Chapter 750 - The Hot Spring on the Snow Mountain (1/2)

Lin Mengya smiled gently and said with cold sparkle in her deep eyes, “I’m not either. Canying, you’d better take care of yourself. I’ll make you pay for what you have done sooner or later.”

She also knew how to threaten him. Although she was aware that she would have to have a desperate fight with him if she wanted to escape, since she learned he was the culprit who put Qinghu in a miserable situation, it was not difficult to defeat him in an argument.

Canying snorted, but he really couldn’t do anything to Lin Mengya for the time being, so he stopped arguing with her.

Anyway, the most important thing was to take Lin Mengya back alive.

After that, humph, he would torture her with cruel means.

“When will we set out? Let’s make it clear that I’m too sick to waste any time. If I die, you won’t be able to save me,” Lin Mengya said.

At present, she was a significant person. As long as she asked, Canying would have to answer her despite his reluctance.

“We’ll set out immediately. Don’t worry, you won’t die. These copper slaves will carry you uphill. As long as you act obediently, you won’t die,” Canying said with his face darkening, as if intending to eat Lin Mengya at any time.

Lin Mengya inadvertently looked around, thinking he should be talking about those people wearing copper masks.

Glancing at them, she believed they should be unable to feel pain, as she just discovered they could withdraw some cokes out of the hot fire with bare hands.

The strange fragrance in the air was getting stronger.

Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes slightly, wondering how the Candle Dragon Cult trained these people.

No wonder Canying was so sure. The help of these non-human creatures could certainly save them a lot of trouble.

However, she didn’t know how long they could hold on.

“Alright, Canying, I would like to see what you are capable of,” Lin Mengya said.

It was snowing, and the world covered with snow seemed to be lifeless.

Lin Mengya sat in a soft sedan carried by two people. Although there was a stove at her feet, she still felt cold and wrapped herself in her cloak.

The sedan chair was not spacious, but was covered with thick felt cloth outside to protect her against cold.

Her value was beyond her expectation.

Even Long Tianyu and Qinghu might not be able to make better preparations than the Candle Dragon Cult did.

What was more, plenty of their men would probably sacrifice their lives along the way.

The two copper slaves carrying the sedan chair outside were topless.

At this moment, Lin Mengya could more or less figure out what was going on.

Even the copper slaves were divided into different levels.

The copper slaves carrying the sedans should be at the lowest level.

They did not seem to be able to feel pain or afraid of snow.

However, they were made of flesh and blood. No matter how much their muscles had been changed, they would be frozen, damaged and finally die in this severe cold weather.

Therefore, the copper slaves carrying the sedan chairs were just sacrifices.

Lin Mengya clenched her fists tightly.

She had tried to save these copper slaves, but after she suggested that she should go uphill by herself, Canying impatiently instructed his men to tie her up.

Now, although she sat in the soft sedan chair, she couldn’t move.

She had underestimated Canying. Even if he didn’t dare to hurt her, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to tie her up.

Now, she could only sit in the sedan silently and watch the copper slaves outside become ice sculptures on this road one after another.

“I didn’t expect you to be kind enough to care about them. However, you’d better worry about yourself,” Canying said.

He untied Lin Mengya every hour.

But he didn’t do that out of kindness. He just tried to piss off Lin Mengya after realizing that she couldn’t bear to sacrifice the copper slaves.

Lin Mengya turned her head away, disinclined to talk nonsense with him.

They had spent two days on the way since they set out at the foot of the mountain.

Although Canying was well-prepared, the loss of the copper slaves made their team members gradually reduce.

However, the top of the mountain seemed to be far away. Lin Mengya realized that the loss of the copper slaves could be a good thing for her.

Over the past few days, some acts of Canying aroused her doubt.

Under the cover of the felt cloth, she was able to look around without being noticed.

Lin Mengya happened to see a person walking beside Canying’s sedan chair.

Although the person did not sit in a soft sedan like them, he was dressed in a fine fox fur cloak.

He also wore a copper mask, but it was just an ordinary mask like that of Canying.

Over the past few days, Lin Mengya had observed carefully.
