Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag

Chapter 142 Treasure Hunt: The Beginning of the Journey

The sea breeze whistled, and the salty, damp air, carrying the cries of seagulls from afar, rushed towards us.

Standing by the sea, gazing at the boundless deep blue, I felt a mix of anticipation for the unknown journey and a barely perceptible sense of nervousness.

The stone in my hand was emitting a faint light, as if it were guiding me in the right direction.

Gong Lin and I exchanged a glance, and without saying a word, our eyes were filled with determination.

We boarded a slightly dilapidated fishing boat, and as the boat rocked, we slowly sailed into the depths of the sea.

The air was filled with a damp, fishy smell, and the sound of waves crashing against the ship's side pounded against my eardrums, much like the drumbeats of an impending adventure.

After a long voyage, they finally arrived at the mysterious island indicated by the treasure map fragments.

A sinister atmosphere enveloped the island. The ancient trees had twisted and grotesque branches, like menacing demons, seemingly telling the secrets of this land and raising my guard to the highest level.

We carefully stepped onto the island, our feet sinking into soft soil, the rustling of leaves filling our ears.

Just then, a dark figure suddenly leaped out from behind the bushes.

"Hahaha! Looks like I'm in luck, I've actually run into two fat sheep!"

A burly man with a thick beard, holding a long knife, stared at us with fierce eyes like a venomous snake.

He was a man with a full black beard!

I sensed the intense killing intent and greed emanating from him, and my heart skipped a beat. This guy was definitely not easy to deal with.

Gong Lin and I quickly stood back to back, assuming a defensive stance.

The blade reflected a cold light in the sunlight, and the air seemed to freeze, the tense atmosphere rapidly escalating.

Blackbeard was clearly surprised by our composure.

"What? Aren't you afraid? If you know what's good for you, hand over all your valuables, and I can make your suffering less!" He grinned sinisterly, seemingly confident of victory.

I sneered and took out a small silver object from my spatial storage. This was a high-tech defensive weapon that I had developed myself. It could release a powerful electric current instantly, and its destructive power was astonishing.

I raised it and pointed it at Blackbeard: "This thing can kill you instantly. Are you sure you want to try it?"

My tone was calm, but carried an undeniable air of authority.

A flicker of hesitation crossed Blackbeard's eyes. He hadn't expected us to be so troublesome, and for a moment he dared not make any rash moves.

Gong Lin also cooperated with me, taking a step forward and assuming a posture ready to attack at any time. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, and he exuded a strong sense of oppression.

"You...you guys, don't be so arrogant!" Blackbeard gripped his long sword tightly, his gaze shifting between me and Gong Lin. He could sense that we were no ordinary people.

Just then, a slightly shrill voice broke the tense atmosphere.

"Oh dear, what's going on here? What are you all doing?" Old sailor Ma Shengli walked out of the bushes with unsteady steps, his voice sharp and slightly mocking.

His small eyes darted back and forth between the black-bearded Guo Zijian and us, as if he were plotting something.

I gripped the silver defensive weapon tightly in my hand, my gaze fixed on the old sailor.

He was wearing a tattered canvas jacket and carrying a canvas bag full of all sorts of strange items; he looked greedy and cunning.

“Old Ma, we know you’re familiar with this island, but your coming here isn’t a coincidence, is it?” Gong Lin’s voice was deep and intimidating. He took a step forward, almost blocking the old sailor’s path.

I felt a strong aura emanating from him, which warmed my heart and made me stand by his side even more firmly.

The old sailor smiled, revealing a set of sparse, yellow teeth.

"Oh dear, my two young friends, you seem to be in trouble. I'm sure what you have is quite valuable. How about we make a deal? I have detailed information about the island. You give me this little gadget, and we each get what we need. Wouldn't that be wonderful?" He held out his hand, implying that he wanted my silver defensive weapon.

I gave a cold laugh and shook my head firmly.

"Old Ma, if you really have information, tell us first. We're not that easy to fool, and having what we have might not be a good idea for you."

The old sailor's face instantly darkened; he seemed to realize our determination, but he hadn't completely given up.

"You'd better think this through. This island is not as simple as you imagine. It's full of traps and monsters, and a single misstep could cost you your life. Are you sure you want to take this risk?"

Gong Lin frowned slightly, his voice low and powerful: "Old Ma, don't try any tricks. We're not ordinary people, your tricks won't work on us."

The old sailor trembled slightly at the threat emanating from Miyabi, but Blackbeard couldn't wait any longer. He roared and swung his long sword at us, the blade flashing with a cold light in the sunlight.

"Hmph, can't wait any longer, can you!" Gong Lin easily dodged to the side, instantly closing in on Blackbeard and kicking him in the wrist.

