Chapter 328
328 Devil’s Den
To the North of Shangjing was Mount ping. Further north of Mount ping was the wilderness of Shangjing. There was less land and more mountains here. The mountains were crisscrossed and stacked endlessly. It was where the courtyards and private manors of the high officials and nobles of Shangjing were located. The Royal hunting garden was also in the North.
More than 20 miles away from ping mountain, there was a Grand Feng mountain. The scenery of Grand Feng mountain was beautiful. There were Springs and waterfalls everywhere, and streams flowed. It was the coolest in summer, so there were many summer manors and villas in the mountain.
At the foot of Mount Fengtai, there was also a Garrison Corps “barracks, where a division of soldiers was stationed. At night, the lights on Mount Fengtai were scattered. The lights on the mountain and the lights in the barracks reflected each other, giving off a different kind of mortal atmosphere.
Tonight, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Mount Fengtai was as quiet as usual.
Under the starry sky, a mischievous figure that ordinary people couldn’t see was running toward Mount Fengtai from Shangjing.
The figure didn’t fly or leave. In a flash, it was already several miles away. It was so fast that it was difficult to catch.
In the blink of an eye, that figure flashed to the foot of Mt. Fengtai and directly barged into the garrison Corps “barracks. He walked around the barracks, warehouses, training grounds, and Armory. After a round, he seemed to find that there was no fun in the barracks and seemed to have remembered the purpose of his visit. The figure then left the barracks and in a flash, he passed by a team of soldiers who were checking the checkpoints on the road outside the barracks. With another flash, he said, That figure appeared at the top of the attic of a villa halfway up the mountain. With the third flash, he had already arrived at the top of Mount Fengtai, standing in front of a huge villa that occupied a large area.
There was a black plaque with golden words on it that hung at the entrance of the manor. On it were the words ” red leaf Manor “.
The red leaves Manor was surrounded by a maple forest, hence the name.
It was Midsummer, and the Maple leaves in the mountains had not yet turned red, so there was nothing special about it.
The gate of the manor under the plaque was like a City Tower. When the Child of Fortune arrived, the gate of the red leaf Manor was tightly shut. Two red lanterns were hung at the gate, and under the lanterns were two strong men in dark red Guard uniforms. They had cold expressions and held the knives at their waists. Their eyes were cold as they watched the mountain road leading to the manor.
From the outside, other than the grandeur and the fact that the red leaf villa occupied a large area, there did not seem to be anything special.
However, in terms of magnificence, the owners who could build manors and courtyards here were not short of money. The villas, courtyards, and private gardens on the mountain were all in their own style.
The naughty boy of fortune deity jumped onto the shoulders of the two guards and started to move from one head to the other. The two guards didn’t feel anything.
At this moment, a low-profile black carriage came from the winding mountain road. Four black horses were pulling the carriage, and the people in the carriage were either rich or noble.
When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the red leaf villa, the person in the carriage did not open the door. He only opened the window slightly, revealing a white and chubby hand. He handed out a Maple leaf-shaped card in his hand. A guard at the door stepped forward to check it, then looked at the person sitting in the carriage, before turning around and waving his hand.
Only then did the pitch-black Gate of the Maple Leaf villa open slowly and silently, revealing the passage for the carriage to enter. After the carriage entered the villa, the gate was closed again. It was tightly shut, blocking all the scenery inside the villa.
The Child of Fortune rode on the horse and entered the villa with a smile on his face.
Behind the gate of the manor was a bamboo forest, which was high and dense like a barrier. The carriage passed through the bamboo forest and went straight to the inside of the manor. On both sides of the road, there were murmuring creeks, the water of which was steaming and clear. The antique stone lamps on the roadside had been lit, giving out bright yellow light. The light and the mist in the creeks intertwined, making the place bright and dark. The whole place was filled with the fragrance of flowers, making it like a paradise.
The child God of Fortune was not content with his place.
As soon as they entered the red leaves Manor, the carriage had not even traveled a few dozen meters when the Child of Fortune disappeared from his horse. In the next second, he had arrived near a group of patrolling guards and was jumping up and down on their shoulders. In the next second, the Child of Fortune had arrived at the bamboo forest. There were a few special figures in the bamboo forest that had attracted the Child of Fortune’s attention.
One of them was underground, one was transparent and was hidden in some bamboos, one was in a stream, and one was in the mist.
Even with the eyes of a Summoner, it was almost impossible to find these figures, because these figures were all Summoners in the state of casting spells. They were hiding in different forms in the bamboo forest as if they did not exist. Only in the eyes of the child of Fortune did these Summoners stand out.
