Everything before his eyes was so desolate.
Ol 'Seadog dragged his weary body forward, feeling as though his mouth was about to crack and bleed. Ahead of him, he could only see scattered weeds. For some unknown reason, these weeds were actually black in color, causing one's hair to stand on end. The environment here was much worse compared to the outer islands. Not only did Ol 'Seadog fail to find any food, he had also expended a lot of his stamina. He couldn't help but sit down and curse. "What the hell is this place?! Why can't I find anything to eat?! "
There was no food.
There was no fresh water.
Ol 'Seadog could feel his stamina deteriorating rapidly. At this rate, he feared he would be trapped to death.
No.
I have to save myself.
Ol 'Seadog forced himself to crawl back up and continued walking along the desolate beach, muttering. "No! I can't die here! It wasn't easy for me to climb to the rank of Chieftain, how can I die here for no reason?! "
The desire to survive drove him forward.
However, everything before his eyes remained incomparably desolate, as though this land had been cursed.
* Squeak Squeak *
A bizarre sound echoed from a clump of weeds ahead. Ol 'Seadog's eyes abruptly lit up as he pulled out his dagger and rushed forward. He rapidly dug through the weeds and soon found a rat nest. Inside the nest was a type of rat with grey fur and sharp teeth. This ferocious rat bit Ol' Seadog's arm. However, Ol 'Seadog ignored the blood flowing out from his arm and stabbed the rat to death with his dagger. Then, he hungrily swallowed the rat's blood and bones.
His stamina finally began to recover.
Only now did Ol 'Seadog have some strength to continue his exploration. After walking for half a day, when the sun became increasingly intense, something finally appeared in his vision.
An incomparably colossal statue!
Its height was probably over a hundred meters. At present, only half of its body remained. In front of him was a river, while on the left was another colossal statue. However, all that was left was a pair of severed legs.
"Where the hell is this?"
Ol 'Seadog's expression turned somewhat panicked. Based on his knowledge, he should have heard of such a landmark. However, he had never heard of it before. This meant that he had arrived at a completely foreign land.
A river flowed between the two statues.
After drinking several mouthfuls of water, Ol 'Seadog carefully observed his surroundings. He then noticed a weathered stone tablet. The words on it were already very blurred, but with his knowledge of antiques, he could still determine that it had existed for a very long time.
"It's not the Eastern Kingdom."
Ol 'Seadog's face was pale as he muttered to himself, "Where the hell have I been blown to by the wind and waves?"
Pass through the statue.
His field of vision gradually widened.
It was a barren land. The red soil looked as if it had been burned by a raging fire. There were barely any living creatures. There was a huge hill in the distance.
In order to get a better view, Ol 'Seadog frantically ran over.
However.
When he stood in front of the huge hill, his expression froze.
Because he saw someone.
In other words, the humongous hill in front of him was in the shape of a human. He saw an arm buried in sand and a huge petrified head. He didn't know how big the giant's body was. Just the part that was exposed above the ground was like a hill.
Wu wu wu!
A strange wind blew, as if there was something very frightening in the distance. Ol 'Seadog couldn't help but shiver.
"This place is too strange."
Ol 'Seadog hesitated, not knowing if he should continue forward or return to the coast.
This was an unfamiliar continent.
He couldn't determine its size, but it was certainly not as vast as the continental shelf. This should be the Eastern part of the world, because such a strange place could only exist in the East.
A faint shout could be heard.
Ol 'Seadog stood at the top of the hill. Because the surroundings were barren, he could see a small shadow from afar.
"Someone is calling me?"
Ol 'Seadog vigilantly looked towards the direction of the huge stone statue with pleasant surprise. He saw a small boat. It was the kind of lifeboat that could only fit a few people. Usually, it would be suspended from a large ship.
"Motherfucker!"
Ol 'Seadog cried out in excitement and ran towards that direction, muttering to himself, "I thought those bastards were all dead. Who would've thought there were still a few bastards alive! "
It was a fleet of merchant ships heading towards the East.
There were a total of six ships, four cargo ships and two warships. Even if they encountered such a huge storm, it was impossible for all of them to perish.
It seemed his luck was pretty good. Some of his men were washed here by the waves.
"Boss!"
A pirate with a ferocious face rushed over and excitedly said, "You're not dead! That's great!"
Ol 'Seadog slapped him and curled his lips, saying, "Even if you're dead, I won't die! Is there anyone else? Only the three of you are left? Where are the things? Did anything from the ships get washed here? "
There were hundreds of people on board and six ships.
Ol 'Seadog was still holding on to a trace of hope, hoping that one of the ships would be washed here by the waves.
"There are still more than ten."
A pirate lackey beside him spoke, "Two of them can't be saved. We came over to scout the situation. A ship is stranded on the beach over there, but the hull is badly damaged. Most of our brothers are dead. "
"But there are still some supplies."
It was a little better than he expected. Ol 'Seadog's complexion looked a lot better as he ordered, "Let's head back first. This place is very strange. Who knows if there are any damned things here! "
The ship was still here.
Even if it was damaged, there were still some things left inside.
With a few more surviving subordinates by his side, Ol 'Seadog's mind became active. After a while, he would investigate the situation here. If it was really a desolate and ownerless land, it would be considered as a discovery.
The trade with the East this time was basically ruined.
If he returned to the South Coast, he might even be punished. If he could find something here, he might be interested in asking Sir Søren to give him a way out.
After all, Sir Søren's ambition was very big.
Although this place looked like a godforsaken place, it might be of some use. After returning, he planned to organize a group of people to explore this place and make a nautical chart to determine the location.
There were many unknown places in the ocean.
Because it was easy to encounter sea monsters in the deep sea, there were some places that pirates had never been to. Looking at the situation here, Ol 'Seadog intuitively felt that this was a new land without a master.
Perhaps a great disaster happened in a certain era, resulting in this desolate place.
Eastern Sea Region.
If he could find a place to stay in the Eastern Sea Region, he might be able to make up for his mistakes and maintain his current position. After all, his subordinates had already guessed that Sir Søren was preparing to reach into the Eastern Sea Region.
