Chapter 185: William Enters the "Village"
Three days ago, ever since discovering that Mountain Men could transfer power among themselves, William had this plan.
However, the former obviously held on longer than expected.
But fortunately, William had enough patience to hollow out these Mountain Men one by one.
Using these powers, he set up a layer of Exorcism Array outside the cave.
To be safer, he should have nested another layer of isolation magic array.
In this way, the situation happening inside the cave would not leak to the outside world.
Unfortunately, this place was too large, so he could only make do with it.
William returned to the cave entrance again.
Just as he was about to activate the magic array, he found a Mountain Man kneeling and walking out.
This guy had fleshy horns on his head and was also one of the "Third Generation."
But at this moment, his footsteps were unsteady, seeming to be in a state of extreme exhaustion.
Crash.
"Horned Head" pushed down the wooden rack; not even half a piece of meat was left on it.
Then he lay on the ground, the pustules all over his body contracting and expanding constantly, emitting a sharp whistling sound in the dark night.
William narrowed his eyes; he knew this was a way to call companions.
Sure enough, a team of Mountain Men came from the dense forest soon, and they were all Second Generation.
They all lowered their heads, looking extremely terrified.
"Horned Head" rushed in front of them, making a sound with a peculiar rhythm from his mouth.
Although William couldn't understand these languages.
But judging from "Horned Head's" behavior, he seemed to be questioning those Second Generations.
One of the Second Generations said something.
In the next moment, it knelt on the ground clutching its head tightly, and soon completely lost movement.
William stared at this scene.
"Mental attack? Or life control of high-ranking over low-ranking?" He pondered secretly.
If it was the first kind, it would be fine; general mental invasion hardly worked on William.
But if it was the second kind...
William originally wanted to activate the magic array and drive the Mountain Men to consume each other.
But now it seemed he had to clarify it first. After that Second Generation Mountain Man died, the companions aside became even more terrified. They knelt on the ground, allowing "Horned Head" to accuse them.
Fortunately, this did not last too long.
Finally, after assigning tasks, "Horned Head" returned to the cave.
William also followed this team of Second Generations slightly.
Calculating intentionally against unintentionally, he quickly subdued this group of Mountain Men.
Through [Atonement Persuasion], he quickly understood the inside story.
It turned out that this team of Mountain Men was specifically responsible for food escort.
But starting from two days ago, there were no new replenishments on the edge of the dense forest.
Even the spare food in the range of the second layer disappeared inexplicably.
For this reason, this team of Mountain Men had run through most of the dense forest.
But they gained nothing, and even found that many of their kind disappeared suddenly.
It happened that "Horned Head" called them, so they could only come empty-handed with a brave face.
The consequences were naturally unsurprising.
At this moment, the higher-ups required them to replenish food as soon as possible; even killing in the town was fine.
After all, those aboriginals were originally "Spare Parts" left by the Progenitor.
Knowing these things, William looked a little unnatural.
Previously along the way, besides purifying the pursuing Mountain Men, he destroyed all the camps he encountered.
This was all to avoid a certain place becoming a breeding ground for evil.
Of course, he didn't spare the "Food" either.
After all, these were all souls who died miserably; sending them to rest in peace was the only thing William could do.
Judging from the current situation, the desired effect was indeed achieved.
At the same time.
Through these monsters in front of him, William also obtained information about the Third Generation Mountain Men.
The latter indeed possessed a higher status, so they could command the First and Second Generation kinds.
This "Nobility" originated from bloodline suppression, rooted in their minds since the birth of Mountain Men.
But fortunately, the Third Generation could not directly kill lower Mountain Men.
And just now, "Horned Head" used mental pollution.
This was an ability unique to Third Generation Mountain Men, which could create a large number of illusions in the enemy's brain.
Thereby making the former's mental power reach the limit in a short time, eventually causing the brain tissue to burst and die.
William rubbed his chin.
From these Mountain Men, he learned that there were still some of their kind in the dense forest.
It's just that the latter were already in the terminal stage; their fate was to contribute the remaining "Energy" to create more Mountain Men with pure bloodlines.
Therefore, the treatment of these guys was much better.
Besides living in secluded camps, they didn't have to worry about food.
But such days ended today.
Led by the small team of Mountain Men, William visited these camps one by one.
And let these brutal guys also experience the feeling of being "Invaded."
Under the "Three Alls Policy" (Kill all, Burn all, Loot all - here adapted contextually), these places were looted clean.
And no obstruction was encountered on the way.
When the sharp claws of their kind dug into their chests, these "Survivors" showed incredulous eyes.
They didn't understand why the younger generation would obey a human's order.
But they were destined never to know.
So, when William returned to the third layer of the dense forest again, many "Second Generations" gathered around him, carrying many cooking pots.
