"Oh no, the elixir …"
The Green Bull Demon's face changed slightly. He slapped his forehead and immediately turned around anxiously, rushing towards the Water Curtain Cave.
But after running two steps, he turned back and shouted, "Take this guy into my cave and lock him up with those medicine men."
After saying that, he leaped up and flew into the Water Curtain Cave.
Upon seeing this, the old Horse Monkey quickly walked forward and instructed the small demons on its left and right to detain Shen Luo before heading into the Water Curtain Cave.
Shen Luo was lifted up by the two monsters. After he staggered a few steps, the intense pain between his eyebrows gradually dissipated. The Art of Disemboweling circulated on its own. A ray of light flowed from his body to the space between his eyebrows and began to heal his injuries.
However, before the wound began to heal, the Golden Rope on his body activated again and absorbed this part of the spiritual power that was circulating.
Shen Luo sighed in his heart and could only give up temporarily.
The Old Horse Monkey led people to take Shen Luo into the Water Curtain Cave. After passing through the water curtain, they landed on an arch bridge.
Shen Luo glanced around and found that inside the cave, there were huge luminous pearls inlaid everywhere. They emitted a soft white light, illuminating the surroundings.
After crossing the stone bridge, Shen Luo saw a spacious flat area in the cave. There were stone tables and stone chairs in the cave. There were all kinds of fresh fruits and plates of bloody raw meat and organs on the table.
Two teams of demons in armor were stationed on both sides. Their bodies stood straight, almost like javelins.
At the back of the flat area, there was a stone throne. On top of it was a peeled tiger skin. It looked very mighty, but the Green Bull Demon did not sit on it.
Shen Luo did not have time to look at the surrounding scenery carefully. Under the push of the demons, he passed through the flat area and turned right, arriving in front of a dark side cave.
"Bring him in." The Old Horse Monkey glanced at Shen Luo and ordered.
Hearing this, the little demons immediately pushed Shen Luo into the cave and walked down a slope.
For some reason, the old macaque didn't follow them.
Inside the side cave, there were no pearls inlaid. After walking more than a hundred steps inside, the surroundings began to become darker and darker. Shen Luo's vision was not affected by the light, so he could clearly see the scene inside the cave.
In the area he passed by, there were empty black iron cages everywhere. Without exception, there was a dark purple talisman pasted on each of them. However, the talisman drawn on each of them was different. Some of them were still emitting weak spiritual fluctuations, while some had completely dissipated their spiritual power.
While Shen Luo was surprised, his eyes suddenly flashed slightly. In one of the cages, he saw a skeleton emitting a white luster. The skeleton was leaning against the corner of the iron cage with its hands spread out on its side.
From the luster of his bones, it was not difficult to determine that he must have been a successful cultivator when he was alive.
As he walked further in, there were more and more white skeletons in the surrounding iron cages. Some of them were hanging on the top of the cage, some were sitting cross-legged in the middle of the cage, and some had completely decayed, becoming a pile of bones.
"Wu wu wu …"
At this moment, a sound that seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of the throat sounded with difficulty from the side.
Shen Luo turned his head to look and saw that in the iron cage beside him, there was an old man with a short stature like a child. His clothes were ragged and covered his entire body.
There were no eyes on his face, only two pitch-black holes. His nose seemed to have been cut off by a sharp weapon. There was only a scar on his face that connected to the middle of his body. His tongue seemed to have been pulled out by the roots, so he couldn't make a normal sound.
Shen Luo only took a glance before he was pushed further in. Behind him, the increasingly urgent sounds of "wu wu" continued to reverberate.
Separated by a few cages, Shen Luo saw more and more people being locked up inside. Among them, there were very few people with healthy bodies. All of them looked like beggars. Their clothes barely covered their bodies, and they were as thin as bones.
However, in the hundreds of cages further back, there were no humans. Instead, there were old and weak apes. Most of them were wearing tattered clothes, and some of them were wearing rusty and broken armor.
The small demon escorted Shen Luo to the end of the cave. Then, he stopped in front of a solitary cell surrounded by iron fences. He used a token to open the cell's door. Then, he pushed Shen Luo inside.
After Shen Luo staggered, he barely stood firm. Then he saw that there were seven or eight people in this cell.
Unlike the people in the previous cages, these people were all dressed in clean clothes. Although their faces were slightly pale, overall, they seemed to be in good condition. If not for the fact that they were here, it would be impossible to tell that they were prisoners in prison.
But most of them looked indifferent. After looking up at Shen Luo, they looked away. Some closed their eyes to rest, and some simply fell to the ground to sleep.
"Oh, finally another guy tied up with a golden rope." In the darkness, a low and hoarse voice came.
Shen Luo looked in the direction of the voice and saw a short old man in a gray robe sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking up at him.
"This friend, how should I address you?" A young man in a brocade robe with a white face came over and asked.
"This humble one is Shen Luo. I don't know who you are …" Shen Luo was interrupted by the hoarse voice before he could finish his words.
"What's the use of knowing this? We are all medicine men. Sooner or later, we will die." The man shouted loudly. There was not much sadness in his tone, and he seemed to be very indifferent.
"Medicine men?" Shen Luo was surprised.
"You were just caught, right? You don't know that the beast Blue Ox likes to refine pills. We are kept here as medicine men. Later, they will use us to refine pills. "The young man in brocade robe explained.
Shen Luo suddenly remembered that the Heart Fox seemed to have mentioned something about the Body Elixir.
"Yes, my name is Qi Lian Mi. I am from the Western Wusun Clan." The young man in brocade robe added.
Shen Luo was tied up by the golden rope and could not return the greeting. He could only nod and ask, "Fellow Qi Lian, do you know who is imprisoned here?"
"Most of the people in this cave are scattered practitioners from all over the world. There are also the monkeys of the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits who are unwilling to surrender to the demons. In addition, some ordinary people of the Ao Lai Country are imprisoned elsewhere as food. It is said that some of the True Immortals of the Celestial Court are imprisoned elsewhere. "Qi Lian Mi explained.
"Haven't these monkeys always been regarded as demons? Why are they unwilling to surrender to the demons?" Shen Luo was puzzled.
"I heard an old horse monkey mention that the only king in their hearts is the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal. They would rather die than acknowledge the Blue Ox Demon as their king. The Blue Ox Demon seems to have some grudge with the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal. He is especially ruthless to this Mountain of Flowers and Fruits. After killing batch after batch of monkeys, he finally forced some of the monkeys to surrender. The rest are imprisoned here and slowly tortured. "Qi Lian Mi explained.
Shen Luo heard this and could not help but sympathize with those monkeys.
