Chapter 2931

After the Black Crow Ring was inlaid with Cursed Stones, its attributes changed greatly.

【Black Crow Ring】

Equipment effect: Crow Flock (Passive), can control 350,000 'Black Cursed Crows' on Min Guang Island, and summon them to the outside world.

Introduction: Sunk... into the darkness, will you wake up?

Price: Cannot be sold, traded, etc., can be discarded.

Su Xiao could control a large number of Black Cursed Crows at this time. This had advantages and disadvantages. When he controlled tens of thousands before, he could control some Black Cursed Crows to attack designated enemies.

Now there were as many as 350,000. If he tried to give an order to let the Black Cursed Crows attack a designated target, that kind of spiritual power burden would cause an eighth-tier contractor who specialized in spiritual power to faint, unless that contractor was of the undead system.

At this time, one could see how strong the spiritual power of the insect girl Jira was. She could control hundreds of thousands of Zerg units to carry out clear-target attacks. This was an innate talent.

If all 350,000 Black Cursed Crows were summoned, Su Xiao was not unable to control them, but had to give general instructions, for example, circling over a certain island, attacking enemies with what characteristics, etc.

If he gave a clear instruction like 'attack the West Sea King', Su Xiao would be conscious for a period of time even if he didn't faint due to spiritual power overdraft.

Conversely, if Su Xiao gave the order 'attack the bearded human', the spiritual power burden would be very small. The concept of bearded + human was far more general than the West Sea King.

Black Cursed Crows were different from Wolf Cavalry. Wolf Cavalry were soldiers with wisdom. Giving orders was through verbal commands and had nothing to do with spiritual power.

The bonus of the War Lord could be fully triggered, but as a price, 350,000 Black Cursed Crows formed a complete crow flock. After being released, except for not attacking their own people, these Black Cursed Crows could be called a natural disaster.

"You have already discovered it. This is the price."

In the old woman's turbid eyes, it was unknown what secrets were hidden.

"How many Magic Sea gold coins do I need to pay to replenish Black Cursed Crows here."

"No need. If you want as many as you want, just take them away, hehehehehe."

The old woman laughed until her shoulders shook.

"..."

Su Xiao walked towards the outside of the small wooden house. This old woman knew many secrets, but said nothing. Sometimes, free things are the most expensive.

After walking out of the small wooden house, Su Xiao looked at another wooden house more than ten meters away. This wooden house was built of round logs, looking very rough, but also dilapidated.

The black fog around this wooden house only dissipated after the second stage of the Doom's seal was lifted. Su Xiao stopped in front of the wooden house and pushed open the door.

Creak~

The door made of round logs and iron bars opened. The room emitted a dim candlelight. This room was about a dozen square meters in size, and the walls were covered with barnacles and moss, dark and damp.

On the innermost wooden wall, a human silhouette could be vaguely seen. Only the face of this silhouette protruded, and other parts were flush with the wall, and some body parts were even recessed into the wooden wall.

"Hey, wake up."

Baha flew forward. Perhaps because it heard the sound, or felt the breath of a living creature, the face on the wooden wall moved. Accompanied by a clicking sound, it opened its eyes.

"Don't believe the crows, don't believe, it was she who harmed us."

The face muttered to itself. A moment later, it closed its eyes again.

【Prompt: The Hunter has triggered the achievement task 'Eliminate Crows' (task content cannot be viewed, completed after killing the Mist Keeper Crow, this task has no penalty).】

The requirement of this task was actually to kill the old woman just now. Temporarily don't consider it.

"Hey, face on the wall, why do you want to kill that old woman?"

Baha asked tentatively. The face on the wooden wall opened its turbid eyes again.

"You... who are you? Oh, I know, you, are here to help the Cursed Ones... gain freedom. This requires... Magic Sea gold coins. I am too weak, need... Magic Sea power."

As soon as the face on the wooden wall finished speaking, the prompt appeared again.

【Prompt: The Hunter has completed the negotiation with the Mist Keeper Sea-Attached One. Yes/No to consume Magic Sea gold coins, through the Magic Sea energy within the Magic Sea gold coins, to help the Cursed Ones break free from the shackles of the black fog.】

【Prompt: Each Cursed One needs to consume 50 Magic Sea gold coins to break free from the shackles of the black fog and serve the Doom.】

Su Xiao still had 17,007 Magic Sea gold coins, which could help at most 340 Cursed Ones break free from the shackles of the black fog. He took out 17,000 Magic Sea gold coins from the storage space.

Jingle~

All the Magic Sea gold coins flew up. The face of the Sea-Attached One on the wall opened its mouth wide, and one Magic Sea gold coin after another merged into its mouth.

At the same time, in the black fog of Min Guang Island, laughter and angry curses appeared one after another.

