As demonized puppets were almost as powerful as commoners, they would be greatly influenced in the dark. Only in this way could Zhang Tie have a chance to sneak into that cave and find out what was going on inside it.
When the tragedy happened in the daytime, Zhang Tie wanted to save people; however, he couldn't do that at all. In that case, besides exposing himself, he could only kill some weaker demonized puppets. Zhang Tie? Long Time Fighting Witchcraft
Zhang Tie applied a hiding rune and a rapid moving rune to himself. With the effect of the two runes, Zhang Tie was like an elusive light smoke in the dark. In the blink of an eye, he had traveled over 100 m and was less than 15 m away from the entrance of the cave.
Zhang Tie hid himself on the crown of a big tree. After that, he picked up a small stone and threw it towards the other side. The small stone flew into a pile of shrubs dozens of meters away, causing a sound.
The demonized puppets at the entrance of the cave were very vigilant. After hearing the sound, all the demonized puppets turned around and looked over there. Closely after that, the head of the demonized puppets uttered some low roars while a team of demonized puppets ran towards the source of the sound.
Seizing this opportunity, Zhang Tie slid off the tree and passed the defense line of these demonized puppets along the shadows at the entrance of the cave. He then successfully sneaked into the cave.
These demonized puppets' battle strength was not powerful. However, as demonized puppets were controlled by puppet worms, the moment Zhang Tie killed a demonized puppet, the parent worm of the demonized puppet would sense it for sure. Therefore, Zhang Tie wanted to explore the inside of the cave.
On the battlefield, demonized puppets were almost the best sentinels. Being surrounded by demonized puppets corps, the demon corps had almost not been raided by human corps in the 2nd holy war. Zhang Tie wanted to figure out the details of the cave. Naturally, he did not want to alert the enemy.
However, the sound that he heard in the daytime shocked Zhang Tie even more. He had not imagined that humans could cooperate with demons in the open at this moment. Besides the demonized puppets corps, there seemed to be many humans in this cave. Zhang Tie had to figure it out. After seeing those people in the daytime, Zhang Tie felt that the purpose of this demonized puppets corps in Misty Moon Woods was not simple. The human alliance command made a great mistake in the intelligence about this place.
The moment he entered the cave, Zhang Tie had almost vomited due to the turbid and stinky air in the cave. The smell from the depth of the cave was as same as that of a slaughterhouse and a cesspool which had not been cleaned for dozens of years. Even the worst smell that you could imagine could not match this smell.
Bearing his discomfort, Zhang Tie dodged away from the places that might expose him as he rapidly sneaked into the cave.
This was a huge natural karst cave. However, the deeper it was, the more spacious it would be. Additionally, there were many traces of new excavation in the cave, which made Zhang Tie more confused — — what are demons excavating here?
In the pitch-black cave. Every so often, there would be a fluorite lamp or natural unprocessed fluorite on both sides of the cave, providing a bit of light in the dark cave.
Squads of demonized puppets were patrolling in the places where there were fluorite lamps and fluorites. Otherwise, he could temporarily divert the attention of the demonized puppets like what he used at the entrance of the cave just now and pass through it rapidly.
Demonized puppets were not very intelligent. Therefore, Zhang Tie's trick of diverting the demonized puppets away from the mountain was always effective.
On the way, Zhang Tie was shocked by the piles of stinky human bones everywhere. At the beginning, there were only a few white bones; however, the deeper he went into the cave, the more white bones he saw. At one time, he saw tens of thousands of human bones piling up like a mountain, filling a pit as large as half a football field in the underground cave. The strong, suffocating smell was emitted from that pit. Numerous rats with bloody eyes were moving in and out of the piles of bones, gnawing the rotten flesh on the bones. Some of them drilled into the cracks between the bones and skulls, sucking the marrow in the bones.
The sound of "Cha... cha... cha..." when the rats ate the bones sounded like numerous people rubbing the sandy ground with their soles, which made Zhang Tie's scalp numb.
That scene was like the reappearance of hell.
After experiencing so many cruel scenes, Zhang Tie thought that he was very sensitive. However, at the sight of such a scene, his face turned pale at once while his stomach churned.
Zhang Tie wished that he had not seen such a scene. That terrifying and disgusting scene could not be described by words.
