Chapter 771 The Island of the Dead

When Angell turned the parchment over, his eyebrows slightly raised: "It's actually a page in the logbook. I didn't expect there was a missing page here."

"The eighth day of the early cold month of the year 1353 of the Golden Year."

"I died quietly at the bottom of the well, but unfortunately my treasure is still far away. I hope my descendants can find my treasure. That is the only honor I leave for you."

There is only such a short record on this piece of parchment. Moreover, Angell saw some clues from the date.

The date when Lucas jumped into the well was: the sixth day of the early cold month of the year 1353 of the Golden Year.

This record was written two days after he jumped into the well. In other words, this piece of parchment stuffed in the drawer is the last page of Lucas' logbook!

When Angell finished reading this last log, he was a little confused.

"Lucas claimed that he died quietly at the bottom of the well, but his bones were clearly on his Lingshan?" Could it be that Lucas' bones were brought here by someone else?

In addition, Lucas hoped that his descendants could find his treasure, which just happened to correspond to his descendants using blood to activate the magic array at the bottom of the well and come to this strange area.

So according to what he said in his diary, is there still his treasure in this strange place?

Was Lucas lying in this last diary, or was he truly recording his feelings after jumping into the well?

There is another question that Angel has not figured out so far: Is Lucas a liar or an honest person?

After thinking for a long time, Angel put away this last diary. He planned to see if there was the treasure that Lucas said. When he turned around, he caught a glimpse of the skeleton sitting on the bench.

The headless skeleton looked a little weird.

There were still some strips of cloth on the skeleton, but it was obviously rotten. Angel picked up the skeleton and examined it for a moment, but found no clues.

"This skeleton is most likely Lucas's, but why is the head of the skeleton missing?" Angel murmured in a puzzled voice, and finally shook his head and left.

After stepping out of the captain's room, Angel quickly went down to the cabin.

There was water overflowing in the cabin, which just submerged half of the Lingshan, and many rooms were submerged in water. This reminded Angel of one thing. When he encountered the Lingshan in the foggy area of ​​the Devil's Sea, it was strangely suspended on the sea surface, and the rooms inside had obvious signs of being submerged in water, which was extremely consistent with the current cabin.

Angel carefully checked the flooded area of ​​the cabin and recalled the soaking condition of the Lingshan when he used the exploration puppet.

The two corresponded to each other, and Angel could be sure. Why did the Lingshan show signs of being submerged in sea water when it appeared in the foggy area? It was because it had actually been here all the time, but it was unknown why it suddenly appeared in the foggy area.

So can it be reversed? The strange disappearance of the Lingshan at the beginning was actually a return to here?

But where exactly is this place? How did the Lingshan leave here and how did it come back?

Angel flew out of the cabin with doubts, hung above the figurehead, and shone the fluorite lamp around.

It was pitch black in front of him, and he couldn't see what was going on. Below was the silent sea. Angel turned his head and looked at the back of the Lingshan. Although this side was also dark, the weak light produced by the fluorite lamp would appear at a short distance when shining on this side.

Angel flew over and unexpectedly found that there was a cliff behind the Lingshan.

It was at this time that Angel noticed that the Lingshan was actually on the edge of a small island and stranded in a pile of rocks near the coast.

"Is Lucas's treasure on this island?" Angel asked himself in his heart.

He did not land on the island immediately, but turned his mental power into tentacles and explored under the sea. He always felt that this ocean was too quiet, as if it had lost its vitality.

When Angel flew to a distance from the Lingshan, in the open sea, the mental tentacles slowly moved down.

The information fed back from the sea water was just as he had expected, dead silence. There were no ocean currents, no undercurrents, no information about any living creatures, and no biological waves were received. This was a truly dead sea.

Retracting his spiritual tentacles, Angel did not dare to fly to the open sea again. Not to mention whether there was any danger in the open sea, given his insensitivity to the direction of the sea, he was afraid that if he went too far, he would not be able to find his way back.

So, Angel returned to the place where the Lingshan was stranded.

He woke up Toby who was sleeping in his pocket and signaled it to turn into a griffin: "Pay attention to protecting my body, I will use my soul body to explore nearby."

Toby was still in a daze, and somehow he ran to the sea again after sleeping for a whole night.

Angel whispered to explain the current situation, and Toby finally reacted. Hearing that there was a treasure here, Toby's eyes immediately lit up, and he nodded without hesitation, with a look of "I am responsible for everything".

Angel shook his head and smiled, and his soul left his body directly, and his body was wrapped in the gray gravity veins by Toby.

