Chapter 248 Found it

Storm Sea, the territory of the crocodile people, in a cave on a bare island.

The air in this island cave is humid, the light is dark, and the conditions are quite harsh no matter how you look at it, but it is the base camp of the crocodile people living here and the place where their clan leader lives.

The leader of the crocodile-men clan is a powerful old crocodile-man. He is also the main bloodline source of this group and enjoys a very high status among this group of crocodile-men.

"Clan leader! You are really old!"

At this time, Gu Gucha entered the cave and saw the old patriarch whom he had not seen for many years, and couldn't help but sigh.

He saw a huge old crocodile man lying on a stone slab in front of him, but this old crocodile man completely lost the power and majesty he remembered, and most of the scales on his aging face had faded away. The color began to turn white, and the body looked very weak. Even lying there and doing nothing would occasionally make a sound of labored breathing.

"Gugucha...you are back."

Hearing the blunt greeting from the giant crocodile man in front of him, the old crocodile man lying on the stone floor opened his eyes, revealing his already somewhat cloudy eyes.

"It's me! Back then you forbade me from leaving my tribe, saying that without the protection of my tribe, I would surely die at the hands of those cunning humans. But you were wrong! I proved that I can live a good life!"

There was not much respect for the old patriarch in Gu Gucha's words, and there was even a lot of resentment.

"Cough...cough...yes...Gugucha, you win."

After listening to the somewhat excited Gu Gucha in front of him, the old crocodile man didn't show much expression on his old face. He just coughed twice and admitted his mistakes back then.

"You're looking for me...there must be something wrong."

He then closed his eyes a little tiredly and replied slowly.

Gugucha couldn't help but look a little sad after hearing this. He came back this time to prove that he was right and to feel proud in front of this tough patriarch. But he didn't expect that the other party had already aged so much, so simply and casually. He admitted his mistakes back then and no longer had the tough look in his memory.

"My human partner wants to cooperate with the tribe. He offers golden orchid coins, and we help him find an island called Forbidden Fruit Island in the Sea of ​​Storms."

Gu Gucha then started to talk about the business. This matter has already won the support of some tribesmen through Wang Zhifan's efforts. If he wants to get another part, he can get the help of the old crocodile man in front of him.

"Ahem...Gugucha...you know...I don't like...ahem...cooperating with humans..."

As expected, the old crocodile man rejected him, his tone was weak, but his meaning was quite firm.

"Haha...Old patriarch, you are still like this and don't know how to adapt."

A somewhat mocking smile appeared on Gu Gucha's face.

"Stop holding on to your old-fashioned ideas! Admit it! Human beings are the masters of this world! If we don't cooperate with them and learn from them, we are destined to die!"

He opened his mouth to refute the old crocodile man in front of him, his tone was already quite disrespectful.

But the old and weak crocodile man didn't seem to care much. After hearing this, he was silent for a few seconds before slowly speaking:

"Gugucha... you are too young... you have not experienced many things... so you have such naive ideas... everything I have done... is for our crocodile family... I will not promise anyone else Contact between tribesmen and humans..."

Upon hearing this categorical rejection, Gu Gucha's eyes suddenly flashed with a look that was indeed true, but he did not panic and continued to mock back:

"Old clan leader, you are too old! Things in the clan are not all up to you like before! I will convince other clan members that they will definitely choose my path after seeing the benefits!"

After saying that, he turned around and left decisively, not intending to continue to tangle with this aging and rigid clan leader. Because of his current state, his influence on the clan had dropped too much, so he didn't need to care too much about his thoughts.

However, Gu Gucha still underestimated the will of the old patriarch. When he had just turned around and not taken two steps, the old crocodile man's tired but still articulate voice came from behind him:

"Stop... Gu Gucha... I know... where to find... Forbidden Fruit Island... please let go... my people..."

Hearing this, Gu Gucha immediately turned back in surprise.

Some time later, in the captain's cabin of the dogfish.

"Did your clan leader tell you the location of Forbidden Fruit Island? Has he been to that place?"

