"Hurry up and eat, after this meal, who knows when the next one will come."
"It’s not easy for me to get this food out."
The man in the black robe let out a hoarse voice.
His dim, lifeless eyes greedily scanned these young boys and girls, especially lingering at their fair necks.
The man in black could feel that these boys and girls were full of vitality.
This man in black was the watcher sent by the Saint, and also the head of the dungeon. After contracting with the Dark Night Blood Bat, he became a humble blood slave.
His arms and neck bore numerous scars, all wounds from the Blood Bat’s feeding.
After the Dark Night Blood Bat drew his blood, it would fight for him until he was completely drained.
The man in black was shrouded in Yin Qi, his Power of Life weakening like a candle flickering in the wind.
Perhaps tomorrow or the day after, he would lose all his life force and die.
His body might then be made into a Flesh Puppet, becoming a mindless exotic beast.
Ye Bai silently approached the man in black.
The basket was full of plump white buns, though from the slightly sour smell, it was clear these buns had been sitting for some time.
"Don’t ask, just take."
"Hurry up. I still have other cells to deliver to."
"You pampered flowers, truly annoying."
"You don’t understand the sufferings of the world."
The man in black impatiently urged, striking a large metal ladle hard against the steel pot of vegetable soup.
The Dark Night Blood Bat also bared its fangs, urging them to hurry.
Its pupils emanated a beastly cruel gaze.
This is a true feral Dark Night Blood Bat. To it, humans are just food.
Yet the Blood Bat knew, these humans could not be touched—they were offerings for the Saint.
If it dared harm the offerings, its end would likely be grim.
Unless someone tried to rush out of the cell and got hurt in the process—wouldn’t that be natural?
But the Blood Bat’s plan fell through, as these people were timid as buns.
Under the black-robed man’s threat, these young boys and girls stood reluctantly and lined up.
Ye Bai took two slightly sour buns and a bowl of murky vegetable soup, heading deeper into the cell.
Besides Li Chen and Zhang Yiyi, he wanted no contact with the prisoners.
Those people must be thinking about escaping despite the odds.
Ye Bai believed the best strategy was to wait—for either the ritual to begin or for the main force of the Pet Beast Union to arrive.
Until then, Ye Bai had no intention of revealing himself.
He didn’t want to lead a rebellion against the Resurrection Association, which would alert the Saint to his presence.
The sacrificial night was in three days; today was the first. Ye Bai could gather two more days of information to refine his plans.
Ye Bai peeled the crust off the bun, breaking it into small pieces and stuffing them into his mouth.
The bun was made from wheat, very fragrant and chewy.
This wheat must be from Dragon River City’s renowned wheat fields.
The wheat yield wasn’t high, affordable only to those of certain social status.
Ye Bai had glanced at the basket—there were hundreds of buns.
This indicated the buns weren’t stolen by the man in black; the only possibility was someone local colluding with the Resurrection Association.
They were supplying resources to the Resurrection Association.
Moreover, this person held significant social status, likely a Resurrection Association insider.
This raid on the Resurrection Association had to eradicate their influence completely, or future troubles would be endless.
By the dim light, Ye Bai examined the vegetable soup.
Though the soup was murky, Ye Bai immediately recognized the leaves as Tender Jade Lettuce.
Only wealthy people used Tender Jade Lettuce in their soups.
It seemed all of Dragon River City was the Resurrection Association’s stronghold. It was uncertain if Zhang Lingxue’s actions would be detected.
If discovered, it would be troublesome—they could face the Saint’s summoned exotic beasts.
Including that person who could shuttle through shadows, clearly no good news.
Ye Bai sighed deeply.
He simply wanted to be a peace-loving research enthusiast, not participate in such dangerous activities.
At this moment, a shadow stood before Ye Bai, blocking his light.
He looked up to see it was Meng Jia from Jiaying First High School.
"Ye Bai, I want to form an alliance with you."
Meng Jia spoke to Ye Bai.
"Alliance?"
