The ship slowly sailed into the sea where Devil's Maw Island was located.
The island, which was covered by the purple fog and had an unknown size, had now fallen apart.
From afar, pieces of debris of different sizes could be seen dotting the surface of the sea, exposed to the light of the blood moon.
"Captain, the terrain ahead is too complicated. We can't sail any further." When the Queen's Revenge, which had lowered its sails and slowed down, approached the debris of the island, the lookout shouted at Blackbeard again.
Blackbeard's reaction was also very decisive. After hearing the lookout, he gave an order almost without hesitation. "Drop anchor."
…
After all, it was a festival mode with rewards. The difficulty of the players was very different from when they queued up for the "Team Nightmare" dungeon.
The last time they came to Devil's Maw Island, Feng Bujue and Hong Hu's levels were only a little higher than the current Snow, and their combat power was obviously not as strong as the high-level NPCs on the island. Moreover, the poisonous purple fog completely covered the sky above the island. Not only did it limit the players' ability to control the air, but it also added a debuff that "causes discomfort (such as hunger, thirst, fatigue, pain, and so on) to a high degree. If not relieved, it will cause a sharp drop in all values." Worse still, the system constantly issued stage missions that "directly erased if you can't complete it."
But now that they had landed on the island … the situation was very different.
Not to mention how much the combat power of Brother Jue and Hong Hu had increased, and not to mention how much trouble the dispersal of the poisonous fog would save everyone, the most important point was that the entire Blackbeard Pirates was now in an alliance with the players.
To put it more bluntly, there was a whole ship of powerful cannon fodder for Brother Jue and the others to use.
"Garlic, Godfrey, Mardy." As soon as the ship came to a stop, Blackbeard, who was on the helmsman's platform, glanced at the deck and then ordered the three of them, "The three of you will lead ten people to go down and check it out first."
"Yes, Captain." Garlic didn't hesitate when it came to the captain's orders. He immediately responded and gave Godfrey and Maddy (Only then did the players know Brother Thymouth's real name) a look. The two of them understood and immediately took action …
They were so efficient in their work that, in three minutes, Garlic and Godfrey had prepared the boats for landing, and Maddy selected from the crowd ten of the most junior sailors on board.
After the 13 men boarded the ship, the pirates on the deck used a rope to smoothly lower the small boat that was fixed to the side of the Queen's Revenge.
Whoosh!
As soon as the boat was in the water, the twelve men, including Godfrey and Marty, took up their oars and began to row forward.
"Row slowly. Pay attention to the water." Garlic was the only one who wasn't rowing, but his task was more tiring. At this moment, he held a skull-shaped searchlight in his hand and sat at the bow of the ship, paying close attention to the wind and the grass in front of him.
In this area full of hidden reefs, it was relatively safe to use this kind of small boat to sail. Basically, there was no need to worry about hitting the reefs. Of course, Big Brother Garlic wasn't worried about hitting the reefs. He was worried about other things …
…
"The three of you." After sending out the scouting team, Blackbeard came to the three players and said, "There are some things that I can tell you now."
"Oh?" Feng Bujue felt that there was a hidden meaning in Blackbeard's words. "You mean … these things … weren't convenient to talk about earlier?"
"Yes," Blackbeard replied expressionlessly. Blackbeard replied expressionlessly, "Because you might regret cooperating with me after hearing it, or take the opportunity to bargain with me."
"Hmm …" Hong Hu analyzed some information from Blackbeard's words and immediately said, "So … at this moment, we don't even have any room to bargain?"
"Hehe …" Blackbeard laughed. His laughter revealed the despicableness and untrustworthiness that a pirate should have. "That kind of 'leeway' has never existed. If you think it exists, then I must have deliberately made you feel that way for some purpose."
"Okay, I didn't expect you to be trustworthy." Feng Bujue shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Tell me … what is it?"
"It started a few months ago …" Blackbeard continued. "At that time, I had just returned to this ship. In order to make the journey more efficient, I sent out a spy with special abilities. His main task was to help me find out the whereabouts of my former subordinates in various parts of the main universe. He also wanted to confirm if there were any changes to the locations where I hid my treasures."
"Let me guess …" Feng Bujue said, "Is that spy a black shadow who likes to dance?"
As soon as he said this, Blackbeard's expression changed slightly. However, he quickly concealed his emotions and sneered. "Haha … you know a lot."
"It's okay. Go on." Feng Bujue's tone was still relaxed, giving off an unfathomable feeling.
"Long story short …" Blackbeard did not want to reveal too much information to them. After a few sentences, he used the phrase "long story short". "The last time Dancing Shadow sent me a message was when he came to this Devil Chomp Island."
As Blackbeard spoke, he reached into the pocket of his captain's coat and took out a silver conch that was bigger than an ordinary mug. "This is the 'Psychic Conch' that he used to send me messages. You can touch it."
"Touch?" Snow was immediately suspicious because when he saw the item, his first reaction was that it should be a device similar to a recording device. They only needed to "listen".
But … Blackbeard had told them to touch it.
"Yes, touch it with your hands," Blackbeard replied as he turned his gaze to Snow.
Seeing this, the three players immediately exchanged a look and came to a consensus. They placed their hands on the silver conch almost at the same time.
At that moment, a messy piece of information flowed into their minds like an electric current.
"Phantom Demon Church … Guard … River of Time … Lost Power …
"Anomaly … Summoning … Four Gods … Revenge …"
The content was not 'sound' or 'image'; it was purely 'information'. It was as if someone had directly transferred a part of their memory into their brain.
"Whoa …" Snow's mental power was weaker. After he received the message from the 'Psychic Conch', he staggered and almost fell.
Feng Bujue and Hong Hu could still stand, but they did not place their hands on the conch for too long because they could feel that this thing had the property of 'mental corruption'.
Several seconds later, Feng Bujue looked at Blackbeard and tossed out a rather constructive question. "How long has it been since the last time Dancing Shadow sent you a message?"
Blackbeard's answer was, "Long enough … so long that I do not wish to see him again …"
