Chapter 203: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
Early the next morning, Xiao Che and the others drove the trading ship out of the port, this time they really left here, only them when they left, Xiao Che and they returned to the island where Captain Nack and the Liuyun were located, made peace with them, and then continued to set sail.
"How is everything settled?" After Xiao Che and the others came back, Su Mu and Su Ya asked.
"Everything was worked out. Xiao Che didn't say anything more.
Here they bought another merchant ship, and one fishing boat plus two merchant ships looked like a caravan. They did not recruit any more sailors. Now that these crew members are all members of the Xuan Mansion, Xiao Che and them are very relieved.
However, Xiao Che still hired two captains to take command of the other two trading ships.
Now the Flowing Cloud fleet has three ships. Xiao Che planned to buy goods along the way and fill the three ships. In this way, it will not arouse the suspicion of others.
Over the next month, they passed through three islands in quick succession. A large number of goods were purchased. Fortunately, the journey was relatively smooth and nothing special happened.
Life in the sea is boring and boring. It's okay for Xiao Che and those of them who concentrate on martial arts. It was quite unbearable for those crews. Okay, Xiao Che found them an activity to decompress.
Or a sport he learned on the planet North, basketball, the boat was big enough to set up a basketball court and tell them the rules. The crew was intrigued by this fresh sport. And, the more time passes, the more they enjoy the sport.
What no one could have imagined was that this sport would later become popular with all human beings.
They act as martial arts practitioners. It has a great advantage over ordinary humans on the planet North. Even if they don't use spiritual power, their physical fitness is much stronger than those ordinary people.
Basketball adds a lot of fun to sailing.
The crew has everything they do, and some even like to fish with a fishing rod. Speaking of Xiao Che's cooking skills, it is a must. It is precisely because he has been an orphan since he was a child, such things as cooking, Xiao Che is very young, and after becoming an alchemist, he has become more proficient in the control of heat and the matching of ingredients.
At this time, Xiao Che was making the unique secret recipe of grilled fish he had prepared. Before it was baked, everyone was already hungry when they smelled the fragrance. No one thought that Xiao Che would have such skills.
"Xiao Che, one day you don't want to mix outside, go and open a restaurant, and your average craftsmanship can make a lot of money. Wen Renjing praised.
"It was so delicious. Su Ya and Niuniu were equally full of praise.
As soon as they were roasted, they ate it in a big gulp, and they didn't care about any image at all.
Xiao Che: It's been a long time since they've encountered pirates. What they didn't know was that on the island they said they were going to, a large number of pirates were gathering on Treasure Island.
A few days ago, I don't know where the news came out of nowhere, that there was a treasure on Treasure Island. A large number of pirates gathered here.
Sure enough, they found something. Among them are spiritual artifacts and prescriptions, and some people have also obtained some precious things from them.
When they arrived at Treasure Island, Xiao Che and they found that this place had become a place where trolls gathered, but now it was too late to detour.
The pirates saw a fishing boat and two merchant ships arrive here, although more pirates watched from the sidelines. But there are already those idle and bored pirates who have come to stop them. Although the most important thing for them now is to search for treasure.
But treasures are so easy to find, and in any way they can't change the nature of pirates. They made a career out of raiding merchant ships.
Seeing Xiao Che and them was like a cat seeing meat, it was already good if they didn't rush to the top.
"Hahaha! There are fools who can't open their eyes to break in. Leave the women and cargo on board to the grandfathers. Today, grandpas are happy and leave you a little life. You can only take one ship with you, and when you're done, get out of here. One of the pirates said to Xiao Che.
Xiao Che saw such a scene in front of him, and he didn't spare the slightest hint of it, even if he flew onto the pirate ship and went on a killing spree. It was followed by Zi Wuji, Wen Renjing, Su Mu, and Niu Niu.
Zhou Xiaodie and Dongya didn't make a move.
Xiao Che and the four of them shot extremely quickly, and without sparing the slightest hand, before the pirates could react, most of the people on the ship had been killed. This scene stunned all the pirates. They never thought that these people would be so ruthless. And the strength is so strong.
Soon Xiao Che and the others washed the shipload of pirates in blood. It's not because Xiao Che is vicious, but because he has to use such cruel means to make an example of the monkeys now, once they show too weakness, the next troubles will continue one after another. In order to avoid those unnecessary troubles, this time they went all out.
At this time, the surrounding pirates were silent. Their eyes as they looked at Xiao Che were full of respect and fear. Kindness doesn't mean much to pirates. Only by being stronger than them, only by being more ruthless than them, can you win their respect.
After killing all the pirates on the entire ship, Xiao Che and the others also burned the ship. With such a ship full of sins, Xiao Che will not stay. The onlookers hurried away from the area. You know, when such a large ship sinks, there will be a whirlpool. If one is not careful, it is likely that they will be involved in it. These people are well aware of the horror of whirlpools in the ocean.