"I'll check nearby to see if there are any signs of magic arrays." After saying this, Angell began to search around the Lingshan.

Logically speaking, the magic array of the two-way channel should not be too far from the exit. Angell first searched the nearby beach for a while, but did not see any signs of magic patterns.

He dived into the seabed again, but still found nothing, but did see a few skeletons hidden in the dust.

There was no information on these remains that could prove their identity, but judging from their location, it was very likely that they had fallen from the Lingshan.

Perhaps, these skeletons were once sailors on the Lingshan?

There was no information on the seabed, so the only place Angel could explore was the cliff.

He flew close to the cliff, looked back and forth, but did not find any clues. Just when he was wondering if he had made a wrong judgment, Toby, who was unwilling to be lonely, suddenly called out to him.

Angel followed the sound and found that Toby had brought his body to the bottom of the cliff at some point. Next to it, there was a dead tree.

When Angel was thinking about the meaning of Toby calling him, his eyes suddenly lit up. Behind the dead tree, there was a hidden cave!

Could it be that the transmission channel was in the cave?

With curiosity, Angel flew into the cave. The cave was not deep, and under the illumination of fluorite, Angel quickly walked to the end of the cave. In Toby's eyes, there was nothing here, just an abandoned cave, and he looked disappointed. But in Angel's eyes, this place was filled with a faint glow.

The familiar magic array on the wall finally put his heart at ease.

There was indeed a way back here, but he didn't expect it to be hidden in such a secret cave.

Angel returned to his body. Since he found the way back, his worries were finally solved, and he could explore this island with confidence.

Angel took the excited Toby and walked out of the cave.

Just as he was about to reach the entrance of the cave, Angel's eyes blurred, and he vaguely saw a black shadow flashing at the entrance of the cave.

His expression paused, and he quickly ran to the entrance of the cave, but there was nothing near the cave, only the dead tree shadow, twisted and weird, as if it imprisoned a struggling soul.

"Is it an illusion?" Angel shook his head and turned around again nearby, still didn't see any living things, and finally had to give up the search.

"Go to the other side of the cliff and see what Lucas's treasure is and where he hides it?"

Angel flew up the cliff. On the other side, there was also a cliff that looked like a thousand-foot peak, but there were many dead trees of strange shapes. When he walked down with the fluorite lamp, the shadows of the trees on both sides were like terrifying monsters, observing him in the dark.

In addition, the dark and dead atmosphere around made Angel feel creepy.

He flew close to the ground and quickly passed the cliff. If there was no light, he could only rely on the fluorite lamp for lighting. He even wanted to fly from the sky.

This flight lasted for dozens of miles. There was no living creature around, and finally he and Toby stopped by a lake.

The reason for stopping here was that the lake was extremely large, and near the lakeshore, Angel saw signs of human activity.

Not far in front of him, there was a simple outdoor stove on a scorched earth, and a dusty iron pot was placed on the stone stove.

Judging from the thickness of the dust around it, this stove was left behind at least several decades ago.

These traces are enough to determine that there were human activities on this island in the past. However, this island should have been completely "dead" a long time ago, just like the sea water. The human traces on this island are estimated not to be natives, but people who strayed into this place like him.

Angel walked around the lakeshore to see if there were other human traces, and at the same time to clear his mind.

This island looks very deserted. According to what he has seen so far, there is nothing of great value. The only thought is the illusory treasure recorded in Lucas's logbook.

Could this treasure be the thing that attracted the Song of the Deep Sea and the Xialu Sea Ridge?

This requires Angel to find the treasure place recorded by Lucas and confirm it.

However, Angel also knows that he does not have much time to find the treasure. Since the two great true wizards "Sea God" and "Basket Witch" have been dispatched, it is estimated that it will be a matter of time before they find this place.

The pressing pressure extinguished the flame of Angel's excitement. Regardless of whether he found the so-called treasure or not, he had to leave here before the true wizard arrived.

"Jigu"

Suddenly, Toby's call came from not far away, interrupting Angel's thoughts. He looked over and saw Toby also holding a fluorite lamp, flapping his wings in the middle of the lake.

Angel flew over and found out the reason for Toby's call.

Right under his feet, in the center of the lake, there was a small wooden stick sticking straight out of the water. With the light of the fluorite, you can even see that the stick extends very long under the water.

Angel threw a fluorite into the lake along the stick.

The fluorite slowly sank to the bottom of the lake, illuminating a huge shadow under the water...
