At this moment, Alka was holding some mud-caked items.
Seeing the arrival of the pirates, he didn't hesitate to throw the items on the ground.
"Run!"
Chadite, Julia, and Juanlu sprinted away without hesitation.
Watching the four of them flee, the pirates' instinctive reaction was to chase them; it was almost a reflex.
"Don't let them escape! They must have found something valuable!"
Some pirates couldn't wait and rushed out.
They were already impatient to seize those treasures.
The leader of the group, however, was positioned in the middle of the pack, not at the very front. He swiftly arrived at the pit. The limping old man who followed him tapped the mud clumps Alka had dropped with his cane.
With the tapping, the mud on the clumps fell away, revealing items clearly made of gemstones and precious metals inside—obviously valuable pieces.
Seeing these items, the old man's cloudy eyes suddenly became clear.
