Barnett's psychological defenses are broken, and he cannot forgive himself for betraying his friend.

"Now he needs your help, Barnett, and I'm confident you're going to make the right choice. Downing waited for the monster captain's reply.

Putting the letter away, Barnett's attitude became kind. "You say Mr. Adebayo has found a way to lift the curse?"

"Yes, he has found a way, and the only way, and as for Edwardditch's promise to you, it is only to deceive you. Downing replied in confidence.

Barnett clenched his fists, and the rattans thumped against the deck with a crisp sound, and said angrily, "Damn Edwardditch, and those lackeys of yours, I swear to get you out." ”

The defection of the Black Forest greatly strengthened the Dreadnought's fleet, but soon a new problem came to Barnett, who refused to cooperate with anyone, and he had to go alone to the Blony Islands to end Aldrich's life, and even Downing could not stop it.

"They have deceived me, and I have to make you pay a terrible price. Barnett dropped the words and headed for the Blonni Islands with the Black Forest, but Downing knew in his heart that the captain wanted an explanation for the Hellwalkers.

Barnett, who has a strange personality, doesn't trust anyone easily.

The Holy Mountain will also go to some seas to pick up the pirate kings who have been loyal to Aldrich, now that the pirate alliance has fallen apart and the battle for the seas has begun a new prologue, Downing's goal has been achieved, and then he only needs to wait for the harvest, and the Silver Dawn has to return to port.

For the time being, this war will not be fought by the Silver Dawn, which will be used against the most formidable enemy, the true ruler of the Pirate Alliance, Edward Teach.

Three days later, when the Silver Dawn returned to port, the not-so-good news came that Pugna had escaped and Taylor had vanished.

"We've asked the local officials for help, including all of our networks, and the matter is related to the gangster Anil in the port of Royce, but Anil has fled, but we are trying, and we have been informed that the old guy who escaped has hired a fishing boat to cross the Reuss Strait, and there is no way to trace his whereabouts. ”

A representative of an Oriental merchant gave Tangning some information.

Downing couldn't trust these guys, he had to find the trace of the Anil himself, and before that he went to the local dim sum chain to calm the mind and keep Taylor's hard work running.

Soon news came that the Oriental merchants had caught a thug who knew something inside.

In a small, dark room in the port of Royce, the Oriental merchants set up a lynching place, hidden so that others could not easily detect it.

"That's all I know, please, let me go. "The thugs were tortured and pleaded with their executioners.

If the torture continues, the guy should die, and the executioner stopped, walked out of the small dark room, and entered a brightly lit room.

"Sir, he knows only so much and nothing else. ”

The Oriental merchant in the room looked at the young man sitting in a chair. "I don't think he would have lied in the face of torture. ”

Downing got up from his chair, one thing he couldn't figure out, according to the thug, Taylor had been kidnapped, and then Pagna asked him about the kidnapper, which meant that Pagna was not the initiator, and the guards had also said that Pagner had warned them that Taylor was in danger.

It seems that the truth is a little different from what he imagined, it is not that Pugna kidnapped Taylor, Pugna escaped just to save Taylor, and the brave girl changed the evil guy.

Pugner hired a fishing boat to cross the Reuss Strait, not to escape, but to save people, this series of connections means that Taylor may return to the port of the Gold Coast, Pugner has no way to avoid the port of the Oriental merchant ships, he cannot return to the Gold Coast by sea, then there is only land.

The kidnappers of Taylor came from the port of the Gold Coast, and it became clear that the kidnappers were from lackeys of a mysterious organization, which was more dangerous than ordinary gangster kidnappings.

"To get me across the Reuss Strait, I'll have to get back to the Gold Coast port by land. "Downing decided to travel overland to the Gold Coast from the quicker route.

"There is a lot of uninhabited land on the mainland on the other side of the Strait of Kreus, which is very dangerous. "The Eastern merchant expressed concern.

"Do as I say. "Downing has made up his mind, he must save Taylor.

The thug was eventually executed, risking his life for a thousand Lydias.

The endless no-man's land, the vast Gobi Desert, and even some terrifying forests have made Pugner suffer a lot, but he is determined to rescue Miss Taylor.

As the night fell silent, Pugna tied his horse to a tree in the dark forest, and the trees that shaded the sky made the ground pitch black, and the night was a little chilly.

