After they chased away the octopus monster, it was like they had crossed a breakthrough point. The fog in front of them grew thinner and thinner. At the very end, only an extremely fine layer remained.
However, they had not crossed the fog region.
Looking out into the distance, a massive fog still lingered. An unassuming island laid in the middle of the fog, lonely but mysterious.
"We have reached it!" A look of anticipation appeared in Ouyang Shuo's eyes.
……
The entire island was less than twenty square kilometers long.
Likely due to the fog barrier, but the entire island seemed cut off from the rest of the world. When the animals on the island saw the Ouyang Shuo approach, they curiously came over without a sense of fear.
At the center of the island, a stark mountain peak stood out. It was like a piercing sword in the middle of nowhere.
Looking at this peak, Ouyang Shuo confirmed that they had arrived at the right place. As for the exact treasure spot, the map had detailed markings.
The treasure of the Blood Slaughterer was hidden in one of the mountain caves under the God Sword Mountain.
A giant stone blocked off the cover hole.
The Blood Slaughterer had not set up any traps. Rather, the stone was put in place to prevent animals from running in.
"Move the stone!" Ouyang Shuo instructed the Personal Guards.
"Yes!"
Chen Dameng jumped up. He grabbed the stone with both hands; his legs plunged into the ground, as he used all the strength in his body.
"Hei!"
The giant stone did not even move an inch….
"HAHHAA!"
The Personal Guards all laughed raucously; they did not bother about the face of their captain at all.
Chen Dameng was close friends with all of them, so his captain’s prestige was not overwhelming. He loved to brag about his skills and abilities to them, so this embarrassment situation would naturally cause the members to laugh.
Chen Dameng's face was completely red, “Aren’t you all coming to help?"
"Coming! Coming!" When they saw that their captain was about to blow up, the members did not dare to act out of hand. If not, the captain could use his martial arts skills to teach them a lesson.
Thanks to the hard work of the Personal Guards, the giant stone was finally moved.
The insides of the cave were pitch black and exceedingly humid. A person needed to light up a torch to catch sight of anything. The deeper one proceeded into the cave, the wider it grew.
After walking for twenty meters, they discovered a golden hollow ahead. The further one walked, the deeper the golden hue became. It was like there was a mysterious light attracting their attention.
Following the golden light, the path suddenly widened considerably. At last, an extremely spacious hall appeared in front of them; it had a size of over two hundred meters.
The golden light was emitted from his massive hall.
A mountain of gold filled the hall. Gold coins that numbered in the millions were strewn all around like litter, and they formed mountains that were tens of meters high.
The captivating golden light was enough to blind a person.
Siii!
At this impressive sight, Ouyang Shuo could not help but draw a deep breath. He had only seen such a quantity of gold in the vault of Shanhai City.
Conservatively speaking, there was no less than three million.
Apart from gold, there were numerous gems, jades, and precious stones. Other items were also embedded in the gold mountain, including precious swords decorated with rubies, china made of gold, and pearls the size of longans.
All these jewels seemed unassuming, but their value was definitely not lower than the gold mountain.
The pirate king had definitely built up a sizeable treasure collection throughout his life.
Ouyang Shuo's first reaction was to take a panoramic photo to remember the occasion.
When the others who came along saw this sight, they felt a little light headed. Greed appeared in their eyes.
"Everyone that came along will be rewarded one hundred gold." As they saying goes, ‘Finders keepers.’ If they were not rewarded, they might feel unhappy.
"Thank you, Lord, for the reward!"
The soldiers all woke up from their trance. They wiped away the drool on their faces and bowed to thank the Lord. One hundred gold was more than a few months of their pay.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and took out his storage bag, stowing away the entire gold mountain. The mountain transformed into a golden river, as it flowed into the storage bag and slowly disappeared from sight.
Such a scene was truly stunning and amazing.
During the last auction, he had purchased a larger interspatial stone. As a result, his current storage bag had a capacity of close to ten thousand cubic meters. Even if they somehow found another gold mountain, he would have enough space.
Furthermore, when gold entered a storage bag, it would just become a bunch of data. Only the gems and jewels were truly took up space.
The golden mountain disappeared, and the hall dimmed.
The entire gold mountain contained over 3.85 million gold. As for the valuation of the gems, he needed to look for professionals. Based on conservative estimations, their value should exceed three million.
This meant that from this trip, Ouyang Shuo had swept up seven million gold. This exceeded the sum of gold that the Four Seas Bank had obtained through the investment round.
If he spread this news out, other people would definitely feel jealous.
