629. Waves
The Kyushu Alliance Leader has not yet found someone who can be competent, and I hope it would be best to be the leader of the Kyushu Alliance. In this way, there will be no discord in Kyushu and strife will arise. ”
When Zhou Rui woke up from the dream, the last sentence left by Liu Ying in his mind was in his mind.
"Liu Ying!" Zhou Rui woke up sweating profusely.
Ji Qingjun handed him a towel with a not very good-looking face and helped him wipe away the sweat on his body.
"This Liu Ying calls her name every day in her dreams, who is she?"
Women are sensitive, and Ji Qingjun noticed that this woman named Liu Ying was a little uneasy in Zhou Rui's heart.
Zhou Rui hugged Ji Qingjun and rubbed his chin on the top of her head: "She is a friend I met in ancient times, and I wouldn't be able to go back here without her." ”
Zhou Rui's honest answer made Ji Qingjun feel a lot of anger, and the two walked around the island hand in hand, enjoying a rare time for two.
If it weren't for Bai Xiaoxi and Bai Xiangchang's two big shining light bulbs that had to come over to make trouble, it would look even more perfect.
Bai Xiaoxi looked at his boss with a smile: "Boss, I don't want to be annoyed all the time, now you need money to build an island, although the pharmaceutical company comes to pay on time, but every time we have to make a budget, a little expenditure is audited clearly, and the brothers at the bottom are not easy to do." ”
Zhou Rui understands that Bai Xiaoxi and these people are more arrogant, and it is indeed a little difficult for them to ask them to act according to the process. However, his partner does things at a glance, and the pharmaceutical company is watched by his partner, and he is not easy to break the company's rules.
He's been on the island for too long, or he should go out and find some source of money to build the island.
He told Ji Qingjun what he thought in his heart, and Ji Qingjun immediately agreed with him, so they planned to leave next week. Before leaving the island, Zhou Rui went to the place where the grave was found, and picked some tooth-like grass.
When Bai Xiaoxi asked him what he was doing with these, Zhou Rui only smiled silently.
On the day Zhou Rui and Ji Qingjun left the island, Hei Yan personally escorted them out with the mercenaries below.
There are many pirates hiding in the shadows active in this sea area, and having Hei Yan's escort makes Zhou Rui feel more at ease.
They were on a small cruise ship, Zhou Rui and Ji Qingjun were resting in the cabin, and Hei Yan took his mercenaries to observe the anomalies at sea.
As their cruise ship passed through one of the narrowest seas, Black Flame's eyes were wary.
This narrow sea is the seaway with the most accidents, either barricades and robberies by pirates, or unprovoked ships getting caught in the whirlpools of the sea. There are often Bermuda-like legends in this area, and some say that the whirlpool here is a track through time, and those who fall into the whirlpool are swept into another era.
This legend made Zhou Rui sound Liu Ying said that the ice cave that can travel through time and space, his only regret is that he did not see this ice cave with his own eyes.
If there really was a special shortcut to traverse, there was no need for him to consume the golden light of his body to pass through. The spiritual arts and descending techniques of the ancient era opened his eyes, and he could use them as a way to cultivate and improve the golden light in his body.
Returning from the ancient era, Zhou Rui clearly felt that the golden light in his body had risen again. It seems that this time in ancient times, it was not for nothing.
Just as Zhou Rui and the others were sitting leisurely in the cabin enjoying the beautiful scenery on the sea, with a huge collision sound, the hull couldn't help shaking.
Zhou Rui comforted Qingjun and walked out of the cabin.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Rui looked at Hei Yan with a solemn face.
Hei Yan's sharp eyes patrolled the embankment stones on both banks, and the grass grew on the embankment stones, which was a good ambush point. It looks murderous.
"The bow of the ship hit the reef. Hei Yan said simply.
Zhou Rui realized from his simple words that it was not as simple as hitting the reef, his expression was grim, and his eyes showed a look of vigilance.
A few strong mercenaries jumped into the sea and pushed the bow of the ship that crashed into the reef away. Pushed by a few of them, the hull of the ship began to slowly move away from the reef and return to the seaway in the middle of the sea.
The mercenaries who jumped into the sea also followed back to the boat, and Hei Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
The cruise ship sailed out of the narrow sea area without any danger. As soon as you leave this area, the sea channel is much wider and looks endless. Hei Yan lost the vigilance he had just now, and returned to the cabin from the bow of the ship.
There were several rooms in the cabin, Zhou Rui and Ji Qingjun lived in the largest room, and Hei Yan rested in the stern room.
Out of the most dangerous sea area, only less than a day's journey from the shore, Hei Yan and the mercenaries he led relaxed a lot.
At night, only two people were sent to keep vigil on the ship, and the others went back to sleep. After all, they came out of the island without sleep for three days and three nights, and they should also need to replenish their strength.
In the darkness of the night, three or four cruise ships the size of them slowly approached them.
