Chapter 458 Do you want to become a monster like me?
A moment later, Agatha and Sanlo were led to the entrance of an underground passage.
"Is he locked up in there?" Agatha frowned as she looked at the dark and gloomy basement.
“Yes,” a Blood Cave City servant replied, “The city lord is waiting for you two. This way, please.”
“Let’s go.” Sangluo nodded and followed.
Agatha could only roll her eyes and quickly follow.
After the group passed through a series of tunnels, they...
What you see are rows of dark dungeons, where countless children are imprisoned.
All the children, most of them no more than ten years old, were gripping the iron bars tightly with both hands.
But they didn't shout; they just stared intently at Agatha and Sanlo as they passed by.
Although Agatha was already a peak sixth-tier powerhouse.
However, when she saw the children's eyes, she felt a chill run down her spine for no apparent reason.
Those eyes held no trace of youthful vigor, only endless hatred.
"You two have arrived." At that moment, a calm voice rang out.
Both Agatha and her companion saw a group of people at the end of the passage.
The leader was tall, with blood-red hair and beard, and a dignified expression.
A group of people were standing guard around him.
The person furthest to the side is the one-eyed giant who led the massacre of the Qiandai tribe.
“Lord of Blood Cave City!” Agatha and Sanlo had never met the Lord of Blood Cave City before, but seeing everyone's respectful attitude towards Bloodbeard, they immediately guessed his identity.
The Blood Cave City Lord nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Hmm, what do you think of these goods?"
"Hmm, how much is there in total?" Sang Luo nodded and asked in a deep voice, "What does the Blood Cave City Lord want to trade?"
Many people believe that...
The Blood Cavern City is capturing large numbers of children to conduct some kind of heinous experiments.
Actually, the truth is not like that at all.
It's not that Blood Cave City didn't want to do this; it's that they simply didn't have the means.
Blood Cave City has always captured children simply to make deals with Mechanical City.
The Blood Cave Lord glanced at his subordinates and said coldly, "Tell them."
"Yes, Lord City Lord!" The subordinate immediately bowed and replied, "A total of 212 were captured, most of them over ten years old! Among them, there were 146 boys and 66 girls, all of whom were new."
The one-eyed giant and the others standing nearby looked smug upon hearing these reports.
These seem to be things worth showing off.
After all, according to the rules, the team that captures more children will acquire more weapons after the transaction, and will naturally be stronger.
Only Agatha frowned, her face looking somewhat grim, but she remained silent.
The Blood Cave City Lord nodded, then looked at Sangluo and said, "According to the previous rules, I want to trade 212 weapons of the No. 3 sequence for these 212 people."
The main business of the Mechanical City is to manufacture various powerful mechanisms.
Moreover, it is different from the former Divine Weapon City.
The Mechanical City can combine divine weapons with mechanical devices.
It not only possesses the powerful attack capabilities of a divine weapon, but also has far more functions than a divine weapon!
The city of mechanical weapons has many types, ranging from number 1 to number 5, each with varying power.
Weapon No. 3 is a crossbow, a weapon capable of killing a Tier 3 powerhouse.
"no!"
Sangluo resolutely shook his head in refusal, and said in a deep voice:
“In the past, we could have considered it. But now, with the impending catastrophe of the century looming, the demand for weapons in my Mechanized City is also enormous. If we want to trade for the No. 3 weapon, 212 people can only get us 106 pieces!”
"106 pieces? That's too few!"
Upon hearing this number, the Blood Cave Lord frowned.
Just as Sanluo said, a century-long catastrophe is about to come!
Therefore,
In the past, Blood Cave City would only capture a batch of children every ten years and trade them with Mechanical City.
But now, less than five years later, the Lord of Blood Cave City has once again rounded up a large number of children.
Their purpose was to acquire enough weapons to arm Blood Cave City.
“This number is far from enough!” Sangluo retorted without backing down. His eyes flashed as he said, “If you want third-order weapons, you need enough children! At least a thousand!”
"Captain! You..." Agatha's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
The fact that Blood Cave City has captured so many children suggests that it has likely already slaughtered countless people.
Now, the captain is saying he wants a thousand people. Is he trying to commit more inhumane massacres?
"Shut up!"
Sanluo turned to stare at Agatha, a crimson light flashing in his left eye, which was covered by a black cloth. He said coldly, "You want to become a monster like me? Then don't be foolish again! Otherwise, no one will be able to save you next time!"
The city of the mechanical city is ruled by an elder council composed of a group of old men.
Before leaving the city, those old guys assigned me two tasks.
The first task is to hunt down the Qiu and Dongdong sisters and retrieve the Thousand Chance Umbrella.
The second task was to bring back a thousand children.
Blood Cave City has only captured a little over two hundred children so far, which is far from the mission objective.
If the task is not completed, there will be all sorts of inhuman and cruel punishments.
“I…” Agatha gritted her teeth and could only lower her head in resentment.
Everyone says that Blood Cave City is very bloody and cruel.
But who knows that Blood Cave City is merely a pawn of the Mechanized City?
What Blood Cave City did was utterly insignificant compared to Mechanical City.
Agatha did not want to get involved in these heinous things.
They hunted down the Qiu and Dong sisters and traded these children.
She didn't want to be involved in any of them.
But... just as the captain said, they had no choice at all.
The mission to hunt down the A-Qiu sisters has failed.
If she fails to complete another task, the punishment will be unacceptable to her.
She doesn't want to become a monster like the captain! It would be better to just kill her!
"Alright, I understand, a thousand it is!" In the end, the Blood Cave City Lord gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Lord City Lord!"
Upon hearing this, the one-eyed giant and the others' expressions changed: "All the children we can search nearby are here. If you want to capture more children, leave the Blood Cave City area."
After cooperating with the government offices in recent years.
Blood Cave City has already rounded up a large number of children.
This leads to.
Many smaller factions would rather venture into the wilderness and fight ferocious beasts than stay.
The rest are ordinary people who are unable to survive in the wilderness and have no choice but to stay.
But now, the remaining smaller factions have been almost completely wiped out by them during this period.
"A bunch of idiots," the Blood Cave City Lord glanced at the speaker and said sternly, "If we can't even survive this catastrophe, what future do we have! If there's nothing left nearby, won't you expand the search area?"
He's not stupid. Doesn't he know that arresting too many children at once will cause many of them to escape?
By then, there will be no one around Blood Cave City, and Blood Cave City will gradually decline.
But now the situation is different, and we can't worry about that anymore.
If we can't survive this once-in-a-century catastrophe, then nothing else matters.
The only way is to trade with the Mechanical City and obtain more powerful weapons!
"Lord City Lord! Something terrible has happened! A colossal creature is rapidly approaching Blood Cave City..."
