"You've been to the Country of Desolation. What kind of place is it?"
Chen Mo asked Morus before leaving after getting the token.
Although the Celestial Tribe had mentioned the Country of Desolation and said that it was a chaotic place, they had never been to the Country of Desolation.
"Just like the rumors outside, the Country of Desolation is very chaotic and dangerous.
However, I don't know much about the Country of Desolation.
I went there for the Bright Emerald. I only entered the Country of Desolation for two days because I was careful and didn't go out. I didn't experience more of the Country of Desolation, so I can't give you any advice. "
However, Morus just shook his head and didn't give Chen Mo any useful information.
Chen Mo didn't continue to ask. However, since Morus could safely pass two days in the Country of Desolation, he didn't need to worry too much.
With his strength, if he couldn't survive in the Country of Desolation, there was no need to talk about others. Chen Mo didn't think that the Country of Desolation could be that powerful.
Of course, he still had to be careful after entering the Country of Desolation. Otherwise, he wouldn't know if he was cheated.
With the token in hand, the next step was to cross Huaisha, go to the west of the South Sacred Continent, and take a boat to the Country of Desolation.
Originally, Chen Mo had the Black Phoenix and the Thunder Beast. He didn't need to take a boat across the sea like the other players.
However, even if the Black Phoenix hadn't been captured by the Angels, it couldn't fly in the sea for several hours. It wouldn't be useful.
The Thunder Beast could, but Chen Mo hadn't been to the west of the South Sacred Continent and didn't know where the sea was. The Thunder Beast could go, but the Thunder Beast couldn't wait for him at the west sea.
Returning and riding the Thunder Beast around the continent to the West Sacred Continent was a pain in the ass. Of course, Chen Mo wouldn't do such a dangerous and time-saving thing.
Huaisha was very big. Chen Mo moved at full speed, but it took him nearly 12 hours to cross Huaisha.
After passing through Huaisha, it took another seven or eight hours for Chen Mo to arrive at a coastal country called Caesar.
Caesar Nation was one of the coastal nations of the South Sacred Continent. Unlike the Aiqin Kingdom, which had very few people, Caesar City was the neighbor of the West Sacred Continent. Almost all of the people from the two continents came to Caesar Nation. Caesar Nation had a lot of people, so it was hard for it not to develop.
Chen Mo was wanted by the angels, so he naturally had to be careful after entering Caesar Nation.
However, when he entered Cesar Nation, he discovered that Cesar Nation wasn't looking for him like Biden and the other nations.
It was likely that the royal officials of Cesar Nation didn't think that Chen Mo would come all the way to Cesar Nation. That was why they didn't waste time on hunting down Chen Mo.
Thanks to Cesar Nation's laziness, Chen Mo finally didn't have to act stealthily in Cesar Nation.
Cesar Nation was the hub between the South Sacred Continent and the West Sacred Continent. Not only were there many NPCs, but there were also many players. As such, Chen Mo didn't dare to act too recklessly. He carefully approached the port of Cesar Nation and inquired about taking a ship.
Although he had already traveled between the Sacred Continent's regions, this was his first time taking a ship.
Of course, this wasn't a secret. Chen Mo did a little research and found the information he wanted.
There were several types of ships, and they were mainly differentiated by price.
The first type was the expensive luxury ship, and the ticket cost 100 gold coins.
The luxury ship only departed once a day, and the ticket needed to be booked in advance. It wasn't a free ride.
The ticket for the luxury ship was expensive, but the advantage was that it was fast and absolutely safe.
By now, even ordinary players knew that pirates were rampant on the Sacred Continent. There was a chance of encountering pirates on other ships, but there was absolutely no need to worry if one took a luxury ship. There were many powerful guards on the luxury ship, and their combat power was very high. Generally, pirates wouldn't have any ideas about the luxury ship.
The second type was the ordinary ship. The ordinary ship sailed once an hour, and the ticket cost 15 gold coins.
Compared to the luxury ship, the comfort and safety of the ordinary ship were slightly worse. The advantage was that it could be ridden at any time. However, it was said that there was a one in ten chance of encountering pirates on such a ship.
If the ship encountered pirates, the weaker ones wouldn't suffer any losses. However, the stronger ones would inevitably be robbed by the pirates.
As for the third type, it was a run-down little boat that cost 3 gold coins.
It was cheap enough, but the chances of encountering pirates on such a ship were very high. Moreover, regardless of the level of the pirates, they could successfully rob the ship. Aside from players who wanted to see the pirates, generally no one would be willing to take such a ship.
If there was a luxury ship, Chen Mo wouldn't mind taking it. A mere 100 gold coins was the price of one use of the Golden Mark skill.
However, Chen Mo checked again and found that the next luxury ship would depart in 20 hours. He gave up and bought a ticket for the ordinary ship.
