Chapter 416 Golden Crystal Array

It was dawn, and the morning light in the east rolled out a golden light on the sea surface, brilliant and splendid.

The expedition fleet of the East China Sea Grand Palace, anchored outside the Tuling Island, was like a group of huge sea beasts that lingered on the sea surface not far from the east side of the Tuling Island day and night.

The flagship of the fleet was a large ship with a three-story ship island. It was the giant leader of this group of beasts, with a huge momentum.

Four huge main guns as thick as buckets were lined up on the deck of the flagship's bow. The black muzzles stared at the Tuling Island opposite, ready to destroy everything it saw with ruthless artillery fire at any time.

The command room of the flagship was located on the second floor of the ship island, and it was as spacious as a palace.

At this time, General Boro, the golden armor, was sitting on a large gilded throne in the center of the command room. The seat was carved with exquisite scale dragon patterns, and the two armrests happened to be two angry scale dragon heads.

On the left and right sides behind the golden-armored general, there stood four tall, leather-armored, neatly dressed personal soldiers.

The golden-armored general on the chair tapped the dragon-head-shaped armrest with his right index finger, making a subtle thumping sound, while listening attentively to the report of the person standing opposite him.

The person who reported was the black-faced deputy general Mo Chen who captured Shark Long last night.

Mo Chen was still dressed neatly in silver armor, but his face looked a little tired.

"Report to General Boro, three of the seven people who attacked the fleet last night were captured by us, including the main culprit, and the other four were killed on the spot by our artillery fire. Ten of our soldiers were seriously injured and are being treated. Only the deck and side of the sixth ship were slightly burned by the explosive sesame oil thrown by these people. It has been repaired and the other ships are intact." The black-faced deputy general reported in detail.

"Well, has the identity of the main culprit been confirmed?" After listening, the golden-armored general nodded slightly and asked.

"I am incompetent. I have been interrogating him for a whole night, but the main criminal is extremely stubborn. I have used all the 18 tortures specially used for interrogating prisoners, but he just won't give in. I am afraid that if I continue to interrogate him, even if I kill him, I won't get any clues, so I stopped the interrogation on my own initiative." The black-faced deputy general said, and his head, which was originally lowered, was buried deeper.

"Oh? He can withstand 18 tortures, so he is considered a man. It doesn't matter if he is spared for the time being. Besides, a dead person can only be thrown into the sea to feed the fish. It is useless for our mission this time. What we want is accurate intelligence." General Jinjia did not mean to blame him.

The soldiers standing behind General Jinjia heard it clearly. Although they did not dare to speak, they looked at each other at the same time when they heard the words 18 tortures, and their eyes showed surprise.

The 18 tortures on the expedition fleet are copied from the tortures in the Tianlao of the East China Sea Grand Palace, and they are even more severe.

The first one is the killing stick.

The iron rod weighing 100 jin was swung up, and it was counted as 100 times. Many people, even those who were warriors or monks with cultivation, who were below the Peiyuan realm, would be either dead or disabled after the 100th killing stick.

When the killing stick fell on Shark Face's body with a thud, Shark Face laughed and sneered: "Is this a toy for tickling children?"

…

The eighth, the soul-devouring whip.

The iron whip with soul-breaking materials, when whipped, not only would the skin and flesh be torn apart, but it would also directly destroy the Yuan Soul.

The whip marks were like blood centipedes crawling on Shark Face's bare shoulders, bloody and terrifying. At this time, Shark Face's mouth corners were slightly raised, half baring his fangs, staring at his round fish eyes and said: "Just whip hard, if I blink, I will lose."

And Shark Face's fish eyes have no eyelids at all, and he will never blink at all, he is so stubborn.

…

The eighteenth, the soul-breaking nail. As the last torture, it is also the cruelest. The nails made of poisonous sea urchin spines unique to the deep sea of ​​the East China Sea are nailed from the palms and soles of the prisoner's hands to the limbs and torso, with a total of 108 nails, which just stung 108 important acupuncture points. Not to mention the pain of the nail, the severe pain caused by the sea urchin's poisonous spines is like being bitten by thousands of ants at the same time, and the meridians of the prisoner are like being torn into pieces of paper. The higher the cultivation level, the greater the damage.

A full 108 soul-breaking nails were nailed to the acupuncture points of Shark Face's body, and he looked like a hedgehog covered in blood. But Shark Face only said one sentence: "Can it hurt more? I feel so fucking sour now."

"I know you are a member of the Shark Tooth Clan, and you are probably the leader. The tattoo on your body exposes your identity. Who planned this action? Are there any other people? Tell me quickly, so as not to suffer from these soul-breaking nails again." The black-faced deputy general who presided over Shark Face said sternly.

But the answer he got was only silence, as deep and stubborn as the bottom of the East China Sea.

Perhaps, the pain brought by the 108 broken soul nails could not be compared with the pain of hatred buried deep in Shark Face's heart.

When Shark Face's consciousness began to blur in the irresistible pain, a voice in his mind said proudly: "Mother, father, your child Shark Long has not brought shame to you, nor to the Shark Tooth Clan. The Shark Tooth Clan is a stubborn clan, a clan that never admits defeat..."

In Shark Face's heart, there is always a Shark Tooth Clan flag fluttering in the wind. The blue shark on the flag is baring its teeth and shaking its tail, 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 even had an inexplicable thought in his mind. If the Blackfish tribe was so stubborn and did not surrender to the East China Sea Palace, maybe the Blackfish tribe 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 reported quickly.

"The Shark Tooth Clan, is it the Shark Tooth 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 Shark Tooth 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. , leave it to His Majesty the Great Emperor to deal with him personally. As for the other Shark Tooth Clan members on the island, we will give them to the three key criminals Yun Qiaoer, Xu Yang and Liu Haiyu after we complete this mission. Let's bury the clan members with 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, and 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 Shui Shui 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 a murderous look in his eyes, like two flashes of lightning.

"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 ever seen Xu Yang and Liu Haiyu. The second position is guarded by Qing Shuishui and Hai Monk. Let them fight to the death. The third position is guarded by Mo Chen and you will lead the guards regardless. 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 a crystal tower in the middle, Yun Qiaoer, dressed in white, was tied up. At this time, Yun Qiaoer closed her eyes tightly and fell into a coma.

The golden-armored general Boluo laid out the "Golden Crystal Formation" and waited for the fish to take the bait.
