"Gus!"

"Eight fingers!"

Byron glanced over, and the two people behind him immediately understood.

[Phantom Blade] Gus pulled out the two daggers at his waist, and his figure turned into a wisp of green smoke in a flash, and quietly disappeared into the dense jungle.

According to the functions assigned by the adventure team, he naturally plays the role of scout in the team, responsible for eliminating dangers and leaving markers along the way.

Although the information inside and outside the secret realm is isolated, within the secret realm, the communication between them, the [right hand of the king], with the help of the Golden Rule, will not be blocked.

Even the regular Nautilus and Echo Conch are still effective, enough for the adventure.

Eight Fingers pulled out the double-edged battle axe on his back and strode to the edge of the rainforest, where there was no road.

A flash of silver light flickered, and a tall tree fell down in an instant, and a wide passage was opened in the jungle with three strokes and five divisions.

Then, like a tireless humanoid machine, he slashed and slashed, and walked straight in the direction of the sailing mast.

Compared to the first time I traveled through the rainforest, I was more familiar with the city of Azk.

Obviously, at this time, he had been promoted to the second rank like Gus.

The promotion of [Bayfolk Berserker] is even more straightforward than that of pirates, as long as you "kill, kill, kill".

The requirement is to survive the brutal and bloody deathmatches, five, ten, twenty

That is, to achieve the achievement of ten slashes, one hundred slashes, and one thousand slashes, which are often said by swordsmen, you can step on the bones of the enemy to complete the next step.

After being successfully promoted, the second-order core ability obtained is called [Bloodthirsty Battle]:

"After becoming self-frenzied, it can greatly improve its physique, strength, reaction speed, wild intuition, and recovery ability based on the [Extraordinary Endurance] that Byron has always wanted

While shielding the sense of pain, its resistance to various abnormal states is greatly enhanced.

Those curses, acids, fires, and penetrating injuries that could kill ordinary people could only be regarded as minor injuries that slightly affected his combat effectiveness.

Turn yourself into: steamed, cooked, pounded, fried, and resounding like a copper pea. ”

Even if you don't activate your supernatural abilities, you will continue to improve your physical fitness.

It can grow up to the level of the silverback gorilla, the strongest creature among primates, and reach the theoretical racial limit.

At this time, the height of Eight Fingers had already exceeded two meters, and the large muscles of the tomb were as strong as granite.

Of course, as an extraordinary ability under the [Ladder of Glory] system with safety as the purpose, this effect that can significantly increase physical quality is not for nothing.

Overdraft the upper limit of cell division, and if you use it too much, it will lead to a short life, just like the former Overseer [Child Guard] Dennis in Iron Anchor Bay.

Violet, several pirate officers, and fifty marines in the back, led by Byron, followed collectively, and [Blood Red Whiskey] Alfred was in charge of pressing the formation.

I just landed on the island, and the security is still under control, and there is no danger that has come out of the way.

Alfred, who was preparing his third-order life menu, was lucky enough to catch a "ruby crab" unique to the island.

The entire carapace appears to be made of ruby-like crystals, and through the translucent body, you can clearly see the tender white flesh inside.

If Alfred hadn't had the "flow", he would have been able to perfectly capture the cracks in his body and open a crab shell as hard as steel.

Many second-order transcendents were probably helpless against such strange monsters.

This [gourmet] took out the high-quality crab vinegar he carried with him from his bag, slightly flavored the gem crab, and picked it up and nibbled it raw.

Three under five divided by two solves the quota of one side dish (seafood, fish) among the eight dishes on the life menu.

One eighth of the promotion ceremony was completed, and the whole person was refreshed, and his spirit was much more lively.

There was only a short delay on the way, and the group successfully arrived at the Lancaster family adventure ship.

"Byron, this ship seems to have been wrecked a little too much, it doesn't look like it should have been in 11 years at all."

Violet, as a master craftsman, is the most qualified to speak, and she can see at a glance that it is unusual.

