Chapter 336: The Source of [Madness].
"In any case, we must take the treasure before the Facelings find out."
"That's right, the Facelings are using the [Stygian Tide] to consume us, and we can't let them succeed!"
"I know a reliable captain who can provide us with a warship." ...... the base of the [Holy Rain Society], there was a lot of noise at the moment, discussing the strategic plan.
According to Xu Jiang's thoughts, he would either find an excuse to leave here, or find a way to expose Zhu Weaving.
But I didn't expect that the [Holy Rain Society] had an accident first. The cause was a seriously injured sailor who ran to the base of the [Holy Rain Society] and reported a shocking secret.
"[Stygian Tide] is a trick of the Faceless Ones, I piloted the ship, secretly followed behind the army of the Netherworld at the ebbing tide, and discovered an island overseas." The man in front of him looked at the serious injury, and the blood on his shoulder was gushing, but he was very energetic, and he told the cause and effect clearly.
According to him, the Nether army came from a desert island, and around the desert island, there were also ships of the garrison, and the Nether army must have been attracted by the Faceless.
Xu Jiang listened on the sidelines, and already wanted to scold: 'That's it? Just such a little information, you scolded the Facelings for more than two hours?
According to legend, the Wenlong Sea is boundless, and it is the place where the desolate dragon will last break through the realm and manifest itself. As for whether it is true or not, no one can say clearly, after all, the Wenlong Sea is boundless, and the wild beasts in the sea are vertical and horizontal, and no one has been able to cross the Wenlong Sea and reach the other side of the ocean.
Even many sea ruins and mysterious islands are unresolved, and you can't see one of the warships of the garrison swaying, so let's just say that someone else has a plan.
There were some sane people present, and they couldn't help but ask: "The area you mentioned is perennially filled with terrifying black storms, how did you get there?" ”
"I didn't think much about it at the time, I just followed the path of the Netherworld, and it passed quickly. I drew the route, which should be the way through the storm. "To be honest, this one is getting more and more mysterious.
With those netherworldly stupid brains, this dense number of horrors can really be orderly and follow the path through the storm?
Seeing that everyone was talking, Zhu Zhi also released a bombshell.
"Ladies and gentlemen, any blockade must have its own unique way to break it. What's more, we had to go to this place. ”
"Do you have to go? Why? ”
"Because this is the key to controlling the [Stygian Tide]! If the Facelings can control them, then we should, too. As soon as Zhu Weaving's words came out, the eyes of the audience lit up.
Any righteousness is not as important as a small life; But if the benefits are so great, it's actually okay not to die.
If the Black Storm is the barrier of trials, and the island is the key to control the Netherworld, then whoever gets it will become the king of the Netherworld army.
Not to mention defeating the Faceless Crowd, with this army, anyone can dominate one side and enjoy endless glory and wealth.
For a while, everyone's hearts moved.
"Fight, I've long wanted to break through that storm."
"That's right, we are all begging for a living at sea, how can there be a storm that cannot be conquered."
"Take action, fight the Facelings, and take back control of the Netherworld." …… Xu Jiang's cold eyes swept over the audience, except for a small part of the slight shaking of their heads, and decided to give up the adventure.
Most of the people present were enthusiastic and excited, and seemed to be looking forward to a prosperous life after they got the treasure.
But didn't you think that the news of this Nether Army was probably a fake news deliberately released by the Facelesss?
Just such an ordinary sailor, can track the Netherworld army? Zhu Zhi turned his head and looked at him, obviously asking: Do you believe it?
Xu Jiang's answer, of course, was: Yes.
"I'm with you, I'm a scholar, and I've studied these ruins very well." Zhu Zhi had a smile on her face, and according to the task given to her by the flower umbrella, she was to pull up all the combat power as much as possible and go to that place to explore the way together.
Originally, I thought that Yan Wu had no desires and no desires, and she was going to arrange for her sisters to enlighten and enlighten tonight, but now it seems that there is no need, driven by the secret treasure, she can also spend less time talking.
To be honest, for the ethereal secret treasure, Xu Jiang is more interested in this person's tongue. However, he agreed to join because he also wanted to go to sea.
When I came to Wenlong Port, I wanted to see the situation here with my own eyes, after all, it was a little strange that a huge human city was so deeply infiltrated by the Faceless Crowd.
Second, he also wanted to come here to find a long-distance ship and go overseas to meet the godfather of the golden carp. encountered the attack of the [Stygian Tide], and now there are very few ships going out, and there just happened to be one here, of course Xu Jiang agreed.
…… The secret treasure is moving, and when the [Dark Tide] hits, these people cower and hide. Hearing that there were treasures, the efficiency of the battle was terrifying, and in just one day, the battleship was ready, and all kinds of supplies were available.
The garrison regiment was even more blind, and let their mighty more than 300 people board the ship, and the preparations were stunned without a word of cross-examination.
