Chapter 188 - 188. Cave Treasures

There were three light spots on the map at this time, and there was no golden light that Alka expected.

It was unlikely to happen.

But what if.

Although there was no light spot, Alka did not regret it. It was good enough to have a light spot on it.

He was already prepared for a blank area on it.

The three light spots were two white spots and one blue spot.

It was quite standard.

Alka did not click impatiently, but waited for Sofia to finish drawing the entire map.

Although the map is now usable, for Sofia, this map is not even a semi-finished product.

Sofia has very high requirements for the completeness of the map, and Alka must respect her.

During this period, he took over Sofia's responsibility to train Lucilia.

Personally trained Lucilia.

I don't know if it's because of the doll's body, but Lucilia's control over her own body is very fast.

If she continues to train at this level, it won't take a few days for Lucilia to perfectly control her body and her own magic.

Not long after.

The people who had been wandering around the island all returned.

After all, the island is too small.

After a little wandering, they lost interest.

Jason came over with a smile, and he seemed to be holding something in his arms.

"Did you find anything? You look so happy."

Alka looked at his expression and couldn't help asking.

The few people who came back early also turned their heads.

Jason smiled and nodded, and put the things in his arms between them.

It was a somewhat dark and dilapidated box, covered with mud and some things similar to shell barnacles.

But it can still be seen from the appearance of the box that it should have been a treasure chest used to store some valuables.

It seems that Jason really found some valuable things.

Alka fiddled with the box for a long time, and after confirming that there was no spell on it, he smashed the lid with a punch.

The dirty and dark contents inside were revealed.

He poured it all on the beach, and water gushed out of his hands, and began to wash these things.

As he washed, the original appearance of these things was completely revealed, mostly some relatively precious jewelry, diamonds, etc.

But there are quite a lot of them, and these things can be worth a lot of money.

Looking at these things, Jason's smile became brighter: "This trip is not bad."

For Jason, who really loves treasure hunting, finding treasures can make him happy.

After simply satisfying their curiosity, everyone retracted their gazes. After all, they were just some jewelry and were not worth their attention.

"Okay, it's done, take it."

Sofia finished drawing the map in his hand, quickly dried the marks on it, and then attached a layer of protective film to it.

In this way, a map was perfectly made.

Arka took the map and looked at the exquisite map and the precise markings on it.

I couldn't help but praise: "Your skills are getting better and better."

It's not an exaggerated compliment, but it's true.

"Hehe, of course." Sofia snorted twice and said with a smile.

You know, she didn't do nothing in the six months she stayed in the cathedral.

Arka looked at the map in his hand, blinked, and the light spot on the map appeared again.

However, this time it was different from the light spot he just saw, because there was one less white spot.

One white dot is missing...

Thinking of this, Alka turned his head and looked at the rotten box at Jason's feet.

So if the treasure is taken away by someone else, the light spot will disappear directly... It is equivalent to the treasure no longer existing, because it has been obtained by someone else and has a new owner.

This is the first time Alka has encountered such a situation, and he has kept it in mind.

Reaching out and brushing the map, he clicked on the white dot.

[Ordinary treasure]

[Difficulty: Seeker]

[Popularity: 0]

[Treasure information: None]

A three-no product, except for the difficulty that must be marked, there is no other information.

I don't know the information, nor the specific value of this treasure, but the difficulty does not require strength, so there is no need to care.

Alka is more concerned about the blue dot, and brushing the blue dot with his hand.

[Magic Treasure]

[Difficulty: Giant Hunter (Four Spirals)]

[Popularity: 6]

[Treasure Information: None]

Well...it's the classic three-no thing again, but it doesn't matter. In this kind of ghost place, it would be even more outrageous if I had this information.

However, Alka couldn't help thinking about this difficulty.

This difficulty actually requires four spirals directly, which is higher than the requirement for treasures.

After all, we have left the home sea and there is no suppression from the Virgin Mary.

Three spirals and four spirals are still just for the weak.

If you know how to meditate and have meditation spells, three spirals are just the level that an ordinary person who has just entered the extraordinary world can achieve with a few years of hard work.

Or it is the minimum requirement for mastering treasures.

I should get used to the difficulty of obtaining treasures in the future, and the requirements for strength are getting higher and higher.

Although the requirement is four spirals, it is not considered difficult for them.

The difficulty of the treasure and its value have never been closely related.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the higher the difficulty of the treasure, the less bad the things you get.

For Alka, some treasures are really like picking up money.

I wonder when I can pick up a treasure like picking up money?

But the name of this difficulty is Giant Hunter.

