The combat power of these executioners is not strong, and the armor on their bodies does not seem to be used for defense. The players who fought with them soon discovered their characteristics. Regeneration. When they are injured, no matter which part, they will regenerate and heal quickly. This shocked Li Miao and others. But fortunately, although these executioners have strong vitality, their strength is not strong, and the highest is only slag grade. The players quickly subdued them. [Special task has been updated: Ask about the situation of the executioners. ] The battle subsided. However, except for the executioner leader and the executioner who just spoke to him, the other executioners struggled very strongly.
Fortunately, there are ropes for sale in the Lingzhu store, and the players tied them up one by one. After letting Mangzige and others be alert to the surrounding situation, they came to the executioner leader with a painful face from a distance and asked him. "What's your name?" The executioner leader looked painful, and did not answer his question, but said in a hoarse voice: "Outsider... run away..." He seemed to be not sober, confused, as if he was fighting against something. But it is not difficult to see from his words that he had no intention of killing the players who suddenly appeared, but just wanted them to leave, as if there was a greater danger besides them. Seeing this, Rogge came up and nodded to the distance: "Let me try." As he said, he stretched out his hand, and the soft glow on the execution gloves emanated, and pressed it on the forehead of the executioner leader. Mitreos Clarity. After a while, the painful expression of the executioner leader seemed to ease a little. After Rogge looked at him for a while, he seemed to notice something and squinted. The next moment, he stretched out his hand directly, put his two fingers together, and inserted them directly into the other's chest with a puff. The distant brows frowned slightly, but did not stop. "Fuck, Brother Jiao, don't..." The others were shocked and wanted to stop him. But the next second they saw that Rogge took out a black and red meat ball from the chest of the Executioner Leader, which was still beating. After the meat ball was peeled off, the pain on the face of the Executioner Leader was relieved a lot. "What is this thing?" Shang'an saw this and grinned, not caring about why Rogge would learn this useless technique. After putting away the meat ball in his hand, Rogge looked at the Executioner Leader who was gradually waking up.
"Are you feeling better?" The Executioner Leader still looked a little weak at this time, but at least he looked conscious. After taking a hard look at the players and the Executioner on the ground, he finally spoke hoarsely. But surprisingly, his first sentence was to get back what Rogge had just peeled off from him. "Outsider... please... give me back what I just saw..." This shocked all the players. "Is this NPC crazy? He wants to put that thing back into his body?" Heishan was unbelievable. Li Miao and others looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Yuanfang saw that he was extremely weak, and after thinking for a moment, he took out a [fish ball] that could restore his physical strength from the inventory and fed it into the other party's mouth. But the executioner leader spit it out quickly. "Huh?" Li Miao raised his eyebrows: "Bones are so hard?" But the other party's words soon embarrassed him. "Voice... can't eat..." After saying that, he looked weakly at the mouthparts on his chest, which looked like the feeding mouth of a starfish. "My mouth... is in the abdomen..." "..."Li Miao. "Haha, stupid, I'm laughing to death." Shang'an couldn't help laughing and patted his shoulder. Yuanfang silently fed the fish ball into the other party's abdomen, and gave him a few more by the way. After a while, the executioner leader, who had recovered some of his strength, stood up with difficulty and exhaled. "... Thank you for your kindness, outsiders." "This is the Golden Sand Islands. I am the chief of the Starfish Clan, Shajiao." After saying that, he did not want to reveal more, but just sighed. "Leave, outsiders, you are not bad people. We appreciate your kindness, but we need to rely on the Golden Sand Lord to survive. This is the only way..." "Don't give up your life in vain. Leave as soon as possible..." His eyes were dim, as if he had lost hope long ago. And it is not difficult to hear from his words that the players do not seem to be the first to come here, and someone has tried to rescue them. After listening to this, the players frowned, puzzled, and reacted differently. "Can only rely on these cruel tortures to survive? What does this mean?" Going ashore and looking at Li Miao. Li Miao touched his chin: "It seems to be related to the so-called Jinsha Lord."
