"Let me look for it~ Where is it, don't worry... There are too many things. Because of the 'cage', I can only huddle in this small space, so the things are piled together, making it difficult to find...
But before that, let’s have a drink.”
After sticking his fleshy arms under the flesh-and-blood seat for a long time, the 'spokesman' remembered that it seemed rude to leave his collaborator aside.
When he stretched out his arm again, he was already holding an exquisite... skull wine vessel.
And in the wine vessel, a dense and alluring fragrance penetrated through the protective film of the [Black Sea] and penetrated into Hero's nasal cavity.
"Is this... the blood essence of the aboriginal people? Or is it purified?"
Hero looked around and saw that the amount of essence inside was many times more than what he had obtained. Even the color was more charming like amber, reflecting the moonlight on his fingertips extremely dazzlingly.
The ‘spokesperson’ leaned over and opened the corners of his mouth flatteringly, and said with a smile:
"Drink, there are not many such good things left, at least this area won't produce them again in a short time. Once the 'cage' is released, maybe it can be produced again after decades of cultivation.
"
Without waiting for Holo to reach out, he directly stuffed the wine vessel into his arms, and then got into the flesh and blood seat to sort out the collection.
But... as it moved, the beating heart and the connected black thread were swayed on the seat.
I really don't care at all.
Hero narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the 'spokesman' who was twisting on the seat. He wiped the wine vessel in his arms and sighed at the residual warmth on it.
'It should have just been taken out of the meatball package.'
but……
He casually observed his heart from the corner of his eye.
‘This is the core, how can you expose it so safely? Or is it a scam?’
Holo is so jealous!
"Huh? Why don't you drink it? For us, this is a good thing that can expand pollution! Even I don't have much left to survive."
"Delicious food needs to be tasted well, but I hope it will be after the success of 'freedom'."
The 'spokesman' tilted his head and looked at Hero for a while, then expressed his understanding after pondering for a while.
"It's true... we don't have 'freedom' yet, but the taste of hope is even more charming than freedom itself. Let me have a drink first to pay tribute!"
He did not force Hero to raise a glass with him, but took out a new drinking vessel himself.
The amber-like blood essence slid down the broken throat.
Hero could even see the shining light coming from the gap in the neck of the meat sprout.
Gudonggudong!
The ‘spokesman’ drank a full glass, opened his mouth and let out a silent belch, smiling foolishly:
"It reminds me of the beauty that has been stored in my longest-lasting memory. It's really good. However, if you drink this thing one cup, you will lose one cup after you go out... Hehe, in such a vast territory, it is easy to refine this thing, and it can even be exchanged.
I think the taste in the north and south of the empire will be very different."
Hero looked at it and muttered to himself, and inadvertently took two steps back.
As expected, this thing still hasn't broken free from the shackles of desire.
It's just that this cage has suppressed it for so long that the blood food of ordinary living beings has no appeal to it.
Rumble...
He Luo steadied himself, and the mountain of meat under his feet began to squirm. He always felt that there was a huge thing crawling underneath, and it might break out of the ground at any time and drag him into the ground.
Just when he thought the movement was caused by the giant whale, the 'spokesman' took a long breath and laughed at the darkness above.
Countless arms formed from 'granulation' protruded from the flesh and blood seat.
The arms in front of me are no longer in their normal shape.
They are all kinds of weird, and some are connected by multiple small arms to form a multi-jointed monster.
There are even multiple arms connected vertically and horizontally to form a dense network structure.
"Why is this thing getting crazier and crazier? If we wait until we are completely free, will it be okay?"
Hero stabbed his spear into the flesh beneath his feet to steady himself.
The timid aura attracted the crazy 'spokesperson', and at this time, the shape of the 'spokesperson''s body also mutated following the huge movement.
"Don't be nervous, my partner. I'm just preparing to break free from this rotten body. Such a huge body is not conducive for me to get out."
Under the flesh and blood seat, countless fleshy arms were connected together to support it. With the appearance of the arms, the flesh and blood mountain under their feet became a lot shorter.
And above the supported seat, the broken 'spokesperson' also became more complete.
The scarlet light of the piece of meat became more dazzling under the moonlight between Holo's fingers, shining brightly in the darkness.
Its upper body has been filled in more completely with granulation.
But only in terms of outline.
Hero saw with his own eyes that when new ribs grew and closed in the chest, there were no organs inside.
After closing, the space left in the middle... was used by the 'spokesperson' to place the beating heart.
The black thread connected to the half-exposed heart just hangs on the seat.
The "Spokesperson" flicked the black thread with his finger and said to Hero:
"I'm really looking forward to it. Every second now feels long to me. What do you think...by the time I get out, this thing will be useless."
The head it raised still had no facial features, but there was a crown of bones on the top of its head.
The sense of danger emanating from the entire posture was even more terrifying than before.
'It has been distilled from thousands of years of accumulation...it's really a package to take away.'
Holo rubbed the lines on the handle of the [Takiri-pinched spear] with his fingertips.
The wings of the baby bird on its back are also covered by the [Black Sea], constantly communicating with the same source of breath outside.
But his eyes were staring at the beating object in the darkness.
With its current strength, he only has one chance.
Still need to wait...
Rumble...
"It seems the appointed time has arrived!"
"finally come!"
The space trembled again.
It's just that the noise this time made the eyes of the two people who were harboring evil intentions light up.
In the middle of the dark dome above, a narrow opening opened.
It was so small that only a black silk thread could be easily drilled out from inside.
At the same time, the black thread hanging from the seat also gave off a polluted smell that was incompatible with the surroundings.
"I promise you...I'm coming."
The 'Spokesperson' held up the black thread with pious hands. Even without pupils, Hero could see the excitement in the empty eyes.
"'free'!"
As if she recognized who was talking to her, the tone on the other end of the black thread immediately changed and became very vicious.
"Hmph... If you hadn't done such an offensive thing, we would have been out of trouble long ago!"
"Yes... it's my fault, but you have to understand that if I hadn't taken on most of the 'cage''s confinement power, you wouldn't have been able to escape so easily and become parasitic!"
"That's no reason to offend!"
The ‘spokesperson’ did not pay attention to the rudeness of the black thread group, but responded with a smile:
"Okay, now that we have the same goal, it's time to rebel against this 'cage'!"
"I can agree not because of you. If you want to gain my trust, you must at least show some sincerity first, such as...the thousand-year-old relics in this city that you have devoured."
"A thousand-year relic... sincerity? Is this how you talk to me about sincerity?"
When talking about thousand-year-old relics, Hero could clearly feel...
It seems to have unleashed a beast deep within that had been suppressed for a long time.