Will the thing guarding the treasure be a huge creature? Why didn't I notice it?

The island is so big, and the blue dot seems to be on the side of the island, not in the center.

If there is a giant protecting the treasure, it should not be discovered.

Alka looked at the map and then raised his head.

"It smells like treasure. Are you interested in joining us?"

"Of course."

"Why not."

Seeing that everyone seemed to be somewhat interested, Alka nodded. After all, this was their first treasure hunt since leaving their home sea.

"Then let's go, everyone. I'll lead the way."

The white dot and the blue dot were not far apart, so Alka planned to deal with the more difficult blue dot first.

Take everyone through various shipwrecks.

Come to the blue dot marked on the map.

As expected, there was still nothing on the surface, except for the shipwrecks buried in the mud that had sunk many years ago.

Looking at Alka stopping and observing the surroundings, everyone was already familiar with it.

Sofia walked up directly, and silver ripples began to spread from her feet to the surroundings.

Begin to detect whether there is any hidden space around, using a more detailed, smaller, but more precise exploration.

Sofia began to move forward after exploring, and then walked back and forth on the ground in front, and came directly to the island near the coast.

Only then did he nod with satisfaction.

Turning around, he said to everyone: "There is a cave deep down below, and the tunnel connecting the cave is below."

Sofia pointed to the bottom of the coast and said: "Underwater."

Everyone turned their heads and looked down.

There were many ships floating on the sea below. The wreckage followed the current and kept hitting the cliff, becoming more broken.

"Let's go there first."

Arka pointed in that direction and jumped down directly.

There was a huge stone platform extending downward from the cliff, enough for them to stand there.

Everyone followed and jumped down.

After landing on the boulder, Alka said to Pororo: "Pororo, go down and take a look at the tunnel."

"Okay."

Pororo nodded and replied, then jumped directly into the sea.

In less than ten seconds, Pororo poked his head out of the sea.

"There is a tunnel entrance, but the entrance is still too small for me, but it seems safe after looking at it."

Hearing this, Alka nodded, then turned his head to look at everyone.

Thinking that there is a high possibility of fighting underwater in the future, after all, it is a giant hunter.

Alka said directly to Julia: "Julia, the two of us will go down, and the rest of us will be on guard on the shore and pay attention to the surrounding situation at any time."

Hearing Alka's words, Julia nodded and jumped directly into the sea. In mid-air, her legs changed into fish tails.

Alka followed closely behind, and a mirror mask appeared on his face, reflecting a long sea fish.

His neck and cheeks were covered by the mirror, and with the special effect of the broken mirror, it became a respiratory system similar to fish gills.

Watching the three disappear on the sea.

Jason had a long-handled rock-shaking gun in his hand, with emerald vines and a golden frame on the gun.

The diamonds dotted on it exuded a faint magical glow. This was a magic gun customized from the cathedral.

He raised the gun and began to be alert.

At this time, Alka and Julia, who were underwater, also came to a dark underwater cave under the leadership of Porro.

The magic lantern emitted a faint light and automatically floated into it under Alka's control.

After making a gesture, Porro nodded and stood guard outside the cave.

Alka turned and nodded to Julia, and the two swam inside.

Since he could breathe underwater, Alka was not in a hurry and carefully checked both sides of the underwater cave.

Looking at the traces on both sides.

Although there was corrosion from the sea water, it can be seen from these traces and the situation at the bottom of the cave that before this, the artificial traces on this cave were still provided for walking.

Because there were pits on the walls of the cave on both sides for lighting tools.

It looked a bit like a candle, Alka reached in and touched it, and could feel something like old grease.

The tunnel of the entire cave is upward.

That is to say, this tunnel should not have been submerged by sea water a long, long time ago.

The sea water gradually became thinner, and then Alka poked his head out from the bottom of the water and looked at the situation in the cave with the help of a lantern.

There is still a small section of tunnel in front.

Julia also floated up behind, and her legs changed from fish tails to human legs.

The two walked forward cautiously.

From the traces around, it can be seen that no one has been here for a long, long time.

Following the tunnel, they finally came to the inner space.

Arka raised the lamp and looked.

The space in this cave is not small, but the whole space seems to be relatively low.

It is only about two meters high. If it is a little higher, it may only be able to bend the waist.

After all, the human body size in this world is generally above 1.7 meters, and it is very normal to have a body of more than two meters high.

At this time, the whole cave is extremely humid, with a strong smell of decay, like a lot of wood piled up, and the musty smell emitted by rotten due to moisture.

So indeed many wooden boards were seen around, these wooden boards were broken and placed around.

