Chapter 870: Alcatraz
Whew!
The sea was torn open, and the ship sped forward.
Even without the sails open, the speed is amazing.
There are many secrets contained in a treasure map, and a particular symbol, a few mysterious lines of poetry, or a riddle are all very important clues, and even the key to finding the treasure.
On this treasure map left by the Solo Pirates, there is also a lot of hidden information.
Among them, a few lines of poetry in the lower left corner, in conjunction with the course, reveal an undiscovered ocean current.
Of course, it would be biased to say that it has not yet been discovered, at least ...... The Solo Pirates succeeded in using it for their own use.
"The sea we passed through just now was full of deadly undercurrents, and passing ships avoided it...... Unexpectedly, with the use of this ocean current, it can be traversed unscathed. ”
Blackbeard couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.
Truly safe routes have been explored by generations of navigators with their lives.
For example, the golden route is the safest and fastest route that has been explored so far.
A slight change, I don't know how much effort it takes, represents a lot of loss of benefits.
There is also this newly opened route, which has found a way to safely cross that undercurrent with the help of ocean currents, and if it spreads, it will inevitably be another uproar.
Because unexplored seas inevitably mean more opportunities, and of course, with them, dangers.
Of course, the navigators of this era will not take these things seriously.
The only thing that can attract them to fight with their lives is the wonder of the world and the amazing wealth!
"With the help of ocean currents, we can run faster than a steamboat, and at this speed, it won't take us a few days to reach the treasure spot......"
Fang Yuan opened the compass and confirmed the next course.
Immediately, he snapped his fingers: "Bill...... Pay attention to greet guests! ”
"Understood!"
Several newly promoted oceanomancers also stood on the deck, working in unison to control the water.
Grunt! Grunt!
In the midst of the large number of whirlpools and bubbles, a huge black shadow appeared, which was a huge sea monster similar to a whale.
It is made of blue crystals, like a majestic mountain.
At this point, a roar came out somewhere.
There, a sea monster appeared, and it didn't dare to compete with the huge blue whale, so it swam away directly, avoiding a small trouble.
"The Transcendent Who Controls the Seas......"
Blackbeard, who had already seen this scene, was not surprised, but glanced at Fang Yuan meaningfully.
Among his subordinates, there are naturally transcendent beings, but it is impossible to drive them like this.
Only Fang Yuan, who had the key to promotion with extraordinary strength and could cultivate ordinary people into transcendent beings at the lowest cost, was qualified to dictate to them and didn't care.
After all, the promotion of an ocean warlock does not require any harsh conditions, and a few simple preparations are enough.
Even if the formula leaked in the future, Fang Yuan would definitely have already accumulated extremely terrifying strength.
This alone is enough to lay the foundations of a pirate governor.
Coupled with the ability and ambition of the other party, the future achievements are indeed limitless.
……
A few days later.
"It's here!"
Fang Yuan opened the monoculars, looked at a large island on the sea, and couldn't help but say slowly.
Hearing his words, the surrounding pirates immediately let out a burst of cheers.
"It is indeed the island recorded by the Solo treasure map!"
They got closer, and even Blackbeard and the other pirates could recognize it.
Because this island is really weird.
There is a tall volcano on the east and west sides, like the two horns of a demon, and although it has not yet erupted, it gives people a feeling of extreme danger.
"It's finally here, Alcatraz!"
Fang Yuan put away the treasure map: "The treasure place of the Solo pirates!" It is also very likely that the Sun is located......"
Due to the lack of a suitable port, the Red Lotus could not get close to the island, so it could only anchor far away in the sea and lay down many lifeboats.
The pirates sang pirate songs, shook the wood pulp in unison, and slowly headed towards their targets.
Alcatraz Island is dotted with coconut palms, and behind it is a tropical jungle.
"Let's go! Be careful! ”
Fang Yuan opened the treasure map and pointed in a direction.
"No problem, such an island has some poisonous insects and beasts in it at most!"
The butcher stepped forward with a big grin and used a huge machete to clear the way.
All the intricate tangled vines, and the jagged barbed grass, seemed to him as if they didn't exist.
His whole person was like a tank opening the way, rampage, crushing a passage.
"Light the torch and be on guard!"
After entering the forest, the light became darker and darker, and Fang Yuan's face became solemn.
"The area of this island is still large enough, almost equivalent to two or three counties in Innsman......
