Chapter 40: Skull Mountain

Fog and rain are hazy.

Far away from the rainy area, there is also a thin drizzle here. It was almost dinner, and there were more fishing boats around.

Dong Han changed his outfit, put on the light black coarse cloth clothes of most of the people here, and also took out the beard that was used by the second lady in 'Linhai City' to paint Dong Han's makeup and stuck it to his lips.

It's not that there are any bad ideas, but it's just like that, it's a little more reliable, and it looks like when you want to say that when you collect medicine, you get lost because of the rain, and it's still a little more vivid.

This is at least more convincing than the sudden appearance of a teenager.

At the end of the sea and sky, there was already a dark shadow of the island, and at this time, on the side of the ship in the cold winter, there was a fishing boat of five or six zhang in size. Dong Han also inquired about the moment that the big ship missed.

"All the helmsmen on the ship are polite, dare to ask what island is ahead?"

On the big boat five feet away on the right, there were a few sailors sitting on the side of the ship, and they looked at Dong Han without expression. But as soon as he heard Dong Han's question, he immediately didn't have a look of ignorance.

Someone ran into the wheelhouse, and a stout man in his thirties came to the side of the ship and looked at the winter cold.

"You're not from this island?"

"Well, no, it's just that I was passing by and caught up with the rain, and when I came out, I saw a boat, so I followed. Prepare to go to the island in front of you to buy some fresh water for food. γ€ž

"Where did you come from?"

"I started all the way from Xiaoscale Island, picking some herbs, and I didn't want to encounter sudden rain over there, and I couldn't tell the direction, so I came here. γ€ž

"Have you heard about the Wa people on the Sky Scale Island?"

"I heard that, what's wrong?"

He paused for a moment before he said, "Outsiders are not welcome on the island ahead, and you can't enter without the island's waist card. Don't bother yourself, just turn around and go! Not everyone can come here. γ€ž

"Well, why is that? I need to add something to go back?"

"Whatever your reason, don't go any further. This is good for you, don't listen to persuasion, and don't be attached anymore. Some places are not easy to enter and exit, so it is better to go back, so as not to leave regrets by mistake. γ€ž

"But I don't know what the hell is up ahead?"

"You'd better not ask about this, just act as if you've never seen anything, and it's good for you. Let's hurry up, let's do it ourselves!" With that, he returned to the wheelhouse, and the big ship left quickly.

Of course, Donghan knew what was in front of him, but he just wanted to know something. But it seems that the people here are ordinary people, and there are some good people, at least the ship boss in front of him.

Naturally, Donghan won't leave like this, and there is no way but to row to the side.

The boat rowed five miles diagonally on one side, and at this time, the winter cold also deviated from the waterway on that side. The sky soon darkened, and the winter cold slowly approached the island in front of it in the other direction.

Five miles away, a dark and magnificent island appeared in the cold winter consciousness.

It's too far away, and it's foggy and rainy, just a vague approximation. But this one probably also surprised Donghan.

I saw that ten zhang away behind the wharf was a wall three zhang high, all of which were made of square stone barriers. Every two zhang there was a siege crossbow, wrapped in oilcloth, and there were more than a dozen of them.

There are locals in wild clothes patrolling the castle towers, and there are some posters on the side of the gates. Dong Han didn't pay attention to this, the boat boss just now said well, there was someone by the city gate checking the waist card. At this time, there were not too many people, and dozens of fishing boats were parked on the dock.

Dong Han still didn't dare to lean up, recovering his internal qi on the side, and he couldn't enter the main gate. It's a bit like the 'Emerald Isle', except that there is only a slight slope of the pier, and the rest of the place is high cliffs, and the island is a triangle in the winter, and there are many bows and crossbows in other directions.

The night was dark, dark and starless, drizzling with drops.

Winter cold also stopped under a slightly lower cliff. The island is not big, and the winter cold can be swept through all with divine sense, and there is no fluctuation that the winter cold is looking for, but it still has to go up.

Donghan does need to replenish some food, and as for the pirates' madness, Donghan doesn't have the heart to show them.

The cliff is more than 20 zhang high, and it is not difficult for the winter cold. After settling 'Xiaobai', the winter cold rushed up like a spirit ape.

The cliff was silent, and near the edge of the cliff were the spikes of log that were slanted outward, and there were two rows, all of which were coated with tung oil, and the black was as black as the fangs of evil spirits.

Five zhang away, there is a stone platform where large crossbow arrows are fired, and there are corridors connecting the stone platforms. Two minions will patrol once every other time between teas.

Winter cold, while not bothering them, also sighed that this is worthy of a pirate island with many years of heritage. Just looking at this defensive offensive, it is not something that a small craftsman can plan. It seems that those old pirate predecessors also had many masters of arranging troops.

The island is independent, only the direction of the pier is a slightly lower low slope, and then there are gentle stone steps, and next to the stone steps are also layers of stone houses, but because the space is not large, so it is not as compact as the Emerald Isle.

After the stone steps of less than half a mile, there is a gentle market town, with a radius of less than a mile, and the whole is distributed in a tic-tac-toe shape.

In the middle of the two streets are all kinds of shops and taverns, and on both sides are all kinds of workshops, and at these days the lights are bright, and there is a faint noise.

