Chapter 223: Forced to take hostage_2
"No need, let me take a look."
Little John chuckled softly without responding but led Anna to the door of a certain room inside the cave.
Upon arriving, he pulled out a key to unlock the door, revealing a spacious room with a humanoid creature suspended in the air, bound by iron chains.
The figure had a face similar to that of humans, but its hair was entirely deep red, and it had a shell-like carapace akin to a lobster’s on its back. One of its hands was a pincer, and the other was a human palm with webbing. Dangling behind it was a huge, slightly curled lobster tail.
It was wrapped in iron chains, bearing injuries, with little greenish blood dripping down the chains. Now unconscious, it was none other than the lobster-like demi-human Ling Jiu, whom Fisher and his team were trying to rescue.
In a corner of the room, several menacing figures, cigarette in mouth and holding flintlocks, stared at Anna and her party entering the room—these were the Hunters who had captured this demi-human.
"Ding Ding, this is the Ocean Subhuman caught by the Hunters. It’s also my first time seeing a subhuman from the Sea Floor... We initially thought these Ocean Subhumans were even fiercer than the Dragon-men of the South Continent. When assigning the mission, we specifically sought out Hunters with strong combat skills. Luckily, they’re better at running away, hehe..."
"Do you want to pay for this one now and take it away, or wait until everyone’s here and pay all at once?"
