"Could it be that the stun-inducing circle disappeared while we were unconscious?" Xiao Tianhe suggested a possibility.

Regarding the matter of the formation, Ye Linglong still has the most right to speak. She analyzed: "Under normal circumstances, the reason for the disappearance of the circle is nothing more than the following three reasons: first, the person who arranged the circle has removed the circle, second, the circle is destroyed, and third, the attribute gems of the circle are depleted.

The woman never went and returned, so the first scenario could not have happened, and the second scenario was unlikely if you had not attacked the circle. As for the third case...... Quite rarely, besides, attribute gems are almost never exhausted at the same time, because when one gem is depleted, the circle has already been broken, and the consumption of other attribute gems will stop.

To put it simply, there is a chance that there will be remnants left in this case, and I shouldn't be unaware of it. Unless all the attribute gems of the Array Eye and Formation Foot happen to be consumed at the same time...... That's less likely than snow in June!"

Shi Haoming suddenly smiled smugly: "When things fall into contradictions, you should go back to the original point and consider in another direction." ”

"What's your opinion?" Xiao Tianhe asked.

"Since the explanation of the magic circle does not make sense, it means that there is no magic circle at all. ”

"Could it be poison?"

"Probably not. I'm afraid that the woman used a special method to make you faint, in order to keep you from getting close to what she was trying to hide. ”

"I think we should go there anyway." Anyway, whether it's the reason for the magic circle or not, it won't make people faint anymore, will it?"

"Brother Lei and Yan'er stayed to watch the car, and a few of us went for a trip. Shi Haoming made arrangements.

When a few people returned to the place where they fainted the night before, they couldn't help but be surprised. The grass was gone, and the trees around it were lying crookedly, leaving a large pit several feet deep on the ground.

Shi Haoming squatted down on the edge of the pit and took a closer look: "There is also dew on the soil at the bottom of the pit, which means that the pit was dug out before the condensation in the early morning." It seems that as soon as you left with your front foot, the woman returned here with her back foot and dug up her things. ”

"I didn't expect this thing to be so big. Seeing that the biggest mystery could not be solved, Xiao Tianhe's tone was a little regretful.

"Even here we can't poach it. That woman's strength should not be low, there is no need to provoke her out of curiosity. That's it, it's important to get down to business. Let's keep going. Shi Hao said.

......

After knowing the method of "making water and bathing", Xiao Tianhe and Ye Linglong became more at ease with their encounters. Ye Linglong had to greatly praise Meng Zhangjie every time she came out of the shower, listening to her, if she wasn't worried about making people suspicious, she didn't plan to come out.

The convoy made its way to the coast, and then it was time to go down to the sea. To go to sea, you need a boat, or a large ship that can carry eight large boxes. The residents of the seaside village were originally very enthusiastic when they saw that someone was going to sea, but as soon as they heard that the destination was Yuanming Island, they all dispersed at once, and Xiao Tianhe couldn't pull it.

"What can I do about this?" Xiao Tianhe stood at the empty street entrance, frowning.

Ye Linglong said: "That's not easy, aren't you a rich man, don't be an iron rooster!"

"That's right!" Xiao Tianhe patted his head, "You wait for me here, I'll come when I go." ”

Seeing his back running away, Ye Linglong smiled.

Who knew that this was a long time to wait, and when Ye Linglong couldn't help but go to Xiao Tianhe, he finally appeared at the end of the long street.

"Alas, dead or alive, they will not be sold. I struggled to speak, sweating in a hurry, before someone was willing to sell, the price was surprisingly high, not to mention the whole 20,000 beads, and I had to put four sets of carriages and horses in!" Xiao Tianhe complained, "When I was outside the Zongpiao realm, the merchant only sold me 3,000 beads for a map, and I was ridiculed by Sister Chu. If she knew this time, she might have laughed at me. ”

"In the seaside fishing village, boats are all necessary things to get by, so you can sell them. Ye Linglong comforted, "Where is the ship?"

