" Brat, let's go…" The pirates knew that they were being attacked by an unknown force, and it seemed to be very powerful. They immediately asked Kite to leave. After all, Kite was one of Admiral Junero's subordinates and was the lookout of the entire pirate group. He had excellent eyesight and could not let him die here. They had even sworn to guarantee Admiral Junero's safety.
" No, if I leave, you won't know what they're doing. With me here, we can at least see what they're doing..." Kate said in panic. Although he wanted to leave, he knew that he couldn't just leave like this. Abandoning his companions was nothing. He couldn't do it.
"Kate!" The pirate interrupted Kate. They didn't want Kate to die here." Listen to me, kid. You have to go out and report. You're useless here. You don't even have any combat power, understand?”The pirate pressed on Kate's shoulder and said seriously, not giving Kate any face at all.
"Oh…"
"Kite, I know you won't abandon us, but someone has to go out and report. You have good eyesight and are very agile. Although you don't have much combat power, you are the only one who can escape. You have to remember that we are only here to investigate. We have to inform Admiral Junero of the information inside, understand?”
"Oh…"
"Hurry up and leave, Kate. We'll hold you back. Don't waste time!”As he spoke, he pushed Kate aside. Seeing that his pirate friends really didn't want him to stay here, Kate could only nod at them.
" Okay, I got it. You guys hold on. I'll bring big brother and the others over soon..." As she spoke, she carried the three-tailed cat and ran back in the direction she came from.
After losing Kite, the pirates behind them fell into complete darkness. The unknown group of people began to attack them. Arrows and arrows opened up a path, and the pirates only heard the sound of arrows flying past their ears. Their companions beside them screamed and fell one by one.
Kate didn't run far. He stopped and watched everything that happened. His companions fell one by one. He fell to the ground and cried out heart-wrenchingly. Then, he slowly stopped and finally died. He could not accept the scene in front of him. Perhaps it was the first time he had seen a living person who was talking and laughing in front of him. Now, he was gone. This reality was too cruel for him. At this moment, Kate was holding the three-tailed cat in her arms and stood rooted to the ground. She was dumbfounded as she looked at the place where her companions had died. She did not realize that the group of strangers had already run in his direction.
The three-tailed cat in his arms could clearly feel the murderous strangers rushing towards him. It immediately stood up and hissed angrily in that direction. Of course, it was also to wake up Kate who was still in a daze.
"Kitten, thank you!" Fortunately, Kate was brought back to her senses by the three-tailed cat. She patted the three-tailed cat's head and comforted it. The three-tailed cat was quite intelligent. It climbed onto Kate's head and lay down without making a sound. Kate turned around and ran away. He saw that the group of strangers was getting closer and closer. If he didn't run now, he would definitely be caught.
The group of strangers obviously wouldn't let Kate go. The people with bows and arrows on their backs pulled their bowstrings and released a wave of arrows. Although it was a dense forest, and most of the arrows were blocked by the tree trunk, which was full of arrows, Kite's leg was still hit by an arrow and he fell to the ground.
" Ugh…" Kate covered her feet. Three-Tailed Cat jumped down from her head and licked Kate's wound with a worried expression.
"Oh no, I can't fall. I have to continue fleeing.”Kate gritted her teeth and stood up. She picked up the three-tailed cat and placed it on her head before running a few more steps. However, there were too many arrows coming from behind. Even if they were in the forest, some of them would still fly to his side.
"Swish! Swish!"
Another two arrows hit Kate's arm and shoulder. Kite fell to the ground and cried out loudly. He couldn't move. He was definitely dead this time. Looking at the three-tailed cat in front of him, he felt a little unwilling. He hadn't even gone to the depths of the great sea route with Junero, and now he was going to die here. He was unwilling, very unwilling.
"Big brother! Save me!" Kite used the last of his strength and shouted at the sky, hoping that Junero would hear his voice and come to save him.
Outside the forest, Junero and Sven were waiting for Lanik's return. However, they also noticed something on the other side of the forest. A group of unknown birds flew out of the forest. Junero wondered if something had happened there. He was a little worried about Kite.
"Sven, did you hear something? It seems to be Kate's?”Junero was a little confused. He vaguely heard Kate's cry and felt uneasy. He prayed that nothing would happen to Kate.
"No, it's not an auditory hallucination, right, Captain?”Although Sven did not hear anything, he could guess what was going on in the forest when he saw the unknown birds chirping and flying into the sky." Captain, why don't we wait for Lanik and go into the forest first? Something might have happened."”
"Yes!" Junero was also anxious. After all, Kite was in the forest and had vaguely heard Kite's voice. Junero did not care about the others and directly rushed towards the place where the weak sound came from.
" Captain..." Sven saw Junero leave and looked helpless. He quickly ordered his pirate brothers," Ah Jin, gather the brothers. We'll prepare for the Golden Forest. Something seems to have happened over there. We have to go in and take a look."”
"Yes, sir!"
"Leave some people to guard the ship. The others will follow us. When Lanik comes back, tell him to wait for us on the ship.”
"Yes, sir!"
After receiving Sven's order, Ah Jin decisively made arrangements." You guys don't have to practice today. We're going into the deep forest.”
"Whoosh…"
The pirates who were being trained by Ah Jin also heaved a sigh of relief. They could finally go out for a walk.
At this moment, Junero had already rushed into the forest and disappeared. Only then did Sven and Ah Jin lead the group to the forest. However, just as he reached the edge of the forest, he saw a figure walking out of the forest. He staggered and fell to the ground, covered in blood. This was a member of the pirate group. Sven remembered that he was one of the few teams that had gone in to investigate.
"What happened?" Sven walked up and helped the injured pirate up. From the looks of the wound, it should have been man-made. He did not expect there to be humans in the forest on the shell of the World Turtle. It was completely beyond his imagination.
"We…we…were…attacked by someone. The whole…team was destroyed. The…other teams…were the same.”The pirate panted as he spoke. After saying this, he fainted.
"You guys carry him back to the cabin, and then go find Dr. Lanik. Tell him we're in trouble and need him to treat the wounded.”Sven decisively gave a new order.
"Yes, sir!"
"The rest of you, follow me and quickly advance into the forest!”
