Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 447 - 162: The Divine Envoy of the Great Revered One! Fan Wu, Who is Despised to the Bone by the Great Revered One! (A 10,000-word - , Please Subscribe)_2
If converted to Great Zhou Dynasty’s units of length, it was estimated to be... a height of one to two hundred zhang.
That was very high indeed.
Perceiving one gaze after another focusing on her, the Rat Bride couldn’t help but shudder, and with trembling fear, she answered, "Above... above there is the Rat Immortal Cave, I too don’t know why this place is almost devoid of any grass. Anyway... anyway, when my parents brought me here around a hundred years ago, it was already like this."
Xing Fengzi brushed off the dirt from his hands, puzzled, and touched his chin, "It was like this already a hundred years ago... In the middle of Nanjun, there’s actually such a place that even I didn’t know about."
Yun Jiuqing cast a glance at him, "Didn’t you say... you’ve always been cultivating within Di Zu Guan before this?"
Xing Fengzi was startled.
Indeed...
Right! When mentioned like that, was it very normal not to know about this desolate, uninhabited place?
The brief exchange among the group didn’t last long, and under the Rat Bride’s guidance, they arrived at the entrance of that cave.
As for Old Blue Ox and Nanjun County Prince, they were left at the foot of the mountain by Fan Wu.
Because of this somewhat steep mountain.
It wasn’t suited for Old Blue Ox to climb.
"Honorable sirs, please wait a moment," the Rat Bride said without daring to harbor any other thoughts, as she halted Fan Wu and the others’ advance. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Because her body was bound, she could only carefully use her tail to touch a part of the cave wall.
It seemed like she touched something, then pressed down on it.
Suddenly!
A bizarre sound of a mechanism was triggered, and the Rat Bride quickly explained, "To prevent my husbands from escaping the Rat Immortal Cave... we set up some mechanisms here to stop them from escaping. Anyone who tried to escape would be eliminated by the mechanism."
"Now... now the mechanisms here have been disabled by me, so... they won’t be triggered."
"Oh... there are mechanisms?" Yun Jiuqing was quite surprised, she thought if she, Daoist Priest Fan, and Xing Fengzi hadn’t fortuitously encountered Zheng Sanshi, wouldn’t Zheng Sanshi have spent a lifetime in this sunless and desolate wasteland?
Entering the cave.
They discovered it was a natural karst cave with numerous branching paths; however, it was pretty obvious that the Rat Immortal’s family had tidied up the cave quite well; the floor was relatively smooth.
"There’s the scent of living people." At that moment, Fan Wu suddenly looked towards a branch of the cave, asking, "Your seventy-two husbands, they should be in that place, right?"
The Rat Bride meekly answered with her head lowered, "That’s right..."
The group headed towards that branch and the scene before them caused Fan Wu’s expression not to change much.
But it caused the expressions of Yun Jiuqing and Xing Fengzi.
To undergo a drastic change.
Yun Jiuqing looked on, dumbfounded, at something resembling cages ahead; one section of the cave was blocked by iron bars, and on one side of those bars hung a huge lock.
Behind the iron bars were one person after another, but each and every one of them was stark naked.
This sight before her delivered a massive shock to the depths of Yun Jiuqing’s heart.
Even in various brothels, she had never seen such a scene of excess and debauchery.
Yun Jiuqing had visited brothels and seen the world.
Xing Fengzi, the somewhat innocent Taoist Priest, was utterly dumbstruck. He looked at person after person behind the iron bars, their faces numb and obviously emaciated.
Then he looked again at the Rat Bride, who was standing there with her head bowed.
"You you you..." Xing Fengzi was so shocked he stuttered, "You... you’re shameless!!!"
Having suppressed his words for quite a while, the only thing he could burst out was "You’re shameless," those four words.
The Rat Bride bowed her head even lower, defending, "The... the shame of humans doesn’t apply to Rat Immortal."
Xing Fengzi was left speechless.
Because he didn’t know how to rebut.
After all, what the Rat Bride said wasn’t wrong. Since the other party wasn’t human, how could one use human morals and shame to expect anything from her?
Yun Jiuqing finally recovered her senses from the shock and looked at the people with blind expressions, furrowing her brows as she spoke, "Those look utterly dazed and foolish; it seems like they are beyond saving. Having suffered such torment in this place without sunlight, they might all have developed hysterical disorders to some degree."
In kinder terms, they had developed hysterical disorders; in harsher words, they had gone mad.
They had all become mentally deranged.
Xing Fengzi fell silent for a moment, then said, "I’m not sure if this should be said, but after some thought, I still want to express... From the eyes of these people, I see a will to die. The only sanity they could have left, might just be the longing for death."
As he was about to say more, suddenly a commotion seemed to arise from outside.
At the same time, the Rat Bride’s expression greatly changed.
The Rat Bride hastily shook off the bamboo hat on her head.
And looked anxiously towards the direction outside the Rat Immortal Cave.
She exclaimed in alarm, "How come... how come they came a day earlier than what was agreed upon?"
