Chapter 54: The Ghost Ship Master
Wren tugged at the rope and began to climb up. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
The people above were worried that the plank would be overwhelmed, so they didn't dare to move, and they each kept their positions still, pulling the rope tightly to prevent Wren, who was climbing on it, from slipping down.
By the light of the torches, Wren climbed to the first deck near the deck and noticed a dark shadow flashing in the first deck.
This made Wren, who was still hanging in the air, almost let go.
"What is it in the dark?" Wren pondered in his head, his hand speeding up, this ship might not really be that simple.
Finally crawling to the mouth of the hole, the sailor, who had been holding the torch, hurriedly squatted down and stretched out his hand to pull Rennes.
Suddenly, a claw grabbed Wren's ankle and dragged him down, and Larayne's sailor fell with him, as did the two men who were dragging the rope closer to the hole.
The remaining two were dragged to the ground because they were far away, and the rope that broke away from them had worn off a layer of skin on their palms.
As he was dragged down, Wren felt his feet loosen, and the claw that had grabbed his ankle was gone.
Together with the torches that had been dragged down, Wren was able to see his surroundings clearly.
This is the first floor of the ship, and the three sailors and mercenaries who have been dragged down together are getting up from the ground.
"Be careful, everybody! I was scratched by a claw. Wren held his sword firmly this time, and he held it to the side of the passage that had not been smashed out.
The three people behind him drew out the weapons on their waists and came behind Wren, with the firelight and his companions by his side, Wren's heart settled down a little.
Seeing that the rope was still there, Wren asked one of them to clean up before returning to the hole.
Looking further up, he didn't see any of his companions on it, and then he used the torch to shine down, and below was the second floor where Wren had fallen before, and the broken planks were still there.
After shouting several times up and down, but not hearing the response of the remaining two companions, after judging the current situation, Wren decided to go up the escalator, and return to the deck through the hatch on the escalator.
Wren recalled the touch of his feet being clutched by his cold, slippery claws, and thought that it must not be a ghost playing tricks, but probably some monster sneaking up on him.
So he hurriedly passed this information to the three partners, which could make everyone not so nervous, after all, it was better to face monsters than ghosts.
The former can still rely on the weapon in his hand to fight for a chance of survival, while the latter has no idea what to do.
The four of them cautiously walked through the rotting cabin, a hoarse squeak coming from each step of their feet, and the sound was distinctly clear in the dark corridors of the cabin.
Reaching the escalator without being attacked by the enemy, Wren asked his three companions to climb up first, and himself to go up last.
It may be that the old wood is badly damaged, and the sailor who went up first climbed halfway up the wooden escalator broke off.
Now it's troublesome, there is no escalator to open the wooden cover of the deck, and I don't know if the two companions above thought of opening the barn door, so that they can throw the rope up and let them pull it up, and pull people up one by one.
After waiting for a while, Wren judged that his assumptions were wrong, and that the two companions above had not come to open the door, so he looked for another way back.
"Are you in such a hurry to leave?" In the dark corridor of the cabin behind him, a man's voice suddenly sounded, and the man who listened to this voice was not very old.
Wren quickly took the torch from the sailor's hand and hurried to the corridor behind him, only to find it empty.
But the man's voice rang out again in the darkness that could not be illuminated by the fire: "Don't be nervous! I won't hurt you for a while." β
"Who are you?" Wren took two quick steps with his torch in his hand, trying to see the figure on the edge of the fire, but the other party was still one step faster than him, keeping his distance again and appearing at the edge of the firelight.
Wren didn't continue, he stopped, stood where he was, and said to the black shadow, "Won't Your Excellency show up and speak as your true face?"
"There's no need for that!" the shadow still didn't mean to appear in the firelight, he still stayed in the place where the fire couldn't shine, and said to Wren, "I stopped you, just to ask you to do me a favor." Of course, not the White Gang, I will give you a good reward. β
Wren didn't let his guard down because of the big reward and the request for help, and he wasn't sure if the man in the dark was friend or foe: "What's the problem? β
"Quack!" Shadow let out a strange and excited laugh as he seemed pleased, and then he answered Wren's question, "Just wanted to ask you to help me salvage something." If you refuse or can't be salvaged, I'll kill you. β
Listening to the other party's last sentence in an emotionless tone, Wren did not show the anger in his heart, he continued to ask in a calm tone: "Has anyone helped you salvage before? How do I know that you won't kill us after the salvage is successful?"