Obviously, just 11 years have passed, but this ship seems to have experienced the devastation of hundreds of years of wind and rain.

Half of the hull was buried in the earth, and the surface was covered with fallen leaves, humus, and moss, and in some places waist-thick trees had grown.

If it weren't for the fact that the mast of the mainmast was still standing tall, from a distance I would have thought it was just an inconspicuous green hill.

Facing the team was a darker, more damp side, where the planks of the finest oak were highly decayed, and even oddly coloured fungus and mushrooms had grown on them.

Through the open doors of the gun deck, you can also see that the bronze guns in it have long been covered with a thick layer of patina.

Although bronze, as a copper-tin alloy, is far more resistant to corrosion than iron.

But even the most daring [gunner" in the team, Wyandott, didn't have the courage to fire a shot with this thing.

However, there was no trace of the attack on the hull, indicating that the crew had been completely wiped out before the crew could withdraw from the depths of the island.

"Alert, let's go in and have a look."

Byron waved his hand, and the group was about to get closer to search the remains of the adventure ship to see if there were any useful clues left inside.

Babbling

There was a slight vibration under their feet, and they subconsciously stopped.

Immediately, a swarm of thumb-sized, golden-yellow ants emerged from the ground like golden fountains.

It flowed rapidly on the ground, fanning towards them.

Stones, grass, trees, and anything that stood in their way were mostly gnawed away in an instant.

Far more terrifying than the most terrifying marching ants in the rainforest.

Everyone had no doubt that even if an elephant stood in front of such ants, it would be eaten into a pile of white bones in a very short time, and there would not even be any bones left.

Obviously, this is what Rule One says:

"Everyone has to pay off the gold-eating ants guarding the beach for two gold coins to land on the island, and one gold coin must weigh no less than 40 grams."

Although Byron spent money like water during this time, what he lacked was big money, and he could still take out the small ticket money.

It's just that I still feel pain after obediently giving money.

Himself, Violet, Bruch, Alfred, Gus, Eightfingers, Wyandott, Jacqueline, plus fifty Marines, made a total of 58 men.

Two 40-gram gold coins for one person are 116 pieces, a full 4,640 grams, and nearly 5 kilograms of gold were given out at once after rounding.

And that's just the time to get on the island.

It's hard to imagine how much staggering wealth it would take to open the way with gold all the way to the treasure cave without any danger or danger.

And Byron expressed serious doubts that Treasure Island would spit out the gold and silver he had swallowed again.

"I have worked too hard to rob, take risks, and run industries to achieve primitive accumulation.

Taking other people's money to do your own business is the way to play in the era of capital.

When will God give me a big man who can't be bald?

If it's the kind of thing that can be used up and you don't want to pay off your debts, you can get rid of it with one slash, it's perfect.

The brave are angry, and draw their blades to the stronger!

This sentence refers to a noble person like me, who has always cherished the sentiment of 'robbing the rich and helping the poor'.

Of course, I am the 'poor'. ”

The rules summarized by the predecessors are not deceiving.

Even the grotesqueness of the evil sect knows the truth that if you take money, you have to do things.

After collecting the money, the gold-eating ants really retreated like a tide.

At this time, if they can follow these gold-eating ants and chase them all the way to their nests, I am afraid that they can harvest a treasure trove comparable to a dragon's nest.

But Byron, with the instinct of a pirate, subconsciously felt that this kind of retail sales, like collecting tickets, was too much of a drop in the bucket, and should not be enough to achieve the magical effect of the continuous growth of the wealth of the entire Treasure Island.

[Hidden: The Mystery of Treasure Island's Wealth Growth] did not react, which also shows the correctness of this speculation.

As soon as the danger was removed, they searched every compartment of the Albatross expedition ship in front of them.

"Report to the captain, there is no bow building."

"Report to the captain, there is no bilge."

"The artillery deck did not"

However, after searching the entire expedition ship, not a single corpse of the expedition team was found, nor a single word left by them.

