Chapter Ninety-Two: The Strange Old Man
When he woke up again, he was in a cell with no light
The shackles on his body have been lifted, but the mana of his whole body has dried up and has not recovered
He turned over and coughed a few times, and found in his afterglow that there was an old man in this cell with gray hair, tattered, and coarse linen clothes, his face was also dirty, like an old man in the mortal world, watching Tao Yunqing wake up, but he didn't express any emotions, he was very indifferent
It's actually a Terran!
There are also human races in the barbarian continent, but in this continent, the status of the human race is low, and they generally live as slaves, and in the war period, the people here are even more as the rations of the barbarians
This old man, seeing Tao Yunqing looking at him, restrained his gaze at him
"You're from this continent?" Tao Yunqing asked
But he didn't answer, Tao Yunqing endured the pain and walked over, sat down next to him, he shrank in fear, moved into the distance, and the sound of chains mopping the floor sounded
Tao Yunqing noticed that the old man also had a pair of shackles, black and broken, it looked like he had been wearing them for many years, and the shackles were still connected to the wall, as if they were born by the wall, and they were tightly fixed to the wall, making the old man almost unable to move
On the contrary, Tao Yunqing didn't wear any shackles, at least he was still wearing shackles before, how could he throw them in the prison and take them off for him, these barbarians are too uncognizant, for monks, can a dungeon trap them? A hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of Tao Yunqing's mouth, and when his mana recovered, didn't he come out of such a dungeon?
But at the moment, he didn't think about these things, there was a gurgling sound in his stomach, thinking that he hadn't eaten Bigu Dan for a long time, and he was a little hungry at this time, but at this time he had no mana, and it was difficult to open the storage wrench
But when the drowsiness came, someone would bring pillows, and the skylight of the cell door would open, and some barbarian guards would throw down a pile of food, piled up as high as a hill, enough for seven or eight people to eat
Unexpectedly, the treatment in this cell was not bad, and as soon as Tao Yunqing wanted to walk over, the old man had already crawled over, protecting a large amount of food with his hands, for fear that Tao Yunqing would rob it
Tao Yunqing smiled: "You can't eat so much food alone!" ”
But the old man didn't care, he still occupied these foods, and stuffed them indiscriminately, not wanting to share with Tao Yunqing
Tao Yunqing frowned, this old man was really a little excessive, but he could also understand that people who had lived in dire straits for a long time, because they had so much delicious food, naturally wanted to take more of it
Naturally, he was embarrassed to snatch food for an old man who was over 100 and a half years old
He suddenly felt that this old man was also a little pitiful, living in a dark prison, starving all day long! The old man ate indecently, but he ate a lot, and he ate all the food that was enough for seven or eight big men, and after eating, the corners of his mouth were oily and he was full of burps
At this time, he suddenly glanced at Tao Yunqing with disdain
It seems that he thinks of himself as the boss of this cell
Tao Yunqing didn't care about him, otherwise even if he was injured now, this old man couldn't help the power of his thumb with one finger
At this moment, the barbarian on the upper room of the dungeon seemed to remember something, opened it and threw down a half-sized roast chicken, this time the old man did not rob Tao Yunqing, Tao Yunqing picked it up, dusted it, to be honest, he was a body cultivator, the amount of food was very large, and a roast chicken was barely enough to fill the belly
But the old man can also eat, and one person actually ate that pile of food, making it difficult for Tao Yunqing to imagine that a person's stomach can eat so many things
After Tao Yunqing finished eating, he began to meditate and refine his qi, and recovering his mana was the top priority, and he couldn't delay
Gradually, the wounds on Tao Yunqing's body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the flesh buds burst out, intertwined and recovered, although they would leave scars, but they would not produce dark wounds, and his face gradually became rosy
A night passed, Tao Yunqing felt that his mana had completely recovered, and the injuries on his body were almost healed, but the character imprint on his face had not recovered, and he tried to use mana to recover, but found that as soon as the mana entered the sea, he was nowhere to be found, which made him feel strange
Just when he was puzzled, there was a hissing cry in his ears, he opened his eyes, and found that it was poking half of its head out of its shoulder, and looked at the old man on the other side with a look of horror, and the old man was too, looking at the fat relic with some greed, licking his dry and white lips, revealing his white teeth, it seemed that he had taken the fat relic as food
Tao Yunqing frowned, although he felt that this old man was pitiful, but if there were no rules, he didn't mind giving him a little color
His face was slightly cold, and he wanted to use a spell to give him a dismount and ring a warning bell, but once his mana was out of his body and slightly manifested his power, it dissipated without a trace, which made him startled and jumped on the spot
"What's going on?"
