At the bottom of the giant tree, there were multiple metal cages that were almost big enough to fit an adult. The surface of the cage was wrapped with blood-red roots, 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 on earth is going on?
Why are these people buried under trees 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 clear that the people were still alive when they were buried, so they were locked in metal cages to prevent them from escaping! After thinking about this, she looked at the dazzlingly beautiful vampire trees, but they were no longer there.
It feels a little bit wonderful, feeling that these giant trees are simply ferocious cannibals, absorbing nutrients from living people to strengthen themselves?
And in this process, how painful must it be for those who are buried alive?
It is simply a purgatory on earth! "The growth conditions of the Vampire Tree are extremely harsh and require 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 magical elixirs! Although the vampire tree makes me feel sick, what disgusts me the most is the person who planted the vampire tree!
If you feed the vampire tree with living creatures, your flesh and soul will be slowly devoured by the roots of the vampire tree. The pain of this process is beyond the imagination of ordinary people."
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 was filled with a strong smell of blood, and various sharp voices sounded from time to time, either begging for mercy or asking for mercy.
Swearing or crying is simply chilling.
In one of the cells, a human man and woman were kneeling on the ground. The woman was trembling because of fear. The man kowtowed desperately and begged: "Sir, please let us go! Please, my wife and I have everyone at home."
There are also old parents who need to be taken care of. If the two of us can't go back, they won't be able to survive.
Please, have mercy on 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 applauded 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.
Seeing how much you love your wife so much, 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 it is a chance to survive, then naturally only one of you two can survive.
Whoever picks up this knife and kills him, 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 (she) thinks he or she is rescued. In this way, the other person will experience falling from heaven to hell.
Such 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.
It's just a woman. As long as you live, you can definitely find another one.
Only by living can you have a future. If you die, everything will be 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, and stabbed his own throat! The purple-skinned monster's face darkened.
"don't want!"
The woman screamed and struggled desperately, but the knife did not penetrate the man's throat, leaving only a shallow scar on the man's neck.
"don't want.
don't want!"
With tears streaming down her face, the woman shook her head desperately, her voice became choked up, and she couldn't 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 his own throat again! "Damn! It's disgusting! I'm asking you to kill each other, not commit suicide."
They are obviously just two useless, despicable human beings, but they still look like they are not afraid of death. I almost want to vomit!"
The purple-skinned monster kicked the man away.
Boom - the man smashed against the wall and kept vomiting blood after falling to the ground. The woman ran to him, her face was distressed, and she was wailing. She was like a crazy female animal. She picked up the knife and rushed towards the purple-skinned monster! "Me!"
Fight with you!"
Woman screams.
"court death!"
The purple-skinned monster smiled ferociously.
"don't want!"
The man lying on the ground let out a desperate cry.
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!
