Pirate Sequence: Start with Outlaws

"Even if there are no treasures of the Four Emperors and Eight Generals in the Forbidden Forest, given its own particularity, it is a place full of opportunities."

At this time Randy asked for a shot of craft beer, took a big sip, and wiped the foam from his mouth.

"There are just some risks."

Seeing this, Lu En thought about it for a moment, and then asked Randy: "You just said that you gained a special ability after leaving the Forbidden Forest. Can you tell me specifically what it is?"

"Hehe, that's fine." Randy smiled, "Fifty gold coins."

"Here you go." Luen expressionlessly pushed fifty gold coins in front of the other party.

After Randy carefully inspected each gold coin, he put it into the storage space with a smile, and then said mysteriously: "The abilities I gained are spiritual, for example."

After a second's pause, he snapped his fingers.

Rune frowned.

Just for a moment, he actually felt like he was in a trance!

His current mental strength has reached a full 500, which is more than double that of non-mage students of the same sequence.

Even an ordinary mage at Sequence 7 would not have much higher mental power than himself.

In addition, I also have spiritual defense items.

The guy in front of me, who is only at the beginning of Sequence 8, can actually affect himself by snapping his fingers?

Even if it only lasts for less than a second, it is enough to prove the power of this ability.

Seeing Lu En's thoughtful expression, Randy was very satisfied.

He said: "This ability is very strong! It has been tested in the practice field. Even people from Sequence 6 will be affected by me. Besides me, several other surviving guys also have additional abilities."

At this point, he stopped and looked at Lu En.

Lu En raised his eyebrows and paid fifty gold coins again.

Randy's face burst into laughter and he said: "The remaining five guys who survived have obtained the five characteristics of fire, vines, flying, object control, and tearing. The six of us have more characteristics than ordinary people." The ability is many times stronger.”

"These abilities are pretty good." Lu En nodded approvingly. The five advanced abilities are indeed very valuable.

Even I don't have the ability to fly before I start the fourth stage of ascending to the gods.

Randy glanced around, then Luen raised his hand and set up a soundproof barrier.

Randy whispered: "These are not the most important things. The most important thing I discovered is that the abilities we obtained are related to our encounters in the Forbidden Forest!"

He paused again and rubbed his fingers.

Lu En narrowed his eyes and gave out another fifty gold coins.

Randy smiled and said: "For example, before I fell into coma, I encountered a large snail that was more than five meters high! That snail seemed to be able to speak human words and control people's minds, so I obtained the ability to influence the mind. Ability."

"Others also had the same adventure when they were in a coma. The creatures they encountered before they fell into coma are related to the superpowers they acquired later."

"This is important news." Lu En thought slightly.

If we follow what Randy said, can we follow fixed operations to obtain the corresponding abilities in the Forbidden Forest?

By making the acquired abilities controllable, does that mean that you can constantly refresh your abilities?

When Luen told Sir Sheriff this idea, he frowned.

After careful thinking, he took a breath and said: "Theoretically it is indeed feasible, but no one has ever practiced this idea before, or in other words, they did not have the ability to practice it."

"After all, every time you enter the Forbidden Forest, it is a new adventure. Until now, no one can understand the entire forest and know all its secrets."

"Take Randy and his team the last time they entered the forest, only a quarter of the thirty-two-person team came back successfully."

"The chance of successfully returning after entering once is only one in four. If you enter twice, the chance is only one sixteenth. If you enter three times, it is only one sixteenth."

"It's just a simple addition, but the chance of successful return is exponentially reduced."

"So your idea is very dangerous."

Lu En nodded, "You are right, but everything depends on the specific situation after entering."

"The Forbidden Forest is not that easy to deal with." Jazz shook his head slightly, "If it is really so easy to obtain abilities, then I don't know how many people would take a gamble. Because the chance is so small, everyone keeps away."

"The name of the Forbidden Forest is not in vain, everything in it follows the word 'taboo'."

"And the rules are different in every Forbidden Forest."

"Rules." Lu En looked at Randy aside, "Would you like to come with me?"

When Randy heard this, he shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, no, I won't go. My life is still useful."

