Dusty stone gates, dilapidated houses, slightly weathered stone buildings, slightly damp smells.

There was something strange about the scene in front of me.

If this is Edward's lair, it has been at least a hundred years ago.

And they should be the first guests to come here, and the ones who are about to find the treasure.

Ji Chen first came to the dilapidated house, stretched out his hand and gently pushed the door open.

Knock –

As soon as the fingers touched, the rotting wooden door collapsed, stirring up a cloud of dust.

He took a few steps back, and waited until the dust had fallen before he stepped inside.

Most of the furniture in the house is badly decayed, except for a few pieces of stone furniture that are still intact, with large holes in the eaves and vines and weeds hanging from the holes.

At a glance, he saw the emanating crystals on a stone table.

But before he could get closer, the crystal suddenly shone brightly, casting a figure in front of the stone table.

The figure was dressed in a pirate costume, with a black blindfold covering his right eye, and the only remaining eye revealed cruelty and cunning, even if it was just a projection, but he could feel a bit of the momentum of his life.

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes, if he guessed correctly, this person should be the pirate Edward.

I saw this illusory projection staring ahead, and his tone was arrogant and unruly, as if he was ignoring everything.

"If anyone finds this place, then congratulations, you are only one step away from finding the treasure buried by the great pirate Edward of the Western Middle Seas."

"I have been crisscrossing the West and the Middle Ocean for more than ten years, and I have plundered countless ships, merchant ships, warships, and even the warships of the kingdom!"

"The whole of the West and the Ocean is trembling under my 'Whitebeard', and no one dares to disagree."

Hearing this, Ji Chen skimmed his lips, what he said so badly, didn't he get seriously injured in the end and come back here in a gloomy way?

Why do you think you want to rob the ships of the kingdom?

Isn't it good to bully and bully merchant ships? I want to die.

After all, no matter how powerful a ship is, it is impossible to stand against an entire fleet.

Edward's projection showed a hint of resentment, "If it wasn't for a traitor who betrayed me and revealed my whereabouts to the enemy, how could I have been surrounded?" ”

"Although I escaped the encirclement in the end, I also received incurable injuries as a result, which made my body weaken day by day."

"When he knew that my time had come, he returned here with all his riches, and the Whitebeard, and ordered his men to bury all their wealth in the grave with my body when I died."

"I've also drawn a few treasure maps in advance, and if the lucky ones I find it, they'll take all the wealth I've plundered all my life's worth of looting!"

As he spoke, Edward's face flashed with encouragement, "If you're a pirate, then I have another treasure for you - my 'Whitebeard'." ”

Speaking of this, a little interest appeared in Ji Chen's eyes.

"The Whitebeard is the most powerful warship in the waters of the Western Middle Ocean, and getting it is equivalent to having the capital to dominate the ocean!"

"I've hidden it in a very secret place, and no one can find it, but I can tell you that the clue to it is in my tomb, so go find it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Edward's projection vanished.

Kela –

The crystals dimmed and fell apart, leaving behind a band of pirates looking at each other.

Ji Chen touched his chin and digested this information.

It looks like the pirates say it's not too far from what the pirates say.

The pirate Edward was indeed seriously wounded during the siege and fled back with all his wealth and buried him in a tomb.

But what he didn't expect was, in addition to these riches.

Edward's flagship, the Whitebeard, also survived.

To be able to escape under the encirclement of a main fleet would have been a very powerful battleship, at least much more powerful than the Crescent.

For this ship, he is bound to get it.

Ji Chen looked at the crystal.

After the crystal shattered, a large metal key fell out of it, which was supposed to be used to open the stone door.

Because of the wrapping, it doesn't look rusty, and it's intact.

Without delay, he walked out of the house and came to the stone gate.

Soon a low stone pillar was found on the side of the portal, with a jack at the top.

Insert the key and twist it firmly.

With a rumbling sound, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a downward-facing staircase.

The passage is so dark that the bottom is not visible to the naked eye.

"The Naga warriors are in front of the way, and the sea elves are ready to respond."

