Towards evening, the sea turned golden, like melted gold water.
A round island floats in the golden water. The beach near the sea is full of white shells, and there are huge black rocks under the cliff. The waves hit the rocks, making a "crash" sound, and the next moment they broke into thousands of silver flowers, which were all brilliant.
"Wow, wow, wow..."
The sea breeze kept blowing, and the waves hit the rocks one after another. On the distant sea, a black ghost ship appeared and drove slowly over. Driving nearby, we skillfully bypassed the cliff and arrived at a simple port on the beach side.
"Squeak—"
The ghost ship made a noise and stopped in the port. Then the cabin opened, and the four suture monsters waved their maces and quickly drove the captives on the "Nalu Rongguang Fisherman" off the ship, rushed to the beach, and then headed towards Rush deep into the island.
Passing through dense woods along the way, everyone came to an open space.
Walk through the clearing and enter a huge cave.
In the middle of the cave, there is a huge stone basin filled with dark brown grease. When it is ignited, a flame more than one meter high will appear, dispersing the darkness in the cave.
By the light of the fire, you can see that on the four walls of the cave, there are densely packed stone huts, each of which is only a few square meters in size. At first glance, it seems that it is not a place for normal living. Compared with a house, it is more. Like a prison cell.
The Stitch Monster pushed everyone into these cells.
The timid person naturally did not dare to resist and walked in obediently. The next moment there was a "bang" and the door was locked by the Stitch Monster from the outside - imprisoned.
Some who are more courageous are a little resistant. Seeing that the cell was extremely damp and the floor was covered with dark red stains that looked like blood, I had already started thinking about escaping. One of them, his eyes rolling, stood on the same spot with his feet, not moving at all.
"Roar!" When the Stitch Monster saw someone not cooperating, he immediately became angry, raised his head and roared.
The next moment, a new suture monster appeared and ran out from the depths of the cave. Compared with the four Stitch Monsters that came off the ghost ship, the new Stitch Monster is taller, about two and a half meters tall, and its skin is not a disgusting dead gray, but a healthy-looking... oily green, um, Oily green. What he held in his hand was a heavy hammer.
After the green-skinned stitch monster walked out, he glanced at the uncooperative people and let out a low growl.
The uncooperative person trembled, had a bad premonition, gave in decisively, shouted "I'm going in, can't I go in?", and then got into the cell. The next moment, he was stopped by the green-skinned stitch monster, who then grabbed his clothes and lifted him into the air.
"Ah, no, let me go, help!" The uncooperative person shouted and kicked his feet wildly.
The green-skinned stitch monster ignored him at all, lifted the person high, and then threw him to the ground.
"puff!"
In just one move, those who did not cooperate were thrown to the point where they vomited blood.
But it's not over yet.
The next moment, the green-skinned stitch monster held the hammer, aimed at the uncooperative person's head, and smashed it down with all his strength.
"Bang! Poof!"
The head of the uncooperative person suddenly exploded like a watermelon run over by a truck, and the uncooperative person died instantly.
The green-skinned Stitch Monster didn't stop and didn't let go of the corpse. It seemed like it was crazy and continued to beat the corpse with its hammer until the flesh and blood flew everywhere, almost turning it into a pulp.
"Roar!"
The four gray seam monsters couldn't stand it anymore and shouted.
Only then did the green-skinned stitching monster stop, grunted twice, turned around with the hammer stained with blood and meat paste, and slowly walked toward the depths of the cave, disappearing into the darkness.
The four suture monsters began to push everyone on the "Nalu Rongguang Fisherman" into the cell.
After seeing the fate of those who did not cooperate, everyone on the "Nalu Rongguang Fisherman" was extremely obedient. Either alone, in two, or in three, they were all stuffed into cells and imprisoned in a short time.
The gray suture monster carefully checked the door of each cell, made sure it was locked, and left the cave.
"Huhuhu—"
The flames in the cave brazier were burning, and the firelight shone on the faces of everyone in the cell. Everyone looked uncertain.
In a cell in the corner, three people were staying inside, namely captain Morgan, first mate Williams, and... the helmsman Tomuya who was driving the ship when it hit the rocks.
Captain Morgan was frowning at this time, as if he was thinking about something - he was slapped away by the Stitch Monster before, and his bones were broken. His movement was somewhat inconvenient, but his life was not in danger.
As for First Mate Williams, he was in better condition than Captain Morgan. He had also been slapped away by the Stitch Monster before and fainted. But after waking up in the cabin of the ghost ship, thanks to his strong body, he only had some skin injuries, but... his head hurt from time to time.
As for the helmsman Tomuya, he was in the best condition among the three. The reason why he chose to squeeze into a cell with Captain Morgan and first mate Williams was that he wanted to make up for the guilt of running aground by taking care of the two of them.
After all, if he had not hit the rocks in the first place, no one on the "Nalu Rongguang Fisherman" would have ended up like this.
Thinking about this, he felt extremely resentful why he didn't notice the underwater reef. And when I think about the gloomy future, my whole body becomes even more tense.
Trembling slightly, looking at Captain Morgan, helmsman Tomuya asked in a low voice: "Captain, you said... will we die?"
"Ahem..." Captain Morgan coughed twice, then shook his head, "I don't know either. To be honest, I don't even know where we are now, let alone what the monsters will do to us."
"Island of the Dead." First Officer Williams on the side suddenly spoke out at this moment.
"Huh? What?" Captain Morgan and helmsman Tomuya didn't hear clearly.
"Island of the Dead," said First Mate Williams, repeating with a serious face, "This should be the Island of the Dead—at least that's what everyone says. I've heard people mention ghost ships in taverns in several ports. matter.
It is said that ghost ships have been wandering on the sea and will attack passing ships from time to time. Once the attack is successful, the people on the ship will be taken to the Island of the Dead. And no one who arrived on the Island of the Dead could leave alive. Because there lived an evil wizard called the Necromancer on the Island of the Dead, who liked to study some ancient alchemy very much, and the people he captured were the materials for his alchemy. "
"Ghost ship? Island of the Dead? Necromancer?" Captain Morgan muttered to himself after hearing this, chanted these three words again, coughed, and smiled bitterly, "I never believed in this before. According to rumors, in fact, before I saw the ugly monster, I always thought that those chasing us were probably pirates. Now I didn’t expect that we would actually end up like this. Is this unfortunate or lucky?”
"Forehead-"
There was silence in the cell.
Suddenly at this moment, "bang bang bang" footsteps sounded, and the suture monster that had left before came back again. He walked around the cells, and without explaining anything for a moment, he quickly opened the door of a cell and forcibly dragged out a woman inside - a female passenger on the "Nalu Rongguang Fisherman". No matter how miserable the woman screamed, the Stitch Monster pulled her away from the cave and disappeared quickly.
this!
All the people in each cell looked at each other while lying on the door, and saw their own fear and anxiety, lest it would be their turn next. Captain Morgan in the corner cell coughed slightly and smiled bitterly again: "This will make our death unhappy!"
After finishing his words, he let out a long sigh and lowered his head with a somewhat dejected expression.
