Chapter 517: Treasure Hunt

Li Tianyu didn't dare to imagine what he would see after being pulled down from the sea, anyway, he didn't want to try. After the attack, the crew on the ship were still in shock, but they seemed to have no passion for the trip, and they all wanted to give up the journey and go ashore.

Although no one said that at the time, Li Tianyu could tell from their expressions.

Of course, he will not talk to these crew members. For him, the crew members are just NPCs. His weak sense of substitution sometimes makes his experience worse, but sometimes it also allows him to look independently from the entire framework. question.

Judging from the current situation, they are afraid that they will go through all the legends on the sea, but as long as it is not natural disasters such as tsunamis and storms, Li Tianyu is basically not particularly worried. Any legendary monsters, although they are scary at first glance Yes, but in fact, it is relatively easy to deal with the player's ability.

Thinking about it now, the immediate requirement of the mission should be to protect the ship.

Slowly, everyone recovered from the attack and continued to drive the boat, but some people were still immersed in the attack just now. After all, for ordinary people, a monster like Kraken is really unimaginable.

Li Tianyu also felt that such a huge monster was scary, thinking that such a thing was in the waters under his feet, he felt a little nervous, but calmed down and thought about it, in fact, they only saw the tentacles of Kraken, and did not see the whole picture , it's okay to think so. It's just that the key now is not his thoughts, but the thoughts of the crew.

"George," Li Tianyu came to George and lowered his voice: "I know that this attack may make everyone a little uneasy, but I believe you have also seen our abilities. The four of us have mastered mysterious magic. We must protect this The safety of the ship is completely fine, so you don’t have to worry about it. But just in case..."

As he said that, Li Tianyu took out a bag of gold coins: "Here are two hundred gold coins, which is an extra fee. If the crew members are too dissatisfied, use these two hundred gold coins to appease their emotions. Count the promises you made at the beginning. Five hundred gold coins, a total of seven hundred gold coins, at this price, I think it is worth the risk, right?"

George was silent for a while, but still took the bag of gold coins, and sighed: "Oh, actually, I should have thought about it. The large number of fish schools means that something is driving them in the deep sea. It is said that if the music of the accordion is too cheerful It turns out that it is true that it will attract sea monsters... Don't worry, we have already arrived here, and we will definitely continue this journey."

With the extra reward of two hundred gold coins, the crew became more determined and the journey continued.

But even so, this was only the second day they went to sea, and they encountered islands, storms and sea monsters, and what happened after that? I am afraid that there will be no more peaceful days on this sea.

Moreover, Li Tianyu felt that the most difficult part might not be there yet.

But after Kraken's visit today, there was nothing else to do all day, and the presence of Kraken was also beneficial. There were a lot of fish schools on the sea, and it was easy to catch a few particularly large tuna.

However, the mood of the crew is still not particularly high, and Li Tianyu can't blame them.

"It would be great if it could be used to make tuna mince bibimbap." Zheng Nanxing tasted the tuna sashimi and sighed, "Just a little white rice, a little cooked tuna meat and a little mayonnaise, mix together and you'll be fine." It will be delicious."

"That would be too wasteful. This is fresh tuna that has just been caught!" Liu Zihao said solemnly, "Sashimi is the best way to taste such a fresh fish! Let's have some soy sauce and wasabi... ... tut tut."

"Tianyu, which way do you like?" Shen Yan turned to Li Tianyu and asked, Li Tianyu raised his brows, and then smiled: "Of course it's a tuna sandwich, eggs, lettuce, tuna, and Thousand Island sauce, it must be delicious. Thumbs up."

"I'm good at making sandwiches. I'll make them for you when I get back." Shen Yan said with a smile, and Li Tianyu nodded with a smile. The four players were not affected by Kraken's attack at all, but were immersed in the delicious tuna cooking.

