Chapter 217: The Place Where the Legend Begins (2-in-1 for the Centipede Boss Plus Update)

The search party stepped into the ruins.

Under everyone's feet, there is a viscous texture, a burnt taste, mixed with various peculiar smells, and many people have disgusted expressions on their faces.

Under Tiramisu's surveillance, Gu Tianqing worked very hard in the ruins, searching for something.

Irin smiled.

If you don't guess wrong, the result is destined to disappoint Tiramisu.

Then.

Irin stared.

He glanced down without a trace, and then quickly raised his head, releasing his mental power, sensing everything under his feet and behind him.

There was an unnatural trail that stretched from the pile of corpses to the shore.

It was as if there was an object resembling a "person", dragging its body all the way to the shore.

Then the trail terminates.

Irin was silent, not speaking out what he had discovered.

Half an hour later.

Gu Tianqing looked apologetic and said to Tiramisu: "I'm sorry, it seems that my divination has deviated a little. โ€

Click.

When Tiramisu heard this, his teeth slammed into the cigarette stick.

Irin heard the tooth-aching click and wondered if Tiramisu's teeth would burst out in a fit of rage.

Facing Tiramisu's eyes that seemed to be about to erupt fire, Gu Tianqing was still apologetic, and said in a serious tone: "I'm really sorry." However, because of this, I am more certain that we are going in the wrong direction, because, as the divination says, this direction will lead to 'bad luck', oh, and it seems to have brought bad luck to the damned pirates. โ€

The implication.

The pot was thrown directly at Elizabeth Rin's head.

Irin: "......"

Tiramisu deep V went up and down, and he smoked hard.

Five minutes later.

Tiramisu finally calmed down, took a deep breath of his cigarette, and commanded with a stiff face: "Close!" Keep going! โ€

An hour later.

The nine warships were reorganized, and they set sail again in the direction that Irin and Gu Tianqing had jointly guided, and set sail in the direction that was getting colder and colder.

After the other nine warships fired their guns, they didn't know if they heard some rumors, and quietly distanced themselves from the "Lucky One 2", as if they were afraid of being contaminated with something that should not be touched.

Tiramisu: "......"

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Ten days later.

Somewhere in the sea.

Sunny.

Don't ask who "Fenghe" is and who "Li" is.

The Inseparable has finally arrived on an island in the middle of the ocean.

This isolated island is small enough to be seen from a distance, with fine white sand beaches reflecting dazzling light in the sun.

Ding Ding Ding โ€“

On deck, many sailors were mentally exhausted and tinkered with all sorts of potholes from place to place on deck.

The devil knows how they survived the constant storm!

God knows what they went through not so long ago?

The miserable Charlie had a thick layer of gauze wrapped around his head, and the gauze was still stained with blood.

He didn't join in the work of repairing the deck at the moment, but instead licked a dog-like smile and groomed the dog for Emperor Wang, who was basking in the sun with his eyes closed.

Ruth took advantage of Xiao Sa's inattention, quietly took out the compass in the corner, moved a few steps back and forth, left and right, and changed several postures.

Before setting sail, Irin had told Ruth not to let Sa find out that the compass was on Ruth.

Otherwise...... will die.

Ruth was taken aback by Irin's heavy tone.

But Irin's explanation afterwards made Ruth cry and laugh, and she gave a thumbs up by the way.

"Xiao Sa will die, if you dare to rob it, he will be shot to death by a dog, so you still don't show it, after all, Xiao Sa is not easy."

After a few gestures, the hands on the compass swayed as Ruth shifted position.

But there is no doubt that the compass refers to the desert island in front of it.

Finally, it's here!

Oh yes! Arrive at the Land of Desire!

Ruth clenched her little fist and silently put away the compass.

On deck.

Old Gibbs, who was drunk, suddenly sat up from the pile of rum bottles, as if he had a convulsion.

Now, after this period of hardship, the Unsinkable has formed a rule for each to perform its own duties.

Charlie specializes in serving dogs.

The dog master was specially launched as a "dog cannon".

Saxophone works shifts as lookouts.

