"Is there something on the belly?"
Wayne walked to the fence and looked up. The belly of the bullhead fish was big and white. At first glance, there was nothing special.
However, when Wayne looked in the direction pointed by the pirate, he saw a bulge on the white belly of the bullhead fish.
It seemed to be a box as tall as a person, and it was exactly the same shape as the treasure chests we usually see.
"Why would a treasure chest appear on the belly of the fish?"
Wayne was very confused.
When the pirates saw this treasure chest, their eyes lit up instantly and they began to fantasize.
"It must be a box full of gold coins!" said the greedy pirate.
"No, no, it must be a collection of fine wine!"
"Such a big box should be a sleeping princess, waiting for the prince's kiss to wake her up during the long drift."
Huh? Princess?
Wayne looked at the pirate who said this with a strange expression. This guy must have read too many storybooks.
"Pull the boat closer, be careful."
"Yes, Brother Wayne."
As the "Quinn" gradually approached the bullfish, the appearance of the treasure chest became clearer. The surface of the box was even inlaid with small gems, shining in the sun.
"Is it really a treasure?"
Wayne's heart also surged with a hint of expectation.
If such a large box was filled with Baileys or gold coins, it would probably be enough for the people on the ship to spend several years.
However, the box was stuck in the gap of the bullfish's belly, and the position was not biased, and there were deep red scratches on the edge.
Wayne suddenly realized that it was no wonder that this sea king would attack the pirate ship with its belly so violently. It seemed to be in great pain.
It wanted to use the friction with the pirate ship to rub the box off.
Trample, tramp...
A few brave pirates jumped onto the belly of the bullfish and used a sharp dagger to slowly cut the treasure chest where it was stuck in the belly, trying not to hurt its flesh and blood.
It was not that they felt sorry for the bullfish, but they were afraid that this big monster would wake up again, which would be terrible.
Soon, the treasure chest was "deducted" by the pirates.
The things inside seemed very heavy, and several pirates worked together to move them onto the ship.
"Brother Wayne, there must be good stuff in it!"
"Dong!"
The treasure chest was moved to the deck, and the pirates surrounded it in an instant, staring at it excitedly.
This feeling of treasure hunting is really exciting!
But at this moment, with a "splash", the bullfish suddenly moved and turned over in the sea.
The two big eyes were no longer violent, but looked at the pirates on the ship with a little cuteness.
"This guy...has been playing dead?"
"Moo~Moo~"
The bullfish made a sound, but this time it sounded grateful, as if thanking the pirates for getting the box stuck on its belly off.
After doing this, the bullfish turned around and swam away at a very fast speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this scene, Davego said excitedly after thinking about something in his mind,
"Hahaha, Brother Wayne must have seen the treasure chest a long time ago, so he only electrocuted the fish! He didn't kill the fish directly because he was afraid of damaging the treasure chest. Yes, that must be the case. Brother Wayne is so great!"
Davego's face was full of admiration.
The other pirates also nodded in agreement, looking at Wayne with excitement and admiration in their eyes.
Wayne pulled the corner of his mouth, these pirates' brain circuits are really strange...
Next, it's this treasure chest.
Wayne is also very curious, what will be inside?
"Brother Wayne, there is a lock on it."
There is an iron lock hanging on the treasure chest, which is a little rusty, but overall it is still quite new. It seems that this treasure chest should have been thrown into the sea not long ago.
"Get out of the way! Let me do it!"
Jack shouted excitedly, holding the sharp sickle in his hand, and chopped down at the treasure chest.
"Clang!" With a sound, Wayne's arm was covered with dark armed color domineering, blocking Jack's sickle.
Wayne's forehead was covered with dark clouds, and he gritted his teeth and spit out a sentence, "What if you chop the things inside with this posture!"
Hearing this, Jack laughed embarrassedly a few times.
"Yes, Brother Wayne is right."
Wayne sighed and didn't argue with the fool.
Then, Wayne did not use the knife. With a "swoosh" sound, purple flames appeared out of thin air on his hand.
He stretched out his hand, and the purple flames suddenly burned as soon as they touched the iron lock.
And Wayne's control of the purple flames was extremely delicate, and the treasure chest itself was not burned at all.Soon, the iron lock melted and turned into a pool of hot iron water flowing onto the deck, burning a small pit on the wooden deck.
The pirates didn't care about it at all. They watched Wayne open the treasure chest with full concentration.
At the moment the treasure chest was opened, a dazzling golden light flashed, almost blinding everyone's eyes.
"It's gold coins! It must be gold coins!"
Before everyone could cheer, the light suddenly faded away in the next second.
When they looked again, it was empty inside, just like their wallets.
"What! Empty!?" Suddenly, a pirate shouted.
"No, look inside the box."
Everyone looked out again and found the only item, a parchment scroll lying quietly at the bottom of the box.
"Is it... a treasure map?"
Everyone had some expectations in their hearts.
After getting Wayne's eye approval, Davego nervously took out the parchment scroll that exuded an ancient atmosphere.
After slowly opening it, Davego glanced at the crooked words on it, his pupils shrank instantly, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and even his body was shaking slightly.
"Hmm? Davego, what's written on it?" Jack asked hurriedly when he saw his excitement.
Wayne's expression also moved slightly, and he looked at Davego.
Under the curious eyes of everyone, Davego said lightly,
"I forgot one thing, I... I can't read."
Wayne: "..."
Jack: "..."
Everyone: "..."
You can't read, what are you doing here!
But what Wayne didn't know was that there were so many illiterate people like Davego in the Beast Pirates.
Davego could at least write his own name, which was already considered a pirate with the highest level of education.
Wayne snatched the parchment scroll and looked at the content on it.
Fortunately, it was the common language in the pirate world. If it was the ancient language in the historical text, or the language of a certain race, Wayne would not be able to understand it.
After spreading the parchment scroll and placing it on the deck, Wayne quickly understood what was written on it.