"Freedom, I am free!"

An arm reached out from the black fog, and immediately a Cursed One rushed out of the black fog. The next moment, a big hand grabbed its head and threw it back into the black fog.

A Cursed One with pitch-black eyes and nearly two meters tall walked out of the black fog. It took a deep breath.

"It's the smell of air. This captain, who possessed the Doom without signing a blood contract, has been here for hundreds of years, and it has never been this good."

The teeth in the mouth of this Cursed One bit until they clicked. It roared, and layers of sound waves spread, shaking the surrounding soil half a meter high.

Similar scenes kept appearing at the edge of the black fog on the island. Only Cursed Ones strong enough had the qualification to escape, and the weak ones could only continue in the black fog.

Su Xiao stood on the roof of the wooden house, watching the changes on Min Guang Island. There were 7 Magic Sea gold coins left. They came fast, and spent faster.

"You, walk closer."

Su Xiao chose a Cursed One and released all the Black Cursed Crows, triggering the bonus of the War Lord.

Hearing Su Xiao's words, a Cursed One stepped forward. It carried a saw-blade big knife on its back. The whole knife was nearly 1.2 meters long, the blade was four fingers wide, and the handle was wrapped in tattered cloth strips.

Black Cursed Crows circled in the sky, the War Lord title had been triggered, and Su Xiao checked the data of that Cursed One.

Name: Cursed One Quake

Agility: 187 (Real attribute)

Stamina: 198 (Real attribute)

The real Strength attribute of the Cursed One was higher than Su Xiao's own. This was the bonus of the War Lord. After all, Su Xiao had not yet broken through the barrier of 200 points of attributes.

However, the attribute bonus of the War Lord was all real attributes +20 points, which meant it could only provide buffs to real attributes.

Overall, the combat power of the Cursed Ones was very strong. Not to mention anything else, just the support of a technique-type ability meant they wouldn't be weak.

Of course, not all Cursed Ones had technique-type abilities. This also depended on how strong they were before they died.

"Captain, can I challenge you."

Cursed One Quake gripped the handle of the knife behind its back. The Cursed Ones feared Min Guang Island and the captain of the Doom, but there were exceptions, especially after the Cursed Ones recovered their consciousness.

"Of course you can."

"Then let's start. If I win, you have to tear up my blood contract."

"You can, but..."

Su Xiao stopped halfway through his words. Cursed One Quake, who was about to rush forward, stopped.

"Before fighting me, you must pass the trial."

"Trial?"

Quake tilted its head. While it was puzzled, the other three hundred or so Cursed Ones were already standing around the wooden house where Su Xiao was, a pair of pitch-black eyes staring at Quake. As long as Su Xiao gave an order, these Cursed Ones would tear Quake apart in a short time.

"The captain let us walk out of the black fog, Quake, where is your awe and gratitude."

A bald Cursed One spoke, the teeth in its mouth biting until they clicked.

"I am a mad dog, do you understand mad dog?"

Cursed One Quake revealed a mouth full of shark-like sharp teeth.

"Follow me, go to the 'trial'. If you pass, you don't need to challenge me, I will also help you tear up the blood contract."

"Really?"

"..."

Su Xiao walked towards the pier. His luck was quite good; he encountered a silly Cursed One.

A group of Cursed Ones followed Su Xiao onto the Doom. They all stopped on the deck. Su Xiao pushed open the door of the captain's cabin, entered the captain's cabin for a moment, and walked out with an ice-blue gem.

"Bring him in."

"Okay, Captain."

Several Cursed Ones either pressed Quake's shoulders or grabbed its back neck, pushing it into the captain's cabin.

"Captain, I was just joking with you, you... you won't mind a mad dog's joke, will you."

Cursed One Quake was pushed into the captain's cabin very reluctantly. From its words and deeds, it could be seen that the Cursed Ones' reason had fully recovered, and they all knew how to recognize the situation.

"I am very optimistic about you, you are called..."

"Quake."

"Hmm, Quake, as long as you pass the 'trial', you will be completely free. Go in."

Su Xiao opened the Cursed Magic Box, which was chaotic inside.

"Magic Box!"

Quake shivered, and the other few Cursed Ones lowered their heads. In a very short time, their loyalty soared.

"You let me go..."

Amidst Quake's roar, it was stuffed into the magic box. The magic box banged shut, and the long knife on its back was now nailed to the wooden wall beside Su Xiao.

Su Xiao took out a timer and set it for 30 seconds first. The second hand jumped. After the time reached 30 seconds, he opened the magic box.

Quake's head poked out. Its body size had become much larger, and its head was also turning towards the appearance of a canine animal, its mouth full of teeth sharper, and pale yellow saliva flowing between its teeth.

Bang!

