Chapter 3042 Shen Tianyu 442

In the darkness, Jing Ge smelled the stench of blood.

I know these are Shen Tianyu's fingers.

He was amazed by his warmth; outwardly cold and aloof, seemingly detached from worldly affairs, yet at his core so warm and tender.

He turned his head to the side and said weakly, "I'm fine, you bandage the wound."

Shen Tianyu forcibly put his fingers into his mouth and pried his mouth open with his other hand.

He squeezed his index finger, and bright red blood flowed into Jing Ge's mouth.

Jing Ge had not drunk a drop of water for several days, and his throat was so dry it felt like it was about to burst into flames. The warm, slightly fishy blood moistened his parched throat and slid down his esophagus into his stomach.

Shen Tianyu said, "I have been studying metaphysics with my master since I was a child. My blood is different from that of ordinary people. Consuming some blood will give me more strength."

Jing Ge no longer declined.

If he dies, Shen Tianyu will probably blame himself.

He was trying everything he could to keep him alive.

Shen Tianyu looked around the dungeon-like black hole and realized that there was not only no food, but not even rats. It seemed that the likes of Guwei wanted to starve him and Jing Ge to death.

My phone has fallen somewhere.

After feeding Jing Ge some blood and bandaging his finger, Shen Tianyu started looking for his phone.

It took some time to find it.

The cell phone naturally has no signal.

He turned off the device to conserve battery power.

He got into bed, sat cross-legged in one corner, and began to circulate his internal energy, trying to expel the poison from his body and break the seal of the dungeon as soon as possible.

But as soon as he circulated his internal energy, his blood and qi surged upwards in reverse, and a sweet, metallic taste rushed straight to his throat.

Jing Ge said, “It’s no use. As soon as you got close to the bed I was lying on, you were poisoned. The poison is colorless and odorless; it’s a gas. Although Guwei is from a small border country, his master is Chinese. His ancestors have been searching everywhere for various lost poison recipes. His ancestors were poison envoys of the evil cult ‘Holy Spirit Cult’ that originated at the end of the Ming Dynasty. I was poisoned by them and was ambushed.”

Shen Tianyu remained silent.

He got out of bed, groped his way around the sharp knives on the ground in the dark, and came to the edge of the cave.

He touched the edge of the cave wall, took out his short sword, and tried to carve several holes in it.

This would make it easier for him to carry the thorns up.

Sitting idly by and waiting for death has never been in his nature.

However, the cave walls were not ordinary bricks and stones, but incredibly hard granite. He was poisoned, and his skills were not as good as usual. He could still carve out a single pit, but carving out countless pits would be difficult.

The distance is about 20 or 30 meters, which is about the height of an eight or nine-story building.

Digging a pit was impractical, and there wasn't a long enough rope. Besides, he was unable to use his light-footed skills due to poisoning.

His brows furrowed, and he gripped the short sword tightly.

A strange and eerie sound suddenly came to my ears.

The voice echoed from the cave ceiling, “Don’t bother trying. The poison you’ve been given is the Seven-Step Soul-Summoning Powder, a technique long lost in your country. It’s been improved by our master and is now even more potent. He didn’t give you both the full dose, otherwise you would have died bleeding from all seven orifices. Our master is eager to preserve your lives so he can use you for our purposes.”

This person speaks very broken Mandarin.

Most of them are Gu Wei's disciples.

Shen Tianyu knew that Gu Wei's eagerness to cherish talent was fake, and that keeping him alive so that he could be used by them was also fake.

They didn't kill him immediately because they were wary of the Yuan and Gu families behind him.

He is more useful to them if he lives.

Shen Tianyu raised his eyes, looked up, and said loudly, "If you have the ability, fight fair and square. What kind of ability is it to poison someone from behind?"

The man laughed loudly, "Talking to us about fairness and justice? You've got the wrong person."

Shen Tianyu just wanted to confirm his location.

He shouted, "Summon Guwei to see me."

"My master is very busy, he doesn't have time!"

Shen Tianyu knew that it was probably Master Mao Jun who had led his men out.

Gu Wei was going to lead his men to deal with them.

After a moment's hesitation, Shen Tianyu continued, "My companion is almost dead. Do you have any food or water? We are of greater use to you if we are alive. I am a member of the Gu family. The Gu family in the capital is incredibly wealthy, richer than a country."

Money moves people's hearts.

The person above remained silent.

Seeing that there was a chance, Shen Tianyu said, "You're all working so hard just to get promoted and make a fortune in the future. Let us out, and I'll make you rich right away."

The man remained silent.

After a long silence, the man finally shouted, "Don't take me for a fool! If I let you up here, the first person you'll kill is me!"

Shen Tianyu said, "I'm dealing with Gu Wei and Zong Ding. You and the others were misled and forced into this. Accomplices have always been treated leniently, and since we are of different nationalities, the laws of our two countries are also different. As long as you repent and turn over a new leaf, your crime will be very minor. I will even reward you with generous gifts to ensure you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future. Sheng Po is the young master of the Ten Thousand Poisons Cult, but he repented and turned over a new leaf. You saw how we treated him."

In the darkness, Jing Ge gazed silently at Shen Tianyu.

I thought he was aloof and taciturn, but I didn't expect him to be quite good at negotiation.

The person above was quiet for a moment, then looked back and saw that no one had entered the house.

He lowered his voice and asked, "How much are you planning to give?"

Shen Tianyu opened his mouth and calmly said, "Ten million, US dollars."

These conditions are too tempting.

The man spoke three minutes faster than before, "So much money, how are you going to pay?"

"Transfer directly using online banking."

"How can you transfer so many?"

Shen Tianyu said calmly, "I have already enabled large-amount transfers, so you don't need to worry about that. I've done it many times before."

"Do you keep your word?"

"Of course it counts. I'm poisoned and can't use my powers. Now we're fish on your chopping block, at your mercy. If we go up there and I don't transfer the money to you, you can kill me if you want."

The person above is Gu Wei's apprentice.

There were originally two guards, but one of them had diarrhea and went to the toilet and never came back.

This person didn't want to betray, but Shen Tianyu offered too much.

Ten million US dollars, almost a hundred million.

With this huge sum of money, he could live a life of luxury no matter where he fled. As for following his master to support Zongding, even if they succeeded, the only ones who would benefit would be his master and the others; they wouldn't get much.

The man looked back, but he didn't hear his junior brother return, nor did he hear any sounds of fighting or killing.

He whispered to those below, "If you really want to give it to me, you can't lie to me. Once I get the money, I have to run. Otherwise, if my master finds out that I let you go, I'll be dead for sure."

Shen Tianyu said, "Really? My phone has power. As long as I have a phone, I can transfer money anytime."

Is there internet access?

"I have a global roaming signal."

The man lowered his voice and said viciously, "If you don't transfer the money to me, I'll push you all down right now. Anyway, you've been poisoned by my master, so your skills are limited. The kid who's impersonating our master has thirteen ghost needles stuck in his body; he can't withstand any more torture."

Shen Tianyu said in a deep voice, "I have always kept my word. I have billions in my account, and ten million US dollars is just a small drop in the bucket. Life is the most important thing. Money is just an external thing. If I lose my life, those billions will be of no use to me."

After a moment of silence, a loud scraping sound of metal and brick came from above.
