What attracted Bai Lan the most about the Bloody Bones was the huge bones on the bow and the guns in the cabin.

These two things are not only not found in Qianlong Island, but also cannot be seen in other places.

Chu Jing didn't know the origin of the blood bones, after all, he was not a creature that existed in this world, Chu Jing had to casually guess that this was the skeleton of a giant, but it was made into a bow ornament by the original pirates.

As for where the original pirates went, Chu Jing didn't know.

Bai Lan didn't ask much about Chu Jing's hiding a lot of little secrets, and even if he asked, Chu Jing wouldn't say anything.

Artillery became a nice toy.

There is a lot of gunpowder and cannonballs on the Bloody Bone, and there are ways to make them, so don't worry about running out of them.

The sea is very vast, even if it is on the route, it is difficult to see other merchant ships, not to mention the terrifying shape of the Blood Bone, the other merchant ships quickly dodged when they saw it from a distance, and did not dare to approach the Blood Bone.

When bored, Bai Lan, Lian, and Xu Qian set off artillery, especially at night, which can be used as fireworks to relieve boredom.

Thunder Island is three days away, but that is calculated for merchant ships, and for the Bloody Bone, this kind of autonomous sailing ship that can only navigate, it only takes two days.

Bai Lan didn't show curiosity about the automatic driving of the Blood Bones, in her mind, the sailboat could have moved on its own, no, it was moved by the wind.

This explanation made Lian and Xu Qian also agree with a little, after all, they really didn't find any signs of life on the ship, even the bottom of the boat was empty.

Soon, Xu Qian suddenly shouted loudly at the lookout of the Bloody Bones.

"Ahead, there's a big cumulus cloud ahead, are we in a storm?!"

There is a record of storms in the logbook of Lüon, but it is winter, and there is relatively little rain, let alone storms that occur in summer and autumn.

Lian was much calmer than Xu Qian, she stood at the bow of the boat, still blown by the sea breeze on her scarf and hair, indifferently looking at the black and oppressive clouds in the distance.

The bloody skeleton remained motionless and silent, and as soon as it opened its mouth, it would definitely scare everyone.

Lian said lightly: "That's not a sign of a storm, I'm afraid we'll be on Thunder Island, from here on, we have to be careful, it is said that when merchant ships arrive at the port of Thunder Island, they will erect an iron needle on the ship to guide the thunder and lightning in the air to prevent the ship from being damaged by lightning." ”

The lightning rod is actually a bit more complicated, because it must be isolated with an insulator, and the bottom end must be connected to the ground or seawater, and if it comes into contact with the hull, the danger will be even more terrifying.

However, Chu Jing and they don't have to worry about this.

"We still left the boat here and landed on Thunder Island in two small boats. ”

Chu Jing said, and began to untie the two small boats at the stern of the boat to go into the sea, as for the small raft, it had long been left in the sea by Chu Jing and them, and they didn't know where it had floated.

Hearing Chu Jing say that he was going to take two small boats to Thunder Island, Xu Qian was a little reluctant, because the sea here was not as calm as Qianlong Island, and there were thunder and lightning flashes in the sky, which was really not a good boating environment.

"Don't worry, with me, lightning won't strike you. ”

Chu Jing said this with full confidence, after he inherited the summoning of the demon, he gained the ability to control the demon thunder, ordinary lightning is not too simple for him.

Bai Lan had seen Chu Jing use magic thunder to deal with the Blood Eagle, and she didn't doubt it at all, as for the wind and waves on the sea, she didn't feel afraid at all when she grew up on the seaside.

Lian didn't agree, she didn't object, she just glanced at the Thunder Island that might exist under the clouds, and said, "It's too far away from Thunder Island, right?"

"No way, who let us take such a pirate ship. ”

Chu Jing spread his hands and smiled helplessly.

This made Bai Lan, Xu Qian, and Lian's faces all turn red, after all, they had no understanding of Chu Jing because of the appearance of the Blood Bone Before.

