Chapter 550: Spell and Heaven
Back at the physiotherapy center, Zhou Xiaoya had just returned to his office and sat down, when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang, and when he took it out, he saw that it was Yin Ruyu calling.
Could it be that the date for going to sea has been set?
With this thought floating in his mind, Zhou Xiaoya's face was filled with excitement, and he immediately pressed the answer button.
"You prepare, let's leave tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon!"
As soon as the phone rang, Yin Ruyu's slightly stern voice came from the other end: "By the way, about Paradise Island, I have compiled a piece of information here, you kid went over this time, presumably the purpose is not only to receive the boat, for the sake of the small gift you promised, I will pass the information to you now!"
Then he didn't wait for Zhou Xiaoya to speak, and hung up the phone directly.
After being stunned for a while, a helpless wry smile on Zhou Xiaoya's face just floated, and the mobile phone suddenly vibrate.
This is exactly the movement transmitted by Youwen Jiàn.
Not daring to hesitate, Zhou Xiaoya hurriedly pressed the receive button. Soon, as the progress bar ended, the information about Paradise Island carefully arranged by Yin Ruyu was transmitted to Zhou Xiaoya's mobile phone.
After clicking on the information, Zhou Xiaoya quickly became obsessed.
According to this information, the so-called paradise island actually has another name in the secular world, and that is the famous "Spell Island"!
On the map, the island is just an inconspicuous speck in the vast Pacific Ocean, and if you fly by in a plane, you may not even notice its existence.
In the hundreds of years since its discovery, this island formed by the convergence of coral reefs has been cast as if under a spell, and countless deaths such as landings and shipwrecks have been linked to it!
Located in the west-central Pacific Ocean, this "Cursed Island" is a horseshoe-shaped coral atoll open to the north, with a total length of 98 kilometers, and only about 3 kilometers at its widest point.
The island is a natural harbor with a low and flat terrain of less than 20 meters above sea level, and some low-lying areas are submerged at high tide, and the lagoon in the center is 42 kilometers long, 11 kilometers wide, and 15 to 30 meters deep.
Although it is located near the equator, the strange thing is that the temperature here is extremely mild, with an average annual temperature of 20~28 °C, and the absolute maximum temperature rarely exceeds 30 °C. The entire island is rich in forests, with cocoa, palm, coconut and other trees, and the scenery is very pleasant.
Ever since the discovery of the island, it has been shrouded in mystery.
At the end of the eighteenth century, a treasure ship from Mexico sailed across the Pacific Ocean to the Philippines, and a strange thing happened one night.
It was because of this incident that the "Curse Island" began to appear in front of the world.
That night, the captain of the treasure ship went to bed at nine o'clock, as usual. But in the middle of the night, he suddenly woke up from his sleep, and looked around to find that he was no longer in bed, but on the deck, and his clothes and trousers were all on, as if he were sleepwalking, and as if by some mysterious summoning he had dressed himself and came to the deck in his sleep.
The captain was so shocked that he couldn't figure it out, so he turned back to the cabin below deck, undressed and went to bed again.
Soon after, however, he awoke from his dream again, and this time he was not in bed, but on the tower of the ship, and dressed as well, but had no idea how he had come here!
This bizarre thing happened twice in succession, and the captain was so frightened that he did not dare to close his eyes again this night, but bad luck quietly came at this time, and the treasure ship was suddenly unable to move for some reason, and although the sails were fully drawn and the sailors were vigorously rowed, they were still the same.
In desperation, the captain could only order a temporary anchor to rest, while organizing the crew to inspect the ship while waiting for dawn.
As a result, after dawn, a beautiful tropical island appeared in sight half a mile away.
At this moment, the treasure ship suddenly and inexplicably moved, and the captain thought that the island was a symbol of good luck and hope, so he ordered the ship to sail to this beautiful island half a mile away, and he was to lead the crew to land and enjoy the beautiful scenery of this tropical island.
If possible, he would even like to name it after himself, representing his great discovery!
It's a pity that the dream is sexy, but the reality is extremely skinny...... Just as the treasure ship approached a hundred meters away from this beautiful island, a loud sound suddenly came from the bottom of the ship - the treasure ship hit the rock.
A huge hole was pierced in the bottom of the ship, and the sea rushed into the cabin frantically, and the whole ship sank at a great speed.
After some efforts, the captain led the crew to rescue some belongings and some necessary daily necessities, and escaped to the island ahead in a lifeboat. With these things, they were able to make a living, hunting and fishing every day to keep their stomachs fed, and smoke rising on the island to attract the attention of passing ships.
During this period, several passing ships discovered the anomalies on the island and came to the rescue, but without exception, they either ran aground or sank, and more and more seafarers were shipwrecked on the island.
