Chapter 100 Wood Carving
"Please, just kill me!" The leader of the river pirates lay on the ground and said in pain. His arm was severed, not only did he not stop the bleeding, but he was tortured by Quentin. Now his face was pale, as if he would die at any moment.

"Take him to your boat to stop the bleeding first, and then play with him slowly." Rhodes said, "I have some good ideas, and I think he will definitely like them. Baron, the cannon you mentioned last time not bad."

"What cannonball?" Baron asked suspiciously.

"It's what you said to let someone climb on the copper pillar and light a fire under the pillar so that he can feel the warmth." Rhodes winked at Baron.

"Where can I find you a copper pillar? Or give him to me, and I will slowly peel off his skin." Baron understood what Rhodes meant, and said cooperatively.

Quentin took the rope and tied the pirate leader, and then slowly got him to his boat with the rope.

"What about this ship?" Rhodes asked Quentin.

"I'll talk about it after I finish my work." Quentin was in a bad mood. After all, only a dozen of the thirty-odd crew members on his ship survived. "I'll arrange things on the ship, and you go and interrogate him first."

If this kind of thing happened to Rhodes, Rhodes felt that he would definitely go crazy.

Rhodes followed Quentin back to the deck of the Flyer, and the few people who came up to help before all ran into the cabin, trying to find some money.

Every room was searched by Rhodes. These river thieves were very poor and didn't see a single gold coin. Rhodes took a few silver coins by chance, but he didn't bother to take copper coins.

The deck was full of stumped limbs and arms, Misaier and several crew members were helping the wounded crew members bandage their wounds, and several crew members were crying bitterly while hugging the bodies of their dead brothers.

Seeing such a scene, Baron turned around and kicked the river pirate leader on the ground. The river pirate leader was kicked into the air before he fell heavily to the ground and let out a painful whine.

"Don't kick him to death, I still have something to ask him." Rhode reminded.

He felt that there might be other reasons behind this.

"Are you going to interrogate him?" Michelle just happened to bandage the wound of a crew member and stood up and asked.

Rhodes nodded, he took out the wooden sculpture and handed it to Michelle to see and asked

"Do you know what this is?"

Michel held the wooden carving in his hand and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see anything.She closed her eyes and frowned tightly to feel it spiritually.

"Forget it, let's ask him directly." Michelle opened her eyes and said, she returned the wood carving to Rhodes, a ball of golden light shot out from her hand and landed on the forehead of the river pirate leader, and the golden light completely sank into his head inside.

"Next, you have to tell the truth about everything we ask you." Misail said to the leader of the river pirates.

The leader of the river pirates nodded dumbly, his eyes completely lost their energy, as if he had been hypnotized.

Michel looked at Rhodes and the others, meaning to let them ask.

"As robbers, why don't you focus on robbery, but murder?" Rhodes asked.

The leader of the river pirates seemed to have had some ideological struggle before answering.

"We are also forced to do nothing. Each of us has to kill at least two people every month. If we don't, we will be tortured."

"What torture?" Rhodes asked immediately, he raised the wood carving in his hand and asked again, "Is it this?"

The leader of the river pirates glanced at the wood carving and nodded.

"How does it torture you?" Rhodes asked again.

"If anyone fails to complete the task, the wood carving will produce black light and drill into his body, and then that person will feel the pain of being eaten by countless rats until he completes the task. Whether we complete the task or not, we They can only stay on this river." The leader of the river pirates replied.

"Why didn't you try to destroy this wooden sculpture?" Baron asked.

"We tried it, hacked it with an ax, burned it with fire, threw it on the bank and sailed away. No matter what we do, it finally came back to me." The leader of the river pirates replied.

"This should be a token of a certain evil god, or it can be said to be a sacred object. They must have accidentally signed a contract with that evil god." Misaier said beside him.

"Then can you destroy it?" Rhodes asked.

Michel shook his head, "I don't know, I'd better keep asking him, the divine spell will be invalid soon."

"Where did you get this statue?" Michel asked the leader of the river pirates.

"We were just ordinary mercenaries before, and then we got a treasure map from a corpse. This treasure map led us to the river, and we asked around along the river. In the tavern, we had to Knowing that the destination of this treasure map may be the treasure of the River Pirate King. Finally, we have gone through untold hardships and finally found the location of the treasure. In addition to countless treasures, there is also this wooden carving. After moving out all the treasures, I found that all the treasures disappeared, only this wooden carving and the curse it brought..." The leader of the river pirates said blankly.

"Give him a good time." Quentin said beside him. He just finished dealing with the matters on the ship and returned here.

Baron nodded, picked up a sharp sword and cut off the head of the river pirate leader.

The weather is so hot, even if he is not killed now, he will die of wound infection, unless Michelle treats him with divine magic.

But this is obviously impossible.

"Let's find a way to get rid of this wood carving," Rhodes said.

Balon took his sword and chopped the wood carving. The wood carving was cut in half, and then restored to its original shape.

"Can your magic destroy it?" Baron turned to look at Michelle.

"Let me try." Michelle said, a beam of light appeared in the middle of her palm, and the beam of light shone on the wood carving, and the wood carving was destroyed.

But only after a while, the woodcarving reappeared.

"I can't do it either. The owner of this wood carving is just a creature who wants to collect faith and become a god with his soul. Although its power may not be comparable to that of the Night King, the material of this wood carving is very special, and it contains a lot of souls and resentments. .Didn't you destroy such a fetish before?" Michelle looked at Rhodes.

Rhodes picked up the horizontal knife and slashed on the wood carving. The result was the same as Baron's. It was split in half and then restored to its original shape.

He recalled the time when the mask of the god was destroyed. At that time, black flames spewed out from the "Wise Men's Calamity", and then he slashed the protective cover and mask of the death cult priest with a sword.

He has never used the black flame a few times, and now he can only try "Wise Men's Calamity".

After that battle, the "Wise Men's Calamity" was burned by black flames and could no longer be used. Then, at that time, Hamer was bored and always dozed off during the journey, so he took the wreckage for research, and kept it with him for preservation. Rhodes almost forgot about it.

"Is Harmer awake? I'll go down and find him."
