Walking out of the coastal beach and approaching the jungle, Andrew took out his mobile phone and told Xue Chen that the group had collected a lot of information for the salvage of the Black Wolf, which he had stored in his mobile phone, including the general topography of the island.
, as well as the location where the Black Wolf island was discovered.
"We should go east."
Andrew pointed out the direction he should go while looking at the information on his phone.
It was the first time for Xue Chen to land on such an uninhabited sea island. It felt quite novel. Looking around, he could occasionally see some colorful birds, but there seemed to be no big beasts.
"Andrew, should this island belong to a country? Which country is it?" Xue Chen suddenly thought of this question. Although this island is located in the Pacific Ocean and is uninhabited, it looks like a desert island, but in fact, everything can be seen on the sea.
The islands we arrived already had countries to which we belonged.
He also read some information from some books when he was in college. There are more than 25,000 islands in the Pacific alone, more than 90% of which are uninhabited. They are dotted around the world, just like this island.
However, these islands are all owned by one another, and were basically divided up in the early 1800s and 1900s.
At that time, China was in the most turbulent period. It was in a period of collapse of feudal society and endless wars. Its national power was also very weak. It did not have the energy, ability, or consciousness to seize the ownership of these islands. As a result, the 20,000
Many islands were divided among the countries of North America and Western Europe.
"Xue Chen, I know what you mean. This island is under the jurisdiction of the United States. If something is discovered, don't worry about whether there will be trouble. It will all belong to us." Andrew said with certainty.
And just as Xue Chen and the others were heading towards the depths of the island, a large ship also stopped on the other side of the island, and a speedboat was lowered. Eight people landed on the coast, headed by a
The man with brown hair has light gray eyes sunk deeply into his eye sockets, which are shining brightly, giving him a feeling that he is not easy to mess with.
"Mr. Jesta, is this the island?" A man with weathered skin, a beard, and an outdoor adventure suit kicked the sand under his feet and asked.
Jesta glanced at the leader of the survey expedition team he hired and said, "Mr. Cohen, yes, it's this island." After saying that, he looked into the depths of the island, his eyes full of eagerness.
and hope.
Jesta, an Englishman, was originally the son of a poor fisherman. After twenty years of hard work, he now has his own fishing company with several fishing boats under his command. He is also considered a middle-to-upper-class rich man, but in order to make money
With more money, I would occasionally quietly engage in smuggling business.
A year ago, he got a house due to debt. When he took over the house, he found some old things in a storage room in the house, but most of them were garbage. Only one thing aroused his interest.
Curious, that is an extremely well-preserved letter.
After flipping through it curiously, he was attracted by the content above. The person who left these handwritings was a British navy in the sixteenth century. It recorded a battle used by the naval fleet to wipe out the pirates of the Black Wolf.
Killed all the pirate leaders.
As mentioned above, the British Navy received news that the treasures looted before the Black Wolf was sunk had been transferred. On an island, one of the Black Wolf's lairs, the Navy immediately sent people to search.
The navy who left the message was one of them, but after three days of searching, it still failed because only the three leaders of the pirates knew where it was hidden, but all three leaders had been buried in the sea.
Unfortunately, their team had a new mission. They needed to land in a colony and suppress the rebels, so they had to leave.
At the end, Jesta realized that this was not a letter, but the last words left by the navy to his descendants. He hoped that his descendants would one day go to that island to continue searching and find the treasure hidden in the Black Wolf.
After seeing this letter, he immediately realized this opportunity that would change his life's destiny, and immediately started investigating, spending nearly a year studying various materials.
Finally, on this day, he brought a professional survey expedition team and two of his bodyguards to the island to find the incredible wealth.
"Let's go!"
Jesta took a deep breath, waved his hands to the people around him, and headed towards the island.
On the other side, Xue Chen and the others were also marching. It took nearly an hour to arrive at the island's mansion, and they could see the only mountain on the island more clearly.
Andrew pointed in a direction at the foot of the mountain: "According to the data, the place where the crew of the Black Wolf lives is over there. It is a large cave, and the entrance is right there. We are almost there."
When they reached the foot of the mountain, there was a large gravel beach. The three of them finally found the entrance to the cave. It was very big and easy to find. It was seven or eight meters high, like a big open mouth.
It was pitch black inside.
