Chapter 17: Traps(1/3)

The sky is covered with clouds, and the dock of Skull Island is bustling with people. The smell of the sea is mixed with the smell of sweat, cigarettes, and alcohol. This place shows abnormal prosperity, but the environment is dirty.

Pirates are pirates. Even if they understand that trade is safer than robbery and gold coins are more stable, they will not consider long-term development. No one will repair the skeleton dock before it collapses into the seabed.

Pirates who have the funds and means to repair the Bone Dock are more willing to invest their money in their own properties in the Alliance or the Holy Orchid Kingdom, rather than repairing the Skeleton Dock that will be snatched away by who knows who tomorrow.

Arriving on the streets of the port, Su Xiao found that there were mostly two- or three-story buildings on both sides of the street. In the evening, most of the shop-like buildings had lanterns hanging on their doors.

"Bai Ye, we will meet at the hotel later. I will go find a friend to see if he is willing to go with us."

While Bishop Bai Jin was talking, he also dragged the red-eyed girl away from the grilled fish skewers stall.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't say anything, just threw a big money bag filled with pirate gold coins to Bishop Platinum. There were 100 pirate gold coins in it. This time, Bishop Platinum, the red-eyed girl, and the Beast Knight were willing to go to Nightmare Island together. Along the way,

These three people will definitely not be short of money.

There was something that Su Xiao couldn't figure out. With the strength of the platinum bishop, the red-eyed girl, and the beast knight, even if they were not particularly rich, they shouldn't be so short of money. The three of them seemed to be accomplishing something, and

That thing is very expensive.

Walking on the somewhat muddy street, Su Xiao had just arrived at Skull Island, but she still knew a little about the place. There were two groups of forces on the island, the Chamber of Commerce and the Beast Hunting Family.

The so-called beast hunting family is not formed by blood or kinship. All the beast hunters on Skull Island are members of the beast hunting family. The reason why they can compete with the Chamber of Commerce is their combat power.

They have gone deep into the dark sea to fight with sea beasts for many years, which makes them not afraid of life and death, but also has staggeringly powerful combat experience.

The current trend on Skull Island is that pirates have gradually declined, and the beast hunting family is rapidly rising. Although the business they do is dangerous, they are self-reliant. In addition, as long as the beast hunters do not die in the dark sea, they will have the beast hunting family as a guarantee in their later years.

This is also the reason why Su Xiao didn't see many pirates on the dock before.

Night fell quietly, and when Su Xiao arrived at the hotel in Port Town, as soon as she opened the door, noisy arguments and laughter could be heard, along with the smell of alcohol and the aroma of food.

Looking at the entire hotel, there are only a few pirates in poor clothes, drinking wine in the corner, sitting around the table, and drinking noisily. They are all members of the hunting group.

After Su Xiao and others pushed the door open, the voices of the drinkers on the first floor of the hotel became much quieter. More than 90% of the members of the animal hunting group just held their glasses and sat there motionless. They have been fighting sea beasts and exercising all year round.

They have a keener perception, but this also has disadvantages. When they are too close to Su Xiao, they will feel the danger of their hair standing on end.

Su Xiao stepped on the creaking wooden stairs and went upstairs. After a while, the bustle on the first floor resumed.

A pirate sitting in the corner picked up a wooden wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp. He even stuck out his tongue and paused in the glass without letting go of a drop of wine. This was a pirate. After getting a lot of gold coins,

, drink half a bottle and throw away half the bottle. After a period of time and no money, you will not let go of every drop of wine and every bite of food you can get.

This slovenly-looking pirate looked at the corridor at the end of the wooden steps. His eyes were faintly gleaming with purple light, which made people feel ominous. His hand reached into his sleeve and touched the tattoo inside, which he once drew.

The proud symbol, the symbol of the Angry Shark Pirates.

The pirate got up and left the hotel. At the same time, on the third floor of the hotel, in the guest room where Su Xiao was temporarily staying, Su Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed meditating, opened his eyes and looked at Bubu Wang beside him.

There is no need for verbal communication, Bubu already understands it by heart.

"Woof."

Bubu barked, blended into the environment, and followed the enemy.

