People are in good spirits when they are happy, and so are ghosts.

A few days after returning from the Ghost Mother Palace that night, although it was still cold, Xiao Shizhu was full of energy and energy all day long. Every time he took Tiankuixing to patrol the camp, he didn't hum a little song, and it was uncomfortable to jump a few times. There is no tension at all about the imminent start of war.

The sergeants looked at it with a blank look on their faces, and they didn't know what was wrong with their general? If they knew that their general had the courage to kiss the ghost mother, they would not only be at a loss.

Early this morning, after breakfast, Xiao Shizhu summoned all the thousands of households in the army to the big tent of the Chinese army, and after giving them training tasks, he left the three demon spirits of Wu Zhiqi, Ying Zhao and Lu Wu alone.

After only the four of them were left in the big tent, Xiao Shizhu asked, "Which of you has fought with Gonggong and Zhurong?" Although when he was in the world, he knew that Gonggong was also called the god of water, and Zhurong was called the god of fire, but the title of this god was nothing more than a myth, and to put it bluntly, these two people were the leaders of the two clans and tribes.

And now he doesn't know the details of the souls of the two people, so he wants to ask more, after all, he knows that he knows that the other is invincible;

When the three demon spirits heard this, Ying Zhao and Lu Wu both shook their heads, and only Wu Zhiqi said: "I have fought with Gonggong, but I am no match for him at sea." ”。

"Oh?" Xiao Shizhu waved his hand, signaling them not to stand and sit down first, then looked at Wu Zhiqi and asked, "Tell me about this co-worker;

"No, although he is good at naval warfare, that is not the main reason for his victory. After thinking about it for a while, Wu Zhiqi said slowly: "The first reason is that his people have excellent water characteristics, and they can dive and fight in the water without leaving the warship. The second is that he has a kind of warship, which is called the Fortune Boat. This type of warship is as tall as a building, with a wide bottom and a high bow and tail, and guards on both sides. The whole ship is divided into four layers, the lower layer is equipped with earth and stone ballast, the second floor is inhabited by soldiers, the third floor is the main operating place, and the upper floor is the combat site. ”。

"In a naval battle, our sea falcons don't have to fight against it. The bow of the ship was high, and it had a strong shock device, which could plow and sink the enemy ship by pressing down on the wind, and the sea falcon could only sink in front of it. Wu Zhiqi said this, and said no more.

There is no need to say anything more, just this kind of large warship, which is well maneuverable and can advance and retreat in both shallow and deep seas, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has an advantage at sea; But nothing can be completely infallible, and it is an eternal and unchanging law from the human world to the underworld. If he has an advantage in naval warfare, then land warfare may not be, and such a warship is too big, and the sea rock pillar forest barrier outside the ghost mother country can make it impossible to enter, so Xiao Shizhu, who saw a glimmer of hope, asked again: "What about their land warfare?"

"I don't know. Wu Zhiqi shook his head lightly and said, "I also fought a naval battle with him, and in the end I barely escaped by means of ship-digging tactics; ”。 As he spoke, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face. can embarrass the former sea hegemon, it seems that this Gonggong's naval combat ability and the power of his warship are indeed worthy of the name.

After hearing this, Xiao Shizhu pondered for a while, and then asked, "What about Zhu Rong?"

"He is good at foot combat, he is a well-known foot combat master in Xuanyanzhou, and the army in the country is also good at using firearms. Wu Zhiqi smiled, and then said with a look of disdain: "But the naval battle is a scum, if it weren't for the border between the two countries, how could he have a draw with the Gonggong? ”。

As soon as his voice fell, Xiao Shizhu asked with a wrinkle: "When you just said about the blessing boat, you said, 'The upper floor is a place of battle, condescending, and often the bow and arrow are sent downward, so you can defeat the enemy'." You only mentioned bows and arrows, didn't the co-workers have artillery on the ship?". After finishing speaking, he habitually gnawed on his nails and pondered.

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Zhiqi nodded in affirmation and said, "It seems that yes, it is said that his people are a little afraid of these weapons that can explode and catch fire; But when I fought him, his fortune ship was a ship that crushed me in the wind, and he didn't use much of the ship's weapons, so I didn't know if there was any artillery. But the absence of muskets is for sure. Gonggong doesn't seem to have much interest in these weapons. After all, his fleet was invincible in the underworld sea, except for the treasure fleet that feared the Emperor of Xudu. ”。

"Haha. Hearing this, Xiao Shizhu smiled. In his opinion, the word invincible is a joke. It would be a fool to have such a large battleship-like ship, and he didn't have a gun.

"It seems that Wu Zhiqi also mentioned the tactics of scuttling the boat to win?" Thinking of this, he hurriedly put away his smile, and then asked Wu Zhiqi: "In that battle, you scuttled his boat and ran away?"

"yes. Recalling Fang Fang, a faint sense of frustration appeared between Wu Zhiqi's eyebrows. He said slowly: "I sent my men to scuttle two of his ships to buy us time to escape." But none of the men I sent came back alive. ”。 After speaking, Wu Zhiqi lowered his head, with a trace of sadness on his face, as if he was mourning the dead brothers in silence.

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Xiao Shizhu, even Yingzhao Lu Wu was surprised. Wu Zhiqi's water monkeys are very water-based, and everyone has a deep understanding of it in the recent battle.

Two miles of sea route, his Wu Zhiqi's subordinates can swim over directly without changing a breath, if it weren't for the underwater dragon king cannon, Xiao Shizhu and they would have fed the fish earlier.

