Volume 4: It's Dark, Please Close Your Eyes Chapter 80: War, no one is spared
Hua Yingxiu was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook her head: "No, before concocting the Butterfly Zombie Gu, resentment will only make the effect better."
"Zheng Qian, you know what to do, right?" After listening, Tang Zheng nodded and said indifferently.
"I understand, I understand!" With Tang Zheng's order, Zheng Qian's face suddenly showed a cruel and excited smile.
"Human pig, demon pig? What are those things?" Only Tang Xiaotang looked confused.
"Human pig, it's a form of torture used by the demons to treat human warriors." Zheng Qian said with a sneer.
"Zhu means pig. In fact, whether it is the human race or the demon race, most of them despise pigs. Therefore, some demons think that it is too easy to just kill human captives. They turn these human warriors into pigs and let them die in shame, which is the only way to vent their hatred."
"The specific method is to chop off the limbs, dig out the eyes, and inject mercury into the ears to make him lose his hearing and become deaf. Of course, there are also people who use poison to make them deaf."
"Then they would pour mute drugs down their throats, cut off their tongues, and destroy their vocal cords, so that the tortured person would never be able to speak again."
"Then they have to cut off the nose, and finally apply a kind of poison to destroy the hair follicles on the body, so that the hair follicles fall off and no longer grow. Then they pluck out the hairs one by one. Some people find it too tiring and just pluck them all out at once."
"Many demon tribes even use this kind of execution to make bets or games. If the captive dies during the process of making a human pig, or the process fails, the demon tribe that made the process will be despised by others or lose a lot of money and resources."
"Of course, after the human pig is successfully prepared, there is one last step, which is to throw the human pig into the toilet and let it die in the filthiest environment with endless humiliation and pain."
During the time that Zheng Qian served in the army, he experienced life and death, and he had a very good understanding of the various bloody battles and hatreds between the demon race and the human race.
At this time, with a slightly teasing tone, he explained to Xiaotang the extremely cruel method of preparing human pigs one by one. He explained it in great detail, as if he himself had participated in the preparation.
However, although his face and tone seemed somewhat teasing when he was telling the story, everyone could see the indelible hatred burning in his eyes.
Zheng Qian's words made Tang Xiaotang's face change suddenly. Although she has always been a carefree person, she doesn't care too much about killing people or monsters as long as it does not go against her conscience.
However, when she suddenly heard about such cruel torture, she couldn't help feeling nauseous and disgusted.
At this time, deep in the cave, where the Far North Demon Butterflies were imprisoned, the shouting and cursing of those Far North Demon Butterflies stopped abruptly as if the power was unplugged at the same time.
Obviously they had heard what Zheng Qian had just said about the human pigs. These Far North Demon Butterflies had never actually been to the front line, and had only heard of the tortures of the human pigs. How could they know that the tortures were as detailed as Zheng Qian, a veteran soldier.
Zheng Qian's usual loud voice naturally made them hear the whole set of preparation methods of human pigs clearly. They didn't know whether they were shocked or afraid, but they immediately kept quiet, fearing that if they continued to shout and curse, they would anger Zheng Qian, who would immediately rush in and prepare them into demon pigs according to the method.
Moreover, the pain during the preparation process is unbearable just thinking about it. Just from a psychological point of view, it can make them feel extremely terrified. The Far North Demon Butterfly Clan is proud of their noble status and their appearance is also the best among the demon clans. Letting them die in such an ugly way is simply the most terrible torture.
"Haha, Master, Zheng Qian, you are so bad that you actually talked about such horrible torture to scare these stupid butterflies. It really worked. Now they dare not yell or curse anymore. They feel much better now." Tang Xiaotang's ears pricked up and he suddenly covered his mouth and laughed softly, thinking that he had seen through the "sinister" intentions of Tang Zheng and the others.
Hearing Tang Xiaotang's words, Tang Zheng did not answer, but squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Hehe."
Zheng Qian shook his head, glanced at Xiaotang and said, "Xiaotang, why don't you go out and get some fresh air first? The process of making the demon pig is much more noisy than it is now."
When Tang Xiaotang heard this, her eyes widened: "No way, are you guys serious?!"
As Tang Xiaotang spoke, she looked towards Tang Zheng's face, but she didn't see what was going on. Instead, she saw an expression like "I'm just kidding you" or "Haha, are you scared?" on Tang Zheng's face. Only then did she finally confirm that Tang Zheng was really serious this time.
"Look at Wu Yan's injuries, your injuries, Zheng Qian's injuries, and Xiu'er's injuries...you will know that I will not have any mercy on these Arctic demon butterflies . A dragon has a reverse scale, and whoever touches it will die! And you are my reverse scale. Perhaps, this will make you disappointed in having a cruel master like me, but I can only say sorry for this." Tang Zheng gently rubbed Tang Xiaotang's head and said with a smile.
Tang Xiaotang stared at Tang Zheng for a moment, then smiled and said, "No, I'm proud to have such a master."
