491 The Secret of the Sacrifice

The incomparably huge space wasn’t excavated by the Scorpion race alone. Instead, it was originally a vast underground cave. After the Scorpion race’s transformation and expansion, this cave had become incomparably vast.

Although the Scorpion race had only repaired and expanded it later on, the amount of work required was not small considering the vast space of this cave.

If a city were built here, it would be difficult to attack unless the mountain was broken from the outside.

Although it was not difficult for Li Xiang and his heroes to break a mountain, it would be a joke if they did not know the exact location. ????n????????ℯ????d.＆nbsp;????o????

At this time, they could see that countless Human civilians in the cave were divided into several areas to guard. Each area had thirty to fifty thousand people, and there were no less than a dozen such areas.

These areas were the darker and more humid areas in the cave. They should have been the favorite places of the Scorpion race, but it was simply torture to the Human race.

Although Li Xiang was still in the warship outside, his eyes seemed to be able to see through the rocks and see everything in the cave.

“I wonder how long these people have been here. It seems that I have to take the initiative to attack and save more Human civilians after the Black Tide.”

With the fertility of the land and the growth rate of crops in the Kingdom of Dawn, it would not be a problem to feed billions of people.

Since that was the case, Li Xiang was naturally eager for a larger population.

In the cave, apart from the Human civilians who were forced to gather, there was a huge black altar in the middle. Around the altar, there were twenty to thirty thousand Scorpion Warriors.

Even more hair-raising was that under the altar, more than 100000 black scorpions were squeezed together, and a terrifying friction sound was produced as they collided.

“Cha cha… Cha cha… Cha cha…”

A blood-red light flickered faintly on the sacrificial altar, and a faint pressure was gradually rising.

Although the pressure was not intense, Li Xiang felt a sense of danger.

“This altar is indeed a medium to connect with a true God. Just the pressure it exudes is enough to make me feel fear. If a true God were to descend, I would not be able to resist at all. I thought I was a Demigod and even defeated the Lord of Dark and the Eternal King. It seems I’ve overestimated myself.”

“Although there’s only a one-word difference between a Demigod and a God, there’s a huge difference. After all, Demigods were still mortal creatures, but they were stronger. And Gods are creatures on another level.”

Thinking of the God of Frost he had offended, Li Xiang’s eyes flashed with an inexplicable look.

He had already offended them, and he had offended them greatly. There was no need to think about how to fix it.

Fortunately, true Gods could not descend to the lower realm. They could only influence and interfere with the material world through oracles or other means, so there was no need to worry too much.

At this moment, Li Xiang’s gaze fell on the densely packed scorpions under the altar.

These scorpions were much larger than normal scorpions and were extremely poisonous, all scrambling to climb up the altar.

The scene made an association in Li Xiang’s mind. It was as if these scorpions were somewhat similar to the carp that leaped over the dragon’s gate and then transformed into a true Dragon in the legends of his previous life.

As long as the carps crossed the strange dragon gate, they could transform from fish to Dragons. So, as long as these scorpions could climb up the altar, they would turn into the Scorpion race.

Almost instantly, Li Xiang had a flash of inspiration as he deduced the use of these scorpions.

There seemed to be no less than 100000 of them. If they were all turned into the Scorpion race, they would definitely become the biggest threat to the Kingdom of Dawn.

Moreover, transforming from a scorpion to a Scorpion race would consume massive energy.

Li Xiang’s gaze fell on the Human civilians, and he suddenly understood.

“This is really a sacrificial offering! Using flesh and blood of our Human civilians to create the demon Scorpion race… They are using our Human race as a resource.”

His heart was filled with killing intent. The Scorpion race that came out of the cave was only a tiny portion of the entire Scorpion race. How many more Scorpion races were there in the Myriad Word Continent? How many other foreign races were using the Human race as a resource like the Scorpion race?

“It seems I have to find a way to consume the foreign races to improve the Human race.”

Li Xiang’s eyes turned and landed on the altar. He wondered if it would work if he modified the altar.

Finally, he looked at the imprisoned Human civilians.

They were wearing all sorts of clothes, luxurious or shabby. There were young people, older people, and children. At this moment, regardless of gender, they were all forced to squat on the ground.

From their looks, they should have been captured not long ago. Otherwise, if this state continued for three to five days, at least half of them would have died. Now that even the child had survived. It was either that the Scorpion race had provided the necessary resources for survival, or that they had been captured recently.

The latter possibility was more likely.

Sure enough, not long after, a group of Scorpion Warriors walked over, each of them carrying a huge iron bucket. Something black was inside, but he couldn’t tell what it was.

Soon after, these Scorpion Warriors grabbed a handful from the bucket and threw them at the crowd as if feeding fish.

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd. Many people saw the black object and rushed up to fight for it.

As long as there were no casualties among the people fighting, the Scorpion Warriors wouldn’t care. Soon after, they threw out another handful, scattering it in another direction.

Just like that, they finished scattering the bucket of food and turned to leave.

The same thing was happening in the other areas.

Li Xiang could clearly see that there were black pills in the iron bucket, which seemed to have the effect of inedia pills.

These hundreds of thousands of Human civilians must have been living on these pills for the past few days.

From their looks, although they weren’t in a good state, they weren’t too bad either.

These people were all filled with fear. It was obvious that they were filled with despair and confusion about their fate.

In front of the Scorpion race, they simply couldn’t see any hope.

It wasn’t that they didn’t resist and struggle before. However, the result was that they were suppressed brutally and even became food in front of the others. They were eaten alive by the Scorpion race.

These people had never seen such a scene in their entire lives. They had long been scared out of their wits. Those who could muster the courage to resist were mostly dead.

Moreover, the Scorpion race was a true Transcendent race. They had wisdom and strength. Facing such an enemy, no matter how much they struggled, it would all be in vain.

Unless someone came to save them!

However, there were countless Humans like them in the Myriad World Continent. Even if someone knew that they were trapped here, who would come to save them?

As a result, these Human civilians were almost numb to the situation, waiting for death to befall them at any moment
