CHAPTER XXV
A group of pirate crews swarmed in, picked up Niu Er, and prepared to throw him back into the sea.
Niu Er struggled desperately while shouting: "You can't wait like this, you can't be like this! God, could it be that the demons of the Southern Continent have arrived here?"
When Chenguang heard him say about the Southern Continent, his heart moved, and he shouted, "Wait." The crew carried Niu Er in the air, and when they heard Chenguang's order, they all stopped, and Niu Er took the opportunity to hold on to the door frame tightly, not losing his hand.
Chenguang asked him, "You just said that the demons of the Southern Continent, what's going on?"
Niu Er's eyes rolled and he replied, "If you want to know it, let these wicked people put me down." ”
Chenguang turned around and said, "Throw him down." ”
The pirates began to babble again, and Niu Er hurriedly shouted, "No!
Chenguang smiled: "You say so, if I listen to it satisfactorily, or I will spare your life, otherwise, hum, your life will be over." ”
Niu Er hurriedly told the truth.
It turned out that a few months ago, Chenguang's master Tiexiong Shanren and his wife contacted nearly 100 masters on the Shenzhou Continent, including Qianyuanzi, a real person from Huayin who was also among the Twelve Earth Immortals, Zhen Youdao, one of the elders of the Daoyuan Palace, Jian Wuying, the deputy head of the Tianshan Imperial Sword Sect, and many masters of the Seven Great Sects. borrowed two more heavenly boats from Xia Yan and rushed to the Southern Continent. Chenguang calculated the time, and it should be about half a month after the few of them left the Southern Continent.
When the Tiexiong Mountain people arrived at the Southern Continent, they found that it was dark and there was no sunlight at all. The extreme cold, coupled with the endless winds, made it difficult for the group to walk. It took more than a month for many masters to come to the center of the Southern Continent, where they found traces of the infestation of the ancient trolls, and there were already people who took the lead and came to the center of the southern continent and had a fierce battle with the ancient trolls.
According to the masters of the same company, it was the master of the demon clan who fought fiercely with the ancient trolls, and he was already defeated. It's a pity that the experts of the Tiexiong Mountain people have not been able to find any trace of the ancient troll, and they suspect that the ancient troll has escaped from the Southern Continent and reached other places.
Originally, the master only revealed the information to a very few people close to him, but how could there be an impermeable wall in the world, and the countries on the Golden Fire Continent and the Nanchanaburi Continent, which were closest to the Southern Continent, had learned the news one after another, and they were very nervous, for fear that the ancient trolls would come to their own realm, and they had strengthened their vigilance in the direction of the Southern Continent.
Chenguang listened to what Niu Er said, and his heart was both happy and anxious. The good thing is that the master and they have returned safely from the Southern Continent, and they have not been ambushed by the Heavenly Sword Yu Qian and others, and the anxious thing is that the master has not been able to find Wei Xue, whether she is safe or dangerous, he has no way of knowing. So he hurriedly urged Guo Xinzhu to return quickly. Of course, they wouldn't really throw Niu Er into the sea, and since he wanted to convince the pirates, it wouldn't hurt to let him try.
Back on Paradise Island, Amytis heard about this, and comforted Chenguang and said: "Sister Jiren has her own heavenly appearance, and she was robbed from the Valley of the Star Moon by the monster at the beginning, so she returned safely, and this time she also carried the right holy white tiger talisman given by the demon ancestor, it should be fine." However, this time, we have to change our itinerary and return directly to the Shenzhou Continent, and we don't need to go back to the Southern Continent. ”
Chenguang listened, and had to nod in agreement.
And that Niu Er, since he came to Paradise Island, has been lobbying everywhere, and everyone can't stand him, and they all look away from him. But he never thought that he and the refuge had become good friends, and the two were often tired of whispering together. When Chenguang asked about refuge, he mysteriously said that Niu Er was a rare genius, and he knew it every day.
A few people had no choice but to go with them, one old and one young.
Because this time everyone didn't have to go back to the Southern Continent, but to return to the Shenzhou Continent, they had to pass through Chess Island, and everyone was originally a little discouraged and didn't plan to play Chess Island again, but this time they had to take it.
So after settling down the Devil's Islands, everyone began to play the idea of Chess Island again. Dawnlight often flew alone to investigate, but the owner of Naektu was very cunning, and actually built the old nest in a canyon on the island, and on both sides of the canyon was where the islanders and Jaktu's men lived. Chenguang didn't dare to fly down, so he had to circle around the chess island and explore the terrain. Finally, a relatively empty waterway was found on the southwest side of the island, and only a small island was passed near the channel, and the island was a flat beach in this direction, which was conducive to attacking.
So half a year after Chenguang and his people came to the Devil's Islands, they began to conquer Qi Island for the second time.
Niu Er wanted to follow him alive and dead, saying that he wanted to stop everyone from making more sins, but everyone couldn't compete with him, so they had to let him follow. Secretly, they were a little wary of him.
