"Shh! Keep your voice down. Let's start exploring from the innermost part. Don't panic if we encounter enemies!" After entering the cabin, which was quite quiet as everyone was fighting outside, theoretically, there should be no one there. However, Fang Yi still reminded Shanks and Bucky to be careful.
Unlike the obedient Shanks, Bucky's eyes were shining, and he wanted to rush out to look for treasures right away.
"Bucky! If you can't follow our agreement, I'll send you back right now!" Fang Yi said seriously.
"Alright, alright! I got it!" Bucky replied impatiently.
"Let's go!" Seeing this, Fang Yi kept an eye out and then led the two of them towards the inside of the cabin.
Generally, the captain's lounge is at the innermost part, where there are also the most treasures.
However, just after they turned the first corner, Fang Yi, who was walking in the front, stopped.
"What's going on?" Bucky, who was following behind, asked puzzledly.
"Don't make a noise. Be quiet! Can you hear any sounds?" Fang Yi gave the two of them a look and then slowly crawled down.
Seeing this, Shanks and Bucky followed suit and crawled down.
Soon, the three of them stood up at the same time and exchanged glances with each other.
They all heard the sound, and it was right under their feet.
"There's another floor below!" Bucky said excitedly.
This was simply an exciting treasure hunt!
However, Fang Yi had the same thought as Shanks. There was something strange here. Judging from the sounds they heard just now, there were quite a few people on the lower floor. But now they were being attacked by pirates. Why didn't those people come out to help? Instead, they were hiding in the interlayer at the bottom of the cabin?
So, after hesitating for a moment, Fang Yi gave Shanks a look and then was about to continue moving forward. But at this time, he suddenly heard footsteps, and it seemed that there was more than one person.
"Take cover!" Fang Yi kicked Bucky on the butt and then immediately drew his bow and loaded three arrows at once.
After hearing Fang Yi's warning, Shanks quickly returned to the previous corner.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Sure enough, just as Shanks had just hidden his figure, he heard the sound of Fang Yi shooting the arrows.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
Three screams and the sounds of three people falling to the ground rang out. All three of Fang Yi's arrows hit the targets. Then he immediately turned around and ran away. The pirates coming out from the opposite side were probably going to the deck to help. There were at least a dozen of them. Even though three of them had fallen, if they blocked Fang Yi in this narrow place, given his current strength, he wouldn't stand a chance.
"Damn it, catch them!"
Hearing the voice of the enemy on the other side, Shanks and Bucky both became nervous. At this time, Fang Yi suddenly ran back and said to them, "You two, don't get up. Wait until my arrows are shot before you make a move!"
Fang Yi, who had redrawn his bow, took a deep breath and said to the two of them.
Shanks and Bucky looked at each other, understanding what Fang Yi was planning, and nodded at the same time to show that they understood.
Soon, the sound of chaotic footsteps rang out. Immediately afterwards, five or six guys in servant uniforms rushed over. When they saw Shanks and Bucky squatting there, they were startled.
But before they could react, after hearing a few "whooshing" sounds, three of their companions fell to the ground again.
"Die!"
Without Fang Yi's reminder, Bucky and Shanks simultaneously launched a surprise attack on the remaining two, each taking out an enemy with a single sword. Just as they were about to turn back and celebrate with Fang Yi, they saw that Fang Yi remained in the posture of drawing a bow, on high alert towards the turning of the corridor.
"Are there still enemies?" Shanks and Bucky were stunned and immediately turned to look, but there was nothing there, not a single person.
"Hey, there are no enemies anymore!" Bucky immediately complained discontentedly.
"Whoosh!" But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Fang Yi shoot an arrow at him. The arrow flew past his head, making Bucky so angry that he wanted to go up and argue with Fang Yi.
"Whoa~ How did you know there were still enemies?" Shanks held Bucky back and pointed at the enemy who had just fallen behind him, asking.
"I don't know, but as pirates, we must always stay vigilant during battles. Otherwise... you won't be able to participate in the next battle!" After taking out another arrow and getting ready for battle at any moment, Fang Yi replied softly.
Seeing that Fang Yi had just saved his life, Bucky knew it was not good to say more, but he still murmured something in a low voice.
"Be careful... There must be something strange down here. Judging from their clothes, they all seem to be servants. So there must be someone here who can command them!" Holding his bow and arrow, Fang Yi said as he carefully moved forward.
But just as he rounded the corner, suddenly his heart skipped a beat. A sense of extreme danger made his heart tingle.
"Whoosh!"
Without time to think, Fang Yi took an instant step back. A long sword swiped past his cheek, leaving a bloodstain on his face.
"Kid... You guessed it right. There is indeed me giving the orders here!" When Fang Yi looked up and saw who the person was, Shanks and Bucky just barely managed to protect him behind them.
