"There are a total of four cave entrances here." Crowe looked at everyone, "Captain, there are six of us, should we split up? This way we can search each passage faster."
Davy Jones waved his hand: "There is no need. If you spread out, you will easily encounter danger, and rescue will be quite time-consuming. Concentrating personnel will make it easier to deal with various emergencies."
Bucky was originally worried about the risks of acting alone. Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart: The captain still cares about our lives.
Davy Jones continued: "Besides, if the humans in the spire have not collected the keys for such a long time, this proves that the key to obtaining the keys lies not in the hands of the searchers, but in others."
"Then which cave entrance should we go to?" Crowe continued to ask without objection.
Davy Jones glanced at him and noticed that he was more active than before, but he didn't find it strange. Most of the crew members who had boarded the Flying Dutchman had also experienced this process.
His gray-blue eyes scanned between the four caves, and he pointed to one intuitively.
"Just choose the one on the far left."
Everyone looked at each other and saw that the captain had chosen randomly, but they could not give any better suggestions, so they could only reply: "Okay."
A group of them entered the cave on the far left. Arrita and Crow were at the front, followed by Davy Jones, Michita, and finally Bucky and Hachi.
The cave is a wide and winding tunnel, which is also illuminated by luminous gravel.
Davy Jones and his gang moved forward in silence.
Michita was walking beside Davy Jones, feeling a lot of psychological pressure.
She put away her umbrella for fear of poking the captain. The girl who usually loved to laugh did not dare to smile for fear of being misunderstood by the captain, so she even paid special attention when swallowing.
She looked expectantly at Arrita walking in front and thought:
Just now I should have volunteered to be the first, so I could at least have a few words with Arrita...
Would it seem too deliberate to suddenly run to the front now?
No, if I do this, the captain will 100% think that I hate him. In fact, I am just simply afraid...
I'd better stay honest and be a little transparent, no one can see me, no one can see me...
While Mikita was reciting silently in her mind, she heard Arrita's voice from ahead: "Captain, we are about to walk out of the tunnel ahead."
"Keep moving forward." Davy Jones's cold voice echoed in Mikita's ears.
Although she knew that the captain's tone was not directed at her, she still couldn't help but shudder.
Xiaoba walked up a few steps behind and asked with concern: "Mikita, do you feel too cold?"
Davy Jones heard this and turned to look at Michita.
"Ah haha..." Mikita quickly laughed nervously and waved her hands, "No, I just didn't sleep well last night and was a little sleepy."
"That's it." Xiaoba scratched the back of his head, "Then make sure you get some rest at night."
"Yes, yes..." Michita nodded awkwardly.
When she saw that Davy Jones was no longer looking at her, she breathed a sigh of relief, turned around again, and glared at Xiaoba.
Xiaoba was a little confused and didn't understand why Michita was angry. Just as he opened his mouth to ask, Michita turned around.
Bucky watched the whole thing, covering his mouth and snickering. Two white gloves couldn't cover his raised red lips, which looked quite vulgar.
Davy Jones and his gang walked out of the tunnel one after another, and then came to a wide cave.
Here, they saw several stacked stone houses, but most of the walls had collapsed and no one could be seen.
Arrita and Crowe, who were the first to approach, were already searching the stone house.
After a while, they returned to Davy Jones one after another to report the situation.
Crowe pointed to the back of the stone house: "There are several graves and tombstones there. This should have been one of the garrison locations of the Spire people before, but it was later abandoned."
"There was no living person in the house, but I saw a human skull on the shabby bed. The parts below the skull were completely mutilated," Arrita said.
At this time, she changed the topic again: "But I found a mask and a box."
Arrita first handed the mask to Davy Jones.
He took a look at the eagle-like red mask, knocked it, and found it was made of iron. Then he recognized that it was worn by one of the four people in the mural.
Those four people should represent the four schools, and masks or weapons are the simplest and most direct symbols to distinguish their schools. It does not mean that it is the four people who are taking risks in the steeple from beginning to end.
Then, Arrita placed a long iron box on the ground and opened it, revealing a strange-shaped long sword inside.
This sword is gray and looks quite simple. The blade is straight and the end is curved like a sickle.
"Huh?" Xiaoba was so happy to see the hunting spirit that he reached out with six arms, hurriedly picked it up and looked at it carefully, then waved it twice and broke a stone on the ground into pieces.
"This is a good knife. I feel it's better than Huazhou. It might be included in the 'Twenty-One Great Knives' in the external selection."
Davy Jones was quite surprised that people here called cold weapons such as swords "knives", but he didn't care much and said, "Then just keep it."
Xiaoba looked up in surprise: "Captain, can you really give it to me?"
"Take it." Arrita put her hands on her hips and said with a smile, "You are the only one here who knows how to use a knife. If you don't, who will use it?"
"That's great." Xiaoba was very happy and couldn't put it down with his new "knife". "I don't know your original name, but from now on, you will be called 'Bent Scythe'."
"The Curved Sickle" has no scabbard, so Xiaoba carries it behind his back together with "Huazhou".
Bucky promised to make a scabbard for him in the future. When it will be realized depends on his mood.
However, Xiao Ba had just tied up the "curved sickle" and had to pull it out again. He also took out the "Huazhou" and four other swords, leaving only the eliminated sword still on his back. superior.
Because they saw a group of strange creatures emerging from the darkness and staring at them eagerly.
Davy Jones took his time and had foreseen it.
His crew members drew their weapons nervously one by one.
These monsters are bugs, and they appear in groups of about a dozen, each as big as a small crocodile.
There are no eyes visible on the light blue body, and it seems to have degenerated. Only two thick legs support its body, and its tail is thin and long swinging.
This is one of the monsters in the spire - "The Jawworm".
The reason why they are called jawworms is because their upper and lower jaws are quite large when opened, and their bite force is amazing. This is the most terrifying weapon of this group of insects.
The jawworms had no eyes, but they seemed to have smelled the scent of Davy Jones and his gang, and they all bared their teeth and grinned, then crawled quickly on the ground with their feet, running towards Davy Jones and his gang quickly.
In the blink of an eye, they were already in front of them.
Instead of Davy Jones giving orders, the crew acted together.
Especially Xiaoba, who had just received the "Curved Sickle". He held the "Curved Sickle" in one hand, the "Huazhou" in the other, and four long knives, and rushed over first.
But he used an ordinary long knife to chop the shell of a giant jawworm, and a hole was broken out.
Xiaoba looked at his long knife with a crack in shock: "So hard?"
The giant jawworm roared at him and rushed over, opening its huge mouth to bite Xiaoba.
Xiaoba quickly waved "Huazhou" against its upper and lower jaws, and chopped it off with a "curved sickle" knife, directly smashing its shell, exposing its flesh and blood. After adding another knife, it whined and turned over. He fell to the ground, dead.
He looked at the "curved sickle" in surprise. He didn't expect that it would work wonders when used to fight such hard-shelled monsters.
Others also noticed the hardness of the shells of these large jawworms.
But Arrita is not afraid of being bitten. Bucky, Crowe, and Michita all have their own ways to avoid being bitten, so there are no accidents.
Among them, a giant jawworm rushed towards Davy Jones and was trampled under his feet, unable to move as if it was nailed to the ground.
Without even looking at his feet, he used his weapon color, crushed its shell slightly, and then trampled it to death.
After a scuffle, the group of uninvited guests were cleared away by Davy Jones and his gang, leaving no one behind.
They also saw two cave entrances from the dark corner where the mandibles rushed out, one on the left and one on the right. The tunnels inside didn't look much different.
When it came time to choose again, the crew looked at the captain.
