Chapter 158 Pirate's Den or Ruins?

The entire Smuggler Bay is surrounded by rock walls. If you want to enter the bay, you can only take a boat to pass through the narrow strait in the east or wind down the path at the top of the cliff. Fang Yi and Taylor are at the latter position at this time.

The sky was completely dark. Fang Yi followed Taylor and groped down the path winding down the rock wall. The stone steps were only two feet wide, with uneven rock walls on one side and a cliff several hundred feet high on the other side.

Fang Yi took advantage of the faint moonlight to look down. The light ring on the pier was dim and lit. It was as far away as a lonely star in the sky. The black sea water was like a large ball of oil surging constantly, making people feel a deep sense of oppression. Fang Yi leaned back, shook his confused head, took a deep breath, and kept cheering himself up: I am not afraid of heights, nor water, nor highs...

"Cube, keep up," Taylor noticed the thief behind him stopped and quickly turned around and waved to Fang Yi, "Follow closely, there are guards in front, don't be too far away from me!"

Fang Yi supported the rock wall with his hands, breathed a few breaths, and then took another step when the dizzy feeling passed. He thought to himself, he was calm, the strong wind and waves were coming, so he couldn't give his first time here.

Although the path was steep, fortunately, as it went downward, the sea breeze blowing across the cliff became smaller and smaller. Fang Yi and Taylor took more than half an hour and encountered two secret whistles in the middle of the journey. Finally, they successfully completed the cliff path. Fang Yi stepped onto the ground and his heart was hanging down: Why didn’t he feel so comfortable walking on the ground before?

Before, I couldn't see the ground clearly on it, but now I'm observing the buildings on the ground up close. Fang Yi quickly felt a little confused.

"Taylor, are these built by you smugglers themselves?" Fang Yi walked through the big and small stone forts on the shore like a flower. Looking at the stone forts built along the mountains in front of him, made of huge rocks, and asked Taylor.

"Of course not," Taylor laughed and followed Fang Yi's gaze to the buildings at the bottom of the cliff. "If we had this strength, we would have challenged directly with Ximen Port and the pirates on the Pirate Islands. How could we do this to be so sneaky~"

"So this is what someone built this place before? Can you tell me about it?" Fang Yi's curiosity suddenly aroused. He would never design such a hidden place for no reason in the game. Since it was not built by these smugglers, it might be a place with its own history, referred to as a ruin.

"You adventurers are always interested in these things, so don't worry. Let's find a place to rest~"

As he spoke, Taylor and Fang Yi had already arrived near a pier. Fang Yi observed the surrounding terrain with the light of the torch, which should be the small pier I saw on the cliff. Taylor took Fang Yi straight by the pier and came to a brightly lit two-story building on the shore.

This is the first popular building Fang Yi saw after he came down. It seemed to be a place like a tavern or a hotel. The embroidered iron bars above the door were wearing a wooden sign, which was whistled by the breeze, and a few crooked words were written on it - Smuggler's Tavern.

Taylor pushed open the door directly, and a huge wave of sound suddenly came to his face. The lively level in the tavern far exceeded Fang Yi's imagination, and formed a strong contrast with the quiet bay outside.

The majority of people dressed up by sailors in the room were drinking, chatting, fighting, and drunken people who lie on the floor and sleep soundly and feel like they were stepped on. The chaotic and familiar scene in front of them reminded Fang Yi of the taverns in Kalin Port that he had been to. It was really similar~

Taylor went straight to the bar and threw a drunk sailor to the ground. He hugged another big guy who was sleeping on the ground. Fang Yi smiled helplessly and quickly sat on it before another drunkard fell on the seat.

"Two bottles of rum!" Taylor shouted loudly at the busy waitress on the other side, and then smiled at Fang Yi next to him: "How is it? This place is much more lively than the tavern in Swordfish Village, right?"

Fang Yi nodded with a smile. After walking into the tavern, Taylor's face kept smiling, obviously he enjoyed the atmosphere here. Perhaps sailors who have been wandering on the sea all year round will like this rare relaxation and lively atmosphere~

"The only building we smugglers built ourselves in the entire Bay is this tavern," Taylor patted the surface of the bar that had been polished and visible, revealing a look of nostalgia. "This table was made of the oak tree that I cut with Abby."

"So, you have those stone forts and this pier when you got here?" Fang Yi felt a little moved when he heard Taylor's words, "How long ago did that happen?"

