The monsters dragged a pile of corpses and a living Xuanzang to a cave many times larger than just now, with torches inserted in the grooves of the four walls, reflecting swaying shadows, like ghosts.

About twenty to thirty lizardmen stood in two columns on either side, and in the middle of a raised platform was placed a large stone chair, decorated with many skeletons. The edges of the platform are also covered with ribs and carved into a rugged shape.

A fierce lizard demon sat on a stone chair, more than twice as large as the others, with golden eyes, metallic scales, and long claws that were also golden. It was covered in knotted muscles, with pure black bone spurs growing on the joints of its hands and feet, and on its lower back, and it was covered in heavy bone armor with red runes painted on it. The thick tail wraps around the front of the body, and the end is as sharp as a spear. A dragon-shaped metal helmet is worn on the head, showing majesty.

"King, King, this is the result of today's hunt." The monsters snapped on one knee and chanted in unison.

The lizard leader leapt down from the high platform and paced around the pile of people in the center of the ground, dagger-like claws tapping against the ground, reminding Xuanzang of some kind of giant reptile from ancient times.

He had been observing these creatures since he woke up, and he hadn't stopped thinking for a second. He was seriously injured, there was no weapon and no strong **, the rosary was left in Liu Hong's car, and the only FTB that could save him could not be contacted.

It's not the worst-case scenario, what should be the breakthrough point......

These youkai are obviously rational and can communicate, which is a great luck, and it is better than being caught by a pack of beasts. If you can hit the nail on the head and say exactly what they care about, you might be able to get a glimmer of life.

Since the past century, less than a thousand years have passed, and the evolution of living things will not be so fast. Even if this lizard demon is really naturally mutated, the characteristics of walking upright and speaking are not helpful for the survival of this period, especially walking upright, which obviously belongs to the point of evolution tree, and will definitely be eliminated by this kind of reptilian.

It is almost certain that they are man-made.

The lizard leader kicked the corpse with his foot, sniffed it once in a while, scratched it with his paws to check the flesh, and then ordered, "This one has a bit of fat, it's easy to chew, and it can be fed to the young." This one is too thin, gnaw firewood, you divide it. The rest of the dead are to be roasted and brought to me. As for the living, it was taken as usual to grow meat. ”

"Yes, my lord. Little ones, let's get to work! The leading youkai shouted.

Xuanzang didn't say anything just now, for fear of bumping into this monitor lizard, but now he hurriedly seized the opportunity and shouted: "Everyone! Actually, you are all human beings, so why bother killing each other? ”

The monsters burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, human? Are you blind? How can we be lowly human beings! ”

"It's ridiculous, this lean monkey doesn't have a few taels of meat, and he claims to be of the same clan as me."

"Cannibalism? They kill and kill themselves, and we don't eat the flesh of our own people. ”

The lizard leader glanced at him contemptuously, and without speaking, jumped back to the high platform and sat down on a stone chair full of bone marrow.

Xuanzang was lifted from behind by a lizard demon and dragged out of the hall. He frowned, desperately searching for the detail he wanted from the vast palace of memories that had accumulated over the years.

It's not enough, this sentence is not enough. Ordinary people can say this kind of thing when they see them and act like people, and they must be commonplace. But there's nothing wrong with them being mutated from people, as long as you go one step further and hit the real pain point......

Virus...... Human Experiments...... Which time, which codename...... Come to remember, think up!

"Hey, you must be victims of the Immortal Type 2 virus, right? Let go of me, I know how to recover! Xuanzang shouted when he was about to be dragged to the entrance of the cave.

The monsters didn't react, just a few of them were talking to each other.

"What is he talking about, what virus?"

"I don't know, people say crazy things before they die."

Xuanzang deliberately looked at the leader on the high platform, and said, "King, believe me, what I said is true." The leader's golden eyes were like snakes, giving him an instinctive sense of fear, but he forced himself not to blink and dodge, but to look in that direction.

