Volume 4 The Stormy Waves of the Sea Chapter 379 is both true and illusory
Poplar only felt dizzy, and at the same time he heard what seemed to be the exclamation of Haizhu and the shout of the Iron Bull in his ears.
However, the process did not last long before a "thump" was heard, and Poplar felt like he had fallen into the water.
It was still white in front of him, and Poplar could only instinctively push hard and rise towards the water.
Soon, he felt the deliciousness of the air, and immediately took a big breath, trying to open his eyes, but he was still white and could not see clearly.
Poplar had to close his eyes again, just screaming, "Old Black, Old Black, where are you?"
"I'm here!" Tie Niu agreed not far from him, and then shouted, "Haizhu, where are you, Haizhu?"
"I'm here!" Haizhu agreed, coughing continuously.
Poplar Iron Bull was all relieved, and could only wait for the feeling of whiteness to pass away.
"Lao Bai, did you say that we left that place?" Tie Niu asked impatiently.
"I guess so, I feel the sun!" replied Poplar.
He really felt the sun, although he couldn't open his eyes yet, but when he turned his face, he could feel that the light was extraordinarily bright, and even hot and spicy and roasted his face.
"Yes, I also feel the sunshine, it seems that we are really back, Lao Bai is still you good!" Tie Niu laughed, dancing in the water with his eyes closed.
But when they were finally able to open their eyes and see, they were astonished to find that not far from them there was a large, old and dilapidated wooden boat.
"Isn't this Redbeard's pirate ship? Old White, what's going on? There's the sun here, we should get out of that hellish place, but why, Redbeard's ship is here?"
Poplar struggled to answer, and could only look up at the sky again.
The sky was blue, with white clouds and the sun.
In the distance, although there are no other ships in sight, more than one island can be seen.
"I'm sure we're at least out of that hellish place!" replied Poplar, turning his head to look at the big dilapidated wooden ship not far from them, "As for Redbeard's ship, I think that the moment I smashed the psychic orb, that strange place had already disappeared, and Redbeard's ship naturally followed. ”
"Shall we go up and have a look, and see if Redbeard is still on the boat?" Iron Bull asked again.
"I must go up and have a look!" said Poplar, looking at the nearest island from a distance, "It's at least a dozen kilometers from here to the nearest island, and we're going to swim there with Haizhu, I'm afraid it's a little difficult!"
"His ship has been broken like this, and it can float and unsinkable in that hellish place, but in the real world, I'm afraid it won't be far away!" said Iron Bull.
Poplar looked at the ship again, and it was indeed in tatters, with a few obvious holes in the hull, even if it could barely move, it was afraid that it would fall apart if it didn't go far.
"Anyway, you always have to go up and have a look! or you have Haizhu down there, I'll go up and see the situation first!"
Tie Niu agreed, and said: "If you meet a sea ghost, you can shout loudly, and I will come up to help you immediately!"
"If we really go back to the real world, how can we meet sea ghosts so easily!" said Poplar.
As he spoke, he swam closer to the wrecked ship, climbing through the holes in its hull and climbing onto it.
The ship's deck was also in a dilapidated state, and even a few of the masts were rotting and broken.
There were piles of debris on the side of the ship, but Poplar didn't bother to look at them, and the first thing he saw was a few piles of bones.
It was a very complete pile of skeletons, as if their bodies had never been moved after they had suddenly died on the ship.
Of course, in the vast sea, it is not uncommon for a ship to drift for thousands of years without encountering other ships, but the question is, there are still scavenging seabirds at sea, how can they leave these dead bodies still?
In addition, there are often storms at sea, even if the ship is lucky and has not been overturned by the storm, at least these corpses should not be placed so neatly, right?
So the only explanation is -
"Lao Bai, what's going on up there?" Iron Bull couldn't help but cry out below.
"Why don't you come up and have a look?" said Poplar, as he went to the side of the ship, ready to stretch out his hand and pull them up.
Tie Niu discussed with Haizhu, first pushed Haizhu onto the hull, and let Haizhu climb up the hole in the ship.
When he got close to the side of the ship, Poplar stretched out his hand and pulled Haizhu up to the deck, and then the Iron Bull climbed up.
Seeing those bones at a glance, Haizhu exclaimed in fright and said, "Why are there so many bones, isn't this Redbeard's ship?"
"I think so, these bones are Redbeard!" replied Poplar.
"How is that possible? We've seen Redbeard just now, and even if they're all dead, they can't turn into white bones so quickly, right?"
"The Redbeard we saw was in that strange place, not in the real world!" Poplar slowly spoke his own understanding, "but you must know that Redbeard has been in that place for an unknown amount of time, and their bodies have long been decayed and moldy, so that the moldy moss on their faces cannot be washed off! The reason why they are still alive is just a false illusion created by the psychic orb! So once they return to the real world, their bodies will be corrupted into ashes in an instant!" ”
Aspen's explanation can be said to be very detailed. But Haizhu was still stunned for a while, and then he slowly understood, and couldn't help but touch his chest with one hand, and said, "Fortunately, these people are all dead, otherwise you may have to fight with them again!"
