CHAPTER XXXVII
The Tiger Roaring Mountain Forest really opened Jing Tian's eyes. After a tiger roar, the entire wet rainforest seemed to suddenly come to life, and all kinds of beast roars responded one after another, some voices were full of fear, some voices were full of anger, and for a while, Jing Tian and Nami were completely buried by all kinds of continuous beast roars.
"Moo-"
Not to be outdone, Moo Moo turned his head to the shore on the right side and roared angrily after his upper body stood out of the water.
"Whew-"
A huge fishy wind blew out of the rainforest again, and the next moment, a saber-toothed tiger with a height of more than five meters suddenly pounced, and with just one jump, the sharp toothed mouth approached Moo's body in the blink of an eye.
"Ahh
Jing Tian was stimulated by the piercing scream, and immediately raised his finger, and a sword qi was launched towards the saber-toothed tiger in mid-air.
The sword qi unhindered into the saber-toothed tiger's head, causing the huge tiger's body to be stunned, and it happened that Moo Moo lowered his head and bumped into it at this time.
There was a muffled sound, followed by a huge splash of water, and the huge body of the saber-toothed tiger was smashed into the water with a 'boom'.
"Alright, okay, don't scream." Keizam grinned and raised his hand and patted Nami on the shoulder.
Coming back to her senses at Jing Tian's call, Nami realized that her reaction was a little too aggressive, and she quickly regained her courage and turned her head to look at the surface of the canal.
"How can there be such a big tiger!" Nami was apprehensive, and looked at the saber-toothed tiger whose corpse had surfaced and said, "Also, why does this tiger have such long fangs?" β
"It's a saber-toothed tiger." Jing Tian let go of the arm holding Nami, stepped to the bow of the boat, looked at it, and then beckoned to Hachi, "Hachi, see if this saber-toothed tiger can make ingredients." β
"I don't know." Hachi shook his head: "I've never seen a beast like this, but tiger meat is edible." β
Boom! Boom! Boom......
Suddenly, there was a loud bang from the other side of the rainforest, causing the three of them to turn their heads to look over.
"What's thatβ" Nami couldn't help but scream again.
"Giants? How can there be giants on this island? Hachi was stunned.
"Whatever you do, be careful." Jing Tian looked at the giant coming from a distance, and reminded Nami and Hachi in a low voice.
"Hello, guests."
The giant who came was very friendly, pushed away the ancient tree about twenty meters high, and then leaned down his body that was more than forty meters high, brought a huge face to the side of the ship, and greeted Jing Tian and the three of them with a grin and a loud drum.
"Hello, are you the owner of this place?" Jing Tian asked knowingly.
"Kahahahaha." The giant laughed a few times, and Nami and Hachi quickly covered their ears with their teeth bared.
"Sort of." The giant put away his laughter, grinned and nodded, "I've been on this island for a hundred years. β
"What's the name of this island?" Nami saw the other party's kindness, so she plucked up the courage to ask the giant.
"It was called 'Ancient Island' a long time ago, but my buddies and I prefer to call it 'Little Garden'."
"Little Garden......" The corners of Nami's mouth twitched, she looked at the giant's figure, and reluctantly responded with a dry smile: "It's indeed a small garden, haha, haha......"
"Oh oh faux pas, my name is Brocky, and I'm a warrior of the land of giants, Erubaf."
"Jing Earles, adventurer."
"Nami, Navigator."
"Hachi, the swordsman of the Fish-Man Clan."
Everyone has introduced.
"Kahahahaha." Brockie laughed again, and then said, "Then even if you know each other, I invite you to eat meat, do you have wine?" β
"Uh...... A little. β
"Really? It's great to have wine, Kahahaha, I haven't drunk it for a long time. Brockie laughed again, and the laughter was deafening......
After a while, Jing Tian and the three of them parked the boat, took out all the other eight barrels of beer except for a pass of red wine, and Brocky carried them with his left hand, and walked towards the island together.
Brocky hacked a dinosaur to death with an axe on the way, and soon led the three of them to his station, under a mountain of bones.
Seeing that Brocky was busy packing up the ingredients there, Nami put her mouth to Jing Tian's ear and whispered, "Look over there, it's all human bones, we have to be more careful, it's best not to stay for a long time." β
Jing Tian chuckled lightly and raised his voice to the giant and asked, "Brockie, have you ever died a lot of people here?" So many human bones. β
"Hey!" Nami whispered.
