Chapter 264: Border Island

The scorching sun, hanging forever in the sky without moving, shines its light down.

The endless sea seemed calm, but a strange scene appeared.

The calm sea surface was slowly split in the middle without any warning.

Such a scene made the Sound of Dawn, which was wandering over this sea area, dodge to the side frantically.

Fortunately, although the sea surface was inexplicably separated, the flow force it brought did not seem to be very strong.

The Sound of Dawn and the Golden Trout in front of it were freed from the dragging force and entered safe waters.

"That sudden crack shouldn't be an illusion caused by the chaos in space, right?" Alka turned his head and asked.

After all, the cracked sea surface did send a dragging force to the water flow channel, but it was not too strong.

Julia nodded.

"It's definitely not caused by the chaos in the space."

"What caused that?" Jason leaned over and asked curiously.

"The damage of space."

"...That's worse than chaos." Hearing this, Alka said speechlessly.

Damage will actually cause harm to the surrounding area, while chaos is just a change in outward form, but there is no essential difference.

If their ship had been sucked into the crack just now, it would have been a disaster.

This damn place is really dangerous.

However, the ocean rift caused by the damage to the space did not last long and suddenly disappeared after about 10 minutes.

In an instant, the ocean current brought a strong pulling force, and a huge whirlpool appeared at the damaged place.

There is actually a second attack?

"Full speed! Full speed sailing!"

Alka said loudly, and the spell on the Voice of Dawn emitted a strong blue light, and it drove madly with its back to the vortex.

But although it may seem a little tense, it is not really so.

If you really can't defeat your opponent, you can naturally enter diving mode. Even if you sink to the bottom of the sea, it doesn't matter much.

Fortunately, the Voice of Dawn was a ghost ship, and it instantly got rid of the pulling force as it reached full speed.

This was not a big challenge for her, it was just a warm-up at most.

After all, in order to take speed into consideration, Alka and Simon later added more speed-related spells to the Sound of Dawn.

They got away with it, but others may not.

"The Golden Trout can't hold on any longer!" Lucelia's voice came from above.

Hearing this, everyone looked into the distance.

The Golden Trout was too big and failed to turn in time, so it was being pulled sideways towards the whirlpool.

Even though he was fully loaded with spells, his sailing speed was still not enough to withstand the pulling force brought by the huge whirlpool.

Even if they are on the periphery.

"Help them." Alka said loudly.

Julia Porollo and Mathilda came to the bow.

Raise both hands at the same time.

The three ocean races are born with the ability to control ocean currents.

Exert force at the same time.

A huge wave was suddenly raised from the edge of the whirlpool, and the wave turned into a wave moving in the opposite direction of the flow of the whirlpool, and quickly came to the bottom of the Jinzunyu.

The huge ocean current dragged the stern of the ship, driving it away and helping him to correct the direction.

With the help of the ocean current, the emergency situation of the Golden Trout quickly disappeared, and then, pushed by the ocean current, it quickly left the range of the whirlpool.

As the vortex gradually disappeared.

The Golden Trout was also completely out of danger.

At this time, a ding-dong sound came from above my head.

"I see the island!"

Hearing this, everyone looked in the direction Lucelia pointed.

After a while, I saw a small black dot appear at the end of my vision.

"We finally found this island. It wasn't easy." Jason said helplessly.

The Border Island is too far away from the Southern Cross Island, and they can only know a rough range.

Because even if the border islands are reconnected, they will not appear in a fixed place, but will fluctuate in an area of sea.

This resulted in them having already reached the vicinity of the target, but they were wandering around the sea looking for an island.

They had been searching for almost two days and finally found it.

If it was a few days later, the border island would have to leave, and the next return would have to wait until 100 days and nights later.

Alka and his crew discovered the island, and the Golden Trout, which was not far from them, also discovered it. The two ships sailed towards the island together.

Before long, the entire island appeared within their field of vision, and the border of the island could be seen at a glance.

I was a little uncomfortable with the sudden appearance of a ship that allowed me to directly see the border of an island.

In terms of size, this island is only about twice as big as Alka's current hometown, Golden Wheat Island.

Compared to the Silverless Sea, it is just a small island.

However, the vegetation on the island seems to be quite dense.

As we drove, we gradually got closer to the island.

They began to sail around the island 's borders, looking for a natural harbor suitable for stopping.

However, after going around in a circle, no natural harbor was found.

It really is an island that is not very suitable for living.

I had to park the boat far away.

