Fortunately, Luo Xue's sense of smell seemed to have been weakened a lot, and the unbearable stench did not make her faint again.
“Is this considered protection from dreams?”
As this thought flashed through Luo Xue's mind, the footsteps outside had stopped and the human trafficker stood at the door.
She quickly closed her eyes, leaving only a faint sight, and leaned on the shoulder of another little girl.
I don’t know if it was because of the bumpy car or if it was just an illusion, but the shoulder that Luo Xue was leaning on seemed to tremble slightly at this moment.
“Squeak—”
Following an obscure sound of bearings turning, a thin figure walked into the carriage.
"Fuck, how can it be so smelly!" He covered his mouth and nose, cursing, "I should have let you come earlier, you haven't even reached the level of 'sensitive nose'!"
"Don't keep mentioning the fact that I'm one small realm behind you. The Immortal Master said that he would take us into the innate realm after the good thing is done. By then, this gap won't be that big." At this time, another voice sounded outside the car.
Hearing these words, Luo Xue felt a little flutter in her heart. She didn't expect that there really were immortal cultivators in this world.
So... it wasn't a dream
Luo Xue couldn't tell whether it was a dream or not.
But it was obvious that whether it was true or not, she had to get through this disaster first.
The human trafficker in the carriage took a small bamboo pole and randomly pushed the girls lying on the ground a few times. He looked into the depths of the carriage with a frown on his face.
Perhaps because the filthiness of the carriage was far beyond his imagination, he did not go any deeper.
"It's alright, it's okay, they're all fast asleep!"
The trafficker spat and stepped back, fearing that he would be contaminated by the filth.
"Oh, I've already said it, they are just a few yellow-haired girls, what trouble can they cause?"
"That's not necessarily true..."
The two men did not stop chattering, but they were no longer paying attention to what was happening in the carriage.
Luo Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sat up a little straighter, and glanced at the little girl she had just leaned on.
She had to take a look. She was shocked to see the little girl's big eyes staring at her. There seemed to be some fear lingering in the depths of her eyes.
Obviously, she was also frightened by the human trafficker's action of walking into the carriage just now.
"Besides me...someone else has woken up!"
Luo Xue's breathing became a little heavier, but the little girl blinked nervously, as if signaling Luo Xue not to make a sound.
The little girl stuck to Luo Xue, barely freeing a finger from her bound hands, and drew something on Luo Xue's thigh.
Luo Xue was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that she was writing.
In this environment where no sound is allowed, this is the only way to communicate.
"What's your name?"
Luo Xue hesitated for a while. She wanted to tell her real name, but she vaguely remembered that when she was unconscious, the human traffickers seemed to call her Achou.
Out of concern for the current unknown situation, Luo Xue decided to change her name first.
"Ah Chou."
Maybe she didn’t expect Luo Xue’s name to be like this. The little girl was stunned for a while before she continued writing.
"Su Yiyao."
It seems that Su Yiyao is about ten years old, just like the other little girls here.
She seemed to have woken up before Luo Xue. It was hard to imagine what kind of psychological shock a ten-year-old girl would experience when she woke up and saw this scene.
What is even more unimaginable is that Su Yiyao actually endured it.
At least before Luo Xue made a noise, she did not attract the attention of the human traffickers.
Luo Xue felt a little sorry for the little girl, even though her own situation was similar.
"Can I call you Xiaoyao?"
Luo Xue clumsily drew the unfamiliar words, touching Su Yiyao's soft yet cold skin, and sighed again in her heart.
She thought of someone.
Luo Xue was not the only one left in the gathering place. There were also several children who depended on Luo Xue for survival.
But in this nightmarish natural disaster... many people have already lost their lives.
"Sure... Ah Chou."
Su Yiyao's fingers were trembling slightly, she was... very happy.
Waking up alone in this dark and claustrophobic carriage, surrounded by people of the same age who looked like corpses, and outside there were evil-looking human traffickers...
It was unknown how long this kind of day had lasted. Su Yiyao almost lost the concept of time. Only loneliness and fear accompanied her at all times.
At this time, Su Yiyao had reached the brink of collapse. If Luo Xue had not suddenly woken up, she would probably have chosen to commit suicide in a short time.
The two young girls snuggled up to each other in the dark carriage. Su Yiyao, who had been holding on for a long time, finally relaxed a little, her eyelids drooping tiredly.
She tilted her head and leaned on Luo Xue's shoulder. The faint light coming through the gaps in the carriage gently fell on her cheek, and her long eyelashes sparkled.
It seems that Xiaoyao will be a very beautiful little person.
"I fell asleep."
Luo Xue couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth slightly, but when she thought of the current situation, the slight smile turned into a bit of bitterness.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the trafficker's slightly trembling voice came.
"Master Immortal?! Why... did you come here in person to pick me up?"

As for the issue of book cutting that the comment section has been worried about, I can only say that since I started writing books, I have never missed a full attendance, nor have I had a precedent of book cutting. This account is my only author account
Chapter 3: Strange Immortal Master
“You are too slow.”
This unusually feminine voice seemed to ring in everyone's ears, gentle but extremely oppressive.
