The territory of the New World is extremely vast, and the number of uninhabited desert islands located in the Seven Seas is as bright as the stars in the sky, and the pirates trying to hide their treasures can find a random place to dig a pit and bury their things.

For example, the remote archipelago that appeared in front of Luo Zhengdao's eyes, far away from the normal trade routes, was surrounded by more than 30 islands and reefs of various sizes that were clustered together by shallow waters that gradually changed from azure to light green, the largest main island was several times larger than the area of Wake Reef, and the smallest reef could only allow the Yangwei to dock on the side to rest. This archipelago includes various types of islands that are more common in the sea of stars, and the underwater part of the individual islands also hides caves and tunnels, and the surface part is covered with lush primeval rainforest, which is no less prosperous than the Amazon and Congo River basins in the old world.

In the chart room, he repeatedly discussed with everyone the hidden tips for studying the treasure map, and Luo Zhengdao, who felt a headache, muttered:

"Pay attention to the index! The treasure will definitely leave an information index for the followers to pursue, we have to find the most obvious markers, everyone acts in groups, remember to pay attention to safety. ”

The ancient treasure map has a huge X covering the entire archipelago, and it is basically impossible to expect this treasure map to give more detailed explanations, and the rest of the work can only be for treasure hunters to search for clues on these islands on their own, and of course they will inevitably encounter risk factors.

"Beware, it's the Naga!"

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

The sentinel of the landed expedition issued a warning, and arrows like flying locusts were already shooting at the face, crouching on the ground and holding up a round shield to cover his body, Luo Zhengdao scolded angrily:

"I hate these crawlies the most! Musketeers, destroy them at once. ”

Although similar in appearance to humanoids or humanoid intelligence, there are many species that lack civilization and civilization in the New World. There will often be a race, such as the goblin First Empire, that has been left untouched and suddenly silenced for a few years, and there will also be new races that have luckily entered the ranks of civilization and civilization for some reason. Judging whether the opponent is an enemy or a wild monster based solely on the appearance of an alien race and whether they can speak is a very head-scratching thing for adventurers with a limited level of education, and they are not well-informed naturalists, how can they have this kind of ability! Relatively speaking, the easiest way to deal with an attack is to kill the opponent all, so that there is no need to worry about it.

After the roar of gunfire, the surviving Naga under the violent fire scattered, Luo Zhengdao did not forgive their thoughts, and directly ordered to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, or continue to operate in this nameless archipelago for a long time, leaving these Naga who have already formed a grudge is too dangerous.

"Your Highness, we found a stone slab in the Naga Lair."

Collecting strange and rare gadgets, which may be a common hobby of many intelligent creatures, and the crows of the old world often get shiny knick-kams into their lairs, and dragons are said to love to sleep on gold coins and precious stones, and as for whether these rumors are true, adventurers who have been to the dragon's den and left alive are extremely rare lucky ones, and whoever wants to ask them in person is much more difficult than listening to some minstrel sing a little song in a tavern. Knight novels, which are almost classified as negative in credibility, often take the trouble to tell the cliché story of a heroic adventurer who slays an evil dragon and returns home with a large treasure trove of treasure, rather than first-hand sources that are difficult to trace.

"Cups?"

On the front of this slate is carved a simple water glass, which looks indistinguishable from the handleless wooden cup in the New World Tavern, and when you turn it over and take a closer look, the reverse side of the slate is a spider's web-like pattern of intricate lines, and people with dense phobia are expected to get sick at the first glance.

"Do you think it's a Naga zuò?"

When it came time for Luo Zhengdao to make a statement, he did not hesitate to express his meanness, and said indifferently:

"No, I doubt those guys have that kind of intelligence."

"So what's next?"

With a confident look, Luo Zhengdao touched his chin and said:

"Everyone continue to search on this island, don't miss any corner, keep your eyes open, the first person to find the anomaly can be rewarded with fifty gold coins."

Treasure hunters must correctly understand the true intentions of the treasure burier, and it is common for them to make difficulties and obstacles, but if they don't want any newcomers to find the treasure, then they don't need to work hard to make a treasure map, or leave clues and stories for people to follow, and just throw things in a deserted place. The bury of treasure is essentially a wicked person who uses the harassment and torture he has suffered to his juniors even more, so most treasure hunts are very dangerous, and once all the preset difficulties are solved, the rewards will be equally breathtaking.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Got it! ”

Under the shade of the trees in front, the fissure tens of meters long is obviously a strange product of natural generation, and the hole at the bottom of the fissure, which is large enough for three people to walk together, is unlikely to be a natural creation. It is hidden beneath the lush vegetation, and if it were not for a dragnet-style search, it would be impossible for ordinary people to notice anything strange here.

