Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 207 Pain Gives Life
The fighting power of these executioners is not strong, and the armor on their bodies does not seem to be used for defense.

The players who fought against them quickly discovered their characteristics.

regeneration.

When they are injured, no matter which part of the body is injured, they will regenerate and heal quickly.

This shocked Li Miao and others.

Fortunately, although these executioners have strong vitality, their strength is not strong, and the highest is only slag grade.

The players quickly subdued it.

[Special mission updated: Ask the executioner about his situation. ]

The fighting died down.

However, except for the executioner leader and the executioner who just spoke next to him, the other executioners were struggling very violently.

Fortunately, there were ropes for sale in the Lingzhu shop, so the players tied them up one by one.

After asking Mang Zige and others to be alert to the surrounding situation, he came to the executioner leader who had a painful look on his face from a distance and asked him questions.

"What's your name?"

The executioner leader looked painful and did not answer his question. Instead, he said in a hoarse voice: "Outsider... run away..."

He seemed to be mentally unclear and confused, as if he was fighting against something.

But it is not difficult to see from his words that he had no intention of killing the players who suddenly appeared, he just wanted them to leave, as if there was a greater danger besides them.

Seeing this, Rogge came up and nodded to the distance: "Let me try."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and the execution glove emitted a soft glow, and pressed it on the forehead of the executioner leader.

Mitres Clarity.

After a moment, the executioner leader's painful expression seemed to ease a little.

After looking at him for a moment, Roger seemed to realize something and narrowed his eyes.

The next moment, he stretched out his hand, put two fingers together, and inserted them directly into the other person's chest with a "pop".

Yuan Fang frowned slightly, but did not stop.

“Fuck, Brother Jiao, don’t…” The others were shocked when they saw this and wanted to stop it.

But the next second they saw that Rogge took out a black and red ball of flesh from the chest of the executioner leader, which was still beating alive.

After the ball of flesh was peeled off, the pain on the executioner leader's face was relieved a lot.

"What the hell is this?"

When he saw this on the shore, he immediately grimaced and no longer cared to consider why Rogge would learn this useless technique.

After putting away the meat ball in his hand, Rogge looked at the executioner leader who was gradually waking up.

"feel better now?"

The executioner leader still looked a little weak at this time, but at least he seemed conscious. After taking a hard look at the players and the executioners on the ground, he finally spoke hoarsely.

But surprisingly, his first words were about wanting to get back what Rogge had just taken from him.

"Outsider... please... give me back what I just saw..."

This shocked all the players.

"Is this NPC crazy? He still wants to stuff that thing back into his body?" Heishan felt unbelievable.

Li Miao and others looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Seeing that he was extremely weak, Yuanfang thought for a moment, then took out a [Fish Ball] that could restore his strength from the inventory and fed it into his mouth.

But the executioner leader quickly spat it out.

"Hmm?" Li Miao raised his brows: "Bones are so hard?"

But the other party's words soon made him embarrassed.

"Speaking...can't eat..."

After saying that, he weakly glanced at the mouthparts on his chest, which looked very much like the feeding mouth of a starfish.

"My mouth... is in my belly..."

"..."Li Miao.

"Haha, you idiot, you're killing me with laughter." Shangan couldn't hold back his laughter and patted him on the shoulder.

Yuanfang silently fed the fish balls into the other person's stomach and gave him a few more.

After a while, the executioner leader, who had recovered some strength, stood up with difficulty and exhaled.

"…Thank you for your kindness, outsider."

"This is the Golden Sand Islands, and I am the leader of the Starfish Tribe, Sandy Reef."

After saying this, he didn't want to reveal more, but just sighed.

"Leave, outsiders. You are not bad people. We appreciate your kindness, but we need to rely on Lord Jinsha to survive. This is the only way..."

"Don't waste your lives again, leave as soon as possible..."

His eyes were dull and he seemed to have lost hope long ago.

It was not difficult to hear from his words that the players were not the first to come here, and someone had tried to rescue them before.

After hearing this, all the players frowned, confused, and had different reactions.

