Chapter 555: Battle - Overture: Ashore

The weather in July was as hot as a steamer.

The scorching sun scorched all things in the world mercilessly, and the clouds seemed to be burned and disappeared without a trace.

At the junction of the sea and the sky, a fishing boat is floating alone, and on the bow stands a thin young man in a tattered sailor's suit, motionless like a sculpture, people who don't know think that he has been sunburned and dried, only the beads of sweat falling on the black face and frowning brows from time to time prove that the young man is full of life.

"My lord, come in and rest, the gods can't stand such a poisonous sun." The ship's boss in the cabin persuaded him.

The young man was unmoved, still looking ahead, frowning silently.

The captain of the ship sighed, glanced at the three sons who were sleeping in the cabin, and said in his heart: If I have an heir like an adult, why do I spend half my life adrift on the sea!

The thin young man heard the sigh of the boat boss, his chapped lips moved slightly, and he whispered: "You don't have to worry about me, I just ask you, how long will it take to dock?" ”

The captain of the boat knew that the young man was in a hurry to go ashore, and he also knew that he was not an ordinary fisherman, so there must be something important to do in such a hurry.

"It's almost there, I'm very familiar with this sea, and I can land in less than three hours." The boat boss walked out of the cabin as he spoke, picked up the oars and rowed very hard.

"Hmm." The young man only answered, stared up at the unusually dazzling scorching sun, and fell into a sculpture-like state again, not knowing what to think in his heart.

Looking at the sun with only naked eyes, few people in the world can do it, and the boat boss was more and more surprised when he saw it, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It seems that there are some monsters on that island!

The young man did not speak to the boat boss, which made him very bored rowing alone, and he used the force in his hands, but his thoughts drifted into the distance, and he remembered what he had encountered on that island three months ago, and his heart still has palpitations.

……

In recent years, the imperial court has ordered the purchase of rare fish from all over the country, so that remote fishermen have ventured to sail away, hoping to catch lanternfish in the vast sea. The lanternfish is the least aggressive fish in the deep-sea fish, and they dare not provoke other fish, and the lanternfish can be sold for five hundred gold coins a catty, and Babu's next-door neighbor Lao Ma moved his family to the town because of the catch of a lanternfish, and lived a life of abundant food and clothing.

Three months earlier, Babu and his four sons had set sail again, but they had traveled so far that they were bound to encounter a storm of great waves, and the sea was so unforgiving that even an old sailor like him could hardly navigate the storm, and although they survived, the fishing boat drifted to an unknown sea.

The BΓ‘b knew that sailing in the unknown was far more terrible than a storm, and that a storm was only a temporary disaster, but if you could not find the direction in the unfamiliar sea, it would be an eternal disaster, so the most important thing at present was to find an island with fresh water and food, and to have enough food and drink to ensure that you could find your way home.

Perhaps God had mercy, and Babu was lucky enough to find an island, and the family stopped the boat and went ashore to find water and food, and it was on this island that Babu met a monster he had never seen in his life, the Rolling Dragon.

Of course, Babu didn't know what this monster was, but the lame man called it that, and it was supposed to be a rolling dragon. The rolling dragon saw the living again, how could he easily let go of this opportunity for revenge? After laying a well-laid trap and lying in ambush for a long time, the Rolling Dragon struck a blow and devoured Babu's eldest son.

Just when the rolling dragons collectively hissed to celebrate the success of predatoring humans, and were about to make persistent efforts to take down Babu, a lame middle-aged man suddenly appeared, and Babu shouted for him to leave.

Babu was lucky enough to escape, so he ran away, and retreated behind the lame middle-aged man with a smoke, rejoicing in his life while secretly wondering in his heart: what is so terrible about this lame man that makes those monsters so jealous?

Without waiting for Babu to ask, the eight-colored light that appeared in the group of monsters in the distance told him the answer: what this group of monsters were afraid of was not the lame, but the dark and thin young man who used that strange light curtain!

The young man stood in the midst of the monsters, as if he had suddenly appeared, and as if he had been dormant for a long time. He has thick and stiff short hair, ragged clothes that can't hide his lean and strong muscles, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a slashed face, needless to say, his appearance is Celestial Empire style, and he has a superior appearance. The most bizarre thing is that there are four strange drops of black water around the body, like a guardian spirit, and as long as the group of monsters touches the black water, they fall to the ground and die instantly.

