Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 862 - 863: Interrogation

"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!"

"Wh-what the hell is this place ahhhhhhh!!!"

Kain, who had just woken up, couldn’t help but let out a hysterical scream. His subordinate Sandre, who also let out a terrified cry, was the same.

Of course, although there were human remains all around them, as seasoned adventurers, these two had seen hundreds and thousands of corpses, so naturally they wouldn’t be scared out of their wits by a mere mass grave.

The main reason they were so frightened was because of the strange plants that were constantly spreading from all directions in the deep pit. The nearby human remains were basically covered with these strange plants. Coupled with the ferocious postures of these skeletons, it wasn’t difficult for Kain to guess... these humans had died from having their blood and flesh sucked dry by these strange plants.

And as if to verify Kain’s guess, his few colleagues who hadn’t woken up were wrapped up by the strange plants covered in barbs right in front of him, and their blood and flesh were sucked dry at a visible speed, directly turning into ferocious skeletons.

After witnessing this scene, Kain and his subordinate Sandre immediately sat up, back to back, vigilantly watching the strange plants that were gradually crawling towards them from all around.

""Wh-what the hell are these things?""

The terrified words came out of the mouths of the two in unison.

The plants growing in the deep pit and devouring the bodies of adventurers were a special plant in the Dead Sea realm - Bone Vines. Originally, this plant didn’t have very strong aggression and would only devour some small insects on the island. But after Yumo came to this island, soaked in the Shadow Power, this plant gradually became brutal, terrifying, and bloodthirsty.

By a strange coincidence, Yue discovered this special plant.

Then, Yue had a flash of inspiration and placed these plants in the deep pit to help her deal with those foolish invaders. Since Yue disdained to personally eliminate the weak human adventurers, the enemies who landed on the island were all thrown into the deep pit by her to be dealt with by the Bone Vines.

Under normal circumstances, the Bone Vines could at most devour some humans with insufficient strength, only at the 3rd or 4th level. But in the Dead Sea realm, humans couldn’t use magic or energy at all, so naturally they couldn’t resist the Bone Vines. The only fate awaiting them was to be devoured completely.

This time, Kain and the other seemed to be facing the same problem.

After discovering that all their weapons had been taken away by Yue, the two of them, back to back, could only look at the strange plants constantly approaching them in despair. Since the giant pit was a hundred meters deep, and they couldn’t use energy or magic, they couldn’t even escape.

"C-C-Captain?!! Wh-what do we do?!!"

The trembling Sandre couldn’t help but send out a final cry for help to Kain.

However, Kain, who was in a difficult position himself, could only give a hopeless and helpless answer:

"Sorry, this is the end for us... Huh?!! What’s that?!!"

But, just as Kain closed his eyes, ready to avoid the pain and crush his own head to end his life with his own hands, a whip suddenly rushed in from above the deep pit, directly tying Kain and his only remaining team member together, and fiercely pulled them out of the deep pit! Leaving behind a group of unsatisfied Bone Vines that didn’t get to eat their fill.

?!!

"Huh?! What’s going on?"

With an indescribable confusion, Kain and his colleague were thrown heavily onto the ground.

And before they could recover, a beautiful and melodious voice, like the sound of nature, slowly drifted into their ears, directly making the two adventurers tremble all over.

-- "Huh? There are actually still humans coming to a place like this? What a surprise."

?!!

Who?

After coughing violently a few times, Kain, who was lying on the ground, pressed his chest and slowly raised his head, looking in the direction of the voice.

Then, Kain and Sandre directly froze in place, their mouths agape, as if they could swallow a watermelon in one gulp.

The reason they showed such a startled expression was because a peerless beauty they had never seen before entered their eyes.

It was a girl who was like a goddess descending to the mortal world.

The girl had crystal clear black hair like silk, and the ends of her black hair were crimson red like blood.

Phoenix-like eyebrows and bright eyes, every glance was soul-stirring. Exquisite nose, skin like white snow, red lips like a proud and enchanting red plum blossom in the snow! Her eyes, as brilliant and strange as red rubies, seemed to possess the magic to hook one’s soul. The moment Kain met those eyes, he felt like his soul was taken away by her.

Her beautiful face was one aspect, and her figure was equally captivating.

A slender and graceful figure, soft jade arms like lotus roots, beautiful and round long jade legs, slender and smooth calves, coupled with delicate, smooth, tender and jade-like ice-cold skin, she was truly a graceful beauty. Decorated in a black long dress, the girl was like an angel who had fallen into the mortal world, making people’s imaginations run wild.

Watching the girl walk towards him barefoot, step by step, Kain’s heart almost stopped beating.

No, no, that’s not right!!

"N-No, y-you, who are you?!!"

As if suddenly remembering something, Kain’s lost consciousness instantly returned to his body! The dazed look in his eyes disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented vigilant gaze.

As the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy.

He had just encountered the terrifying monster with a beautiful appearance like Yue.

Kain couldn’t help but suspect whether the existence in front of him was also another kind of terrifying monster.

And after noticing the star-eyed girl behind the black-haired girl, who was emitting a terrifying murderous aura like a servant, Kain was even more certain of his thoughts.

She’s definitely a terrifying monster!!

However, even if he knew this fact, what use was it?

Tied up by the whip, he couldn’t do anything and could only be at the mercy of others.

Dead either way, might as well die with some backbone!!

Thinking of this, Kain showed a fearless gaze and glared fiercely at the black-haired girl:

"Who the hell are you?! What do you want with me?! If you want to kill me, then kill me! Don’t waste time!"

"Kill you?"

Hearing this, the black-haired girl frowned and asked curiously:

"Why would I want to kill you?"

"W-Why?"

"Yeah, I... just want to ask you some things, that’s all."

"Ask things?"

Kain frowned.

Of course, he wouldn’t believe that the other party just wanted to ask questions and not kill him. But at this moment, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope for survival. Since the other party wanted to ask him, perhaps they needed something from him? If he could grasp this opportunity, he should be able to survive!

Thinking of this, Kain took a deep breath and met the black-haired girl’s eyes, pretending to be calm:

"I can answer your questions, but I have a condition."

"What Condition?"

"That is, you need to guarantee our... Huh?!!"

However, before he could finish speaking, a long whip suddenly slashed through the air and fiercely struck Kain’s buttocks! In an instant, an unbearable pain like tens of thousands of ants biting his heart suddenly assaulted Kain’s brain, directly making him let out a scream like the wailing of ghosts and gods:

"Ahhhhhhh! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

And hearing this shrill howl, the star-eyed girl beside him showed a displeased and slightly crazed smile:

"Hehehe, you assh@le! you actually dare to negotiate conditions with my master?!! Whatever my master asks you, you just answer!! Don’t fucking talk nonsense! If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll let you experience what it means to beg for life but can’t die!!"

Yue was very unhappy.

On one hand, it was because of Kain’s presumptuous behavior. On the other hand, it was because of her master’s simplicity.

From the looks of it, it seemed that her master really wanted to consider this low-level creature’s proposal?

Did master forget that we could directly tear apart this man’s soul and peek into his memories! That way, it doesn’t matter whether he talks or not.

Thinking of how silly her master was, Yue became furious.

After all, in the end, if her master was a bit smarter, she wouldn’t need to stay in this desolate place every day. She could whip people to her heart’s content!

Of course, although she was a bit angry at Yumo, Yue didn’t dare to really get mad at Yumo.

Therefore, her displeasure towards Yumo could only be vented on Kain’s body.

Thus, under the indifferent gaze of Yumo beside her, Yue, like a sadistic queen, kept swinging the long whip, directly whipping Kain into a spinning top~
