The water swelled violently, rolling one layer after another towards the center of the island.

Steve swung the wheel and ordered the crew to tighten the rope and stay away from the island.

At the center of the island's disappearance, a large number of bubbles emerge from the bottom of the sea.

Bang bang bang!

！

The sound of the sea sounded all around.

The island, which had disappeared, resurfaced from the bottom of the sea.

It's just that the island has changed now.

Not only has the island become huge, but even the scenery on the island has changed dramatically.

The island that rises to the surface is densely jungled and overgrown with trees, making it even darker and gloomy.

Steve docked the ship to shore, smoked a cigarette and shouted, "Get off board!" ”

Jiang Linxian followed Steve's figure to the shore and asked curiously, "Can this witch control an island?" So powerful? “

"How else can you become a witch?" Steve laughed.

"She is omniscient and omnipotent, and in the Sea of Chaos, except for the sea ghost god Natis, she is the most mysterious and powerful."

"And he wants to know how to remove the trident from my arm?" Jiang Linxian said.

Although he was considered to be the one who was swept up by the sea ghosts, the trident on his arm made him very unhappy.

Steve glanced at Jiang Linxian, stopped talking, and walked quietly into the forest.

Several other seafarers followed.

The forest was very quiet, with a few crows crowing on the black, dry branches.

Steve seems to be familiar with the woods' paths, and it's clear that this isn't his first time here.

While Jiang Linxian and other members are different.

Witches they've only heard of, but they've never seen them.

There are very few pirates who can know about the existence of witches.

And Steve happens to be one of them.

After walking for an hour and a half, Steve and Jiang Linxian arrived at the very center of the island.

There is a spring in the very center of the island.

The spring water is bubbling and gurgling.

Steve turned his head to look at the members and reminded, "Remember to keep up with me." ”

As he spoke, his entire burly body tilted in an instant, plunging headlong into the bubbling spring.

Just disappear.

Jiang Linxian and the other members looked at each other.

But they didn't hesitate.

Jiang Linxian took the lead and plunged directly into the spring.

Helena followed, followed by the rest of the group.

The spring water soaked his skin, and Jiang Linxian plunged into the spring water without any feeling of suffocation.

His body quickly fell into the spring.

All sorts of fish swam past him.

In a few breaths, Jiang Linxian's body seemed to break free from the spring water and landed firmly on the ground.

The surrounding scene has changed dramatically.

The sea seems to be blocked by an invisible barrier, leaving a space.

Outside the space, there is sea water and various underwater creatures.

Jiang Linxian felt like he was in the underwater world, and the surrounding scenery attracted his attention.

Steve stood at the front, looking up at the witch in front of him.

The witch's body is transparent, and her long hair is spread out, as if floating on the bottom of the sea.

She was undressed, her upper body was like a humanoid, and her lower body was like a sea jellyfish's tentacles, floating irregularly.

At this moment, she was levitating in the air, floating up and down at the group of members who had entered.

"Steve." The witch's voice was ethereal, echoing through the space that was cut off from the sea.

Her lithe body swam in the water, and she came to Steve.

The soft, boneless, transparent body rotated around Steve a few times before floating steadily in front of Steve.

"The last time I saw you, I remember it was five years ago."

"You're here today, what's important?"

Steve spoke softly, "Lord Witch, I need the Explorer, I heard that this ship is on the Lost Isle. ”

"But I don't know where the Lost Isle is?"

Hearing the words Explorer and Lost Island, Helena and the other members couldn't help but be shocked for a while.

"Steve, didn't you say you're going to take us in search of treasure? Why did you get to Lost Island again? Aegis, a thin male ghost, asked in surprise, "Did you lie to us?" ”

Steve turned his head to look at him and smiled, "Please call me Captain Steve." ”

"Okay...... Captain Steve, I think you've cheated on us. Russell stood up and questioned, "We are willing to accompany you to sea for the sake of treasure at a very low hire price, but now you want to go to the Lost Island to find the Explorer." ”

"This sea ship has been heard in legends."

"How can you find treasure without a powerful ship as a safeguard?"

