There was a coercion from under the sea that Andy had never felt before, and he felt as if he had become a small fish under the stormy waves, in danger of being swallowed at any moment.

It was an irrepressible fear that rose from the bottom of my heart.

Andy took a deep look at the churning octopus tentacles in the sea, took a sharp breath, and swam his feet up and down like a fish, quickly swimming towards the location of the temple.

"Boss, that little imp has run away!"

A pirate with a head like a sea urchin casually turned around, caught a glimpse of Andy who was swimming away from the pirate ship quickly, his face changed, and he shouted at the shark first mate.

"Ran away?"

The first mate of the shark looked up and saw Andy swimming in the direction of the temple.

"Let him go, that kid is not like us, he can't stay in the sea all the time. ”

The first mate of the shark gave up the idea of retrieving Andy, Andy was not the same as the crew of the Flying Dutchman, he had no curse on him, he could not breathe in the sea, and it was impossible to stay in the sea for a long time.

Coupled with the fact that the sea is full of those weird monsters now, it is extremely dangerous to stay on the ship.

One of the shark's first mate had been bitten off one of his arms, apparently from these monsters, and he twisted the wrist of his other hand and shouted at the octopus sea monster.

A huge tentacle slid past the side, wrapped the shark first mate, and quickly came to the front of a monster, the shark first mate's long sword flashed with azure light, splitting the black mist and stabbing into the monster's body.

"Tsk~"

An ear-piercing scream came from the black mist, and the faces on the monster's tentacles all turned into expressions of pain and wail.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

The shark first mate sneered, and the azure light flickered, dispersing the black mist of the undead, revealing the crystal flesh inside, and the shark first mate opened his mouth wide, revealing the sharp teeth inside, and bit it.

Blood splashed, the shark first mate unscrupulously sucked the monster's blood, under the stimulation of blood, the shark first mate's hidden nature in the body has been completely exposed, he frantically devoured the blood of the prey in his mouth, completely ignoring the monster's tentacles constantly wailing human face marks.

A large amount of blood is lost, causing the monster's body to become more and more shriveled, and in the end, it even becomes bloodless.

Sharks are the bloodthirsters of the ocean.

And with the shark's first mate sucking blood, his severed arm grew little by little.

However, if Andy were here, he would have noticed that this new arm seemed to be bluer than before.

......

"That's what it is...... Ancient temples?"

Andy swam to the shore and climbed up with his hands on the rocks, and not far in front of him was an ancient building made of stone.

On both sides of the building are two large humanoid stones, which are depicted with special dyes to depict the facial features of the face, and the overall appearance looks like two stone guards with expressionless faces.

Indifferent.

This was Andy's first impression when he saw the stone man.

Underneath the stone man, there were several huge round stones placed irregularly, Andy walked over gently, and found that the stones were inlaid with all kinds of ancient turtle shells and shells, and he didn't know what the purpose was.

The old stone building in front of it, perhaps because of its seaside location, has a slippery moss moss at the bottom of the stone pier, barnacles and oysters clinging to it, and the carcasses of small fish scattered on it.

In front of the building was a stone gate made of regular rectangular stones, and huge gaps could be seen between the stones, and Andy even suspected that if the sea water not far away made waves, it might be able to overturn the stone gate.

However, he was obviously overthinking, the building had been standing here for an unknown amount of time, but it had always been preserved as it had just been built.

Behind the stone gate is a temple-like stone building, which does not seem to have a lot of space inside, but there is a stone corridor behind the building, which leads to the bottom of the cliff, and if nothing else, it should be connected to the stone cave under the cliff.

In other words, the real space of the ancient temple is actually inside the cliff wall.

"Another cursed door?"

Andy thought of the expedition to Terga Harbor, behind the Gate of the Damned, a wide space hidden behind the rocky cliffs.

"If you can attract David Jones, it is not so easy to think about. ”

Andy walked to the front of the stone door and stroked it gently, the stone was smooth, with water vapor attached to it, and there seemed to be nothing special.

Andy looked up and pursed his lips, and the scarlet light flashed, and the muscles in Andy's arms began to bulge.

The stones that make up the stone gate are not moving, as if they had grown out of the rocks underground.

Andy withdrew his hand, clapped his palms, and walked inside.

The temple was filled with a peculiar smell, like the smell of unburned lamp oil, mixed with a damp and moldy smell and the fishy smell of the sea, which was very uncomfortable.

Andy looked inside the temple, where the stone walls were inlaid with a few night pearls, providing a small amount of light for the dark interior of the temple.

Through the faint light of those night pearls, Andy could see that the stone walls of the temple were full of strange murals, and Andy couldn't figure out the content of the murals.

It seems to be a scene of a certain tribe performing sacrifices, and it seems to record the daily life of some indigenous people.

In addition to these colorful murals, there are clear traces carved with sharp objects on the stone walls at some corners.

And in the very center of the temple is a human figure also carved out of stone.

However, this sculpture is much more detailed than the stone figures outside, and if it weren't for the fact that the skin of the sculpture is full of stone texture, Andy would even think that this is a human being.

On the head of the statue is a gold crown encrusted with jewels, which still shines brightly even in the night.

Andy knew it was a treasure of pure gold, and every jewel on it was worth a fortune, but the fact that it was still here proves something.

Although the crew of the Flying Dutchman didn't need much gold and silver jewelry, as a pirate, they wouldn't let such a treasure stay here.

So there's only one answer.

If this crown is taken away from the top of the head of the stone statue, then there must be some kind of price.

Such a price that even the crew of the mighty flying Dutchman could not afford.

Maybe it's a maggot like a tarsal bone, maybe it's the collapse of something important in an ancient temple, or both.

In addition to this gold crown, the statue also carries several gemstone rings on its fingers and a short staff in the other hand, which also appears to have been made of gold.
