That small piece of cloth seemed useless, but a meticulous person would be able to see many suspicious points. What was the use of a headscarf? Of course it was wrapped around the head. To the charming Jack Sparrow, it was a seductive weapon. Most pirates used it to keep their heads warm and to block the wind and rain. There weren't any corpses in the vicinity of the headscarf, indicating that it was taken down by the original owner. From the cut of the headscarf, it could be seen that it was torn apart and not cut by a sharp weapon. Let's imagine this scene in our minds, a pirate came here, leaning against a tree and tore off the headscarf on his head, what did he want to do? — — Obviously, headscarves were the least likely to be dirtied, therefore the most logical explanation would be – to bandage his wounds!
If this conjecture was correct, Sheyan would be able to deduce more information. If the owner of the headscarf, Old Buqi, had bandaged his wounds and fled back to the Bell and Mug, then he should have met them long ago. This meant that Old Buqi did not intend to return to the ship. There were many possibilities that could lead to such a situation, but it could only be the following.
The biggest possibility was that Old Buqi had obtained some huge benefits, but was not willing to take it out, so he fled. He obviously knew that doing so would attract the attention of everyone on the Bell and Mug. Therefore, it was either the value of this item was too great for him, or the threat of the Bell and Mug had been weakened to an acceptable level. Furthermore, Old Buqi's abilities were extremely mediocre, and the probability of him obtaining any rare treasures was extremely low. Therefore, the second explanation was the most reasonable, and that was the party led by Xiaer and Blind Matt had suffered an extremely heavy blow. So much so that the hearts of the pirates who knew the inside story were scattered, and they had the despicable thought of fleeing after looting.
Of course there was another possibility, that Old Buqi had encountered something terrifying in the castle, and after surviving the calamity, he had completely lost his rationality, running around to vent the fear in his heart. But for a person who had lost his rationality to stop and bandage his wounds, it was somewhat contradictory, but it could still be explained by instinct.
No matter what the outcome was, Tortuga castle was definitely a tiger's den, with danger at every step. The reason why Sheyan dared to take the lead in was because he understood one thing. A good hunter would definitely wait for his prey to take the bait before casting his net. They wouldn't act rashly and alert the enemy just because a prey had entered their net. When he saw the 'coincidentally' discovered secret passage, he immediately realized that it was a trap. The person who set the trap had cleverly used the greed and competitive mentality of the pirates to trick them into entering. If it wasn't for the fact that such riches weren't of much value to a contestant like Sheyan, he might have been blinded by such immense benefits.
At this moment, within Tortuga castle, there were sounds of cursing, screams and gunshots. However, these sounds were somewhat muffled, as if they were coming from a sealed space. Then, fiery light flashed all over the castle. Faint silhouettes shuttled through the corridors of the castle like demonic spirits. They made people feel that they were extremely mysterious and hard to identify. Looks like Sheyan's deduction wasn't wrong, the current Tortuga castle guards were indeed lacking in manpower. But under Sheyan's purposeful arrangement, the pirates were divided into 6 small teams. This undoubtedly gave the guards the opportunity to trap them, and then divide them up and annihilate them!
Sheyan's painstaking arrangement, was actually to weaken both sides of the battle. Although Tortuga castle's defenders were strong and had the geographical advantage, but they had already taken turns to deal with Xiaer's group and several other groups. Now that they had to battle with the elite pirates from the Bell and Mug, even if they won, it would be a pyrrhic victory. All the traps and mechanisms within the castle should have been destroyed by their flesh and blood bodies!
At this moment, if Sheyan took advantage of the situation to enter, the worst case scenario would be killing a few heavily injured guards and snatching their dropped keys before retreating. But the best case scenario would be to obtain the 70 years worth of riches accumulated in Tortuga castle! Although he was unable to bring away all these riches, but if he could pick a few items, he would definitely earn a lot and gain a huge reputation. This way, compared to being a suspicious crew head under Ammand, wouldn't it be much more beneficial?
Time flew by, Sheyan waited for a while before tidying up his appearance. He cut a sorry figure, and even smeared some blood on his face. Coupled with his staggering footsteps and gloomy eyes, if he said he was about to faint, people would believe him. He once again entered Tortuga castle, and tiptoed towards the place where the battle cries came from.
The dark castle was filled with a dense gloominess, and the stench of blood in the air was especially pungent. This time, Sheyan did not climb up the stairs, but instead headed towards the dark right corridor. His reason for doing so was simple, because the legendary treasures were mostly hidden in the castle's underground secret chamber. At this moment, Sheyan had already equipped his' Drunkard 'title, and gulped down a mouthful of wine to raise his explosive strike rate. At the same time, because he was on guard against any possible traps, every step he took was extremely stable, and every step he took was exceptionally light.
In the darkness ahead, a flickering flame suddenly appeared. Following that was cursing and mournful screams. Sheyan was extremely clear about the screams, it belonged to one of Scarface Harry's trusted aides. Usually, he looked like a tough guy who would not even frown when he was stabbed, but who knew what he encountered that caused him to scream so miserably. Following that, the screams gradually weakened, obviously the person who was tortured was nearing the end of his life. Another voice trembled as he called out.
"Don't, don't come over! You bunch of monsters! Oh heavens, oh heavens, I beg you to open your eyes. If anyone can rescue me from the depths of hell, I am willing to give up everything and be his loyal servant! "
Sheyan had already groped his way to the entrance, but when he peeked inside, he could see a secret passageway within the castle room. The passageway was dyed with dripping blood, and the blood was splattered everywhere. It felt as though someone was violently splashing basins of blood everywhere. One could tell how tragic the previous battle was. At the end of the passageway, there was a flame emitting out, one could see that it was an extremely sturdy secret chamber, the surrounding walls were piled up with huge rocks, looking as solid as a city wall.
In the secret chamber, there were 3 men wearing black chainmail, the chainmail on their bodies was extremely exquisite in terms of craftsmanship and material. In this world, this type of clothing was probably comparable to the highest grade bulletproof vests worn by the American special forces. The 3 men had their backs facing the door, silently standing there. Their shadows were elongated by the dancing flames, their skin had a sickly paleness, causing the atmosphere inside to become even more sinister.
From Sheyan's angle, he could see a pirate tied to a stone stool on the right. Although he couldn't see his face, he knew this pirate was terrified to the extreme, his entire body was trembling violently. A stone platform could be seen between the backs of the three men in black chainmail. There should be a victim tied up on the stone platform. The exposed limbs were twitching for the last time, and it was obvious that the victim was done for. Moreover, his miserable state had crushed the mental defenses of the other captive.
Sheyan deeply breathed in the air filled with the stench of blood. He then activated his' insight 'ability, and started probing the strength of these 3 men. If he had to take on too much risk, then he would immediately withdraw without hesitation! Right now to him, saving people was just a side action, the most important thing was to preserve his strength and obtain the treasures of the castle.
Following the deduction of 100 utility points, the information of the 3 males flowed out like flowing water, presenting itself before Sheyan's eyes.

Sheyan looked at the 3 injured men, after weighing the pros and cons, he made a decision in his heart. He shut his eyes and started to regulate his breathing, his muscles started to relax, then tighten and relax again. He already had a plan in his heart, he was determined to get rid of these 3 fellows and save them. At this moment, a black guard suddenly spoke out.