Pugna took out a dagger, chopped off some fresh branches for his horse, and stroked the horse's nose as he looked tired. "Taylor, you're going to take me to the Gold Coast, aren't you, your loved ones need your rescue. ”

He named the horse he was a companion and called him Taylor, and he was the only one who could listen to him on the lonely journey.

Finding a small clearing, Pugner picked up some dry branches, lit a bonfire, and sat down in front of the campfire and took out some dry food, which he had brought with him a lot, and now there was not much left.

After eating some and drinking a little water, Pugna stared at the campfire, praying that God would bless Taylor, and the firelight illuminated the surroundings a little, and he saw the true faces of the trees, which were a little weird, and the trees were bent in the same direction.

A cold wind blew and sparks flew from the campfire, and Pugner tightened the Esdiarra magic robe to preserve the heat from his body.

When he looked down, he saw the "Blessing of Podier" that began to flicker in his chest, it was that danger was approaching, and Pugna looked around, with some fear in his heart.

Soon a figure appeared in the darkness, it was a young woman, standing in the distance, looking terrified. "Sir, help me. ”

Pugna saw the woman's intentions, but he knew what the girl was, picked up a thick stick from the fire, and with a thick flame, warned, "Don't come, get out of here." ”

The girl fell to the ground, looking frightened, looking behind her, and pleaded, "Sir, please, save me, there is a beast behind me, and I am separated from my companions." ”

Pugna will never be deceived by these lies, wielding a fire stick. "Get out of here, don't let me see you, or I'll be rude to you. ”

The girl looked panicked and unbuttoned her chest, revealing her white breasts. "Sir, I can repay you with my body, don't let me go, I'm cold, I need a fire. ”

"Get dressed, get out of here, you damn wicked thing, I won't be deceived by you. "Pugna is strong-willed, and he will never be deceived by evil things.

It could be seen that the old man would not believe it easily, and the girl's expression changed, becoming cold, and with a grim smile, she stood up from the ground, and stroked the long nails on her left hand with her right hand. "Sir, don't you have the slightest sympathy for a girl who is suffering, it's frustrating. ”

"You're not a suffering girl, my eyes can see all evil, get out of here. Pugna held the fire stick in both hands, watching his opponent's every move.

The girl's lips were red and her teeth were white, her eyes became charming, and her nails crossed her white chest. "It seems that none of this can fool you, but once you enter the Dark Forest, there is no way to leave alive. ”

Her gaze became fierce and sharp, and she saw the horse not far away, and her body turned into a white light and rushed to the horse.

"Leave my horses. Sensing the other man's intentions, Pugna rushed to his only partner with a fire stick, but it was too late.

The horse neighed and was tossed to the ground, and the girl lay on the horse's neck, sucking the blood until the horse lost its movement.

Pugner retreated to the side of the fire, watching this scene, he had no choice but to hope that the other party had sucked enough blood and left quickly.

But the girl was obviously not satisfied, she killed the horses, got up and wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth, and her skin became like that of an old woman, and she was horrified and hideous, revealing her yellow teeth stained red with blood, and gradually approached Pagna. "Passerby, now it's your turn. ”

Pugner could not die, he had to rush to the Gold Coast, but he had lost the protection of the Holy Light, and he had no magic to deal with the terrible witch, so he fell to his knees and begged, "Spare me, please." ”

The evil witch would not let go of the opportunity to suck human blood, the witch's skin was cracked, the clothes on her body became tattered, and she smiled fiercely: "It's useless, come to me obediently, maybe I will be kind and make you suffer less." ”

Plea to no avail, Pagna threw the fire stick in her hand at the witch and tried to attack, but the witch dodged and rushed to Pugna in a gust of wind, and when her rough palm touched Pugna's clothes, the scarlet light exploded.

The witch was knocked away, the skin of her palms scorched, and she let out a painful roar with a look of surprise. "What's that on you?"

Only then did Pugna remember his Esdiarra magic robe, which was immune to all supernatural powers, and he wrapped the Esdiarra magic robe around his body and roared in warning. "Fuck off. ”

The witch was afraid of the magical robe, but she wouldn't leave so easily, the dark forest had been alive for a long time, and they were all around, watching Bagner. "Old fellow, a damn magic robe won't save you, I'll do it. ”

There is no way for Pugna to drive them away, so he can only sit here and wait for the dawn, after which the witches will disappear, these evil witches are different from wizards, they are afraid of the sun.

The witch tried to attack, but was repelled each time by the magic robe, which caused her patience to gradually lose sight. "Damn it, get out of my forest, I don't want to see you again. ”
