For Augustus, Fifth Floor said that he wanted to continue exploring deeper underground.
Prodigy were immediately divided into two factions.
Conservatives vs Radicals.
Conservatives think they can stay at Fourth Floor, but going to Fifth Floor is too radical.
And radicals feel...
"You..."
Prodigy, who had been silent all this time, hesitantly spoke.
"But Master Augustus has given us so much Blood of Life and has been protecting us..."
Radicals feel that they can be conservative in an orderly and slow manner.
At least remember how good Augustus is to them.
You can't really run away and be ungrateful, right?
However...
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the person next to him.
"Protecting us? Is that protecting? Just now, facing so many Blood Slave, he kicked so many Prodigy out of Defense Shield, watching helplessly as they were Blood Slave was torn to pieces! My brother Descartes, he did nothing wrong, but he was pushed out to die!!! Descartes was torn into pieces by Blood Slave, and his body was not intact, but as for him, he didn't even look at it!"
"And Nina! She was outside the protective shield at that time, begging and begging desperately for help, patting Light Screen to beg him, but the result? He remained indifferent, closed the defensive barrier tightly, and watched coldly!"
The person who spoke was a young Prodigy. At this moment, his face was flushed, his fists were clenched and turned white, and he was staring at Augustus.
Descartes, who was torn apart by Blood Slave, was his best brother, and Nina was the witch he had always liked.
And now, they all died in the hands of Blood Slave.
However, in his opinion...
"They didn't die at the hands of Blood Slave, they died in indifference and sacrifice! Today he can sacrifice others to save himself, but tomorrow we will be the second batch of victims! Who dares to follow such a cold-blooded person?!"
As soon as the words fell, the hearts of all Prodigy were touched.
Yes, they have all seen Augustus's indifference with their own eyes.
Who can guarantee that they will not be next?
The companions beside this young Prodigy quickly stretched out their hands to signal him to shut up, fearing that his unbridled speech would anger Augustus and lead to death.
But at this moment, he was so angry and resentful that he had already ignored him, looked directly at Augustus, and questioned him in public.
"You should say something! Descartes and Nina..."
Faced with Prodigy's doubts and provocations, Augustus did not get angry. Instead, he slowly raised the corners of his lips, and his handsome face suddenly gained a hint of coquettishness.
Whoosh!
An afterimage suddenly flashed by without warning, so fast that Prodigy could not even capture the trajectory of this figure.
I only saw that when Shadow stopped, Augustus's hand had already passed through the chest of the young Prodigy.
"Pfft--!"
There was a muffled sound, Fresh Blood spurted out, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
That Prodigy looked down at the hand that had come out of his chest. There were still anger and unfinished words on his face, but his life was already passing quickly.
Augustus's fingertips gently closed inside his body, holding the still beating heart, and then slowly pulled it out.
The whole place was dead silent.
Everyone looked at Prodigy who was lying on his back and dead.
Look again at that heart beating in the palm of Augustus, with the remaining warmth.
Looks complicated.
dead.
Augustus actually took action, and he was a killer as soon as he took action.
Augustus smiled and admired the heart in his hand, as if he was looking at a piece of newly acquired material, and then...
The fingertips glowed with Law light, and Life Law was running in his hands.
Boom!
All the Bloodline Spiritual Power, lifelong Cultivation Level, and Divine Soul Origin that Prodigy had all over his body were instantly extracted and refined, condensing into a pure and bright Blood Color light group, suspended in the palm of his hand.
Augustus raised his head slightly, opened his mouth and swallowed.
The gurgling warm current instantly swept through the limbs and bones, Magic Power was filled rapidly, and the aura throughout the body continued to rise.
All Prodigy looked dumbfounded, feeling their scalps bursting and their whole bodies cold!
Even Lance and Estelle are no exception.
Demon Race has always respected the strong and preyed on the weak. Competition among the same race and fighting for power are the norm. They have long been accustomed to it.
But fighting with the same race is one thing, but refining and devouring the same race is another thing entirely!
This method was so weird, cruel, violent and cold that it made them feel a chill in their hearts and made them feel hairy all over.
At this moment, Augustus, in their eyes, is no longer the cold, steady, steady and reliable Demon Race Prodigy leader, but a terrifying Fierce Beast who is dormant in disguise and chooses people to eat!
Augustus let out a breath, his face looked a little rosier than before, and he couldn't help but curl his lips.
He can refine the corpse of a monster into Blood of Life, and naturally he can also refine the corpse of Demon Race to become part of his own power.
Even...
Because they are both Demon Race and Bloodline, with similar powers, they are easier to absorb after refining, and the improvement in strength is more obvious, and...
Very fragrant.
So delicious.
I really want to have another one.
He tilted his head and glanced at the remaining Prodigy, with an indescribable look between scrutiny and hunger in his eyes.
"So... who else wants to leave?"
The whole place was dead silent, no one dared to speak or move.
The dissatisfaction, unwillingness, resentment, and intention to retreat just now have been completely crushed by fear, and not even the dregs are left.
The entire audience Prodigy was so silent that they didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Who dared to say even a word "no"?
They now know very well... if they say they want to leave now, the next heart to be refined may be theirs.
This is not resistance, this is active feeding!
Seeing no one objected, a trace of imperceptible regret flashed across Augustus's eyes, as if it was a pity that there were not more "delicious supplements".
This look immediately made everyone Prodigy even more frightened.
He, he really wanted to kill a few more.
The next moment, Augustus stopped smiling, and his tone became calm again, almost indifferent.
"Since no one wants to leave, then Goodie should be obedient, keep to yourself, and follow me honestly."
"Haha, do you really think those Blood of Life and Black Umbrella's protections are free of charge?"
"There is never a free lunch in the world. All protection, all resources, and all opportunities have to be paid for."
"In the next journey, the obedient will live, and the rebel will die. Do you understand?"
Prodigys nodded in unison, each with their heads lowered deeper than the other.
All Prodigy knew in their hearts that they were on a pirate ship. It was easy to get on, but extremely difficult to get off.
Lance and Estelle looked at each other, each seeing deep strangeness and fear in each other's eyes.
The Augustus they had seen was silent, aloof, and taciturn, but it had never looked like this... The look in his eyes that seemed to regard everything as nourishment made them feel chilled at the same time.
Lance frowned, feeling deeply suspicious.
Does Father God really know that Augustus is this kind of person?
If they knew, Father God would still let them follow Augustus?
And if you don't know, Augustus's hiding is too deep, and even... could even First Demon God have another face just like Augustus?