"Oh? Those human bones. Brocky didn't care, and while placing a large piece of dinosaur meat on the fire, he replied nonchalantly, "Some were eaten by dinosaurs, some died of heat and starvation, and some were attacked by us, so those people died, and all that remained in the world was the pile of bones." β
"Whew......" Nami let out a small sigh of relief, and the sense of crisis eased slightly, and then asked, "Brockie, how long will it take for this island's 'record pointer' to be recorded?" β
"Record the pointer." Brockie flipped through the barbecue and said with a smile, "It's going to take a year." β
"What-" Nami screamed, "So long a year?" β
"For a long time? It's been a short time. Brocky didn't know why, but after glancing at Jing Tian and the three of them, he reacted, scratched the back of his head and laughed: "Kahahahaha, I forgot, you are just human beings, a year is indeed a long time for you humans, but for our giants with a three-hundred-year lifespan, a year is quite a short time, Kahaha......"
"No wonder so many human bones are starving to death...... Nami helplessly put her hand on her forehead, then turned to Jing Tian and said, "Robin must know about the situation here, that's why he gave us the 'record pointer', right?" β
"Hmm." Jing Tian smiled and bowed his head, and then comforted: "It's okay, we don't have to go back to the starting point of the great voyage, don't forget, I still have the 'record pointer' sent by that tsundere of Smoker here." β
"Oh, I forgot, it's the 'record pointer' that points to the 'Navy Division Base.'" Nami was stunned, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to be a wild man here for a year." β
"The barbecue is ready." Brocky suddenly opened his mouth and handed it to Jing Tian and Nami with a huge 'Dinosaur Leg Roast': "Taste it, the dinosaur meat is very tender, and it is just right to roast until it is seven ripe, this is the experience that I have spent a hundred years summing up." β
"Thank you." Jing Tian took the barbecue with a wooden stick in both hands, then stuck the wooden stick in the soil, took the knife handed by Xiaoba and began to slice the meat.
The two sides chatted while eating, and gradually, Nami also completely let down her guard and began to ask Brockie about some of the islands and the surrounding area.
Brockie is very bold, answering almost all questions about Nami, and saying that he doesn't know if he doesn't know.
After about two hours, Brockie withdrew his big hand from grabbing a beer, and thought for a moment, "Forget it, I'll leave a little for my fellow, just in time to help you guys, and send him the wine along the way." β
"I'm sorry for you." Nami got up with a smile and looked up and asked, "Do you want to leave now?" β
"No problem, come on my shoulder." Brocky said as he stretched out his left hand, spread it out, and laid it flat on the ground.
Jing Tian and the three of them stepped forward, allowing Brocky to put his hand on his shoulder, and Jing Tian and the three of them walked on Brockie's shoulder again.
"Brockie, let's go to the middle of the island first." Nami said into Brockie's ear, then turned to Kei Tian and reminded, "Earls, wait a minute, I'm going to start drawing maps." β
"Hmm." Jing Tian responded.
Huge footsteps rang out, and Brocky carefully controlled his balance and strode towards the center of the island.
As a result of the view, the entire island was completely visible to Nami, who immediately began to record it on paper, occasionally asking Brockie to pause for a moment to give her time to draw.
It didn't take long for Jing Tian and the others to see another giant, compared to Brockie's Zhang Fei appearance, the other giant named Dongli was completely like a beautiful sideburns and public relations feather.
Introduced by Brocky, Dongli and Jing Tian and others greeted each other, and after accepting the wine, Dong Li said that he would ceremoniously entertain Jing Tian and others again in the evening.
With the help of two giants, it took Nami less than two hours to map the island, and then the group went to the beach and circled the entire island, and with the introduction of Brocky and Dongli, Nami quickly drew the nautical chart near the island.
When it was done, the group found an open space between the two bone mountains, lit a bonfire, and exchanged ideas again while collecting the ingredients.
"If you look at it this way, those two bone mountains are really big......" Nami frequently turned her head and commented with emotion as she compared the bone mountains in both directions.
"Kahahaha, huh?" Dongli took a small sip of beer greedily, and then laughed, "Even for us giants, those two big guys can be called giant beasts." β
"Don't you remember the reason for the duel at all?" Jing Tian asked.
"It's been so long, we don't care about that anymore." Brocky was also cautious in his drinking, for fear of revealing a single drop, and replied with a smile: "For us, the goal now is to decide the winner and then return to our hometown, after all, we have been away from our hometown for a hundred years. β
"Do you have to decide the winner?" Hachi asked puzzled.
"Of course." Dongli replied, solemnly, "Our hometown is named after the god of war, 'Erubaf', so the glory of the warrior has become a tradition, and every member of the clan must swear to abide by it, so we must divide the victory and defeat here, even if we fail and die, it is a great honor for us." β
Boom -
A loud bang was heard in the distance, and billowing smoke began to rise from the top of a volcano.