"We can only survive by relying on these cruel tortures? What does this mean?" Shangshan looked at Li Miao.

Li Miao touched his chin: "It seems to be related to the so-called Lord of Jinsha."

"What do you mean by giving away your life in vain? As long as there is health bar, God will kill you." The Black Mountain Demon was full of confidence.

"Will this NPC drop any good stuff if I kill him..." Niu Niu muttered. His train of thought was completely out of sync with everyone else's.

Li Miao and others who heard this quickly glared at him.

"Oh, I was just thinking about it. Of course I know that this NPC is very important, otherwise I would have taken action long ago. Don't worry." Niu Niu smiled awkwardly.

Of course, their words did not fall into the ears of Shajiao of the Starfish Clan. After all, it was Rogge and Yuanfang who were talking to each other.

"Anyway, please tell me about the situation here. Your predicament may not be unsolvable."

Rogge said directly.

He had already examined the meat ball just now, and it was just one of the manifestations of the chaotic forces in this area.

If we have to give it a name, perhaps we can call it - pain.

This power is obviously inextricably linked to the Golden Sand Islands and the Golden Sand Lord at the mouth of the sand reef.

"...Okay, but you have to promise me that you will return that thing to me after I finish speaking."

Sandy Key sighed.

Roger nodded in agreement.

Soon, Shajiao told the story of the situation here.

The starfish tribe has lived on this archipelago of golden sands for generations and is owned by the canonized Lord of Golden Sands.

But with the sudden arrival of disaster and the dark border, the past life is gone forever.

The border of darkness is unreachable. The strange storms and black holes that appear frequently are constantly depriving the lives of the starfish people. Even under the leadership of the most powerful Lord Golden Sands, they are still unable to contend.

But that's not the scariest thing.

What really makes the starfish tribe despair is the polluted land and sea water.

The fish and shrimp mutate, and if eaten they will develop terrible diseases, or become insane, or rot, or die from parasites.

Even if you take the risk of killing it, it would be difficult to extract even a trace of spiritual material from it.

The ocean no longer produces the seaweed and kelp they depend on for survival, and the land can no longer grow crops...

food.

The starfish family has no food source.

Although they have strong regenerative abilities, regeneration also requires physical strength as a basis.

As the owner of the Jinsha Islands and the only nobleman in this sea area, Lord Jinsha must find hope to survive both out of his own survival needs and out of responsibility.

Just when they were desperate, something happened that changed the situation.

Lord Jinsha's wife and children died.

The specific reason is unknown, but on that day, Lord Jinsha came to the remaining members of the Starfish Tribe covered in blood.

He opened his hands, bringing bloody hope.

pain.

As long as they take the meat balls and continue to cause pain, Lord Jinsha can bring them food and meat to keep them alive.

The Starfish Tribe did as they were told.

The pain of the body brings them food, and the pain of the soul provides them with protection, keeping the dark holes and strange storms away.

The executioners of the Starfish Clan would be rotated every once in a while, and the targets of execution were usually their wives and children.

This maximizes the pain.

After an unknown amount of time, some starfish members could not bear it anymore and committed suicide in various ways.

Eventually, the Starfish Clan became what they are today.

They did... survive.

And it is unknown how long ago that similar outsiders were seen on the sand reef.

They also want to help the Starfish Tribe, and go looking for Lord Sands despite Sandy's dissuasion.

But Sandy Reef never saw them again...

After saying that, Shajiao looked towards the evil sand statue in the center of the village.

A sharp sword pierced through his head and into his body, and his face was filled with agony.

Pain gives life.

"..."

After hearing Sha Jiao's words, all the players fell silent involuntarily.

Li Miao's brain seemed to freeze up on the spot and he was unable to react.

To be honest, he initially thought that these executioners were evil monsters who were torturing and killing those being tortured.

Only after hearing the Sand Reef chieftain ask them to flee did they begin to have doubts, and then they were shocked to discover that they were actually from the same tribe.

After hearing the title Lord Jinsha, he subconsciously thought that this was a story about aristocrats oppressing the common people.

