Chapter 878: The Mysterious Tower
Just as he was thinking about it, the lean man who was controlling the warship in front of him suddenly shook his body, and suddenly turned his head to look to the side, and the other men and women also stopped the output of spiritual power, and also looked over with his gaze.
I turned my head to see a ship in the distance that looked exactly like my feet, speeding towards us.
"It's the barbarians!" A man who looked to be only about twenty-five years old shouted in surprise, and the others were also in a commotion.
The lean man nodded, and there was a hint of relief on his face, but immediately the smile froze, because behind the warship, a column of water suddenly erupted dozens of feet high, as if something was chasing them, and there was a faint sharp roar.
"Everyone, come and help, they're being chased by monsters!" The lean man's face changed dramatically and he roared angrily, pulled out the peachwood sword inserted in his waist, stomped heavily under his feet, and rushed over as if he were flying.
The other men and women also suddenly realized, they all pulled out the peachwood sword, and shot away in the same way, the only one who didn't move, only me and Zhuge Wu, at this time I was looking at the huge water column that rushed to the sky in the distance, slightly in a daze.
Those men and women, under the leadership of the lean man, directly skipped the moving warship and submerged into the sky-high water column, which suddenly made a loud beast roar, and the huge water column stopped at once, and burst suddenly, forming an impenetrable rain curtain, which was endless.
In the midst of the rain, I could only see the flickering of human figures, the shouting of men and women, the sound of screaming and unknown roars, intertwined, and after a long time of tea, the sound gradually changed from high to low, and finally everything returned to calm.
After a while, there was a burst of cheers from inside, and then the rain curtain fell from mid-air, revealing the figures of thin men and others, at this time, the bodies of these men and women were splashed with bright red blood, I don't know, these blood is the demon beast's, or their own, but at this moment, they don't seem to care about this, and they smile as if there is some surprise.
The thin man and the others landed directly on another warship, and then they leaned towards us, and some of the new faces they put on showed a little surprise when they saw me and Zhuge Wu, and after the thin man whispered something next to them, these people suddenly showed a look on their faces.
Subsequently, the two warships hit the road one after the other, perhaps because the battle just now had been delayed for some time, and the speed of travel was obviously much faster.
After walking for an hour, the island was finally close in front of him, and the lean man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression showed a look of relief, but at this time, the clouds in the sky began to roll unsteadily, and the blue lightning also became suddenly frequent, and from time to time one or two directly hit the nearby sea, and the sea was suddenly blasted out of a pit that directly exceeded ten meters, and the pit retained a full five breaths before it was refilled by the nearby seawater.
Zhuge Wu was startled when he saw this scene, but the others seemed to be accustomed to it, and the lean man shouted loudly: "Everyone work hard, hurry up and sail the warship into the island!" ”
As these words were shouted, a group of people immediately increased the output of spiritual power, and the speed of the warship suddenly became a few points faster, and I was wondering what it means to sail the warship into the island, when I suddenly saw a waterway on the beach not far ahead, which was obviously dug out by hand, and the width was just enough for the warship to sail into.
The lean man skillfully sailed the ship into the waterway, and drove along the waterway all the way to the depths of the island, and after about a meal, a tall stone wall suddenly appeared in front of us.
These stone walls are all made of huge stones of a large zhang, which are twenty or thirty zhang high, and the distance between the left and right ends of the stone wall is more than a thousand zhang wide, and every few zhang of distance, a sharp thorn stretches out from the wall with bursts of cold light.
At the end of the waterway was an arched passage, and at the mouth of the passage hung a large square heavy stone, and at the top of the stone wall stood several guards armed with mahogany swords, who immediately greeted them with excitement as soon as they saw the lean man and his party returning.
After the two warships sailed into the stone wall, a huge "boom" sound was heard, and the boulder at the entrance of the passage was lowered.
Although Zhuge Wu and I were two fresh faces, those guards just glanced at us, and didn't ask anything, but surrounded those who had returned, excitedly discussing something, and at the same time, hundreds of ordinary people who had no trace of cultivation rushed onto the warship, and removed a lot of fish and shrimp that had been cut into small pieces from the warship, and everyone's face was full of joy.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help frowning, long ago, I found the fish and shrimp stored in the cabin, I originally thought that the monks on the earth had not really escaped from the mortal womb, and they still needed to eat more or less, so they would go out to look for food, until this time I understood that most of these foods were prepared for these mortals.
But these mortals who had never cultivated, how did they come to Penglai Island?
I looked around, it was very similar to those castles in ancient foreign countries, it was surrounded by tall stone walls, there seemed to be only an arch exit, and all the buildings in the stone walls were all made of dark stone, most of them were simple and rough, and most of them were square.
But the most eye-catching thing is a tall tower in the center of the pyramid, which is also the only thing that can be called a building here, this tower is thirty or forty zhang high, the shape is ancient, giving people a sense of solemnity, at this time, a blue lightning bolt slashed from the sky, straight towards our area, my face changed, ready to dodge at any time.
But the strange thing is that when the blue lightning fell halfway, it suddenly changed its trajectory and fell directly to the top of the tower, and the next moment the blue lightning was absorbed by the tower cleanly, and not even a trace leaked out.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but be extremely suspicious, and in curiosity, I immediately shrouded the past with my divine sense, wanting to see what the secret of this tower was, but when my divine consciousness just touched the tower, it was suddenly bounced away.
This time, I was completely shocked, I have the cultivation of the late stage of the Immortal Emperor, and my divine sense is much stronger than that of ordinary monks, but this is it, my divine sense can't penetrate into it, this is simply incredible.
In the vicinity of the tower, there were several halls much taller than ordinary stone houses, and at the door, the lean man was talking to the other people, and pointed to me and Zhuge Wu, and one of them immediately looked towards us.
"Is this really Penglai Island? How I feel like a hideout for a bunch of pirates! But compared to our Xianlian Island, this place is simply the Stone Age. Zhuge Wu looked around with a stunned expression, and then muttered in a low voice.
"You just pull it down, Xianlian Island can have the scale it has now, and I don't look at how much money I spent to get in, it's not easy to have such a scale here, I'm a little curious about that tower, I can't even see through my divine sense." I rolled my eyes and said.
After Zhuge Wu heard my words, he couldn't help but glance at the black tower, but he only glanced at it, and the whole person was suddenly shocked, his eyes became dull, and he raised his legs directly and walked towards the tower, I was slightly startled, and hurriedly grabbed him, and at the same time shouted softly: "What are you doing?!" ”
Hearing my shout, Zhuge Wu suddenly had a thrill, woke up in an instant, and began to gasp for breath, never daring to look at the tower again, and it took a long time to ease up.
"What's wrong?" I asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know, just now, my mind became blank, and there was only one thought, which was to enter the tower." Zhuge Wu said with a little fear.
I frowned slightly when I heard this, and was about to ask more details, when the lean man beckoned at us and said loudly, "You two come here, a few elders have something to ask you." ”