Instead, he got on the boat, and Xu Jiang looked at the captain at the helm with some surprise: "Huh? Aren't you a tavern owner? ”
"Haha! It's you, boy. In this Wenlong Harbor, there are a few people who don't live at sea, and when I heard that you were going to attack the [Black Eye], I followed, this is my lifelong dream. "The tavern is for life; At the helm, it's for the dream.
Looking at the appearance of this bearded uncle, I am afraid that as soon as he received the news, he volunteered to participate.
It is enough to prove that this righteous army is just joking. Other people's expeditions, at least with an investigation, set off, and they simply received information from the enemy and set off.
All the staff, all ad hoc improvisation, is really enough.
"Hey~ you shouldn't have come." Xu Jiang couldn't help but sigh when he saw the anchor rising and the sails raised.
He needs to find a ship to go to sea, and it is the same with everyone, and when he gets to sea, it is even safer than staying in Wenlong Harbor.
It's just that the people on this boat can survive a few times in the end, and Xu Jiang really doesn't know. Uncle Beard glanced left and right a few times, and found that no one was paying attention, so he laughed softly: "It seems that you also know that there is a problem!" I'm old, and if I don't come again, I won't have a chance, but it's you, you drill into the trap by yourself, why bother? ”
"Oh? Uncle, you seem to know a lot of things! ”
"Heh, I don't know much, but for this [Black Magic Eye], I am the person who knows the most in Wenlong Harbor." [Black Eye] is the name of their destination sea.
That sea area is shrouded in thunder and storms all year round, and ships can't get close to it at all. Even if they arranged for planes to investigate, they could only look from a distance and see an eye-like, black storm area.
No ship can pass through, and it is rumored that this place hides a shocking treasure. Uncle Beard didn't understand any of the [Holy Rain Society's] schemes, but he knew one thing very well.
"There is no secret treasure of [Stygian Tide] in there, but the secret of Wen Longhai is hidden." The two spoke in a low voice and did not attract much attention.
Perhaps everyone is more concerned about the treasure of the rich country. At this moment, he gathered next to Zhu Weaving, taking a big gamble of life as a beauty outing, and imagining a happy life after getting the secret treasure.
"But they don't know that there may be a gap in the storm, but if they want to pass, it is not something that ordinary ships can handle." Uncle Beard grinned, he knew it was a lie from the first time he heard the news.
Just like this Wenlong Sea, why it has not been conquered so far, it is the sea water in this place that is full of terrifying corrupt forces.
Even the strongest alloy battleship you have will wear out and sink in a matter of days when you get here. Even if it is a fighter plane flying in the sky, if it encounters a heavy rainstorm and is not maintained in time, it is likely to crash.
The only thing that can resist corrosion is only a kind of wood that is a specialty of Wenlonggang, which is also the reason why the general buildings of Wenlonggang are wooden structures.
"It's not enough to simply break the sea wood, you also need a special coating to resist the [Black Storm]." Uncle Beard patted his big ship proudly.
The three-masted sailboat, with a spacious and heavy hull, is not a problem at all to carry more than 300 people, but it can only be regarded as an upper-medium existence in the Wenlong Port, where warships are developed.
Xu Jiang saw a giant beast warship like a castle in the distance, which was called domineering.
"It's useless, that's useless." The bearded captain took out the horn from his waist and put it to his mouth and let out a long roar.
The dull roar seemed to wake up the old man. The sails lit up with strange incantations, and the wind lifted itself, pushing away the waves and setting sail.
On the hull, there is a strange camouflage, like a protective coating, blocking those invading waves.
Captain Beard said proudly: "My ship, but my ancestors left it to me, the hull of the ship is coated with the bile of the deep sea poison, only my ship is qualified to impact the [Black Storm]. "No wonder, Zhu Zhi will invite this retired uncle out of the mountain, it turns out that only his ship can impact the [Black Storm].
This also proves that the sailor who delivered the message was lying at all, and there must be another conspiracy behind it Captain Beard glanced at Xu Jiang and chuckled: "To be honest, when I saw you for the first time, I knew that you were not ordinary, few people could see [Stygian Tide], and you were so calm." Xu Jiang shrugged and accepted the compliment.
Leaning against the mast, he leisurely lit a cigarette and replied steadily: "I came here to deal with the Faceless Crowd, just [Stygian Tide], it's nothing. "Dealing with the Faceless?
What a big breath. Captain Beard seemed to think of something, glanced at Zhu Weaving, and asked in a low voice, "Since you have this thought, why do you want to say it!" Aren't you afraid of being heard? ”
"What do you hear?" Xu Jiang shrugged his shoulders and looked at the city behind him, and in front of him was the vast sea.
"Wenlong Harbor is controlled by the Faceless Crowd, they are outnumbered, and I am afraid of them. Now on the sea, even if everyone is on the same page, they can't hurt me for half a point. The domineering reply made Captain Beard a little surprised, and a burst of surprise followed, but in the end, this surprise turned into disappointment.
Shaking his head slightly, he lit his pipe and exhaled a deep puff of smoke.
"It's too difficult to defeat the Facelesss, Wenlong Harbor has been deeply rooted here for hundreds of years, how can it be so easy to eradicate." Captain Hu's words made Xu Jiang a little surprised.
