137: Strange combination

The screams continued to echo, leaving the man and the Big Yellow Dog full of questions.

Tu Qiang stammered, "Does the Nether Race have such a fetish?"

The Big Yellow Dog was also stumped by the question, and he said blankly, "Ah, this, I don't know!"

He had never heard of this race having such interests besides being violent and bloodthirsty.

Judging from the sound, the person who made the move was very heavy-handed, otherwise, such a miserable scream would not have been emitted.

But what was with that sound? It immediately piqued the curiosity of the man and the Big Yellow Dog.

Lin Yan led the way towards the source of the sound. Although he showed no expression, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

Of course, it was different from what Tu Qiang and the Big Yellow Dog thought. It was that the owner of that voice seemed to have been tainted by a wisp of the aura of their current objective.

There were many guards around, and faintly, one could hear some members of the Nether Race talking to each other.

The content was about why the dozens of clansmen killed by Tu Qiang had not returned yet.

The three figures walked into the depths of the stronghold as if no one was around. Strangely, the Nether Race members who were close by seemed not to notice them.

Tu Qiang scratched his bald head, surprised in his heart, knowing that this must be Lin Yan's doing.

Basic operation, no need to be impressed!

Inside a stone hall surrounded by gloomy winds, a fiery red light emanated from within. The Big Yellow Dog and Tu Qiang couldn't help but peer inside, and they were instantly dumbfounded.

They saw two human men, seemingly in their early thirties, with their clothes barely covering them. Their bodies were covered in lacerations and bloodstains, looking extremely miserable.

One was a relatively fat, somewhat short man, and the other was a slender but very tall man. The two formed a stark contrast.

One was like a sweet potato, the other like a bamboo pole, and their temperaments were also vastly different.

A Nether Race expert stood in front of the fatter man, holding a long whip and severely lashing him.

But strangely, although extremely miserable screams came from his mouth, his face showed an expression of extreme comfort, as if he was greatly enjoying it.

However, upon closer inspection, one could vaguely see his mouth twitching, clearly trying to hold back.

The Tall and Thin Man, however, was expressionless and very aloof, with a look on his face as if you owed him money.

Yet, he didn't utter a sound, with traces of blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, showing considerable backbone.

"Are you scratching your fat daddy's itch? Can't you put some more effort into it?"

The fat man glared and cursed.

He didn't notice that the Tall and Thin Man beside him turned his head and shot him a look, his eyes containing a hint of resentment, as if blaming him for talking too much.

This was because the enraged Nether Race expert whipped the leather whip even harder, and the expert torturing the Tall and Thin Man also increased his force.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

"I didn't expect there to be two humans here, and with such special treatment too? One-on-one service?"

The Big Yellow Dog observed them with great interest, and Tu Qiang beside him did the same.

Seeing the fat man's forced expression, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Lin Yan's gaze swept over the two Nether Race experts who were still circulating their spiritual energy and whipping vigorously. Immediately, both of them collapsed to the ground.

The few of them entered the stone hall without making a sound, quietly watching the fat man's performance.

The fat man, who hadn't felt pain for a long time, let out a soft " Huh" and slowly opened his closed eyes.

He saw the two Nether Race experts lying on the ground, their fates unknown, and several unfamiliar figures appeared before him.

Those were two people plus an ordinary Big Yellow Dog.

He was startled, then asked in confusion, "Humans?"

"Who are you people, and why are you here?"

His words also startled the Tall and Thin Man beside him. After opening his eyes, he also looked at them in surprise, quietly observing the group.

"Fatty, do you have a masochistic tendency?"

After saying that, he deliberately walked forward, picked up the leather whip from the ground, and looked eager to try it out.

"No, no, no, this Senior Gou, Gou Ge, Gou Da Ye, this humble one does not have such a hobby!"

Seeing that the other party seemed to want to try it out, the fat man quickly said with a panicked tone.

"Oh, really?"

"I thought you were enjoying it just now?"

The Big Yellow Dog teased.

"It was due to circumstances, due to circumstances!"

The fat man, realizing that the few of them had no ill intentions, quickly plastered on a fawning smile.

The Tall and Thin Man, on the other hand, maintained a cold expression, his eyes flashing with sharp light. He turned his head away, not looking at the fat man's behavior, perhaps finding him too embarrassing.

The Big Yellow Dog tore off the chains binding the two and released them.

However, the spiritual energy within their bodies seemed to be sealed, and coupled with the prolonged abuse, they were extremely weak.

With a cry of "ouch," they collapsed directly to the ground, panting heavily.

Lin Yan extended his finger and injected two streams of light into their bodies. In just a few breaths, all their injuries were completely cleared and healed.

The spiritual energy seal was also lifted, and they immediately stood up, their expressions astonished as they felt the surging and powerful spiritual energy within their bodies.

They felt that they had recovered to their peak state, feeling incredibly well.

So the two exchanged glances, their eyes filled with a hint of surprise and awe as they stared at Lin Yan.

The Tall and Thin Man uttered in a deep voice, "Thank you, Senior, for saving our lives!"

The fat man then reacted and quickly bowed in thanks.

This was definitely a senior expert. One must know that their strength had also reached the Half-Step Venerable Realm.

To be able to heal their injuries so easily, he must at least be a Venerable Realm expert.

"Hey, I say, how dare you two enter this realm alone?"

The Big Yellow Dog asked casually.

According to what the group of Nether Race members said earlier, this realm seemed to be currently controlled by them. Logically, there shouldn't be any human experts appearing.

Hearing this, the expressions of the fat and thin men changed, becoming somewhat unnatural, and they found it difficult to answer the question.

Upon seeing this, the Big Yellow Dog immediately became interested. He smelled a secret within it.

For the two to risk their lives to enter this area, there must be some kind of fortuitous encounter or treasure!

"Little fatty, no matter what, we are your saviors. Aren't you going to repay us?"

The Big Yellow Dog had a mischievous smile on his face, adopting an attitude of wanting to get to the bottom of things.

"Let me speak!"

The Tall and Thin Man's face showed a solemn expression, and he said in a low voice, "Replying to Senior, we inadvertently heard a piece of news and specifically infiltrated here to investigate."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Unfortunately, an accident occurred, and we were captured, but not by the people of this stronghold."

"Ugh ugh ugh, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, his mouth was covered by a plump hand. After struggling free, he quickly reprimanded.

He saw the fat man looking anxious, seemingly trying to stop the Tall and Thin Man's actions.

Tu Qiang was displeased. He took a step forward and said, "I say, fatty, that's not right. We saved your life, and that's your attitude?"

The fat man glanced at the other party and realized he was just a minor figure at the God-Emperor Realm Late Stage.

Although he didn't speak, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

"Aiyo, what the heck, my temper is flaring up! Dog Master, quickly empower me, I'm going to teach this kid a lesson!"

Tu Qiang couldn't help but say angrily after seeing the contempt in the other party's eyes.