"Three thousand gold coins."

"You can think about it." Randy licked his lips. This was indeed a number he couldn't refuse.

After a moment of hesitation, he asked: "Do you really want to go to that place? I can at most take you to the vicinity and not enter it."

"Five thousand."

"I want 10,000 gold coins!" Randy Lion said loudly.

"good."

"You're really good at judging people!" Hearing Lu En's promise, Randy's hesitation was instantly wiped away. He finished the draft beer in front of him and breathed out a sigh of relief, "I have been very adventurous since I was a child. Then I really want to go to the Forbidden Forest again, I wasn’t satisfied with it last time!”

Seeing Randy's change of attitude, both Carter and Lysa showed contempt.

Only Lu En was not surprised.

Money is indeed a bad thing that can change human nature.

Also a good thing to use to get a handle on the situation.

"Without further ado, let's set off." Lu En greeted Jazz.

"Have a good trip." Jazz glanced at Randy thoughtfully, and then pushed a piece of paper to Lu En, "Open it when you get there. This will be helpful to you. If you can come back alive, give it to me. In exchange for a 'Heart Fruit', I think this shouldn't be difficult for you."

Within three hours, the four of them rented a small boat and went out to sea.

The boat rents for 2 silver coins per day, with a deposit of 1 gold coin.

It is the kind of "transportation boat" that can just move around, but has little value.

Because he was going to find the Forbidden Forest, Luen had no idea of ​​flying the Queen there.

Who knows what will happen to the Queen after a few of them enter the Forbidden Forest.

Randy stood at the bow of the ship, counting the ten thousand gold coins given by Rune with great interest.

There was a big pocket full, and the color of gold shone dazzlingly.

Along the way, this guy was immersed in the world of gold.

Only Lu En urged him to remember to point out the specific location.

After wandering around for more than fourteen hours, Lu En and others finally arrived at the place Randy mentioned.

A gloomy sea.

"We were passing by here at that time, and then suddenly we saw the island."

Only when he got here did Randy remember the fear of being dominated.

"After you encounter the island, you can't escape. No matter which direction you drive, you can't escape!"

When he said this, he couldn't help but tremble all over, "Um, can I leave now? I can refund you a thousand gold coins, and I'm already here anyway!"

Randy held the gold coin pocket tightly, "Fifteen hundred gold coins are fine! That place is really scary! I regret it!"

"Are you there?" Lu En said calmly.

"Well, it's near here. I can even feel the breath of that weird island." Randy's breathing became rapid, "No, no, no, I have to leave quickly! Hulu, huh, huh."

But before he finished speaking, he felt something strange.

Why can't I suddenly say what I want to say?

My throat seemed to be leaking, and the world in front of me seemed to be spinning upside down.

Oh, my head is flying.

Randy took one last look and saw the knife in Rune's hand, and had only one thought in his mind.

Such a fast knife, but it's a pity for my gold coins.

Only then did he understand why Jazz said "bon voyage" instead of "bon voyage" before leaving.

It turned out that he was talking to himself.

Luen skillfully performed last-minute blows on Randy's body, sealed it, and burned it.

After confirming that there was no means of resurrection within his own knowledge, he picked up the bag containing 10,000 gold coins in front of him again.

The bag was light in his hand, lighter than a human life.

Randy's insatiable greed has already disgusted Rune, damn it.

However, as Lu En was a pirate, even if he didn't feel disgusted, the 10,000 gold coins the other party held was enough to be the reason for his death.

Killing people and seizing treasures is nothing more than a common occurrence.

Little Carter didn't care about Randy's death at all. She took the chart and kept adjusting the direction of the ship, trying to trigger the adventure in the Forbidden Forest.

At this time, Lu En opened the note given by Jazz before.

Then he frowned.