Many wooden boards were spliced into something similar to furniture.

Someone has been here before.

There are traces of a fire in the middle of the cave. Judging from the size of the fire and the traces around it, there were not many people living here before, but not many either.

There should be about six or seven.

Arka continued to walk a few steps inside and saw the wall at the bottom.

Several corpses were placed in front of him.

These corpses were hugged together tightly, with some black cloth strips left on their bodies.

Looking at their postures, these corpses should have foreseen their death before they died, gathered together, and waited for death to come.

Or did they keep each other warm and then suddenly die?

Arka carefully checked around the corpses.

No obvious scars were found on the bodies of these corpses, except that these people had some fractures, but most of them were gathered in the arms and legs.

Finally, between the two corpses, under a long strip of cloth, he saw something like a manual.

Alka pushed aside the cloth and picked up the book.

Since he didn't know how many years ago this thing was, Alka's movements were unusually gentle, for fear of damaging it.

He flipped it gently.

Fortunately, the paper used for recording in this thing was not real paper, but something like cloth or leather, which was not so fragile.

But at least it recorded some information.

Took a look.

He could still understand the words on it.

It was the language used in the northern area of the Home Sea.

It was almost certain that these corpses were people who came out of the Home Sea.

He opened the book and read it carefully.

[13... Day, the sun is high

We are ready to leave the Home Sea, and we already know... the movement. ]

Many of the words on it have long been blurred by time, but we can still guess what is written on it based on some of the fonts that can be seen clearly.

Alka just flipped through it patiently.

And Julia behind him also began to look around in this cave.

From time to time, she waved her hand, as if she was testing something.

After patiently reading the information recorded in this booklet, Aka had a rough guess.

Except for the pages on which the information is completely unclear.

It can be roughly known that this is a group of people who came out of the Home Sea a long time ago. Like many people, they do not have a full understanding of the outside world.

This is a team without treasures, but the team members are all people with the strength of two spirals, and the captain is a team of three spiral strongmen.

At least for the Home Sea, they are strong.

They survived the initial storm in a fairly solid spell ship, but the ship was also in ruins.

Then they were attacked by a sea beast when they were out of the storm, and the ship was destroyed.

Fortunately, there was a lifeboat next to their ship, and with the help of this ship, they barely floated along the wreckage of the ship to the island.

Without the ship, they could only find a place to rest.

Fortunately, they came out with them

The ships also suffered huge losses, and a lot of supplies were washed up on the island.

They survived the most difficult period.

Then they began to recover at the entrance of the cave.

But as the supplies were consumed, they knew they couldn't just sit and wait for death, after all, there were not many sea fish in the surrounding waters.

The survivors were divided into two factions.

One faction was ready to continue living on the island until the next ship passed by. These people were all seriously injured in the sea.

That's why the corpses either had broken legs or broken hands.

In the absence of medical supplies, it was really difficult for them to recover, and the situation worsened until they could no longer recover.

The other faction was naturally ready to rely on the wreckage on the island to rebuild a barely navigable ship.

Even though they knew that doing so was only a matter of life and death, they were unwilling to sit and wait for death on the island.

Naturally, they each started to act according to their own ideas.

The group of people left.

The group of people stayed in the cave until the food became less and less, and they were unwilling to eat each other.

They committed suicide in the cave.

Left behind this booklet.

This is the information that Alka roughly guessed, which may not be completely accurate, but it is almost right.

Simple and straightforward.

Putting the booklet away, Alka looked at a pile of rotten wood not far away.

Walked over and pushed the wood blocks away, revealing a wooden box underneath.

Opened the wooden box, there was something wrapped in a layer of cloth like oilcloth.

The cloth was opened, and the blue outline of the things inside was revealed.

Still according to the previous rules, only the most valuable magic item had a blue outline, and other items did not have such a performance.

These things were already covered with thick dirt.

The problem is here.

Where is the giant?

What Alka has been on the lookout for is the one marked by the difficulty on the map.

The strength should reach the giant of four spirals.

However, no matter what is recorded in the manual or he directly opened the box and looked at the things inside.

No one found the origin of this monster.

Could it be the same as the volcano?

You have to take the things to alert the monster guarding the treasure?

Alka can't guarantee it, but he can only think so.

Looking at the things in the box, Alka directly packed them all and stuffed them into the ring.

But still nothing happened.

Strange.

After thinking about it, Alka buried the bones on the spot. After all, this was the cemetery they chose for themselves.

Then he nodded to Julia behind him.

The two silently dived into the water from the passage behind them.

He started to go back the same way.

As for the guard, he didn't notice it at all.
