"If we continue walking like this, I'm afraid we won't have enough steps to reach the Netherworld Divine Throne. If we go back, the number of steps will also be reduced," Liu Yun said.
Zhou Wen shook his head and said, "Even if we walk from the first torture chamber, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the Netherworld Divine Throne."
"Why? Are there still not enough steps?" Liu Yun asked in puzzlement.
"I don't know if the number of steps is enough. I only know that in a short day, we have to suffer 239 punishments. A single punishment is indeed nothing to our bodies, but can we withstand 239 punishments cumulatively? In any case, I can't. Among the people I know, I'm afraid only one person can walk to the end of this street and survive all the punishments. Unfortunately, he isn't here, "Zhou Wen said.
"Although it's indeed difficult, we have to give it a try. We can't just sit back and wait for death, right?" Liu Yun said.
"Then you can give it a try later," Zhou Wen said as he pointed at the shop beside him.
"I'll give it a try." Liu Yun also knew that at this point, he had to think of all means to try. Otherwise, there was no way out.
"Should we walk back first?" Liu Yun said as he looked at the path he had taken. However, he quickly rejected it. "Let's enter the torture chamber beside us and give it a try."
There was still some time before the next hour's bell rang. The two of them could only stand there and wait.
Zhou Wen took out his phone to take a look, but the download still hadn't been completed. This game was clearly relatively large.
Zhou Wen took the opportunity to cultivate Gods Retreat. Every time he summoned it, he would only take a few seconds. When he was about to explode, he would switch him back. After repeated cultivation, the jade infant's body became more and more transparent. Later on, it became as transparent as crystal.
Zhou Wen vaguely sensed that the jade infant was about to break through.
I wonder what the Life Soul of a Perfect Body will be like? Zhou Wen placed all his hopes on the jade infant. Gods Retreat wasn't enough to resist the taboo power here. If he could advance to a Perfect Body, they might still have a chance of survival.
As for entering the torture chamber, Zhou Wen didn't have much hope of it. His physique was already very strong, but he might not be able to withstand so much punishment in such a short period of time. Unless Li Xuan was here, Zhou Wen didn't want to give it a try.
An hour quickly passed. While the jade infant was resting, Zhou Wen chatted with Chu He and consciously asked about Chu He's past.
Chu He was already terrified after being trapped here. Being able to chat with others was also a way to relieve his psychological pressure. He spoke a lot.
Chu He's memory of the past was very clear. It didn't seem like there was any problem, nor was there any amnesia.
Dang! Dang! Clang …
The bell rang again. This time, it rang eight times. After the bell stopped, the doors of the torture chambers on both sides of the street opened.
Zhou Wen looked at the torture chamber beside him and saw a strange torture device inside. It looked like a wooden horse, and on its back was a long spike that resembled a unicorn's horn. However, it didn't grow on its head, but on its back.
Next to the instruments of torture, there was a sign with the words "Wooden Horse Punishment in Twenty Steps" written on it.
"Eldest Senior Brother, you can get twenty steps from the torture here. The reward is very high. Do you want to give it a try?" Zhou Wen said to Liu Yun.
Liu Yun's face turned green when he saw the torture device. He immediately shook his head and said, "Try my ass. Let's try this. Scraping with a thousand blades. Scrape off a piece of flesh for one step. A few more slices will give you a few more steps. This is a punishment that can be repeated. Perhaps there's a chance of getting more steps."
"Can you take it?" Zhou Wen looked at the torture chamber and saw a metal shackle hanging from a beam. Beside it was a dagger-sized knife.
He roughly understood at a glance that his hands were to be cuffed and hung up before a knife was used to scrape off his flesh.
"As a man, there's nothing I can't endure in order to survive. Let me do it." Liu Yun knew that he could only risk it if he wanted to live.
Almost without any hesitation, Liu Yun followed Chu He's instructions and shouted at the Thousand Cuts torture chamber, "I want to receive the punishment of a thousand cuts."
Just as he said that, his body vanished from Zhou Wen's side as though he had teleported. Zhou Wen looked over and saw that his hands were cuffed as he was hung in the air of the torture chamber.
The knife was picked up by a white, ghost-like creature and slashed at Liu Yun's thigh.
The knife seemed to be sawing through flesh as it sliced back and forth, slicing off a piece of flesh from Liu Yun's thigh.
Needless to say, the white ghost's knife skills were top-notch. The flesh that was sliced was as thin as a cicada's wing and was almost transparent. It was comparable to a top chef's.
Zhou Wen roughly understood why the knife sliced so thin. It wasn't because it was afraid of death, but because if it was too thick, it wouldn't be able to cut thousands of slices. Naturally, it couldn't be considered a thousand blades.
Such a method of slicing was enough to turn Liu Yun's face pale from the pain. The wound was secondary, and not much flesh had been sliced off, but it was really painful.
Liu Yun gritted his teeth and didn't say a word. The knife continued slicing, slowly slicing off another piece of flesh.
When Zhou Wen looked at Liu Yun again, his forehead was already covered in cold sweat.
Chu He was also horrified as he watched from the side. Such a bloody and cruel torture made one's hair stand on end.
Liu Yun didn't even grunt as the knife sliced off his flesh. He was a model of a true man. Even Zhou Wen had no choice but to admire him. Liu Yun was really unyielding.
To Zhou Wen's surprise, Liu Yun's wound didn't bleed much. Every time the knife sliced off a piece of flesh, the wound would automatically shrink. There wasn't a lot of bleeding.
"Eldest Senior Brother, I couldn't tell that you had cultivated such a powerful self-healing technique," Zhou Wen exclaimed.
"Self-healing my ass. It's the power in this torture chamber that's preventing me from bleeding. It's afraid that I'll die before I'm sliced by a thousand blades," Liu Yun cursed.
He wasn't really such a hot-tempered person. He just wanted to vent his pain through cursing.
After slicing off twenty-three pieces in a row, the iron-blooded Liu Yun finally couldn't take it anymore. He shouted, "I give up on the torture."
With a clang, the metal cuffs opened by themselves and Liu Yun's body fell. However, when he landed, he had already returned to the stone slab he was originally on.
Indeed, the number on his stone slab had increased by twenty-three.
"Look, isn't this very simple? It increased by twenty-three in an instant. If I try a few more torture chambers, it won't be a problem for me to reach the Netherworld Divine Throne," Liu Yun said with a pale face.
Even Chu He could tell that Liu Yun was just consoling himself, much less Zhou Wen.