The old Gibbs, on the other hand, became the mascot of the ship, and when he was bored and lonely, many of the crew liked to listen to the old Gibbs tirelessly boast about his adventures over and over again.

Hey, don't really say it, drinking rum, this awesome sounds like it's very exciting!

Oh, poor old Gibbs, if you eat more, you won't get drunk like this.

Those adventures sound even more legendary than the stories of the Pirate King.

So.

When old Gibbs suddenly sat up, the pirates around him with gavel nails couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, my legendary pirate old Gibbs, you finally woke up drunk from your sweet dream?" โ€

"Hahaha-"

The others burst out laughing.

Old Gibbs squinted, and suddenly stepped forward and looked towards the island.

"Here, here, here...... Where is it? โ€

Old Gibbs's eyes widened, his eyes full of surprise.

And the other end.

Ruth did not hesitate and gave the order directly to land on the island.

"Hehe......"

Old Gibbs popped the ground, uncorked the rum bottle with his mouth, and poured a big gulp into his mouth.

The hot taste stimulated old Gibbs to be a little more sober.

Leaving enough people to work on the deck, Ruth thought about it, and ordered the saxophone who was about to move to stay on the deck and not be allowed to come down.

So, Ruth, old Gibbs, Dog, and a few cannon fodder from rowing boats, took a lifeboat and landed on the island.

The island is not very large, and it is clear that there is no jungle too dense, almost a small patch of barren woods and sandy beaches on all sides, nothing more.

Ruth was also a little confused.

She originally thought that what Elizabeth Rin was looking for should be hidden in a more compelling place.

For example, the ancient tombs with disordered mechanisms, the temples of the gods, the ancient ruins, the temples under the sea...... Etcetera.

But if that were the case, a woman's quest for these ancient mysteries would be a very different story.

Stepping onto the island, old Gibbs's eyes were full of nostalgia.

Ruth avoided the gaze of the others and took out the compass again.

That's when something strange happened.

The compass, which has always been effective, seems to have suddenly convulsed, three times to the left and three times to the right, paused, and then rotated three times to the right and left, full of rhythm.

The way the compass rotated made Ruth look confused.

What is this?

Some kind of cryptic password?

Is that too complicated?

The damn captain didn't say it was going to happen in the first place!

Or is it ...... Compass water? Broken?

Can a smash it be cured?

Miracles of great force?

Ruth's mind flashed through a lot of strange thoughts, and she was also a little anxious.

She's on an important mission to come to this island, and if she can't get that thing back, what if that damn woman doesn't let her rub the oil in the future.

"Search!!"

Ruth stared at the dangling pointer for a few more moments, until she was too dazzled to come up with it, and then she reluctantly put away the compass and let her only human hand search the entire island.

"Uh, my esteemed great captain, we should ...... What the hell are you searching for? โ€

A dog-licking pirate, rubbing his palms, asked flatteringly.

Ruth was silent for a moment.

She couldn't tell, she was looking for Poseidon's trident, which was said to be able to break all curses.

After all, the story is too important, the legend is too ethereal, and she lies when she first sets sail that they are sailing towards the legendary "Philosopher's Stone", which is a tempting golden country.

By the way.

Ruth heard not long ago that now in the pirate circle, rumors about the "Philosopher's Stone" have been boiling, and I don't know where the "Philosopher's Stone" treasure map has been circulated, luring countless pirates to sail to find treasures, including many guys who have washed their hands of gold, and picked up their old jobs again.

Therefore, Ruth's reason for setting sail is also reasonable, there are skeleton gentlemen, there are dogs, and a bit of gold, whether it is temptation or the threat of force, it is enough to make this group of filthy pirates who were not long ago under the command of other captains, squat on this ship obediently, and obey Ruth's command.

After all, in their eyes, Ruth, who is followed by the dog, is the "skeleton gentleman" himself.

The legend of "spreading terror with dogs" is too vivid and terrifying, and they have also witnessed the terrible power of the "dog cannon".

One "dog cannon" solves a ship, who else can do it except the skeleton gentleman?

No one else!