The front cockpit door of the Voice of Dawn opened, and the Flying Swallow was pushed out after a long absence.

For Simon and Mathilda, it was their first time to take this boat.

Not far away, the larger Golden Trout also dropped a small boat, and it could be seen that there were only about 10 crew members on board.

The other members naturally stayed on the boat.

Alka and his men all went out, because half of the puppet army was left on the ship.

30 girls with strength exceeding that of Eight Spirals are enough, and the vice-captain of the third stage of Dadao will also stay on the ship.

Although the puppet girls are small in size, there are enough of them to make the Feiyan seem a bit crowded.

The three members of the Polo Luo sea creatures swam directly over the sea surface.

Soon everyone reached the beach, towed the boat onto the beach and dropped the anchor .

Balazs couldn't wait to come over and hug Alka tightly.

"Thank you so much for what you did just now. If it weren't for you, our voyage would have ended today."

His words were filled with fear.

The crew members behind him were also still frightened.

They almost narrowly escaped death. Without the help of Alka and the others, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Hearing this, Alka smiled and shook his head, then asked a strange question: "Don't you have the treasure? Hasn't your ship been revealed as a ghost ship?"

It becomes a ghost ship. Sinking in a short period of time will not affect the ship. Even if the ship does not have any stealth structure, it can still sail in the sea for a period of time.

It was enough to escape from the vortex, so it would be an exaggeration to say that it saved lives.

Hearing this, Balazs smiled awkwardly and said, "This ship was actually replaced only a year ago. The core of the previous ship has not yet been adapted to this ship."

Hearing this, Alka nodded in understanding.

If that's the case, then it really can't be considered a ghost ship. It did just make them walk on the edge of the cliff.

"Well, no need to thank me. After all, we can be considered temporary companions, right? Let's see if this is the island first."

Everyone turned their attention to the island.

There are some weeds around the beach.

Some broken ship planks could be seen on the beach, and not far away a completely deserted cabin.

All these indicate that the island is inhabited.

A footpath can be seen among the weeds, winding its way to a small woods not far away.

However, the uneven ground ahead blocked their view of the distance.

Baraz then looked at Alka.

"How are you going to act? I know nothing about treasure hunting. You take charge."

Alka nodded and did not refuse.

Looked at the surrounding situation.

He said directly: "Yi, take your team to investigate first, Jiu, you guys investigate in the sky."

Alka didn't know much about this island, and this was, after all, the vast ocean.

Moreover, the residents of this island are all criminals who were once exiled, so it is better to be cautious.

"Yes, Captain."

The two puppet girls nodded.

Yi and his five team members jumped directly into the shadows in the woods and disappeared.

Jiu and his team members flapped their wings and flew into the sky, and Xia Daiti waved his hand.

The light surrounded them, obscuring their figures.

They dispersed and began to scout the island.

The rest of the people naturally waited on the spot.

With their strength and speed, it didn't take the puppet girls long. After just over an hour, they all returned.

The island was not big and they quickly explored it.

"How about it?"

“From the sky, we can see that the island is completely deserted, but there is a small village about 1 kilometer away.

But the village must have been abandoned for a long time. No one was seen. The farmland around the village was also completely abandoned and overgrown with weeds.

Jiu, who was scouting in the sky, reported first.

After listening to her report, Alka looked at Yi next to him.

I only heard Yi say: "We checked some places in the woods. Although there are signs of people living there, it has been a long time.

We also went to the abandoned village and didn’t see a single body. The things inside were cleaned up very neatly.”

After listening to their reports, Alka nodded.

"That means all the people who were previously exiled on this island have been moved away." Alka said with a frown.

The people on this island are all exiled criminals who live on the island.

Now all the criminals have moved away, but they did not collect any information about this when they were collecting intelligence on the island.

This means that the people on this island sneaked away, coupled with its extremely long distance and rare connection with Southern Cross Island.

No one actually knows.

This shows that the group of villagers who migrated away may have sailed directly to an unknown place.

In addition, the island's laws gradually became more sound and no criminals were ever exiled again.

So this place was slowly abandoned without anyone knowing until they arrived on the island.

"Could the buried treasure have been dug up by them?" Balazs suddenly said from the side.

After hearing this, several people thought about it and decided that this was indeed a possibility.

Alka shook his head: "If he could be found so easily , would he still be a pirate?"

"Anyway, let's go to the island first."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked forward, and everyone followed immediately.

Along the path, they looked at the landscape of the island.

Although there is vegetation on this island, the growth and density of the vegetation show that the land on this island is not fertile.

