"Erm... Castor, you good...?" Jalen asked. He stared at Castor in shocked eyes and gulped, he suddenly realized that the little boy might be the strongest here.

  "Ah? Yes... I feel good." Castor replied lightly. His black eyes, dripping with black blood, gazed at him coldly.

  Rahhh!!!

  The last giant warrior standing was the one-eyed giant warrior. It roared, raised its sword, and swung at Castor.

  "Castor!! Run!!" Captain Raigh used his last power to yell and passed out at the next moment.

  Hwooosh?

  Bong!

  The sword fell on the body of another giant warrior, it collapsed in an instant. Its armor shattered and vanished in the air, and all the flowers flew up and covered everyone's vision. The flowers fall slowly with fragrance.

  When the giant warrior raised his sword, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because there was no body of Castor at the spot, but a glowing diamond-shaped orange crystal. This orange crystal slowly floated into the groove of the stone door at the exit and then perfectly embedded itself there.

  There is a similar groove next to the orange crystal. It seems that if another crystal is inserted into the groove, the stone door can be opened.

  Castor, who was far away, also discovered the existence of the orange crystal, but the current situation did not allow him to be distracted because the giant warrior turned its head and locked onto him.

  Then the giant warrior took a pose and took a step, appearing in front of Castor in an instant. The one eye burned with anger and glared at the boy with black blood on his face, then swung the sword mercilessly.

  "How did it become so fast?" Castor widened his eyes and asked in his mind. Without any hesitation, he immediately rushed to the giant warrior's crotch to avoid the attack and slashed its left foot.

  Rahhh!

  The giant warrior's left foot instantly turned into a strange flower, and it immediately fell down after losing its support. Then it turned around and reached out in the direction where Castor rushed, trying to catch him, but found that he was far away on the opposite wall.

  "Die." Castor whispered coldly, stamped on the wall as a platform, and quickly dashed towards the fallen giant warrior.

  After swinging the cutlass, the giant warrior's head was separated, and the anger of the single eye was extinguished as the flower bloomed. The next moment, the armor began to shatter and vanish in the air, and another diamond-shaped orange crystal appeared.

  Everyone watched quietly as the orange crystal flew towards the stone door and slowly embedded itself into the groove. As the two orange crystals entered the groove, they lit up with a stronger light, and an orange force drew strange runes on the stone door and then dimmed.

  With a heavy friction sound, the stone door with two dim orange crystals slowly descended. The stone door opened.

  "Woohoo! Castor! You did it!" Jalen cheered loudly with all the pirates, his voice echoed in the area, and he ran towards him.

  "That's why Captain Raigh can run so fast at that time, this cutlass can enhance the holder's speed." Castor said in his mind. He didn't hear the pirates' voice but felt dizzy and in pain.

  "...Not good." His body began to shake, and the dizziness and pain were growing heavier in his head, "Oh... yeah... I'm still bleeding... that's... why..."

  Castor's voice became weaker and weaker, his vision became blurrier, and his body lost strength. He turned to look at the pirates, and just as he was about to speak and then saw the floor flying towards him.

  This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

  Bong.

  He fainted.

  "Castor!!!" Jalen shouted. He immediately picked up Castor and checked if he was still breathing or not.

  Fortunately, Castor was still breathing, which meant he was still alive. However, the black blood almost covered his entire face, emitting a strong bloody smell.

  "Dang it, we don't have a medic here." Mark said and put down Captain Raigh on the floor.

  "Let's put him on the floor first." Bob said, and Castor from Jalen put it down.

  "Erm, well, our captain is down, and this strong little boy is also down." Frank said with a rough voice, "Do we bring them and go to the next area, or do we wait here?"

  "Of course, we wait." Mark replied instantly, "Who knows if the next area was more dangerous, more deadly than this? We are too weak to protect them."

  "Tsk, we're also strong." Jalen clicked his tongue and said dissatisfiedly.

  "...Ugh, you're just running with others, only me, my team, and this little boy did damage to the stone giants." Bob sighed and rolled his eyes.

  "Our captain did the damage too." Jalen looked at Bob, "Didn't he slash a stone giant?"