"Spallo, you're guarding the door with half pirates, half shallow fishmen, on guard against possible enemies."

Sparrow nodded solemnly, "I'll definitely pay more attention." ”

After Sparrow became a green hero, his combat power increased greatly, and it was very reassuring for him to defend the back road.

Ji Chen bowed his head slightly, motioning for the other pirates to light the torches.

The torches were lit without incident, which meant that there was air inside the tomb.

Seeing this, he also relieved himself and began to march downward with the rest of the army.

The flames dispelled the darkness and illuminated the steps downward.

I don't know if it's his delusion, the more I go down, the more eerie it becomes, and there is a chilling feeling on my skin.

But I didn't care too much about it.

After all, this is Edward's tomb, and since it is a tomb, it is quite normal to be gloomy.

The tall body of the Naga warrior, like a shield, gives a heavy sense of security.

Sea elves also flew around, and no one would have thought that these harmless little cuties possessed terrifying destructive power.

The shallow sea fishmen are clustered around, and their dull appearance is not even reminiscent of it, and their tridents are capable of piercing through gold-cracked stones.

It seems that only the pirates are as fierce as they look.

At this point, the pirates were excited.

They were very interested in the treasures of the legendary great pirate Edward, who were also pirates.

Pirates love nothing more than money.

Edward plundered the wealth of the West for more than ten years, which was enough to make the dragon tempted.

Unexpectedly, this step was very long, and Ji Chen estimated that they had already walked dozens of meters.

The rough rock walls on both sides cracked and leaked water from them, and wisps of water flowed down the steps, making the passage even more wet.

Obviously, this was not built in a hurry by Edward before his death, but had already begun to build a tomb for himself.

But Edward probably didn't expect that he himself would die so quickly.

"My lord, we're almost at the bottom." Alice whispered.

Ji Chen stared at it, and the steps had come to the end and came to a platform.

What catches your eye is an underground space of thousands of square meters, which is more like an underground pool than an underground space.

Except for the high platform in the center and the platform at the foot, the rest of the place is filled with water.

There is an elaborate sarcophagus on the high platform.

Inside, presumably, Edward's bones were contained.

Ji Chen looked left and right, but didn't find the so-called treasure there.

Could it be in the water?

Thinking of this possibility, he waved his hand and let a few shallow fishmen jump into the pool to investigate.

Whoop -

The shallow sea fishmen jumped into the water one after another, splashing everywhere, and the posture of entering the water was zero.

But soon, they surfaced and shook their heads.

Two fish-men took out a few white bones from the water and held them up on their heads to ask for merit.

Ji Chen couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Suddenly, the pool shook violently, and the water rippled as if it had been shaken.

At the same time, a dense number of red dots appeared on the all-sighted map.

He reacted quickly - the enemy was in the pool!

"All on alert! Stay away from the pool and watch out for the enemies in the water! ”

Whether it was a pirate or a Naga warrior, they all did not hesitate to retreat a distance after hearing the order.

One by one, the blue-white figures rushed out of the water, suspended above the water like gravity.

Although the body is a little illusory, you can still see that these figures are dressed as pirates.

Pirate dress-up... Ji Chen had some conjectures in his heart.

Randomly gaze at them to see their panel information.

【Ghost Pirate】

[Race]: Undead

[Level]: 13

[Rank]: 3rd order 2 stars

[Skill]: Soul Attack (Blue Skill, able to deal soul damage)

Soul Prisoner (Blue skill, souls can't leave underground space)

[The pirate who was killed by Edward and buried with him was disturbed by outsiders, and he was full of resentment at this time]

Soul Attack!

Immune to physical damage and mind control!

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes.

It's the first time I've encountered such monsters, and Alice's singing shouldn't work well against them, so it seems that we should be careful with them.

Just now, two teasing fishmen took a few bones out of the water, and it is estimated that this is why these undead are alarmed.

I don't know how many pirates were killed by Edward and buried, but there was a steady stream of ghost pirates rushing out of the water in front of them, staring at Ji Chen with a pair of rolled eyes.

