Chapter 248 Found
In the Storm Sea, the territory of the crocodile people, in a cave on a bare island.
The air in this island cave is humid, the light is dark, and the conditions are quite harsh no matter how you look at it, but it is the base camp of the crocodile people living here and the place where their clan leader lives.
The leader of the crocodile people is a powerful old crocodile man. He is also the main blood source of this group and enjoys a very high status among this group of crocodile people.
“Chief! You are really old!”
At this time, Gu Gucha entered the cave and saw the old patriarch whom he had not seen for many years, and couldn't help but sigh.
He saw a huge old crocodile man lying on a stone slab in front of him, but this old crocodile man completely lost the power and majesty he remembered, and his aging face was even... Most of the color of the scales has faded and started to turn white, and the body looks very weak. Even lying there and doing nothing will make a sound of labored breathing from time to time.
"Gugucha... you are back."
Hearing the blunt greetings of the giant crocodile man in front of him, the old crocodile man lying on the stone floor opened his eyes, revealing His eyes were already quite cloudy.
"It's me! Back then you forbade me from leaving my tribe, saying that without the protection of my tribe, I would surely die at the hands of those cunning humans, but you were wrong! I proved that I can live a good life!"
There was not much respect for the old patriarch in Gu Gucha's words, and there was even a lot of resentment.
"Cough...cough...yes...Gugucha, you win."
The old crocodile man listened to the somewhat excited Gugucha in front of him, but there was no emotion on his old face. Showing too many expressions, he just coughed twice and admitted his mistakes back then.
"You are looking for me...there must be something wrong."
He then closed his eyes a little tiredly and replied slowly.
Gugucha couldn't help but look a little sad after hearing this. He came back this time with the intention of proving that he was right back then, and to feel proud in front of this tough patriarch. But he didn't expect that the other party had already aged so much, so simply and casually. He admitted his mistakes back then and no longer had the tough look in his memory.
"My human partner wants to cooperate with the tribe. He offers golden orchid coins, and we help him find an island called Forbidden Fruit Island in the Sea of Storms."
Gu Gucha then started talking about business. , this matter has already gained the support of some tribesmen through Wang Zhifan's efforts. If you want to gain the support of another part, you can get the help of the old crocodile man in front of you.
"Ahem...Gugucha...you know...I don't like...ahem...cooperating with humans..."
As expected, the old crocodile man rejected him with a tone of voice He seemed weak, but his meaning was quite firm.
"Haha...Old patriarch, you are still like this, you don't know how to adapt."
A somewhat sarcastic smile appeared on Gu Gucha's face.
“Stop holding on to your old-fashioned ideas! Admit it! Human beings are the masters of this world! If we don’t cooperate with them and learn from them, we are destined to perish!”
He opened his mouth to refute the old crocodile man in front of him, his tone was already quite disrespectful.
But the old and weak crocodile man didn't seem to care much. After listening, he was silent for a few seconds before slowly speaking:
"Gugucha... you are too young... you have not experienced many things... so you have such naive ideas... everything I have done... is for our crocodile family... I will not promise anyone else The tribe is in contact with humans..."
Hearing this categorical rejection, Gu Gucha's eyes suddenly flashed with a look that was true, but he did not panic and continued to taunt back:
"Old patriarch, You are too old! Everything in the clan is not up to you like before! I will convince other clan members that they will definitely choose my path after seeing the benefits!"
After saying that, he turned around and left decisively, not intending to continue to tangle with this aging and rigid clan leader. Because of his current state, his influence on the clan had dropped too much, so he didn't need to care too much about his thoughts.
However, Gu Gucha still underestimated the will of the old patriarch. When he had just turned around and not taken two steps, the old crocodile man's tired but still articulate voice came from behind him:< br>
"Stop... Gu Gucha... I know... where to find... Forbidden Fruit Island... please let go... my people..."
Hearing this, Gu Gucha immediately turned back in surprise. .
Some time later, in the captain's cabin of the Dogfish.
"Your clan leader told you the location of Forbidden Fruit Island? Has he been to that place?"