"Send a few groups of spearheads in and explore the way."

"Your Highness, it's a labyrinth inside, and the terrain is too complicated."

Hearing his subordinates' reply, Luo Zhengdao's attitude became cautious, and he turned his head and said:

"Hmm, is it a labyrinth? Vena, you give me the slate. ”

Taking the stone slab from the half-elf beauty's hand, Luo Zhengdao carefully looked at it and tried to find a clue, this heavy square white stone slab about a meter square was hard and solid, and trying to tap it with his fingers would make a crisp sound similar to the impact of metal. After thousands of years of wind and rain erosion, there are still no signs of wear, even the colored part of the cup pattern on the front is only slightly mottled and faded, and the lines on the reverse side that resemble the wiring of integrated circuit boards, and the fine lines like hair are clearly distinguishable. Luo Zhengdao took the slate in his hand, and it was easier to see some doorways with a targeted idea.

These intertwined intricate lines are clearly a maze diagram, probably one of the clues that the predecessors left on the island for the reference of those who came after them, and somehow they were somehow managed to get into their lair by the Naga.

"It's unconventional!"

Vina Dubov looked at the change in Luo Zhengdao's expression and asked with concern:

"What the hell is going on, Will?"

Hearing the sound, Luo Zhengdao put the stone slab on the ground, pointed to the lines on it and said:

"You see, the lines are stacked on top of each other, and if it's a passage, it's too close apart."

"Maybe there's another explanation, let's analyze it when the scout team returns!"

"Well, then wait a little longer."

Waiting was more painful than dangerous, and Luo Zhengdao quickly realized this feeling, and he paced back and forth restlessly, and his nearby subordinates were also a little anxious.

"Your Highness, do you want to send someone in again?"

Luo Zhengdao hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then made a decisive decision and said:

"Tie it to your waist with a rope, don't go too deep, and call for help immediately when you find the situation, do you hear clearly?"

Several team members who were ordered to go deep into the cave had strict expressions like martyrs who were about to die on the battlefield, and the captain who took the lead had tight facial skin, as if he was bitter and hateful, and said:

"Yes, Your Highness, as you command."

After a while, the rescue rope was pulled hard, and the people shouted and pulled the rope, pulling out all the people who had entered the cave. The short-breathing captain fell to the ground and gasped for a moment, then got up and said:

"Your Highness, it's so scary inside the labyrinth, as soon as we entered, we were separated, and we couldn't see anyone else, so we could only grope forward alone."

After listening to this short oral report with a trembling voice, Luo Zhengdao turned to look at the half-elf beauty and said:

"Vina, what do you think is causing this?"

"I ......"

Vina Dobov hesitated and shook her head, and Sariel Byrne, who was beside her, suddenly said:

"Maybe it's the distorted space, not many people know about this kind of legendary-level magic, this labyrinth is not simple!"

Yaling Overseer is not a legal professional, although the guess she gave is not unreasonable, it would be too childish to judge it, and Luo Zhengdao, who had no choice at this time, asked rhetorically:

"Is it dangerous?"

"It depends on what the mage using this magic hopes to achieve, judging from the maze and hidden treasure, it is more likely to be harmless, but it is not ruled out that there are other dangerous factors hidden."

Luo Zhengdao pondered for a while and said:

"That means you can't count on others if you want to get the proof of the overlord, and the candidate must try it himself, right?"

Hearing this, Sariel nodded and said:

"You can say the same thing."

Closing his eyes and thinking, Luo Zhengdao's expression quickly became calm, and when he opened his eyes again, he said in a firm tone:

"Okay, I'll go in and have a look."

Vina Dubov next to her said with concern:

"It's dangerous, you have to be careful."

Luo Zhengdao said with a smile while taking off his wide robe and changing into a tight-fitting outfit that was more convenient for movement:

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Since this labyrinth hidden under the island has forbidden the way for latecomers to use crowd tactics to obtain the evidence of the hegemon, it proves that it is very possible to find the right place, and it has come to this point, Luo Zhengdao can't turn around and leave, let's enter Baoshan empty-handed! So, having prepared the necessary equipment and supplies for the expedition, he turned his head to look at his men around him, and said:

"Don't stay here, but camp near where it is good to defend until I come out."

"Yes, Your Highness."
