Chapter 369: Skua and the Nest
Wang Ling's body has an extremely fiery and manic fire vitality, which is very easy to distinguish in the vast sea area. Xia Xiao used the water in the sea and the air as the medium, and quickly found Wang Ling, but the location where he was imprisoned was too strange. But Ju Mang Xiaoran and Xia Xiao both have the ability to fly, and it is not difficult to find them.
The twin islands are not far apart, a few kilometers apart, but have very different topographical features. The island on the right is all sandy and once had extremely dense grass and coconut groves, while the left is unusually barren, with only the reef being numerous enough to be rugged throughout. Reefs, large and small, are hard enough in the water to be broken and smooth by the crash of the waves.
Like the terrain judged by Xia Xiao when he saw the contour map, this island has a lot of steep cliffs, but there are no waterfalls. The islands full of stones do not store natural rainwater, and they are all in the crevices.
The cliffs face all around, but in the center of one of them, which is full of grass, a large hole has been dug. Under the large caves, there are many sunken caves, in which sticks are inserted, and the sticks are arranged in a very long way. The vines tied to the sticks, like the handrails of the corridor, meander from the bottom of the cliff to the middle of the cliff more than ten meters high.
Xia Xiao and the four of them flew in the air, looking at such a dangerous road, they couldn't help but marvel. These guys are really damn good, and it's incredible to have a home built in a place like this. Life in the stone cave is good, sheltered from the wind and rain, warm in winter and cool in summer. But this position is too dangerous.
Ah Candle knelt on Jumang's back, and when he looked down, his scalp was numb. This sharp and miscellaneous reef, falling from such a height, those few cultivators were safe with their vitality, but those pirates who were just ordinary people were estimated to be dead if they stumbled. Even with this risk, they lived here for three years.
The right island of the Twin Islands is indeed habitable, but it is too comfortable to be a pirate and not a profession that can sleep well, but there is a lot of gold and silver treasure, and it is not bound by anything. Most of the people who came here were desperate outlaws, and it would not be an exaggeration to think that their lair was built here. Life and death depend on whether Lady Luck favors you.
The pirates around the island have all died in the waves, leaving blood foam with their own warm blood, but there are also pirates among them, Xia Xiao felt it, dozens of guys are still sleeping in the grotto as usual, sleeping with their own gold and silver. They may dream of a golden tael of gold, and the amount of gold will emit a blinding light, making them unable to open their eyes.
It is not only the sun that makes people look at it directly, but also the hearts of people and the ultimate wealth. Pirates are like skuas on the sea, although they do not live in caves, they always snatch what does not belong to them, and then enjoy a carefree life with only courage.
Coming to this point, it is not equal to success, Xia Xiao put away his wings, stood on the steps made of wooden sticks, and said to the sentence:
"Alert!"
Ju Mang nodded, Xia Xiao pushed aside the grass at the entrance of the cave and walked in. The latter always felt that this battle was not so simple, at least he couldn't go back to the academy as soon as he found Wang Ling. The latter did not resist, did not shout hysterically, defended his dignity, indicating that he was not shallowly wounded. This time, there were no seniors there, and it was difficult for the seriously injured to return to the academy through the rune array. Therefore, it is also necessary to allow some time for the royal tomb to recover. In this way, it is inevitable to meet those who have been eliminated by the academy and become jealous!
Xia Xiao felt that this was also expected by Hu Bugui's predecessors, and seeing those people may be to let him use them as negative teaching materials, strengthen his views and beliefs in the academy, and maybe let himself meet the ugliest people in the world. I couldn't stay at the college because of my ability, not because of the faculty. But there are always some people who feel that the world is unfair, and the world is making it difficult for them. Xia Xiao is looking forward to meeting that kind of person, and the conversation between them should be interesting.
In the caves, crystal pearls are often hung, and torches are only inserted in vents. This kind of luxury is very different from the simple and dirty stone cave, but it is still very so. From the outside to the inside of the cave, Xia Xiao saw at least a hundred crystals, and there were several glowing pearls. But it's ridiculous and even a pity to snatch them and not eat them.
The cave was like an ant's nest, full of holes, Xia Xiao knew which one to go, and he clearly felt the sluggish breath of Wang Ling. But before that, he pulled a pirate out of one of the holes. I was able to fall asleep with so much movement before, and I really had a big heart. People who are accustomed to staying at sea can automatically block the movement of the waves, as if they were silent. But what Xia Xiao said made him sober up for a moment.
"I've slain the dragon and gathered all your accomplices. ”
After speaking, when his face showed astonishment, Xia Xiao walked to the depths of the cave, which was the direction of the royal tomb.
There was very little light in the cave, but Xia Xiao saw sunlight shining through the cracks in the rocks overhead, shining in a hole in front of him. The moss here and there was water that came from the crevices of the rocks and the dirt, dripping in a low-lying place. The low-lying place is not big, like a small pool that is not worth mentioning, and the soaked Wang Ling's face is pale, his lips are cracked, and he can feel Xia Xiao's breath, and his eyes are full of perseverance and disgust when he opens his eyes.