Su Xiao took out rings the size of finger rings, and used spiritual shadow threads to lift the dozen rings so that they would naturally hang down. If there was a slight breeze, they would swing and collide with each other.

However, even if this kind of metal ring with faint purple light collides, it will not make a sound. This thing is not produced in the material world, but is made of materials from the nightmare zone.

This is the material Su Xiao obtained in the world of painting, which was almost swallowed up by the nightmare zone.

Su Xiao threw the remaining metal ring in his hand into his mouth and bit it with his teeth. This was a characteristic of the sound of nightmares. It could not be conducted through the air in the material world, but could be conducted through bone conduction.

Metal rings hung above Su Xiao. Su Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, continued to meditate. He had asked Dre, Silver Face, and Veronica to contact the local hunting group and purchase them for a reward of 3,000 to 5,000 gold coins.

A three-masted bone ship, thus traveling deep into the center of the dark sea and arriving at Nightmare Island.

Through the prompt just now, Su Xiao has determined that the Nightmare King is the informer. Now he has three options: attract the Nightmare King and kill him on Skull Island. This is the most time-consuming and has a low success rate.

The risk of combat is low.

What is even more dangerous is to go deep into the dark sea and fight the Nightmare King. If you win under these conditions, the bounty on the kill list will be adjusted to 700 ounces of time and space power.

The most dangerous thing is to board the Nightmare Island, which is the lair of the Nightmare King. Kill him in his lair and you will get 1500 ounces of the power of time and space. This bounty is equal to that of the betrayer.

What is certain is that the Nightmare King on Nightmare Island must have a large strength bonus, so that the Nightmare King on Nightmare Island should be more difficult to deal with than the betrayer.

The reason why I say this is based on the balance judgment. No matter where the betrayer is, there is a stable bounty of 1500 ounces of space-time power. This is a manifestation of strength, and the King of Nightmares is only on Nightmare Island.

The upper value is 1500 ounces of the power of time and space.

In other words, one is strong everywhere, and the other is that after leaving Nightmare Island, he pulled his crotch on the spot. Therefore, the King of Nightmares must be on Nightmare Island, so strong that it is outrageous, to be worth it.

1500 ounces of the power of space and time.

When Su Xiao meditated until late at night, he suddenly heard the clanking sound of metal colliding. The sound was both ethereal and a bit weird.

Su Xiao opened her eyes, and while removing all the spiritual shadow threads in the room, she grabbed all the fallen metal rings with one hand. The big fish was hooked.

Su Xiao spit out the metal ring in her mouth, flicked her thumb, and the metal ring sank silently into the wooden wall on the side. Because it was close to the nightmare, the purple light on the metal ring was more obvious. Very good, the shark next door

, most likely the spirit was dragged into the nightmare.

No matter how you say it, this shark was once one of the kings of the world. Even if he was imprisoned in a lunatic asylum for a long time, his ruthlessness and determination will not be worn away so easily. As long as there is a slight chance, this shark will bite him to death.

.

Su Xiao brought this shark here, not planning to let him become a navigator from the beginning, but now, this shark can fill this position very well, and with this navigator around, there will be no dangers along the way.

Bubuwang appeared quietly and let out a low cry, which meant that the pirate it was following suddenly disappeared. It was not like he was teleported away, but his breath and all disappeared suddenly.

Su Xiao already understood what was going on. It seemed like he had just arrived at Skull Island. In fact, the enemy's methods had already struck. In the next room, the angry shark in his sleep was most likely in a nightmare.

, and took refuge in a powerful existence.

As for who that powerful being is, you know without even thinking about it, it must be the King of Nightmares.

Because of this, Su Xiao is sure that the journey to Nightmare Island must be extremely smooth. What is certain now is that although the King of Nightmares is powerful, he cannot control the sea beasts in the dark sea. Otherwise, a large group of sea beasts will have attacked.

.

In other words, if the King of Nightmares could control all the sea beasts here, these sea beasts would be equal to the power controlled by the King of Nightmares, and he would not allow the beast hunting group to exist.