When Blackbeard saw this scene, he was thoughtful: "It should take us half a day to a day to reach our destination, and this kind of place, with enough food and clear water, seems to be enough for some large animals......"
Burst!
While Blackbeard spoke, Fang Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Many thin arrows came and went without a trace, and they were killed in front of the team in an instant.
The butcher snorted, and stuck three or four long needles in his shoulder.
"Damn bastard!"
He roared, and the giant knife seemed to glow with blue light, and slashed into the dense forest on the left, forming a half-moon shape.
Wherever they passed, the grass and trees were lazy and broken, and several sneak attackers were cut in half, and blood and intestines flowed all over the ground.
After doing all this, the butcher's mountain-like figure suddenly fell backwards.
This pirate, who was originally as strong as a cow and had recently been promoted to transcendental, was brought down by a few small blow arrows.
"You ...... Go and chase the sneak attackers away! ”
Fang Yuan stepped forward, opened the butcher's eyelids, and nodded again: "It's just that I fainted, it looks like I have been hit with a high-intensity anesthetic......"
In fact, it is the physique of a butcher, if you change to an ordinary person and encounter this dose of anesthetic, it is possible to die directly.
And as the pirates howled forward, Fang Yuan also saw the true face of the sneak attacker.
The dark skin, the barely clothed body, and the colorful paint on the face made Fang Yuan know that these were the most common natives in the Golden Sea.
They are said to have a cruel and lazy habit, and even skin and bone, mix spices with their captives, and make a delicious meal.
And lazy, it is that they are in the tribe, sometimes they do not work for a day, because the climate here is too blessed, just throw a little seed, you can grow a year's harvest, and even without these, go to the woods to pick fruits, or go to the sea to spearfish, you will never starve to death!
Because of this species, this kind of native slave is not even very much looked down on Blackbeard, and of course, the price is also very cheap.
As the biggest slave trader in the Nightmare Sea, Blackbeard knows everything about these natives: "These natives think...... After eating their companion, the soul of that companion will be with them! So in many native tribes, cannibalism is not a shocking thing......"
"And their worship, ancestors and heroic spirits, and of course, there are some mysterious beings...... Necromancers are also very fond of them, so the power structure of a large native tribe is often very chaotic...... Priests and warrior chiefs, as well as chiefs, will have disputes. ”
"Generally speaking, the native tribes have a very strong sense of territory, and when they step into their territory, they are regarded as automatically forming mortal enemies and becoming their prey!"
……
Blackbeard is a great connoisseur of slave hunting.
Just by looking at a few captives and their equipment, we can estimate the size of this indigenous tribe, which is definitely more than a thousand!
Such a group is already qualified to support a witch doctor or a sacrifice, the former's witchcraft and venom can help the native warriors hunt better, and the sacrifice, not to mention, if you can connect a generous existence, it will definitely be of great benefit to the race.
"A large race of more than a thousand people?!"
Fang Yuan listened, but he was a little strange: "Solo Pirate Group, since you chose this place to bury the treasure, you must have already cleaned up the island before, right?" ”
"But there is also a possibility that these natives were deliberately left behind as guards, or rather...... Clue! ”
Blackbeard smiled.
"That's ......"
Fang Yuan stepped forward, and his pupils seemed to emit a fine light.
With the methods of these pirates, those native captives were naturally unable to resist, and soon, one by one, their eyes were foggy, and they spouted the truth.
However, Fang Yuan's group is really not very proficient in the native language.
If you think about it with your toes, you can know that these indigenous tribes who live on a desert island and have not communicated with the outside world for hundreds or thousands of years will develop into a strange language.
Fortunately, with Blackbeard, he was able to understand some of the meanings with a guess.
When he got to the back, Fang Yuan was also impatient, and directly grabbed a captive and asked them to take him to the tribe.
The tribe of these natives is, in their words, 'Chikonuud', which translates to the land of miracles.
According to the hapless captive, the stone houses they lived in were once the dwellings of the gods.
Fang Yuan and the others naturally scoffed at this.
But when they really saw the native tribe, they couldn't help but exclaim.
Step out of the rainforest and the view is suddenly wide.
In front of Fang Yuan and them, there was a huge and continuous complex of buildings, with delicate stone bricks, which together formed a series of palaces with distinct styles and exquisite delicacy, and even the pavement was paved with stone slabs.
At this moment, all pirates can be sure that this is definitely not a building that can be made by indigenous civilizations!