"It is said that there are two red ropes tied to the head of the stack on the seaside. The seller will come and pick us up in a moment. He also told him not to mention that the boat was bought from him when he arrived at Yuanming Island. Haha, I don't even know who he is, I can't even mention it! The people here are really scared by the pirates on the island. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Linglong's expression became a little worried: "The more this is the case, the more worried I become." The pirates are all vicious, will we be able to get to the island by then?"

"I can only take one step at a time. Xiao Tianhe replied thoughtfully.

When the seller came, the three of them led the carriage to the seaside stack, where many boats were parked. The boat with two strands of red cable is easy to find—the most broken one.

Not to mention the small boat, there is no canopy yet. The sails were made of sheets of unknown color, with several patches sewn on them. What's even more infuriating is that there were holes in the boat, which were plugged with wooden pegs at this time, and there were about three or five places.

Xiao Tianhe grabbed the seller with the sharp-beaked monkey's cheeks and asked, "Are you embarrassed to charge me 20,000 beads for this broken boat?"

"Originally, it was a family and a ship, and it was impossible to sell you the main ship, only the extra ship you had. The extra ones must be the old ships that have been eliminated, and it is normal to break a little. The seller smiled and said, "Besides, the 'ship' can't be disguised, and the sea water can't be measured, right? Don't look at the old ship, it's easy to use." This boat is light and fast, too far to say that the sea is too far away, there is no problem to go to Yuanming Island. ”

"But we still have eight big boxes! can we transport them?" Ye Ling

Long asked.

"Hey, girl, you can put a hundred hearts. You are such a beautiful beauty, I am reluctant to let you sink into the sea halfway!" The seller flattered Ye Linglong and untied the cable neatly.

After unloading the truck and loading the ship, the seller led the four sets of carts and horses and left satisfied. Xiao Tianhe and Ye Linglong also set sail and set off in the southeast direction.

Because of the small size of the ship, the eight large boxes could only be stacked in two rows. Xiao Tianhe deliberately put the one containing Chu Fanghua in the lower row. The box occupied the entire cabin, and Xiao Tianhe and Ye Linglong could only sit on top of the box. The waterline has risen to the edge of the ship's side, giving the boat a feeling of "top-heavy", and it sways like it will capsize at any moment even when the wind and waves are not strong.

After a few days of fearful sailing, something terrible happened. The sea is no longer calm, but windy. Under the clouds, the sea has turned a dark blue, and a violent storm is brewing. The storm meant that the waves were stormy, but at this time, the ship had already sailed to the middle sea area, and there was no island in front of it and no land in sight, and there was no one to rely on. The fishy smell in the air became stronger and stronger, and it seemed to be mixed with a bitter and astringent taste, just like the mood of the two people on the boat.

As the cool breeze rose, the boat began to jolt up and down, swaying left and right. The raindrops the size of beans suddenly fell from the dense black clouds in the sky, and then it became more and more intense, and it was out of control. The strong sea breeze spurred up the turbulent waves, and the sea became muddy like ink, and the poor "broken sheets" struggled in the roar of the wind, Xiao Tianhe didn't even have time to remove the sail, and the mast was broken by a violent wave. Luckily, the boxes were tied to the hull with ropes so they didn't fall into the sea. The two stood on top of the crate, balancing as they swayed, and by the way, stabilizing the ship. It was the first time they had encountered such strong winds and waves on the vast sea, and it was only after deeply experiencing the horror of the wrath of the sea that the two of them knew the most essential difference between pirates and water pirates.

I don't know when this rainstorm will pass, and the two can only resign themselves to fate. Unfortunately, the old ship was in the last condition before it "died" - the wooden peg lost its effect, and the ship began to leak and sink!

"Ahh

Ye Linglong clenched his hand and persuaded: "Don't insist, hurry up and put the box and the boat into the magic weapon!"

"What about the two of us, don't you have to be exposed to the wind and rain?" Xiao Tianhe wiped the water on his face, "Why don't you go in and hide!"

"Then what's going on, you'll be swept away by the waves alone!" Ye Linglong refused.

"After leaving the ship, the two of them will be swept away as well!"

"Put the box away first, and it will be bad if it sinks!" Ye Linglong urged.