Steve first glanced at Jiang Linxian, and then explained softly: "Since I promised you to find the treasure, naturally I will not lose my word. ”

"You'd better not lie to us." Helena smiled, she twisted her bumpy figure, and walked to Jiang Linxian's side: "Little handsome guy, did you say you lied to us?" ”

"You think I'm going to lie to you?" Jiang Linxian's fingers trembled lightly a few times, and he said, "I still think that Captain Steve will deceive you." ”

"Hopefully, neither." Billy Jr. and Marc said in unison.

"We only like the glittering gold, but we don't want to lose our way on the Lost Island and never come back."

Steve tilted his head and said confidently, "Of course, Captain Steve never cheats on his crew. ”

The sound of laughter like silver bells echoed through the space.

The corners of the witch's mouth, suspended in front of Steve's eyes, showed a graceful arc.

Like a lover, he looked at Steve affectionately: "I know the place on Lost Island, but Steve, you should know my rules." ”

"You have to exchange it for something of equal value."

Steve fumbled in his pocket and tossed a dark gold coin.

The coin is engraved with a skull on both sides, which emits a deep green light.

The entire coin exudes a terrifying ghostly aura, like a living thing.

"That's enough, right?"

The tentacles of the witch's lower body caught the ghostly skull coin and examined it carefully.

"Death Coins." The witch said with interest, "I heard that throwing it into a specific place can make creatures reborn. ”

"You're pretty knowledgeable." Steve said.

"But you have this good thing, why don't you keep it for yourself and give it to me as a trade?"

The witch was a little surprised, and looked at Steve with a confused smile.

The latter smoked a cigarette, shook his head and said, "I am already immortal, and it is useless to keep it." ”

"Moreover, this Death Coin is just a legend, and no one can find a place to use it."

"Then it's useless for you to give it to me." The witch chuckled, "I don't need anything like that either. ”

She glanced at Jiang Linxian behind Steve.

The eye is instantly attracted.

She quickly floated over, spun around Jiang Linxian, and looked at him with obsessive eyes: "It's a perfect human, Steve, why don't you exchange him." ”

】

"It seems like a good option for a stinky rat to exchange information on the Lost Island."

When Jiang Linxian heard this, his nerves suddenly tensed.

The witch didn't look normal, but he couldn't figure it out.

Jiang Linxian shook his head randomly: "I can't, if you want, you can choose that parrot." ”

Jiang Linxian moved quickly, grabbed the parrot on Steve's shoulder in his hand, and shot him in the head.

Blowing the muzzle of the flintlock pistol, Jiang Linxian said to the witch very seriously: "A parrot that can't be killed, this is not much more interesting than me." ”

"When you're lonely, you can take it to vent."

"By the way, it can talk."

At this moment, the parrot waved its wings in Jiang Linxian's hands, and shouted strangely: "Exchange him, exchange him!"

！ ”

"It's really funny." The witch looked at Jiang Linxian with interest, as if she was looking at a work of art.

Jiang Linxian always felt hairy all over his body, and his back was cold.

He wasn't so nervous when he met the ghost ship.

"Witch, don't be kidding." Steve turned around and said, "Jack is my crew, I can't exchange it for you." ”

"One Death Coin is enough to exchange news of the Lost Island."

The witch turned around and floated in front of Steve, pocketing the Reaper Coin.

"Alright, Steve, then take this Reaper Coin in exchange for an item, and I'll tell you where the Lost Isle is."

With that, the witch turned and drifted to a place where the sea was blocked.

A transparent tentacle stretched out of the barrier space and submerged into the sea.

Immediately afterward, a large school of tiny fish swam towards her arm, enveloping her entire arm.

The witch withdrew her arm from the water.

In the palm of her hand, there was an extra map.

"Steve, this is the map to the Lost Island."

Steve stepped forward to take the map, took a casual glance, and then took it into his arms.

"The deal is complete, Great Witch." Steve said with a deep look in his eyes.

"It's just an equivalent exchange." The witch looked away, drifted to Jiang Linxian's side, and chuckled, "If you need to exchange anything next time, remember to tell me." ”

"I'd be happy to accept this human in exchange."

Jiang Linxian turned his head and didn't look at the witch.

"I've seen quite a few humans, but you seem unusual." The witch was not annoyed by Jiang Linxian's ignorance, but looked at Jiang Linxian with great interest: "There is a trace of calamity wrapped around your body. ”

"There's still a little bit of light."