Moreover, where they walked and not far away, they could see rocks around the island, so the cultivated area would not be too large.

Alka dispersed most of the puppet girls and let them freely search for places of interest on the island.

Let's see if we can find some interesting traces and report back later.

Only Yi and her team of assassins were left.

Soon they saw the deserted village.

"There's something wrong with this island. We'd better be careful." Julia suddenly spoke as she walked.

Hearing this, they immediately stood still and looked at Julia.

This is obviously not a good statement.

"I can feel that there doesn't seem to be any big problem around here, but it feels very strange, with an indescribable intuition."

Looking at Julia's slightly serious face.

Everyone nodded.

They will not underestimate this so-called intuition, which is also a very important perception.

Balazs also turned around and looked at his subordinates behind him: "Did you hear that? Everyone, cheer up."

"To be honest, I actually feel quite comfortable on the island. I feel like my body has become a lot lighter." Alka said suddenly.

He felt that the island was a little different from the moment he arrived there, and he felt his body unusually relaxed.

There is a feeling of comfort after a good rest after a tiring day and waking up from a good sleep.

Matlisa swam up with her snake tail swinging, and reached out her hand to touch Alka's body.

He checked Alka's body.

"There's nothing wrong with your body. Are you sure it's not an illusion?"

Alka shook his head. "It shouldn't be an illusion. I even feel that magic power has become easier to control."

This is a clear improvement; illusions and hallucinations would not bring about such a change.

Julia closed her eyes and her legs turned into fish tails on the spot. The water curled around the fish tails and lifted her up.

Transforming into her true form would allow her to take her perception to a higher level, coupled with the spell ritual she was currently using.

It allows her to know accurately whether there is any problem on the island.

With both hands slightly raised, invisible waves radiated around.

The sudden change startled Balazs.

"Mermaid?"

Seeing Baraz's somewhat surprised voice, Alka turned to look at him.

"Haven't you seen it?"

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like that.

"I've heard of her, but never seen one. I didn't expect that Miss Julia is actually a mermaid." Balazs' voice was still a little surprised.

"Really?" Alka didn't ask any more questions.

After all, he did not see any mermaids on the Southern Cross Island, and he didn't even see a few mermen.

The Expanse of Ocean is indeed too vast.

At this time, Julia was exploring the problems in her surroundings more carefully.

After a while, he opened his eyes, with some confusion in his eyes, but still shook his head.

"The magic power around me doesn't seem to have changed. Although I am sure there are some strange things around me, I have no idea what they are."

For a mermaid whose mission is to protect the environment, the strong environmental perception that is innate and acquired through training has never been a problem.

But now there's a problem.

Alka's brows were already furrowed, and he was already thinking about whether to give up this action.

If Julia could sense that something was wrong with her surroundings but couldn't tell what it was, then something was seriously wrong.

Julia's perception of the environment is no joke, it is far beyond theirs.

And one thing is very important, the source of this perception is attached to the body's racial bloodline, and is strengthened by the gods.

Pull out a copy of the simple line map.

Alka clicked on the golden light.

Look at the difficulty of the treasure.

[Difficulty: Seeker]

There is indeed no standard of strength. If the treasure is on this island, if the island is dangerous, then the difficulty will definitely be marked.

Never made a mistake.

The error that occurred was not a problem with the difficulty marking, but rather an external human influence.

In other words, if they were simply looking for treasure, they would not trigger any danger.

Hand the map to Xia Daiti.

“Are you sure this is the island?”

After all, the lines are a bit sloppy, but it is indeed a map.

Xia Daiti also knew the seriousness of the matter, and compared it carefully again, combining it with the detection .

Nodded.

"No problem indeed."

The communication between them made Balazs and the people he brought with him look confused.

They could understand each word, but not when they were put together. They could only stand there in confusion, listening to their conversation, unable to get a word in.

It seemed that the conversation between them was over.

Balazs asked cautiously beside him, "Is this island dangerous?"

As a businessman, although he is adventurous, he still cherishes his life.

"Well, there is a problem, but I don't know where it is. For now, there is no danger."

"That's good."

At this time, a member following behind Baraz looked around and asked.

"Could this place really contain the pirate's treasure? It's so desolate here."

There was obvious disbelief in his words.

"If not, what am I here for?" Balazs said, turning his head and glaring at the crew member.

Alka just smiled and said calmly: "Don't worry, we are a treasure hunting group, there will be no problem with our vision."

Then I looked at the map.

He looked at the abandoned village in front of him again.