Bai Lan suggested: "Let's just remove the giant bones and pirate flags in front, although the red sailboat is not good-looking, it will not cause misunderstanding." ”

At this moment, the Blood Bone suddenly shook, making Bai Lan, Xu Qian, and Lian stumble, almost not standing firmly.

That's when the Bloody Bones complained.

Chu Jing naturally understood that the blood bones of the Blood Bones were the main body, and if the blood bones were lost, the ship would be scrapped.

Piloting a ship is not an easy task, at least a few experienced sailors and navigators need to be hired, and the speed of the ship is certainly not as fast as the Bloody Bone.

What's more, the Bloody Bones also has offensive and defensive capabilities, and it is an indispensable helper to be loyal to itself and meticulously execute orders.

"No, although the Bloody Bones has some misleading shortcomings, we are adventurers, and we don't need to have too much contact with other people, and if a little wind and waves can repel an adventurer, then our quality is really poor. ”

Chu Jing said impassionedly, but Xu Qian slandered in her heart, "Adventurer? When did Chu Jing seem to be an adventurer, he has endless money, he doesn't know the hardships of adventurers, it's almost the same as being called an explorer, anyway, explorers have a lot of equipment and endless money." ”

In the end, Xu Qian was still a minority and obeyed the majority, and they rode together on a small boat.

However, Xu Qian is in the same boat as Lian, but she knows that Lian has a lot of strange Lianjinfeng powder, and she will definitely be able to help her at a critical moment.

Chu Jing and Bai Lan were on the same boat, the two small boats were very close to each other, and Chu Jing was also worried that the thunder and lightning in the sky would fall on their heads so coincidentally.

Riding the wind and waves, the surging waves still wet the clothes of the four people.

At this time, Chu Jing also found that he seemed to be really wrong, at least this small boat was really not suitable for sailing in the uncalm sea.

Thunder Island is within reach, and they soon reach the beaches of Thunder Island.

Coming to the front of Thunder Island, everyone was shocked by the black clouds over Thunder Island, I don't know how thick the clouds, the black pressure covered the entire Thunder Island inside, and there were many thunder snakes swimming in the clouds, many suddenly rushed down, hitting the high and upright lightning rod, the black pressure of the sky, instantly illuminated.

In order to deal with thunder and lightning, there were more lightning rods on Thunder Island than Chu Jing had seen anywhere.

More than ten meters high iron towers or iron pillars, standing at the highest place, looking from afar, there are twenty or thirty near the harbor alone, forming a dazzling landscape.

Chu Jing and the others came to the beach of Thunder Island, Thunder Island is smaller than expected, the beach is not far from the harbor, even if it is daytime, but under the black pressure of Cumulus clouds, it is still a little dim, in addition to relying on lightning lighting, torches are also everywhere.

Lian introduced to Chu Jing that most of those torches were workers collecting thunder stones on Thunder Island, and the thunder stones were not necessarily produced anywhere, it was said that every time lightning fell on the ground, a thunder stone was produced.

The workers carried torches and wandered around the island, hoping that if they were lucky, they could pick up a high-quality thunder stone, so that they would not have to go hungry for more than half a month.

After picking up the thunderstone, they went to the harbor, where they would buy it from the workers at a very low price and sell it to foreign merchant ships at a high price.

Workers sometimes trade privately with merchant ships, but when the merchants of Thunder Island find out, they may permanently expel the workers and stop cooperating with merchant ships, which is not in the interest of merchant ships, so it doesn't happen much.

Chu Jing suddenly found a question, "Then aren't we smuggling?"

"What do you think?" Xu Qian glanced at Chu Jing.

Lian explained: "Actually, it's not a smuggling, after all, the Thunder Stone is not easy to find, and even the experienced workers on the island can't get a harvest every day, so if there are adventurers or merchants landing on Thunder Island, it will not cause the resentment of the merchants on the island." In fact, Thunder Island is not the territory of a certain person or organization, but the merchants on the island are relatively strong enough to oppress the workers. ”

Regarding the situation on Thunder Island, Chu Jing didn't say much, and even Xu Qian and Bai Lan didn't say anything.

