Old man West Langley told us mysteriously that he knew a secret path that could directly enter the shrimp island from underwater. If we can ambush on the island in advance, we can catch Gal by surprise.
The secret path the old man mentioned is located at the end of Red Bay, not far from the shrimp island in a straight line. The entrance to the secret path is a natural cave, half of which is submerged in the sea. I have to dive into it. Most of us are landlubbers. Let alone diving, whether we can swim or not is a big question.
I mentioned this very real problem, but old man West Langley didn¡¯t care at all. He said that he would have a way to take us there when the time comes.
The deadline Gal gave us was midnight on the third day, so we had just over two days to prepare.
Montetier, Beatrille and Zygro basically don¡¯t know how to fight, so I had to arrange for the three of them to be the backup, while Lilith and I focused on training for night fighting.
On the third day, I put the piece of gold birdcage in a leather bag and asked him to carry it with him as our ransom.
At night, Wes Langley took us to the entrance of the secret path in the northwest of the bay.
The moon at night was very big, as big as an oxcart wheel. We barely used torches and could see the cave clearly through the moonlight.
The entrance to the cave starts from where Wes Langli is standing to the foot of Asantean. I visually estimate that there are at least about 20 steps, and it extends diagonally downwards into the sea.
Stanton threw a stone down, and there was a "plop, plop" sound. Only then did I realize that the inside of the entrance was actually dry and not submerged by sea water.
We couldn¡¯t help but look at the old man West Langley strangely. The old man shrugged and then told us:
"I am not the Supreme God, but I know that today will be a full moon night. Every time the moon comes, the sea water in this secret path will recede."
"Then do you want to continue standing here in a daze? Or do you want to go in with me?" Westlandi went down into the cave first.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT OUT OF THE DRAW Firstly, because I was moved, and secondly, because I really couldn¡¯t defeat this guy, so I agreed to take him with me, but I asked him not to leave me even half a step.
We arrived at the cave one by one, lit the whale oil torch, and walked along the stone path washed out by the sea water under our feet toward the end of the secret path.
"Hey, old man West Langley, what are those things hanging on the top of this damn place?" Will Cremo, who was walking in the lead, noticed the disgusting things above our heads with sharp eyes. .
"Don't touch it!" West Langley quickly grabbed Cremo's hand that was about to touch the thing.
"These are the roots of bloody sheep's horns. They are poisonous and can kill people if they get even a little bit on them."
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? This disgusting thing is indeed not a good product, I almost got hit in the face just now.
In view of the horror of the bloody horns, we had to slow down and walk carefully. It took more than an hour (one hour) to reach the exit of the secret path. The exit of the secret path is on the south side of Shrimp Island, at the junction of the silver beach and vegetation.
I gathered the guys together and counted the number of people, and suddenly I found that old man West Langley was missing. I was looking around, but the exit of the secret path behind me was blocked by a huge boulder with a "bang" sound. I subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
"Stanton, let me ask you, where did you find West Langley that day?" I grabbed Stanton and asked.
"On the way."
"On the road? So you haven't entered the village at all." I almost wanted to slap someone.
"Yes, how do you know?"
"You pig!" I let go of Stanton and sat down on the ground.
What to do? It was obvious that West Langley had lured us here on purpose. Why didn't I ask Stanton why he came back so quickly? Hey, it's all my fault!
"Listen, everyone, West Langley should be a pirate. Now that he has escaped, we have no way out." I thought about it and told everyone the news. I didn't want everyone to panic, but I didn't want everyone to panic in the end. At this critical moment, everyone was kept in the dark.
"Go all the way!"
¡°Here he is.¡±
"You are responsible for protecting Montetier! Stanton, follow Lilith closely. Asantean, Cremo, follow me." I gave the order briefly, and then led the team into the dense forest.
??Xiaodao is a small island in Hongwan, with a radius of less than one mile, but the jungle here is so dense that it is difficult to find even a road. It has been some time since I led the team into the dense forest.It's been a while, but there's still no sign of anyone moving.
"What's going on? Shouldn't there be no movement?" I looked at the moon in the night sky that was about to reach my head, and I felt a little panicked.
"Hey, Diboer, there seems to be a bright light ahead." Klimo, who was clairvoyant, made another discovery.
I took a closer look, and sure enough, there was the light of a torch not far in front of us. I immediately sneaked over quietly with my team.
This is a man-made open space. Pirate Gal and his men are eagerly awaiting our arrival, while Little Dennis and others are tied to pillars in the center of the open space. Although the pirates monitored little Dennis and the others very closely, it could be seen that they did not treat the prisoners very badly.
