The seawater surged violently, rolling into the center of the island layer by layer.
Steve quickly swung the wheel and ordered the crew to tighten the sail rope and stay away from the island.
In the center of the lost island, a large number of bubbles emerged from the seabed.
Blah blah blah!
!
The sound of sea water sounded all around.
The island that originally disappeared emerged from the bottom of the sea again.
But now the island has changed its appearance.
Not only has the island become huge, but the scenery on the island has also undergone tremendous changes.
The island that emerged from the sea was densely covered with jungle and trees, making it appear even darker and gloomier.
Steve docked the boat on the shore, smoked a cigarette and shouted: "Get off the boat!"
Jiang Linxian followed Steve to the coast and asked very curiously: "This witch can control an island? So powerful?"
"How else can you become a witch?" Steve laughed.
"She is omniscient and omnipotent. In the Sea of Chaos, apart from Natis, the sea ghost and god, she is the most mysterious and powerful."
"Then he wants to know how to remove the trident from my arm?" Jiang Linxian said.
Although he was considered to be the one who was taken care of by the ghosts and gods of the sea, the trident on his arm made him very unhappy.
Steve glanced at Jiang Linxian, stopped talking, and walked quietly into the forest.
Several other sailors followed closely behind.
The forest was very quiet, with a few crows cawing on the dark, dry branches.
Steve seemed to be very familiar with the roads in the forest, and it was obvious that this was not his first time here.
But other members such as Jiang Linxian are different.
They have only heard about witches, but they have never seen them.
There are very few pirates who know about the existence of witches.
And Steve happens to be one of them.
After walking for an hour and a half, Steve, Jiang Linxian and others arrived at the center of the island.
There is a spring in the center of the island.
The spring water was bubbling and gurgling.
Steve turned to look at the members and reminded: "Remember to follow my pace."
As he spoke, his entire burly body instantly tilted and plunged into the bubbling spring.
Just disappear.
Jiang Linxian and other members looked at each other.
But they didn't hesitate at all.
Jiang Linxian took the first step and plunged directly into the spring.
Helena followed closely, followed by the other members.
The spring water soaked his skin, and Jiang Linxian didn't feel any suffocation when he plunged into the spring water.
His body quickly fell into the spring water.
All kinds of fish swam past his eyes.
In a few breaths, Jiang Linxian's body seemed to break free from the spring water and landed firmly on the ground.
The surrounding scene has changed dramatically.
The seawater seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, leaving a space.
Outside the space, there are seawater and various underwater creatures.
Jiang Linxian felt as if he was in the underwater world, and the surrounding scenery attracted his attention.
Steve stood at the front, looking up at the witch in front of him.
The witch's body appears transparent, and her long hair spreads out, as if she is floating on the bottom of the sea.
She was not wearing any clothes, her upper body was like a humanoid, and her lower body was like the tentacles of a sea mer, floating irregularly.
At this moment, she was suspended in the air, looking up and down at the group of members who came in.
"Steve." The witch's voice was very ethereal, echoing in the space that blocked the sea water.
Her light body came to Steve as if swimming in water.
The soft, boneless and transparent body rotated around Steve several times before floating steadily in front of Steve.
"I remember the last time I saw you was five years ago."
"You came here today because of something important."
Steve spoke softly: "Master Witch, I need the Explorer ship. I heard that this ship is on the Lost Island."
"But I don't know where the Lost Island is?"
Hearing the words Explorer and Lost Island, Helena and other members couldn't help but be surprised for a while.
"Steve, didn't you say you were going to take us to find the treasure? Why did it involve the Lost Island again?" Angis, a thin male ghost, asked in surprise: "Did you lie to us?"
Steve turned to look at him and smiled: "Please call me Captain Steve."
"Okay...Captain Steve, I think you deceived us." Russell stood up and questioned: "We are willing to accompany you to sea at a very low hiring price for the sake of the treasure. , but now you want to go to the Lost Island to find the Explorer."
"This sea vessel has been heard in legends."
"How can we find treasure without a powerful sea ship as a guarantee?"
Steve glanced at Jiang Linxian first, and then explained softly: "Since I promised you to find the treasure, I will naturally not make a mistake."