Oppressing and being oppressed are really normal things, and no one, anywhere, can change this relationship.

However, the four of them did not walk on Thunder Island in the open, because their ship did not come ashore from the port, and it was also very troublesome to explain.

Because of the Cumulus clouds, Thunder Island is relatively dim except when lightning falls, and you can't see too far away.

The package of the four people was waterproof, and as for the wet clothes on their bodies, they had to go deeper and find a place to dry on a fire.

With Chu Jing's strength, he can immediately vaporize the water vapor on his body, but everyone else is still wet, and he is the only one who is dry, which is really inappropriate.

After walking for half an hour, it was already some distance from the harbor, and there were many fewer torches to see here, so it seemed that not many people wanted to come here.

For the sake of safety, the four of them chose a place thirty meters away from the lightning rod, which should be able to avoid lightning and not be injured by the lightning transmitted on the ground.

Lotus took out a little alchemy powder and sprinkled it on the firewood, even if it was soggy wood.

There is not much separation between men and women among adventurers, so Chu Jing did not avoid it, but he did not take off his clothes.

Catching a cold in this world, especially for martial artists, basically does not exist, so it is a little uncomfortable at most if your clothes are wet.

Chu Jing asked Lian, "How much do you know about Thunder Island?"

"Not much, except for the logbook, I know I've told you all. ”

Chu Jing turned his gaze to Bai Lan again.

Bai Lan hurriedly waved her hand, "I haven't left Qianlong Island. ”

Then Chu Jing fell into thought.

This made Xu Qian, who was ignored, very unhappy, but who made her really not know anything, so she had to puff out her mouth and sulk.

"Looks like we can take a walk around Thunder Island, which doesn't seem to be very big anyway. Chu Jing said.

Bai Lan was puzzled: "Are you looking for something on Thunder Island? The workers on the island have almost all traveled to Thunder Island, as long as they give them a few coins, they are willing to tell you anything." ”

The coins here are also the kind of shells that Qianlong Island exchanged.

Chu Jing shook his head, "What I was looking for, they couldn't help me find it." ”

I don't know how long I sat by the campfire, but I ate some food by the way, my clothes dried, and the whole Thunder Island became darker, but the sky was not a lightning bolt, and it seemed brighter.

"Let's go, take a walk around Thunder Island, maybe we can pick up the Thunder Stone too. ”

Chu Jing picked up an ordinary stone and threw it high, with a lot of force, and he didn't know where he threw it, and he vaguely heard a scream.

Thunder Island is not big, but not every place has a lightning rod, after all, on Thunder Island, where the iron ore is almost zero, the cost of building a lightning rod is too great, and even a profiteering thunderstone merchant can hardly afford it.

Every year, many workers who collect thunder stones are struck by lightning and die, and Chu Jing and the four of them also come to a place where lightning rods are scarce.

There are still many signs of scorching black on the ground, apparently from the location where lightning strikes.

If the same place is not struck twice by lightning, then the lightning rod is not useless.

The more lightning strikes, the more likely it is that the next lightning bolt will be aimed at that place.

"It's dangerous, let's change places. "Xu Qian is rarely afraid of thunder and lightning, it is an instinct that can be overcome, but it is not a defect.

Those who swim well die in the water, and those who are good at fighting die in soldiers.

Xu Qian is afraid of thunder and lightning, but she will not go out in a thunderstorm, and the probability of being hit by lightning is much smaller.

"This place is really dangerous, so it's better not to walk around here. Lian also maintained her usual caution as an alchemist, unwilling to move on.

Chu Jing had to show his housekeeping skills.

He said: "The matter of thunder and lightning is that you are too worried, since you are so worried, then I will show my hand." ”

As he spoke, Chu Jing stretched out his right hand, and a thunderball slowly appeared on it.

In fact, the difference between magic thunder and ordinary thunder and lightning is not particularly big, but they are two kinds of thunder and lightning in different spaces, and their power may be different, but they look very similar on the outside.

