After about half an hour, we still haven’t seen the pier, not even the noise of the pirates or the shadow of the pirate ship. It can be seen that there is still some distance from the pier, and the small wheel has come several times along the way.
Feige sent a message to inquire about the progress, because they did not dare to take the initiative to attack the pirate ship, and they did not pay attention to the few small sea monsters that occasionally jumped out of the water, so now they were so bored that they started to look up and count the stars.
Chu Nan couldn't help but sigh and said: "If we had known that this road was so difficult, we shouldn't have taken the boat around so far just now. We should have gone closer and saved a lot of time."
"It shouldn't be far," Huo Wu Jiutian said.
The only convenience along the way is that there is no need to light a torch or use night beads for lighting, because there is bright magma everywhere, just like a layer of floor lamps on the ground.
After traveling for another ten minutes, Chu Nan finally saw a pirate ship wandering peacefully in the sea not far away. He couldn't help lowering his voice excitedly, and turned to Huo Wu, who was still some distance behind.
Jiutian said: "There is a pirate ship, I think we should be there soon."
Huo Wu Jiutian's traveling speed is relatively slow, and she is still an elementalist, so she is not suitable for spying on intelligence, so Chu Nan said hello and went ahead.
When the road reaches here, the gentle section is already quite wide, and the area through which the slowly flowing magma flows is getting smaller and smaller, and the branches are getting thinner and thinner. Some of it has not yet had time to finally be injected into the sea water.
Disappeared on the land, so Chu Nan can choose to jump to most places at this time, or jump twice in a row. Basically, he no longer needs to wait all the way, and the traveling speed is greatly improved. After walking for a while, the ground
Magma flows on the surface are basically rare, and there is only a thick layer of volcanic ash accumulated on the ground.
After entering a low forest, Chu Nan finally heard the shouts of the pirates. He carefully walked through the woods, pushing aside the layers of leaves, and saw a firelight suddenly opening up in front of him.
Chu Nan quickly squinted his eyes and took a closer look. On the plain near the seaside, there were alternating shadows of pirates and firelight everywhere, just like pirates gathering on the beach or grass to have a bonfire party.
A group of pirates were sitting around, the meat of some large creature seemed to be roasting on the fire rack, and many pirates were drinking heavily.
What's going on? The nearby volcano is still erupting. These pirates are actually having a bonfire party. As monsters, are the pirates too calm? Chu Nan couldn't help but be a little surprised. He continued to scan other places carefully. He
Suddenly, I discovered that in one of the plains, there were a large number of wooden piles and dozens of wooden houses that were being built or had been built.
Seeing this, Chu Nan couldn't help frowning, and then quickly sent a flying pigeon message to the Seraphim on the Maple Leaf, asking: "Is there a village or town on the volcanic island?"
The latter replied shortly: "No, if there was a stronghold in this place, it wouldn't be so desolate. It would just be a dock."
"Damn! Damn it, are these pirates going to build a long-term combat base here?" Chu Nan felt that this possibility was extremely high, and it was also very likely that Claude asked him and Huo Wu Jiutian to help investigate.
Pirate conspiracy.
No, he must not be allowed to complete this base. Once the construction is completed, Eastwatch will be directly threatened!
Before it was completed, the pirate ships would attack in groups of four or five. After it was completed, dozens or more ships might be dispatched at once, or even directly evolve into a large-scale monster attack like the original Demon Cave incident. East China Sea Watch this
It is very difficult to defend a remote place where there are no birds to poop, and Chu Nan is still very confident that when the time comes, Glory City may still not provide him with any reinforcements.
However, the current situation is weak and it is unrealistic to destroy this pirate stronghold. Although the pirates in front of him are all drunk and not on high alert, the numerical advantage of the pirates is what Chu Nan knows.
An insurmountable gap, and Chu Nan has not forgotten that there are a large number of pirate ships wandering outside the dock.
Therefore, Chu Nan's thoughts quickly returned to the main task of his trip.
"It's strange that after seeing the intentions of these pirates, the system didn't give a prompt?" Chu Nan thought depressingly. If he continued to get closer, he would most likely be discovered by those pirates. Although ordinary pirates would definitely be
Chu Nan can't be found, but there is no guarantee that there is a stealth-breaking boss like the pirate leader here, and Chu Nan thinks this is very likely, because this is a pirate stronghold, and there will be at least one leader-level boss there.
, and maybe a lord-level one.
After Chu Nan waited for a long time, Huo Wu Jiutian finally caught up. Her first reaction when she came over and saw the scene in front of her was almost exactly the same as Chu Nan's. She asked if there was a village or small town here, and then Chu Nan
Nan Jiang repeated the reply given to him by Seraphim.
