This is not an exaggeration. This is the result of thousands of years of hard work by the Daedalus Family. Moreover, it is called a "maze", so it is naturally complicated. If you are not careful, you may get lost.
Chapter 94: Half-snake heretic!
"Who are you?"
"Ah, enemy attack, enemy attack!"
"Run for your life!"
"Don't kill me, please, don't..."
"what--"
…… …… …… ……
The huge 'artificial maze' suffered a devastating disaster tonight.
As a clan in the darkness, Ikelos actually doesn't have many people. At least in front of Freya's clan, they are simply vulnerable.
Under the massacre of the four Gulliver brothers, everyone was killed wherever they went.
Because this was the order of the goddess, they carried it out absolutely. No matter whether they were men, women, young or old, as long as they encountered it, they would all be dealt with.
The pungent smell of blood gradually filled the 'artificial maze'.
"Huh? This is a warehouse?"
After twisting and turning several times and passing through a corridor, we arrived at a large space.
Inside there are iron cages one after another, and in the cages there are a large number of monsters. Moreover, these monsters are of different shapes, there are monsters on the upper level and there are monsters on the lower level.
Without exception, all of these monsters were extremely listless and curled up in their iron cages.
When they saw Cao Ye, pairs of scarlet eyes looked over, filled with anger, hostility, hatred, etc.
"Master Cao Ye, there are so many monsters here. What do the Ikelos clan want to do by capturing these monsters?"
Chun Ji looked at these monsters and felt very confused. She couldn't understand why so many monsters were captured instead of killed.
"What? Of course, sell Orario and earn a lot of profit."
"Selling monsters?"
"They are not ordinary monsters."
Looking at these monsters locked in iron cages, information about them was awakened in Cao Ye's mind.
These monsters are different from ordinary monsters. They have their own consciousness, and some of them can even speak. They are completely different from those beasts that only know how to kill.
Rational monsters born in dungeons are called "heretics".
The intelligence of heretics varies depending on the situation. High-level heretics have the same intelligence, language and growth abilities as humans and can communicate normally with humans.
Although those with a lower level of understanding can understand the meaning of words, they cannot use human language to communicate with humans. Since they were originally monsters, they can also understand the words of monsters that humans cannot understand.
Although some types of heretics are very similar to humans in appearance, some of their monster features are still significantly different from those of humans and sub-humans, giving them a bit of a "Furien" feel.
Since they are neither pure monsters nor humans, they are alien beings that are hostile to both sides. Since they are attacked by both humans and monsters at the same time, heretics usually live in areas that have not been developed and inhabited by other monsters.
The reason why these heretics were imprisoned here was naturally the work of the Ikelos family.
Because some powerful people in the human world have a hobby of treating it as a high-value forbidden delicacy, and even some heretics like singers and fishmen are liked by some noble lords.
Therefore, outside of Orario, a female heretic can be sold at a sky-high price.
The Ikeros family earned a lot of legal profit by selling heretics.
"Someone of you should be able to talk, heretic!"
Cao Ye walked forward and said this to the heretics locked in iron cages.
This made Chunji very unbelievable. Monsters can talk? How is this possible?
However, before this doubt arose, Chunji's cognition was broken.
"You are different from those humans before you."
A half-snake heretic, his lower body was the body of a giant python with purple stripes, and his upper body was the graceful posture of a woman, except that he had purple scales on his waist, back, arms, and face.
"Oh? How do you know I'm different from them?"
"You can see that the looks you give us are not malicious, not even hostile, but the looks those people give us are full of malice and desire."
“Interesting~”
Human beings are really a very amazing race, with both their upper and lower limits being very terrifying.
Before the time travel, there were also people who were into monster girls and Fury fans, but they were just talking nonsense on the Internet, the XP remarks of Ershiape.
But in this world, having desire for monsters is absolutely a very rare thing.
After all, for thousands of years, humans and monsters have been enemies to the death, and there is a name for this kind of people, that is, "monster lovers".
Once exposed, everyone will definitely hate you.
However, this is only on the surface. There are countless such things happening in the dark where there is no light.
Never underestimate the degree of evil in human beings, especially those wealthy nobles. For the sake of excitement and different experiences, you never know what they will do.
"What's your name?"
"Salad~"
Looking at Cao Ye, the half-snake heretic said this.
After hearing her words, the other heretics around looked at Cao Ye with less murderous intent, but they were still extremely hostile.
Ultimately, to heretics, all humans are the same, just as in the eyes of humans, all monsters need to be killed, not to mention that they have been persecuted by humans.
"Want to survive?"
Cao Ye looked at Sala and said, Half-snake man, this is a monster that only appears in the middle level, and its potential ability is between lv2~lv3.
The strength cannot be considered very strong, but it is definitely not weak. The most important thing is that Cao Ye has a guess.
"what do you want to do?"
Looking at Cao Ye, Sala asked back, and although she knew that Cao Ye had no ill will towards her, she still remained extremely wary. Once bitten by a snake, one becomes afraid of ropes for ten years. This is normal.
