Chapter 490: The Legend of the Skeleton
The two of them lay sideways on the bed facing each other, Hongshang looked straight at Ouyang Feng with big eyes, breathing a faint smell of wine, Hongshang seemed to be drunk, reached out and hugged Ouyang Feng tightly, and buried her head in his chest, she really wanted to be like this for the rest of her life.
When Hongshang opened her eyes, Ouyang Feng was no longer there, her body was covered with a thin blanket, the corners of Hongsheng's mouth were slightly upturned, she stretched her waist very unladylike and sat up.
The door was pushed open, Ouyang Feng walked in with a basin of hot water, smiled at Hongsheng and said, "Wake up, wash your face, and then go out to eat." For Ouyang Feng's thoughtfulness and carefulness, Hongshang smiled, and his heart was warm and very satisfied.
After eating the breakfast provided by the inn, the group got together again, Ouyang Feng first told him about finding Jack yesterday, and then hesitated for a moment and said: "I thought about it last night, I think everyone should not take risks together, I will go to the island with Qingfeng, Mingyue, and Hongshang first, and if there is no danger, the rest of the people will go over." β
Alger frowned and said, "What if there is danger?" Ouyang Feng replied: "If there is danger, the four of us can escape a little, if there are too many people, it will be inconvenient in that kind of place." Also, the alliance just let us go to the island, and we don't know the situation on the island yet, and I don't know if I want you to go to the island, or the four of us should go to explore the way first. β
The monkey opened his mouth and said, "Then I will go with me, I am also a member of the Alliance, they can't stop me from going to the island, right?"
Elena nodded and said, "Well, I'll go with me too, our cultivation is about the same now, and we won't drag everyone down." β
Ouyang Feng hesitated, nodded and said, "Okay." Then let's go first. β
Adonis, Warrior Tigers. Pei Di and the others also asked to go together. But they were all rejected by Ouyang Feng, so everyone looked at Roderick again, because he had extensive knowledge and thought about things more thoroughly, and relatively speaking, Ouyang Feng was still more convinced of Lu Derrick's words, and everyone hoped that Roderick would help say something.
Roderick thought for a moment. Nodding slightly, he said: "I think what Ouyang Feng said makes sense, we don't know the specific situation on the island now, it's safer to let them go over to explore the way first, and in this way, you can also hide your strength as much as possible, you also said before, come here because some people do it deliberately, in that case, the other party must have a backhand, if Ouyang Feng and they encounter danger." We can also be used as reinforcements to catch the opponent off guard. β
Bruce worriedly, "They're on the island, we're in the fishing village." With such a long distance, if they are in danger, can we get there?"
Roderick smiled faintly and said: "I believe that the other party will not blatantly do anything on the island, otherwise they don't have to go to such great lengths to transfer Ouyang Feng and them from Ula City here, they can send a few masters to assassinate or something, I think the other party is still a little jealous, so he will do this, it is estimated that he is planning to borrow a knife to kill, so for the time being, Ouyang Feng and they should not be in danger." β
Peidi said suspiciously: "Borrowing a knife to kill?"
Roderick nodded and said: "We have also inquired before, Reef Island is an outpost island on the west coast of the Orion Alliance, and now inside the mainland, the Orion Alliance has wantonly annexed the territory of the Centaur Alliance, with the acquiescence and secret help of the Holy City, the Centaur Alliance has no chance of resisting, and will they admit defeat so lightly?" Of course not, so the Centaur Alliance will definitely fight back, and it won't take too long, and they have two options, either gather heavy troops to fight to the death with the Orion Alliance and the Holy City on the main road, or take a roundabout tactic to seize the control of the coastal area, in this way, not only can make up for the loss of territory, but also boost morale and open up the sea route, as long as the land side can hold the base area, they who occupy the sea route can wait for the opportunity to find the weakness of the Orion Alliance and take it off guard, so as to redeem the current disadvantage. β
Alger was surprised and said, "You mean, the Centaur Alliance will send troops to attack the Reef Island? Aren't we in danger? How can we fight against so many people with such a small number of people?"
It's not that Alger is timid and afraid, that's the case, Ouyang Feng and more than a dozen of them, although their cultivation is not low, but they have not reached the realm of Jindan, facing the enemy's army, if it is a dozen Jindan, it is possible to retreat with their whole body, but with their current cultivation, if they are surrounded by the other party, it is a fool's dream to escape again.
Adonis said worriedly, "Even then, you can't let the boss take the risk, right?"
