At the bottom of the giant tree, there were multiple metal cages that were almost big enough to fit an adult. Blood-red roots were wrapped around the surface of the cages, and inside were mutilated human corpses.
Some of them looked as if they had died only a few days ago, and their faces were extremely twisted and ferocious, full of fear and resentment. If you were a timid person, you would probably faint from fear when you saw this scene.
Cassia is not timid, but when she saw this picture, the mutilated corpses, and the soil stained crimson by blood, and thought of the red liquid in the trunk of the vampire tree, she also had some thoughts
It was a bit creepy, and I almost screamed.
"Lin Chen, what is going on? Why are these people buried under the tree after being killed? Also, you just said this is a vampire tree. Is there anything special about a vampire tree?"
Cassia looked at Lin Chen. From Lin Chen's reaction, she guessed that Lin Chen should know what was going on.
Lin Chen looked at the incomplete corpses in the cage below, and said solemnly: "Instead of killing them and burying them in the ground, we bury them alive directly."
Cassia's eyes were sharp, and she looked at the mutilated corpses in the cage again. She also thought that if they were killed and then buried, why bother to lock them in a metal cage?
It was obvious that the people were still alive when they were buried, so they were kept in metal cages to prevent them from escaping!
After thinking about this, she looked at the dazzlingly beautiful vampire trees, but she no longer felt that they were beautiful at all. She felt that these giant trees were simply ferocious man-eating evil spirits that actually absorbed living people.
nutrients to strengthen yourself?
And in this process, how painful must it be for those who are buried alive?
It’s simply purgatory on earth!
"The growth conditions of the vampire tree are extremely harsh. It needs the flesh, blood and soul of living creatures as nutrients to grow. The vampire flower it blooms is a precious alchemy material that can be used to refine a variety of high-grade gods.
Dan!
Although the vampire tree makes me feel disgusted, what disgusts me the most is the people who plant the vampire tree! Feeding the vampire tree with living creatures will cause the flesh and soul to be slowly devoured by the roots of the vampire tree. This process is painful.
It’s something that ordinary people simply can’t imagine.”
Lin Chen said coldly.
"To use living people as food for trees is simply hateful!"
Cassia also showed a bit of indignation and muttered, "Since the vampire tree is blatantly planted in the courtyard, it means that the person who planted the vampire tree is not only not afraid of others knowing, but also has a high probability that he should be the owner of this palace!"
She looked at Lin Chen and found that Lin Chen closed his eyes and remained silent.
It was immediately clear that Lin Chen should be using his spiritual thoughts to explore everything in this palace!
………
The humid air in the underground prison is filled with a strong smell of blood. From time to time, various sharp sounds can be heard, either begging for mercy, scolding, or crying, which is simply chilling.
In one of the cells, a human man and woman were kneeling on the ground. The woman was shaking because of fear. The man kowtowed desperately and begged:
"Sir, please let us go! Please, my wife and I still have old parents who need to be taken care of at home. If we can't go back, they won't be able to survive. Please, I'm so pitiful.
us!"
In front of them was a guy who looked very similar to a human, but more like a monster.
He is tall, more than two meters tall, with bulging muscles, an ugly face, and purple skin. When he grins, you can see the sharp teeth in his mouth that are like wild beasts.
"Originally, I was going to feed you to the vampire tree today, but just now I heard you comforting your wife, saying that as long as you are here, you will definitely protect her?"
The purple-skinned monster clapped his hands and said with a joking look on his face, "I'm touched! I'm so touched. I didn't expect that in this situation, you would still have the heart to comfort others. Since you love your wife so deeply, I
I am willing to give you two a chance to live!"
The human couple were overjoyed when they heard this and looked at the purple-skinned monster hopefully.
The purple-skinned monster showed a cat-and-mouse smile in his eyes, threw a knife in front of the two of them, and said:
"Since this is a chance to survive, then naturally only one of you two can survive. Whoever picks up this knife and kills the other person, I will spare his life!"
The two people's expressions froze before they met, and the smile on the purple-skinned monster's face immediately became brighter.
Cultivation is a very boring thing. Many cultivators have some ways to please themselves, and their entertainment is to torture these weak and humble humans, break their beauty, and enjoy the pleasure of dominating everything.
!
He has decided that after one of the two people in front of him kills the other, he will kill the other person when he or she thinks he or she is rescued. In this way, the other person will experience the experience of falling from heaven to hell.
of despair!
Thinking of this, the purple-skinned monster was even more excited and thought it was a good fun.
At this time, he saw the man in front of him and picked up the knife.
"Very good! That's it, kill her! Kill her and you will be rescued. She is just a woman. As long as you live, you can find another one. Only if you are alive can you have a future. If you die, everything will be lost.
It’s all over!”
The purple-skinned monster had a smile on his face and made a bewitching sound, like a demon whispering.
The man put the hilt of the knife into his wife's hand, then grabbed his wife's hand, looked hard at her, and stabbed him in the throat!
The purple-skinned monster's face darkened.
"No!" the woman screamed and struggled desperately. The knife did not penetrate the man's throat, leaving only a shallow scar on the man's neck.
"No. No!" The woman burst into tears and shook her head desperately. Her voice became even more choked and unable to say a complete sentence. She just kept repeating that she didn't want to kill the other person.
The man picked up the knife that the woman had thrown on the ground and stabbed himself in the throat again!
"Damn! It's so disgusting! I'm asking you to kill each other, not commit suicide. They're just two trash, despicable human beings, but they look like they're not afraid of death. I'm going to vomit!"
The purple-skinned monster kicked the man away.
Boom——
The man smashed himself against the wall and kept vomiting blood after he landed. The woman ran to him, her face was distressed and she was crying loudly. She picked up the knife and rushed towards the purple-skinned monster like a crazy female animal!
"I'll fight you!" the woman screamed.
"Seeking death!" the purple-skinned monster laughed ferociously.
"No!" The man lying on the ground shouted in despair.
At the critical moment, just when the huge palm of the purple-skinned monster was about to hit the woman on the head, the woman disappeared out of thin air in front of him!
