Chapter 69: Destroying Corpse and Destroying Traces
Muke obviously did not expect Zuo Si to have such a reaction after seeing the tarantula statue, and he was suddenly stunned.
You must know that in his opinion, such a tarantula statue is already the treasure coveted by many adventurers and mercenaries.
Summoning it at a critical moment can often change the outcome of a battle instantly.
"Yelnia! Let this guy see the power you have now."
Zuo Si directly gave orders to his shadow servants.
The female assassin raised her left hand and crossed her fingers gently towards the corridor.
The next second...
A large group of things that looked like the shadows of twisted and deformed humanoid creatures rushed through the walls, floor and ceiling with a roar.
The number of them is almost exactly the same as the number of dead people in this house.
There were even two who just got up from the corpses at the door.
Without a doubt!
These twisted monsters are all shadow creatures without exception.
After seeing the extremely shocked expression on Muke's face, Zuo Si explained in a casual tone: "Any shadow creature has the ability to create spawn, just like a vampire.
In other words, any living creature killed by Yelnia can turn into a brand new shadow within ten seconds to a few minutes.
New shadows can be created through killing, and more and more shadows will snowball.
And these shadows are completely under her control and dominance.
As long as I am willing, I can even build a shadow army in a short time.
Tell me, is there anything in your collection that can rival this power?"
For a moment, Muke was silent.
Because he really can't think of any chips he has on hand to exchange for Yelnia who has such a powerful ability.
The most important thing is that he understood the meaning of the sentence "When you are completely dead, the really interesting part has just begun."
If killed by Yelnia, he will be transformed into a shadow creature.
And he is still the lowest level of shadow cannon fodder with no control over his mind.
"Hahahaha! Stop showing off that ridiculous cleverness!
Do you know?
From the moment you sent someone to assassinate Soth, today's outcome was destined.
He is not the kind of stupid spellcaster who is blinded by immediate benefits.
He will not let go of anyone who tries to kill or harm him.
The reason why I can survive until now, apart from being able to pay a large ransom, is mainly because the battle that led to the annihilation of the entire army was not started by me.
But he thought that I and my pirates were a threat, and then he took the initiative to attack.
But you are different. You have violated his taboo."
Hallet gloated and mocked.
The pirate captain will never forget Zuo Si's decisive attitude of killing on the desert island.
It has nothing to do with good or evil, it's just that I don't want to leave any trouble or consequences for myself.
In Hallett's eyes, this kind of person is the most terrifying!
Because it is almost impossible for them to be bribed by interests, let alone accept mediation or negotiation. Once they are provoked, it means they will fight to the death.
"Can I exchange my private collection for a normal death?"
Realizing that he could not save Yelnia, Muke immediately retreated and did the next best thing.
He doesn't want to live in this cursed posture forever, immersed in the negative emotions of pain and hatred all day long and unable to extricate himself.
In fact, due to the existence of gods, death is not a terrible thing for most mortals with faith.
Because after death, the soul will be picked up by the god it believes in, reincarnated as a petitioner, and continue to exist in another form.
In contrast, they are more afraid of being transformed into shadows, undead creatures such as vampires, which bear the curse of immortality until one day they are killed and can be freed by purification.
Zuo Si stared at the lifelike tarantula statue on the table and thought for a moment, then quickly responded: "Okay. Write down the locations of your secret warehouses, and I'll let Hallet give you a pleasure."
"Deal!"
Mook didn't even have the intention of bargaining, so he immediately pulled out a piece of paper and quickly wrote a few lines of small words on it with a quill dipped in ink.
After washing, he gently dried the remaining moisture on the writing, rolled up the parchment and handed it to Zuo Si, then turned around and said to the pirate captain: "Come on! Kill me! Then the grudge between us will end."
It’s written off.”
"Write it off in one stroke? You bastard caused me to lose a lot of money! And the intelligence network from Calimport to Manon, Mylatma!" Hallet spat viciously.
What a joke!
If you can even forgive such a thing, how can you control those ambitious subordinates?
If possible, he even hoped to use the most cruel method to dig out Muke's heart alive in front of all his men.
But unfortunately, Hallet's current status is just a prisoner and he has no decision-making power.
Perhaps he had given up everything before he died. Muke looked very relaxed and asked with a sneer: "Yours?
The intelligence network from Port Calim to Manon was established by me.
I also accumulated this money slowly through trade.
You did almost nothing except giving me the starting capital of gold coins at the beginning."
"Even so, it's still mine!
Even you yourself belong to me!
Don’t forget, it was me who bought you for 160 gold coins.
According to the laws of Calimport, you are still my slave to this day."
When he said these words, the pirate captain's eyes revealed a malicious and cruel light.
He deliberately opened the other party's scars just because he wanted to see the pain and anger on the betrayer's face.
Unfortunately, Zuo Si was not interested in watching the scene of the two biting each other. He simply snapped his fingers to make the [Activation Rope] fall off. At the same time, he picked up a dagger that fell on the ground and threw it over. He urged impatiently: "
Don't waste time, solve it quickly, I have to go back to the hotel to sleep."
"Huh! You're lucky!"
Seeing Zuo Si speak, Hallet did not dare to continue to pester him. He picked up the dagger and rushed forward, piercing the sharp blade deeply into the opponent's chest.
Poof!
As the end emerged from the back, a large amount of blood instantly dyed the luxurious silk robe red.
After a while, Muck lost consciousness and fell to the ground after losing too much blood.
Great revenge must be avenged!
The pirate captain's face looked obviously better.
He threw the dagger to the ground in a very shameless manner and let the [Activated Rope] tie him up again.
As for Zuo Si, he unceremoniously took away the tarantula statue on the table, then bent down and inspected Muke's body.
After confirming that there were no valuable magic items, he finally ordered without raising his head: "Use the magic ring to burn this corpse!"
"?!!!"
Yelnia was completely stunned and couldn't understand what this order meant.
But she couldn't disobey her master's order, so she could only raise the [Ring of Continuous Fireballs] on her finger and activate the spell stored in it.
The next second...
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
With the violent explosion and flames, Mook's body disappeared from this world forever in an instant.
Now, if anyone wants to resurrect him, they need to use top-notch magic or divine magic like [Wish Spell] and [Miracle Spell].
Yes!
The reason why Zuo Si destroyed Muke's body was to prevent the other party from having any friends or allies who would later collect the body and resurrect it.
After all, in the magical land of Faerûn, for those with money, power, and background, there are too many ways to resurrect unless they die naturally at the end of their lifespan.
Among them, the simplest and most effective prevention method is to destroy the corpse, which greatly increases the difficulty and cost of its resurrection.
