Chapter 281 The Pirate King's Treasure
"The sea is so clear, I'm not used to it."
After just swimming in the sea for a while, the banshees began to sigh.
When they entered the sea before, it was either polluted or full of monsters. Now, these are gone. There is only clear water and occasional schools of fish swimming by.
"Sister Ash, what do you think the Abyss looks like now? Is it free of pollution?"
Ash swung her tail, not slowing down at all, but after a moment's hesitation, she responded, "That side should have collapsed. The Abyss was the entrance to the Sea God's Temple. Now that the Sea God has entered the boiler, the Sea God's Temple should no longer exist, right?"
When Castel returned to reality, he felt a faint sense of shattering all around him. Mortals might ignore it, but extraordinary races like the Banshees could feel it.
Although they haven't explored it yet, they speculate that the Temple of Poseidon should no longer exist, and that space without sea water was probably destroyed along with the Poseidon.
"Speaking of which, where should we go first? Gem Cove is so big, should we explore it separately?"
The official name of Gem Bay is the Martha Islands. There are dozens of islands of various sizes in this sea area. In addition to the largest pirate court, there are also several large islands with a population of more than 10,000.
The ocean currents between the islands are extremely complex and dotted with reefs. Without the guidance of the pirates of Gem Bay, it would be difficult for foreign ships to dock, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The Pirate King had made the decision to establish the Pirate Court here after careful consideration.
Of course, now he has gone to the boiler to think it over.
"Let's go to the Pirate King's Court together to check out the situation, and then separate." Ash said briefly, and uploaded a few maps through the mental link.
"Gem Bay is quite large. We will explore it in this order. There will be people in each area, so they can serve as relays for each other. Everyone is within the coverage area of the mind link, so they can report any problems as soon as they occur."
The banshees all nodded. After the war, they were already used to using mind links to check real-time situations. Ash's plan was very reasonable. Two banshees in a group could basically cover the entire Martha Islands and ensure that the mind links were unobstructed everywhere.
"I have designated three gathering points, all of which are relatively large islands. If we encounter troubles that are difficult to deal with, or if the distance is too far and the connection is disconnected, we can directly gather at these three islands."
The three islands are not far apart. As long as they gather together, their mental connection will naturally be successful.
"Although the biggest trouble, the Pirate King, has been dealt with, Jewel Bay is still very dangerous. The Poseidon Church may still have believers alive, but they may not be human. Please be careful."
"Also remember our goal. Our main purpose this time is not to explore, but to find a ship. Don't delay the important matter."
The banshees responded in unison, swinging their tails. The white waves they created were like a paintbrush, slowly extending from the canvas of the Storm Ocean to the Martha Islands in the southeast.
Two hours later.
The banshees came even faster than they expected. The sea was clear and there were no obstacles at all, as if they were just going out for a walk.
Without those monsters, nothing could threaten the Banshees in the deep sea.
Ash poked his head out of the sea and looked towards the island where the sea and sky met.
It was an island several times larger than Castel, with a mountain in the middle.
Its lower half was still there, but the upper half, along with the building on top, had completely disappeared.
This used to be where the Pirate King lived. He lurked here, with countless polluted snakes extending from his body into the surrounding sea. Now only a deep pit remains.
The banshees carefully swam around the island several times, then climbed up to look at the big pit.
"Uh, Sister Ash, the Pirate King's palace was blown up with him, so are the treasures also..."
Ash shook her head slowly, she had thought about this matter a long time ago and had even asked Hughes about it.
"No, this is just where the Pirate King is. It's nominally his palace, but in reality it's just where he handles government affairs. Would you put your treasure in the office?"
The banshees occasionally deal with some paperwork, including various reports and materials. There are always some things that need to be put on paper. Their offices are located in the cathedral, right next to the banshee's duty room.
They are much taller than humans, and their furniture is naturally specially made.
The banshee who asked the question thought about the office and nodded in agreement.
In fact, except for the dragon in the story, no creature would like to sleep on treasure, let alone work.
Oh, maybe Zeus is an exception. He has a golden throne and he can't come down. In short, the pirate king's treasure should be hidden somewhere else on the island. The area of this island is not small, and only the palace was destroyed at the beginning.
There was really a huge amount of explosives piled up at that time, and Gaia almost moved all the stock on the island here.
You have to know that according to Hughes' initial judgment, Castel intended to fight a long-term war of attrition, and the amount of explosives in stock was quite considerable.
Gaia did not hold back at all and directly found all the explosives. She even remembered some remote warehouses that others had not noticed.
Although she had no expression on her face when she led people to pile up explosives, her eyes were red. She seemed to have vented all her hatred for the death of her friend in this explosion.
Ash was there when the explosion occurred. The flames and mushroom clouds rising into the sky could be seen from far away. The entire Pirate King's palace turned into a deep pit, and the nearby buildings became ruins.
Thinking back on it now, it was a shocking scene. Many people had developed equivalent worship syndrome, and Ash understood it in his heart.
Although the explosion was powerful, its range was limited after all. The damage to buildings in farther places was not so serious. Although the buildings on the island looked weathered, their main structures were still stable, so the banshees had to go in and search one by one.
The banshees searched the island for a while, and although they found several warehouses full of supplies, it was still different from the imagined scene of mountains of gold coins. After all, the extraordinary abilities of the banshees were more inclined towards the mind and combat, and the nymphs of the fire moths were better at investigating such things.
If they activate their self-binding ability, they can directly see inside through the sandstone brick wall. Although it is easy to be disturbed by supernatural powers, it is still very suitable for finding this kind of mundane treasure.
"I found it! It's about two kilometers northeast of the island. Come quickly!"
An excited voice was heard over the link, and the banshees gathered around upon hearing it.
It was a huge warehouse. A banshee was standing at the door, waving her six hands excitedly at the tribesmen: "Found it, a treasure house, super big!"