"Don't worry! After success, you will be of no use to me, I am not a murderer. Black didn't answer Wren's first question first, he seemed more concerned about getting Wren and them to accept and complete the task, but he didn't avoid Wren's first question either: "Someone helped me before, they didn't succeed in getting back what I wanted, so I had to kill them." β
After listening to the black shadow's answer, Wren already had a rough grasp of this matter.
Wren admits that he is very little sure about what he wants to successfully salvage the Black Shadow, and he is not yet arrogant that this ship does not know what age it is, and has not encountered a ship more powerful than them.
If none of those ships succeeded, then you can imagine that the task will be difficult.
Wren didn't want to take on this task, but this matter was related to the safety of the entire ship, and he couldn't make this kind of life-and-death decision on behalf of everyone alone, so he needed to ask everyone's opinion.
"Can I go back to the boat and talk to the others?" Wren said to the Shadow.
"No!" the shadow decisively refused, and at the same time he also gave an explanation: "I don't know much about you, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I just need you to answer me here." If you refuse, I will immediately bury you all to the bottom of the sea, including your ship. β
"And if you say yes and the people on the ship don't, I'll help you clean up the people who don't. I have a lot of experience in this. β
Wren was not surprised to be rejected by the Black Shadow, in fact, he had the idea of resisting to the end together if everyone didn't agree.
But from the tone of the Shadow, this kind of thing usually doesn't work out, and he's good enough for me to wipe them out.
Wren glanced at the sailors and mercenaries beside him, their eyes were all determined, and they were going to follow Wren's choice.
"I ...... Promise. Until his choice was spoken, Wren was still hesitating, this kind of choice that would decide the life and death of a boatload of people was really not easy to choose, but the other party would definitely not give him more time to think about it.
If you refuse to start a war immediately, it is better to see the real situation of the salvage before considering whether to start a war.
"Great! Your choice is wise. The shadow seemed pleased, but he regained his composure in the next sentence: "I am glad that you promised to help me, though. But I'm still going to test you to make sure you really have the strength to complete the salvage mission. β
As soon as he heard that there was still a test, Wren frowned, the other party's meaning was obvious, if he couldn't pass the test, he would die directly, and there was no need to waste any more time.
"What kind of test is it?" Although he knew that the other party might not say, Wren finally asked the question.
"Quack!" the dark shadow chuckled a few times, and his voice faded away, "It's already started." Don't die easily...... Quack!"
When the sound died down completely, the hallway of the real cabin suddenly lit up.
The sudden light made Mo He close his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, he appeared in a Colosseum.
There were no spectators in the Colosseum, just him and three companions, who seemed equally confused, and they looked left and right for a while, and finally looked at Wren collectively.
"Get ready to fight!" Wren gave a simple order and appeared in the Colosseum, he didn't think of a second possibility other than fighting.
Inside the closed iron gate of the Colosseum, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps, and the sound of heavy iron tools being dragged as the footsteps moved, and a huge giant beast was about to appear.
Wow~ββ
Dragon?!
Wren's eyes widened, he had experienced the Lich Dungeon, and he remembered that the frost dragon summoned by Angna made a similar sound.
If this is a dragon, then the four of them can't beat Ben.
Not to mention that several of their martial arts skills are not strong enough to fight against dragons, even the weapons in their hands are not prepared for dragon slaying at all.
The beast's voice grew closer, its head appearing first in the light behind the iron door.
It's really a dragon head, and it's really a dragon that is about to appear.
Not only Wren, but the three companions beside him all stared wide-eyed, opened their mouths, and looked at the giant beast inside the iron gate motionlessly.
It was a green poisonous dragon with green skin, yellow eyes, and a pair of white sharp horns.
Although he had never fought a real dragon, Wren had seen how the Frost Dragon had carried them on a rampage through the boulders, and how Angna had easily smashed a massive stone platform to pieces.
This green poisonous dragon may not have Angana's strength, but since it is a dragon, it is definitely not comparable to ordinary demonic beasts.
Squeak, squeak, squeak~
The iron door began to open slowly, and the green dragon, which had long been fed up with the iron chain, rushed into the Colosseum in three steps and two steps, and the huge iron ball dragged on its feet directly cut a furrow in the Colosseum.
Whew~ββWhew
The green dragon roared at the four people in the field, and the terrifying air flow blew Wren left and right, just a roar was so powerful, you can imagine how strong this guy's combat power is.
