Chapter 516: Demon Wars Chapter 28: The Bloodthirsty Thorn of the Truth
- This is definitely the temptation of the devil.
Seeing the rippling, clear and transparent golden liquid in the bottle in front of him, and smelling the fragrant and fragrant alcohol that made people feel happy from the bottom of his heart, Jack's throat couldn't help but hear the sound of grunting and swallowing.
The only creatures in this land of no return, where there is almost nothing but sand, are the strange crabs that can become like pebbles, and the rock-like shells are so hard that it took him a lot of effort to pry them open, but instead of the delicious crab meat, it was still a stone that broke off one of his teeth, and if he hadn't spent countless times confirming that this was indeed a crab that looked like a stone and would turn into a stone when he died, he would almost have thought that he had the illusion that he had developed the illusion that the stone was a crab.
For all these reasons, the last meal he had eaten a few hours ago was half a peanut, and he only grabbed it when he collapsed in a delusional hallucination, and as for the rum that he had never left before, it was like he hadn't touched it for years, and now he actually had a good bottle of rum in front of him......
The desire in his heart drove him to snatch it up, but his still awake brain resisted.
But it's not that he's strong enough to ignore the temptation, or that it's too bad to sell his reserve just because of a bottle of wine, but it's because he's trying to make the deal a good deal.
And now, he finally estimated a price.
"Two bottles, no ...... Five bottles, otherwise no talk. β
Xiao Lan's expression turned playful in an instant. Shaking his head slightly, he threw the bottle in his hand directly to the captain, and at the same time as the other party caught the grunt and poured a large mouthful, he flipped through his hand and carried out a dozen bottles containing golden liquid.
"I'll give you a dozen. Twelve bottles, still of the best quality, the compass lends me ...... They're yours. β
"Deal!" At this moment, Jack answered without even the slightest doubt, and after a wine hiccups, he made a supplementary explanation, "If, just if, if only there was a box." It's no problem to help you find it together! β
"That's great, isn't it?"
Xiao Lan just chuckled and handed the dozen rums to Jack. He lifted a box under the wide-eyed gaze of the other man, no doubt...... It's all rum, and it's of the best quality.
Gold only attracts blood and calamity, but good wine can bring feelings closer.
According to this law, which is common to many worlds. Xiao Lan prepared these things in advance, which were actually very cheap. And it was clear that they were the last resort at this meeting.
As for the other people on the side, the reincarnation who knew it did not say anything except looking up at the sky, but when the rest of the people saw this incredible transaction, everyone in the group felt cold in their hearts, and the old man Gibbs couldn't bear to cover his face.
Where's your discipline, Captain......
But in any case, this joking scene ended very peacefully.
When Jack was holding a box of wine bottles and discussing with the crew how to fulfill his promise to help, Xiao Lan also got Jack's wish compass first. Although the captain handed it over without even a hint of nostalgia, as if it was really just a casual thing. However, the prompt of the Lord God that sounded automatically in his head was definitely not lying.
"Obtaining the Wish Compass of the story item can point in the direction of what the owner desires and wants most, whether it is a treasure, a person, a ship, or a variety of things, the user needs to pay attention."
The magic compass obtained from the sea witch, as long as it is the most desired thing in the heart, this compass will be pointed, and if the compass is spinning around, it means that you can't figure out what you want to have the most, or you can't concentrate on what you need most. When it was in Jack's hands, it was always unstable, because Jack had too many cravings in his heart, sometimes even a bottle of rum. In Elizabeth's hands, she once pointed to Jack, indicating that she had a secret affection for Jack at that time.
However, for Xiao Lan, his "desire" is quite simple and practical, in order to accomplish other things, he must live, and in order to survive, he must obtain stronger strength, and it is manifested in the current and recent goal: to get Yun Tiemu.
Everything was as it was developing, the compass needle did not shake a bit, it pointed directly in a clear direction, and then it was just a matter of waiting for Jack to fulfill the agreement.
- There is a small situation in the midst of this.
In addition to Jack himself and the crew of the Black Pearl that he pulled, there were a large number of people who went with him, Will, who wanted to help by the way, Elizabeth, who had a complicated and unpredictable mind, and the South China Sea crew who would help as long as they bid......
