"Before, there were five islands, why are there only four now?"
Fatty looked at the map, a few question marks appearing on his forehead.
"We did see five islands before, why is there no other island on this map?"
Zhang Tian's gaze fell upon the map before him, and he too was puzzled.
However, in the next moment, Zhang Tian understood.
This archipelago was of a curved, crescent moon type.
The entire island group was shaped like a circle, encircling a small sea trench.
"The islands we saw before should also be here, but that map was from before the war. The current islands are likely submerged by seawater."
Zhang Tian said, taking out the previous mountain map.
On this mountain map, all the mountains of Fuguó were clearly visible, or rather, the islands.
Everyone looked at the mountain map, and indeed, the previous five small islands came into view.
Zhang Tian compared the mountain map with the hand-drawn map given by the captain.
Indeed, the islands on the two maps overlapped.
"That's right, the islands we were talking about before are these, the Ryukyu Islands."
"Look here, this smallest island might have been partially submerged by the rising sea level or by missiles."
Zhang Tian said, pointing to the smallest island.
Zhang Tian estimated that the smallest island was at most about seventy meters.
Islands of this size were considered the smallest, always at risk of being submerged and collapsing.
"Four dragon heads rising, plus the submerged island, boss, the geomantic situation of this tomb seems to have changed."
Hu Bayi looked at the archipelago before him and couldn't help but speak.
Hu Bayi's expression grew more serious.
The geomantic situation of the islands before was very powerful. Now, with one island missing, the entire geomancy had not only not worsened but had actually improved.
Zhang Tian also noticed the problem.
"The original five islands have become four, and the submerged island is located in the middle of the four islands."
"The remaining four islands are located in the southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest. In this way, if arranged according to the constellations, it should be Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise. The remaining island does not correspond to any constellation group."
Zhang Tian murmured as he looked at the map.
The original Four Great Sacred Beasts, now the Azure Dragon had disappeared.
That is, it was submerged, and there were extra useless islands.
Zhang Tian needed to see it in person to clearly determine what position the island corresponded to.
"If the last island is a propitious star, then this geomancy is a typical 'Dragon Protecting Star Array'."
Zhang Tian said, and Hu Bayi nodded in agreement.
"If that's the case, boss, the person who built the tomb must be very powerful. Even if the islands were submerged, they could still change the geomantic situation in time."
Hu Bayi said, and Zhang Tian became somewhat curious about Xu Fu's abilities.
"What are they talking about?"
Wu Tianzhen whispered to Wang Kaixuan.
"No idea."
"Fatty doesn't understand, but it sounds very powerful."
Wang Kaixuan waved his hand. Fatty had no interest in these things.
"To put it simply, that submerged small island is very likely the location of the tomb."
Zhang Tian said to Wu Tianzhen.
At this moment, Wu Tianzhen's eyes lit up.
"Oh, so that's how it is. Young Master Zhang, you are truly amazing."
Wu Tianzhen immediately offered a flattering remark.
Zhang Tian said nothing more, but looked at the map.
"As for the rest, we'll discuss it later."
Zhang Tian said, and placed the map on the table for Hu Bayi and the others to study.
He himself sat cross-legged on the bed, planning to cultivate his techniques.
"Dou is a bit difficult. If Bing is about summoning soldiers by scattering beans to become invincible, then Dou is Qi, a means of attack using internal energy."
Zhang Tian thought, trying to understand the mysteries of Qimen Dunjia.
As Zhang Tian cultivated, time passed quickly.
The scene flickered.
One day later.
Along the way, there were no pirates or storms, as they were close by, and a day was not enough time to encounter such things.
In the early morning, Zhang Tian was woken by Fatty's voice.
"Boss, we've arrived, stop cultivating. A day isn't even enough time to drive a stake, might as well go home and cultivate slowly."
Fatty shouted at Zhang Tian.
Zhang Tian raised an eyebrow slightly.
Although Fatty's words were crude, they made sense.
Even with Zhang Tian's genius, the progress was very slow overnight, almost non-existent.
"Gentlemen, the ship has arrived at its destination."
At this moment, the captain's voice also came. The captain smiled at Zhang Tian and the others.
"Thank you for your trouble." Zhang Tian said to the captain, and they all got out of the room.
Outside.
A small port.
The merchant ship was docked at the port.
However, speaking of which, the scenery of Fuguó's small island was indeed amazing.
Especially these small islands, they had a sense of summer charm.
The azure sea surface undulated with the gentle breeze, and the faint sea breeze carried a hint of saltiness.
The weather was good today, clear skies with a few clouds drifting by.
Seabirds and other animals would nest on the island.
"Holy crap, this place is great. Boss, when Fatty gets rich, I'm going to buy an island too."
Fatty took a deep breath of the salty air, his face filled with satisfaction.
After all, who could refuse a life by the sea, free from worldly worries and troubles?
"Fatty, buy one when you have money later. Our mission now is to find the tomb's location quickly."
Hu Bayi shot Fatty a look.
"Old Hu, you don't understand. Fatty here is 'inserting dreams'. When I have free time and money, I'll fulfill my dream."
Fatty looked as if he had a point.
This left Hu Bayi speechless.
"Sir, we have arrived here. We will be leaving now."
The captain looked at Zhang Tian.
He was responsible for transporting people, and nothing else.
"Alright."
Zhang Tian nodded slightly. The captain, with a smile on his face, quickly returned to the merchant ship.
"It's like encountering a plague god, is it necessary?"
Fatty grumbled.
"Old Hu, give me the map, let's find a secluded spot first."
Zhang Tian handed the map to Hu Bayi.
Then, he found a large patch of coconut trees and brought out the off-road vehicle.
"It's really convenient."
Wu Tianzhen sighed with emotion as he watched Zhang Tian take out the off-road vehicle.
If he had this ability, wouldn't it make tomb raiding much easier in the future?
"Get in the car."
Zhang Tian called out, and they all got into the off-road vehicle.
"Keep going, drive out of the port, and then enter Okinawa City."
Hu Bayi looked at the map and guided Zhang Tian.
As the off-road vehicle appeared, the fishermen and gold prospectors at the port widened their eyes.
Good heavens, there's an off-road vehicle on the island? How rich must these people be?
"Are these new gold prospectors?"
"They don't look like it, they're not even carrying guns."
"Could they be from some organization? Those who can bring vehicles are not simple."
"I heard that the Navy SEALs found a lot of treasure in the conflict zone, I don't know if it's true."
The surrounding gold prospectors and fishermen began to discuss.
All these voices were heard by Zhang Tian.
From their conversations, Zhang Tian learned that there were many gold prospectors here.
"Boss, if there are gold prospectors, does that mean Fatty can play with guns?"
Fatty smiled, he quite enjoyed playing with guns.
Wu Tianzhen was also secretly pleased. If they had guns, their self-protection ability would also increase.
"Boss, something seems to be happening over there."
Not far after the off-road vehicle left the port, Hu Bayi pointed to a crowd not far away.
They saw that not far away, a group of people were gathered, seemingly discussing something.
"Let's go and see."
As the off-road vehicle stopped, they walked towards the crowd.
Upon getting closer, Zhang Tian discovered that it was three burly men selling items they had found on the island.
They had found many things, and one item in particular made Zhang Tian's expression immediately serious.
On the small stall, there was a small Yin-Yang Bagua mirror!