At this moment, Wang Zhifan was a little surprised by the news brought by Gu Gucha. He originally wanted to He relied on the crocodile people's advantage as a marine race to help him find the island, but he didn't know that the other party directly knew the information he needed.
"The patriarch didn't say much, he just told me how to get there."
Gu Gucha shook his head at Wang Zhifan and did not elaborate because the other party was too old and did not have the extra energy to discuss in detail.
"Is this information reliable? Your clan leader is not the type who likes to brag, right?"
Wang Zhifan is still a little hesitant at this point, because based on his investigation during this period, it can be Knowing the location of Forbidden Fruit Island is indeed very hidden, and it can be said that only a few people in the world have actually been there.
"I'm not completely sure...but it should be reliable. My intuition told me that he didn't lie."
Gu Gucha thought for a moment before replying.
"Okay then..."
Wang Zhifan felt that this crocodile man partner had always been reliable, so he chose to believe it. He thought for a while and said: "I will give your tribe a Thousand gold orchid coins as a deposit, let them help me find it And collect information about Forbidden Fruit Island. At the same time, you take us to that place. If we don’t find it, come back and continue to mobilize your tribe to help.” Hope is all on the side.
"Okay... One thousand gold orchid coins is enough to go to the nearest seaport to purchase a large amount of supplies. They will agree to help."
Gu Gucha also has another reason that he did not say, that is, Wang Zhifan was defeated in the previous duel challenge. A large number of tribesmen were convinced and willing to cooperate with him.
"In this case, let's set off as soon as possible! I'm already tired of being bothered by this island."
After discussing this, Wang Zhifan stopped thinking about it. The current copy is already his It was the longest one he had ever spent. The constant wear and tear on his patience made him not want to miss any opportunity to complete this dungeon.
In this way, what happened after that was simple and clear. Wang Zhifan and Gu Gucha paid a visit to the Crocodile Man. Under the leadership of Gu Gucha, the two parties reached a preliminary cooperation, and then they returned to Dajiao. The Shark set off that day to the location provided by the crocodile tribe leader.
According to Gu Gucha, that place is quite far away from the territory of the crocodile people. It is a central area of the Storm Sea. Even if a sea ship sails at the highest speed, it will take more than half a month, and the wind and waves are bigger there, so the sea ship Navigation would be more dangerous.
However, none of this can hinder Wang Zhifan's will to go. He even feels more reliable because this location is in the middle of the Sea of Storms, because according to his long-term investigation, the Forbidden Fruit Island basically appears in In that kind of place, if the Sea of Storms hadn't been so huge and the so-called central zone wasn't so big, he would have let the Dogfish plunge into it long ago.
In this way, Wang Zhifan and others spent nearly a month sailing in the boring stormy sea. In fact, during this period, they occasionally encountered some troubles other than wind and waves, such as encountering a There were moving sea monsters, but Wang Zhifan's source of ice power restrained these guys very much and dispatched them easily, so this problem did not have any impact on their voyage.
When the time came one month later, Gu Gucha and the navigators determined the precise location based on the iconic islands in this area, and they finally arrived at the location provided by the crocodile tribe leader.
“There is nothing here!”
"We have been working in vain for a month!"
In the huge wind and waves, both brothers Chen Ming ran excitedly from the cabin to the deck, because they were also tortured by this lengthy copy and wanted to end it quickly, but The result didn't seem so good.
"I'm sure the patriarch was talking about this sea area...Did he lie deliberately to let us leave?"
I saw a rough sea without any islands, and the ancient crocodile-man giant Han Gucha was a little unable to hold back at this time. He chose to trust his intuition a month ago, but he ended up being slapped in the face like this.
But it was quite different from the disappointed expressions of others. Wang Zhifan was standing on the side of the ship at the moment, with his eyes very focused against the huge sea wind. He stared at a sea surface in front of him that seemed to be normal, and suddenly turned his head. , opened his mouth and asked the sailors to drive the Dogfish over.
The sailors are different from players like them. They work with money and have little obsession with finding the Forbidden Fruit Island. Therefore, they have no real sense of the current setbacks. After hearing Wang Zhifan's instructions, they immediately went to work.