"I hate it... Edward... Why do you want us to be buried with you..."

"Why bother us... Come with us... Stay here..."

"Hurry up and put the bones... Give it back to me..."

The ghost pirates muttered intermittently, and then rushed over like a cyan wave.

Ji Chen's eyes froze, and his hands were raised.

The water in the pool hung upside down, condensing into hundreds of blades in the air.

Palm down slightly.

The blade of water was scattered at the onrushing ghost pirate, silent, but full of murderous intent.

"Ahh

Z-

Like the sound of water falling into a pan of oil, a puff of white smoke rose as soon as the blade made contact with the ghost pirate's body.

They let out a high-pitched and painful howl, as if they were in great pain.

Seeing this, Ji Chen's eyes showed a hint of joy.

Spell attacks work wonders for these things.

"Sea elves, shoot them hard!"

Hearing the command, the cuties flapped their wings behind their backs, their bulging faces became serious, and their staffs waved.

Phew-

Boom –

Water arrows filled with intense energy burst out and exploded violently on the ghost pirate's body.

The movement of hundreds of water arrows exploding at the same time made the entire underground space shake for a while.

But it was like a hornet's nest, and more ghost pirates emerged from the pool.

Ji Chen had no fear on his face, his hands moved, and countless water blades condensed and shot out one after another.

Three or four water blades can destroy one.

Barely on the edge of the rain of water, these ghost pirates struggled to move forward.

The power and power of the Tidelord class are evident at this moment.

In the small underground space, violent explosions and ghostly howls swayed.

Nearly half an hour of fighting.

When the last ghost pirate was eliminated, a system prompt came in my ears.

"Ding~.... With 35,800 XP, your level has increased by (11→12)..."

Ji Chen exhaled and smiled slightly.

This gave him quite a lot of experience points, and it directly promoted him to one level.

In addition to him, the ranks of the rest of the classes have also been increased.

Except for the sea elves who are only level 10, the rest are all level 11~12.

Alice has reached level 13, which is at the top of all classes.

Seeing that there were no ghost pirates emerging from the water again, Ji Chen looked at the high platform in the center.

The entire underground space, only that has not been searched.

Although it is not ethical to open someone else's coffin, Edward did not leave the treasure in a conspicuous place, so he cannot be blamed for opening the museum to take a look.

Condensed into a pontoon bridge on the surface of the water, Ji Chen walked over and walked onto the high platform.

Motioning to the four Naga warriors, pry the lid of the coffin up.

Crunch –

The heavy lid of the coffin was slowly pried up and pulled away, rubbing against the coffin body harshly.

Ji Chen stared at the sarcophagus and couldn't help but be stunned.

There were no corpses in the sarcophagus, only a crystal and a parchment map.

Just when he was stunned.

The crystals glowed, casting a shadow of Eward.

I saw him laugh.

"Unknown treasure hunter, when you see this projection, it means that you have passed the little test I left behind and are eligible to get my treasure."

"Cowards and weaklings are not entitled to my treasures,"

"I won't say anything more, the map in the sarcophagus can find the hiding place of the 'Whitebeard', I hope you can treat it well and make their prestige famous again!"

As soon as the words fell, the crystal shattered neatly, and the Edward projection disappeared.

Ji Chen and Alice stared at each other and fell into silence.

So.

Where is your treasure?

Suddenly, as if the mechanism had been touched, the surrounding pools shook slightly, and the water level dropped rapidly, gradually revealing the white bones laid underneath.

Layers of white bone and silt completely covered the bottom of the pool.

These bones are supposed to be the pirates who accompanied the burial, who were killed by Eward and left here, and because of their resentment, they were able to survive in the form of undead as a test.

Ji Chen touched his chin, and his head flashed.

"Sea Elf, fire a water arrow at the bottom of the pool!"

Water arrows shoot out and explode in the white bones of the forest.

Broken bones splattered, and the sludge scattered.

Seeing something further down, everyone's hearts beat violently.

Underneath, there is a layer of shiny gold coins!

On it together