However, the other party just stretched out his long tongue and shook it, but didn't say anything.

After being interrupted briefly, the monster holding Xuanzang was a little unhappy, and clamped him harder, and its claws cut several wounds on his arms.

"Wait!"

On the high platform, an old lizard hidden in the shadows, with a cane made of a backbone, came out and whispered a few words to the leader. The leader lifted the corner of his eye and turned his head to look at it. The old lizard nodded solemnly, so the leader waved his hand, and the old lizard hunched back down the high platform and walked towards Xuanzang.

The little demon who grabbed Xuanzang said respectfully: "Master Mage." ”

"Continue to escort him to the meat room, and I'll take care of it myself."

"Yes."

Was this a success? Xuanzang thought worriedly, why do you have to send it to make that "seed meat"...... But looking at it like this, it seems to be saying something.

Passing through a long and narrow passage, a damp and fishy wind blows in the face, which is disgusting. Xuanzang was escorted into this slightly smaller cave, stumbling, and almost fell into the big pit in front. A rough, shriveled hand steadied him, it was the old lizard demon. "You stand down first." It said to the little goblin.

When they were the only ones left, the old lizard asked, "Who are you, and how do you know about the virus?" ”

Xuanzang was overjoyed, and he saw that he had hit! He replied, "I can't say who I am, but I do know the way to restore you to being human." ”

"It's better to be honest." The old lizard suddenly pushed, almost pushing him down the big pit, making Xuanzang, who had just relaxed, break out in a cold sweat, it pulled the inclined Xuanzang, and said coldly, "I heard the old demons say that the appearance of immortals, you are definitely not an immortal." Say, where did you eavesdrop on the heavenly machine? Otherwise, you'll become a member of those crops below. ”

Crops?

Xuanzang looked into the pit, this cave had no torches, and there was no kind of fluorescent paint, so he could only rely on the faint light from the passage behind him, barely seeing. When he finally saw the scene below, he felt a chill, Rao had several lifetimes of experience, and he couldn't help but have weak legs and churning stomach, if it wasn't for the old lizard pulling him back, he would definitely fall.

Be one of them...... Xuanzang trembled when he thought of this result.

The pit was full of people, or what could barely be called human. All of them are unconsciously stacked in a grid, occasionally twitching to prove that they are still alive. To still be alive in that state is simply worse than death.

They are covered with superfluous things. Hands, or feet, or even tails. The bowl-sized wounds showed that the extra limbs on their bodies had been cut off. In the dim corners, there are still some that can barely be seen in their original shapes, only a dark red mass, but still alive...... Human body.

This is what the old lizard called "crops", and he suddenly understood the meaning of "growing meat".

"See? You can see that you're a clever person, so you know what to do now. A hoarse voice sounded behind him.

Xuanzang turned his head, didn't dare to look at the picture in the pit anymore, considered the words, and said, "I can't let the people in the underworld know, you should understand this, mage." ”

The old lizard stared at him, was silent for a long time, and finally let go of his hand, signaled Xuanzang to retreat to a safe area, and said, "Don't worry, our souls can't read it anymore." The people of the underworld will directly recognize our people as animals, and will not die, so they will not be checked for the memory of a lifetime. You can tell your secrets. I hope you don't deceive me, it won't do you any good to lie to me at this time. ”

Xuanzang nodded and replied: "I used to be a member of the gods and Buddhas, and this appearance is caused by reincarnation. I have a certain understanding of the experiment of the Changsheng type 2 virus, which is the result of the research led by the Jade Halal King, and the experiment is carried out directly on mortals. The virus causes mutations in regenerative ability, but it is extremely unstable, and the appearance of the mage clan should be one of the side effects. ”

The old lizard shook his head and said, "You're wrong. ”

"Wrong?" Xuanzang was surprised.

"It's not Changsheng Type 2, it's Changsheng Type 3 I variant, which is contagious."

"What!" Xuanzang couldn't help but snort.
