Chapter 409: Treasure

This seems to have been written by the sailors of the "Seagull" cargo ship, and the diary is rather messy, but the copy makes it real enough to explain the cause and effect of why this cargo ship is here.

A small cargo ship, only running near the sea, but suddenly encountered strong winds and torrential rain, deviated from the course, and then the storm stopped, the ship actually appeared strangely on the periphery of the island that did not exist on the chart, all the communication equipment and direction finding tools were out of order, and could only be forced to anchor on the island.

The strange thing is that they didn't seem to encounter or see the floating corpses that Meng Xuan and the others saw, nor did they encounter the attacks of human-faced jellyfish and skinners, or when they first discovered this Hermons Island, there were actually no floating corpses in the far sea, and the strangeness of this island had not yet fully manifested?

According to the diary, the surviving sailors survived on the island for a long time, but saw no hope of leaving the island, so they prepared to explore the jungle, but this was strongly opposed by Rona, the captain of the ship, who believed that there was some terrible threat in the depths of the island, and that if they got closer, they would lose their lives faster.

At this time, the sailors seemed to realize that the captain named Rhone, whom they were once familiar with, seemed to be hiding some important information.

"If you think about it, since the accident, Rona seems to be acting really wrong, sometimes he will be in a daze for some reason, and he will not play Quentin with us at night, but often stand on the deck in a daze, sometimes looking at the starry sky, sometimes looking into the depths of the island, whenever he looks into the depths of the island, there will always be strange looks in his eyes, and now that I think about it, it should be fear."

"He was afraid of something, he did know something, we all blew up, the argument exploded like gunpowder, White rushed forward, grabbed him by the collar and confronted him, Morey, Charlotte, Gorman······ We thought they died in an accident, but now that we think about it, they all died of betrayal? What did Rona do? He betrayed us!! ”

"At this moment, Rhona's spirit seemed to suddenly collapse, I had never seen such a twisted and strange expression, that look that seemed to be mixed with self-reproach, sadness, fear and a little fanaticism······"

"That look flashed away, and he fell to his knees in front of us, tears streaming down his face, and recounting his experience."

"Just over a month before he went to sea, during the vacation period, his wife was diagnosed with a serious illness, and that is not a problem that money can solve, we all know that he and his wife have known each other since childhood, and in a way, his wife is his other life."

"He is like the end of the day, anxious, fearful, hesitant, but every day he has to pretend to be a reassuring smile in front of his wife, the huge mental and psychological pressure makes him insomnia all night, and even irrepressibly has some hallucinations."

"One night he told us that he had seen an island, and that darkness and dampness were his most intuitive feelings of the island, and in the very center of the island he saw something incomparably huge, which seemed to be a huge black horn with intricate lines engraved on it, and this black horn was as tall as the sky."

His mind could not suppress the thought of the island drifting away, he could not describe the shock in his heart and the fear of man in the face of such a majestic unknown spectacle, he did not understand why he did not struggle from the illusion in such a state of fear, and finally he entered the island, where he saw many indescribable wonders, forests of flesh and bones; a mire of blood and rotten flesh; Hanging high in a tree like a placenta, it will fly out of the hive of a deformed baby'; The white stump grows from the ground into a flower; The tree bears fruit that beats like a bright red heart·····"

He said that when he got to the back, he was moving forward with his eyes almost closed, and he did not dare to look at it at all, until he realized that he had stopped, and he found that he was standing in front of the great black horn, and on the surface of the huge black horn in front of him there was a deep and dark hole, and he always felt that it looked like the intestines of some kind of creature.

Holes in the Black Corner······

Seeing this, Meng Xuan and the others glanced at each other.

Is this the entrance to the cave that they were looking for in the quest?

"It seemed as if a voice was calling him into the deep passage of the black horn, and the voice seemed to say, 'Come in, I can grant all your wishes,' but he never dared to enter it."

The hallucinations lasted for about an hour, and Rhona thought it was the product of his stress, but the second night, the third night······ It lasted for seven days, and every night he would enter that hallucination, and gradually, he had a sense of absurdity, and that hallucination, perhaps, was not just a hallucination. ”

"It just so happened that his wife's condition was getting worse and worse, and finally one day, he walked into the cave, and he said that he felt a sensation of being swallowed and chewed, and then he woke up from his hallucinations."

"Nothing happened, and since that day, the hallucination has not appeared again, and just when Rona was depressed, his wife's condition miraculously improved, because the hallucination was so weird, so he never told us about it, but hid it in his heart."

"Then, at the end of the vacation, the first order we received was a storm, the ship deviated from the course, Rona said, when the storm disappeared and he saw this island, he was terrified, because this island was exactly the same as what he saw in his hallucination!!"

"He knew that it was what he had done in his hallucination that had brought us here, and he cried that he didn't know what it was all about, and that if he had known that such a thing would happen to him at sea, he would not have taken us to sea."

"He was crying profusely, his mouth saying Morey's name, and his head slammed wildly on the deck, thumping, and it didn't look like a fake."

"But we don't dare to trust him anymore, and no one knows what his hallucinations will bring us, or what is hidden in this island."