Xiao Che and the others bypassed here and slowly sailed towards the harbor on Treasure Island.
For the rest of the journey, they were not stopped by anyone. These pirates gathered here. The impact on the local population is very large. At first, they didn't want these pirates to come here. After all, they are the real owners here.
However, as there were more and more pirates, the supreme realm powerhouses among the pirates also appeared one after another. It's not about pirates and Treasure Island anymore. And, the confrontation between Treasure Island and the family behind the pirates.
Treasure Island was so weak that it was impossible to offend all those families, and in the end, the two sides signed an agreement that Treasure Island allowed outsiders to explore the treasures, but the number of places was limited, and each faction of pirates could only send a maximum of five people. And on Treasure Island, a hundred men were dispatched. A total of a thousand people were able to enter the treasure area to explore.
Although there are many pirate forces, they are far from reaching this number now, and Xiao Che and they happen to be the last ones. Now the total lockdown of Treasure Island begins. The reason why the forces behind the pirates agreed to such conditions was also a last resort. After all, this is the home of Treasure Island. Once they went too far. The people of Treasure Island are secretly attacking the pirates. They are also powerless.
There are countless ways to do this without realizing it. It's unrealistic to want to destroy Treasure Island. So, only such an agreement can be reached. These pirates in order not to involve outsiders. Intercept it right here. Now there are only five people left. Xiao Che: They just happened to supplement it. Moreover, they have an agreement that the supreme realm powerhouses will never be able to enter. Most of the people who can enter are martial artists from the Venerable Realm and the Venerable Master Realm.
After boarding Treasure Island, Xiao Che only knew such a thing. After learning of this agreement, Xiao Che and they finally decided to go after some negotiations, and Xiao Che, Zi Wuji and Su Mu went there. Others were waiting on the boat. Seeing that Xiao Che and the others were only three people, both the elders on Treasure Island and the pirates were very happy, so that the remaining two places were divided equally among them.
In this way, there are three types of forces to explore the treasure, the first is the native force of Treasure Island, with a hundred people. Although the number is small, it is the most united. The second is the power of the pirates, who occupy seven hundred, and the last one is the outsiders, who occupy two hundred places, but they are the most loosely organized.
Although there are only five pirates in a single group, they can't stand a large group. At present, Treasure Island is the equivalent of a tiger, the pirate group is a pack of wolves, and the outsiders are about the same as wild dogs.
In this way, everyone began to explore the treasure.
Xiao Che: They didn't go to the front. Although the strength of the three of them is very strong. Xiao Che is in the late stage of the Venerable Master Realm, Zi Wuji is also in this realm, and Su Mu is in the early stage of the Venerable Master Realm. Among the three, Su Mu's strength is the weakest, but among these thousand people, he can also rank in the middle and upper ranks. After all, among these martial artists, the number of Venerable Realm is the largest, accounting for eighty percent. The total number of people in the Respect for Teachers realm is only about 200.
It is not easy to make up so many Venerable Master Realm martial artists. Most of these Venerable Realm warriors are from Treasure Island and pirates. Among the outsiders, there are very few martial artists in the Honorable Master Realm. Even though there are many Venerable Master Realm martial artists, not all of them dare to fight hard for the treasure. Especially those merchants, even if their cultivation has reached the realm of respecting teachers, they still won't do such a risky thing.
Just look at the lineup to know how brutal the battle will be.
It is also stipulated in the agreement that no fighting is allowed outside, but once you enter the area where the treasure is located, it is dead or wounded, no matter which force it is, you can't retaliate afterwards.
Soon, Xiao Che and the others followed everyone to a hidden cave.
"This is actually to the bottom of the sea!" Su Mu said in surprise.
"Really, it seems that this treasure is really not simple. Xiao Che responded.
At this point they can feel very clearly that they are going downward. It's a dark cave. There is even a lot of rotten breath in it. Fortunately, the martial artists who came in were not weak in cultivation. They are able to find their way with their own perceptions. For them, there is no difference between here and outside.
They walked along the cave for a long time. Of course, also because they are not fast. Because no one knows if there are any traps here, no one dares to be careless. You must know that because of such a thing, there are many examples of accidentally losing your life. No one is a fool.
It took about an hour for the group to reach the bottom of the sea. The air pressure here is very different from the outside. The perception of the warriors is very keen.
"What's going on? there's no road ahead?" When they all reached the bottom of the sea, they found that it was a dead end.
"No, it can't be. "People can't believe that they can get nothing after so much effort.
Someone was so angry that he punched the stone wall in front of him. But something magical happened. Just when this person's fist hit the stone wall in front of him, the fist disappeared strangely, and the frightened man hurriedly withdrew his hand, but found that it was intact, which made him feel a lot more relieved.
Now everyone knows why. In front of it turned out to be something like a space door.