Try again, it's still the same, he used his mana, tried to open the storage bag, and found that he couldn't at all, even a little mana, it couldn't leak out of his body
Mana was limited by his entire body, trapped in his skin, and even if he worked like a river and a sea, he couldn't release his mana
The physical body was like a coffin, locking up all his qi
Tao Yunqing can still refine qi, but he can't use mana, which means that he is now the same as a mortal, but the physical body fed back by mana is still strong and abnormal
But the power felt weakened a lot
He punched the fence of the dungeon, but how much strength did he have without a mana bonus? It only shook the fence, and it couldn't be broken at all
Tao Yunqing was extremely depressed, and still threw a punch, but the fact was that the fence was still strong
Only then did he realize that this iron fence was made of iron fine, and the degree of hardness was so high that he couldn't imagine it
"It is rumored that the great sects of the ancient kingdom all built prisons with iron * mothers and the like, it seems that they are honest and do not deceive me!" Tao Yunqing was unwilling, and punched hard, and the iron fence shook
"What's the noise? Don't want to live anymore? Hearing the sound, the barbarian who was guarding the prison muttered dissatisfiedly
"The newcomers are like this, leave them alone!"
Another barbarian guard said, "When the trouble is enough, it will stop!" ”
Tao Yunqing is extremely angry, and having no mana means that he has lost most of his abilities, he is not a pure physical cultivation after all! If you lose your mana, you lose the chance to escape from the barbarian hinterland!
At the moment, he can only wait and see what has changed, but he can also think about it, it is already a good thing that he is not dead at this time, anyway, the mana in his body is still normal, and his mana cannot be released, most of it is related to the imprint on his face, he reached out to touch it, and there was a faint burning sensation, he sat cross-legged and quietly experienced, this string of characters was like a maggot attached to the bone on his face, when the mana passed through that piece of tendon, it would always be absorbed, although it was not much, but it was endless, Tao Yunqing contrasted, but there was no way at all
Tao Yunqing was very sure that it was it that locked her mana!
In this way, for more than ten days in a row, Tao Yunqing has been staying in this cell to cultivate silently, but the existence of the imprint still has no effect, and there is no lotus lamp to assist, and it is extremely slow to enter the realm, it is not that he can't take out the lotus lamp, this is related to his divine sense, as long as he wants to, he can take it out, although his divine consciousness can't reveal the body!
But after all, there is an old man here, a secret treasure like the lotus lamp, he doesn't dare to divulge it to anyone!
It's this old man, after getting along for more than ten days, Tao Yunqing found it a little weird
Because every two or three days, a large pile of food will fall from the dungeon skylight, at first Tao Yunqing thought it was because of his own giving, but later found out that this was completely for this old man, he can indeed eat so much, and himself, the food is much simpler, sometimes there will be barbarians to give him some coarse grain, for this old man, they are like raising beasts
Tao Yunqing thought that he had looked away, and then at a chance, he caught his pulse and found that he was just an ordinary mortal, without the slightest mana, he saw Tao Yunqing's technique, he was a little angry, and shook off his hand
Tao Yunqing came to the conclusion that this is an ordinary old man, just able to eat, I really don't understand why those barbarians would spend so much food to support such a person
Perhaps, it has something to do with his identity, Tao Yunqing thought
On this day, Tao Yunqing had just nibbled on a few steamed buns, and the door of his cell was opened, and a few barbarians came
One of the leaders is actually a woman, and she looks relatively quiet, she is simply a peerless beauty compared to those barbarians, and she looks a little tall and rude compared to humans
She was dressed in animal skins, tight leather pants, her black and bright hair was tied in a ponytail, and her eyes were slightly deep, and her eyes were a little blue
Tao Yunqing saw her open the prison door, and saw that she was a leader, and felt that it was a good opportunity, so she suddenly made a move and grabbed her neck, trying to force these barbarians to submit, his mana was gone, but his body was still very strong
He has enough confidence that he has been observing these barbarian guards for a while, and they are not very strong!
"Don't-move!" Before he could say anything, he suddenly felt a cramping pain in his abdomen, and he was punched in the stomach, and his body flew out, shaking the strange wall made of unknown stones, and his intestines were twisted together in pain
This barbarian woman seems to be quiet, but she is so powerful, she beat Tao Yunqing to death with one punch
"Humph!" She was dismissive, turned around and said, "Take it away!" ”
The rest of the barbarians went out with Tao Yunqing
Tao Yunqing was thrown into a bright portal, which was full of people, Tao Yunqing frowned, and found that this was a colosseum, and above it was a crowd of black barbarians, who were looking down with excitement at this time, cheering in their mouths, like fierce beasts in heat, making him feel like watching monkeys in the zoo
And he's the monkey now
In the venue, there is already a group of people, about a hundred, there are men and women, old and young, the young are seven or eight years old, the old is old, some young people are wearing Taoist robes, probably captured border monks, all have a sad look, a look of vigilance, and there are not only human races, but also two strange people, with golden light on their bodies, with the help of the sun's rays, they look unusually abrupt, their common feature is that they have a brand on their faces, which is a symbol of their slave status
They are in separate camps and do not stand together
Tao Yunqing's appearance did not attract much attention, among the more than 100 people, he was indeed too ordinary
