Mysteries of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 83 Human Leather Boots
Rong Wanyin felt a chill run down her spine. The shelves were filled with human-skin boots. How many people had they killed? The patterns on the human-skin boots were intricate and beautifully crafted, yet they still gave her a chill.

Judging from the length of these boots, the skin must have been peeled directly from the base of the thigh, so that such complete human skin boots can be made.

Rong Wanyin followed the sound and went around to the back of the shelf. It turned out that the sound was made by two rabbits. They were locked in a cage with a stone at the bottom of the cage. As long as the rabbits moved in the cage, the cage would swing back and forth and make noises.

Rong Wanyin was shocked. Oh no, someone deliberately tricked her in!
Rong Wanyin didn't care about anything else and quickly stood up and wanted to go out. Suddenly, she felt weak all over and dizzy. She held onto a shelf and finally managed to steady herself.

At this time, there was a "bang" sound from the cave entrance, which was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, followed by another "bang" sound, which was the floor tiles at the entrance being covered back, and then there was the sound of a heavy object being moved.

Oh no, someone blocked the entrance!
"Changfeng!" Rong Wanyin held onto the wall and went towards the exit. She climbed up the ladder with difficulty and used all her strength to push the floor tile - no, the floor tile could not be pushed open at all.

"Changfeng! Changfeng!" Rong Wanyin knocked on the floor tiles, making a "dong dong" sound, but Changfeng did not respond.

The night answered with silence.

The oil lamp burned out, then the kerosene lamp went out, and in an instant the cellar fell into pitch black silence. Rong Wanyin could only hear the tiny sounds made by the two rabbits, a trapped beast fighting in vain.

After an unknown amount of time, heavy, dragging footsteps could be heard from above the cellar, each step accompanied by a muffled "thump." Rong Wanyin instantly became alert. The person coming was a cripple!
Immediately afterwards, a shrill sound was heard. It was the sound of floor tiles being moved. The person wanted to open the floor tiles!

Rong Wanyin hid behind a shelf, but the cellar was only this big, and it was only a matter of time before she was discovered.

Creaking sound was getting closer and closer, and the man was coming down the stairs!
"Hehehe... little rabbit... stop hiding and come out obediently! My cartilage powder tastes good, right?" A rough voice sounded, mixed with a weird laugh. It was Awu's voice.

Awu moved slowly. Because he had a disability in his feet, he didn't walk fast. Of course, he didn't need to walk fast. The "plop, plop" sound was getting closer and closer.

The knife in his hand made a sharp sound as it scraped against the stone wall. "Let me see, where is the little white rabbit? Is it here?"

The white cloth was suddenly peeled back, and Rong Wanyin's heart tightened. Even though she had prepared herself mentally, she was still stunned. She looked out across the wooden shelves, which were filled with human skin drums, human skin paintings... all made of human skin!
"Don't worry, little rabbit, you don't have to run away. Don't worry, I will make you into a beautiful human skin drum. The skin on your back must be very smooth. It will be so beautiful after it is made into a drum!" Awu's fingers gently brushed across a human skin drum, touching the soft feeling. His eyes were gentle, as if he was looking at his lover, but his tone was creepy.

However, as the white cloth was peeled off piece by piece, the stench of corpses in the cellar became more and more unpleasant, as if there were a hundred half-rotten rats. Rong Wanyin was almost fainted by the stench, and she tried hard to restrain her urge to vomit.

These white cloths must have been soaked in special potions, so when these human skin products were covered by the white cloths just now, there was not such a strong stench of corpses. Now the stench of corpses in the cellar mixed with the smell of potions made Rong Wanyin almost unable to breathe.

Finally, there was only one piece of white cloth left in the entire cellar. The sound of footsteps stopped in front of the shelf where Rong Wanyin was hiding. She could even see the outline of a person through the white cloth.

Rong Wanyin held a dagger tightly in her hand, her palms were full of sweat, and her body trembled unconsciously due to exhaustion. She knew that she only had one chance with her current physical strength, and she had to hit the target with one blow. "Hahahaha..." Ah Wu began to tremble with excitement, "Why do you think I led you into this cellar? Because there is a secret medicine of mine here, it will make you weak all over. Just add a few drops to the kerosene lamp, it is almost colorless and odorless. Tell me, am I a genius! Hahaha! How do you feel, little rabbit? This way I can peel off your skin completely. Don't worry, it will be quick. With this medicine, it won't hurt. I believe the tree god will definitely like this drum very much. I will sacrifice you to her."

Ah Wu's eyes were bloodshot as if he was possessed by a demon. He grabbed the white cloth and said, "Hide and seek is fun. I love it the most! Are you hiding well, little white rabbit?"

Although Rong Wanyin couldn't see Awu's face, she could imagine how distorted that face must be.

"Crash!" The white cloth was pulled open with great force, revealing Awu's ugly and distorted face.

It's now!

Rong Wanyin used all her strength and thrust the dagger forward. The sharp blade cut through the cloth, breaking it open and piercing Awu's chest.

Although she couldn't use her internal energy and her hands and feet were weak, her martial arts moves were not slow due to years of practice.

Awu had a disability in his foot and was unable to dodge, so the dagger still scratched his arm.

Rong Wanyin pushed the shelf in front of her towards Awu with all her strength. The shelf collapsed and the human skin drum on it rolled to the ground.

Ah Wu was furious: "Little rabbit, just wait to be killed! Why are you running?"

Rong Wanyin didn't care what Ah Wu said, she just ran towards the exit. Almost there, almost there, she'd be there soon. Her hands and feet were a little out of control. There were only a few steps on the ladder, but climbing them was a struggle.

One more section! Suddenly, Rong Wanyin felt her ankle being tightly grasped. It was Wu! He was incredibly strong, and his dry, claw-like hands gripped Rong Wanyin's ankle tightly. Rong Wanyin felt a sharp pain.

Rong Wanyin wanted to gather her strength, but her internal energy stagnated, her chest ached, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her hands and feet suddenly went limp, and she managed to steady herself. She stomped hard on Awu's hand with her other foot, and Awu felt the pain and let go of his hand.

Rong Wanyin finally crawled out of this devil's cave. She tried her best to cover the stone slab, and pushed a cabinet over to press down the stone slab. Then she collapsed to the ground, completely unable to use any strength.

Ah Wu smashed the stone slab, making it make a loud "bang bang" sound. Rong Wanyin wanted to escape quickly, but she couldn't exert any strength in her body. This medicine was too powerful!

Rong Wanyin was lying on the ground in a very twisted posture, gasping for breath. She was really exhausted.

Suddenly, slow footsteps were heard behind her, and a pair of shoes stopped in front of her. She was very familiar with these shoes. They were the ones she had just seen in the cellar - human skin boots!
