Chapter 311: Treasure Map
In the face of this terrifying arrow, Xia Hao's entire mind was concentrated. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xia Hao tried hard to dodge, but he still couldn't get rid of the pursuit of this sharp arrow, as if with a tracking function, no matter how he moved and dodged, the arrow seemed to have eyes, and followed Xia Hao closely.
Sharp arrows fly like flies, and they come in the blink of an eye.
Death, so close, there is only the sound of the arrow breaking through the air and Xia Hao's heartbeat between heaven and earth.
The arrow was almost touching Xia Hao's forehead, and a bead of sweat the size of a bean slid down Xia Hao's sideburns, and Xia Hao had no choice but to summon the divine guard to help fight.
Shenwei appeared in front of Xia Hao in an instant, and raised the golden gun with all his might, emitting a golden light, and slammed into the sharp arrow that came fiercely!
Rumble!
The majestic momentum like a violent wind flew away, Xia Hao's figure was unstable for a while, and he fell to the ground, and the divine guard, who had always been invincible, was directly pierced through his body by this arrow, dissipating invisible!
The Divine Guard was killed with a single blow!
Xia Hao was shocked, the power of this arrow was so sharp, I don't know who the master hidden on Dolly's warship is?
Above the ship, Dolly and the other pirates looked behind them with respectful expressions, and there stood a figure who was clearly the master of the arrow.
Xia Hao was very much looking forward to the master who could shoot such a powerful arrow, and looked back at Dolly and their gaze, and finally saw the man's face clearly.
The man was tall and thin, his eye sockets were deep and hollow, his cheekbones were as high as clouds, his nose bones were sharp like arrows, his lips were thin and paper-thin, and his eyes were gloomy.
"Thin bamboo pole, what is the ability to hide in the dark and suddenly cast cold arrows? There's a kind of one-on-one! Xia Hao shouted, although he didn't want to face such an enemy, but if he didn't do so, Lei Meng's situation would be even more dangerous, so Xia Hao could only take action against the most powerful opponent.
The thin bamboo pole stared at Xia Hao, his eyes were full of wonder, he didn't expect that he would meet such a powerful opponent here, he shouted at the others for a while, and then waved his hand, and the others all rushed towards Lei Meng and the others, while he himself stood face to face with Xia Hao.
"Ignorant child, when you meet the 'Arrow God' Kus, you can be caught!" The fat man shouted coldly. The thin bamboo pole glanced at the fat man, and the frightened fat man shrank his head, then stopped making a sound, and rushed towards Raymond and the others with a smoke.
"Be careful!" Raymond reminded loudly.
At this time, Xia Hao finally saw the bow of the thin bamboo pole, which was a very ordinary wooden bow, but when the bow was raised, Xia Hao felt that the momentum of the whole person of the thin bamboo pole changed suddenly.
"It's really good to be able to block my full strength!" As the thin bamboo pole spoke, he raised his hand and shot out an arrow light, with a sharp and incomparable momentum, which made it impossible to avoid, but Xia Hao intuitively felt that this arrow was 108,000 miles different from just now.
Xia Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the white light, and he also took out a longbow and aimed at the sharp arrow that was galloping in the air, seeing that the sharp arrow shot by Xia Hao was about to hit the arrow of the arrow god, he didn't expect the sharp arrow shot by the arrow god to split in two, and miraculously split in the air, striking again!
Hidden arrows in the arrows, I have to say that the archery of this thin bamboo pole has reached the point of miraculous skills, such a magical archery is absolutely unguardable, just imagine, if you thought you blocked this arrow, but suddenly there was an arrow, it will definitely catch people off guard, and the square inch is chaotic.
Xia Hao couldn't dodge either, he casually switched out a shield, and held the shield in front of him with both hands. After the arrow collided with the shield, there was a crisp sound, and Xia Hao's hands were numb, but he finally blocked it.
Xia Hao also finally determined that compared with Fang Cai's earth-shattering arrow, the attack of the arrow god Kusi this time was not so sharp. Xia Hao guessed that maybe Kus's killing arrow just now used a certain skill, which is why the power was so powerful.
Thinking of this, Xia Hao was slightly relieved, if every attack of the arrow god was as sharp as the first arrow, he would not have to fight, he would just turn around and run.
After Xia Hao blocked this arrow, he immediately combined with the big toad immortal and rushed towards the arrow god Kusi, fighting against such a superb archery opponent, and only after getting close could he establish his own advantage. Obviously, Kus, the thin bamboo pole arrow god, also knew this, so as soon as he saw Xia Hao rushing over, he quickly retreated and shot arrows at Xia Hao, but the power was not as good as the previous two.
Although the arrow god Kusi was a little difficult to deal with, Xia Hao was not completely powerless to fight back. Xia Hao has tried his best, but none of the water cannonballs of the big toad immortal have hit the target.