Zhang Tie left that terrifying scene behind as fast as he could.
When he recalled what he saw in the daytime, Zhang Tie immediately understood that those human bones and skulls were the leftovers of those demonized puppets.
At the same time, Zhang Tie understood why a corps of hundreds of thousands of demonized puppets could not be discovered in Misty Moon Woods. Because those b * stards were completely hiding underground. Additionally, demonized puppets who hid underground also needed to eat human captives.
A flame of fury started to burn in Zhang Tie's heart. What was the holy war between humans? Actually, the holy war was not sacred. It was just a choice that humans had to make in the extremely cold and cruel situation — — to be the food of demons or to survive on. If humans wanted to survive on, they had to fight. They had to crush demons into pieces, burn them into ashes, bury them into the soil and stomp on them for 10,000 times. That was the holy war.
Although Zhang Tie couldn't wait to chop off all the heads of those demon b * stards in front of him, he became calmer at this moment. 'There must be a reason for demons to hide here. '
Zhang Tie continued to move deeper into the cave.
After moving deeper into the mountain cave for about 4-5 km, Zhang Tie felt that the underground temperature started to rise a bit. Finally, he arrived at the exit of the mountain cave. Finally, at the exit of the cave, a vast underground space appeared in front of Zhang Tie.
Finally, at the exit of the cave, Zhang Tie slipped out of the breach like a shadow. After that, he rapidly found a high and hidden place near the breach behind a pile of stalactites.
In front of Zhang Tie was an underground space which covered dozens of square miles. Some fiery lava rivers were slowly flowing through the underground space. In a place 7-8 miles away, Zhang Tie saw a lava waterfall from hundreds of meters high.
Due to the relationship between these lava rivers and that lava waterfall, this underground space was covered with a misty glow like the dusk of the doomsday.
A huge military camp was standing in the middle of this underground space. The surroundings of this underground space were like a huge underground construction site. Zhang Tie found over 100,000 people in ragged clothes were busy digging something on both sides of this underground space like ants. Demonized puppets with bloody eyes and grim looks were patrolling around in squads with sabers and spears in hands. They were monitoring those people's labor. Some people were swearing loudly in human language and waving whips in their hands. They were constantly whipping those laborers with whips.
Not far from Zhang Tie, a skinny man was carrying a stone weighing dozens of kg by hands while quivering. All of a sudden, a steel whip flew towards him from afar like the tongue of a poisonous snake and heavily whipped onto that man's back.
The man uttered a miserable shriek as the stone slipped off his hand and rolled onto the ground.
When the second whip fell onto him, the man didn't even dodge it; instead, he threw himself onto that stone like a madman. He wanted to pick up the stone once again.
The man's back was cracked once again. The sharp pain caused him to quiver all over. At the same time, he loosened his grip, causing the stone to fall onto the ground once again.
"Trash..." the man who waved the whip swore.
"No... no... I'm not a trash. I can do it. I can continue to work... "the man shrieked as he struggled to pick up the stone once again.
But when the third whip landed on his hand, it directly broke one of his wrist bones. This time, the man's hope of picking up Shitou was shattered.
"Please... give me one more chance... give me one more chance..." the man screamed.
"Don't worry, you're still useful!" The guy who held the steel whip sneered. Closely after that, he waved his hand while some demonized puppets with bloody eyes rushed over here and dragged that man away...
"Ah... no,... don't..." the man shrieked miserably.
In the eyes of everyone else, the man was dragged to the first place not far away by demonized puppets. Closely after that, more fuzzy puppets ran over here and surrounded that man. After that, they started to gnaw that man's flesh and blood like how a herd of wild beasts captured their prey. That man's shriek stopped in a split second, leaving only the sound of being gnawed by demonized puppets.
At the sight of such a scene, some of the nearby humans couldn't help but quiver; some of them were completely numb. They just lowered their heads and continued to work, allowing those steel whips to whip them...
...
Right then, a shadow slowly crawled to the front of Zhang Tie from afar. Feeling something, that person raised his head, revealing a swarthy and flurried face. Watching Zhang Tie's eyes, he revealed an extremely scared look at once. That person opened his mouth and wanted to scream; however, Zhang Tie covered his mouth and dragged him to the back of those stalactites.
