Chapter 706: Mysterious Legends
So the three of them untied the lifeboat on the side of the ship, released it into the sea, jumped onto the lifeboat together, started the motor, and chased in the direction where the three-masted sailboat had disappeared. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ye Tian said suspiciously while driving the lifeboat; "Why didn't this ghost ship head out to sea, but toward the other side of the island? Could it be that their lair is there? ”
Liu Debang bent down and put his hand into the sea, and after a while, said: "The current here is around this island, and they are following the current, and the direction is the other side of the island, and I guess their nest is there." ”
John frowned, "Do you believe in ghost ships and ghosts?" I've seen it with my own eyes, but I still can't believe it's true. ”
Ye Tian also said: "Yes, I can't believe it's true, but if they are human, the martial arts of the woman in white are inevitably too high, and it is difficult to explain, so if you don't believe it, you have to believe it, this time it can be regarded as an increase in knowledge." ”
Liu Dezhu said incomprehensibly: "As for whether it is a ghost or not, let's catch up and take a closer look?" Anyway, it's something you haven't seen at all, hehe. ”
Ye Tian's heart moved, and he asked, "Do you know what they are?" ”
Liu Destick thought for a while, didn't answer, just kept silent, as if thinking about something.
The three of them fell silent all at once, and no one spoke again, but continued to follow the trail of the three-masted galleon.
Fortunately, this lifeboat has a high-powered motor, and when the load is only three people, it is very fast, much faster than the wooden three-masted sailing boat, and I believe it will soon catch up.
After more than an hour, they finally saw a huge black shadow slowly moving forward in the haze in front of them under the faint light of the lifeboat, it was the ghost ship!
Liu Debang became a little nervous and excited at this time, and he whispered: "Turn off the lights, they will find ours, turn off the motor as well, and let's row with oars." ”
Ye Tian was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, what he said made sense, so he turned off the motor and lights, the three of them were all masters in the world, and their physical strength was far beyond ordinary people, and the three of them rowed together, and the speed was also very fast, and they could completely keep up with the galleon in front.
After more than twenty minutes of following the sailboat in the night, the sailboat finally slowed down and a huge light came from ahead.
When Liu Debang saw it, his eyebrows showed joy, and he said: "It's going to their lair, let's catch up quickly and quietly climb onto the boat, otherwise they will find out." ”
Ye Tian and John looked curiously at the huge light, only to see a huge cave not far ahead, the cave was about fifty meters high and fifty meters wide, and the huge light was shot out of the hole, illuminating the sea surface, and they could clearly see the whole picture of the entire sailboat.
So they hurried to the stern of the sailboat, and all three of them jumped onto the side of the sailboat without difficulty.
Then the three of them crept up to the stern of the ship, only to see that there was a small deck at the stern of the ship, and it was empty. Separated from the forward deck is a three-story cockpit.
The three of them quietly touched the back door of the cockpit, looked up inside, and couldn't help but be surprised, because the cockpit was also empty! This sailboat actually sails autonomously without a driver!
"This is simply high-tech, and it is actually unmanned?" Ye Tian walked into the cockpit suspiciously, and John followed in.
They saw that the cockpit was very old, and the rudder and compass were hundreds of years old, but they were very well preserved, without the slightest decay, as if someone had been maintaining them for many years.
After Liu Dezhu walked into the cockpit, he looked around, and also let out a surprised admiration, and said: "If you don't see it with your own eyes, no one will believe it, is this ghost ship really driving by ghosts?" ”
While speaking, Ye Tian walked to the front and looked at the deck in front, only to see that the dozens of crew members were still standing on the deck, like dozens of dolls, motionless, while the woman in white was standing at the bow of the ship, looking ahead.
And the sailboat was slowly sailing into the large cave, and when the sailboat sailed into the cave, I saw dozens of lighthouses on both sides of the cave, and it was the bright light from these lighthouses that illuminated the entrance to the cave.
And inside this cave is a wide underground river, leading directly to the interior of the island, I don't know how deep, the sailboat has been slowly moving inside, along the way on both sides of the shore stands this kind of lighthouse, the number is actually as many as hundreds!
"What the hell is this place? If it is an uninhabited desert island, who built so many lighthouses? Why are so many lighthouses being built in caves? The more Ye Tian looked at it, the more frightened he became, and he felt that everything on this ghost island was incredible.
Liu Debang smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's continue to look down, we will soon see the true face of this island." ”
Ye Tian and John both looked at him immediately, although Liu Debao denied that he knew the secrets of this island, but judging from his calm look, he seemed to know a lot.
As he spoke, the ship had sailed into the deepest part of the great cavern, slowing down slowly, and finally dropping anchor and halting its progress.
Ye Tian and John saw that the space around them had become very huge, the size of two football fields, it was almost like an underground lake, and sailboats were docked at the outermost entrance of this lake.