At this moment, Wang Zhifan was a little surprised by the news brought by Gu Gucha. He originally thought of relying on the crocodile people's advantage as a marine race to help him find the island, but he didn't know that the other party directly knew the information he needed.

"The patriarch didn't say much, he just told me how to get there."

Gu Gucha shook his head at Wang Zhifan and did not elaborate because the other party was too old and did not have the extra energy to discuss in detail.

"Is this information reliable? Your clan leader isn't the type who likes to brag, is he?"

Wang Zhifan was still a little hesitant to reach this point, because based on his investigation during this period, he knew that the location of Forbidden Fruit Island was indeed very hidden. It can be said that very few people in the world have actually been there.

"I'm not entirely sure...but it should be reliable. My gut tells me he's not lying."

Gu Gucha thought for a moment before replying.

"OK then……"

Wang Zhifan felt that this crocodile man companion had always been relatively reliable, so he chose to believe it. He thought for a while and said: "I will first give your tribe a thousand gold orchid coins as a deposit and ask them to help me find and collect information about Forbidden Fruit Island. At the same time, you take us to that place, and if we don’t find it, come back and continue to mobilize your tribe to help.”

He planned to make preparations with both hands and not put all his hopes aside.

"Okay... one thousand gold orchid coins is enough to buy a large amount of supplies from the nearest seaport, and they will agree to help."

There was another reason Gu Gucha didn't mention, and that was that Wang Zhifan had defeated a large number of tribesmen in previous duel challenges, convincing them that they were willing to cooperate with him.

"In this case, let's set off as soon as possible! I'm already tired of being bothered by this island."

After discussing this, Wang Zhifan stopped thinking about it. The current dungeon was already the longest one he had ever spent. The constant consumption of patience made him not want to miss any opportunity to complete this dungeon.

In this way, what happened after that was simple and clear. Wang Zhifan and Gu Gucha paid a visit to the Crocodile Man. Under the leadership of Gu Gucha, the two parties reached a preliminary cooperation. Then they returned to the Dogfish and set off that day. Go to the location provided by the crocodile leader.

According to Gu Gucha, that place is quite far away from the territory of the crocodile people. It is a central area of ​​the Storm Sea. Even if a sea ship sails at the highest speed, it will take more than half a month, and the wind and waves are bigger there, so the sea ship Navigation would be more dangerous.

However, none of this can hinder Wang Zhifan's will to go. He even feels more and more reliable because this location is in the middle of the Sea of ​​Storms, because according to his long-term investigation, Forbidden Fruit Island basically appears in that kind of place. If not The Sea of ​​Storms was huge, and the so-called central zone was also huge. He had already let the Dogfish plunge into it.

In this way, Wang Zhifan and others spent nearly a month in the boring stormy sea. In fact, during this period, they occasionally encountered some troubles outside the wind and waves, such as encountering sea monsters that came out to act. However, Wang Zhifan's ice source power was extremely restrained by these guys and easily dispatched them, so this problem did not have any impact on their voyage.

When the time came one month later, Gu Gucha and the navigators determined the precise location based on the iconic islands in this area, and they finally arrived at the location provided by the crocodile tribe leader.

"There's nothing here!"

"We've been busy for a month in vain!"

In the huge wind and waves, both brothers Chen Ming ran excitedly from the cabin to the deck, because they were also tortured by this lengthy copy and wanted to end it quickly, but the result did not seem so good.

"I'm sure the patriarch was talking about this sea area...Did he lie deliberately to get us to leave?"

Seeing the stormy waves without any islands, the giant crocodile man Gu Gucha was a little unable to hold back at this time. He chose to trust his intuition a month ago, but he ended up being slapped in the face like this.

But it was quite different from the disappointed expressions of others. Wang Zhifan was standing on the side of the ship with his eyes very focused in the huge sea wind. He stared at a sea surface in front of him that didn't seem to have any abnormalities. He suddenly turned his head and asked the sailors to The Dogfish drove past.

The sailors are different from players like them. They work with money and have little obsession with finding the Forbidden Fruit Island. Therefore, they have no real sense of the current setbacks. After hearing Wang Zhifan's instructions, they immediately went to work.

