"Hehe, your ancestors are not as good as mine!"
"Nonsense! My ancestors can...can eat shit. Can your ancestors do that?"
"Hehe, my ancestors could eat two bowls!"
"..."
After a while, they started chirping again.
"Okay, be quiet!"
Seeing that the situation was about to develop into the vegetable market, Vivian hurriedly stopped it, then looked at Li Cheng apologetically and whispered:
"Really, Brother Li Cheng, I'm sorry, you took care of their feelings so much, but they took credit for it. I know, this thing is actually not very useful to you."
In Vivian's eyes, Li Cheng was full of regenerative power, and there was no need for him to use this cost-cutting and efficiency-increasing method.
Those words were said to prevent the half-demons from feeling embarrassed that they had done nothing in the past ten thousand years.
Li Cheng raised his eyebrows. He felt that some of these techniques were still useful.
By picking and choosing from them, he could increase the ways in which he could use his regenerative power.
"Brother Li Cheng, then, let's end the contract matter here. Now it's time to..."
Vivian got off Li Cheng, walked in front of him, knelt on one knee, and said devoutly: "My Lord Li Cheng, please give us orders!"
Li Cheng also showed a sunny and warm smile:
"Well then, the battle of fire slavery and body transformation begins now."
Chapter 176 Don’t Look Back, Lady Divine Fire, I Am Really an Angry Father God
The Abyss is a quiet and dark place of shadows.
This is an underground cave sleeping in the deepest layer of the abyss.
It's called a cave, but the darkness is so deep and thick that you can't see the end.
No one knows how deep this shadowy land is, nor does anyone know what kind of place is connected to the other end of the cave.
The diamond, surrounded by azure blue light, is the only visible light in the cave.
The diamond was not a natural creation, but the ember left after being burned by fire.
Apart from the whistling sound of the wind, the only sound in the cave was the swaying of the grass. Over billions of years, those azure blue weeds growing in the cracks of the rocks had evolved the ability to coexist with the fire.
Apart from the weeds, there were no other indigenous people in the cave.
And today, the cave welcomed a group of new guests.
There were probably about two hundred of them, wearing ragged prison uniforms, following guards in heat-insulated suits, their hands tied with chains, and walking with a staggering gait.
Li Cheng was also among these prisoners.
"I didn't expect that the way to get close to Dianhuo was to disguise as a prisoner." Lilith floated behind Li Cheng, muttering dissatisfiedly: "These half-demons are not good at mixing with each other!"
Li Cheng glanced at her and said in his heart, "Alright, stop complaining. There are only a handful of forces in the entire Abyss that know about the existence of the Dianhuo. The fact that Vivian was able to arrange an infiltration identity for me shows that the 'Sword of the Unknown' has done a good job in the past ten thousand years."
That’s right, even though Dianhuo was imprisoned at the bottom of the Shadow Land, its strength comparable to that of a demigod and its characteristics that frightened all demigods still meant that the demigods did not dare to underestimate it.
At least the most basic servants and guards must be provided.
However, since the death rate of servants serving the Bian Fire is too high, and those who are burned to death by the Bian Fire cannot return to the abyss, these servants are now served by prisoners from various forces.
Of course, these prisoners had no idea how dangerous it was to serve a fireman.
They were only told that they were to serve a distinguished and important person, and if they did a good job, they would be able to escape punishment and regain their freedom.
For the immortal species like the Abyss Demons with infinite lifespans, being imprisoned is more painful than losing their lives.
The temperature in the cave where Dianhuo lived was unimaginable. The hot breath burned the prisoners' skin and eroded the moisture in their bodies, making them frown and constantly wipe the sweat from their foreheads.
Some of those with poor physical fitness fell directly to the ground with their eyes rolled back.
But the guards and the fire-beating guards who led them naturally did not have a good face towards the prisoners. They picked up long whips burning with fire and whipped those who fell to the ground.
Screams echoed in the cave. The pain brought by the fire burning the soul was a pain that no one wanted to endure.
"Damn it, it's so damn hot. Where the hell is this place? I've never heard of such a place in the abyss..."
A prisoner standing next to Li Cheng was completely flushed and kept wiping the sweat from his face, and his lips were pale.
Li Cheng looked at him and didn't say anything.
The scorching air had almost no effect on Li Cheng. After all, he was carrying the [Holy Fire Spirit Ring] refined by his deceased goddaughter Jerry.
This ring is strong enough to withstand the fire, so it is naturally no problem to isolate the remaining fire.
"Dude, aren't you hot?"
The prisoner looked at Li Cheng again with a puzzled expression.
"I was born cold, so I don't feel hot."
Li Cheng just made up something.
"Ding Han? What does that mean?" The prisoner was confused, but still cast an envious look: "Hey, buddy, my name is Luo Tian, from the Plague Goddess Territory, what about you?"
