Chapter 24 The Unexpected Person
Inside the village, all kinds of dead bones were everywhere. These were not just the ones outside, there were many bones on the ground. There were many tooth marks on these bones, all left after being eaten.
Even the skulls left by people were clean, cleaner than those gnawed by ants. The tooth marks went deep into the bones, and many bones were gnawed off, probably entering someone's stomach.
Even the internal organs were not left much, they must have been eaten. There were also many bones that were smashed, and Chi Nan could imagine that this was done by someone who wanted to eat the bone marrow inside. People have become like this, can they still be considered human?
In the middle, there was a big pot still bubbling, and the aroma of meat slowly wafted out. There were many skinny people around, looking at this side with shining eyes, but no one dared to move. Looking at the appearance of these people, they were no different from skeletons, just wrapped in a layer of skin, looking so scary.
The eyes were glowing blue, and the big eyes seemed to be about to bulge out. Rather than saying that these were people, it would be better to say that they were some aliens with big heads in science fiction movies, and even those aliens were better looking than them.
In the back, there were a few people secretly stuffing something into their mouths. Looking closely, this was not food at all, it was just soil on the ground. Not far away was Some of them were lying on the ground, and they were still alive from their breathing. But with their bulging stomachs, Chi Nan could imagine what they had eaten before.
There was a meat rack not far away, yes, a meat rack. Three bloody corpses were hung on it. There was also a wooden platform below, on which there was a broken corpse that had been dismembered.
This scene reminded Chi Nan of the places where pigs were slaughtered and pork was sold when he was a child, except that the pork had become human flesh. Chi Nan took a few deep breaths and tried to calm the anger in his heart.
There was no need to think about what was in the big pot in front. "They, these people have never eaten these things." Chi Nan suddenly asked the injured old robber next to him.
The old robber shook his head, the mission was about to be completed, and the old robber had a dead face at this time: "No, those people think that meat tastes better than bark and grass roots, so they usually feed them with bark and grass roots. The only ones who are qualified to eat meat are us non-human beasts. "The old robber, who had cried until his tears dried, 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 and asked the bald old man and one leg to collect all the dead bodies and throw them into the fire in front of him to burn them into ashes. The things in the big pot were also taken out and burned.
The so-called broth was poured directly into the ground and turned into fertilizer in the greedy eyes of many people.
None of these people said anything. The reason they were greedy was because they were too hungry to bear it. They knew that if they really ate these things, their lives would be over.
Unless they were really hungry and didn't care about anything, no one would take the initiative to die at this time. Their previous conversation made a group of people feel like they were saved, but they didn't know who they were.
But no matter who they were, they would not lack food. "There is indeed normal food. Those are dry food prepared by the robbers themselves. They are prepared to carry them with them when they encounter danger and escape. "
This was not the old robber talking, but a very crisp voice. Looking up, I saw three people coming from nowhere. One of them was wearing armor. The armor looked very dirty, but it was still obvious that it was definitely not an ordinary item. Some places on the surface could emit light when the sun shone on them.
This person looked like a guard, holding the long sword in his hand, looking at Chi Nan and others vigilantly.
Beside the guards were two people who wrapped themselves in black robes, wrapped tightly. The taller one had already lifted his hat, revealing a delicate and haggard face.
A head of long golden hair, slightly reflecting the sunlight, blue The eyes of this person are unusually energetic. Just standing here, this person becomes a beautiful landscape and the focus of everyone.
Chi Nan pays attention not only to the appearance and figure of this person, but also to the temperament of the person. I don't know why, but Chi Nan always feels ashamed in front of this person. It seems that he has suddenly become an insignificant little loser, and even looking at the person in front of him is a blasphemy.
But Chi Nan was determined in his heart, and soon suppressed this feeling, tried to raise his head, and looked straight at the person in front of him, looking at him at eye level. Even if he doesn't have a strong aura like the other party, he must maintain his dignity.
"Who are you? Why are you here? "This is definitely not an ordinary person. The knight next to him gave Chi Nan a sense of danger. The unclear patterns on the knight's armor also showed that this person was not simple.
The bald old man and one leg had come to Chi Nan's side, their eyes fixed on the guard. But the guard knight had been staring at him. In his eyes, Chi Nan was the only threat.
The woman sighed: "It doesn't matter who I am. You just need to know that I will definitely reward you if you save me back."
Chi Nan narrowed his eyes slightly: "If you don't tell me, then I won't take a dangerous person back casually." Although the other party is a beauty, Chi Nan has not reached the point of being desperate for beauty.
The woman had no choice but to say: "Don't worry, I am a noble of the Rusya Empire and will not harm the empire. As long as we reach the Black Stone Fortress, the nobles guarding the city will definitely know. Originally, we just came here to play, but we didn't expect to encounter the invasion of wild orcs, so it turned out like this."
The woman said to herself: "We encountered these robbers before and were trapped by them. My guards couldn't protect us and kill all the robbers, so we could only be trapped here. Speaking of which, I have to thank you."
"Hello, my name is Sophia, nice to meet you, are you also a noble of Rusya?"
Chi Nan hesitated for a while, but still said: "You can call me Chi Nan, my last name is Chi, don't make a mistake. I am not a noble, in the eyes of many people, I should be considered a half-elf."
