Chapter 752

After eating and drinking for a while, the things were quickly consumed.

That demon doesn’t have the slightest awareness of being beholden to others for food and drink. He still looked at Yang Kai with a contemptuous gaze, as if looking down on an ant, and his eyes were full of disdain.

“What do you want to ask？” The man snorted. He also saw Yang Kai’s intention to be friendly to him.

Yang Kai chuckled. First, he introduced himself, and then said, “I haven’t asked your friend’s name yet.”

The man frowned. He seemed a little reluctant to report his name, but after thinking for a while, he still said faintly, “Gou Chi！”

Yang Kai sniffed and didn’t respond. However, An Ling’er was stunned for a moment, and suddenly covered her small mouth and let out a cry of surprise.

“What’s wrong？” Yang Kai turned his head and looked at her.

“You are Gou Chi？” An Ling’er looked at the demon race with a surprised expression.

“That’s right！”

“My God, you are actually Gou Chi. How could you be caught here？”

“Is he very famous？” Yang Kai asked An Ling’er in surprise.

Gou Chi snorted and pouted, saying, “You human kid originally looked shrewd, but why do you look so stupid now？”

“Sorry, I really haven’t heard of you.” Yang Kai smiled faintly.

An Ling’er pursed her red lips and said softly, “Although I have heard the name of Gou Chi, he is not very famous. The famous one is his father！ One of the four great demon generals, Gou Qiong！”

“Your father is a demon general？” Yang Kai was also shocked.

He had long heard of the name of the Demon General. In the Ferocious Evil Cave of the Dark Cloud Evil Land, he had even killed the avatar of a Demon General！ After coming to the Tongxuan Continent, he had learned from Shui Ling about the terrifying strength of the Demon General, so he knew very well what kind of characters the Demon Generals were.

“My father is my father, and I am me!” Gou Chi had a proud look as if he was unwilling to borrow the reputation of his father.

With such a powerful father, how could you be caught and brought here? Yang Kai was also astonished.

Gou Chi’s face turned embarrassed. He glared at Yang Kai and let out a heavy sigh: “I capsized in the gutter. There’s no need to mention this matter. When I leave here, I will definitely gather people and flatten this place.

“I wish you success in your wish.” Yang Kai perfunctorily replied. Then he asked again： “How much do you know about this place？”

“Not much.” Gou Chi shook his head. He was no longer as repelled by Yang Kai as before. Probably he also felt that the saying that the enemy of the enemy is a friend made some sense and intended to join forces with Yang Kai to see if they could find a way to survive. “We only know that the people here call themselves the Yang Clan. They seem to have originally been a force of humans, but because of the cultivation technique and the relationship with that Divine Tree, their physiques have now become somewhat different from those of humans, so they have given themselves a new racial name.”

“Divine Tree？” Yang Kai furrowed his brows, faintly remembering that when he had just awakened, a member of the Yang Tribe had mentioned something about a Divine Tree on the way to the main hall, and also said something about turning him into the nourishment of the Divine Tree or something like that.

“Yes, it is the foundation of their Yang Tribe！ Didn’t you see a rather unique big tree when you came？ The reason why the Yang Attribute energy here is so rich is entirely because of that Divine Tree！ If not for this, how could our Demon Yuan be suppressed？”

Demon Race people call the energy in their bodies Demon Yuan, which is the same as how human warriors call it True Yuan.

Hearing him say this, Yang Kai slowly shook his head. He really hadn’t seen any Divine Tree. Probably because he and An Ling’er had entered this Small Mysterious Realm from another entrance.

“That Divine Tree is very strange. It can independently produce Yang Attribute energy. However, it is said that in recent years, the Divine Tree has had some accidents and is a bit unstable. In order to maintain the health and stability of the Divine Tree, the Yang Tribe people here have begun to catch people from the outside. And the only entrance here is in my Demon Frontier. So all those caught in are people of my tribe. You two are rather strange. How could you also be caught in？”

“There is more than one entrance here. We accidentally barged in.” Yang Kai casually explained.

“Oh, that makes sense.” Gou Chi nodded slightly and continued, “You must have felt that unusual energy fluctuation just now. That’s the situation with the divine tree. Every time this happens, they have to catch some people and use the essence of the blood and flesh of our people to turn into the nutrients of the divine tree and appease it.”

“And those few people who were caught out…”

“Dead！” Gou Chi sneered a few times. “And it won’t be long before it’s our turn！ As you can see, there aren’t many of our people left here.”

Yang Kai’s expression changed slightly. There were probably only eleven or twelve people left in the cells on both sides here. The number of people imprisoned in the other cells was not large either. Every time the divine tree had a situation, they had to sacrifice several people. Indeed, it wouldn’t be long before all the people here would be dead.”

The Yang Clan people here always capture the Demon Clan people from the Demon Frontier. After a long time, it will surely attract attention and vigilance. Presumably, the Demon Frontier side will also take precautions and prevent them from succeeding again.”

“The fruit you ate a few days ago was the one produced by their divine tree.” Gou Chi frowned and explained. “Seeing that you ate it so with relish and the aura on your body is also annoying. You should be practicing a Yang Attribute cultivation method, right?

