Liu Ling blinked and took a jade hairpin from her own head, then drew on the wall.

  Without using much force, a scratch was drawn on the wall, bringing down a few fragments of stone.

  Lin Qingyao looked at Liu Ling in surprise: "Sister... what's this?" Could it be a treasure?

  "This was given to me by my senior brother, and it doesn't have much use in daily life, but it's quite sharp."

  Lin Qingyao couldn't help but pounce on Liu Ling and take a bite out of her! This Liu Ling, from head to toe, was full of treasures. Even the hairpin she casually wore turned out to be a magical artifact!

  Although it is said that the two people have no spiritual power now, the treasure is after all a treasure, and wanting to dig open this ordinary stone wall made of brick and mortar is not what difficult matter.

  Two people took turns digging, the sound of gentle tapping echoed in the cell, but the cell was quite soundproof, and the blood clan also thought that Lin Qingyao and others had no way to escape, so there was no one guarding outside the cell.

  Lin Qingyao and Liu Ling did not plan to break through the wall and escape. The two were now completely out of spiritual power, and they were also unfamiliar with the layout of this underground palace. Even if they could escape from the prison cell, it was unlikely that they would be able to get out of the underground palace. And even if they got out of the underground palace, they might not be able to escape the deep mountains in time to report back.

  The most comprehensive solution at present is to quickly chisel a hole in the wall and teach these people how to cultivate, if someone can successfully guide the air into their body, then they can inform the Huaxia team.

  Lin Qingyao and Liu Ling took turns using the emerald-green hairpin to dig at the wall, in order to facilitate hiding, the hole was dug in the innermost corner of the wall, and there were some dry grasses in the stone cell for prisoners to lie on, which could be used to block the hole.

  In this underground palace, some kind of formation should have been set up. Although it is an underground palace and a dark sky, it is not as dark as the day without the sun, giving people a sense of emptiness. Although it's not as bright as daylight, you can still see things clearly.

  Two people came in at night and didn't know how long it took. They saw that two people had already dug halfway through.

  The small window below the iron gate was suddenly opened by someone, and then a pair of pale hands stretched in and put down some things.

  "You'd better all shut up and eat, so you can hold on for a few more days. Otherwise, you'll all be drained of blood and die soon!" The voice was hoarse and carried a sinister tone.

  After that person left, Liu Ling walked over to take a look and called out: "Junior sister, the food here is actually quite good, you see, they're all meat dishes!" Liu Ling said as she looked at a plump, oily roasted chicken.

  "Those blood clans are afraid that if people die, there will be less blood produced in the future, so they won't be stingy with these foods."

  Liu Ling snorted: "This group of people is really too bad, this is to treat people as livestock, even pigs need to be let out for some fresh air!"

  Perhaps because she had an escape plan in mind, Lin Qingyao didn't feel particularly afraid. She looked at Liu Lingdao and said, "Whatever their goal is, as long as they want to drink our blood, they won't want to poison us. Let's eat something."

  Now that both of their spiritual powers are sealed and they're physically weak, if they don't replenish their energy by eating something soon, they'll eventually become lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

  In order to save time, they ate while working, and the two of them ate separately, without stopping digging holes.

  When the stone cave was about to be broken through, Lin Qingyao used her divine sense to scan the situation inside the opposite stone room and found that they were all pale-faced women. She then struck with force and broke open the stone cave.

  The cave is not big, only fist-sized.

  The best stone in the stone cave was knocked into the adjacent stone prison, and the sound of the stone falling to the ground startled the people in the adjacent stone prison.

  "Ah, how can there be such a big rat hole in here?" A woman said with doubt.

  "Wu Mei, don't bother looking, it's no use. Look at that small stone cave, even if you have the shrinking bone technique, you won't be able to escape."

  Lin Qingyao's clear voice asked: "People opposite us, are you all from Chuan City?"

  Although she had already guessed their identities, Lin Qingyao still wanted to confirm it.

  "Ah, someone is speaking!" said a woman in gray clothes from the stone cell next door, who was just called Wu Mei.

  Wu Mei bent down and looked out from inside the stone cave.

  Wu Mei felt that she was really unlucky, she was a village girl, her mother gave birth to her and left early, and her father found her a stepmother.

  This stepmother was either beating or scolding her, she didn't finish elementary school and was forced to drop out of school to work at home, earning money to support her younger half-brother.

  Wu Mei looks good, which gives her a thought, that is, waiting to grow up and marry into a good family, she can also leave this life behind.

