Chapter 585: Chapter 584: Sea Chart, Devil’s Reef_1
Two years ago, the Old Village Chief had received help from the Lin Clan siblings, and he still vividly remembered the young girl’s exceptional medical skills.
Following the familiar path in their memories, the siblings arrived at the Village Chief’s house, where they were warmly welcomed by the grateful family without having to introduce themselves.
“Grandpa Village Chief, this time Qingluo and I came to revisit the old place and we want to take my brother on a boat trip to the coastal islands,” Qingluo said.
Lin Qingluo, generously facing the Village Chief’s family’s eager gazes, tactfully expressed her intention: “May we borrow one of the Village Chief’s fishing boats for a couple of days?”
“Miss Lin, you can use the boat whenever you want, no need to be polite.”
Old Village Chief excitedly stumbled over his words.
“Miss Lin, which islands do you want to visit? My brother and I can row the boat for you.”
The two sons of the Village Chief volunteered themselves.
“There is no need to bother the two of you,”
Lin Qingluo politely declined with a smile: “As for the islands, I wanted to ask Grandpa Village Chief, since you have been fishing at sea for many years, have you ever seen any strange illusions, such as mirages?”
“No.”
After pondering for a while, the Old Village Chief and his two sons shook their heads together.
“What about strange things at sea?”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes flickered slightly: “Like a terrifying whirlpool somewhere, where fishing boats are drawn in once they get close?”
“Well, yes.”
Old Village Chief’s mind tightened, and his eyebrows showed some seriousness.
“Where is it?”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes brightened and her eyebrows raised.
“Tie Niu, fetch the sea chart.”
The Old Village Chief stroked his beard and ordered his eldest son.
“Alright.”
Tie Niu quickly agreed, lifted the curtain, and left the room. In no time, he fetched a map of the nearby islands from his own room and laid it out in front of his father and the siblings.
Lin Qingluo’s gaze fell on the sea chart, her breathing briefly paused.
Just at a glance, she could clearly distinguish the differences between the map before her and the one on the sheepskin scroll.
The four pirate islands formed the same pattern as the Big Dipper, but the North Star was missing.
“Miss Lin, I have fished at sea for decades and visited every nearby island. I have never encountered any illusions.”
Old Village Chief pointed to the sea chart with serious looks: “However, every time we get close to this area, we encounter storms, thunder and lightning, accompanied by whirlpools beneath the sea that pose a risk of capsizing the fishing boats.”
“Father, the place you’re talking about is…”
Tie Niu looked at the direction pointed by the Old Village Chief, and suddenly his face changed as he exclaimed: “Devil’s Reef?!”
Devil’s Reef?
Lin Qingluo’s eyes lowered slightly, her thick and long eyelashes trembled, concealing the flash of surprise in her eyes.
The place pointed by the Old Village Chief was the location of the North Star on the sheepskin map.
From this perspective, the treasure map was not a baseless tale.
“Why is it called Devil’s Reef?”
Lin Yixuan, curious as a child, couldn’t help but ask with his face tilted upward.
“Ah woo.”
Baoya also barked twice, indicating that he wanted to know too.
“Devil’s Reef consists of three protruding reefs above the sea surface. Each of the reefs is surrounded by terrifying whirlpools, and any fishing boat that gets close will be sucked in.”
Tie Niu still felt horrified: “Nobody dares to approach that area – not even my younger brother and I. We always stay far away from it when we go fishing.”
Interesting!
These three reefs might be the three Array Eyes. Someone must have set up an Illusion Array near the island to prevent fishing boats from approaching.
