Rise of the Plants

Within the village, all kinds of dead bones are everywhere. It's not just the few outside, there are a lot of bones on the ground. There are many teeth marks on these bones, all left after chewing.

Even the skulls left by people are clean, cleaner than those gnawed by ants. The teeth marks penetrated deep into the bones, and many bones were chewed off. I am afraid they have entered some people's stomachs.

Even the internal organs, not much was left, they must have all been eaten. There were many bones that were smashed. Chi Nan could imagine that someone wanted to eat the marrow inside to make them. People have become like this, are they still human?

In the middle, there is a big pot still bubbling, and the aroma of meat slowly wafts out. There are many skinny people around, looking here with shining eyes, but no one dares to move. Look. The appearance of these people is no different from skeletons, but they are wrapped in a layer of skin and look so terrifying.

The eyes were glowing blue, and the big eyes seemed to be about to bulge out. Rather than saying that these are people, they are more like some big-headed aliens in science fiction movies. Even those aliens are better-looking than them.

Behind, there were a few people secretly stuffing something into their mouths. If you look carefully, you will see that there is nothing to eat here. This is simply soil on the ground. Not far away, there were several others lying on the ground, and judging from their breathing, they were still alive. But with that big bulging belly, Chi Nan could imagine what they had eaten before to become like this.

There is also a meat rack not far away, yes, it is a meat rack. Three bloody corpses were hung on it. There was also a wooden platform below, with a mutilated corpse on it, which had been dismembered.

This scene reminded Chi Nan of the places where pigs were killed and sold for pork that he saw when he was a child, except that the pork was turned into human flesh. Chi Nan took a few deep breaths and tried hard to calm down the anger in his heart.

There is no need to think about what is in the big pot in front. "They, these people haven't eaten these things." Chi Nan suddenly asked the injured old bandit next to him.

The old robber shook his head. The task was about to be completed. At this time, the old robber had a dead expression on his face: "No, those people think that meat tastes better than bark and grass roots, so they usually feed them bark and grass roots. Qualified The only ones who eat meat are us non-human beasts." The old robber who had dried up his tears said calmly.

"If that's the case, then they are qualified to survive. Is there anything else to eat here? I'm talking about normal food."

As Chi Nan spoke, he waved his hand to the bald father and One Leg to collect all the dead bodies and throw them into the fire in front of them, burning them to ashes. The contents of the cauldron were also taken out and burned.

The so-called broth, under the greedy eyes of many people, was poured directly into the earth and turned into fertilizer.

None of these people said anything. They were greedy because they were too hungry to stand it. They knew that if they really ate these things, their lives would be over.

Unless they are really hungry and don't care about anything, no one will actively seek death at this time. Their previous conversation made a group of people feel as if they had been saved, but they just didn't know who they were.

But no matter who he is, there will always be food shortage. "There is indeed normal food. Those are dry food prepared by the bandits themselves. This is what they prepare to take with them when they encounter danger and escape."

This was not the old robber talking, but a very clear voice. I looked up and saw three people walking up from nowhere. One of them was actually wearing armor all over his body. This armor looks very dirty, but you can still tell that it is definitely not ordinary. Some places on the surface can even emit bright light when the sun shines on them.

This person was like a guard, holding the long sword in his hand and looking at Chi Nan and others warily.

The guards beside them were two people who wrapped themselves tightly in black robes. The taller one had already lifted his hat, revealing a delicate and haggard face.

She has long golden hair that slightly reflects the sunlight, and her blue eyes are extremely energetic. Just by standing here, this person becomes a beautiful sight and becomes the focus of everyone.

Chi Nan paid more attention not only to the person's appearance and figure, but also to the temperament of the person. For some reason, Chi Nan always felt ashamed of himself in front of this person. It seemed that he had suddenly become a dispensable little loser, even looking at the person in front of him was a kind of blasphemy.

But Chi Nan was certain in his heart, and he quickly suppressed this feeling, raised his head with great effort, and looked directly at the person in front of him, at eye level. Even if the aura is not as strong as the other person's, you still have to maintain your dignity.

"Who are you? Why do you appear here." This is definitely not an ordinary person. The knight next to him gave Chi Nan a sense of danger. The unclear lines on the knight's armor also indicate that this person is not simple.

The bald father and one leg had already arrived at Chi Nan's side, their eyes fixed on the guard. But the guard knight has been staring at him. In his eyes, only Chi Nan is the only threat.

The woman sighed: "It doesn't matter who I am, as long as you know that I will definitely reward you for saving me."

Chi Nan's eyes narrowed slightly: "If you don't tell me, then I will not take a dangerous person back casually." Although the other party is a beauty, Chi Nan has not reached the level of risking everything for the beauty.

The woman had no choice but to say: "Don't worry, I am a noble of the Rusiyala Empire and will not do any harm to the empire. As long as we arrive at the Blackstone Fortress, the nobles guarding the city will definitely know. Originally, we were just here for fun. I didn’t expect to encounter the invasion of wild orcs, so that’s why it turned out like this.”

The woman said to herself: "We encountered these bandits before and were framed by them in a trap. My guards were unable to protect us from killing all the bandits, so we could only be trapped here. I have to thank you all. "

"Hello, my name is Sophira. Nice to meet you. Are you also a noble of Rusiyala?"

Chi Nan hesitated for a moment, then said: "You can call me Chi Nan, my surname is Chi, don't forget. I am not a noble. In the eyes of many people, I should be regarded as a half-elf."
