Chapter 107: Instant Wealth (2)

But it seemed that they could still set sail.

...

The troops spread out and searched the cavern, looking for an exit.

Soon, a nearby Murloc shouted loudly.

In front of it, there were two metal levers embedded in the ground.

Ji Chen first pulled the lever on the left.

With a slight tremor, the dry dock began to fill with water, gradually lifting the Whitebeard.

Whether it was his imagination or not, the presence of water seemed to enhance the intimidating aura emanating from the Whitebeard.

Ordinary enemies would be filled with fear at the sight of such a warship, even before engaging in battle.

Once the dry dock was completely filled with water, and the ship floated steadily on the surface, Ji Chen proceeded to pull the lever on the right.

This time, the tremors were more intense.

As if experiencing an earthquake, the entire mountain shook.

Under the astonished gaze of everyone present, the rock wall in front of the dry dock suddenly opened to the sides. Amidst a thunderous frictional sound, a dazzling light poured in from outside.

Torrents of water rushed in from the outside, crashing against the hull and causing the ship to sway slightly.

After the rock wall was fully opened, they saw the deep blue sea outside and seagulls flying in a panic-filled sky.

This cavernous mountain hollow was separated from the vast ocean by just a rock wall!

What a grand design!

No wonder Edward was so confident that nobody would discover the hiding place of the Whitebeard.

No one could have imagined that a warship was concealed within the mountain.

Ji Chen led the troops onto the deck via a gangplank and began to explore the ship.

Compared to ordinary warships, the Whitebeard had more decks—five in total —and over a hundred cabins.

Captain’s quarters, storage rooms, armories, showers, living quarters—he even came across a bar and a bathhouse.

This wasn’t just a warship; it was practically a cruise ship!

Ji Chen was delighted because he had now become the owner of this ship.

He suddenly thought of a problem.

Since this ship belonged to him, he should change its name.

After pondering for a while, he decisively changed the name of the New Moon to this ship.

From now on, this New Moon was his ride, and also the flagship of the other warships!

Apart from inspecting the various decks and cabins, Ji Chen also inspected the cannons on the ship.

Due to the lack of maintenance, most of these cannons had rusted and could not be used.

Less than one-fifth of the hundred cannons could still be used.

This made him a little disappointed.

With such a warship that could carry so many cannons, if it was left empty, its threat would be greatly reduced.

However, where could he find such a large gap in the cannon?

Silver Islands?

There were many merchant ships there, and there were all kinds of black markets. Naturally, there were many things like cannons.

However, he had just left the Silver Islands not long ago. He did not know if they were still fighting there. It would not be good to return now.

Transplant the dozens of cannons from the two pirate ships?

It didn’t seem very reliable. In his expectation, the two pirate ships would be used as frigates to protect the merchant ship that he had stolen and trade with them.

Removing the cannons was equivalent to pulling out the tiger’s teeth and claws. It was impossible.

After much thought, Ji Chen still placed his hopes on Raymond, the businessman.

Using Raymond and the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce’s name to purchase cannons and other more powerful weapons was much better than doing it himself.

After making his decision.

He closed the stone door and led the army back.

The pirates were bustling between the underground tomb and the ship, transporting the gold coins.

He found Sparrow and inquired about the progress of the excavation.

“We have already dug up half of it. Please give us some more time, My Lord,” Sparrow replied.

After instructing them to continue their work, Ji Chen walked toward the outside of the valley, crossed the forest, and arrived at the beach.

As he leisurely admired the seascape, he suddenly noticed a warship appearing in the distance, heading straight toward their location.

Ji Chen squinted his eyes; it seemed an unwelcome visitor had arrived.

Immediately, he gathered the troops.

On the ship.

“Boss, is Edward’s treasure real? 1 have a feeling that this treasure map is a scam,” someone questioned.

“1 feel the same way. It seems like this treasure map was designed to mislead people. The information on it is practically useless in finding the actual location. Maybe it’s just a trick,” another pirate chimed in.

“We’ve been drifting at sea for so long, who knows what might happen to our territory…”

Hearing the complaints and criticisms from the others, Qiao Yixiong’s face flickered with hesitation and doubt.

It had been almost a week since they set sail. To spend such a precious week at sea in the initial stages of the treasure hunt showed how much hope he had placed on this treasure map.

After all, it was the treasure of the pirate Edward!

If they could find it, the immeasurable wealth they would gain would be enough to change their lives.

But reality had dealt him a heavy blow. They had sailed aimlessly for so long, without even catching a glimpse of the so-called island.

The disparity between his expectations and the complaints of his companions had almost shattered his confidence entirely.

Maybe we should just turn back now?

Qiao Yixiong let out a deep sigh, ready to give up.

But at that moment, his companions suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

“Look, there’s an island!”

An island?

It was probably another worthless island.

Qiao Yixiong shook his head and looked up.

In the next moment, he felt like he had been struck by lightning.

The appearance of this island, why did it look so familiar?

He swiftly retrieved the treasure map, scanning it up, down, and then up again. A surge of elation washed over him.

The shape and appearance of this island matched the markings on the map exactly!

They had found the island where pirate Edward had buried his treasure!

“Full speed ahead! The treasure is right in front of us!”

He exclaimed with excitement, and the others shared the same excitement.

But soon, they felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them.

They stood frozen in their tracks.

Because they saw that four ships were anchored at the shore of the depressed area of the island.

Were they pirates, or someone else who had gotten there first?

An unwillingness surged within them, driving them to get closer.

They saw a figure standing on the beach, surrounded by some troops.

“Could it be that this person has already obtained the treasure? Has all our effort been in vain?”

“It seems to be a player. Should we go over and take a look?”

Qiao Yixiong’s expression darkened, and he quickly gritted his teeth.

“Let all the amphibious troops enter the water, hide in the shadows. We’ll get closer and observe.”

“If their strength is weaker than ours, we’ll directly eliminate them. If their strength is stronger, we’ll lie in wait for an opportunity to ambush. Once we take down their leader, the troops will be easier to handle.”

“We have searched for this treasure for so long, we can’t return empty-handed!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he received the approval of the others.

They had searched for so long, how could they return empty-handed?

He didn’t feel guilty about killing other players.

This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak.

His face was expressionless, but his heart was filled with killing intent.

They took a few small boats and slowly sailed towards the shore.

Hundreds of soldiers swam slowly on the surface of the water.

Qiao Yixiong waved his arms and shouted enthusiastically when he was still dozens of meters away.

“Brother, are you the lord of this island? We’re just in some trouble and need your help! Please do not attack!”

Seeing that person nod, Qiao Yixiong was delighted and called out to the soldiers to speed up the rowing.

The small boat quickly passed by a few warships that were anchored by the shore in pairs, and a hint of jealousy flashed through her eyes uncontrollably.

The four of them desperately collected resources and accepted commissions to earn gold coins. Only then did they sell everything they had to buy a two-masted sailboat.

And this person actually owns four ships, three of which are three-masted warships.

It’s simply unbearable to see others surpassing them!

Soon, a wave of greed washed over them. If they could kill this person, then wouldn’t all these ships belong to them?

In the depths of their hearts, the intent to kill grew stronger..