After a short period of time, the Dogfish, under the skillful control of the sailors, finally arrived at the target sea area with shaking and bumping. There still seemed to be nothing here except the sea water that was constantly charging back and forth in the sea breeze.
"My perception just now is indeed correct... There is a very special mysterious atmosphere left in this place... Although it is very weak, this kind of power has never appeared in other sea areas... It is probably the Poseidon messenger left behind... Down..."
Wang Zhifan on the Dogfish After arriving at the target area, he released his senses with all his strength, and then quickly determined that what he just discovered was not an illusion. There might really be a Forbidden Fruit Island in this sea area. After all, he already knew that the Forbidden Fruit Island could move, and there were also Poseidon messengers. Guard, it's normal for the other party to leave some traces here.
"The breath extends all the way over there...you are sailing in that direction now!"
He then gave orders to the sailors again, asking the Dogfish to track in the direction determined by his extraordinary perception.
This process will not end in a short while. Wang Zhifan constantly senses the flow direction of the mysterious aura and guides the direction of the ship under his feet for several days. He does not even go to the sailors when they take turns to work. Rest even for an hour, because he has discovered that the mysterious aura he senses becomes clearer as the ship sails, that is, they are gradually approaching the position of the tracking target!
Finally, a few days passed, and when many crew members were privately discussing that Wang Zhifan had been guiding the navigation direction randomly these past few days, people on the deck of the Dogfish suddenly saw something appearing on the sea in front of them. A beautiful magical island!
It is an island that is not very large in area, but it is completely different from other rocky islands in the center of the storm sea. That is, it is very beautiful, and the surface of the island is covered with green trees. It is also dotted with many flowers and grasses, and you can even see many brightly colored birds flying around inside. It is a completely different world from the surrounding stormy sea!
“Found it! This is definitely the Forbidden Fruit Island!”
Wang Zhifan was the first to rush to the side of the ship after sensing the island in front of him. He did not need any other evidence to be extremely certain that the beautiful island in front of him was the Forbidden Fruit Island that he had been looking for for more than two months, because not only did the other party's The appearance matched the information he collected, and he also sensed a certain existence hidden under the sea that cannot be ignored!
“Messenger of Poseidon? Let me meet you for a moment!”
After thinking for a moment, Wang Zhifan judged that the being hidden under the sea must be contacted, so he took out the Fengyin bamboo hat from his personal space. On his head, and then a little under his feet, he crossed the side of the ship in front of him, and walked over step by step with his feet on the sea.
He wore a wind-hiding hat to eliminate the influence of the strong winds on the sea, and he used the auxiliary method of freezing the seawater under his feet to turn into solid ice when he walked there.
Some time later, Wang Zhifan, wearing a wind-hiding hat, stepped on the ice that was constantly forming under his feet and arrived close to the beautiful island. However, he did not focus his eyes on the charming island in front of him. He looked at the sea next to the island. That place looked no different from other places in the Storm Sea. The waves were rough and windy, but it did not affect the island next to it.
Under his gaze through the curtain of the bamboo hat, a huge black shadow gradually appeared under the sea. Then the black shadow slowly emerged from the sea like a piece of land, and then quickly rose up like a hill, appearing in front of his eyes. Show its full picture.
It was a huge dark blue sea creature. Its appearance was somewhat similar to a whale, but there were five eyes on both sides of its forehead. Each eye was a different color, but they all shone with a mysterious light. This Make it look full of inviolable power.
"Outsiders, congratulations, you are the second batch to find here."
The existence in the form of a multi-eyed giant whale then stared at Wang Zhifan with its ten eyes, and said She said it softly, sounding like an older woman who had been waiting for her old friend for a long time.
“Am I the second batch?”
Wang Zhifan was a little surprised when he heard this. On the one hand, he was surprised that this guy who looked not weak at first glance seemed to have a very friendly attitude. On the other hand, he was curious about who could catch up with him.
"Yes, several people like you have landed on Forbidden Fruit Island. They are now in a little trouble. You'd better go and help them."
This should be The multi-eyed whale, the messenger of Poseidon, continued.
