Chapter 187 Cave Treasures
There were a total of three light spots displayed on the map at this time, but there was no golden light that Alka expected.
It is unlikely that there will be any.
But what if?
Although there was no light spot, Alka did not regret it. It was already very good to have a light spot on it.
He was already prepared for the white patch on top.
The three light dots are two white dots and one blue dot.
Pretty standard.
Alka did not click , but waited for Xiadaiti to finish drawing the entire map.
Although the map is now usable, for Xia Daiti, it is not even a semi-finished product.
Xiadaiti has very high requirements for the completeness of the map, and Alka must respect her.
During this time, he took over Xia Deti's responsibility for training Lucilia.
He trained Lucilia himself.
I don’t know if it’s because of the doll’s body, but Lucilia’s control over her own body is very quick.
If she continues to train at this level, it won't take more than a few days for Lucillia to perfectly control her body and her magic power.
Not long after.
Everyone who had already wandered around the island returned.
After all, this island is too small.
After a brief stroll, I lost interest.
Jason came over with a smile, and seemed to be holding something in his arms.
"Did you find anything? You look so happy."
Alka couldn't help but ask after seeing his expression.
The few people who came back early also turned around.
Jason smiled and nodded, placing the object in his arms between them.
It was a somewhat gray and dilapidated box, covered with mud and some things similar to shell barnacles.
But it can still be seen from the appearance of the box that it was probably a treasure chest used to store some valuables.
It seems that Jason really found something valuable.
Alka fiddled with the box for a long time, and after making sure there were no spells on it, he smashed the lid with one punch.
Revealing the dirty and dark contents inside.
He poured it all onto the beach, water gushed out of his hands, and he began to wash these things.
As they were cleaned, the original appearance of these things was completely revealed, most of which were relatively precious jewelry, diamonds, etc.
But there are a lot of them, and these things can be worth a lot of money.
Looking at these things, Jason's smile became even brighter: "This trip is quite rewarding."
For Jason, who truly loves treasure hunting, finding treasure makes him happy.
After simply satisfying their curiosity, everyone withdrew their gazes. After all, they were just some jewelry and not worth their excessive attention.
"Okay, it's done. Take it."
Xia Daiti finished drawing the map in his hand, quickly dried the marks on it, and then attached a layer of protective film to it.
In this way, a map was perfectly created.
Alka took the map and looked at the exquisite map and the precise markings on it.
I couldn't help but praise him: "Your skills are getting better and better."
This is not an exaggerated compliment, it is really true.
"Hehe, of course." Xia Daiti snorted twice and said with a smile.
You know, she didn't do nothing during the half year she stayed in the cathedral.
Alka looked at the map in his hand and blinked, and the light spot on the map appeared again.
However, this time it was different from the light spot he had just seen because there was one less white dot.
One white spot is missing...
Thinking of this, Alka turned his head and looked at the rotten box at Jason's feet.
So if the treasure is taken away by someone else, the light spot will disappear directly... It is equivalent to the treasure no longer existing because it has been obtained by someone else and has a new owner.
This was the first time Alka encountered such a situation, and he kept it in mind.
He reached out and brushed his hand across the map, clicking on the white dot.
【Ordinary treasure】
[Difficulty: Seeker]

[Treasure Information: None]
It is a complete "three-no" product. Apart from the difficulty mark, there is no other information.
I don’t know the information, nor do I know the specific value of this treasure, but the difficulty does not require any strength, so there is no need to worry about it.
Alka was more concerned about the blue dot, and he clicked on it with his hand as it passed by.
【Magic Treasure】
[Difficulty: Giant Hunter (Four Spirals)]
【Popularity: 6】
[Treasure Information: None]
Hmm...it's another classic three-no thing, but it doesn't matter. In this kind of damn place, it would be even more outrageous if I had this information.
However, Alka couldn't help but think about the difficulty.
The difficulty actually requires four spirals, which is higher than the requirement for treasures.
After all, we have left the home sea and are no longer under the suppression of the Virgin Mary.
Triple helix and quadruple helix still belong to the ranks of the weak.
If one knows how to meditate and has the meditation mantra, the triple spiral can be achieved with just a few years of effort by an ordinary person who has just entered the extraordinary world.
Or it could be the minimum requirement to master a treasure.
I should get used to the difficulty of obtaining treasures in the future, as the requirements for strength are getting higher and higher.
Although the requirement is four spirals, it is not difficult at all for them.
There has never been much connection between the difficulty of finding a treasure and its value.
The only thing that is certain is that the more difficult it is to find the treasure, the better the things you will get.
For Alka, some treasures are really like picking up money.