"You've been to the Triangle of Death, and you seem to have been under the tutelage of the ghosts and gods of the sea. ”

"I'm curious, how long can you live."

"Calamity?" Jiang Linxian turned his head to stare at the witch and asked curiously, "What calamity does I have?" ”

"Also, what does it mean how long I can live?"

"Calamity is very mysterious, it can't be seen or touched, but it can appear at any time and at any time." The witch said of the ethereal: "You are haunted by calamity, full of death. Danger can be encountered at any time. ”

"But I see another glimmer of hope in you."

"Is there any way to crack it?" Jiang Linxian asked.

"It's up to you." After the witch finished speaking, she drifted into the distance: "If you are willing to stay here and serve me for five years, I may tell you." ”

The witch's words were so subtle that she seemed to have said a lot, and she didn't seem to have said anything, and he couldn't understand it.

It's just an old riddler.

It's like an old gentleman who tells fortunes under the overpass, and makes a layman pay the money obediently.

Moreover, he felt that the witch's words were only cursing himself to death.

"Hope to see you next time Steve comes back here." The witch added again.

Jiang Linxian did not speak again.

The next time Steve comes, he'll probably have finished the copy.

Or, Steve dies under his own flintlock pistol.

"Let's go." Steve turned his head and walked towards the middle column of water.

His body slowly moved upwards and left the space.

The others followed in his footsteps and walked into the middle of the water.

Jiang Linxian finally entered the water column.

After the other members left, Jiang Linxian asked curiously, "Mistress Witch, what do you think of the plane fusion and demons?" ”

"This is the great catastrophe of the Chaos World...... "The witch said lightly, as if she were out of the ordinary.

......

After coming out of Spirit Island and getting on the boat, Steve drove the sea boat to his destination, the Lost Island.

As Steve's ship leaves, Spirit Island sinks to the bottom of the ocean again.

When it reappeared, it reverted to its former island appearance.

After Aegis boarded the ship, he found Steve again: "Captain Steve, at first, we didn't know that we were going to the Lost Island to find the legendary Explorer. ”

"So the price we were hired at the time may need to be renegotiated."

"After all, the time to go to sea has been much longer."

"How about doubling it again?" Steve said seriously.

"I think it's going to take five times as much." Aegis said solemnly.

"Lost Island is rumored to be dangerous, so going to such a place and whether you can come back alive is a question mark."

Steve smiled, looked at Jiang Linxian with a strange expression, and said, "You can talk to my deputy captain about this." ”

Jiang Linxian looked a little embarrassed.

If it is directly multiplied by five times, he will lose money, which is a loss-making business.

He couldn't do it.

But he can't say anything about taking rebates at a lower price.

Jiang Linxian only regarded them as cannon fodder at first, after all, they were ghosts, and it didn't matter to him.

So I was careful about the price.

Now that Anjis asks for five times the price, Jiang Linxian will definitely not give it.

He came to Aegis and said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about money, I won't treat you badly." ”

"When we get the treasure, we can give you more of the treasure."

"Even if I give you five times the commission now, you won't have anywhere to use it."

"That's what you said." Aegis said solemnly: "But to prove that you are telling the truth, I hope to be able to pay us double the commission first." ”

"Of course that's fine." Jiang Linxian said with a smile.

Even if he paid twice more, he only went out for 4,000 Chaos Coins, and he still earned a thousand.

Not bad either.

After paying the money, the faces of the other members looked much better.

Work harder.

Jiang Linxian walked up to the helm and said to Steve: "Captain Steve, the commission you gave doesn't seem to be enough, do you need to pay me a little more?" ”

"You think I don't know what commission you're talking about?"

Steve sneered.

The parrot standing on his shoulder suddenly shouted, "Blackheart Jack! Blackheart Jack! Blackheart Jack! ”

Jiang Linxian looked at the parrot and wanted to make a move, but he still held back.

In the end, there is no talk about it.

The ship continues to sail above the sea, and Steve sails with a map of the Lost Island and a compass.

After two days at sea, Steve rang the bell one early morning.

"Crew, the Lost Island has arrived!"
