Chapter 272: Action
The Phoenix Islands are made up of 8 small islands and several coral reefs, located halfway between Hawaii and Fiji in the South Pacific. The entire archipelago covers an area of only 7.6 square kilometres, and the rest of the archipelago is uninhabited, except for the largest island, Canton Island, where more than two dozen scientists live.
Over the past 2 centuries, there have been several attempts to settle or migrate to the Phoenix Islands, but all efforts have failed, and the last inhabitants have evacuated the island in 1963.
Ouyang Zhanying immediately gave an order for the gambling ship to approach the Phoenix Islands, and Qin Xuebing stood on the deck to observe the so-called fire dragon in the sea.
The fire dragon of the sea does exist, and the vision that appears here is the result of the manifestation of the fire dragon of the sea. Qin Xuebing looked at the island for a while, and it could be seen from the vegetation that there should be frequent droughts here because of the fire dragon in the sea.
After asking Ouyang Zhanying, he immediately found relevant information, and it turned out that Qin Xuebing's guess was completely correct, it was precisely because of the frequent drought that several migrations to the Phoenix Islands would fail, and finally had to evacuate.
However, this is not the whole of the fire dragon in the sea, only a small part, which is equivalent to the gate of Qin Xuebing's mansion, only a corner of the dragon vein.
"Qin, you're amazing!" Delfina was extremely excited, although it was still a little different from the oil painting, but it was already six or seven percent similar. As for the difference, it is because it has been too long and the painting is too poor.
"Evacuate here first, and go to the island tomorrow to hunt for treasure!" Ouyang Zhanying immediately made a decision, it was about to get dark, and it was not suitable for landing, let alone treasure hunting. Moreover, the Phoenix Islands are the territory of another country. Staying here too long may cause trouble, so it is better to retreat to the open sea and wait until tomorrow to land on a yacht.
"Let's plan for tens of thousands, it's not easy to find treasure." It is impossible for Qin Xuebing to use the feng shui doctrine to hunt for treasures on the island, after all, Blackbeard does not understand this set. It was an accident to be able to find this place according to Feng Shui.
The Phoenix Islands are made up of 8 small islands and several coral reefs, and the area is not large, but it is also 7.6 square kilometers, and no one knows that Blackbeard will hide his treasure in that corner, or even bury it in the ground.
After discussion. The crowd unanimously decided to use the dumbest method, a carpet search. This is the only way to have a chance to find the treasure.
Of course, Qin Xuebing had absolute confidence, as long as the treasure was still on the island, he would definitely not be able to escape the palm of his hand. With the continuous improvement of his cultivation, his sense of antiques has become more keen, and the range is also larger, and he can definitely sense it clearly within 100 meters. 7.6 square kilometers will not take much time.
"Stopped again, the location is the Phoenix Islands!"
Whenever the boat stopped, the fifth scum had an incomparably headache, because she couldn't tell whether Qin Xuebing stopped the boat to hunt for treasure or waited until he was distracted. Therefore, she can only use the stupidest method. Continue to wait, and start when Qin Xuebing starts to return home.
The next day, as soon as the sun showed its horizons, the rest of the people, except for the warriors who stayed on the ship, landed on the island and scattered to the small islands. Expand the carpet search.
Qin Xuebing found a reason for himself to be in the middle of the way, and he could move freely, in order to explore the clues of the treasure as soon as possible.
Qin Xuebing landed on the first island. A leisurely stroll doesn't look like a treasure hunt at all, but rather like sightseeing. However, the scenery on the island is really good, there are all kinds of animals living there, and you can see the animal kingdom everywhere.
It took an hour to go around every corner. But the vitality did not produce induction. However, Qin Xuebing was not discouraged, and drove a speedboat to the next island.
Qin Xuebing felt that his luck was not very good. The second island still has nothing to sense Yin Qi and Yuan Qi.
After thinking about it, Qin Xuebing drove a speedboat to the largest Canton Island, which is currently inhabited by more than 20 scientific researchers, and there were many people who lived on it, so they might be able to gain something. …,
However, it turns out that speculation can be easily wrong, and waiting until the sun shines vertically on the island still yields nothing. And, all day long, there was no harvest. On this day, Qin Xuebing searched six islands, and only two remained.
When night fell, they retreated back to their ships, ready to continue tomorrow. The fifth scum paid close attention to the situation here, frowning and muttering: "Don't leave yet, it seems that the Phoenix Islands are the location of the treasure, they should be looking for the treasure on the island now, but they don't know if they have found it." ”
"If you find it, you'll leave."
The first scum said next to him: "I really hope they can find the treasure as soon as possible, and we can complete the task as soon as possible." ”
"yes, honestly, I'm starting to hate the sea!"
