Chapter 37 The Dragon Egg Lost Its Vitality

"Dragon bones? How many are there? Take me to see them immediately." Gavin, who heard about the existence of dragon bones, excitedly threw down the map in his hand, and pulled Hassan to take a look.

Soon, in an underground treasure house, Gavin saw the dragon bones. This is a very well-preserved dragon bone, not the fragmented state that Gavin thought.

Gavin simply estimated that the dragon's wingspan could reach 8 meters and its length was not less than 11 meters. It was obviously an adult dragon. For some reason, the dragon bones would end up in the treasure house of a pirate leader.

Gavin put his hand on the head of the dragon bone and felt the magic contained in it. However, the result disappointed him a little. There was indeed magic in it, but it was not much for this huge dragon bone. It was estimated that absorbing all of it might bring him more than 10 points of energy.

Gavin guessed that the amount of magic contained in the dragon bone was obviously affected by the size and strength of the dragon when it was alive. The best one was undoubtedly the pendant made of the Belleris dragon bone in his hand. Other small dragon bones naturally had less magic.

However, although it was a bit disappointing, this was undoubtedly the first time that Gavin obtained such a huge potential energy point, which was also a big gain.

Then, Gavin asked Hassan next to him: "Have you asked where this dragon bone came from?" Hassan immediately replied: "When I found it, I asked the pirates who were guarding here before. I heard that it was found on this island."

After hearing the origin of the dragon bone, Gavin was very surprised. He didn't expect that there was a dragon bone on this island, and it was a complete set. Doesn't it mean that a dragon once died here?

Then, he immediately asked Hassan to call the guard who was questioned before, and Gavin asked him in detail.

It turned out that after the black shark "Earl" occupied the Shipwreck Bay, the pirates explored the entire island. They found this dragon bone in a cave. Because the dragon bone was more valuable, they brought it back intact.

After hearing this, Gavin immediately asked the pirate to be his guide and take him to see.

After a whole day of marching deep into the island, Gavin and his party finally reached the cave where the dragon bones were found.

As soon as they stepped into the cave, a damp and slightly decayed smell came to their faces. The space inside the cave was extremely vast. Gavin carefully led everyone to explore in this dark environment, and their footsteps echoed in the empty cave, which was particularly clear.

Gavin's eyes carefully scanned the surroundings, not missing any corner.

Finally, he found a special place. In the narrow gap formed by two huge rocks, the material in the middle was completely different from the surrounding rocks.

It was a dark red material with a slightly rough surface. It looked like a unique shape formed by high-temperature magma cooling and solidification. Gavin immediately picked up the tools and began to dig hard, using all his strength every time. As he dug, the gravel rolled down, and finally, a gray dragon egg appeared in front of everyone.

However, this dragon egg was already dull and covered with tiny cracks on the surface. It was obviously a dragon egg that had lost its vitality, and even the magic inside the dragon egg had been lost.

Looking at the dragon egg in his hand, Gavin was a little disappointed, but he still carefully put it into the bag and planned to take it back.

After that, Gavin and his team searched the cave carefully for a long time, not letting go of every corner, but in the end there was no new discovery. In desperation, Gavin could only sigh and choose to lead the team back.

At night in Shipwreck Bay, Gavin sat alone on the throne, and the dragon bone was placed next to the throne. His hand gently placed on the dragon bone, slowly absorbing the magic in it.

Gavin frowned, and his mind was full of thoughts. Although he successfully ruled Shipwreck Bay with force and fear, and incorporated more than ten pirate ships and more than 700 pirates, he knew that these pirates were fickle and only temporarily succumbed to his powerful force.

Outside, the forces left by the Black Shark "Earl" are still not to be underestimated. More than 50 pirate ships and nearly 4,000 pirates are scattered on nearby islands, and they are still unaware of the change of ownership of Shipwreck Bay.

The situation in the entire Stepstones is even more chaotic. The Dornishmen in the west, the Three Daughters in the east, and the temporarily defeated Thorn family, each force is far stronger than himself.

Gavin thought about the Shipwreck Bay in his hand. Should he keep it or give it up decisively?

Gavin sat there thinking for a long time, his mind was full of thoughts, and the situation in the Stepstones was in chaos. Here, it seems that as long as you have enough strength, anyone can be the king of the Stepstones. In this case, it is better to take it one step at a time.

His eyes became firm, and he had a preliminary plan in his mind. First, the pirates under his rule should be reorganized, and those who are undisciplined and undisciplined should be eliminated. At the same time, training should be strengthened to improve their combat effectiveness and discipline.

Then, try to control more islands to expand his sphere of influence.

After all, his arrival at the Shipwreck Bay and the Stone Steps Archipelago was an accident. If he failed in the end, the worst that could happen was that he would run away. After all, the Stone Steps Archipelago was a large piece of land. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, it was worth a try. Maybe he could carve out a place of his own in this chaotic place.

The next day, Gavin arrived at the large dock. As soon as he stepped in, the rich smell of wood and tung oil filled his nose.

There are no free craftsmen here. All the workers are shipbuilding slaves purchased from Slaver's Bay. They are focused and skillfully carry out the work in their hands.

Gavin paid special attention to the flagship Black Shark that Black Shark "Earl" originally prepared for himself. At this time, it was almost completed. This is an extremely majestic wooden sailing ship, with a hull of 80 meters long and about 20 meters wide. It has three tall masts like towering pillars, standing on the deck.

The main mast is more than 50 meters high, thick and straight, and can withstand huge wind force. The hull is large and strong, with smooth and graceful lines.

At critical moments, paddles can be extended from both sides of the hull to increase speed through human power, achieving coordinated propulsion between manpower and wind power.

Eight ballistas are neatly placed on the front and rear decks of the ship, like majestic guards, as if they are ready to spray angry flames at the enemy at any time, showing a powerful deterrent.

Gavin called the slaves in charge of management and some highly skilled craftsman slaves to communicate with them and learn more about the situation of the entire shipyard.

Gavin looked at the slave steward in front of him seriously and said, "Tell me about your living environment, food and accommodation conditions here."
