Chapter 142

On the island, the white sand, the green peaks, the coconut palms swaying in the wind, and the unknown fruit species that sparkle among the greenery, and the wind blowing through the sea make people feel that this is really a paradise on earth. And this place has fresh water! The spring water that flows down from the highest mountain here is still slightly salty and warm, but it is still fresh water to drink.

After wandering around the island for about ten minutes, Tong Guan had to admit that maybe there was really a problem with the chart, and there might really be an island that had not been discovered. "Well, we've found an island. Regardless of its name, let's rest on the island first. Since Tong Guan had not caught the fat sheep for a long time, he did not dare to persecute his pirates too much, so he gave the order to rest on the island for two or three days. Well, the pirates are all happy - there are islands and fresh water, and then there will probably be fat sheep too.

The pirates also found animals on the island, but unfortunately they were all birds, of course there were many eggs, and they brought food from the ship, ate and drank on the island, and lived a happy day. Tong Guan stepped over the drunken pirates lying on the ground, and walked to Nanbo Wan and Gao Yu, and the leaders of the three ships finally put their minds at ease - some time ago they were worried about whether their pirates would rebel and tie them to the bottom of the boat - after all, the pirates who have never been able to grab the fat sheep always have a choice to drag the captain to the bottom of the boat, and then drive the boat away and sell it for everyone's money, isn't it.

The three men touched a glass - they had real wine, not the bad spirits that the sailors drank. Then Gao Yu casually looked at the sky, then he wiped his eyes, looked at the sky again, jumped up, smashed the cup in his hand, turned around and ran in the direction of the boat. Tong Guan was a little confused, "Have you drunk too much?" So he also glanced at the sky, and then the guy touched his head and thought hard, then looked at it several times, and then jumped up and ran in the direction of the boat.

Nan Bowan didn't understand these two guys at all, he looked at their backs in confusion, "What's wrong?"

The two fellows climbed into the boat, took out the sextant from the cabin, and began to look at the stars with trembling hands as if they had drunk too much. It wasn't long before both men began to pick up their pencils and begin to calculate, and then found the chart, their hands still shaking and searching for it. "Shift..... Moved three hundred nautical miles. Three hundred nautical miles south from where we had landed on the island!" Gao Yu's voice dried up as if he hadn't drunk water for decades.

"It's an island that moves...... No wonder we couldn't find it on the charts before. Tong Guan responded, but this guy immediately became excited again, "Will this be our chance? Make this a secret base and hide our treasures! It's really exciting to think about it!" Then the matter comes, in this case, it is necessary to record the route for a period of time, at least to find out the movement of this island, and if this island has no laws at all, then at least before the matter is irreparable, you must leave and return to the fairway. After all, they haven't found a fat sheep yet.

So Gao Yu was left on the ship, and a third of the sailors began to maintain the ship and replenish the fresh water. Tong Guan and Nan Bovan began to explore the island with the rest of the pirates. Their first target was the only mountain on the island, perhaps more than 300 meters high, according to measurements. Beneath the peaks is a dense tropical jungle that resembles a swamp due to the scattered fresh water that flows down from the peaks. It's just that it's not deep, and it's generally half a person deep. The pirates suffered at first, but then they cut down the trees, set up small rafts, and pushed them with long poles on the water, and the speed of their movement suddenly increased.

Tong Guan found that the terrain of the island was quite flat except for the peaks in front of him—he tested the water depth with a long pole at several different locations, and found that there was not much difference in the depth of the water in each place, so it can be said that the terrain was quite gentle and level. That's not what an island should be. It seemed like something was wrong with it, but he kept it to his heart, urging the pirates to keep going.

In fact, the pirates also sensed the unusual atmosphere, and their actions became more cautious - this is a mysterious sea, and since the "cataclysm", there have been many mysterious legends. I heard that in the past, humans had warships that could fly in the sky, and they were the masters of the sea at that time. But now, there are only a handful of these warships that can fly, and almost all of them are treasured by the great powers, and they can only be seen at various extremely important ceremonies. Fortunately, some of the individual weapons have not been lost - at least humans can still use repeating paper shells with a rather elaborate turning structure to order shotguns. That's why they're still exploring here.

Finally approaching the peak, the mountain is a fairly symmetrical, low, cone-shaped mountain, which is usually volcanic, but when viewed from the coast, this summit does look like a volcano. When he stepped on the mountain, the sharp-eyed Deng Bojun found a small yellow stone on the ground, this guy squatted down to wipe it like a ghost, and then picked it on both sides a few times, and then he made a sound like a chicken was pinched by the neck. "Gold, gold!"

In this era, in the old world of mankind, gold was still a precious metal. His voice immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone gathered around, watching Deng Bojun pick up the dust next to him little by little, and finally the volume of this piece of gold was almost larger than a human fist. Tong Guan straightened up, he was a little more knowledgeable, after all, he quickly woke up from this frenzied excitement, but when he looked around, he also let out a brief exclamation.

The sailors heard the exclamation of their captain, and looked around one by one, and then they saw one, two, three, a dozen of these yellow dots. The sailors ran away in a frenzy and began to dig for gold, but Tong Guan did not stop - because he was digging it himself. After digging up more than 20 pieces of gold in their sight, the smirking sailors listened to the order of Tong Guan, who had dug up the gold the size of a human head, carved their names with knives on each piece of gold, and then put them together, examined each other, and then climbed towards the mountain.