"What do you mean by giving up your life in vain? As long as there is blood, God will kill you." The Black Mountain Little Demon was full of confidence. "Will this NPC drop something good after being killed..." Niu Niu muttered, his brain circuit was completely out of the same channel as others. Li Miao and others who heard this quickly glared at him. "Oh, I'm just thinking about it. Of course I know this NPC is very important, otherwise I would have taken action long ago, don't worry." Niu Niu smiled awkwardly. Of course, their words did not fall into the ears of the starfish tribe Shajiao, after all, it was Rogge and Yuanfang who were talking to him. "Anyway, please tell me about the situation here first. Your predicament may not be unsolvable." Rogge said directly. He had already explored the meat ball just now. It was just one of the chaotic forces in this area. If it must be named, it might be called pain. This power is obviously closely related to the Golden Sand Islands and the Lord of Golden Sands mentioned by Shajiao. "...Okay, but you have to promise me that after I finish speaking, you will return the thing to me." Shajiao sighed. Rogge nodded in agreement. Soon, Shajiao told the situation here. The starfish tribe has lived on this island with golden sand for generations, and is owned by the canonized Lord of Golden Sands. But with the sudden arrival of disaster and the dark border, the past life is gone forever. The dark border is untouchable. The strange storms and dark holes that appear from time to time are constantly depriving the lives of the starfish tribe. Even under the leadership of the most powerful Lord Jinsha, they are still unable to fight. But this is not the most terrifying thing. What really makes the starfish tribe despair is the polluted land and sea water. Fish and shrimp mutate, and swallowing them will cause terrible diseases, or madness, or corruption, or death by parasitism. Even if you risk killing them, it is difficult to extract a trace of spiritual material from them. The ocean no longer breeds the seaweed and kelp on which they depend for survival, and the land cannot grow crops... Food. The starfish tribe has no food source. They certainly have a strong regeneration ability, but regeneration also requires physical strength as a basis. As the owner of the Jinsha Islands and the only noble in this sea area, Lord Jinsha must find hope to survive, whether out of his own survival needs or out of responsibility. Just when they were desperate. Something happened that changed the situation.
Lord Jinsha's wife and children died. The specific reason is unknown, but on that day, Lord Jinsha came to the remaining members of the Starfish Clan with blood all over his body. He spread his hands and brought bloody hope. Pain. As long as they took the meat ball and continued to create pain, Lord Jinsha could bring them food and meat to keep them alive. The Starfish Clan did so. The pain of the body brought food, and the pain of the soul provided them with protection, preventing the dark hole and the strange storm from getting close. The executioners of the Starfish Clan would rotate every once in a while, and the targets of the executioners were usually their wives and children. This would maximize the pain. For an unknown period of time, some Starfish Clan members could not bear it and committed suicide in various ways. In the end, the Starfish Clan became what they are now. They did... survive. And I don't know how long ago, Shajiao had also seen similar outsiders. They also wanted to help the Starfish Clan, and went to find Lord Jinsha despite Shajiao's dissuasion. But Shajiao never saw them again... After saying that, Shajiao looked at the evil sand statue in the center of the village. A sharp sword pierced through his head and body, and his face was in agony. Pain gives life. "..." After hearing Shajiao's words, all the players fell silent involuntarily. Li Miao's brain even crashed on the spot and he didn't react. To be honest, he initially thought that these executioners were evil monsters who were killing those being punished. He only became suspicious after hearing the chief of Shajiao ask them to flee, and then he was shocked to find that they were actually from the same tribe. After hearing the title of Jinsha Zunjue, he subconsciously thought that this was a story of aristocrats oppressing civilians. But it was not until the chief of Shajiao told the truth that he suddenly realized that the tragic situation in the Jinsha Islands had nothing to do with good and evil, nor with oppression. It's just a fragile life, and it was a difficult choice that had to be made in this disaster... "...Are those monsters sent by Lord Jinsha? Why did they attack us?" Black Mountain Little Demon frowned and asked. "I don't know..."