  "It did nothing to them..." Mark shook his head, "Let's just wait here until they wake up..."

  Everyone listened to the deputy captain's order and sat down to wait quietly. The situation was awkward. No one had medical skills and no bandages, so nothing could be done.

  Jalen then lifted Castor over to him and used his sleeve to wipe the black blood off his face, "We should do something. He is our savior. We can't just let him lie here, right?"

  "Fine." Mark said, and removed his white polo.

  He walked towards Captain Raigh and removed the captain's clothes, and then wiped the blood. Finally, Mark used his polo as a bandage to wrap around Captain Raigh's wound and tied a knot.

  "Um...I'll take some people out to take a look." Bob rose and said to Mark, "Every stone door has shape, right? The first one has a flower with a lake, the second has two warriors, so let me see what the pattern is on the third door."

  "Let me go with you." Frank also rose up, "I can't do anything here."

  "...Be careful, don't get too close to the door, it will open." Mark hesitated for a moment and nodded, accepted Bob's request.

  "Understood." Bob replied shortly and started gathering some people to go.

  Soon, Bob, Frank, and some pirates went to examine the pattern on the stone door in another area to guess the next trial. Some pirates stayed back with Jalen to rest.

  At this moment, Mark's eyes were fixed on Castor. The black blood on the boy's face and clothes, and the messy hair attracted him. He knew that he was not gay, and Castor only attracted his curiosity.

  He was so curious that Castor found a solution in the first trial in a short time, and even burst out with great strength just now. The more he thought about it, the more magical it seemed, even to the point of being weird. It seemed like this little boy always knew what to do.

  "Hey! Mark, are you gay? Why did you look at Castor like this?" Jalen teased and walked towards him.

  "Agh! Shut up! I'm not gay, I'm just curious..." Mark coughed lightly but still gazed at Castor and even leaned closer.

  "Hey! Hey! Hey! Stop there right now! I won't allow you to violate this cute little boy!" Jalen startled and tried to stop him from leaning closer, "Chill! He is the captain's son! He will kill you if he wakes up!"

  "I said I'm not gay! I'm just curious!" Mark shouted, his voice was loud, and all the pirates heard it.

  At this time, all the pirates turned their heads towards them, with doubts and shock in their eyes. Mark, who was being watched by everyone, became embarrassed. He tried to deny it, but it only seemed to increase suspicion.

  "It's fine... I didn't say gay is bad, but Castor is just a little boy, and he is also the son of the captain." Jalen explained and smiled, "So when we go back to the land, we will find a good man for ya!"

  Hearing Jalen's words, Mark's veins popped up instantly, and he just wanted to tear the bastard in front of him to pieces, "SHUT THE F-"

  "Ahh~" A yawning voice came behind Mark.

  When Mark turned around, he saw Castor, who had already woken up. He sat up and stretched. Then Castor turned around and looked at Mark and Jalen.

  "W-what are you guys... doing...?" Castor asked with a frown.

  Now he felt that his understanding of Mark and Jalen had been refreshed. He had just defeated two giant warriors and fainted. When he woke up, he saw topless Mark and Jalen hugging each other. Mark's hand even rested on Jalen's face, which seemed very intimate.

  "I-I'm sorry." Castor seemed to realize something and turned his head in the other direction quickly.

  "Ugh, Castor, it's ok, you don't need to say sorry. Listen, this is not what you think..." Jalen pushed Mark away and tried to explain.

  "It's ok... I understand..." Castor said and then whispered in his mind, "I thought a man would only kiss a girl..."

  "No.. listen, Castor, you don't understand anything, let me explain..." Mark said anxiously, but Castor ignored it, he had lost in his mind.

  "Hmm... maybe I should tell this to Captain Raigh? Then we will help them to get married... they can have a happy life... Wait a second, from their act, they seemed to be hiding it, so maybe I shouldn't tell Captain Raigh." Castor gazed at the floor and thought in mind.

  "We're done..." Mark covered his face with his hands.

  "My life of fame~" Jalen knelt on the ground, his hands trembling slightly, "All is your fault! Mark! Ahhh!!"