Cooking inside were exactly their predecessors.
William found Jenny; the scene might be chaotic later, so it was safer to keep the girl by his side.
And Jenny widened her eyes immediately after seeing this scene.
"William, why do I have a feeling that you are the bad guy?" The girl sighed with emotion.
Regarding this slander, William naturally wouldn't admit it.
A mighty crowd gathered outside the cave.
William drove the Mountain Men to place the cooking pots at the cave entrance.
He had already poured Holy Water in advance; he believed these guys would have a "Wonderful" dining experience.
The smell of meat soon drifted into the cave.
"Horned Head" and other Third Generations soon appeared at the entrance.
Looking at the pots full of food, they could hardly suppress the impulse in their hearts.
So many lower Mountain Men stepping into the third layer attracted the attention of quite a few Third Generations.
But they decided to fill their stomachs first.
During these days in the cave, they even began to overdraw their own flesh and blood.
The sound of chewing food soon rang in the air.
Through the Second Generations, William knew these superiors were very satisfied.
Seeing that the time was about right, he immediately asked a Second Generation to reply with this sentence—Is it delicious? There might be one of your family members inside.
The Third Generations were all bred by the Second Generations, so this sentence was not wrong.
"Horned Head" was stunned immediately; he didn't expect a low-class goods to dare to be so presumptuous.
Mountain Men attach great importance to the connection of ethnic relations, which is very important for completing the "True Lord's" order.
So he got up immediately, intending to bestow punishment in public.
But in the next second, "Horned Head's" face changed.
He felt an extremely terrifying power coming from his abdomen, dissolving his flesh.
In desperation, he could only drive his own power to offset it.
This situation also appeared in other Third Generations.
At this time, they realized something was wrong.
"Horned Head" extended one hand, trying to use the remaining power to launch mental pollution.
But when he touched the brain of the Second Generation, he found that he couldn't create any illusions.
How is this possible!
At the same time, the Second Generations also launched an attack, and the cave entrance soon fell into chaos.
After a period of time, many Mountain Man corpses appeared on the ground.
At this time, William appeared.
He approached a Third Generation Mountain Man with fleshy horns on its head.
"Hu... human, it's you..."
William raised an eyebrow; this guy could actually speak human language.
"Congratulations, you guessed right. Satisfied with the meal?"
He responded casually, then set up an isolation magic array around the other party.
"Despicable human, your character is as lowly as ever." Horned Head spoke with difficulty.
"Character?"
William's voice rose steeply; he squatted at a distance far enough from the Mountain Man.
"You guy actually know such a noble word."
He counted on his fingers.
"Just in these few sentences, you made several common sense errors."
Horned Head was stunned upon hearing this, seemingly not quite understanding.
"First, although you look ugly and your taste is hard to describe, tracing the source, you also possess human genes."
"Second, you killed countless passing travelers; didn't you ever think that one day you would end up the same?"
"Finally, I come from the Church, a priest with excellent moral character and willing to help others."
Horned Head was momentarily speechless.
Especially after hearing William claim to be from the Church, he revealed a meaningful look.
"Do you know whom we serve? You trespassed on this land; the 'True Lord' will not let you go."
William rubbed his chin.
"You evil side all claim to serve the 'True Lord'; it seems this title is indeed of no value."
"Blasphemy!"
Horned Head shouted suddenly.
"We serve Satan, the only master of Hell! When the Son of the Demon descends, you will all receive judgment."
William raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
"Sure enough, this is Satan's territory, so the cave is for this purpose..."
He spoke again: "In other words, if I destroy those embryos in the cave, the Son of the Demon won't be able to be born, right?"
Horned Head fell into silence immediately.
A moment later, his tone softened a lot:
"...I am the Son of the Demon; inside is just our food."
The corner of William's mouth twitched.
This acting is too clumsy!
"When you contributed 'Energy', I saw it all." William's tone was flat.
"It really is you!"
Horned Head looked ferocious; he tried to get up and attack but was blocked by a barrier.
"Cut the crap; before dying, better confess all the information you know."
William's tone was flat; what he said didn't sound like a positive character at all.
Under the influence of [Atonement Persuasion], Horned Head soon opened his heart to him.
"Lord Progenitor was originally an ordinary farmer in the dense forest. She lived a poor life for a long time until one day, she discovered an altar..."
"After reaching a deal with the True Lord, Lord Progenitor obtained powerful strength. She ate her husband and gave birth to the First Generation..."
"Lord Progenitor bears the mission of nurturing the Son of the Demon. When the Holy Son of the Murder House dies, this place will be..."
Horned Head's words were suddenly interrupted.
Immediately after, many tentacles emerged from under his skin and bit fiercely on Horned Head's skull.
A moment later, this Mountain Man stopped moving.
