"what!"

The exploration team watched helplessly as a dwarf was pulled by an elf to a sapling. He clasped his hands together and muttered for a while, and then placed his emerald-green hands on the sapling.

The next moment, the dwarf's shrill wail came over.

I saw green fluorescence continuously flowing out of the dwarf, penetrating into the saplings like running water.

In severe pain, the dwarf began to struggle crazily.

However, no matter how hard the dwarf struggled, his body could not move away from the spot, and the more he struggled, the more painful he was.

"What the hell is this place!" Li Heng's eyes turned black.

He had seen how Shen Nong cultivated the land.

From his perspective, everything happening in front of him was like a sapling swallowing the dwarf's life energy and using it to support his own growth.

After the dwarf reached the limit of pain and rolled his eyes and passed out, the orcs on the other side watched with fear as the saplings carried the dwarf away.

The elf standing on the side carefully threw out the sapling that had obviously grown by one section, including the soil, and then placed it in a backpack on the side. He picked up the basket and walked outside.

Then another elf inserted a finger-sized sapling into the hole, and carefully filled the area around the sapling with soil to hide the roots of the sapling.

After pouring some emerald green liquid, an elf will bring another bound alien and repeat the previous process.

Although there is no blood at all, it is like purgatory on earth.

How cruel!

Even though Li Heng and others were young and strong people who had come through the dark ages, their hands and feet were now cold.

They know very well that the tortured existences in front of them are likely to be their future.

But they didn't dare to show any abnormality at the moment, because from the second they stepped into this place, every key point around them had been locked. They were sure that as long as they moved abnormally, they would be shot out of range in an instant.

Ellie Kasli returned from an unknown place, with a bit of magical aura lingering around her body. This was a communication spell cast by the elders of the tribe, which allowed her to communicate with all intelligent creatures.

"Foreigners, you have committed blasphemy by trespassing into the Goddess Forest. However, since you have not done anything to substantially damage the forest, you only need to complete ten life force sacrifices to leave!" Ellie Kasli The judgment was read out.

Li Heng's face was ashen. After experiencing that kind of torture ten times, would they really be able to leave with their lives?
Ellie Kasley looked at the unwilling exploration team, with no mercy on her face.

Here, the destroyers of nature will use their own life breath to water the young trees. When the trees give birth to the spirit of nature and become elders, they will be transplanted to the periphery of the large forest to expand the forest. scope.

This is already the most merciful punishment for them, otherwise they would not have no better way to deal with it. It is not difficult for the elves to extract the life energy and drain the creatures into humans.

But they keep in mind the teachings of the goddess of nature, and they will never do this directly unless they have to.

Ellie Kasli had no idea of ​​explaining to Li Heng and the others. After reading the trial, she turned and left, handing over these new saboteurs to her compatriots stationed here.

Looking at the mark on his wrist and feeling the threat to his life, Li Heng could only hand over his weapons and equipment, and then the elf used a vine whip to drive him into a dilapidated stone hut.

For people like Li Heng, the elves don't seem to be too demanding, but just let them fend for themselves.

"Captain, there are a lot of people here. Can we gather them together and rush out together?" A team member asked in a low voice.

"At least we have to wait until the time is right!" Li Heng's face was a little gloomy. He didn't expect that their exploration was over before it even started, and the days ahead were not going to be easy anyway.

"I advise you not to do that!"

The voice of old age and decay sounded, and Li Heng saw an old dwarf struggling to get up from the side. He looked like he had been tortured by the draining of his life force.

"Can you understand what we are saying?" Li Heng asked calmly instead of panicking that his conspiracy was discovered.

"I know a little bit of spiritual language and can communicate with any living creature!" the old dwarf said with a wry smile.

"I have been here for 15 years, and all those who resist will not end well!" The old dwarf raised his hand with difficulty.

"You only need to survive ten life draws. You will be able to leave around this time next year. Don't struggle needlessly!"

"See? I survived 98 times. It's not that hard!"

