Chapter 25: Bootstrapping (5/109)
In the big pit that Liu Zhi had dug up, two young men who had run over had already jumped in.
They had already received a hint from the old man to check what was inside this big pit, and if this was really the treasure that Liu Zhi was looking for, then there was no reason to only have such a small shield.
There's definitely something else down there.
The shield looks like an antique, and Ryuji can just take it, but if there are other treasures, like gold or something, then Ryuji can't just take it away.
The island is their treasure trove, and everything on the island is theirs.
Now there are old men dragging Yanagi, and they want to find what may be a treasure in the shortest possible time.
When the two young men came to the big pit, they quickly dug down, they were different from the sailors brought by Yanagi, their bodies had not undergone any modification, and they relied on their own strength to dig things here.
But they dug down with ease, and the dirt they dug out was not removed, but they just piled it aside and dug it down.
This will have some adverse effects on the subsequent excavation work, but these two don't care so much.
They soon dug up a bottle, and one of the young men picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was a boat in a bottle, and it was an old sailing ship.
Holding the bottle, the young man was startled, and he hurriedly threw the bottle in his hand.
"Hell, it's a ghost ship, it looks like it's something left over from hundreds of years ago."
Another young man picked up the discarded bottle, "You are stupid, isn't it just a bottle, what is there to be afraid of, now there are many people willing to collect this kind of bottle for decoration, such a bottle can be sold for at least 500 gold coins, and you see, how well this ship is made, it seems that there is sea water and storms in it." ”
The young man took the bottle and looked inside, and in his eyes it seemed as if the ship was alive, and it was moving back and forth in the sea and the storm, undulating, and occasionally there were traces of artillery.
The young man looked at it and slowly stretched out his hand to open the bottle.
When the man next to him saw this, he quickly pushed his hand away, grabbed the bottle at the same time, and threw it heavily.
With such a throw, the bottle was smashed on the spot, and a strong smell of sea came out of it.
And the boat in the bottle seemed to be gone.
Only then did the two young men react, and they almost fell asleep.
One of them looked at the scene in front of him with some horror: "Are we going to dig any more?" ”
"Can't dig any further, it's a ghost, see? That guy is a ghost too, and we can't get anything to do with ghosts. ”
The two discussed for a while, and hurriedly climbed out of the big pit and filled in the pit.
After filling it out, they quickly returned to the village and told the old man who was drinking the news.
At this time, Liu Zhi was already a little drunk, but he still saw the two young men coming.
Looking at the dirt on these two bodies, Liu Zhi was stunned for a moment, he was about to step forward and ask something, but he didn't expect the old man to come over immediately and say, "Come on, let's have another drink." ”
Liu Zhi was about to refuse, but the two young men had already disappeared.
For such a situation, Liu Zhi moved his hand, and a sky eye was released, and he quickly raised his perspective to see what was happening in front of him, as for the wine that the old man poured over, although Liu Zhi also held it in his hand, he didn't drink it directly in one gulp like before.
He sensed that there was something wrong with the island.
Soon, Ryuji found out that the big hole he had dug earlier had been filled.
This was quite a surprise, because Ryuji said that he would invite everyone to drink, and almost all the people in the village came, and they had no time to fill the hole.
Thinking back to the dirt on the two young men before, Liu Zhi had a guess in his heart that they must have gone to the big pit.
But what did they find?
Why rush over and fill in that big hole?
Liu Zhi had some thoughts in his heart, he thought about it, and directly used the soul extraction skill.
In the next moment, Ryuji saw a different scene.
He noticed that there seemed to be a trace of yin qi gushing out of the position of the big pit before.
There should be a gateway to the underworld.
However, the yin qi here is quite light, as if it is guiding something.
Liu Zhi thought about the strangeness of this world for a moment, turned his head and glanced at the old man who was standing beside him with a wine bottle, his face did not show the slightest expression, and he picked up the wine glass he had just drunk as soon as he raised his hand, and poured the wine himself.
When the old man saw Liu Zhi like this, he was a lot more relieved, and at this time, the old man also needed to observe the actions of other people, after all, this was the task given to them by the Sida Empire.
The old man didn't know that when he turned his head, Liu Zhi had already used some small means to process the wine to the ground.
At this time, the whole venue was full of alcohol, and Liu Zhi's small tricks did not attract anyone's attention.
The feast lasted for three hours, and did not slowly disperse until everyone had drunk high.
Ryuji was ostensibly helped to the Death Star by the shipbuilder.
In fact, when he walked towards the Death Star ship, Ryuji had already replaced himself with an undead, and he quickly headed towards the big pit he had dug earlier.
Arriving at this position, Ryuji saw the bottle that had been thrown aside at first glance.
The bottle had been smashed, but the smell of the sea was quite strong.
Ryuji didn't think anyone would use a wine bottle to fill seawater to come here to play, and it could be seen that there must be something wrong with this wine bottle.
"Could it be that this is the treasure?"
Ryuji thought about it for a while, and felt that something was not right, if this was a treasure, then he wouldn't have gotten any hints when he got the shield before.
And judging from the situation in front of him, Liu Zhi always feels that this treasure is being brought here by himself, in order to get this bottle?
Liu Zhi looked puzzled, he picked up the fragments of the bottle on the ground, and finally hesitated, but still tried to put the bottle together, wanting to see if there were any different clues on the bottle.
But the assembled bottle was no different from the rum bottle outside, and Ryuji couldn't tell the difference here.
He thought about it for a moment, watched as the sky slowly darkened, and finally he took the fragments of the bottle away and returned to the Death Star ship.