The second scum sighed and said, "Without good wine, without beautiful women, this day is simply not human." ”
"Aren't we beautiful?" The third scum and the fifth scum picked up something at the same time and smashed it over.
"I hope you're not beautiful!" The second scum replied weakly, it is true that they are scum, but the relationship between men and women is very clear, each has its own life, and has never messed around.
Of course, it's also a pain to only watch but not practice!
Laugh for a while and rest separately. Qin Xuebing and the others continued to land on the island when the sky was slightly bright: "There are only two small islands left, I hope you don't let me down." ”
"By all means, you must find the treasure!" Delphine muttered to herself, she had longed for the diamond that had never been born. And she hopes that the treasure hunt will end successfully, not just a failed operation.
"It's a pity!" Rhys was also muttering, contrary to Delphina's border, he didn't want to find the treasure now.
In his fantasy, treasure hunting should be the same as Qin Xuebing's treasure hunt in the desert, not only with villains, but also with all kinds of mysteries, such as monsters. Now, the villain has seen a lot, but the monster has no shadow. Xiaolong can barely be counted as one, but it is his own side.
Perhaps, his resentment played a role, Qin Xuebing spent three hours walking through the last two islands, and his vitality still did not have an induction. This only means that either the treasure is not on these eight islands at all, or it has been taken long ago.
Qin Xuebing did not give up, drove a speedboat to visit all the coral reefs nearby, and even patrolled around the island, but his vitality still did not have an induction.
The treasure is not here! Perhaps the painting was just an accident, drawn by one of Blackbeard's pirates during his journey, not when Blackbeard was hiding his treasure.
Qin Xuebing sat on the speedboat that had turned off the flame, and various thoughts flashed in his mind, as well as strong unwillingness. This trip to the sea to hunt for treasure has such a huge amount of manpower and material resources, which took nearly a month, and has fought with pirates, Indian destroyers, and Indian Navy commandos, but in the end it was a failure.
To be precise, it can't be considered a failure, they have found a treasure and seized more than a hundred yachts, which are worth a lot of money.
However, not finding the target treasure always makes people feel unwilling!
As the sun sets, the carpet search is over, and everyone is depressed and unable to lift their spirits. Delphine muttered to herself, "Treasures, diamonds, maybe just what we imagined, everything is just fantasy." No, to be precise, rumors, and we believed it. ”
"Don't be discouraged, Delphina, at least we have a wonderful trip." Ye Zijing was a little unbearable and comforted.
"That's right, it's worth it!" Delphine quickly smiled, diamonds were nothing to her, and she only needed to spend a small half of her wealth to compare to the sum of the world's famous diamonds.
The reason why I was depressed before was because the expectations were too high and the psychological gap was too big. …,
"Treasure Hunt Mouse, is there really no way?" Rhys wanted to slap herself a few times, muttering that she really hadn't found anything now.
That's right, he yearns for a more exciting journey, hoping that the treasure hunt can be continued and see more magic. But now, the clue is broken and the treasure hunt is over, which is equivalent to a failed treasure hunt.
How can an unperfect treasure hunt be better than a failed one?
"What can I do?" Qin Xuebing smiled bitterly, the only clue from beginning to end was the oil painting, and he also successfully found the location of the oil painting, but the result was unsatisfactory, and he couldn't help it.
"Xuebing, I have an idea, maybe I can try it."
Ye Zijing thought for a moment and said: "The oil painting presents the pattern of the fire dragon in the sea, can we use the fire dragon in the sea as a clue to search along the dragon veins." ”
Qin Xuebing thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I can't be sure, but there may be clues." In this way, set off overnight so as not to waste time. ”
"Great, my treasure hunt isn't over yet!" Rhys jumped, and there was still hope for the magical journey of fantasy.
No, it's going to happen, he told himself!
In this regard, Qin Xuebing and others can understand that this kid is crazy in search of excitement, otherwise he would not have taken out three of the twelve beast heads, plus a famous Picasso painting.
"Yes, I am sure there will be a happy ending." Delfina also had hope in her heart that the treasure hunt wasn't over.
"They set off, overnight, probably to find the treasure!" The fifth scum cheered, after so many days of drifting on the sea, isn't it today?
"If you stay on the island for two days, if you want to relax, you won't leave overnight. I guess I really found it. "The first scum also agrees with the judgment of the fifth scum. From his own point of view, if it is just to relax, then he must wait until after dawn before leaving.
"Check your equipment, it's time to get started!" The first scum gave the order, and everyone was running efficiently, taking out pieces of equipment that had not been on the market before. Every piece of equipment here is custom-made for the mission, even made by themselves. It is no exaggeration to say that the value of these equipment alone is enough for many people to live a few lives in peace.