"You'd better not lie to us." Helena smiled. She twisted her curvy figure and walked to Jiang Linxian: "Little handsome boy, do you think you lied to us?"
"Do you think I will deceive you?" Jiang Linxian's fingers trembled slightly and he said calmly: "I still think Captain Steve will deceive you."
"I hope not." Little Billy and Mark said in unison.
"We only like shiny things, but we don't want to lose our way on the Lost Island and never come back."
Steve raised his head and said confidently: "Of course, Captain Steve would never lie to his crew."
Laughter like silver bells echoed in this space.
The corners of the witch's mouth, suspended in front of Steve's eyes, showed a graceful curve.
Like a lover, he looked at Steve affectionately: "I know the place of Lost Island, but Steve, you should know my rules."
"It must be exchanged for items of equal value."
Steve touched his pocket and threw out a dark gold coin.
Both sides of the coin are engraved with skulls, which emit a deep green light.
The entire coin exudes a terrifying ghostly aura, like a living creature.
"This should be enough, right?"
The tentacles on the witch's lower body caught the ghostly skull coin and looked at it carefully.
"Death coin." The witch said with interest: "I heard that throwing it into a specific place can cause creatures to be reborn."
"You're quite knowledgeable." Steve said calmly.
"But if you have such a good thing, why don't you keep it for your own use and give it to me as a trade item?"
The witch was a little surprised and looked at Steve with a confused smile.
The latter smoked a cigarette, shook his head and said: "I am already immortal, there is no use keeping it."
"Moreover, this Death Coin is just a legend. No one can find a place to use it."
"Then it's useless if you give it to me." The witch chuckled and said, "I don't need such a thing either."
She glanced at Jiang Linxian behind Steve.
His eyes were instantly attracted.
She quickly floated over and spun around Jiang Linxian, looking at him with obsessed eyes: "A perfect human being, Steve, why not trade him for it."
】
"A stinky rat exchanging information about the Lost Island seems like a good choice."
When Jiang Linxian heard this, his nerves suddenly became tense.
This witch didn't look normal at first glance, but he couldn't figure it out.
Jiang Linxian shook his head randomly: "I can't. If you want, you can choose that parrot."
Jiang Linxian moved quickly, grabbed the parrot on Steve's shoulder, and shot it in the head.
After blowing on the muzzle of his flintlock gun, Jiang Linxian said to the witch very seriously: "A parrot that cannot be killed is not much more interesting than me."
"You can use it to vent when you are lonely and unbearable."
"By the way, it can also talk."
At this moment, the parrot flapped its wings in Jiang Linxian's hand and screamed: "Exchange him, exchange him!"
! "
"It's really interesting." The witch looked at Jiang Linxian with interest, as if she was looking at a piece of art.
Jiang Linxian always felt hairy all over his body and cold on his back.
He was not so nervous when he met the ghost ship.
"Master Witch, stop joking." Steve turned around and said displeasedly: "Jack is my crew member and cannot be exchanged for you."
"One Death Coin is enough to exchange for news about the Lost Island."
The witch turned around, floated in front of Steve, and pocketed the death coin.
"Okay, Steve, then take this death coin as an exchange item, and I will tell you the location of the Lost Island."
After the witch finished speaking, she turned around and drifted to the place where the sea water was blocked.
A transparent tentacle on her lower body stretched out to block the space and submerged into the sea water.
Immediately afterwards, a large group of tiny fish quickly swam towards her arm and wrapped it around her entire arm.
The witch withdrew her arm from the sea.
There was a map in the palm of her hand.
"Steve, this is the map to the Lost Island."
Steve stepped forward to take the map, glanced at it casually, and put it in his arms.
"The deal is done, great witch." Steve said with deep eyes.
"It's just an exchange of equal value." The witch looked away, drifted to Jiang Linxian's side, and chuckled: "If you need to exchange anything next time, remember to tell me."
"I will gladly accept this human in exchange."
Jiang Linxian turned his head away from looking at the witch.