This time, everyone did not choose to rush forward, but arranged two small boats to guard the front and rear, and the main force was concentrated on one large ship, and the three boats were about two or three miles apart, ready to support and echo.
Several people were discussing the matter of landing on the island in the cabin, when the ship guarding ahead suddenly sent a signal, so Kuang Xinzhu ordered the big ship to stop and wait for the return from the front.
After a while, the small boat of the sentry in front of him came closer, this small boat was smaller than the Tianzhou that Chenguang and a few people were riding in the beginning, there were about twenty people on the small boat, all of them were Long's carefully selected right-hand men, who had been grinding and rolling on the sea all year round, and the water was excellent, so they were put in charge of fighting the outpost.
The small boat approached the big boat, and it turned out that a drifting man had been found on the sea.
Several people came to the side of the boat and looked at the unconscious man who had been pulled up. The man was about forty years old, of average height, and slightly thin. His clothes were in tatters, and his body had been soaked in water for too long, and he was a little white. With a full beard and extremely heavy dark circles, it seems like he hasn't slept well for a long time. The most bizarre thing is that his hair, strands of hair are braided into many small braids, making it seem as if there are countless small snakes coiled on his head, which makes people look a little creepy.
The dragon frowned and looked at the man, then turned around and asked what to do with Xinzhu.
Guo Xinzhu said: "Wake him up, probe his bottom, and throw him into the sea to feed the fish if there is nothing special." ”
"Don't do this!" As soon as Guo Xinzhu's words fell, someone behind him stopped him. Everyone immediately lamented when they heard it, and sure enough, Niu Er squeezed out from behind and said: "Saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, how can you careless of people's lives......"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Guo Xinzhu waved his hand again and again and said, "Okay, okay, wake him up, and when we finish asking, I'll leave it to you to take care of, okay." ”
This time, Niu Er was a little troubled, and he muttered, "This ...... I...... I and I are both men, how can I take care of them?"
Everyone didn't care about him muttering, and several people pulled the man into the cabin, picked up his slap and was about to slap him, but saw that the man was excited, "Teng" bounced up from the ground, knelt on the ground and worshipped, and shouted: "The king spares his life, the king spares his life, the villain will not run away, and he will not run away again......" He kept reading while worshipping. After worshipping for a while, he seemed to find that something was wrong with the situation, and quietly raised his eyes to see a group of people around him, all staring at him in a daze.
This person said "oops", sat on the ground, a little frightened, and asked with some hesitation: "Who are you, this is not Qi Island, I ...... How did I end up here?"
Guo Xinzhu squatted down, looked at him level and said: "This is the sea off Chess Island, I am the Bamboo King of the Devil's Islands, you were drifting on the sea and were rescued by me." Now I want to hear your story. ”
When this person heard this, he immediately cried, hugged Guan Xinzhu and said: "Bamboo King, you are our savior, we have been looking forward to you for a long time!"
Guo Xinzhu hurriedly pushed him away, ran to the side and found a handkerchief to wipe the armor on his body.
The man continued to cry and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I was originally an islander on Qi Island, and I originally made a living from fishing, but since the king of Jacktu, who eats people, ...... When the Great Demon came, he forced us to work for him, to build his dungeon, to build a camp, to build a ship, and every day we had to work for a long time, and we had not had enough to eat. Everyone couldn't bear it, and they tried to run away many times, but the demon ...... He took control of all the boats on the island, and we had to jump into the water and escape, but we could not outrun the demon's boat, and in the end we either drowned or were captured. It's okay to drown, but the woman who was captured was eaten alive by him, and the man ...... The most terrifying thing is that the demon wants us to sacrifice a child every month, and we ...... "At this point, this man is crying."
A group of people frowned when they heard this, and Chenguang couldn't help but ask, "You seem to be saying the opposite, male and female." ”
This man looked up at Chenguang with teary eyes and said, "That's right, that's why I said he was a demon......! Woowoowoo......"
Amytis hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry, we are here to rescue you." ”
The dragon interjected coldly on the side: "What is your surname, and how did you escape?"
The man whimpered and said: "The villain's name is Sparrow, the ancestor was originally a fisherman from the mainland of Nanchanaburi, and then the family fell into the middle of the road, and the ancestor left the mainland with some people and came to this chess island to make a living by fishing. I am able to escape this time, and I would like to thank all of you. The demon is said to be busy dealing with your attack, and most of his men were transferred to the southeast of the island to set up defenses, and yesterday a dozen of our islanders found an opportunity to escape from the southwest, but unfortunately they were chased and killed by the demon's men along the way, and our boat was destroyed by them, and most of the people were ...... I and two or three of my companions floated on the sea with the broken wood of the boat, and I was the only one left when we fled here......"
After listening to him, the dragon stood aside coldly and stopped talking, and Amytis said: "What you said is reasonable, but we can't believe you for the time being, so we have to wronged you to stay in the bilge first, and then we can release you when we capture Chess Island and capture the owner of Jacktu Island." What do you think?"
