?" it asked in a low voice. Its voice suddenly became gentle. "... You have to know, even if you are pregnant with a Divine Fetus, we still have many ways to deal with you …"
A mouthful of phlegm with traces of blood was spat on its face.
Lifting her disheveled hair, the woman revealed a sallow and emaciated face with high cheekbones. Perhaps only her straight nose was the same as before. "I can't wait for you to kill me!"
Her answer was so naive that the warden wanted to laugh. It tilted its head and looked at her from head to toe. After a few seconds, the warden asked the duoluozhong beside it softly, "Where are the children she gave birth to?"
"Probably in the nursery area. We can ask around and find out which ones she gave birth to."
The woman was stunned. Then, her face twisted. An expression of nausea and fear instantly covered her face.
The warden clicked its tongue and laughed in satisfaction. Its voice was sweet, "After being separated for so long, don't you miss them as a mother? Especially your daughters. When they are going to be sacrificed to God, I'm sure you would want to see such a glorious event with your own eyes … "
The woman could no longer control herself. A gurgling sound came from her throat, and a stream of acid seeped out from the corner of her mouth. If not for the choke, she would have vomited all over the floor.
"So disgusting." The warden took a step back and waved his withered twig-like hand, "If you don't want us to take you to your child, then you'd better cooperate. The effect of the divine light clearly hasn't disappeared. How did they escape? "
After breathing heavily like a bellows, the woman finally spoke.
"This is an ability." She was still strangled. Her eyes flashed and her expression was a little crazy. "One of their abilities is to reduce or be immune to abnormal states. The effect has long since disappeared … "
The temple warden's face darkened. Even though the layers of dried skin were folded together, a serious expression could still be seen on its face. It quickly turned around and screamed at the duoluozhong in the temple, "Stop looking for them! I'm afraid the two women have already escaped! Close the temple and quickly go out to search! "
"What about her?" A duoluozhong shook the woman in its hand.
"Bring her along." The palace warden's yellow eyes rolled around. "… Bring her to find her child."
Amidst the woman's furious screams and struggles, a group of duoluozhongs emerged from the crowd of deities. The warden's face darkened. As the duoluozhongs dragged the woman forward, her face suddenly scrunched up and she stepped on the iron chain between the woman's feet. Plop! The woman's stomach fell to the ground with a thud.
The place where she fell was right in front of a statue. The woman glanced at the statue and lowered her head. With great difficulty, she pushed herself up from the ground.
The Hall Warden's eyeballs rolled. It turned to the duoluozhong beside it and ordered, "... When we get out, find a few people to help the statues stand up. Goddess Deva will not be happy if she finds out that there are so many of them lying on the ground."
The duoluozhong couldn't speak, but it opened its mouth, revealing a row of sharp, metallic teeth that stretched from its forehead to its chin. Mucus flowed out of its mouth as it answered the temple warden's question.
Perhaps the duoluozhong realized the urgency of the situation, all the duoluozhong left in the blink of an eye. When they left, they extinguished the torches on the wall. When the heavy sound of the iron gate at the end of the staircase was heard, the underground temple was shrouded in absolute darkness.
Lin Sanjiu let out a sigh of relief, but the anxiety in her heart did not lessen at all.
That strange woman had given them a chance to live, but she was being escorted to some unknown place. Even though Lin Sanjiu didn't know the details, from the conversation just now, she could tell that the woman's fate was not going to be good. Lin Sanjiu tried to move her fingers anxiously, but her body remained motionless as if it was dead.
'How long will this goddamn divine light take to disappear? '
"This is a rare opportunity to recover your Higher Consciousness. Before you recover at least half of your Higher Consciousness, you shouldn't go out and risk your life!" Mrs. Manas seized the opportunity to repeat the words in her mind. She sounded like a noisy bird.
Even though she couldn't see, she knew that her grand prize was not far away from her. He was lying quietly under the simulated [Elementary Ambient Color]. Lin Sanjiu felt a little relieved.
No matter how anxious she was, she couldn't move her body. There was nothing she could do.
Lin Sanjiu felt her heart being squeezed by anxiety, but there was nothing she could do. The footsteps above her head were getting louder and louder. She had no idea what was going on. The footsteps were accompanied by tremors, causing the dust on the stone slab above her to fall off. Lin Sanjiu didn't know how long she had been tormented like that. Suddenly, something clicked in Lin Sanjiu's heart.
With an anticipation that bordered on fear, she tried to lift her finger.
Her finger, which was lying on the ground like a dead fish a moment ago, slowly rose into the air. It was as if a lock had been unlocked. The moment her finger left the ground, Lin Sanjiu felt a jolt run through her body. She regained her mobility in an instant. Her heart raced. She quickly put away the [Battle Item] and jumped up.
"Grand Prize, can you move now?" She groped around in the dark and called out her [Ability Polishing Agent]. The silver light instantly filled half of the space, illuminating the faces of the Deva. It was as if every Deva was laughing.
"Let's get out of here —"
Before she could finish her sentence, she turned around and the second half of her sentence was stuck in her throat.
Ji Shanqing had also stood up. However, even though he had regained his mobility, he didn't stand up on his own accord. There was a long granule wrapped around his face, so he couldn't open his mouth to speak. His body was also wrapped tightly. Only his eyes were exposed, and they were glistening with anxiety and fear.
"You jumped out before we could find you." The silver light turned, and the Hall Warden's withered face, which was full of cracks, lit up layer by layer in the dim light. It smiled and said, "Oh, you saved us a lot of trouble."
