The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 266: Imprisoned in the Dungeon

Lin Ruoxue was exhausted after a fierce confrontation with the evil forces. However, the evil forces had no mercy at all. They violently escorted Lin Ruoxue towards the eerie dungeon.

Along the way, the light gradually became dim, as if the light was being swallowed by darkness. The damp smell followed like a shadow, blowing in the face, making people feel depressed and uncomfortable. Lin Ruoxue's heart was filled with fear and uneasiness. She didn't know what fate would be waiting for her. But she tried to control her emotions and not let the evil forces see her weakness. She straightened her spine, and her eyes revealed determination and unyielding.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can hold on." A lackey of the evil forces said viciously. His eyes were full of malice and ridicule, as if he was looking at a lamb to be slaughtered.

Lin Ruoxue ignored him and just silently observed the surrounding environment, looking for a possible escape opportunity. Her eyes were sharp and focused, not missing any details. However, she felt desperate because of the solid walls and strict guards all around. Those walls seemed to be insurmountable obstacles, and the guards were like vigilant hounds, always monitoring her every move.

Finally, they arrived at the entrance of the dungeon. The heavy iron door slowly opened, making a harsh friction sound. The sound seemed to be a call from hell, making people shudder. A foul smell emanated from inside, making people nauseous. The dark dungeon was like a monster with its bloody mouth wide open, waiting to devour everything.

Lin Ruoxue was pushed into the dungeon, and the iron door slammed shut behind her. The loud noise seemed to be a declaration of fate, announcing her predicament and helplessness. She staggered a few steps before steadying herself. The dungeon was dark and damp, with only a few weak oil lamps emitting a dim light. The light was like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time. The walls were covered with moss and spider webs, and there were unknown insects crawling on the ground. Those insects seemed like ghosts in the dark, making people feel creepy.

Lin Ruoxue sat down against the wall, her heart filled with despair. She didn't know whether Qin Mufeng and Bai Zixuan could find her, nor did she know whether she could escape from this terrible place. She felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss and couldn't extricate herself.

"I can't just give up like this." Lin Ruoxue said to herself secretly. She began to recall the medical skills and magic she had learned, thinking about how to use them to escape. Her eyes flashed with wisdom, as if she had found a glimmer of hope in the darkness.

At this moment, she heard footsteps. The footsteps were heavy and powerful, like the footsteps of death. She raised her head nervously, and saw a fierce guard approaching. The guard's eyes were full of vigilance and hostility, and he held a weapon tightly in his hands, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

"Behave yourself and don't try any tricks." The guard said fiercely. His voice was like a loud bell, echoing in the small dungeon.

Lin Ruoxue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile: "Do you think you can succeed by locking me up here? You underestimate me, Lin Ruoxue." Her voice was full of confidence and courage, as if she was declaring war on the evil forces.

Lin Ruoxue looked at him coldly, her eyes revealing determination and unyielding spirit. The guard was startled by her look. He had never seen such a brave woman. He quickly turned around and left, as if he was running away from something.
