Chapter 1 A Giant Trap

Despite the fact that the castle's treasury was a place so solid that even devils would despair, Scarface Henry drank a bottle of legendary magic potion and opened the door to the treasury in the simplest and most brutal way—which was the fundamental reason why Fang Senyan had felt the entire castle tremble twice earlier.

At this time, it was not far from the castle gate, and even the flickering firelight from outside could be seen. The pirates also showed signs of excitement. But Fang Senyan suddenly felt an indescribable danger, a feeling like being soaked in the waters of the Arctic Ocean. At this moment, Fang Senyan once again noticed the castle walls beside him out of the corner of his eye. There were still a large number of patterns engraved here, and the number of new patterns composed of one letter after another was even greater. Fang Senyan even touched the patterns again with his hand, and felt not the coolness he expected, but a kind of warmth—

Very close to human body temperature.

"Could it be that the purpose of the guards' bleeding is..."

A strong sense of danger surged in Fang Senyan's heart. His eyes flickered, and he looked back at Scarface Henry, who was guarding the rear of the team. The sweat on this strong man's bald head shone brightly in the torchlight—it had been a full half hour without any intense exercise, so why was there so much sweat on his forehead? A sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of Fang Senyan's mouth. He stopped and said loudly:

"Listen to me! If you still want to enjoy rum, sunshine, beaches, and women, you can't go any further." A group of pirates looked at him with idiot eyes.

Sigma, the pirate following Scarface Henry, said in a mocking tone:

"Do you mean that we should turn around and respectfully put Lord Fogg's treasure back?" Fang Senyan said anxiously:

"There is great danger ahead, believe me, I can feel it. The safest way for us to leave this castle should not be through the stairs, but from the air. Although the second floor of the castle is very high, I think the worst consequence of jumping down from there is just some damage to the calves and ankles."

Sigma had become Scarface Henry's spokesman at this time. He immediately targeted Fang Senyan and said:

"Then we'll just leave Mr. Fogg's collection here?"

Fang Senyan said very seriously:

"Everyone can try to stuff some into their pockets, and then throw the boxes out the window."

"Your suggestion will shrink our loot by at least fifty percent." Sigma sneered, taking out a piece of porcelain from a treasure chest next to him: "Look at this exquisite Chinese porcelain! It's as smooth as a baby's skin, and touching it feels like touching the breasts of a sixteen-year-old virgin... It's worth 50,000 pounds to any nobleman in Great Britain, but even falling from half a foot high will turn it into worthless shards!" At this moment, Scarface Henry coughed slightly. It wasn't because his throat itched, but simply to draw all the attention to himself.

"We move forward... Whether it's God or the devil blocking our way, they will be trampled under our feet!" "Very well, as expected, he rejected me to establish his prestige."

Fang Senyan sighed slightly in his heart, but on the surface, he stood in place. He raised his hands helplessly, as if he wanted to say something, but the impatient pirates rushed past him, even the servant Charlie rushed out happily. Fortunately, after running for more than ten meters, he finally remembered Fang Senyan, his master, and came back to look for him. At this time, Fang Senyan seemed particularly weak, and of course, lonely, like a reef standing alone in the tide. But people often forget that the tide will soon recede, while the reef will stand for thousands of years!

Looking at the light coming from the castle gate, the pirates' eyes were filled with hope and frenzy. Having stayed in this damned dark and terrifying castle for too long, they couldn't wait to bathe in the familiar and friendly sea breeze. Even though they were exhausted, they quickened their pace. No one glanced at Fang Senyan standing on the steps behind. No one thought that they had fallen into a huge trap.

Fang Senyan shook his head slightly and took a few steps back. His perception had already begun to warn him. In fact, Fang Senyan had possessed strong analytical skills and meticulous thinking since he was a child, otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to climb to the position of second mate when he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, while others were still ordinary seamen.

But this powerful ability to plan was not omnipotent. Its biggest weakness was that it required sufficient time for thinking and deduction, as well as sufficient relevant information! In the real world, the incident with Fourth Uncle could be said to be a sudden event that happened right under his nose. How much time did Fang Senyan have to buffer?

