Chapter Ninety-Nine

Zhang Xian just asked Liu Chengqian and Ying Xiao to follow him to the deep sea.

Yang Wenhui and others tried their best to dissuade him, but they did not discourage him.

Later, Yang Wenhui and Liu Qifang planned to escort all the staff, but Zhang Xian also refused.

Zhang Xian also left a comment on the ocean-going navy, which he was not very satisfied with.

This made Yang Wenhui and Liu Qifang bow their heads in shame, and Li Jiangchen almost didn't put his head into his crotch.

Zhang Xian didn't tell Yang Wenhui about going to Devil Island, not because he didn't trust them, but because he didn't want them to go with them, because this trip was extremely dangerous.

Zhang Xian could naturally see that Guixi's little bit of caution could be seen, but the temptation of huge treasures still made Zhang Xian feel that it was worth the risk, but he couldn't let the ocean-going navy follow, which might make them suffer huge losses.

Devil Island is just an inconspicuous, isolated reef, more than a hundred miles away from Huichong Island, and there are no islands and reefs around.

There are no plants on the reef, the reef is not big, the east and west are not more than a mile long, and the width from north to south is about 300 steps, but this island and reef are very high, and from the north it looks like a stone wall 100 zhang high standing there.

At low tide, a stone cave can be seen in the middle of the lower part of the cliff on the north side, but only half of it is exposed, and from the water surface, people can only bend down to enter it.

At high tide, the hole is completely submerged by the sea.

This is the entrance to the homecoming treasure house.

There is no need to hide that on such a deserted island, even if someone finds a natural stone cave, no one dares to venture into it.

Besides, what are you doing in there?

It is really surprising that this natural cave hides most of the treasures that have been accumulated for hundreds of years back home.

Although such a hidden place was not easy to be discovered, he still sent two ancestor-level masters from the clan to bring more than twenty dead soldiers to the town guards.

Then the name of Devil Island is about to come out.

In order to prevent people from approaching this reef, the homecoming master made those dead soldiers pretend to be ghosts and haunt the reef.

Because of the treasure house map and Guixi's confession, Zhang Xian was attacked by Evil Ghost Island and the entrance to that treasure house without much effort.

But he didn't rush closer.

"Put down the boat and we'll go over, and you will retreat the big ship thirty miles back and stand by. ”

Zhang Xian explained to Liu Chengqian.

"Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to investigate?"

Liu Chengqian said euphemistically.

Because Zhang Xian only planned to bring Er Qin and Ying Xiao over, it was impossible for Liu Chengqian not to worry.

"At a glance, what is there to look at. ”

Liu Chengqian couldn't resist Zhang Xian in the end, put down a small boat, and Zhang Xian and the four jumped off the rocking boat and went straight to Devil Island.

Liu Chengqian sighed, and reluctantly ordered the Black Shark frigate to retreat thirty miles.

"Don't go to that hole, go around to the west to log in. ”

As a veteran pirate, Ying Xiao is very cunning, but after all, he has limitations, so he still acts according to his own experience and plans to go straight to Huanglong.

But Zhang Xian already had a plan in his heart, he knew that this place seemed to be peaceful, but there was a huge danger hidden in it, and even the slightest carelessness would make them doomed.

Zhang Xian didn't have a senior helper to congratulate him.

For some reason, Zhang Xian temporarily closed the Dragon Domain.

The people in the Dragon Domain and the Great Demon couldn't come out to help him for a few days.

On the way here, Zhang Xian thought about it for a long time, and he already had a preliminary plan in his mind, but if he wanted to implement it as planned, he needed to verify one thing.

In fact, it is not easy to make a living at sea:

The most important logistical support for fishermen to go to sea is not food, but fresh water.

But fresh water storage is not so easy, after all, the hull is so big, but also leave the largest space to store the harvest, if you want to replenish fresh water, there are only two best ways, one is to store rainwater when it rains, and the other is to go to a larger island like the Ryukyu Islands to replenish.

But it's not free.

As for the food, it must also be stored, and if you really can't replenish it because of an accident, you can rely on the seafood you harvest to satisfy your hunger in a short time.

If there is almost no fresh water in a place like Devil Island, then the fresh water they rely on for survival cannot be completely dependent on rainwater, and one or two people can barely sustain it, but there are dozens of people on this island and reef, and food and drink must be supplied regularly.

This Zhang Xian got confirmation from Guixi, he originally planned to pretend to be the person who returned home to send materials, but Guixi inadvertently made him change his mind and immediately get rid of Guixi.

Guixi wanted to lure Zhang Xian to Evil Ghost Island, and if he didn't understand, let the two ancestor-level masters of the Guijia who were guarding there kill Zhang Xian, and then he could turn the tables around.

He also behaved very sincerely, and there seemed nothing wrong with it, and even Zhang Xian almost believed in his loyalty.

But Zhang Xian has experienced a lot after all, and he is even a master of conspiracy, and he sensed his conspiracy from some of Guixi's facial expressions and words.

Since you can't get anything useful from Guixi, it's worthless to keep him.

Zhang Xian carefully studied the map.

The map does indicate that there is only one entrance, and you have to know the time of the ebb and flow before you can enter and exit.

But Zhang Xian knew that there must be a vent for the natural formation on this very humid island and reef, or for people to live in artificially dug caves, or to store materials.

It is rumored that evil ghosts are often seen swimming on Devil Island, and if there is only one entrance and exit according to Guixi, it will definitely not work.

Then there must have been perhaps more than one entrance or vent.

Zhang Xian didn't plan to take the only known entrance and exit.

There must be traps there.

And it's also a place where people focus on defense.

So Zhang Xian decided that he would go and find out for himself.

"Wait here, I'll go up there and take a look. ”

Confessing that Ying Xiao and Er Qin were here, Zhang Xian appeared on the cliff more than ten zhang high.

Although the surface of this reef is mossy and slippery, it is not as smooth and hard as the rock, and it is uneven and has dense honeycomb eyes.

But even so, Ying Xiao and Er Qin, who were not low in cultivation, also felt that it was difficult for them to climb to the top of the mountain in one go.

That's not a few zhang high or a dozen zhang high, but close to a hundred zhang.

But their majesty was as light as a feather, and ran like a spirit monkey, and appeared halfway up the mountain in the blink of an eye.

This kind of light skill made Ying Xiao's jaw drop, Er Qin had seen the lord's light body technique, but it was the first time he had seen him climb such a high cliff.

As he spoke, Zhang Xian had turned into a black dot.

Half an hour later, Zhang Xian, who stood on the top of the mountain, took a breath of turbid air and sat down cross-legged to regain his vitality.

He used the Cloud Formation Technique to climb a hundred-foot high cliff in one go, which also made him very difficult, and he almost reached his limit.

When the sun was only half of his face, Zhang Xian recovered, and he looked back at the bottom of the mountain, and he felt a little dizzy.