At this time, Zheng Qianchao and Tang Zheng nodded, and walked towards the depths of the cave with murderous intent to kill the pigs and sheep.
"Zheng Qian, wait!" Tang Xiaotang suddenly spoke.
Zheng Qian was stunned, thinking that Tang Xiaotang still wanted to dissuade him. He immediately looked embarrassed and looked at Tang Zheng.
"I'll go with you. I also want to learn how difficult it is to concoct the torture invented by the demon tribe." Tang Xiaotang clenched her fists and took the initiative to walk towards the depths of the cave step by step. The burning bonfire reflected on her back, gradually becoming dimmer and dimmer, until her figure completely disappeared in the dark cave.
"War always makes people grow up too fast and too suddenly..." Jiang Wuyan, who had been silent all the time, looked at Tang Xiaotang's figure and suddenly sighed.
"That's right, that's why I hate war so much." Tang Zheng nodded, with an unclear expression on his face.
Before long, extremely painful and shrill screams and howls were heard from the depths of the cave, as well as even louder shouts and curses. However, in these shouts and curses, one could already hear a sense of boundless despair and fear.
On this side of the cave, neither Tang Zheng, Jiang Wuyan nor Hua Yingxiu spoke, only the crackling sound of the burning flames.
A silly bandit, an innocent girl, a funny teacher, a noble flower crown, and a gentleman as handsome as jade...
In the face of war and racial hatred, everyone has become a bloody executioner. There is no right or wrong, no choice, and no one can be spared...
In this way, it took Zheng Qian and Tang Xiaotang a whole day and night to walk out from the depths of the cave. They looked exhausted, and their bodies were stained with the blood of countless Arctic demon butterflies. They walked back to the front of the cave silently and sat down in front of Tang Zheng.
"Boss, it's all done." Zheng Qian's voice was a little hoarse.
"Thank you for your hard work. Take a night's rest. We will go back to Tangjiabao early tomorrow morning!" Tang Zheng nodded.
When they heard the words "return to Tangjiabao", everyone's eyes showed a look of relief.
After so many days of hunting, fighting, and killing, their nerves were stretched to the point of breaking when they woke up every day. Even people as strong-willed as Tang Zheng and his companions couldn't help but feel deeply exhausted from the bottom of their hearts after experiencing such a long period of high-intensity and high-risk days.
What's more, in the battle in the valley, except for Tang Zheng, almost everyone fought until they ran out of ammunition and food and were seriously injured. Jiang Wuyan's combat power has recovered less than 20% so far. It is not a wise choice to continue staying in the demon territory full of dangers.
Two four-star high-level, four four-star peak, and one five-star mid-level elites of the Far North Demon Butterfly Clan, and even high-level officials, suddenly disappeared, without a trace of either the monsters or their bodies. This kind of drastic change has never happened to this branch of the Far North Demon Butterfly Clan since they occupied this territory, and once the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar.
The entire territory of the Far North Demon Butterfly was in an uproar.
Not only the entire tribe of the Far North Demon Butterfly was mobilized, but even the nearby vassal demon tribes like the One-eyed Vermilion Bird, who only followed the lead of the Far North Demon Butterfly, as well as the lower-level demon tribes, were all implicated. Every day, they conducted a carpet search centered on the valley where the violent star power fluctuations were transmitted that day, wishing to find Tang Zheng and his companions immediately, eat their flesh, and sleep on their skins.
Fortunately, before Tang Zheng came to the demon tribe, he had already made careful preparations and plans. In front of the cave where they lived, he set up various bewitching arrays and illusion arrays. The cave he chose to hide in was also extremely concealed and was not discovered by the demon tribe for a while.
However, considering the intensity of the search in the Far North Demon Butterfly Territory, where panic-stricken people are everywhere, it is probably only a matter of time before Tang Zheng and his companions are found.
The return journey is imminent and cannot be delayed any longer.
However, how to successfully escape from danger under such high-intensity searching and hunting, and return to Tangjiabao with so many demon pig trophies, has become the most critical problem that Tang Zheng and his companions must solve now.
Fight head-on and fight your way out?
This approach is definitely the most imaginative and exciting decision, but the ending is also definitely the most unimaginative. Apart from being heroic, it is only tragic.
Hide your tracks and sneak out?
This approach seems to be the wisest one, but among the group of people, except Tang Zheng who has a sufficient stealth skill level, the others will probably be exposed in minutes if they encounter a monster above four stars.
Then, the stealth mode failed and it automatically entered the hard mode. And then, nothing happened...
There were several people in the group. During the day, Tang Zheng went out to explore the situation. At night, everyone sat around the fire and brainstormed. After two consecutive days, they could not think of a way to escape perfectly when the monsters were searching all over the mountains.
"No, if we can't think of a solution tomorrow, we must at least move first. According to the current search situation of the demon tribe, this cave will be exposed no later than tomorrow night." Tang Zheng pinched his forehead and said a little depressed.
