However, when the strange bird fell to the ground, a rustling sound could be heard from the grass on the ground. Monsters similar to the ones in the ventilation duct emerged from the grass in groups of twos and threes.
When they saw the strange bird on the ground, still twitching slightly with its intestines and innards all over the ground, they let out excited growls. The sound was like a woman's scream, and they all pounced on it. The strange bird let out a sorrowful cry, but it was quickly drowned out by the sound of chewing and tearing.
Seeing that the strange bird was eaten up by the beasts below in just a few seconds, Zuo Zhicheng's eyes became serious.
'These beasts look strange. Could they be domesticated by the ghouls? If that's the case, they seem to be part of the defense and patrol team? '
At this moment, a pirate walked over while cursing. When he saw the beasts eating the strange bird, he cursed, "Damn it, I knew it was you guys who were restless." When he saw the little monsters turn around and bare their teeth at him, his face changed into a green face with fangs. He opened his mouth and roared threateningly. The little monsters immediately scattered and ran away.
He laughed, stopped his transformation, and was about to leave. However, just as he took a step back, a black shadow fell from the sky and pushed him to the ground. The pirate did not even have time to react before his throat was slit by a dagger, and his head was chopped off.
Compared to the powerful ghouls like Victor and Peter, this pink ghoul was completely vulnerable in front of Zuo Zhicheng.
After his head was cut off in an instant, Zuo Zhicheng carried the corpse in one hand and the head in the other. He took out a rope and tied the corpse to the tree.
What followed was naturally another round of interrogation. Compared to Victor and the other ghouls, this ghoul from the Da Qi State was much easier to deal with.
Zuo Zhicheng only stabbed him a few times and threatened him, and the other party told him everything.
According to him, there were more than 400 pirates on the island. The distribution of strength was similar to what Zuo Zhicheng could see with his infrared vision.
As for the passengers who were caught today, they were usually locked up and distributed the next day. However, because Victor and the others were either dead or missing on the ship, Lin Hongsheng and the others were tied up overnight and were being tortured and interrogated.
However, Zuo Zhicheng had knocked them out before, so they knew nothing about Zuo Zhicheng and Jiang Qing. They could not get any useful information from the interrogation.
As for the pirate ghoul leaders, this person only knew that the leader was a blonde man who was as strong as a bear. His name was Kuilin. He seemed to be the leader of the western ghouls. They had arrived here about half a year ago. In the beginning, there were only a dozen of them.
However, other than eating the people they captured, they would also turn them into ghouls.
"Become a ghoul?" Zuo Zhicheng asked in confusion. "How did you do that?"
"I … I don't know." The man was afraid that Zuo Zhicheng would torture him again, so he said nervously, "There is a strange old man. He lives in the tower in the middle. Every time we transport people in, they become ghouls when they come out. However, I don't remember what I experienced in there. "
"Strange old man? Who is he? How strong is he? "
"I don't know. I haven't seen him fight. However, judging from his accent and appearance, he should be from the Da Qi State. He doesn't seem to be a ghoul. " The man thought as he spoke. Obviously, he was not very educated, and his words were a little incoherent. However, Zuo Zhicheng could still roughly understand.
This old man should be from the Da Qi State. He lived in the central three-story tower all day. It was said that he came from the west with the ghouls. The ghouls respected him and asked for his opinion on many things. However, he was not a ghoul.
Another thing that Zuo Zhicheng didn't expect was that the strange birds and small monsters were called Ghost Eagles and Yin Hounds. They listened to the orders of the Ghouls, but they weren't brought over by the Ghouls from the Western Continent. They were actually bred by the old man.
"Cultivated?" Zuo Zhicheng narrowed his eyes. "How did he do it?"
"I … I don't know." Seeing the blade go deeper into his cheek and leave a wound, the man said in a panic, "That old man is very strange. He spends most of his time hiding in his tower. I don't know what he's doing. He just patrols every night. If I pass by that place, I'll hear a lot of noise. It seems like he's digging something."
Zuo Zhicheng knew this kind of confidential information, but he couldn't just ask a random person. Therefore, he asked another question that he was very concerned about. "Do you know what a blood curse is?"
"Blood curse?" The man looked at Zuo Zhicheng in confusion. It seemed that he could not figure out why Zuo Zhicheng knew this secret. It was not until Zuo Zhicheng cut off one of his ears that he cried out in pain. "The blood curse is a secret technique of the ghouls. They can put their life, hatred, and curse on their own blood. The stronger the ghoul, the stronger the blood curse. Once infected by this blood curse, you're dead.
"How did he do it? Hasn't anyone been saved before? "
The man smiled and looked at Zuo Zhicheng with a hint of mockery. "You can't be saved. The blood curse inherits all the power of the ghoul before it died. It will slowly infect your blood and flesh. Even if you cut it off now, it will be useless. Like the ghoul, it has a strong regenerative ability. It's also mixed with the resentment of the ghoul before it died. It's very difficult to get rid of."
"You've been cursed, haven't you?" That person looked at Zuo Zhicheng's tightly wrapped appearance, and without waiting for Zuo Zhicheng's reply, he said, "After a day of spreading, the blood curse will cover your skin, and then it will start to control the flow of all blood. The places in your body where blood flows will gradually decrease, and all your limbs and organs will gradually die and rot.
Hehehehe, I heard that those who were cursed by the blood curse couldn't bear the pain and committed suicide. Hahahaha, you're definitely going to die. If that's the case, it doesn't matter if I'm killed by you. I'll wait for you in hell! "
"Got it."
Zuo Zhicheng nodded as he chewed up the pirate's brain with a single slash, before casually placing it on a tree trunk. Then, he casually smeared some of the blood on his opponent's body and smeared it on his forehead.
This would prevent the Ghost Eagles and Yin Hounds from finding him.