"Maybe you threatened the safety of food, or maybe he is like us..." Shajiao sighed. "...He lost his former sanity under the torture of pain..." "What about the Broken Core? Have you heard of it?" Niu Niu asked. Shajiao shook his head, as if he had never heard of this word. The atmosphere fell into silence, with only a faint firelight swaying. Looking at the expressions of the people in front of him, Shajiao smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Although I don't know how you came here through the dark border, I'm afraid you can't change this." "If you insist on looking for Lord Jinsha, I can't stop you. He is in the sand castle in that direction..." "But if you can still go back, it's best to go back the same way..." "I wish you... eternal fireworks..." After saying this, Shajiao looked tired and numb, and stretched out his hand to Rogge. "Please, give that thing back to me..." Rogge didn't say anything, just took out the black and red meat ball and handed it to the other party. In silence, Sha Jiao said goodbye to them. After being tied up for a while, the executioners became much calmer. After letting go of their restraints, they followed Sha Jiao without saying a word and began the cruel torture of their loved ones again. . The wails and screams echoed again, no different from before they arrived. The rest of the people were silent, Li Miao still didn't quite understand, and Niu Niu was telling Brother Mangzi about the situation just now, who didn't hear the situation. ‘This area has not become like that in the dungeon. Is it because of the influence of the Broken Core or those weird powers? ’ 'There is no way to anchor this place. If we want to absorb these starfish tribe, we have to do it ourselves...' 'But the Shajiao Clan leader gave me the feeling that something was not right. Is it because of the erosion of strange power...' Rogge thought secretly in his heart. This area is obviously different from the dungeon area, but unfortunately, the spiritual candle cannot anchor it. It is possible for him to take away these starfish tribe, and he can also afford to raise them, but I am afraid he will have to pay a huge price, and he may not even be able to take them all away. So he did not choose to act blindly, but handed the strange thing back to Shajiao. 'It seems that we have to find the so-called Lord Jinsha first...' Just as Rogge was thinking, someone in the distance suddenly spoke. "Everyone, what do you think?" He looked at everyone quietly from a distance. Although he was asking questions, he seemed to be asking with answers.
"...Senior Yuanfang, what do you mean by the credibility of the words of the Shajiao clan leader just now?" Tianji touched his chin and asked. "It's okay, tell me what you think." Yuanfang nodded. "Wait a minute, I'll go over it again." Li Miao was still sorting out the information he just received. The landing on the side is similar. The brains of these two stupid college students were obviously a little rusty after the college entrance examination. "I felt something was wrong. He might be lying." Wangdao frowned. When Niu Niu heard this, his eyes lit up and asked him the specific reason. But Wangdao responded "I don't know, just rely on intuition", which made him speechless. "There is something unreasonable about what he said." Tianji suddenly spoke. "According to his words, this place is purgatory. Under such circumstances, when he saw us outsiders, he didn't ask how we survived, nor did he want to follow us." As soon as this statement came out, everyone was suddenly shocked. Yes, this is obviously unreasonable. A person is trapped in an ice cave and shivering with cold. When he sees an outsider, he doesn't ask him how he got here and doesn't want to leave here? Was it that the leader of the Shajiao clan was so tortured that he became delirious or... was there another reason? "Fuck, this hairy NPC actually dares to lie to us!" Brother Mangzi immediately became angry. "Let's go back and kill him." Niu Niu said something even more abruptly. As he spoke, he turned around and Brother Mangzi followed without saying a word. "Wait a minute, don't worry, the boss from far away hasn't spoken yet." The Black Mountain Demon quickly stopped them, sweat breaking out on his forehead. Asking for monthly ticket