It was not over yet.
After he removed the gold mountain, a broken old iron box remained. Although it looked unassuming, it attracted all of his attention.
Normally speaking, the item inside this box would be the true treasure.
When he opened it, he only found three items inside.
A set of armor, a book, and a talisman.
Ouyang Shuo picked up the armor first; it was dark red in colour and a half body armor. The middle of the armor was a breastplate, while two golden dragons entwined the sides; the dragons looked extremely lifelike.
Name: Twin Dragon Swallows the Heaven Armor (God Rank)
Type: Heavy Armor
Weight: 25 kilograms
Defense: 95
Toughness: 85
Specialty: Unloading Force (50% reduction of the impact of hits to the body)
Killing Move: Twin Dragon Protection (inject primordial energy to form a thin protective layer around the body. Full proof protection for half an hour. Cooldown Time: one month)
Restricted Occupations: General, Chivalrous Expert, Bailiff
Evaluation: Crafted from dragon blood and gold essence, nourished by dragon blood, and forged with the fires of the heaven. Unless one is an overlord, they cannot use it. Drip blood on armor to claim. Cannot be traded, cannot be dropped, can evolve.
Add: This armor is part of the god equipment set, Dragon War. If one obtains the full set, they can activate the set specialty.
Compared to his current platinum armor, this armor was far better. Be it terms of defense or toughness, it was a massive upgrade.
More importantly, its specialty and killing move.
The specialty helped to reduce 50% of the impact, while the protection of the killing move was a life saving skill.
The only weakness was that it was a half body armor. Ouyang Shuo's current Mingguang Armor was a full set.
Thinking about the matter, Ouyang Shuo still decided to take off his current armor and replace it with the Twin Dragon Swallows the Heavens Armor.
Now, the current platinum rank Mingguang Armor was a little lacking for Ouyang Shuo. Furthermore, Baiqi and the other generals were wearing similar armor, so he did not stand out.
Ouyang Shuo only took off the main armor, while he kept the helmet and the other parts equipped. Before he obtained higher rank equipment, he would still wear them.
Who knows whether he has destiny to gather up the full set.
Following which, Ouyang Shuo picked up the small book.
Raging Ocean Warrior Training Manual: After use, user grasps the training technique of the Raging Ocean Warriors.
Raging Ocean Warriors: the guards of Poseidon, great at ocean battle, can fight on ships, and also in water.
After looking at the description, Ouyang Shuo was delighted.
After the few battles with the Annan navy, Ouyang Shuo could feel the weakness of the navy soldiers in terms of combat strength. Compared to the army, they were nothing.
Furthermore, due to the lack of navy generals, their combat strength was comparatively terrible.
With this manual, the rise of the Nanyang Navy would be something to look forward to.
The last talisman was a rare emperor rank talisman. Ouyang Shuo planned to use this item when he returned; he wanted to prevent anything unexpected from happening.
After obtaining these three items, Ouyang Shuo was filled with no regrets. Not only about this trip but also about not getting anything from the previous auction.
Of these three items, every single piece could compete with the ten auctioned items.
Blood Slaughterer, as expected from the king of pirates.
Of the treasures he kept, none of them were lousy items.
After cleaning up, Ouyang Shuo was ready to leave when he found a key in the corner of the box. Picking it up, he found that the key was carved from an unknown stone; it looked old and rusty.
Ouyang Shuo did not know what it was, so he just threw it into his storage bag before leaving the island.
On the other side, Zheng He had become the nightmare of the Annan players.
After splitting off, Zheng He led his troops to attack the Annan Navy alliance army's vanguard forces. The two squadrons had a head to head battle on the ocean.
The result of this engagement was naturally a huge victory for the Shanhai City Navy. Facing the canons of Shanhai City, the navy alliance army had no way to retaliate.
Following which, Zheng He made an unexpected move. He did not chase for the killing blow and just retreated.
Was that it?
Originally, the alliance squadron hesitated when they heard the news, but they still ended up chasing the Shanhai City Navy with all their might.
Helplessly, not only were the Shanhai squadron's ships better, but under all the buffs, their movement speed was also much faster, so how could the enemy catch up?
Zheng He used his speed advantage to perform a huge wrap around maneuver. The three squadrons split up and formed a three-way encirclement of the alliance navy.
Facing the crossfire net, the alliance navy did not know what hit them.
The crafty Zheng He was like an assassin, and he never struggled too long with the enemy. He struck once and retreated. After gaining an advantage, he swiftly left, not giving the enemy a chance to fight a close combat battle.
