Chapter 576

Jiang Yuan originally wanted to ask the three of them to make the raft overnight, but after seeing how tired the three of them were and couldn't stand upright, Jiang Yuan gave up the idea.

Early the next morning, before Teacher Cang and the others woke up, Jiang Yuan had already taken action.

Today's plan is to explore the other half of the island. If everything goes well, we can leave immediately after the exploration is completed.

Unlike yesterday, Jiang Yuan soon discovered traces of someone's activity halfway up the mountain.

For example, in the grotto where Jiang Yuan is now, there is charcoal that has decayed into ashes on the ground, and there are also traces of scorch on the ground.

Next to it, Jiang Yuan also found some iron pots and kettles that had been rusty for a long time.

Judging from the style of these things, they are indeed old items used in navigation hundreds of years ago.

Jiang Yuan also laughed. From this point of view, this place may really store pirate treasures.

There are hundreds of stone crevices around this grotto. They are wide enough for a person to slip in, but narrow enough that even a finger cannot fit in.

Jiang Yuan's eyes passed through the stone wall and understood the direction of these passages. One of the gaps caught Jiang Yuan's attention.

This gap is only as wide as a finger, but after extending a few meters into the stone wall, it turns into a passage more than two meters high and one meter wide.

And Jiang Yuan noticed that there were traces of gunpowder explosions inside the stone wall.

It can be seen that there was originally a large passage here, but it was artificially detonated with gunpowder and blocked the entrance.

Jiang Yuan started to look forward to it, and his eyes followed the passage for two hundred meters. The next moment, he saw a dazzling golden light.

It was a dark cave underground without any light, covering an area of ​​at least 500 square meters.

In Jiang Yuan's sight, the entire grotto was ablaze with gold.

The gold coins were piled up together, like a hill more than ten meters high, and various gems were scattered among them, making Jiang Yuan's eyes wide open.

Jiang Yuan even saw a diamond as big as a pigeon egg!

There are also some exquisite wine bottles, plates, jewelry, and ornaments, all of which are made of pure gold without exception.

In addition, there are also some works of art that are older.

Jiang Yuan estimated that once these things come out, they will definitely cause a huge sensation.

Jiang Yuan is also basically certain that this is the treasure house of a powerful pirate group hundreds of years ago.

Only pirates who are familiar with the sea environment have a chance to find this island.

Suddenly, Jiang Yuan's eyes entered the grotto through the hundred-meter passage, and then passed through the mountain of gold coins.

In the middle of the pile of gold coins was a golden axe. The ax handle was more than one meter long and as thick as a woman's forearm. It was engraved with exquisite patterns and inlaid with hundreds of gems of different colors.

Jiang Yuan was suddenly stunned.

Among the many legends of pirate treasures, the legend of the golden battle ax is undoubtedly the most eye-catching.

Legend has it that in the Sea of ​​Death five hundred years ago, there was a powerful and invincible pirate group.

Their pirate ships are more powerful than the warships of some countries and are covered with iron armor. Their pirates wear armor and are quite powerful in combat.

The weapon used by the leader of the pirate group was a golden ax inlaid with hundreds of exquisite and priceless gems.

Legend has it that if you find the golden battle ax, you will find all the treasures left by this pirate group.

Many people believe that the legendary Sea of ​​Death should be near the Mediterranean Sea, and countless explorers have tried to find that place.

And the Xiusi Sect didn't know how they got the news, knowing that there might be treasures left by pirates on this island.

But they definitely don't know that this is the legendary treasure of the Golden Battle Ax.

Jiang Yuan was also very grateful for the astrological divination he learned in the ancient city of Jingjue. If he hadn't expected that this expedition would be fruitful, Jiang Yuan might have simply refused when his teacher Cang suggested continuing to search for treasures.

Jiang Yuan felt happy.

It’s not that these things are worth much, but that their collection is of great significance.

The legendary treasure, the treasure that countless explorers want to find, is now about to enter the treasure house in Jiangyuan.

And those milky white stones underground on the other side of the island!

It must be moved to its own treasure room... No, it is most suitable to transport it to the ruins of the Xuanji Sect.

It's just that it's difficult to mine these milky white stones, and it's not a trivial matter to transport these mountains of treasures out.

Jiang Yuan roughly estimated that it would take at least a small cargo ship to transport those stones and the treasures.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan immediately decided to go back

After that, he immediately purchased a small cargo ship and personally brought people here to direct the excavation.

