Section 58 Torture
There were captured humanoids, all of whom were bound to several thick wooden stakes that were stuck in the outer base of rattan ropes as thick as arm's thick. The hands, feet, neck, and all parts of the body that could move freely were repeatedly wound and tied with rattan ropes according to Tianxiang's orders. That kind of tight tying method can only be compared to a food called "brown seed" in ancient times!
Five humanoids, no, four and a half to be exact. Because the thigh was hit by a crossbow arrow, and the head was still strong enough to eat Tianxiang's stick, the injured leg had already been cut off by Qi Gen, there was no way, the crossbow arrow body was too deep into the ground, and it took a lot of time to take it out smoothly. If you want to tie up a humanoid before it is fully conscious, this cruel and simple method can only be used. Of course, while Tianxiang also cut off his thigh, he did not forget to smear a handful of wet and smelly black mud on the wound. Doing so can stop the bleeding to some extent.
Humanoids are obviously much more physically powerful than bugs. Even the anesthetic herb that Xiaoqing had been asleep for two days after inhaling it only had half the effect on them. In less than a day, the terrifying-sounding howl once again echoed over the base. Tianxiang had been trying to communicate with humanoids in both verbal and mental ways, but to his disappointment, the humanoids seemed to be unable to grasp the meaning, and the response of human language to them was nothing more than a roar. As for brain communication, it seems to be able to make it understand some of its own intentions. But the reaction is still just the usual resentment, madness, and anger of humans. If it had been before, Tianxiang would definitely have cut off the heads of these strange creatures without hesitation. After all, although they understood a certain meaning of their own thoughts, they did not give any reply at all. The only way to deal with such a recalcitrant person is to kill them directly.
However, after successfully taming Xiaoqing, Tianxiang began to discover that the "Guide to Taming Animals", which is said to be the exclusive use of the ancient circus, has a hidden meaning that only those who have actually implemented it can understand. After all, how to tame a terrifying beast, the ancients had a whole set of systematic methods hundreds of years ago. Hunger is still the first step to be implemented first.
Extreme hunger can drive sane humans insane. In the same way, it will cause the ferocious beast to lose its inherent logic. Hungry humans will swallow everything around them that seems to be edible. Tree bark, grass roots, and even dirt.
Although, these things are not edible. The Beast is no exception. It is in their nature to feed on meat. But under the terrible torment of hunger, a tiger that eats fresh meat. It is difficult to say that it will also feed on yellowish licorice.
Although, when they chew it, the grass is really hard to swallow.
What about humanoids? Will there be the same move? Tianxiang is not clear about this. He needs to do experiments, live starvation experiments. A few days passed, and the humanoids didn't seem to feel the threat of starvation. They are still howling. Angry staring at every hunter guarding them. "These guys are probably not the same as our food joke standards. Don't worry, just double-check that the rope is strong. If one day is not enough, two days is not enough, three days, and I want to see if they can really starve for a whole year! ”
This was what Earth Tianxiang said to the people in charge of guarding them with a full burp after eating and drinking, and at that moment, he noticed. One of them, who was obviously smaller, seemed to be quite concerned about the smell of cooked meat coming out of his mouth. It breathed hard the smell of flesh wafting from afar, and the saliva that flowed from its mouth had completely soaked its hair-covered chin...... Two days later, the humanoids tied to the stake had completely lost their original vitality. Even though there was still that bitter hatred and hatred in the eyes that looked at the hunter. However, the shrewdness and ferocity inherent in his eyes are gone. Yes, it's just the weakness and powerlessness that comes from starvation.
As before, the humanoids still didn't have any intention of making contact with Tianxiang. Although they are hungry. Hungry, as soon as he saw the meat in the mouths of the guards, he would involuntarily have an inexplicable urge and useless struggle. For several days, Tianxiang has been using fifteen as a lure and a thought to inquire about each captured humanoid. But the results always disappointed him. The humanoids were apparently able to understand what he meant. However, they completely refuse to communicate with him.
After disappointment, there are generally two emotions: pessimism and anger. Tianxiang clearly falls into the latter category.
"Since you want to carry it hard, no problem, I can meet all your requirements. I forgot to tell you that death is a very simple thing. It's just that there are many ways to die. As for your companion who was shot to death, what will happen to him will be the happiest and easiest way to die of all of you. ”
This is Tianxiang's clear ultimatum to the people. It is also mentioned in the "Guide to Taming Beasts", the kind of treatment that is specific to the irascible and difficult to tame beasts. The first target chosen is the tallest and strongest of all humanoids. It looks like it's supposed to be the leader of this group of humans. The hunters carefully removed it from the stake and, with the help of several stiff steel hooks, fastened the terrifying creature, which now only made a weak howl, to a rather sloping "wooden bed".