And now, Ruth looked at the licking dogs in front of her...... Oh no, a few capable cannon fodder, after thinking for a moment, said: "You find all the suspicious things, it should not be too small, maybe it's a box, maybe it's a tombstone, maybe it's a cloth bag or something, find everything...... Be careful, things can break easily. โ€

Ruth remembered that the trident had been broken and then glued, and hurriedly reminded her.

In the end, Ruth imitated Elizabeth Rin's pretending tone in public, squatted down and smiled and touched the dog's head of Emperor Wang, and said indifferently: "Hehe, don't try to hide anything, its eyes, from the abyss, are watching you, no matter where you are, be careful behind your back." โ€

(Elizabeth Rin: Who pretends to be forced??? ๏ผ‰

Hiss โ€“

In an instant, all the pirates scattered and searched for them.

"Hiccup~"

Old Gibbs burped, "Hey, this is a great place to vacation, and sure enough, Captain Jack always has a soft spot for it." โ€

"Huh?" When Ruth heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned: "Old Gibbs, do you know this place?" โ€

"Know, why don't you know?" Old Gibbs glanced at the skeletal gentleman and said with a smile, "This island is where Captain Jack's legend began." โ€

โ€œ๏ผŸ๏ผŸ๏ผŸโ€

Old Gibbs had wine, and there was no need to supervise him, so he happily told a little story.

"Many years ago, the legendary Captain Jack was betrayed by the first mate and exiled to an island, ah, this beautiful island."

Ruth was stunned.

Is it miserable?

Isn't it normal in pirates?

Old Gibbs had a mysterious expression: "At that time, Captain Jack was left with only a flintlock pistol, and the last bullet, which was said to have been left for Captain Jack to end his life...... Oh, old Gibbs, guess you must be curious, how did the legendary Captain Jack escape the island back then? โ€

Ruth: "......, no, I'm not curious! Where the hell is that thing hiding? โ€

Old Gibbs: "......"

Old Gibbs didn't have a bird, Ruth, while seemingly aimlessly swaying drunkenly from side to side on the beach, and said slowly in a tone of nostalgia for the eventful years.

"Legend has it that Captain Jack made a rope out of his hair, tied two large giant turtles, and kept swimming, swimming, swimming, swimming, swimming, swim......ming, swimming, swimming

Ruth: "......"

"Legend has it that Captain Jack caught two magical parrots and flew over the Caribbean Sea with them......"

Ruth was momentarily stunned.

Emperor Wang...... Dumbfounded.

A man and a dog looked at each other tacitly at this time.

Ah......h Does anyone believe this?

Ruth reluctantly looked away from the dog's face.

It's no wonder that Captain Jack, in Gibbs's mouth, can become a legendary pirate, and it turns out that it is all up to his peers.

Knock knock.

Suddenly.

Old Gibbs stopped somewhere, stomped a few hard, and a dull sound came from under old Gibbs.

Ruth's eyes lit up when she heard the strange sound at Old Gibbs's feet, and she trotted all the way to Old Gibbs, and also stomped a few times.

Under the sand, there's something.

Ruth hesitated for a moment, having no other tools at hand, so she could only use her hands to dig up in the sand.

As he planed, he asked, "How do you know that something is in this location?" โ€

Old Gibbs said slowly: "Hehe, Captain Jack's habit of hiding things has not changed. โ€

After a while, Ruth began to feel a little struggling, after all, with her bare hands.

Emperor Wang Tiandi smiled coldly, and walked slowly with an awe-inspiring and inviolable majesty.

I saw the dog twist his buttocks, and in front of Ruth, the front legs were fixed, and the hind legs were like a small electric motor, frantically digging up the beach in front of the two.

In the stunned eyes of old Gibbs and Ruth, the dog's two hind legs danced like the wind, spun like a dragon, faster and faster, and turned out of the afterimage.

A minute later.

Finish.

The dog toed the dog's legs proudly, shook the sand from his hair, and then squatted aside, snorting and sticking out his tongue with an unfathomable expression.

Like a dog but not like a dog.

Ruth had no time to give praise to the diligent Emperor Wang Tian at this time, and in the small pit dug out by Emperor Wang Tian, an almost rotten wooden board appeared in front of Ruth.

