People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 55

Another long month.

Such is life at sea, where adventure and wealth occupy only a small part, and most of the time, it is an endless sea level, without any ships or islands in sight.

The fleet replenished supplies at Tetuga, and there was no shortage of food and drink on board, but most people had already experienced nearly three months of sea life, and even those who loved the sea couldn't bear it anymore.

Under the guidance of the compass, the fleet has never even approached any island, let alone those islands with ports, even uninhabited desert islands, let alone merchant ships and pirates.

Merchant ships all have a fixed route, which was explored by countless navigators and caravans in the early days of the great navigation era. Few ships would deviate from the route. ?
Standing on the deck, Tang Sen practiced the rapier following Tom. Although it was still a show, it already looked decent.

It wasn't that Tang Sen decided to take the lead in the charge, it was purely to pass the time.

The planning has reached the final stage, and the things to think about are no longer so onerous. Tang Sen has a lot of free time, and even the sense of urgency of death is relaxed in the long and dull days.

"There is an island!"

There was an excited voice from above, and the sailors on the gazebo waved their arms wildly towards the deck, "Straight ahead!"

Tang Sen immediately came to the bow of the ship and looked forward.

I saw a small black spot above the blue sea horizon.

"Great!"

Tang Sen was also a little excited, not only because he hadn't seen land for a long time, but also because the island was right in front of him.

"Speed ​​up! Get ready to land on the island!"

He shouted loudly.

In fact, he didn't need to remind, the impatient sailors were already busy with excitement, heading towards the island with full sail, the wind was just right, and the fleet arrived near the island not long after.

"Is it here?" Tang Sen was already standing by the rudder, looking at the compass in his hand with William.

"If this island wasn't right in the middle of our target, then it would be here." William was naturally excited.

"Change the boat!" Tang Sen waved his hand: "Notice, all members of the Undead Legion will land on the island!"

Although in the original book, David Jones didn't have any protective measures on this island, but at this critical point, Townsend didn't want to gamble.

The members of the Undead Legion are mainly distributed on two warships and several pirate ships. Of course, the members of the Undead Legion on the Intrepid are all from Port Royal. Townsend will not let any unstable factors stay with him, even those After a month, the pirates had already recognized their fate.

As Tang Sen said before, when they found themselves powerless to overthrow Tang Sen's position, and any offense would bring incomparable torture, their madness would be aimed at Tang Sen's enemies.

Small boats went into the sea one after another, and dense figures rowed towards the island.

Tang Sen could see the white sandy beach on the coastline of the island in the distance, and behind the sandy beach was a dense jungle.

The vanguard formed by the pirates first landed on the island and spread out, and then Tang Sen came down from the small boat.

William kept staring at the pointer of the compass, following the direction and searching on the beach.

Until he came to a sandy place that was indistinguishable from other places, he stopped on the spot, frowning.

"Mr. Tang, this pointer seems to be broken."

He motioned Tang Sen to come over and take a look: "The needle keeps spinning around."

"Did we find the wrong place?"

Tang Sen glanced at it, and the pointer of the compass was spinning at a constant speed.

"No, it's not broken."

He smiled: "We found it, Mr. Turner."

"You're standing on top of it."

Tom reacted very quickly, and immediately led several soldiers to dig. The sand was soft, and a large hole was quickly dug.

"We found something, Mr. Tang!"

Without Tom's reminder, Tang Sen had already seen the box buried in the sand. It was a one-foot-high wooden box. It could be seen that even though it was buried underground, it had already been corroded.

His heart beat half a beat faster, and he couldn't help saying, "Bring it up, Tom."

"Of course, Mr. Tang." Tom carefully carried the box out of the pit and placed it in front of Tang Sen.

The chest was locked with a huge lock, but the lock was rusted and corroded, and Tom gave it a hard blow with the handle of his knife, and the lock fell away.

"Open it." Tang Sen didn't intend to do it himself.

"Aye." The two soldiers stepped forward vigorously and gently lifted the lid of the box.

Nothing unusual happened, and what caught everyone's eyes were some messy letters and a few bunches of dried flowers.

"What kind of nonsense is this?" muttered Tom.

"David Jones' letter or love letter to Cory Busso." Tang Sen glanced at him and said, "If you are interested in the goddess' love life, you can take it out and have a look."

"That's still not enough." Tom shrank his head.

Tang Sen stepped forward and pushed aside the letters, revealing the black iron box buried under the letters.

"Undead Chest—"

Tang Sen sighed softly, "I finally found it."

"This is the box containing Davy Jones' heart?" William had a strange look on his face.

"Come closer and listen, Mr. Turner." Townsend reminded.

Upon hearing this, William put his head on the box, then his pupils shrank, and he took a step back.

"Have you heard the heartbeat of the Hades of the Deep Sea?" Tang Sen had already got the answer from his reaction. He solemnly picked up the box and closed his eyes.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Sure enough, there is no such simple thing."

It's not that he didn't imagine that maybe when he got the undead box, he could complete the procurement task. Now it seems that this possibility can be discarded.

Unless I can open this box without a key, I will never get the heart inside, and naturally I can't call it a heart.

Fortunately, Townsend never took any chances and was ready to face Davy Jones.

"Bury these letters again." Tang Sen ordered: "We can return to the Intrepid."

"Next, shall we go directly to the Crolby Sea?" William asked.

Townsend looked at him suspiciously: "Mr. Turner, why are we going to the Crolby Sea?"

"In less than two months, won't Davy Jones appear there? Could it be that the witch's prophecy is inaccurate?"

"No, I believe in Miss Doma's prophecy." Tang Sen spread his hands and said, "At that time and place, Davy Jones will definitely appear."

"Then shouldn't we seize this opportunity?" William also looked puzzled.

"If Miss Torma wants to see me, she is also willing to seize this opportunity." Townsend turned around and walked towards the sea, "This prophecy is not for us, Mr. Turner."

"But for a goddess in a rage."

"As for us—"

He paused and said with a smile, "Mr. Turner, don't forget the compass in your hand."

"Tell me, is your father what you most want to see now?"
