Chapter 56: The Dark Cave
The waves roared and crashed against the cliffs, and below the cliffs were countless reefs, light and dark, on which it was impossible to move boats, but there were pros and cons, and the fish-people would not have paid attention to it at all.
At the bottom of the cliff, a deep dark hole faces the sea, and with the lapping of the waves, the sea water pours into it from time to time, but there seems to be a large space in the cave, although the sea water has been poured in countless times, but it does not overflow.
It was another wave bombardment, and the sea water slapped around the dark hole, making a dull noise, and the sea water poured in, and the waves splashed at the entrance of the cave, but suddenly there was a curse from the cave.
"Hell, the estimate is wrong!"
"I don't want to stay here for a moment, this damn hole!"
His voice was slightly hoarse, and the emotions contained in it were not very stable, but he seemed to be talking to himself, and there were no other voices in the cave to answer his words.
The sound of legs wading in the water sounded, and after a while, a short figure soaked with clothes emerged from the mouth of the cave.
"Damn Ness, didn't you say foolproof, how could it be like this!"
"You deserve to be a dead ghost!"
Quickly taking off the upper half of his clothes, the short Hart cursed in a low voice, scolding with both hands.
The sea water squeezed out and fell into the shallow surface of the sea beneath your feet, and the soaked clothes were slightly drier, but they were also very wet to the touch.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the sun was still very hot, and the short Hart hesitated for a moment, simply put his clothes on his shoulders, and lay forward with his bare upper body.
The cliff is arc-shaped, and the direction where the dark hole is located is only a corner of the arc, facing the sea, which is very hidden.
However, it is very difficult to get around, and the surrounding reef acts as an umbrella to stop the life of the ocean.
After struggling over the reef area, Hart climbed up the slightly bumpy cliff face.
The cliff is relatively far away from Bay City, and from the far distance of Hart on the outcrop of the cliff, he can only clearly see a tiny city in a hazy trance under the sunlight, and countless small "ants" around the city.
Hart climbed up the cliff and sat down in a dry place, muttering in a low voice, "It should be almost over, isn't it?
"What the hell, the slave girl I earned with great difficulty, I don't know which bastard I got cheaper!"
Hart was once sent by the Black Hand Pirates to assassinate the Lord of Bay City, and then successfully earned a slave girl and a long-awaited private room.
During that time, Hart lived a very fast life, and he was proud of the fact that he had no worries about food and clothing, and the faint improvement of his status on the ship, but the happy life did not last long, and it could even be said that it was only a few days.
First of all, the Black Hand Pirates were wanted by the Lord of Bay City at a high price, and in the face of countless peers who were eyeing each other, they had to abandon the business of Bay City and flee to the deep sea. Fortunately, the captain's prestige was very strong, and there was no chaos among the crew on board.
Struggling to escape to a secluded island, the crew thought it would be quiet for a few days, but they thought too much. Faced with the wanted people in Bay City, the captain did not mean to calm down, but ordered the crew to go to the deep sea and continue to collect fish and human eggs.
The process of collecting the Fish-Man's eggs was not all smooth sailing, as several of their colleagues were accidentally discovered by the Fish-People and turned into monster droppings.
There were very few such columns, and in the end, they successfully completed the task, so they all embarked on the road back with the excitement of returning to Bay City.
The return to the city went smoothly, and the captain managed to contact and convince his colleagues in Bay City, and then they began to implement the plan they had been planning for a long time with a sense of revenge.
The Fishmen invade Bay City, and they reap the benefits of the Fishermen!
It's a pity that it was well planned, but what actually happened didn't turn out the way they thought it would!
Nothing happened to Bay City, and they hid like lost dogs in this damp and dark cavern.
Thinking of the dampness of the cave under the cliff, Hart couldn't help but look at the countless red dots on his body.
It is a skin disease caused by too much moisture.
"Maybe I shouldn't have taken that job in the first place, or I wouldn't have gotten to this point. ”
Hart had been proud of his success in assassinating the lord, but he regretted it.
Although he didn't take on this task, someone else would take it too, but he couldn't help but be annoyed.
"The black hand boss is really reckless, and he doesn't even understand the roots of others and casually wants to teach others, now it's okay, when he meets a rich man who is a gold coin casually, thankless and provoked a commotion. ”
"So many pirate groups have suffered from him, what are you doing, it's really..."
When he was alone, Hart didn't have all the concerns he had in the past, and he complained endlessly for a while.
But complaining is complaining, he has not forgotten the task he came out of.
He's here to keep watch!
Although the cave is hidden, the pirates inside can't guarantee that their hiding place will not be revealed.
Therefore, in this period of about half a month, one person will be selected every day to come out to watch the wind, for fear that the pursuers of Bay City will come.
Although because of the existence of the fish-people, everyone thinks that this is unlikely.
"Amy still wants to grab this opportunity with me, hmph, it's really overwhelming. ”
Hart always had a habit of talking to himself when he was alone, and this time was no exception.
He muttered in a low voice as he casually looked at the distant city walls, not thinking that there would be any surprises in this mission.
Bay City is still surrounded by the fishmen, and it is impossible to have time to pay attention to their group of "betrayers", and they will have to wait until the fishmen retreat.
However, they had already planned to leave the place as soon as the fish-men retreated, and the pirate ships stationed in Bay City were not wanted, but several ships of the Black Hand Pirate Regiment were parked in a hidden place, which was large enough to almost hold the pirates in the dark hole, and the supplies in it were enough to save food and enough for them to escape to the Shark Islands in the deep sea.
Everyone knew that Bay City would not send people to them now, but they still sent a few lookouts every day, not only because of prudence, but also because of an obvious "benefit".
The space inside the cave is huge, but it is very humid because of the immersion in the seawater, and the pirates simply can't stand it if they stay there for a long time.
But they are afraid that they will be discovered by people or monsters if they stay outside, so every time they come out to look at the wind, they are basically alone, and they change the guard every once in a while.
Now it happened to be Hart's turn.
Whispering, Hart simply stopped looking back and forth, and collapsed on the cliff in large characters, squinting and enjoying the sunlight in the sky.
The sun was blazing, but he didn't care, and even felt quite comfortable.
In a trance, it seemed that the moisture on the body was constantly evaporated, and even the red spots and itching on the body seemed to have been reduced a lot.
But it didn't take long for him to sigh and get up, ready to get dressed and return to the dark cave.
It's time for the changing of the guard.
But before he could get dressed, Hart screamed as if he had suddenly seen a ghost, and without much hesitation, turned and ran.
Not far from him, an emaciated young man dressed in black appeared at some point, now looking at Hart's back and smiling.