This kind of thing is not so arbitrary. Setting up a space door comes at a great cost. And so everybody got excited. The treasure is at hand.
Then came the madness. People crowded each other and desperately burrowed into the walls of space. It's still Xiao Che who has eyesight. The moment he discovered the space wall, Xiao Che pulled Zi Wuji and Su Mu to the back of the line. That's why I wasn't squeezed in front.
Now, standing at the end of the line turned out to be the easiest.
Xiao Che has always been cautious about this kind of place. The same goes for Zi Wuji and Su Mu.
It was only after everyone had entered that Xiao Che and the others followed into the space door unhurriedly.
After passing through the spatial door before, there was a bright world in front of me.
The moment he came in, he couldn't open his eyes. I fixed the car, and then I saw it. Ahead is a very large space, like a new continent.
If the next time you see it right, it should be a hill. This space looks very vast, and there are even blue skies and white clouds and the sun and stars hanging in the sky. However, Xiao Che can feel it, these are all fake. With the experience of Planet North, he knew that a real space has different properties of matter.
Here Xiao Che only felt one attribute, and that was the spatial attribute. Other than that, Xiao Che didn't feel any other attributes. In other words, this space is artificially created.
But what made Xiao Che feel strange was that he didn't feel the breath of divine matter here. In other words, it was a Supreme Realm powerhouse who created this space. However, as far as Xiao Che knew, even the powerhouses of the Nine Grades of the Supreme Realm might not be able to create such a space. But he soon thought of another possibility.
That is the powerhouse of the Nine Grades of the Supreme Realm with innate spatial attributes. Only this answer can reasonably explain this space.
"Wuji, Uncle Su, let's pay more attention to some items with spatial attributes, and take other things if you can, and forget if you can't. Xiao Che said to the two of them in a voice.
At this time, someone had already picked up some spiritual weapons. There were even people who found some pills. It seems that there is really a treasure here. Seeing something to gain makes these people even more crazy. They were like scavengers, digging three feet into the ground wherever they passed. This is not the slightest exaggeration, and it cannot be overstated.
Xiao Che and the others were also stunned when they saw this. But they didn't pay attention to the crowd, but made a quick journey. For them, the things that are coming out now are not particularly important at all.
They don't have much interest in those, either.
Xiao Che knew that those better things must be in the deepest depths. There's no need for them to lose watermelon for sesame seeds.
There was more than one person who had the same idea as Xiao Che, and almost all of them were heading towards the rear.
They are the most powerful contenders in this treasure hunt. Soon they saw a palace in the distance, which allowed them to travel faster. About a cup of tea. And they came to the gate of the palace. I saw three ancient characters engraved on the palace.
These three words are not recognized by others, but Xiao Che knows them. This is thanks to Ange. When getting along with An Ge, Xiao Che learned a lot of strange things, including this kind of text. According to Ango, this script has been around for a very long time. It existed before the War of the Nations.
According to An Ge, this kind of writing is likely related to the legendary divine realm. After his research, he came to believe that it was a simplified version of the script that was common to the divine realm. No one could understand it except Xiao Che. But they all saw a surging momentum in these three words. Make them even more sure that this must be the treasure.
"Xiao Che, do you know?" said Zi Wuji.
"Heavenly King Palace. Xiao Che transmitted the voice to the two.
"Ahh
"I learned this kind of writing with Mr. Ango. Xiao Che explained. However, he didn't tell them that this might be a simplified version of the text used in the divine realm. Just tell them that the origin of this writing is very ancient, ancient and they can hardly imagine.
"It seems that there are still benefits to learning knowledge. Zi Wuji joked.
"That's for sure. Xiao Che said seriously.
When they said these two words, they didn't use the sound, everyone could hear them, but no one cared what they said. Now there are only two words in everyone's mind, treasure. Other than that, they are not interested in anything.
can take such a domineering name, the identity of the owner of this palace can be imagined. However, after thinking about it, Xiao Che did not find a martial artist who could correspond to it in history. Of course, it could also be that he didn't know. However, the martial artists who have cultivated to the peak of the Nine Grades of the Supreme Realm, at least among the martial artists of the human race, every one of them is a prestigious existence. They are all on the record.
There are not many people in each generation who can attain this kind of cultivation. Even the number of coexisting eras is in the single digits. However, if you look at the long history, there are quite a few people, but it is not too difficult to remember them all.
"Could it be that the owner of this palace is not human? How can this be explained?" Xiao Che thought to himself.
If he doesn't understand, he will put it aside. When you get into it later, everything will be clear.
I don't know how to open this door. The crowd didn't let him move even a single bit, despite all their efforts.
Suddenly, someone found a line of words underground. It says that those who want to enter this door will be bathed in blood.
The atmosphere at this time was quite eerie, and everyone was wary of each other. Of course they know what that means. Now there is no one who is not careful. No one wants to be a stepping stone for others.
