Above the gray fog

It was silent all around, with only dense vegetation and diffuse mist.

"Take me to a civilized place." Lin Shan continued to make a wish.

In an instant, Lin Shan turned into a meteor and flew in an unknown direction.

The scene below passed by quickly, all of which was wasteland, shrouded in mist, as if it was a wasteland forgotten by time.

The surrounding scene kept changing. After flying for more than a month, Lin Shan finally found traces of civilization.

Below was a town full of dirt and mess, with a strong stench all around, garbage piled up like mountains, and sewage flowing.

The buildings here were dilapidated and seemed to collapse at any time.

The creatures in the town did not look like demons, but more like people.

Lin Shan saw a ragged old man surrounded by several young people. They laughed and insulted the old man unscrupulously, and even kicked and beat him. The old man curled up on the ground powerlessly, groaning in pain.

Not far away, a ragged little girl was chased by several adults. The girl's face was full of fear and despair. She ran away desperately, but was caught in the end.

The adults showed a hideous smile and dragged her into a shabby hut without mercy. The door was slammed shut, and the girl's cry gradually disappeared.

Not long after, the little girl came out, her clothes were more torn. She licked the blood at the corner of her mouth, and the coldness on her face turned into a pitiful childish state again.

Lin Shan's eyes moved away from the little girl and saw a group of people gathered together. They were fighting for a piece of food that looked like moldy bread, pushing and beating each other.

One of them forced the bread to swallow, but the person who swallowed the bread was soon disemboweled and his intestines flowed all over the floor.

When the group dispersed, only a little blood was left around.

The blood soon sank into the ground and disappeared.

The audience around looked at all this indifferently. This was part of their lives.

Lin Shan stood on the chaotic street, looking at the scene in front of him, with no sadness or joy.

These people are too weak, this is not the place he is looking for.

"Take me to a larger gathering place of civilization." Lin Shan made a wish again.

After the words fell, he turned into a meteor again and flew away.

This journey was even longer. He flew for nearly a year and passed through more than a dozen similar towns during this period. The scene of each town was similar.

Finally, during the long journey, Lin Shan saw the outline of a huge city.

From a distance, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

Lin Shan floated on the edge of the city.

Everything in the city was in order, the buildings were tall and magnificent, and the streets were spacious and clean, but the strong smell of blood in the air made everything seem less harmonious.

Lin Shan walked forward along the wide street as if no one was around. The buildings on the side of the road were tall and magnificent. Each one was built with black and red stones, looking solemn and cold.

There were not many pedestrians on the street, but each one was dressed in gorgeous clothes, as if attending a grand banquet.

Lin Shan saw an elegant woman holding an exquisite goblet filled with bright red liquid.

She took a sip gracefully, with satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

Following the breath of the strong, Lin Shan came to a tall building, which covered a large area, with several tall guards standing at the door.

Their skin was pale, their eyes glowed with a faint red light, and their mouths were coldly smiling.

The moment they saw Lin Shan, the two guards fell to the ground, and Lin Shan walked slowly into the building.

The hall was filled with various exquisite utensils and decorations, and many ancient oil paintings were hung on the walls, most of which were portraits, whether ancestors or heroes.

In the center of the hall, several people in gorgeous robes gathered together and discussed something.

There were several bottles full of blood on the table, and they talked and laughed while drinking, as if they were enjoying a delicious feast.

These people had extremely sharp teeth and flashed red in their eyes.

Lin Shan's eyes moved away from them, followed the stairs deep in the hall, and entered a vast underground area.

This area was divided into small compartments by iron bars, each of which held several ragged, desperate people.

As soon as he entered the underground area, he saw a guard using a hose to draw blood from a thin prisoner in a cage.

The guard saw Lin Shan and wanted to shout, but fainted the next second.

"Save me... Save me." A weak voice came from another cage.

Lin Shan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a bony hand stretched out from the iron bars, tightly grasping his robe.

The flawless white robe was instantly messed up.

Lin Shan frowned slightly and met a pair of hopeful eyes.

It was a girl, covered in wounds and blood, who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Her face was pale, and her eyes revealed endless misery and weakness.

Lin Shan asked uncertainly, "Excuse me, are you the strongest here?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something, let go of her hand and sat on the ground, "I was found out, so boring."

She licked her lips, her eyes glowed slightly red, "Where are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"I have something to ask you." Lin Shan said.

"Are you here to see me? Let's talk tonight, you wait for me for a while, we will go out and talk later." The girl pointed to the cage next to her and motioned Lin Shan to go in.

Lin Shan hesitated, but still walked into the cage.

The girl waved her hand, and Lin Shan's figure disappeared, as if she disappeared into the air, and then she hid the guard who was knocked unconscious by Lin Shan.

Not long after, two more guards came in and walked straight towards the girl.

The girl pretended to be scared, hugged her body with both hands, and her eyes were full of fear.

The guards coldly pressed the girl to the ground, cut a wound on her body with a knife, inserted a hose into it, and the blood flowed into the glass bottle along the hose.

The girl screamed in pain and kept begging for mercy, the sound was harsh and miserable.

Lin Shan saw it, but didn't understand what she was doing.

After the guards drew blood, they left the underground area indifferently.

The girl's screams stopped, and she lay weakly on the ground, her face as pale as paper.

Seeing that she seemed to be enjoying it, Lin Shan didn't bother her, sat cross-legged, and began to accelerate the absorption of abyss energy.
