Chapter 118: Red Line
Before sunset that night, Fang Hao followed Mr. Liu Quan to the dock, took a small sailing boat of the Fifth Brigade to the sea, and went to the "Xiling Island" more than ten kilometers away.
Standing at the bow of the boat, looking a little south in the direction of sunset, they could see a gray shadow lying on the surface of the sea, which was the destination of their trip.
On that small island of less than one square kilometer, there was a huge natural cave, more than 100 meters deep underground, and a large amount of Yin Spirit Qi was condensed in the cave, which was an excellent place for refining the spirit body.
When the Fifth Brigade rebuilt Xihai City, it used "Xiling Island" as an early warning outpost, and built a lookout tower on it, as well as a simple small dock.
Later, the communication and detection methods of the stronghold were upgraded, and the warning position was pushed outward by several kilometers, and the "Xiling Island" became a resource island for the combat units of Xihai Town to supply Yin Spirit Qi.
After the sailboat had dropped them off, they returned, and had made an appointment to pick them up the next morning.
There is a mountain range more than 30 meters high on the island, roughly in the shape of a "man", and the hole is located at the foot of the mountain where the two strokes meet.
When he was still quite far away from the underground cave, Fang Hao felt the Yin Spirit Qi escaping from that side.
When I got to the front, I saw that the entrance of the cave was seven or eight meters wide, extending obliquely to the ground, and the extremely rich yin spirit qi overflowed from it, and the spiritual power touched it, and I couldn't help but shudder.
"It's okay at the entrance of the cave, you don't need to go inside, you prepare first." Mr. Liu Quan explained.
Fang Hao took off the big burden he was carrying, first sorted the materials and put them away, then lit the special kerosene stove, set up the iron pot, and threw a large piece of prefabricated masterbatch into the pot to let it slowly melt.
Then a shelf was erected, and the keel of the husk, which had been made in the afternoon, was propped up on it.
The material of the keel is a mixture of a special plant fiber and animal tendon, a total of forty-eight, assembled into a spherical frame, resembling the longitude and latitude lines on a globe.
After making the preparations, he took out the Spirit Storage Jar, injected enough Yuan Qi into it, walked a few steps towards the cave, put the Jar on the ground, and let it absorb the Yin Spirit Qi on its own.
By this time it was completely dark, and the island was extremely quiet, except for the distant sound of waves crashing against the rocks.
Very few living creatures are willing to get close to the Yin Spirit, so there are few birds and beasts on the island. Some seabirds stop farther away from their burrows during the day, but never use them as a habitat.
For the Yuan, even if he has the talent of a spirit, staying in this environment for a long time is also harmful to the body. This is also one of the reasons why the Fifth Brigade moved the sentry post.
There was no one else around, Fang Hao looked at Mr. Liu Quan, and asked the question that had been held all afternoon: "Teacher, captain fisherman, it didn't take long for them to find all the murderers, do you think they have noticed that group of people a long time ago?" ”
"That's natural, otherwise he's not too incompetent as a captain."
"Then why didn't they stop it in advance? They may not know that the other party is going to use the Leech King Gu, but they must know that the other party will do bad things. ”
"After all, Xihai City is not a town in our world, and the natives here are sometimes very reasonable, and if they don't show tangible evidence of their crimes, they will directly deal with those people, and the natives will be unconvinced, and maybe there will be panic. Those merchants who want to come to Xihai City for development will also be discouraged. ”
"But this time there are so many ill-intentioned people, obviously they want to make a big move, isn't the fisherman captain afraid of getting out of control?"
"It is necessary to spread a wide range of areas, and those merchants will feel the pain of the skin. There have been cases of sabotage before, but the victims are only a few or a few people, and the merchants who have not been affected are indifferent, and some will even suspect that the law enforcers have deliberately arranged it. As for whether it will get out of control, the fisherman is really not worried. ”
Fang Hao somewhat understood.
It's not the first time that the water tower has gone wrong, so the people of the five brigades basically don't use the water there. There is no need to verify at all, when he and Mr. Liu Quan drank water from the Fifth Brigade, they did not receive any warning information, and the eggs of the Leech King Gu could not be killed by boiling the water.
Just look at the strength of the five teams shown today, as long as they are fully loaded, they will have the ability to control the field. And it's very close to Xihai Town, so you can call for support at any time.
Those natives in Xihai City are not their own people, to put it bluntly, and once the situation changes, they may become hostile parties at any time. The merchants don't have a position in the first place, and it is not a simple matter to transform them.
It seems that the stronghold has not thought of turning those merchants into its own, as long as it can be used by me.
Therefore, if there is a major change in the market, as long as there is no accident with the people of the Fifth Brigade, any result is acceptable.
"Teacher, after the Leech King Gu's eggs are awakened, can they still be saved?"
"If you find it in time, it will not be a problem to save your life, but it will leave some hidden dangers."
Fang Hao nodded silently.
In this way, the five teams can at least save some of the merchants, but those ordinary people will definitely not be able to take care of them.
The two worlds have different codes of conduct, and there are some things that cannot be demanded. The attitude of the indigenous people towards life is still at the level of the Xuan Realm hundreds of years ago.
The Yuan is not a savior, the purpose of the establishment of the base is to protect his own people, and all problems can be solved before other things can be discussed.
It's like the merchants watching the hangings today, every death makes them feel emotional, and it is really difficult for Fang Hao to empathize with them.
Of course, he would not sympathize with the gangsters. It's like the Hu man swordsman who died in his hands, and the half-ton director who was maimed by him and committed suicide, as well as the two Yuan criminals who fell under his gun.
If these people don't send them to hell, will they keep them to collect their bodies?
So he never felt the slightest pity and guilt because of this, and ate and slept sweetly every day.
But it's another thing to treat killing people as a pleasure.
"There may be some ill-conceived aspects of the fisherman's approach, but in the overall view, the result is still in the interests of the whole."
For this student who has not yet graduated from junior high school, Mr. Liu Quan is still willing to talk more, so as not to be confused, "Our two strongholds in Xinghaiyuan have not expanded outward, but have only controlled the sphere of influence in a relatively reasonable area, which can ensure the supply of all kinds of basic materials, and at the same time try not to make the surrounding forces feel too threatened.
"But if anyone comes to disturb us, we must not be polite to them. Let's just set an example for those who want to beat our minds, so that those who want to beat our minds know where our red line is, and they don't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool easily. ”
