The places where human captives slept were in those caves in this underground space. The light in those caves was very dim, some were even pitch-dark. Human captives had proved with their own painful experiences that people slept best in the dark, and their physical energy would recover faster. Those captives who liked to sleep in bright places couldn't last too long in such an environment. They had long become skeletons, and even their bones couldn't be found.
Because of this reason, all the human captives would choose to sleep in relatively quiet and hidden places when they could.
Additionally, Zhang Tie found that those human captives who insisted on not eating human fleshes and those human captives who started to eat human fleshes under the oppression of demons would not sleep together; instead, they would sleep in different caves. In this way, they might feel a sense of security for each other.
This situation was convenient for Zhang Tie to take action.
Like all the other human captives, even if someone saw Zhang Tie in ragged clothes, they would not doubt his identity at all; instead, they would treat him as a human captive and enslaved by demons.
When the entire underground space became tranquil and demonized puppets started to take a rest in batches, Zhang Tie walked in the dark and visited those mountain caves one after another. He visited those sleeping mountain caves one after another and searched for those human captives who didn't wear human teeth over their necks.
There were many such mountain caves. Some mountain caves contained more than 10 people. Some caves had dozens of people sleeping in them, while others had hundreds of people sleeping in them.
Zhang Tie was like a ghost in the dark. After running around the mountain caves at an extremely high speed, he touched those who were asleep and teleported them into Castle of Black Iron in a split second. It only took Zhang Tie less than 10 seconds to teleport over 100 people into Castle of Black Iron. If there were fewer people... Zhang Tie's speed of teleporting those people into Castle of Black Iron could be described as a strong wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
Actually, some people had not completely fallen asleep. Twice, when Zhang Tie rushed into the mountain cave, someone had already noticed that he had turned over and sat up vigilantly. Zhang Tie wanted to exclaim; however, he didn't stop; neither did he explain anything; instead, he flashed past as fast as a lightning bolt. Before the person who discovered him tried to scream. They had been teleported into Castle of Black Iron.
Zhang Tie didn't know how many people he could save. He just tried his best to do it. He didn't even need to ask those people whether they would like to enter Castle of Black Iron or not, because he didn't have time to do that. Neither would he waste his time like this. Those people could only die here. The only problem was how long they could stand here. One month, two months. Three months …
If there was really that kind of eccentric masochist who was willing to be enslaved and tortured to death by the demons, then it was very simple. Since he didn't want to live, then let him jump into the Pool of Chaos and kill himself.
However, Zhang Tie estimated that such a person could barely be found among 100,000 people. Therefore, he didn't need to ask whether those people who were sent into Castle of Black Iron would like to leave here or not.
At this moment, Zhang Tie only had one thought in his mind — — as long as he could save one, he didn't care about anything else.
Zhang Tie's time was very precious.
The rune effect of rapid moving skill had long passed. In the next 2 hours, Zhang Tie applied two more rapid moving skills on himself so as to maintain the highest agility and speed.
In the past 2 hours, Zhang Tie didn't remember how many people he had saved and how many mountain caves he had entered. He estimated that he had saved over 10,000 people. The more people he saved, the more likely he would be exposed and the more easily he would be discovered by those lackeys of demons and Three-eye Association.
Finally, in a mountain cave, after sending over 60 people into Castle of Black Iron, the moment Zhang Tie rushed out of the cave, he saw a guy in good clothes standing at the entrance of the cave with a leather whip around his waist with a dumbfounded look...
That guy was a lackey of Three-eye Association. Zhang Tie didn't know why he was here, whether he was here for inspection or something else. However, it seemed that he had already found that all the people in the cave had disappeared. The moment he was going to scream, Zhang Tie had already rushed to his front. Before he screamed, Zhang Tie had already grasped that guy's neck and strangled his voice.
Zhang Tie dragged that guy into the cave. In a split second, that guy lost his ability to resist. Being grasped by Zhang Tie's plier-like iron wrists, that guy's face turned red as he started to struggle all over.
"I ask, you answer, am I clear?" Zhang Tie said icily. Closely after that, he loosened his grip a bit.
"You... you can't escape out... you'd better let me go... if you dare touch me... the Holy Clan will kill you..."
It seemed that that guy had not figured out the current situation or he had mistaken Zhang Tie's identity as one of those captives who wanted to escape out of here due to Zhang Tie's ragged clothes. Therefore, he threatened Zhang Tie the moment he opened his mouth.
Zhang Tie remained silent. Zhang Tie was scared by that guy's words. It was not the first time for such a thing to happen here. However, none of the captives could escape out of here. Therefore, he became more and more fearless.
