119 small moon tides
Five days later, in the evening. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The sun sets.
The glow of the sky shines on the vast East China Sea, turning the waves and billowing clouds into brilliant gold. The Phuket Islands are like a few tranquil pebbles scattered across the East China Sea, bathed in this glow.
On an uninhabited deserted island in the Phuket Islands, Ye Fan sat on a rock, meditated with his eyes closed and silently practiced the exercises, refining the absorbed ball of beast blood into a drop of qi and blood essence, and absorbing it into his second bloodline river.
Mammoth Big Ash was lazily lying at his feet, munching on more than a dozen roasted sea fish, enjoying today's dinner.
After finishing the exercise, Ye Fan took a deep breath, closed the exercise, and opened a pair of calm eyes. A fine light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and it disappeared in a flash.
"It's already evening, today is the night of the full moon on the fifteenth day of every month, it's time to go back! ”
Ye Fan counted the time, glanced at the sky in the distance, suddenly stood up, and put the mammoth ash into the beast ring.
He then shot off on a raft off the coast of a desert island.
He stayed for five days on several small uninhabited desert islands around the Blue Water Sand Island, always looking for the Beast Venerable in the sea and cultivating the Blood Saint Dafa.
Although the time is short, the benefits are great.
In fact, since he was promoted to Martial Venerable, his cultivation realm had almost stagnated.
The cultivation of these few days has far exceeded the two months since he was promoted to Martial Venerable.
It's been the fifth day he's out, and he must return to the mines on the Blue Water Sand Island before nightfall, and join everyone in the safer mines.
After all, this is his first month at sea, and he has heard that every tide is very dangerous, and he does not want to risk staying outside. After staying on the island for a long time in the future, I will still have the opportunity to see the beast tide of this tide, and I am not in a hurry.
Ye Fan paddled the raft back to Blue Water Sand Island.
On the island, the tide has already begun to rise, and the tide is rushing towards the island in waves.
He dragged the raft high up on the shore and then ascended halfway up the mountain into the mine.
At this time, nearly 200 warrior miners in the mine came out to breathe, and after eating dinner in the mine village, they did not stay long, and returned to the mine in turn.
The mine made of wooden walls was too simple to stop the onslaught of the beast-level sea beasts.
Including Lu Guang, Thin Man, Fat Dun and other three martial artists, all the overseers and guards also entered the mine together, and no one stayed in the stockade.
Ye Fan naturally went in together.
It was the first time he had entered this mine since he came to this blue water placer island. The mine was about a few zhang high and wide, and the damp mildew coming from the mine made him frown slightly.
Before dark, when everyone entered the mine, the three Wuzun of Lu Guang worked together to move several thousands of catties of boulders to block the outermost entrance of the mine.
This is clearly not safe enough.
Ten feet away from the mine, there is also a heavy iron gate.
Then, Lu Guang turned a mechanism plate on the inner stone wall, drove a large iron chain thicker than his arm, and "creaked" the iron gate down, completely isolating the mine from the outside world, and not seeing the slightest light outside.
On the wall of the cave in the mine, there is a faint oil lamp every five zhang, illuminating the long and deep mine. Fortunately, everyone is a martial artist and a martial artist, their eyesight is good, and the dim lighting is not much of an obstacle.
Ye Fan looked at these silently.
The entire mine village obviously attaches great importance to the tidal beast tide on this full moon night, and almost treats it as a matter of life and death.
。。
Almost all the martial artists, overseers, and miners sat or slept along this mine road.
The new miners were almost nervous, whispering and unable to sleep. But the old miners almost all fell asleep, and they were accustomed to the tides of the full moon night in the middle of the month.
Ye Fan stood at the nearest place to the iron gate of the mine road, sitting cross-legged. He glanced into the depths of the tunnel, which he didn't know how deep it had been dug and couldn't see the end.
He knew that none of the three martial artists on the island wanted him to interfere in the affairs of the mine, so he didn't care about the situation here, lest the three of them suspect him.
Lu Guang and the other three martial artists were also sitting against the wall near the iron gate of the mine.
In this position, once a beast leader tries to break the iron gate in the mine, they can resist in time to prevent the miners from being slaughtered.
Gradually, the night is deep.
"Whew!"
The roars and fights of various sea beasts could be faintly heard outside, and it seemed that many sea beasts had gone up to the island.
Ye Fan listened carefully and identified their number and grade strength, and said to Lu Guang: "Brother Lu, how many beast venerables will be on the island on the night of the full moon and tides?"
"This is an island hundreds of miles away from Donglai County, and it is the territory of the Sea Beast Clan, and there are many Sea Beasts around. Every time the moon is full, they go to the island to compete for the most advantageous high position, so that they can absorb the moonlight.
Like tonight, the sound of fighting outside is so dense, not to mention that more than a dozen beasts have come to our island. There are nearly 100 small islands in the entire Phuket Islands, and I am afraid that there are no less than hundreds or thousands of beasts. Therefore, there is no way to stay in the mine outside, and you have to hide in the mine.