As for the fixing method, it adopts a mixture of bundling and nailing. Several thick iron nails were driven down from the bindings of the humanoids' hands and feet, all the way through the solid wooden bed.
All of this in front of other humanoids tied to stakes." Cut off its flesh. Cut piece by piece, so that it can feel the pain caused by the sharp knife at all times, and at the same time, it cannot let people die in the shortest possible time. "This is Tianxiang's order.
The swordsman is Warwind, a dagger made of steel and sharpened on rough stone. became the author of this brutal bloodshed. The first place to be cut is the human-like left leg. Warwind carefully started at the root closest to the humanoid's body, drawing a thin slit that had just penetrated its fur, and then extending the blade all the way down to the tip of the claw at the ankle. Then, with great force but extremely carefully, he pulled the epidermis on both sides and tore it with force. Combined with the cutting of the dagger, the white membrane that adheres together between the humanoid skin and muscles is slowly cut. With a sharp knife opening the flesh, the characteristic "squeak" sound completely peeled off all the fur covering the humanoid's left leg. The humanoid leather is good, and Tianxiang once tried on shoes made of humanoid leather. It's soft and warm. Walking on the ground, there is a feeling of lightness and comfort.
Since you want it to die. Then skin them before they die. It's painful, but it's definitely not fatal. Peeling the skin slowly and partially can achieve this effect. The humanoid tied to the big bed had already fainted from pain, and no matter how strong the humanoid was, he couldn't resist the tooth pain that came from the surface of his body. Although Zhan Feng did not cut off a piece of flesh from his body, the violent stimulation from the subcutaneous nerve tissue was enough to make the humanoid brain react to it most strongly, especially the shocking feeling of seeing his own body being slowly skinned without being able to prevent it, which was simply the most terrifying and terrifying memory.
"Wake him up, don't put him to sleep. I want him to stay awake all the time. Tianxiang said to the clansmen standing aside. The stimulation of a bucket of cold water made Tianxiang's request satisfied. "Go on, don't stop."
Zhan Feng, who had received an affirmative order, once again waved the dagger in his hand. The edge of the knife slowly slices across the surface of the humanoid pink muscle. Take away slices of finger-sized pieces of meat. His movements were slow, and the Blade muscles were in contact for a considerable amount of time. A knife often has to be slashed several times in a row. in order to cut off a small piece of ground meat from the muscles that are connected together. This is done in order to inflict greater and more physical suffering on the victim. Despite this, two hours later, small pieces of flesh cut off by the dagger also fell all over the ground. From the ankle to the knee of the humanoid, only one strip remained, and some of the dry humans were howling. A painful and slow punishment. Not at all the great torture it can endure. Tianxiang's thoughts observed that the humanoid was very angry and sad, and at the same time there was a faint and nonchalant remorse. This kind of thought is the latest emotion that I have never sensed when I have been in contact with them before.
The onlookers were already angry. They howled and roared, expressing their heart's desires in a voice that had never been louder than ever. It's just that all of this can't hide another emotion hidden under anger. Fear, they're in fear. Although such emotions are very small, they are so small that it is almost difficult for Tianxiang to grasp his thoughts. However, it does exist.
"War Wind, keep moving. Change to another leg!" Tianxiang ordered with some displeasure, he had just sent another inquiry to all the humans. As in the original, the same was rejected in the most outright way. The ash produced after the burning of wood is the best medicine to stop bleeding. If you want to be humanoid and immortal, you must first stop the wounds that are bleeding a lot of blood. It's just that Tianxiang doesn't plan to "treat" it like this. He wanted this stubborn humanoid to taste even more miserable pain.
A clay pot covered with ashes was brought up. It's the same ashes, but it's clearly different. Unlike the ashes, which are grayish and white when cooled, the ashes contained in clay pots show a bright bright red color.
It's a basin of ashes that is about to burn out, but it's not completely burning. Tianxiang made another inquiry, and after receiving the expected refusal, he grabbed the shovel at hand, filled it with a whole shovel of hot ashes, and poured it directly on the surface of the human's bare wound. In a terrible scream and violent trembling, a fragrant taste of fresh meat that had just been scalded suddenly filled the air.
