The sky was bright, and the morning light from the east rolled out a golden light against the sea, which was brilliant and brilliant.
The expedition fleet of the East China Sea Grand Palace docked outside Dolphin Island looks like a group of huge sea beasts that work day and night entrenched on the sea not far east of Dolphin Island.
The flagship of the fleet is a large ship with a three-story ship island. It is the giant leader of this group of behemoths and has a huge momentum.
On the deck of the flagship's bow are four huge main guns, as thick as a bucket, lined up side by side. The black muzzle stared eagerly at the Dolphin Island opposite, ready to destroy everything it saw with ruthless artillery fire.
The flagship's command room is located on the second floor of the ship island, and its interior is as spacious as a hall.
At this time, General Boluo in golden armor was sitting on a large gilded throne in the center of the command room. The seat is engraved with exquisite patterns of scaled dragons, and the two armrests happen to be the heads of two scaled dragons with angry mouths and teeth.
Behind the golden-armored general, on the left and right sides, stood four tall soldiers wearing leather armor and neat military appearances.
The golden-armored general on the seat gently tapped the dragon head-shaped armrest with the index finger of his right hand, making a subtle thumping sound, while listening attentively to the report of the person standing opposite him.
The person who reported it was none other than the black-faced deputy general Mo Chen who captured Sharlong last night.
Mo Chen was still neatly dressed in silver armor, but his face looked a little tired.
"Reporting to General Boluo, three of the seven people who attacked the fleet last night were captured by our side, including the main criminal, and the other four were killed by our artillery fire on the spot. Ten of our soldiers were seriously injured. Under treatment. Only the deck and side of the No. 6 ship were slightly burned by the explosive sesame oil thrown by these people. It has been repaired and the other ships are intact." Vice Admiral Blackface reported in detail.
"Well, has the identity of the main criminal been confirmed?" General Jin Jia nodded slightly after hearing this, and then asked.
"My subordinate was incompetent and interrogated the whole night, but the principal criminal was extremely stubborn. He used all the eighteen torture methods specially used to interrogate prisoners, but he would not let go. I am afraid that if the interrogation continues, I will kill the principal criminal. When we couldn't get any clues, we decided to stop the interrogation on our own initiative." The black-faced deputy general said, his originally lowered head buried deeper.
"Oh? A man who can withstand eighteen tortures is considered a man. It doesn't matter if he lives temporarily. Besides, a dead man can only be thrown into the sea to feed the fish. It is of no use to our mission. We want it. It's accurate information." General Jin Jia didn't mean to blame the other party.
Several soldiers standing behind the golden armored general heard it clearly. Although they did not dare to speak out, when they heard the words "Eighteen Ways of Torture", they all looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
The eighteen torture methods on the expedition fleet were copied from the torture in the Heavenly Prison of the East China Sea Grand Palace, and were even more severe.
The first one is the killing stick.
The iron rod weighing a hundred kilograms was swung up, counted as a hundred blows. Many people, even warriors or monks with cultivation levels below the Peiyuan realm, are either dead or disabled within the hundredth killing power stick.
And when the killing stick landed on Shark Face's body with a thumping sound, Shark Face smiled and said sarcastically: "Is this a tickling thing for children?"
…
The eighth path is the soul-eating whip.
The iron whip blessed with soul-breaking materials will not only break the skin and flesh when struck, but will also directly destroy the soul.
The whip marks were like twisted blood centipedes lying on the exposed shoulders and back of the shark's face, bloody and terrifying. At this time, the corners of the shark's face were slightly raised, his fangs were half-bared, and he stared at his round fish eyes and said: "Take it as hard as you can, but if I blink, I will lose."
The fish eyes of the shark face have no eyelids at all, and he cannot blink at all. He is just so stubborn.
…
The eighteenth path is the Soul-Breaking Nail.
As the last form of torture, it is also the most severe. Nails made from poisonous sea urchin spines unique to the deep sea of the East China Sea were driven down from the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, all the way to the limbs and torso. There were 108 nails in total, which just stung 108 important acupuncture points. Not to mention the pain of the nail, the severe pain caused by the sting of the sea urchin is like being bitten by thousands of ants at the same time. The meridians all over the victim's body feel as if they have been torn into shreds of paper. The higher the cultivation level, the greater the damage.
A total of one hundred and eight soul-breaking nails were driven into all the acupoints on Shark Face, making him look like a hedgehog covered in blood. But Shark Face only said: "Can it hurt more? I feel so damn sore right now."
"I know that you are a member of the Sharktooth Clan, and you are probably the leader. The tattoo on your body reveals your identity. Who planned this operation? Is there anyone else? Tell me quickly so that you don't have to suffer this cruelty again. The pain of soul nails." The black-faced deputy general who was the chief judge of Shark-face said sternly.
But the answer he got was only silence, silence and stubbornness as deep as the bottom of the East China Sea.
Perhaps, the pain caused by these one hundred and eight soul-breaking nails cannot be compared with the pain of hatred that Shark Face buried deep in his heart.
When Shark Face's consciousness began to blur in the irresistible pain, there was a voice in his mind, saying proudly: "Mother, Father, your child Shalong has not embarrassed you or the Sharktooth Clan. , the shark tooth clan is a stubborn clan, a clan that will never admit defeat..."