Just now, Zhang Tie's movements were very fast, and they were in the dark. As a result, he had no idea how strong Zhang Tie was. His level was not high, and his vision was limited. Therefore, he only regarded Zhang Tie as one of the captives who was hiding his abilities. There were indeed such captives among them. However, they were at most LV 6 or LV 7. They could not cause any trouble.
"Where... are Feli and the others... if you tell me... if you would like to cooperate with me... after catching them... you will make a meritorious deed... I can recommend you to the lords of the Holy Clan... you can be a slave supervisor like me... you can also have Feli and the other women serve you..."
After thinking for a while, Zhang Tie realized that there were indeed some women in this mountain cave just now. However, he didn't take a careful look at them. It seemed that this guy came to this mountain cave with an impure purpose. He might want to force those women to do something dirty.
Zhang Tie thought that this guy could control the situation. Zhang Tie didn't waste time. He slightly tightened his grip on this guy's neck so that he could not utter any sound. Closely after that, he took out a dagger by another hand. In the blink of an eye, he ferociously stabbed into this guy's thighs 7-8 times like stabbing into a broken pocket. Each time, he stabbed into the bottom, pulled it out and stabbed it in again. He pulled it out and inserted it again. Each time, he inserted it in a different place …
Zhang Tie's movements were too fierce. That guy widely opened his eyes like that of a dead fish as he was pressed by Zhang Tie. He could not move at all. Closely after that, he started to twitch like a shrimp being thrown into a hot iron pot while the green veins on his neck and forehead bulged at once.
Only after more than ten seconds, soybean-sized sweat drops had rolled down his forehead one after another. His face had turned completely pale.
Zhang Tie just watched him coldly without even batting his eyelids, "What's the highest level of demonized puppets in the demonized puppets corps?"
After asking this question, Zhang Tie slightly loosened his grip so that this guy could utter a sound.
"Who... who are you?"
This guy had already sensed that something was wrong. That was because none of the human captives here were carrying daggers. Zhang Tie's icy aura gave him a strange sense of fear. Pitifully, he was not smart enough.
Zhang Tie gripped his neck once again while stabbing into his thigh three times rapidly with a dagger in his other hand. That guy almost passed out due to this.
"What's the highest level of the demonized puppets in the demonized puppets corps?" Zhang Tie asked as he slightly loosened his grip.
"LV 12..."
That guy finally realized that Zhang Tie didn't want to hear anything else from him at all.
"Where's the corps leader?"
"LV 16... LV 16... the corps leader of this demonized puppets corps is... is a LV 16... battle spirit..."
It was not out of Zhang Tie's imagination that the corps leader of the demonized puppets corps was not a knight. As the cannon fodder of demons, it was understandable that the chief of the demonized puppets corps had a relatively low configuration. After all, knights were not cabbages which could be assigned to any troop. Given that it was actually the parent worm of puppet worms that controlled the demonized puppets corps, the chief of the corps leader of the demonized puppets corps was responsible for communicating with the parent worm, it was reasonable for him to have such a configuration.
"Is the corps leader a human or a demon? What's his name?"
"He's a human, called Koz... the eldest son of the head of Senel Clan of Titanic Duchy... This demonized puppets corps is also controlled by Senel Clan..."
"What's the background of Senel Clan of Titanic Duchy?"
"The head of this clan has been the regent of the duchy for successive generations..."
"Is Senel Clan a member of Three-eye Association?"
"Yes..."
"Besides Koz, are there any other members of Senel Clan here?"
"Koz's sons are all here..."
"What's the highest level of his sons?"
"LV 12 too..."
Although oozing cold sweat and bearing great pain, that guy answered very fast as if he was afraid that Zhang Tie would stab him twice more if he hesitated. Zhang Tie's stealthy viciousness made him feel chilly inside...
"Where's the parent worm of puppet worms?"
"Only corps leader Koz knows that!"
"Is that corps leader in the camp of the corps?"
"He has returned to Titanic Duchy through a secret tunnel two days ago..."
Zhang Tie started to think...
"Can... can you stop my bleeding?" that guy begged Zhang Tie as he watched Zhang Tie.
"No need!" After glancing at this guy, Zhang Tie moved his hand and stabbed his saber into this guy's heart.
When Zhang Tie was considering whether to take a look in the camp of the demonized puppets and find a chance to kill the parent worm of puppet worms, a sharp whistle suddenly drifted from afar...
"Someone's running away …" A person shouted at the top of his lungs from afar.