Babble โ€“

As the plank was lifted, a musty smell rose to the sky, causing the dog squatting next to him to subconsciously roll his eyes.

Beneath the wooden planks lay a secret little cellar, neatly lined with piles of rum bottles, covered with dust and fine sand, and I don't know if they have deteriorated.

"Why is it all rum?"

Under the mask, the corners of Ruth's mouth twitched slightly.

Old Gibbs happily added, "Captain Jack always had a habit of hiding rum, especially when Elizabeth was around...... By the way, she married William first, and then somehow gave birth to Saxophone for Captain Jack, oh, this damn love. Gollum-"

Ruth was in no mood to listen to old Gibbs tell Captain Jack's green love story, and her eyes fell on a corner of the cellar.

in the corner.

A mysterious bag wrapped in a tarp, lying there quietly, I don't know how many years it has been in the dust, and at this time it finally sees the light.

And right now.

Emperor Wang's expression suddenly flashed with a hint of humanized doubt, and he stretched out his dog's paw to point something in front of him, as if he was chatting.

Tick tick tick.

Tick tick tick.

Tick tick tick.

After clicking for a while, Emperor Wang Tiandi helplessly pulled Ruth's trouser leg.

Ruth was dreaming of the future with her tarp bag, looking forward to what the curse would look like when the curse would be broken, ah, then...... Up and down, front and back, left, left and right, and Elizabeth Rin...... Well? Strange, why is it that my mind is full of women's scenes?

While she was fantasizing strangely, Ruth felt someone tugging at her hind legs, and when she looked down, she saw that it was the dog grinning, as if he wanted to signal something.

Ruth was helpless: "I don't understand." โ€

The dog thought about it, and suddenly had an idea.

He quickly drew three letters on the sand, then crouched on the ground, his paws in two exaggerated half-arcs in front of his chest.

Exaggerated half-arc ...... Ruth understood, and then looked at the traces left by the dog on the beach.

โ€”โ€”โ€œSยท Oยท Sโ€๏ผ

This is a universal distress signal on the sea!

"Save Our Ship"!

Ruth knew that there was a strange connection between the dog and Elizabeth Rin through black magic, which was one of the reasons why Ruth dared to follow the dog to the boundless sea.

After all, there is Irin on the other end of the remote control.

And from the dog's message...... Something happened to Elizabeth Rin!

"Set sail! Sail! Sail! โ€

Ruth returned to the ship in a hurry.

She followed Irin's advice and did not open the tarp bag, it was said that breaking the curse required some kind of ritual that could only be done by the knowledgeable Irin, and Ruth did not dare to be careless.

Ruth already knew how to use the compass.

The trident has been found, and the mind is gone.

The rest of the cravings...... Ruth closed her eyes and clenched the compass in her hand.

After a few seconds, Ruth's face flushed, she exhaled, and her legs involuntarily clamped and writhed.

Emperor Wang: "? โ€

A moment later.

The trembling hands on the compass finally pointed in a certain direction.

"Oh, my dear captain, this time, it's my turn to save you!"

Ruth licked her lips and smiled brightly.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Irin looked at the large ship grave that appeared in the distance.

That's right.

It is indeed a ship graveyard.

Familiar ship graveyards.

After all, on the Queen, Irin had seen a lot, and he wasn't too surprised.

And the only thing that Yi Rin felt a little surprised was that she really led these nine warships in the direction of the legendary "Demon King" in a direction that she pointed to.

Is it fate?

Or is there a hand manipulating it?

Since Shipwreck Bay was completely destroyed by the Navy under the impetus of Gu Tianqing, after the release of Autonomous Line Mission 3, Yi Rin noticed that the rhythm of the entire plot suddenly accelerated.

It's like what Gu Tianqing did, turning on a certain switch, pushing the plot to the end in a short time.

Irin bowed his head.

Silently sent a string of messages to Emperor Wang, and then closed the apostle panel.

Emperor Wang's IQ is not low, and he is even a bit of a dog, Yi Rin is not worried about whether the dog can understand his intentions, his only worry is that Ruth will not be able to understand the paraphrase conveyed by the dog.

