Chapter 691 - 691 They All Deserve To Die!
691 They All Deserve To Die!
There were more than 20 wooden boxes filled with beasts.
Huanhuan originally wanted to let them go, but the rain had become heavier. A mudslide suddenly erupted on the mountain, and the mud washed down the trees on the mountain, blocking the cave.
Fortunately, Yun Hui reacted quickly enough and blocked the entrance with a rock in time. Otherwise, the mud would have surged into the cave and drowned everyone in it.
Now, all the beasts were blocked at the entrance of the cave and could not leave.
!!
Huanhuan and Yun Hui had no choice but to stay. They were going to think of a way to clean the mud at the entrance when the rain eased.
In addition to the two of them and Eggy, there were 109 beasts in the cave.
Most of these beasts were male beasts who had just reached adulthood, and there were a few white-haired old beasts.
Yun Hui buried the corpses of Ah Gui and the other workers. The other five workers were still breathing. He did not kill the five of them. Instead, he tied them up and left them in a corner of the cave.
Huanhuan lit a fire in the cave.
At first, the beasts did not dare to approach. Later, when they saw that Huanhuan and Yun Hui were fine sitting by the fire, they gradually let down their guard and approached the fire bit by bit to enjoy the warmth and light brought by the fire.
Huanhuan tried to talk to them.
Seeing that she was a female and her voice was soft and sweet, the male beasts could not be wary of her and were willing to answer her questions.
From them, she learned that most of them came from remote and poor small tribes. The beasts in these tribes were less vigilant and ignorant. They were easily fooled.
Previously, it was because a few well-dressed beasts had come to their tribe and described to them how good the outside world was, especially Rock City, where they lived. It was the most prosperous beast city on this continent.
They also took out many novel and interesting things, making the beasts in the small tribe envious.
“They told us that as long as we went to Rock City, we could eat meat and wear soft cotton clothes every day. If we were lucky, we might be able to gain the favor of females and find a mate we like.”
“Our tribe is very poor. We struggle to have our meals and often face disease and ferocious beasts. Our lives are very hard. When we heard that life in Rock City was so good, we wanted to follow them to Rock City to live.”
Huanhuan thought of what must’ve happened next. “Those beasts are Ah Gui’s workers? Did they lie to you?”
“Yes!” At this point, the beasts became agitated. “They tricked us into Rock City, but not only did they not give us a piece of meat, but they also locked us up and sold us to others as slaves!”
“They want to sell you to Dark Moon City. Do you know why?”
The man thought about it carefully. “I heard two of the workers talking about a ritual when they were chatting. They said it required a lot of slaves. I don’t know the details.”
Huanhuan was deep in thought. A ritual…
Little Brat’s voice sounded in her mind.
“A ritual that uses slaves is definitely not a good ritual. The high priest of the Dark Moon Temple is trying to cause trouble!”
As there were others around, Huanhuan did not reply.
Those beasts had not eaten for a few days and were already starving. Some of them began to dig up the weeds in the cave. After digging them out, they did not even wash them. They just stuffed them into their mouths and chewed twice before swallowing with difficulty.
Huanhuan couldn’t bear to see them like that. She wanted to take out food and share it with them, but Little Brat stopped her.
“The human heart is greedy. Unconditional help will make them take such help for granted, just like Xue Hui and the Divine Wood clan.”
Huanhuan recalled the changes in the Divine Wood clan and felt uncomfortable. She dismissed the idea of distributing food.
The weeds in the cave were very limited. After they ate all the weeds, there was nothing else to eat. In the end, they actually targeted the corpses.
Two bold beasts dug out the corpses that were buried not long ago with their bare hands.
The corpses were already showing signs of decay. As soon as they were dug up, the stench of decay filled the air, making Huanhuan almost vomit.
She quickly hugged Eggy and hid far away.
The starving beasts ate the better-preserved meat on the corpses.
The other beasts watched from the side, their expressions different.
Later, more and more beasts couldn’t stand the pain of hunger and began to eat the corpses. They even stuffed all the rotten meat into their mouths.
When Huanhuan saw this, she felt a chill run down her spine.
Yun Hui noticed that she didn’t look good and took the initiative to ask, “What’s wrong? Are you sick?”
In this cave, he was the only person she could trust apart from Eggy.
Huanhuan involuntarily approached him and whispered, “I feel a little nauseous.”
Yun Hui followed her gaze and saw the beasts eating the rotting flesh of the corpses. He said calmly, “Are they disturbing you? Do you want me to get rid of them?”
Huanhuan shook her head. “Forget it. Ignore them.”
At this moment, she just wanted to wait quietly for the rain to stop and leave with Eggy and Yun Hui.
As for what those beasts who had eaten human flesh would become in the future, it had nothing to do with her.
Eggy was young and didn’t think there was anything scary about eating the meat of her own kind. When she saw that the beasts were eating happily, she couldn’t help but say, “Mom, I’m hungry.”
Huanhuan took out sweet fruits from her s.p.a.ce and fed them to her.
Eggy ate the sweet fruits. The sweet taste spread, and it was in stark contrast to the smell of putrefaction.
When the beasts in the cave saw the sweet fruits, their eyes lit up.
Their eyes lit up as they stared at Eggy. A few bold beasts couldn’t help but want to s.n.a.t.c.h the sweet fruits.
Yun Hui sensed the restless thoughts of the beasts in the cave. He sat up slightly and released his pressure as a powerhouse. He looked around coldly.
The beasts he looked at couldn’t help but feel afraid. They involuntarily lowered their heads, not daring to have any more ideas about Eggy.
The corpses were almost eaten up, leaving only empty bones.
Before long, these beasts were hungry again.
This time, they focused on the dying workers in the corner.
These guys were especially detestable. Not only did they trick them into coming to Rock City, but they also treated them as trash. They were always beaten up and scolded. This group of beasts was extremely insulting.
They all deserved to die!
Most importantly, these guys had a lot of meat on them that could fill them up!
