162: Jack's Compass

Everything is going well.

Zheng He came to find Han Huohuo, his expression not looking good: "Lord, come take a look, the Black Wizard seems a bit off!"

Zheng He was also a ruthless person, thinking that once the Black Wizard was in his hands, he could definitely handle him. Who knew this dark Elves was extremely tenacious and had already exceeded his control.

There was really no way, so he had to come find Han Huohuo.

The two of them arrived at the terrifying underground prison. The prison was located a hundred meters underground, with magic traces carved all over the walls. In the deepest part of the dungeon, the Black Wizard was imprisoned.

A black mass was spread on the ground, bubbling inside, with countless wriggling maggots crawling around in it.

Han Huohuo looked for a long time, not understanding: "You mean..... this puddle of black mud is the Black Wizard?"

Zheng He was a bit awkward: "Lord, this is the Black Wizard. I only tortured him a little, and he turned into a puddle of this kind of monster, incredibly foul-smelling, and full of all sorts of strange Zerg inside. I've never seen this kind of monster before, there's really nothing I can do."

Those Zerg were all the power of black magic.

There was no human form at all.

Han Huohuo was now also a magician. After looking for a long time, he sighed: "The Black Wizard is finished. He was consumed by black magic and has turned into a puddle of a monster. This is all from the living human hearts and livers he ate before, which have now become him!"

The two of them were talking.

Suddenly, that puddle of black water boiled, and a foul-smelling black mist flew into the sky. Han Huohuo suddenly drew his Ice Blade and pointed it at the black mass in the sky.

An ancient voice sounded in the air.

"I sacrifice my body, I sacrifice my soul, using ancient witchcraft as a guide, I curse you, this evil Lord, Han Huohuo. All your future will be cursed by me, forever unable to rise again."

This was the Black Wizard's voice. This fellow had been hiding in this filth all along, just waiting for Han Huohuo to come over. He already hated Han Huohuo to death.

This voice was too terrifying. Then the black cloud dispersed, and all the maggots burst apart, scattering everywhere filthily.

Han Huohuo quickly cast a shield to cover himself and Zheng He.

The entire dungeon was filled with a strange and disgusting smell.

The system chimed.

[Warning: You have been subjected to an Eternal Curse by the Black Wizard at the cost of his soul. The current effect is unknown. In one month, a random dark curse will travel across the dark world and land upon you, and it can never dissipate.]

Han Huohuo's face was ashen.

You really tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice. This fellow isn't afraid of death, is he?

Of course, he didn't know that once the Black Wizard couldn't eat the hearts and livers of living humans, black magic would backfire, making life worse than death. If it weren't for trying to screw over Han Huohuo, the Black Wizard would have already turned to ash.

Among the seven Pirate Chiefs, which one was easy to deal with?

It almost made Han Huohuo depressed!

He could get hit by this too?

Even the system said that the curse effect would only be visible after a month, and the effect was on its way from the dark land?

What in the world is going on?

Zheng He realized he had caused a huge disaster, his face looked bad, and he was a bit embarrassed.

Han Huohuo thought for a long time. He couldn't blame Zheng He for this. Who would have thought the Black Wizard had this move?

He was just cursed, it's not like he died immediately. It's better than being cut down by the Pirate King's sword. He could always find an expert to save him from this thing in the future.

Han Huohuo's biggest advantage was his ability to be optimistic.

But there were no clues left for going to the Falling Star Sea. Since this scoundrel was dead, he had to find another way.

Han Huohuo returned to the manor, sighing. Mu Jiu gently poured him a cup of tea. After going around in circles, Han Huohuo still felt that tea was the best to drink.

"What's wrong? What happened again?"

"The Black Wizard is dead. I've been busy for half the day, killing more than half of the Pirates in the Devil Sea, but I still haven't made any progress."

Mu Jiu smiled slightly: "Silly, you're pretty much the Boss of the Devil Sea now. I don't believe that in such a large ocean with so many Pirates, no one knows how to get through the Falling Star Sea."

Han Huohuo hugged Mu Jiu: "My little dear, have you thought of a way? Quickly tell me."

Mu Jiu put her arms around Han Huohuo's neck and laughed: "In this world, money can move mountains. As long as you pay enough, you can find any immortal or demon."

Han Huohuo slapped his head, suddenly realizing. He had indeed been stuck in a rut and had forgotten the most basic method.

Soon, he opened the forum and started posting a bounty.

"Brothers, whoever can find out how to get to the Falling Star Sea, I'll give you a bounty of three hundred thousand gold coins."

"Da Ge, is the amount of gold coins correct?"

"Three hundred thousand?"

"That's right. Whoever finds me a way to get to the Falling Star Sea, I'll give you three hundred thousand gold coins. Are you questioning whether I have money?"

"Boss, you're awesome!"

"Boss, wait for me. I'll go ask right away. Once I find the method, I'll contact you immediately."

"Boss is so generous. I think this is doable. I'll go look."

.......

Han Huohuo confirmed the bounty amount, and all the Lords took a deep breath. Gold coins weren't like wood or stone; three hundred thousand was a huge sum of money, perhaps more than they could earn in a lifetime.

As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. Soon, everyone was mobilized, starting from the Lords, quickly spreading the word to the natives and the Pirates.

Unconsciously, another ten-plus days passed.

It seemed that crossing the Falling Star Sea was indeed very difficult, but finally, news arrived.

It was a Lord named Tong Shuangyu.

"Da Ge, I found a Pirate. He says he can get through the Falling Star Sea. As long as you give him some reward, he can take you there."

"Oh, did he say how to get through the Falling Star Sea?"

"I asked. He said he has a treasure, an ancestral compass, that can guide the direction and avoid dangerous areas. He's ninety percent sure he can pass through the Falling Star Sea without being discovered by ancient sea monsters."

Han Huohuo's eyes lit up. Ninety percent sure? That's good!

"Alright, bring him to Wind Whisper Island, and we'll talk in person."

"Okay, I'll set off right away. I can reach you in three days."

Hanging up the communication, Han Huohuo's heart pounded. He had been working on this for a long time. He should have known that posting a bounty would be enough. Why go through all this trouble?

However, upon further reflection, with his arrogant personality, he would clash with the Pirates sooner or later. It might be more convenient to deal with the Pirates first before taking action.

He was definitely not wrong!

Three days later, Tong Shuangyu brought a Pirate to Wind Whisper Island. This Pirate was a young man who looked a bit foolish and dazed.

"What's your name?"

"Respected Lord, my name is Jack!"

A very Western name. Han Huohuo nodded: "I heard you have a magical compass that can guide directions on the sea?"

Jack carefully took out an ancient compass from his Arms and showed it to Han Huohuo.

The system immediately captured the compass's information.

[Anti-Steering Compass]: A magical compass that can always find the correct direction at sea. Only Pirates of the Jack family bloodline can use it correctly.

For some reason, Han Huohuo found this foolish little Pirate particularly displeasing to the eye. With his shifty eyes, he didn't look like a good person. He was considering whether to kill him and take the compass.

But as soon as he saw the description of the compass, Han Huohuo immediately gave up.
