“Che! Make it sound like you know my parents!”
White Mist laughed.
“I’m not thinking of your safety!”
Lin Ran was speechless.
“Alright no more nonsense with you, you dig first, I’ll go check again! I’ll come back to you if I have any news!”
White Mist said as he got up and walked towards the cave entrance.
Lin Ran sighed helplessly, if he could have such treasures, wouldn’t this place be wherever he wanted to go!
This ninny, White Mist, really didn’t mind.
When she walked next to Chen Fei at the door, she actually poured a cup of water from the side directly onto Chen Fei’s head.
“Who did that!”
Chen Fei was furious, but he got up and saw that the people inside were all busy in a frenzy.
Obviously it wasn’t the person inside who did it, so he was so angry that he turned around and left the cave.
Lin Ran laughed at this and continued to work on the matter at hand!
….
That day, Lin Ran, Seven Thousand and the others dug for ten hours before they were finally able to go back and rest.
Lin Ran was fine, after all, he had enough true qi in his body.
But Seven Thousand and the others were having a harder time!
They already had very little true qi in their bodies.
When they returned to the dungeon, they were so tired that they could not move.
Some of them had even not even eaten their dinner and had simply fallen asleep.
“Get up!”
Suddenly a voice broke the calm of the dungeon.
At this moment, the crowd could be said to be the most tired and should be able to get rest.
Otherwise, if they all died out, the Divine Shadow Clan would still have to go and find people to come and serve as hard labourers.
But now, it was clear that they couldn’t rest.
Lin Ran looked up and found that the one speaking was none other than Chen Fei!
And at this moment, he was followed by several henchmen beside him, each with a cold and stern aura, as if they were about to eat someone!
“Chen Fei! What do you want again!”
Seven Thousand looked at Chen Fei and asked impatiently.
“What do you think I’m up to? In the afternoon, splashing me with water thinking this was over?”
Chen Fei said as he swept his gaze over the crowd present, a cold smile in his eyes.
“I’ll count to three, and if no one comes forward to admit it, then ten lashes each!”
“You! Who are you to do that!”
“That’s right, what proof do you have that we did it!”
“Yeah, where’s the proof!”
The people next to them shouted.
“Evidence? My words are the proof!”
Chen Fei waved his hand with a disdainful expression.
“Give me a fight!”
“Yes!”
The men next to him answered, and immediately turned towards the whips and greeted them towards the crowd.
In an instant the whole dungeon was simply buzzing with activity.
A roar of anger rang out endlessly.
But no one dared to react to Chen Fei, after all, if they did not resist, they would only receive two lashes!
But if he resisted, he would probably receive more than two lashes!
Lin Ran stood on the sidelines, watching this scene with an incomparable amount of anger in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
This was how one had to bow down under the eaves of the house.
Chen Fei led the men to beat them for half an hour, and only when he felt relieved did he lead them out of the place.
The beating was so severe that the already tired people could not even eat.
“D*mn it! What kind of life is this? I might as well die!”
Finally someone started to hold back.
“Right! Or we’ll fight them!”
Immediately, someone echoed.
“Fight? What are you going to do? Even the God Beating Whip is enough for us!”
“Then we’ll just wait here to die?”
The crowd murmured angrily.
And when Seven Thousand, who was at the side, saw Lin Ran not speaking, he came over.
“What’s wrong? Intimidated?”
Lin Ran smiled and spoke.
Seven Thousand patted Lin Ran’s shoulder and laughed.
“It’s your misfortune to be here, and your great fortune!”
“At least you can still meet your brothers and sisters, many people might not even have an acquaintance for company when they die!”
“Resign yourself to fate, the cultivation world is like this, on the way to cultivation, sometimes it takes a bit of luck!”
Seven Thousand lamented.
“Haven’t you guys ever thought about escaping?”
Lin Ran suddenly spoke up and asked.
Seven Thousand smiled and crossed his arms.
“Escaping? You’ve only just arrived and don’t know the situation here at all!”
“The leader of this place is incredibly powerful, it’s not like no one has ever thought about escaping before, but do you know what the result was?”
“What?”
Lin Ran asked.
“The result was that the person who tried to set out was beaten on the spot and his soul was scattered, and his divine sense was even sealed directly into a puppet by the Ghost King!”
“It can be said that there’s no way to get out for the rest of his life!”
Seven Thousand said helplessly.
However, Lin Ran could hear it really well.
“Who are you talking about? The Ghost King? Who is the Ghost King?”
“The Ghost King is the most powerful being here, with heavenly strength!”
Seven Thousand explained.
“Alright, go to bed early! Tomorrow maybe Chen Fei will do something else!”
Said Seven Thousand, who also stopped talking, turned around and went back to his position to start resting.
Lin Ran listened but his heart was shocked.
Ghost King! The Ghost King!
Could this Ghost King be the same Ghost Lord that he had encountered at the Immortal Sound Pavilion back then?
It shouldn’t be possible, according to what Seven Thousand said, this Ghost King should be of a very high status!
Such a person would actually lower his status to collude with the Moon Sword Mortal?
Lin Ran was a little puzzled.
But there was no hurry, after all, he had only been here for a day, and he didn’t know much about the situation here.
If he found a suitable opportunity to leave, he would certainly meet this Ghost King then.
Whether or not this Ghost King is the Lord of Ghosts will be clear in due course.
Time pa*sed day by day, and three days had pa*sed in the blink of an eye.
In these three days, Chen Fei did not come looking for trouble.
He didn’t even see anyone.
From what Seven Thousand said, there were thousands of diggers like them in this base!
Chen Fei had two other places to take care of, so he wasn’t able to come and keep an eye on them every day!
And through these three days, Lin Ran had discovered something.
That was that the metal material in this ore that was being used to refine the puppets was extraordinary.
Not only was it extremely tough, but it was also extremely durable, a very good material of sorts.
No wonder the Divine Shadow Clan wanted to smelt puppets here.
It was just that this material was very difficult to refine, and Lin Ran tried refining some of it, but it turned out to be a thumb-sized piece of ore that only ended up using a beaten amount of ore.
And this was already very good, after all, Lin Ran’s strength was there.
Just when Lin Ran didn’t know how much longer he had to hold back, this night White Mist finally returned!
“How was it?”
Seeing White Mist come back, Lin Ran was also looking forward to it.
White Mist was now like his eyes, and all of his next actions would depend on the slightest bit of information she poked back.
“I’ve made a major discovery, a chance to make a move of sorts, but it’s all up to you whether you want to risk it or not!”
White Mist said with a serious face.
“Tell me about it!”
Lin Ran said.
White Mist thought for a moment and said.
“Recently in the third area, there is a puppet that happens to be in need of repair, and this puppet is a heavenly rank puppet!”
“If you can find a way to take control of this puppet, you should be able to resist the white long whip’s attack on your soul!”
“However, I can’t guarantee that if you take on that mysterious person!”
“The only thing you can be sure of is that by taking control of the puppet, at least those long white whips will have no use against your soul!”
Lin Ran fell into contemplation at his words.
This was indeed an opportunity.
