The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 223: Continuation of the Race

On the other side, Huo Yuanruo and Qingyu were a bit faster than Li Mulan and the others. They had strong internal strength and could move freely in the underground cave where there were almost no people.

"Sister Qingyu, it's such a big underground space, how come there are no people in sight?"

"There are definitely people there, but I don't know where they are concentrated right now. Many of the rooms we just saw are obviously occupied."

"Then let's go ahead and take a look." Suddenly, Huo Yuanruo's nose moved, "It seems that there is a smell of food."

Qingyu also sniffed carefully, "No, Yuanruo, are you hungry?"

Huo Yuanruo felt a little embarrassed. He was indeed a little hungry, but he was also sure that he was not mistaken. His dog nose was blowing. "Really, sister, follow me."

Sure enough, they soon arrived at the kitchen, which was brightly lit and had more than a dozen people busy at work.

Huo Yuanruo raised an eyebrow at Qingyu, who laughed and gave him a thumbs up.

Although there seemed to be a lot of people in the kitchen, everyone was doing their job and almost no one was talking. The two looked around and saw a small dark space on the top of the right side of the kitchen. Using Qinggong, the two of them instantly reached the top of those people's heads.

With a "clang", an iron plate fell down.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes all looked in the direction where the plate fell. The man next to the plate was also a little at a loss, "It seemed like there was wind just now."

One of the fat bald men glared at him and said, "Be careful, we are underground, there is no wind here."

The man trembled and said, "Yes."

The bald man looked down on the man's cowardice and said, "Go and take the pig food to the dungeon for me."

"Yes."

The man was small in stature, and he felt a little troubled when he saw the buckets of food that were almost heavier than him.

The bald man got angry when he saw him like this and kicked him on the butt, "Useless thing."

Then he instructed a taller man beside him, "Mutan, go with Supi."

The man named Mutan glanced at the short Supi, put down the big iron spoon in his hand, went to the corner of the kitchen to get a shoulder pole, and said, "Let's go."

The two men carried the bucket of black stuff and left.

Huo Yuanruo exchanged a glance with Qingyu and followed decisively.

"Look at you, why are you so timid? Harlem didn't scold you, so what are you afraid of?"

Harlem is the fat bald man who is in charge of the kitchen.

Su Pi felt a little aggrieved, "I don't know either. I get nervous when he talks."

Mutan sighed and moved the carrying pole from his shoulder to his arm. Supi was short, so this would be easier for him.

"Harlin just looks fierce, but he's a nice guy."

"But he is of pure blood, not like us."

Mutan and Supi are both children born to Chiya people and outsiders. In fact, there are many such people here. After hundreds of years, they have been secluded from the world, and the number of people with pure blood is decreasing.

In order to continue their race, they had to find some people from outside to continue their offspring. They would capture some women from the mountain, and there was no way that children with their blood would be left behind.

Mu Tan sneered, "Bloodline is bullshit, only those old guys care about it. For us, as long as we can stay alive, that's all."

Su Pi actually envied Mu Tan very much. He was courageous and didn't care at all about his bloodline. He was a righteous man. Even though his bloodline was not pure, people here still looked up to him. Unlike him, who was timid, no one liked him.

"Mutan, do you still want to go out?"

Mu Tan slowed down his pace and said, "I think about it. I dream about it. Ever since my mother passed away, I have wanted to go out and see the outside world every day."

“Is the world outside nice?”

Mu Tan's eyes were filled with longing. "I went out shopping with Harlin three years ago. People outside are different from us. Their faces are clean, without patterns like ours. People outside are very enthusiastic and very..." Mu Tan frowned, unable to find an adjective for a moment. "They live better and happier than us. They are busy with many things every day and it's very fulfilling. The time outside is very bright, unlike here where it's pitch black all day. The sky outside is very blue, the sun is very bright. In short, everything is beautiful."

Besides, his mother tried her best to escape, so the world outside must be a good place...

Su Pi was a little unconvinced and spoke cautiously, "But the high priest said that it's very dangerous outside."

"Tsk, that's because he doesn't want you to go out. Of course, he's just trying to fool little fools like you. I don't believe it."

"Shh!" Su Pi looked around cautiously, and was relieved when he found that there was no one else. "Be careful when you speak, or else someone will hear you, and you'll be dead."

"I know. I watched."

The two stopped talking, and in just a quarter of an hour, they arrived at a place that looked like a dungeon, with several Chiya people guarding the door.

"Hey, Mutan, why are you here today?"

Mutan glanced at Supi and said, "Come and help. Here, you guys feed the first bucket. There are still several buckets. We will go back and carry them."

"Okay, bring me two steamed buns when you come. I'm hungry, so I can eat first."

"it is good."

After the two left, Huo Yuanruo and Qingyu did not follow them this time.

Just now, I said it was pig food, and Huo Yuanruo really thought it was for feeding pigs. But...

The two people hiding in the dark looked at the people lying in the prison in all directions. Judging from their attire, they were all ordinary people from the mountain, but they were all unconscious at the moment. Only their weak breathing showed that they were still alive.

Two of the guards were seen holding something like a funnel and carrying a bucket of "pig food" into the cell.

The following operation surprised Huo Yuanruo and Qingyu even more. They saw the two men skillfully insert the funnel into the unconscious person's mouth, and use a spoon to scoop a spoonful of "pig food" into it. The movements were very fast, and with one spoonful each, the bucket of "pig food" was soon empty.

Huo Yuanruo was extremely angry. They didn't even treat those people as human beings. He clenched his fists tightly and really wanted to rush forward and knock those two people down.

After feeding a bucket of "pig food", one of them kicked one of the people in disgust and said, "You still want me to serve you pigs? Humph, what a waste of time. You are going to die anyway, and you are wasting our food."

Another person who was with him said something to comfort him, "Just bear with it for a few more days, it will be fine after the sacrifice is over."

"Hey, I don't know if we can get any holy water during this sacrifice."

"You are twenty this year?"

"Yes, I am of pure blood and I am twenty years old. Logically, it should be my turn, but I haven't received any notification. It's so annoying."

"Don't worry, the Holy Envoy is very careful and will never leave you behind."

"Hopefully."