"Damn it! Boss, are they coming or not? It's almost time. Should we prepare to kill people?" We were not far away, and we could faintly hear the pirates' conversations.
I looked at the time and couldn¡¯t wait for West Langley to show up. I had to go out now, otherwise the pirates wouldn¡¯t be able to kill anyone later.
"Stanton and Asantean will go out with me. The rest of the people will stay in place and are not allowed to show their faces without my order. Do you hear me?"
After getting affirmative answers from several people, I jumped out of the jungle and appeared in the sight of the pirates.
"Haha! He is indeed a knight who keeps his word. I admire him." Captain Gal of Red Bay walked over surrounded by a group of men.
As soon as we appeared, we were surrounded by vigilant pirates. I signaled the two impulsive guys not to move and allowed the pirates to collect our weapons. Now, the few of us stood in front of Gal without any threat.
"Who are you from the Knights? You are an official, how do you call me?" Gal asked me politely. It seems that this guy may have been a noble knight before.
¡°Hmph, you¡¯re such a bastard, you still have the nerve to ask our leader, Mr. DuBoer, his name?!¡± Stanton was a big pig. Before I opened my mouth, he answered very neatly.
"Oh, Captain Diboer! It's better to meet him than to be famous. He is really talented and handsome" Garr talks a lot of nonsense.
"Gall, are you bothered? Let's let him trade quickly so we can all go our separate ways." I couldn't help it and yelled loudly.
Pirate leader Gal is indeed not a fool. When he saw that I was empty-handed, he knew that we had an ambush. As he spoke, his men had already entered the dense forest and began to search for Lilith and the others. But it was so dark that it was hard to find a few people who wanted to hide. After a while, the pirate search team came back empty-handed.
"Commander Diboer, you don't look like you are joking. Where is the money you brought?" Garr rubbed his hands and then put his hand on the handle of the knife.
"Of course you bring the money with you. We are not stupid enough to show up with people and money. You let my people go immediately, and I will tell you where to get the money." I pretended to be firm on purpose.
"Haha!" Gal suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Aren't you stupid? Do you think we must be stupid? Don't talk nonsense! Let him go when he sees the gold, otherwise he will be chopped off together with you when the time comes!" Gal called to his men to free Little Dennis and the others from the pillar, and we Bundled in a pile.
"No, it seems that we really have no negotiable conditions. I was thinking about how to get out, but I walked out of the woods carrying a leather bag.
"The money is here. It's a lot more than you need. Take it." After saying that, he threw the bag on his shoulder violently and landed in front of Gal with a "bang".
"Open it quickly and take a look!" Gal didn't care about sending it all the way. He immediately ordered his men to check the bag.
"Boss! It's gold! It's such a big lump!"
"Not only gold, but also precious stones!"
The pirates opened their leather bags and all looked salivating.
"Put it down for me and get out of here!" Garr put one foot on his pocket, pulled out his machete and drove away his men.
"Dipor, you are indeed a grown-up, I admire you. Come here, untie them and let them go!"
Gal¡¯s men rushed over and tried their best to loosen our bonds.
"Let them go! Haha! Where to put them? No one is allowed to leave!" A figure suddenly appeared among the pirates.
"Wesley!" I blurted out.
"Who?!" Gal shouted, and the pirates drew out their scimitars and surrounded West Langley.
"Haha, how dare you stop me, Sir West Langli, with you little thieves? What a joke! Haha, look at your feet."
"Ah! ??! ","WTF? ah! Monster! "
I don¡¯t know when, all of our ankles were covered with the disgusting bloody horns from the cave. I wanted to move, but I felt a heartbreaking pain.
"Don't move around. I'm warning you, my babies are much stronger than they look." West Langley ignored the frightened people and didn't even glance at the big gold nugget on the ground. He walked towards the middle of the open space and stood between the pillars.
West Langley took out a strange small bowl from his body, bent down, and carefully placed it under his feet. Then he took out an equally weird sharp dagger and cut his palm open.
West Langley's blood dripped down his wrist, and fell into the strange little bowl drop by drop. Suddenly, the small bowl on the ground sank into the ground and disappeared. While we were surprised, a whirlpool appeared where the small bowl disappeared. The whirlpool slowly expanded, exuding a stench.
"My supreme and extremely powerful master! Enjoy your feast to the fullest!" As Wes Langley's chant sounded, a pirate who was already covered in bloody goat horns appeared It was rolled up and slowly moved to the sky above the whirlpool,
"Poof!" There was an explosion, and the mesh-like blood horns shrank instantly, and the pirate wrapped in them was twisted into blood foam before he could even say a word, allowing the vortex on the ground to be quickly sucked clean.
