traveler among pirates

Chapter 5 An Accident with the Monster Chidao Sakura
After deciphering the words on the several stone tablets, even with the character of Esius, he was in ecstasy for a while.

What surprised Hughes was that the contents recorded on the four slabs were actually about swordsmanship and body skills, as well as the practice and application of the quite perfect three-color domineering.

Hughes suspected that the inhabitants of the ruins were not simple in ancient times.

After getting the complete cultivation method, after spending a period of time training, he can basically master the above content.
After that, Hughes has been exercising according to the method on the stone tablet, using the mountains on the island and the mountains on the seabed to practice crazily.

The beasts on the island have been destroyed by Hughes, and there are no sea kings in the sea, which is all caused by Hughes.

Hughes was also very helpless about this. There were no strong men on the island, so he could only find those strong enough beasts as training objects.

What Hughes lacks now is only continuous actual combat to test his own strength.

And Hughes himself wanted to leave this island to see this vast world.

Therefore, he decided to leave the island and go to sea to experience this great era of pirates.

But before leaving, he planned to go to the top of the stone platform to have a look.

The sense of oppression that fills this ruins all comes from the top of this high platform.

Once in the process of falling, Hughes vaguely saw that there was a knife exuding a strange red glow.

As Hughes gradually moved towards the top of the high platform, the sense of oppression from the top became more and more intense, but Hughes ignored it and continued to move forward at a leisurely pace.

Soon, Hughes stood on the top of the high platform, and the pressure in the surrounding air was squeezing Hughes all the time.

"It's really a knife."

There is only a lonely stone table on the top of the high platform, and on the stone table is a long knife without a sheath.

There are four sunken marks on the ground around the stone table.

"Is this a stele?"

Hughes suspected that the broken steles on the ground should have been here, but he didn't know why they fell to the ground.

Hughes came to the stone table and looked at the knife. The knife was about two meters long and three fingers wide. The whole body of the knife was red, as if poured with blood.

The slender blade exuded an astonishing sense of oppression, and the blade was filled with crimson blood smoke, burning and rising like a flame.

Hughes stretched out his hand to the handle of the knife. As the palm of Hughes approached, Hughes felt the repulsion from the long knife, which became stronger and stronger. In the end, Hughes couldn't even hold the handle completely.

Seeing this, Hughes frowned slightly, and a momentum visible to the naked eye spread rapidly from Hughes' body, sweeping the entire underground space.

Countless black lightning strikes kept moving in this space, and the space began to shatter in the collision of these two pressures.

The stone platform made a rattling sound, fine cracks appeared continuously, the stalactites above the head began to loosen, and a large number of cracks began to appear in the surrounding rock walls.

It was just a stalemate for a few seconds. The coercion that originally belonged to the knife in the air was strongly pressed back to the blade by the momentum exuded by Hughes.

"Buzz!"

The long knife groaned slightly, expressing his unwillingness.

Hughes has already thought about it, if he can't tame the knife, he will choose to give up.

Yes, for Hughes, taking the knife is like taming a proud beast.

Wild beasts will only obey the hunters they recognize, and if they take it now, they will only suffer backlash in the future.

Rather than having an accident at a critical moment, it is better to choose not to do it from the beginning.

Hughes is so decisive, he won't bet on whether he will tame the knife in the future, he just doesn't want his future to regret because of his momentary mistake.

Hughes stared at the long knife for a while, and held it up again. This time, the long knife only made a buzzing sound, and then stopped doing anything.

"Crack~"

Before Hughes had a good feel for the knife, the rocks of the dome suddenly began to fall in large pieces.

The stone platform at the bottom of his feet began to tilt and collapse. Seeing this, Hughes had to temporarily put away the knife and jumped to the ground.

Hughes walked quickly through the ruins, and the sharp cone-shaped stalactites kept falling behind Hughes.

After a roar, the entire ruins began to collapse, filled with smoke and dust.

When he came to the bottom of the falling hole, Hughes tore off his shirt, tied the long knife to his lower back, and then stepped on the protruding position of the rock wall and jumped upwards.

Hughes suddenly exerted force on his legs, jumped up, and grabbed a ledge on a stone wall with his hands.

Hughes looked at the ruins in the distance. Large pieces of rubble kept falling from the roof of the cave. Smoke and dust were everywhere in the ruins. The stone platform in the center could no longer see its original appearance.

With a backhand force, Hughes lightly fell onto the ledge.

The collapse in the distance has almost spread to the rock shelf here, and Hughes continued to climb up.

"jijiji!"

On the top of the cherry blossom tree, several cherry sparrows stayed on the trunk to play. Suddenly, they seemed to sense something, and fled away from the cherry blossom tree and flew into the air.

One at the top of the cherry blossom tree suddenly poked its hand out from the dark passage, and firmly grasped the edge of the tunnel.

Hughes sent himself out with a force of his arm.

boom!
A loud noise came from the cherry tree.

"It's dangerous~"

Hughes looked behind him. There should have been a tunnel there, but now there were no traces, only some strange green liquid remained in place.

When the green liquid comes into contact with the air, its color becomes darker and hardens instantly.

Finally, it turns into a brown lump.

"Huh~ I was almost buried in a tree."

Hughes breathed a sigh of relief.

He never expected that when he was halfway up the climb, the tree trunk suddenly began to shrink and narrow.

A large amount of green slime popped out inexplicably around, and then quickly became hard

In the end, when Hughes climbed the tree, he had to use his knowledge and arrogance to avoid those strange green liquids.

"This cherry blossom tree is really mysterious."

boom!
There was a loud noise in the cherry blossom tree, and the huge cherry tree began to shake.

Hughes stepped on a branch with a red knife in hand, jumped off the cherry blossom tree, and landed on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The ground began to shake, the smoke and dust were chaotic, and the cherry tree was tilted due to the collapse of the underground space.

Seeing this flash, Hughes left the mountain-like cherry blossom tree.

-

"Mother Gaya! You are looking at Sakuragami-sama again!"

An old man dressed plainly and with a kind face sat on a wooden chair in an open space, staring intently at the huge cherry tree in the distance.

The crimson cherry trees are especially beautiful under the reflection of the setting sun.

"Yes~"

"Ah! This year's Sakuragami-sama is even more magnificent than in previous years!

The visitor wiped the sweat from his forehead, "This year's Sakura God Festival will definitely be held even more grandly!"

"Oh~ woohoo! Yes~"

Granny Gaya replied with a smile.

"Ah? Aah!!!!"

The man's casual expression became shocked and puzzled for some reason, "Sakura, Sakuragami-sama?!!!"

The huge cherry blossom tree that was in full bloom suddenly began to tilt in front of his eyes.

With a slight tremor on the ground, the cherry blossom tree stopped its leaning body.

Granny Gaya looked at the scene in front of her calmly, with a look of nostalgia in her eyes, "Ah, are you going to leave, finally."

"Brother Gaya! What to do! What to do! How did Master Sakuragami become like this?"

When the man saw the cherry tree leaning, he was sweating profusely and turned around in place.

"Oh ho ho ~"

"Mother Gaya!"

Listening to Granny Gaya's indifferent laughter, the man's current emotions are really about to collapse.
