Chapter Ninety-Seven: Landing on the Island
When he heard the shouts of the crew, he quickly ran to the outer layer of the bow of the ship, and looked ahead against the strong wind.
I saw that on the sea level far away, more than a dozen black dots of different sizes appeared in his eyes.
"A large island with thirteen small dots around it......"
The next moment, Taiyi's emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for several days finally broke out, his eyes widened, he gasped, and shouted loudly and excitedly to the front: "Yes, that's it!" Fuck, I'm just not wrong with me, we found it, we finally found it...... Demon Island! ”
Turning back to the adjutant beside him, Taiyi opened his throat and shouted: "Target ahead, full speed ahead." ”
The crew of the Hope seemed to have also felt Taiyi's mood at the moment, although they found that the island had not been found, and it had nothing to do with them, they still let out a cheer and celebrated with Taiyi.
The thrusters were pulled to the maximum, and the Hope, which had been moving slowly, rushed towards the target like a wild horse on the loose.
Tai Yi stood motionless at the bow of the boat, staring at the island that was getting closer and closer, until a few minutes later, after gradually seeing the general appearance and characteristics of the island, the big stone in Tai Yi's heart was put down, and his mood slowly calmed down.
"Have the landing convoys all ready, and the gunners on standby in case of wolf sharks here."
As he turned around and walked to the captain's room, Taiyi said to the lieutenant beside him.
It is not too easy to command, those miners who have been on the ship for more than a month, after hearing that they have finally arrived at their destination, have long been impatient, and have automatically organized themselves and are ready to listen to the landing order at any time.
"Slow down, the probe pays attention to the bottom of the sea, watch out for the reef."
The speed of the ship was very fast, only approaching the island after ten minutes, and seeing that there were still more than ten miles to get to the island, Dongfang Haotian commanded the ship to start slowing down. It wasn't until it was closer than ten miles and there were still a few kilometers left to dock that Dongfang Haotian ordered the Hope to stop, turned around and said to Taiyi: "There are too many reefs in front and the water is shallow, so stop the boat here." ”
"Aren't there countless wolf sharks around here? Why haven't we seen any of them? Could it be that they are spreading fake news? ”
Taiyi looked at the scene scanned by the spiritual power detector, and had some doubts in his heart. I began to wonder if it was to prevent other scattered player fleets from approaching here, and the fake news from those forces?
I didn't bother much about this problem, in short, the Absolute Demon Island was found, and now even if there are ten Demon Beast Lords nearby, Tai Yi is determined to break through.
In his heart, he was worried that there would be any danger on the island, which would damage the miners who landed, so he waved his hand and said loudly: "You guys go and put down the landing transport boat and gather the miners to prepare for landing." The gunners also cheered up, paid attention to covering the landing craft and bombarded everything that could pose a threat to the landing craft! Taiyi gave orders, while casually summoning more than a dozen blood demons, jumped on the blood demons, and said to Dongfang Haotian: "Big brother, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go to the island first to inspect and see if there is any danger!" ”
Without waiting for Dongfang Haotian to respond, Taiyi rolled up a wave of blood, turned into a red horse, and flew towards the island.
"This guy!" Dongfang Haotian shook his head with a smile, turned around and went to work on a lot of trivial things that were too easy to throw away.
…… Riding the blood waves, crossing the sea surface for several kilometers, it is too easy to reach the edge of the island. As far as the eye can see, the land on the inner island is devoid of grass except for stones, and it looks gray, and there is nothing else.
It's easy to know that this is because this island is full of demonic mines. In places where there is a Demon Mine, no plants can grow on it, and correspondingly few magical beasts are infested.
This Absolute Demon Island is no exception, but on the edge of the island beach, there are countless bones and corpses of sea monsters, some of them recognize, and some don't know what kind of sea monsters they are, at least on the mainland, there are very few huge monsters with a body size of more than fifty meters.
"This place is terrible enough."
Standing on the blood wave and muttering, he looked down and took a closer look, and it was too easy to find that many of the bones that had penetrated into the island had been many years old, and the muscles and internal organs had all rotted, and only the blue-gray skeleton was still paralyzed there. Many of the skeletons were broken, as if they had been twisted and shattered by some terrible force.
Closer to the sea, the bones on it are piled up, there are new and old, without exception, the body is in tatters, and it looks miserable.
