Chapter 12: The Real Captain
The bloodshed of the sea storm finally passed, and only a pile of pirate corpses and two broken ships remained. Qingfeng walked onto the deck and glanced at Qing Chi meaningfully, "Oh, it turns out that you are not omnipotent. Qing Chi touched his nose and muttered stupidly, "Ahem, I've made up for it." ”
Quite a few good things were pulled out of the pirate corpses. These pirates were quite wealthy, and each of them had at least a few hundred gold coins on them. Qing Chi's luck is very good, the pirate elite monster burst out a level 70 purple pirate leather armor, with a constitution of 250 and an armor value of 120., with a 30% chance to reduce half of the damage when attacked. Although he is wearing dark gold quality equipment, his level is already much worse after all, and he is not as good as this leather armor on the whole. Qing Chi unceremoniously picked up the leather armor and put it on himself, and his blood and defense increased a lot.
Duke wiped his sweat with palpitations, "Oh my God, these goddamn pirates are dead. ”
The ship sailed for another half hour during the night, during which time it encountered some lower-ranking sea monsters, and after passing through the thick sea fog, it sailed past a black reef beach before finally reaching its destination. It is a small triangular island with tall trees and very dense vegetation.
After Captain Duke docked the ship, he said mysteriously, "Actually, I was looking for that pile of gold." Here's how it goes. My first mate betrayed me and tried to secretly kill me and throw me overboard. But my life was so great that I didn't die, and I swam back with courage, and was rescued by another ship on the way. Before I fainted, I heard about their evil plans. They faked the illusion that the merchant ship had been attacked, and then deviated from the ship's course and found such a nameless island in an attempt to steal the treasure. Many years later, I discovered the secret of this ship. This ghost ship will come back. Now I'm going to look for my gold, and you can explore as much as you like. With that, Captain Duke jumped off the ship and disappeared as if flying.
Several people looked at each other. The moment he disembarked, a strange glint flashed in his eyes, and he clung to a tree on the island. The same is true of the water color light year, and even the passer-by, who has always been taciturn, is happy to go crazy and hug the tree and not let go. Qing Chi twitched the corners of his mouth, inexplicably feeling that the situation was a little weird. These people are like being caught in Gu, but they are just a few trees, is it necessary to be so happy?
However, the moment he touched the trunk of the tree, Qing Chi let out a soft "huh". The trunk is very smooth and straight, and it looks very hard. Qingfeng didn't care about his image as a president, hugged the tree and rubbed it, and snorted towards Qing Chi: "You Eastern Continent naturally won't understand how precious these trees are!" It's called a sea tree, and it's as strong as a stone. Whether it is used to build a house or make weapons, it is a good material, and each piece of marine tree log can be sold for more than 500 gold coins. This tree is just a few logs, and there are probably a thousand of them on the whole island, and I'm going to get rich, brothers! Hurry up and write down the coordinates and the sailing route. It's time to start running business. ”
Qing Chi blinked. There is also a way to play in the Western Continent called Running Merchant, which is not available in other continents. Due to the difference between the scarcity and abundance of materials in each sea area, players in the Western Continent need to bring sufficient materials to the areas where materials are scarce through their own ships or merchant ships that lease NPCs, and get the corresponding gold coins after deducting a certain tax rate. NPCs' cargo ships can only travel to and from fixed sailing routes, while the player's own merchant ships are not restricted by sailing routes. Players are free to acquire and sell items obtained from exploring some of the unnamed islands. Apparently lucky, Breezy found a small island with no name, and it was of great value.
Duke is gone. The moonlight peeked out of the island, and the surroundings were silent and bright.
Qing Chi walked around the island for a while, and suddenly found several nameless tombstones in the jungle. A few lines were engraved on it: "The afterglow of the setting sun sank to the bottom of the sea, along with those treasures." ”
Each tombstone was excavated, and one of the tombstones revealed a white skeleton. Qing Chi squatted down and rummaged for a while, and found a silver ring on the skeleton: "To dear Duke." ”
Duke's skeleton? In this case, the bones were the captain and crew of the ship. The Duke from before that seemed to be an impostor. Could it be that he is the first mate who betrayed? Qing Chi carefully observed the surroundings, there were wet traces on the edge of the grass, and the footprints disappeared on the edge of the island. It seems that the fake Captain Duke has dived to the bottom of the sea, and the ship's treasure lies at the bottom of the island.
Sending a message to the team's channel, Qing Chi put on an underwater breathing helmet and jumped into the sea. As Qing Chi swam, he raised his left hand and cast a flash spell to illuminate it. You can see it faintly under the dim water. There were a few "pops" one after another, and it seemed that they had already gone to the sea with a clear breeze.
After swimming around the bottom of the sea for a long time, Qingchi finally found a rock with a difference. I missed it because the light was too dark. After activating the mechanism, the underwater island moved out of a dark passage that led directly to the interior of the island. Several people gestured, leaned together, and slowly swam in.
Ten minutes later, the passage came to an end, and the sea gradually disappeared. It appears that this passage was dug under water and leads directly into the interior of the island. The air under the water was rather dull, large rocks blocked the gaps in the seawater, and a fork in the road ahead. After a moment's hesitation, the team chose the relatively bright path. After digging into the last cavern, we finally reached a dug stone chamber. Dilapidated wooden boxes are everywhere. Qing Chi opened one of the boxes and found that it was full of gold coins. Sure enough, it was that shipment!
"There's really a treasure under the water. Get rich! Breeze spoke as he shoved the gold coins into his backpack. Qing Chi twitched the corners of his mouth, wondering if his fan sisters would be disappointed when they saw the righteous and awe-inspiring, ice-clear and jade-clean president become what they are now. The breeze was solemn, "The development of the guild needs money, and we are too poor." I won't use these gold coins to make girls, I promise you. ”
After a few money fans emptied all the gold coins, they couldn't get enough of it. In the next stone room, the floor was also filled with worn chests and gold coins. Qingfeng was about to happily run over to pick up the money, but Qing Chi suddenly frowned, "Have you noticed that the stone chamber here is getting shorter and shorter." "The hunter is very sensitive to the change of distance.
Qingfeng paused, "I think I think it's a little bit like that. Wait, has the amount of gold in your backpack increased? Qing Chi blinked, looked at his backpack, counted it, and seemed to find that the amount had not changed. They had picked up gold coins for half a day before, but the amount had not increased.
"It's a trap, we've fallen into illusion." The breeze sighed. Qing Chi suddenly realized that when he entered, the passage seemed to be painted with pirate marks. The light under the sea was too dim, so they naturally entered the relatively bright path at the first time, ignoring the other dark cave.
