According to Mr. Pick, it took him about a month to travel from his home to Sofala on a "big slow boat."

There were many of his people on it, who were hired as mercenaries by the Dutch because of their prowess and prowess.

But the good times didn't last long, and while he and his people were heroic, they always seemed to have a bad relationship with the others. They are used to going straight and straight, and there are no twists and turns, but the employer and the white man who looks about him are so thoughtful that they can't stand it.

The end result was that everyone broke up unhappily, and many of the clansmen returned to their hometowns, but as the son of the chief, he didn't want to go back.

Before leaving, he had made a promise to his father that he would return with a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and beautiful things, so that he could prove his strength.

But now, he has no source of income, and he only survives on his previous savings, and his two brothers who have not left are poorer than him, and he has the obligation to help the clan as the son of the chief.

came and went, and the landlord's family had no surplus food. If I hadn't recruited sailors here, I'd have been left with two options: begging on the streets and taking risks.

As far as I can deduce, the home of the skewah should be in Mauritius, east of Madagascar. In modern times, after its independence from the British, Mauritius has made great progress by relying on its unique natural resources, and is one of the few rich countries in Africa.

But Mauritius was still almost a barren land at this time! I consulted with Rodriguez that this round trip would take about twenty days, and asked him to hurry up the construction period and complete the construction of the fleet before I returned.

Rodriguez readily agreed, so I set out to sea with five ships and headed east to explore the mysterious city of Mauritius!

The voyage of the past few days is really not enough to repeat, the weather is always humid and muggy, and even the night is stuffy, making people feel breathless.

In such an environment, the food stockpiled on board is particularly perishable. Fortunately, we made sufficient preparations before coming out, which was able to ensure that the food was as dry as possible, reducing the probability of food spoilage, and more importantly, ensuring the safety of the sailors and us.

We drove east at full speed for seven days, and on the morning of the seventh day, the navigator shouted from the deck that we had arrived! It's here! Directing the ship to prepare for docking.

And before the sailors were ready to land, the special combat team of the Nine Ghosts Masataka and the scorching musket team had already been prepared, and they could deal with emergencies at any time.

Judging from the weather in the past few days and the dense fog on this island, eighty percent of the people here will say that the wind is the rain at any time, and there is a high probability that the musket will encounter a malfunction.

So over the past few days, Halleha and Charlie have installed new waterproof packaging on each musket. In case of emergency, all of us brought crossbows in addition to our muskets.

Landing at the shore, we landed on the Rodrigues Islands, which were not the seat of the Slashing family, but the nearby Saint-Bran Islands. Of course, this is the modern way of calling the island, which is currently referred to as "Touchino", which means Bat Island in their indigenous language.

Of course, the name was confirmed when the Dutch first came here, so the island must be infested with bats! However, according to Picka, the bats here do not bite, and the meat is delicious and delicious when grilled.

I was unappetizing, but I was sure that it was mainly fruit bats, and there was not much danger.

I was in the middle of the way, and Hua Mei, who was unwilling to be lonely, followed the advance team to the island.

The soil is so soft! Or rather, it's supposed to be sandy soil. There is a narrow flat area about 500 meters wide on the seashore, and you can walk into it with dense jungle and abrupt mountains!

After a short time, we came to the edge of the forest, and when we looked at it from the boat, we only felt that it was lush and green, and when we came to it, we realized that the trees here grew far more luxuriant than the East African coast like Sofala, which was full of desert.

If you have to compare, it's probably similar to the tropical rainforest in the middle of the west coast of Africa. It appears that the climatic conditions are generally similar.

It's noon, and the sun shines through the cracks in the dense trees, adding a bit of mystery and magnificence to the quiet jungle!

Hua Mei's eyes were full of little stars, and she whispered to me, "It's beautiful!" It's beautiful! While tugging at my arm hard, it seems that this guy is actually still a little nervous, but he is just embarrassed to say it!

Naturally, I wouldn't break her, so I could only let her pull my left arm and hold the boy in my right hand, trying to maintain my balance as much as possible.

We brought the most well-trained team with us, so that nothing could be heard in the whole jungle except for the faint, reverberating sound of breathing. Occasionally, one or two birds and insects chirp are heard, which is particularly strange and mysterious.

I had some doubts in my heart, so I dragged the Nine Ghosts Masataka and walked a few steps, caught up with the Nine Ghosts Masataka in front, and asked in a low voice, "Isn't this place called Bat Island?" Why hasn't a single bat been seen for so long? ”

The nine ghosts were also wondering, so they took a few steps to catch up with the front card and asked. Who knew that this guy was also humming and couldn't say it clearly, and under the repeated questioning of the Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao, he blushed and told the truth!

It turned out that this was only the second time that he had come to this island, and his tribe had been living on their own island, and only in the event of a shortage of resources or natural disasters would they come to other islands, including Saint-Bran, to take refuge or seek refuge in resources.

