Inside the cave.
Qin Ze sat facing several ragged sailors, with Giant Overlord and Captain Hook beside him.
Captain Hook was depressed, still grieving the loss of the Flying Circus Man.
Giant Overlord Ba sat upright, taking on the role of Qin Ze's bodyguard.
The other clones went off to explore the map.
Upon arriving at the New Land, even the raging winds and torrential rain couldn't dampen their burning desire for exploration.
"Did you all arrive on the island in the last few days?" Qin Ze asked.
The Scarface at the head nodded. "To be precise, we were forced to land on the island."
All of these people came to this sea area to adventure after hearing Wang Laoliu's "Legend of the Dragon King".
Upon arriving at their destination, they received both good news and bad news.
The good news is that there really is a Level Nine sea monster's corpse.
To date, no Level Nine sea monster has ever been discovered in Sea Capital.
As long as they bring the sea monster's carcass back to the Sea Capital, they can spend the rest of their lives in sunshine and carefree joy.
The bad news, however, was that they couldn't take the sea monster's carcass back with them.
Not only could we not bring them back, but there were simply too many sea monsters in that area.
The moment they got even slightly close to the corpse, they were met with a frenzied attack from the sea monsters.
Even the sturdiest ship cannot withstand the relentless onslaught of sea monsters.
As a result, the hunting boats were successively smashed to pieces.
Some of them became food for the sea monsters.
Another group of lucky individuals swam to the island using the waves.
These are the savages who were discovered by the clones as soon as they landed on the island.
More than sixty people have ended up on this island.
The Scarface in front of Qin Ze was the leader.
Scarface, at the peak of level three, is the strongest among these sailors.
The Flying Circus Man was spotted by the Scarface man as soon as he appeared in the nearby waters.
People flocked to the shore to watch the fun.
I only found balance when I saw others getting wet in the rain, even though I had gotten wet myself.
However, what Qin Ze and the others did next shocked them.
First came Qin Ze's aerial flight and Water Release, followed by the thick, massive lightning pillar, and finally, several Self-Destruct Squad were thrown out.
Such a fierce and wild fighting style refreshed their understanding.
Scarface and his group, who had been waiting to die on the island, saw a renewed hope of leaving this hellish place.
That's right, all they want now is to return to Thousand Streams Island and Sea Capital alive.
Although they were full of enthusiasm when shouting slogans before setting off, no one wanted to die when faced with a real crisis, after all, they only have one life.
Having money is good, but you have to be alive to enjoy it.
After listening to Scarface recount their experiences, Qin Ze fell into deep thought.
Wang Laoliu intentionally lured these people to the island, but no one knows what he was really planning.
Of course, it can't be called a scam.
Not far away, a "dragon corpse" was floating in the sea, just as Wang Laoliu had described in the tavern.
Scarface cautiously asked, "Who are you people?"
"Did you come from Thousand Streams Island, or from Sea Capital?"
Captain Hook perked up upon hearing this.
He slowly stood up, puffed out his chest, and said, "Listen carefully."
"Standing before you now is the owner of the Flying Circus Man, the Commander of the Circus Navy, the only true Captain left in this world, the explorer of the sea, the Hunter of sea monsters, the infamous Captain Hook!"
Scarface scratched his head. "Uh... aren't there only three of you now?"
The Local Area Network erupted in laughter.
The Dharma King: "You've really shown off, it's hilarious."
Brother Devour: " Scarface is quite a talent too."
Mist Lord: "I'm so embarrassed I could dig three bedrooms and a living room out of my toes."
Thousand Faces: "I've settled in Bengbu, family."
Captain Hook's lips twitched, and with a flick of his arm, he uttered a Scholar's saying.
"This brat is beyond redemption!"
After saying that, the Captain walked into the heavy rain.
Scarface was completely bewildered. "What's wrong with him?"
Qin Ze smiled and said, "He's not quite mentally stable."
Scarface nodded, then said seriously, "When we get back this time, I suggest you find a new Captain."
"If someone has mental health issues, it's difficult for them to be responsible for everyone on the ship."
Qin Ze almost couldn't hold back either, and nodded. "I'll change when I get back."
"By the way, why haven't you contacted Thousand Streams Island?"
With so many people, Qin Ze didn't believe they had all lost their communication equipment.
Scarface sighed, "There's electromagnetic shielding on this island and in the surrounding waters; all communication equipment is down."
Qin Ze took out his water-damaged phone and shook it.
As Scarface said, the signal is zero.
After arriving on the island, Scarface and his men searched almost the entire island but found nothing.
This island is just like any other small island; there's nothing special about it.
As darkness fell, the sailors in the cave lit several campfires and began preparing dinner.
The cave is very large; it could easily accommodate another hundred or eighty people.
Dry and spacious, it's a perfect shelter.
There are no animals on the island, and the sailors have been eating nothing but fish these days.
Scarface handed two grilled fish to Qin Ze and Giant Overlord.
"Aren't your men coming back yet?"
It was so dark, and it was raining outside, but none of them had returned.
Qin Ze said calmly, "Don't worry about them, they'll take good care of themselves."
Scarface felt a strange sensation; he had never seen such a peculiar person before.
It's not just their fighting style, but also their various behaviors.
He still vividly remembers what the other sailor said to him on the beach after he was spotted.
Are you the NPCs on the island?
"Where is the BOSS? I'm itching to be here."
"Hello, savage villagers, how can I help you?"
"Do you have any good swords from the village that I can look at?"
"Stunned and clueless, didn't trigger anything."
"..."
Scarface was completely bewildered, having no idea what the other person meant.
Fortunately, Qin Ze stepped forward, and normal communication was possible.
After Scarface led the other party to the camp, those people excitedly disappeared into the dense forest without looking back.
Having just survived a life-or-death battle at sea, they were now stranded on a strange, deserted island, with no end in sight.
But these people showed no fear; instead, they were filled with excitement and Fervor.
Scarface suddenly remembered Captain Hook's self-introduction.
The only true Captain in this world.
In this light, those sailors could indeed be considered true sailors.
That's incredibly adventurous.
Scarface felt inferior.
After finishing the grilled fish, everyone found a place to lie down in the cave to rest.
The Giant Overlord stood guard beside Qin Ze, motionless like a statue.
Scarface sat opposite Qin Ze, hesitating several times as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Qin Ze smiled and said, "Don't worry, I already told the people I left on Thousand Streams Island my destination before I set off."
"If they can't contact me after 24 hours, they'll come looking for me."
Scarface breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Finally, we saw a glimmer of hope.
Qin Ze was not lying.
Brother Devour and his crew acquired a new ship and have already set sail from Sea Capital overnight. They should arrive by noon tomorrow at the latest.
The Mist Lord drove the " Fog of War " all the way, so he wasn't afraid of sea monster attacks.
In the dead of night, the sea suddenly shone with brilliant light.
Qin Ze, who had just fallen asleep, was shaken awake. The once dark cave was now brightly lit.