"Yes, that's something that already exists here. It was about thirteen or four years ago," Taylor scratched his head and thought for a while, a little uncertain. "I remember there was heavy fog on the sea at that time. We were chased by several merchant ships in Ximen Port for a long time. At that time, there were only a dozen people on our ship, and there were about one hundred sailors on the other side, and there were only one dead end when they were caught up."

Taylor took the two bottles of rum brought by the waitress and filled them with both himself and Fang Yi. He was impatient to have a drink first, showing a satisfied expression, "We were desperate. When we saw a narrow waterway in front of us, we drove in and found this place."

"This small pier, and these stone forts, and the path we came down, had already been here more than ten years ago when we first came here, but it was obvious that no one had been here for a long time, and the wood on the pier pier was rotten. It was the one we repaired later."

Fang Yi's eyes shone brightly when he heard this. While sighing at Taylor and his friends' good luck back then, he was considering the history of this smuggler's house: building a dock in such a place and building so many stone castles with such obvious defenses. How can it look like the pirates do? Is this the old nest of ancient pirates?

Seeing Fang Yi's expression, Taylor immediately guessed what Fang Yi was thinking and smiled, "Stop thinking about it, block. I know you adventurers are interested in adventure, but we have found that it has been more than ten years since we turned it upside down. Except for the fishman cave in the southwest corner, the rest of the places are full of rotten stones. Think about the days when we were slitting stones around here, it was really..."

Hearing this, Fang Yi's thoughts immediately came to life. He quickly poked Taylor who was pouring rum with his arm, "Hey~ Taylor, do you know when our ship will arrive?"

"...I don't know very well. I arrived at a boat yesterday morning. The sailors above said that there seemed to be a storm on the sea north of Xingmu City. Judging from the rain yesterday, it would take a day's time. If it's too late, I will have to get here tomorrow afternoon."

"Oh~" Fang Yi looked at the dark night outside and said to Taylor, "I want to walk around, how about we still meet here tomorrow?"

Taylor had a wine glass and a bottle in one hand, and obviously had a state of drinking. After thinking about it, he said, "Okay, be careful. But with your skills, you might be able to enter that fishman's nest~"

Yesterday, Fang Yi showed his might at the Swordfish Village Wharf, which almost attracted the NPCs and players of the entire Swordfish Village. The well-informed Taylor was no exception. Seeing Taylor raise his glass to him, Fang Yi smiled modestly, and two large wooden cups filled with rum collided with a "bang".

***

An hour later, Fang Yi walked out of the smuggler's tavern staggeringly.

These people are really... enthusiastic~ Fang Yi thought of the situation in the tavern just now, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Just now, Taylor was happy and introduced his daughter, Mia's savior, to the sailors in the tavern. Before Fang Yi could react, he was surrounded by a group of strong men, pouring all kinds of ale, rum, etc. into the wine glass in Fang Yi's hand like money.

In other words, the drunk simulation in the game has time limits, otherwise he would have to sleep until tomorrow night. Fang Yi shook his head, which was a little dizzy, thought so.

There was only the sound of waves hitting the rocks in the quiet smugglers' bay, and even the most common seagulls returned to their nests to rest. Fang Yi hid his body under his cloak, observing the surroundings while gradually moving away from the still noisy and lively tavern.

Since this unspeakable place has been turned upside down by Taylor and his group, there is no need to waste time searching a large area. Fang Yi took advantage of the faint moonlight and walked through the messy reefs and the beach between the rocks and the rocks and went directly to the southwest corner of the bay.

Fishmen are distributed in various regions of the Feren continent, from the tenth-level Shahua fishmen to the legendary mutant fishmen powerful. These creatures have been flooding the land from the water systems of the Feren continent with unknown purposes, causing considerable trouble to the residents near the sea - and also bringing players a lot of experience.

Therefore, players like Fang Yi are not unfamiliar with fishmen. All fishmen have enhanced dark vision, and their field of view at night is almost more than 100 feet, so after vaguely seeing the hole under the rock wall, Fang Yi cautiously entered a stealth state.

Fang Yi stopped at the entrance of the cave, grabbed a handful of soil on the ground, and twisted it with his fingers - sand mixed with mud, which was in line with the habits of fishmen, but... where are the soldiers who were keeping watch?

After lit a torch, Fang Yi listened to the inside of the hole, making sure there was no sound inside, so he slowly touched the depths of the cave. After walking for nearly a minute, he did not see the fishman.

Until he walked around a huge rock in the cave, the light of the torch shone on the black and broken things in the gap between the cave walls. Fang Yi walked in carefully and frowned and silently pulled out the dagger from his waist.
