Chapter 124: Mass Graves
Everyone stared at the corpse in amazement, deducing from Cheng DΓΉ that it had been dead for at least a month, the dim light could not confirm his race, and the middle of the body was torn apart, a powerful and savage force.
"Arena?" Tarrant asked in response to Katrina's words.
Catrina nodded, "Yes! It reminds me of the Colosseum of the barbarians in Comohe. β
Rex walked along the edge of the room's ring, "More than one. β
Below him appeared another corpse, half to be exact, with only the upper limbs, the exposed bones covered in blood, and the neck that connected the head to the body was wrapped in a horrible and rare death.
"They're training beasts?" Kitty guessed.
Tarrant looked at the things sympathetically, "Perhaps, but I've only heard of sucking monsters abusing slaves, and I haven't heard of them having pets." β
Rex continued to walk into the darkness, and Tarrant quickly followed, "Caterina, don't be distracted. β
"Hmm", Katrina stared at the corpse below, slowly following the group.
More corpses were exposed to the firelight, and various forms of death were presented in front of everyone, magic, blunt weapons, and great force, and Cheng DΓΉ was also different, and some of the corpses had become a pile of white bones.
"Psionic monsters are not capable of doing this", Tarrant said in confusion, their physique could not have attacked this effect, "those people are fighting some kind of monster beast, no, they can cast spells, use weapons, they are not facing the same opponent", which proves the role of the room, the arena.
"I don't understand," Katrina grunted, "why do psivacs waste ...... 'food', don't they need this?"
No one answered her. Tarrant also didn't understand, there were a lot of suspicions here, he had never heard of the Psivacuums setting up an arena, there was a possibility here, the allies of the Psivac, this room might serve them, this could be a breakthrough to find those mysterious friends.
A new situation appeared on the corpse below, the corpse had an arrow stuck in its left eye socket, which pierced the skull and shot to death on the wall, the power should come from the magic arrow, although the activity space in the arena is not small, but it is not so easy to calmly pull out the arrow, condense the magic power, and aim at the eyes, the corpse has not begun to decompose, what happened recently.
"Look below", Rex paused, pointing downward, where there was a door, opposite the passage from which he came, wooden, with no lock and no keyhole to be seen.
"From there the people who participated in the battle enter the arena, it must lead to the place where the prisoners are kept," Tarrant said, "we should have an audience here," he looked around, "the standing audience." β
Rex said, "Standing, Spirit Sucking Monster Style." β
Tarrant was stunned for a moment, the style of the spirit sucking monsters, yes, they are always standing, but they don't seem to be the style of the spirit sucking monsters, there are inexplicable doubts hidden in them, he can't explain them.
"It's time to go down and have a look," Rex said, holding on to the edge.
"Wait", Tarrant hurriedly stopped, "if the door below can't ......" the priest has already jumped down...... Open the words, how do we leave. β
Rex fell to the ground, "Here's a torch," he pulled out a torch from the wall, took out the flint and struck it.
When the torch in Rex's hand was lit, a scene appeared that shocked everyone so much that they couldn't speak, the entire arena floor was covered with corpses, maggots crawled on the rotting limbs, the ground was covered with a thick crimson, and several black clawed animals quickly burrowed into the belly of a corpse from the clearing, which was simply a mass grave, challenging anyone's psychological limit.
Katrina clinged to the wall, people living in the top of the society of Siante saw such a scene, it is difficult to say what impact it will have on her psyche, she subconsciously took Tarrant's hand, the whole person stood stiffly, Tarrant blocked in front of her.
"A land polluted by killing and fear," Kitty said with a rare hatred in her eyes, "I felt the anger of the earth. β
"The existence of the spirit sucks monsters is the pollution of the earth", Tarrant indignantly agreed.
Rex used his toes to remove the corpse that was in the way, and walked to the door, although the surface of the wooden door was rough but it was difficult to hide its heaviness, he knocked on the wooden door with his knuckles, and the crunch sound it made proved that it was solid wood, and it was difficult to remove it, Rex grabbed the bar of the wooden door with his right hand and lifted it up, the wooden door did not move.
"Man, if you were to make an arena, you wouldn't make a door out of rotten wood," Tarrant took two steps across, "To prevent the people in the battle from escaping, this door must only be opened from the outside." β
"It will take some effort," Rex pulled out his chainlink and slammed it into the wooden door, which made a dull vibration.
From the dust raised, it was clear that there was a gap in the wooden door, and it should be possible to remove it with a sharp weapon such as an axe, "Katrina, wait here", Tarrant carefully let go of the mage's hand and jumped down.
It was only when he stood under his feet that Tarrant deeply understood what "dancing with death" was, and he almost felt the souls of those people wandering in the air, and the stench of corpses entered his brain, consciousness, and thoughts, justice seemed pale here, and Tarrant's right hand fanned sharply, "The earth has enough reason to be angry." β
The surface of the wooden door was slightly dented under the attack of the chainring, and Tarrant stopped Rex's attack, "with the halberd", he raised the halberd and thrust it into the gap of the wooden door, and red energy balls immediately appeared from the tip of the halberd.
"Damn!" Tarrant remembered when he saw the energy being stimulated, and the rest of the team had forgotten about it as well.
The intense flames were squeezed into the cracks in the wood, and the unwilling pent-up energy roared and tore open the wooden door, bouncing the two people in front of the door open.
When the smoke cleared, Tarrant was stuck in a pile of dead objects, and he frantically pushed them open, leaving only half of the wooden door left, and it hung wobly from the fixed point.
"Rex!" Tarrant picked up the torch on the ground.
"Ahem!" Rex stopped on the other side, with multiple sawdust on his body, and he needed to take care of these wounds.
Kitty jumped from above.
"Tarrant," Katrina was left alone on it, and she carefully looked down, 15 feet was an impassable height, even down.
"It's okay, I'll pick you up", Tarrant tossed the torch to Kitty and walked under the mage and stretched out his hands.
Katrina's toes flexed and retracted at the edge and behind her from time to time, and she hesitated for a moment, crouching down and sitting on the side, her hands gripping the ground tightly as if she were playing in the water by a stream, but her expression was extremely painful.
"I'll hold you, come down," Tarrant raised his hand.
"Alright," Katrina closed her eyes and jumped forward with a lot of courage.
Tarrant held her body steadily, showing a smug smile, "I said I would hold you", he hugged the mage, looked at the mage's face, dust and black oil rubbed on the tip of her nose, a rare downfall, for the beautiful noble lady, will not see this scene in the future.
"What are you laughing at?" Catrina noticed the evil smile hidden in Tarrant's smile and pushed her hands on his chest, "Put me down!"
"Of course, yes!" Tarrant complied, his eyes still fixed on the mage's nose.
"What's up there?!" the mage wiped his nose and stretched out his fist.
Tarrant took a step back, "Nothing." β
"Shhhhhh