After remembering the longitude and latitude of this place, Jiang Yuan wanted to leave first and start the return journey while it was still early.

But Jiang Yuan found a scepter about one meter long and made of pure gold in the pair of gold coins.

The scepter exuded the breath of time and exuded a rich golden light.

There is no doubt that this is an ancient artifact with a long history.

Jiang Yuan was very sure that it was a scepter as old as the pyramids that once belonged to the pharaoh of the ancient Egyptian kingdom and symbolized supreme power.

Such a treasure is not inferior to the golden battle axe, and is even more precious to a certain extent.

Jiang Yuan withdrew his gaze and did not dare to look again. If he saw any rare treasures again, he would probably be reluctant to leave here. He would rather wait for a while and transport the things here before taking a good look at them.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan turned around and left the cave. An hour later, Jiang Yuan returned to the beach.

At this time, a raft ten meters long and more than five meters wide has been prepared. It is made of wood thicker than a thigh. The ropes used for connection are also twisted out of bark and are very strong.

Jiang Yuan walked over, reached out and grabbed a corner, lifted it up and shook it, making sure it was firm before nodding.

Seeing Jiang Yuan lifting such a big raft so easily, Teacher Cang and the others were all shocked, but they didn't dare to ask any more questions.

It's just that Jiang Yuan's mystery in their hearts has become a little stronger.

After a while, the raft was pushed to the surface.

Jiang Yuan said in a deep voice: "When I came here, there was a yacht, but in the end I swam in the sea for only twenty or thirty nautical miles."

"The way back is long. If we don't meet other ships, we can only take this raft all the way to the nearest port."

Smoker nodded and said, "The nearest port is six to seven hundred nautical miles away."

Jiang Yuan glanced at the three of them and said, "Let's go."

The three of them followed Jiang Yuan and jumped onto the raft and started paddling with handmade oars.

It's just that the speed is quite slow.

Until nightfall, we had only rowed a few nautical miles.

Seeing the three people lying tiredly on the raft, Jiang Yuan said expressionlessly: "If you want to spend your whole life drifting on the sea, then just lie down."

After hearing Jiang Yuan's words, the three of them quickly sat up, gritted their teeth, moved their arms that could hardly be lifted, and rowed the oars again.

When most of the night passed, the three of them had no strength left and fell asleep while paddling.

Jiang Yuan didn't say anything, knowing that the three of them had reached their limit.

Then Jiang Yuan took an oar and started rowing, and the speed of the raft suddenly increased.

It's just that the waves in this area are very strong and the resistance is even greater.

When the three of them woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

The three of them sat up and saw Jiang Yuan rowing a boat. The surrounding sea was calm, the sky in the distance was golden, and the sun was setting in the sea.

Jiang Yuan threw the oar to the three of them, "Why are you standing there in a daze? Keep paddling."

As he said that, Jiang Yuan pointed to a few fish on the raft, "They were just caught and are still fresh. It's okay to eat them raw."

The three of them were already so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, so they took the sea fish and started gobbling it up.

Days like this lasted for half a month.

On this day, the smoker who was rowing the boat turned around feebly, extremely weak but extremely excited and said: "A boat, a big boat!"

In just half a month, the smoker, the driver and the teacher Cang lost dozens of kilograms, and they were all reduced to skin and bones. Only Jiang Yuan seemed to have gained an extra two ounces of flesh on his already thin face, and his skin was even thinner.

It is fair, rosy and shiny.

The three of them stopped weakly and took a closer look. Sure enough, a few hundred meters ahead, a large cargo ship filled with containers was heading this way.

Jiang Yuan's eyes sharpened, he glanced around, and immediately discovered the freighter.

The freighter contained tens of thousands of containers and had a total of more than thirty crew members. They also discovered the raft of four people from Jiang Yuan. Several people were on the deck, looking this way with telescopes.

After a while, the freighter came to a place ten meters away from the raft.

A bearded man with red hair lay on the edge of the deck and shouted to Jiang Yuan and the other four: "Do you need help?"

The smoker suddenly said angrily: "Otherwise, do you think we came to the sea to travel on purpose?"

"Take us for a ride, and you will be duly rewarded."

The bearded and red-haired captain was silent for a moment, then winked at his deputy, who ran into the cockpit and actually wanted to speed away.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuan frowned immediately.

Just listen to the bearded captain shouting: "Then you can continue to drift on the sea."

Hearing this, teacher Cang Hesi

Ji and the smoker both looked ugly.