However, Wu Zhiqi's subordinates went to scuttle the Gonggong's boat and never returned, and the Gonggong was unwilling to use firearms, indicating that the sergeants on both sides had conducted a competition underwater. It can be seen that the water nature of the co-workers is better than Wu Zhiqi's subordinates. And fighting in the water must be their forte.

Xiao Shizhu fell into contemplation again, such a fierce enemy, it seems that he can only use the air force of the feather people. But now this wonder army is too few in number.

It's just that in the face of co-workers, there is no need to be afraid, there is not even a musket, and the bow and arrow alone can't hurt the feathers who are flying high; I'm afraid that he and Zhu Rong will really join forces, but the other party has firearms, once the feather army loses too much, it will not be able to replenish the source of troops for a while.

What's more, there is still a ghost king to deal with in the west. The loss of any one side of the country is too great, which may lead to the defeat of the ghost mother country in this battle, and Xiao Shizhu cannot afford to lose now.

Thinking about it, Xiao Shizhu suddenly remembered something, and after his eyes lit up, he asked Wu Zhiqi: "What clans are there in the underworld, whether it is a human soul or a demon soul, is the water nature comparable to that of the Gonggong people?"

"Yes. Wu Zhiqi nodded slightly, blurted out without thinking: "The merman of the Dragon Silk Palace." ”。 As soon as he spoke, Xiao Shizhu had already gotten up and walked to the map, carefully looking for the Dragon Silk Palace.

"Here. Wu Zhiqi then walked over and pointed to a small island on the map, in the south-west part of Sanxing Island. Xiao Shizhu looked at the island carefully, and saw that on the map, this island was only half the size of a three-star island, but the annotation next to it made him curious, and he couldn't wait to see what this island looked like now.

The annotation is written as follows: Longxuan Island is small and large, like a rock pillar, there are many caves criss-crossing on it, deep and unknowable, there are often sea fish shuttling among them, and the mermaids live here.

"Sharks, don't they belong to any country?" Xiao Shizhu asked, turning his head to look at Wu Zhiqi.

"Yes, I have some friendship with their leader, Izumi. Ying Zhao also stepped forward, and without waiting for Wu Zhiqi to speak, he said: "They are a clan with a more irritable temperament among the demon souls. They have always lived at the bottom of the sea, and they obeyed the old gods when they were there, and after the old gods were all dead, they were no longer in the company of any faction. ”。

"They are all in the shape of human heads and fish tails, and they can weave water into silk and tears into beads. His eyes can see clearly in the dark depths of the sea, and he is good at diving, and he is extremely flexible in the sea. Wu Zhiqi took over and said, "When I was still a pirate on Sanxing Island, I had to give them some benefits every year to make it smooth sailing on the sea. ”。 Wu Zhiqi and Ying Zhao's words made Xiao Shizhu immediately make up his mind, no matter what, he would win over the mermaids before the war started.

Judging from their narratives, these mermen are equivalent to submarines in the underworld, and if they can get the help of the mermen, wouldn't they have another chance of winning against the warships of the Gonggong.

In addition, no matter what way Mo Zhai uses to unite Gonggong and Zhurong, it will only be temporary, not long-lasting. It would be good if there was no estrangement between the two sides, and there was absolutely no tacit understanding at all. Once one of them retreats, this temporary combo will collapse at the touch of a button.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shizhu no longer hesitated, hurriedly sat down in front of the bookcase and quickly wrote the next list, and explained that Lu Wu must send it to the ordnance prison today, so that Lai Yueqi could quickly make the items on the list.

And he, planning to take Ying Zhao and Wu Zhiqi, set off for Longxuan Palace at noon.

Judging from the map, this Dragon Silk Island is only sixty or seventy miles away from Shuoyue Island by sea, and if he is fast, he will be able to reach the island tonight.

"I'm afraid they don't want to. After he finished saying his thoughts, Wu Zhiqi said with some embarrassment: "Since the ancient gods passed away one after another, the mermaids no longer obey any souls, including Emperor Xudu. ”。 The temperament of the merman, he Wu Zhiqi couldn't be clearer. Except for the gods, they dare to follow the call. It's not been a year or two since this kind of demon soul has dominated the sea.

"What are you afraid of, my eldest brother is a son of God. Ying Zhao smiled when he heard this, put his arm around Xiao Shizhu's shoulders and said proudly: "The son of God with divine power, he doesn't dare to disagree." ”。

As soon as these words came out, Wu Zhiqi was brows stretched, and he forgot about it when he was in a hurry just now; on Sanxing Island, he saw that Xiao Shizhu was a human soul with divine power, and he hadn't seen it for thousands of years. And only the offspring born by the divine soul in the human world, rather than the people created by them, will be like Xiao Shizhu, that is, the human soul can carry powerful divine power. More importantly, it increases their persuasiveness to the merman.

Xiao Shizhu was the opposite, frowning and looking at Ying Zhao with a puzzled face, and asked blankly: "I said that I am the son of God, but I never said that I have divine power." ”。 I kept thinking, "Don't they know that I was joking?"

"What?" Ying Zhao also looked at him blankly, and after looking at him from head to toe, he chuckled: "Big brother, don't be modest, I can still feel the divine power in your body." ”。 Then he put away his smile, scratched his cheek with his index finger, and said in a rather puzzled tone, "It's just that it seems to be suppressed by something." ”。

Xiao Shizhu was stunned again, and then he was still a little excited, and he shouted and cheered in his heart: "It can't be true, right? Could it be that I also have legendary superpowers? Heaven or earth? Then why didn't I discover these skills of mine when I was in the world?" Thinking of this, a faint look of half-belief appeared on his face again.
