"How is there a ship there?" Xia Qi asked curiously, he jumped off the golden submarine, and wanted to walk along the beach in the direction of the boat.

Pegin and White Bear Bebo also subconsciously followed him.

"Wait." The man in the spotted yarmulme hat and armed with a long knife stopped, "Something is wrong, don't come close." ”

Xia Qi stopped and looked back at him: "What's wrong?" Luo, you're a little too careful, aren't you? It's just a ship. ”

"It's not that I'm too careful, it's that you're too careless." Trafalgar Rowe, who had dark circles under his eyes, said solemnly, "Have you forgotten what happened last time?" ”

Xia Qi, Pekin, and Bebo all tilted their heads in confusion.

Luo let out a long sigh: "Just last time, in a forest, you saw an apple on the ground, so you rushed to grab it, and as a result, the ground trap was triggered, and it was caught by a net on the tree. ”

Ah, that's it.

Xia Qi and Pei Jin both laughed awkwardly when they remembered the past.

"I was so hungry that day, and I didn't have anything else to eat."

"yes, we can't be blamed entirely, we thought the apple fell from a tree."

Only the white bear Beibo bowed directly to Luo and said, "I'm sorry!" ”

"All in all, it's very unusual for a ship to appear in a tower at the bottom of the sea, and it's not a submarine like us." Luo waved his hand and explained, "I don't know what's going on, so don't approach and minimize the danger." ”

"Yes, we get it!" Xia Qi and Pei Jin agreed, but they still looked like they were smiling, obviously not taking it to heart.

The white bear Beibo bowed again and apologized.

Luo shook his head: "Okay, let's go to the top of the cliff first, maybe we will find something." ”

-----------------

The path of the whale's spine finally comes to an end.

Alrita glanced down at her watch, and the group had been walking for almost an hour, and their ankles were sore before they got here.

At its end is a majestic stone chamber palace with painted frescoes on the left and right sides, and in the center there are many swarthy caverns staring at them like the eyes of giant beasts.

"Four holes." Chloe glanced at it, then silently counted it, and he pushed the round-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose with his palm, "Captain, this should be a labyrinth, otherwise there is no need for so many entrances and exits." ”

"I see what you mean." David Jones' gray-blue eyes looked at the murals and he pointed out, "Let's start investigating here and figure out the ins and outs of this place." ”

"Yes."

David Jones and his crew arrived at the first painted mural, where he took the time to smoke his pipe for the crew to interpret, while he smoked at his leisure.

He now delved into this point only with intuition, and whether there was any profit to be made depends on the content of these murals.

If it was disappointing and nothing, he would order the crew to go back the way they came.

The first mural depicts the current tower, but it seems to be only halfway built, with the upper part still reaching into the sky and the lower half sticking deep into the land.

Around the tower, there are drawings of people of different races.

The most conspicuous are the giants, then the fish-people and merfolk, and then the humans.

There are also races with very long arms, or very long legs, or three eyes, and some people who are so small that they can barely see them.

Underneath each mural were carved lines of obscure text, and the crew could not recognize the country or era in which it was, and naturally could not decipher its contents.

Bucky also briefly compared them with the "historical text" text he had seen in his memory, and found that they were not the same.

The text of the "historical text" looks square, but the text here is beautiful in its crooked and slanted manner.

However, although the text was incomprehensible, the content of the mural was quite popular, and they quickly understood the meaning, and it was up to Yarrita to read out their common conclusion.

"The great races of the world have come together to build this tower on a continent."

The tower in the second mural has already been built, with the top floor pointed upwards.

The interior of the minaret is divided into four levels, with a heart painted on the top floor and a gemstone painted on the lower three floors.

People of all the world's races are wielding whips to drive a group of strange monsters into the tower.

"They kept their treasures in the spires, and drove a horde of monsters to guard each floor for them."

The third mural shows a torrent of humans pouring into the minaret as a monstrous wave rises from both sides.

In the fourth mural, the minaret has sunk to the bottom of the sea.

"I don't know what happened to the minaret, the minaret and the land plate below were completely swallowed by the sea, but some humans escaped because they entered the minaret."

In the fifth fresco, four different figures appear as they climb up the steps of the minaret.

And the strange thing is that at the bottom of the tower below them, countless bones are piled up, and the masks on these bones and the weapons in their hands are no different from the four people on top.

Yarrita and the others hesitated for a moment, but still said their guess:

"The minaret sank to the bottom of the sea, the sea swallowed the bottom floor, and the people who escaped death could only climb to the top of the minaret full of monsters in order to survive, and sacrificed in exchange for killing and cleaning up the monsters, and gradually formed four major schools."

The sixth fresco depicts the intricate passages inside the minaret, some connected and some isolated from each other.

The four of them, each with different shapes, reached out and reached for the three keys that were floating in the air.

The three keys, one red, one green and one blue.

"Their purpose is to find the three keys in the labyrinth of paths inside the spire."

On the seventh mural, three keys have been installed on a circular stone plate, and a stone door as high as half a mountain has opened not far away.

On the eighth mural, on the left are the four people, looking solemn, and on the right are a huge gray heart.

In the last two murals, a small gray heart is held in the palm of a hand, and then all four of them leap from the top of the spire to see the endless sea.

"They gathered three keys and opened the gate, this time the enemy is a heart."

"After defeating the heart, they gained a small heart, and then they were able to escape from the top of the minaret and return to the surface of the sea to regain their freedom."

The crew all looked at David Jones, wondering what the captain thought of their interpretation.

David Jones, on the other hand, nodded and put his pipe away.

He gazed at the minaret structure of the second fresco, and then at the large and small hearts that appear in the eighth and ninth frescoes, and deduced:

"The door they opened with three keys should be on the top floor, and that heart is their obstacle and their rarest treasure."

Chloe also noticed that in the second mural, there was a heart at the top of the minaret, so he agreed with the captain.

Heart......

Davy Jones's expression became complicated.

He is the only one in this world who knows that his greatest weakness is the heart, because that is the only part that cannot be regenerated.

Although no one yet knows the true nature of his powers, nor the secrets of his heart, but as he goes further and further on the great voyage, there will be more and more talented people, and sooner or later they will be able to discover something.

It is necessary to plan ahead...... I just don't know if the heart at the top of the spire is good for me?

David Jones didn't hesitate for long, the corners of his mouth curled up above the wriggling tentacles, and he smiled, "Let's search for these three keys and take a look at the top of the spire." ”

"Captain." Chloe objected at this point, "Could it be that the humans here have gathered all three keys and left from the top of the spire?" Maybe there's nothing left at the top. ”

"Think of it as a short break from the trip." David Jones said.

"They must have been unsuccessful for a long time before they were told what to do in the form of murals and texts, and maybe they are still struggling in the minaret."

"In this way, it's quite normal that you don't know these words, because you are not from the same era at all."

The captain's words sent chills down the hearts of the crew.

They couldn't imagine the cruelty of a group of human beings, living in this isolated spire for generations.
