Chapter 416: Legends
A warrior base on Yizhou Island.
It's an important hub on the southern seas, but there's only one commander in charge, but it's also well-equipped for naval warfare.
At this time, the military dock was already very busy, and many people were helping to carry down those wounded comrades from the battleship.
Others who are able to act continue to return abroad to rescue fishermen and search for comrades who may still be at sea.
After Bai Xiangming explained everything, he took Chu Tiannan and the three of them into the conference room.
This meeting room is soundproofed and anti-eavesdropping, so it is very safe to meet here.
"Brother Bai, what's going on today?" Chu Tiannan was still worried about the fact that the southern border was trapped.
"This morning, we suddenly received a call for help from a fisherman at sea, saying that they had been kidnapped by pirates!" Bai Xiangming slowly told what happened this morning.
If they deal with pirates, they can do it with just one fleet, but I heard from the fishermen that this time the pirates came with several fleets, so Bai Xiangming also dispatched nearly half of the warships in the base to the sea to rescue.
Normally, pirates are just some of the more common pirate ships of the last century, and there are no weapons of mass destruction, so bringing half of the warships is enough to deter them and let them release the fishermen.
Based on the fisherman's satellite phone, Bai Xiangming quickly locked on to the area, an archipelago in the South China Sea.
When entering this sea area, Bai Xiangming quickly discovered several pirate ships, and when they saw the Huaxia warship, they fled as fast as they could.
In order to rescue the fishermen, Bai Xiangming also pursued as soon as possible, and when their warship entered the center of the archipelago, the situation changed.
It turned out that this group of pirates used these islands as cover, and when Bai Xiangming fell into the trap, they collectively rushed out from the rear of the island group, and caught Bai Xiangming's fleet by surprise.
"After that, it's what you see, but that god of war should be the sea overlord of the nearby seas, Jiagu Yuanhong!" Bai Xiangming said, because the only god of war in that sea area is just that.
Chu Tiannan squinted his eyes, held his chin with his fingers, and said thoughtfully: "Does this Jiagu Yuanhong often sneak attack the fishermen nearby?"
Bai Xiangming thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "No, he only plunders those island countries, and never approaches the sea areas of Huaxia, and we usually don't interfere with river water!"
Hearing Bai Xiangming say this, Chu Tiannan's eyes immediately shot a fine light, such a sea lord with personality suddenly used the fishermen of Yizhou Island as bait to lure the southern soldiers to take the bait.
And it also has so many warships that only officials can have, and this skill is probably not something that those island countries can come up with.
And the price to be paid for the use of such a large military force in order to exterminate the southern warriors is not proportional to what these pirates get.
Such a large amount of effort outweighs the losses, it is definitely not what they want to pursue, to be able to provide such an expensive warship, Chu Tiannan only thought of two places.
Beiban! and Dongying!
Although the Northern Barbarians are all land, these countries have the financial resources in this area.
And in the East, there are also countries that are quite strong in naval combat, and it is just easy to take out these warships.
If these two places are mixed in, Chu Tiannan is not worried about anything, the enemy dares to come to attack Huaxia, and he will fight.
What I'm afraid of is that there are also their own people among them, helping these thieves and mutilating their compatriots together.
Bai Xiang Ming saw that Chu Tiannan was deep in thought, and he didn't dare to disturb, but asked Yelu Feiguang in a low voice: "Commander Yelu, are you here this time also for the fire in the center of the earth?"
Bai Xiangming suddenly mentioned the Earth-Center Tinder, which made the pensive Chu Tiannan couldn't help but feel excited, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by this that there are other people who are for the Earth-Center Tinder?"
Bai Xiang Mingba blinked his eyes and was stunned for a long time before he said: "Well, in recent years, several extinct volcanoes on the high seas have been revived, especially this year, there have been several volcanic eruptions!"
"I don't know who spread the news, over the years, there have been masters and businessmen rushing to Yizhou Island, just to find this geocentric fire, I heard that the value may reach hundreds of millions!"