At this time, the Spanish colonial government finally realized that the situation was wrong, so it organized a huge fleet of ships in the following year, set sail from Mexico to the Philippines, and finally found the distress column on the island a week after the fleet entered the western Pacific waters, and finally rescued all the people after paying the heavy price of three ships sinking, and the time was already a year after the discovery of the island.
It was only at this time that the captain of the rescued treasure ship realized that this island, which could not be marked on the chart at all, and which was suspected to have never been discovered before, was not an island of luck at all, it was an island of doom at all!
Since then, this unnamed unnamed island has appeared on the charts of the Pacific Ocean, but in the following decades, the name of "Enchanted Island" has quietly spread as the "Enchanted Island" has quietly spread as a result of more or less accidents when ships approaching the island.
And the events that really made the island's "curse" famous happened during this time!
In the early 19th century, a Spanish pirate ship laden with gold, silver and jewels looted from the tombs of the Inca Empire in Peru fought to the death against another pirate ship in the Pacific Ocean, with heavy casualties on both sides.
Soon after, the pirate ship ran aground in the waters of Enchanted Island and could no longer sail. However, before the ship sank, the remaining pirates on board transferred all the treasure to Enchanted Island in small boats, and then the pirates stayed on the island for a while, and the treasure was hidden somewhere on the island.
It's a pity that in the end, none of them will have the life to enjoy this great wealth...... After the treasure was hidden, all kinds of ominous things began to occur in these remaining pirates, and in the next ten days, the original pirate team of more than 20 people died for various bizarre reasons, and finally only three people remained.
Unable to bear the torture of this inexplicable death, the three surviving pirates cast a huge shadow in their hearts, and they escaped from this mysterious island in a small boat with what little food was left.
After leaving the "Enchanted Island", their bad luck was immediately removed, and the gods of luck quickly favored them, and after only one day and one night, they encountered a sea ship, which in the vast ocean had a pitiful chance.
The three of them were quickly rescued from the ship that happened to pass by, and at this moment they had long since moved away from the "Enchanted Island" with the current, but out of fear, the three pirates still told everything that had happened before, perhaps they were trying to find someone to share the deep fear in their hearts.
However, the three pirates were silent about the location of the gold and silver treasures of the ship, and none of them were willing to reveal them.
In the end, on this very night, all three of them died without a problem!
Since then, the prestige of "Enchanted Island" has spread completely.
Over the next 100 years, groups of treasure hunters set foot on this mysterious island in the heart of the Pacific Ocean, but few of them managed to escape in one piece, and the legendary gold and silver treasures filled with an entire pirate ship have not been found for hundreds of years!
Gradually, a legend began to spread.
The gold and silver treasures buried on the island are all ill-gotten gains, but they are the burial goods in the mausoleum of the mysterious Inca Empire in Peru, and the great Inca ancestors have already cast a spell on these treasures, and all the people and things related to it will suffer bad luck......
Although this legend may sound very unreliable, in fact, in the more than 100 years since the treasure was buried, groups of treasure hunters have indeed suffered various misfortunes.
After the outbreak of the "Pearl Harbor Incident" in World War II, the Japanese occupied the island and tried to build a forward military base here, but in the following six months, a large group of Japanese engineers stationed on the island died one after another. Under these circumstances, the Japanese had no choice but to abandon the island, and when a brigade of sappers left, only thirty-six remained, and all of them died in the ensuing battle for Kuah Island.
Later in the war, the U.S. military also occupied the island and prepared to build an airfield on it, but there were many unknown incidents, and about 100 U.S. soldiers were killed inexplicably. In this case, the Americans also gave up their intention to occupy the island, and simply included it in the American map and ignored it again.
It was precisely because of this series of events that the "Enchanted Island" became more and more eerie, and by the middle of the twentieth century, with the outbreak of the Cold War, few people were willing to fight the idea of the so-called "Inca treasures" that they didn't know if they really existed.
And it was from this time that groups of special treasure hunters began to set foot here.
These people are not ordinary people in the secular world, but ancient forces from various countries and regions around the world.
At first, the goal of this team sent by the ancient forces of various countries and regions was indeed to find the so-called "Inca treasure", after all, the rumored wealth of billions of dollars was not a small amount, but after repeated searches to no avail, they gradually lost interest.
On the contrary, after more than ten years of development, these members of the organization of the ancient forces from various countries and regions around the world have come to this magic island again and again, and gradually have contacts and exchanges, and have actually developed this place into a place similar to Shang Daofang City.
Subsequently, the ancient power "Beyond the Gods" from the Americas, through Guò Guanguan, purchased the islands from the U.S. government and began to build a commercial center, and later gradually resold the rights in order to attract other ancient forces to settle in.
Since then, this "Enchanted Island" in the eyes of ordinary people in the secular world has been transformed into a paradise for the disciples and members of all the ancient forces in the world to gather and trade and exchange, and the reputation of "Paradise Island" has not gone away......