The eight-color light curtain of the young man became a "rainbow after the rain", and Babu saw the monsters disappear into the light curtain one by one, and hurriedly knelt down, kowtowing and sincerely thanking him: "How can the villain be virtuous, he will actually work on the immortal to make a move, as long as the villain can go home safely, he will bathe and burn incense, worship the tablet, and let the children and grandchildren be cattle and horses, slaves and servants, and be grateful." ”

Babu was very respectful, but the lame middle-aged man covered his mouth and snickered, and after a while, the monster disappeared, and the thin black young man appeared in front of Babu.

Seeing this, the lame middle-aged man pointed at Babu and smiled, "My lord, you have one more believer." ”

The young man gave him a blank look at BΓ‘b, but did not reply.

The middle-aged man didn't care at all, and said: "My lord, your skills have improved again, and you can exterminate the entire Rolling Earth Dragon clan with only your bare hands, congratulations!" ”

The young man nodded this time, sucked a huge black scythe from the air, and said lightly: "It is worthy of teaching the sixth poison species for me, killing people is invisible, and it is indeed easy to use." ”

"Then why don't you use the Fifth Poison?" The lame middle-aged man asked again.

The young man pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "Yan Luochen is used to absorb internal force, and it is better to deal with that group of beasts than eight-colored mercury." ”

"Yan Luochen" and "Eight-colored Mercury", those who can use such poison are naturally the cold protectors of Yan Lengfeng, one of the descendants of the Five Poisons Ancestors who have been adrift overseas for 16 years and have greatly improved their skills, and one of the three major protectors of Yan Yunxing. The lame middle-aged man is Yan Lengfeng's most loyal friend Zhang Yingdou.

Finally, they're leaving!

Among them, Zhang Yingdou is not included, first, he feels that his legs and feet are inconvenient, which only increases the burden; Second, staying here can also take care of the two treasures at the bottom of the sea, Yan Lengfeng was not reluctant, and took Babu's boat on the way home, causing Zhang Yingdou to cry a lot, looking at the sea for three days and three nights before returning to the island.

……

Although the three-month journey is far away, it is not worth mentioning to Yan Lengfeng, after all, he is a veteran of the sea who has been adrift in the body of the dragon whale for three years, but the closer he gets to the way back, the more anxious he becomes, even if he goes ashore, he doesn't know how long it will take to return to the Five Poisons Sect, because he has already inquired with Babu that the place where he goes ashore is not along the East China Sea, not even in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but the southernmost Baiyue Kingdom!

Babu is an old sailor, but he can't take Yan Lengfeng to the Great Song Dynasty, he also wants to go home, and his home is in the easternmost part of Baiyue, between the two cities of Hanoi and Phnom Penh, in the village of Dafu in Huai'en Town, near the sea.

If Yan Lengfeng wants to return to the Five Poisons Sect, he must cross most of the Baiyue Kingdom, so he also inquired about the Baiyue City and humanities and customs, as for the three sects and nine streams of Baiyue, the famous sects, it is not something that Babu, a small fisherman, can know.

There are six major cities in Baiyue, namely Yangon City in the southwest, Vientiane City in the middle, Hanoi City in the northeast, Phnom Penh City in the southeast, Liuhuo City in the south, and Nanhai City in the southernmost part of the peninsula. The lord of the country's surname is Li Mingran, and like his father Li Ru, he is also an absurd monarch, and in the past few years, Baiyue's action to search for rare and exotic beasts across the country was initiated by him, and the reason was just to satisfy his appetite.

Li Ru is lustful, Li Chao is delicious, this is known to Baiyue people, to what extent is Li Chao delicious? It is said that he once eclipses dragon whales by day and eats human flesh at night, his belly is as swollen as a drum, and he is hungry. He eats all the time, and even when he sleeps, he has deer milk into his tube, which goes into his throat, and he is not afraid of choking to death in his dreams. To sum up his delicious taste, he can't wait to swallow this round of the sun. The people of the time also called it Li Taotao.

……

The sun was setting, three hours passed quickly, and from a distance, he could vaguely see the long coastline, and Yan Lengfeng rarely showed a smile on his face.

