Chapter 1548: The Secret of Pirate Island

Dike looked at the shrub that had pierced his shoulder in disbelief, letting out a hysterical scream.

This was a type of plant on the island, very soft and easily snapped, but now this soft plant was like a sharp thorn, piercing through his shoulder and pinning him to the wall.

Chen Yu walked in slowly, looked at Dike, who was almost pinned to the wall, sneered, and flicked his right hand; with a *pfft* sound, another plant shot out, pinning this guy firmly in place.

"You..." Although Dike was in excruciating pain, his consciousness was still relatively clear; he stared fixedly at Chen Yu and let out a roar of rage.

He had never imagined that he was just one step away, yet he had fallen short at the final moment.

However, as his gaze shifted, he saw Zhou Ran also walk in, which made his expression even more furious.

"Wang Cheng, are you alright?" Zhou Ran, Chen Bo, and the others walked in, and seeing Wang Cheng severely injured, she was terrified and hurriedly stepped forward to help him sit down.

"I'm fine, why did you come?" Wang Cheng let out a sigh of relief; his vision went dark, and he nearly collapsed to the ground, but when he saw Zhou Ran, he still felt very happy: "I have been worrying about you these past few days, fearing that your ship would enter without knowing the situation."

"Before I reached the island, I sensed something was wrong; Dike's behavior was different from usual, so I kept an eye out and slowed the ship down." Zhou Ran glared hatefully at Dike, who had blood bubbling from the corner of his mouth: "Sure enough, this guy had a problem; he picked up a gun and started shooting at me."

"Then are you alright?" Wang Cheng slumped into a chair and took a deep breath.

He had been tortured quite severely, and his body could be said to be covered in wounds; if not for his extraordinary willpower, he probably wouldn't have made it through.

"I'm fine, thanks to Mr. Chen, otherwise we would have been in real danger this time. Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen Yu." Zhou Ran introduced: "Mr. Chen, this is Wang Cheng, whom I mentioned to you before."

"Mr. Chen, thank you." Wang Cheng nodded slightly toward Chen Yu.

Before he could finish thanking him, he let out a muffled groan, and a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out.

"Alright, you are too heavily injured, don't disturb your Primordial Qi. Those people just withdrew and left only a few people here; what did they go to do?" Chen Yu asked.

When he and Zhou Ran and the others came in just now, only a few small soldiers were left outside, even though this place had been heavily guarded before.

Just as Chen Yu was considering whether to launch a frontal assault, a Lao Hei led some people away in a hurry.

So Chen Yu charged in; as for the few small soldiers, even if they had weapons in their hands, it was just a matter of a casual gesture for Chen Yu.

After dealing with those guys, the group finally came in to rescue Wang Cheng.

"There is a secret on this island." Wang Cheng sighed and said: "They came to me with such great fanfare precisely for that secret."

"What secret?" Chen Yu looked up at Wang Cheng, revealing a strange expression.

Honestly, when he first arrived at this place, he felt something unusual, because whether looking at the layout of Pirate Island or its aura, the surroundings were an excellent place to hide treasure.

Chen Yu believed that there was a secret on the island, because how could such a good layout not have some secret?

"This secret cannot be told; it easily makes people lose their way." Wang Cheng hesitated and said; truthfully, he only wanted this secret to rot in his stomach.

Because the things inside were enough to drive anyone crazy; after all, it was said that the things inside could control this world.

"Wang Cheng, don't worry, Mr. Chen is not an ordinary person; ordinary things have no temptation for him." Zhou Ran saw Wang Cheng's concern.

"It's not just a ship's worth of things. Before I came, Pirate Island was a deserted island, but there are people guarding it here, and every successive guardian has had to keep the secret of that place." Wang Cheng gritted his teeth and said: "Because there is a treasure vault in that place."

"It certainly isn't as simple as a treasure vault; if it were just a treasure vault, it really wouldn't have any temptation for me." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Of course it isn't that simple." Wang Cheng steadied himself and said: "Inside there is a Throne Scepter of an Egyptian Pharaoh."

"It is said to be the scepter of the last Egyptian Pharaoh; that Throne Scepter can bewitch people's hearts, and it is said that possessing it allows you to obtain anything you want." Wang Cheng said.

"So that's how it is." Chen Yu revealed a look of sudden realization: "I understand, the Egyptian Pharaoh's Throne Scepter, I have heard of it too."

"It is said to be the possession of some god, which then drifted into the human world and became the Pharaoh's scepter, but the fact that this thing actually exists is somewhat incredible."

"Whether it exists or not, I don't know, because I have never gone in to see it. Previous pirates in the area have tried to go in to find the Pharaoh's scepter, but they all failed." Wang Cheng sighed and said.

"When I took over this place, the previous leader of the guardians repeatedly warned me never to enter that place, otherwise nightmares would accompany you for the rest of your life." Wang Cheng said.

"So, has Ye Er already gone inside there now?" Chen Yu pondered for a moment.

"Yes, I couldn't stop him, and he was the one who found the entrance to the passage. I don't know what will happen inside, but..." Wang Cheng hesitated in his expression as he said this.

"But if he accidentally releases something, then everyone who has been to this island will die, right? No matter how far you run, you will die?" Chen Yu instantly guessed what Wang Cheng was struggling with.

"That's right, that's what I mean. The Throne Scepter is actually a type of Curse; if someone accidentally triggers the Curse, then everyone within the range of our island will die." Wang Cheng said.

"I don't believe it." Chen Yu laughed: "Others might die, but I won't, though I won't stand by and watch people die."

"Mr. Chen, what should we do now?" Zhou Ran asked.

"Can you keep your subordinates in check?" Chen Yu glanced at Wang Cheng.

"This time it was carelessness, but as long as this kid is dealt with by me, other problems really aren't problems." Wang Cheng grinned.

"Golden Sore Medicine, it can be used externally and taken internally; you will recover quickly." Chen Yu took out the medicine and said: "I will go handle the matter of the secret passage; you just focus on handling the matters on the island."

"Good, great kindness requires no thanks; I will remember Mr. Chen's favor." Wang Cheng took the medicine and nodded slightly at Chen Yu.

"Haha, no need to thank me, we are all friends." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Mr. Chen, you need a helper, right? I'll go with you." Chen Bo stepped forward and said: "Since that place is a secret, then I am interested in exploring it."