The second day at sea can be regarded as passed. These two days are really not peaceful, so the crew members on the ship are also panicked. But it cannot be denied that the weather on the second day was very good, and they still had a long way to go, so at dawn on the third day, after a while, another island appeared in front of them. The area of ​​this island is quite large.

Li Tianyu felt it with his heart net. The diameter of this island is about five kilometers. The ecology of the island is relatively complicated. Some animals such as seabirds and wild goats can be seen, and there are even traces of humans.

"Look." George pointed to a pile of weathered bonfires in front of him, which seemed to have been extinguished for several years. If George hadn't pointed it out, Li Tianyu would have thought it was a rock with a rather peculiar pattern. George explained: "There should have been humans here, and there are traces of human life in that cave."

"Captain! Look!" At this time, a crew member raised the rusty scimitar in his hand and said excitedly.

"Oh?! Looks like the visitors to this island used to be pirates." George smiled with interest.

Li Tianyu originally thought that George was joking, but then they searched in the cave and found a dead bone. The clothes on the dead bone were badly weathered, and they should have been dead for decades.

"See? There is a cut mark on the bone here." George carefully observed the dry bone, pointing to the chest and said, "The knife pierced here, and then came out from the back. It didn't hurt the vitals, but the stab Broken his lung. I think he didn't die right away, but lingered on this island for a few days before he died. Holding this thing before he died..."

As he spoke, George opened a wine bottle in the withered bone's hand, and there was a note inside.

"Yo! It's a treasure map!" Liu Zihao opened the bottle cap and looked at the note and smiled excitedly, and then read: "Follow the footsteps of the sun, move 178 steps, and look for the dry bones of the fool, dry bones There is guidance on the next step.”

"Footsteps of the sun! Let's go!" The crew got excited and rushed towards the sun. Li Tianyu immediately rolled his eyes, wondering whether these crew members were stupid because they were NPCs or really so stupid.

"The sun's footsteps can't be following the sun. The sun is constantly moving." Liu Zihao frowned. "It should be going east, you idiots."

"You are also a fucking pig." Li Tianyu said angrily, "What is the footsteps of the sun? It rises in the east and sets in the west, from east to west, so following the footsteps of the sun should go west!"

"I know, I'm testing you!" Liu Zihao said solemnly. Li Tianyu gave him a blank look and was too lazy to argue. nothing.

"It's one hundred and seventy-eight steps, maybe I made a mistake in the count?" Li Tianyu frowned.

At this time, Zheng Nanxing said: "I think there is a mystery here?"

"Let's talk about it." Li Tianyu pinched her little cheek, but Zheng Nanxing didn't care, and continued: "Then we know that it actually says one hundred and seventy-eight 'feet', feet can be used to Refers to the number of steps, which can also be used to refer to the unit of feet. Because the living conditions of people in ancient times were not as good as those of people today, and the average height was relatively short, so the step of modern people is much larger than that of previous people. Walk a step The distance of one hundred and seventy-eight steps is much farther than the previous people."

As he said that, Zheng Nanxing leaned in front of Li Tianyu and looked at the map: "Besides, the reminder doesn't mention the starting point, but it shouldn't be where the corpse is. I think the real starting point should be the easternmost side of the island. "

"So following in the footsteps of the sun? Makes sense." Li Tianyu nodded, "Go, continue!"

"Oh!" Everyone responded, excitedly rushing to the east of the island. Li Tianyu found that these crew members were now sweeping away the haze, and they were so excited to find the treasure, so he suddenly had an idea. But now he didn't say anything, but silently led the crew to the easternmost edge of the island, and then started to move forward with a step length of about 30 centimeters.

After one hundred and seventy-eight steps, they came to the tropical forest in the middle of the island. There happened to be an open space in the forest. There were three incomplete wooden skeletons sitting on the open space. The incomplete parts of each skeleton were different. The postures are also different, but everyone dug a reminder note in the ground under the feet of the three skeletons, guiding them to different places.

