Last Totem Novel - Chapter 393
Chapter 393 Torture
Three days later, the Black Pig King exchanged the money for a large amount of food and supplies, including some cheap tarpaulins, tents, survival supplies, and so on. Afterwards, he hired more than a dozen laborers to transport the supplies to a place more than ten kilometers away from the camp. After meeting up with Sofia and the others who had previously agreed to come to receive him, he immediately dismissed the laborers and transported the supplies back to the cave.
The women had enough to eat and drink, washed up, put on a brand-new brown tarpaulin uniform, put on guns, and equipped themselves. They were immediately refreshed and formed a beautiful scenery. Compared to the previous decadent laziness, it was simply like clouds and mud.
Even Tie Zha, who was accustomed to seeing the changes in the world, sighed endlessly. The Black Pig King, however, was greatly displeased. He said that it was better for them to wear their original clothes. They were dressed so beautifully and youthfully. It was obvious that they were causing trouble and attracting people to peek at them. Hearing that, Sofia felt that the Black Pig King’s words made sense. She immediately ordered the women to roll on the ground. Soon, they were grey-haired and had messy hair. They couldn’t see their age and appearance clearly.
Afterwards, for convenience of address, Tie Zha named this temporary guild composed of female insecticides “Nightingale Group”, but they weren’t included in the Black Wolf Legion. After arriving at the twelfth stronghold, they disbanded and merged into the organization of the stronghold. Iron Slag also repeatedly emphasized to the Black Pig King that their identities were free men. People in the stronghold could play with them, but they could not use force.
The Black Pig King said this repeatedly. In fact, he understood in his heart that Tie Zha’s words were mainly meant for him to hear. Alva and the others were originally Blood Hawk Zanglewell’s regular army, so there was basically nothing wrong with them. Tang De, Hank, and most of the members of the adventure group were Hagrid’s friends. They were all relatively upright people, otherwise Hagrid would not have interacted with them, let alone risking his life to save them. The only thing that could go wrong was the group of old subordinates that he had prepared to gather in the Long Horn Grand Canyon.
The Black Pig King himself was half a hooligan, so his subordinates were naturally no different from him. However, as the deputy commander of the Black Wolf Legion, he would be the highest commander after arriving at the 12th stronghold, so he naturally had to shoulder his responsibilities. If he could not restrain his subordinates properly, trouble and contradictions would ensue one after another.
After thinking for a while, a bold plan gradually took shape in his mind. Since they now had a stronghold and enough troops, they should gather some small strongholds along the way. On the one hand, they could enrich the personnel of stronghold number twelve, and on the other hand, they could train their troops through battles to regularize them. Some people with problems could also be eliminated.
While the Boar King was deep in thought, Hagrid arrived at the dock in Black Harbor. Before entering the dock, he had gone through at least three checkpoints. Apart from the regular customs, there were also two checkpoints temporarily set up here, aiming directly at Tie Zha.
After inquiring about the dockers, Hagrid quickly found out the location of the Big Dipper and walked over …
“Pa!” “Pa!” “Pa!” “Pa!” “Pa!” “Pa!” “Pa!”
At this moment, not far from Hagrid, in a tightly shut warehouse, a girl with a gloomy expression was holding a steel whip and whipping a man who was half-hanging in the air, his entire body covered in blood and flesh.
“Sun Fei, I’ll give you one last chance. Think about your family and your siblings.” The girl’s voice was gentle and her words were clear, but between the lines, there was an indescribable ruthlessness. She was carefully selected by Bi Qinglan from more than 3,000 replicas. As one of the twelve replicas of the Holy Maiden of the Protectorate, apart from possessing Tier 4 Psionic Abilities, her IQ, EQ, and preferences were all close to her true form. Her main body named her Bi Tianye, and she was the highest person in charge of this operation.
“I… I… I…” Sun Fei squirmed his mouth, as if he was about to lose consciousness.
“I know you’ve been poisoned. It doesn’t matter. We’ll find a way to undo it for you.” Bi Tianye suddenly changed his tone and said softly. The sweet voice seemed to be able to melt people.
“He … he’s in the north of the Black Rock Mountains … 16.5 degrees south-west of Crow Town … about 530 kilometers … He hopes … he hopes … that I can … lure you over … right … I’m sorry … I … I was wrong …”
“Do you know who I hate the most in my life?” Bi Tianye stared at the dying man, smiled and asked in a tired voice.
Sun Fei pleaded, “I … I don’t know … I was wrong … really wrong …”
“What I hate the most is traitors.” Bi Tianye clenched his teeth and said in his fleshy ear. Then, his expression froze and he took a step back, “Pa!” With a crisp sound, he shook the steel whip. Sparks of blue light suddenly appeared on the whip. It was the sign of psionic power filling.
‘”Don’t … don’t kill me … Please … don’t … don’t …” Seeing the blue light on the whip grow brighter and brighter, Sun Fei was so frightened that his soul dissipated, and he used his last bit of strength to struggle and howl.
“If you betray me, you will die!” Bi Tianye’s eyes suddenly widened. A blue light suddenly appeared in his eyes. At the same time, he pulled his back arm, twisted his waist, and lashed down with a whip.
