With these thoughts in mind, Shen Changqing decided to follow the other party to the lair of the supernatural creatures without alerting them and take a look. As for any danger that might be inside, I don’t worry in the slightest. No matter how strong the supernatural creatures are, could they be stronger than the Demon Evil Clan? Unless a Great Demon-level existence intervenes, none would be a match for . If the supernatural creatures truly possessed such strength, they would not have been operating in the shadows to this day; they would have erged into the world as openly as the Demon Evil Clan. All those who hide in the background, no matter their aim, share one thing in common: insufficient strength. Those with enough power would never remain hidden.
Calming himself, Shen Changqing followed behind the leopard as leisurely as any ordinary person, heading deeper into the mountains. The leopard also seed afraid that he would be unable to keep up, so it didn’t move very fast.
About an hour later, the view opened up considerably in front of them. A temple that seed to have existed for many years appeared there.
In front of the temple, there were cages, each imprisoning mbers of the Human Clan. So of the humans were as thin as kindling, so had lifeless eyes, while others looked panicked, continuously hitting the cages and shouting loudly.
"Quick, let out!"
"Don’t kill , don’t kill —"
Besides that, there were many human skeletons discarded on the ground, with various beasts sitting atop them. So lay there, looking at the humans in the cages, cruelty occasionally flashing in their green eyes. The scene was terrifying, like sothing out of Senluo Hell.
A chill ran through Shen Changqing’s heart. At just a cursory glance, there were more than a hundred skeletons on the ground. Clearly, many mbers of the Human Clan have lost their lives here. There are also several hundred humans imprisoned in the cages.
Seeing the leopard’s return, so supernatural creatures imdiately approached, speaking in human language.
"Leopard King, why were you out for so long and only brought back one human? Your efficiency is too low."
The creature that spoke was a fox walking upright. On this being, I feel as though I’m seeing the sa kind of fox from Fengqiu Mountain. But upon closer comparison, the aura emanating from this fox is not as strong as that of the one from Fengqiu Mountain. Without a doubt, this is also a supernatural creature.
Shen Changqing’s face was expressionless, as if he were completely fooled, but secretly he was already sizing up everything around him. Those beasts are not real beasts; they are all supernatural creatures who have attained Spirit Intellect. At a glance, there are dozens of them.
Seeing this, his chest rose and fell slightly as he forcefully suppressed the excitent in his heart. Dozens of supernatural creatures! This is truly a massive harvest!
However, Shen Changqing didn’t act imdiately. I need to understand more about the situation and make my move at the right ti to capture them all at once.
Hearing this, the Leopard King looked dissatisfied. "Fox King, how many humans have you brought back? Fewer and fewer humans are entering Sahan now; bringing back one is already good enough."
"HEH-HEH." The Fox King laughed derisively, pointing behind it at a cage that held dozens of humans. "Look, this is my harvest."
"Where did you get so many humans?!" A humanized shock appeared on the Leopard King’s face. Dozens of humans! That’s a significant number. On an average trip into the mountains, catching one or two would be fortunate, let alone capturing several dozen at once!
Suddenly, it seed as if the Leopard King thought of sothing. "Did you leave the mountain on your own to capture humans from the outside world?"
"Why not?"
"The Ancestor commanded us not to leave the mountain at will! There are many strong individuals in Great Qin’s Demon Suppression Division. If we’re discovered, we’ll all be killed!"
The Leopard King’s expression darkened.
Hearing this, the Fox King seed unconcerned, sneering, "What’s the Demon-Subduing Division worth? Over the years, how many humans have we captured? It’s unlikely they know anything about our tracks. Now Great Qin is struggling to sustain itself, so even if they discover sothing about us, what does it matter? Humans used to hunt our kind, but now it’s our turn to capture them. That’s the cycle of natural justice. Even if people from the Demon-Subduing Division ca here, I wouldn’t be afraid."
After hearing the Fox King’s words, the other supernatural creatures loudly voiced their agreent.
Seeing the consensus, the Leopard King said no more. In its mind, what the Fox King said wasn’t wrong.
Shaking its head, the Leopard King led Shen Changqing to an empty cage and locked him inside. All the other cages were already filled, so a new one had to be used.
Once he was imprisoned, the Illusion Technique was lifted.
An appropriately terrified expression appeared on Shen Changqing’s face. He looked at the leopard creature as if it were so horrifying being and staggered backward.
Once the leopard had left, he found a spot to sit down. His face still showed fear, but it had faded sowhat, as if he were forcing himself to calm down.
The supernatural creatures paid little attention to this. After all, what trouble could a caged human possibly cause?
"Let out!"
"Don’t kill ! I beg you, great kings, don’t kill !"
The pleas for rcy from the people filled his ears.
Shen Changqing silently surveyed the surrounding environnt. Although there are many supernatural creatures, almost none belong to the sa species. From this, I’ve co to understand sothing: for any species, the ergence of a supernatural creature is an extrely difficult affair.
