Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Stars Return Home
Everyone had ever seen such a monster-like flower, they were all stunned, or the morning light was the first to react, as soon as he raised his hand, the golden stick in his hand swept towards the flower, but the flower suddenly retracted to the side of the rock crevice, and then a large pod of flowers stretched out from the rock crevice, sweeping the sky towards everyone.
All the people hurriedly brandished their weapons to resist the attack of these flowers, but these flowers were very difficult, attacking its petals, it dodged left and right, and if it attacked its vines, it retreated into the cracks of the rocks, and for a while, the field was in chaos.
Chenguang hit the golden stick in his hand and hit the waning moon again with his backhand, but this time the petals were difficult to dodge, only to hear the sound of gold and iron and a muffled snort, the flower that fought with Chenguang disappeared, and a sailor fell to the ground.
At this time, Chenguang suddenly remembered the scene when he saw the dragon just now, and his heart moved, and he hurriedly closed his eyes, carefully feeling the movement around him, but suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that at this moment, Xinzhu was wielding a jade sword and fighting with Amytis, and the other sailors were fighting each other, and in front of him was a sailor who had just been knocked down by himself. When the morning light opened again, everyone was still fighting with the flowers, and when they turned around, a huge nightmare flower was like a giant beast with a bloody mouth open, and it was rushing towards them.
Chenguang hurriedly closed his eyes and shouted: "It's all an illusion, everyone stop, close your eyes, hurry back!"
His shout immediately woke everyone up, everyone hurriedly closed their eyes and retreated, at this moment, Chenguang, who was retreating to the front, felt that someone had come behind him, he was retreating with his eyes closed at the moment, there was no time to resist, a short sword was already on his neck, and then he heard Sparrow's smug laughter.
"You're a clever kid, but you still can't escape my palm, hahahaha. With his laughter, dozens of figures appeared among the rocky trees around them, condescendingly surrounding them.
Guo Xinzhu and Amytis were also aware of the current situation, and Guo Xinzhu asked Sparrow in a deep voice, "You are Jacktu." ”
Sparrow smiled and didn't answer, but one of the people in the rocky tree answered, "Yes, he is the embodiment of evil and the devil, Jacktu Sparrow, the owner of Chess Island." ”
Guo Xinzhu said: "I didn't expect you to take risks alone and lure us here, it was our mistake, but it is not easy to defeat us." As she spoke, she pointed the jade sword at Jacktu behind Chenguang, and the others immediately gathered around to form a circle, surrounding Jacktu and Chenguang in the middle.
Guo Xinzhu pointed his sword at Jacktu and said, "If you want to defeat us, let's take you down first!"
The man on the tree tree: "The famous Bamboo King is really difficult to deal with, but it is useless for you to deal with the Jacktu Island Lord, our purpose is not to defeat you." ”
"Well, why did you go to such lengths to bring us here?" asked Guo Xinzhu, puzzled.
"We ......"
"Jose, shut up!" the owner hasn't spoken yet!" Jacto shouted behind Morninglight. But his subordinate named Jose didn't seem to buy his account, and said to himself, "Lord Islander, you are surrounded by them at this moment, and we will not listen to you. ”
As he spoke, he turned to Guo Xinzhu and said, "Bamboo King, we hope you can take Jacktu away." ”
"What! you bastards! traitor, have you soaked in the sea for too long and your brain is in water!" Jacktu couldn't help but curse, and Xinzhu stopped him, and asked Jose, "How can we trust you?"
"We were originally mercenaries on the mainland of Nanchanaburi, and this Jacktu lured us to this distant island in the name of island treasure hunting, but we never thought about staying for many years. This man usually yelled at us, and he always went first when there was a good one, and when there was a danger, we withstood it, and many brothers died because of it. After all these years, we've had enough of him. Now we want you to take him away, and if you agree, we will let you go. ”
Guo Xinzhu said puzzledly: "If you want to overthrow him, won't you do it yourself, why do you need us?"
Jose said: "We don't want to slaughter him with our own hands, but unfortunately we signed an agreement with him that as long as he pays us, we must always obey his orders, and we must not be enemies of him, otherwise we will be ruined and will not die well." We mercenaries value reputation above life, and we've been subject to this agreement for so many years, and we don't know when it would have been if you hadn't come this time. ”
Jacktu couldn't help but shout at this moment: "Jose, you still remember our agreement, now I order you to attack them quickly!"
