Chapter 564 Treasure hunt fever

After the relevant news came out, Skull Bay immediately became a tourist hotspot in the world. Every year, a large number of people from all over the world hunt for treasures in the waters of Skeleton Bay, and many people even settled in Skeleton Bay.

Nowadays, Skull Bay has become the most prosperous sea area in the Pearl Island Chain. There are more than a dozen islands in the entire sea area, large and small, settled by people, with a total number of hundreds of thousands.

These people are not only British, but also people from other countries. Because of Skull Bay’s special immigration policy, people living here can still retain their original nationality, but as time goes by, they no longer care about their original nationality. They prefer

Call yourself a Skeleton Bay person.

Although a large number of treasure hunters have gathered in Skull Bay, there is still no news about the treasures of the five pirate kings. Over time, except for a very few people who are still interested in this legendary treasure, the rest have begun to look for other livelihoods. Now, Skeleton

Treasure hunting in the Bay has become an entertainment project that attracts tourists.

Now the final destination of some of the passengers on the Snow Queen is Skull Bay. Needless to say, they are here for the treasure, because a month ago, newspapers in various countries in the Velen continent reported something, you just have a way

Priest ornaments belonging to the extinct tribe of Mozan continent appeared in Skeleton Bay.

At first, people in various countries did not pay much attention to this news, because this kind of news about the discovery of the Pirate King's treasure in Skull Bay often appeared in newspapers from various countries, and its value dropped from the initial headlines of major newspapers to

The last pages of a third-rate newspaper.

People from all over the world obviously regarded this news as the unreliable rumors they had heard before, but they soon discovered that this rumor was somewhat unusual, because just after the rumor appeared in the last few pages of third-rate newspapers, the next day everyone

The front pages of major newspapers reported this incident, as if the Pirate King's treasure had returned to its initial popularity in an instant.

Subsequently, relevant reports appeared in various newspapers in more and more detail, and it was only then that people from all over the world realized that this was no longer unreliable rumors, but a real thing.

It turns out that this set of priest jewelry was discovered by a fisherman. At that time, he was fishing in the inland waters of Skeleton Bay and accidentally discovered a box floating on the sea in the distance, because from time to time, he would see the remains of some shipwrecks on the sea.

There were wreckage and other items that came down, so the fisherman regarded the box as those items and salvaged it.

And when he salvaged the box and pried it open, he found that inside the box was a set of strange-looking but extremely finely crafted jewelry. Just because the jewelry was made of copper, a layer of green had grown on the surface.

rust and give off an unpleasant odor.

After returning to the shore, the fisherman took the jewelry directly to the local pawnshop and pawned the set of jewelry. In order to exchange for a high price, he was induced by the pawnshop to tell the story of how he found the set of jewelry, and how he found the set of jewelry.

The sea area where trinkets are found.

At that time, the fisherman felt that something was a little strange, but he didn't think too much about it. It wasn't until he heard rumors about the treasure later that he realized that what he had found was a pirate king's treasure jewelry.

Even though he was annoyed, the fisherman did not dare to go to the pawnshop to ask for extra money, because the pawnshop was run by a powerful force in Skull Bay, and asking for money would only lead to death. However, local reporters soon inquired.

After arriving at the source of the jewelry and finding him, he was willing to pay for the information. Naturally, he was willing, so he explained the whole process in detail, and only then did follow-up reports come about.

Later, due to external pressure, the local power that obtained the set of jewelry had to auction the set of jewelry, and finally bought it to a large nobleman in the United States and California, and then the nobleman organized a professional treasure hunting team.

, based in Skeleton Bay.

At the same time, some experts who study pirate treasures believe that the reason why this set of jewelry appeared on the sea is related to an earthquake that occurred in Skeleton Bay not long ago. During that earthquake, a large whirlpool appeared on the sea, so in this area

There must be a huge cave at the bottom of the sea, and the Pirate King's treasure may be hidden in the cave.

As soon as this news came out, Skull Bay became a holy place for treasure hunters from all over the world. People like the Snow Queen were already considered late arrivals, but late arrivals also had the advantage of going late. At least they had places to explore.