Tie Niu also nodded, expressing his approval of Poplar's statement, and said, "Since Redbeard and they have all turned into white bones, let's go and see if there are any treasures in the cabin, otherwise we will not be able to be born and die this time!"
"Then let's go to the cabin, I think there must be some gold, silver, jewelry, and so on in his cabin!" Poplar smiled, but shook his head again, "It's just that this ship will fall apart at any time, even if there are some gold and silver treasures, we can't take them away!"
"Let's go and see how much you can bring!" Iron Bull smiled.
Haizhu looked at those white bones, and her heart was a little panicked, but when she heard that she was going to go down to the cabin to find the treasure, she was also very interested.
So she pushed the Iron Ox in front, she followed closely behind the Iron Ox, and Poplar walked last.
The ship was so rotten that the three of them stepped on a few decks while walking, and the poplar iron ox was not very agile, but Haizhu almost broke his foot.
So the three of them walked more carefully.
Slowly descended the stairs and entered the cabin, which was full of white bones, obviously these people were lying down and resting, and suddenly they were brought into the real world, and they had not had time to take a breath and turn over, they had already been corrupted into white bones.
Redbeard had said that they didn't sleep on the boat at night, but at the bottom of the sea, but now that they were back in the real world, naturally, their bones returned to the cabin.
The three of them pushed open the two cabins in front of them, and found that one of the two cabins was also full of bones, and it was obviously the pirates' Chase bunk. There was also a room that appeared to be a place for discussion, and there was a large wooden table with some ancient nautical instruments.
And such an old nautical instrument is already a very valuable antique, but as Poplar said, once the ship falls apart, these things cannot be taken with them.
Therefore, Poplar and the other three had no interest in these instruments, and walked directly to the third cabin, which was Redbeard's private cabin.
Pushing open the hatch and entering, it was naturally rotten inside, but it was vaguely visible that there were some ruined decorations on the bulkhead.
There were several wooden boxes stacked on the ground, and among them were two large wooden boxes stacked on top of each other, which were the same two wooden boxes that Poplar had opened and inspected one by one before.
Tie Niu and Haizhu hurriedly opened the wooden box and checked them one by one, and soon both of them let out a cry of surprise.
Poplar leaned over to take a look, and found that a wooden box opened by the Iron Ox was full of gold and silver artifacts, and those gold and silver artifacts were still shining, as if they had not been eroded by time.
Knowing that these gold and silver artifacts were difficult to take away, Poplar was naturally not very interested in them, but walked to a wooden bed placed on the side of the hatch and observed a pair of white bones lying on the wooden bed.
It was as neat and complete as if he were lying on the bed until he was reduced to bones, never moving at all.
This is naturally the skeleton of Redbeard, and there is a pendant with a black skull hanging around his neck, lined with white bones, which looks particularly terrifying.
However, Poplar had no interest in any of this, and his attention was quickly drawn to a small wooden box on the bed.
The small wooden box was placed next to the gray skull on the inside of the bed, which showed how precious Redbeard regarded this wooden box, and it should have been to the point of never leaving it for a moment.
And although the wooden box has decayed, looking at its appearance and size, it looks like the wooden box containing the spiritual orb.
Poplar didn't know whether he was surprised or delighted, and immediately reached out and picked up the wooden box.
There is a lock on the wooden box, and the lock has some rusty spots.
However, Poplar touched it with his hand and could see that it was a golden lock.
"Come and see, old black!" Poplar couldn't help but cry out.
Tie Niu walked over in agreement, and at a glance he caught a glimpse of the wooden box in Bai Yang's hand, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's the box that contains the psychic orb, how can it be here?"
"And look at the lock, it's on top!" said Poplar, flicking the golden lock with his hand.
"No way, I've already unscrewed that golden lock and sent it to Haizhu! Could it be that this box is another box at all?" said Tie Niu.
"I think it's the box!" replied Poplar.
He tried to grasp the golden lock with his hand and pulled it out with all his might.
The wooden box had rotted, and he was forbidden to pull it, and suddenly the whole lock was pulled down by him.
Poplar lifted the lid of the wooden box and glanced at the box, instantly surprised and delighted.
Inside the wooden box was a large crystal clear bead, the size of which was the same as a child's ball, and it was suddenly the psychic jewel that he had just smashed.
"This, this, this...... How is that possible?" Tie Niu called out directly, and looked back at Haizhu, who was also dumbfounded, "Haizhu, where is the broken golden lock I gave you?
Haizhu woke up with an "ah" and immediately hurriedly touched his body.
