The Sea of Storms is extremely vast, ten times the size of the Sea of Stars, and there is nothing surprising in itself, with more than fifty islands in the Rushmore Islands dotted across this vast expanse, and the second-class reefs are as many as three digits in size. It is said that it was originally a large island with abundant resources, but when the land sank into the sea, only the mountains and highlands were spared, and the islands were exposed above the water line like a string of pearls. If this bizarre legend is true, it may perfectly explain why the geographical information provided by the treasure map does not match the actual current topography, and it is likely that the islands have slowly settled over the past few thousand years.

Although he had imagined countless times when he was alone that he was standing in front of the last piece of the evidence of the overlord, the moment when he was about to reach out and pick up this priceless treasure, he really came to this step, and he was close to the ultimate goal, and Luo Zhengdao realized more and more deeply the tangled mood of gaining and losing.

Further heaven, one step back to hell, the huge gap between advance and retreat and gain and loss makes people can't help but tense every nerve in the whole body, and it is not something that ordinary people can do under such heavy pressure.

"Your Majesty, we have found the stele underwater."

"What's the mark?"

"Wings, a wing."

It didn't take much time, the underwater stele was salvaged out of the water, Luo Zhengdao personally participated in identifying the pattern, the situation was no different from the description of his subordinates, a lonely left wing, looking like the old world road goods trademark, it was difficult for him to comprehend the hidden clues from this hint. Deciphering this work is really too brain-burning, continue to toss at this rhythm, sooner or later he will have to eat whales to replenish his brain.

"You're looking for a pattern similar to this one on the island."

With Luo Zhengdao's order, the hundreds of people who landed on the expedition had to scatter aimlessly looking for suspicious clues, and they widened their eyes and carefully identified any unnatural markers with the spirit of Scrooge picking up the copper plates scattered on the ground.

"Your Majesty, do you see this being here?"

To be honest, what Luo Zhengdao hates most is not facing a dangerous situation, there is no such thing as treasure hunting, no matter how much risk he takes, he can always accept the reality calmly, if you want to eat fish, then don't be afraid of fish bones in your mouth! The problem is that the process of racking his brains and fighting wits with the treasure bury like this really makes him feel extremely painful, I don't know how these senior pirate kings were tossed by the predecessors before him, and made such an unwavering determination to take revenge on the society, anyway, Luo Zhengdao, who was physically and mentally exhausted, felt that he would not be able to play happily with them in the future.

Standing at the bottom of the cliff with a steep angle like a knife splitting an axe, identifying another wing mark corresponding to the stone stele, looking at the pile of rocks in front of him, Luo Zhengdao took a few deep breaths, greeted and said:

"Let's get started!"

Dozens of strong men carrying stone pine powder barrels were busy and completed all the preparations, Luo Zhengdao nodded and signaled that the blasting team could start, and the team leader who was in charge of this business finally checked the guide. Burst the cord, and then lit the fire.

"Boom-"

Suddenly, countless pieces of debris were blown away by the shock wave, and the farthest to the shore, the expedition team hiding behind a boulder listened to the debris from the explosion hitting the stones like stray bullets, and the sound of breaking the air passing by their own side and overhead. When the situation was calm, Luo Zhengdao asked his subordinates who went out to investigate the situation:

"Did you spot anything out of the ordinary?"

Looking at the pile of rocks under the cliff, which was much smaller, the scout shook his head with a look of surprise and said:

"Nope! Nothing! ”

Without waiting for Luo Zhengdao to speak, a staff officer accompanying him interjected:

"Your Majesty, are we in the wrong place?"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao thought for a while, shook his head and said:

"No, tell the demolition team to blast again, still in the same position, and increase the amount of medicine for me."

"Boom ......"

It was another huge explosion that shook the earth, and this time the amount of stone pine powder consumed was enough to fight a large-scale naval battle, if it weren't for the help of space equipment, the expedition team might not be able to make up so many explosions when they vomited blood? Thing. In addition, Luo Zhengdao feels that now is not the tourist season, there are no idlers in the Rushmore Islands who come to visit and relax, and at this sensitive time node when a big storm may occur at any time, the elves who are familiar with the climate change of the Sea of Storms will not go out casually to find it uncomfortable! Therefore, although the expedition team has made a big move here, as long as it does not alarm the patrol fleet of the Federal Navy, the threat of the treasure hunt being exposed is not great.

Before going out, Luo Zhengdao carefully arranged a public opinion? As for the deception, at first he secretly spread rumors through internal channels that he was going to the old imperial city to worship the temple of Emperor Taizu, which had just been restored not long ago, and on the other hand, he vigorously denied in public that he had plans to leave Qiongzhou and go to the main continent in the near future.

