CH.83 The Great Earthquake
The surface of the black treasure chest is shiny and shiny, as if it was made of black gold glass, and on the four sides and in the center, it is wrapped in black metal with a carved pattern, the keyhole in the front, and a demonic text engraved on the back. The pirates present could not read the demon language, so they had to find an interpreter like Daqi in the future.
Of course, in addition to picking locks, you can also choose a more violent method to open the chest.
The pirates tried to slash with their swords, but the iron sword curled and the chest did not leave a single scratch. It seems that even using the Moorish longsword to cut it will not help.
The heavy texture of the black treasure chest seemed to praise the blood-stained hands of the demon clan.
Donk caressed the black treasure chest, and no matter what it contained, the reward points alone were already thrilling to him, and he would definitely find a way to open this treasure chest in the future.
The thief is an expert at picking locks, but he feels that the first- and second-order thieves recruited through the system are not capable of opening this treasure chest.
If you shake the black chest, you can hear a dull crashing sound inside, as if it contains something soft rather than hard, which is puzzling.
Tang Ke and two dozen pirates sailed back by boat, and the battle was just as it had been when they came, the undead and the snake people opened the way in front, the boat was lit with glass lights, and under the dim halo, fierce faces were staring at the sea, not daring to relax for a moment.
About half a day later, there was another sudden earthquake, this time even more violent, and the boat almost capsized, but fortunately, the snake man swam back at the call of Donk and stabilized the hull in the sea.
"Bump! Click! ”
The cave reverberated with a loud sound like a dragon's roar, and there seemed to be a collapse in front of it, the sound of a boulder falling into the sea, and the sound of a stone breaking. This is a very bad sign.
The earthquake came and went quickly, and the dark sea soon returned to calm. But the pirates' hearts were still beating uneasily, and their faces were not very good.
"We're not going to be stuck here, are we?" A pirate asked worriedly.
"You crow's mouth!" A pirate next to him cursed angrily.
Tang Ke frowned, if it was really as the pirate said, things would be dangerous, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't guess, let's take one step at a time, there is no difficulty that can stump us pirates!" ”
The pirates were noisy for a moment, then they calmed down and continued rowing.
The boat returned to the shore where the Sky was docked, and it was safe and sound, and there were no accidents due to the earthquake, which made Tang Ke breathe a sigh of relief.
During Donk's absence, the people who stayed behind had already put on new sails for the Sky, and as for the other breakages on the ship, they could not be repaired because they were not professional craftsmen, but there was no problem going to sea.
After the people who stayed behind saw the black treasure chest, they gathered around, touched and looked, and guessed what would be hidden in the treasure chest. Only when Hana Lu heard that it was something left by the demon, she didn't dare to touch it herself.
Cliff picked up the chest with great care, put it to his ear and shook it vigorously, shaking the contents with a "bump" sound.
Seeing this, Donk was afraid that Cliff had damaged the contents of the contents, so he hurriedly snatched the treasure chest back and glared at Cliff fiercely. Cliff laughed a few times and quickly interrupted with other topics.
In addition to putting on new sails, the people who stayed behind also walked through the various rooms on the Sky, looted a lot of gold and silver treasures, and after Tang Ke returned, he collected this wealth, and said that he would reward everyone later.
"Commander, we've found this good thing." The pirate offered an elaborate dagger.
Donk took it and pulled the dagger out of its sheath, but there was no sound at all. The dagger was dark and faint, without the slightest reflection, and with a wave of his hand, he neatly cut off a corner of the table, this dagger turned out to be a good thing to seal the throat with blood.
After all, Frankie is also the owner of a magic ship, how can there be no good things on board? In the past, the Cangtian was also full of talents, the personnel were very well-equipped, and the weapons on the ship were still intact except for a little dust.
Donk used an investigative technique, and the dagger's message popped out.
Dragon's Black Blade:
Grade: Boutique item.
Type: Character Gear (for Rogues, Assassins, Ranger classes).
Description: A dagger forged specifically for assassination, the main ingredient is the nails of the wurm, the dagger will not reflect in the dark, and it will not make a sound when the scabbard is pulled, and the blood groove is dug in the back of the thick knife, and it can still be easily pulled out after piercing the enemy's body. The dagger is mixed with metal toxins, and the wounds caused by it will be very difficult to heal.
All in all, this dagger was forged to bury lives!

Combat effectiveness: ★
After reading it, Donk couldn't put it down and looked at this dagger, although he was not good at using short blades, this dagger was so pleasing just to look at.
Men like all kinds of lethal weapons in their bones, even when they are children, the toys they choose are weapons!
"This dagger has always been in my hands." Frankie suddenly appeared in front of Donk, but he was no longer frightened.