In the end, the immortal captain Barbossa and the sea witch stayed where they were, grabbed a few people who were reluctant to do so, and said something incomprehensible mysteriously, "We won't accompany you, we will go to the Black Pearl to make some preparations first, and when you come back, we can set sail or attack directly." β
Only these few people don't have to worry about the Black Pearl being driven away, and one of the purposes of their coming is also to rescue Jack, one of the rescued pirate kings, it is absolutely impossible to leave him here, but the implicit meaning of this sentence really has to be brought to people's attention, but when asked by Xiao Lan, the immortal captain smiled hehe, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth and continued to pass there.
"The key is the Yun Tiemu you're looking for, but there's no point in talking about it now...... You'll know when you see it, and you'll be glad we got the ship into the groove first. β
This is not a lie, but there is no intention of harming her, so Xiao Lan did not continue to ask.
As for the alleged problem, he soon found out......
As the group followed the pointer on foot and disappeared into the desert, a few moments later, Barbot Satha, who was on the lookout on the Black Pearl, nodded and shouted at the crew below.
"Untie the sidesail cable, tighten the mainsail rope, turn on the sidechord gun, reload and prepare for firing, and then get ready to anchor!"
This order was simply like a war, and the few crew members below were stunned for a moment, and looked up very curiously and asked, "What is this going to do, who are we going to fight with?" β
Barbossa didn't answer, because the answer was right in front of him.
What he had seen from the observation deck in a condescending step ahead could now be seen by the crew on deckβ
After Xiao Lan and his party went to look for Yun Tiemu's direction to the sand dune, there was a sudden burst of shouts mixed with various complex emotions, mixed with excitement, madness, and cursing, and then they coldly saw a group of familiar people emerging from the sand dune, all of them spread their legs and rushed back with the strength of milk, as if they were followed by some flood beast!
However, it is not as if ...... It's that there's a monster.
"Cut off my head and feed it to the dogs, god ......"
Someone murmured like this, because the sight was so unexpected that it was even more amazing than Jack's shining appearance before.
Behind the group of people who were running wildly, on the dead white sand dunes, suddenly a cluster of stunning dark green suddenly appeared, which represented the existence of vitality, but it was too vigorous and too powerful, and a green clearing appeared on the white sand beach in an instant, and many rattans and thorns appeared on the ground very quickly-
This is supposed to be growing, but the speed of this growth is so fast that no one who sees it will think that it is growing, the green at a speed like an explosion, instantly swelled into a large mass of thick thorns, and then this thorn immediately took root on the ground and continued to grow explosively, quickly growing into a thick and dense forest of tall thorns, and these thorns are not like thorns, but more like huge and strange snakes, just formed and rolled towards the people fleeing in front of them!
The last one who ran slowly fell directly to suffer, the snake-like nimble thorn tugged at his ankle, and the thorn was so tough that the scimitar in his hand did not cut it, and even further and quickly wrapped around his body while he was stunned, but in the blink of an eye, the spikes like steel nails tore through his skin, and the bloodthirsty rattan immediately invaded it and sucked it into a broken dry corpse......
Xiao Lan, who was also running in the crowd, knew this time, why Barbossa showed such a strange expression before, and he knew the true face of their target: the normal part of the ground lured the life form to approach, and then turned into a forest of thorns to capture the target, devouring its flesh and even soul...... The so-called Cloud Iron Wood is not a tree at all, but a bloodthirsty thorn monster!
But if it's an ordinary monster, forget it, there are Xiao Lan and the rest of the fierce people in the group, even if it's David. Jones's big octopus can also be dealt with, but this monster is indeed beyond imagination.
The power of the pirates' flintlock pistols is quite good, Jack's shooting power is no worse than Barbossa's, and the lead bullet infused with special power has also exactly opened a gap in the forest of thorns, in addition, Xiao Lan's phantom sword and Juhe sword qi, Kai Ruigan's dual spear psionic shooting, Zhu Wen's summoned evil eye ray, Li Shuaixi's fireball throwing, and the damage caused by a series of powerful attacks are quite good, but ...... This is not enough.
Xiao Lan, Jack and a few other people who saw clearly saw that there was a fruit similar to a "core" in the center of the layer of thorn protection, and a burst of green light representing vitality escaped from it, and then the gap that had just been made by everyone was quickly filled by the regenerated thorns!