Most observers who were following His Majesty Will Needham's movements found him disappear from public view, and their first instinct was to turn their gaze to the main continent. This method can roughly ensure that they will be concealed for a while, but how to succeed before the truth is revealed and get the evidence of the overlord of the Sea of Storms will have to test whether Luo Zhengdao's hands and feet are sharp enough.

Through the white smoke that had not yet completely dissipated, and seeing the pile of rubbles that had completely disappeared, the group leader's voice had an irrepressible excitement, and shouted loudly:

“…… It's a cave, Your Majesty. ”

Hearing the sound, Luo Zhengdao, who breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and after a few seconds, he spoke:

"Everyone, get ready, let's go down."

Even if there have been six similar treasure hunting experiences, from a certain point of view, Luo Zhengdao can be regarded as a good doctor after a long illness, and he has seen the ruthless nature of the previous pirate kings, and he knows very well how difficult his situation is. The treasure hunt is no less threatening than a bloody battle, and the slightest carelessness can cost your life.

As representatives of the group of tough men who fight the seven seas, the Pirate Kings will never agree with the childish idea that a weak person is qualified to compete with them, what is compassion? If the latecomers unfortunately die in the trap, it is not a loss for these arrogant predecessors, and the weak should not fantasize about getting involved in the evidence of the overlord, or even the honorable title of the Pirate King. Now that they understand this, they can also understand the last proof of the overlord of the Sea of Storms, and I am afraid that it is also the final level for the senior pirate kings to eliminate unqualified successors, and they will definitely come up with the most powerful means and sinister intentions to kick those candidates who do not meet the standards out.

"Goo-dong-"

Throwing a fist-sized stone into the dark abyss beside the path, and it took almost half a minute to hear the echo of the impact, and the people who changed color could not help but pray, and said:

"May my Lord bless you how deep it is!"

An elderly member of the team said to the young man behind him:

"Trust me, boy, if you fall from this, you'll be able to complete your dying prayer before you hit the ground, so remember to walk carefully."

Walking in the center of the expedition team, Luo Zhengdao didn't care about the interesting things or trivial things that happened around him, and his mind was all focused on the upcoming final test. In this extreme challenge of climbing to the top of the world, the loser is destined to pay a terrible price, and Luo Zhengdao does not want to be planted on it.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”

The sharp soldiers who ran from the front of the team had a frightened look on their faces, and Luo Zhengdao looked at the people on the left and right, and his face became ugly, and he stopped him and said:

"Don't panic, what's the matter?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After calming everyone's emotions, Luo Zhengdao calmed his voice and said:

"Say it! What exactly was found? ”

"Petroglyphs, petroglyphs, Your Majesty."

At the end of the fork in the road, the rock formations cut down to form a vertical façade, and below is a bottomless cliff. Hundreds of yards away, the towering cliffs on the opposite side were so huge that they loomed in hundred-meter increments, and people had to look intently to see some clues.

It has been said that truly great works of art have the power to shock the mind, and these drawings of different images above the inaccessible abyss undoubtedly meet this criterion.

The people of the expedition stared wide-eyed at the petroglyphs that seemed to be writhing and deformed under the flickering light of the torches, and their eyes were full of shock and amazement.

The history of the New World is indeed long, but the written history that can be traced back is only tens of thousands of years, and there are many cultural faults caused by the great regression of civilizations during this period. The history of civilization in the old world has left a basket of mysteries that are difficult to solve, not to mention the doubly tossed state of the new world? Needless to say, the lucky ones who survived these catastrophes and passed them on to future generations have never been the case, even if later generations of historians have learned about the past through thick parchment books or ancient yellowed scrolls, at best, they can only gain a little bit of knowledge like seeing flowers in the fog.

"Do you know what that means?"

"There are too many possibilities, Your Majesty."

Asking his subordinates unsuccessfully, Luo Zhengdao was very dissatisfied, he didn't think that the predecessors of the pirate kings were the kind of literary and artistic young people who were full of artistic atmosphere and decadent style, and it was impossible for them to produce strong creations in this kind of ghost place that did not see the light of day for no reason**, these huge petroglyphs must be some kind of signpost pointing to the evidence of the overlord. It's just that he has to complete the interpretation of the rock paintings, which makes him have a headache when he thinks about it, why can't you hurry up and get straight to the point? Could it be that the Pirate King is still a title that requires a lot of brain teasers?

After complaining in his heart about the bad taste of the treasure burier, Luo Zhengdao turned his head to look at these magnificent petroglyphs, took a torch in the hand of his entourage and threw it off the cliff, and with the help of this faint firelight, he illuminated some of the petroglyphs located deeper.

If the ruins here appear in the surface world, it will definitely be a major discovery that can shake the world's archaeological and naturalist circles, the problem is that in this kind of underground space, it can only be regarded as a pearl, to correctly interpret the hints, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but feel a little anxious impulse in his heart
