The Victory continued on its way, and soon saw an island in the dead sea.

The island is full of trees and flowers, and it looks vibrant.

It contrasts sharply with the dead silence of the surrounding sea.

Jiang Linxian drove the sea boat and quickly sailed to the shore of the island.

Dock next to the island's stone-stacked pier.

Jiang Linxian didn't expect that there would be a dock on this island, and he couldn't help frowning.

After getting off the boat, Jiang Linxian asked a few crew members to tie Steve ashore and take a few crew members into this island full of life.

Bernard stepped on the dock with a long-lost excitement on his face.

"Sure enough, the curse has been lifted." Bernard thought to himself.

He followed Jiang Linxian's steps and walked into the island.

Helena, the Explorer, also disembarked quickly, taking only a few crew members to follow.

The island is beautiful, full of charming vegetation and flowers, and is full of warmth and calm.

gave Jiang Linxian the feeling that he had come to an immortal island.

Many exotic birds flutter in the woods, and the scent of flowers swirls around the island.

A waterfall falls from the sky, like the Milky Way, from the nine heavens, which is extremely spectacular.

The beautiful picture of this island at this moment seems incompatible with its name.

Jiang Linxian walked and observed, it seemed that this Alcatraz Island was not the same as he imagined.

After walking for about half an hour, Jiang Linxian saw that there was a quaint courtyard where the waterfall fell into the deep pool.

At the main entrance of the courtyard, a layer of extremely white fog shrouded us.

Even though the courtyard gate is currently open, it is impossible to see the inside clearly.

Jiang Linxian walked up to Steve, picked his chin with a flintlock pistol, and asked curiously, "Are you sure there are ghosts and gods here?"

"Huh." Steve chuckled and didn't answer.

Jiang Linxian saw that he couldn't ask any information, and continued to walk towards the depths.

He soon came to the front of the courtyard.

"Let's go inside." The nine-tailed ghost fox glanced at Jiang Linxian and walked in first: "I don't see any danger at the moment."

Jiang Linxian nodded, at least the prompt did not remind him, indicating that there would be no danger, otherwise even if he was affected by the power of the rules, the prompt would be urgently reminded.

He stepped into it, through the white fog in front of him, and walked in.

As he entered, the fog behind him quickly dissipated, and by the time he turned back, only a high wall remained.

And Bernard and other crew members also walked in.

"This courtyard looks huge." Helena looked up and swept around, and couldn't help but say.

In the courtyard, there are hills, streams, and various plants and flowers are interspersed, and many classical buildings are scattered.

And in the middle is a magnificent building, smoking birds.

Jiang Linxian retracted his gaze and ordered the members to follow.

They crossed the winding gravel paths to the marble paved square.

And in front of them was a huge and magnificent temple.

The green smoke of the birds that Jiang Linxian saw at the beginning was wafting out of this temple.

"It's a temple." Jiang Linxian stared at this quaint building, his mind racing sharply.

On Alcatraz Island, there is actually a temple.

And it's hidden in the courtyard.

This is something he never expected.

From the outside of Alcatraz Island, the courtyard was no bigger than a deep pool, but when they walked in, they found that there was a cave.

Like the current temple, it was at least several times larger than the courtyard they saw outside.

Sure enough, there is something inside.

Jiang Linxian sighed for a moment and walked towards the temple, since he had already come, he had to go in and have a look.

The temple is filled with incense and light smoke, and inside the open main entrance, a huge statue is enshrined.

Jiang Linxian thought that the way out was that the huge statue in the temple was not the Buddha Guanyin, but a strange-looking creature.

It had three heads, each with only one big eye on it, and no other organs, which made it look very hideous and terrifying.

Underneath the head, there was a fat body like a ball of flesh, layers of rotten flesh were stacked on top of each other, and on top of the ball, many arms were born.

There are more than three hundred.

Jiang Linxian glanced at it, and felt his fingers tremble.

"What is this?" Jiang Linxian's brows jumped, and he whispered curiously, "Could it be that the ghost god of Alcatraz Island is him?"

