Chapter 301: Lost Island
Rough waves lap against the boats, and some fragments of the reef hide beneath the surface.
A thick black fog shrouded the sea ahead, rising and shrinking.
Jiang Linxian's eyes tried to see the depths of the dense fog, but these inky black dense fogs couldn't see the scene inside at all.
"Captain Steve, do we still need to move forward?" Aegis clenched the sail rope with both hands and shouted.
The inky black fog in front of him was like an abyss, as if anything that entered it would be swallowed up by it.
Steve, who kept fiddling with the rudder, bit his cigarette holder and said as usual, "Of course." ”
"The Expedition is one of them, and we can't go home empty-handed."
"Captain Steve, this fog is too thick, should we wait for it to subside before moving forward." Billy Jr. asked, apprehensively.
Originally, he wasn't worried much about the Lost Island, but after seeing the inky fog, he had already retreated.
It is so dark and dark, and you can't see the sun, if you really enter it, I'm afraid you really won't be able to get out.
If the Expedition ship really enters it and is lost in the waters of this island, then they will not escape the fate of being lost if they enter it.
"Pirates who are brave enough to explore can obtain more valuable wealth." Steve was unmoved and smiled heartily.
The ship slowly moved into the dark fog, and the rolling waves outside the fog became unusually calm, like extinguished fireworks.
The surrounding water is like a black mist, and it is pitch black.
It's as if the whole ship is sailing in an abyssal black hole.
Jiang Linxian took out the Hidden Mirror and checked it a little, but he didn't find any valuable information.
He put away the props and asked Steve, "Steve...... Captain, we didn't see an island when we entered it, is there really a Lost Island in this area? ”
"The entire sea shrouded in black fog is within the scope of the Lost Island, and the Lost Island is in the middle of the sea." Steve pulls out his compass, and the hands on it are spinning rapidly.
It was clear that his ship had lost its direction when it sailed into the strange sea shrouded in black fog.
Steve now needs to not only calmly discern his direction, but also pay attention to the reef at the bottom of the sea.
Isn't that a lot to him?
After all, the waters in this sea area are also as dark as ink, and it is difficult to observe those hidden reefs.
The sea ship moved slowly under his roulette, the black fog around it was still shrinking and rolling, and some of the broken wreckage of the sea ship floated on the surface of the sea, Jiang Linxian and the other crew members could see through the black fog model lake.
It seems that there are quite a few ships coming in to explore, but their luck is not too good, and most of them crash into the reef and are destroyed.
Some of them seemed to have been shattered into pieces by some kind of strong blow.
In addition to this, the reef that surfaced contained the stumps of corpses, as well as the decaying bodies and internal organs of unknown creatures.
There are also creatures whose bodies have become skeletons.
The hollow eye sockets on the skull covered with filthy seaweed emitted an eerie dark green light, as if watching the direction of Steve's ship.
Helena stared at the movement above the dark sea with a serious and nervous gaze, her sword at her waist in one hand, her burgundy hair swaying gently in the black mist.
A few strange screams echoed in the distance.
The surface of the sea suddenly rippled, and it seemed that some creature had dived to the bottom of the sea.
Jiang Linxian looked up at Steve and asked curiously, "How long will it take to get to the island?" ”
"It's coming." Steve swung the boat and said calmly.
His face was expressionless, his expression was as usual, and he showed no interest in any of the weird and thrilling scenes around him.
Now he was focused on sailing, setting foot on the shores of the Lost Isle early, and then finding the Expedition.
Katsa......
Squeaky ......
Thundered......
The ship suddenly shook violently, as if it had hit a reef.
The slow-moving ship quickly came to a standstill.
Steve was stunned for a moment, let go of his hands holding the rudder, and said with a serious expression: "It seems to have hit a reef, fellow partners, we can only take a small boat forward." ”
When Russell heard Steve's words, his face showed horror and unease: "Looks like we're trapped here. ”
"Captain Steve, we shouldn't have promised you to go to the Lost Isles, we're probably all lost here now, never to get out."
Steve's sharp gaze looked over, as if to warn the bald fat man not to complain.
Aegis and Helena and the rest of the team, though upset, began to turn the winch and lower the cable.