"You're using it?" The confusion on Donk's face soon faded, and Frankie's own profession was an assassin.
"Yes, though I was not an assassin in my lifetime, but a captain and magician. But I simply can't use heavy weapons right now. Only this fluttering dagger on the ship suited me. I'm using it against the snake people who are trying to build this ship into a lair. ”
Tang Ke held the dagger, and had no intention of handing it over again, so he shirked and said, "I'll make you a light dagger in the future, and I'll give this one to me." ”
Frankie's eyes lit up, and he roared in a low voice: "This ship is mine, and the ownership of the things on the ship should be assigned by me!" I still intend to keep this dagger to myself, it's the only treasure of a lonely undead! ”
After the undead finished speaking, he pounced on Tang Ke, and turned his face on the spot.
Donk stabbed Frankie with his dagger, but it seemed to be pierced in the air and pierced straight through.
"The undead are not so easy to deal with!" Frankie's pale face became more real and clear, and he slashed Donk's wrist with the palm of his hand, and took advantage of the moment when his energetic hand was slightly loosened, and snatched back the dagger!
Donk's reaction was not slow, and as soon as the dagger was out of his hand, he quickly retreated backwards, and drew his long sword, concentrating on the enemy. But the undead did not pursue and remained in place.
"Bump!"
The undead stuck the dagger into the wooden table.
"From now on, this dagger will be stuck here, and no one will be allowed to touch it except me! Anyone! The undead scanned everyone with a cold gaze, and the obsession of his life caused him to have a strong possessive desire for the Sky, the demon's treasure, and this dagger.
If it weren't for the fact that the undead themselves couldn't move the ship, he wouldn't have drawn a treasure map and brought it out with seabirds.
"Okay, this dagger will always be yours." Tang Ke suffered from the lack of a way to deal with the undead, so he could only compromise.
The undead regained his composure and became expressionless again, and he said lightly: "Okay, you come with me, I will teach you how to drive the Sky, I can't wait to see this ship moving on the sea." ”
"Then please lead the way." Donk held out his hand to the door.
But the undead had always taken a different path, and he sank straight down, as if there was a pool of water under his feet rather than a heavy oak deck.
Tang Ke followed the guidance of the undead and came to the power room of the hull, where the so-called Elemental Conversion Furnace was located, and it was just a cylindrical furnace with tubes around it, which sent elemental energy to the ship.
The magic stones are piled aside, like colorful amber stones, showing a translucent appearance, some large and some small.
"Fill the magic stone into the magic furnace, close the magic furnace, press this red button, and then the work of absorbing elemental energy will begin. It will take seven minutes for this energy to be supplied, and then you can use the Sky's flight ability or magic cannon. The undead explained.
Tang Ke nodded, the so-called magic furnace is actually similar to burning coal in a furnace, except that the coal has been replaced with magic stones.
Next, the undead took Donk to various parts of the ship, explaining how to use the thrusters and propellers, and how to use the magic cannon. In fact, there were only a few functions of the Sky, and it only took Tang Ke an hour to master the method of activation.
If you want to fly, you have to fill the Elemental Conversion Furnace with magic stones, and when the elemental energy is sufficient, use a special key to unscrew the keyhole of the rudder, and then the ship will turn on various abilities, such as flying or using thrusters to advance.
The Elemental Conversion Furnace is the scientific name, and in normal times, many people simply call it the Magic Furnace.
As for the magic cannon, it is somewhat different from Tang Ke's imagination, and his concept is that the magic cannon can emit laser waves and can hit far, far away. But in fact, the magic cannon is the same principle as artillery, both of which send ordinary shells out of the barrel by exploding.
It's just that the magic cannon is an explosion made with the elements, not gunpowder.
Everything was ready, and the pirates pushed the Sky off the shore, but fortunately it was a slope that did not stump them. Donk climbed onto the stern bridge of the Sky and inserted an antique key into the center keyhole of the rudder, giving him the mood of a novice driver on the road.
"After all this time, the ship's power system shouldn't break, right?" Donk said with a little concern.
The Sky itself was quick to respond to Donk's question. Several dark red gems were inlaid on the surface of the rudder, and because of the energy absorbed from the magic furnace, they began to glow, indicating that the ship was ready!
"The Sky is fine, it can still go to sea!" Frankie was also on the bridge, and he was too excited to help himself, looking at the hull with pity.
Donk rubbed his hands together eagerly, reached down, and pulled the mechanism under the rudder.
There was a roar in the hull of the Sky, and the two propellers at the stern slowly rotated, washing away the dust accumulated for decades in the seawater, and the speed continued to soar, crushing the sea water and propelling the ship to move!