Xiao Tianhe was just about to do this, when a black dot suddenly dangled in the sky caught his attention. A huge wave happened to set off under the ship, which lifted the boat into the air. Xiao Tianhe fixed his eyes, and then shouted in Ye Linglong's ear: "Boat!"

The waves fell violently, and the old ship fell like a dead leaf, falling heavily on the sea, and shattered into several pieces with a "bang". The two of them grabbed the rope on the box, each held a plank, and paddled the water. But the box was too heavy for the small planks to withstand, and the two were dragged into the water, but they never let go.

After struggling underwater, a few hands suddenly reached out from above, pulling the two of them and the box back to the surface together. Not far away was a large ship, and with the help of the crew, they boarded it. The small ship that was broken just now was completely different from this mighty ship. Not only is the ship huge, but there are also two balanced logs on the side of the ship, which are connected to the hull by a wooden frame. In the midst of such storms and waves, the big ship is still quite stable.

Immediately after stepping onto the deck, the two were escorted to the aft cabin. On a recliner in the room, a strong man was leisurely smoking a pipe. He had hedgehog-like hair, a beard, eyes as large as brass bells, and a long scar on the right side of his face. Seeing the two of them coming in, he straightened up from the recliner, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked at the two "soup chickens" with a playful eye.

"Dare to sail to the far sea in a broken ship full of honeycomb eyes, you have the courage!" said the strong man, sneering.

"We've never been out to sea before, and we didn't expect to be swept up in the waves, so we were unlucky. Xiao Tianhe sighed.

"Say, what are you going to do when you go to Yuanming Island?" the strong man had already guessed the destination of the two.

"Sell goods. Xiao Tianhe replied according to the plan.

"What are you selling?"

"Can't say. ”

"Yo!" said the strong man, "why?"

Xiao Tianhe glanced at him: "The goods were sold to the heroes on Yuanming Island." ”

"Nonsense! We are the people of Yuanming Island!" the person holding Xiao Tianhe kicked him hard in the ass.

"Do you know anyone on the island?" asked the strong man.

Xiao Tianhe shook his head.

"Then you don't know the ship either?"

"I don't know. ”

"Do you see this pattern?" the strong man pointed to a pair of flags hanging on the wall, the bottom of the flag was crimson, and a black long-horned dragon was embroidered in the center. "This is the symbol of our Atami Dragon Gang!"

"Hmm......" Xiao Tianhe thought to himself, "If the Jairian brothers know that these pirates are so insulting to Jiao's name, I'm afraid they will be so angry, right?"

"Can you say that now?" said the strong man.

"Needless to say. When you go ashore, open it and take a look. Xiao Tianhe was calm.

"Smack", the strong man suddenly slapped the table,

"Do you want to go ashore without inspection?

The strong man's men escorted the two back to the deck, the ropes on the eight large boxes had been cut, and a group of people were groping around the boxes. Seeing that the strong man was coming, they immediately stepped aside and stood respectfully in two rows.

"Who set up the circle?" the strong man asked.

"It's a formation master, we can't solve it. Xiao Tianhe replied. In fact, the magic circle that Ye Linglong can unlock a box is the one containing Chu Fanghua. But now is not the time to open up.

"Can't solve it?" the strong man didn't seem to believe it, and circled around the eight boxes.

"The magic circle is not strong, you go and split it for me!" the strong man ordered Xiao Tianhe, "Otherwise, I will kill her!" A magic knife was already on Ye Linglong's neck.

Xiao Tianhe and Ye Linglong glanced at each other, walked to a box, and took out the Chang Geng knife. The golden light made the strong man's eyes light up.

Xiao Tianhe's transportation capacity, the knife fell, the magic circle was destroyed, and the lid of the box was also shaken open, and suddenly, the red light rushed to the sky, and it was filled with a large box of red mengshi.

Several crew members looked straight at each other.

The strong man just glanced at it and smiled contemptuously: "Aren't you going to sell something?

"This box is the honorarium for us to get to the island safely. Xiao Tianhe said, "You take us to Yuanming Island, and this box of money will be given to you." ”

"Oh, that's interesting. The strong man escorted Ye Linglong to another big box, and ordered Xiao Tianhe again, "Open!" He meant: "Let me see the goods, and let me take the money."

