Legendary Armament Canon

Chapter 525: Human Captives, Bet On Everything (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhang Chunlin had been in the Demon Realm for twenty years. Sometimes, he would think that with his third-rank Martial Dao cultivation, he should be able to live for two hundred years.

Living for a long time was sometimes a good thing, but sometimes it wasn’t.

As a prisoner of a demonic beast, Zhang Chunlin sometimes envied those whose cultivation levels were lower than his. They could just simply die.

If he wanted to die, he naturally had a chance. But he didn’t want to commit suicide. There was still hope in his heart. If he could escape the claws of the demonic beast one day…

But he knew that this hope was very slim. Even if he could escape from this demonic beast, where could he escape to in the Demon Realm?

“You, come out!”

On this day, Zhang Chunlin was roughly dragged out of the dungeon by a demonic beast.

It was called a dungeon, but it was actually a cellar. It was cold, damp, and cramped.

Zhang Chunlin’s vision turned black from the sudden sunlight. After he adapted to the light, he saw an unfamiliar demonic beast in front of him.

This demonic beast looked exactly like a human. Zhang Chunlin knew that this humanoid demon beast was at least a first-rank martial artist.

He didn’t know why such a first-rank demonic beast would appear in front of him.

“Lord, this is the only human captive I have left.”

Zhang Chunlin heard the fawning voice of the second-rank demonic beast who had imprisoned him.

“I captured this person when I participated in the martial arts competition back then. I originally wanted to interrogate him about some secrets of the human race, but this guy was stubborn. I tortured him for so many years and didn’t gain much. Since you want him, you can take him away.”

Zhang Chunlin looked toward the voice and saw the wolf-like demonic beast that had imprisoned him for 20 years was hunched over and talking to the humanoid demonic beast.

His expression reminded Zhang Chunlin of a word: groveling.

For some reason, he felt a rush of pleasure.?Damn you, demonic beast. You have a day like this too!

It was a pity that those who had been captured with him couldn’t see this scene.

Everyone, I will be joining you soon,?Zhang Chunlin thought.

It looked like he was going to fall into the hands of this humanoid demonic beast. In the hands of a humanoid demonic beast, not to mention that his cultivation was restricted now, even at his peak, he had no chance of escaping.

“Hmph, you won’t lose out. I will allow you to participate in the advancement ceremony of Demon King Hu Li later.”

Zhang Chunlin heard the humanoid demonic beast speak.

“When the time comes, the Demon King will reward you, and you’ll have earned it back!”

“Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord!” The wolf-like demonic beast bowed obsequiously.

Then Zhang Chunlin felt a force lifting him into the sky.

He tried to look back, trying to remember the place where he had been held captive for 20 years in his mind. One day, if he could get free…

Swish!

After an unknown period of time, Zhang Chunlin felt himself fall from the sky and hit the ground with a bang. His bones almost broke.

Groaning and struggling, he looked up and froze.

There were dozens of people around him. Yes, they were humans, not humanoid demonic beasts. They were staring at him, as surprised as he was.

“Everyone…” Zhang Chunlin’s lips moved, trying to find his words.

“Don’t ask. We don’t know what’s going on,” a man said hoarsely.

Everyone was covered in wounds, and the traces of torture remained.

The expressions on all their faces were identical.

Despair. That’s right. Despair!

Zhang Chunlin could even feel an aura of despair permeating the surroundings. Although these people were still alive, they seemed to be dead.

Zhang Chunlin frowned. This atmosphere made him feel very uncomfortable. It was even more uncomfortable than being imprisoned alone in the dark and cramped dungeon.

He wanted to shout for everyone to cheer up, but he also knew that there was no hope of escape in the face of a powerful demonic beast. How could they cheer up?

Ta-ta—

Before Zhang Chunlin could think of what to say, footsteps suddenly sounded. When he looked up, he saw the humanoid demonic beast who had brought him back walking toward them behind another humanoid demonic beast.

A thought appeared in Zhang Chunlin’s mind. The humanoid demonic beast who had brought him over now looked completely like the wolf demonic beast from before. He was bowing and fawning.

He was totally like a lackey of the humanoid demonic beast walking in front of him!

Zhang Chunlin mocked him. He was a captive who was about to die, yet he still had the mood to mock someone for being a lackey.

Zhou Shu followed Yao Jun here and saw a group of humans who looked even more like beggars than beggars. Anger flashed through his heart, but he didn’t show it on his face.

Then he saw a self-deprecating smile on a person’s face. This scene was completely different from the other ashen-faced humans.

Zhou Shu was somewhat curious. A human who could still smile in such a situation had extraordinary mental fortitude.

“You did well, Yao Jun,” Zhou Shu said.

“Thank you for the compliment, Lord.” Yao Jun’s handsome face broke into a smile. “These are all the human captives I could find, a hundred and thirty-seven in all.”

“Good. Step back while I have a chat with them.” Zhou Shu waved his hand.