If you go to the island in winter, the direction is the right side of the island. Not far from the market town. The size of this house alone should be no less than four or five thousand people.

Hidden in place for a while, the situation in the market town is clear, and the strange thing about the winter cold is that there are a lot of warriors but none of them are too high.

It stands to reason that this kind of possibility, right? Just looking at the construction of this offensive, it is not the vision of ordinary people! Why don't you see the fluctuations of masters?

Dong Han turned his head and looked at the mountain ridge on his right hand again, hey, it doesn't matter if you look at it.

The market town was just a normal gathering area of the second staircase, and the stone cliffs less than a mile back were full of fire.

In the middle of it is a mountain peak, which looks like a skull looking down on the market town below in the night. There was a flicker of fire in the two hollow eye sockets of the skull. It's a little weird to look at.

And the defenses over there are even more stacked and interlocking, and all the houses over there are hollowed out of the mountain.

You can only see the firelight and the shadows, but you can't see the internal structure. At first glance, it looks like a peak, with countless eyes staring at the sea.

This is definitely a spectacular feat. The whole layout is compact, chic, and does not fight against contradictions, and has more than enough buffering.

This is definitely a rare master, the great wisdom that can be had, this thinking and knowledge are definitely everyone's demeanor.

Dong Han didn't dare to be reckless, and hid in place for a long time, making sure that he was already familiar with it before slowly melting into the town.

A relatively large tavern, the guests are all slightly drunk at this time, and they are touting each other about the latest chores, Dong Han finds a small table on the side, and the guy comes over.

"What are you doing?"

"Just four dishes and one soup. Just have another 'corner' of wine. γ€ž

"Okay, wait a minute. γ€ž

Someone noticed the cold winter, but they didn't pay much attention to it. Those people continued to drink and mingle. Most of these are fishermen or coolies.

There were a few warriors whispering around the corner, but they didn't notice the cold winter.

The wine and food are all together, and the taste is good. The main thing is that I haven't eaten food in a tavern for a few days. The one that I ate in the cold winter was called a pleasure, and the dishes were almost eaten, and I didn't drink a sip of the 'horn' wine. In fact, taking wine is a cover-up, eating and drinking is small, and Donghan is still listening to the information here.

Those few warriors were talking about a bounty, and the general meaning was that someone was looking for a young man, and the bounty was not small, but this person had not appeared since he disappeared some time ago.

So now the whole sea is looking for this person, although Dong Han didn't listen very carefully, but it probably means that he knows.

Winter Han settled the bill and left the tavern. Shopping for the food they needed along the street, it didn't take long for the winter to be cold, and they packed two big skins.

It's almost time to leave, and you have to leave if it's not Donghan, but Donghan walked back and forth a few times, and I didn't see an inn. Taverns, gambling houses, and shops abound, but there are no inns.

Later, when I thought about it, I was relieved, no outsiders dared to come here, and there was no need for an inn. Fortunately, Donghan didn't ask recklessly. If that's the case, it's not self-defeating.

Well, if you really want to invest here. I'm really a little worried! Find a remote corner and put things into the purple water jade. Prepare to go back the way you came.

At this moment, there were several strong fluctuations in the Skull Mountain, in fact, they were not too far apart, and the real master, that is, a dozen breaths, was close to the front.

Dong Han was stunned. The secret passage is not good, and it looks like the people who came from are going in the direction of the winter cold to go to the island. In other words, they are over there waiting for the winter cold to pass.

It seems that someone else found out. But how did you find out about the cold winter, and it is difficult to find the suspicions.

Anyway, it had already been discovered, and Dong Han was no longer hiding, so he went straight to the place where he went to the island.

As expected, there were people waiting there, led by three people. A woman and two men, the woman is about thirty years old, her eyes are refined, and it seems to be hazy with stars, making it seem that it is difficult to see what she thinks, her face is delicate and her eyebrows are like willow leaves, and there is a golden hairpin with a colorful phoenix behind her bun. At this moment, she was looking at Dong Han with some surprise.

And the two men, one of whom is not much different from him, has a white face, a beard under his chin, and his eyes are indifferent and not frightened. The light white caftan holds a black square ruler in his hand, and he doesn't know what material it is forged, so he has a sense of heaviness.

The other one is younger, but this guy doesn't have the same freedom as the other two. The whole face is a god-killing face.

The eyebrows are upside down, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, the eyes are also shiny, the face is a little pointed, and he is dressed in a satin coat with black flowers, and he doesn't see any weapons, but this person looks like a Shura in the night, and this guy is definitely a ruthless stubble.

All that's left is a few stragglers staring at the winter cold.

"This friend, since you're here, why don't you go up to Skull Mountain on my pirate island and sit down?" the woman said lightly.

"I'm just buying some food. I didn't mean to offend a few people!" Dong Han really didn't want to take the initiative to provoke them.

"We know that several of the masters are waiting for your guests on the mountain! Rest assured, while outsiders are not welcome here, there are exceptions and differences. γ€ž

"Okay, it's better to meet by chance. When I came to the treasure land, I wanted to visit a few masters, which is a courtesy. But I don't know what the difference is?"

It doesn't matter if Dong Han thinks about it or goes to see it, it's a big deal to run! This is all blocked, which means that people have known for a long time, and there has been no action. There is room for dΓ©tente.

"It's up to you? The woman turned around and left...
