Massimo said this with a snort, and Costa on the side also spoke silently after hearing it.
"A thousand women? Haha... I'm afraid it's not that simple. How can you be sure that the guy is a woman..."
"What? Isn't it obvious? That guy's voice and appearance, if not a woman, then what is he?!"
Hearing Costa's words, Massimo on the side spoke with some surprise, while Costa continued to speak solemnly.
"Don't let your eyes fool you anymore. Haven't you figured it out by now, Massimo? That guy is not just a 'shadow', but also has a certain self-healing ability. The smoke released by the props has two characteristics of 'cup' and 'shadow', which clearly points to the Blood Darkness Path within the Path of 'Shadow'.
"If that guy is a shadow man or even a vampire, then he can look whatever he wants. The extraordinary person on that branch can easily disguise his gender and age. The physical features you see are totally unreliable! Not only the women on the ship, but everyone is unreliable!"
Costa said this sternly. Massimo couldn't help feeling dazed when listening to Costa's words.
"Blood Darkness Path... Yeah, why didn't I think of those blood-sucking spiders! Oh right... When I was checking the Deep Blue Heart last night, I touched something furry on it, and then my hand suddenly felt painful and numb, and I dropped the Deep Blue Heart uncontrollably.
"Now that I think about it, the thing on the Deep Blue Heart seems to be a spider! I must have been bitten by that strange spider. A spider that can bite me so painfully is not an ordinary one. It must be a special species bred by those blood-sucking spider guys! Maybe it has some poison!
"I was wondering why that guy had anti-divination skills. Turns out he's one of the vampire spider guys..."
Massimo touched his right hand and said with an expression as if he realized that he had accidentally dropped the Deep Blue Heart because he was bitten by a poisonous spider bred by the Eight-pointed Nest last night.
In this era when electrical equipment was not widely used, it was difficult for ordinary people to come into close contact with electricity, so it was difficult to experience what it felt like to be electrocuted. In this era, people could come into contact with electricity in three main ways. The first was electricity from lightning, the second was electricity from the telegraph office, and the third was static electricity in daily life.
The probability of being struck by lightning is very low. When ordinary people go to the telegraph office to send a telegram, they do not touch the equipment and will not be electrocuted. Therefore, the most common electricity is static electricity. Massimo is a member of the Sea Abyss and an extraordinary person of the Path of Waves. He has lived in coastal cities and islands for a long time. The air humidity in these places is higher than that in the north, so it is difficult to generate static electricity.
Therefore, Massimo, who had never been electrocuted before, could not understand what the feeling was after being electrocuted for the first time, so he directly believed it was a bite from an eight-pointed spider.
"A spider that can bite you so hard? Hmph... It looks like a species with neurotoxins. If you lost your hand due to a spider bite, then it would be more likely that the thief K is from the Eight Points, but..."
As he spoke, Costa's brows furrowed, and he then spoke slowly and seriously.
"It's just... why would the Spider Queen suddenly come and meddle in our affairs? What's their motive? Didn't those guys mess up some plans not long ago, and were almost driven out of business by the Despenser royal family and the church? How come they have the time to meddle in our affairs? Why did they bother to mess with us?"
Costa murmured in confusion that if Thief K was really one of the Eight Points, then his motives would be very confusing, while Massimo on the other side spoke immediately.
"Don't worry about why! With so many signs, this thief K must be related to those blood-sucking spider guys! The Spider Queen is the god of conspiracy. Although I don't know what those spider guys are planning all day long, they definitely have no intention!
"Our top priority right now is to quickly catch Spider K and get the Deep Blue Heart. As long as he is caught, everything will be done."
Massimo said this as a matter of course, and Costa spoke impatiently after hearing it.
"I know the key to the situation is to catch him! But how do you want to catch a shadow man or a vampire hiding among more than 2,700 people?"
"That's easy! Just kill them all! We gather all of them together and kill them one by one. I don't believe that guy won't fight back when it's his turn!"
Pointing at the huge ship behind him, Massimo spoke with spit flying. There was no emotion on his face when he said these words, as if he was pointing at a group of sheep.
Listening to Massimo's words, Costa paused slightly. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke.
"This group of people...are preparing to offer a living sacrifice to Hemohois. We don't know how many people we have to kill to kill the thief. If we kill too many people, there will be too few to offer to Hemohois...you and I can't afford the consequences..."
Costa spoke slowly to Massimo with a serious expression, and Massimo swallowed and responded.
"If we can't find the Deep Blue Heart, the ceremony won't be able to take place, and Hemohois won't be able to have a single living sacrifice! By then, we will have to bear even greater consequences!"
Massimo said this to Costa. After listening to Massimo's words, Costa was silent for a while. After looking at the vast sea and the gray sky for a long time, he continued to speak slowly.
"Bins, where are we now?"
"Sir, according to the nautical chart, we should be in the southwest waters of Sok Island now, and it will take about another day of sailing to reach the designated sea area." A sailor beside Costa answered respectfully. After listening to his words, Costa was silent for a while, and then after making some judgment in his heart, he spoke again.
"Turn course and sail westward. We are heading to the Tear Island."
"yes!"
After hearing Costa's words, the sailor named Bins immediately turned around and ran out, ready to go to the cockpit to execute the order. Massimo, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but say in surprise after hearing Costa's order.
"Tear Island? Isn't that the temple presided over by Master Jianlin?"
"Yes... it's where Lord Jianlin is. It's quite close to here. If we sail at full speed, we can get there in a little over a day." Costa said this, and there was a hint of determination in his expression.
"There are many people over there, and Lord Jianlin is very capable. I don't believe that this little thief can hide in front of him.
"Although we will inevitably be scolded and punished if we go to the Tear Island to find Master Jianlin...but the sacrifice of Hemohois is indispensable. Compared with its anger, Master Jianlin's punishment is more or less acceptable."
