"What is this place?" Romon looked curiously at the island that suddenly appeared in front of him, apparently he and his father did not know about the existence of this island. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The four Courage class ships line along the coastline of numerous small islands, which come alive in the sun, with turquoise forests, babbling streams, and animals roosting near the golden sands.

"It's a great place, and it's perfect for a vacation!"

Yi Xiaoge clasped his hands and said, there is nothing more pleasant than surviving after a disaster, if last night's storm was a little more intense, then his preparation for more than a month would be in vain, not only that, but he would also lose a group of excellent navigators such as Luo Meng.

"Romon, can you still tell where we are?"

Yi Xiaoge asked Luo Meng that their destination was the east, and that was the mission of this voyage.

"Let me see...... Oh...... I think we deviated from our original course by about 120 nautical miles! ”

The storm caused them to follow the ghostly ghost ship all the way away, but fortunately they saw the island and could resupply some fresh water and fruit along the way. There is certainly no shortage of wild and delicious fruit on these small islands.

Just as everyone was about to find the best supply point, a message came from the auxiliary ship in front.

"Your Majesty, the Pioneer Ship Lookout reports that a large island has been spotted 2.5 nautical miles ahead!"

Luo Meng received the signal and immediately reported it to Yi Xiaoge.

"Big Island? How big is it? ”

"I don't know, it's definitely much bigger than Tianya Island."

Only ten minutes later, Yi Xiaoge and everyone else saw the big island reported by the lookout at the same time. Surprisingly, the island is not as beautiful and charming as they imagined. On the contrary, the whole island has a reddish-brown appearance, and it is even smoking!

"That's right! It's smoking! Romon put down the binoculars and said in amazement: "I didn't expect there to be an active volcano on this island!! And it is no more than three months since the last eruption. ”

"Do you still have research on geological phenomena?" Yi Xiaoge said unexpectedly.

Romon behaved in a very ordinary way, saying: "A little dabbling, in fact, this is some of the basic knowledge that a navigator should master, and it is always good to know a little more." ”

The smoke from the eruption has disappeared, and thick smoke is still rising from the crater at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, and the cooling of the magma has turned the entire volcano and the surrounding area for several kilometers into darkness, and the smoke and dust have made it difficult for vegetation to survive for tens of kilometers. Theoretically, trees are more likely to grow near the volcano because the magma cools down, or the ash also contains a lot of growth-promoting components, but the volcano is too active to give life a chance to relax.

Yi Xiaoge stood on the deck and watched the big ship slowly move around the island, and when they rounded the reddish-brown land, a piece of green appeared in front of people's eyes, which was particularly eye-catching against the background of the surrounding scorched earth.

"Go there!" Yi Xiaoge hurriedly gave the order to dock, and the four ships immediately began to accelerate.

When they were fully close, a bay hidden behind a towering cliff appeared in front of the people, and even more amazingly, they saw the white ghost ship that had shown them the way in the darkness last night.

"It's a ghost ship!"

Immediately someone shouted, and at the same time someone shouted: "Look, there are people on the shore!" ”

Yi Xiaoge looked along the bay, and sure enough, he saw dozens of wooden houses more than two hundred meters from the shore, all of which were supported by thick tree stumps, one or two meters above the ground. From time to time, figures flickered nearby, and around the house there were many drying grounds and shelves, with some jerky and dried fruits hanging from them.

"Your Majesty, shall we go in?" Romon asked.

"Of course go in, why not? The fleet is half-sailed to the shore, and no one is allowed to carry or use weapons! ”

Yi Xiaoge guessed that it might be another system island that no one cared about. Judging from past experience, there must be some background to this island.

The people on the shore soon spotted Yi Xiaoge's expedition fleet, and they gathered on the shore, but another group of people was even more conspicuous. On the humble dock where the ghost ship was docked, a group of people in fancy dress kept shouting and shouting, their faces smeared with various paints, machetes, swords, and more old flintlock pistols. There are blacks, whites, and there are people who look like local natives. One of them, with long hair and a burly white man, stood out in particular, with two delicate and beautiful short-barreled flintlock pistols stuck at his waist. The two flintlock muskets had a double-barreled charge, and although the range was certainly poor, the firepower was enough to kill a single shot. Judging from the craftsmanship and the gold and silver ornaments used, it should be a luxury that only the nobles of the palace are entitled to, and it is not known how he obtained it.

In addition, there were two small-caliber ship solid guns on the dock, and Yi Xiaoge had basically guessed the identity of this group of people.

The four ships slowly approached the shore, and compared to the ghost ship that was only fifty meters long, the Spirit class stood like a giant beside it. This also attracted onlookers from the crowd on the shore, if it weren't for the fact that the courage class was not equipped with artillery, it is estimated that they would not let their people dock, otherwise the village would be gone with a salvo.

Someone on the shore quickly pushed the gangway, Yi Xiaoge walked down first, he was not afraid of any danger, if there was danger, he would not be able to run, Luo Meng continued to go down, once there was danger, he would be the first to protect Yi Xiaoge and leave.

The long-haired white man walked over from the path that everyone had left behind, stretched out his right hand full of gold rings, and said with a smile: "Welcome guests from afar, my name is Joseph, and I am the owner of this ghost island. Behind me are my retinue and the islanders. ”

"System owner?" Yi Xiaoge said secretly.

"Are you sure it's not a pirate?"

"Forehead ......"

Rumon suddenly burst out when he heard Joseph's words, and suddenly the atmosphere around him became awkward, and everyone looked at Romon expressionlessly. Yi Xiaoge reacted and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry everyone, we encountered pirates when we came, and we experienced a storm last night, and my friend was frightened and spoke upside down haha." ”

Yi Xiaoge glanced at Luo Meng after speaking, Joseph didn't have much expression on his face after listening to Yi Xiaoge's words, and said with that smiling face: "This friend said with a smile: "This friend laughed, although we are armed, but we never kill innocents indiscriminately, in fact, we have always only robbed the rich and helped the poor, punished the traitors and eliminated the evil to feed the people on Ghost Island." ”

After speaking, Joseph faced Yi Xiaoge and said, "In fact, we are very peace-loving, just like we saved you last night!" ”

Sure enough, it was them, and only veteran local drivers like them knew how to dodge the storm.

"Huh!? Are you sure! Thanks to the old driver...... Bah! Thank you, Owner, for saving your life. Yi Xiaoge said excitedly.
