Whoops!
The sea surface was broken and the ship moved forward quickly.
Even without unfurling the sails, the speed he ran out was astonishing.
There are many secrets contained in a treasure map. A specific symbol, a few mysterious poems, or a riddle are all very important clues, and may even be the key to finding the treasure.
There is also a lot of hidden information on the treasure map left by the Solo Pirates.
Among them, a few poems in the lower left corner, combined with the route, reveal an undiscovered ocean current.
Of course, it would be unfair to say that it has not been discovered yet, but at least... the Solo Pirate Group has successfully used it for their own purposes.
"The sea area we passed just now is full of deadly undercurrents, and passing ships have to avoid them... I didn't expect that using this ocean current, we could cross it without any damage."
Blackbeard couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.
Truly safe routes have been explored by generations of navigators with their lives.
For example, the golden route is the safest and fastest route currently explored.
A slight change requires a lot of effort and represents a huge loss of profits.
And this newly opened route actually found a way to safely cross the undercurrent sea with the help of ocean currents. If spread, it would definitely cause another uproar.
Because unexplored sea areas inevitably mean more opportunities, and of course, they are accompanied by dangers.
Of course, no navigator of this era would take this seriously.
The only thing that can attract them to fight with their lives is the splendor of the world and the amazing wealth!
"With the help of ocean currents, we can run faster than a steamship. At this speed, we can reach the treasure location in just a few days..."
Fang Yuan turned on the compass and confirmed the heading.
Immediately, he snapped his fingers: "Bill... pay attention to greeting guests!"
"clear!"
Several newly promoted marine warlocks also stood on the deck, working together to control the sea water.
Gulu! Gulu!
Among the large number of whirlpools and bubbles, a huge black shadow emerged. It was a huge sea monster similar to a whale.
It is made of blue crystal, like a towering mountain.
At this time, he let out a roar somewhere.
There, a sea monster appeared, but it didn't dare to compete with the huge blue whale and swam away, avoiding a minor trouble.
"The extraordinary being who controls the ocean..."
Blackbeard, who had seen this scene before, was not surprised, but looked at Fang Yuan with meaning.
There are naturally extraordinary beings among his men, but it is impossible to drive them like this.
Only Fang Yuan, who holds the key to promotion of extraordinary power and can train ordinary people into extraordinary beings at the lowest cost, is qualified to boss them around without caring.
After all, there are no harsh conditions for the promotion of Marine Warlock, some simple preparations are enough.
Even if the formula is leaked in the future, Fang Yuan will definitely have accumulated extremely terrifying strength.
This alone is enough to lay the foundation for a pirate governor.
Coupled with the other party's ability and ambition, future achievements are indeed limitless.
…
A few days later.
"arrive!"
Fang Yuan opened the monocular and looked at a large island on the sea, and couldn't help but speak slowly.
Upon hearing his words, the surrounding pirates immediately cheered.
"It is indeed the island recorded in Solo's treasure map!"
As he got closer, even Blackbeard and the other pirates could identify him.
Because this island is really weird.
There is a tall volcano on both sides of the east and west sides, like the two horns of a devil. Although it has not erupted yet, it gives people a very dangerous feeling.
"Finally here, Alcatraz!"
Fang Yuan put away the treasure map: "The treasure hiding place of the Solo pirates! It is also most likely the location of the Sun..."
Because there is no suitable port, the Red Lotus cannot approach the island, so it can only anchor far away on the sea and put down many lifeboats.
The pirates sang pirate songs, shook the wood pulp uniformly, and slowly moved towards the target.
On Alcatraz Island, many coconut trees are scattered randomly, and behind it is a tropical jungle.
"Let's go! Be careful!"
Fang Yuan opened the treasure map and pointed in the direction.
"No problem, such an island will contain at most some poisonous insects and beasts!"
The butcher stepped forward carelessly and used his huge machete to clear the way.
All the complicated and tangled vines and the grass with jagged barbs seemed to not exist in front of him.
He was like a tank opening a road, rushing forward and crushing a passage.
"Light the torch and be careful!"
After entering the forest, the light became darker and darker, and Fang Yuan's expression became serious.
"The area of this island is still large enough, almost equivalent to two or three counties in Insman..."