If you don't guess wrong, according to the normal rhythm, it should be the apostle who excavates various plots in this trial, and will eventually go to two lines, the pirate line and the navy line.

Two lines, corresponding to two camps.

And in this trial, faction warfare is not the main melody.

The final boss corresponding to the pirate line should be Calypso.

And the final boss corresponding to the naval line should be the "Demon King".

The third main quest on normal difficulty is very likely to be "Seal Calypso", or it is related to the Demon King.

And now, after the destruction of Shipwreck Bay, the main quest 2 has been completed in an almost vain way, which directly increases the difficulty of the entire trial and changes it to a nightmare-level trial.

Under the control of a certain mechanism and rules, the two lines, the naval line and the pirate line, which were not too much interference, were finally forcibly screwed together.

This is the nightmare level of the main quest three...... Solve the final boss of both sides!

It's a nightmare!

Whether it's Calypso, who Irin once had a relationship with, or the demon king he has never met, it's definitely not an apostle that can be tough.

The Demon King aside, Calypso alone, as long as there is enough fuel, Irin's confidence is that he can ride the Dire on the sea and escape from Calypso's persecution.

But if you want to kill this ethereal existence, with only the abilities you have so far, there is no possibility.

Therefore, after Irin learned more information, he asked Ruth to cooperate with the dog to go to sea to find the legendary trident.

If it goes well, it won't be difficult on Calypso's side.

Now the question is...... Beelzebub.

The appearance of the ship's grave undoubtedly tells everyone that they are sailing on the road to death.

On deck.

Gu Tianqing smiled calmly, stood aside, and was silent.

Tiramisu had already stepped onto the deck, poking his head out of the fence to carefully distinguish the marks on the wreckage around the warship.

From the traces of the wreck, we can roughly infer the type of beatings the ship suffered before it was killed, and even the scene at that time.

โ€œGOGOGO๏ผโ€

Tiramisu once again confirmed the route to Gu Tianqing, and then sent a signal to Admiral Cappuccino and Admiral Macchiato, who were on the other warship.

Unlike the Queen's reluctant move to pass through the ship's graveyard, the nine warships, not only did not do their best, but they were full of horsepower, and they turned on the coal boilers one after another, and the whining whistle resounded through the sea.

The nine warships, which sped up their speed, set off rolling waves on the calm sea.

The wreckage floating in the sea area of the shipyard was swept away by the nine imposing warships, floating and sinking in the waves, which was very pitiful.

In Yi Rin's opinion, it was obvious that these nine warships were going for the Demon King, and it seemed that they were completely sure of facing the Demon King, their expressions were excited, and there was no fear on their faces.

"They know the identity of the Demon King? Even...... Is there a way to deal with the Demon King? โ€

Yi Rin didn't dig deep enough into the navy's line, he quietly looked at Gu Tianqing, and I don't know if it was just right, Gu Tianqing was smiling, and the two of them looked at each other.

Irin: Old Yin beep.

Gu Tianqing: Pretending to be forced.

Irin: Uh~ Wrong. (Doghead)

Gu Tianqing: Heh, it's wrong. (smiles)

Irin: .......

Gu Tianqing: .......

The two sent out messages almost at the same time, and received each other's messages almost at the same time, both of them were speechless.

Irin closed the communication panel with a blank face, and then, in full view of everyone, stepped gracefully into Elizabeth Rin's cabin, and ordered a pastry and tea.

While you haven't torn your face yet, don't eat for nothing.

While enjoying afternoon tea, Irin dangled Jiro's legs and thought in silence.

About the next main quest...... What should happen?

"No, it should be said...... It is destined to happen, definitely, definitely, it will happen. โ€

Irin pushed open the window and gazed out at the sea.

It was as if somewhere in the sea, there was also a pair of strange and indescribable eyes, staring at Irin through the untouchable void.

"Hi, Calypso."

Irin smiled, "I'm here." โ€

As she spoke, Irin took out a popping bead from under her skirt and threw it into the sea, slapping Calypso's face.

No one found out.

Below the ass of nine warships, in the depths of the sea.

A shadow of strange shape, fleeting.