A lot less, no need to waste too much energy.

Leo was originally not interested in the Pirate King's treasure, but when he saw some lists of the Pirate King's treasures that the treasure hunters took out, he was immediately attracted by the contents on the list, because he was on the list.

A wizard's magic book from the Tower was found among the drawings.

Leo was able to recognize this magic book because he had seen it in the collection of Death Valley Wizard Tower. This book was a magic book belonging to the walker who was closest to the gods among the tower wizards.

There weren't many records about the Wanderer in the book that Leo saw. The only thing that was certain was that the Wanderer had the ability to travel through different worlds, and he was a person who could see through the truth of the world.

Leo does not doubt that the drawings in the directory are fake, because this directory was compiled by more than thirty experts on the Pirate King's treasures. It can be said to be the most authoritative information on the Pirate King's treasures in the entire Velen world.

In addition, the reason why Leo is sure that this is the Wanderer's magic book is because the book that records the Wanderer's experience mentioned that the Wanderer last appeared in the Wakanda tribe, and the Wakanda tribe's treasures are also on the list.

Within, and being listed together with the magic book that Leo saw, this is more than just a coincidence.

Although Leo was interested in this magic book, he had no intention of staying in Skeleton Bay to hunt for treasure. He just planned to try his luck while the Snow Queen was repairing the hull and replenishing supplies. If he didn't find it, forget it and see if he could find it in the future.

It's still possible to find it.

As for being found by others, this is a good thing for him, because in that case, he does not have to waste time looking for a needle in the haystack of Skeleton Bay, but can directly find the owner of the book, or buy it with money, or

It's a very simple matter whether it's a direct robbery.

In the next two days, Leo stopped studying the three-dimensional root array, and instead found various books related to the Pirate King's treasure and read them carefully to get a general understanding of the situation.

Two days later, with a crisp whistle from the lookout at the top of the mast, the first mate told the passengers that the ship had entered the waters of Skeleton Bay, and that they would soon be able to see the most famous pirate cemetery.

All the passengers on the ship came to the deck and looked towards the front of the ship. After the ship traveled a certain distance, suddenly a passenger standing on the bow pointed in the distance and shouted twice. Everyone followed his fingers.

Looked in the direction.

I saw a fog appearing on the sea in the distance. This fog was very strange. They were entrenched on the sea, and the strong sea wind could not blow them away. It was as if they had driven a stake into the sea.

The clouds and fog have settled down.

But the fog that was supposed to be a piece of fog was like sliced ​​cheese, with a huge gap opening in the middle. The cloud and fog were divided into two halves, and the gap was very wide, equivalent to a dozen large ships like the Snow Queen.

The width of them together makes it look like someone has specially opened a sea channel to allow ships to enter Skeleton Bay.

The Pirate Cemetery originated from the battle in which the Kingdom of England annihilated the pirates of Skull Bay. After the five pirate kings were captured, the pirates began to go their own way and planned to flee. Taking advantage of their numerical advantage, England

The Kingdom's navy had no time to take care of them, and in the end some people were able to escape the encirclement of the Kingdom of England's navy.

However, under the encouragement of the insiders arranged by the kingdom among the pirates, these pirates who lost their leader and were extremely uneasy believed that it would be safer if everyone gathered together to act, and even if they encountered the kingdom's navy, they could still rely on the power of such a huge fleet.

Let the royal navy have no way to deal with them.

So, they quickly agreed on a time, and when the time arrived, they chose the route they thought was the safest, such as sailing outside Skeleton Bay.

However, they didn't know that their whereabouts had already been tracked by the Royal Navy, and an ambush was set up on the route they thought was safe.

One was unintentional, the other was intentional, and the final result is self-evident. The pirates were completely annihilated, and all the pirate ships sank into the sea.

Just when the last pirate ship sank to the bottom of the sea, a large amount of fog suddenly appeared on the sea, covering the entire sea area containing the pirate shipwrecks, and anyone approaching the sea area would be dragged into the sea area and trapped to death.

