On the third day of leaving Lisbon, it was as if they had suddenly entered another region, and the climate gradually became hotter, which meant that they had arrived in North Africa from Europe. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This morning, Casablanca was very close, and there was less than a day to go.

Zheng Fei began to pace on the deck, unable to sit still, because there was a strange feeling surging in his heart, and he couldn't explain it.

"Captain. Mona ran out of the cabin, holding the stack of Brad's diaries in her arms, panting: "We are going in the wrong direction, we should go west." ”

"To the west?" Zheng Fei frowned and looked west, which was the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.

"But the direction you said was here, why has it changed again?" he asked.

"It's not too far, I can feel getting closer and closer to the person you're looking for. Mona hugged the journal tighter, pursed her lips and nodded confidently.

"Okay. Seeing her somewhat aggrieved appearance, Zheng Fei smiled at her, and then shouted loudly: "Santiago, turn around!"

......

The sea is calm, and the sky is occasionally swept by a few seabirds, which soar freely, bringing distant blessings to those who sail.

Wow, I actually ran into a group of pirates, it was a few small pirate ships, probably out to look for prey during the day.

Faced with such a formidable opponent, the pirates had no choice but to disguise themselves as fishermen, put away the only cannon on the ship, and pretend to pick up nets to catch fish.

Long before they disguised, Zheng Fei had found out their identities through the telescope, and the corners of his mouth were curled, pretending not to see them.

After all, this group of pirate brothers is not easy, so don't bully others.

"That's it!" Mona exclaimed, pointing to a patch of green in the distance.

It was a small island, lush.

"Raise the sails and go full speed!" Zheng Fei ordered, holding the telescope in his hand tightly.

It's a real island, very small in size, and it's no exaggeration to say it's not as big as Lisbon.

From afar, it looks like an emerald set in a blue ribbon, exuding an even more mysterious brilliance in the mysterious Atlantic hinterland.

With such a small island, it was difficult for more than 2,000 large ships to find a place to dock, so Zheng Fei only selected a group of elite soldiers to follow, and the rest of the ships were moored in the nearby sea, waiting to be summoned at any time.

Ashore.

The cascading tide crashes against the white sand, making an empty sound, accompanied by the long chirping of seabirds, which can form a beautiful melody.

Although the island is small, it is extremely rich in biological diversity, and it is incredible that the island has cattle and sheep, meekly hanging their heads on the grass in search of delicious grass, and I really don't know who brought them from the mainland.

A few piles of charred wood suggest that the place was indeed inhabited, or at least once inhabited.

"Monna, in which direction?" Standing on the hillside, Zheng Fei raised his head and looked at this unknown area.

"Keep moving forward. Mona bit her index finger slightly, her gaze lingering on the front, as if she was thinking, as if she was trying to search for the faint sense of perception.

Zheng Fei nodded and beckoned to Santiago: "Release two hot air balloons." ”

Although the island is not large, it will take some effort to complete the survey, first, Zheng Fei does not want to waste unnecessary time, and second, he is worried that the large-scale search will alarm the people on the island, which is not conducive to Brad's safety.

The huge hot air balloon soars into the air and slowly rises to a height of several hundred meters, and with a telescope, you can see the entire island in full view.

Soon, the spotter on the hot air balloon spotted signs of activity in the southwest, where wisps of green smoke were rising from the jungle, presumably cooking on a fire.

Without hesitation, Zheng Fei and the others headed towards the jungle, and the distance was only two or three thousand meters.

Outside the jungle stood a few sentinels, dressed in the skins of the natives, but in their hands they were holding sharp scimitars, with fluffy beards, fierce eyes and strong bodies, and at first glance they looked like horse bandits.

The identities of these men are unknown, but one day it will be certain that they are not the natives of the island, otherwise how could they have crossed the ocean to England, thousands of miles away, to tie Brad back?

But it's strange to think about it, why did they go so far to kidnap Brad? Could it be that Brad once killed their boss?

These mysteries can only be solved if Brad is found.

In order to deal with the sentinels without alarming the enemies in the jungle, the native Indians used their best blow arrows, and the arrows were dipped in deadly poison, almost instantly, causing the opponent to lose consciousness and fall to the ground and convulse.

After that, the natives who have been wandering the jungle all year round have been the pioneers of the way.

A few minutes later, they came to the edge of a basin and hid behind the bushes and looked down, revealing a spectacular sight.

Under the sun, thousands of people prayed.

The narrow basin was densely packed with tens of thousands of people, who fell on their knees and prostrated reverently, muttering something similar to the scriptures, and the noisy buzzing sound sounded like a swarm of flies.

They were the most faithful of believers, and not a single person looked up during the whole prayer process, and at the very end of the prayer phalanx was a huge burning fire, roasting an unskinned bison, certainly not for food.

That's where the green smoke comes from.

Seeing this scene in front of them, except for the Spartan warriors who were carried out by their faith, they could understand, and the rest of the people were amazed.

"They... What are you reading?" said Santiago, his eyes straightened.

"Dar Beida is the art of grief and repeats this phrase all the time. Mona frowned.

"Can you understand?"

"Yes, I am a person who can perceive the world, in the silence of the night I close my eyes, I can see the scenes of the world, hear the languages spoken by people, many people say that it is simply a fantasy, but only I know that it is true. ”

couldn't help it, Zheng Fei curled the corners of his mouth and raised his eyebrows.

He was thinking: It seems that I have crossed into a non-scientific world, which is kind of interesting.

"Is Brad among these people?" he asked.

"No, he's not here. Mona shook her head and turned to look at the jungle on the left side of the basin, "Over there." ”

Zheng Fei looked at the spectacular scene of thousands of people praying again, and went to look for Brad.

There was a clearing in the jungle, and a stone hut stood alone, unguarded outside, probably all praying.

Two Spartan warriors slammed the door open, Zheng Fei stepped in, and saw...

The hairs on his body stood on end, and he couldn't help but shiver and gasp.