The two giants turned their heads to look at each other at the same time, and then their fighting spirit surged.
"Kahahahaha!" Dongli laughed and got up, "I thought it was just the morning outbreak today." β
"Kahahahaha!" Brocky also got up, picked up the huge axe on the side and said: "I knew it wouldn't be like that, for the past hundred years, that volcano has erupted twice a day, sometimes even three times, Dongli, you are too stupid, Kahahaha......"
"Think so much about what to do, let's go over there and fight, don't hurt our guests." Dongli looked around and reached out to a clearing in the distance.
"No problem." Brocky laughed in response, then bowed his head and said to Jing Tian and the others: "Wait a minute, guests, bless us to be able to divide the winner today, Kahahaha......"
Watching the two giants laugh and leave, Nami couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "What do you say they have been fighting for a hundred years?" β
"Glory, what they call tradition." Jing Tian also looked at the two giants, then shook his head and said, "Maybe they won't be able to tell the winner until they die, after all, they have been fighting for a hundred years, and they know each other too well." β
"I can't figure it out, wouldn't they have to fight on this island for more than a hundred years? It's a waste of time......"
"Well, although it's hard to understand, but this is their obsession, we are not qualified to evaluate anything." Jing Tian shook his head, looked at the scene of the war in the distance, and said softly......
The battle between the two giants was fierce, and the clashing of weapons and shields continued to spread throughout the island, and Nami's heart was about to rise to her throat as she watched the battle that hit each other's vital points.
The two giants don't look huge, but their movements are very agile, after all, this is the world of 'One Piece', and under the influence of 'demonic power', the air resistance is very weak.
If it were in the real world or other worlds, the two giants would not be able to move so fast, and the huge air resistance would make it difficult for them to make any movements.
The battle did not last long, and in less than half an hour, the battle ended with both sides defeated.
"Seventy-three thousand four hundred and sixty-one wars...... Flat. β
The sound of the two giants announcing the number came into Jing Tian's ears, and Jing Tian immediately recalled it carefully in his mind.
Soon, a number popped into his mind, causing Jing Tian to slightly curl the corners of his mouth.
In the anime, the battle between the two giants is the first 'seventy-three thousand four hundred and sixty-five', which is four times different from now, that is, the Straw Hats will arrive in two days, so that Jing Tian is roughly clear about the progress of the plot.
Looking up at the sky, and then at the two giants who were supporting each other and walking back, Jing Tian turned to Nami and said, "Let's stay on this island for one night tonight, and let's leave tomorrow morning." β
"Okay, but aren't you going to take the risk?" Nami replied and asked strangely, "You haven't visited this island yet." β
"There's nothing to visit, it's just the scenery and creatures of ancient times, let's just take some pictures tomorrow morning."
"Oh." Nami didn't care, and turned to meet the two giants who had walked back......
On this day, the volcano did not erupt for the third time, so the two giants did not fight again, and everyone gathered together and chatted while drinking wine and eating meat.
No matter how much pity he pity, the little wine that Jing Tian took out was not enough for the two giants to drink, and just after nightfall, the eight barrels of beer were completely sold out, much to the regret of Brockie and Dongli.
After telling Jing Tian and the others about the dangers of the night, the two giants returned to their respective stations after saying goodbye, recuperating from their injuries and preparing for tomorrow's battle.
Jing Tian took out the tent from his backpack, set it up and began to rest.
The night was spent in shifts by Jing Tian and Hachi, and although there were beast roars and footsteps nearby, there was no beast attack.
"You're leaving in a moment?" The next morning, two giants came to entertain them with barbecue meat, and after learning the situation from Jing Tian's mouth, Dongli couldn't help but be surprised.
"I don't want to tell you the bad news though." Brocky shook his head on the side, sighed slightly, and said, "Unless you go back the way you came, you won't be able to get out of this island." β
"Why?" Nami was puzzled: "Is it because of the relationship between 'magnetic' time?" β
"It doesn't matter." Dongli shook his head: "We mean something else. β
"Are there any other special circumstances around this island, or near this sea?" Jing Tian asked knowingly.
"Yes, more than ten years ago, an 'island eater' came nearby."
"Island Eater? What is that? Just hearing the name is very uncomfortable. Hachi rubbed his six arms and said suspiciously, "Is it a giant sea king?" But I haven't heard of any sea kings called 'island eaters'. β
"You fish-people live on the bottom of the sea, so you may not know, because the 'island eaters' generally live in shallow waters, which is convenient for them to eat the islands."
