"On your horses! We need to hurry. The scouts have spotted the royal fleet making their way to the burial grounds."
The leader of the group kicked his horse and sped through the road. It was bumpy and rough. Kiel bumped from person to person. It was crowded inside the cage. He looked around saw different people from different ages. Men and women alike. They had the same ragged clothes and unkempt look. Their hands were locked in chains.
It wasn't a long journey, a few moments later and they could see a mountain. Which was taller, bigger, grander than any other. They seems to have arrived at the very core of the mountain ranges. Up ahead, numerous sky-ships rose in to the air. Dozens and dozens of energy cannons stationed at its hulls. It was a grand fleet, the same as the burning legion back in the sect.
"Hurry up! we don't have much time!"
They've reached the tunnel on the side of the mountain. There were many hooded figures each towing their batch of prisoners. Kiel could tell that there were hundreds of them.
They were all screaming. pleading. There were some even cursing and threatening, stating their backgrounds.
"Release me at once! Don't you know that I'm a young master from a powerful sect!? My Fiery Reverie Sect won't let you go! You'll all pay for this!"
'They really had the guts to abduct someone from a first-tier powerhouse, ever more, it was from a central power! Just below the Royal Longs.' Kiel thought.
A big burly man wearing red heavy armor and had long beard, smashed his sheath onto the cage. He shouted "Make them shut up!" He then waved his hands and a few people came running over. They bowed, in unison the respectfully said. "Your order my lord!"
"Take them inside and speed up the process. I don't care what happens to them, just make it quick!"
The cages were brought inside the tunnel. It was spacious. Along the way, Kiel could make out writings in the wall. There were also different kinds symbols, like hieroglyphics from ancient Egypt. Kiel could make out battles from the portrays of monsters and a depiction of a grand army. What took his attention the most was a beast covering a whole section of the wall. It was painted in black and had deep scarlet eyes, it was even breathing black fire.
'Just what is this place? And what kind of monster was that? From the books the past Yang Chen read, there was no any records or even folklore about this mysterious beast' He thought
They reached the end of the tunnel and was shocked by what they saw. This very mountain was actually hollow inside. Numerous massive scaled palaces could be seen all over. From the vibe it was giving, this seems to be a excavation site. There were different people observing and studying each relic and landmarks. In the middle, they could make out a statue of epic proportions. It was a giant black beast. It's outline was vague because of the deep black color, like it was deliberately hiding in the shadows. They could only make out its eyes that were halfway open, radiating fierce red lights.
But one thing was for sure. It was awe-inspiring!
Kiel couldn't marvel the grandness of the site, deep inside he knew that he would be offered soon.
Kiel was horrified as they arrived at the center square, there were piles and piles of dead bodies, dried corpses to precise. The men piling them up and set them ablaze in fire.
He looked at the front of the statue. there were pillars in a circular formation. Numerous red runes flickered on it and on the ground. .
People were lined up, their hands and feet tied together by iron shackles. They had it worse, tears stained their faces and blood and dirt stained their clothes. The black robed men yelling and cursing, hitting them with clubs and whips. Every strike left scars, bruises and even deep gashes.
One woman was screaming for her life before the black robed man punctured her stomach with a spear, and cruelly kicked her. The others felt despair. Another man was repeatedly smacked in head with a club, smashing his head open. Fountain of blood fell from his head. He could barely stand up.
The hooded man got more annoyed and held his neck and the thrown to be offered.
This was a common sight. Kiel shivered and puked his guts out, he was scared. Any moment, he could be violently beaten to death.
He started to shake and deeply regretting coming here to this damnable devil's mountain. In fact he wasn't the only one. The prisoners around all felt the same.
Their shouts and cries became louder and desperate.
Kiel noticed that the eyes of the statues would slowly open as people were offered. Like a ominous beast slowly waking up to havoc disaster
'They were doing all of this for a single statue?' Kiel was losing hope as time went on. It became worse when the cage was opened and people were violently taken out thrown to the ground. some cried and resisted but were beaten to a bloody state, women were also not spared.
They were tied as the rest and were lined, like a herd of sheep. Kiel was suddenly smashed in the head with a club, he clutched his head as he laid on the ground, screaming in pain.
"Move! move! or I'll smash your heads! anyone who is slow will be beaten to death by this lord!"
Kiel whimpered and slowly moved. He gritted his teeth in pain, he felt dizzy and even walking a few step was greatly difficult, adding the poison that has spread past his shoulder and arms. revealing his purple skin and veins in his neck
"Stop!" It was a soft voice of a woman. Kiel didn't heard it as he was too focused.
"I said stop!"
Kiel was jolted awake and looked back. He saw a stunning woman, she had smooth and silky hair and mesmerizing phoenix eyes, they were deep that any man would unknowingly find losing himself. She was walking towards him. She yanked his hair and took a good look at his neck.
The hooded men around bowed towards her and kept silence.

"hmm" She became quiet and Kiel felt his heart beating fast and held his breath. His hands won't stop shaking. She pointed her finger and her long nail pricked his neck, purple and red blood slowly gushed out. She then ripped the clothes in his shoulder and saw the wound.
"Eight colored petaled flower, the known favorite treasure of the tiger kings. Someone actually used it as a poison for a small fry like you? such waste!"
"But lucky for me, slowly as you die. It would use all your qi, blood, and flesh to reproduce. Your death would be of good use for me."
"Excuse my behavior, Elder Yan, But we need to offer him to the beast god. The High Elder had strictly ordered to used every prisoner to speed up the process"
She frowned,
The man took out his sword and sliced Kiel's arm, he then offered the purplish arm and said. "I can only offer this!"
The woman was still cold and took the arm and went on her way.
Kiel almost became unconscious from the pain and the sight of his dismembered arm. He screamed in intense pain, lots of blood came gushing out.
*BOOM* *rumble*
The entire site started shaking.
The leader's face changed, he shouted "damn they're here! men throw them all quick.! Once we finish this the elders will reward us!"
"why me? tell me? why me?" he weakly said. he wanted to scream and vent his resentment so much. The man only kicked his face, teeth and blood came out of his mouth.
"Shut up! How dare you question me" he held Kiel on his clothes and dragged him. Kiel resisted fiercely, he tried kicked and punching
"No! don't! I have... to go home!!!!. Amy!! Ay-!!"
"I said shut up"he repeatedly punched his face.
Explosions and sounds of fighting were getting intense outside and rocks started falling down, even squishing some unlucky ones to death.
At the distance shouts were heard. "They're here! call the elders, we cant hold them off! they're too powerful!"
"dammit! I said fucking hurry up!" chaos ensued. Bloodied prisoners were pushed, kicked and beaten up. Screams and curses never died down.
"No!! I don't want to die.!!"
One man became mad and stole a blade and started swinging wildly, injuring the guard and killing other captives around him.
The others too were influenced and did the same. They fought with their lives on the line. But soon were suppressed. They were weak from the beginning and got their qi's suppressed. They stood no chance
Their outcome were worse, they were all laid in the ground full of blood. Some with broken legs. there were also those who were cut in two halves and even some lost a limb. the worse one was the man who started it. he had his arms and feet all chopped off.