The rest of the crew didn't know, but they just looked at the huge statue with curiosity.

Behind him, there were several low-ranking crew members, their bodies began to tremble, and then, they involuntarily fell to their knees.

And keep kowtowing.

His mouth trembled and muttered, "Oni-sama, oni-sama, oni-sama......

Bernard and Helena looked at the actions of the crew members, and they were all curious.

I don't understand what they're doing.

Helena shouted a few times in an attempt to wake up the bewitched crew, but to no avail.

[In view of the general environment,

They couldn't help but look at Jiang Linxian on the side, as if waiting for his reaction.

"Maybe it's bewitched." Jiang Linxian replied.

He was also very curious about the strange behavior of these crew members, so he could only find a reason to say.

When he tried to pull the crew up on the ground, he found that he couldn't pull them at all.

It was as if their knees had roots on them, coiled on the floor of the temple hall.

"Leave them alone, let's find Steve's heart first."

Jiang Linxian looked at both sides of the temple, and the walls on both sides of it were rows of small lattices made of black wood.

Standing in front of the statue and looking at both sides, there are at least hundreds of large and small grids.

Inside the small grid, there is a disc made of three tentacles entwined.

On top of it, many of them have a bloody heart.

The most bizarre thing is that these hearts are still beating, as if they are full of life and vitality.

In addition, in the middle of these tentacle discs where the hearts are placed, is the name of the host of each heart.

It seems that they are all the names of creatures whose hearts are enshrined here.

"Looks like your heart is here." After Jiang Linxian glanced at Steve, he prepared to find his heart.

When the latter heard this, his face was just blank and unwavering.

Even if Jiang Linxian held his heart in his hand now, he would not have any expression.

Bang Bang Bang!

！

Creak~~~

On the high tower in the distance of the temple, a bell rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the heavy red lacquered doors on both sides of the main entrance of the temple that Jiang Linxian walked in closed in response.

The whole temple became dark.

Bernard and Helena watched their surroundings and became vigilant.

So far, in the entire temple, only Jiang Linxian, Helena, Bernard, the nine-tailed ghost fox, and Steve who was tied up and sealed.

And with the closing of the temple gates.

An oil lamp was lit on top of the incense stand in front of the huge statue.

Flames also lit up in the small black wood lattices embedded in the walls on both sides.

Those flames are the hearts burning inside the little grid.

It was as if they had been ignited by some mysterious flame, like a wick, burning with flames.

Jiang Linxian took a look at it and felt surprised

"Black flames?"

"It's the first time I've seen it."

These flames burned from the heart, the center of the flame was black, and the outer part of the flame was a scarlet light, as red as blood.

"It's dead air." The nine-tailed ghost fox is considered to be well-informed, and he said in one sentence: "When the death qi gathers to a certain extent, it forms a raw material that can be burned, and it is this kind of flame that is ignited."

"Boy, do you remember the ghost pill I got in the Kyoka Ghost School? Actually, it's the same principle."

As the nine-tailed ghost fox explained, wisps of rancid disgusting smell wafted over, which was the smell produced after the dead qi burned.

"You mean to say that these hearts should be dead."

Jiang Linxian frowned and said.

"It's not."

"The heart is alive, but it is tainted with death."

"If the heart is dead, it should be the same as these shriveled objects on the incense stand, lifeless, like dead wood."

The nine-tailed ghost fox raised its paws and pointed at the disc above the incense platform.

On top of it lay three shriveled hearts that had lost their vitality, as if they had been drained of life.

"The ghosts and gods of this temple are supposed to feed on the hearts of living beings and survive for a long time."

As it spoke, the innermost part of the huge sculpture lit up from the darkness that seemed like an abyss.

The lights moved slowly and came out of the darkness.

When Steve saw this, his body suddenly froze, and then he trembled.

Out of the darkness, a row of young women with discs in their hands came out.

On the disc was a beating heart, burning with black fire and clouds of black smoke.

