Baxian Hotel

A loud noise suddenly came from the cabin next to them, as if there was a giant monster desperately hammering the walls, causing Jia Zhengjing to jump out of fright. He grabbed the compass he threw away, raising it up high, ready to throw it out and use it as a brick at any time.

I put away my folding fan and listened carefully. This sound didn't seem to come from very close proximity. It was just that the effects of the closed-off cabin had made it especially loud. Judging the source of the sound, it should be on the right.

While I was lying on my stomach listening to the door, a group of Skeleton Sailors suddenly ran in front of me. Through the porthole, I could see that they were all carrying axes and machetes, and there were even a few that were carrying a 3-5 meter long lance. It seemed like the thing they were dealing with was not simple at all.

They had only run for a few minutes when a few loud roars came from the distance. The skeletons did not make a sound, but between the roars, one could hear the clanging of their weapons against the ground and walls.

After about ten minutes, a large group of Skeleton Sailors appeared in my line of sight. This time, the number of Skeleton Sailors were several times more than last time, I could even see Bearded Liu amongst them. He walked among the Skeleton Sailors, holding a box tightly in his hand. There seemed to be something extraordinary inside.

Not long after they went over, the roaring and the sound of hammering on the wall became louder, the entire boat started to shake violently. I tightly grabbed onto the door handle to secure myself, while Jia Zhengjing had already crawled under the bed to look for life jackets. He was already preparing for the moment when the boat flipped over.

After a while, there was a sudden scream that hurt my eardrums, but it was followed by a heavy gasp, as if the giant had been badly injured and was no longer able to fight back. When my ears recovered a little bit more, I heard the sound of Skeleton Sailors approaching from afar. Their footsteps were mixed with the sound of dragging and dragging. It seemed that this accident had caused them to suffer quite a bit.

I didn't look out anymore and laid back on my bed to think about it. There was a monster hiding on board the ship, and it looked like there was no harmony between it and the 'crew members', and the monster's fighting strength was not ordinary either. Even a few waves of Skeleton Sailors were unable to take advantage of it, and it even alarmed Bearded Liu. But in that case, this monster seems to be the only way Jia Zhengjing and I can escape.

I flipped over and sat up, thinking to tell Jia Zhengjing. He also agreed, but raised three questions. The first one was how we were going to leave the small cabin. Secondly, if we incite them to attack each other, how can we guarantee their safety? If we don't kill them off, it would be equivalent to suicide. Third and most importantly, how to make that monster fight with them? It was already done after half a day's effort. If they were to coexist peacefully and kiss like a family, it would be very awkward.

I scratched my chin, thinking of the skeleton sailor with the red turban. "Let me think, maybe it's a possibility." You don't have to worry about your safety. If it's a narrow escape, you just have to act according to the circumstances. "As for that monster …" I raised my eyebrows at him and pointed at the folding fan that I had put together earlier. "Maybe the solution is right here."

Just as I said that, I snapped open the fan in my hands!

The loud roar came as expected. Although it was not as powerful as before, there was a trace of anger and unwillingness within the dull feeling. Clearly, it was fighting against some kind of restriction.

I closed the folding fan, and the roar slowly died down with a trace of hesitation and confusion. I turned my head to look at the shocked Jia Zhengjing who had sat up and laughed wickedly, "Looks like my guess was correct."

Fourth Boss, this fan of yours ~ ~ ~ is ~ ~ ~ really ~ ~ amazing ~" Jia Zhengjing gave me a thumbs up. "But he didn't ask me where the fan had come from, as I had expected. I had made up a number of lies for him, which would have been a waste.

"Then how do we get out of here?" Jia Zhengjing was excited again.

I pointed to the hatch. "This is not a cell," I said. "Every time those skeletons open the door and come in, they put down their food." I've watched it several times, and one of them seemed to be wearing a red headscarf that didn't seem very elegant. I think it might be an opportunity. "

Jia Zhengjing's eyes lit up when he heard me, and he went up to me to ask about my plans in detail. After that, he pointed and added for a long time, before lying back down on the bed contently, waiting for the arrival of the red-robed skeleton sailor, who was bringing food to him.

After about two to three hours, the sound of shoes scraping on the ground came from outside the door. The Skeleton Sailor who brought the food had arrived!

I stood one meter away from the door and stared at the porthole. Just as I noticed a strand of red floating past, I immediately waved towards Jia Zhengjing. Jia Zhengjing used his standard football move to put himself at the door of the room. Not even half a minute after he laid down, the cabin door opened, and a Skeleton Sailor wearing a red scarf entered.

