The chief chamberlain stood under a tree, silent and playing with a jade pendant.

Wang Mingfu and his party did not dare to whisper to each other, lowered their heads, and waited quietly. The dozen or so injured people did not dare to make any sound. Even though the pain was excruciating, they still endured it.

The captain of the chamberlain has sent soldiers into the meat forest to check the status of the game. If it feels that the loss is serious, everyone will be punished.

Ten minutes later, the soldiers came back and reported to the captain of the chamberlain. After listening to it, a smile finally appeared on its dead face.

"That's right, you're paying attention!"

The chief chamberlain rewarded him: "Let's go to the official residence and give you a bowl of dog food!"

Everyone immediately cried with joy.

"Is this a passing test?"

Zhao Tong covered his mouth with his left hand and cried.

"Finally got over it!"

Zeng Chuan excitedly pumped his fist several times.

Wang Mingfu was not so happy. He walked up to Lin Baici and asked in a low voice: "Lin Shen, what are we going to face next?"

"have no idea!"

Lin Baici told the truth, but he estimated that the corpse should be in this royal garden.

Everyone followed the chief chamberlain to the previous courtyard, where there were official residences for people to rest. However, as soon as everyone entered and before they had eaten, a chamberlain wearing a blue robe hurried over.

"Xiao Li?"

Lu Yingxi was shocked because this chamberlain was a young man with earrings who had been taken to cleanse himself before.

Xiao Li looked embarrassed and subconsciously touched his belly. He did not speak to everyone, but rushed to the chief chamberlain: "Wang Youling, today is a big banquet, and we will have fun with the people. The common people who presented the king with fine wines will also

Go to the Star Reaching Palace for a banquet!”

"According to the order!"

The chief chamberlain finished speaking respectfully and looked at Lin Baici and others: "Did you hear that? When we arrive at the Star Reaching Palace later, be sure to pay attention to etiquette and not offend the king."

Everyone followed the chief chamberlain and walked on the bluestone path into the depths of the garden. They walked for about eight or nine minutes and finally stopped in front of a palace complex.

Gululu!

Lin Baici's hunger, which had always been weak, suddenly worsened, causing him to start drooling. He was so hungry that he wanted to eat the monsters in front of him alive.

[Ah howl, the most delicious meal is right in front, go quickly! Go quickly! 】

Lin Baici knew that the corpse was on the table.

Lu Yingxi wanted to ask Xiao Li how he and Tang Zhiqian were doing and what was going on inside, but Xiao Li didn't want to talk to her.

Everyone followed the chief chamberlain and stepped into the palace gate, then walked up a flight of seven hundred and twenty steps and appeared on a platform.

On the north side is an attic. A middle-aged man with a beard and a dark golden royal robe is kneeling on it. In front of it is a huge low table filled with food, wine, fruits and vegetables.

pastry.

No one saw the musicians, but the melodious sound of bells, chimes, silk and bamboo echoed on the platform.

Full of ancient charm.

The king held a beautiful woman in his arms and kept talking and joking to persuade her to drink.

Lin Baici had good eyesight. When he looked at the 'beauty', he was startled because although it was wearing gorgeous palace clothes, its exposed face was dehydrated, like dried beef jerky, and wisps of it could be seen.

muscle fibers.

"My beauty, come and drink from this cup!"

Wang laughed teasingly, drank the wine in the golden bottle in one gulp, then held it in his mouth and fed it mouth to mouth to the mummy in his arms.

"..."

Lin Baici felt that he had seen many scenes from the underworld in the two sacred ruins, but the scene in front of him still made his hair stand on end and gave him goosebumps.

digusting.

On both sides of the platform were low tables one meter wide, with food also placed on them, but there were no guests sitting behind them.

"Is...is there a ghost?"

Du Xin was afraid.

Because there were obviously no guests, but there was the hustle and bustle of people drinking and drinking at a banquet. From time to time, someone spoke in classical Chinese and toasted to the king.

In the middle of the platform, there was a group of female singers in beautiful palace costumes dancing, but without exception, they were all mummies.

"ah!"

Zhao Tong suddenly screamed and quickly covered his mouth.

She saw a singer's withered and dehydrated eyeballs falling to the ground. Before she could pick them up, she was kicked and crushed by the singer next to her.

"..."

Everyone shuddered.

[The bright moon is in the sky, the king’s night banquet, but unfortunately there is too little food and not enough good wine, I am disappointed! Disappointed!]

[But fortunately, there is a ‘beauty’ to eat! 】

[Kill the king quickly and get that beauty back! 】

"You mean this one?"

Lin Baici raised his head and looked at the mummified beauty in Wang's arms. Are you serious about eating it?

wrong!

Even if it is serious, this is a bit unacceptable, right?

[A king who is moody and cruel has been suffering from a headache for many years. He has called you here just to solve this stubborn problem!]

Nagami review.

Lin Baici raised his eyebrows, it was indeed something bad.

[Hey, there is a buffet table next to it, but it is a pity that there is only one delicacy on it, and it is more troublesome to eat it, sorry! 】

On the right side of this platform, there is a loft with 360 steps. On the steps, there are paintings of various beasts, with teeth and claws showing, lifelike, and a wild atmosphere rushes towards your face.

On the top of the attic, there is a circle of bronze shelves, about twenty or so, with a brazier placed on them. The charcoal burning inside makes a "beep" sound from time to time.

Seen from a distance, these braziers look like stars.

"Why don't you kneel down quickly and salute my king?"

The chief chamberlain urged.

Plop! Plop!

Several girls, who had long been frightened by the pollution of this series of rules, knelt down without any hesitation.

"No!"

The king's voice came from the north attic: "Take a seat!"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Gu Rongjie and the others instinctively looked at Lin Baici, waiting for an instruction.

There was definitely no choice but to sit down at the table and attend this dinner. But before he could speak, Wang's voice rang out again.

"What are these people doing? Why are they so dirty and slovenly?"

The king was dissatisfied and felt that the banquet had been soiled.

There was a commotion in the crowd.

"Who? Who is it talking about?"

Du Xin was afraid because her linen robe was torn in many places, and she had been soaked in wine and spent time in the woods, so she was dirty and in a very embarrassed state.

"Is he the injured person?"

Gu Rongjie guessed and glanced at Zhou Ya.

She was covered in wounds and blood, and her whole body had no energy at all.

There were about a dozen other people, just like her, who were injured more or less seriously, but without exception, they looked very bad.

"Drag it down!"

The king yelled: "Death!"

boom!

There was an uproar everywhere, and the word 'execute', like the finger of death, directly tightened everyone's nerves, making everyone nervous and anxious.

The soldiers standing on both sides of the platform rushed over like wolves and tigers, broke into the crowd, and tried to drag out the dozen injured unfortunates.

"Help, help, I don't want to die!"
