As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 766: Golden Treasure
"Don't get wet in the rain! Come in and take shelter from the rain!"

Everyone was relieved that the strong wind had been successfully stopped. They walked towards the cabin to shelter from the rain, taking off their clothes and wringing out the water.

Chen Guangyu said, "Okay, the first team will guard the first half of the night, and the second team will patrol in the second half of the night. The rest of you, rest!"

But in such storms, I'm afraid not everyone can fall asleep as soon as they lie down. Military discipline prevents the soldiers from making noise, but the ups and downs of their breathing seem to make their minds enter the waves. Everyone prays for calm weather the next day.

Jiang Ran lived on a high floor, looking down at the outside scene through the window. The trees on the Dongliao Island were blown to and fro, with broken branches flying everywhere. The animals on the island were shivering and hiding in their caves. The sea could be gentle as if it could accommodate everything, but when it became violent, it could also destroy countless lives.

The wind and rain lasted for about half the night, and perhaps it sensed everyone's prayers, because when I woke up the next day, the weather was sunny again.

Some large fish were stranded on the beach. The black-armored soldiers all had smiles on their faces and were ordered to pick up some precious sea fish.

"Hey, I found several small fish. We are in for a treat today!"

"Hey, come and look, is this gold? Such a big piece of gold!!"

When everyone was happily picking up fish, suddenly a few people shouted.

"It must be gold! The texture is exactly the same as my gold coins! Oh, we are so lucky! We can actually pick up gold on the beach! And it's this big!"

"Hurry up and hand it over to His Royal Highness the Prince! Hehe, we are the first to discover it, maybe we will get a reward!" A dark-complexioned middle-aged female soldier spoke with a rural accent. Thinking that the prince might give her a reward, her eyes narrowed into a ball with love, looking like a real money-grubber.

Someone tried to pick up the "gold" with a stick but was immediately stopped.

A captain of the Black Armor Squad stepped forward and said, "This was discovered by the soldiers of my squad first, so don't take credit for it. Also, don't touch it. The sea is full of strange things. Maybe there is a monster disguised as something tempting. Let's report it to the adults first and let the knowledgeable adults make the judgment!"

There is a reason why everyone is so vigilant. Previously, a soldier coveted treasure and tried to grab a very delicate and gorgeous thing that looked like a gem with his bare hands. However, he did not expect that the gem-like thing was actually a poisonous sea worm. As a result, he died due to lack of timely treatment.

So there was a rule that soldiers must not act rashly when encountering something they are not sure of.

A few people were asked to guard this thing that looked like gold, and someone went directly to report to Chen Guangyu. It happened that Jiang Ran had just finished washing up with the help of the servants, and when he heard the noise, he got off the boat to see what was going on.

I saw dozens of people surrounding a large golden object that looked like a branch. When they saw Jiang Ran and Chen Guangyu coming, they spontaneously made way for them.

"It really looks like gold, shining brightly." Chen Guangyu said with his eyes wide open, "But it also looks a little bit like gold."

The color of this object is noble golden, exuding a restrained and luxurious atmosphere. There is still a lingering scent of sea water on it. The dazzling sunlight shines on it, making the color even more vivid.

Some people wondered if there was a natural gold mine here, and that this piece of "gold" was blown here by the waves, and they ended up picking up a bargain.

The speculation about the gold mine made everyone excited. If the gold mine was really discovered, everyone would become rich!
Some people looked at it carefully and felt that it didn't look like gold. Some even suspected that this piece of gold was not gold at all. "This shape is like a branch, as if it is a carefully crafted handicraft. Gold mines shouldn't be like this, right?"

Jiang Ran took out her gloves and put them on, holding the golden branch in her hand. After receiving it, she found that the thing that everyone was discussing with great interest might be just a piece of soft golden coral. "It's not gold, it's soft golden coral, which can bring wealth and good luck."

Soft golden coral is a treasure found only in the depths of the vast ocean. If it were not washed up by the sea water, ordinary people would not be able to see it at all.

Soft silk golden coral can be used as medicine, but there are many medicinal herbs on the market that can replace its efficacy. It would be a waste to simply make it into medicine.

However, it is a symbol of good luck, wealth and mystery. The symbol here is not a psychological effect. As a fantasy thing, it really has this magical power.

"Your Highness said it was soft golden coral, so it is absolutely correct!"

"Did you hear that? His Highness said it can bring good luck and wealth!"

"As the ones who saw this treasure, aren't we all blessed?" Everyone was very happy, thinking that they would definitely encounter more treasures after following the prince out to sea this time.

Jiang Ran rewarded the first few people who discovered the soft silk golden coral, which aroused the envy of everyone and made them wonder why they did not have such a good eye.

Some people even ran around the beach to see if there were any soft golden corals.

But such good things can only be said to be hard to come by.

Jiang Ran did not tell the crew the specific purpose of this voyage, only that they wanted to explore and find out more about what kind of islands or magical things there are further out in the ocean. They might have to travel another two or three hundred kilometers.

It was only the second day, and people had not yet felt bored. With the discovery of soft golden coral, everyone was even more excited. They decided to travel as fast as possible while the weather was fine.

The thing that is most abundant on the sea is fish, so everyone just picked up the lively fish they saw on the beach and put them into baskets. After two quarters of an hour, everyone got on the boat one by one. After Chen Guangyu counted the number of people and made sure that no crew members were left behind, Henghai No. 2 moved away from Dongliao Island and continued to move forward.

After getting on the boat, the unhappiest person was probably Mo Sheng, who continued to be seasick.

Fortunately, the magical beasts in the Spirit Refining Realm had stronger endurance, and after another two days of sailing, Mo Sheng's seasickness symptoms completely disappeared.

After discovering Dongliao Island, Jiang Ran had more trust in the Map of Despair and was more excited about the magical Void Island.

However, the group did not drive straight east along the way. Sometimes they deliberately avoided the dangerous areas marked on the map. Sometimes they drove to some small islands in order to rest on the shore.

Fifteenth day at sea.

Everyone could clearly feel that the magical beasts that sometimes appeared at sea had become much stronger, so they didn't dare to be as relaxed as they were in the first few days, and had to pay attention to the situation on the seabed and in the sky at all times!

Yes, we also need to keep an eye on the sky. For example, right now, a toucan is coming like a gust of wind, with its wings spread out, three or four meters wide. With its quick eyes and quick mouth, it wants to snatch away a black armored soldier.

"Swish, swish!" A soldier reacted quickly and shot three arrows in succession, interrupting the giant bird's attack.