After eliminating the worst situation first, the next step will be much easier to handle. As for the angry shark being instigated by the King of Nightmares in the nightmare, this is what Su Xiao wants to see. To be precise, he brought the angry shark here

This is to deliberately let the enemy instigate rebellion against the pirate.

You don’t even have to think about it to know that Angry Shark, who was once one of the kings of the four seas, must have some connection with the King of Nightmares. Skull Island is located on the edge of the dark sea. As one of the former pirate kings here, Angry Shark must be related to him whether he is willing or not.

The King of Nightmares is more or less related.

Now that Su Xiao has entered the dark sea, he is basically sure that the Nightmare King on Nightmare Island has noticed his arrival. This is determined by the prompts from the Reincarnation Paradise. Among the prompts just now, there is this one:

[Tip: You have entered the dark sea area, and this area is occupied by the King of Nightmares (the Informer). 】

Based on this hint, Su Xiao roughly guessed the extent of the Nightmare King's control over this sea area, but this was only a preliminary guess. What really made him sure that the Nightmare King knew that he was here was because of the metal ring just now.

Because these metal rings come from the nightmare area, once there is the breath of nightmare or the ability of nightmare characteristics in the surrounding area, these metal rings, like metal attracted by magnets, will react, such as floating in the direction from which the nightmare invaded.

, and emit purple shimmer, etc.

Based on this, Su Xiao determined that the nightmare was quietly invading the room next door, and Eminem and Angry Shark lived in the room next door.

Among the two, who will be instigated by the King of Nightmares to rebel? There is no need to think about it, or in other words, the King of Nightmares will not drag Eminem into the realm of nightmares to avoid exposing this matter.

Angry Shark originally had something to do with the King of Nightmares, and given Angry Shark's current situation, this was the target that the King of Nightmares wanted to find.

Why did Su Xiao let all this go? The reason was that he wanted to pass through the dark sea and reach Nightmare Island as soon as possible.

As one of the traitors, the King of Nightmares must have been shocked and angry at first when he realized that the exterminator was here, and then he looked at and tested him. After learning that this exterminator has not fully grown up, and there is still a gap between the exterminator and the previous generations of exterminators.

, I would like to ask, should the King of Nightmares find a way to lead this extinguishing method to Nightmare Island, and use his strength on Nightmare Island to kill this extinguishing method, or should he let this extinguishing method temporarily retreat due to the dangers of the dark sea, and wait until his strength is fully restored?

After growing up, will you go to Nightmare Island?

The King of Nightmares will definitely choose the former, which leads to a wonderful scene. The King of Nightmares hopes that Su Xiao will arrive at Nightmare Island as soon as possible than Su Xiao himself.

Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that the King of Nightmares chooses to instigate Angry Shark to rebel. He lets Angry Shark act as a navigator and use a bone boat to carry Su Xiao and others to Nightmare Island and get rid of them all.

Meditation made time pass quickly. At about three o'clock in the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door. It was Dre. Through the middleman introduced by the old dean, he finally found a three-mast bone ship. The other party offered 4,600 pirate gold coins, and

No bargaining.

"Buy it and leave in half an hour."

"clear."

Dre and Silverface left with their travel bags filled with pirate gold coins. If nothing else happened, the transaction could be completed in half an hour at most. Buying a boat on Skull Island is very simple, just give them money.

Su Xiao took Bubuwang out of the guest room and into the next room. He found that there was no aftertaste of the nightmare left here. It seemed that the King of Nightmares was very cautious.

"Angry Shark, get ready to go to sea."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Nu Sha, who had just woken up, looked a little sulky. He could only say that this guy's acting skills were very good. If he acted too submissively at this time, it would easily arouse suspicion. After all, he was a pirate.

"Dean Bai Ye, it's three o'clock in the middle of the night, are you planning to set sail to the dark sea at this time? If so, you'd better send me back to the lunatic asylum, I don't want to die yet."

Angry Shark picked up the bottle of water and drank it hard.

"You wait here, someone will take you back in 10 minutes."

After leaving these words, Su Xiao walked out of the room. He was making final decisions. He would not put everything on the line just because of his own inferences. Compared with inferences, the enemy's actions that cannot be concealed are the most important measure.
To be continued...
