Chapter 164: Danger in the Forbidden Land

Lu Jing took Fu Ju to earn a circle in a few nearby shops, and he didn't ask much about the situation in the forbidden area, but he was surprised to learn that there was a "bag inquiry" in the walled city, specializing in providing all kinds of information.

"Captain, how about we buy some underwater thrusters?"

Fu Ju fiddled with a small mechanical model with a propeller in his hand, reached out and pulled the corner of Lu Jingyi, who was looking up to find the location of the store, and asked.

"Underwater propulsion...... You have this in your hand?"

Lu Jing, who came back to his senses, responded.

"That's right, remember the shop we just entered, they specialize in selling diving equipment, including diving suits that can connect to boats and lower people, and now Xu Jiu has gone to buy sea patrol potion, which can solve the problem of underwater breathing, so the diving suit is not used, but this device can provide lighting while accelerating the movement of the seabed. ”

You must know that not everyone is able to move freely in the sea water like Lu Jing, and in Fu Ju's opinion, it is always right to prepare more diving equipment.

"Sounds good, remember to remind me when you get back later. ”

As he spoke, Lu Jing raised his hand and pointed to the plaque engraved with the words "Forbidden Zone Maritime" hanging on the top floor of a building not far away.

"I found it. ”

......

Two gas lamps hung on the left and right sides of the beams, and the orange-yellow light dispelled the darkness that invaded the building.

Different from the lively scene in other shops, there was only an old man with white hair in this room, leaning on a bench with a velvet blanket behind the counter, holding a cigarette gun in his hand, squinting and humming a little song that Lu Jing had never heard before.

"If you can afford to pay for a question, you can open your mouth, and if you can't pay it, you should leave quickly. ”

The old man raised his eyes and swept over Lu Jing and Fu Ju, and then stopped for a moment on the iron sand puppet and the mechanical wolf dog behind them, and suddenly pouted and said in a muffled voice,

"It seems to be two big customers. ”

"Sea Burial City, you know?"

Lu Jing didn't bother to test anything, and asked straightforwardly.

"Ha! It's your first time coming to Muhammad Island, and there are a few people who dare to come to this hellish place who have never heard of the Sea Burial City, and everyone knows that there is a great fortune hidden in that underwater ruin. ”

For Lu Jing's question, the old man sneered, and then said,

"But even if you know, what can you do, just like everyone knows that there are countless treasures in the treasury of the imperial court, but if you go, you will die, and there is no one who can come back alive...... Housheng, I see that you are still very young, isn't the girl next to you beautiful, why do you want to seek death so early?"

"So far, no one has ever returned alive from the Sea Burial City?"

Lu Jing leaned against the counter, ignoring the old man's words, and glanced at the various scrolls stacked on the wooden shelves behind him.

He asked the guests who had just left outside the door, and the old man in front of him was said to have been to the forbidden area more than a dozen times before and after, and he had stayed on Muhammad Island all these years, and he knew everything about what was happening here.

"This is your second question, and my rule here is that you have to settle a question before you can ask the next one. ”

"This is a gold leaf, I will add it after asking if it is not enough!"

5 silver dollars a question, Lu Jing directly slapped a gold leaf on the counter, he wanted to see how much this person knew.

"There are quite a few teams who have found the Sea Burial City, and some have come back alive, but most of these people are just glimpsing from a distance, and they don't have the courage to actually go in, so no one can say exactly what is in the Sea Burial City until now. ”

With a puff of the cigarette gun, the old man's eyes fell on the gold leaf, and he was not in a hurry to get it, so he answered.

"Since no one knows the situation in the Sea Burial City, then I want to know what to pay attention to when entering the forbidden area, I heard that the old man has been there more than a dozen times, and you must have experience in this area. ”

Lu Jing didn't expect to learn about the situation in the Sea Burial City from this person, so he turned to inquire about the situation in the forbidden area, and at the same time motioned to Fu Ju with his eyes, and the latter immediately took out a small notebook that he carried with him.

"Speaking of which, you don't plan to give up, if you don't have a bad brain, you do have some ability, and it's a little interesting to look at the two puppets behind you...... Okay, you also gave money, then remember, inside this forbidden area, not to mention anything else, there are three places that are extremely dangerous except for the sea burial city, the sea volcano, the crescent moon cliff and the sea patrol ghost. ”

Spit out a smoke ring in his mouth, and as soon as the cigarette gun in the old man's hand waved, he saw that the smoke suddenly changed into a ball of boiling water with bubbles constantly rising and dying.

"If you see this situation on the surface of the sea when you enter the forbidden area, you have to go around, there is a volcano that may erupt at any time, and ordinary ships will go over, even if you are lucky enough to encounter dormancy, the bottom of the ship will be greatly damaged, because the things that erupt from those volcanoes are very corrosive, and if you are unlucky, the whole ship will generally sink in it. ”

The words fell, and the smoke turned into a cliff that resembled a crescent moon.

"This place is a place that must not be approached in the forbidden area, especially on moonlit nights, it is said that there will be a kraken, and anyone who approaches it will be attacked by it without exception, as for the last sea patrolman, I can't imitate the specific appearance, but you remember, if you find a sudden fog on the sea, immediately stop the ship and leave the deck, hide in the cabin, no matter what sound you hear. ”

The old man said a lot of words one after another, Fu Ju lowered his head and wrote down the main points of his words as much as possible in the notebook, but Lu Jing looked at the other party with some suspicion.

In the three places he mentioned, the way to deal with them was either to escape or to hide...... As bluffing as it sounds, the problem is that there's no way to verify whether it's dangerous.

It's just that Lu Jing is also in the mentality of believing it now, anyway, a gold leaf is nothing to them now, not to mention that he has more important things to ask.

"I want to find someone to take my boat to the vicinity of the Sea Burial City, and get a nautical chart, I wonder if you have any news about this here?"

This is what Lu Jing wants to know most when he comes here.

"Don't think about it, guide, the people who have been to the vicinity of Sea Burial City are basically the core people of some fleets, they can't take risks for this money, as for the sea chart, I have a copy here, but it depends on whether you are willing to bid or not. ”

"How much...... Wait a minute. ”

Lu Jing was about to open his mouth to inquire, and the conch on his waist sounded, so he hurriedly took it in his hand and connected it, and asked,

"What's wrong?"

"Captain, merman, I saw merman!"

Xu Chu's slightly excited voice came from the conch.