"I need you heretics to cooperate with me in an experiment. If it succeeds, they can all be free, but if it fails, you will die. How about it, do you want to try it?"
"What will happen to me if I succeed?"
Sala did not answer Cao Ye, but asked another question.
This made Cao Ye laugh immediately. What an interesting soul, one in a million, who answered questions with questions. Is this really a monster?
Sure enough, Cao Ye began to believe the heretic's speculation to some extent.
"If you succeed, you will be reborn, but, from now on, your life will belong to me."
"If I fail, I will die, but what about them?"
As he spoke, Sala looked at the other heretics around him. As heretics, they would be attacked by their own kind and humans. Apart from being heretics themselves, they had nothing else.
Chapter 95: Black mud + heretic =?
There are quite a few heretics locked up here, and of all types.
There were human-shaped goblins and dog-headed men, as well as animal-shaped unicorn rabbits, silverback apes, giant wild boars, etc., and their eyes were always on Sala and Cao Ye.
"That's not certain. Failure once is not what I want. Maybe I will continue to choose the next 'lucky person'!"
Cao Ye said with a smile, but his words aroused the anger of the heretic.
'Roar--'
“Roar—”
'ah--'
'boom--'
… … … … … …
Some of these heretics roared at Cao Ye, and some kept hitting the iron cage with their claws. It was obvious that Cao Ye's words crossed their red line.
However, Cao Ye simply ignored the anger of these heretics.
He is not the protagonist Bell, and he does not have that much kindness. To Cao Ye, these monsters in front of him are no different from other monsters. After killing them, he can obtain magic stones. As for whether they are intelligent or not, it doesn’t matter at all.
The reason why he proposed this deal to Sala, the half-snake heretic, was because of a guess and curiosity in his heart.
The monsters in the dungeon would immediately collapse once the magic stones came into contact with the black mud, just like two incompatible systems being installed in a computer, causing the computer to crash.
However, these heretics are different from ordinary monsters. Cao Ye is curious whether there will be any differences between them.
Cao Ye was very curious whether it would self-destruct like other monsters once it touched the black mud, or whether some interesting changes would occur.
Staring at Cao Ye, Sala was certain that the human being in front of him, even if he had no ill will towards him or Heretic, was still a different existence from Heretic in his childhood.
Having no ill intentions does not mean having good intentions!
At this moment, Sarah understood this matter.
"So, do you want to take a gamble? Bet on whether you can survive. If you succeed, you can save all your companions."
In Sala's ears, Cao Ye's words sounded like the devil's whispers, making her undecided.
Chun Ji watched all this from the side, looking at Cao Ye in a strange way. It was surprising that Lord Cao Ye, whom she had always regarded as a 'hero', would have such a 'bad taste' side.
However, this did not reduce Cao Ye's points in Chunji's heart. On the contrary, Cao Ye became more three-dimensional in Chunji's heart.
The other person is not a good person, but he saved me from despair and is my hero. However, he treats other people completely differently.
Does this mean that the other person is a hero all by himself?
For a woman, it is natural that she hopes that the man she cares about only cares about her. Even if Chunji has never put herself in the position of a 'partner', she will still have such emotions.
"I promise you!"
After some psychological struggle, Sala looked directly at Cao Ye and made a decision.
What if I succeed? Sacrificing myself can save so many compatriots. It is definitely worth it.
'Roar--'
‘Ouch——’
'boom--'
Upon hearing this, the other heretics immediately started beating the iron cage in fear and roaring continuously.
In Cao Ye's ears, these were all meaningless cries, but in Sala's ears, they were her companions' calls to her, each of which told her to refuse and not to believe the hypocritical and cruel human being in front of her.
In the eyes of heretics, human beings have long been equated with hypocrisy and cruelty.
"You are willing to sacrifice yourself for your companions. I like you a little bit. If you can survive, I think you will become my right-hand man."
"let's start."
Sala didn't hear a word Cao Ye said.
After all, what Cao Ye said was so dangerous, it was really unknown whether he could survive.
Cao Ye also smiled when he heard this and stretched out a hand. The next second, the evil spirit called "all the evil in this world" began to surge.
At this moment, all the roars of the heretics stopped abruptly. They were heretics, wild beasts with intelligence. As wild beasts, they were extremely sensitive to danger.
At this moment, in the eyes of these heretics, Cao Ye has become an "evil god".
'brush--'
The black mud surged instantly and directly submerged the salad. The whole scene looked very strange.
Chun Ji also widened her eyes in disbelief, looking at the black mud, not knowing how to describe it.
"'All the evil in the world', this is what I carry on my shoulders."
"'All the evil in the world'?"
Chun Ji looked at Cao Ye in confusion, she didn't understand what this meant.
"To put it simply, it is the 'sins of the whole world'. Now, I bear them all alone. I am the villain who 'bears' the 'sins', not a hero, Tsubaki-hime."
