Chapter 116: Slaughterhouse of Slaves
"What's going on?!" Yan Gaoyang was suddenly alarmed, sensing a foreboding danger.
An Tianwei quickly drew her twin blades, crouching down and vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
Leading the way, Su Qinggu squinted his eyes and, finding nothing unusual, sneered, "Hmph! Playing tricks..."
Before he could finish saying the word "tricks," a sharp sound of a crossbow bolt pierced the air. A massive crossbow bolt pierced through his thigh, pinning him to the ground.
"Not good!! We've walked into an ambush!!" An Tianwei exclaimed, attempting to turn and flee.
Yan Gaoyang, equally alert, turned to escape as well.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!..." Crossbow bolts seemed to rain down without restraint.
A continuous series of crossbow mechanisms firing echoed.
Rows of bolts shot out from the void, accurately and mercilessly striking An Tianwei and Yan Gaoyang. The limbs of both were instantly pinned to the ground. Yan Gaoyang had four or five bolts lodged in his abdomen and chest.
"Where are these crossbow bolts coming from?! What the hell! Where are these crossbow bolts coming from?!!" Su Qinggu, pinned to the ground, shouted while looking around, but he couldn't see any crossbow mechanisms or anyone!
There was absolutely nothing around, yet a continuous barrage of crossbow bolts was unleashed!
"This damned place!!!" he cursed.
"Friends, how about my welcoming gift?" The voice of the man came through the intercom again.
In an instant, the scene before the three of them changed!
Before their eyes, a city suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
And above the city were rows of massive crossbow mechanisms!
In addition, there was a towering artillery turret with cannons inside, directly aimed at the position of the three of them.
A man walked slowly from the city gate.
Suddenly, several mutated beings with various forms appeared around them.
There were cat people, fox people, horned people, centaur-like beings, werewolves, and even vampires!
Including the mysterious man, there were a total of seven mutated beings!
"Damn it! Yan Gaoyang, didn't you say he's alone? Where did all these mutated beings come from? And there's even a city! Damn it! You've led me to my death!" Su Qinggu shouted in terror at the barely breathing Yan Gaoyang, trembling hands reaching for the bottles of liquid-like red virus crystals hidden in his chest.
Yan Gaoyang looked at Alex with a gaze full of unwillingness, weakly asking, "Who... who are you..."
Alex disdainfully glanced at the two, walked over to An Tianwei, and casually touched her leather armor. He smirked, "This armor is not bad. Wearing this, it must feel great."
"Sniff..." Pipi walked over to the three and sniffed, reporting to Alex, "Master, I smelled these three before. All three of them are mutated beings."
"Tie them all up and take them to the dungeon!" Alex couldn't resist making good use of the information and puppets that walked right into his hands.
Alex looked at the weapons dropped by Su Qinggu and An Tianwei on the ground, satisfied with the display. He gestured, "This stuff is good!"
Alex remembered that the centaur woman had always had a strong talent for archery. Handing the bow and arrow to the centaur woman should be quite fitting.
"Yuanyuan, haven't you always liked archery but lacked a good bow and arrows? This one is perfect for you." Alex took the quiver from Su Qinggu's back and handed it to the centaur girl Yuanyuan, saying, "It's a pity there are only twenty-something arrows; be thrifty in using them in the future."
"These dual blades are also good; they'll suit Koko well. Although Koko's military dagger is good, it's just made of ordinary steel and is prone to wear." Alex rudely snatched An Tianwei's dual blades and handed them to the delighted Koko.
As for the snake-girl Miaomiao and the cat-eared girl Lansiruo, they didn't need weapons; they themselves were the best weapons.
As for the fox-girl Qianqian, it seemed she currently had no combat talent. Alex didn't plan to let her go into battle; it was a good choice to keep her by his side as a support for daily life.
The three of Su Qinggu were quickly taken into the dungeon.
Alex opened the building list, glanced at it, found "Slaughterhouse of Slaves," and said to the system, "Upgrade the prison into a Slave Slaughterhouse!"
With a balance of two thousand Apocalypse Coins, and now with new prisoners, Alex intended to test the power of the "Slave Slaughterhouse."

As the electronic synthesized sound fell, the space in the dungeon suddenly began to collapse.
As if there was a sudden earthquake, everything spun, and the world seemed to tilt.
The prison area rapidly expanded, and then, gloomy and horrifying cells formed one after another.
The entire dungeon instantly became as terrifying as an eighteen-layer hell, filled with the wailing and moaning of resentful souls everywhere.
The air was thick with the scent of blood and gloom.
In the middle of the cells, a slaughterhouse adorned with bloody hooks suddenly appeared... read-only-on-NovelFire
Alex pulled out the crossbow bolts one by one from Yan Gaoyang's body, bringing out large pieces of flesh and blood.
Yan Gaoyang, who was already on the brink of death, emitted a series of piercing and miserable screams.
The physical pain, combined with the continuous mental torment, made Yan Gaoyang wish for death.
After removing the crossbow bolts, Alex lifted Yan Gaoyang and directly hung him on one of the hooks in the slaughterhouse.
Using the same method, he also hung Su Qinggu up.
"Ah!!!!" From the moment they were hung up, the two of them let out heart-wrenching screams. They desperately scratched their bodies, as if countless demonic ants were gnawing at them. Despite tearing their bodies apart, they refused to stop.
An Tianwei watched in horror as Alex subjected Yan Gaoyang and Su Qinggu to extremely cruel torture. Her entire body trembled violently.
Even with excellent training and strong mental resilience, facing such brutality, she was on the verge of collapse.
Walking over to An Tianwei, Alex smiled as he removed the crossbow bolts from her. He then asked with a smile, "Tell me, what is the Red Skull organization? What are you planning?"