The whole beach was littered with these terrible things, and a white mist of steaming light drifted between the bones, as if a group of ghosts were searching for their own corpses. The sea breeze blew, and a dead air mixed with the yin wind rushed out of the coast, and the entire periphery of the Absolute Demon Island was miserable and stinky.
Being smoked by this smell, it is too easy to turn ugly, and this smell is really a little too disgusting.
From these corpses, Tai Yi also affirmed one thing, that is, the tsunamis around here should be very frequent, otherwise there would not be so many sea demon beast corpses here.
Looking at this situation, there is no need to visit the island.
At the time when Taiyi was staying, the eight landing transport boats loaded on the Hope were already about to dock.
When the landing craft docked, and the miners on board saw the situation on the shore, everyone's faces turned pale, and they covered their mouths and twisted their heads, never daring to look at this side again. This is not to blame them, they are just a group of aborigines who live at the bottom and have never seen much of the world. This time it was 'bought' by Taiyi, and they only knew that they were going to follow Taiyi to go to sea to mine, but they never imagined that the mining location would be such a terrible place.
In their minds, it's hell at all.
Taiyi shook his head helplessly, floated over several boats, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, don't worry, it's just that there are some corpses on the shore...... Well, as long as you cross the shore, there will be nothing to do behind you, just bear with it. All cheer up, it's just the corpses of some sea monsters, don't be afraid, you can go out in a few minutes. ”
Under Taiyi's supervision, several sailors who controlled the landing craft were in good spirits, and they leaned the ship against the shore, and then turned back to the miners with pale faces and scolded, and even a few of them were already planning to throw the miners off the ship.
It seems that he wants to help Taiyi drive the miners ashore, but in the bottom of his heart, he actually wants to unload the people quickly and leave this hellish place as soon as possible.
After a period of noise, the miners finally all got off the boat, put their feet on the pile of corpses, and opened their eyes to look at the scene around them, and all the miners bent down and vomited frantically at the same time.
Some even sat paralyzed on the pile of bones, their faces full of fear, their heads were blank, and they couldn't stand up no matter how they struggled. There were even some who stood there sluggishly, their faces became extremely strange, the kind of breath-holding purple red mixed with a little uncomfortable cyan, it seemed that they were about to be scared stupid.
It's too easy to have a headache, according to this situation, if you keep going like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to go ashore for the rest of your life.
"It should be better for a few days!"
Sighing, Tai Yi waved his hand, and the hundred-headed blood demon quickly pounced on these miners, directly rolled them up, jumped over the shore and threw them to a place where there were no bones.
After dozens of times in a row, all the miners and mining tools were finally moved to the rear.
Facing the miners with better faces, Tai Yi said in a deep voice: "Okay, everyone should hurry up, I don't like to wait until we have gone a little deeper into the island and found a good shelter, when the tsunami has already been covered." If that's the case, then you'd better break yourselves before it's too late, lest you become one of those piles of bones. ”
All the miners, who had been weak and weak, immediately remembered the terrible scene of the mountain of corpses and bones when they heard Tai Yi's words, and they couldn't help but shiver, jumped up from the ground quickly, picked up their tools, pushed their small mine carts, and rushed to the island, for fear that if they were a little slower, they would also become one of those disgusting corpses.
"The boat has found a place to park, there are sailors on it, and there is no need to worry about being swept away by the tsunami."
Dongfang Haotian, who was busy with trivial matters, also rushed to the island, looked at the bones piled up on the beach, frowned and said, "The tsunamis near this island should be very frequent and not weak...... I'm afraid we need to go deep into the island before we can open our mouths to mine, otherwise a tsunami wave will weigh down, and none of these miners will be able to escape. ”
"Yes!" Taiyi nodded, and looked at the island with some worry: "In this way, it will be a little troublesome to send the excavated ore to the ship." After thinking about it, he turned around and asked, "Big brother, look at the weather, has there been a tsunami in the past two days?" ”
"It's hard to say." Dongfang Haotian looked up at the cloudless sky, then at the sea level, and then continued: "The weather in the outer sea is unpredictable, and even most of the time the great changes are not caused by weather changes, so it is difficult to predict accurately. But I look at the current weather, the weather in the last two days, if there are no major accidents, there should be no wind, rain and tsunami. ”
"That's good!"
Tai Yi laughed happily, he knew that Dongfang Haotian was very good at observing meteorology, as long as he said no, as long as there was no accident, the weather changes were basically the same as he said.
"Then let's take advantage of these two days to find a safe place on the island first, and settle the miners before talking about anything else."
