The True Path of Pirates

The three of them raised their heads as high as possible and stared blankly at the tree crown, but their minds became clearer and clearer, and their mental state improved a lot.

"Not surprisingly, the plants here should emit a special gas. This gas is not harmful to the body, but it can arouse people's negative emotions to a certain extent."

"Well, that means that what Dadi and I just felt... and Ruiden's recent depression are all because of it?"

"It should be, and..."

Ruiden still raised his head and looked at the tree crown, but while looking, he changed his steps and muttered something.

"Here, here, and here...yes! That's it!"

Reiden seemed to understand something. He squatted down, took out a pen and paper from Vicky's backpack, and then spread it on the ground to sketch. From time to time, he raised his head and continued to watch.

"Riden, what did you find?"

"..."

The focused Ruiden automatically blocked Dadi's voice. He just kept sketching and finally drew a strange pattern on a piece of paper.

"Look, let's put our heads down first. We may have to keep our heads up from now on."

Dadi and Vicky twisted their somewhat stiff necks and came to Ruiden's side, looking at the pattern he "carefully" drew.

"This is?"

"It feels a bit like...a maze?"

"Yes, it's a maze!"

Ryden turned his head to look at the two of them, and pointed upward with his finger.

"This toxin is actually a reminder that we should always pay attention to the tree canopy above when we are new. In fact, the maze of Maze Island is not on the ground, but exists above the tree canopy! Look carefully!"

The two of them raised their heads curiously and carefully observed the tree crown. Sure enough, they soon discovered that some branches formed unreasonable lines. When these lines were combined, they actually turned into a pattern that resembled a maze!

"This part of the map is not complete. Next, we need to continue to collect canopy maps of other areas. Dadi and Vicky, we will work separately, but not too far apart and communicate at all times."

"Okay, got it."

The three of them separated in three directions while constantly sketching patterns on the paper.At ten o'clock in the night, the three of them gathered under a big tree, analyzing the map by the light of the fire.

"Riden, do you want to try barbecue? We don't have much food..."

"Uh, no, I'll trouble you with these things from now on."

"Great! No, I mean, no problem, leave it to us!"

Ruiden looked at the fire helplessly. After another test, he found that his lack of life skills had nothing to do with the toxins in the dense forest, and he completely gave up on his life talents.

After simply eating some tuber food, the three of them combined the maps they collected during the day, and soon a brand new map was formed.The location of the exit has also appeared on the map!

"Very good! This is the area we are in now, and the upper left is where Vicky is exploring. In this way, we can easily determine the direction!"

"Well, that's right. We can finally get out of this maze!"

The faces of the three people all showed joy, and their lives these past few days had made them miserable.

"Light more fires and let everyone have a good rest tonight!"

"Okay! Dadi, come help."

"Yeah, no problem."

"How about I come to help..."

"No! No need! Just lie down!"

"Forehead……"

Ruiden looked at the two busy people, his eyesight slowly blurred due to fatigue, and he soon fell asleep.

Early the next morning, after carefully checking that there were no signs of plant spiders on their bodies, the three of them followed the markings on the map and began their journey to find the entrance.

Along the way, the three of them kept determining their direction, and finally got rid of the mark marked by Dadi before.Although the surrounding scenery still hasn't changed much, the map of the tree canopy keeps telling them that they are getting closer to the exit!

...

In the communications room of the Navy Headquarters, many idle admirals crowded here, admiring the ugliness of the contestants.

"Flying Squirrel, your little brother can't do it! He still hasn't found a solution on the fourth day. Look, he's angry. Hahaha!"

"Tch, this kid...but this island is indeed very evil. What is the current highest clearance record?"

"The fastest record is 16 hours set by Lieutenant General He when inspecting the facilities, and the second most common customs clearance time is about 5 days. However, Lieutenant General Karp set the slowest record with 28 days. No one should be able to beat this record. break……"

"..."

All the generals were silent. After the old man cleared the Maze Island, it took half a year for the Maze Island to be repaired before it was restored to function.Therefore, Lieutenant General Karp was also completely blacklisted by the Naval Research Institute and was prohibited from participating in all facility inspections, even though Karp himself applied repeatedly...

"Hey! Look at this natural boy!"

"Should you just transform into elements, close your eyes and rush forward? Others can't imitate it!"

"The direction is also close to the exit. What a lucky boy."

Smoker's behavior attracted the attention of a group of officers. However, when the time reached 4 days, more than half of the people had been eliminated. However, many contestants had also discovered the secrets of the canopy and began to explore based on the canopy map.

"Lieutenant General Kizaru!"

"Ho ho ho, no need to be polite, I'm just here to take a look out of boredom."

Since the Fish-Man Pirates have been very low-key recently, Kizaru's work has also shifted to paying attention to the dynamics of Fish-Man Island in the headquarters, so he has a lot of free time, which just suits Kizaru's wishes.But it was a bit boring to rest all the time, so Kizaru came to the headquarters' monitoring room to watch the progress of the game, just for fun.

"Hey, the boys are working hard. Hey... isn't this?"

"This is the 13th batch of students Ruiden, Dadi and Vicky. It seems that they have found a way and are not far from the exit."

A light flashed in Kizaru's eyes. He pinched his chin and stared at Ryden in the projection.

"This is the Seven-Star Sword boy. He is a D-level talent but has an S-level evaluation. He also has a killer weapon like the Seven-Star Sword. What a blessing..."

No one was looking for trouble.Although Flying Squirrel and others are also lieutenant generals, they are not as high as the candidates for general, not to mention there is no need to touch Kizaru's bad luck.

Recently, General Zefa supported Redon in the uproar of the Seven Star Sword incident. This provoked Kizaru, who had a master-student relationship with Zefa, but was a stranger to him. Of course, he could not look down upon this "little junior brother". .

"Since you are such an outstanding newcomer, you naturally need a higher challenge, Hoho. I remember there is a good toy in the maze island. If you activate it, consider it as my gift to this "junior brother". Hoho. Hoho.”

"Kizaru! What are you doing? You have no right to interfere with the game!"

"Oh? Flying squirrel..."

Kizaru turned his head and glanced at Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel with his cold eyes.The flying squirrel was not afraid and met Kizaru's gaze.

"You may have forgotten something."

"Ok?"

Kizaru turned around completely, his tall body bringing great pressure to the flying squirrel.

"I am the commander of the naval scientific research force! Maze Island is within my jurisdiction! Hoho. Why don't you guys start it quickly!?"

"Yes!"

The scientific researchers on the side were already so frightened that they broke into cold sweats. At this moment, they activated the special device of Maze Island without hesitation.

"I will report everything you do today to the Warring States General and Teacher Zefa!"

"It's so scary, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel, then I'll be waiting for your good news here."

"snort!"

The flying squirrel shook off his coat and left angrily.Kizaru also turned to the screen, ready to enjoy the "performance" for a while.

"Come on, little junior brother, ho ho ho ho..."
