Chapter 1 Niang's Madness Today

After chasing away the swordfish swarm, the *Dingyuan* continued to completely ignore the reefs, advancing straight ahead with a "gods block, smash gods; Buddhas block, smash Buddhas" momentum. On this day, at dusk, after five days of sailing at sea, the dark outline of an island finally appeared in the lookout's field of vision.

This news instantly spread throughout the ship, and the pirates cheered. Greed also appeared in their eyes. This was Gold and Silver Island! The place where the legendary pirate ship, the Black Pearl, stored its treasures! Here, gold was like sand, silver like dirt, and wealth was as worthless as pebbles… More importantly, the boss was a very generous guy!

Fang Senyan chose twenty pirates who were good at close combat and agile, to go ashore with himself and two others. Of course, Daqi Si, Black Sail, and Big Beard Davis, the core members, would also go, while Philip and the old sea dog stayed on the ship to guard it. The remaining pirates were not afraid of them embezzling anything, because no one could leave without the ship.

Although in the movie, the treasure of the Black Pearl seemed to be readily available, it was only because Jack Sparrow and Mr. Barbossa were very familiar with the conditions on the road. For the results of the divination that Jie Jie performed at the time, being able to give the approximate coordinates of an island was already very rare. Black magic could not replace satellite radar aircraft after all.

Before contacting Jack Sparrow, Fang Senyan had also considered the idea of using his blood, but Captain Jack was probably betrayed before, so he was very careful. Presumably in this world full of black magic, there were many curse arts that used blood as a medium. At this time, to trick Mr. Jack, it was estimated that only Elizabeth Swann, who was good at using her feminine charm, could do it.

After discovering Gold and Silver Island, the *Dingyuan* was in no hurry to land, but circled the island to carefully observe the situation, and then realized that the area of the island was probably only six or seven square kilometers. In other words, it was probably not even as big as a large-scale residential area in the real world, but the terrain looked quite complex and varied.

Of course, at the same time, they were also checking for traces of the Black Pearl. According to the progress of the original plot, if the Black Pearl had successfully hijacked Elizabeth Swann at Royal Port at that time, then they should have already been here, and discovered that although the gold coin on Swann was real, she was not the heir of the true owner of the gold coin, so the blood could not undo the curse, and therefore they began to chase again.

What Fang Senyan was aiming for was the time when the Black Pearl was chasing Swann and Will Turner, the true heir of the gold coin. Just imagine, the Black Pearl was about to catch up with them when suddenly they were warned that their lair had been robbed, then they would inevitably fall into a dilemma. If Fang Senyan was Barbossa, then he would definitely choose to solve the problem closest to him in the fastest time.

But as the saying goes, haste makes waste. Although Mr. Jack Sparrow should be imprisoned on the Black Pearl at this time, there was Will Turner, Mr. Gibbs, and the imaginative Elizabeth, so they should be able to buy Fang Senyan and the others more time! This was Fang Senyan's plan.

This island should not be a coral reef island or a volcanic island formed after birth, but a direct protruding island. The so-called protruding island is that if the surrounding sea water is drained, it can be found that Gold and Silver Island is actually a peak of the undulating underwater mountain range exposed on the water surface, and it is very solid. If you search Gold and Silver Island, then according to common sense, it should not take too much time.

After a group of people landed on Gold and Silver Island, they found that there were actually many plants growing on the island. As soon as they jumped off the gangplank, they felt a soft texture under their feet. Looking closely, there were algae left on the beach after the tide receded, like dead people's hair intertwined together.

In places where the sea water could not reach, shrubs with leaves that were slightly green in the gray grew everywhere, occupying people's sight in piles. The leaves of these unknown shrubs were mostly gray and defeated, and even if they withered, they would not fall.

In this case, the group could only zigzag through, from one pile of tangled trees to another. From puddles with green foam to muddy pits. If you walk on such a ground, even the speed of the pirates will be affected.

"It seems that it often rains here." Daqi Si suddenly said, "The putrid smell here is too strong."

The terrain ahead has almost become a swamp. Everyone is stepping on lush reeds and dead green, juicy, and sticky aquatic plants. Stepping on it will spray out a rotten stench, and a strong turbid air comes to the nose.

