Batu walked tiredly on Skull Island, holding a pistol in his hand and not daring to relax for a moment, and behind him, three haggard-looking Thais followed closely.

At the beginning, there were a total of fifteen people who went to the island together, and after a night, there were only five people left, including himself. And just two hours ago, while passing through a forest, a Thai was tied together by a "willow tree" that suddenly twitched.

The branches of the willow tree wrapped the Thai tightly in it, shrinking and contracting. And above the branches, there were countless small thorns piercing his body, as if a straw drained all the blood from his body.

In just ten minutes, the Thai weighing more than 100 pounds was only skinned and bone, and the screams stimulated the hearts of the remaining people.

In the end, it was Batu himself who ended the Thai man's life.

Death is not terrible, no matter how many enemies there are, it is not terrible, what is terrible is that the enemy is completely unknown. What seems inconspicuous can be a deadly killer on this island. It's true that Batuu is a great Muay Thai fighter who has lived and died many times, but it's clear that he's far from being a match for these instinctual foes.

"Lord Batu, there's a cave ahead." As he was walking, a Thai man raised his eyes and looked into the distance before saying to Batu.

Listening to the words of his subordinates, Batu raised his head and looked at the bright cave in front of him, and struggled a little in his heart.

The cave looks majestic, and it should have been built by pirates here before.

Although it was built on the mountain, it also has a relatively ornate gate, and on top of the gate is a skull sign wearing a captain's hat and a blindfold.

The gate was rusty, half-open and half-hidden, and through the gap between the gates, you could see that there were some stone tables and benches placed haphazardly.

"Lord Batuu, could there be that kind of monster in here?" One of the Thais looked inside. He asked hesitantly.

Batu naturally knew what he meant, but he didn't have much certainty in his heart.

"Let's go and see first, if those Englishmen are here, we'll kill them, and then get the 'Crown of Wisdom' and leave here, if not, we'll go somewhere else." Batu looked inside and said to the remaining three.

Although the three of them were a little afraid in their hearts, they still nodded and did not say another word. You can see it. The "Crown of Wisdom" is indeed very important to them.

Gently pushing open the heavy door, the door that had not been opened for a long time made an unpleasant "creaking" sound. Listening to the hearts of the four people grinded their teeth.

After entering the cave, a cool air surrounded them from all directions, making the four of them shiver.

It was an old hall, with a lot of tables and chairs, all of which were lying messily on the floor, and in addition to these, there were some plates, animal skeletons, and so on. It looks like a banquet site that has been abandoned for many years.

"Be careful." Batu tightened his grip on the pistol. The nerves did not dare to relax in the slightest, after all, they had already paid a terrible price before this, if they were not careful. Not to mention finding the "Crown of Wisdom", it is impossible to even get out of this island by yourself.

The hall was very quiet, and it could even be said that it was a bit too quiet, and it was completely different from the outside world. Even the breeze outside didn't seem to be able to blow into this hall.

The four of them cautiously inspected the hall carefully, but found nothing, although this place is not small. But it can also be seen at a glance, and there is nothing suspicious.

"Lord Batu, they shouldn't have been to this place, and there are no footprints on the ground." A Thai man walked up to Batu and said.

"Lord Batu, there is still a road here, I don't know where it leads." At this time, another Thai trotted over to Batu.

Batu nodded after listening, and after checking it, he didn't make a decision for a long time.

And at this moment, an inaudible sound came from the distance of the passage that was discovered later.

The "jingle ......" is like the sound of a glass bottle rolling on the ground, and it is unusually clear in the empty cave.

"Let's go, let's see." After hearing this voice, Batu tightened his pistol and looked into the distance.

The sound stopped after only a faint sound, and Batu and his three men cautiously walked forward.

Slowly moving to the front of the passage, there is a larger building that looks like a square in front of everyone.

Like the hall I saw before, there were plenty of chairs and benches scattered around, and in the middle of the square, there were luxurious chaise longues that looked like beds.

The chaise longue was adorned with a lot of jewels, and some precious furs, of course, which had been corroded by this time.

"Lord Batuu, this was supposed to be a pirate's den before." A Thai said.

"Well, everyone be careful, this place needs to be paid attention to everywhere." Batu didn't let his guard down, and said after looking around.

The three of them nodded, scattered, and looked at them one by one.

The top of this hall is unroofed, and the visibility is slightly better, and there are many small holes around this square, and you can see from the shape of it, this is probably the former pirate opened as a residence.

A Thai cautiously walked into a bedroom, just pushed open the heavy stone door, a knife light appeared in his eyes, this knife light was extremely fast, the Thai did not have the slightest reaction by this knife light from the beginning to the end of the split in half.

Fresh blood and hot internal organs instantly spilled to both sides, as if a fuse, and there were no small sounds in every bedroom.

"Lord Batuu!" The remaining two Thais were shocked and gathered around Batuu, watching in horror at the voices coming from all directions.

Out of these small bedrooms came skeletons, some of them were barehanded, some were armed with scimitars, and even a few skeletons were holding quaint old-fashioned muskets in their hands, but due to the fact that they had not been used for a long time, these muskets were already covered with rust and should no longer be used.

"Get out of here!" Batu let out a loud cry and was about to turn around and leave the way he came, but when he turned his head, he was dumbfounded, and he didn't know when several skeletons had appeared on the way. (To be continued......)

PS: On the first day of the new year, I punched in to greet everyone, and I wish you all the spirit of Ryoma in the new year, and all your wishes come true.