But it was not until the chief of the Sand Reef tribe told the truth that he suddenly realized that the tragic situation in the Sands Islands had nothing to do with good or evil, or oppression.

It's just a fragile life, and it's a difficult choice that I had to make in this disaster...

"...Were those monsters sent by Lord Jinsha? Why did they attack us?" The Black Mountain Demon asked with a frown.

"I have no idea about that..."

"Maybe you are a threat to food safety, or maybe he is like us..."

Sandy Key sighed.

"...He probably lost his former sanity in the torment of pain..."

"What about the Broken Core? Have you heard of it?" Niu Niu asked.

Shajiao shook his head, as if he had never heard of this word.

The atmosphere fell into silence, with only the faint flickering firelight.

Looking at the expressions of the people in front of him, Shajiao smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“Although I don’t know how you crossed the dark border and came here, I’m afraid you can’t change anything.”

"If you insist on looking for Lord Jinsha, I can't stop you. He is in the sand castle in that direction..."

"But if you can still go back, it's best to go back the same way..."

"I wish you... that the fireworks will last forever..."

After saying this, Shajiao looked tired and numb, and stretched out his hand towards Rogge.

"Please, return that thing to me..."

Rogge didn't say anything, he just took out the black and red ball of flesh and handed it to the other party.

In silence, Shajiao said goodbye to them. After being tied up for a while, the executioners calmed down a lot. After being released, they followed Shajiao without saying a word and started to cruelly torture their relatives again.

The wails and screams echoed again, no different from before they arrived.

The rest of the people were silent. Li Miao still didn't quite understand. Niu Niu was telling Brother Mangzi, who didn't hear what had happened, about what had just happened.

'This area has not become like the one in the dungeon. Is it because of the influence of the Broken Core or those strange powers?'

"There's no way to anchor here. If I want to absorb these starfish, I have to do it myself..."

"But the Sand Reef Chieftain gives me a feeling that something is not right. Is it because of the erosion of a strange power..."

Rogge thought secretly in his heart.

This area is obviously different from the copy area, but unfortunately, the spirit candle cannot anchor it.

It is possible that he could take these starfish away, and he could afford to raise them, but it would probably cost him a huge price, and he might not even be able to take them all away.

So he did not choose to act blindly, but returned the strange thing to the reef.

"It seems that I have to find that so-called Lord of the Golden Sands first..."

Just as Rogge was thinking, someone in the distance suddenly spoke.

"Everyone, what do you think?"

He was quietly watching everyone from a distance. Although he was asking questions, it seemed as if he was asking with the answer.

"...Senior Yuanfang, what do you mean by the credibility of the words of the Sand Reef Chief?"

Tianji stroked his chin and asked back.

"All right, tell me what you think." Yuanfang nodded.

"Wait a moment, let me sort it out." Li Miao was still sorting out the information he had just received.

The landing on the side is similar.

These two stupid college students' brains are obviously a bit rusty after the college entrance examination.

"I feel like something is wrong. There's a chance he's lying."

Wang Dao frowned.

Niu Niu, who was standing by, brightened up his eyes when he heard this and asked him the specific reason.

But Wang Dao responded, "I don't know, it's based on my intuition," which left him speechless.

"There's something illogical about what he said."

Tianji suddenly spoke.

"According to him, this place is purgatory. Under such circumstances, when he saw us outsiders, he didn't even ask how we survived, nor did he show any intention of leaving with us."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Yes, this is obviously unreasonable.

A man was trapped in an ice hole and shivering with cold. When he saw a stranger, he didn't even ask how he got there and didn't even think about leaving?

Was it that the Sand Reef Chieftain was tortured to the point of insanity or was there... another reason?
"Fuck, this NPC actually dared to lie to us!"

Brother Mangzi suddenly got angry.

"Let's go back and kill him."

Niu Niu said something out of the blue.

As he said this, he pretended to turn around, and Brother Mangzi followed him without saying a word.

"Wait a minute, don't be anxious, the boss in the distance hasn't spoken yet."

The Black Mountain Demon quickly stopped them, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
