Chapter 263: The Corpse on the Rock Wall (200 Monthly Ticket Plus Update)
Although Longbottom's men had left, it was destined to be a sleepless night.
Almost all the pirates did not rest, they gathered the bodies of their dead companions in one place, threw them from the cliff side into the sea, the pirates took off their hats, no one spoke at this moment, everyone was a little heavy, in the battle just now, almost half of Jack's men died.
After doing this, the pirates leaned against the trees and talked in a whisper, scimitars and muskets in their hands, for fear that if they didn't pay attention, dozens of pirates would come out of nowhere.
Anna and Margaret didn't have that many worries, because they were so tired from the battle that they squeezed into Andy's side in the middle of the night and fell asleep.
Even if they knew that Olivia was better than Andy, it didn't give them a sense of security.
Since the Monolith's Gate could not be opened during the day, and although it was only a little more than an hour away from the town of Terca, Jack did not let the pirates return to the town, he was afraid that someone would take advantage of the opportunity to set a trap here after they left, and it was always a good idea to be careful.
Jack spent hundreds of gold coins to buy back the alchemy potion, hoping that the pirates would recover from their injuries before the night came, and of course, two of them were so badly injured that their arms were cut off, and Jack had to have them sent back to the town's hotel.
By the time night fell again, there were only twelve of them except Andy Eight, and Jack and them could participate in the expedition.
Jack couldn't see any expression, but Andy could still see the guilt and sadness hidden in his eyes, and he took a deep breath to get the pirates into action.
Andy had no idea how to get into the Boulder Gate, so he wasn't prepared for it, but Jack was well prepared, and the pirates took out four thick cables from their packages, one end tied to a wide tree in the jungle, and the other end hung down a cliff.
After all of this, Jack called in Crook, the strong pirate, whose role tonight was to manage the pirates guarding the cliffs and make sure no one cut the rope while they went down.
That's right, the only people who can go down tonight are Andy, Jack, Olivia, and Sally.
Everyone else had to stay on the cliff to keep the ropes safe.
Andy obviously didn't expect this to happen, and he thought that everyone would enter the Stone Gate, but it was nothing, and Andy was not at ease with Jack's men guarding the rope.
He specially found other people and gave them a few words.
Anna and they have three magic weapons, Margaret's witchcraft is a little successful, and Riye is a terrifying guy who has mastered the secret methods of cannibals, and Andy is a lot more relieved to have them.
It's just that this makes Anna and Margaret a little unhappy, they really want to participate, but they also know that their strength is not enough, and it is also very important to stay on top, so they reluctantly agreed.
It can be seen that the two of them have begun to feel pressure on their weakness, which may be a good thing.
After telling everyone, Andy came to the edge of the cliff, looking at the water shining with silver brilliance in the moonlight, and his heart changed from nervous to calm.
"The Monolith's Gate is hidden in the rock wall below, and there is a witchcraft there, and only the midnight moonlight can reveal the Monolith's Gate, so we can only act at night. ”
Jack said to Andy as he stood on the edge of the cliff, feeling the somewhat violent sea breeze.
Andy poked his head out and looked down, the cliff was hundreds of meters high, and below it was a huge protruding reef and sweeping waves, which made a loud crashing sound from time to time, and Andy even suspected that if he fell, he would also fall into a mess of broken flesh and bones.
Jack looked at the moon above the horizon, he thought for a moment and said, "Wait a little longer, it's not midnight yet, when the moonlight envelops all the sacred sea, that is, the time when the Gate of the Rock appears, we only have a few minutes, if it's late, we will have to wait until tomorrow." ”
Olivia walked over to Andy, she still hid herself under the black robe, and Jack looked at her, squinting and saying nothing.
Olivia had a very strong aura of death, and even the black crow abandoned Andy and stood on Olivia's shoulder, and Andy believed that Jack must be able to feel Olivia's breath.
When the time was about right, Sally also walked over, and it was obvious that his eyes were very calm.
He already knew that Jack was going to give Andy the chalice fragments behind the Monolith's Gate, but it was nothing, anyway, Jack promised him that the chalice fragments in the collection in the captain's room of the ghost pirate ship would be his, not to mention that Jack solved his biggest fear, as long as he joined the ghost pirate ship, he would no longer have to live in fear.
You don't have to flee to the barren ice sea for your life, and live a life of fishing and shrimp every day.
It's just a pity that most of the sailors on the Beamon are not qualified to join the ghost pirate ship, not to mention that Jack will not allow him to bring his henchmen on board, because that will bring hidden dangers to the ghost pirate ship.
But...... They might choose to join that guy's pirate ship......
Sully looked at Andy's side face, he knew that this was a guy who looked thin, but there was a huge amount of strength hidden in his body, and Victor admired him after his wrist was shattered by his punch......
He doesn't look like himself......
I'm just a monster who can't be a human or a beast......
Sully took a deep breath, he turned his head and looked at the moon in mid-air, as if tears flashed in his eyes.
"Alright, Andy, we're going down. ”
Jack looked at the time, and he turned his head and waved at the pirates.
"I'll go down first, Andy will follow me, then Olivia, and Sully will be at the back, is there any problem?"
Jack opened his mouth and said, he was the only one of the three who knew the Great Stone Gate best, and knew where the stone X hole on the cliff wall was, he grabbed the cable, pulled it hard, found it very strong, and nodded with satisfaction.
You know, falling off this hundred-meter-high cliff and smashing on the uneven reef, even he will be crushed.
The most sailor, Jack is no stranger to cables, he held the rope tightly, wrapped one end of his body around his body, and jumped off the cliff little by little in front of Andy and the others.
Then Andy and the others followed Jack's example and jumped off the cliff.
Maybe it's because of the cliff facing the sea, the cliff is very wet, and if you are not careful, your feet will slip, and it will be covered with moss and some strange plants, and when you step on it, it will make a strange squeezing sound, spewing out a stream of slime, which makes Andy feel a little nauseous.
After descending a distance of about twenty meters, Andy was startled by the scene in front of him.
On the cliff face, there were more than a dozen decomposing corpses, yes, they seemed to be inlaid on the cliff, each with a hideous expression, the crow on Olivia's shoulder fluttered its wings, landed in a protruding position, pecked a rotten eyeball, but they seemed to be like the two corpses in the mouth of the port town of Terga, the carrion never disappeared, and after a while the eyeball grew again.
"It's almost here, the corpses that once died behind the Stone Gate should all appear here......"
Jack whispered, looking at the corpse in front of him, mouth open, tongue moving, and seemed to retch.
Everyone was silent, and Andy clutched the cable, took a deep breath, and continued down.