——

[Forbidden Forest Rule No. 176]

[1. Walk along the path in the forest, do not turn or go back, otherwise you will get lost in the forest and never come back]

[2. No one can use "title" or "name" to describe anything in it, and can only use unique and broad semantics to describe it]

[3. When encountering creatures in the Forbidden Forest, you cannot accept any non-physical gifts from them, and you cannot eat any food they give]

[4. When you encounter an abnormal creature and ask for help, you need to observe its behavior. If the other party shows a threatening attitude, you can consider helping. If the other party shows an intimate and harmless behavior, do not approach it]

【5】

——

There are nearly thirty rules in total, densely written on the paper.

Rune kept it in mind and passed it on to Carter Jr. and Lysa.

The ship wandered in the nearby waters for nearly four hours, but the mysterious island Randy mentioned was still not in sight.

But none of them showed any impatience.

Lu En sensed in his heart that an invisible force was approaching them.

This is a deep intuition.

"Southeast, one nautical mile." Lu En said.

Little Carter immediately turned the ship's bow and moved forward according to Lu En's words.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, when they entered the predetermined sea area, a small black and green island appeared in front of everyone.

The entire island is two or three meters higher than the sea level, taking on a semicircular platform shape.

It doesn't look big, but above the island is a strange forest.

If viewed from the direction of Lu En and others, this small island looks like a smooth skull covered with bamboo-like upright hair.

Kind of creepy.

"It's this guy." Little Carter was extremely excited.

Looking at her expression, Lu En seemed to be impatient to go up and chop down all the trees in the forest.

Then put it in your bag and take it away.

"There are always some valuable things in strange places. Although I can't tell them apart, I can take them all away." This is Carter's consistent thinking. Luen patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, play with it, turn around." "Okay!" Carter immediately turned the bow and headed in the opposite direction. Luen has been paying attention to the path of the strange island behind him, wanting to see how the "sudden" appearance in Randy's mouth was. As a result, when they were getting farther and farther away from the island, the island suddenly disappeared! It disappeared very abruptly, just like a map was suddenly deleted from the layer. When he turned around, the island had already appeared in a closer place! "Turn around again!" The ship immediately turned 180 degrees and moved away from the island! Luen stared at the island again, and the same thing happened as last time. However, he caught a strange clue from it. This island seemed to have locked onto his aura just now.

"Forget it, it's almost done." Lu En looked at the island that was less than 500 meters away from him, knowing that there was no point in trying any further.

So he simply let Little Carter dock on the shore.

Stepping on the rocks on the edge of the island and jumping lightly, the three of them stepped onto the island.

The dark green forest in front of them was almost without light, but it had a magic that attracted people to enter it.

"Remember the taboos, don't violate them." Lu En said.

"Okay, the most handsome and manly man on the entire island!" Little Carter cheered.

Lu En patted her head lightly, "Let's go."

The three of them officially stepped into the forbidden forest!

The moment they stepped into the forest, an irresistible force enveloped Lu En's whole body.

The scene in front of him fell into darkness.

When he regained his sight, a gloomy path had appeared in front of him.

The patterns on the trees on both sides looked like human faces with bloody mouths.

In this quiet environment, it seemed as if they would be resurrected at any time.

Rune didn't care about these, but paid more attention to the creatures hiding in the forest.

Behind the leaves and between the dead branches, countless eyes were watching him.

Little Carter and Lisa had disappeared, and they should have been teleported to other places.

He was not very worried about this.

After all, Little Carter's life value was much more exaggerated than his own.

Even if he died here, Little Carter would not die.

Lisa also had a lot of trump cards and was fully capable of self-protection.

Rune adjusted his breathing slightly, calmed down, and walked forward along the path.

Whether it was the clues to the treasure of the Four Emperors and Eight Generals, or the strangeness of the island itself, it was worth his exploration.

Even if he didn't find the pirate's treasure, he had explored enough footprints as a pirate and could still be promoted.

"The most handsome and manly man on the entire island, I found something here!"

After Rune walked for half an hour, Little Carter's voice came from behind.

Her voice was extremely happy, and it seemed that she had discovered something incredible.

Rune turned around and saw an open treasure chest in front of Little Carter.

The treasure chest was filled with colorful soul beads.

There were a lot of purple soul beads, and even golden and red soul beads!

"The most handsome and manly man on the whole island, come here quickly, I have many other treasure chests here!"