"I have met many human beings, but you seem to be unusual." The witch was not angry because of Jiang Linxian's ignorance. Instead, she looked at Jiang Linxian with great interest: "There is a trace of disaster entangled in you."
"There's still a little bit of light."
The witch said calmly: "You have been to the Triangle of Death, and it seems that you have been affected by the ghosts and gods of the sea."
"I'm curious how long you can survive."
"Disaster?" Jiang Linxian turned to stare at the witch and asked curiously: "What disaster is happening to me?"
"Also, what does it mean how long I can live?"
"Disaster is very mysterious. It cannot be seen or touched, but it can appear at any time." The witch said illusory things: "You are haunted by disaster and full of death. You will encounter danger at any time."
"But I see a glimmer of hope in you."
"Is there any way to crack it?" Jiang Linxian asked.
"It depends on you." After the witch finished speaking, she drifted into the distance: "If you are willing to stay here and serve me for five years, I might tell you."
The witch's words were too mysterious. She seemed to say a lot, but also seemed to say nothing. He was a little confused.
He's just like the old Riddler.
It's like the old fortune teller under the overpass, who fools the layman into obediently paying money.
Moreover, he felt that the witch's words were only cursing his own death.
"I hope to see you next time Steve comes here again." The witch added again.
Jiang Linxian said no more.
The next time Steve comes, he may have completed a copy.
Alternatively, Steve dies by his own flintlock.
"Let's go." Steve turned his head and walked towards the middlemost water column.
His body slowly moved upwards, leaving this space.
Others followed his lead and walked into the middle of the water column.
Jiang Linxian finally entered the water column.
After the other members left, Jiang Linxian asked curiously: "Miko, what do you think about plane fusion and demons?"
"This is a catastrophe in the chaotic world..." the witch said lightly, as if she was an expert who stayed out of the matter.
...
After coming out of Spirit Island and getting on the boat, Steve drove the ship to the destination - Lost Island.
As Steve's ship left, Spirit Island sank to the bottom of the sea again.
When it reappeared, it restored the appearance of the previous island.
After Angies boarded the ship, he found Steve again: "Captain Steve, at first, we didn't know that we were going to Lost Island to find the legendary Explorer."
"So the price when we were hired may need to be renegotiated."
"After all, the time to go to sea has been extended a lot."
"How about doubling it again?" Steve said seriously.
"I think it needs five times." Angis said seriously.
"The Lost Island is rumored to be very dangerous, so if you go to such a place, whether you can come back alive is a question mark."
Steve smiled, looked at Jiang Linxian with a strange look, and said, "You can talk to my vice-captain about this issue."
Jiang Linxian looked a little embarrassed.
If it were to quintuple, he would still lose money. This would be a loss-making business.
He can't do it.
But he couldn't say anything clearly about lowering prices and getting kickbacks.
Jiang Linxian only regarded them as cannon fodder at first. After all, they were ghosts, so it didn't matter to him.
So I was careful about the price.
Now that Angis is asking for five times the price, Jiang Linxian will definitely not give it.
He came to Angis and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about money, I won't treat you badly."
"After we obtain the treasure, we can share more of it with you."
"Even if I give you five times the commission now, you won't have any use."
"This is what you said." Angis said seriously: "But in order to prove that you are telling the truth, I hope to pay us double the commission first."
"Of course that's no problem." Jiang Linxian smiled.
Even if he paid twice as much and only spent 4,000 Chaos Coins, he still made a thousand dollars.
Not bad.
After paying the money, the other members looked much better.
Work harder.
Jiang Linxian stepped onto the rudder and said to Steve: "Captain Steve, the commission you gave me seems not enough. Do you need to pay me more?"
"You think I don't know the commission you talked about?"
Steve sneered.
The parrot standing on his shoulder suddenly shouted: "Black-hearted Jack! Black-hearted Jack! Black-hearted Jack!"
Jiang Linxian looked at the parrot and wanted to take action, but held back.
Finally stopped talking about it.
The ship continued to sail on the sea, and Steve took the map of the Lost Island and the compass to sail.
After the ship was at sea for two days, Steve rang the ship's bell one early morning.
"Dear crew members, the Lost Island has arrived!"