"What have you committed?" Li Heng was a little unbelievable. Can anyone really survive that kind of torture 98 times?

"Deforestation, destruction of nature, organization of uprisings..." The old dwarf smiled as if he was mocking himself.

The most likely reason why it can survive to this day is that the elves deliberately kept him as a model to teach these newcomers a lesson.

How could it endure this kind of torture if it hadn't still had its obsession.

He killed a bunch of people back then, but now he's just paying off his debts.

From the old dwarf's mouth, Li Heng could not hear hope, but despair.

According to the old dwarf's description and his own understanding, there are actually not many elven guards in this land called the Atonement, but almost everyone has the level of inner energy.

Moreover, the tree spirit elders around are basically at this level, and there is no possibility of breaking out.

"There are tens of thousands of people imprisoned here. If I could have rushed out, I would have rushed out long ago!" The old dwarf laughed self-deprecatingly.

"It's useless even if you rush out. The majority of the elven army is on the outskirts of the forest. Sword dancers, druids, tree spirit elders..."

"Have you ever rushed out?" Li Heng heard some hidden information.

"Yes, I rushed out three times!" The old dwarf laughed self-deprecatingly. He rushed out three times and was captured by the elves three times.

The elves didn't even bother to know how he got out. They caught him back every time and then ignored him.

But he knew that those people he encouraged never appeared again. He was a bait, a bait used to gather all those who resisted and then catch them all in one fell swoop.

Li Heng didn't say anything more, but he had a new idea in his heart.

Before that, they still need to know whether what the old dwarf said is true or false.

……

"Captain, are you okay?"

When Li Heng was carried back to the hut, the surrounding team members quickly came over and expressed concern.

In order to protect them, Li Heng was pulled out to extract life energy for the tenth time!

"I'm okay!" Li Heng was extremely weak, but fortunately, his elite talent was the talent of will sublimated from endurance, so he was able to bear the pain to a large extent.

It's just pain, it will pass if you endure it.After trying hard to support his body, Li Heng looked at the old dwarf beside him.

He has endured this kind of torture for a month in order to preserve the strength of other team members to the greatest extent possible.

"If you can help us run out tomorrow, I can guarantee you that the emperor's army will flatten this place!"

The words of Li Hengxin's soldiers moved the old dwarf.

He didn't understand why Li Heng still had such confidence after understanding the strength of the elves, and what kind of god he was talking about as the emperor.

The old dwarf could tell that Li Heng and others came from a powerful country. This could be seen just from their daily habits and their words and deeds.

The difference between the dragon and the goblin is clear at a glance.

"You really plan to rush out. If you are caught by them, you will all be drained of life energy and die!" The old dwarf wriggled his lips a few times, and finally said dejectedly.

"Help us! You don't want to be imprisoned in a place like this for the rest of your life!" Li Heng stared into the old dwarf's eyes very seriously.

"There is no need to run out. As long as you can help us run to the marked place, the emperor will never let you down!"

Li Heng is not so naive. These days, the exploration team has been collecting information from all over the place, conducting various overt and covert investigations, and found that there are still a few existences like the old dwarf. They all have a common characteristic, that is, they can communicate with people of different races. .

For others, there is still hope of being released from prison. For them, even if they are released from prison, it will just mean being exiled to this world forever.

So instead of having to squeeze everything out before fighting again, it is better to just hold on and fight now. As long as they can reach the space gate, everything else will not be a problem.

"You only have one chance!" After the old dwarf was silent for a long time, he raised his head and looked at Li Heng.

Of course he didn't want to sit back and wait for death. If he was really willing to sit back and wait for death, he wouldn't run out several times.

That night, the old dwarf gathered all the foreigners who wanted to resist, and then organized a resistance according to the marked directions given by the expedition team.

Thanks to the difference in the power system, the marks left by the expedition team's will were not discovered. The veterans from the Sound Battalion were able to accurately locate the location where they appeared from the beginning.

