Chapter 2003: Refining Human Gu
"Hiding from the rain?"
The old woman was a little dazed, looking at the two people who were extremely beautiful. In the past few decades of life, she had never seen such a beautiful young man and a woman. The two people seemed to be born with a detached and independent demeanor, but it was surprising. An unforgettable sight.
Mu Yunxuan turned around leisurely. He stood tall and straight, looking at the old woman coldly in his dark eyes.
"Old lady, has something happened here?"
Su Zimo's light voice was as clear as a spring in the mountains that was not contaminated by dust.
The old Ou looked around and said, "Come on, come in first."
Su Zimo and Mu Yunxuan looked at each other and followed the old woman into the house.
A strong musty smell came, and Mu Yunxuan frowned in displeasure.
"Sir, girl, this house is shabby. You can take shelter from the rain and then leave."
The old woman sat precariously on a chair to the side.
"Old lady, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, how can your life be so miserable?"
Upon hearing this, a trace of bitterness flashed across the old woman's eyes involuntarily.
He immediately covered his mouth in excitement.
"Those damn wizards captured all the men in the town and used them as their human-refining Gu."
The old woman was grief-stricken, and her sad voice made people feel uncomfortable involuntarily.
"Human refining Gu?" Su Zimo was shocked. She knew how cruel that method was.
"Yes! All the men are gone, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled people who are not wizards. How can we live this life?" The old woman's sad voice was full of pain.
"It is said that there are enemies who want to invade the Three Continents, and they want to capture the men to refine human Gu to deal with the enemies. Now the men with a radius of hundreds of miles are running away, and those who are caught are caught again. Those wizards who killed a thousand swords, there are no Human nature." The old woman burst into tears and kept wiping her tears.
"Where are they refining Gu?" Su Zimo knew that the so-called enemies were her and Yun Xuan.
"In the forbidden area of the town, early this morning, they took away my only son. My youngest son just turned twenty today. He is my only son."
The old woman's voice suddenly rose in pitch.
"Yunxuan, the rain has stopped, let's go over and take a look."
"good!"
After the heavy rain stopped, Su Zimo left some food for the old woman, and went with Mu Yunxuan to the forbidden area the old woman mentioned.
The two of them entered the forbidden area cautiously.
The forbidden area is very wide, and there are many women standing guard outside. After the heavy rain, the weather is slightly cool, but there are countless flies flying in the air. The stench makes them flock to the surrounding stone walls like vultures, and they inhale greedily. This smelly pus and blood.
The women on guard remained motionless, not even raising their eyelids even if there were flies around them.
"Mo'er, let's go in and take a look." As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Yunxuan hugged Su Zimo and quickly rushed into the forbidden area.
Entering the forbidden area, the smell inside becomes even worse.
"Ugh..." Su Zimo couldn't help but vomited.
"Mo'er." Mu Yunxuan patted her shoulder gently.
"Yunxuan, I'm fine." Su Zimo took a deep breath.
She looked inside the forbidden area and saw that all the people there were men.
They were motionless. Some of the men's skin was torn, their faces were like ghosts, and their bodies were like skeletons. They seemed to have only one breath left in their chests, waiting for the moment of relief.
Fear, pain, hunger, and helplessness left these people without the strength to commit suicide.
Here, life is worse than death.
But not all men are waiting to die. Some men are also looking around, waiting for the opportunity to escape.