"Entrenched for hundreds of years? Didn't they just recently occupy the port of Wenlong? "In Xu Jiang's intelligence, it was the [Mechanical Tree of Truth] that was accidentally discovered in the sea recently, so the flower umbrella was desperate and forcibly took control of Wenlong Port.
Where did these hundreds of years of saying come from? Captain Beard took the helm and told Xu Jiang the story passed down from his ancestors.
"Legend has it that this Wenlong Sea is the place of origin of the Faceless, and because of this, the sea is full of corrupt power."
"Only by slashing the 3 [Black Eyes] and unlocking the curse can we completely end the [Madness]."
"It is because of this legend that my ancestors worked together to build this ship, hoping to pass through the black storm and destroy the source of the world's calamity." The story of Captain Beard is like a dark fairy tale that has been handed down to this day, hoping that for future generations, someone can ride the wind and waves and break through the terrifying forbidden sea.
But why, the story that Xu Jiang knows is that [Black Night] led [Madness] into the world in order to create a god-making plan?
There is some conflict in this, and there seems to be some kind of connection, it seems that this voyage has come to the right place.
…… I sailed at sea for three days, and the days were spent in boredom and passion. For Xu Jiang, it was very boring, after all, he knew that Zhu Zhi had a problem, so he didn't dare to get too close.
On the contrary, it was the other crew members, and the one who was hi at night was called a joy, and all kinds of two-person, three-person, and thirty-person parties were simply happy.
In addition, while the ship is sailing, it is inevitable to encounter some sea monsters. The bearded captain's deep-sea poison camouflage is still very powerful, and a lot of trouble is avoided, and if he really encounters a large sea monster, everyone can also use the ship's artillery to repel it.
Three days, it can be regarded as a thrilling time, and I successfully came to the area outside the [Black Eye]. Thundered!
Before he could get closer, he heard an earth-shattering loud noise. The sky in a radius of thousands of miles has been darkened, and it is as if a wall of wind has appeared in front of me, stretching for hundreds of miles, blocking the way of ships.
In the dark storm, lightning and thunder roared, and the faces of the people were painful when the wind blew.
"Is this the Black Eye? It's really, so scary! "Somebody got here and started to retreat.
This catastrophic horrific vision is simply not something that human beings can resist. If you really rush in, I'm afraid that even the bones will be shattered.
"Can't you go underwater?" Someone asked. Captain Beard shook his head: "It's useless, there is an even more terrible undercurrent underwater, the ship loses power, and if you use secret techniques to dive in, you will only die faster." As he spoke, he looked back at the sailor who had provided the information, and he said that he had found the crack in the storm.
The sailor was also very nervous now, swallowed his saliva, and took out a drawing from his bosom.
"I'm sure I know the path, wait! Path...... It should be here......"
"Well, although the storm here is a little unusual, the intensity is still too high, and the ships can't get in at all."
"Can't get in? Then I'll try this spell, it should cut the storm. "Good guys, live try?
Are you sure you're not taking us to death?
"Ahzaku! Whew~Dada! The sailor who led the way, the incantation was very astringent, and he could see the map in his hand lit up slightly, but it was obvious that the incantation was not very standard, and he did not succeed in setting off.
Some crew members have already found the clue: "Are you fooling us?" I don't think you've been in at all. Where did the spell in your hand come from? ”
"This is my ancestral ......"
"What! You're kidding us! Tie him up! The anger of the deceived made the crowd excited, and they were ready to throw the sailor into the sea to feed the fish.
And just when Zhu Zhi was about to come forward to calm down, Xu Jiang stood up first.
"His mantra should be correct, but this man can't read it. Give me the spell, I'll come. Xu Jiang suddenly came forward and wanted to take over the map, which was a little unexpected.
The sailor was at a loss for a moment, and turned his head to look at Zhu Weaving. Zhu Zhi's face was also full of astonishment now, and his eyes were staring at Xu Jiang tightly: "Do you know this spell?" ”
"Of course, what he just recited was a rune spell, and it was the power of the Divine Lantern Clan. You can't turn it on, and I can. "Humans know rune spells?
Is it possible? Zhu Zhi's eyes froze, and suddenly a possibility came to mind: "You! You're not Yanwu, are you ......?"
"Congratulations, you guessed it. It's a pity that you can't contact the flower umbrella in this place. "Flower umbrellas? The Facelings?
Does Zhu Ori have a relationship with the Faceless? The surrounding crew members looked dazed, not knowing what the conversation between the two meant.
But they didn't need to know anymore, because in the next second, they cracked. The reason is that Zhu Weaving is completely cracked.
Knowing that the plan was revealed, Zhu Zhi took the lead in attacking, and a needle of [Mad Reagent] hit the artery and began to transform.
With his hands turned back, the roots of his legs were directly cracked, revealing a bloody mouth. Zhu Weaving? Inexistent.
In front of them now is a terrifying spider monster! So, this is what you're doing these days, night after night?
Xu Jiang glanced at everyone: "You guys...... What an appetite! ”