If you look closely for a moment, you will see that the direction of these black smoke is the huge sculpture in front of you.

And these women who came out in small steps were remarkable, slender and delicate, and each of them was extremely beautiful.

But their expressions were very wooden and stiff, as if they had no feelings, like walking corpses.

They were dressed in a uniform white light veil, and their snow-white bodies could be faintly seen.

As this group of women came out of the darkness, they surrounded Jiang Linxian and the others.

They formed a semicircle centered on Jiang Linxian and the others, and then sat on the smooth floor, motionless, like stone carvings.

"What is this?" Jiang Linxian frowned, and the Soul Ghost Stick in the system space had already been taken out.

"It's the girl of the offering." Steve said with a trembling figure.

His gaze looked at the expressionless woman who was sitting on the ground in half a circle, and finally landed on a girl who was extremely cold, revealing a deep gaze.

"Your daughter, isn't she in there?" Jiang Linxian followed his gaze and locked onto the girl with the disc.

looks like Steve.

Steve nodded, not speaking.

"Steve, you must know a lot about the ghosts and gods of Alcatraz, shouldn't you give us some information? Maybe I'll be able to save your daughter."

Jiang Linxian said, trying to dig out more information about the ghosts and gods of Alcatraz Island from Steve's mouth.

"You can't save it." Steve said with a grim face, "You're all going to die here."

"Including me."

"Boy, what nonsense to a riddler like him, do you want me to eat him, so that I can break through to the dream demon level."

"Not necessarily." Jiang Linxian also looked indifferent, staring at Steve, as if he was extremely determined.

"Hehe, that's ignorant." Steve sneered, "Do you know why I took you to Alcatraz Island to worship the ghosts?"

"Because only by offering you to the demons can I exchange you for my daughter."

Steve said.

Those eyes seemed to want to eat Jiang Linxian.

"For

What is Me? And not other creatures?" Jiang Linxian asked.

"Because you're the one who cares about Natis, the ghost god of the sea."

"And the ghosts of Alcatraz Island have a great grudge against Natis, the ghost god of the sea."

"You said that if I gave the creature of the sea god Natis to the ghost god of Alcatraz, would it agree to exchange it for my daughter?"

"So you've been thinking like this." Helena held a long knife against Steve's neck and said indifferently, "Are you so sure that the ghosts of Alcatraz will grant your request?"

"For the sake of my daughter, even if there is a little hope, I will not give up." Steve looked at Helena indifferently and said, "You'll know when you have a child of your own."

"Then why did you offer your daughter to the Alcatraz ghosts?" Helena said indifferently, "If you knew this was the case, why did you bother in the first place?"

"You think I'm willing?" Steve's eyes were red and he said, "You didn't even know what was going on!"

"Neither my heart nor my daughter is up to me!"

"You've come to Alcatraz without realizing the seriousness of the problem!"

"The ghosts and gods here are not so easy to deal with!"

Helena was stunned by Steve's words, and she didn't know how to answer.

Jiang Linxian on the side pinched the Soul Ghost Stick in his hand and asked, "Then how did your heart, and your daughter, stay here?"

Steve's one-eyed glance at Jiang Linxian and said, "It's my daughter who volunteered to stay here......

"She volunteered to stay here as a tribute to the ghosts and gods in order to save me."

"My heart is part of this deal."

"I tried to resist, but it was useless."

"I also lost an eye for that."

"That's the parrot you saw."

"I put that shrunken eyeball in the eye of a dying parrot, which is the parrot on me."

The parrot on Steve's shoulder flapped its wings and shouted, "I'm innocent! I'm innocent! I'm innocent!"

Gollum......

As Steve recounted his experience, the huge eerie statue in front of him suddenly moved.

Jiang Linxian looked up and found that the statue at this moment was swirled in a cloud of pitch-black smoke.

In the flickering lights and dancing shadows, this huge eerie statue faded away from its stiff stones.

Like a giant monster resurrected from the abyss, it transforms into an ugly rotting body......
