Chapter Thirty-Eight: Ghost Island

"Hold on, brothers! Welcome to the dawn of dawn! ”

The captain shouted, and Dalin's three heavily armored battleships approached the Devil Shark, the flagship of the Bloodsail Pirates, at breakneck speed. Everyone let out a shout of excitement as their fleet commander, Dai Lin. Prodmore led them to a beautiful victory despite being at a disadvantage.

At this moment, three heavy warships rapidly approached the flagship of the Bloodsail Pirates. As they approached, they also fired heavy artillery fire.

Amid the roar of artillery fire, the flagship of the Bloodsail Pirates fought and retreated.

Ares couldn't see the other leader, but he was sure that the pirate leader was so angry that he wanted to defeat Dalein all his life, but the reality was that he was defeated by the admiral again and again. No matter how weak the opponent's fleet was, no matter how great the disparity in strength, he never won. Just like this time, with the information obtained in advance, twice as many ships as Dahlin were organized, and they were still defeated.

Under the sea of sunset, the Blood Sail Pirates retreated. Perhaps the heavens could not bear to wipe them out like this, but just as Dai Lin's fleet was in pursuit, the direction of the wind on the sea suddenly changed. Taking advantage of this strong wind, the Bloodsail pirates took advantage of the situation to escape. Their oarsmen were not as good as Dalin's men, but the sails were strong enough and the hull was small enough to escape quickly.

Finally, as the sun set, the enemy's fleet also disappeared into the vast sea.

It's just that Dalin's fleet was also damaged to a certain extent. Of the 50 warships, seven were sunk, and more than 10 were damaged, three of which were already in full damage, and if they were not found to repair the land as soon as possible, they would sink in a short time.

"We must find land as soon as possible!"

The tinkerers sent a signal from several of the badly damaged ships that they were completely powerless in such a situation.

Fortunately, Dai Lin still has a backhand. Before setting sail for the long distance, Dahlin gathered all the adventurers returning from the west and collected their charts. Although it is a private drawing, it is not very reliable, but in an emergency, it can still be used improvised.

These nautical maps clearly indicate the location of the islands along the way from Kurtilas to Karimdo. Some of these islands are the size of a village, and some may even disappear depending on the time, but for now, these small islands have become a lifesaver for the fleet. Damaged ships needed to be repaired at the shore, and Daelin was counting on the islands to find a source of fresh water. Even if you have plenty of fresh water before you go, you should still replenish it as much as possible along the way.

"Thirty nautical miles, I can assure you, thirty nautical miles from where we are now, there is an island where we can rest and replenish food and water."

An adventurer with a scar on his face barged into Dalin's conference room and offered Dalin his "rich" experience in ocean navigation with a ruffian face.

As he spoke, he respectfully handed his chart to the admiral.

"But the island you depicted isn't on other charts."

Dai Lin took the nautical chart, first glanced at it quickly, then quickly compared it with several other charts on the table, and soon found the problem in it. For the other islands, several charts show their location in much the same way, and the coordinates are not much different. That is, it can be determined that they are all real. But the islands are all very far from where the fleet is now, at least more than 100 nautical miles. Whether the damaged warship could survive until that time Dai Lin was uncertain. And this adventurer with a scar on his face, although there is an island very close to his current location on the chart he provided, but whether it exists, Dai Lin is not sure.

There are sometimes ghost islands in the ocean, which at some point will surface and actually exist, and at other times, it will be submerged by the sea and become an underwater island. Having worked with the sea all year round, Dai Lin knows this very well. And now, the nautical chart provided by this scar adventurer, the island depicted on it, could it be Ghost Island? That's what Dalin was pondering.

Because if it were, the fleet drove over and didn't find out, and then went to several other islands, it would inevitably take more time. That's not what Dai Lin wants to see. But if the island does exist, it can indeed salvage those crumbling warships.

In the large conference room, Admiral Dai Lin was smoking a pipe, his brows furrowed, and he hesitated.

Only the Scar Adventurer still looked confident. He almost patted his chest and vouched for his life.

But Dai Lin knew that this kind of drunkard, this kind of person who risked his life, he couldn't fully believe his words. Maybe it was just his luck that he came across the island when it came to the surface. And he himself didn't know that it was Ghost Island.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I just returned from there two months ago, and I brought a special product from that island, and lo and behold."

Seeing Dai Lin's hesitant appearance, Scarlang was a little anxious. He walked up to the admiral and pulled out a string of shiny "treasures" from his dirty pocket.

Now, the treasure in Scarman's mouth attracted everyone's attention.

Ares leaned over and watched in amazement. In the light of an oil lamp, these fish-scale-like things shimmered. Like a transparent gem. You can even see your own image from these transparent things. It looks very round and shiny. No wonder adventurers consider this thing a specialty, baby. It is conceivable that these strange things can definitely be sold as gems in the human world in the east. And the price is definitely not cheap.

It's just that these things that are sent to the table, the more Ares looks at them, the stranger they become. It didn't seem to be a stone, but more like something from some deep-sea creature, like fish scales...... Or rather, it's simply fish scales. A special type of fish scale, dozens of times larger than ordinary fish scales.

Dai Lin also picked up one of the scales and measured it carefully. Obviously, after many years of galloping on the sea, he has never seen such a thing. It seems to come from another world, but it really appears in front of you. The admiral had a puzzled look on his face.

"Not only is there a lot of flora and fauna, but it's also a good place to stop. The waves are not very large, and a variety of fish is abundant. My boat once fished a whole box of sardines there. Enough for me and my crew to eat for half a year. ”

The curious group took turns reading the strange "gems" while Scarro continued to froth at the mouth about his adventures. For such an adventurer who is eager for quick success, if he can get the trust and reward of Dalin, it is better for him to risk his life and sail out of the harbor a hundred times. As long as you can become the admiral's personal guide, you will have no worries about food and clothing in this life, and you will enjoy wealth and wealth.

However, just as everyone gradually gained trust in Brother Scar's words, Ares thought of something like an electric shock......
