Pirates: I, who cultivated phantom beasts, made myself emperor

Cheng Cheng followed the girl all the way down the mountain. The way down the mountain was a staircase made of stones. The rainwater flowed down the mountain along the stone stairs, like a waterfall.

Fortunately, the three of them all walked calmly. If they were ordinary people, they would probably be washed away by the current accidentally.

The heavy rain was pouring, and the sound of rain rang in his ears. Cheng Cheng felt peaceful and calm, and he could calmly appreciate the surrounding heavy rain and the apple trees all over the mountain.

The little girl jumped up and led the way. She didn't hold an umbrella but didn't seem to be afraid of the heavy rain at all. She was like a cheerful little fish, swimming freely in the water.

Through the heavy rain, you can faintly see a dark hole in the middle of the mountain ahead.

"Lord Five Emperors, we will be here soon, right in front."

After Klein finished speaking, he quickened his pace and ran over quickly.

Cheng Cheng's body flashed and disappeared, and the next moment he appeared at the edge of the hole in front.

The old man following behind took steps calmly, but there was a gap of three to five meters in each step, and he soon followed.

The cave entrance located on the mountainside is not big, just enough for two people to pass through normally. There is a bulge sloping outward above the cave entrance, which just blocks the rain from the outside world.

The rainwater flowed down the mountain, forming a small water curtain cave at the entrance of the cave. There was only splashing water on the ground near the cave entrance, but it was very dry inside.

While Cheng Cheng was secretly admiring the magic of nature, he looked inside the cave entrance and saw that it was actually a large cave, with a space of nearly thirty square meters. There were some agricultural tools such as hoes, shovels, and hemp ropes piled in the corner. .

There are also large and small woven bamboo baskets around. These things should be tools used for picking apples.

However, after Cheng Cheng glanced around, his eyes fell on the spherical stone in the middle.

Klein ran to the spherical stone stone and said with a smile: "Look, Lord Five Emperors, this is the apple house I made. Isn't it pretty?"

Cheng Cheng stepped forward and took a closer look, and found that this was a hut made of stones, a little more than one meter high, with large and small gravel blocks stuck together with soil, and it looked like an apple.

The old man followed and walked in, saying: "You stinky girl, I usually let you come to the mountain to practice swordsmanship, so why don't you come up with something like this for me secretly?

He said, when I asked you to practice swordsmanship, did you come here to be lazy? "

Klein made a face at his master, walked around behind Cheng Cheng, and said:

"Is there anything good about practicing swordsmanship all the time? Shouldn't you rest when you are tired from practicing swordsmanship? Practice when you want to practice, and play when you don't want to practice. Only in this way will I be happy.

Master, you always tell me honestly and follow nature, isn't that how it should be? "

The old man sighed and was unable to refute, and apologized to Cheng Cheng: "My lazy apprentice makes you laugh, but when she concentrates on practicing her sword, she is really attentive. All the changes in the outside world have nothing to do with him."

"She is right. Following nature is the right way. Sometimes forcing things won't work."

Cheng Cheng walked slowly to the apple with a sad look on his face. If he had not wanted to encourage others at that time and had only allowed Tuanzi to practice swordsmanship without giving her the Phantom Beast Devil Fruit, Tuanzi would not have been captured later. .

He wished he had been the one who ate the first Devil Fruit.

But what has happened has really happened and cannot be changed.

Tuanzi, wait for Master!

He put his hand on a stone in the Apple House, moving slowly. The stone was as cold as touching an ice cube.

[Congratulations, uncle, for completing the Apple House sign-in task. 】

[Reward: A Catalog of Magical Forbidden Books. 】

Suddenly, a mysterious low chant came from the entire cave. The voice seemed to come from the ancient mysterious heaven. It was unclear what the words were in the chant. Cheng Cheng only felt that it was obscure and mysterious, and full of energy.

In the sky above the Apple House, colorful brilliance suddenly appeared, shining with crystal clear brilliance.

The inside is like a crystal, shining in the void, with colorful brilliance like jade. The soft light illuminates the dim cave, and the entire cave space is filled with colorful light.

"So beautiful, so beautiful."

Klein's eyes reflected the colorful brilliance and he said obsessively.

The sound of magical chanting from distant time and space gradually grew louder, and it seemed that it had penetrated countless parallel spaces and cosmic barriers before the sound was conveyed here.

The sacred chanting has a loud voice, as if God is gently telling the secrets of the universe.

For a moment, the sound of the rainstorm outside the cave disappeared, the world was silent, and the three people could hear only the mysterious chanting of magic.

I don’t know how long it took, but the mysterious magic chanting suddenly stopped.

Cheng Cheng and the three of them opened their eyes at the same time like an old monk in trance, escaping from the indescribable state.

Whoa!

It was raining heavily outside the cave, and it was only then that the three of them noticed the sound of the rain again.

"So, I'm still here."

Klein's eyes were a little confused, as if he was waking up from a big dream.

The old man's bright eyes were observing the colorful brilliance suspended in the air, and his sword energy was like wind, rising to a higher level, lingering around him gently.

The colorful brilliance gradually dimmed. It was a thick magic book, the size of which was no different from an ordinary book, but it was nearly half a meter long.

Cheng Cheng was dumbfounded. If this book had been given to him when he was at school, he would have been frightened to death right away after just one look.

Stepping forward, he pulled down the Catalog of Magical Forbidden Books. After a closer look, he found that the cover of the book was made of red wood, and the fine lines on the wooden board could be clearly seen.

The four corners of the cover are wrapped in cowhide to prevent the corners from being bumped. There is a six-pointed star array in the center, exuding a faint yellow starlight, flickering erratically, like the heart of this magic book, beating regularly. .

Cheng Cheng had a headache. The previous skills were directly transferred to his mind. There was no need for him to analyze and understand through reading. He might not be able to learn such a thick book even after 800 years of study. .

Opening a page of the magic book at random, Cheng Cheng was instantly dumbfounded. It was full of dense English and some ancient symbols that were difficult to understand.

Some resemble a star array, some resemble some kind of animal, and some are a series of complicated gestures.

He turned to the cover of the first page to see if there was any brief introduction. Then after seeing it, there was very little English on the first page, only two short rows of letters. However, he held it in for a long time and still couldn't find it. I recognized a few poor words, all, thank you.

"System, how can I read this book as a reward? I can't read it even if I don't know the words."

[Uncle, I have mastered 12 trillion languages ​​​​and characters in all time and space in the world, and I can transmit language information to you at any time. 】
