Clusters of darkness gradually poured out on the horizon.

"See!"

"Discover the Magnet Islands!"

The watchman's cries spread throughout the Justice.

It has been a week since the Justice, Little Bird, and Rapids set sail in Port Crescent. During this period, they made a stop at Hachigen Harbor on the way, recruited more than 200 sailors, and replenished the personnel.

The dragon boy pushed open the door to the captain's quarters and stood at the railing, staring into the distance.

At the same time, the mane on the Birdie, and the gray of the Rapids all raised their monoculars.

As the distance closes, the Magnet Islands become clearer and clearer.

It is a desolate place, full of pitch-black rocks and almost no vegetation.

The terrain on the island is steep and rugged, with strange peaks and hills, and the air is noticeably hotter than at sea.

Various weapons such as sailor knives began to rattle in the armament room.

The Magnet Islands, as the name suggests, exude the power of a powerful magnet at all times. The vast majority of metals are greatly affected.

About 3,000 years ago, a golden ship ran aground here.

The owner of the golden giant ship was a wealthy merchant of the elf clan, and he must have been among the top three in the world at that time in terms of financial resources. The wealthy merchants issued usurious loans and used force to oppress those who could not repay their debts. The fifth generation of One Piece was born as an elven nobleman, when the family owed huge debts, was captured by the elf merchants, used as slaves, and all the fixed assets of the family were swallowed up by the wealthy merchants.

The young fifth-generation pirate king escaped with courage and luck. Wander to the sea and become a pirate.

When he came of age, he stood out and became a pirate captain.

He embarked on a quest for revenge, plundering the fleets of the elven merchants.

In order to satisfy their own preferences, the elven tycoons were extremely hungry for luxury, and created seven cruise ships of silver, gold, agate, pearl, jade, diamond, and crystal.

Each cruise ship is comparable to the most luxurious aristocratic estate, with all the amenities available.

The fifth-generation pirate king continued to rob the big merchants, relying on his enemies to make a fortune, and his power became stronger and stronger.

The big merchants fought back, but the five generations were cunning and shrewd and devised a plan.

On one occasion, the five generations were defeated and fled to the Magnet Islands. The Golden Cruise Ship, which was chasing him, was affected by magnetic forces and its combat power plummeted. The fifth generation seized the fighter plane and launched a fierce attack, sinking the Golden cruise ship in the Magnet Islands.

The most basic construction material of the Gold cruise ship is gold. Although the five generations of pirate kings sank the ship, he did not have time to salvage the gold because of the fleet that came later.

Afterwards, the Gold was nowhere to be found.

The world speculates that this giant ship, which is almost made of gold, was sucked into the depths of the magnet islands because of magnetism. Therefore, descendants continue to rush here to try to find the golden giant.

Until now, however, no one has been heard of discovering this huge treasure.

More than a thousand years passed after the sinking of the Golden Ship.

The Magnet Islands have become a life-and-death battlefield for two legendary powerhouses.

The two sides of the war, one from the Barbarians, are fallen druid fangs. The other was from the Orcs, who was the High Priest of the Orcs at the time.

The two were close in strength, and they both died here in the end.

According to rumors, both have left their respective legacies of power here. Before dying, meet to use the inheritance to create excellent descendants, let them duel with each other, and divide the real superiority.

After this battle, the Magnet Islands became a popular destination again, and every year they were haunted by transcendents who wanted to be passed on to the legend.

These are the two most valuable treasures of the Magnet Islands, but there is also a lot of other information about the varying value of the treasures.

The dragon boy exchanged some of these treasure information in Crescent Harbor this time.

The three ships gradually approached the Magnet Islands.

There was still some distance from the coast, and the three pirate ships were no longer on their way.

The main material of the pirate ship is wood, but there are also metal nails and other materials. Getting too close will cause damage.

"Check your gear one last time, and don't bring metal objects!"

The dragon man boy and others took the landing dinghy, and there were gray, gray beards, big men, flutes, three knives, blue-green algae, small birds and others on the boat.

Mango stayed behind and presided over the overall situation.

The landing boat soon landed, and a group of the Justice Pirates officially set foot in this strange land.

Stepping on the dark and shiny magnet, everyone immediately felt a wave of heat transmitted from the soles of their feet.

After a brief pause on the shore, everyone got used to it, and the team began to move deeper into the archipelago.

At first, the road was peaceful, but after a while, everyone was "welcomed".

Bang.

A black stone suddenly shot into the crowd.

The little bird and the three knives that were exploring the way in front hurriedly dodged.

Then, with a thudding sound, a large number of black stones were shot at everyone like cannonballs.

The big man raised his huge wooden shield and half-knelt in front of the dragonman captain, blocking three blackstone cannonballs for him.

"Don't mess around. The dragon man snapped, "Old Bell!"

Cang Xu immediately instilled mana, tore open a magic scroll, and mentally manipulated it to form a translucent light mask.