Only a few utensils were found that accompanied the ship.

But like a sailboat, it seems to have decayed after a hundred years, and all of them fall apart at the slightest touch.

It seems that in the interval between Treasure Island disappearing into the physical world, time flows much faster on the island than in the outside world.

Gus found a well-preserved artifact, the Echo Conch.

But the conch can only record the sound of the last three months, and after 11 years, there is no information about the expedition left.

Byron opened the Echoes of History and searched for it himself, and finally found a logbook hidden in a bronze box in the captain's room, which had long since decayed and was overgrown with mushrooms.

Looking at the signature, it belongs to Andrew Lancaster, the captain of the adventure team, a third-order [Storm Knight], and should be Byron's cousin according to blood.

In the Kingdom of Hattings, the navy has always been Lancaster's private army.

According to the Navy's guidelines for the management of warships, all officers, including captains, lieutenants, and even officer candidates, are required to keep a logbook independently.

Although only this one has survived, it is enough for them to get a glimpse of the leopard.

Byron couldn't wait to open the log.

The first is the first day of the Albatross's adventure.

"June 11, 1461.

With a fine weather and a southwest wind of force 4, we set sail for a great treasure hunt.

I, Andrew Lancaster, will bring back the great pirate treasure and help the Red Rose defeat the White Rose's rebellion and become the hero of Lancaster!

Routes: North Sea Sea, Offshore Routes, Port Side Wind - Near-Windward Sailing

Although it was a nasty headwind when we first set sail today, there was good news.

Little Joshuel's wife is eight months pregnant, and by the time we return home, we should have had a baby.

We have agreed that when we return safely, I will be the godfather of that child.

The girl who was in love with Freeman came to see him off today, and the two young men agreed that when they got the proceeds of this treasure, they would go back and propose marriage to the father-in-law who had picked the door

It was a great day for all. ”

Byron shook his head:

"What a bad day, dear uncle, may your souls rest in peace."

Then ten lines at a glance, quickly skimming over the inconsequential parts of the middle voyage.

"June 15, 1461.

The weather is cloudy, with a southwest wind of level 5

Today is the first time in seven years that Treasure Island has appeared in the world, and we are ready for it.

Before I left, I went out of the way to check the information uploaded by other adventurers in the Key to Omniscience, which is a valuable quality for a good adventurer.

Also on this day, I listened to the cicadas on a nearby island and suddenly realized that I had discovered an interesting phenomenon.

Extrapolating the time of Treasure Island's appearance, no matter what year it was in or where it appeared, it must have been the intersection of spring and summer in the local area.

And it is highly consistent with the local cicada song, and it is always accompanied by the harsh cicada chirping.

Of course, I personally don't think this discovery is of any particular significance. ”

Seeing this, Byron's face gradually became serious.

Because before dying, this adventure team finally used the contract creature Seagull Messenger to send a message to future generations:

"When you hear the sound of cicadas in your ears, no matter how tempting the treasure in front of you is, you must evacuate as soon as possible!"

"The cicada chirps, and the cicadas are again. It is likely that the danger on the island has something to do with the chirping of cicadas from the outside world. ”

Keep turning the page.

"As soon as we landed on Treasure Island, a red macaw came near the Albatross and kept an eye on us while we were packing our gear.

The rap parrot didn't know where to hear the story, but after a moment of silence, it began to repeat a fairy tale in our ears.

Despite the tight schedule, I still recorded this absurd but very interesting story.

When I get home, use it as a bedtime story to tell to my little Tommy, maybe he'll like it. ”

Byron saw another familiar name, one of his cousins, who had died at the hands of the Kraken Touch.

Flip to the last page of the journal with handwriting.

It was a fairy tale with very scribbled handwriting:

"Far away there is a country called the country of Syralafia.

Whoever wants to go to this country must first learn from the blind to know the way, and only those who have no feet can go there"

Just the first sentence, an absurd and bizarre aura suddenly rushed to the face.
