Chapter 492

Is there no living person in this town? No, that's not right. The shopkeeper I met yesterday was a little weird and rigid, but there was no problem in normal communication. She didn't look like a zombie.

Perona thought of the strange stone again. She had been thinking about it since she saw it. If she could keep it in her hand as a decoration, she might not be so worried about it like today.

"It seems that someone came out of the Queen's room. Why does he look so familiar to me?"

Zombie Moria stood beside the Queen of Shadows, leaning forward and squinting his eyes to look at the person who came. From the other party's clothes, he seemed to have seen him somewhere.

"The captain seems to be a crew member of our broken ship. The ship ran aground and scattered. I didn't expect him to appear in the town."

The streets were shrouded in shadows, and the atmosphere was particularly weird. The crew members who suddenly appeared moved in a very strange posture, as if they were dragged forward by some invisible force.

His body was stiff and unnatural, and every step seemed difficult and laborious, as if a heavy burden was on him. The man's footsteps echoed in the silent streets, echoing a strange rhythm, as if it was a melody from another world. His figure was looming in the darkness, giving people an illusory feeling, as if he did not belong to this world.

"Since he is your acquaintance, Moria, why don't you go forward and see what your crew has become?"

The order of the Shadow Queen is the law of heaven. Even if Zombie Moria knew that something was wrong, he would not disobey Xiaoyu's order. In Perona's worried eyes, the fat man came to the other party step by step.

At first, under the dim light, Zombie Moria only noticed that the crew's face was abnormally pale, just like being soaked in sea water for a long time, and the exposed skin was swollen. He did not feel the breath of life on the other party, and an inexplicable fishy smell on the body was transmitted to the zombie's mouth and nose.

How did his weird action posture come from? Zombie Moriah moved his view downward. The other party's lower body had no human legs. It had already turned into a pile of black tentacles. The other party actually moved forward step by step with the tentacles. No wonder the movement was so slow.

"It's just like what the boss said. You don't want to be a human but choose to be a monster. I'll let you go for the sake of being in the same boat."

Moriah didn't miss it at all. His shadow turned into a monster. In just a blink of an eye, he swallowed the shadow of the person in front of him. The tentacle monster that lost its shadow in a short time actually stopped in front of him.

The shadow swallowed by the shadow beast will be digested on the spot and turned into nutrients to strengthen itself. Zombie Moriah and the shadow beast have a symbiotic relationship, so naturally they can share most of the benefits.

Just eating a shadow made Zombie Moriah feel stronger. This magical thing made him a little fascinated. For the tentacle monster that contributed the shadow, he could only thank it with a slap.

With a slap, the tentacle monster flew away. When the mollusk touched the hard wall, it immediately imploded and turned into a blood mist. This result made Moria unbelievable. When did he become so strong!

Moria, who was in a state of confusion, naturally could not feel it, but Perona could see that the captain's body seemed to have become a little thicker and taller. Could it be that eating shadows was the same as blowing up a balloon, which could make the host's body bigger and bigger?

However, with this discovery, Moria's desire for shadows increased thousands of times. The shadows of the weak and the strong did not matter. He just wanted to devour more shadows to become stronger. Soon, more than a dozen victims appeared.

Judging from their clothes, they were also residents of the island, but one of them had his limbs replaced by tentacles, losing his breath of life and the qualifications to be a human being, and became a puppet of a certain creature. Moria took these tentacle monsters' shadows without hesitation.

After swallowing more than a dozen shadows in a row, Moriah could clearly feel that he had grown one meter taller, and his overall physical fitness was improved in all aspects. Even without the Armament Haki, he could beat some petty thieves to death with his bare hands.

If he encounters the Straw Hat Pirates again, he will never be as embarrassed as before. The next time he encounters them, he must take their shadows into his mouth. Without shadows, he cannot survive in the sun. Even the grandson of a navy hero is no exception. At that time, whether to kill Luffy or not is just a matter of thought.

Just as the zombie Moriah was looking forward to the future in his heart, the town was gradually covered by a black fog, and the visibility dropped to less than half a meter in a short time. Noisy footsteps came from his ears. There were at least hundreds of monsters this time.

"I can't help but come out. Let me see if the strength of the apostles has declined."

Xiaoyu was very excited when facing familiar things.The red light in the shadow became more bizarre and dazzling. She snapped her fingers several times on the spot, and the shadow of the Shadow Queen was quickly stretched and widened. The giant shadow troll group, one of the shadow legions, made a brilliant appearance.

The shadow of the Shadow Queen spread, gradually converging and merging with the surrounding black shadows, forming small giants as tall as ten meters. These small giants all have the sturdy physique of sumo wrestlers, with well-developed muscles and clear lines, showing a strong sense of power.

Their appearance is like a one-to-one replica, every detail is lifelike, as if they were carved from the same mold. They stand there, exuding an awe-inspiring aura, the embodiment of extreme power.

Watching hundreds of shadow trolls rushing out at once, even the earth was shaken by their steps, Perona sighed in her heart that it was fortunate that the captain had the initiative to surrender quickly, otherwise he would not know how he died.

These tentacle monsters with human characteristics were like little chicks in front of the shadow trolls. They were easily lifted up by the tentacles and then thrown to the ground.

Originally, they could have trampled each other to death, but the giant shadow trolls just wanted to perform, so they kept ravaging their enemies, making the tentacles wail and bones break, so as to win the favor of the queen.

With the help of hundreds of shadow trolls, Zombie Moria fished in troubled waters in the team and enjoyed this rare shadow feast. The shadows of hundreds of tentacle monsters made him eat well. The potential of the shadow beast was really unlimited. He felt that he was getting stronger all the time.

After completely solving all the miscellaneous soldiers, the person who caused all this suffering finally appeared. She held a candle in her hand and staggered in front of everyone.

"If you have some skills, then stay here and become my nourishment"

In the body of an old woman, a dull male voice came out from her throat