According to usual practice, it would put down the lunchbox in its hands and leave, staying in front of the door for no more than 15 seconds. However, this time, Jia Zhengjing who suddenly laid down in front of the door made it hesitate, as if it was deciding whether to place the lunchbox down, or close the door and leave, or if it needed to do something else. In that moment of hesitation, Jia Zhengjing grabbed both its legs.

As expected, its control over its own body was not nimble enough. There were a few times when it wanted to reach out to grab Jia Zhengjing but it was unable to do so. I took the opportunity to fly over, put my hands on the head of the red scarf, and dropped with all my might.

The red scarf missed our sneak attack and fell to the ground. Jia Zhengjing stood up and carried the red scarf with me. The red scarf still wanted to resist but both of his hands reached out to grab my wrist, so I didn't care about him. I shouted a few words at Jia Zhengjing and threw it into the furthest room. Then, the two of them turned around and ran out of the cabin.

He ran to the right as soon as he stepped out of the door. The rusted iron corridor sounded like it had been stepped on. It was impossible for him to escape even if he wanted to keep a low profile.

Jia Zhengjing picked up a nearly two meter long iron fence that was broken off from who knows where, he waved it around and started to run around. He looked quite imposing at the start, just that he was not fat in the first place, with a rod in his hands, he looked like a giant praying mantis. I followed behind his, continuously knocking over all the junk in the corridor. I could already hear the footsteps of the pursuers behind me. I should be able to rest for a while.

After running for a few minutes, Jia Zhengjing sent two Skeleton Sailors flying with a whoosh, and dragged me into a large cabin. After closing the cabin door, the iron rod conveniently locked onto the door, and only now did we both heave a sigh of relief.

The sound of muffled thunder came from the depths of the cabin, as though it was the heavy breathing of a gigantic beast. This sound also reminded me that our plan had just been completed.

This cabin was considered a suite. Our current location was more like a hallway or a reception area. There was also a dimly lit corridor in front of us. After walking along the corridor for a dozen meters or so, we turned around the corner.

The cabin in this inner chamber is small enough to hold about five or six of the size of our little room. However, it was crowded because in the middle of the cabin was a huge pond exuding a strange smell. In the pool was a huge fellow, and he was tied up by iron chains all over.

I pinched my nose and slowly moved closer to it, carefully looking at this big fellow. It really looked like a huge tiger, but its body was covered in green and yellow scales, and at the back of its butt was a dense bunch of tails. At a glance, there should be at least seven or eight of them.

From its head to its neck, four limbs, and even its tail was firmly fixed in iron chains. Let alone turning its head, it couldn't even shake its tail. Each chain was as thick as my arm and covered with yellow or black runes. The monster seemed to have all its strength suppressed by the chains. It could only stand like a statue in the pool. In front of it was a large piece of transparent glass, allowing one to see the scenery outside. From the seabed, one could see that this was the lowest part of the bow.

"Four, Fourth Boss, you ~ ~ come look here." Jia Zhengjing stood on the other side of the monster and called out to me with a trembling voice.

I walked over and looked in the direction he was pointing. A hole had been cut open in the monster's stomach, and a leather pipe had been inserted into the wound. Drops of azure-yellow liquid flowed out from the opening of the tube and into a pail that was neither stone nor jade.

"Simply bastard! I'm going to tear that Bearded Liu to shreds! To hell with his ghost ship! " Jia Zhengjing was furious, but his anger was incomprehensible to me. Even though I feel angry, but the most important thing right now is how to leave, right?

I patted him on the shoulder and walked slowly over to the head. In addition to the iron chains, there was a special iron flail that held its head in place, making it unable to even turn its head to look at me. I turned in front of it, and was still startled when I saw what it looked like.

It had eight heads on its neck, eight human heads! Each head had a different face, and when I stood in front of it, sixteen eyes opened in unison and stared at me, and for a moment I felt as if I were suffocating, unable to move, or afraid to move.

What kind of gaze is that? Grief, despair, gloominess, fear, anger … Almost all the negative emotions were concentrated in this gaze. There was also an indescribable dignity and pressure pressing against me, making me unable to even move a finger.

If not for Jia Zhengjing, I think I would be dead in one glance by this monster. He fiercely tore at a black talisman paper and was sent flying to the side with a loud bang. When the monster heard the noise, it seemed to have thought of what Jia Zhengjing wanted to do. It used a very minute movement to shake its head and slowly closed its eyes. At this moment, I felt that my body could finally move. My entire body was drenched in sweat, and my clothes were sticking onto my body as if they were fished out of the water.

I dragged my weak legs and walked over to Jia Zhengjing who had just crawled up, and asked in a trembling voice, "What exactly is this monster?"