According to Fang Senyan's ability at that time, was it possible to set up a situation to kill Huashan Fei? Yes! But at least he would need a year to start preparing for various matters! To put it bluntly, in that situation, a skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice was the only reasonable explanation.

After entering the Terminator world, Fang Senyan, who had just entered the space, had to face various impacts, including the unfamiliar feeling of entering the space for the first time, the familiarity and mastery of various rules in the air, and the familiarity with his own power. He was a human, not a god. If he could still make arrangements in such an environment, the only end would be to arrange himself in it as well!

Only when he arrived in this world did Fang Senyan's innate outstanding abilities begin to show: first, he had sufficient time; second, he came to the Caribbean world, which he was relatively familiar with; and third, he had mastered sufficient information in all aspects, including but not limited to the rules of space, the background of the world, and the information obtained by the Insight skill.

等, it could be said that all kinds of factors were in place before he could begin to show his abilities. However, looking back now, there were still some loopholes in his plan. Fortunately, it seemed that the goddess of luck favored him this time, so that the situation was not destroyed, but was able to continue better.

Just as all the pirates were approaching the gate, a subtle but peculiar sound suddenly appeared in the air. The sound was like a gurgling stream about to run dry, and like the rustling of silkworms eating mulberry leaves. It seemed that something was unfolding in the darkness. Then, Scarface Henry's brow twitched, and he immediately stopped. But the giant stone floor in front of the castle gate suddenly flipped up from the bottom, standing abruptly in front of everyone like a high wall!

Two people were nailed to the stone slab with huge iron nails. The faces of these two people were quite familiar to all the pirates! It was the navigator, Xia Er, who was dispatched in the first batch, and the blind man Matt, who was used to contain Fang Senyan. But at this time, both of them were naked and nailed alive to the huge black stone slab. It was unknown whether they were dead or alive. The exposed skin had an unspeakable paleness, and it seemed that all the blood had been drained.

Immediately, most people were panicked. Some began to shout loudly, some planned to rescue people, and some thought of Fang Senyan's words and retreated. The originally neat formation was scattered into a mess. When all the pirates were in chaos and felt horrified, a soft "bang" sounded again in the air! This sound was so faint that it was like a groan in the downtown area. If one did not listen carefully and distinguish it, one would not be able to detect its existence at all, but once one became aware of it, it was already close at hand!

That was the sound of an arrow passing through the air!

According to Fang Senyan's visual estimation, the initial velocity of the arrows shot from all directions could reach more than 100 meters per second, which was equivalent to a bolt falling from a sixty-story building, or a stone thrown at a car traveling at more than 200 kilometers per hour! The destructive power generated by such a speed was extremely astonishing. Even ordinary armor plates the thickness of a little finger could not stop such a powerful force within a hundred meters. What's more, these exhausted pirates?

Sharp sounds rang out wantonly. These arrows rotated at high speed in the air, dragging a tail of blue phosphorescence at the end. Judging from the length and style, they should belong to the very popular corner iron arrows—these were long arrows made of horn wood and iron-nickel alloy in a ratio of 3:1, and were the standard equipment of English longbowmen. There were inconspicuous small holes on the walls of the castle in all directions. Even if one did not pay attention during the day, it would be difficult to notice them. The arrows were shot from here, and the remaining holes were like deep eye sockets that had been gouged out, venomously watching everything.

The pirates standing in the center of the hall fell one after another like harvested wheat. At this critical moment of life and death, no one dared to hide their strength. Obviously, the strength of the people around Scarface Henry was significantly stronger.

Especially that pirate Sigma, who had questioned Fang Senyan earlier, showed amazing strength at this moment. He drew the sailor's knife from his waist with his backhand at the first moment. The knife was attached with a blue light, and he slashed out three knives in a flash of lightning, cutting three arrows out of the air. Then, he used his empty left hand to take out the matchlock gun from his waist and blasted away two long arrows shot at Scarface Henry—

But his outstanding performance also attracted the attention of those enemies hiding in the dark!

Just when the light blue gunpowder smoke had not yet dissipated, the patterns on the castle wall suddenly lit up. Fang Senyan felt a great danger at this moment, and the hairs on the back of his hand stood up one by one, so he immediately hid behind cover! At the same time, a shrill light burst out again from a hole in the stone wall of the castle!