At first, the two mercenaries on the night vigil thought it was a ship that was on a night trip like them, but they soon realized that something was wrong. The cruise ships blocked the way of their ships one after the other, one left and one right, and they were clearly well-trained.
The two mercenaries on the night watch immediately blew their whistles, and they had just put the whistle in their mouths and made the first sound when they were pierced through the heart by sharp arrows. Their bodies rolled off the bow of the ship and fell into the sea.
Hei Yan, who had been in a tense combat state for a long time, was the most vigilant, and he woke up the moment the whistle sounded. His mercenaries immediately went into battle like him.
When Black Flame stepped out of the cabin, a dozen pirates had climbed aboard their ship. Without saying a word, Black Flame accurately shot these people off the ship, and the other pirates who tried to rush onto their ship were sniped by Black Flame's men one by one.
The pirates were driven back to their ships, and Black Flame fought them with his men.
Zhou Rui also woke up early at this time, he protected Ji Qingjun in his arms, and observed the battle situation outside through the window. A mere pirate is not enough for him to use golden light to deal with them, and a single black flame is enough to deal with them. Therefore, Zhou Rui was very calm, waiting for Hei Yan to clean up these pirates.
It didn't take long for Black Flame and his men to turn around and leave because of their intense firepower. At first, these pirates thought that they were just ordinary ships, but they didn't think that there were also very powerful mercenary handles on board.
After a night of fighting, Black Flame and the others did not rest, and sped up all the way to the shore to sail the boat.
Unexpectedly, their journey was full of twists and turns, and a big wave suddenly set off on the sea, forcing their ship to find a shore to dock.
Hei Yan slammed on Zhou Rui's door: "The waves at sea are getting bigger and bigger, and we are uneasy on the boat, we have to find a place to hide as soon as possible." ”
Zhou Rui escorted Ji Qingjun off the boat and braved the torrential rain into a stone cave on the shore. The cave was just the size of the cave to accommodate them all.
But the rain came quickly and violently, and seeing the tide rising higher and higher, their boats docked on the shore were crumbling, and they didn't know when they would be able to get ashore.
After a night of fighting, everyone was already a little tired. After finding a cave to hide, they fell to the ground one by one and fell asleep. Ji Qingjun, who had been frightened for a night, also fell asleep on Zhou Rui's sturdy shoulder.
And Hei Yan and Zhou Rui were the ones who didn't fall asleep, they looked at the fire burning on the ground, and their faces were extremely serious.
For people like them who have already been in battle, they are the most likely to sense the danger coming. Although it seemed like an ordinary shower at the moment, they would be able to continue back on to the ship as long as they survived the rainstorm. But Zhou Rui and Hei Yan both felt unusual from this overly rapid rainstorm.
Obviously, they had studied the weather at sea when they set off, and it should be clear and cloudless these days, why did it suddenly have such a big wave and such a heavy rain?
This rain came too strangely, and Zhou Rui and Hei Yan didn't dare to relax for a moment.
They carefully observed the environment of the cave, and found that in addition to their own fire, they also found traces of other people's fires, and they were not the only ones who had been to the cave.
Hei Yan picked up the burned soot and rubbed it in his hand.
"The fire burned for less than a day. ”
Hei Yan and Zhou Rui glanced at each other, could it be that there are others on this island?
The torrential rain did not stop the next night, and it was not until noon the next day that the rain subsided. But the tide was still turbulent, and the waves were several stories high, and they did not dare to return to the ship easily, so they sent someone back to the ship to get some food.
The mercenaries who had been sent to fetch food returned shortly afterwards with a basket of potatoes and some canned meat, as well as mineral water. At sea, in order to facilitate the storage of food, it is necessary to eat miscellaneous species such as potatoes.
The mercenaries who brought back the food brought back another piece of bad news, and when they returned to the ship, they found that a hole had been cut in the bottom of the ship.
It seems that they had to stay on this small island and wait for the boat to be repaired after the rainstorm before leaving.
It was always a little inconvenient for Ji Qingjun and a group of strong men to live in a cave, so Zhou Rui saw if there were any other caves on the island where he and Ji Qingjun could live separately.
This small island can be seen as far as the eye can see, and the whole island is full of stones except for a pile of stones, so it's no wonder that there is not a trace of popularity here.
But Zhou Rui thought about it, if the land here is fertile and the environment is beautiful, it will be occupied by those pirates in the morning.
Zhou Rui walked around the island, except for a dense forest in the center of the island, he didn't find a stone cave suitable for him and Ji Qingjun to live in.
Zhou Rui looked at the thick trunks in the woods, and an idea popped up in his mind.
It was not convenient to live in a cave, or he could build a wooden house with these trunks to live in. Hei Yan was more skilled than him, and he cut down a few big trees in three strokes, and several big men quickly set up a temporary wooden house.
After the wooden house was built, Zhou Rui immediately went to pull Ji Qingjun over, but found that he couldn't find Ji Qingjun all over the island.
