Watching the disciples enter, Long Chen hid himself in the bushes and remained motionless.
At night, the Holy Snow Peak is completely dark. Except for some shimmering stones here and there, the rest of the mountain is completely dark.
Here, neither the moon nor the stars can be seen, and thick clouds always press above the head.
Long Chen waited patiently. Almost two quarters of an hour later, several disciples came out of the cave empty-handed.
Long Chen did not go in immediately, but continued to wait.
You must be very careful when entering this place, as the consequences of being discovered can be serious.
When the surroundings were silent, Long Chen slowly walked out from behind the tree and quietly walked towards the cave.
The green light at the entrance of the cave reflected on the snow, which looked very strange.
Arriving at the entrance of the cave, Long Chen smelled a strange smell.
Long Chen stopped at the entrance of the cave, raised his ears and listened carefully to the sounds inside the cave.
There was a slight noise coming from inside, which meant there was someone inside.
Do you want to go in?
Long Chen was hesitating in his heart.
"Let's go!"
The two black-faced servants walked out of the cave with heavy steps. Long Chen immediately hid in the darkness and completely held his breath.
Long Chen suddenly discovered that slowing down his heartbeat was also beneficial, and he could be very stealthy when hiding.
The black-faced servant left the cave and returned to the courtyard on the mountain.
Long Chen did not go in immediately, but continued to hide outside the cave. He could not take risks and had to make sure that there was no one in the cave before he could act.
After waiting for an hour, there was no other movement inside. Long Chen slowly came out of the darkness and entered the cave.
Entering the cave entrance, a hot and humid air flowed out, mixed with an inexplicable smell.
Long Chen's footsteps were so light that he couldn't even hear the sound.
After walking forward for more than a hundred meters, a row of steps descending suddenly appeared in front of him. Long Chen raised his feet and walked down.
The temperature is getting higher and higher, and the hot and humid airflow is getting heavier.
After walking dozens of meters of stairs, a huge stone chamber suddenly appeared in front of us.
There are huge luminous pearls on the wall, and the white light illuminates the stone chamber very brightly. A hot spring pool is steaming, and the water is rolling upwards. This is where the hot and humid airflow in the cave comes from.
What surprised Long Chen was not the hot spring, but the vegetable beds next to it, with mushrooms over one meter high growing on them.
There is no sunlight here, only hot and humid airflow. Normal vegetables cannot be grown at all, and some fungi do not need sunlight.
Mushrooms have no chlorophyll and do not require photosynthesis. They rely on fungal filaments to decompose and absorb nutrients to reproduce, so they do not require sunlight.
There are many antlered deer and birds in captivity next to the mushrooms. These deer and birds look strange, with gray-white eyes.
As Long Chen approached, the horned deer and birds didn't react at all, and still lowered their heads to eat the mushrooms.
Long Chen observed carefully that the buttocks of these horned deer were cut open, but no blood flowed out.
In other words, the venison we usually eat is cut directly from the horned deer?
Venison, poultry, and fish, where does the fish come from?
Long Chen looked at the steaming hot spring pool. There were no fish in it.
Walking through the captive garden, there is a separated stone cave behind.
Just as Long Chen was about to go in and check, a black-faced handyman suddenly walked out. Long Chen had nowhere to hide, so he had to slide into the hot spring pool.
The water in the hot spring was very hot, so Long Chen endured it and slowly retracted into the water, with only the upper part of his eyes exposed, quietly observing the situation outside.
The black-faced handyman came over with a big plate, and Long Chen immediately dived into the water to hide.
Then there was the sound of dishes being washed. Long Chen hid in the water and found that after his heartbeat slowed down, his ability to hold his breath actually strengthened.
After washing the dishes and making sure that the black-faced handyman had left, Long Chen slowly emerged. 81Zw.????m
The black-faced servant chopped some mushrooms and threw them to the horned deer and birds, and then left the cave.
Long Chen climbed out of the hot spring gently, and the skin on his body was burned red.
"Fortunately it's not too hot, otherwise..."
The water in some hot springs can be heated to 70 or 80 degrees. This hot spring pool is only 50 degrees. Although it is very hot, it will not cause skin peeling.
His whole body was wet from the hot spring water. Long Chen simply twisted his clothes and walked slowly towards the cave.
After making sure there was no sound inside, Long Chen walked in...
The scene in front of him shocked Long Chen.
Rows of chairs are neatly arranged, with people sitting on them, their hands and feet fixed to the armrests and chair legs.
The men were not wearing any clothes, there was a bucket under the chair, and the stench filled the room.
Long Chen roughly estimated that there were more than four hundred people in the cave.
"Why are there so many?"
Long Chen was surprised.
It takes a hundred years for the Changsheng Sect to recruit more than 30 people, but there are more than 400 people here.
Including disciples, elders, etc., the Changsheng Sect has more than 600 people, which is completely out of proportion.
They don't recruit people once a hundred years, they have other ways to recruit people.
Long Chen carefully observed the people sitting on the chairs. Some had their eyes open with gray-white pupils, and some had their eyes closed, as if they were asleep.
Everyone has a tube inserted into their left wrist with a wooden stopper on it.
Long Chen pulled out the cork and blood flowed out of the tube.
This tube is used to draw blood.
The wooden plug blocked the pipe, and Long Chen wanted to look for Long Weiyang in the crowd to see if he was here.
But Long Chen didn’t know Long Weiyang, and it had been more than two hundred years, so Long Weiyang might have disappeared long ago.
This must be the meat and vegetable garden that Long Weiyang mentioned.
They raise people to get blood, and the people of the Changsheng Sect are indeed sucking blood.
There is something wrong with this place!
Long Chen exited the cave and walked slowly outside.
The clothes on his body were soaked. Fortunately, the stone room was damp and the steps on the ground were slippery. Even if the water on his body fell on the ground, it would not be visible.
When he walked to the entrance of the cave, Long Chen listened carefully and made sure there was no one outside. Long Chen took off his clothes and rolled them up.
It's hot and humid inside the cave, but cold outside. If you go out wearing soaked clothes, you might freeze to death.
Not wearing any clothes is the best option, at least you won't get frozen.
After confirming that no one was around, Long Chen came out of the cave, hid in the dark, and ran all the way back to the yard.
Entering the room through the window, Long Chen got into bed.
call...
The warm bed board makes people feel refreshed instantly.
The soaked clothes were stuck to the bed board and dried slowly.
Lying on the bed, Long Chen slowly thought about what happened tonight.
The meat and vegetable garden exists, and there is no problem with what Long Weiyang said.
If the Changsheng Sect took action against Long Weiyang, they would definitely take action against Long Chen.
what to do?
Practicing Long Weiyang's skills may not necessarily kill the sect leader, and there are more than 200 masters in the Changsheng Sect. It will definitely not be easy to kill them alone.
Master Ziyun...Miaoyin...
Long Chen slowly thought about countermeasures...
The next morning, Long Chen was awakened by a knock on the door.
Opening the door, the black-faced disciple who delivered the meal stood at the door.
Long Chen took the food box and put it on the table, then took out three plates of food.
Looking at the three plates of meat, Long Chen thought of the scene last night again and felt sick in his heart.
I used to think that the venison was hunted in the forest. Although it was a bit weird, it was still edible.
Now that I know it, I really can't stop talking.
Long Chen only ate fish and threw the venison and poultry aside.
After eating haphazardly, Long Chen returned the food box to the black-faced disciple, put on his own clothes, and walked slowly up the mountain.
