Chapter 317: Chaos arose in the Crown of the Abyss
Seeing Drizzt’s movements.
Huo Jixing and Graves did not bother, and instead wandered around.
Huo Jixing continued to go to the stone murals, trying to find some clues about Soul Eating Night.
Graves was wandering around the wreckage, trying to find something valuable to bring back to Bilgewater.
A battle-hardened outlaw, he enjoys scouring the ruins for treasure.
"Huh?"
While pulling away a pile of tangled canvases, Graves suddenly smelled a strong stench.
Following the smell, he saw a stinky corpse half buried in the sand.
It seems that he died not long ago, the body is relatively intact, and his hands are stuck in the sand.
However, judging from the corpse's clothes and a gold earring, the deceased seemed to be a sailor.
But it must have been a long time since I had eaten, and my body was extremely thin, leaving only skin and bones.
Graves saw that the left leg of the corpse was tied with a rusty iron chain, and the other end of the iron chain was nailed to the rock wall next to it.
"The old woman's masterpiece!"
Graves muttered, just about to stay away from the corpse, but he felt that the appearance of the corpse seemed familiar.
"I seem to know him?"
He stopped, turned around, and looked at the body again.
Then he directly pulled open the collar of the corpse and tore off a few buttons with force.
"Sure enough!"
Graves saw a small tattoo, which was a large-caliber pistol.
"Who is he?"
Huo Jixing walked over and looked at the starved corpse, his bulging belly filled with gravel and debris.
"It's true, he is the subordinate of Miss Luck, and his status is quite high." Graves said in a solemn voice.
"I didn't expect to die here. It seems that I am also looking for the Abyss Altar and the Abyss Crown."
Huo Jixing nodded slightly, his eyes falling on the large-caliber pistol tattoo.
"Are you looking for the Crown of the Abyss to cope with the upcoming Soul-eating Night?"
"Found it!"
Behind the scene, Drizzt shouted excitedly, holding the card in his hand Fresco pointing to the Altar of the Abyss.
Huo Jixing looked over and saw a golden crown in the shape of a sea serpent on Drizzt's card.
“I seem to have never seen this card before.” Graves said curiously.
In his memory, he had never seen Drizzt possess this card.
"I haven't seen it either." Drizzt said solemnly.
“It never existed, and now it suddenly appears in the card library.”
“So the crown must be here, nearby.”
Huo Jixing is coming Go to the mural and gaze at the Altar of the Abyss engraved on it.
Suddenly.
He stretched out his hand and slowly pressed it towards the cave painting.
On the way, a red-gold flame covered his left hand.
Poof!
The ancient murals slowly melted under the burning flames, revealing an empty cave behind them.
"It's empty!"
Graves exclaimed.
He looked behind the melted murals and saw a tomb-like space in which a person was buried.
But now there is only a pile of pale bones, showing a sense of desolation among the rocks.
The skull is wearing a mottled crown on its head.
Although the crown has lost its former luster over time, its former glory can still be seen.
The shining part of the crown looks like it is made of gold, and its appearance is strange, like a sea snake that is entangled and spitting out a message.
Huo Jixing stepped in, picked up the crown, and observed it carefully.
"Is this the Crown of the Abyss? It does have rune properties."
"But after experiencing the erosion of time, I don't know if it can command sea beasts."
Through spiritual perception, he thought secretly in his heart.
“Let’s go!”
Huo Jixing left the tomb.
Now that the Crown of the Abyss has been found, there is no need to stay here longer.
Drizzt and Graves didn't say anything, and followed Huo Jixing's footsteps.
The soul-eating night is coming.
They don't want to miss the opportunity to hug each other and face those difficult ghosts alone.
The Hydratavern.
Inside the gorgeous box.
Miss Fortune Sarah leaned on the back of the fur chair, crossed her slender white legs and placed them by the window.
She picked up a gorgeous wine glass and took a sip, her crimson lips becoming more and more beautiful.
"Leaven, how is the matter handled?"
"The slaughterhouse has fallen into chaos, and the Hook Gang is under siege."
In the shadow corner, Lei Wen stepped out and softly reported the situation at the Slaughterhouse and the Hook Gang.
Miss Fortune nodded slightly and looked at the slaughter dock, with flames dancing in her pupils.
On ordinary days, the slaughterhouse is filled with the smell of rotting sea animal carcasses and the strong smell of blood.
But it was different tonight. The wind carried the smell of burnt meat and burning wood.
Miss Fortune knew that this smell meant that more and more people who had belonged to Gangplank were dying.
Ashes covered the sky, the sea animal fat stored on the slaughterhouse burned blazingly, and the foul-smelling smoke surged in all directions.
She felt that the taste in her mouth became greasy, so she spit out the window.
There is a layer of sticky scum floating on the dark sea water, which is the contribution of thousands of corpses underwater over the years.