  But who would have thought that just over a month ago, her stepmother had the idea of marrying her off to raise money for her brother's university tuition and to buy him a computer, and actually arranged an absurd engagement for her.

  He was a lame old man, twelve or thirteen years older than her. Because he agreed to give her stepmother 50,000 yuan as betrothal gift, her stepmother decided to marry her off to him.

  Although it is said that in today's society, such arranged marriages are no longer common, but in some poor and backward small mountain villages, such things are indeed rare.

  Wu Mei certainly couldn't accept such a fate, and she quarreled with her father and stepmother. Who would have thought that for the sake of their son, her father and stepmother joined forces to lock her up, saying something about waiting for uncooked rice to become cooked rice, and now everything was beyond her control.

  Wu Mei thought of this home and felt disheartened, all these years she had not left, just for her own father, who knew that now he was also so ruthless.

  For the sake of her son, she can even disregard her daughter's happiness!

  Wu Mei gritted her teeth and pried open the window to escape.

  But she had never left the mountain village, didn't even finish elementary school, couldn't recognize a few characters, and didn't have a penny on her. As soon as she came out, she was cheated by a man.

  The man spoke eloquently and said that as long as she was willing to marry him, he would treat her well for the rest of her life.

  At that time, she almost believed it to be true. If she hadn't been cautious and inquired about the man around her, her life would have been completely ruined!

  This man is actually a human trafficker who sells women! His purpose is to cheat her into the mountain village and marry her off to some men who can't find wives.

  Wu Mei was deceived like this, and she wandered listlessly on the street, wanting to find a foothold for herself in this city. But who knew that what she would face next was an even more desolate fate.

  She actually saw a monster and was caught and locked up in a stone prison. Every day someone would come to let her blood.

  She really didn't want to give up, unwilling to end her life like this, dying in this stone prison due to excessive blood loss, without even anyone knowing she had died...

  Wu Mei leaned against the stone cave and looked across, a pair of bright and clear eyes appeared in front of her, making her, as a woman, unable to help but feel a little dazed.

  "Who are you? Were you also caught and brought here?" Wu Mei's voice was trembling, but within that tremble, there was a hint of resilience.

  Liu Ling hastily rushed over and lay down at the entrance of the cave, asking: "Tell me first, were you caught by those large flesh birds?"

  "Meat birds?" Wu Mei repeated, then suddenly burst out laughing: "It's those meat birds that caught us!"

  It was the first time Wu Mei had laughed since she was caught, and every time she thought of those terrifying bats, known as "flesh birds", she found it funny, and even felt that those bats weren't so scary after all.

  "Wu Mei, don't lean on that, leaning on it won't do you any good. The people opposite us are just like us, they can't help you either." A voice with a hint of mockery came over.

  Wu Mei lay down there and started chatting with Lin Qingyao and Liu Ling.

  "Don't worry, we'll definitely rescue those who have gone out!" Liu Ling promised solemnly.

  Wu Mei couldn't help but laugh. These two little girls in front of her were even younger than her, how could they possibly rescue her? It was truly a case of "youth unaware of the taste of worry", they had no strength to bind a chicken, what could they use to fight against those fierce and cruel demons?

  Lin Qingyao felt Wu Mei's distrust and said: "As long as you can believe us, I believe that we will definitely be able to escape."

  For some reason, Wu Mei felt that the words in front of her, spoken from Lin Qingyao's mouth, which was steady and not like a girl of her age, gave her an inexplicable sense of conviction.

  "What do you need me to do?" Wu Mei asked sincerely, a country girl who may be considered clever but mostly still very innocent.

  Lin Qingyao used her divine sense to "see" the people in the stone cell next door, and there were a total of seven women.

  At this moment, only Wu Mei was enthusiastic about them.

  Lin Qingyao knew that convincing these people to cultivate together wouldn't be an easy task, after all, there shouldn't be many people who were willing to believe her, being unrelated and unacquainted.

  She first tried to persuade Wu Mei: "Wu Mei, do you know who the people are that brought you here?"

  "Wu Mei's face turned pale with fear: 'It's a monster! A monster that can transform into a bat!'"

  "They're not monsters, just a group of people with special bloodlines."

  Lin Qingyao tried to make her tone sound convincing: "They are Western blood clans, you may not know that in this world, there are many things that are difficult to understand. Blood clans are powerful, but our Huaxia country is not without any resistance."

  "Hua Xia has a group of cultivators whose powers are much higher than those of the blood clans." In order to make these people believe, she intentionally exaggerated some facts.