I wonder when I can pick up a treasure like picking up money?
However, the name of this difficulty is Giant Hunter.
Could the treasure be guarded by a giant creature? Why hasn't it been discovered?
The island is this big, and the blue dot seems to be on the side of the island, not in the center.
If there was some giant object protecting the treasure, it shouldn't have gone unnoticed.
Alka looked at the map, then looked up.
"It smells like treasure. Are you interested in joining us ?"
"certainly."
"Why not?"
Seeing that everyone seemed somewhat interested, Alka nodded. After all, this was their first treasure hunt since they left their home sea.
"Let's go, everyone. I'll lead the way."
The white dot and the blue dot were not far apart, so Alka planned to deal with the more difficult blue dot first.
Leading everyone through various ship wrecks.
We arrived at the blue dot marked on the map.
As expected, there was still nothing on the surface except for the wreckage of ships that sank who knows how many years ago and were buried in the soil.
Everyone was already familiar with the way Alka stopped and looked around.
Xia Daiti walked straight forward, and silver ripples began to spread from under her feet to the surroundings.
Start exploring whether there are any hidden spaces around here, using a more detailed, smaller but more precise exploration.
Xia Daiti began to move forward while exploring, then walked back and forth on the ground in front and came directly to the edge of the island near the coast.
Only then did he nodded with satisfaction.
He turned around and said to everyone, "There is a cave deep down below, and the tunnel connecting to the cave is below."
Xia Daiti pointed to the coast and said, "Underwater."
Everyone turned and looked down.
There were many ships floating on the sea below. The wreckage followed the current and kept hitting the cliff, becoming more and more broken.
"Let's go there first."
Alka pointed in that direction and jumped down.
There was a huge rock platform extending down from the cliff, large enough for them to stand on.
Everyone followed and jumped down.
Landing on the boulder, Alka said to Pororo, "Pororo, go down and take a look at the tunnel."
"OK."
Pororo nodded in reply, then jumped directly into the sea.
Within a dozen seconds, Porro poked his head out of the sea.
"There is a tunnel entrance, but it's still too small for me. But after looking at it, it seems safe."
Hearing this, Alka nodded, then turned to look at everyone.
I thought that the battle would most likely take place underwater, after all, he was a giant hunter.
Alka said directly to Julia: "Julia, the two of us will go down, and the rest of you will stay on the shore to keep an eye on the surrounding situation."
Hearing Alka's words, Julia nodded and jumped directly into the sea. In mid-air, her legs turned into a fish tail.
Alka followed closely behind, and a mirror mask appeared on his face, reflecting a long sea fish.
His neck and cheeks were covered with mirrors, and with the special effects of the mirrors breaking, they turned into a respiratory system similar to fish gills.
Watching the three people disappear into the sea.
A long-handled rock-shaking gun appeared in Jason's hand, with emerald green vines and a golden frame on the gun.
The diamonds dotted on it exude a faint magical glow. This is a custom-made magical gun from the cathedral.
He raised his gun and became alert.
At this time, Alka and Julia, who were underwater, also came to a dark underwater cave under the guidance of Porro.
The magic lantern emitted a faint light and automatically floated inside under Alka's control.
After making a gesture, Porro nodded and stood guard outside the cave.
And Alka turned and nodded to Julia, and the two of them swam inside.
Since he was able to breathe underwater, Alka was not in a hurry and carefully checked both sides of the underwater cave.
Look at the traces on both sides.
Although there is corrosion from sea water, it can be seen from these traces and the condition of the cave bottom that before this, the man-made traces on this cave were still provided for walking.
Because there are pits on the walls on both sides of the cave for placing lighting tools.
It looked a bit like a place for candles, so Alka reached in and touched it, and could feel something like old grease.
The entire cave tunnel is upward.
This means that this tunnel should not have been flooded by sea water a long, long time ago.
The sea water gradually became thinner, and then Alka poked his head out from the bottom of the water, using the lantern to look at the situation in the cave.
There is still a short tunnel ahead.
Julia behind also floated up, and her legs changed from a fish tail to a human leg.
The two men moved forward cautiously.
From the traces around, it can be seen that no one has been here for a long, long time.
Following the tunnel, we finally arrived at the inner space.
Alka raised the lamp and looked.
The space inside this cave is not small, but the whole space seems relatively low.
It's probably only a little over two meters tall. If it's a little taller, he might only be able to bend his waist.
After all, the average height of humans in this world is over 1.7 meters, so it is very normal for a person to be over 2 meters tall.
At this time, the entire cave was extremely damp and had a strong smell of decay, like the musty smell of many piled-up wood that had rotted due to moisture.
