The stench of the pile of corpses was no use even covering their mouths and noses. Seeing this scene, some of the children burst into tears and ran back; others lay paralyzed on the ground; some were scared to the point of peeing their pants; and some, who were more daring, forced themselves to climb the corpse mound. It was a cruel test for these children who were only five or six years old.
When the man in black saw this situation, he smiled sinisterly and said,
"Interesting, really interesting!"
Yun Xi had a strong desire to live. For the sake of meeting her father and mother, she would endure all kinds of cruel trials.
Looking at the children who had climbed over the corpse mountain, the man in black continued, "Very good, you already have 30% chance of surviving. Looking at the children who had climbed over the corpse mountain, the man in black continued," Very good, you already have 30% chance of surviving.
When they finally arrived at the Red River, which was surrounded by a strong stench, Yun Xi walked in and felt a chill behind her back. She retreated a few steps timidly, because this was not a river, it was clearly a ditch full of blood, and as she looked at the bloody and stinky blood, Yun Xi hesitated a little. At this moment, she 'plopped' a few kids jumped into the pool of blood, and swam towards the other side with all her might. In front of her eyes, her parents smiling faces appeared. Finally, she swam past the blood canal. Arriving at the riverbank, she was so exhausted that she collapsed onto the ground.
Now the man in black is before them, he claps his hands and laughs, nodding and saying, "Very good, very good! This sovereign needs brave and fearless people like you, and you are the only ones who have a chance to continue living. "
He then waved his hand and saw that each of his men was holding onto a plate. The man in black said: "I had prepared 30 servings of the soy sauce before, but it seems like I won't need that much now. You guys went over the corpse mountain and swam through the blood channel, so you guys must be hungry now, right? This plate is filled with the best soy sauce meat, and eating it will give you a 90% chance of survival. "
With that, the man in black gave a signal to his disciples. The disciples walked up and placed the plates on the ground, and a rich fragrance wafted into the air.
"It smells so good!" Yun Xi took a deep breath and climbed over to the plate slowly. It had been over a year since he went to his uncle's house and tasted the meat. Seeing that her other friends were already starting to gobble up the meat, Yun Xi did not hesitate anymore. She grabbed the meat on the plate and started to wolf it down.
Seeing these children eating like wolves and tigers, the black clothed man laughed maliciously: "Actually, there isn't much of a difference between humans and beasts. If you push a person to the limit, you will become a beast, hmph! "Eat, eat, eat with all your might. You can buy as much as you want, hehe …"
Yun Xi finished the meat on the plate and added more. The man in black came and squatted down, stroking her forehead and asked gently, "Is it delicious?" Yun Xi looked at him timidly and nodded. The man in black wiped her face with his sleeve and continued, "As long as you are obedient, there will always be meat for you to eat."
It had been a long time since someone had caressed her head like this. She couldn't help but think of her parents. Suddenly, her nose turned sour and she started crying loudly.
Just then, two rays of cold light shot out from behind the mask. The black clothed man looked like a different person as he shouted at her, "Don't cry! "You don't need something as useless as emotions here?" Then he stood up, his eyes still cold and fierce. He looked up to the sky and murmured, "If an assassin has feelings, from that moment on, he is destined to be a dead man."
At this moment, a child raised his childish face and asked, "Uncle, where are my companions?"
"Hum, hum, hum …" The man in black sneered, "Your little companions have already become one with you. You are them, and they are also you. You will never be able to separate them."
The boy looked at him in confusion and nodded. Suddenly, he smiled and said in a childish voice, "That's great, my partner has been by my side the whole time." After a while, he raised his head and asked, "Then why didn't I see them?"
"Hehehe …" The black-clothed man caressed his head and said, "Although you didn't see them, they could see you and your heart. Perhaps in the future, you might see them."
Then, he changed the topic, "From today onwards, all twenty of you will become disciples of the Moon Worshipping School, and in the future, there will be someone who will teach you techniques. You will all have to diligently practice, and ten years later, I will choose three of you from among the rest, which means to say, there are only three people who can survive until the end.
"Yes, Moon — Great — People —" The children mimicked the appearance of the adults as they cupped their fists in front of their chests and spoke in a childish voice.
Time flew by quickly as he used Stellar Transposition. Ten years had passed in the blink of an eye. Leng Yunxi was now seventeen years old. After ten years of cruel training, her body was filled with hostility and she no longer had the kindness and gentleness from before. Her deep eyes were filled with a ghastly coldness, like an ice lake that would never melt, without a trace of warmth.