Of course, the arrow god Kus was by no means happy, he was embarrassed under Xia Hao's pursuit. On the other side, Dolly and Raymond are also chess opponents, killing in full swing, and those villagers in order to defend their homeland, they burst out with powerful power, and for a time they were inseparable from the pirates.
The battle at the entrance of the village alarmed more villagers, and the young men joined the battle, but they were poorly armed, and it was difficult to withstand such a vicious group of pirates. They often fought with Dolly's pirate group, and they were usually on par, but this time Dolly was menacing, not only did the number of pirates increase greatly, but also with the help of masters like the arrow god Kus, who obviously wanted to break through the village in one fell swoop.
Although the arrow god Kus was entangled by Xia Hao, and Dolly was also blocked by Raymond, those pirates were not vegetarians, and as the battle continued, the morale of the villagers fell, and the pirates still had the upper hand.
Just as the pirates were about to use pirate mines to break through the village, suddenly a group of men and horses came out, led by Ed, who had fought with Xia Hao without a victory, and as soon as they appeared, they directly targeted the pirates brought by Dolly.
"Ed, it's really insulting to your dignity as a pirate that you helped these villagers deal with me, you don't deserve to be a pirate!" Dolly yelled angrily when he saw Eddard's move.
"Dolly, you shameless man, how dare you talk to me about the dignity of pirates?" Ed yelled disdainfully and waved his men into battle.
With Eddard's gang joining, the battle situation immediately became different, and the pirates brought by Dolly were suddenly in trouble. Seeing that nothing could be done, Dolly slashed back Raymond with a knife, jumped backwards and shouted, "Withdraw!" ”
The pirates immediately retreated, and the arrow god Kus also turned around and ran towards the location of the warship, and he turned back to Xia Hao and shouted to Xia Hao as he ran: "Boy, when we meet next time, we will definitely kill you with an arrow!" ”
Dolly's ship turned on again, and the pirate flag fluttered and faded away.
"Let's go too!" Ed waved his hand and left first.
Raymond and Ed are obviously old acquaintances, but the relationship between the two sides does not seem to be harmonious, and Raymond has no gratitude for Ed's help.
"What the hell is this guy trying to do?" Xia Hao asked as he looked in the direction Ed had left.
Raymond snorted coldly and said, "These pirates are here for that illusory treasure map, this pirate named Ed has been living on the island for a while. ”
"A treasure map that doesn't exist?" Xia Hao looked at Raymond in surprise.
Raymond nodded and said, "I don't know when there has been such a rumor among pirates, saying that there is a treasure on Donglai Island, and our clan has a treasure map in our hands, so pirates continue to hear about it." We've tried our best to explain this, but the pirates aren't giving up. ”
After the pirates retreated, Raymond left some villagers to continue to keep guard, and he returned to the village with Xia Hao, where they met the patriarch Maurice.
System: You block the attack of the arrow god Kus, help the village repel the pirates, and increase the opinion of the patriarch Morris towards you by 100 points.
When Xia Hao heard this, he knew that this trip to Donglai Island had finally made a breakthrough.
Generally speaking, if a player has a friendship with an NPC of 100 points, it means that the relationship between the two parties is clear.
"You helped us guard the village, please accept my Maurice!" The patriarch bent down and saluted Xia Hao.
Xia Hao waved his hand again and again, and said, "Patriarch, this is killing me, I just hate that I didn't annihilate all the pirates!" ”
Morris sighed and said to Xia Hao: "During this time, the pirates have become more and more fierce, I am afraid that more and more pirates will come to hear about it, and then our village will be even more dangerous!" At that time, the villagers will suffer even more, and it seems that we will have to move away from Donglai Island. ”
"That's fine, so that the rumors that you have a treasure map in your hands will be shattered." Xia Hao said.
Patriarch Morris shook his head and said, "Unless someone really finds the treasure on the island, this legend will live on. ”
"Rumors are harmful!" Xia Hao sighed.
Morris was silent for a moment and said, "The treasures on Donglai Island are not all rumors! Some time ago, a group of pirates suffered heavy losses in battle with the enemy, so they were exiled to this Donglai Island, many of them were seriously injured, I met them on an outing, and was forced to help them treat their injuries, that group of pirates because of their lack of strength, so when they left, they buried all the treasures they had looted as pirates somewhere on the island, and prepared to collect them later, but for some reason, rumors of treasures on Donglai Island spread, and this brought disaster to my people. ”
Only then did Xia Hao know why even Raymond didn't know the secret of the treasure on the island, if it weren't for his high enough intimacy with Morris, I'm afraid he would be doomed to return empty-handed this time.
"Patriarch, where did those pirates stay on the island in the first place?" Xia Hao asked.
