Internal Strife!
A brutal slaughter unfolded within the golden apple orchard, indeed stemming from within the same treasure-hunting team.
The strength of this team was clearly not weak.
Even without knowing the load limit one could carry—equal to one's body weight—they still scorned the silver coins found all along the roadside, unwilling to return home for such trifles.
But when they arrived at this golden apple orchard, disagreements unsurprisingly emerged.
Some were satisfied with the golden apples that filled the garden and were unwilling to take further risks and press on.
Others advocated for continuing towards the island's center to search for the great pirate Flint's hidden treasure cave.
In particular, many in the team whom Byron had cursed as "living dead" lacked any desire; they were uninterested in gold and silver treasure, fine wine, gourmet food, or beauties.
Aztec's Cursed Coins were their sole objective.
