Master and I didn't know what Liu Jingao was doing, so we glanced at each other and followed him to the tail of the cabin.

Liu Jingao pointed to an iron door that was covered by a lot of debris and said, "There is a strange door here, which is locked with a big iron. I guess the fourth master may not know what is hidden in this door, so I asked you to take a look. ”

"I really didn't know there was a door here." I looked at the heavily corroded iron door, and shone a flashlight into it, only to find that the darkness behind the door could engulf the light, and the light of the strong flashlight could only reach less than two meters in this darkness, and it was completely indistinguishable from the night.

The master was even more surprised than me, and suddenly said: "Darkness from hell." ”

I smiled slightly: "Master also knows this kind of thing?". ”

Master's face darkened: "It is rumored that this darkness comes from the Abi Hell, and those trapped by this darkness will not only never be able to get rid of it, but will also fall into an extremely painful situation. "How did it end up in a boat?"

I praised, "I have to say that you are such a strange woman who reads a lot of books. ”

The master replied: "Don't make me happy, in this regard, you are the professor, I am just your student." ”

Liu Jingao interjected and said, "The fourth master...... Shall we go in and have a look? ”

I stared at Liu Jingao, smiled and said, "Are you afraid of death?" If you are not afraid of death, you will go in. Most of this darkness is bred by the dark matter brought into the human world by creatures who have escaped from hell or in the bodies of mortal beings, and perhaps there is a devil who eats human flesh and blood hidden behind this door. ”

Liu Jingao swallowed, his eyes were a little uneasy: "Then, then don't go in." We don't need to go in anyway. ”

I know that Liu Jingao is a curious person, but it is also difficult to change the fear of being entangled in danger. However, my master and I can't tolerate such an unknown space on our ship, and I don't know much about this kind of darkness, and I can't sleep at night until I explore it. While it's still daylight and the forces of darkness aren't strong, get your doubts clear as soon as possible.

I taught me a lesson: "Lao Liu, since you follow us, you have to train your courage well." In fact, many unnatural events are limited to one unknown thing, and if you look at it a few times, you will turn the unknown into a familiar and nothing will happen. And, when it matters most, this experience can save your life. ”

Liu Jingao hesitated for a moment: "Okay." Then I will follow you and see you for a long time. ”

I said, "Then don't stand still and move this mess away." ”

The lock of the iron door was already useless, and when I moved the debris, I pulled the lock and it broke.

I pushed open the door and walked in, whispering within the only two meters of vision. This space is like a prison cell, with many open animal cages fixed on both sides, and layers of dry and wrinkled blood stains are clearly visible on the animal cages, and the nearby wooden boards are full of scratches from fingernails.

The master asked, "What do you need so many cages for on one boat?" ”

I replied casually, "Didn't you use human trafficking in the past?" Maybe this ship did that. ”

As soon as I said this, I was slapped in the face by a scene in front of me. One of these cages is still locked, and inside lies a strange skeleton.

The master looked at the bones and asked, "This is not a person, is it?" ”

"Of course not people." I squatted down, put my hand into the cage, took out a bone and put it in the light to look at it carefully, and then said to the two people next to me: "The head of this corpse is the same as that of a human, but it is completely different when it comes to the part below the neck, the person is 12 pairs of 24 ribs, this guy has 18 pairs, and there are pinprick-like thin bones on the back bone, and there is also a significant bulge in the place of the tailbone, which may be a trace left by the tail degeneration, which is ..... Like a human-like fish. (Piranoids caught by sailors in the past)

Master can't help but think of mermaids, but the mermaids we have seen before are not like this, thinking back to the graceful figure of the fish dragon, just thinking about it makes people excited. It's good that this thing isn't disgusting now, it's a fish monster at most, right? Presumably, the people on this ship back then were by no means ordinary, and the reason why the accident happened later may also be related to these fish monsters.

So, the darkness from hell on the ship is related to the fish monsters?

So, in this darkness, there is the existence of the revenant spirit of the fish monster?

Analyzing this, everyone began to be frightened, and looked around cautiously, making sure that there were no dead ends, in case the enemy was taken by surprise.

However, since we entered the warehouse, we have not noticed any unusual noises or visions.

But just in case, we still blocked the door with heavy objects when we went out, so as not to be broken into by other people on the ship, because of the carelessness of the moment.

Back on deck, I approached Luo Tan to ask for more information about the ship. Aside from being curious and respectful of the mysterious Dreadnought, he didn't know much about it. When I spoke of what I had found in the cabin, he fell into deep contemplation, and then replied to me for a long time: "This ship is a child of the sea, a living being, and if there are other things on this ship that exist in the form of life besides us people, it must have a very close relationship with this ship, and it must be treated with care." In the evening, I said hello to everyone and didn't let anyone enter the warehouse. ”

I agreed, and at the same time told Luo Tan that he must arrange a few more people on duty at night to inspect the big and small corners of the ship, so as not to be exploited by the creatures of the sea. If the bones in the warehouse were from the sea, I'm afraid we'd already be targeted by unknown creatures.

At ten o'clock in the evening, we finally saw a strait between several islands in the thin sea fog. According to what Boss Su said, we must cross the archipelago, and then find an island overgrown with mangroves, then this strait is our route through the archipelago.

But it was already dark at night, and the currents and reefs in the strait were dangerous, so we decided to leave the boat in a calm bay for the evening and set sail again at dawn.

While everyone was busy making dinner, Luo Tan stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the island on the left and said to me, "Do you smell a fire, someone is lighting a fire on the island?" ”

I sniffed in the air and didn't notice. But I believe in Luo Tan's sense of smell, this kind of person who has spent half his life at sea, can detect smells that ordinary people can't detect.

I asked, "There shouldn't be ordinary people living in this place, and who would stay in this kind of place?" Pirate? ”

Luo Tan was very vigilant, looked up at the moonlight, and said, "I asked people to turn off all the lights on the boat, and then rowed a small boat to the island to have a look." If it's really a pirate, it's best to catch one and put it on board to show us the way. ”

After a brief dinner, Luo Tan and I each took a small wooden boat and took four people to the island. Considering the contingencies that need to be dealt with at any time, I did not bring Liu Jingao and the God of Wealth to the island. After all, the two of them are still literate and martial, and they can take care of the rear for a while, and when we don't arrive, we went to the island, and when we turned back, there was a problem with the boat.

It is a small island that does not look big, but the ecosystem is very intact. The dense forest was full of insects and small animals, and Luo Tan's subordinates were afraid that they would not have anything to eat in the future. However, these things were done very carefully, using the sword and arrow in their hands, and did not alarm other creatures nearby.

After about half an hour, in the center of the island, we found a fire that smelled of smoke, and when we got closer, the smell of roasted wild boar wafted from the fire.

We lurked on the hillside in the night. The master said, "There are really people. However, it seems that they did not come to this island on purpose, they are in such an embarrassed state, and there are still seafaring supplies stacked around them, so they should have been shipwrecked at sea. ”

I agree with the master's point of view: "Leave the two brothers in the back to pay attention to the surrounding movements, and the others go down with me." It's better to ask something, they should be more experienced in this sea than we were when we first arrived. ”

Luo Tan nodded and instructed the two people beside him: "Keep your eyes open, load the gun in your hand, and shoot directly if something is wrong." ”

Six men reached the bottom of the hill and approached the five men who were moving around the fire while observing the surroundings with their guns.

When a man by the fire spotted us, he was already close to us and could not escape, he put his hand where we could see and shook his head slightly, signaling us not to come nonsense.