So we did see a lot of wooden boards around, and they were broken and placed around.
Many wooden boards are spliced together to become something like furniture.
Someone has been here before.
There are traces of a campfire in the middle of the cave. Judging from the size of the campfire and the traces around it, the number of people living here before was not many, but not small either.
There should be about six or seven.
Alka walked a few steps further inside and saw the wall at the bottom.
Several corpses were placed in front of him.
The corpses were huddled together tightly, with only some black strips of cloth left on their bodies.
Judging from their postures, these corpses must have foreseen their own deaths before they died, so they gathered together, waiting for death to come.
Or did they keep each other warm and then suddenly die?
Alka looked around the corpse carefully.
No obvious injuries were found on the bodies of these corpses, except for some fractures, which were mostly in the arms and legs.
Finally, between the two corpses, buried under a long strip of cloth, I saw something that looked like a manual.
Alka pushed aside the cloth and picked up the book.
Since he didn't know how old this thing was, Alka was extremely gentle, for fear of damaging it.
Turn it over gently.
Fortunately, the paper used for recording in this thing is not real paper, but something similar to cloth or leather, which is not that fragile.
But at least there is some information recorded on it.
Take a look.
He could still understand the words above.
It is the language used in the northern part of the Home Sea.
It is almost certain that these corpses are the people who came out of the Home Sea.
He opened the booklet and read it carefully.
[13... day, the sun is high
We are ready to leave our home sea, and we have already known...movement. 】
Many of the words on it have long been blurred by the passage of time, but it is still possible to guess what is written on it based on some of the clearly visible fonts.
Alka read through it patiently.
Julia behind him also began to look around in the cave.
He waved his hands from time to time, as if he was testing something.
After patiently reading the information recorded in this booklet, Aka had a rough guess.
Except for the pages above where the information is completely unclear.
We can probably know that these are a group of people who came out of their home sea a long time ago. Like many people, they don't have a full understanding of the outside world.
This is a team without treasures, but everyone in the team has the strength of a second-helix, and the captain is a team of three-helix strongmen.
At least he is a strong man for the home sea.
They survived the initial storm on a fairly sturdy spell ship, but the ship was badly damaged.
Then, when a storm came, the ship was attacked by a sea monster and was destroyed.
Fortunately, there was a lifeboat next to their ship. With the help of this boat, they barely floated along the wreckage of the ship to the island.
Without their boat, they could only find a place to rest.
Fortunately, the ships that came out with them also suffered heavy losses, and a lot of supplies were washed up on the island.
It helped them get through the most difficult times.
Then they began to recover at the cave entrance.
But as the supplies were consumed, they knew they couldn't just sit there and wait for death. After all, there were not many fish in the surrounding waters.
The survivors were divided into two factions.
One group was prepared to continue living on the island until the next ship passed by. These people were all seriously injured in the sea.
That's why the corpses either have broken legs or broken hands.
In the absence of medical supplies, it is really difficult for them to recover, and their condition deteriorates until they can no longer recover.
The other group naturally planned to rebuild a ship that could barely sail based on the wreckage on the island.
Even though they knew that doing so would only result in their death, they were unwilling to sit on the island and wait for death.
Naturally, they each began to act according to their own ideas.
The group left.
The group remained in the cave until food became scarce and they were unwilling to resort to cannibalism.
They committed suicide in the cave.
Left this booklet.
This is the information that Alka roughly guessed. It may not be completely accurate, but it is pretty close.
Simple and straightforward.
After putting the book away, Alka looked at a pile of rotten wood not far away.
Walk over and push the wooden blocks away, revealing a wooden box underneath.
When the wooden box was opened, something was found wrapped in a layer of oilcloth or something similar.
The cloth cover opened, revealing the blue outline of the contents.
Still following the previous rules, only the most valuable magic item had a blue outline, and no other items had this appearance.
These things were already covered with thick dirt.
Here comes the problem.
What about the giant?
The thing Alka had been wary of was the one marked by the difficulty on the map.
The strength should reach that of a quadruple-helix giant.
However, regardless of the records in the manual, he directly opened the box and looked at the contents.
No one has discovered the origin of this monster.
Could it be the same as the time with the volcano?
Do you have to take everything to avoid alerting the monster guarding the treasure?
Alka couldn't guarantee it, but he could only think so.
Looking at the things in the box, Alka packed them all and stuffed them into the ring.
Yet still nothing happened.
That's strange.
After thinking about it, Alka buried the bodies on the spot. After all, this was the cemetery they chose for themselves.
Then he nodded to Julia behind him.
The two men silently dived into the water from the passage behind them.
Start to return along the same route.
As for the guards, they didn't notice anything at all.