After continuing to walk for nearly a hundred meters, with each step, the feet will be buried in the soft and stinky black mud to the calf. There seem to be several cold hands grabbing it tightly underneath, and they are grabbing so tightly and so firmly, it takes at least ten times the effort than walking on flat ground.

Black Sail suddenly said:

"We can't go any further, the swamp ahead may engulf people."

Black Sail has traveled to many places, and his words cannot be disbelieved. Fang Senyan thought for a while, and asked people to divide into groups of three to search in different areas, but in the end, they got nothing. The swamp even swallowed several people's lives. If it hadn't been emphasized before that they must bring ropes with them, then there would definitely be non-combat attrition.

Faced with such an embarrassing scene, everyone felt like they had entered a treasure mountain and returned empty-handed. Just when everyone felt quite confused, Daqi Si suddenly said:

"Wait a minute, I always feel that something is not right. The distortion of the black magic elements here is a bit too much."

She stood on the beach for a while, and suddenly asked people to pull away the algae covering the beach and observe it carefully, then asked people to cut down the shrubs and light them on fire.

Speaking of which, it is also very strange. These shrubs seem to have almost no moisture, but it is quite difficult to ignite them with fire. Fortunately, pirate ships must have weapons for killing and arson, so large weapons such as kerosene are essential. After pouring kerosene on them, these plants finally burned vigorously. At this time, everyone finally noticed something strange.

In this Lost Sea, because it is foggy everywhere, the visibility is almost half lower than in other places. As we all know, wind is the biggest enemy of fog, so the wind here is quite slow. And after the cut shrubs were lit, thick black smoke rose. This black smoke was like being blown by a strong wind, showing an attitude almost parallel to the ground, and blew very quickly in one direction.

"That's right!" Daqi Si said happily. She immediately led people in the direction of the black smoke. If the black smoke dissipated, continue to cut down the shrubs and light them, and follow the direction of the black smoke. Finally, they arrived at a place where the black smoke from the fire no longer deviated, but went straight into the sky!

Daqi Si stood in this place with a solemn expression. She asked Black Sail to stay and help, and then stood here, holding the crystal ball she bought in Tortuga in her hands, and began to close her eyes, muttering something silently. She recited at a very fast speed, but every word was very clear, but no one could understand what she was reciting. They only felt that her voice was buzzing, as if resonating with the internal organs of the human body!

Suddenly, the light on the crystal ball flickered, and it began to focus like a convex lens, and then a deep red light shot out from it, pouring into the fire in the center in front. The flame instantly added a few deep dark colors, and then exploded into thousands of star flowers in an instant, as if all the ashes in the fire were silently exploding in an instant!

Then the remaining embers quickly gathered in the air, constantly reciprocating and intertwined, and finally intertwined into a dense net. On each grid, there was a little light from the embers, and all the lights gathered on one point. Daqi Si reached out and pinched that point, feeling as if she was pinching the handle of a door. She dragged it hard and laboriously. Black Sail wanted to step forward to help, but Daqi Si refused.

At this time, you could feel the wind blowing from a distant place.

The wind was blowing towards them. At first, it was a negligible flow, not even able to lift a strand of hair. But this wind seemed to blow from the heart, and after it started, it began to swirl around, and slowly grew in a determined and increasing manner.

Not only that, but everyone felt that the land they were standing on was constantly trembling and jumping, almost making them feel that the ground under their feet was not solid ground but an angry horse that was constantly galloping, but this was not the feeling of an earthquake. Such a strange and mysterious experience was rapidly corroding the nerves of the people present.

And the wind was even stronger, and it blew strangely. It was as if five or six huge black vortexes were gradually forming in the air around the courtyard, fiercely and greedily sucking the air. The feeling of that unstoppable crazy suction was like squeezing out the soul!

Daqi Si suddenly made a forceful pulling motion, then let go of her hand, staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground, panting heavily. Then she drank a few mouthfuls of the liquid she had prepared before she finally recovered, but her face still looked quite ugly, just like she had vomited many times and then gorged herself.