“Pa!” “Pa!” “Pa!”
Three times in a row, blue light splashed down, sending Sun Fei flying into the air. When the first whip came down, his skull was completely shattered and his brain burst open. The second and third whip were purely to vent his anger, beating his flesh and bones to the point that they were as thin as mud. After killing the man, Bi Tianye forcefully swung the flesh and blood on the whip and handed it to his trembling subordinates before walking out.
Bi Tianye walked out of the warehouse and returned to his innocent smile. He stretched towards the sea as if he had just woken up.
Right at this moment, an uncle with a spear and sword on his back and a bearded face pulling on trash walked past her. She immediately narrowed her eyes and glanced at the other party with the remaining light at the corner of her eyes. She did not find anything special, so she turned her gaze away and continued to look at the sea.
As he passed by the girl, Hagrid smelled a strong smell of blood, but he did not reveal the slightest bit of doubt or curiosity. He did not even tilt his eyes and continued to walk forward quietly. The survival rule of the Southern Cemetery was very simple. It was to be cautious and avoid causing trouble.
Although the girl from earlier looked pure and lovely, her gaze was extremely sharp. If there was any movement, she would immediately notice it. This kind of alertness was definitely not something an ordinary person could possess.
Not long after, Hagrid arrived at the bottom of the Big Dipper and secretly observed it for a while. It was a common deep-sea fishing boat, its hull mottled and old, with more than half of its paint falling off and stains of rust everywhere. However, anyone who knew what was going on could tell that the ship looked old on the surface, but in fact, its performance was very reliable and it could sail for very long distances.
Hagrid stood under the ship and shouted to the sailors, “Is your captain here, my friend?”
“What is it?” A muscular man walked to the side of the boat, crossed his chest and looked down at Hagrid.
“Is your captain here? I want to talk to him about some business.” Hagrid said.
“Captain, I’m not free. I’m the chief officer of this ship. Just tell me if there’s anything you need.” Said the self-proclaimed mate, who was one of the captain’s confidants, the fat cat. He looks fatter than he did three years ago.
“This business is of great importance. I must explain it to your captain in person.” Hagrid said.
“Our captain is not free.” The mate repeated.
“Captain Feng Yun, I want to see Captain Feng Yun.” Helplessly, Hagrid could only say his name.
After a moment of silence, the higher-ups said, “We don’t have Captain Feng Yun here.”
“Captain Xia Yihan, I’m looking for Captain Xia Yihan.” Hagrid hurriedly changed his tone. According to Tie Zha, the captain of the Big Dipper should be Feng Yun, but things were hard to predict. With the captain’s personality, even if he wanted to go back, it wouldn’t be strange.
A moment later, the returning mate came to the railing, put down the rope ladder, and beckoned for Hagrid to come up. Then Hagrid climbed up the rope ladder to the deck. As soon as he landed, he was surrounded by dozens of fully armed sailors.
Hagrid hurriedly raised his hands to show his surrender. Then two sailors stepped forward to unload his armor and took him to the captain’s cabin.
At this moment, there were five people in the captain’s room, three standing and two sitting. Standing by the door was the first mate just now. Standing on both sides of the room was a fair-skinned man and a dark-skinned young girl with guns and swords on her back. One of the people sitting was a man in a red coat, and the other was a short and fat man in a grey chef’s coat.
“I am Captain Xia Yihan. May I help you?” The red-clothed man said.
“I have a friend named Quinn. Is he with you?” Hagrid asked tentatively.
“He’s trying to kidnap me. We’ve already detained him.” The captain paused and said, “Give us a ransom of two hundred gold coins and you can take him away.”
“Sorry, we don’t have that much money.” Hagrid said with a look of embarrassment.
“Then let him stay on the ship and wash the dishes for three years.” Said the captain.
“Heavens, it’s been too long.” Hagrid exclaimed.
The captain paused for a moment before adding, “It won’t be long. There are still twenty years left … If he can live for so long.”
“Alright …” Hagrid sighed. “Tie Zha asked me to find you.”
“Tie Zha? Who is Tie Zha?” The captain asked with a frown, while the others present also had blank expressions on their faces. It had to be said that these deep-sea fishermen were all born actors.
“He said that the captain’s abilities were poisonous bee needles and ant-eating arachnid venom. He said that the chef’s ability was flea-like. He also said that the captain lost to Zhao Linglong of the New Moon Alliance as soon as he got the boat.” At this point, Hagrid grinned and spread out his hands. “Friends, am I right?”
Hearing his words, the five people present looked at each other and did not say anything. A moment later, the captain spoke again.
“Let’s talk about the ransom first.”
“Ah?” Hagrid was stunned and couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you friends?”
“I don’t know who Tie Zha is” The captain was halfway through his words when a clang came from behind him.
Hagrid hurriedly turned his head and saw the young girl drawing her saber and looking at the captain with a murderous look on her face.
“Hurry up and take care of your daughter” As he spoke, the captain stood up and avoided her. Then, he pointed at Feng Yun and scolded, “You’ve been raising her for three years. It’s better for her to raise her for three days. Before we meet, you’ve already turned your elbow out.”
