Less than ten kilometers away from the Chishui River, there is a mountain called Niutou Mountain.

At the same time, it was also the periphery of the border guards' blockade line, and Zhang Yu chose to camp his troops in the mountains, under the cover of vegetation, which was the best place to hide the army.

At this moment, at the foot of a large tree in the mountains, Carl found a team of dry firewood and poured fuel on it, causing the humanoid creature tied to the tree to convulse.

Zhang Yu looked the humanoid creature up and down, it was firmly tied to the tree and couldn't move.

"This is what you captured in the Kuroshio army?" Zhang Yu asked.

"Yes."

Zuo En nodded and replied, "I have to say, these ghosts of the Black Tide are not afraid of death, this creature only has the strength of the second grade at most, but it does not flinch at all when facing a few of us, three or two dare to pounce on the sixth grade, if they can't beat it, they scratch with their claws and bite with their teeth, their whole body seems to be full of weapons, if their eyes can kill, it is estimated that it would have stared me to death by now." ”

On the tree, the humanoid creature was about the size of an adult, and his skin was black all over his body, the surface of the skin was cracked, and there were horrible bruises in some places, and the most terrifying parts were their teeth and fingers.

Their teeth are very special, all four canine teeth are quite developed, like a beast like a lion and a tiger, and many people are torn alive by them.

Their fingers are like scimitars, their nails are indestructible, and ordinary steel is simply difficult to cut, and they can only be sliced off with alloy weapons.

Zhang Yu observed for a long time and came to the conclusion: "This is very similar to the 'zombies' recorded in the pre-civilization era, they are simple-minded, have developed limbs, and slaughter and bite frantically when they see people, but these humanoids do not have infectious diseases." ”

"No, it's a little different."

Lin Lang keenly captured the unusual meaning, "I have also read the zombie materials recorded in the pre-civilization era, those zombies can be said to have no formation at all, they don't know what is called offense and defense at all, and they will only fight with the most primitive instincts." ”

"But the creatures in these black tides are different, you can see that they all carry improvised armor, and when the war starts, the formation is obviously specially commanded, there is no chaos, and the reason why they don't hold weapons is because their fingers are weapons, and they can't use them at all!"

After some analysis, several people came to the conclusion that this zombie-like humanoid creature from the Black Tide is likely to have independent consciousness, but it is not as sharp as humans.

So, this is the action of tying it to a tree and preparing to set it on fire.

"I'll ask you one last time, do you speak human language?"

Zhang Yu held a cigarette in his mouth and said indistinctly, holding a lighter that had been lit in his other hand.

He doesn't believe in this thing, he can't speak!

Even if you don't speak a human language, you should know another language.

Otherwise, how was their army commanded in an orderly manner?

Fools can see that the Kuroshio who has broken through the Wuguan now is not at the same level as the Kuroshio who attacked the village before, maybe it is not too similar in strength, but these creatures are more organized, and even know how to arrange troops!

If you want to say that there is no verbal communication between them, the ghosts don't believe it.

But now, this zombie-like thing has his eyes closed, and he looks like he has the ability to kill Lao Tzu, and he doesn't say a word.

"Yo? Pretending to be a tough guy, isn't it? ”

Zhang Yu smiled evilly, and threw the lighter into the pile of firewood that had been poured with fuel.

Boom.

The flames rise.

It was early winter, the weather was dry, and the wind in the woods blew gently, and the flame climbed more than two meters high as if it had life, and began to scorch its legs.

On the tree, the zombie-like humanoid creature that was still a tough guy just now suddenly screamed.

“#%@！ %......" he said with a slurred voice.

Because his hands were tied, he couldn't make any movements, he could only throw begging eyes, and there were even tears rolling in his eyes.

"It seems that our tough guy is not so tough, let him down."

Zhang Yu sneered.

What kind of tough guy, Lao Tzu has the means to make you speak, and this is just the preliminary stage and you can't stand it?

