Chapter 715: Chapter 715: Sudden Change on Evil Island

"Ah!"

The bearded man had been thoroughly frightened out of his wits by now.

He got up, climbed over the gunwale, and jumped towards the vast sea.

After all, for him, the speedboat was nothing short of hell.

But just as his feet touched the water’s surface, a fuzzy tail wrapped around his waist.

He was then hoisted up like a hooked fish, pulled out of the water.

"Help... Help me..."

The bearded man’s eyes bulged in terror. He tried to struggle but soon discovered

that the seemingly soft tail was tougher than diamond.

Helplessly, he watched as he was lifted.

"Why can’t we kill him all of a sudden?"

Ning Mengyao still had that harmless look.

However, the dry corpses strung upon her seven fox tails made her seem like a demon from hell.

Ranked among the nine corpses, her strength was certainly not limited to this display.

Even Xu Zhi Rou felt unsettled at that moment.

Thinking about how every night, she was restrained by Ning’s fox tails—unable to move, yet always so fluffy—

was something she found unusually comforting, even when held in embrace.

But how could it have become a deadly weapon in an instant, and with destructive force that pierces straight through the chest, it was truly hard to accept.

"Because he seems to be a curse shaman from Woguo."

Lin Fan pointed at the back of his neck, and only then did Ning Mengyao control the fox tails to place the man in front, forcing his head down.

"There is indeed a mark, but... it feels like it was just branded on him!"

At this moment, the bearded man was nothing more than a plaything.

Ning Mengyao could decide whether he lived or died.

"This is a bit strange, a commoner with the brand of a curse shaman... and there seems to be something off about it!"

Lin Fan crooked his finger, and the man was promptly hoisted by Ning Mengyao and brought before him.

Looking at the mark on the man’s neck, he pondered for a moment and then turned to Xu Zhi Rou.

"What does it look like to you?"

"It looks like... a stamp put on cattle or horses!"

After pondering for a moment, Xu Zhi Rou suddenly remembered something.

"That’s right, so that means, this guy isn’t a curse shaman, at best, he’s just cattle raised by a curse shaman."

Lin Fan shared the same thought, but they needed to interrogate the now unconscious and terrified bearded man to get the specifics.

So Ning Mengyao was instructed to put him down while Lin splashed his face with red wine.

The bearded man jolted awake instantly.

"Ah!"

Seeing Ning Mengyao standing next to Lin Fan, he screamed miserably once again.

But before he could faint again, a gust of wind struck him.

"Smack!"

A hefty slap sent him tumbling to the ground.

The burning pain made him want to cry out, but as soon as he opened his mouth, several yellow teeth mixed with blood sprayed out.

"Hey, how did you get that mark on your neck?"

Lin Fan shook his hand, looking with disgust at the man while pointing to the back of his own neck.

"I... Save me... &*￥..."

The bearded man knelt on the ground, begging for mercy incessantly, and the words in his mouth were incomprehensible to the three of them.

Clearly, his Chinese was very poor, completely insufficient to describe the situation at hand.

"This is troublesome!"

Lin Fan rubbed his chin, looking at the bearded man who kept kowtowing like pounding garlic.

With the language barrier, he couldn’t make himself clear even if he wanted to.

"I have a method, but after using it, he won’t survive," Ning Mengyao suddenly said to Lin Fan with confidence.

"If he won’t survive, then he won’t survive; I just want to know what he knows about this mark," Lin Fan said as he had just checked the other mummified bodies, and they all had the same mark on the back of their necks.

This meant that these people were all connected to the sorcerers.

"That’s simple, I’ll handle him," Meng Yao said.

With a thought, her fox tail seized the limbs of the bearded man.

She brought him directly in front of her.

At the same time, a red light shot out from her seductive eyes, piercing straight into the man’s eyes.

Soon, the bearded man stopped struggling and stood there like a puppet.

"Seductive Soul Capturing Skill..."

Lin Fan couldn’t help but utter the name, despite not knowing how this peculiar name had appeared in his mind.

Clearly, it was Meng Yao’s signature move.

Soon, as Ning Mengyao withdrew the red light, the bearded man stood there like a puppet, his brain destroyed, now a marionette under Meng Yao’s control.

Just now, she had forcibly extracted part of the man’s memories.

"These people were indeed fishermen but spent most of their time fishing far away, a thousand miles from here. A few months ago, some fishermen who came here said that Evil Island was full of strange creatures with treasures, and capturing them could bring great wealth. So they partnered up to try their luck here," Meng Yao was now forming a rough idea of the bearded man’s memories.

Even if she didn’t speak their language, she could grasp some linguistic ability while reading part of their memories.

"But as soon as they landed on the island, they were captured by a group of sorcerers. More than half of the hundred or so people they organized were killed, and the rest were branded and banished here. The sorcerers demanded that they use fishing as bait and immediately shoot a signal flare whenever they encountered ships coming from the mainland toward the island," she continued.

"The sorcerers are on Evil Island too!"

Hearing this, Lin Fan widened his eyes.

Indeed, they were also after the Drought demon.

"Not only that, but they also seem to be using iron cages to hold some wild beasts. Although it’s just fragmented memories, those beasts are definitely not ordinary animals. They are not only larger in size but also exceptionally violent. Several of the containers have been smashed open," Meng Yao’s answer caused Lin Fan to frown.

"By rights, we’ve been to Evil Island before, and there were just some vicious wild animals. When did all these bizarre things emerge? Could it be related to the Drought demon?"

"Does that mean we’ve already been exposed?"

Xu Zhi Rou was more concerned about whether their whereabouts had attracted the attention of the sorcerers.

"No, these shameless guys saw that we were only three people and planned to take advantage. So, they didn’t send any signals to Evil Island at all," Meng Yao replied, prompting a smile from Lin Fan.

"Now, can you make him do something for us?"

"I can’t make him do anything too intricate, but simple tasks shouldn’t be a problem."

"Good!"

Lin Fan stood up, smiling as he gazed into the pitch-black distance.

Evil Island was nearing, and it was time to misdirect their focus.

"You control him to launch a signal flare tomorrow night. When everyone’s attention is on that, we will make our way onto the island while they are unprepared. I want to see what treasures on Evil Island are so important that the sorcerers would come out in full force for them!"
