One hundred and eighty-seven. Cocoa Island
San Jose is a very famous tourist city, but unfortunately Ai Xiaohai is not here to visit this time.
After getting off the plane and coming to the hotel that had been prepared a long time ago, Ai Xiaohai had a big meal, rested for a good night, and was picked up by Vincent early the next morning.
Lu Kaisi had already arranged it there, just waiting for Ai Xiaohai to appear.
Located 600 kilometres south of Costa Rica's Pacific coast, Coco Island is a small but valuable island with an area of 24 square kilometres. Legend has it that the island is famous for its treasures, as it is said that a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry are buried.
The blue sky, sea water, and sandy beaches on Cocoa Island are beautiful, and there are many varieties of fragrant flowers. In such a heavenly and bright place, visitors can feel the peace of mind and spiritual relaxation in whatever kind of house they choose to live in.
However, it was such a tourist paradise that was closed in 1978 by the Costa Rican government on the grounds of protecting the environment. Most of the island's inhabitants left the island to resettle, leaving only a few policemen.
It would be a shame to abandon such a tourist destination in order to protect the island's legendary treasures.
Vincent was classified as "least persona non grata" by the Costa Rican government for some "special reasons", and he could not come to Costa Rica in person.
Louis became his plenipotentiary here.
A "Tuna" under the command of Captain Tamos will accompany Ai Xiaohai to Cocoa Island and take care of the reception. Moreover, Ruques in Costa Rica was well prepared. A helicopter was even arranged in case of a possible situation.
It seems that in terms of security, there should be no more problems......
The sea journey is still relatively long, and Ai Xiaohai couldn't help jumping into the sea several times and swam directly to Coco Island.
Finally seeing the outline of Cocoa Island, Captain Tamos made contact with the island, and it wasn't long before a speedboat quickly approached the Tuna.
Rukis and a sergeant came aboard the Tuna.
Sheriff Gvares!
Sheriff Govares is in charge of blocking the entire island of Cocoa!
After a brief introduction, without too many polite words, Sergeant Gvares got straight to the point: "Sir, you have two days to stay on the island. Remember, you are a foreign tourist sneaking to the island. In the course of two days. I don't care what you're doing, but you're not allowed to get me in trouble, understand? ”
"Got it." Ai Xiaohai pursed his lips.
Well, it is estimated that Rukis has given Gvares a lot of benefits. Otherwise, this sheriff wouldn't have ventured to allow a stranger to land on the island.
"Ai. Good luck. Lukes called Ai Xiaohai aside: "I believe that our adventure will be successful." Fortune awaits on the 'Dear Mary', and I'm sure the person recommended by Yuan will be right, and you will be able to find the treasure." ”
He used several "definitely" in a row. It was as if treasure was beckoning to them. Then, he handed Ai Xiaohai a satellite phone.
Ai Xiaohai suddenly asked a very serious question: "What about you?" What did you do during this time? ”
"I'll be waiting for you on the Tuna." Rukis said very seriously: "Once you find the treasure, please contact me immediately, and I will take you and the treasure away." ”
This cunning foreigner, co-authored him with nothing on the "tuna......
……
Ai Xiaohai's English can only barely understand and converse, and the English level of Guvares, who is in a Spanish-speaking country, is also similar to Ai Xiaohai's, and the two of them did not say a word on the speedboat.
When he finally set foot on the land of "Treasure Island", Cocoa Island, Ai Xiaohai suddenly had a strange feeling:
Something awaits you on the island!
After entering the fourth layer, the Dragon Spirit Bead's ability to sense is already very powerful. But Ai Xiaohai didn't know what was going to happen here.
Generally, Ai Xiaohai will only have this feeling when powerful creatures appear nearby, but Coco Island, which is only 24 square kilometers, is not big, and it used to be a tourist attraction, so it is unlikely that there will be any "monsters" on the island, otherwise it would have been discovered a long time ago.
What is that?
"Remember, two days, you only have two days!" The expressionless Gervares repeated again, saying in stiff English, "I don't know you, and I don't know how you sneaked in. Is that right? ”
"Makes sense, right." Ai Xiaohai nodded solemnly: "Goodbye." ”
Finally, you can walk alone on this small island that has been passed down for countless years.
From time to time, some beautiful birds that even Ai Xiaohai can't name fly by, and they are not afraid of humans at all.
Ai Xiaohai threw out a few consciousnesses one after another, and in a moment, those flying birds all gathered around Ai Xiaohai respectfully. Ai Xiaohai Dale, it seems that there is no language communication problem between animals.
I took out the map that Vincent gave me and found in the first draft of "Treasure Island", and carefully compared it, so many years have passed, and nothing particularly big has changed on the island.
With a map in hand, this treasure hunt shouldn't be particularly difficult.
There is a saying among treasure hunters internationally that where there is great treasure, there must be fierce beasts guarding over it. This is because some characteristics of the treasure, such as the treasure emitting light, etc., determine that they also attract beasts, and Ai Xiaohai's previous treasure hunts have also verified this very well.