“Make progress faster.”
Miss Fortune stood up, her long scarlet wavy hair dancing in the wind.
"So what if you come back? Your men are almost dead." "Okay." Raven replied.
Miss Fortune looked back, her tone slightly solemn.
"Is there any news about Edinson? He has been out for a long time."
"No news for the time being, he seems to have completely disappeared." Raven said.
"Will you accidentally break in..."
Miss Fortune paused when she heard this, and said with firm eyes.
"Absolutely not, he has experienced the Night of Soul Erosion, and..."
"The Night of Soul Erosion is coming soon, find more powerful rune items."
"Even if it is It doesn’t matter if it has side effects and is corrosive.”
She learned about what happened at the port at noon and immediately sent her men to sea, but unexpectedly learned that the Soul-eating Night had arrived in advance.
The previous Soul-eating Nights were spent safely under the leadership of Gangplank.
And this Soul Eating Night happened to be when Gangplank was deposed.
Miss Fortune will never allow any unexpected situations to happen.
Since there is no news about the Crown of the Abyss, she will look for more rune items.
"Fedel's body has not fully healed yet, so he said he would come back later."
Thinking of his old friend, Raven spoke up.
"Ask him to come here before the night. If you are alone, you can't protect your wife and children from the ghosts."
Miss Fortune ordered, indicating that Raven could leave.
In the gorgeous box, silence returned again.
Miss Fortune stood in front of the window, looking at the burning slaughterhouse in the distance, with thoughts on her eyebrows.
Suddenly, she felt a strange breath appear.
"Come out!"
Miss Fortune turned around and saw a woman with an extremely tall figure, wearing a complexly woven heavy-colored robe.
She was walking over slowly, and the floor of the box seemed to be unable to bear it, and she whined.
“Illaoi!”
Miss Fortune’s eyes tightened as she recognized the identity of the woman in front of her.
Rumor has it that she and Plank were once a couple.
"Ms. Bearded above, nice to meet you, Sarah!"
Illaoi was holding a heavy stone ball in her hand, which looked similar to the Siren's anchor. Portions are decent.
The priestess who is as tall as an iron tower will carry it with her wherever she goes, and there is an engraved pattern on it.
Miss Fortune secretly guessed that the stone ball was probably the totem of Lady Beard.
But Illaoi's group gave the bearded lady another name.
A very awkward name.
It seems to be called Naga Kapoulos.
Seemingly reading the meaning in Miss Fortune's eyes, Illaoi came to the window and stood side by side with Miss Fortune.
She took out a peeled mango from nowhere, took a bite, and chewed the pulp.
"Just a man from Bilgewater. In my heart, she is not as good as Naga Kapoulos."
Miss Fortune's heart moved and she inquired about Gangplank.
“He has already gone to the abyss to meet Nagakapoulos, hasn’t he?”
“Nagakapoulos is not in the abyss, only the ignorant little pink-faced people are. Think so."
Illaoi looked at the burning slaughterhouse in the distance, not paying attention to Miss Fortune's whispers.
"Naga Kapoulos exists in everything we do and on every path we take."
"Yes, look at how stupid we ordinary people are."
Miss Fortune chuckled, leaning her lithe body against the window sill.
Illaoi tilted her head and spit the mango core into the sea.
She shook the giant cannonball-like stone ball in her hand and held it flat in front of Miss Fortune's face.
"You're not stupid, Sarah!"
Illaoi laughed cheerfully.
“You just don’t know your own nature, nor the meaning of what you do.”
Miss Fortune stretched out her white arms, gathered her scattered scarlet hair, and her eyes were a little Trance.
When she was a child, she witnessed the pirate king Gangplank murder his own family.
Although she now takes her cruel revenge, blowing up Gangplank and his flagship, man and ship alike.
But she seemed to have lost her goal.
"Illaoi, why are you here? For Gangplank?"
"Ha! It doesn't matter at all." Illaoi's eyes flickered and she snorted disdainfully. A sound.
“My life only exists for Nagakapoulos. Can men and gods be compared?”
"Of course not, Gangplank is so unlucky." Miss Fortune leaned back, revealing her fair chest.
“You are right!”
Illaoi grinned, revealing a mouth full of mango pulp.
“But still ignorant.”
“You have unhooked a razor eel from the hook, and it’s time to step on its neck again.”
"Then before its fangs bite you, stay as far away as possible. Otherwise, the movement will abandon you forever."
"What do you mean?" Miss Fortune looked confused, My heart tightened.
In fact, in the secret compartment of her pocket, she was holding a loaded large-caliber pistol.
"Come to me when you understand."
Illaoi spread out his palm, and there was a pendant lying in his palm.
A piece of pink coral, with many lines radiating out around the center, like an unblinking eye.
“Take it!”
