Chapter 143: Pirates
Legend has it that in the eastern part of the Qiu Ze continent, there is a canyon that is thousands of zhang deep and hundreds of miles long.
However, the entrance to the canyon is so small that only one person can pass through, like a large natural coffin.
In the middle of the night, people can hear the cry of babies coming from the canyon, so people call this canyon the baby stream.
In the middle of the canyon, there lived a strange bird, whose name was Heipeng, which was shaped like an eagle, hundreds of feet long, with a rhino horn on its head, and sharp hard armor on its wings, as sharp as a dagger.
The black peng often feeds on the beasts of the valley, but never leaves the valley, so people rarely see it.
Duan Feng looked up at the big bird hovering in the air, thinking that this was the legendary Black Peng, but how could Black Peng appear in this place?
Moreover, what kind of monster the giant python coiled on the main peak of Xumo Mountain was, he didn't know.
However, judging from the size of the two demon beasts, they were indeed more difficult to deal with than the battle that took place.
"What now?" Han Qing asked.
"Where did you come from? Why didn't you find it just now?"
"Now is not the time to talk about this, the question is, what do we do?"
"There must be a way, let's see the situation first. β
In order to avoid being discovered by Heipeng, the four of them hid behind a reef and silently watched Heipeng in the sky.
I saw that after Heipeng circled around the peak for a few laps, it didn't seem to have the intention of attacking, and the giant python was still lying there motionless, unmoved by Heipeng's harassment.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from a distance.
"There are other monsters here!"
Duan Feng looked around in surprise, and the sea water around the reef began to appear with turbulent waves, and the waves became bigger and bigger.
"Roarβ"
An even more deafening roar rang out from behind the four.
Duan Feng looked back, and a huge wave more than a foot high struck them at a rapid pace.
The four of them quickly dodged the other side of the reef, and the huge waves crashed against the reef, and the entire reef seemed to be torn apart.
This was followed by several smaller waves, which continued to hit from the deep sea.
"Moo-"
The voice became more and more rough, and Duan Feng saw a huge black shadow appear on the sea level in the distance, slowly rising like a small mountain.
It wasn't until the swarthy thing revealed two yellow-green eyes the size of a millstone that Duan Feng was convinced that this was another giant beast.
"It looks like this little Mount Sumo is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. β
"Let's hope they're not together, or we're going to be out of luck. β
"Looks like it's a monitor lizard!"
"The ones flying in the sky, the ones crawling on the ground, and the ones swimming in the water are all here now, and I don't know what they are doing here?
"Is it for the Spirit Heavenly Fruit on the top of the mountain?"
"No, the little Spirit Heavenly Fruit won't make them make such a big move, right?"
"I can't say for sure, unless there's something more important on the mountain. β
The four of them looked up at the top of the mountain, most of the mountain was covered by pythons, and under the mountain was a bare red stone.
There are no caves or other places to hide.
Could it be that there is something under the python? Otherwise, why does it not move?
"In any case, since we are here, we cannot go back empty-handed. β
Duan Feng said, ready to jump, but was pulled by Liu Yuwei, "What do you want to do?"
"You wait here first, I'll go up and see what's going on. β
"It's too dangerous. β
"It's okay, I'll be careful. β
After Duan Feng finished speaking, he jumped forward, and then soared into the air, "Rub and go!" stepped on the surrounding stones and jumped up the mountain in a few steps.
From a distance, Duan Feng walked through the gaps between the giant python's bodies, like the size of a fly.
"Boomβ"
The entire mountain suddenly shook violently, and the python's body moved slightly, and then regained its calm.
The monitor lizard in the distance suddenly changed direction and swam slowly towards the other side of the island.
Hei Peng stood at the top of the peak, let out a long roar, and looked at the sea in the distance with his eyes vigilant.
"Who do they seem to be waiting for?"
"Waiting for whom?"
"It's not clear, maybe it's their enemy. β
"Their enemies? What enemies can they have, unless someone comes here to snatch what they are guarding. β
"That's how it should be. Moreover, the comers should be strong, otherwise there is no need for them to be so popular. β
"Are you waiting for us?"
"It's unlikely, I don't think we need these three monsters to appear at the same time with our strength. β
"Bang!"
Duan Feng plunged his sword into a solid rock, grabbed the hilt of the sword with one hand, and hung it on the stone wall, the head of the giant python just blocking between him and Hei Peng.
He swung his body hard, jumped to the side of the python's head, he prostrated on the python's head, and looked at Heipeng more than ten feet away.
It was looking intently at the sea in the distance, not noticing Duan Feng's arrival.
Duan Feng quietly walked around to Hei Peng's body, and he realized that he had just been able to reach Hei Peng's instep.
"Gah-"
The big bird suddenly let out a long roar, and the giant wings flapped twice.
