Chapter 872: Alcatraz Island
Hoo hoo!
The sea surface was broken, and the ship moved forward quickly.
Even without sails, the speed at which they ran out was astonishing.
There are many secrets contained in a treasure map. A certain symbol, a few lines of mysterious poetry, or a riddle are all very important clues, and even the key to finding the treasure.
There are also many hidden messages on this treasure map left by the Solo Pirates.
Among them, a few poems in the lower left corner, combined with the route, reveal an ocean current that has not yet been discovered.
Of course, it would be biased to say that it has not been discovered, at least...the Solo Pirates successfully used it for their own use.
"In the sea area we passed just now, there are deadly undercurrents everywhere on the bottom of the water, and the passing ships can't avoid it... Unexpectedly, using this ocean current, we can cross it without any damage."
Seeing this scene, Blackbeard couldn't help but sigh.
The truly safe routes have been explored by generations of navigators with their lives.
For example, the golden route is the safest and fastest route that has been explored so far.
A slight change will cost a lot of effort, which means a lot of loss of benefits.
There is also this newly opened route, which has found a way to use the ocean currents to safely cross the undercurrent sea area. If it is spread, it will inevitably cause another commotion.
Because the unexplored sea area must mean more opportunities, of course, with it, there are dangers.
Of course, the navigators of this era would not take these things seriously.
What can attract them to fight with their lives is only the splendor of the world and that amazing wealth!
"With the help of ocean currents, we can run faster than a steamship. At this speed, we can reach the treasure location in a few days..."
Fang Yuan turned on the compass and confirmed the heading.
Immediately, he snapped his fingers: "Bill... pay attention to greeting guests!"
"clear!"
Several newly promoted ocean warlocks also stood on the deck, working together to control the sea water.
grunt! grunt!
Among the large number of vortexes and bubbles, a huge black figure emerged, which was a huge sea monster similar to a whale.
Its whole body is made of blue crystal, like a towering mountain.
At this moment, there was a roar somewhere.
There, a sea monster appeared, but it didn't dare to compete with this huge blue whale, and swam away directly, avoiding a small trouble.
"The Transcendent who controls the ocean..."
Blackbeard, who had seen this scene before, was not surprised, but gave Fang Yuan a meaningful look.
Among his subordinates, there are naturally transcendent beings, but it is impossible to drive them like this.
Only Fang Yuan, who has the key to promotion of extraordinary strength and can train ordinary people into extraordinary people with the lowest cost, is qualified to boss them around without paying any attention to them.
After all, there are no harsh conditions for the promotion of Ocean Warlock, some simple preparations are enough.
Even if the recipe leaks in the future, Fang Yuan will definitely have already accumulated extremely terrifying strength.
This alone is enough to lay the foundation for a pirate governor.
Coupled with the other party's ability and ambition, future achievements are indeed limitless.
...
After a few days.
"arrive!"
Fang Yuan turned on the binoculars, looked at a large island on the sea, and couldn't help but speak slowly.
Hearing his words, the surrounding pirates cheered immediately.
"It is indeed the island recorded in Solo's treasure map!"
Getting closer, even Blackbeard and the other pirates made out.
Because this island is really weird.
There is a tall volcano on the east and west sides, like the two horns of a devil. Although it has not yet erupted at this time, it gives people a very dangerous feeling.
"Finally here, Alcatraz!"
Fang Yuan put away the treasure map: "The place where Solo's pirates hide their treasure! It is also very likely that the Sun is located..."
Because there was no suitable port, the Red Lotus could not get close to the island, so it could only anchor far away on the sea, and put down many lifeboats.
The pirates sang pirate songs, shook the wood pulp in unison, and slowly moved towards the goal.
On Alcatraz Island, many coconut trees are scattered in disorder, and behind it is a tropical jungle.
"Go! Be careful!"
Fang Yuan opened the treasure map and pointed in a direction.
"No problem, there are at most poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in such an island!"
The butcher stepped forward carelessly, using a huge machete to open the way.
All the intricate and tangled vines and the grass with jagged barbs seemed to not exist in front of him.
His whole body is like a tank that opens the way, rampaging and crushing a passage.
"Light the torches, be careful!"
After entering the forest, the light became darker and darker, and Fang Yuan's complexion became serious.