Jose said coldly: "At the end of the agreement, we still had one more, if we knew that we were defeated, we could protect ourselves first, and we didn't have to fight hard." The strength of the Bamboo King and his entourage is profound, and we have already fought once with the young man in your hand, even if the ten of us are together, it is difficult to defeat him, not to mention that there are so many masters of the Bamboo King. Now our killer nightmare flower can't work, and we can only protect ourselves, but we don't dare to make a mistake. ”
Jacktu jumped and said: "Jose, you bastard, if the owner of this island does not die this time, he will definitely peel you and cramp!"
Guo Xinzhu said coldly on the side: "Don't talk about others first, do you have this opportunity?"
Jose said on the tree: "Did the Bamboo King agree to our request?"
Guo Xinzhu said: "Of course, we only have one enemy here now, and that is him. As he spoke, the jade sword in his hand pointed directly at Jacktu.
Jose said: "King Bamboo, this is the antidote to the nightmare flower, just rub it on the bottom of your nose and eyelids, you can use it first." As he spoke, he waved his hand and threw down a burden.
Guo Xinzhu reached out and took it, and felt out the items in the baggage, which were some seaweed mud like mud.
Guo Xinzhu said: "Aren't you afraid that we will regret it?"
Jose said: "We have heard of the name of the Bamboo King for a long time, and we can trust you as soon as you say it." ”
One of Xinzhu's subordinates took the burden from her and took the lead in trying the antidote, he wiped the antidote, and it worked after opening his eyes.
Seeing that Guo Xinzhu and his party had solved the flower poison of the Nightmare Flower, Jose said: "King Bamboo, you have detoxified, so hurry up and take Jacktu away, but don't kill him on Qi Island, because if we see that you want to kill him, we still have to do it." ”
Jacktu was startled when he heard this, and the short sword in his hand trembled a little, but he still forced himself to calm down and said: "Don't think that you can bring down the island master together, as long as the island master survives today's crisis, you still have to listen to me." As he spoke, he pointed his short sword at Guan Xinzhu and said, "You guys hurry back, or I'm not welcome!" As he spoke, he pressed the short sword in his hand against Chenguang's neck with his backhand.
Chenguang said slowly: "Jacktu, you have miscalculated this time, do you think you can threaten me with me? I am just an outsider here, even if you kill me, you will not be able to change your situation." ”
Jack Tu said, "No...... It's impossible, I obviously see that they all listen to you very much, how can they ......" He said while looking at Guan Xinzhu and Amytis, but saw them standing next to them with a big thorn, and it really looked like they didn't care about themselves, and Xinzhu even said: "You hurry up, we are really afraid that he will hurt him by mistake in your hands, and we can act without him." ”
Jacktu said: "You, are you so ruthless that you let your companion die?"
Guo Xinzhu smiled and said: "Of course we can't bear to watch him die, but he is now in your hands, we have no choice, but if you kill him, we will double it on you to get him back, although I kill very little, but I have some ways to kill people slowly, and at least ten days and half a month will kill you, which can be regarded as comforting his spirit in the sky." ”
"You...... You're the devil!"
Guo Xinzhu laughed and said: "Jacktu, you are known as the Lord of the Devil Island, and at this moment, you actually call others the devil." Originally, if you surrendered obediently, we might still be able to consider letting you live, but seeing that you are so tenacious, it will leave you behind!" Unexpectedly, Jacktu suddenly threw the short sword in his hand, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "I surrender, I surrender, you have to talk about it, I really surrender!"
Chenguang walked to Guo Xinzhu's side, wiped the antidote, and then turned to look at Jack Tu and smiled: "You are also the master of the Devil Island? ”
She asked two of her men to pick up Jacktu and take him back to the ship, and then asked Jose, who had come down from the tree with his men, "We took him away, I wonder what your plans are in the future?"
Jose bowed his head and said: "We people are wandering around, we have been living here for many years, we are tired of fighting and killing, now that we have overthrown Jacktu, we can be regarded as having a stable place, the brothers are willing to stay, just live here, if you are not willing to stay, there are also a lot of possessions on this island, but after they choose, return to their hometown, or continue to wander." ”
"We are also strangers, we have lived on these islands for generations, and although our hometown is no longer human, we still hope to return to our homeland. But there is no urgency, and these islands are also our second home. It is better for you to unite with us, this sea is rich in goods, and we do not have to worry about life, we are just fishing merchants, and one day we can return to our homeland. ”
Jose rejoiced: "If this is the case, of course it would be very good." It's just that Chess Island is far away from other islands, so I'm afraid it's hard to get in touch. ”
Chenguang said: "It's okay, I can teach you how to form a kite, and it shouldn't be difficult to contact us on this island." ”
Guo Xinzhu also said: "We will not meddle in the affairs of Qi Island, but in the future, if we can be a family, we can also take care of each other on this vast sea, and we will no longer be lonely." ”
Jose arched his hand and said: "Thank you to the Bamboo King, regardless of his previous suspicions, he is willing to lead us and others to live in peace." In the future, the bamboo king will be sent, and despite the orders, the villain and the brothers will go all out. So saying, he took his brother and bowed down.