Morris thought for a moment and said, "The place where they once stayed, now occupied by Ed's pirates, is northeast of the river formed by the waterfall, and there are several makeshift wooden huts. ”
After Xia Hao inquired clearly, he immediately understood that Ed had probably obtained the specific location of the treasure, and the reason why he came to rescue the village today was to continue to hide people's eyes, as long as the village was not destroyed for a day, those pirates would focus on these poor villagers, and they could safely hide in the shadows to dig up the treasure.
Thinking of this, Xia Hao couldn't help but be surprised by Ed's gloomy scheming, and at the same time, he also knew that his time was very urgent, and he had to find out Ed's movements as soon as possible.
After the patriarch Morris finished talking about this secret, he had obviously completed his mission and arranged for the clansmen to evacuate Donglai Island, while Xia Hao took this opportunity to sneak out of the village, and not long after he left the village, he heard a coquettish cry from behind.
"Hey, wait for me!"
Xia Hao looked back, but it was Raymond's daughter Claire, he looked at the girl who was approaching quickly, and asked in surprise, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
"Are you going in search of treasure? If you take me with you, maybe I can help you. Claire said with a sly smile.
"Do you know where the treasure is?" Xia Hao asked with wide eyes, he didn't understand what this ghostly girl was thinking.
Claire pretended to be mysterious, "As long as you take me off the island and go to the mainland, I promise to let you get what you want." ”
"To the mainland? Didn't you move away with your people? Xia Hao realized that this girl was afraid that she was in a rebellious period and planned to play the trick of running away from home.
System: Claire, a girl from Donglai Island, asked you to take her to the mainland, do you agree?
"If you help me leave, I can help you find the treasure." Claire reiterated.
Xia Hao was just about to agree, anyway, if he wanted to go back, he could take Claire away in a warship, but he suddenly frowned and thought of Morris and Raymond, if they knew that they had taken Claire, what would they be like?
Xia Hao could see that Morris's clan was mellow and simple by nature, if he really took Claire away, Raymond and Morris would definitely bring people to find him, and if the plan to leave Donglai Island was delayed because of this, the village was likely to perish in the invasion of pirates.
Thinking of this, Xia Hao took a deep breath and said to Claire, "I can't take you away." Your grandfather and father will be very anxious if they can't find you, so I advise you to hurry home! ”
Claire looked at Xia Hao angrily and said, "You ungrateful villain, why don't you even agree to my simple request?" ”
Xia Hao was about to continue to persuade, but saw a figure in the distance, after he saw Claire, he immediately strode over, and the person who came was Claire's father Raymond.
"Claire, why did you get here? Hurry back with me, we're leaving Donglai Island! Raymond said, grabbing his daughter's hand.
"It's all you, don't take me away, I hate you!" Claire shouted angrily at Xia Hao, turned her head and returned to the village.
Raymond hurriedly asked Xia Hao what was going on, and as soon as Xia Hao said the truth, Raymond was grateful.
"Thank you for stopping Claire!" Raymond bowed deeply, and then said as if remembering something: "By the way, when I came out to look for Claire, my father said to me, if I meet you, let me give you this potion recipe and this map." ”
Raymond said, handed Xia Hao a piece of paper and a yellowed parchment map, and after thanking him again, he hurriedly chased Claire away.
"It's so dangerous, if I had taken Claire away just now, I wouldn't have been able to get this sheepskin map." Xia Hao secretly called it a fluke.
The secret recipe of that elixir is the refining method of the unicorn elixir. The Qilin Elixir was the kind of herb that Xia Hao was taking that could instantly remove the state of serious injury, which was an unexpected gain.
As for the sheepskin map, it was the treasure map that Xia Hao had been longing for.
This is a rudimentary map of the topography of Donglai Island, and there are three special places marked with question marks on it.
Although he is not sure what the secret of the three question marks is, Xia Hao knows that this must be Morris's way of repaying Xia Hao for not taking Claire away, if Xia Hao promised Claire just now, it is estimated that Raymond will not appear, let alone get this map.
Xia Hao originally just compared his heart to his heart and took the initiative to give up this task, but he didn't expect it to be another village, and he was unexpectedly gifted by Morris. It can be seen that sometimes giving up is not necessarily a bad thing.
According to the map, Xia Hao went straight to the nearest marker, and that was where Ed and the others gathered. Descending the river formed by the impact of the waterfall, Xia Hao soon discovered the simple wooden huts that Morris had mentioned.
The wooden hut was rudimentary, but it was heavily guarded, which was unusual at first glance, and Ed's brigade was not nearby, so I don't know where it went.
The map that Morris gave to Xia Hao, with the question mark marked on it, happened to be the location of the wooden shed.
Xia Hao observed carefully, trying to see what was wrong.