Their ships also became part of the shipwrecks on the ocean floor.

For a long time, if you wanted to enter Skeleton Bay, you had to go around this sea area and pass through a reef area. But later, for some unknown reason, a crack suddenly appeared in the fog, and ships were able to pass through again.

This passage makes it faster and safer to enter and exit Skeleton Bay.

When the ship passed through this passage of clouds and fog, the passengers did not leave the deck. Instead, they stood on the deck and signaled the old captain to drive the Snow Queen closer to the edge of the fog wall.

The old captain knew very well what these people were thinking and did not refuse. He skillfully drove the ship to a distance of about ten meters from the fog wall, and then drove parallel to the fog wall.

The passengers were so excited that they came to the side of the ship near the fog wall, and then looked towards the fog wall. Then some people exclaimed, and then pointed at the fog wall to invite others to look over.

I could see, deep in the thick fog that the man pointed at, several huge old-fashioned sailing ships looming in the fog, and a lot of fighting sounds and painful wailings could be heard among them, as if there was a tragic battlefield behind the fog.

In fact, it is not wrong to call it a battlefield, because in the thick fog on the sea, what happened was the battle that destroyed the pirates of Skull Bay. As if the fog had the power to freeze time, it also solidified the memories of the dead at that station.

Their souls allow them to replay the scene of that battle all the time. This is the most famous spectacle of Skull Bay, the Eternal Battlefield.

There are many different opinions about the formation of the Eternal Battlefield, and there are all kinds of magical theories. However, in the eyes of ordinary people, the explanation of the Royal Academy of Sciences is the most accepted. Their explanation is that there is a certain kind of ore in this sea area, and this kind of ore can exist in a specific environment.

and climate, it will automatically record the surrounding images. When the war occurred, it happened to match the characteristics of this aggregated ore, thus recording the scene of the naval battle that year. But now everyone sees only the images recorded that year.

.

As for the thick fog covering this sea area, the explanation they gave is that there are a very large number of submarine volcanoes here. Since Skeleton Bay is an earthquake-prone area, this explanation makes sense.

However, for some extraordinary people and dependents who have powerful power in the dark world, these explanations are not facts at all, because they can all feel the power in the thick fog, just like Leo can easily feel it through the spiritual network now

It's the same as the energy fluctuations in dense fog.

After learning some things about Skull Bay, Leo was also curious about the various mysterious scenes in Skull Bay, including the famous spectacle of the real battlefield.

When the ship approached, Leo first extended his spiritual net into the thick fog to check the situation in the thick fog. At the same time, he also used the power of the true eye in his spiritual vision to see through the camouflage of the thick fog.

Under the dual effects of the spiritual network and spiritual vision, no matter how powerful the power contained in the thick fog is, it cannot resist Leo's prying eyes.

The so-called ore recording image hypothesis of the Royal Academy of Sciences of England has been equated with absurdity in Leo's mind at this moment, because he discovered that the ships in the thick fog, as well as the sounds of killing and shouting were all real, but they

Because some unknown force is moving around in the fog-covered sea, and they are constantly making contributions to each other, and those fighting sounds and shouts do not come from living people, but from an unknown black creature that looks like a human.

.

This unknown black creature makes a cry that sounds like a fight and attacks each other. Those who fail will be killed by other unknown black creatures, and then new unknown black creatures will crawl out of the sea and continue what they were doing.

In fact, not only are there a large number of unknown black creatures on the shipwrecks on the sea, but the sea floor is also full of such unknown black creatures. They linger on the edge of the fog wall on the sea floor, trying to break out of the fog wall, but from this thick fog

, or in other words, there is always a powerful energy in this sea area that seals all extraordinary things in this sea area, and cannot leak even a trace.

It seemed that the old captain also had some scruples about the scenery of the real battlefield. After driving for a certain distance close to the fog wall, he immediately turned the rudder and drove the ship to the center of the route. He accelerated the ship and sailed towards the opposite side. He quickly passed through the fog wall.

Passed through this sea area wrapped in thick fog.
