"Why is this island gone?" Junko asked in a bit of a daze.

Jiao Ba put down the jade pendant in his hand, turned around and said, "The sun has already set, so this island will naturally disappear." ”

I suddenly realized, "I understand, if you want to find that island, you can only find it at this time, and it must be the time when the sun and the moon appear at the same time, and the sun and moon drawn on the nautical chart actually mean this." ”

Jiao Ba smiled and nodded, "It's worthy of Brother Yi, that's right, only within this time can we use the power of the jade pendant to find this hidden island, once the time passes, the jade pendant can't refract the light, and the island disappears." ”

"It's really an eye-opener, Mr. Jiaoba, how did you find out?" Martin asked politely.

"It was also thought by chance, I've been thinking about this matter for the past two days, since the location we are looking for is right, then it's impossible not to see the island, the big man reminded me that day, maybe it's the wrong way, so I'm thinking, these two jade pendants, will it be of any use, combined with the pattern of the sun and the moon drawn on the nautical chart, I had a whim, I planned to give it a try, but I didn't expect it to be like this." Jiao Ba pursed his lips, no wonder he said that he couldn't be sure, the feelings were all experiments, but the experiments were successful.

"Jiao Ba, why is this strange phenomenon occurring? I've never seen anything like this. Li Xin asked.

Jiao Ba shook his head and said, "I don't know why, the ancients have a lot of great wisdom that we modern people can't understand, this is a double protection, there are nautical charts, and you can't find this island, just having a jade pendant is not enough, the two things are indispensable, and if you can't understand the meaning of this, you still can't find this mysterious island, I really admire the person who designed all this, this person's wisdom, too much ahead of us." ”

"So what's next for us? When did you set out to find the island? The big man hurriedly asked.

Jiao Ba said helplessly, "Today is definitely not good, I can only wait for tomorrow." ”

The next day, we gathered on the deck again, Jiao Ba still did the same as yesterday, when the sun and the moon appeared at the same time, the two jade pendants once again emitted golden light, and the mysterious island also appeared again, this scene is still so spectacular.

Jiao Ba hurriedly shouted, "Inform the helmsman, go full speed, hurry up, we have to find the island before the sun sets." ”

Martin hurried to inform the helmsman, the big ship soon began to move rapidly, the rest of us stood on the deck and watched all this, feeling that the island was getting closer and closer to us, I was a little excited, but at the same time a little nervous, I don't know which island is more terrible than the previous ghost island, I hope there will be less trouble here, I don't want to toss anymore.

"Hurry, quick, speed, the sun is setting, and the image of the island is disappearing." Jiao Ba shouted anxiously.

"No, the waves are a bit big right now, and it's unlikely that you'll be able to rush through them with all your might." Martin said, standing next to him.

The sea was a little angry today, the waves were much bigger than the previous days, and we were just facing the waves, so the speed of the boat could not be raised.

At this time, I saw that the island, which was originally very clear, was becoming blurred, and the light emitted by the jade pendant was also weakening, and it seemed that it might disappear at any time. He turned and ran quickly towards the control room.

In a minute or so, the speed of the ship began to increase, Mai Lao's sailing skills really have nothing to say, if you were an ordinary person, you can do it, but this ship is completely different in his hands, it feels like a toy, under his strong control, we finally entered the scope of the island.

But as our ship sailed around the island, I suddenly noticed a problem, the ocean behind us was no longer visible, and all we were left with was darkness. It's not that dark yet, is it? It's impossible not to see it at all, huh?

I suddenly asked in amazement, "Look, you can't see the ocean behind you anymore?" ”

"Oh no, we're not going to get close to the enchantment again, are we?" Li Xin said with a worried face.

Jiao Ba turned around and glanced at it, and said very calmly, "Don't worry, this is not an enchantment, the reason why there is such an effect should be related to the geographical location, Martin, you let Mai Lao turn around." ”

"Go back? What do you mean? "Martin kind of didn't get it.

"Just go and inform him." Jiao Ba said.

After a few minutes, the ship began to turn around, and we were soon swallowed up by the darkness, but in only half a minute or so, our ship was out of the darkness and back on the surface of the sea, and by the time I looked back, the island was gone.