Seeing this scene, Blackbeard was thoughtful: "It should take us half a day to a day to reach our destination. Moreover, in this kind of place, there is enough food and clean water, which seems to be enough for some large animals..."
puff!
While Blackbeard spoke, Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Many thin arrows came and went without a trace, and they struck in front of the team in an instant.
The butcher groaned and inserted three or four long needles into his shoulders.
"Damn bastard!"
He roared, and the giant sword seemed to be flashing with blue light, and he slashed towards the dense forest on the left, forming a half-moon shape.
Wherever it passed, the vegetation was torn apart, several sneak attackers were cut in half, and blood and intestines flowed all over the ground.
After doing all this, the butcher's hill-like figure suddenly fell back.
This pirate, who was originally as strong as an ox and had recently been promoted to a transcendent, was knocked down by a few small blow darts.
"You...go and drive away the attackers!"
Fang Yuan stepped forward, opened the butcher's eyelids, and nodded: "He just fainted. It seems that he was hit by a high-strength anesthetic..."
In fact, even with a butcher's physique, if it were an ordinary person, he would probably die if he encountered this amount of anesthetic.
As the pirates howled and advanced, Fang Yuan also saw the true appearance of the attacker.
The dark skin, almost naked body, and the colorful paint on their faces made Fang Yuan know that these were the most common natives in the Golden Sea.
It is said that they have cruel and lazy habits. When facing prisoners, they will even skin and remove their bones, mix them with spices, and make a delicious meal.
And laziness means that in the tribe, they sometimes don't work for a day, because the climate here is so unique. Just throw in some seeds and you can grow a year's harvest. Even if you don't have these, you can go to the woods to pick them. You will definitely not starve to death if you eat fruit or spear fish in the sea!
Because of this kind of kind, even Blackbeard doesn't like this kind of native slave. Of course, the price is also very cheap.
As the largest slave trader in the Nightmare Sea, Blackbeard knows everything about these natives: "These natives believe that... after eating a companion, the soul of that companion will be with them! So in many native tribes, Cannibalism is not something shocking..."
"And their worship includes ancestors and heroic spirits. Of course, there are also some mysterious beings... Necromancers also like them very much. Therefore, in a large native tribe, the power structure is often very chaotic... Priests and warrior leaders, and If there is a leader, there will be disputes.”
"Generally speaking, the native tribes have a very strong sense of territory. If you step into their territory, you will automatically form a deadly enemy and become their prey!"
…
Blackbeard is indeed an expert at catching slaves.
Just by looking at the prisoners and their equipment, I estimated that the size of this native tribe must be more than a thousand people!
Such a group is already qualified to support a witch doctor or a priest. The witchcraft and venom of the former can help the native warriors hunt better, not to mention the sacrifice. If they can connect with a generous existence, it will be beneficial to the group. Words definitely have great benefits.
"A large group of more than a thousand people?!"
Fang Yuan was a little surprised after hearing this: "Solo Pirates, since they chose this place to bury their treasure, they must have cleaned up the island before, right?"
"But there is another possibility. These natives were deliberately left behind as guards, or... clues!"
Blackbeard smiled.
"This is quite..."
Fang Yuan stepped forward, his pupils seemed to be shining with light.
With the methods of these pirates, the native captives were naturally unable to resist. Soon, each of them had blurred eyes and babbled the truth.
However, Fang Yuan and his group are not very proficient in the native language.
If you think about it with your toes, you will know how strange the language used by these native tribes, who live on a deserted island and have not communicated with the outside world for hundreds or thousands of years, will develop
Fortunately, with Blackbeard here, I can finally understand some of the meaning without even guessing.
When they got to the back, Fang Yuan became impatient and grabbed a prisoner and asked them to take him to the tribe.
The tribe of these natives is located, in their words, called "Chikonunud", which translates to the place of miracles.
According to the unfortunate prisoner, the stone houses they lived in were once the residences of gods.
Fang Yuan and the others naturally sneered at this.
But when they actually saw the native tribe, they couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
Stepping out of the tropical rainforest, your horizons suddenly become wider.
What was displayed in front of Fang Yuan and the others was a huge and stretching building complex. The exquisite stone bricks together formed a palace with a distinctive style and exquisite details. Even the roads were paved with stone slabs.
At the moment they saw this scene, all the pirates could be sure that this was definitely not a building that could be built by indigenous civilization!