The family of the boat boss was also very happy, and the father and son ate all the food and fresh water on the ship, indicating that the next voyage to sea will be a new voyage.

While paddling, the boat boss said earnestly Yan Lengfeng: "My lord, you have to go to my house as a guest first when you go ashore, my wife is not good at anything else, and the grilled fish is a must, give you a good supplement, you see you, you are too thin." ”

Needless to mention, there are only nudibranchs on the island, how can you not be thin? Yan Lengfeng is not Li gluttony, he is already indifferent to eating and drinking, but it is difficult to be gracious, and he is in a hurry to return to the Five Poisons Sect, how can he refuse?

"No need, I still have important things to do." Yan Lengfeng is best at refusing outright.

Seeing that his expression was resolute and his tone was firm, the captain of the boat was inconvenient to stay, so he accelerated the frequency of the oars and quickly sailed towards the shore.

Seeing that the coast was close at hand, Yan Lengfeng couldn't wait any longer, looked back and hugged his fists, and said, "Meet again", then picked up the black sickle and stepped on the waves and swept towards the shore, but just when he was halfway through, several huge warships were faintly visible around, with dozens of artillery pieces on board, and they gradually approached him.

"Damn it!" Yan Lengfeng cursed, wondering in his heart: Could it be the fleet of the Twilight Night Spirit? Nan Ling's hand can reach the territory of Baiyue?

Yan Lengfeng stopped on the surface of the sea, holding a black sickle and preparing for a battle. At this time, the closer the warship is, the more you can see the crew running back and forth on the deck, very busy, looking at their clothes, they don't look like the characters of the Great Song Dynasty!

Yan Lengfeng was doubting himself, but there was a faint shout from the nearest warship, as if to persuade him to leave, and as if he was declaring war, he couldn't hear clearly in the sea breeze, and he was always not very friendly.

"Where are the pirates, robbing the good people here?" Yan Lengfeng puffed up his breath and asked loudly, and the surrounding sea could be heard. The ships moved forward quickly, and the closer they got, the more real the shouts from the ships became.

"Run, we're catching dragons! It's right under your feet! ”

Yan Lengfeng was shocked and almost fell into the sea!

β€œNND!” Yan Lengfeng rarely burst into a foul language, and scolded God in his heart: Is there still an end? Last time it was the South China Sea Dragon Whale, this time it's the Rausch Dragon! You just want me to die in the sea?

However, this is not the season to complain, Yan Lengfeng ran away as soon as he could, and there were waves behind him. Today is different from the past, and it is already easy to use light power on the waves!

It's a pity that God destined him to plant his head in the water, and he couldn't hide from it, just after he splashed the waves, under the sea, a long and winding snake-shaped shadow quietly came!

"Bang!" There was a violent roar of breaking water, and under the sunshine of the sun, the sea lit up with a red scale light, and then, a huge red-maned dragon head soared upward, and swallowed Yan Lengfeng with a big mouth of blood, Yan Lengfeng hurriedly erected the black sickle and put it against the upper and lower jaws of the dragon's mouth, so that it could not be swallowed, and at the same time performed the "Demon Transformation Dafa", secretly turning the essence blood into poison, and dripped it into the dragon's mouth with his fingers.

The dragon couldn't swallow it, and became more and more irritable, and the fire in its belly broke out, spewing out a cloud of red-blue dragon fire, burning towards Yan Lengfeng. Yan Lengfeng didn't dare to be careless at all, so he could only abandon the black sickle to save his life and jump into the stormy waves!

The giant dragon seemed to feel Yan Lengfeng's hands and feet in its mouth, and roared angrily, the sound shook the sky, and it was extremely domineering! It hovered high and looked down, carefully searching for the cold front in the sea, ready to swallow the greatest threat of all!

However, the sky did not fulfill the dragon's wish, its enemy was not Yan Lengfeng, at this time the warship approached, and then hundreds of more reinforcements of the warship, for the first general to give an order, the flag was conveyed, the artillery roared, and the bang bang all blasted towards the dragon!

The dragon's golden eyes burst with blood, seemingly full of infinite resentment, and it spat out the black sickle with a flick of its head, and circled upward, rushing towards countless cannonballs roaring!