Jiao Ba said again at this time, "Martin, tell Mai Lao to turn around and drive forward again." ”

The ship turned its head again and began to move in the direction it had been before, and there was obviously an ocean in front of me, but all of a sudden, it was pitch black, as if I had lost my sight, and I could not see anything, and after half a minute had passed, the disappeared island appeared before us again.

Jiao Ba said with some excitement, "It seems that it is true, with the help of the natural geographical environment, this island has been hidden under normal circumstances, so these days, we can't find it at all, the power of this jade pendant is to break this natural environment with the help of the moonlight and the sun, the wisdom of the ancients, it is really unimaginable, completely surpassing us." ”

"No, you see, the sun is abundant on this island, and it is the time when the sun is shining." Chang Shan looked up at the sky and said.

His words reminded us that it was sunset time, but how could there be the sun here? This is really weird, is it really an enchantment? But it's not like it, if it's an enchantment, we won't be able to get out just now, this strange sun feels very similar to the sun in the ice city.

"yes? How can there be a sun at this time? It's a little wrong. Jenny asked, puzzled.

Jiao Ba said calmly, "Don't be nervous, this is a normal phenomenon, think about it, since this place can be hidden under normal circumstances, then this island has a different time difference from the outside world, or in other words, it is not affected by time here at all." ”

"Not affected by time? How is this possible? Junko said disbelievingly.

Li Xin said, "It's not impossible, there are some things that science can't explain, and the ocean is even more so, and the Bermuda Triangle we know is just one of the mysterious points that we have discovered." ”

"That's right, in fact, these things can be explained by science in the future, but science has not yet developed to that point." Jiao Ba said casually.

The big ship soon approached the shore, and we stood on the deck, looking through our binoculars at the mysterious island, which was much larger than the one where Zheng He's mausoleum was located before, and looked more like the kind of vanished continent.

There are a few raised mountains on the island, but it is a little far away from us, and there is nothing else, this ghost place is deserted at a glance, and the whole island is golden, because this island is a desert, I basically can't see any plants and creatures, it is simply a barren land with no grass, the wind blows, the yellow sand is all over the sky, and the dry desert makes people fearful.

This vast sea of sand is more threatening than the ocean, the desert is the most difficult to conquer on land, I didn't expect that in the depths of this sea, there is such a desert area, how many explorers died in the desert, this is the most terrible area on land, and the desert here seems to be more difficult to conquer.

Mai Lao walked down from the control room at this time and said, "It's all desert here?" It seems that this last stop is going to be very difficult. ”

I turned around and asked, "When are we leaving?" ”

"Let's go, the big guy prepares things, you must bring enough supplies, you don't know how far you have to go this way." Mai Lao looked ahead, his eyes became a little weird, I can't tell what it is, he used to be the kind of confident eyes, but this time it was not, it seems that this endless desert has also brought him a certain amount of pressure.

Then we started to prepare things, each carrying a few pairs of wearable shoes, sunglasses, a large water bottle, the water source is the most important, without water, we will die in this barren land, we also have to bring more food, although I have been trained in the wilderness, but I have never crossed in the desert, this is also a difficult challenge for me.

Strong flashlights, tape, ropes, guns and ammunition, grenades, communication equipment and other necessities, we all brought all, everyone has to carry dozens of pounds of heavy things, which adds a certain degree of difficulty to us, but there is no way, we have to do this, we have no camels, not even horses, we can only walk forward on foot, this island is very large, how big it is, indescribable, you can't see the edge at a glance.

After the equipment was ready, we began to eat, try to eat and drink as much as possible, which can also save us some supplies, and after we have eaten, Mai Lao began to check the personnel, our side is all out of force, Martin's side is he and less than, and also with three Filipinos, and three Malaysians.

Lao Wu still stayed on the ship to guard, although Martin's crew still has a lot, but because after the death of a few people, some of the crew did not dare to follow anymore, and those who could get off the ship with us were the kind of people who wanted money and did not want to die, Martin promised them that as long as they followed, everyone would have a share in the treasure, the power of money was the most powerful, and there would be brave men under the heavy reward.

Mai Lao glanced around and said, "Jenny Li Xin, the two of you will stay alone, and the rest will get off the boat with me." ”