Even Luo Xue thought at this moment that the other party had noticed her awakening, and she subconsciously tensed her body.
However, she soon realized that this should just be some kind of voice transmission. If she was really discovered, it would definitely not be so calm.
"Yes... I'm sorry, Master Immortal. The government has been investigating very strictly recently. It's difficult to bring these people out quietly..."
"That's not a reason." A feminine voice interrupted their defense.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard two thumps. It seemed that the two traffickers fell to their knees, and even their voices revealed a bit of fear that could not be concealed.
"I am the one who didn't know what was good for me and delayed the Master's important task. Please spare my life!"
The sound of kowtows continued, but soon the Immortal Master's voice sounded again, with a hint of impatience.
"Noisy."
In an instant, the two human traffickers seemed to be silenced and did not make any sound.
Could it be... that he was killed
Luo Xue, who had experienced the end of the world, had always speculated about others with the most extreme malice, not to mention that this was in the Xianwu world where all mortals were ants.
"Oh... By the way, don't you want to enter the Xiantian realm?" The Immortal Master's gentle laughter came, "I agree, I will help you now."
At the same time, there was also a slight chewing sound, as if some kind of insect was gnawing at the flesh and blood bite by bite.
In the quiet and silent environment, this subtle sound seems particularly harsh and terrifying.
Luo Xue didn't even dare to breathe. She leaned against the wall, trying her best to suppress the fear that kept rising from the depths of her heart, fearing that even the irregular rhythm of her heartbeat would be noticed by this "immortal master".
"What kind of luck do I have... What kind of world am I running in..."
It seems that the world of immortal cultivators is no less cruel than the doomsday world.
At this time, Luo Xue had another question. Why did this immortal master take so much pains to collect these little girls
And, they seem to be about the same age...
Is it for a ritual? Or is it to refine a magic weapon? Or is it to cultivate a furnace
Luo Xue didn't know whether this kind of behavior was considered evil cultivation or normal immortal in this world.
However, given the current situation, it would be of no use even if these doubts were answered.
This immortal master was able to easily kill several human traffickers. Whatever he wanted to do to Luo Xue and the others, they had no ability to resist.
"... What a hassle. It's almost too late. Let's just pick a few and go."
The immortal master muttered to himself, and then the carriage that had been tightly covered exploded completely, allowing the dazzling sunlight to pour in.
Luo Xue, whose eyes had become accustomed to the darkness, felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, but she resisted the urge to close her eyes and risked opening them a little.
She finally saw the environment outside the car, and the endless green mountains occupied her entire vision.
There were two figures kneeling in front of the carriage, and the outlines of human figures could be vaguely made out.
But the two figures were now covered with small insects, and the dense gnawing sounds made people's scalps tingle.
The immortal master was standing in mid-air next to the kneeling figure, his feminine face outlined a bit of harshness, and his pair of sharp eyes like snake pupils looked indifferently at the broken carriage.
I don’t know if he didn’t notice Luo Xue’s abnormality or he was too disdainful to pay attention to it. The immortal master just waved his sleeves, and purple-red mist spread out, covering all the girls.
"This, this is...what..."
A strong feeling of dizziness attacked Luo Xue, and her clear consciousness was severely damaged again.
The scene before my eyes began to become confused, with all kinds of strange and bizarre illusions intertwined like a kaleidoscope.
Only one bright red character was very clear.
[New abnormal state: Yin Breath Poison]
[Allocation of survival points: negative poison resistance +10]
[...Survive]
At the last moment before Luo Xue fell into coma, the immortal master's cold voice sounded in her ears again.
"I wonder how many 'seeds' can be saved from this batch..."
... ...
"Sir, she seems to be awake."
A faint, tender child's voice came from somewhere, and Luo Xue slowly opened her eyes.
She curled up subconsciously, but found herself covered with a soft and comfortable silk quilt, a touch she had not felt for a long, long time.
Luo Xue looked up and saw several pairs of big watery eyes staring at her. Next to them sat a gentle man.
The surroundings were no longer a dim carriage. Bright sunshine was shining into this quaint room, and she was lying on the soft and comfortable bed.
"I was unconscious for quite a while, but luckily I pulled through."
The man called "Sir" smiled softly, and his look of concern gave Luo Xue goosebumps all over her body.
"But sir, she's so ugly! Like a monster!"
One of the little girls pouted, with undisguised disgust showing in her expression. Most children of this age are very straightforward.
Luo Xue turned her head blankly and looked at the dressing table not far away. She saw herself in the mirror.
Indeed... ugly.
The little cheek was uneven, like a pile of melted flesh, and twisted scars covered half of the cheek, only the eyes were still clear.
Luo Xue could barely recognize her. Without these traces, it was her original appearance.
"Okay, okay, kids, don't laugh at others casually." The teacher stopped them with a chuckle, then looked at Luo Xue and observed her carefully for a while. "However, from the outside, it looks like a burn mark.
"But the flesh and blood inside are completely natural, and it seems more like it was born..."
Hearing this, Luo Xue turned her head stiffly and looked at the gentleman, with a hint of shock still in her eyes.
