After the Hurricane Pirate Group was massacred, Chen Mo, Black Flag, and the others arrived at a relatively hidden stone room on the island.
The Hurricane Pirate Group's Treasure Vault!
"So many Treasure Chests!"
After entering the stone room, the eyes of several pirates, including Black Flag, shone.
The stone room was not large. However, there were nine Treasure Chests inside.
If it were any other time, they would have long since rushed over to open the Treasure Chests to see the treasures inside. However, with Chen Mo here, none of them dared to make a move.
Seeing so many Treasure Chests, Chen Mo was also surprised. He never thought that the Black Flag Pirate Group would be so poor. The Hurricane Pirate Group only had twice as many members as the Black Flag Pirate Group, yet they already possessed so many treasures.
Walking forward, Chen Mo opened the first Treasure Chest.
System Notification: You have obtained 5,000 Gold Coins.
Inside the first chest, there were over 5,000 gold coins.
Chen Mo then opened a few more Treasure Chests. The first five Treasure Chests each contained 5,000 Gold Coins. Five Treasure Chests gave Chen Mo 25000 Gold Coins.
However, the next four Treasure Chests no longer contained Gold Coins.
Among the four Treasure Chests, two contained a large number of Dragonbone Ship materials. It seemed that the Hurricane Pirate Group intended to construct two more Dragonbone Ships, allowing all of its members to board the Dragonbone Ships. That way, the Hurricane Pirate Group's strength would increase by another 20%.
The remaining two Treasure Chests contained several dozen pieces of equipment. However, they were all pirate equipment. Chen Mo could not use them. However, since Vic had hidden these pirate equipment here, it meant that these pirate equipment were valuable.
When Chen Mo passed these equipment to Black Flag and the others, their eyes shone with excitement.
However, aside from the pirate equipment, Chen Mo also found a book called "Fog Island's Adventurer's Handbook" in the last Treasure Chest.
The book was somewhat old, and there were many grayish-brown marks on it from being soaked in seawater. Chen Mo opened the Handbook of Adventurer's Handbook. After taking a look at its contents, he waved for Black Flag and the others to come over.
"Use this 10,000 Gold Coins and these Dragonbone Ship crafting materials to develop your pirate team. If it doesn't work, it means you aren't suited to be the captain," Chen Mo said calmly as he handed half of the Gold Coins to Blackflag.
"Don't worry, Master. With these 10,000 gold coins and the Dragonbone Ship, the Blackflag Pirates will definitely develop rapidly!" Blackflag's heart trembled as he hurriedly guaranteed.
"Remember what you said. Also, have you heard of the Misty Island?" Chen Mo nodded and asked.
"Misty Island?" When Black Flag and the other pirates heard this, their expressions changed.
"What's wrong? Where's the danger?" Chen Mo noticed the change in their expressions and asked.
"It's not just dangerous. Rather than calling it dangerous, it's more appropriate to call it strange.
The Misty Island is shrouded in thick fog all year round. It's hard to even differentiate north from south. Inside, there are all kinds of strange plants and monsters. Even though there are all kinds of treasures inside, if you accidentally enter, you won't even know how you died. The Misty Island is a forbidden area for us pirates. Very few people dare to take risks there. "Black Flag replied with a bitter smile.
"This Adventure Handbook says that it is possible to obtain a Ghost Pirate Ship on the Misty Island. Is that true or false?" Chen Mo waved the Misty Island Adventure Handbook in his hand and asked.
"It's true!
In fact, although the Ghost Pirate Ships of the three major pirate groups in the Sacred Ocean were not found on the Misty Island, they were all related to the Misty Island. The existence of a Ghost Pirate Ship on the Misty Island was a well-known fact among the pirates. Some pirate groups wanted to obtain a Ghost Pirate Ship and entered the Misty Island for an adventure. However, almost all of the pirates who entered the Misty Island died inside.
Only a few survived, so other than when the rumors first spread, very few pirate groups dared to go to the Misty Island to seek death. "
"This handbook says that the Ghost Pirate Ship came from the 'Eye of the Sea' in the center of the Misty Island. How much do you know about the Eye of the Sea?" Chen Mo continued to ask with interest.
In this adventurer's handbook, there were many things that he was extremely interested in. The ghost pirate ship was one of them, but what interested Chen Mo even more was the mysterious "Sea Eye" mentioned in the handbook!
"We have never entered the Misty Island, so we naturally don't know much about the Eye of the Sea. What we know is all hearsay. It is said that the Eye of the Sea is a huge whirlpool in the sea. This whirlpool sometimes flows clockwise and sometimes counterclockwise.
