Chapter 1247 The Plate
Hao Xuan physically gagged upon seeing the wretched state within the mass grave even with all that experience of being around dead bodies.
Blood trails could be seen in almost every direction from where the bodies were dismembered and the organs emptied.
"Snort Snort!"
He quickly took cover behind the canopy before it could get too close but that appeared to be unnecessary as another growl came from the smoke and two lanky figures walked out on two feet.
Hao Xuan slowly peaked his head out from the tree trunk to inspect these new arrivals. They had hoofed legs and faces of goats attached to somewhat humanoid abdomens. They were both holding bone spears and speaking in some language that he had never heard before.
They yelled a few times at the lava hole and out came nine more swine demons came out one by one.
And yet the swine demons obeyed them without making a sound. They spread out in every direction of the mass grave, using their tusks to rip open the abdomens and bring the organs towards the lava hole.
'It was that black smoke! I couldn't sense or even see any of them while they were next to it and there is a layer of it around the mass grave. It's messing with my senses,' he told Baracus using spirit sense.
'Yeah, I feel the same way. They are like watchdogs keeping the less intelligent swine demons in check while using them for manual labour. But that's not the concerning part right now, does this mass grave not remind you of something else?' Hao Xuan asked while tilting his head to the side.
'It's too...neat, too well organized. The right arms are all in one mound, the left ones in another. It's the same for the legs and the heads but the midsections are all strewn on the sides, while the organs are neatly piled in the middle. Not to mention that none of the demons are eating them themselves. If I didn't know any better I'd say it looks like a-'
*Ruuumble*
The trees that were on the side of the grave were pushed aside like twigs as a five-meter-tall hulking figure plodded through. The energy it was giving was so oppressive that he could barely breathe even though it was still several hundred meters away
The figure walked down into the grave to reveal its true demented form.
Its protruding abdomen was just a gaping maw big enough to swallow entire cars in one go whereas the head looked like a bare human skull that was missing the lower jaw and served no real purpose.