"It seems we need to continue to get closer." Huo Wu Jiutian also noticed that there was no prompt for the next step in his mission.
"Yes, but I'm afraid you can't move forward anymore, right?" Chu Nan said. After all, the elemental master is in a weak position during spying and infiltration operations.
Regarding this, Huo Wu Jiutian was not worried at all. She smiled and said: "Don't forget, we are in the same team and we are taking on the same task. As long as we are not too far apart, basically if you complete it, you will
It’s like I’m done.”
"That's it..." Chu Nan couldn't help but suddenly realized, and then chuckled, "Okay, you were the one clearing the monsters along the way, now it's up to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Nan's figure quickly disappeared under the night. The shouts and noises of the pirates in the distance, as well as the thunderous sound of the volcano erupting behind him, well covered up the sound of Chu Nan's progress.
.
Chu Nan used his fastest sneaking speed to get close to where the pirates were. The pirates didn't notice Chu Nan sneaking in at all. They were all drunk, and some of them fell to the ground drunk.
Already.
"If Huo Wu Jiutian comes over and sets a fire at this time, it will definitely burn very well." Chu Nan thought in his heart. Of course, he was just thinking about it. What made him even more strange was that the distance was already quite close.
, the mission has not been triggered yet, do we have to enter the stronghold under construction?
It seemed that he had no choice but to turn in the direction of the wooden houses.
This pirate stronghold, like Eastwatch, was built next to the pier. Compared to the seaside plains where drunken pirates are everywhere, the number of pirates operating in this unfinished pirate stronghold is surprisingly small.
Chu Nan successfully sneaked into the stronghold.
The system prompts: "You have discovered that pirates are building a secret stronghold on the volcanic island. Please return to Glory City immediately and report to Claude, the president of the Adventure Guild."
Damn, I finally got a hint.
Chu Nan let out a long breath and was about to leave when he suddenly heard the sound of someone talking nearby.
A hoarse, weak-sounding voice groaned: "Give me wine...Give me wine...You damn bastards..."
Then an extremely rude voice replied: "Big Beard, please save your strength. If you yell again, be careful I will whip you with a whip. We don't have any wine to drink, so why are you yelling so hard!"
"Huh?" Chu Nan was slightly confused. This volcanic island originally had no base, so it couldn't be an NPC. Chu Nan's curiosity arose from the bottom of his heart and he decided to find out. If it was really an NPC,
That must be a task.
He carefully recalled the direction of the sound and confirmed that the conversation came from near a wooden house in the north. Chu Nan immediately followed the sound and moved towards the wooden house. Then he noticed that in front of the wooden house
There were actually two pirates in full gear guarding them, and there was a bronze lock on the door of that wooden house, so it was obvious that someone was being imprisoned.
Chu Nan was excited. This was a mission to rescue an imprisoned NPC, so it must be like this.
"But, what to do with these two pirates?" Chu Nan paused. These two pirates were obviously different from the pirates who had a bonfire party on the seaside plain before. They were on full alert and wanted to kill them silently. Obviously, Chu Nan
If you don't have the ability yet, how can you seduce the tiger away from the mountain? This is feasible, but it requires the cooperation of Huo Wu Jiutian, but it is unlikely that Huo Wu Jiutian can avoid so many nearby pirates coming here.
Then try to attack the east and west.
After Chu Nan decided, he immediately took out his bow, drew the arrow, found a corner where he could hide himself well, and then shot an arrow far to one side. The arrow made a "click" sound and nailed the
On a wooden house.
"What sound?" one of the pirates said.
"Don't worry about it, the boss said, our task is to guard the bearded man and never leave him."
Damn it, you didn’t accept this trick?! Chu Nan was secretly angry. It was absolutely impossible to open the bronze lock on the door of the wooden house behind them without alerting the two pirates, and these two pirates
The pirate did not make noises and attack in the west, and insisted on strictly sticking to his post. For a while, Chu Nan really couldn't find a countermeasure.
But if you want Chu Nan to give up, he obviously won't do it. The more difficult the task, the richer the reward. This is the truth of online games.
Wait! Chu Nan suddenly grabbed a thought that flashed through his mind. To do a task in Glory, you must understand the meaning of the NPC's words. Although the person speaking in front of you is a monster, this rule should also apply to monsters.
On the body.
From the sentence "We don't have any wine to drink" and then thinking about the rum in the hands of the drunken pirates along the way, the solution was immediately obvious.
"I'm a genius!" Chu Nan almost clapped his hands in excitement.
