Chapter 26: Dignity
Able to speak!
Bai Che had seen many gargoyles as well, and there were still more than a dozen gargoyle corpses in their storage room.
But it was the first time I had seen a gargoyle who could speak people, which deeply shocked everyone's hearts.
In the metal fortress, everyone first saw this gargoyle descending the stairs, silver wrapped around its feet, making it look extraordinary.
The crowd gradually saw its whole body, with two huge double horns on the top of its head like bulls, and its whole body was dark red, and all of it was covered by silver cuticles in some key parts.
The forearm of the right hand is particularly strange, and it seems to be wrapped in a stone tablet under the skin.
"Excuse me, are you waiting for me?" Such a rugged gargoyle voice was unexpectedly magnetic.
Although it spoke like a human, Bai Che and the others did not dare to be the first to communicate with it, and they all looked at it vigilantly.
"Huh? Don't you think that's very rude? ”
The red gargoyle suddenly attacked, opening its mouth and spitting out a cloud of flames that sprayed in front of the metal fortress where Bai Che and the others were.
Although there was no direct contact, everyone could still feel a wave of heat coming from the surface.
I have also met two or three gargoyles who can use such abilities, but which one is not used at a critical moment, and how can they directly come up and "say hello" with their abilities.
Bai Che soon realized that this gargoyle was different.
"Why are you here?" A man beside Bai Che asked in a trembling voice.
The gargoyle was surprised that someone was talking to him, and decided to answer him: "Well, well, of course, I'm here for dinner." ”
After hearing this, everyone held the weapons in their hands tighter, and they could hear the sound of several people swallowing saliva.
"Hey, hey, don't be so nervous, I'm not the same as my kind," the gargoyle laughed, "Introduce yourself, my name is Prison Lord." ”
Listening to the gargoyle's words, everyone was stunned, suspecting that there was something wrong with their ears.
But several people felt a sense of relief in their hearts, thinking that this gargoylee could at least communicate, and only Bai Che became more and more dignified, the more special, and he felt that this gargoyle was more powerful.
The Prison Lord spoke again: "I only want to eat ten people, you should be able to do it, right?" I'll leave here as soon as I'm done. ”
The few people who had just breathed a sigh of relief immediately became nervous again.
"Stop dreaming, it can't be!"
A teenager who looked to be in his early twenties shouted at the Prison Lord.
But the Prison Lord was not annoyed, but retreated to the back steps and sat down, to show that he really had no idea about them.
It sat down and said, "Think about it, I'm only ten people." ”
A flame erupted from his fingertips, and then quickly disappeared, and Bai Che and the others looked at the prison lord, and the eyes seemed to say:
See, if I want to kill you, I don't have to go through this trouble.
However, the Prison Lord is not so friendly, he just has a higher "aesthetic" than ordinary gargoyles.
It was tired of mere killing, but not long ago it found a new pleasure: watching its prey fight each other.
When it looks at its prey, which is unanimous with the outside world, it is very comforted to see its prey fall into internal strife.
Or the teenager:
"Don't even think about it, the leader won't give up on any of his companions!"
Bai Che was ashamed to hear the young man praise him, it was not that he had not considered what the gargoyle had said.
It's just that all things considered, this idea is excluded.
Seeing that Bai Che was about to speak, the Prison Lord seemed to anticipate what he was going to say, and preemptively said, "I can only have five people." It sounded like a great concession.
There were five fewer people all of a sudden, and to be honest, the few people present were a little moved in their hearts.
There are more than a dozen old people in the camp, they can't fight, they can't do the work, they can't increase their rations, and the people in the camp have long been dissatisfied, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to take out five old people to prevaricate this gargoyle?
But this matter still depends on the leader to decide, and everyone looks at Bai Che.
To be honest, the prison lord's conditions made him both resist and be moved.
Regardless of whether this gargoyle named Prison Lord is a man of his word, if he can exchange five people for the safety of the entire camp, there is no doubt that it is the right choice.
Since he founded the group, his intention has been to shelter those who have fled.
Do you really want to go against your own principles?
But if you choose to fight hard, such a gargoyle that can speak people, breathe flames from its mouth, and have a sturdy body, I don't know how many people will die.
And the prison lord also saw through Bai Che's concerns, the corners of his mouth rose, revealing his white fangs, and said, "Five people are really very few." If you want to resist, I'll kill you all. ”
With that, the prison lord moved his body, and the two horns above his head turned into two flames, and his dark red body also turned bright red.
Even though Bai Che and the others were dozens of meters away, they could feel the heat emanating from it.
Damn, why such monsters!
At the same time as the coercion of force, the prison lord once again lowered his conditions:
"Forget it, I just want to be alone, it's okay."
This time it really broke through the bottom line of everyone's hearts, even if this monster didn't believe it, but why not give it a try?
Bai Che wanted to agree, but was preempted by the prison lord again.
"Alone, but I want him." It pointed to the boy who had just shouted at him.
"Why, don't you just need food?"
The people who can defend against gargoyles here with Bai Che have followed him from birth to death several times, which can be said to be a close friend, so Bai Che subconsciously wants to refuse the prison lord.
"There's no why, I just want him."
The Warlord looked at Bai Che with a playful expression, and it had been leading them by the nose from the beginning.
Judging from Bai Che's reaction just now, it already sensed that its favorite plot was coming.
Sure enough, the young man turned his head to look at Bai Che, expecting him to make a decision to protect himself.
Bai Che and Bai Leshan looked at each other for a long time, and in the end, Bai Che lowered his head first.
"I'm sorry, Leshan."
"Why, aren't we brothers?" Bai Leshan questioned him loudly.
Bai Leshan understood that he couldn't wait for death here, but there was a gargoyle in front of him, so he could only run backwards.
"Catch him!" Bai Che shouted to a few people around him.
The room on the ground was not big, so Bai Leshan quickly ran to the back room and couldn't see it.
"Don't chase it yet!" Bai Che commanded again.
Abandon your dignity as a human being and sacrifice your fellow human beings to a different race to enrich yourself.
I can't just stop here, today's sacrifice is all worth it, Bai Che comforted himself.
Turning, he looked at the Prison Lord, who looked at him with interest.
"Will you leave if I hand him over to you?"
"Of course."
"Why should we believe you?"
"Do you have a choice?"
"Cut!"