At that moment, there was a slight noise in the stone wall behind one of the wooden sheds, and a perfectly hidden stone door was pushed open, and about five or six thieves came out of it.
It turns out that the secret is hidden inside the stone wall! Xia Hao suddenly realized.
The pirates who came out of the stone gate replaced the guards outside, and the original guards entered the stone gate.
Although Xia Hao learned the secret, due to the existence of the guards, it was still very difficult to enter without knowing it, after all, the situation inside was not known yet, and Xia Hao did not plan to blatantly break in.
Waiting quietly in place, after about thirty minutes, those guards did not relax in the slightest, which made Xia Hao a little impatient, he decided to rush over with the speed of the big toad immortal, and at this time, it happened that the stone door was opened from the inside again, and it turned out that it was time to change shifts again.
Xia Hao jumped into the stone cave when they opened the stone door and entered.
Although the pirates guarding the door felt a black shadow passing by, Xia Hao's speed was too fast, these pirates thought it was their own illusion, so they didn't delve into it, not to mention that these pirates had strong self-confidence, even if someone sneaked here, it would be impossible to discover their secrets.
As soon as Xia Hao entered the cave, he was surprised to find that the pirates who had been replaced before him had disappeared.
In the cave, the sound of water droplets echoes, large or small, light or heavy, intertwined, like a strange symphony. On the top of the cave, strange-shaped stalagmites hang upside down, and crystal clear water droplets drip from the stone stalactites, which is the source of the sound of water drops in the cave.
On the ground below the stalagmites, there were small puddles, which were formed by water droplets dripping all year round, which looked quite wonderful, and those pirates disappeared one by one between the stalagmites, which made Xia Hao extremely surprised.
Xia Hao walked alone in the stone cave, after passing through the strange terrain formed by this stalagmite, there were three forks in the road, Xia Hao randomly chose one to continue to go deeper, and after walking for a while, the cave became damp, and at the same time, there was a strange smell into his nose.
What does it taste like?
When Xia Hao was feeling strange, he suddenly felt a sound of breaking the air above his head, he looked up and found that there were black shadows flying above, their eyes were blood-red, as if they were fierce monsters that chose people to devour.
A black shadow suddenly swept over Xia Hao's head, and he saw clearly that it was a huge bat, and it was obviously its companions flying in the sky. The bat opened its mouth and let out a sharp cry, Xia Hao's body stagnated, and a negative state appeared on his body.
Ultrasonic attack, slowing down, reducing defense, this is not news for Xia Hao.
With the attack of this bat, those bats above also moved, flying towards Xia Hao, the prey, obviously not wanting to let him go. Xia Hao hurriedly tried his best to run in the cave, fortunately, the speed of these bats was not so terrifying, so that Xia Hao still had a chance to breathe, at this time Xia Hao also saw a bright light in front of him, and he seemed to be not far from the exit.
Xia Hao quickly rushed out of the hole.
Outside the cave is a lush forest, and this is already the back of the mountain peak behind the wooden shed, and Xia Hao has passed through the mountain peak through that cave.
There doesn't seem to be anything peculiar behind the peak, just like most places on the island, there are trees all over it, obviously the fork in the road Xia Hao chose is a wrong passage, and if Xia Hao wants to return to the stone gate of the wooden shed, he will either go around half of the island, or only go back the same way.
Back in the cave, the bats were long gone.
Xia Hao walked quickly and came to the fork in the road again. At this time, Xia Hao was surprised to find that the stone walls of these three forks in the road did not have any traces of artificial excavation, and they were all naturally formed. This discovery made Xia Hao suddenly realize that these three passages might just be ordinary stone caves.
Although there was such speculation, Xia Hao still investigated them separately. Xia Hao didn't encounter any monsters this time, but there was a dead end, and the other was rugged and bent, and the path that could be passed behind became narrower and narrower, and finally there was only a crack left, connected to the outside, Xia Hao could see the light from there, and obviously it couldn't be where the treasure was.
But where are the pirates?
Xia Hao knew that he was going in the wrong direction, and there must be some secrets in it that he hadn't discovered. Xia Hao was puzzled, he was only a few steps away from those pirates, why did all those pirates disappear after he came in?
It seems that he still has to follow those pirates in order to find the secret of this cave, Xia Hao quietly touched the stone gate, waiting for the pirates to change shifts again.
Not long after, Xia Hao suddenly heard the voice of someone talking.
Pirate!
As soon as Xia Hao heard this voice, he knew that it was those pirates, and he immediately looked towards the place where the sound came from, and happened to see six pirates pushing open another stone gate on the stone wall on the left side of the stone gate and stepping out.
It turns out that there is a hidden stone gate, no wonder I can't find you! Xia Hao was secretly happy in his heart. (To be continued.) )
