Chapter 439 Dead?
"What's that sound?" the male orc at the door asked warily.
His companion looked unconcerned. "Hey, what other sound is there? That guy in the dungeon, probably been locked up for too long and is going crazy again." Ever since Pig Violent was locked up here, he's been putting on this crazy show every now and then.
"Alright, alright, the high priest said we don't need to worry about him, just make sure he doesn't die."
Pig Tyrant struggled to crawl to the gate and shouted frantically through the fence, "My grandfather will definitely avenge me! Just wait and see if Beast City is razed to the ground!"
"Haha, hahahahahaha!"
As the two male orcs spoke, the worm in Pig Tyrant's chest seemed to have sucked up a lot of blood, turning incredibly bright red. It slowly crawled down Pig Tyrant's arm, over the fence, and finally disappeared through a crack in the wall.
The moment the blood worm crawled out of his body, Pig Violent stopped breathing. He remained clinging tightly to the railing, his eyes fixed on the doorway, looking particularly terrifying.
His originally fat body had become thinner and thinner under the daily imprisonment. After the worm came out, it shrank even more strangely, until it was just skin and bones. This twisted posture was very scary. From a distance, it looked like a human skin wrapped around a skeleton.
The insects that drifted out through the cracks in the wall turned into wisps of red smoke upon contact with the sunlight outside, disappearing into thin air as if they had never existed.
The next morning, the male orc who came to relieve the guard carried a food box into the dungeon. "This damn weather really changes in an instant. And once we got into the dungeon, it was even more gloomy."
"Hey, time to eat!" The male orc arrived at the door of Pig Tyrant's cell and was not surprised to see the figure slumped on the ground. This male orc had been locked up here for so long that he was already half-mad.
The high priest only said that he would keep him alive, so they only brought him one meal a day, a bowl of bran.
The male orc stepped forward and kicked the boar that was lying face down at the fence entrance. "Get up and eat!"
The jewels on the ground remained motionless. The male orc was somewhat surprised by this. Although the orc was almost insane, he was very conscious of his life. He would always wolf down his food when they brought it to him. Why was it so quiet and still this time?
He frowned and waited, but the orc on the ground remained motionless. Seeing this, the male orc's heart skipped a beat. He squatted down and poked the pile of rotten flesh on the ground. "Hey! Hey, wake up!"
"Oh no!" Seeing his appearance, the male orc pushed him hard, and the boar fell stiffly to the ground, his eyes bulging and his eyes wide with rage. His left chest was a bloody mess, which had become a gruesome mass after a night, making him look extremely horrifying.
The male orc quickly opened the cell door and went inside. The orc on the ground was already cold and stiff, and looked like he had been dead for a while.
"Oh no! He's dead!" The male orc quickly turned and ran towards the training camp office outside.
Hu Luan was sitting in his office with a bitter face. "I say, Elder, I'm in charge of the hunting, so there's no need for me to sit in my office all day, is there?"
Hu Kuo thumped his cane. "I don't care what happened before, but now that the High Priest and the others aren't here, and we don't know much about the training camp, you'd better stay here obediently and sort out all the trivial matters in the training camp before you leave!"
Hearing him say that, Hu Luan, a burly man nearly two meters tall, looked at the booklets on his desk with a worried expression. Actually, it was nothing much, just the daily patrol, shift change, and hunting schedule, and the personnel arrangements.
However, Hu Luan's literacy lessons were not very good to begin with. Out of ten characters in that book, he didn't recognize three or four, so he was always frowning.
Hu Kuo just sat there acting as the supervisor.
Just then, hurried footsteps came from the doorway, and a moment later, there was a knock on the office door. "Elder, I have something to report!"
Hu Luan looked up at Hu Kuo, secretly pleased, but remained outwardly calm as he said, "Come in!"
The office door opened, revealing the male orc who had just been to the dungeon. He looked at the two people in front of him anxiously. "Elder, something terrible has happened! The prisoner from the Superbringer Tribe in the dungeon is dead!"
"What did you say?!" The male tree-man had barely finished speaking when Hu Kuo and Hu Luan abruptly stood up. Hu Kuo's wrinkled face was unusually serious. "What exactly happened?"
The male orc shook his head. "I don't know the specifics. I just came here to relieve him. He was already dead when I took my food to the dungeon this morning. It seems like it happened in the middle of last night."
Hu Kuo and Hu Luan exchanged a glance, and Hu Kuo spoke first: "Take us over there and have a look!"
The high priest had only been gone from the City of Ten Thousand Beasts for a few days when this male orc died, and Hu Kuo felt uneasy.
The two men arrived at the dungeon, led by a male orc. At the same time, the two male orcs who had been guarding the dungeon the previous day were also called back.
Foxtail was also waiting there. As soon as he saw the two of them, he rushed over and said, "I heard that the prisoner is dead?!"
When Lang Cang left the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, the training camp in the city was handed over to the captains of several tribal hunting teams. At this time, Xiong Fei and Hu Qiu had also left, leaving only Hu Wei in charge of the training camp.
Upon hearing that the pig had died, he rushed over in a panic.
Hu Luan frowned and nodded seriously, "We just heard about it too."
"Let's go inside and take a look!"
The group entered Pig Tyrant's cell and, upon seeing the orc's corpse, Tiger Kuo's eyes darkened. The circumstances of the death were simply too horrifying.
It was as if all their energy had been drained.
