The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 331: Chapter 275, Bloodthirsty Twin Blades

Upon hearing this number,

Wu Heng and Xi Ligui both frowned.

The pirates they had just killed were at least two hundred strong.

And yet, they said there were still so many people on the island.

The pirates’ strength was not small indeed.

At least, there were more than the bandits on most parts of the mainland.

One last question.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and then asked, “Where is ‘Sha Naila’ trapped by you now?”

The corpse answered, “Cock-Tail Island!”

Having said that, the corpse lay back down.

…

Wu Heng looked at ‘Xi Ligui’ and asked, “Have you heard of the Bloody Hand Pirate Group?”

Xi Ligui’s face grew grave, “I’ve heard of them. They are a sizable pirate group known for their brutality and violence.”

They had encountered a notorious pirate group.

Moreover, known for their cruelty and violence, there was even less chance of settling this matter peacefully.

“Not without gains, at least ‘Sha Naila’ is still alive,” Wu Heng stated.

This ‘Sha Naila’ must have something to do with the trading fleet.

The ransom was all raised by them.

Both the Steward and ‘Xi Ligui’ were also very concerned about whether this person was still alive.

“What’s our next step?” Xi Ligui looked over.

“No rush, let’s interrogate the next corpse,” said Wu Heng.

Continuing to cast “Communicate with the Dead”, the second corpse sat up straight.

Wu Heng asked, “How many high-level professionals are in your pirate group?”

“The captain and the first mate, both are high-level professionals.”

“What level is your captain?”

“A Level 15 professional.”

Level 15, a fourth-tier professional, one level below Skull Crusher.

This was already a rare powerhouse.

Wu Heng thought for a moment, then continued to ask, “How many people are stationed on Cock-Tail Island?”

“About six hundred and more.”

The previous corpse had said that there were five or six hundred people in the pirate group.

This one said there were over six hundred people just on Cock-Tail Island.

They were all on Cock-Tail Island.

“How long will you stay on Cock-Tail Island?”

“One night, leaving in the morning.”

Last question.

“Where to next?”

“I don’t know.”

With the five questions concluded, the corpse laid back down.

They had asked everything they wanted to know.

In total, there were over six hundred people on Cock-Tail Island, with the highest level being the Level 15 captain.

The best course of action would be to return and call for reinforcements.

Knowing the location, it should not be difficult to exterminate a pirate group.

But the adversaries would only stay on Cock-Tail Island for one night.

They would leave the next day.

Bringing the message back and then hurrying over, the opponents would have already left.

“Tonight, we sneak in and rescue the person,” Xi Ligui said directly.

Wu Heng asked, “What’s the plan, tell me!”

“No plan, Cock-Tail Island is not small, they can’t guard such a large coastal line, we’ll find a spot to land, and then sneak in,” said Xi Ligui.

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow.

He thought she had some kind of tool or skill.

Turns out, it was a blind rush in the dark.

This pirate group, to have built something this big, clearly weren’t fools.

How could they allow such an easy loophole to be exploited?

“Got a map?”

Xi Ligui took out a sea chart from her Space Ring, spreading it out on the table.

Pointing at an island, “This here is Cock-Tail Island.”

From the scale of it, the surface area of Cock-Tail Island really wasn’t big; its shape didn’t resemble a cocktail either, looking more like a chicken’s butt.

Wu Heng took out a tablet, raised it up high, and snapped a photo.

Then he looked back at the map.

After pondering for a while, he laid out his plan.

“We send a few people back to notify the association; we’ll land on the island. I’ll use the carrion to attract all the people on the island together, while you lead the others directly onto the island to rescue them,” he proposed.

Xi Ligui frowned at the map for a good while before looking up, “Will it work?”

“Let’s try, if it doesn’t work, at least we’ve done our best. Then we’ll just retreat safely,” Wu Heng replied.

Xi Ligui gave the map another glance and finally clenched her teeth in agreement.

“Alright!”

…

Cock-Tail Island. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Inside a small stone hut near the port,

a few pirates huddled around a fire, getting sleepy.

“How come the ones going for the ransom haven’t returned yet? They better not have taken the money and run off,” one murmured.

“You all know the Boss’s methods; they wouldn’t dare run,” another said.

“Do those people really think that they can just bring the money to ransom someone?”

“The Boss said that woman is very important; they wouldn’t give up easily,” a pirate replied.

“I saw her, she really does look nice, a pity she sealed herself in stone. Otherwise, after the Boss had his fun, we could…”

Before he could finish, a strange surge of sounds approached from the direction of the port.

Everyone instantly fell silent, got up, and peered into the darkness through the window.

The moonlight shone on the sea, revealing only the splashes of waves, with no signs of any ships or suspicious things approaching.

But that odd sound kept growing louder.

Hu~!

Someone pulled a burning stick from the fire and hurled it outward.

In the orange-red glow of the fire,

figures could be seen emerging from the sea bed.

With each step forward, they revealed their decayed forms.

Walking out from the sea bed?

The pirates’ eyes widened in terror at the sight unfolding before them.

“It’s ‘Beverly’ and the others… What the hell happened to them? Damn, they’ve turned into carrion,” someone shouted.

The carrion that emerged from the sea started to charge at the sound of the roar.

Weapons in hand,

they moved stiffly forward.

They quickly reached the stone hut and began clashing with the pirates inside.

One of them jumped out the window on the other side and escaped.