Quake almost bit Su Xiao's hand. It completely stopped pretending. This guy hadn't been a Cursed One for long. Last time the Doom was active on the sea, it became a crew member of the Doom, and it had become a Cursed One within the last few months.

Su Xiao closed the magic box tightly. This time he set it for 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, he opened the magic box. Quake was still in the chaotic curse power, its eyes full of hatred.

Seeing this, Su Xiao closed the magic box again and set it for 60 minutes. He sat on a wooden chair on the side, and Winnie hurriedly brought a teapot and poured a cup of black tea.

60 minutes passed quickly. As soon as Su Xiao opened the magic box, a black shadow rushed out and disappeared into the captain's cabin with a whoosh.

Because this black shadow was too big, the magic box was stretched to crack. This thing was made of energy and could recover after a while.

"Quake ran away, bring it back."

"Hold it down, this bastard bit off my leg."

"Can't hold it down, chase quickly."

More than 500 Cursed Ones rushed off the Doom to catch Quake. At this time, Quake was at least five meters long, like a mad dog severely eroded by the curse.

After chasing for a full two hours, the Cursed Ones finally caught Quake. This guy ran extremely fast. At this time, it had been put into a metal cage, and it was biting the metal pillars of the cage. The metal pillars as thick as an arm were covered with teeth marks.

"Quake, is this the appearance you imagined?"

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Quake stopped biting the metal pillars, its eyes filled with fierce light. A moment later, it lay in the large metal cage. This appearance at this time was indeed the appearance it imagined. It wanted to become like this itself, just like it said before, it was born a mad dog, a mad dog that bites anyone.

"I, am, hungry."

A strange sound came from Quake's throat.

Su Xiao let other Cursed Ones get food. Quake ate it in big mouthfuls. Seeing this scene, other Cursed Ones looked envious. It was useless for them to eat food. Although their sense of touch and taste had recovered, after they ate food, the food would turn into gray slag in their stomachs and then be spat out. That feeling was very bad.

Su Xiao tried to check Quake's attributes, and a prompt appeared. He actually couldn't check Quake's attributes, because there was too much curse power in Quake's body, and its loyalty had dropped below 30 points.

Su Xiao was not worried about Quake running away during the battle, or attacking other Cursed Ones. If that happened, he could make Quake turn into a black shadow instantly and be dragged back into the black fog of Min Guang Island.

Usually, Quake couldn't be released. This guy was very combative. Quake could be released during battle. This was a big trump card.

Quake's change made three Cursed Ones a bit tempted. They all took the initiative to ask to enter the magic box.

An hour later, the number of crew members on the Doom decreased by three. When those three Cursed Ones were dragged out one by one, they all died on the spot.

Just as Su Xiao was waiting for news from Caesar, a Cursed One walked near him. It was Amans Murray, the ancestor of Rear Admiral Murray.

"Captain, I want to enter the magic box."

"You need to be responsible for commanding the Cursed Ones in battle."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Amans lowered its eyelids. When it was not yet clear, it was the one who commanded other Cursed Ones to fight. Overall, it didn't command very well.

There was no way, at that time, Amans was the clearest Cursed One.

"Captain, I... am weaker than other crew members."

"..."

Su Xiao turned to look at Amans, and Amans lowered its head slightly.

"Help me finish some things, and I will return your freedom. After that, you can exist for 30 days, living like a normal person for 30 days."

Su Xiao controlled the Doom, opened the door of the captain's cabin, and Amans walked into it, entered the magic box by itself, and closed the magic box, leaving only a slit.

Many Cursed Ones saw this scene, some with admiration, some with cold eyes, and some didn't care at all.

More than two hours passed, and the magic box still didn't open. Amans failed.

"Hahahahaha, he is not a mad dog. Only a mad dog can succeed."

Quake in the metal cage mocked. This guy could occasionally be clear for a while, and sometimes it was completely in a mad dog state.

With a creak, the magic box opened, and an arm with gray skin reached out from the magic box.

Amans's upper body crawled out. It exhaled cold air from its mouth. After breaking free from the magic box, it walked forward step by step. Every time it took a step forward, the Cursed Ones on the deck retreated a step.

"Captain, I have... crawled out of hell."

Amans stepped out of the captain's cabin, and gray-black aura spread. This aura represented death. The strongest Cursed One of the Doom appeared.

Su Xiao sat on the ship's side of the Doom, looking at the black fog on Min Guang Island. His combat power in his hands had soared by a large chunk. Replenishing 266 more Cursed Ones, the crew of the Doom would reach 800, temporarily full, and now urgently lacking Magic Sea gold coins.

The key now was for Caesar to complete the trade as soon as possible. After the first batch of gold coins was in hand, the Cursed Ones could be replenished to full. At that time, he could go to deal with the West Sea King.
