Chapter 577: Younger Brother

The man had been imprisoned by the Fire Emperor for a while now, having come to understand roughly what had happened and also when the best time to escape would be.

However, escaping alone was absolutely impossible, even though the defenses were weak.

Those imprisoned by the Fire Emperor were spared from labor but were beaten daily and had their marrow extracted to feed the venomous creatures.

Such days of agony had become unbearable, but over time, the pain had turned numb, and they no longer thought about trivial things.

Getting used to it was the most terrifying thing. Many captives had started to adapt and gave up struggling altogether.

It took the man quite some time to find four others who shared his thoughts of escape. They formed a team and observed the guards' routines daily.