"Shit! I'd rather believe that this is a ridiculously absurd plot made up by some third-rate writer than that it's true! Maybe it's a coincidence? How can there be such a weird thing in the world?! ”

"He couldn't give us the key information, so we locked him up in the end, and the few of us who were left of us discussed it a little bit, and finally decided to explore the interior of the island, we can't be trapped here, if there is a cave in the depths of the island that can make people's wishes come true, we must find it and let it help us fulfill our wishes, which is much better than eating here and waiting for death."

"We chose a bright morning, took most of our equipment and dry food, and went into the forest."

"We were scared, we were cautious, but after going deep into the forest, we didn't encounter the strange things described by Rona, this jungle seems to be no different from other desert island jungles, but the wild things here don't know what they eat and grow up, they are all bigger than what we have seen, but the meat is more tender and juicy, I discussed with White, if we can leave this ghost place one day, we must take a pair of hares out to breed, maybe we can become the largest rabbit meat dealer in Qilan Country!"

"However, as we approached the center of the island, we did make some different discoveries, not something strange, it looked more like the remains of some buildings and sculptures, it seems that there were traces of some civilization here, and it is not exactly a desert island?"

"We found huge broken faces with bulging eyes, and some broken bricks, hidden in the woods, and we found something, vessels made of gold and silver, scattered among the ruins! They are strangely shaped, exquisitely made, and look very old, oh my God! We don't know what era these things belong to, but we can know with our butts that if these things are put in the largest Ende auction house in Qilan Country, one piece is enough for us to live a few lifetimes! Can make any collector crazy! ”

"Rich! This is not an island full of weirdness as Rhone said at all, it is simply a treasure hiding place used by ancient civilizations to bury treasures, this is a hidden island, unknown to the public, the storm brought us here by chance, as long as we find the materials to repair the ship, follow the current, and get out of here, we will all be high people!! ”

"Wine, mansions······ Everything we could imagine! No more motherdamn wind and sun, no longer have to look at this endless sea!! ”

"This is our blessed land!"

Meng Xuan and the others all frowned when they saw this, these sailors were obviously blinded by the treasure in front of them.

It's just that the situation in the depths of the forest is a little beyond their imagination, and there is only treasure in the depths of the island, and there is no danger? What nonsense?

However, thinking that when these people came to the island, they did not encounter the skinners on the periphery, and everyone felt a little relieved, when these sailors came here unexpectedly, the island should not have undergone much change, perhaps, it was their exploration that touched something, which would cause today's situation.

"Rona turned pale with horror as he looked at the treasure we had brought back, and he said that these were forbidden items that would bring us ominous."

"We ignored this guy, he was insane, he was a madman, maybe what he told us before was just his crazy words."

"We tied him up and continued our exploration program."

"As we explored, we had mastered the established route, and we were able to ensure that we would return to the wreck in time before nightfall, and at dusk on the seventh day, we saw a high mountain, and there was a huge cave on the mountain that seemed to be a natural formation, and there was a huge stone door on the cave, and there were some sculptures on the stone door, but we couldn't understand what it meant, it seemed to be a scene from an ancient war?"

"There are rusty metal chains wrapped around the stone gate, and we think that behind this stone gate, there is the greatest treasure on the island, and it must be an astonishing treasure! We couldn't wait to open the stone gate, however, it was getting late, and the jungle at night was dangerous, so we had to return and wait for tomorrow's action. ”

"It's another beautiful day, I feel hope and fortune beckoning to us, and today, we must open the stone gate and explore the ultimate treasure of this island······"

When everyone saw this, the diary had no content, and it seemed that after the sailors opened the stone door, they were never able to come back, so the diary came to an abrupt end here.

Hongluan quickly flipped a few pages back, and found that on the last page of the book, there was a very rough and scribbled road map, and it was obvious that the painter had not systematically learned to draw maps, so that this road map looked no different from a child's graffiti.

However, some key words can still be faintly seen, in the center of the figure, there is a stick figure similar to a stone door, and the word marked on it is - Treasure Gate.

"Looks like that's what Mission Two is looking for."

Hongluan looked at the stick figure stone door painting and said.

"It's unbelievable that the map was given so easily, and I always felt a little too weird."

Golden Horn said with a deep groan.

"When these sailors came to the island, there was nothing unusual on the island, and it was the same in the forest, they seemed to be attracted by special powers, according to the usual habits of similar events, maybe there was something terrible sealed in this island, those buildings, wreckage, statues and stone gates were some kind of seal of ancient civilization, which was mistaken for some kind of treasure by greedy sailors, and opened the seal and released anomalous things. It may be for this reason that they were lured to the island by some force. ”

Qingluan thought for a moment and said.

"The forest now is certainly different from what the sailors explored now, and after the anomaly is released, it may be closer to what the captain named Rhona saw in his hallucination."

"So, this map map may be able to quickly approach the cave entrance, but it may be hiding a greater risk."

Meng Xuan squinted, as if he had noticed something that no one else had noticed.

"We approach Shimen from other places, there will also be unknown dangers, and the speed is not necessarily faster than these routes, besides, this is a task item given by the system, the probability of fraud is not large, my suggestion is to conduct preliminary exploration according to the road map first, if there is a problem, we can avoid it in time."

Hongluan said.
