Chapter 1664 The Other Side of the Conspiracy

After landing on the island, the pirates cleaned up on the beach, polished their scimitars, loaded gunpowder into their muskets, and waited for the cooldowns of their various skills (the NPCs also had similar settings, but they couldn't see the game menu or anything like that; they just relied on their senses)...

In short, after preparing for five or six minutes, they lined up and set off towards the dense forest on the island.

The person walking at the front of the line was Mad Eye.

This was also expected. When Blackbeard mentioned bringing this guy along, Feng Bujue, Honghu, and Snow all guessed that Mad Eye would be used as a guinea pig to explore the way.

Following closely behind Mad Eye was one of Blackbeard's cadres.

This cadre's name was Nessru. Judging by his appearance, he was about forty or fifty years old, but his actual age might be hundreds or thousands. He wore very ordinary short sleeves and mid-length pants, and a very ordinary scimitar and musket were also equipped at his waist. If there was anything particularly prominent about him, it would be his "cake head" hairstyle.

One could imagine... at sea, maintaining this kind of "standing up" hairstyle was undoubtedly a very difficult task. Even Blackbeard, the captain, would inevitably be blown by the wind and drenched by the rain... Therefore, in a sense, Nessru's cake head was more able to highlight his distinctiveness than any clothing or item.

Following Nessru was Brother Suantou and his trio. As the backbone of the Queen Anne's Revenge, their experience and combat power could provide Nessru with good assistance in the event of emergencies.

Next, there were five ordinary sailors known for their combat skills, following Brother Suantou and the others, ready to provide support at any time.

The above ten people were the vanguard of this "treasure hunting team." They were the most dangerous group in the team, and they had to be vigilant at all times, otherwise they might be caught off guard by something like "Huangsha" (locust sand) and lose their lives.

Blackbeard and the three players were located behind those ten people, in the most relaxed and safest position in the team.

Looking further back, behind the players, there was an old cadre from the ship, Mr. Voguer.

This grumpy old sailor with harsh words was naturally no ordinary person. With him in charge of the team, Blackbeard could save a lot of worry.

Behind Mr. Voguer were basically all ordinary sailors. The other two cadres Blackbeard brought were left at the very end of the team to guard the rear.

Those two were a pair of demihuman brothers. The older brother was called Mark Tida (literally, "large hoof"), whose upper body was human and lower body was a horse, and the younger brother was called Mark Bocu (literally, "thick neck") (Note: Although these two names look like English, the surname comes first), whose head was a horse and the part below the neck was human.

Both brothers were the type with simple minds and extremely developed limbs, roughly the type that... "is very suitable to be a pirate, but could never be a captain in this lifetime, and if he really became one, it would quickly lead to the destruction of the ship and the death of the crew."

It was not difficult to see from the team and formation arranged by Blackbeard that the difficulty of this script was not high. As long as the players were willing, they could stay in this team all the way to the end.

Originally… it should have been like this.

However, even the system could not have predicted that there would be an "uncontrolled" unexpected factor intervening.

In fact, when that "master" appeared, the direction and difficulty of the entire script had already gone out of control.

The difficulty of this script now could not be measured by the general sense of "normal" or "nightmare," because whether it was "normal" or "nightmare," it was ultimately a summary of a series of causal events within the system's control.

But what the players were experiencing now, like the "superdimensional invasion," was not a situation that the system could control within the "rules of the game."

So, what would happen next... no one knew.

…………

While Feng Bujue and the others were following Blackbeard's men through the dense forest of "North Island," on the Queen Anne's Revenge, the hunchbacked man with scabies all over his face who called himself "Ken" also took action...

"That guy has already landed on South Island, right? This despairingly high energy reaction... I wonder if Feng Bujue has discovered it." Ken was sitting in the corner of the cabin with a bottle of wine, talking to himself.

"What if he discovers it? Can you guarantee that he will stand on our side?" Ken was still speaking, the voice unchanged, but the tone was completely different.

"Heh... that's true, no one can predict that man's thoughts." Ken changed back to his previous tone and laughed.

"Feng Bujue's appearance is just an accident. In my opinion, we don't have to involve him. Anyway, when we decided to carry out this mission, we didn't intend to borrow the power of a third party."

"Hehe... 'that guy' certainly doesn't want to involve Feng Bujue, right? After all, that's Feng Bujue... 'turning other people's hard-earned plans into bubbles, and making the whole world follow his own plans to walk on the evil path' is his forte."

"You mean, involving him would increase our chances of success?"

"That's right...

"In the current situation, we are 'destroyers,' and 'that guy' is the 'operator.'

"In terms of strength, we are in an absolute disadvantage and cannot fight her head-on.

"Our only advantage as 'destroyers' is that we can take the initiative and don't need too many rules. After all... even if we can't deal with 'that guy,' it's still easy to clean up the minions of the Huanmo (illusion demon) Church.

"Under this premise, Feng Bujue's intervention and disruption... will definitely greatly increase our chances of winning."

The other tone listened to these words and was silent for a few seconds before saying, "But... even assuming that Feng Bujue will stand on our side after understanding the relevant information, in terms of hard power, he is definitely not a match for Twenty-Three."

"Ah... I know, the current Twenty-Three, including you, me, and those three players, can't do anything about it either. However... what I'm considering is other 'possibilities.'"

"What is it?"

"Hmph... haven't you realized it?"

The other tone did not answer.

Two seconds later, the first tone continued, "Why didn't Twenty-Three directly attack our ship when our ship and the Brown Algae approached? She has undoubtedly noticed our existence, hasn't she?" He paused, "Not only did she not attack, but she also cautiously disappeared outside a certain range."

The other tone thought for a moment, "Because she doesn't want Feng Bujue to discover her?"

"Correct." The first tone responded, "Her landing on South Island is probably also to keep a distance from Feng Bujue; obviously, she can very accurately estimate Feng Bujue's 'detection range,' so she has been avoiding him."

"This... can be used."

"Yes... let's get off the ship too."

Having said that, this "hunchbacked drunkard who was talking to himself in the corner" in the eyes of others... stood up.
