The head of urban peach blossom

Chapter 422 The Pirate's Paradise

After chatting for a while, Alice suddenly tilted her head to look at Hua Xiaolou, and said with a complicated expression: "Xiaolou, thank you!"

"Why did you suddenly think of thanking me?"

In fact, Hua Xiaolou could roughly guess what the princess was thinking, but she still asked with a smile.

Alice said seriously: "Regardless of whether I can practice or not, in short, being able to explore, take risks, and see some miraculous things is also a challenge and experience for my life.

You heard what I said to my mother that day. It was actually from the heart, and it was my dream all along.Without you, it will always be just a dream, impossible to realize. "

These words made Hua Xiaolou quite emotional.

Speaking of which, Alice is a majestic princess, who has countless luxurious lives that ordinary people can't imagine.But, as she said, behind the luxurious life, there is an invisible shackle, which makes her lose a kind of relative freedom.

In fact, let alone her, including Hua Xiaolou, they also deeply understand this point.After the movie, his every move became the focus, which was equivalent to a kind of bondage.

The greater the fame, the more scruples.

Therefore, Hua Xiaolou couldn't help but sighed: "Alice, I can understand your feelings. Regarding your cultivation, I will try my best to find a way. But I want to tell you that although a practitioner is powerful, the process of cultivation is full of challenges. Can you bear the setbacks, pain, and even crisis?"

"I can do it!" Alice said with firm eyes.

"Princess, princess..."

At this time, a maid hurried over: "Henry seems to have discovered something, saying that he wants to see the princess immediately."

"Oh? I'll go there right away!"

Hearing this, Alice and Hua Xiaolou were a little surprised, and hurriedly left the deck and walked towards the cabin.

"His Royal Highness, Xiaolou..."

Seeing the two people appear, Henry greeted them with some excitement.

"After my confirmation with Batu, it is indeed an ancient sea chart, which should have been drawn by a certain pirate. Judging from the text on it and the map, it is indeed related to Death's Chest..."

"Great!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Xiaolou was overwhelmed with surprise, and said repeatedly: "Henry, you've worked hard, thank you so much."

"Ha ha!"

Henry patted Hua Xiaolou's shoulder excitedly and said: "Don't thank me, I should thank you. My whole life has been researching the secrets of the deep sea, especially the magical sea area of ​​the Caribbean, full of Countless mysterious legends are deeply fascinating.

When we were young, Batu and I went to sea many times, and it can be said that we narrowly escaped death.The first half of our lives can be said to have been spent in the vast sea.But we have no regrets, because we have witnessed too many things that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

The Dead Man's Coffin is also what Batu and I have been looking for... This ancient map should not be complete, but we can generally see some points from it..."

Not long after, Henry led the two into a room.

In the room, Batu held a magnifying glass and was still studying it intently.

"Batu, Her Royal Highness and Xiaolou are here..."

"Ah? Haha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Batu was also an enthusiastic old man, greeting him with a smile on his face.

"Don't be too polite!"

Alice smiled and waved her hands, then walked to the table and looked at the map.

Batu immediately explained: "Your Highness, based on these ancient pirate descriptions, and Henry and I's judgment, the map should point to a large strait.

That large strait is known as the most mysterious, dangerous and magical place in the Caribbean Sea.It is quite wide, and the terrain is quite complicated, with countless hidden reefs, whirlpools, caves and so on.

It is precisely because of such bizarre landforms that the area is also a paradise for pirates.They are entrenched there, easy to defend but difficult to attack..."

In fact, I have heard a little about this small flower building in the big strait.

Its reputation may not be as well-known as the Bermuda Triangle, but for adventurers, its charm is unmatched.And in history, there have been several large-scale naval battles here.

The Great Trench, Prehistoric Creatures, Ghost Ships, Dead Soul's Coffin... These classic legends all originated from here.Some people even say that there is a star base deep in the Great Strait.

It is also said that the Great Strait actually leads to the end of the sea.At the end of the sea is another world...

Countless magical legends attract countless adventurers to explore the secrets one after another.Some people have indeed made a fortune, but more have disappeared into the vast ocean.

"Batu, I have also heard about that large strait. It is said that it is like a labyrinth. Even the most advanced navigation system will fail, causing the ship to lose its way. It may even hit a rock or be swallowed by an undercurrent..."

"Yes, it's true!"

Henry said with a serious face: "Batu and I ventured deep, but our ship suddenly sank and got sucked into a vortex."

"what?"

Alice was taken aback, and couldn't help asking: "Then, how did you escape?"

"Honestly, it's a mystery!"

Henry looked at Batu, and the two looked at each other with wry smiles.

"We thought we were going to die, but we didn't expect to wake up later. We sank in the sea, but when we woke up, we stayed in a cave. There were still some shipwrecks and the body of a companion in the cave. In addition The whereabouts of a dozen or so people have disappeared.”

"The cave?"

Alice couldn't help being surprised by such a bizarre thing.

"That's right, this is a cave connected to the sea. According to my analysis with Batu, the undercurrent should be connected to the underground river in the cave, so we managed to escape..."

Hearing this, even Hua Xiaolou was afraid for the two of them.

No wonder the relationship between the two has been going on for decades, this is the real life and death brothers.

"Although that large strait is extremely dangerous, it is also full of unknown mysteries and surprises..."

Batu's eyes shone with nostalgia.

"Back then, we accidentally broke into a small island with only a hundred residents. However, their language and living customs were completely uncivilized and primitive.

Although we can't understand their language, we can judge from their utensils and living environment that we should be outsiders breaking into their lives for the first time.

To be honest, neither Henry nor I have figured out how they reproduced from generation to generation.After all, that island is very small, and there are only about a hundred people..."

"Yeah, there are too many mysteries in this world."

When mentioning this matter, Henry also felt infinitely emotional: "This is why Batu and I were obsessed with the sea back then. Because there are so many secrets hidden in the sea, although it is full of danger, it is also full of a kind of fun of exploration .

It's a pity that I am old now and my body is not flexible, otherwise, I would not stop this kind of exploration..."