However, most people are afraid of the murderous reputation of Jiagu Yuanhong, and they dare not go to sea rashly. ”
Chu Tiannan and the three of them looked at each other, the most primitive purpose of their trip was the fire in the center of the earth.
Originally, I thought that this was only something that was recorded in ancient literature, but it was spread by people, and many people were gathered on this island, and there must have been many masters and consortia among them.
Chu Tiannan's face became more and more solemn, and he always felt that these things were all crowded together, as if it was not a coincidence.
When there were so many masters who didn't know who were on the island, a pirate who had never offended Huaxia had ambushed the warriors in the south, and he still planned to bury all the warriors in the south.
It's a pity that there is no evidence now, and Chu Tiannan didn't say this strange idea.
However, the only clue is this Tinder in the center of the earth, with a price of hundreds of millions, which is enough to attract many people to take risks.
Maybe Jiagu Yuanhong also made a deal with someone for the sake of this fire in the center of the earth, so he didn't hesitate to offend Huaxia and ambush the southern warriors!
"What's going on with that Earth-Centric Tinder?" asked Chu Tiannan as he tapped his fingers on the table.
Because Jin Chuyao's ancient books only slightly recorded some clues, he could only roughly guess that it was a volcano, and the specific clues were actually clueless.
"Speaking of Tianhuo, we have to talk about a legend on Yizhou Island, in ancient times, Yizhou Island was actually still a continent, with towering mountains and two immortals fighting in the sky. ”
"At that time, it was dark, dark clouds were thick and thunder flashed, and the heavens and the earth seemed to have fallen into an apocalypse. ”
This phenomenon lasted for seven days and seven nights, causing the wrath of the Heavenly Father, so he sent a heavenly fire to extinguish the two immortals. ”
"The heavenly fire also descended on the earth, and the earth was shattered and devastated, and the ground was slammed to the south, and the infinite sea poured into the earth, thus forming the current state of the South China Sea. ”
"These islands are actually the peaks of the former mainland, and this geocentric fire, which was the heavenly fire that fell back then, is inextricably linked with the volcanic islands near the South China Sea. ”
Chu Tiannan and the three of them were dumbfounded when they heard this, and Chu Tiannan couldn't help but ask: "After talking for a long time, is there still no way to find the fire in the center of the earth?"
Bai Xiangming smiled awkwardly: "When I went to the city, I listened to the stories told by the vendors to my grandson, and I don't know the specifics." ”
"However, there is one thing I still know, legend has it that on Yizhou Island in ancient times, in order to cure his grandmother's illness, someone went to sea to look for immortals, and by chance, he got the fire in the center of the earth. ”
He was on the verge of death at the time, but after touching the fire in the center of the earth, he miraculously recovered to his original state. ”
So he used his clothes and his own blood to return to Yizhou Island according to the celestial appearance, and wrote down the approximate location there, and told the people of the town about his adventure. ”
Just after he fed his grandmother the fire in the center of the earth, her grandmother not only recovered from her illness, but even became dozens of years younger. ”
"The husband is not guilty, this spark in the center of the earth not only did not bring him a good life, but caused him to be destroyed by the whole family. ”
In order to snatch this treasure map, the people of all parties attracted Yizhou Island in that period, it was bloody and bloody, and finally I heard that the treasure map was divided into two, and the outer islanders who held half of the treasure map disappeared from then on. ”
Chu Tiannan was like listening to a martial arts story, and those people in the rivers and lakes fought in order to snatch the secret treasure map or something.
However, although the legend is exaggerated, what it wants to express is real.
"Then the other treasure map is still on Yizhou Island?" Chu Tiannan had already captured the meaning of this story.
"That's right! If there is no such picture, I also think that this is just a story, but this family and this picture prove that the story is suspected of being fabricated, but the incident really happened!" Bai Xiangming said with a serious face.
"Okay, then you can take me to meet this family!" Chu Tiannan's eyes flashed with a fine light.