They can't get out by relying on their strength alone. Only by integrating everyone's strength can they have a chance of survival.

As a professional in rebellion, the old dwarf is obviously very experienced, and of course he has nothing to do with the fact that the elves have not changed. Therefore, the old dwarf can easily use the loopholes left by the elves to incite a large number of resistance forces.

The old dwarf stared at Li Heng. If Li Heng hadn't survived ten life force extractions, he would never have done such a thing.

You know, even when he was young, he could only survive four or five times, but Li Heng survived ten times. It was this point that made him willing to believe what Li Heng and the others said.

The riot went on as scheduled, and Li Heng and the others successfully broke through the obstacles.

The elves discovered the uprising, but they did not organize it.

"Elder, the sinners in the Land of Atonement are running away again!" The guards reported the news to the elf elders stationed here.

"Hahaha, inform the army. It's almost time to keep those lazy guys busy for a while. I heard that there were humans who could directly pass through the defense line and reach the interior of the forest before? It's time to wake them up!" The Elf Elder! Giving orders casually.

As the old dwarf thought, the Land of Atonement was not only used to cultivate saplings, but was also a target for training the elven army.

In the absence of war, this method can obviously improve the vigilance of the elf soldiers.

"Hufufu...I can't run anymore!"

Li Heng slumped powerlessly under a thick tree. After all, draining his life force was a burden for him.

"I'll stay to fend off the pursuers. You hurry up and catch up!" Li Heng said, while the rest of the exploration team hesitated.

"Captain, we..."

"Let's go! Don't forget our mission, everything is for the empire!" Li Heng roared!

The members of the exploration team bowed deeply to Li Heng and then headed directly in the marked direction.

"Are you going to sacrifice yourself?" The old dwarf sat down next to Li Heng.

"Why don't you leave?" Li Heng glanced at the old dwarf.

"I have no strength. I can't escape anyway. I might as well stay with you and buy them time." The old dwarf said nonchalantly.

"If what you said is true, then I have succeeded!"

"Aren't you afraid that I'm lying to you!?" Li Heng asked with a smile.

"Afraid! But if you are willing to use your life to lie to me, then I will accept it. This is my life!" The old dwarf also smiled. Anyway, he was desperate, and he would bet on even the slightest hope.

"Huh... keep running! You cunning monkeys!" Several elven warriors panted heavily while approaching the two limp men with weapons in hand.

"Come on!" Li Heng struggled to stand up and put his hands in a posture. He could only do this without weapons.

The elf warrior picked up the weapon and chopped it down without any mercy. Those who escaped from the place of atonement were all sinners, and there was no need to hold back.

In other words, the escaped criminals themselves were used as training for them.

Li Heng rolled skillfully to avoid the elf warrior's attack, hoping to take the opportunity to seize the elf warrior's weapon.

However, when he grabbed the elf warrior's arm with both hands, he found that the opponent's power was greater than he imagined. In his weak state, it was impossible for him to do this.

"Boom!" The old dwarf hit him with his body, allowing Li Heng to grab the weapon.

"Asshole! I'm going to make you die miserably! Don't interfere!"

The elf warrior who had his weapon taken away looked at the mocking eyes of his companions and took off the bow and arrow from his back, intending to use his best method to torture Li Heng and the others to death.

"Pfft~" The elf warrior's arrow was very accurate, and blood spurted out from Li Heng's shoulder instantly.

"It seems we can't hold on until the last moment!" Li Heng said to the old dwarf with a wry smile.

"Ah, I hope your companions can avenge us!" The old dwarf collapsed on the ground, failing again.

The elf warrior was not in a hurry, teasing Li Heng like a cat catching a mouse. It was not until Li Heng was shot through his limbs that he fell to the ground. The elf warrior, tired of playing, planned to kill Li Heng completely.

"boom!"

With a loud roar, a majestic figure appeared in the sky.

A ray of starlight fell, and just as it was about to kill the killer elf warrior, it was instantly wiped out. (End of chapter)