Jiang Yuan slowly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Friend, if you lend a helping hand, I think I can help you solve some problems."

The bearded captain said with an interested look on his face: "Mr. Dongfang, what problem can you help me solve?"

Jiang Yuan pointed to the part of the freighter hidden below the sea surface, "If what I said is correct, the propeller at the rear of your freighter is stuck, so you can't turn it."

The bearded captain looked surprised and subconsciously asked, "How do you know?"

Of course I saw it, Jiang Yuan's lips curved up.

"If I guess correctly, this is not your original sailing route at all. You ended up here just because the freighter couldn't turn."

"It's just that if you continue to go straight, you will eventually hit an island. You can imagine the consequences yourself."

The bearded man suddenly frowned, "You are right, one of the propellers of my ship is stuck, but if you say you can help me solve this problem, I will not believe it anyway. You have me

Do you know anything about ships? If it could be solved, I would have solved it long ago."

"I have to go to a specialized repair port for repairs."

Jiang Yuan shook his head, "If I say I can, I will definitely do it."

"You now have someone turn off the power system of this freighter. Within half an hour, I will definitely solve your problem."

The bearded captain thought for a moment and nodded to the person next to him.

After a few minutes, all the freighter's engines stopped.

Jiang Yuan did not hesitate, jumped directly into the sea, and swam towards the bottom of the freighter.

When you swim under the freighter, you feel as if you are being pressed down by a huge mountain.

Anyone else would have been frightened by this strong sense of oppression, but Jiang Yuan calmly swam to the propeller at the stern of the ship.

This huge propeller was more than ten meters in diameter and had completely stopped at this time.

The paddle was extremely sharp, but at this moment it was entangled with an arm-thick iron chain.

This is an anchor chain more than ten meters long. It should be that the freighter sailed somewhere and happened to scrape this anchor chain.

Such a chance is simply lower than pie in the sky. It can only be said that they are really unlucky.

Jiang Yuan stretched out his hand to grab the anchor chain and pulled hard, causing the huge paddle to rotate.

This oar is so heavy that ordinary people will never be able to turn it. Even ordinary extraordinary people probably don't have the strength to do so.

Even Jiang Yuan had to concentrate the energy in his body on his arms. Jiang Yuan was sure that if he hadn't drank that mysterious liquid on that island and his strength had been greatly improved, then he would definitely not have it now.

How to pull the anchor chain.

After all, the anchor chain was stuck too tightly to the oars.

As Jiang Yuan moved, the anchor chain was stretched longer and longer, and only the last two meters were still stuck on the propeller.

Jiang Yuan took a closer look and found that a gap had been stuck in a blade of the propeller, and the end of the anchor chain was stuck there.

Jiang Yuan frowned, swam forward a little more, reached out to grab the paddle, and pushed the anchor chain hard out of the gap.

Finally, the anchor chain was completely pushed away and fell straight towards the bottom of the sea.

Just when Jiang Yuan was about to float to the surface, the propeller that had stopped suddenly made a clicking sound and started to rotate again.

A suction force appeared instantly, and the seawater was stirred into a whirlpool. A huge force pulled Jiang Yuan towards the propeller that was turning faster and faster.

Jiang Yuan's face turned cold and he swam hard towards the sea.

But the suction force didn't seem to allow anyone to escape, making it difficult for Jiang Yuan to break free.

At the critical moment, Jiang Yuan suddenly stretched out his hands, gathered all the spiritual energy in his body, and used the Red Flame Technique.

A stream of hot air passed through the sea water and hit the rotating propeller.

Visible to the naked eye, tiny cracks appeared on the propeller, and it paused for a moment.

Taking advantage of this moment, Jiang Yuan suddenly emerged from the sea and climbed onto the raft.

Seeing Jiang Yuan's cold expression and his eyes as if he wanted to eat someone, the three smokers didn't know what was going on.

Jiang Yuan looked up at the bearded captain on the deck of the freighter, "An anchor chain is stuck on the propeller and has been torn off."

The bearded captain naturally knew that an anchor chain was stuck on the propeller. He even led people down personally to try to tear off the anchor chain, but he couldn't do it at all.

Now seeing Jiang Yuan actually tearing off the anchor chain alone, the bearded captain was full of surprise, "Okay, I'll have someone lower the ladder right now."

A few minutes later, Jiang Yuan and four others climbed onto the deck.

Just when the bearded captain was about to introduce Jiang Yuan and the others with a smile, Jiang Yuan suddenly asked with a cold face: "Who started the engine just now?"