If you are unlucky and encounter a sea beast at the level of the beast marquis, you can't even stay in the mine in the belly of this mountain, the iron gate will be broken as soon as it is hit, and no one will want to escape alive. ”
Lu Guang smiled, and as he spoke, he looked at Ye Fan's face. I want to see Ye Fan's changed color and panicked expression.
It's a pity that what disappointed him was that Ye Fan looked unmoved.
Where could Ye Fan be so easily frightened.
If there were really beast marquis-level sea beasts infested, Lu Guang and the three of them would have run away a long time ago, where would they stay on the island. They are old fritters and martial artists, they are the most desperate, they don't work hard if they can, and they will never stay to find death.
Ye Fan was thinking about it, and Lu Guang said that there were more than a dozen beasts on the island. Such a large number of beast venerables made him very excited. It's a pity that with his current strength at the first level of the Martial Venerable Stage, he can't deal with so many Beast Venerables at the same time.
Seeing that Ye Fan didn't react, Lu Guang couldn't help but be disappointed, and continued: "Of course! The beast marquis is not interested in a small island like us, they will only go to the big island to grab the moon flower, and they are not interested in a small island group like us like the Phuket Islands.
Tonight, it's just a small tide, it's nothing. If it is the annual full moon night of the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, which is the largest tide of the year, the whole sea is not safe. All of us had to retreat to Donglai City, and only after a few days did the beast tide completely subside before we came back and started again. ”
"I see!"
Ye Fan nodded silently.
"Boom!"
The two of them were chatting when suddenly, there was a loud noise on the mountain wall, as if the rock had been hit.
"What's the sound? The beast is crashing against the boulder at the entrance of the cave?"
Lu Guang's expression suddenly changed, he jumped up, pricked up his ears against the big iron gate of the mine, and listened carefully to the movement outside.
Although there is a heavy iron gate of thousands of catties blocking the mine road, it is not certain that there will be a powerful beast venerable who can break this iron gate.
The thin man and the fat dun Wuzun were also full of nervousness.
"Boom!"
On the rock wall, another dull impact came, and everyone in the earthquake mine changed color.
The warrior miners stood up in shock, holding all kinds of shovels and other weapons, just in case. If there really are sea beasts rushing in, these warriors will have to fight hard.
"Big brother, something doesn't sound right with this voice. It was very dull, not like the direction of the cave entrance, and seemed to come from a relatively distant place. ”
Fat Dun Wuzun blinked his eyes and said nervously towards Lu Guang.
"It's coming from farther away, if it's a distant mountain rock being hit, how can we still hear it so clearly here!"
Lu Guang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, he suddenly looked back at the depths of the mine.
There is another possibility, that is, from the depths of the mine, there is a dull and distant sound of hitting the wall.
Lu Guang said sharply: "Second brother, have you inspected the entire mine in the past few days?!"
The thin man Wu Zun's face changed slightly, lowered his voice a little, and said, "Big brother, these **** have been seen by the foreman." I heard the foreman say that there is a rock seeping water in the mine! I am preparing to carefully inspect it in the next two days to prevent water leakage. This kind of thing happens a lot, and I didn't tell you. ”
"Damn! It's not a simple rock seepage, it should be close to an underground river, and the rock wall seeps into the water! I'm afraid that the sea beasts at the bottom of the sea are hitting this rock wall!"
Lu Guang's face instantly became extremely ugly.
In the depths of this mine, it is dug in all directions, with a large number of branch forks and small mines.
Occasionally, a few of them will take advantage of various landslides and disasters in this mine to cause one or two mining disasters for miners, and use this as an excuse to privately swallow a small part of blue water sand and earn a lot of yuanshi.
The thin man Wu Zun had discovered this water seepage a few days ago, but he was selfish and did not do anything to deal with it. Just waiting for the mining accident here in the future.
If it is replaced by Lu Guang himself, I am afraid that he will deliberately ignore it.
It's just that I didn't expect that this move would actually lift a stone to shoot myself in the foot.
"Boom!"
A third dull crash sounded in the tunnel.
This time, everyone heard more clearly, it was indeed coming from the depths of the mine. A very ferocious force was striking the stone wall deep in the mine.
Sea beasts can't be in the rocks.
The only possibility is that there is an underground river underneath the island. There are sea beasts in the underground river, crashing against the cave walls of the mines.
"Big brother, isn't this true? Could it be that the depths of the mine tunnel are really connected to the underground river?"
Fat Dun Wuzun's face changed greatly.
"It's over!"
"There are a large number of beasts outside the island, if the sea beasts in the depths of this mine are knocked open by the rock wall, won't we be cornered?"
"If the sea beasts flood in, we're all finished!"
The miners were shocked and frightened, and looked into the depths of the mine.
This deep mine tunnel instantly turned into a terrifying giant hole. Once connected to the underground river, they will be exposed to the sea beasts of the sea without any barriers.