"This ...... What's going on?" Xu Qian's mouth grew in surprise, she had never heard of anyone who could control thunder and lightning.

"Haha, you know how good I am, so as long as I'm here, don't worry about thunder and lightning hurting you, I'll obediently make them obedient. ”

Lian also looked at the thunderball in Chu Jing's hand curiously, ball lightning is rare in nature, but it doesn't mean that no one has seen it, at least there are relevant records in books.

Lian carefully examined the thunderball, and even wanted to reach out to touch it, but was stopped by Chu Jing. Even if the thunder and lightning are controllable, the damage is still undiminished, just like a sword in your hand, if you deliberately touch the blade with your hand, you will definitely still be cut.

"Is this a real lightning bolt? How is it possible? What principle is used? A high-level alchemist can do it, but you are not an alchemist, how can you hold a lightning bolt?"

Lian's mind was filled with a lot of questions.

After the alchemist uses the alchemy powder made of thunder stone, he can also master some of the thunderbolt's attack moves, but it is absolutely impossible to do it like Chu Jing, holding the thunderball, like a juggler.

"Uh...... It's, huh...... It's also one of the secrets. ”

Anyway, Chu Jing already has a lot of secrets, and it is troublesome to explain, if it is on the Continent of Leaving the Gods, it can be said that it is caused by special exercises, but it seems that there is a lack of exercises overseas, and this kind of flickering has no effect at all.

Lian no longer asked, but thought about how to be like Chu Jing and be able to control thunder and lightning freely.

"Let's go, don't dare to come here, I think there should be a lot of thunder stones, I need thunder stones, you help me find them." ”

Lian believed that Chu Jing could help them resist thunder, so she simply walked straight ahead.

Bai Lan glanced at Chu Jing, compared to having thunder and lightning on the sword, holding the thunder and lightning in her hand in this way has a stronger visual impact, she was very suspicious, what is the origin of this Chu Jing.

Xu Qian glanced at the thunder snakes flying in the sky, as well as the roar caused by the friction of the clouds, and unconsciously moved closer to Chu Jing's side.

The four of them walked directly into the place where there was a lack of lightning rods, and it was raining lightly here, compared to other places where there was no rain and no thunder, there was a breath of life here.

However, the cumulus clouds on Thunder Island are definitely not rain clouds, but a special natural phenomenon, where clouds accumulate above Thunder Island and do not fall or leave.

Umbrellas are likewise one of the items that adventurers carry with them.

It is impossible for the adventurer who has no place to go and buys an umbrella when it rains.

Umbrellas in this world are not easy to make, and the price is not low.

However, Bai Lan didn't have an umbrella, she was not an adventurer, and after she got on the boat from Qianlong Island, she didn't buy adventurer equipment, so she had to hold an umbrella with Xu Qian.

The umbrella is foldable, and it is made of metal, covered with a kind of fish skin, which is strong and durable, and it is light and easy to carry.

However, the metal umbrella frame is particularly attractive to thunder and lightning, which has to make Chu Jing cheer up.

"Boom......", "Boom", ......"Boom", "Click......"

Occasionally, an electric snake was attracted by an umbrella, and Chu Jing would shoot out a magic thunder to cancel it out, or drag it in other directions.

Xu Qian was startled when she saw a tree in front of her that was half scorched black and half of it was emitting new shoots, and it was struck by a lightning bolt, and with a "boom" sound, it was directly torn in half.

Bai Lan hugged Xu Qian and comforted in a low voice.

Lian turned a blind eye to the tree that had been struck by lightning, and kept her eyes on the ground, desperate to find a thunder stone to verify her conjecture that Chu Jing used thunder and lightning.

However, thunder stones are not so easy to find, although there are very few lightning rods here, but for poor workers who collect thunder stones, money is more important than life.

There were more lightning bolts than Chu Jing had imagined, and if he hadn't been there, the other three would have been struck by lightning long ago.

He had to stretch out a hand to the outside of the umbrella to attract lightning to his hand, acting as a humanoid lightning rod.