"Damn it! You had the nerve to launch a sneak attack! If you're man enough, come here and see if I don't hack you down!" After seeing there was only one person on the other side, Bucky immediately shouted arrogantly.
Since the beginning, it had been all about Fang Yi's performance. If he didn't make any contributions, when it came to dividing up the treasures later, Fang Yi probably wouldn't give him much. So right now, he wanted to take out this little boss, so he could make the biggest contribution and grab the most treasures.
However, upon hearing Bucky's words, the other person didn't get angry. Instead, he grinned and smiled.
Facing three kids, he really didn't take them too seriously. Although Fang Yi and the others had defeated all his subordinates just now, in his opinion, it was only because his subordinates had been caught off guard by Fang Yi and the others' surprise attack.
So he didn't waste any words on Bucky's provocation. He simply swung his sword at Shanks and Bucky.
"Dang!"
"Shanks, who was standing at the front, directly blocked the opponent's attack with the long sword in his hand. However, the opponent was so strong that he knocked Shanks' weapon out of his hand.
"Idiot! Have you forgotten all I've taught you? Don't compete with the opponent in strength!" Seeing this, Fang Yi shot an arrow while scolding Shanks.
"Clang!"
Facing Fang Yi's arrow, the opponent had to change his move. The long sword that was originally going to slash at Shanks blocked the arrow instead.
On the other side, seeing this, Bucky thrust his long sword forward and stabbed at the opponent's abdomen.
At the same time when Fang Yi shot the arrow, he grabbed Shanks and pulled the weaponless Shanks back from the front.
"Bang!"
Just as Fang Yi rescued Shanks, Bucky was kicked by the opponent and sent flying back.
"After taking a deep breath, Fang Yi said to Shanks beside him, "Shanks, take Bucky and leave first. Leave this guy to me!"
"Okay, be careful!" Shanks didn't try to be brave. He knew that the enemy in front of them was not someone he and Bucky could handle. So now he was thinking about taking Bucky out first and then calling for help.
"Hahaha... Kid, do you want to fight me alone?" The burly man on the opposite side didn't seem to stop Shanks. Instead, he looked at Fang Yi mockingly and said, "Your archery's pretty good, but in this place, it's tough for an archer!"
The corridor in the cabin was not wide, and there wasn't much room to dodge. That's why Bucky was kicked flying by the opponent with little resistance just now.
"It's enough to deal with you!" Although Fang Yi said so, his palms were already wet with sweat. This wasn't a sparring session with the crew members on the ship. Once he failed, he might lose his life.
"Hahaha... Then after I deal with you, I'll send your companions to accompany you!" After saying that, the burly man directly attacked Fang Yi.
"Got him!" While retreating, Fang Yi drew his bow and shot an arrow at the opponent. However, perhaps because of nervousness and fear, the strength and accuracy of this arrow were a bit off.
"Whoosh!" But the burly man just tilted his head and easily dodged Fang Yi's arrow.
"Kid, I have to say your archery skills are good, but... for me... it's still not enough! Hahaha!" Seeing Fang Yi's panicked look, the burly man couldn't help but laugh proudly.
"Really? Then try this!" Fang Yi put three arrows on the bow at the same time. Then, instead of retreating, he stood still and shot three arrows at the burly man simultaneously.
"What?" The burly man didn't expect Fang Yi to have such a Qi Skill. After dodging two arrows, he still got hit by one in the shoulder.
"Kid, you've successfully angered me! Now I've decided not to play with you anymore. Go to hell!" The injured burly man was a bit angry and directly slashed at Fang Yi with his sword.
But at this moment, two figures rushed out from the corner of the corridor. They were Shanks and Bucky, who were supposed to have left earlier.
"Idiot, it's you who will die!"
Bucky rushed out and stabbed the strong man in the abdomen with his sword under the man's slightly fearful look.
On the other side, Shanks kicked the man's arm, which disrupted his slash and ensured that Fang Yi wouldn't be hurt.
Previously, Fang Yi noticed the two when he was retreating. As a result, he changed his tactics on the spur of the moment, deliberately showing weakness to the enemy. This made the enemy charge forward without any caution. And at the last moment, Fang Yi used the Three Arrows Shot Simultaneously technique, completely infuriating the opponent.
"Wow ha ha ha... I'm truly a genius! Humph, you thought you could kick me? Well, you still ended up dead at my hands!" Bucky, who had successfully carried out the sneak - attack, laughed excitedly and kept kicking the fallen strong man, as if he wanted to avenge himself for the kick he'd received.
"Alright, Bucky, don't get too cocky. Watch out! There might be enemy reinforcements coming from the rear!" Although Fang Yi wasn't injured in the previous fight, he'd still expended a great deal of mental energy. Now that he suddenly relaxed, he immediately felt weak all over.