Li Cheng glanced at him and said as if it was normal: "Xius Dahl, leader of the Wrathful Father God."
He is now becoming more and more proficient in using Hughes Dahl's vest.
In order to prevent being exposed, he would ask Vivian to go to the ward every three days to cast a big sleeping spell on Zeus. That was a spell used to help ninth-level strongmen sleep, to ensure that he would not wake up.
I believe that in his dream, Hughes Dahl would have smiled happily knowing that he had done so many things.
"Brother Xius, what did you do wrong?" Luo Tian approached him in a familiar manner.
"What did you do wrong?"
"As for me, the last time the Plague Legion invaded the Destiny Continent." Luo Tian spread his hands: "I read the flag the wrong way and threw the source of the plague into the Abyss Alliance."
"Originally, the Mother Goddess wanted to mutate all the coalition forces of the Destiny Continent, but she didn't expect that in the end it was us demons that mutated into various tumors."
"I still find it strange. Why would you throw the source of the plague into your own army?"
"Well, then I was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment."
"The commander said that if I perform well here, he will reinstate me and let me return to the vanguard. To be honest, Brother Xius, this is my only chance to escape this predicament."
Li Cheng: “…”
Wow, this top-notch traitor is truly a Crouching Dragon among Crouching Dragons and a Phoenix Chick among Phoenix Chicks.
He patted Luo Tian's shoulder solemnly: "You must get out of this predicament and be reinstated. I believe in you."
"Brother Xius, with your encouragement, I feel much better." Luo Tian was deeply moved.
The other prisoner standing next to the two men snorted coldly and sneered: "You still want to be reinstated, kid? When your superior sent you here, did he tell you where this place is?"
Luo Tian's eyes trembled: "Brother Wu Likun, your family is a plague noble, do you know something?"
"Don't call me big brother. I can't bear it." Wu Likun smiled mysteriously: "I don't know where this place is or which big shot lives here, but I know that among every batch of prisoners who come here, less than 10% can return alive."
"You know nothing, yet you still want to be reinstated. That's simply wishful thinking."
"Brother Wu, what you said is not right. Since 10% of people can go back alive, why not me?" Luo Tian frowned.
"Why? Haha." Wu Likun looked Luo Tian up and down: "You don't even know the rules of survival here."
"What are you arguing about!" At this moment, the Dianhuo guard who was walking in the front snorted coldly and walked over with a whip in hand: "You few unlucky people, you are still not honest after coming here, do you want to be whipped?"
As he said that, he waved his hand, asking the guards to come over and take those people down.
"Hey, sir, sir." Wu Likun immediately nodded and pulled his sleeves, taking out a bag of gold coins: "Let's just chat, chat, and you can calm down."
"Oh?" The chief guard took the bag and shook it: "Humph, you are sensible. Hmm, who are you?"
"Wu Likun, sir."
"Oh, I remember you. Your family has been taken care of. Don't worry."
"Well, thank you, sir."
Wu Likun smiled with a look of relief.
After the chief guard walked away, he turned around and looked at Li Cheng and Luo Tian, straightened his back, and snorted coldly: "Do you understand? This is the law of survival here."
"You think that the one percent you get back alive is based on luck and strength, but in fact, it's based on family background, connections, and gold coins."
"Do you understand?"
"This...this...Brother Kun, how much did you give to that guard?" Luo Tian's throat was a little dry.
"Not much. There are gold coins in the bag and a storage ring. Adding up, it should be more than 400,000 gold coins." Wu Likun waved his hand: "Oh, that little money can only be used to fill the gaps between teeth. The real money to buy my life has already been paid by the family."
"It's just the gap between our teeth..."
Luo Tian seemed to have suffered a huge blow. He covered his chest and felt very uncomfortable.
He was just an ordinary demon. It took him hundreds of years to save up that bag of gold coins.
Not to mention, that was just a drop in the bucket compared to the money spent by Wu Likun's family.
At this moment, he felt the disparity in the world.
“Oh, now you get it, it’s impossible for you to get out alive.” Wu Likun enjoyed Luo Tian’s expression very much, and his back became straighter and straighter.
"Brother Kun, huh." Luo Tian sneered, "I never thought that this little guard would dare to embezzle so much money. One person is worth millions, and a group of people is worth tens of millions. That's great, great."
"It's so corrupt, so dirty, it's good to regain freedom, it's good to escape death, it's good, it's good."
The more he spoke, the more confident he became, and his back straightened up.
This frightened Wu Likun: "You, what do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do? What else can I do?" Luo Tian's laughter became increasingly gloomy: "Of course I want to..."
"Ask Brother Kun to borrow some money from you!"
After saying this, Luo Tian's expression changed instantly, and he said miserably:
"Brother Kun, since we are from the same hometown, please lend me some money. I want to survive and get my job back!"
