Chapter 51 You guys are all alright?
"Second Brother, join my Crimson Cicada Society and pledge allegiance to our leader. This is your last chance."
Inside the dungeon, Lu Zhao had already left, leaving only a middle-aged man behind.
Through the cell door, looking at the elderly man with white hair inside, the middle-aged man's face appeared calm, but his slightly clenched hands revealed his inner turmoil.
The old man inside the cell did not get up; he simply lay there halfway up, never even opening his eyes to look at him.
"You heard it yourself, she's not the young master of the valley. Are you still going to be her dog?"
"What's wrong with being a dog? As long as you get enough pay, it doesn't matter who you're with. Is being a dog for Baicaogu any different?"
The middle-aged man's slightly anxious voice came through the cell door.
"Second brother, look at yourself now. You're only in your forties, but you have the body of someone in their seventies or eighties."
"Look at me again. I'm forty years old, but I have the body of someone in their twenties or thirties. Ten years from now, twenty years from now, it will still be the same."
"Can Baicao Valley give it to us? No, it can't. Chichan Society can, and its leader can."
"Does it matter that much whether she is the Valley Master or not? Hundred Herbs Valley is someone else's Hundred Herbs Valley, what does it have to do with us brothers?"
"Serving Baicaogu is the same as serving Chichanhui. What Baicaogu can give, Chichanhui can give too, and what Baicaogu can't give, Chichanhui can still give."
"Second brother, stop being stubborn. Your body can't take it anymore."
The middle-aged man's voice was anxious, and he became more and more agitated as he tried to persuade his brother.
At this moment, he fully understood his second brother's predicament; his life force was almost completely drained away.
It's unknown when the red cicada will burst out of its belly after absorbing all its essence, and by then it will be too late.
The old man inside didn't respond to his offer of recruitment. Instead, he coldly said, "You've arrested so many people, and now you've put together this pill-tasting gathering, deceiving so many martial arts masters. Aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid?" The middle-aged man shook his head, suppressing his anxiety, and his voice began to take on a cold tone.
"Second brother, do you know that although we have been doing things secretly for the past three years, we have always left clues and people have always been suspicious?"
"As long as there is suspicion, someone will investigate. And as long as someone investigates, it will be difficult to keep the secret of Baicao Valley. That's why we have today's Pill Tasting Gathering."
"So, you're planning to abandon Hundred Herbs Valley? That's why you're going to pull off one last big move before anyone suspects you?" Upon hearing this, the old man in the cell opened his eyes and struggled to his feet.
The old man's face was filled with surprise and doubt, and his heart was filled with fear and unease.
"Impossible. Your Cicadas need time to develop; they won't be that fast. If those martial arts masters leave, they will definitely notice anything unusual."
"Second brother, what if she's already fully developed?" The middle-aged man looked up and met the old man's gaze. His eyes flashed with a fierce light, as if they were filled with bloodlust.
"You know that only the flesh and blood of martial artists are the best nourishment, but do you know why we distribute Blissful Honey Pills to those commoners?"
"You use the bodies of ordinary people to raise cicadas?" The old man's eyes widened instantly, and the fear emanating from them seemed to spill out.
"Baicaogu has always taken healing and saving lives as its mission, but what about you? How many people are you going to harm?!"
"Second Brother, those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles. What's wrong with sacrificing a few unrelated people for the greater good?"
He shook his head, feeling a little sorry for his second brother's naiveté.
"Now, there are too many fully developed red cicadas. Once they are ingested and given a command, they can quickly devour everything."
"At that time, power, life, everything, hahaha... Second Brother, aren't you willing to share this opportunity with me?"
"You, you all!" He took two steps back in a panic, his aged body trembling uncontrollably.
The thought of so many martial arts masters, whether invited or arriving voluntarily, being devoured filled him with panic.
Who in the martial arts world doesn't have a few relatives and friends, a few close confidants? Hundred Herbs Valley couldn't withstand the wrath of the entire martial arts world.
Even if most people in Baicao Valley are powerless to do what they want, this anger must have an outlet. Baicao Valley is doomed!
"The Hundred Herbs Valley's century-old legacy, just ruined by you like this? You've harmed so many people, aren't you afraid of becoming the target of everyone in the martial arts world?"
"No, Second Brother, there won't be any survivors. After today, Hundred Herbs Valley will cease to exist."
"Hundred Herbs Valley will be destroyed along with all those martial artists who came here. The murderers and the murdered will perish together. Who will know who the real killer is, and who will suspect the victims?"
She sighed slightly, knowing the depth of her brother's feelings for Baicaogu.
During the famine years, almost all of their family members starved to death, and the two brothers were only able to survive because they were adopted by Baicaogu.
But old feelings are old feelings. In order to repay those feelings, haven't the two brothers worked hard for Baicaogu all these years?
Now, he can't just sacrifice himself to repay old favors; he has to live too.
Those who don't follow the leader's fate will either end up like my second brother, old and frail, barely able to walk, or already turned into cold corpses.
Three years have passed, and they have gone through countless attempts at persuasion like tonight.
If it weren't for my protection, how could my second brother have survived until today? He has done everything he could.
Now Hundred Herbs Valley is going to be destroyed, everything here is going to be destroyed. Since we can't persuade them otherwise, we'll have to utilize it all, completely destroying one of the roads.
Emotions may be important, but they must never become an obstacle to your success!
"Second brother, this is our only chance. If we don't choose now, we'll never have another chance."
After standing outside the prison gate for a long time, knowing that the other party was probably unmoved, the middle-aged man turned and left, all warmth gone from his eyes, leaving only ruthlessness.
"Second brother, this is all the advice I can give you!"
"Give them the Blissful Honey Pills, and increase the dosage!"
As the cell doors were opened, the guards outside forcibly stuffed honey pills into everyone's mouths.
Everyone was once again immersed in inexplicable joy, as if all sorrows had vanished in that moment, and only the beautiful dream remained.
"puff!"
After all the guards left, Shen Che suddenly sat up and used his internal energy to force out the honey pill that had been stuffed into his mouth.
Bai Xiyu, who was not far from him, also sat up, spat out the honey pill from her mouth, and the two smiled at each other, everything understood without words.
Holding the so-called honey pill in his hand, Shen Che crushed it with a little force, revealing the larvae wrapped inside.
Each honey pill contains a larva, meaning that a larva actually enters the body with each dose.
In the end, only one emerged from the belly. This means that they not only absorbed life force from each other's bodies, but also evolved by devouring one another, thus selecting the best one.
That's interesting, really interesting.
"Weren't you arrested? How come you're all alright?"
