【Ke Fei】Vampires of the Caribbean

"Let's see what's inside~" Ferid happily squeezed into the gap of the opened stone door first, looked around, then turned his head and said, "It's so dark, I can't see anything clearly. Crowley, close the door again." Open up."

Crowley raised his eyebrows. Although the light penetrating into the pyramid from the stone gate was very limited, it should be easy to see the situation inside with the vampire's eyesight.It seemed that Ferid had some kind of intention in making such a request.

However, Crowley did not intend to disobey the other party's order. He clasped the gap in the stone door with both hands and opened it in one fell swoop.Sunlight poured in like golden water, driving away the heavy darkness in a fan-shaped area.The moment the interior of the pyramid was illuminated, both humans gasped.

The dense white bones seemed to be covered with a layer of gold-haired clothes by the sun, reflecting a bleak cold light in a somewhat dim space, and there seemed to be a dark unknown in the dark eye sockets, peeping at the people who broke into the pyramid without permission .

"what is this……"

Margaret struggled to squeeze out a sound from her throat, as if she was worried that raising the volume would disturb the dead here.Even the pirate leader, who was used to seeing death, had a daze on his face, watching the scene in front of him with doubts and unease.

Crowley stepped forward and stood beside Ferid.The vampire's eyesight allowed him to see more than the two humans. He looked around and found that there were nearly a hundred corpses lying in a haphazard manner in the pyramid hall. They all turned into white bones with different movements.Looking sideways at the silver-haired vampire, Crowley asked, "Could this be the missing expedition team?"

"You really didn't see anything." Ferid sighed exaggeratedly, and waved his arms in the direction of the corpse. "Look at the clothes on the bones, do you think these are what explorers would wear?"

After being reminded by Ferid, Crowley noticed that the corpses were covered with large cloaks and ribbons, and some of them were decorated with decorations made of unknown feathers, which were obviously different from the Europeans' attire.In other words, the corpses here are likely to belong to the indigenous people who own the temple.

Looking around the hall of the temple, Crowley found that none of the corpses lying here were wearing European costumes, and judging from the dried blood and lead bullets left at the scene, the cause of death of these people was also obvious.

"Ah~ This is really a big scene~~" Ferid's voice suddenly sounded, echoing in the empty hall.Crowley followed the reputation and saw Ferid standing in the sunlight from the stone gate, holding a gun, "It should be like this. A group of explorers from Europe rushed into the temple, 'Bang bang!' , 'Ah~ Lord~ we have wiped out the barbaric heretics for you!' What human beings have done after so long has really not changed~~"

Exactly what he said.Although Crowley rarely agreed with Ferid's words, he could also hear the irony in the other's words.Ignoring the other party, Crowley glanced at Margaret. The girl's face was extremely pale, and she bit her lower lip tightly to prevent them from trembling uncontrollably. Her legs seemed to lose the strength to support them at any moment.How much of the fear was due to the possibility that her uncle was involved in the massacre that took place here?

"It's indeed a big scene..." Neil raised his head beside the girl, with a dry smile on the corner of his mouth, "So can we leave here? Who knows if there will be any trouble left in such a massacre scene?" Curse." Said the pirate rubbing his arms and shivering, "Just staying here makes me feel chilly."

"That's not possible," Ferid replied briskly, "Don't we still have to find the treasure? The predecessors have shed so much blood for this, how can we give up? Amen!" He was even in the mood A cross was drawn on the forehead and chest.

A vampire praying to God, Crowley curled his lips slightly at the irony.But God doesn't exist, so it doesn't matter.

"Where do you think the expedition team will be? I guess it's inside!" Ferid said loudly, walking into the depths of the pyramid, as excited as a child who finally managed to hike.

"Really." Crowley sighed and followed closely.

Neil took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said desperately, "Forget it, I'll come too. Anyway, if you stay on this island, you have nowhere to go."

"Hey, wait! You guys really want to go in, don't you?" Margaret finally recovered from her stupefaction, and looked helplessly at the companions who were walking one after another.

"If you are afraid, stay outside." Ferid turned his head halfway, waved his hand casually, and said lightly.

Margaret's throat swelled, her voice was dry, "Alone? No..."

"They're all dead anyway~ Dead people don't come back to life~" Ferid jokingly replied.

Apparently, the silver-haired vampire's words didn't have the effect of comforting her. The girl shuddered, looked around subconsciously, and followed the footsteps of the others.

Ferid did not know where to get the torch, and illuminated the corridor leading to the depths of the pyramid behind the hall. Sure enough, there were many skeletons left here, and the orange flame projected the bones on the ground onto the mottled wall. It made the dead and silent temple look even more gloomy.Most of the corpses were lying on the ground against the direction of the gate, it can be seen that they were shot dead while escaping.Judging from the size and clothing of the bones, Crowley found that not only men died here, but also women and children.

It was a veritable massacre, and humans are hopelessly the best-killing race of our kind.

"Well~ let me see where we should go next." Ferid looked at the map in his hand under the light of the torch, and walked deeper into the corridor with great interest.