Two small wooden boats were lowered into the sea, and Jiang Linxian followed Steve into the same small wooden boat.
Helena followed, along with the scrawny Aegis.
The other three members were seated on top of another sea boat.
"Abandon ship, abandon ship, abandon ship!"
The green-and-red parrot flapped its wings and flew off the crossbar of the mast and landed firmly on the shoulders of Steve's black cloak.
The one-eyed glowed green in the black mist, flickering.
When Jiang Linxian heard the parrot calling, he was very angry and wanted to slaughter it on the spot.
Aegis sat at the stern of the small wooden boat, carefully holding the oars at the stern, rowing hard one after the other.
The two small wooden boats quickly left the ship and headed deeper into the black fog.
The surroundings were as dark and quiet as ever.
Helena whispered the story of the Expedition.
"The captain of the Expedition's sea vessel is Doral Bachmann."
"He's a young and promising captain at sea, and he's got a lot of experience."
"Captain Doral has a strong desire to explore the Sea of Chaos."
"So after he traveled a lot of Chaos Sea Mysterious Sea, he had a stronger idea about the Chaos Sea."
"He spent a lot of money and spent ten years to build the Expedition ship, wanting to completely explore the entire Chaos Sea and draw a map of the entire sea area of the Chaos Sea."
"It's just that after less than a few months of sailing, the Explorer disappeared into the waters of the Lost Island, and it has not been seen until now."
"Some say that the Expedition has been sunk by a sea monster to the bottom of the sea, while others believe that the Explorer is still on the Lost Island, and there are different theories."
"So it's extremely risky for us to enter the Lost Island to find the Explorer this time, and if we don't get it right, we can only find a pile of wreckage."
After Helena finished speaking, she stared curiously at Steve, who was not saying a word and only cared about smoking, she was eager to hear what the initiator had to say.
Steve touched the feathers of the parrot on his shoulder, and said, "The legend is exaggerated, and I can only tell you that the Expedition is still there." ”
"And it's on the Lost Island."
Jiang Linxian stared at Steve's dark cheeks full of vicissitudes, and judging from his facial expressions, it seemed that he was not lying.
"Shh......h
Before Helena could say a few more words, Aegis, who was holding the oars, suddenly made a silent motion.
His sunken cloudy eyes stared at the sea ahead, and he quietly pointed ahead with his hand.
The rest of the group looked ahead.
Inky calm sea.
Phantom ghost hands stretched out from the bottom of the sea.
These ghost hands are swinging around, grabbing and grabbing.
The dense ghost hands made Jiang Linxian and the others' scalps numb, as if each pair of ghost hands represented a dead undead.
The small wooden boat slowly passed through the hands of these ghosts who had emerged from the sea.
There was a slight tremor from the bottom of the boat.
These ghost hands came out of the sea to try to overturn the two small wooden boats.
Helena stared at the shocking ghost hands around her, with a serious expression: "It seems that the Lost Island has buried many sea adventurers who have explored......"
"Every pair of arms here represents a living being."
Sitting on top of another small wooden boat, Marc shuddered and curled up together, trembling and whispering, "We're all going to die here and be one of these undead." ”
"We shouldn't have listened to Steve and come to a place like this!"
"Steve killed us!"
His voice suddenly became so loud that it pierced the entire sea.
The surrounding black fog suddenly stopped, and then surged violently.
Above the calm sea, the swaying movements of these ghost hands sticking out of the sea became more and more violent.
An attempt was made to overturn the two small boats completely.
Russell hurriedly stepped forward to cover Markle's big mouth and immobilized his body.
"Your voice could kill us." Russell whispered, his expression inexplicably more nervous.
"If we wake up a sleeping sea monster, we may all be buried in this sea."
"Speed up and get ashore." Steve urged.
The view in front of me was obstructed by the black fog, and it was impossible to see where the beach where the Lost Island landed was.
The small wooden boat was twice as fast as Aegis moved forward with all his might.
Quack Quack ......
In the depths of the black mist, the death cries of crows were heard.
Jiang Linxian silently pulled out the Soul Ghost Stick, observing the movements around him, not daring to relax in any way.