In Shark Face's heart, there is always a shark-tooth tribe flag fluttering in the wind. The blue shark on the flag is wagging its tail and is stubborn and unyielding. Just like the first time he saw this flag, it was flying high and never lowered.
This is the first person that black-faced deputy general Mo Chen has seen who can survive eighteen rounds of torture. He couldn't help but be shocked, and secretly admired Shark Face for being a pure man from the East China Sea.
The black-faced lieutenant general even had an inexplicable thought in his mind. If the Blackfish clan was so stubborn and did not succumb to the East China Sea Grand Palace, maybe the Blackfish clan could still live freely in the East China Sea, even if there were only a few people. .
"Give me freedom or give me death..."
The black-faced deputy general who turned around and left whispered in a very small voice.
After walking out of the interrogation room, the black-faced deputy general immediately ordered: "Please ask the best doctor in the treatment team. This prisoner cannot die."
…
"Just tell me what information you have gained." General Jin Jia asked decisively. His experience led him to conclude that the vast majority of people would not be able to withstand the eighteen tortures.
"The other two captured accomplices have confessed. The seven people who attacked the fleet this time are all members of the Shark Tooth Clan on Dolphin Island. The main culprit is their clan leader, named "Shark Long". Dolphin Island There are more than 700 members of the Shark Tooth Clan on board." The black-faced deputy general quickly reported.
"The Sharktooth Clan, is it the Sharktooth Clan that has been ordered to be exterminated by the Grand Palace for decades?" General Jin Jia's eyes lit up when he heard the words Sharktooth Clan, and he seemed a little surprised.
"It should be this Shark Tooth Tribe. Each of them has old Shark Tooth Tribe tattoos on their bodies." The black-faced deputy general confirmed.
"I didn't expect that the Sharktooth Tribe, who had been chased by our Grand Palace in the East China Sea for decades, was still alive. They came to live on the same island as the Dolphin Spirit Tribe on the shores of the East China Sea. This was an unexpected gain. This Sharklong will be escorted back to the Grand Palace. , and handed it over to His Majesty the Great Emperor himself. As for the other shark-tooth tribesmen on the island, wait until we complete this mission and capture the three key criminals Yun Qiaoer, Xu Yang and Liu Haiyu. We will give these shark-tooth tribesmen Let's bury the tribesmen on boats and cannons." General Jin Jia said calmly.
"Ship cannon burial" is a common method used by the Grand Palace expedition fleet. To put it bluntly, it is to use the naval guns on the fleet to blast the opponent to nothing.
The fingers of the golden-armored general's right hand no longer tapped the armrest of the seat, but were placed on his chin, as if he was thinking about something with his heart.
After a moment, he stood up from the large seat with a swish. The cloak behind him was fluttering, and the scaly dragon totem painted on it showed its teeth and claws, showing its fierce look.
"Yun Qiao'er has been captured for three days. There is still no movement of the other two criminals Xu Yang and Liu Haiyu, but a shark dragon has been attracted. This means that Xu Yang and Liu Haiyu are probably not on Dolphin Island. Or they think they are not strong enough and have already looked for other helpers. And we cannot rush to search in Zhongyuan Continent to avoid direct conflict with the sects on Zhongyuan Continent. As for Qing Shuishui and Monk Hai, People from the Zhongyuan Continent cannot be completely trusted. They must come up with a comprehensive strategy." General Jin Jia said with murderous intent in his eyes, like two lightning bolts sweeping across his eyes.
"Follow your orders," the black-faced deputy general said repeatedly.
"Pass my order to use the "golden crystals" on the fleet to set up a "golden crystal formation" here. Tie Yun Qiaoer to the eye of the formation and I will personally guard it. The other three formations?"
After a pause, General Jin Jia continued to make arrangements: "The first position will be guarded by the Seventh Prince's men, Kemba and Bamu. It is up to these two to confirm the identity of the prisoner. After all, the rest of us No one has seen Xu Yang and Liu Haiyu. The second position is guarded by Qing Shuishui and Hai Monk, so let them fight to the death. The third position is guarded by Mo Chen, who leads the guards. Regardless of whether there is only Xu on the other side. Yang, there are still others in Liu Haiyu, as long as they dare to come to rescue Yun Qiaoer, none of them can leave."
…
On the surface of the East China Sea, there were thirty warships from the expedition fleet. Every ten ships formed a team, forming horns with each other, forming a semi-enclosed, larger area in the middle.
It only took half a day to build four golden crystal towers that were five or six feet tall in the area surrounded by the fleet. One of the taller ones is in the middle, and the other three are in front of the three groups of fleets.
There is a powerful golden energy flowing between the four golden crystal towers, like a golden scaled dragon moving non-stop.
Under the crystal tower in the middle, Yun Qiaoer, dressed in white, was bound hand and foot by heavy East China Sea fine iron chains. At this time, her eyes were closed tightly, and her originally handsome face was a little pale, like a helpless white flower in the cold wind, falling into a coma.
The golden-armored general Boluo laid out the "Golden Crystal Formation" and waited for the fish to take the bait.
