After walking for another two incense sticks of time, when the boss and his companions were suspecting that they were going to hell along this tunnel, a wooden door appeared in front of them.
"Still no movement," whispered a former pirate.
The boss reached out and pushed the door, and with just a light push, the wooden door opened.
The smell of blood was carried by the cold wind from deep underground and blew towards them from behind the door. The boss and his companions all looked startled, knowing that they had finally arrived.
A group of people crowded in front of the door and looked inside together.
There was no light inside the door, only darkness.
"Princess?" someone shouted.
There was no response from the door.
"Anyone too?" another former pirate asked puzzledly.
The boss took the torch from a brother, took a few steps towards the door, and then he froze.
The group walked into the house cautiously, and after seeing the situation inside clearly, everyone held their breath. Even though these pirates were used to seeing blood, their legs became weak at this moment.
The square basement was large, with seven or eight rows of wooden racks neatly arranged. On the last two rows of racks, more than a dozen skinned bodies were laid horizontally on the racks, with wooden basins placed underneath to collect the blood. Some of the bodies had already decayed, while others looked like they had not been dead for long. Blood dripped into the basins, and the fat-covered flesh seemed to move when the wind blew.
"vomit--"
The two former pirates couldn't stand this kind of stimulation, so they bent over and vomited.
The big boss also felt disgusted, but what he was more concerned about at this moment was where Yu Xiaoxiao was. It seemed that they had reached the end of the road after entering this underground room. Where was his princess?
"Who are these people?" a brother asked.
The eldest boss said unhappily, "We are not from the Dali Temple, how can we be in charge of this matter?"
"There's another pond ahead," a brother pointed forward.
"Damn it," the boss cursed and walked forward.
Everyone carefully avoided the corpse on the wooden frame and walked to the front of the pool.
There was no water or corpse in the pool, only a few yellowish objects.
A brother said, "Pig skin?"
The boss turned his head to look at the corpse on the wooden frame and said, "Pig skin, this is human skin."
Before the boss finished speaking, another person vomited on the spot.
Everyone stood in the basement, and no one dared to speak for a moment. The places where the light could not reach were still pitch black. The pirates stood close to each other unconsciously, and they all instinctively felt the danger.
"Huh," something called out in the darkness.
This time even the big boss shuddered and shouted, "Who is it?!"
The two brothers shone their torches towards the place where the sound came from, and saw a man covered in blood standing there.
"You," the big boss squinted his eyes and looked at the man carefully, and shouted, "You have no skin?!"
"Where's his skin?" another former pirate exclaimed.
"How can he still be alive without skin?!" the third person shouted.
This skinless man walked towards the bosses step by step. Although he only had two rows of teeth in his mouth, the boss could feel that this man was smiling at him!
"Damn it," the big boss waved the knife in his hand and said, "Let's fight!"
The former pirates gave themselves courage, yelled, waved their weapons and followed the boss to rush up.
The big boss yelled at the skinless man, "I've fought with medicine men before, how can I be afraid of you?!"
"Medicine man?" When the skinless man heard the boss mention medicine man, he stopped and spoke.
Oh my god!
The boss almost fell to the ground. How could this thing still talk? !
"Are you a human or a ghost?!" a brother shouted at the skinless man.
The skinless man looked at the boss, his eyes without skin covering them looked enough to give people nightmares.
The boss spat on the ground. It was too late to run away now, so he could only fight for his life.
"Brother," a brother who was holding a knife in one hand and a torch in the other shouted at this time, "His right hand is gone!"
The bosses were reminded by someone and then they discovered that the skinless man's right hand was empty.
The boss didn't waste any more time talking to the monster, he just rushed forward and started chopping with his knife.
The skinless man just raised his hand, grabbed the boss's knife, and said, "Are you worthy enough to fight me?"
The boss felt that he was doomed.
At this moment, the wall behind everyone made a rumbling sound.
Several former pirates looked back hurriedly and saw a secret door appear on the wall. Their princess walked out of the door, holding two people in her hands.
Yu Xiaoxiao was also stunned when she saw the group of people in front of her, and said, "Why are you here?"
When the former pirates saw Her Royal Highness the Princess, they felt relieved instantly and ran towards Yu Xiaoxiao together.
The boss, who was being strangled by the skinless men and held hostage, burst into tears. Have these guys forgotten about him?
Yu Xiaoxiao threw the two people she was holding to the ground, raised her chin towards the skinless man, and said, "If you don't want to die, let them go."
The former pirates stood behind Yu Xiaoxiao. At this moment, they were not worried about the safety of their boss at all. This was because their princess had always been brave and invincible. The brothers believed that there would be no accidents this time.
The skinless man retreated holding the boss hostage. His right hand had been broken by Yu Xiaoxiao before, and his sternum was also broken. He knew that he was no match for the princess. If he wanted to leave alive, he had to hold on to the weight in his hand tightly.
Yu Xiaoxiao stood still, looking at the skinless man coldly, cursing the boss: "What's the use of you? Everyone else is fine, only you are!"
Big boss..., that's because he was the first to charge forward, is being brave a crime?!
"Princess," a brother asked Yu Xiaoxiao, "Is he a medicine man?"
The boss suddenly didn't dare to breathe. If this person was a medicine man and someone spit a bug on him, he would be really finished!
Yu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "I don't think so."
Another brother pressed, "What is he then?"
Yu Xiao: "The old Taoist said that people like them are those who practice evil magic."
"Oh," the brothers nodded and exclaimed, regardless of whether they understood it or not.
Yu Xiao: "Is my little Gu okay?"
The eldest boss was furious and shouted at Yu Xiaoxiao, "I'm the one who's in trouble now, are you worried about me? Can you believe what the old Taoist says? Princess, if I die, what will happen to my wife? What will happen to my son?!"
"Shut up!" The skinless man tightened his hand around the boss' throat.
The big boss rolled his eyes and couldn't say anything because of the pinching.
"Let me go," the skinless man said to Yu Xiao, "or he will die!"
Yu Xiao: "Kill one for me and see. I never accept threats from anyone."
Big Boss..., so this day next year will be his death anniversary? !
