Stone City was heavily guarded by demon beasts, both inside and out.
Qiao Xixi was brought to a stone room on the top floor.
"City Lord, we've brought the female."
Qiao Xixi looked up and saw a large bench carved from stone, draped with a thick tiger skin.
An imposing Black Bear Demon Beast turned to look at Qiao Xixi.
One of his eyes was blind. The other, a small, black, beady eye, looked utterly chilling.
He wore an outfit of animal hide, but it was unlike any she had seen before. It was incredibly smooth, as if made from the skin of some aquatic beastman.
"So it was you who suddenly slowed down my Demon Beast Army."
Hei Zong spoke, his voice as hoarse as sandpaper grating against a wall.
"Yes, it was me."
Qiao Xixi knew that her chances of finding Qiao Lie and escaping on her own were slim.
Therefore, her first step was to prove her value to the demon beasts. Only then would she have a chance to find a way out.
"How did you do it?"