When it flows clockwise, one end of the Eye of the Sea is connected to the present, and the other end is connected to the future. When it flows counterclockwise, one end of the Eye of the Sea is connected to the present, and the other end is connected to the past. The Ghost Pirate Ship came from the Eye of the Sea when it flows counterclockwise. The large amount of fog on the Misty Island is also related to the Eye of the Sea. "
Black Flag braced himself and said all that he knew in one breath.
Rumors about the Eye of the Sea were like legends of gods among pirates. Not many pirates would believe them. However, this was all that he knew about the Eye of the Sea. Since Chen Mo asked, he had no choice but to say it.
"Oh." When Chen Mo heard this, he couldn't help but become even more interested in the Misty Island.
Following that, Chen Mo asked a few more questions about the Misty Island before letting Black Flag and the others leave the stone room.
The Hurricane Pirate Group and the Storm Pirate Group had been annihilated. The Black Flag Pirate Group had obtained a large amount of benefits.
The Dragon Bone Ship, a large amount of pirate equipment, and a considerable amount of development funds. If nothing unexpected happened, the Black Flag Pirate Group would begin to develop at a decent speed. In the southern seas, there weren't any large pirate groups. It wouldn't take long for the Black Flag Pirate Group to develop into a powerful pirate group like the Hurricane Pirate Group.
As for how the Black Flag Pirate Group would develop, Chen Mo didn't intend to interfere. He only set a development goal so that the Black Flag Pirate Group wouldn't pay attention to it.
While the Black Flag Pirate Group was cleaning up the mess on the island, Chen Mo was already swimming towards the Misty Island alone with the Thunderous Beast.
The southern seas was the least developed region for pirates. However, it was where the mysterious Misty Island was located.
The island where the Hurricane Pirate Group was located was only a dozen or so hours away from the Misty Island.
After coming into contact with the Misty Island's Adventurer's Handbook, Chen Mo understood the situation of the Misty Island through Black Flag and the others. He decided to make a trip to the Misty Island.
According to the handbook's description, the Misty Island was very dangerous. However, there were also many mystical places on the island.
Among them, the most mystical thing was that the Misty Island had a mystical power that could make the people living on the Misty Island stronger and stronger!
Other than that, the Misty Island also had a large amount of strange trees. The fruits that grew from these trees could greatly increase a person's strength after eating them.
Faced with such a temptation, Chen Mo had to make a trip there no matter what.
The Misty Island was a huge archipelago. There were a large number of reefs under the sea. Large ships couldn't enter, and small ships would be attacked by sea beasts. However, Chen Mo had the Thunderous Beast, so entering the Misty Island wasn't a problem for him.
There was fog on the Misty Island, but there wasn't any at the bottom of the sea. There was no possibility for the Thunderous Beast to get lost at the bottom of the sea.
Therefore, Chen Mo asked the Black Flag Pirate Group members to bring a message back to You Ji and the others. After telling them that they didn't need to worry, he and the Thunderous Beast rushed towards the Misty Island.
The Thunderous Beast was very eager to go out to sea on an expedition. After receiving Chen Mo's order, it rushed towards the Misty Island with all its might.
"So that's the Misty Island?"
The Thunderous Beast's speed was indeed astonishing. According to Chen Mo's estimation, the journey that would have taken a dozen or so hours was forcibly shortened to seven or so hours by the Thunderous Beast.
They set off in the middle of the night. Before noon of the second day, Chen Mo could already see a large area of the sea shrouded in snow white fog from afar.
According to the Black Flag Pirate Group, that was the range of the Misty Island. After entering the white fog, there would be islands of various sizes. The sea between the islands was filled with a large number of reefs and sea beasts. Many places were extremely dangerous. It was difficult for ships to move around inside, and they would hit the reefs if they weren't careful. On the other hand, there was a high chance that they would encounter groups of powerful sea beasts in the areas that didn't hit the reefs.
Therefore, the safest way was to disembark from the outermost island after entering the Misty Island and slowly enter the depths of the Misty Island.
However, there were also a lot of hidden dangers on the fog-shrouded island. If groups of pirates disembarked, they would be killed if they weren't careful, or they would mysteriously disappear from their teammates' side.
Chen Mo was very curious about the mysterious power on the island that caused the pirates to encounter such bizarre encounters. However, he didn't have any plans to disembark from the outside.
With the Thunderous Beast, he could very well let the Thunderous Beast enter from the depths of the sea, avoiding the reefs and sea beasts, and go straight to the depths of the Misty Island!
… …
The first part was even worse.