Ye Linglong's heart rose to her throat. The idea of replacing a box of stones with red mengshi was proposed by Xiao Tianhe, in order to successfully pass the inspection, but unfortunately this strong man was both cautious and greedy for money.

Xiao Tianhe looked very calm. He calmly raised his knife and opened the box. A box full of "stones" appeared in front of everyone.

The expressions on the faces of the crew were wonderful, the first box was a huge red fortune, and the second box was a pile of dirt and slag!

"Uh, are you kidding us?" Xiao Tianhe took another heavy kick on the buttocks.

Xiao Tianhe shook his head and sighed lightly: "I'm not afraid that the goods are bad, I'm afraid that I don't know the goods." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" the man who kicked him raised his hand and was about to hit him.

"Hey!" the strong man blocked the man's fallen hand. Several crew members looked at the strong man, only to see a solemn look on his face, and instructed the man: "You quickly return to the island and report to the leaders, and say that the big deal has arrived!"

"Just, just this stone?" the man pointed to the box in disbelief.

"You know a fart! If you want to go, you will go!" The strong man was angry, and kicked the man into the sea with one kick, which can be regarded as avenging Xiao Tianhe's "two-legged revenge",

The man didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately flew away.

The strong man ordered the rest of the crew: "Lock them up and give me a good look!"

Before being escorted into the dark room below the deck, Xiao Tianhe saw the strong man first cover the box containing the stones, and then dragged the box containing the red stone into the cabin. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the strong man did not ask for every box to be opened.

The dark room is not large, it is a place to stack some ropes, fishing nets, and wooden barrels. After locking the two inside, the crew put another lock on the top door. There are no fingers in the dark room. Ye Linglong leaned over to Xiao Tianhe and whispered, "I was really scared to death just now." ”

"Sure enough, the two of us are still lonely and unheard, those 'stones' are really rare things!" Xiao Tianhe sighed, "Do you remember, at that time, you called it 'broken stones', and Sister Chu even laughed heartily? ”

"yes, if you had figured it out, you wouldn't have had to break that box. Ye Linglong said regretfully.

Xiao Tianhe breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's a small matter to lose some money and wealth, and it's important to go to the island smoothly." Anyway, the beginning is not bad. ”

"But I think the big man's eyes were a little strange when he looked at your Chang Gung knife, I'm afraid he was worried about it. Ye Linglong reminded.

"It's fine. Xiao Tianhe didn't care, "Didn't you listen to him? This is a big deal! We are the big sellers, and he won't dare to touch me without seeing the leader." Wait until you see the leader, hehe. If he wants to grab the knife, he can take it by his ability!"

"Hopefully it will be successful. I look at these people on the ship today, all of them are masters. The big man is undoubtedly more skilled, but he is not the leader yet. This gang of pirates is far more advantageous than any group of bandits, water thieves, and robbers I have seen before. I only hate that my martial arts are not proficient, and when the time comes, I will only have to hide in Tibet. Ye Linglong sighed faintly.

Xiao Tianhe shook her hand and comforted: "What are you afraid of? Who hasn't slowly cultivated from the one-yuan level? Besides, you have a specialization in the art industry, your formation attainment is already very high, and in the future, if you are selected by a master, you will inevitably become more and more powerful." At that point, you'll be the most indispensable buff in our group!"

Hearing him say this, Ye Linglong's interest rose: "Do you mean, we will join forces to break into the world in the future?"

"Of course. Think about it, there is Sister Qingyu in alchemy, Brother Fei in casting, plus your outstanding formation, tsk, our team can be said to be full of talents! In wartime, with you and Sister Qingyu as our strong backing, what is the fear of the fierce demon!" Xiao Tianhe said very excitedly, Ye Linglong "fluttered" after hearing it, and tapped his forehead with his hand: "The big words are becoming more and more marginal." ”

"Ahem, you little two flirt and scold in a loud voice, disturbing Lao Tzu's sleep!" In the darkness, a creepy voice suddenly sounded.
