Chapter Seventy-Six: Seeing the Light of Day Again
The pirates didn't see anything clearly, but when Rian's left hand brushed against the wall, a gap suddenly appeared, and then the gap widened, forming a passage that could accommodate two people side by side.
Without waiting for the pirates to react, he walked into the passage.
Although he had some doubts, he was the leader of the pirates, and Eric was at the forefront.
However, the moment he walked into the passage, he couldn't help but feel a wave of horror in his heart.
He finally understood what Rien meant when he said, "Every step is on my footprints."
Because, where Li En has stepped on, he has left more than shallow footprints.
He was like a demon in a legend, and the place where the sheep's hoof walked would turn to lava. In the dim passage, there were footprints flickering with cyan fluorescence, faintly revealing an ominous aura.
"There are traps everywhere here, and if they break away from my footprints and trigger them, there's no guarantee that anyone but me will survive. β
A faint sentence immediately dispelled the superfluous thoughts of all the pirates, and they had to follow Eric closely and walk slowly with their footprints.
"Jones, how did you get these footprints?" asked Rien inwardly.
"It's not really a big thing, it's just a substance in the body of a firefly. β
Jones replied calmly, "Don't worry, these footprints don't use as much magic as making two bottles of Nine Holy Water." β
Li En couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so skilled at doing this kind of thing?"
"Do you think I'm a big fan of pretending?" Jones said angrily.
"It's just that many stupid mortals are more superstitious about mysterious things, and the longer I live, I will naturally learn a lot. β
......
"Whew... Whew......"
Clutching a bag of gold and silver treasures, and walking cautiously with footprints, even a big-shouldered pirate with a round waist could be a little out of breath.
If you are not careful, the sack will shake violently. The gold coins and the like were very heavy, and they actually squeezed through the sack directly, leaking out a lot.
"Ahh
The pirate didn't know what to say. Maybe it was an apology, maybe it was an angry scolding, but there was no chance to speak again.
I saw a gold coin bouncing and smashing into an inconspicuous stone, and thenβ
Snort!
Steel spears shot out of the wall, pinning him and the other hapless ghost in front of him to the wall.
It's also the tenacious vitality of the two, and even then they are not dead, and they are convulsing while squeezing out a ho-ho cry for help from the perforated lungs.
However, everyone knows that they are hopeless.
......
After another quarter of an hour, a glimmer of light finally appeared ahead. Li En was also a little surprised, after that guy Mo Fenis walked out of the secret passage, he didn't even care about closing the door?
Anyway, it was impossible for Ness to escape the tracking of the pocket watch, so he didn't think much about it.
When the group finally walked out of the secret passage and saw the light of day again, even the pirates who had always been fierce and cruel could not help but cry bitterly, knelt down and kissed the earth.
Eric is the future hero after all, and he quickly adjusted his mood.
"Since we didn't die in that hellish place, it proves that the gods have blessed us with wealth, so now we will pile up all the gold we brought out here, and let's discuss how to distribute it!
After all, everyone has taken such a big risk, and I will also deduct some of my share from my share for you to drink!"
With that, he poured down most of the bag of gold and silver that he was carrying on the ground.
With the captain taking the lead, the pirates naturally did the same. Moreover, it is the old rule to distribute the income uniformly after the looting, and no one is suspicious.
One by one, they stepped forward and placed their treasures beside Eric, but when the first mate was finished, he was stopped by Eric.
"Wait, there's something missing. β
Eric reached out and pointed to his boots, "What did you hide in them?"
"Worthy of the captain......"
The first mate's expression suddenly became embarrassed, and he squeezed out a flattering smile, bent down and put his hand into his boot, but before he could raise his head, he saw the ground
on the shadows.
Eric's shadow stood straight, and at some point he took a tomahawk from the man next to him and whipped it above his head.
"Don't dig it. β
Eric said lightly: "You can keep it for yourself." β
The screams were gone.
The tomahawk slashed to the ground, blood gushing out, and a skull rolled down the treasure, turning the gold red with blood.
The corpse fell to the ground, clutching a pendant encrusted with a huge gemstone in his hand.
"Bury him. β
Eric threw away the tomahawk with a blank face: "The jewels and poisons are all left for him to be funeral goods." β
Silently, his subordinates stooped up, dragged the body aside, skilfully dug a large pit, and threw him into it.
Beside him, Riene, who had expected it, whistled.
I'm afraid that when he broke the poison hidden by this big mate, Eric already had murderous intent in his heart.
It's not easy to endure until now.
Worthy of the future pirate baron.
"Thanks to the advice of the gentleman, I did not die at the hands of this sinister villain. β
Eric stepped forward and gave Lane a nondescript aristocratic courtesy.
"It's okay, it's okay to give it as a giveaway. Li En waved his hand and said, "But with all due respect, although the money brought out is quite a lot, it is still insufficient to buy a newly-built ship, I'm afraid I can only buy a second-hand broken ship." β
Looking around, the pirates looked eager before he said unhurriedly, "Captain Eric, our trade has just begun."
I will do what I say and I will definitely fulfill your wishes. First of all, you can certainly own a brand new and intimidating Seabreeze Rider......"
If I wasn't mistaken, the flame of desire that burned in Eric's eyes could no longer be extinguished.
......
"Uh-huh!"
I tripped over something under my feet, and although I tried to regain my balance, my legs and feet were completely unresponsive.
Ness fell directly to the ground, I don't know if it was lucky or unlucky, he no longer had the strength to run, just barely moving his steps, otherwise, he would have rolled down this downhill road and fell all over his body.
Although he didn't have many injuries on his body at this time, it didn't mean that he was in good shape.
His hair was almost completely white, and there was a remarkable unhealthy dryness. And his face was also full of wrinkles, the muscles of his body that had been fully exercised were also relaxed, and there were many spots on his skin that only old people should have.
Just breathing, the sound of pulling bellows came from his lungs.
If someone who didn't know him before saw him, they would definitely think that he was at least fifty or sixty years old.
"That's what it is...... Lessons?"
Ness's eyes began to darken, and he struggled to raise his head and look behind him, where a vague figure was approaching.
"Yo, long time no see, Nice. β
The figure crouched down to look at him, and seemed to smile: "You seem to be many years old." How?"
Ness was stunned.
Li ...... Huh?"
"Well, it's me. β
Lane nodded, as if there was no anger at all, and his tone was light, as if nothing had happened, but he reached out and took the little hourglass from his bosom:
"How's it going?, have you experienced the power of the sands of time?" (To be continued.) )