Then they saw that the ship's planks were automatically set up on the shore, and the woman in white waved to the crowd, and the crew members walked in line towards the shore, while the woman in white commanded on the side.
Ye Tian said: "If you want to save people, it's now, you can't wait any longer!" ”
John also said: "If you wait any longer, I am afraid that the night will be long and there will be many dreams, and I will go and drag this woman, and you will save the people and take the boat and get out of here!" ”
Liu Dezhu sneered and said, "If you want to save people from Queen Ruili's hands, I'm afraid it's not so easy." Do you know how to unravel their hypnosis? Are you confident that you can take the ship from the Queen? Even if you take the ship, you dare to guarantee that you will leave safely? I don't even use my brains. ”
Hearing his words, Ye Tian and John were both shocked, "Queen Ruili? Are you talking about this woman in white? How did you know her name? ”
Liu Deguo saw that he had leaked his mouth, and he no longer concealed it, but said: "Let's not talk about this for now, I'll tell you later, in short, if you want to save people, you can't act recklessly, otherwise the three of us will all die here." Listen to me, sneak out of the boat and follow these people to see where they will be taken before making plans. ”
Seeing that the dozens of crew members were about to get off the ship, and now that time was pressing, there was no time to ask more questions, so Ye Tian and John could only follow Liu Deba's advice for the time being.
Together, the three of them quietly jumped from the boat to the shore, clinging to the mountain wall, following the crew.
I saw that these crew members, led by the woman in white, walked towards a small hole in the mountain wall, which seemed to be a passage, but they did not know where it led.
The three of them performed light skills and followed lightly at the back of the team, and the woman in white did not look back in front of her, not paying attention to anyone following her at all.
I saw that the passage was extremely deep, and it seemed to be heading upwards, because some faint light came in from above, shining on the ground.
The group marched up in this passage, and after walking for about half an hour, suddenly there was a light ahead, and they had reached the end of the passage.
When all the crew members walked out of the hole, Ye Tian was mixed in the crowd, and when he looked outside, he couldn't help but be stunned!
This is already the inland of the island, and they are in a big pit, this big pit is at least a thousand meters in diameter and more than a hundred meters deep, and they are in the middle of this pit, the top is still fifty meters above the ground, and the bottom is also fifty meters from the bottom of the pit.
This huge pit has a standard circle and is surrounded by traces of excavation, which means that the pit was dug by someone, and it is almost obvious why someone would spend such a large amount of work to dig such a large pit.
Because the whole pit was full of golden light, and the ground was full of gold!
That's right, there's gold everywhere, it's an open-pit gold mine! The earth and stones all over the ground contain a sparkling amount of gold sand, which is an astonishing amount of reserves.
The woman in white pointed to the bottom of the pit and said, "From this day onwards, you will stay here and dig gold for me until you die!" Hahaha, go to work, my slaves! ”
After listening to her order, the crew members walked to the bottom of the pit in a neat line like robots, they were still hypnotized, so they didn't have the slightest emotional fluctuation when they saw the gold all over the ground, they were now dozens of walking corpses, completely controlled by the woman in white.
Seeing that her slaves obediently went to work, the woman in white smiled proudly, and then floated towards the top of the big pit.
It wasn't until the woman in white disappeared that Liu Debao said, "Now you know the secret of this island, right?" This is the place that adventurers all over the world are looking for, the legendary Golden Isle! ”
"Golden Island? What is that place? Ye Tian was also shocked by this huge gold mine.
Liu Debao slowly told this ancient story.
More than 500 years ago, there was an adventurer who led a fleet of ships to sea, and they lost their way in the sea and accidentally drifted to a deserted island, only to find that this island contains a huge gold mine, almost the entire island is full of gold, it is simply a small island made of gold, they named this island Golden Island. And they mined five large ships of gold on this island, and returned with a full load, but just as they were about to return home, they encountered a great storm on the sea, and the whole fleet capsized in the storm, and all the crew members did not survive!
This secret was buried in the sea, until three hundred years ago, when a fisherman was fishing in the deep sea, he inadvertently salvaged the items of the fleet, this item aroused the interest of many adventurers and historians, people used great strength, it took forty years before and after, to salvage all the things on the five shipwrecks, the gold mine of the whole five ships shocked the world, and the adventurer's logbook was also found, the secret that had been sunk in the sea for hundreds of years finally rediscovered, That's when people learned about the Golden Isle.
So people all over the world began to frantically search for this island, but a hundred years have passed in a blink of an eye, no one has ever found this island, people started it was just a legend, some people think that the adventurer was a gold mine stolen from an indigenous tribe, in order to cover up his atrocities, the gold island is a lie he deliberately made up. Over time, this statement was gradually recognized, and the legend of the Golden Island was gradually forgotten.
But it wasn't until more than a hundred years ago that a female pirate named Queen Ruili accidentally got a nautical chart, she led her subordinates, piloted the three-masted sailing ship - Skull Rose, and after ten years, finally found this legendary golden island, but the price was never returned.