Swish!
An extremely long, vertical black shadow flew rapidly from the black mist in the distance, directly swept over the small wooden boat, and headed towards the stern of the boat.
The members of the ship all looked towards the dark shadow.
"What was that?" Little Billy didn't see the phantom clearly, its speed was too fast, and the black fog hindered it, there was no chance to see it clearly.
"It looks like a tentacle." Aegis's voice trembled a little.
He tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, explaining, "I read it in a certain book: it says that there is a giant sea monster guarding the Lost Island. ”
"This sea monster is covered in tentacles, and it can swallow a sea ship with one mouth."
"We strange creatures who have broken into the Lost Isle are like enemies who have broken into its territory."
"Marke's voice just now should have attracted this sea monster to it."
Although the members didn't know whether the information that Aegis said was true or not, the black shadow just now was indeed huge.
If the black shadow hits the ship, I am afraid that these two small wooden boats will be cut off on the spot.
"Full speed ahead." Steve whispered, and at the same time activated the ghost power, which made the small wooden boat move forward a lot faster.
They sat on the small wooden boat for an unknown amount of time, but they never saw the shadow of the real island of the Lost Island.
It's as if the Lost Island is the only one shrouded in black mist.
Brush!
A huge black shadow has been falling from the sky.
The black shadow passed through the dark fog, directly rolled up the trembling Markle, and flew into the air.
Markle's screams of fear echoed in the black mist above the members' heads, and it took a long time before they calmed down.
"That's a tentacle!" Little Billy said in horror, keeping his voice to the lowest level so as not to cause an accident.
"Giant tentacles descend from the sky."
"Swept Markle away!"
"It's horrible!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Steve urged, as if he couldn't do anything better about the situation.
Compared to the giant sea monsters, they are too weak.
"Oh my God! Look! Helena pointed her hand ahead and let out a frightened cry.
Jiang Linxian looked ahead, and through the black fog, he saw that there was a small island.
Although it was a small island, Jiang Linxian's expression at this moment suddenly froze, and his arms began to shake violently.
Steve also looked at the island that was gradually becoming clear in front of him, and his perennial unwavering face also showed a moment of surprise at this moment.
As the small wooden boat approached, the full face of the lost island came into view.
This so-called Lost Island is actually a huge graveyard!
The island is a large island of bones and corpses, and all kinds of creatures are densely packed with corpses and bones on top of it.
Strangely shaped skull heads rolled down the top of the island.
The rotting flesh was like glue, congealing all the dry bones scattered here.
Not far from the island, a stranded sailboat hovers over the land formed by bones and skulls.
Steve looked at the ship and recognized its flag at a glance.
"Expedition." Steve whispered, gesturing into the distance, "Right there." ”
"Do you dare to go down?" Helena said in horror: "This lost island was originally pushed up by the bones of corpses, such an island formed by the bones of living beings, there must be a monster around. ”
"It's come to this, I can only fight." Steve pulled out his flintlock pistol and said.
"We only have a chance to escape here if we get the Expedition into the water."
"Maybe that's the last hope." Aegis dropped his oars and jumped off.
Stepping on the bones of the Lost Island, his thin body couldn't help but become very nervous.
It seemed that under his feet, the bodies of countless dead spirits were stepping on.
"What kind of monster is this, capable of eating so many creatures and piling them up in the shape of an island." Helena also stepped down from the small wooden boat.
Steve jumped off the ship, stepped on the bones, and said, "Let me make a bold guess, there are at least ten million living beings, right?" ”
"It's really weird here." Jiang Linxian endured the onset of illness and jumped off the wooden boat.
After everyone came down, they stepped on the bone island and walked quickly towards the expedition.
In addition to the bones, the island also had some fresh corpses, which landed on the bone mound in the distance, as if they had just been eaten by a sea monster.
The members walked very quickly, and soon reached the foot of the Expedition.
"This ship is huge, and if you want to go to sea, you have to blow all the bones underneath." Aegis took one look at the huge Expedition and was intrigued by its appearance.
Even after an unknown amount of time, the appearance of this expedition ship is still as complete and clean as the appearance of the port going to sea.