Ye Bai raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"
Meng Jia answered seriously: "The literal meaning."
"I hope we can advance and retreat together."
"Teacher Tiantian said you are a smart person, and following smart people is never wrong, so I want to follow you."
"Moreover, among these classmates, only you are the calmest, so I hope you can help me escape from here."
Ye Bai neither agreed nor disagreed, only said lightly: "Keep everything as it is, and in two days, hope will naturally be seen."
Meng Jia nodded: "Thank you for the advice."
The people around didn’t know what riddles Ye Bai and Meng Jia were playing before.
"Meng Jia, didn’t I ask you to invite Ye Bai to join our action?"
Sun Feng, who mastered the Thunder Bull, asked excitedly. If Ye Bai joined, their resistance would be stronger.
"Wait, let’s not be reckless now and don’t be the first to act."
"If you want to play hero, please don’t drag me along."
"And, when did I agree to join your team?"
"Although we were in the same group, after the Phoenix Cup ended, we are no longer in the same team."
"Please don’t impose your orders on me."
"I would be very disgusted."
Having said that, Meng Jia directly found a secluded place, picked up a slightly stale bun, and, imitating Ye Bai, peeled off the outer skin and bit into it little by little.
It must be said, despite being stale on the outside, after peeling away the skin, the inside was still good. Having not eaten for a long time, Meng Jia devoured it ravenously.
The other classmates watched Meng Jia confronting Sun Feng publicly and quietly began to take sides.
Some people stood beside Sun Feng, some stood behind Meng Jia.
They silently picked up their buns and began to munch.
"Hmph, you spineless guys, you can only eat this kind of stuff."
"Even my dogs wouldn’t eat this."
"As long as I can open the Pet Beast Space, I can summon the Thunder Bull and dominate."
Ye Bai watched this farce coldly.
In this imprisoned cell in Jiaying City, a total of twelve people were caught.
Excluding the three of them, next to Meng Jia sat Zhou An’an and the old Wang from next door, and someone Ye Bai didn’t recognize.
The rest stood beside Sun Feng.
"Brother Feng, how can we break out?"
One of them asked Sun Feng.
Sun Feng hadn’t figured out what to do, only that his youthful heroism had taken the upper hand.
If he could lead everyone out this time, he, Sun Feng, would surely become the leader of these people.
By then, Sun Feng could also gather resources and strengthen the Sun Family.
It’s a pity, Meng Jia and Zhou An’an don’t stand by me.
Ye Bai had long allied with Li Chen and Zhang Yiyi.
The weight of the Li Family and the Zhang Family, Sun Feng was aware of it.
"Next, everyone hand over the food in your hand for us to keep."
"Except the buns."
"This kind of thing is not even wanted by dogs."
Despite saying that, apart from Sun Feng, the others in their group held tightly to the stale buns.
And they actually had no food in their hands.
"Damn, there’s not even a bit of food."
Sun Feng said gloomily.
"Damn, what are you making noise for, I’ve been hearing you make noise all along."
From the side walked out a man in a black robe, the same person who delivered their meal earlier.
This person’s body appeared completely rotten, with his eyeballs about to fall out.
From a distance, a rotten stench could be smelled from him.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Wasn’t he a human just now?"
Everyone was discussing animatedly.
"What are you making noise for?"
At this time, they noticed that the man’s neck had two deep holes.
His blood seemed to have been sucked away by the Dark Night Blood Bat.
Then his soul was imprisoned within his own body, unaware that he was already dead.
This was the means of the Resurrection Association.
He had been resurrected, though in another form.
Sun Feng was trembling with fear, without access to the Pet Beast Space, he was terrified.
Such zombies, even a lightning strike from the Thunder Bull could reduce them to ashes.
Unfortunately, with the Pet Beast Space sealed, he was just a king of talk, quick to evade trouble faster than anyone.
"Don’t think, just because you’re sacrifices, I can’t deal with you."
"Remember, I am the warden overseeing the jail."
"I can completely take up the whip and flog you until you’re bloody."