Guo Xinzhu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Since we are already a family, don't be polite." Let's take Jaketu back first, and you guys take care of this first...... We'll come back in a few days. ”
Jose sent Guo Xinzhu and his party directly to the side of the boat, and everyone said goodbye to each other. Watching the big ship of Guo Xinzhu and others slowly move away, Jose said with a smile: "Island owner, we have done what you said, I wish you a victorious old flag and a beautiful return." ”
On the sea boat, Guo Xinzhu took Jacktu to the bottom cabin and asked, "Jacktu Island Master, do you think we will leave you to the sea to feed the fish, or hang it on the mast to dry?"
Jacktu exclaimed: "Didn't you say that if I surrendered, I would be able to survive?
Guo Xinzhu lazily leaned on the wooden chair and said with a smile: "When did I say that I would let you live? I just said that you can consider it, how can you spare you after spending so much effort on us?"
When Jack Tu heard this, he immediately burst into tears and said: "King Bamboo, I haven't done anything to be sorry for you, I was originally living well on the Chess Island, and you came to attack ...... first" He said, suddenly remembered something, and raised his voice: "King Bamboo, I still have a lot of treasures hidden on the Chess Island, if you always promise to let me go, I will give them all!"
Guo Xinzhu said: "Oh, there is still such a thing, but I am not short of money, and I should be able to find it if I ask Jose to look for it." Or you have other chips, say it and see if it can buy you a life. ”
As soon as Jack Tu heard the joke, he hurriedly said: "I am familiar with the surrounding sea conditions, and I am absolutely competent to be a sailor, and I have many contacts with several ports on the mainland of Nanchanaburi, so I can make a liaison for the king." Also, the agreement they signed with me is still with me, and I can also provide for the king to ensure that they are always obedient. ”
Guo Xinzhu said slowly: "If you hand over their agreement, I will spare your life." ”
Jacktu was overjoyed and said, "Bamboo King, can you talk this time?"
Guo Xinzhu said: "This king can do what he says, and it will cost me a knife to kill you." Hand over the agreement. ”
Jack Tu said with a stumbling face: "The agreement is not on me, in my palace, in my cupboard. ”
Guo Xinzhu immediately said to Chenguang: "Chenguang, you quickly inform Jose and let him find and destroy the agreement." Chenguang nodded and went out.
Jacktu sighed: "The Bamboo King is really affectionate and righteous, and the villain admires it very much!"
After a while, the morning light returned, and everyone knew that the news had been communicated to Jose through the grass kite.
Chenguang looked at Jacktu, and then at Guo Xinzhu and said: "The Devil's Islands are all in the hands of the Bamboo King, which is really gratifying." ”
Amytis, who was on the side, said with a smile: "Xinzhu dominates this island and brings everyone back to the right path, I don't think it should be called the Devil's Islands anymore, it should be changed." ”
Guo Xinzhu also smiled: "Emily, what do you call it?"
Amytis thought for a moment and said, "With so many islands scattered in the sea, it's like stars twinkling in the galaxy, so it's better to call it Xingluo Island." ”
Guo Xinzhu whispered: "Xingluo Island, Xingyue Valley, yes, it's called Xingluo Island." ”
King Zhu said so, and everyone was right. Chenguang bowed to Xinzhu and said, "The matter of Xingluo Island is over, we can also return to the Shenzhou Continent, thank you King Zhu in advance." ”
Before Xinzhu could speak, Jacktu jumped up first and said, "The young man wants to go to the Shenzhou Continent, but he can't go!"
Chenguang was stunned for a moment and asked, "How can I not go?"
Jack Tu said: "Young man, you stay in this isolated island on the sea, you don't know, the Shenzhou Continent has been full of wars, and even the ancient giant beasts have broken out of the ground, and now it is a purgatory!"
As soon as he said this, Chenguang only felt a bang in his head, and he stepped back a few steps, and fell to the ground.