Crowley took a few steps to Ferid's side, and glanced at the map in the opponent's hand - this was the first time he had looked at the map himself, the map was scribbled with a pen, and there were many others. There are few marks and comments with unclear meanings, but they have become less clear over time.Crowley could just make out the hall of skeletons they had seen when they first entered the temple, and they should be in the corridor connecting the hall by now.

"I said, Ferid, are you sure this map is correct?" Crowley asked.Judging from the map, the corridor is not too long, but they have walked a lot but still can't see another hall connected to the other end of the corridor.

"Who knows," Ferid shrugged, then stopped abruptly.

"What's the matter?" Neil, who was following behind, also stopped and asked.

"It's nothing, I just saw another friend." Ferid didn't look back, and cast his eyes on the ground ahead.

Following Ferid's line of sight, Crowley saw the other's so-called "friend"—another corpse turned into bones.Although as they gradually left the entrance hall, the number of skeletons became less and less, but just one skeleton here would not attract Ferid to stop.But Crowley quickly discovered that it was different. It didn't wear the cloak or sash of the locals. It was a European. To be precise, it should be the first explorer's body they found.

"Crowley," Ferid's voice made the red-haired vampire look away from the corpse, "take three steps forward, and then one step to the right."

"Huh?" Crowley made a puzzled voice, but his body had already habitually followed the other party's instructions, "Is that so?"

"Well~ move forward a little bit."

As the last step landed, Crowley immediately felt a slight subsidence of the floor, and then there was a slight sound of mechanism starting, and a sharp arrow shot towards him with the sound of wind.Margaret let out a scream, but Crowley calmly raised his hand and grasped the body of the arrow, stopping it in front of his eyes. The huge force made the tail of the arrow tremble beyond his fist.

Crowley turned to look at the instigator, and the silver-haired vampire looked back at him with a nonchalant expression, and even smiled at him.

"What is this..." Sighing, Crowley threw away the arrow in his hand, but before he could fully complain, the sound of more mechanism activation sounded.On the top of the head, on the ground, and on the left and right walls, rows of black holes were exposed around Crowley at the same time, and sharp arrows shining with icy light flew out of the string.

"Woo!" Crowley couldn't help screaming, even though the arrows shot from all directions seemed to be stagnant in his eyes.He could clearly see the trajectory of each arrow, so he only moved his body slightly to avoid each incoming arrow with the smallest range.

With a few "swish", several arrows that Crowley dodged flew straight in the direction of Ferid, while the latter just smiled and dodged while flying in the direction of the former, hugging him. Holding Crowley's waist, he said in a nasal and coquettish tone: "Really, you didn't block the arrows for me. As a knight, you are remiss in your duty."

Crowley didn't shake off Ferid's arm, but just lowered his head slightly, and said in a helpless and complaining tone: "Really, since you know where the trap is, there's no need for me to step on it on purpose."

"If you don't step on it, how can we pass?" Ferid said, turning around happily, and said to Neil and Margaret who were still standing there, "Right? It's time to come."

A small exhalation sound came from the two people who were called, and Margaret lowered her shoulders exaggeratedly, as if she had finally relieved some burden.Neil tugged at the girl who seemed to have forgotten how to walk, and together they walked to the place where the vampire was waiting.

"Who are you guys..." Margaret asked in a low voice while glancing at the corpse.The arrow piercing the bone's chest made the girl's face turn paler, and she looked away as if being pricked by a needle.

"We are just the captain and first mate who were killed." Ferid replied with a smile, and his words were not half credible.

Neil laughed dryly at this, "Haha, with your skills, those sailors can really make things difficult for you?"

"Unfortunate weather~" Turning his head, Ferid looked at the map in his hand again, "Okay, we can move on."

"I said Ferid, aren't you a bit too much?" Crowley looked down at his clothes, and the wet fabric was now stained a lot of gray and black.The red-haired vampire sighed and stretched out his hand to wipe it a few times, but it didn't help - the stains were all firmly stuck to it because of the moisture.

Looking up, Ferid put away the map as if he had just discovered Crowley's existence, and said, "Oh, thank you for your hard work. Look, thanks to you, we got here safely, right?"

Seeing Ferid's still glamorous appearance, Crowley sighed again and didn't answer, but turned to a stone door in front of him and asked, "Is there another trap ahead?"

"Hmm~ Why don't you just open it and try?" Ferid's mouth curled into a half-smile, as if he was urging Crowley to open the door to the unknown.

At this time, the hesitation seemed too hypocritical. Although Crowley had no interest in the space behind the stone door, he pushed the stone door open according to Ferid's wishes.

Behind the stone gate is a hall similar to what you saw when you entered the pyramid, but compared to the hall full of corpses, it is so empty that there is another kind of weirdness.The only thing that attracts attention is the gorgeous murals that almost cover the entire wall.

"what is this?"

Ferid stepped into the hall, looked around at the murals, and said with a smile: "This seems to tell the reason why this temple was built."