As the "crown prince", he was naturally not sent here to work as a coolie, and only once during the sacrifice did they have to find the dodo's skull as a magic weapon, and his father was unwell and could not come, so he was hugged by everyone once.

I couldn't help but frown when I heard this, this guy is really harmful. In this unfamiliar wilderness, the most fearful thing is that the situation is not clear. I thought he was really a master - it turns out that the fighting power of the key card is not bad, but he doesn't know much more about the island than we do!

Under this situation, I faintly felt that something was wrong in my heart, and even moved the idea of retreating.

But then we think about it, we are fully armed, and we can cope with any special circumstances. And isn't the special combat team for this situation? If you retreat when you encounter danger, how can you polish and improve the strength of the special combat team?

Thinking of this, I looked at Hua Mei, I wanted her to go back - the big deal I would send her on the ship first, and then come back here to follow the special operations team. Who knew that Hua Mei lit up her cuffs, and she had already tied them tightly, and her trousers were also tightly tied.

"Don't underestimate me, Qilan, I've lived in the mountains of the Southern Barbarian Land! Do you think I am an embroidered pillow empty and beautiful? ”

As I spoke, my eyebrows fell up, and I could only shake my head helplessly and smile bitterly, and then turned my head to look at the key card: "Are there any other beasts here?" ”

Holding his head vigorously and thinking, "Yes!" Leopard! Lynx! ”

I asked, "Nothing else?" ”

The head of the card shakes like a rattle.

I was relieved and ordered the team to move on.

According to the skewers, after crossing this hill and then over another hill, they arrive at the territory of the dodo, which they call "stupid doves".

At our current speed, it will take another three hours to get there.

However, just as I gave the order to go at full speed, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky, and a torrential rain poured down from the sky!

The rain was as strong as the rain before the Armageddon against the Spaniards in the English Channel! The raindrops of beans hit the head and hurt slightly!

It was dark in an instant, and the whole forest felt like night! The poignant lightning flashed "beer click" and "beer click", and the faces of everyone next to him were black and white for a while, and the situation was quite terrifying!

We put on ponchos made of thick canvas and tried to burrow into a huge cave to shelter from the rain. The entrance to this cave is more than two meters in diameter, but after entering, it is even wider, and can accommodate six or seven people at a time!

The special combat team members in front of us held guns and lit torches to go deep into the cave to reconnoitre, in case something terrible suddenly popped out and caught us off guard.

Hua Mei and I stayed in a huge cavity in the middle of the cave, and I probed with a torch, which was about 60 square meters and more than 4 meters high, which was considered to be open.

Before the people inside came out, Hua Mei shook the rain attached to her body and whispered to me: "Do you remember? ”

I withdrew the torch in my hand and looked at Hua Mei: "What do you remember?" ”

Hua Meixiao's eyes narrowed into a slit: "At that time, it was also such a cave!" ”

I was slightly stunned, and then I realized - what she said was that when I had just left the Ming Dynasty, Hua Mei thought I had betrayed her, and chased me out to sea with the boat!

After meeting at sea, there happened to be a huge rainstorm, and we were about to build a board to talk, but we were hit into the sea by a big wave!

The kite gave up his life to save him, and the three of us drifted together to the island, and it was in such a cave that we spent a peaceful time.

Every time I think about it, I always sigh, if there were not so many disputes, wouldn't it be nice to spend my life with the person I love like that?

Thinking of this, we didn't talk anymore, just looked at each other quietly.

Hua Mei saw the depression in my eyes, gently took my hand, and whispered: "Don't worry, Qilan, the kite will definitely find it, okay?" She has her own natural appearance, so she must be fine. ”

I nodded vigorously and squeezed Hua Mei's hands tightly.

Just as he was about to speak, a violent gunfire suddenly rang out from the depths of the cave!

Immediately after, a loud roar came from the depths of the cavern!

"Roar!"

This sound was deafening, and even the might of heaven and earth outside seemed to be obscured! Immediately after that, the sound of footsteps came from the depths of the cave, and I listened attentively, and the sound was hurried and not panicked, reflecting the excellent quality of the special combat personnel.

"Captain! Evacuate! It's not good for us! ”

The special combat team members who rushed out first shouted: "You and your wife should withdraw first, so that we can make room to deal with this big guy!" ”

As he spoke, several other team members also rushed out, and it could be seen that they were not injured, and the big guy inside did not pose a mortal threat to them!

Thinking of this, I protected Hua Mei behind me and shouted: "At the moment of the great enemy, how can there be a reason for the Lord to retreat first?" Whatever is inside, kill it for me! Let me see your courage! ”

When the soldiers heard this, they drew their weapons and prepared for battle!

But I saw this guy flashing out from the side, and shouted urgently in his weird voice: "Don't! See blood! Bat! ”

I was thinking about the meaning of his words, but I heard another roar in my ears, and a figure three meters tall had already appeared in the sight of the firelight!

It's coming!