"Of the three notes, only one must be true, and the other two may be deadly traps." George frowned.

Everyone was silent for a while, and Li Tianyu looked at the three skeletons, which were actually somewhat confusing. The first skeleton was missing ribs, and it was sitting cross-legged on the ground; the second skeleton was missing a right hand, and it was lying on its side; The one with the left leg is sitting on the ground curled up holding his own legs with both hands. Just from the surface, there is no way to know which one is the "fool".

"Which one is the fool?" "The one lying on the side? The posture is stupid." "The one with the arms around the legs is also stupid." The crew members whispered, but honestly, just looking at Li Tianyu like this, I don't know which one. Fool, is there any symbolism in the poses of these skeletons and where they are missing? Is it related to some ancient religions?

But at this time, Shen Yan stepped forward and knocked on the head of the first skeleton, and there was a sound of "dongdong", which was obviously solid inside, and then Shen Yan knocked on the head of the second skeleton, But this time there was a crisp "Dang Dang" sound.

"That's it, the head is empty, it must be a fool." Shen Yan patted the skull's head and said, Li Tianyu was a little curious: "Baby, how did you think of it?"

"Sometimes I also feel that some men's brains are empty." Shen Yan said with a smile, and then added, "Of course it's not about you, my Tianyu is one of the few men who don't have a brain."

"It's hard to say..." Li Tianyu thought to himself with a dry smile, and then opened the note at the foot of the second skeleton.

The second clue reads, "Avoid the darkness, hold the ceremony where the light is most abundant, and jump in the direction where the darkness escapes, hope is waiting ahead." Compared with the first clue, this clue is more vague, and it does not tell the direction and distance to go at all. Li Tianyu looked at this message and fell into deep thought: "The place where the light shines most..."

Everyone unanimously turned their gazes to the top, the highest point of the island.

"Let's go." Li Tianyu looked at the highest peak of the mountain behind him and said.

The island is not big, so the highest point is actually the top of a strange rock fifty or sixty meters high.

Here on the cliff they found a peculiar "magic circle" with many different symbols drawn on it, and a rusty sword standing in the middle. Somehow, Li Tianyu felt that this place looked a bit like an ancient Chinese sundial. Thinking about the previous information again, "the place where the light shines most, the direction where the darkness escapes", Li Tianyu immediately understood.

"When the light is at its peak, it should be twelve noon, right?" Li Tianyu replied, turning to Liu Zihao.

Liu Zihao understood, and raised his watch to point it at the sun in the sky for comparison: "It's four o'clock in the afternoon. According to the pointer on the watch, the sun should be in that direction at twelve o'clock..."

After confirming the direction, Liu Zihao stood in that direction and aimed at the magic circle and raised his hand to emit a strong light.

However, the reflection of the pointer at this time points to the cliff ahead. Seeing this situation, everyone hesitated, Zheng Nanxing murmured: "Is this clue really pointing in this direction? Isn't this making people commit suicide by jumping off a cliff?"

"Who knows? Try it." Li Tianyu shrugged and said, then came to the front of the cliff and jumped.

It doesn't matter to him, anyway, even if he jumps and falls to the ground, he can't die at a height of fifty or sixty meters.

But then there was a "thump" in his heart, and he touched the ground much earlier than expected, so that he staggered a step as if he had stepped on an empty step, and sat down on the ground.

Only then did he discover that there was a protruding cliff face under the cliff, because the texture on the surface of the strange rock is quite special, it looks like it is one piece, and there is no such a protruding piece at all. A visual trick.

"It's okay, there is still a ladder below." Li Tianyu shouted to the top, and then looked ahead, a dark cave with a faint light shining inside. He strode forward, turned on the thunder armor to let the light of the thunder armor illuminate, a treasure chest appeared in front of him, and a large number of shining gold coins and gemstones of various colors could be vaguely seen from the opening of the treasure chest.

Obviously, this is the "treasure" of the pirates.
