Chapter 037: Three Chasers
At the end of the Valley of Sunset, three lightning-like shadows swept through the dense forest, finally stopping at the edge of the iron fence on the outskirts of the Nightmare Prison.
Chu Wanran, with a bounty of 2.9 million Bailey, Jiwu, with a bounty of 15 million Bailey, and Pasha Flo, with a bounty of 10 million Bailey.
The three crew members from the Nightmare Pirates were ordered to investigate Chu Ying's death and come to claim the Joker Fruit that had been mistakenly transported. On the way to Nightmare Prison, the three of them unexpectedly received a call for help from Erren.
This signal was sent only once.
There was no follow-up response.
Apparently, Erren had died.
After the three of them noticed the abnormality, Chu Wanran used a certain ability, and her speed soared, and she soon arrived at Nightmare Prison.
At this moment, Flo looked at the smoke-filled Nightmare Prison in front of him, widened his ethereal pupils, and muttered:
"Something doesn't seem right......"
"The poisonous swamp is also gone...... Eren wouldn't be dead. Jiwu speculated.
"The troll zombie guarding the door is also gone, and this chain doesn't look like it has been broken free, but ......," Chu Wanran said, kicking a shriveled corpse in the chain, and continued, "It should be that old loach of Laskus has also been killed!" ”
This shriveled corpse was originally very large, more than three meters tall, and weighed at least more than five hundred catties.
This troll zombie was originally an ordinary person, but he was forcibly fed more than a hundred terrifying leeches by Laskus, and was forcibly infected with the leech queen zombie virus and became a troll zombie. Troll zombies are not only huge, but they are also able to continuously enhance and replenish their strength by digesting the excrement of leeches in their bodies, and at the same time convert their own energy into leeches in their bodies as nourishment, achieving an almost perfect symbiosis system.
This kind of troll zombie is extremely aggressive, murderous and cruel, and in the case of normalization, it has combat power comparable to that of 5,000 bounty pirates, and when it completely rampages, it is difficult to compete with even pirates with a bounty of more than 10,000.
It is precisely because of its strong combat power that this kind of troll zombie has become the first line of defense on the perimeter of the Nightmare Prison, and there are a total of thirty-one troll zombies stationed on the perimeter of the entire Nightmare Prison, their bodies are bound by chains, but they can move freely within a certain range of activities, if there are fugitives or foreign enemies who want to sneak in here quietly, they will be discovered immediately and attacked by these guys.
And now, these troll zombies all seem to have been dried, and only a skinny dried corpse remains, and a few leeches can be faintly seen inside.
Hearing Chu Wanran say this, Ji Wu also noticed these changes around him, but his eyes lit up, and he pulled out the metal long pipe behind him, and said with some excitement:
"Yo he, it seems that the troublemaker guy is a little interesting, this trip is worth it!"
"It's better to be careful, if that guy really has the ability to get stronger the more attacked after eating the clown fruit like the information they provided, then I'm afraid it's really not easy to deal with! If that guy really gets the hang of it, we'll all have to hang here. Chu Wanran said.
"Cut, whatever, it doesn't matter if he really masters the ability, it just so happens that I can't find any suitable training partners in the Nightmare Pirates now, this guy is just what I want!" Jiwu disagreed.
Flo didn't speak, looking in the direction of Nightmare Prison, holding a golden copper nail in his hand, holding it in the palm of his hand, and as his body rotated, the nail also rotated, seemingly staying at the same frequency as his body, but leaning from time to time.
It was about five minutes before Flo spoke:
"That guy has already run away, and there is no perception of the existence of the capable in this prison, which means that this guy not only escaped, but also killed all the capable people in the Nightmare Prison!"
As soon as Flo's words came out, the other two were startled at the same time, and Chu Wanran asked in disbelief:
"Are you telling the truth? Is it possible that there is a detection error? ”
"Impossible, unless this guy's strength has exceeded my detection range, and his Devil Fruit has been developed to at least the third stage, it is impossible to interfere with my detection!" Flo affirmed.
Chu Wanran's beautiful eyes flickered, hesitated for a moment, and said to Ji Wu:
"What then?"
Ji Wu was full of confidence, looked into the distance, and said to Chu Wanran:
"The guy who escaped is handed over to me, Flo and I will chase him, you go to Nightmare Prison to have a look, maybe you can save the survivors inside!"
Chu Wanran nodded, but was still a little worried:
"You must be careful, don't forget the captain's reminder before leaving, if the situation is not right, then you two must give up decisively, don't fight bravely!"
"Hey, I know, mother-in-law's, mother-in-law, it's just a fledgling kid, no problem!"
Ji Wu said, and the metal long pipe in his hand was inserted back into his back.
Flo tossed five brass nails into the air, and then let them stick to his head, the brass nails shuddered, and a strange force swirled around their surfaces, then formed a swirling wave that radiated in all directions.
"Power Tracking!"
Flo threw out the spikes and unleashed some strange move, and the spikes immediately began to follow the trail of power that only he could see, and Jiwu followed.
Chu Wanran looked at the two people who were far away, and she was still a little uneasy in her heart, this feeling was very strange, although she was very confident in the combat power of Jiwu and Flo, after all, the two of them were strong, and the bounties had all exceeded one million, and they were famous in the East China Sea, but she still couldn't rest assured, she always felt that this guy who was the first person in history to successfully escape from prison might have a very terrifying hidden strength.
Chu Wanran didn't continue to think about it, jumped deeply, jumped over the forbidden area and defensive traps, and rushed towards the Nightmare Prison.
Chu Wanran broke in from the main gate, because she held the Nightmare Pirate Medal, and the prohibition and defense at the gate had no effect on her.
As soon as she entered the hall of Nightmare Prison, she was instantly shocked by the scene in front of her.
The whole Nightmare Prison was in shambles, the jailers and guards were lying on the ground, those zombie guards had all turned into real dried corpses, and there were still pieces of dried leeches on the ground, which looked a little numb to the scalp, unusually weird and terrifying.
"Life Voyeur!"
Chu Wanran activated her ability, and her eyes bloomed with a scorching light.
Chu Wanran is a person who has eaten the fruit of breath, and can search for signs of life through the breath, and can even check and treat the condition by adjusting the breath of foreign objects. After activating the ability, Chu Wanran's observation power was improved, and she was able to capture traces of life.
She followed the traces of life and soon found the body of La Skull.
By this time, Skulls had been completely sun-dried, and although its Devil Fruit was so powerful that it could move freely in shallow water without being affected by the curse, it had the fatal weakness of not being able to withstand the sun's exposure.
He was now bathed in sunlight, but he didn't feel any warmth, but gradually turned into a dry corpse.
Chu Wanran looked at the huge hole above her head and the corpses shrouded in sunlight below, she could imagine how desperately Larsus had desperately wanted to climb out of this terrible sunlight, but unfortunately, Larsus had already used all his last strength to treat Bowaut at that time, and there was no strength left to support him to crawl.
Larsus originally thought that Smael, considering that he needed a guide to escape, would at least leave his life for the time being, and would not kill him immediately, but he still miscalculated.
Smaël decided to kill the guy almost without thinking.
Chu Wanran was sure that it was impossible to save this guy, so she had to give up and began to continue looking for other clues.
Chu Wanran shuttled through the empty nightmare prison, and a small life card in her hand was still slowly shrinking.
This is Erren's life card, although it is about to disappear completely, but there is still a faint vitality at this moment.
Chu Wanran continued to search along the traces of life, and finally found the breath of Erren, she followed this faint breath to the edge of the cesspool, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help laughing:
"Hmph, Erren, your toad's life is really big......"