"The area of this island is still large enough, almost equivalent to two or three counties of Insman..."
Seeing this scene, Black Beard was thoughtful: "It should take half a day to a day for us to reach our destination. Moreover, this kind of place has enough food and clear water, which seems to be enough for some large animals..."
puff!
While Blackbeard was speaking, Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
The many thin arrows came and went without a trace, killing the team in an instant.
The butcher snorted, and three or four long needles stuck in his shoulder.
"Damn bastard!"
With a roar, the giant knife seemed to be shining with blue light, and he slashed towards the dense forest on the left, forming a half-moon shape.
Wherever they passed, the grass and trees were broken, and several sneak attackers were cut in half, blood and intestines flowed all over the ground.
After doing all this, the butcher's mountain-like figure suddenly fell backwards.
This strong man who was originally as strong as a cow, and a pirate who had recently been promoted to a transcendent, was knocked down by a few small blow darts.
"You... go and drive the attackers away!"
Fang Yuan stepped forward, opened the butcher's eyelids, and nodded again: "It's just passed out, it seems that he has received a high-strength anesthetic..."
In fact, he has the physique of a butcher. If he were an ordinary person, he would die immediately if he encountered this dose of anesthetic.
As the pirates came forward howling, Fang Yuan also saw the true face of the attacker.
The dark skin, almost naked body, and the colorful paint on the face let Fang Yuan know that these are the most common natives in the golden sea.
It is said that they are ferocious and lazy. When facing captives, they will even skin and remove their bones, mix them with spices, and make a delicious meal.
And laziness means that they are in the tribe, and sometimes they don’t work for a day, because the climate here is so unique, you can plant a year’s harvest by throwing some seeds, or even without these, go to the woods to pick Fruits, or spearfishing in the sea, you will never starve to death!
Because of this, even Blackbeard doesn't think much of this native slave. Of course, the price is also very cheap.
As the largest slave trader in the Nightmare Sea, Blackbeard knows everything about these natives very well: "These natives believe that...after eating their companion, that companion's soul will be with them! So in many native tribes , cannibalism is not something shocking..."
"There are also their worship, ancestors and heroic spirits. Of course, there are some mysterious existences... Necromancers also like them very much. Therefore, in a large native tribe, the power structure is often very chaotic... Priests and warrior leaders , and the leader, there will be disputes."
"Generally speaking, the native tribes have a very strong sense of territory. Stepping into their territory is regarded as an automatic death feud, and they have become their prey!"
...
Blackbeard is indeed a master slave catcher.
Just looking at a few captives and their equipment, I estimated the size of this native tribe, definitely more than a thousand people!
Such an ethnic group is already qualified to support a witch doctor or a priest. The witchcraft and venom of the former can help the native warriors hunt better, not to mention the priest. Words definitely have great benefits.
"A large group of more than a thousand people?!"
Fang Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this: "The Solo Pirates, since they chose to bury their treasures here, they must have cleaned up the island before, right?"
"But there is another possibility that these natives were deliberately left behind as guards, or... clues!"
Blackbeard smiled.
"This is actually..."
Fang Yuan stepped forward, his pupils seemed to be radiating light.
With the means of these pirates, the native captives were naturally unable to resist, and soon, all of them lost their eyes and spoke the truth.
However, Fang Yuan and his group are not very proficient in the native language.
If you think about it with your toes, you will know that these native tribes who live on a deserted island and have not communicated with the outside world for hundreds of thousands of years, what kind of weird language will they develop inside?
Fortunately, with a black beard, he can finally understand some meanings with a guess.
After reaching the back, Fang Yuan became impatient and directly grabbed a captive and asked them to take him to the tribe.
The tribe of these natives is located, in their words, called "Chikonunud", which translates to the land of miracles.
According to the unfortunate captive, the stone house they lived in was once the residence of the gods.
Fang Yuan and the others naturally scoffed at this.
But when they actually saw the native tribe, they couldn't help but exclaimed.
Walking out of the tropical rainforest, the vision suddenly becomes wider.
What was displayed in front of Fang Yuan and the others was a huge and stretching building complex, each piece of exquisite stone bricks together formed a palace with a distinctive style, exquisite and delicate, and even the roads were paved with stone slabs.
At the moment when they saw this scene, all the pirates could be sure that this was definitely not a building that the indigenous civilization could produce!