Yang Kai nodded slightly.

“Then you can relax for a few days. Before the people here are all killed, they probably won’t touch you. That divine tree likes people like you as nourishment the most. They will keep you for use at the last moment.” Gou Chi said with a gloating look on his face, sneering constantly, which made An Ling’er’s skin crawl.

“Thank you for telling me.” Yang Kai clasped his fists and said.

Gou Chi laughed lecherously again, looked at An Ling’er meaningfully, and said, “Kid, if I were you, I would enjoy myself to the fullest while I can. With a beauty by your side, I didn’t see you making any moves. Do you have a problem in that regard？ You can’t do this. It will disappoint the beauty.”

As soon as this sentence was said, the remaining demons burst into a burst of laughter.

Yang Kai’s face turned dark, and he immediately felt that this guy was a bit hateful. An Ling’er even tightened her clothes, glared at Gou Chi hatefully, and hid behind Yang Kai.

……

Since that day’s conversation with Gou Chi, Yang Kai had a slight understanding of the current situation and had some mental preparations to some extent.

And after tasting the taste of that fine wine, this guy Gou Chi also became a bit shameless. Whenever the Yang Clan people came to deliver the food, he always took two flasks of fine wine from Yang Kai.

Yang Kai didn’t mind either and shared all the food with him.

After more than ten days of getting along, Gou Chi was no longer as arrogant as before. Although he hadn’t reached the point of becoming brothers with Yang Kai, his attitude had also become much kinder.

However, what made Yang Kai speechless was that this ruffian always encouraged him to ‘take care of’ An Ling’er. Every time at this time, An Ling’er’s face would always turn bright red, looking at Yang Kai with a weak expression.

Being imprisoned here, one is always on tenterhooks. Maybe one day, one’s life will be lost. Naturally, this group of unrestrained Demon Race people want to find some entertainment.

In these more than ten days, Yang Kai felt the unstable fluctuations of the Yang Attribute energy twice. It should be that something happened to that divine tree again.

Without exception, in these two times, some Demon Race people were captured and taken away and never came back.

As the days passed by day by day, the number of Demon Race people imprisoned in the cell was getting fewer and fewer, and everyone’s mood gradually became heavy.

The day of death was probably not far away. Everyone had already realized this problem.

The atmosphere was very solemn. Only Yang Kai and Gou Chi seemed to be nonchalant. One seemed not worried at all, and the other seemed to have disregarded life and death.

In his spare time, Yang Kai had been cultivating and didn’t let go of any opportunity to improve his strength.

He knew that when the day he was captured and taken out came, he would have to go all out. In this small Profound Realm, whether he could fight his way out, this little bit of accumulation and effort was also the key.

Below the Saint Realm, he didn’t take them seriously. If he was angered, he would directly release the Soul Devouring Insects and let the entire small Mysterious Boundary be devastated. Presumably, those high-ranking members of the Yang Clan couldn’t accept such consequences either. Using this as a threat, there might be a chance to sit down and talk with their powerhouses.

So he didn’t seem too panicked.

This was his trump card, and he wasn’t going to expose it until the last moment.

One month passed, two months passed. Basically, someone was caught and taken out every five days. And as time passed, Yang Kai felt that the frequency of the instability of that divine tree seemed to be getting more and more frequent.

The number of people remaining in the dungeon was also very few.

Besides Yang Kai and An Ling’er, there were only Gou Chi and the two remaining people in his cell.

Next time, it would be their turn. This feeling of being on the verge of death made everyone feel terrified in their hearts, and even Gou Chi was a little uneasy.

One day, when drinking with Yang Kai, Gou Chi suddenly said, “Friend, seeing that you are also a man, if it really comes to the moment of death, will you resist？”

“Do you think I have a chance to resist？” Yang Kai laughed hehe.

“They haven’t sealed your true essence. Your chance is greater than mine.”

“If that’s the case, then I definitely won’t just sit and wait for death.”

“Alright, when the time comes, I’ll help you. If you can really escape, please go to my father and tell him the situation here so that he can avenge me！” As he spoke, Gou Chi’s expression turned ferocious. “Let them know that our Demon Race is not to be trifled with.”

Yang Kai looked at him thoughtfully, faintly feeling that this ruffian should still have some tricks up his sleeve and wouldn’t be completely powerless to resist when being taken out.

However, his means should be very limited. Just from his tone of voice, it could be heard that he didn’t think he had a chance of escaping.

With his full assistance, perhaps there really is a chance！ Yang Kai’s heart moved.

Just as they were talking, a chaotic fluctuation came from the air.

Yang Kai, Gou Chi, and An Ling’er’s eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light, and they looked at each other.

“Here they come！” Gou Chi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

The divine tree became restless again. At this moment, in the cell, apart from them, there was only one last member of the Demon Race. This time, they were probably doomed.

Deng deng deng deng…

Urgent footsteps came from outside. Accompanied by a soft creaking sound, several Yang Clan members with cold expressions filed in from the outside.
