The corpses had piled up into a mountain.
The Heavenly Eye People "stored" near the Spiritual Energy Tower had been simply divided into two groups.
The dead and the living.
Like livestock waiting to be slaughtered, the living Heavenly Eye People stared in grief and fury at their dead kin beside them. The dead Heavenly Eye People stared with unclosed eyes, using their vacant three eyes to cry out against the injustice of fate.
Most of the corpses piled into Corpse Mountain were children. Tiny hands and feet protruded from the mountain of corpses, occasionally swaying silently when the ground trembled.
To save space, or perhaps to make them easier to transport, all these Heavenly Eye People had been stripped naked. They were piled together, bare and glistening. The corpses at the bottom had already been crushed until blood seeped out, and the blood flowing from their mouths and noses had gradually gathered into puddles in the Deep Pit.
Seeing that the Corpse Mountain before him consisted mostly of child-aged Heavenly Eye People, Lin An was not surprised.
Under his pressure, the Awakeners from the various war zones had naturally chosen to kill the Heavenly Eye People before taking them away so they could transport more of them. The children, who were smallest in size and provided roughly the same amount of Spiritual Energy, had naturally become their first choice.
However, these children were truly very, very small.
By the standards of the Heavenly Eye People's rapid-growth physique, the Heavenly Eye People in Corpse Mountain, converted to human terms, might have been only a few months old.
"Team Leader Lin, don't you think humans are the most cruel creatures?"
"They clearly look just like us, except for having one extra eye. Doing this makes me feel a little awful."