The three of them all carried flashlights and were about to step in when suddenly, Amanda exclaimed: "Look, someone seems to be coming over there?"
Anyone?
Xue Chen and Andrew looked in the direction indicated by Amanda at the same time, and saw that there were indeed several shadowy figures that seemed to be moving this way.
"Could it be the savages on this island?" Amanda suddenly became nervous, and even thought about whether it was the savages who came to catch them?
"Where do these savages come from? No, they are normal people."
Xue Chen had already seen clearly with his eagle eyes for the first time. Although he was a stranger, he was indeed a normal person and had nothing to do with the savages. When he saw some of those people carrying some strange equipment, his mind moved.
, realizing that these people should also be here for the treasure of the Black Wolf.
"How about we go back first and call some people over with guns?" Andrew thought about it, looked at Xue Chen and said.
"No, don't worry, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen." Seeing that Andrew was worried that the sudden appearance of these people would bring danger, Xue Chen comforted him.
Soon, people in the distance also spotted Xue Chen and the others standing on the rocky beach, and they also slowed down their progress. Xue Chen even saw one of them take out a telescope and look at them. He even thought about using it.
How about saying hello without raising your arm?
After identifying the three of Xue Chen, those people came over again. Soon, the two sides were face to face on the stone beach. They were ten meters away and paying attention to each other.
"Who are you?" Jesta took a step forward, stared cautiously, and asked.
Andrew did not answer, but asked: "Where are you from?"
For a moment, both parties were silent, neither wanting to tell the other party more about their details.
However, Xue Chen had already used his mind-reading ability without any politeness when the other party glanced at him, and knew what the other party was thinking and where they came from, to ensure that it would not pose any danger to them.
"Are you from the UK?" Xue Chen learned a lot from Jesta's heart and was sure that the other party was really here for the financial report of the Black Wolf.
Regarding the letter, my heart moved slightly.
Seeing both parties standing silently on the stone beach, Xue Chen glanced at the eight people opposite, waved his hands and said to Andrew: "Let's go in, don't worry about anything, don't worry, I'm here."
"Okay." Andrew had great trust in Xue Chen. When Xue Chen said it was okay, he didn't need to be nervous.
When he saw Xue Chen and three people walking towards the huge cave, although he had already guessed that the three of them might have roughly the same purpose as them, Jesta's heart sank, and everyone else around him didn't look good either.
Jesta glanced deeply at the direction where Xue Chen and the others came. It was clear that there could not be only three people. To reach this island, at least a large ship would be needed. But he didn't know how many people were there.
I feel like it’s better to find out where the other person is coming from first.
He thought about it, took a few steps forward, and said loudly: "I think we should get to know each other. My name is Jesta. I am from England. I came here to explore with my friends... What about you, what are you here for? Only
There are three of you?”
Andrew looked at Xue Chen, and Xue Chen glanced at him: "The purpose of coming is the same as yours."
At this time, Cohen, the leader of the expedition team with a beard, glanced at Xue Chen and the others lightly, and said to the side: "Mr. Jesta, I think there is no need to ask more. Everyone knows the purpose of coming here.
Of course they are all here for the treasure of the legendary Black Wolf, there is nothing to hide."
Jesta didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
Xue Chen and the others did not continue to communicate with each other, and walked slowly into the cave.
When Jesta saw someone getting there first, he immediately felt anxious.
"Mr. Jesta, don't worry. This huge cave has been searched by at least dozens or hundreds of people, including some professional teams, but nothing has been harvested. Even I am not sure at all. Do you think these three instruments are anything?"
What can the little guys find without them? Haha, unless it’s a sow that can climb a tree, I hope they won’t be so scared that they wet their pants when they enter a dark cave.” Cohen touched his beard and said with a laugh.
When Jesta thought that this was indeed the case, he stopped worrying.
Several other members of the survey team burst out laughing, and even a man with blond curly hair whistled: "I guess the children from rich families are here to find an exciting place...
For fighting in the field."
Immediately, there was a burst of even louder laughter.
The three of Xue Chen hadn't gone far yet, and they could hear the words and laughter clearly, especially the last sentence. After hearing this, Amanda's face turned pale with anger, and she said angrily: "These people are really rude.
"
Andrew was about to turn around and scold him angrily, but before he could open his mouth, he saw... (To be continued)
