Chapter 288: Landing on Chongling Island and Encountering a Pirate Lair
When they came to the nearest island, several people landed on the shore one by one without waiting for the spirit boat to stop completely. More than a dozen sea bumps made several people who had never been to sea very uncomfortable. Though they did not say it with their mouths, they could see it to all. Tang Xiaotian's performance is the most obvious, although these children have been fighting and making trouble constantly, it is obvious that there are still a lot less words. Chen Moheng was not much stronger than him, and his handsome face had always been in an unnatural white. The most obvious stone does not turn, but from time to time it is a little dizzy.
"It's finally landed, and this down-to-earth feeling is back!"
Yang Tian roared loudly, and Tang Xiaotian took this opportunity to express the depression in his heart.
Shi Buzhuan shook his head and exhaled lightly. Obviously, he also likes this down-to-earth feeling.
"These guys, really!"
Shaking his head and smiling, Wang Xiaoan turned to the spirit boat on the shore and played a trick. I saw that the spirit boat shrank sharply, and it shrank to the size of a fist in a few breaths. A small and delicate boat slowly floated towards Wang Xiaoan. Flipping his hand to catch the spirit boat, Wang Xiaoan walked towards Tang Xiaotian.
"Hey, I said, don't you want the Lingzhou?"
Raising his hand to shake the spirit boat in the air, Wang Xiaoan looked at Tang Xiaotian with a smile.
Glancing at Wang Xiaoan, Tang Xiaotian put on the appearance of a brother.
"Hey, what's hey, it's not big, it's not small, why don't you call it Fifth Brother!"
Shrugging his shoulders, Wang Xiaoan shook his head helplessly. He felt that Tang Xiaotian was extremely naΓ―ve now, which made him feel that he couldn't bear to look at it directly.
"I'm afraid of you, are you successful?Fifth brother, don't you want your magic weapon Lingzhou?"
With that, Wang Xiaoan gathered the spirit boat in front of Tang Xiaotian.
With a light smile, Tang Xiaotian directly pushed the spirit boat back in front of Wang Xiaoan.
"Keep it for yourself, I can't use this thing well, it's just an ornament to me. It's better to stay with you and be a means of transportation. β
Wang Xiao'an was a little stunned, but then smiled and put away the magic weapon spirit boat. Tang Xiaotian said that he couldn't use it well, but the people at the scene didn't understand that this was an excuse. Tang Xiaotian just used this gimmick to give the magic weapon Lingzhou to Wang Xiaoan.
After a small episode, everyone began to look at their surroundings. I saw a white sand beach spreading out from the sea for more than a mile, and at the end of the beach there were a few bowl-thick trees growing here and there. In the distance, you can only see a dense forest, and the view on the other side of the forest is completely obscured by the woods.
"Xiao An, do you know the specific situation here?"
Ximen Feng asked lightly, but seeing that the other party was also frowning, he already had an answer in his heart. He turned his gaze and looked at Gongsun Jing again. I saw that the other party smiled, and reached out to take out the armillary jade.
The armillary jade is not a detailed map, it is made by the Yuefan Monk with great effort. Not only does it contain a detailed map that only the monks of Yuefan have, but it can also detect the setting of the moon by sensing the concentration of local aura
and other geographic information such as the time and minute, which roughly shows the current location.
"This is a place called Chongling Island, and as for other information, there is no record in the Heavenly Jade. β
told everyone the information he got from the Heavenly Jade, and Gongsun Jing asked Wang Xiao'an again.
"Maybe it's not that big, but I'm not impressed. To be honest, I am only familiar with the island group where Tianlongmen is located, and I am not familiar with the place where we are now. β
Wang Xiaoan did not hide it from everyone, and directly told the truth.
Everyone nodded knowingly, and didn't say anything. This kind of situation is normal, the entire Southern Dipper Star Continent is divided into six parts, and it is not easy to roughly know the situation of one part. Not to mention Wang Xiao'an, even they themselves can't know all about the affairs of their continent.
Wang Xiaoan carefully looked at the surrounding environment again, and then added.
"There are countless islands in the Southern Dipper Star Continent, and the number of desert islands is even more incomprehensible. But looking at this island, it should be inhabited. If I'm not mistaken, there was a gathering of people behind the trees ahead. After more than ten days, everyone is estimated to be tired. Let's go over and take a look first, take a break and plan our next moves. β
Wang Xiaoan's suggestion instantly won the consent of several people, and now the people who want to rest the most are undoubtedly a few people who are not very suitable for life on the ship.
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and lead the way!"
Gently pushing Wang Xiaoan, Tang Xiaotian smiled and took the lead in walking forward. Chen Moheng and Shi Buzhuan did not speak, but they kept up with Tang Xiaotian's footsteps for the first time. The rest of the people looked at each other and followed with a chuckle.
It took only half an hour or so for ten people to walk through the woods. What greeted them was a small village with only a few dozen households. In the distance of this small village, the shadow of the woods reappeared. Apparently, this small village was deliberately built by cutting down a forest.
"Could it be that this is the only small village here?"
Seeing the prospect, Tang Xiaotian didn't have such an idea.
