156: The Pirate Codex is a formation

Speechless!

Red Beard and Gou San cleaned together, finally clearing the feces into the stinking ditch by the door.

The filth was gone, but the smell remained.

"Let's just make do for a few days!"

This was a city with a lot of character, called Urla.

It was said to be named after the Pirate who built this city back then.

He was probably fumigated silly, Gou San did absolutely nothing, didn't find a single treasure chest, and this guy went out for a spin, not only failing to find a treasure chest, but also losing all the gold coins on him.

Han Huohuo looked curiously at Gou San's empty wallet: "Where are your gold coins? Were they stolen?"

Gou San mumbled and couldn't explain clearly.

Red Beard chuckled beside him; he knew best how Gou San's money had disappeared. Only alcohol and women here could trick you out of your gold coins.

Han Huohuo couldn't be bothered with him either.

After getting used to the land, Han Huohuo went to scout ahead by himself the next day. Scouting was quite dangerous, so Han Huohuo didn't bring Zheng He and Gou San, letting them temporarily stay with Red Beard.

Although Han Huohuo was wearing tattered Pirate clothes, he was tall and strong with an imposing presence, clearly a very strong Pirate at a glance.

This made many old witches infatuated with him.

"Handsome, want to have some fun? I don't want money."

"Don't mind her, she's rotten. Come here, sister will give you money."

Han Huohuo fled in panic.

This city was a bit terrifying.

Emerging from the dark alleys, Han Huohuo climbed up the mountain behind. There were six main roads, all leading to the mountain peak.

Calling them main roads, they were actually just mountain paths trampled out by people walking there often.

It wasn't meeting time yet, so there was almost no one on the road.

Han Huohuo went up the mountain low-key, treating himself as an ordinary Pirate.

But he overlooked one thing.

That was, he didn't look like a Pirate at all.

When he climbed to the mountain peak, there were already more than a dozen real Pirates standing on the mountain, blocking the path.

"Kid, where are you from, sneaking around like a spy?"

"Huh? Da Ge, how did you know I was a spy? How could you tell? Do you want to teach me?"

"Bastard, we are high-level Pirates, and you, a little Pirate, dare to mock us? You must be new?"

"Ah? Not exactly new, it's almost a week!"

Han Huohuo calculated; it had indeed been a week since he put on these clothes and boarded the Pirate ship with Red Beard.

He was very honest.

This caused the Pirates guarding the stone tablets opposite to burst into laughter.

"Kid, no wonder you look so clueless, you're a newbie. This is our Pirate's sacred place, do you understand the rules?"

"Rules?"

Han Huohuo was startled, thinking, what kind of rules could there be here? Red Beard didn't tell me either.

Then a thought struck him; he took out some gold coins from his pocket, bowed and scraped as he walked over, and gave ten gold coins to each Pirate.

The dozen or so Pirates on duty were all dumbfounded.

The rules here were no loud noise, no random touching, and no having sex or defecating in the sacred square.

But, Han Huohuo gave money?

The dozen or so Pirates immediately misunderstood, blinking their eyes: "Kid, the rules here are, feel free to visit the Pirate Codex, do whatever you want, we'll pretend not to see."

"I can do whatever I want? Is it okay if I smash the Pirate Codex?"

"Idiot, if you have the ability to actually smash the Pirate Codex, you'll be the new Pirate King, and you can do anything you want."

The look in these Pirates' eyes was like they were looking at an idiot.

After taking the money, this group of Pirates immediately made way.

Han Huohuo strutted up the mountain.

For Pirates, nothing is more real than gold coins. As for smashing the Pirate Codex, that's just ridiculous.

Even if the Pirate King came himself, he probably couldn't do it either.

A huge square, with thirteen stone tablets in the center. These stone tablets were the famous Pirate Codex.

Han Huohuo walked over and touched one; it was cold, not like stone, but more like some kind of metal.

The system quickly gave a prompt.

【Stone tablet of meteor core, an extraterrestrial object, possessing magical power, never wears out.】

Never wears out?

No wonder that group of Pirates didn't care at all what he came in to do; so this thing can't be destroyed at all.

Wait?

Hold on, meteor core?

I've seen this name before.

Han Huohuo thought carefully and remembered that he had a box that could decompose into meteor core! It was the box that originally contained the White Pagoda blueprints, which was still under his bed in Tongtian City.

This thing is also a meteor core?

So, if I put it in my recycling furnace, can it also decompose into pure meteor core?

Touching the stone tablet of meteor core, Han Huohuo felt a feeling like an electric shock.

He stepped back a few steps, looking at the words on the Pirate Codex.

He wondered: "Since it's said to never wear out, then who carved those Pirate rules on it?"

Could there really be innate Pirate principles?

The writing was vigorous and powerful.

Very uninhibited.

Pirate Principle One: "Only Pirates are allowed to plunder, no one is allowed to resist; all who resist are rebels, kill without mercy!"

From a Pirate's perspective, this one also seems not wrong.

Pirate Principle Two: "Pirates can infight, but when there are external enemies, they must first unite against them."

Seems reasonable too. First deal with outsiders together, then divide the spoils among themselves; fighting over the unfair division of spoils, that's when it's legal.

Pirate Principle Three: "The strongest Pirate is called the Pirate King; all Pirates must obey the Pirate King's rule, otherwise, Heaven's Wrath!"

Huh?

This part is a bit interesting.

Is the Pirate King produced through combat? But, if the Pirate King is produced through combat, how come no one has ever seen the Pirate King?

Doesn't make sense?

Or, did I misunderstand the Pirate King's selection method?

Heaven's Wrath, what kind of killing method is that?

The first three stone tablets were relatively close, but the fourth stone tablet was very far. These thirteen stone tablets were not arranged regularly, but scattered in various places.

And there seemed to be no pattern.

They just randomly fell from the sky like that.

Han Huohuo didn't go to look at the content of the fourth stone tablet. He stepped back many steps, looking at the arrangement of the thirteen stone tablets; they seemed to have some connection, like a formation.

Just then, other Pirates came up the mountain, probably also their first time, and they all walked towards here. Before long, the mountain became lively, and a dozen or so various types of Pirates began to visit the Pirate Codex.

Both sides politely kept their distance and didn't disturb each other.

He continued to observe these stone tablets.

Han Huohuo didn't understand formations, but this formation seemed related to space-time. The Yin-Yang Eyes on Han Huohuo's forehead suddenly began to vibrate and open, and a strange path of light appeared on the square.

Interesting!

Han Huohuo arrived at the starting point of the light path and began to walk forward, following the indicator of the light.

Turn left, turn left, go in circles, turn right, move forward, to the left, to the right.......

Han Huohuo's strange movements quickly attracted the attention of others. Everyone thought: "Isn't this guy a lunatic?"