The black stone smashed on the light mask, and it was all resisted, although the light mask was a thin layer, it was only rippling and very solid.

Seeing that the intruders were holding their positions, the natives of the Magnet Islands came out one after another.

They are all humanoid, but they are all made of earth and stone, and their physiques are large and small.

"Earth Element!" 100 Literature

"And a variant of the Earth Elemental, the Magnetic Earth Elemental!" the pirates whispered.

The earth element is yellowish-brown, while the magnet element is blackish-gray.

They have the ability to manipulate dirt and rock. One by one, they opened their palms, leaned down, dug out a black stone directly, and then raised their heads and raised their arms violently, and threw the stone over.

The stone cannonballs had no effect, and the earth elementals with the largest physiques began to cast their magic.

Earth-based spells - Earth Thorns!

However, the ground thorn did not appear.

The beard tore open another scroll, reinforcing the ground beneath everyone's feet.

But defense alone will not bring victory, so the old scholar shouted: "Attack quickly!"

The dragon man, the boy, and the gray have already broken out of the shield.

They all had alchemical bows and crossbows in their hands.

In the next moment, the alchemy bow and arrow shot at the earth elemental group, erupting with bursts of thunder, as well as water and flames.

The smoke cleared, and the tentative first wave of attacks had a result.

The dragon man found that the thunder-type alchemy arrows that were usually powerful in attack had almost no effect, and the power of the water-type and fire-type arrows had also been reduced by about half.

The boy was not surprised, this was originally expected by him.

The earth elemental defense is outstanding, and they are the best at defending against thunder and lightning spells, and the rest of the spells will almost drop in half of their power.

The defensive advantage of the earth element is not only reflected in the defense of spells, but also is very good for hard strikes such as swords.

The dragon boy then crashed into the crowd of enemies himself, swinging his dragon claws and attacking in all directions.

He is a silver fighter, but he has difficulty killing the earth elemental of the black iron level. It often takes ten claw strikes to harvest a black iron-level earth elemental.

The Earth Elemental itself also casts some natural spells.

In addition to stone throwing and ground thorns, there are also annoying retardation techniques.

The dragon boy was hit by the Retardation Technique, and his movement speed and attack speed were greatly reduced at the same time, and the slaughter efficiency plummeted.

Low and weak, I am strong.

Although there are many earth elements, the highest level is only black iron, and there are only three heads.

However, it still took a full half an hour for everyone to clear these earth elemental groups.

This is on top of the large amount of alchemy arrows that have been consumed.

At the end of the battle, there were no casualties, but the faces of the birds, the gray and the others were a little pale.

"It's not going to work like this, Captain Longfu. ”

"yes, it's no wonder that the Magnet Islands aren't a popular place to explore treasures. ”

The dragon man nodded slightly, knowing that what the little bird and the gray two were talking about was a matter of cost.

Alchemy arrows are expensive, and the cost of this battle is too high.

Although there are also loot.

After the Earth Elemental is killed, there is a certain chance that the Earth Elemental Essence will be condensed from the corpse.

This is a common earth-based spell casting material, and it is also a commonly used alchemy material, with a low market price.

Outside of purity, the Magnet element will condense some magnets.

The price of these magnets is slightly higher than that of earth elemental essence, but it is also very limited.

The pay is completely disproportionate to the benefit.

But the dragon man boy was resolute: "Keep going, don't be afraid of consumption." Alchemy arrows are used for battle. ”

Since the boss said so, the gray, the bird and the others could only obey the order. Anyway, they don't pay for the alchemy arrows.

After three battles, the magnet island that everyone chose to land on was explored.

The dragon boy was about to take a dinghy to the next island, and soon realized that there was no need to do so.

The little magnet island beneath his feet was closing the distance to another.

Soon after, the two small islands slammed into each other, forming a larger island on the fly.

This is the peculiarity of the Magnet Islands.

These small islands are all movable, relying on magnetic forces to repel or attract each other.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to describe the topography of the Magnet Islands, because the terrain here is constantly changing. Every week, the terrain changes dramatically.

The Righteous Pirates set foot on the new land, cleared two more earthen elemental groups, and harvested some earth elemental essence and magnets of different sizes.

This exploration continued into the evening.

The little bird, who has been silently calculating the cost, has a heavy heart. The harvest is too meager, it's a blood loss.

If it is a normal environment, everyone can also use metal weapons to attack the earth elemental. Although this efficiency is relatively low, at least the cost is acceptable.

However, on the Magnet Islands, it is difficult for fighters to use their equipment, and their regular attack power is much reduced.

For the sake of efficiency, the use of alchemy arrows is quite costly.

Little Bird, Grey and Leaky Flute and others couldn't help but secretly admire the dragon man, and the captain never changed his face.

"My lord, there is a discovery!" As evening approached, the pirates who were exploring the path brought different news.

The eyes of the exhausted crowd suddenly lit up.