But this time it looks like the pattern is about to be broken.
Such a peaceful and beautiful island that not even a large beast will ever see one.
After the island was closed, all the tourists and residents of the island left, and the island was so calm at this time. The sound of waves crashing on the beach, the chirping of seabirds, everything is so intoxicating.
That's a bird's call...... That's the sound of a monkey seeking a mate...... Is that......
What is that? Someone stalking themselves?
Ai Xiaohai's hearing is unmatched in the world. Stalking him? It's just a joke! Even if a civet cat follows him. He was also able to perceive.
Who sent it? Rukais is not worried about himself? Or is Gvares ready to figure out what he wants to do on the island?
Ai Xiaohai sneered, stalking Ai Shao? Have fun with you......
……
Picano had been quietly following the stranger who had landed on the island, and a pistol was hidden in his clothes. And the Costa Rican police uniform on his body looks a little dazzling.
Sheriff Gvares told them that he had a friend who was going to the island for a tour, and asked no one to interfere. You know, there's no one on Coco Island who is bigger than Sheriff Gvares. In addition, these policemen before will also quietly bring some friends or tourists to visit Coco Island. Earn some extra money by the way. So everybody turns a blind eye to such things.
But this time Picano felt something was different.
He knew the guy who had landed on the island the other day: Rukes!
It was an American, very good friends with Sheriff Guevares, and it was nothing, but from Picano, Rukes was seen on Coco Island. He had a strong premonition:
Rukis is here for the island's treasures!
Don't doubt Picano's judgment. He and his family are members of a very special small group. They have their own special mission...... Tours are okay, but definitely not to do things that they don't allow!
It's too late to inform his family, and Picano must be on his own. Keep an eye on the young man who landed on the island.
If necessary, he will end the life of a young man with a bullet. Although it was a bit cruel, he couldn't care much more about protecting the island's secrets.
When the time comes, throw his body into the sea, and then the body will be devoured by some creature, and no one knows that such a person has ever been to Coco Island......
But Picano probably didn't want to know, he would rather encounter a monster that could eat people than provoke this young man who landed on the island......
……
The guy who was stalking himself wasn't that far away. Ai Xiaohai was very curious, did he just want to keep following like this?
I still have business to do, but I don't have time to play games with this guy.
Consciousness came out, and several birds quietly flew into the sky......
……
Picano was sure that he was very cautious, and the young man in front of him would never find out.
A couple of birds appeared, and Picano didn't care at all. There are so many different species of birds on the island during this season.
The two birds seemed to be circling nonchalantly above his head, and just as Picano was engrossed in watching the man in front of him, the birds suddenly swooped down with great speed, scratched him in the face, and then flew back into the sky with great speed.
Picano almost screamed in pain.
The two birds caught too hard, and when Picano touched it, his hands were covered with blood. He was afraid of alarming the people in front of him, so he didn't dare to make a sound at all......
……
Ai Xiaohai smiled, okay, it's quite painful.
Consciousness came out again, and the two poisonous insects quietly slid towards Picano's location.
This insect is unique to Cocoa Island, called "black clawworm", and earthworms live in the same soil, basically do not bite, but once bitten by it, it hurts and itchy, and there is no more than a month to think about it.
As such, it also has a nickname:
Nasty black brat ......
……
The young man in front of him seemed to be really here for a tourist, stopping as he went, but Picano didn't dare to take it lightly.
The young man stopped again, and Picano quickly crouched down.
Something seems to have gotten into the trouser leg?
Uh-huh-Picano slammed his mouth.
At first glance, two "black hundred-clawed insects" were coming out of his trouser legs contentedly, and then swaggering into the dirt.
Damn, damn it, it's the "nasty black boy".
When I pulled the trouser leg, there were two imperceptible red dots on the left and right, but then they became the size of a grain of rice, and then the size of a fingernail.
Finally, the swelling seems to be transparent.
Picano's heart was constantly cursing, and the feeling of pain and itching tormented him. He didn't dare to catch it, he was from the island, and he knew too well how powerful the "black hundred-clawed worm" was, and the wound would have been broken as soon as he scratched it, and it would have been fine in a month, but if it was broken, it would have to take more than half a year.
Originally, there were special herbs on the island that could quickly relieve pain and itching, but now where can Picano find it?
It was torture, and Picano resisted the urge to scratch it, but the more it did, the more painful and itchy the wound became.
Damn it, how much did it cost me to stalk you? I swear that if you have any ill intentions, I will kill you......
……
Strong!
Ai Xiaohai was about to give the stalker a thumbs up, he had done a lot of homework before coming to Cocoa Island, knowing that there were "black claws" on the island, and the birds were just a warning at the beginning, but that kid could even endure the pain caused by "black claws".
Ai Xiaohai was very curious about the other party's purpose.
Of course, he didn't want to hurt anyone.
Since you are still "obsessed", then Ai Xiaohai doesn't have to be polite to you anymore! (To be continued......)
