The ghost sword hero of the pirate

After leaving the Kingdom of Bliss, the Nether Pirates' progress was much slower in the next few days.

On the third day of departure, the Fugu encountered a hurricane in the South China Sea. Even though the Fugu had been loaded with a large amount of gold, it was blown left and right by the hurricane.

Fortunately, the Pufferfish cabin is supported by a special metal frame, otherwise it would have been torn apart by the wind.

This hurricane directly caused everyone to deviate from the route, causing it to take two more days to reach the destination.

Finally, on the eighth day after leaving the Kingdom of Bliss, a mountain peak reaching into the sky came into view of the pirate group.

Although the Red Earth Continent is generally in the shape of a belt, you can only appreciate its breadth when you are truly inside it. The peaks in front of you are branches extending from the Red Earth Continent.

And where the branch is farthest from the red earth continent, there stands a cone-shaped volcano.Only two-thirds of the volcano's peak is visible, while the upper third is always shrouded in thick clouds.

"I don't know where the highest mountain in the world is, but this must be the highest volcano."

Elvis looked at the mountain peaks getting closer and closer and let out a heartfelt sigh.

As a resident of the Red Earth Continent, he had seen between a hundred and eighty high mountains, but this was the first time he had seen such a flaming peak.

"That should be Island Cloud, Tesla, dock the Fugu there."

Fierro pointed to an apparently solid cloud above the volcano and gave the order.

"Captain, there is a village over there"

More than ten minutes later, when the Blowfish landed on the edge of the island cloud, Lafitte made the discovery immediately.

People in the village also saw the Pufferfish, and several villagers rushed towards it under the leadership of a middle-aged man.

"Great, finally someone is here again. Welcome to Ataka Village. I am the village chief here, Ojos."

Seeing everyone, the leading middle-aged man didn't care about the pirate costumes of several people. He had even been looking forward to the arrival of the Netherworld Pirates for a long time.

After exchanging pleasantries with the man named Ojos, everyone was warmly invited into the village by these villagers.

Entering the village, Ojos said a few words to the villagers and then led them to his tent.

"Hey, Uncle Ojos, why do the people in your village always look at us like this?"

Lafitte felt uncomfortable when he remembered that after entering the village, the villagers of Ataka Village were like hungry wolves who had not eaten meat for more than ten days and saw fat sheep.

Hearing Lafitte's complaint, Ojos forced an apologetic smile on his honest face and explained: "I'm really sorry, we haven't seen outsiders for a long time..."

Ojos's explanation allowed everyone to understand the history of this village and its tragic current situation.

It turns out that as a starting point for going to Sky Island, pirate ships and expedition ships would choose to set off from here every once in a while. However, due to the harsh environment and uncertain factors, most people died here.

And those who were lucky enough to survive were trapped here, struggling to survive for generations, so they were overjoyed every time they saw someone arriving.

They hope that these outsiders can take them away from this place isolated from the world. Even if they don't take them away, they will be very satisfied even if they give them some daily necessities.

"It's okay to give you some daily necessities, but I have a request."

Although Ferro sympathizes with the plight of these people, he will not take these people away. Now the Fugu cannot accommodate these people at all, and even if it can, he will not take these burdens with him.

"That's great. As long as you can give us some supplies, we can ask for anything."

Ojos quickly agreed, knowing that if he missed these people, the villagers would hate him.

"My request is simple. I heard that there are a lot of seastones in the volcano below. Please lead me to find them." Ferro said.

"Why are you going to Del Salado?"

Ojos was startled at first and shook his head randomly: "No, you can't go there now, otherwise you will die."

"Del Salado"

Ferro was interested in the name, but ignored what Ojos said next.

"Oh, this is the name given by the indigenous people under the volcano hundreds of years ago, which means salt eye, so we followed suit.

"Ojos explained. Seeing that everyone was very interested in this, he continued: "Del Salado is about 7000 meters high, and few people have been able to reach the top.

It has two craters. When there is wind, the clouds disperse and you can see its full view, just like a pair of eyes. Because it is full of salt eye crystals, it is called salt eye. "

Hearing the word salt eye, Ferro and Tesla looked at each other and said at the same time: "Okay, let's go to Del Salado."

"Go and go on your own, I don't want to die."

......

Half an hour later, under the horrified eyes of the villagers, Ferro and Tesla grabbed Ojos and jumped directly from Ataka.

“Ah ah ah I’m going to die, please help me.”

Accompanied by the wails of Ojos, the three of them arrived at the top of Del Salado.

Once here, without the cover of clouds, Ferro could clearly see the entire volcano.

This volcano has two craters, one filled with rolling lava and the other a boiling volcanic lake.

The boiling of the volcanic lake produces a large amount of water vapor. If you look closely, you will see small clouds rising together with the water vapor from time to time. It is not known whether they are sea clouds or island clouds.

"It seems like this is it. This tastes right."

Coming to the edge of the volcanic lake and smelling the salty smell in the air, Ferro confirmed.

Tesla on the side picked up a gray stone, squeezed it hard, and said: "Captain, it is a sea-floor stone, but the purity is not high."

The three of them continued walking, climbed up to the circular crater, and then descended into the crater.

The crater is not vertical, but has a certain slope. The surface of the volcanic lake only occupies half of the crater's area.

Here, the temperature has reached the limit that ordinary people can bear, so Ojos can no longer move forward, and Ferro has to let him stay where he is.

Ding

Ferro tried it with his sword. The hardness of the ground here made him happy that Hun Shang only cut shallow marks on it.

This shows that the purity of the sea floor stone here is very high, and their trip this time was not in vain.

grumble

Just as the two were immersed in the joy of finding the sea floor stone, the water in the volcanic lake suddenly began to bubble in large numbers, and more and more bubbles appeared.

"Ah, run, that monster is coming out," Ojos yelled.