"If you don't speak, you'll die. I will let you die slowly, I will cut off every piece of flesh from your body, break your bones, and suck the marrow inside. Finally, leave your internal organs and head necessary to keep you alive. Of course. At that point, you'll be no different from dying. "The brutal torture lasted all day. By night, half of the tortured humanoid's legs were gone. The muscles below the knee are completely cut off. The slumping claws of the feet and the intact upper limbs are a stark contrast of horror. Tianxiang was satisfied to find that all the onlookers were humanoids. After the anger, there is a deep sadness. This is also a situation that has never occurred in the previous thinking exploration. "As long as this continues, I believe that there will be at least one breakthrough in the middle of them." Tianxiang stuffed a piece of roasted insect meat into the hand of Zhan Feng, who had washed away the blood, and said in an unquestionable tone, "They are very ferocious, but they are still animals. As long as they have a mind, they must be afraid that they may be treated in the same way. Until then, though, at least keep them alive. “
Several bowls of rich broth, held in an open-ended iron bucket, poured into the gaping mouths of the humanoids. Severe pain can drain a lot of physical energy. After starving for a few days, if they don't eat again, they may not be able to withstand the huge physical exertion. Before it is completely played to death. Must survive.
The next day, the cruel and painful game was played out again.
Unlike yesterday, the lower part of Zhan Feng's knife today has been replaced with a humanoid body. After completely peeling off the fur from the chest down, he began to follow the chest and abdomen, one by one small pieces of muscle. It's just that the item that stops the bleeding is not the hot ashes of yesterday. Instead, it was replaced with the same substance after cooling. Care must be taken where the internal organs are located. Tianxiang didn't want to die of the best demonstrators and toys in his hands because of excessive pain.
It is precisely because of this that the living people can also watch the exquisite sword skills of the war wind, and the scene that they will never forget.
The bones underneath the muscles form a thoracic cage that contains a series of soft internal organs. Damaging any of these things would kill a humanoid instantly. And yet it didn't. The cut muscle mass is just the right amount of thin. The strength of the sword is also very particular, and there should be three points and will never cut out four points. Despite the intense pain, the humanoid body trembled. But it did not affect the judgment of the operator in the slightest.
At night, only a layer of thinned muscles was left on the tortured humanoids, so transparent that even the internal organs that were wrapped in them and kept shaking could be seen. The onlookers, on the other hand, showed an unprecedented impulse and horror.
It can be seen that although they are cold-blooded, they do not take human life seriously. But they are still afraid, afraid that they will be subjected to the most terrible, terrible punishment.
However, they still refuse to communicate with Tianxiang. Therefore, the work of the wind of war is still not over. On the third day, Warwind carefully and painstakingly knocked several thick ribs from the chest of the tortured man. The majestic and well-developed reproductive organs of the humanoid were also cut off.
On the fourth day, the operation spread to the humanoid head, and all the cumbersome muscles that did not hinder life were cut off. All the muscles that enclose the humanoid eyeball are slowly separated. Only a few thick nerves and ligaments are connected to it. As for the two round spheres, they have become a completely useless ornament, hanging diagonally from the bridge of the nose, which has lost the support of cartilage.
Despite this, the dying humanoid still did not die. It's still wheezing.
Only, it didn't survive the fourth night.
"Take those disgusting things off and throw them to Xiaoqing." Tianxiang ordered his clansmen to clean the stakes used for punishment, and then tied up a humanoid captive again. The pieces of meat that had been cut up before were fed to the insects. It can be seen that Xiaoqing likes these fresh blood foods very much. The humanoid that was tied up was an animal with a wolf-shaped head. It didn't take any effort on his part to detect exactly the unconcealable fear and panic in his heart. It may even make the most drastic moves to resist the hunters as they untie it from the stake and transfer it to the wooden bed.
But, as with all humanoids. It likewise refuses to communicate with Tianxiang.
Of course, it didn't suffer the same fate as its predecessors. Flying insects are probably one of the most disgusting insects in the world. They suck blood, suck the blood of any animal. As long as you are targeted by it, it will either die, or you will wait for the tragic fate of being sucked out of all the blood in your body.
Like the humanoids before them, the current torturers have been stripped of their skins without threatening their lives in the slightest. The red muscles exposed in the air all show the strength and courage of the humanoids. In particular, the bulging parts of the body unmistakably show the absolute power it once possessed. Physical strength and blood are directly proportional to the existence of a being. It is also an absolute symbol of life.