Dongli said: "After the arrival of this island eater, it took more than ten years to eat all the nearby islands, and now in the surrounding seas, only this island is left under our feet. β
"yes." Brocky said: "If it weren't for us, I'm afraid this island would have been eaten by that goldfish." β
"The island eater is a goldfish?" Nami was stunned.
"It just looks like it." Jing Tian said.
"Yes, Earls boy, you know? Have you seen that island eater? Brocky asked.
"I haven't seen it, but it's in a lot of books." Jing Tian said from afar.
"In short, it's impossible for you to keep going." Brocky shook his head, then said to Dongliwin, "Man, that 'island eater' is already the size of this island, right?" β
"It should be about the same, not much smaller." Dong Li bowed his head, stroked his long beard and said to Jing Tian: "With the size of your small boat, the island eater can swallow it in one bite, and I'm afraid it won't even be able to turn over a wave, so if you want to leave this island, you can only return the same way, return to the starting point of the great voyage and choose another route." β
"What should I do?" Nami's face was very embarrassed, and she turned her head to ask Keizen.
"It's okay." Jing Tian thought for a moment and said, "I'll forge the sword today, and then I'll cut it." β
"Really?" Nami still hesitated, "That's an island-sized sea monster. β
"Don't worry." Jing Tian's face was affirmative.
"Listen to your tone, can you deal with that goldfish?" Brocky crouched down and brought a huge face in front of Jing Tian.
The corners of Jing Tian's mouth twitched, and he held his breath and responded: "Yes, I still have some strength." β
"Kahahaha......" Dongli laughed on the side, looked at Jing Tian and said: "I really want to compete with you, but unfortunately our body size is too different, if we fight, it will be too unfavorable to your situation, and it will be contrary to our glory." β
"Kaha, that's right." Brocky got up and smiled as well: "So let's keep fighting, Kahahahahaha......"
"Then without further ado, let's go back to the ship first." Keizam greeted Nami and Hachi.
"We'll send you." Brocky stretched out his hand and placed it flat on the ground, motioning for Jing Tian and the three of them to stand up, and asked, "Is there anything we need help with?" β
"Thank you, I'll say it if it's needed." Jing Tian smiled and thanked him.
"Kahahahaha, that's as it should be." Dongli laughed heartily......
In less than two minutes, the group came to the canal under the stride of the two giants, and Jing Tian and the three of them got off Brockie's shoulder, boarded the boat and entered the cabin.
Jing Tian really needs help, and immediately asks the two giants to check the crater on the island to see if there is any special metal.
It turned out to be good, and after rummaging through all the craters, Dongli actually found a small piece of metal that did not melt even if it was floating in the magma.
The two giants cooperated, and quickly probed into the magma with their weapons, and got the half-meter radius of metal out of the magma.
While the red metal had not yet cooled, Jing Tian immediately wrapped the 'Armed Color Domineering' around an ordinary scimitar and quickly split the piece of metal.
Then he made a huge stone bowl and quickly returned to the ship with the pile of cooling metal.
Put a piece of metal into the mold that had been prepared under the lathe, start the machine and start pressing, and while hitting it repeatedly, Jing Tian sprinkled the 'Hailou Stone Powder' that he had worked hard to get these days into it evenly.
The suppressed sound of the lathe lasted for more than an hour, and a silver long sword with a total length of two meters gradually took shape.
Later, after removing the sword embryo from the lathe, Jing Tian experimented with the hardness of the sword body and the degree of conduction of spiritual energy, and the result was very satisfying.
The rest was to carve and polish and open the front, so busy for more than two hours, a long sword bursting with cold air finally fully appeared.
"It's cold." Nami, who was looking at the long sword, suddenly shuddered, and after stepping back a little, she said, "No wonder it wasn't melted by the magma, that piece of material can actually release cold air." β
"It was a bonus." Jing Tian's face was happy, holding a long sword that was a few centimeters taller than him, and he kept looking, and said at the same time: "In the future, it will be good to find a special material and make a scabbard to cover the cold." β
At this time, everyone was on the deck, and the two giants on the shore also saw the weapon in Jing Tian's hand, and they couldn't help but admire.
"Is this sword named?" Dongli, who also used a sword, was very envious and couldn't help asking.
"What's the name......" Jing Tian groaned, turned his head to look at the two giants and came up with an idea, and immediately said with a smile: "Let's call it 'Erubaf'." β
The two giants were stunned at the same time......
=========================
PS: It's difficult to name a household, and I thought about the name of the sword for more than half an hour, and I ended up with such a name...... (To be continued.) )