Other than the few Summoners, there were also traps hidden in the bamboo forest. On the ground, on the ground, in the bamboo leaves, in the streams, in the fog, there were all sorts of deadly spell traps and mechanisms. There were also powerful Summoners lying in ambush. Whoever tried to sneak into the red leaf villa through the forest would only be met with death.
The Child of Fortune strolled around the bamboo forest and looked through all the traps and mechanisms. In the next second, he flashed out of the bamboo forest and returned to the horse carriage that had entered the red leaf Manor.
The carriage had already stopped in a parking lot behind the bamboo forest.
The door of the carriage opened, and a white, chubby man with black hair and no wrinkles on his face stepped out of the carriage. This man had the air of an official, and one look was enough to tell that he was someone who was in a high position and lived a comfortable life.
A tall and thin Man in Black clothes and two 11-or 12-year-old boys greeted him respectfully by the car door.
The two boys were very handsome, but their eyes were a little dull.
“Lord li, long time no see!”
Seeing the White and fat man with the big belly get off the car, the tall and thin man greeted him with a smile.
ah, the city has been in a mess for the past two days. His Majesty is very angry, and the Lords are busy, so I can only accompany them. Just now, on the way, we passed through several rounds of inspection. I have to go back tonight! Lord Li said as he walked.
I understand. Everything has been arranged for you. Everything is fresh and will not waste your time. Please follow me for a walk. Lord li followed the tall and thin man to a villa next door.
The thin and tall man walked Lord li to the gate of the villa before making a gesture to invite him in, ” the things are inside. Lord, you can enjoy them inside!
“The effect of the last vial of the unaging blood essence wasn’t very good!” Lord Li said fastidiously.
“Lord li, don’t worry. We’ve already replaced them with a new batch. Lord li will know once you try the ageless blood essence this time!”
hahahaha, that’s great, that’s great! hearing that there was a new ‘unaging blood essence’, Lord Li’s eyes lit up. He couldn’t help but lick his lips and push open the door of the villa impatiently.
What Lord li didn’t know was that the Child of Fortune was sitting on his head, following him into the room.
There was a red box on the table on the first floor of the villa.
Lord li was very familiar with the process. He walked straight to the table and opened the box.
Inside the box was a transparent glass bottle that was as thick as a thumb and as long as a palm. Beside the glass bottle were two pieces of ice that were emitting wisps of cold air. The glass bottle was filled with a blood-red liquid that seemed to be blood.
At the sight of that glass bottle, Lord li hurriedly picked it up, opened its mouth and poured all the blood-red liquid into his mouth. He even licked his lips in satisfaction.
After drinking up the liquid, Lord li sat on the sofa on his side with eyes closed as if he was tasting the liquid. Under the gaze of the Fortune boy, in less than 5 minutes, Lord Li’s face had started to glow as if he was full of spirit and energy. Even the fine wrinkles at his eye corners had been smoothed.
“This is good stuff!” Lord li sighed in satisfaction.
The Child of Fortune jumped onto the table, stretched out his finger, and touched the glass bottle that Lord li had just taken.
It was human blood in the bottle, but not ordinary human blood, but the blood of a child. Different from ordinary blood, the blood seemed to contain vitality similar to that of God’s strength.
Touched the blood in the bottle, Fu Shen Tong Zi instantly sensed where the owner of the blood was. With a flash, he disappeared from the villa.
The next second, the Child of Fortune appeared in a dark underground prison.
“No, don’t! Yingluo!”
“Save me, Yingluo!”
“Mommy, mommy, I want mommy Yingluo!”
“Ah, it hurts! Yingluo, it hurts! Yingluo!”
The underground prison was like the hell. There were iron cages on both sides of the tunnel. In the narrow iron cages, children were wailing loudly like animals.
Rows of iron cages were placed together like a breeding ground.
This place was the children’s hell!
As soon as the child God of Fortune appeared, his ears were filled with countless screams and pleas for mercy. Those screams and pleas came from the countless children in the cages in this underground prison.
Those children were male and female, all aged above 3 years old and below 10 years old. They were locked in iron cages; some were hung upside down by iron chains with numerous wounds on their bodies; some were being fed medicine; some were having their blood drawn; some were suffering unimaginable abuse.
At first glance, there were thousands of children locked up in the dungeon.
Everything here was like an assembly line, proceeding in an orderly manner. A group of people in white clothes were busy tidying up the place.