He is not the only one who thinks like this, the rest of the people also think the same way in their hearts, but everyone didn't ask this question in the first place. Some people have doubts in their hearts, and some people take direct action. At the first time when he had doubts in his heart, Xu Chenglin had already begun to look for answers. His divine consciousness was silently released, and he was already constantly exploring the surroundings. Within the scope of his divine sense, he really did not see the rest of the villages or other human settlements existing.
"I guess there are only a few dozen families on this island, at least there are no human settlements within the range of my consciousness. β
Xu Chenglin told everyone the news of the investigation, but what he got was everyone's surprise.
"Fake, there are only a few dozen families on a large island, why don't they move to live on an island with a lot of people?"
Tang Xiaotian felt strange about this situation, so he asked without hesitation.
Wang Xiaoan thought for a while, smiled and began to explain to everyone.
"It's nothing, no one is short
There are many islands, and there are many islands with only a few dozen households like this. There are many reasons for this, but there are three of the most common. The first is that fishermen often fish in the surrounding waters, and the nearest islands are the best place for boats to dock, and over time they have made their home here. In the second case, there are bandit colonies, these guys make a living by robbing houses at sea, so they don't find out about their nests, so they set up their nests on some islands where birds don't. As for the third case, it has something to do with us practitioners. There are some islands with excellent spiritual veins, and some cultivators take the initiative to occupy these islands to cultivate here, and generally there are not too many residents on the islands, except for the monks who are just some ordinary people who serve them. β
After listening to Wang Xiaoan's explanation, everyone also understood why this situation occurred. Knowing the reason, everyone was curious to tell which kind of small village in front of them belonged to.
"Oh! It's kind of funny, I think we have met a pirate nest!"
After taking a closer look, Tang Xiaotian vaguely felt that their group had encountered the second situation.
Hearing Tang Xiaotian's words, Ximen Feng couldn't help but feel interested.
"Oh, how do you tell us?"
Putting on an unfathomable watch, Tang Xiaotian shook his head and began to explain.
"If fishermen live here, the village ahead must be a simple fishing village. Poultry and livestock should be raised in the fishing village, and this is the time when the smoke of the Luoxi Mountain is curling, but there is no such thing here, so the first situation can be ruled out. In the same way, when the West Mountain fell, there were people in the village but there were no lights, and it was clear that they didn't want people to find out. Combined with Xiao An's words, the water bandits are afraid of being discovered, so I judge that this is the second situation. As for why it's not the cultivators who occupy the island, I don't think I need to say. There are no spiritual veins on this Chongling Island, and it is estimated that no cultivator will be idle to occupy this place. β
Tang Xiaotian narrated his judgment and instantly won everyone's consent.
Just as the group was talking, several swishing sounds broke through the air. When Wang Xiaoan heard the voice, he stepped forward to stop it. Who knew that Tang Xiaotian smiled lightly, but he was one step ahead of him. Stretching out his hand to grab it in the air, Tang Xiaotian directly caught several arrows. This is not the end, and there are several more sounds of breaking the air. There were more than a few spears, and they came directly to these people.
"What a sharp vigilance, we didn't make any noise along the way, how did they find us?"
took the time to turn around and ask Wang Xiaoan, and the magic machine in Tang Xiaotian's hand appeared. The ink flashed, and the magic changed from an ink flute to a spear. A few steps forward, Tang Xiaotian would use the spear in his hand to directly knock a few spears into the air.
"Who knows! Although none of these pirates are good, I have to say that these people also have certain means of vigilance. β
Wang Xiaoan shrugged his shoulders, looking unconcerned.
"There are no cultivators in the village, should we go and have a look?"
Shi Buzhuan released his divine sense to check the situation in the village, and after finding that there were no cultivators, he was a little hesitant to move on.
"Why not? If it's a fishing village, we won't bother. If it's other practitioners, it's not convenient for us to disturb us at this time. But this is a colony of bandits, and we have no problem walking on it now. Regardless of it, it was a direct sneak attack, and it launched a stronger attack after no result. People have already made a move, can't we retreat?"
It was Chen Luoxue who answered him, which surprised him a little. In Shi Buzhuan's opinion, Chen Luoxue shouldn't have said this.
As if seeing Shi Buzhuan's surprise, Chen Luoxue smiled and continued to speak.
"In your opinion, we cultivators and ordinary people are somewhat suspected of bullying people. But have you ever wondered what the premise of our indifference is. If the other party does not intersect with us, and it will not make us feel that we can't see it, then of course we will not care about them. But these guys directly attacked us, and if we weren't all cultivators this time, we might have died here if we were someone else. Such people have violated the two conditions I said, and we don't mind bullying these ordinary people. β
Shi Bu froze for a moment, but then understood. He nodded, and walked to Tang Xiaotian's side in a few steps.
Bai Yunxin and Chen Luoxue stood side by side, smiled and said softly.
"Shi Buzhuan's junior brother is just simple, you just said a few words and made him change his mind. β
Shaking her head slightly, Chen Luoxue denied this statement.
"No, this guy is actually very assertive. If he thinks my statement is wrong, he will never step forward silently. β
Bai Yunxin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled embarrassedly.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just talking about it. If there is something offended, I hope you don't mind. β
Smiling slightly, Chen Luoxue really didn't mind this.
"It's okay, it's just that we have a little time together. Over time, you will find that everyone gets along very well. We are able to come together, not only in friendship but also in mutual trust. β
Bai Yunxin looked at a few people seriously and nodded thoughtfully.