The long sword fell to the ground with a "whoosh," and Blackbeard cried out in pain, startling the surrounding birds into flight with piercing cries.

I took the opportunity to retrieve a tough vine from my spatial storage and quickly wrapped it around Blackbeard's limbs.

He struggled but could not escape, and his previous fierce appearance now looked extremely disheveled.

A feeling of exhilaration welled up inside me, as if all my unhappiness had been swept away.

Gong Lin gave me an approving and gentle look, and smiled slightly: "Well done, Qingqing."

Just then, the old sailor, seeing this, coughed lightly and said slowly, "It seems you are indeed not simple, but there are still many unknown dangers on the island, so you'd better be careful." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned and ran into the depths of the dense forest, disappearing from our sight.

Gong Lin looked at me, her eyes filled with admiration and tenderness.

The tenderness in Gong Lin's eyes brushed against my face like a spring breeze, and the warmth of his fingertips, carrying a familiar sense of security, gently brushed away the stray hairs on my forehead.

My face flushed slightly, and the nervousness in my heart dissipated. I couldn't help but lean closer to him.

At this moment, the surrounding dangers seemed to disappear, and only their heartbeats could be clearly heard.

We rely on each other, silently expressing the deep affection between us.

Not far away, the old sailor's wrinkled face looked particularly distorted at this moment. His jealous eyes stared at us like a venomous snake, as if he would rush up and tear us to pieces at any moment.

Suddenly, a piercing scraping sound shattered the tranquility.

We saw that the black-bearded man, who was bound by vines, had somehow produced a small knife. He frantically cut the vines and, like an enraged beast, pounced on us again.

His eyes were bloodshot, his face was contorted, and he looked like he had no regard for his life.

Gong Lin and I were both a little surprised, but we quickly adjusted our state.

Gong Lin stepped forward, blocking my way, and resumed fighting with Blackbeard.

Fists and feet clashed, producing dull thuds, and the intense fight instantly ignited the surrounding air.

Blackbeard's attacks became even more frenzied. He swung his fists, each strike accompanied by a whooshing sound, as if he were tearing the air apart.

Gong Lin was agile and skillfully dodged Blackbeard's attacks, but Blackbeard's reckless fighting style still made him somewhat struggle.

I stared intently at Blackbeard's movements, searching for his weaknesses. The surrounding air seemed to freeze, leaving only the muffled thuds of fists colliding and Blackbeard's heavy breathing.

Watch out for his feet!

Before I could finish speaking, Gong Lin suddenly stopped abruptly, his gaze sharp as if he could see through everything.

Blackbeard swung his fist toward Miya Rin, but Miya Rin did not dodge; instead, he quickly moved toward Blackbeard's feet.

I quickly took a stone from my spatial storage and threw it forcefully at Blackbeard's ankle.

The stone struck his foot precisely, causing Blackbeard to stumble and stagger forward. Taking advantage of the moment, Miya Rin delivered a flying kick that landed squarely on his chin. Blackbeard screamed like a wounded beast and collapsed to the ground.

"Hmph, you've finally fallen!" Gong Lin's voice was deep and powerful as he swung his fist again, landing heavily on Blackbeard's face.

Blackbeard's eyes rolled back, his body went limp, and he lay on the ground like a dead dog, completely incapacitated.

I breathed a sigh of relief, a feeling of indescribable joy welling up inside me, as if all my unhappiness had been swept away.

Gong Lin turned to look at me, his eyes filled with admiration and tenderness: "Well done, Qingqing." His words were like a spring breeze, warming my heart.

"No, no, no... don't come any closer!" The old sailor Ma Shengli stood trembling not far away, his face contorted with fear, his previous greedy expression completely gone.

I looked at him with a cold smile: "Old Ma, do you think you can escape all of this by running away?"

The old sailor nodded frantically, but dared not move again.

Gong Lin and I walked slowly toward him, each step making a soft rustling sound on the ground, as if warning him that his lies had nowhere to hide.

The old sailor's face turned deathly pale, and sweat rolled down his forehead. "You...you want to know, I'll tell you everything." The old sailor's voice trembled so much that it was almost inaudible, but his eyes revealed a hint of determination.

Gong Lin said coldly, "Speak, about the secrets of the island."

The old sailor swallowed hard, his voice low and urgent: "In the center of the island lies an ancient castle, filled with endless treasures, but also with something far more terrifying. Few who enter come out alive." Before he finished speaking, a sinister laugh suddenly echoed from the direction of the castle, as if something terrifying awaited them.

Gong Lin and I exchanged a glance, our resolute eyes revealing an indomitable fighting spirit.

We nodded to each other without saying a word and walked toward the tall and gloomy castle.

The castle gates were tightly shut, as if waiting for our arrival.