Duan Feng only felt the earth shake, and a gust of wind blew him up in an instant, and he quickly hugged Hei Peng's toes, so that he was not blown away by the strong wind.
As he was about to continue walking, suddenly the big bird rose into the air and circled around the peak again.
And its chirping sound is even sharper, as if it has found something unusual.
"Well, what's going on?" Han Qing watched as the sea under his feet slowly rose.
"Is the tide rising?" Liu Yuwei said.
"It's impossible, it's morning, how can the tide rise. β
"Bruru. β
Strings of water bubbles suddenly appeared on the surrounding sea, and the blisters became more and more, slowly covering the entire sea surface.
The sea level was also growing rapidly, and they had to jump to the main island and come to a higher rock.
"Roarβ"
The monitor lizard in the sea roared and began to swim into the distance, slowly diving into the water.
Duan Feng stood at the top of the peak and looked in the direction in which the monitor lizard swam, and columns of white flowers suddenly appeared on the sea in the distance.
The mountain suddenly shook violently again, and the python turned its body again, and began to make a rumbling sound.
Duan Feng thought to himself, it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, no matter what happened outside, his task was to get the Spirit Heavenly Fruit.
But he hadn't seen the Lingtian Fruit, and he didn't know where the Lingtian Fruit grew, so he just guessed from the name that it should be a fruit.
There is a dense mountain forest growing on the top of the huge mountain, but the forest is so big, and there are all ordinary trees in it, not even a single fruit tree.
At this time, Duan Feng suddenly remembered the bait that Zhao Muzhi had used when he was fishing for turtles at the Rainbow Bridge.
It was a golden apple-like thing that could be big or small.
Could it be that Ling Tianguo? He really couldn't think of anything else besides that thing.
Duan Feng shuttled quickly through the forest, but he searched back and forth many times, but he didn't even find an ordinary wild fruit, let alone any spirit heavenly fruit.
Judging from that kid's attitude towards his master, he shouldn't dare to fake his master's orders, and Zhao Muzhi has no reason to lie to himself.
There are other forests here.
Duan Feng looked at it, within a radius of less than a hundred miles, except for this main peak, there were some low reefs around, and there were not even ordinary weeds on them.
In desperation, he had no choice but to return to the bottom of the mountain.
"How's it going?" Han Qing asked expectantly.
"There's nothing on it, not even ordinary wild fruits. Duan Feng said disappointedly.
"What then?"
Duan Feng frowned and shook his head, thinking to himself, if there was no Lingtian Fruit, would Zhao Muzhi help him, or if this Lingtian Fruit was a necessary item for hunting the King of Xuangui.
"That's how it should be. Duan Feng thought to himself, "I'm afraid that if you want to hunt the King of the Xuan Turtle, you must obtain the Spirit Heavenly Fruit." β
"It's just that where to find the Spirit Heavenly Fruit now. β
While the four of them were frowning, the smaller waters had completely submerged the surrounding reefs.
Suddenly a larger, black peak sprang out from the far sea, but it was angular and smooth, as if it had been polished.
"What kind of monster is this?" Liu Yu looked at the monster in the distance in surprise, how insignificant the monitor lizard just now seemed compared to it.
The black peak was still slowly growing taller, and the sea water was left behind from its top, forming countless curtains of water.
"Click!"
With a few sounds of mechanical turning, countless small holes suddenly opened in the smooth wall of the black mountain peak on the side of Mount Sumo.
"That's not a monster. Duan Feng was very familiar with the scene just now.
Those small holes are more like the battlements on the city wall when he was guarding Xixia Town, but these battlements are several times larger than the battlements on the previous city wall.
Watch as the black peaks stop rising, densely packed with hundreds of small holes.
"Bang!bang!Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
After a crash, the small holes were filled with thick barrels.
"It looks like a battleship. Duan Feng muttered.
"How can there be such a big battleship?" Liu Yu gestured slightly, "This guy has at least stepped forward." β
"It should be overseas aliens, if I remember correctly, there is a kind of people on the sea, who live exclusively by robbing islands, they live on the sea all year round, and do not land all year round. β
"It's a pirate?"
"Well, it's just that they're more organized than pirates, and their whole community lives at sea, like a small nation. β
"That's the state pirates. β
"Pretty much, but why did they go to such a great lengths to grab such a desert island?"
"Boom!"
After a violent roar, countless fireballs exploded on the surface of the sea in the distance, and in the first wave of attacks, the pirates chose to attack the monitor lizards that were advancing towards them.
When the smoke cleared, a scarlet red rose on the surface of the sea, and it looked like their cannon had indeed wounded the monitor lizard.
But this does not hurt the monitor lizard, and it is not significant to the monitor lizard, they just scratch the skin of the monitor lizard.
Next, they are about to meet a counterattack from the monitor lizard.