Sparrow wiped the water stains from his face and said loudly: "My family and folks are still on the island, since you adults are here to rescue us, how can I be greedy for life and afraid of death! The terrain on the island is strange, and the road is difficult to find, but Sparrow has been staying for many years, you rush up, I am afraid that you will fall into his way, I am willing to lead you to overthrow the Great Demon of Jacktu and rescue my family and villagers." ”
Several people were a little puzzled when they saw the righteousness he said, and Xin Zhu said beside him: "You said that the road to Qidao is difficult to find, how can you say this?"
Sparrow said: "Chess Island is not only because there are many islands around here, but also because Chess Island itself is a big labyrinth. When my ancestors came here, they were trapped in the dense forests and canyons on the chess island, and almost trapped in them, and then a master from the Shenzhou continent rescued my ancestors, and said that the dense forests and canyons on the island naturally formed a nine palaces and eight formations, and people who did not understand the formation entered rashly, and they were trapped in it. This master claimed to have come here to look for the elixir, but unfortunately there was no elixir in the world, and he couldn't find it, so he couldn't go back. Later, this master took his ancestors and his companions to take root here, and it was also this master who named the island Qidao. ”
After listening to his explanation, everyone was relieved. Chenguang looked at Guo Xinzhu, although she was wearing a mask and couldn't see her expression, her eyes still told Chenguang clearly: "I didn't lie to you." ”
Amytis said, "Do you know how many men Jacktu has?"
Sparrow said: "When the Jacktu Demon came to Chess Island, he brought thirty or fifty of his subordinates, and all of us islanders were unbearable with his atrocities, and everyone wanted to escape from Chess Island. ”
"Where's Jacktoh's lair?" asked Ametis again.
"He built an underground palace in the underground cave of Qi Island, and he and half of his men lived in it, and the other men lived in our village and watched over us. Ladies and gentlemen, as long as you attack the chess island, the villain will call to the village, and ensure that all the islanders will turn against each other. ”
Amytis nodded, "In that case, you will walk with us and show us the way." As he spoke, he looked at a few people around him, but everyone didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Sparrow seemed very happy about this, and immediately burst into tears and laughed, and in the blink of an eye, he was entangled in the bamboo.
"Bamboo King, you have always worked hard, the villain knows that there is a special fruit food on the chess island, the flesh is delicate, the water is very much, but it is sweet but not greasy, it is really the best in the fruit, you must taste it, the king. ”
"Don't you know, my lord, there is a flower on the island of chess that is also very special, this kind of words are extremely delicate, but the smell is unpleasant, and the smell makes people hallucinate, you must be careful. ”
"Your ......, Your King"
Guo Xinzhu also seemed to be a little tired of him being so attentive, stood up and raised his voice: "Sparrow, you just drifted on the sea for a day, why are you still so energetic at this moment?" Sparrow's body trembled, and he immediately twisted again: "This ...... The little one admires your wisdom and martial arts, and you always come to rescue us, and the little one just wants to do a little bit for you. ”
Guo Xinzhu waved his hand and said: "This king knows, but at this moment, you still have to rest more, and you will be busy when you go to the island in a while." ”
Sparrow hurriedly said: "Your husband, you are delicate and expensive, of course you can't soak in the water for too long, but the little one has been used to rolling on the sea since he was a child, and it doesn't matter if he drifts on the sea for three or two days." ”
Guo Xinzhu sighed, ignored him anymore, and said to Chenguang next to him: "I'm tired, go to the cabin to rest for a while, and then call me when you get to Qi Island." Morninglight looked at her, then at Sparrow, and smiled and nodded.
Guo Xinzhu turned around and walked towards the cabin, but Sparrow said behind him: "King, you don't have to worry, the little one is very familiar with the chess island, and when I get to the small one, I will call you! The little one will take you to see the ......" Guo Xinzhu didn't hear it, and rushed into the cabin in two steps, and closed the hatch with one hand.
Behind them, Amytis and the dragon were secretly biting their ears. The two came behind Sparrow, and the dragon carried Sparrow in front of him, and Amytis glared at the poor man and said, "Although the Bamboo King should go with you, you'd better be honest and don't play any tricks, we will keep an eye on you, otherwise ......." As she spoke, a cold light flashed, and a large vat placed next to her instantly became an ice sculpture.
Looking at Sparrow's frightened eyes, Amytis smiled smugly and said, "Remember." Sparrow nodded quickly. The two of them let him go.
Morninglight smiled and shook his head behind them, but he didn't see a sly look in Sparrow's eyes as he bowed his head and turned away.
Half a day later, the sentinel ship in front sent a message that they had landed on the island. Everyone came to the bow of the ship, and the chess island was just a stone's throw away. The island is densely wooded, the mountains are stacked, the clouds and mist are swirling on the mountainside, and the birds are flying in the sky, which looks like a fairyland on earth. With a wave of his hand, the dragon immediately ordered the sailors to land on the island. Chenguang looked at Qidao, turned his head to look at Amytis, and met her gaze at him, and the two looked at each other and smiled. Chenguang smiled gratefully, but Amytis smiled bitterly. Pray for the island, we're still here.