Zhang Yu knew a cruel punishment, so he wrapped a rag soaked in fuel around the prisoner's leg and set it on fire.

The flames eroded the prisoner's body little by little, and the pain was unbearable, but he could only watch his legs being burned off little by little, the feeling was simply worse than death, and there was no way to do it if he wanted to die, on the contrary, the nerves were still very sensitive, and he could only suffer in pain, until he saw his waist down and all turned into ashes, and then he would die of excessive blood loss.

Some books refer to this punishment as lighting a sky lantern, and even the toughest tough guy cannot afford such severe torture.

At this moment, the moment the humanoid creature was released, it knelt on the ground, its hands prostrate, and its whole body trembled violently, as if it was frightened.

He buried his head deeply, put his hands together above his head, and didn't know what he was talking about, it should be some words like some good man sparing his life.

Zhang Yu gave him a whip, and he had a spasm of pain, but then he showed more obedience, almost lying on the ground with his whole body, and even kissing the soles of Zhang Yu's shoes.

Zhang Yu felt nauseous, took two steps back, and asked, "Let me ask you, do you speak human language?" ”

"Yes, yes, sir, I will!"

The humanoid creature said pitifully, tears came out of the corners of his eyes, and although the language he spoke had a serious accent, it was vague and still intelligible.

The officers were surprised to hear it speak, and they looked at each other.

It looks like a human and talks like a human, but in addition to being a little ugly, isn't this thing just a human-like existence?

Zhang Yu has no spare time to grind with it, the battlefield at the foot of the mountain is still fighting fiercely, and they have to continue to pull back after asking questions, and they can't delay too long.

"Are you from the fallen world? Why do you have beasts and humanoids in your army? Who are your chiefs? What is your troop strength? What happened to the expeditionary force guarding the eastern line? ”

Zhang Yu asked many questions in one breath.

The zombie-like man obviously didn't understand Zhang Yu's words, he seemed to think painfully, and explained in vague language: "Wang ...... In command, I am an ordinary citizen of the kingdom, don't kill me...... Don't kill me......"

Everyone was taken aback.

Is there a "king" in the Kuroshio?

What level of commander is that? Is it the strongest?

Master? Eight pins? Or the legendary Nine Pins?

The grumpy Karl kicked him to the ground and yelled, "What the hell is your king?" How many people are in your army? ”

The man was frightened, and directly curled up on the ground, shouting in his mouth: I am just an ordinary person, don't kill me...... Don't kill me......

"!"

Unable to get no useful information, Karl was furious and kicked him twice.

This humanoid zombie-like existence is just an ordinary second-grade, where can it withstand Carl's anger, after a few kicks, the bones on his body have been deformed, and he has been kicked alive, and his mouth and nose are overflowing with blood.

But even so, he was still curled up and weakly screaming: Don't kill me, don't kill me!

Zuo En, who was a little soft-hearted, couldn't stand it anymore and slit his throat with a saber, ending his pain completely.

"It seems that this person's body is very low, he doesn't know much, and if we want to really grasp some information, we must catch an officer in the Kuroshio, even if it's just a low-level officer."

After Zhang Yu pondered, he said.

Lin Lang said: "But the combined army has been defeated and retreated, and the killed are not formed, and the army is not broken, and we have no chance to capture the prisoners again." ”

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I know, let's retreat back for the time being, see what moves the border guards have, and if there is a chance, we will rush and kill!" ”

"Yes!"

Everyone quickly stepped on their horses and retreated to the west side of Niutou Mountain.

When he walked up to the top of the mountain, Zhang Yu glanced at the river beach in the distance.

As far as the eye can see, this flat river beach is full of black and oppressed human heads, and the scattered soldiers of the Great Xia United Army are everywhere, some of them are frantically retreating to the west, but most of them are left on the battlefield, divided into several parts by the Black Tide, surrounded and gradually encroaching.

It was only a matter of time before the army was wiped out.