In those eyes, there was shame and unwillingness, but more than that, there was anger. This anger is not against Xia Xiao, after all, he is the person sent by the academy to save himself, and he has to rely on him to escape this suffering. Although Wang Ling is arrogant, he is not an unreasonable person, and he knows that Xia Xiao is his savior. But he is more serious with himself, he is dissatisfied with himself, he is too weak!
It was not Wang Ling's practice to blame pirates, but he had previously underestimated the enemy and had the idea of teasing pirates. He likes the thrill of playing with his opponent, and the life and death of the opponent are in the palm of his hand, so he misses the opportunity to win. Thinking of his stupidity, Wang Ling lowered his head in shame, he was sorry for the instructor, and even more sorry for his proud heart.
Wang Ling was disheveled, his exposed chest was marked with stab wounds, and his arms, which were tied by thick iron cables, were already full of strangulation marks. The iron locks were tightly tied from the fingertips to the shoulders. He was embarrassed and ready to be ridiculed by Xia Xiao, no matter how much he insulted himself, he would not refute it.
With a clenched tooth, Wang Ling exhaled, but before the humiliating words he had waited for could be uttered, a metal cracking sound made his arm no longer heavy. The iron tools on his arms and feet were cut off, and Xia Xiao grabbed his shoulders and pulled him out of the cold water.
This seemingly inconspicuous little place is too suitable for taking care of the fire warriors.
The clear water overflowed down Wang Ling's legs, and the latter knelt in a disgraced position all night, trying to stand firmly, but his heart was weak, and he was about to fall as soon as he stood upright. Xia Xiao grabbed him, and the fire vitality in his body made him dry through, and he no longer felt uncomfortable with his clothes sticking to his skin.
Wang Ling didn't know what to say, he knew that Xia Xiao had the strength to deal with these pirates, and he just wanted to say thank you, but he couldn't open his mouth. Wang Ling's mind was full of his ignorance when he regarded Xia Xiao as an opponent, and the latter at that time was as calm as now, and his handsome face, which was not as handsome, was always silent.
Amid the clash of iron swords and the sound of countless squies, the pirates gathered together and blocked Xia Xiao and Wang Ling inside. But the former moved forward step by step, without saying anything, just with a cold temperament, which made more than 30 people keep retreating.
All the pirates had woken up, and all the outlaws had their most trusting weapons, but the man they were confronting had a pair of extremely cold eyes, and the sea water was beyond the winter night, not even the ice, and only the legendary Yellow Spring of the Underworld could roughly describe the chilling coldness that was at sight. Therefore, even though the master of the pair of eyes walked slowly, more than thirty people continued to retreat under his footsteps.
Xia Xiao took one step, and the pirates took three steps back. They were side by side, but they didn't have the slightest sense of security, and when Xia Xiao asked Wang Ling's words, they became even more afraid. They've killed people, they've killed a lot, but they've never seen anyone like that. Is such a guy human?
Some experienced pirates looked at Xia Xiao's glowing eyes in the darkness, as if they were seeing a giant whale in the sea. As they swam past the ship, they looked like they should not invade me, or they would strike back with great violence. The more experienced the pirate, the faster he will retreat.
"How?"
Xia Xiao's simple words are like a person surrounding more than 30 people, as long as Wang Ling says a word, he can deal with these pirates properly. Since he asked, Wang Ling was not polite, and only said one word.
"Kill!"
Wang Ling was very tired, his injuries had not recovered, his body was empty, and he did not have any vitality. But this word was extremely powerful, Xia Xiao heard the boom, and a flame burned in the cave, and the dazzling fire engulfed the bodies of more than thirty people, and sent them out of here with great momentum.
The sound of the flames burning was the most splendid destruction, and when the blades of grass hanging down from the entrance of the cave turned into ashes with tongues of fire, more than thirty people withered their breath, and their bodies fell down the cliff and landed on the black reef, burning selflessly.
"Huh-"
Ah Candle's little face twisted, full of disgust, it was really getting more and more disgusting, she had seen all kinds of deaths, and she would definitely have nightmares when she went back.
"Thank you. ”
This time, although Wang Ling was entangled, he still said these two words. But Xia Xiao used the wind to bring it to the top of the mountain, and then said easily:
"Get back to your strength, we'll get back to the academy later. ”
"We need to get out of here, the opponents of the academy are coming. ”
Wang Ling knew that the academy would send someone to save him, and he also heard what the pirate said, but Xia Xiao shook his head and did not follow his advice. The pale Wang Ling looked at Xia Xiao, who seemed to have his own thoughts, but what should it be?
"We can't escape, we can only face it, you just rest, and I'll take care of the rest. ”
Xia Xiao and Wang Ling had very little communication, and this sentence made the latter feel at ease. This feeling came inexplicably, Wang Ling really didn't expect that Xia Xiao would help him one day, and he didn't expect that he would rely on him. I hope this kind of thing is the first and last time, Wang Ling doesn't want to owe Xia Xiao a favor anymore, even if it is the teacher's intention. But many things are the same, and when you have the first time, you don't want to stop.
Nanshang and the Great Xia generation have enmity, but it does not mean that Wang Ling and Xia Xiao also have enmity. Like the students of Nanshang and Daxia in the past, the academy will make them no longer enemies, and whether they can become friends depends on whether they have the will. In short, if you are still in the academy for a day, you don't have to be bound by the world, and it is dreamy like an unrealistic place, but it is a real existence.