Ouyang Feng waved his hand and said: "It's useless to say anything now, it's better to figure out the situation on the island first, besides, Li Mu, that bastard brought us over, it's not sure what to let us do, and it may not be necessary for us to stay on the island." β
Hongshang also nodded and said, "Well, I also think it's safer to do this." β
Anna said to Mingyue uneasily: "Take me with you too, I'm your fiancΓ©e, shouldn't you not let me go to the island?"
Mingyue shook her head very resolutely and refused: "You better stay with everyone, don't worry, it'll be fine." Although Anna was reluctant, Mingyue's words were still very powerful, and she could only stay angry.
Next, everyone discussed some more things, and then left the inn, Ouyang Feng and the six of them went to the dock, and Roderick took the rest of the people to look for a house, they didn't know how long they wanted to stay here, if they stayed in the inn for a long time, it would attract suspicion, they were not short of money, and they decided to buy a larger house as a foothold, as for Ouyang Feng came to the island and came back to them, everyone also discussed, and they would send people to the tavern last night every day to wait, and by the way, see if they could collect a little useful information.
Coming to the dock and finding Jack, Ouyang Feng looked at the fishing boats that were ready to set off and the few broken boats tied to the back, and said to Jack with a smile: "Yesterday we were talking about more than a dozen people, there was something wrong with us, and now there are only six of us, you see, can the price be cheaper?"
Ouyang Feng is not short of money, but he is very cautious and doesn't want others to take advantage of him. Waiting for Ouyang Feng and the six people to get on the boat, Jack glanced at Ouyang Feng and said, "I don't care how many of you have, I charge for each trip, even if it's just you." β
Just kidding, Jack has already spent all the deposit Ouyang Feng gave yesterday, and the rest of the money he didn't give already has a plan, so he won't charge a copper coin less because there are fewer people, and he is also afraid that Ouyang Feng will regret it, and would rather not have a deposit to find other ships, and even more indiscriminately order his only helper to pick up the anchor and set off.
Ouyang Feng was still on a boat for the first time, and he was a little uncomfortable with the mast, and said to Jack with reason: "You said that you charge by the trip, is that the price will be the same next time I bring a hundred and eighty people?" The corners of Jack's mouth twitched, and he felt that he would never do business with people like Ouyang Feng next time, and it would be too hard to make them some money.
Jack pouted and said, "Okay, as long as I can fit it, I'll still charge for this price." β
Ouyang Feng looked around, and said angrily: "Can you fit a hundred people in this small boat?"
Jack continued to pout, "All standing on the deck, just stacking them up if they can't do it." β
Jack replied in a non-toned manner, so angry that Ouyang Feng gritted his teeth for a while, thinking that even if he had the opportunity to spend money to hire people, he would have to gather a hundred people for this profiteer to pull out to sea, and then he would have to sink the ship.
Seeing Ouyang Feng's ill intentions, Jack didn't want to offend Ouyang Feng, who was not an open-minded person at first glance, out of the port, the fishing boat rode the wind and waves, Jack walked to Ouyang Feng, who had a somewhat ugly face, and said with a wink: "Actually, you don't lose money at all." β
Ouyang Feng hugged the mast tightly, looked at Jack with slanted eyes and said, "What do you mean?" β
Jack said with some smugness: "I know a shortcut, and I can get to Reef Island in half a day." β
Ouyang Feng said disdainfully: "You know, others don't know?"
Jack said proudly, "Of course, that channel was discovered by my father, and it is similar to Reef Island, with reefs all over the water, and no one can get by without accurate charts. β
Ouyang Feng questioned, "Really?"
Jack nodded affirmatively and said: "Of course, to be someone else's boat, you have to spend more than a day on my boat, and if you follow the line, you can get there in half a day, and you won't lose money." β
Ouyang Feng nodded and said, "If it's really like what you said, it's really worth the money, by the way, do you know anything about the island?"
Jack shook his head and said, "I don't know, that place is deep and scary, although I have secretly approached, I didn't dare to go up." β
Ouyang Feng asked puzzledly: "What do you mean? What is the deep yin?"
Pol, who tied the cable on the side, said with palpitations: "Don't mention it, that time the captain and I secretly went over to see what good things were on the island, but as soon as we got closer, we saw that the island was foggy, and we didn't care about it at the time, thinking it was just a general fog, but we thought wrong, and before we stopped the boat, we felt that there seemed to be something in the fog, and then, two skeleton shelves came over, skeleton shelves, big night, almost didn't scare me to death." β
Jack continued, "I inquired when I came back, and I heard that there seemed to be a necromancer on the island, and that the kind of magician who could control the bones, it was fucking scary, and I haven't been there since. β
Elena is different from other girls, other girls will hide far away when they hear about skeletons or something, but she walks over with a very interested look and asks curiously, "What kind of skeleton frame are you talking about, is it really scary?" (to be continued......