After a short period of time, under the skillful control of the sailors, the Great Dogfish finally arrived at the target sea area with shaking and bumping. There still seemed to be nothing here, except for the sea water that was constantly charging back and forth in the sea breeze.

"My perception just now is indeed correct... There is a very special mysterious atmosphere left in this place... Although it is very weak, this kind of power has never appeared in other sea areas... It is probably left by the Poseidon messenger..."

After the Dogfish arrived at the target area, Wang Zhifan fully released his senses, and then quickly determined that what he just discovered was not an illusion. There might really be a Forbidden Fruit Island in this sea area. After all, he already knew that the Forbidden Fruit Island could move. , and there are Poseidon messengers guarding it. It is normal for the other party to leave some traces here.

"The breath extends all the way over there...you are sailing in that direction now!"

He then gave orders to the sailors again, asking the Dogfish to track in the direction determined by his extraordinary perception.

This process will not end in a short time. Wang Zhifan constantly senses the flow direction of the mysterious aura and guides the direction of the ship under his feet for several days. The sailors work in shifts and he does not even take a break for an hour because He has discovered that the mysterious aura he senses becomes clearer as the ship sails, that is, they are gradually approaching the location of the tracking target!

Finally, a few days later, when many crew members were privately discussing that Wang Zhifan had been guiding the sailing direction indiscriminately these days, people on the deck of the Dogfish suddenly saw a beautiful building appear on the sea in front of them. Magical island!

It is an island that is not very large, but it is completely different from other rocky islands in the center of the storm sea. That is, it is very beautiful. The surface of the island is covered with green trees and is dotted with many flowers and flowers. You can even see many brightly colored birds flying around among the fragrant grass, which is a completely different world from the surrounding stormy sea!

"Found it! This is definitely the Forbidden Fruit Island!"

Wang Zhifan was the first to rush to the side of the ship after sensing the island in front of him. He did not need any other evidence to be extremely certain that the beautiful island in front of him was the Forbidden Fruit Island that he had been looking for for more than two months, because not only did the other party's The appearance matched the information he collected, and he also sensed a certain existence hidden under the sea that cannot be ignored!

"Messenger of Poseidon? Let me talk to you for a moment!"

After thinking for a moment, Wang Zhifan judged that the being hidden under the sea must be contacted, so he took out the Fengyin bamboo hat from his personal space and put it on his head. Then he stepped a little further, crossed the side of the ship in front of him, and walked over step by step with his feet on the sea.

He wore a wind-hiding hat to eliminate the influence of the strong wind on the sea, and he used the auxiliary method of freezing the seawater under his feet to turn into solid ice when he walked there.

After a while, Wang Zhifan, who was wearing a Fengyin hat, stepped on the ice that was constantly forming under his feet and arrived close to the beautiful island. However, he did not focus on the charming island in front of him, but looked to the side of the island. On the sea surface, that place looked no different from other places in the Sea of ​​Storms. The waves were rough and windy, but it did not affect the islands next to it.

Under his gaze through the curtain of the bamboo hat, a huge black shadow gradually appeared under the sea. Then the black shadow slowly emerged from the sea like a piece of land, and then quickly rose up like a hill, appearing in front of his eyes. Show its full picture.

It was a huge dark blue sea creature. Its appearance was somewhat similar to a whale, but there were five eyes on both sides of its forehead. Each eye was a different color, but they all shone with a mysterious light, which made it look full of energy. A powerful force that cannot be offended.

"Outsiders, congratulations, you are the second batch to find this place."

The being in the form of a multi-eyed giant whale then stared at Wang Zhifan with its ten eyes and spoke softly, sounding like an older woman who had been waiting for her old friend for a long time.

"Am I in the second batch?"

Wang Zhifan was a little surprised when he heard this. On the one hand, he was surprised that this guy who looked not weak at first glance seemed to have a very friendly attitude. On the other hand, he was curious about who could catch up with him.

"Yes, several people similar to you have landed on Forbidden Fruit Island. They are now in a little trouble. You'd better go and help them."

This multi-eyed giant whale who should be the messenger of Poseidon continued.
