Chapter 242 Three Beast Mountain
Yuan Lingtong was soaked and in a dilemma. She couldn't stay in the water or go ashore. If she stayed in the water, she wouldn't be able to see everything clearly because of the dim light in the water dungeon. Even if she could see, only Li Hanxue would be able to see it. If she went ashore, her graceful figure would be completely exposed, and even the young man would be able to see it clearly.
After weighing the two options, Yuan Lingtong had no choice but to stay in the water. Like a frightened mouse, she stared at Li Hanxue cautiously in a dark corner, with resentment and vigilance in her eyes, fearing that he would do something bad.
However, after a day and a night, Yuan Lingtong kept her eyes open and guarded against Li Hanxue. However, she found that her guard was completely unnecessary, because Li Hanxue never cast her eyes on Yuan Lingtong again after sizing her up. Li Hanxue had always kept his eyes closed, soaking in the water, motionless, and had never even opened his eyes, let alone peeping at Yuan Lingtong, which caused Yuan Lingtong's dissatisfaction.
"Humph, this guy must be a hypocrite." Yuan Lingtong said disdainfully in her heart. Li Hanxue also looked like a teenager, no more than 20 years old, at the age of blood and vigor, and he had no reaction when he saw the beauty falling into the water. Yuan Lingtong didn't believe anything he said.
A cock crowed, and the east gradually turned white. With a creaking sound, a large area of white light was cast into the water prison. The door of the water prison slowly opened, and a very tall middle-aged man lowered his head and got into the water prison.
"Uncle Wu, why are you here?" Yuan Lingtong saw the middle-aged man and said loudly.
"Tongtong, why did you run into the water?" The middle-aged man said in surprise.
"It's a long story, it's all because of this brat." Yuan Lingtong glared at Li Hanxue, "I'll explain it to you later."
"That's fine. I came here to tell you something important. Your father has ordered that all the villagers will gather at the Three Beasts Mountain to deal with this outsider." The middle-aged man pointed at Li Hanxue.
"But..." Yuan Lingtong looked embarrassed.
"But what?" the middle-aged man asked in confusion.
"I was dragged into the water by this bad boy, and I was handcuffed with him. How can I face people like this?" Yuan Lingtong's cheeks flushed.
The middle-aged man said, "It's just a small matter. I'll send someone to get a robe."
"Thank you, Uncle Wu."
Soon, the middle-aged man had a gray robe in his hand, which was wrapped around Yuan Lingtong's delicate body. Together with Li Hanxue, the young man and the middle-aged man, the four of them walked towards the Three Beasts Mountain in Linyuan Village.
The Three Beasts Mountain is two miles north of Linyuan Village. The four people walked slowly. After a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the Three Beasts Mountain.
The Three Beasts Mountain is not high. It is called a mountain, but it is actually a small hill. There is a towering earthen mound that is five feet high. There are lush trees, flourishing grass and flowers, and birds singing. It is a good place to cultivate life and rest.
In the center of the hill, a very open flat land was opened up. In the center of the flat land, iron pillars made of black iron formed a circle. This circle is not complete. Its gap leads to a very deep hole. Outside the hole is a solid porch made of ten black irons. It seems that something important is imprisoned. There is a low roar coming out of it.
At this time, the flat land was full of people. The crowd formed a large arch. Yuan Changdong, Yuan Weiming and Changsun Laoren had the highest qualifications and seniority. They stood in the center of the crowd with a serious look. Yuan Changdong's mistress, Pei Sifeng, was standing by, chatting with the girl beside her with her orchid fingers, laughing non-stop, but she didn't dare to laugh too much, after all, this was a serious occasion.
Shangguan Li's eyes were filled with expectation and anxiety, and he was looking forward to the appearance of the girl in his heart.
Suddenly his eyes lit up: "Miss Lingtong is here!"
Four people were seen walking towards them, the middle-aged man walked in front, and Li Hanxue and Yuan Lingtong walked side by side into the center of the flat land, and the young man followed behind.
Yuan Changdong said: "Outsider, what is your name? Tell it truthfully."
"Li Shiba." Li Hanxue said.
"Li Shiba, what do you want to do in Linyuan Village?"
"I didn't do anything, but you caught me."
"Didn't do anything? I think you didn't do anything because you couldn't do anything. Am I right?" Yuan Weiming said sternly, "If it weren't for the Zhenlong handcuffs that handcuffed you, you would have been like the outsiders before, making trouble here and killing innocent people."
"It seems that you have a deep misunderstanding of me. Maybe the people who came here before me were bloodthirsty and murderous. But it doesn't mean that I am also a bloodthirsty and murderous person. You can't generalize."
Yuan Weiming shouted: "Don't quibble anymore. All crows are black. You are the same as them. Since you are all outsiders, you must not be much better. We in Linyuan Village have unanimously decided to give you two ways to go. It is considered to be the most benevolent to you."
"Which two ways?" Li Hanxue said.
"The first is to commit suicide and apologize to comfort the spirits of the ancestors who once lived here."
"This group of people is simply unreasonable. If you treat every outsider like you treat me, it will be difficult for others not to kill you." Li Hanxue was furious. He did not consider the first option at all. Only a fool would commit suicide.
"What is the second option?"
"The second option is to fight the beasts in the Three Beasts Mountain. If you die, it is because you are not good enough and deserve this fate. If you don't die, you will become a slave of our Linyuan Village for generations until the end of our lives." Yuan Weiming said.
"I choose the second option." Li Hanxue said without hesitation, saving his life first.
Yuan Weiming laughed and said: "Very good, I knew you would choose the second path."
After hearing this, Yuan Lingtong showed a rare look of pity in his eyes: "Li Shiba, do you naively think that you can survive the siege of three ferocious beasts? To tell you the truth, your cultivation is suppressed now. Just like ordinary people, fighting three ferocious beasts will only lead to death. It is better to choose suicide to avoid the pain of flesh and blood. "
"Suicide is so frustrating. It would be better to fight before dying. Besides, won't you still be by my side? If I die, it would be nice to have a beauty like you be buried with me." Li Hanxue joked.
Yuan Lingtong didn't expect that Li Hanxue would dare to tease her at this time, so she smiled instead of getting angry: "Don't worry, I will never die with you. My girl's cultivation has not been suppressed, and those ferocious beasts can't hurt me."
"Okay, stop talking and let the beasts go!" Yuan Weiming shouted, and the two young men immediately ran to the porch made of black iron.
"Roar!" Before the doorway was opened, a pair of blood-red eyes were already flashing in the darkness, with a bloodthirsty and violent look in their eyes, and a dull low roar kept coming out, like the rumble of thunder.
The two young men had been responsible for feeding the ferocious beast. At this time, the ferocious beast was in a very strange state. However, they could not tell exactly how strange it was. The two obeyed the order and just pulled the doorway. A black shadow was as fast as a cheetah. Directly attack Li Hanxue and Yuan Lingtong.
When Shangguan Li saw this, his expression suddenly changed: "No, Miss Lingtong is in danger."