After waiting for half an hour, Chen Mo boarded an ordinary large wooden ship at the port of Caesar Nation.
This ordinary large wooden ship was similar to the ship owned by the Blackflag Pirates. It was slightly inferior to the Dragonbone Ship.
However, you get what you pay for, so Chen Mo didn't mind it too much.
The ship carried 50 players and NPCs. When the time was up, it sailed towards the Sacred Western Continent.
"Haha, the scenery on the sea is really good!
Although there is a sea in reality, it can't be compared to the sea in the game. The sea in the game is the real sea. The sea in the real world is almost trash! "
On the ship, some players couldn't help but sigh as they looked at the boundless open sea under the sun.
"The real world isn't that bad. It's about the same in the middle of the sea.
However, the sea in the game is more beautiful than the real world. That's a given, "another companion said with a smile.
"Hehe, I wonder if we'll encounter pirates?
In the game, this is my first time out at sea. It's said that there's a one in ten chance of encountering pirates on this ship. Every day, two or three ships leaving the port will be robbed by pirates. "
Following which, the two people's conversation turned to pirates.
For players who had never set foot on the sea in the game, pirates were still a very novel thing.
"Our luck can't be that bad and we'll really encounter pirates, right? It's said that these pirates have special abilities. As long as a player is robbed by pirates, even if they store their gold coins in the warehouse, they will still lose a small portion of their gold coins."
The other player said worriedly when he heard that.
Chen Mo's heart was slightly moved when he heard that.
Although he owned a group of pirates, he didn't know that pirates had such an ability. It seemed that he wasn't very competent as a pirate leader.
If pirates had such an ability, it would be really dangerous for players to set foot on the sea. After all, even if a player took off all their equipment and came with an empty backpack, once they were robbed by pirates, the gold coins in the warehouse would be directly reduced. In that case, there was no other way to avoid losses other than to give the gold coins to someone else for safekeeping.
However, it was fortunate that pirates only robbed the gold coins in the warehouse. If they could rob the equipment and items in the warehouse, not many people would dare to set foot on the sea. Even if they did set foot on the sea, they would take a luxurious ship.
However, even if the value of gold coins was reduced by half, not everyone could afford to take a luxurious ship.
Taking a luxurious ship once was even more expensive than taking a tanker in the real world.
"It's not a rumor, it's true!
There really are many people who have lost their gold coins after being robbed by pirates!
Moreover, some players have researched that the gold coins lost are related to the total value of the equipment and items in the warehouse. The higher the total value, the more gold coins lost. Therefore, the truly rich people would choose to take a luxurious ship just in case. "
Another player said very seriously.
"Pirates are so powerful?
Damn it, it's best if we don't encounter pirates. Otherwise, if we get robbed once, our losses will be huge. My warehouse has a lot of equipment temporarily stored by the guild. If it gets robbed once, I'll go bankrupt in minutes! "
"Hahaha, let's see how lucky we are. However, if we're really going to be robbed by pirates, I hope to meet a female pirate!
It's said that someone met a female pirate and was fancied by a female pirate. He did that with the beautiful and seductive female pirate in the sea. It was very exciting! "
The other person chuckled evilly.
"There are female pirates?"
Hearing about female pirates, the few players who were discussing became excited and chatted enthusiastically.
It was also the first time that Chen Mo had heard about female pirates. Naturally, he paid more attention to it and carefully listened to the few people's discussion.
It had to be said that it was very inconvenient for the game to not have a forum. Some things were not easy to find out if one did not specifically look into it.
Regarding pirates, if one frequented real life forums, they would naturally know. However, they would have to switch to a few forums to find out. It was not comparable to the official forums in the past. As long as one entered the forums, they could easily find a lot of novel and popular news.
However, Chen Mo knew that it was useless to say anything. He could only shake his head and not think too much about it.
"Hey, look, what's that?"
After the ship sailed out to sea for two hours, an Archer player with a great vision looked at the distant sea and suddenly said.
When everyone heard his words, they looked over curiously.
Following that, a few ships appeared in the vision of the players.
"Pirates!
Those are pirate ships! "
A player who had some understanding of pirate ships shouted when he saw the ships.
"Pirates?"
"It can't be, we're so unlucky?"
Many players immediately cried out.
There was a one in ten chance of encountering pirates, and it just had to be them. This was a little unlucky.
"Wait, there's something wrong with that pirate flag!
I've seen this pirate flag mentioned in a real life game forum before!
It's a red skull!
That's right!
This is the Pink Skull Pirates! "
One of them recognized the flag on the pirate ship and shouted.
"Pink Skull Pirates?" Someone was puzzled.
"Stupid!
Just from the name, you can tell that it's a female pirate group! "
Someone said in disdain.
