Chapter 106: The Secret of Black Rock
At this moment, many people have gathered on the deck, and it is much quieter here, not that they don't want to run, they don't want to scream, but they don't dare!
Men in yellow uniforms stared at the people on the deck.
Their task is to protect, to protect the ship from destruction, and to protect the order here, so that no one dares to resist!
At this moment, a pillar of blue light broke through the sky, and the light emitted instantly engulfed everything, and the dazzling light made people unable to open their eyes.
What's going on again!?
"Look!
As the light faded, one of the pirates pointed excitedly to the sky.
"It's a star-blue light!"
"Yes!
"Haha, we're saved, we can finally get out of this damn place!"
In the sky, there was a pillar of blue light with a diameter of two zhang, and I saw the pillar of light break through the fog layer and shoot into the deep darkness.
As the blue light pillar emitted, the fog around the blue light instantly dissipated, forming a clearly visible area, but there was too much fog around it, and there was an instant to make up for it. But the blue pillar of light never went out, still consuming the surrounding mist, and the two were stalemate with each other......
Gradually, a delicate equilibrium was formed, the blue pillars of light dimmed a lot, and the surrounding fog thinned out.
The pillar of light formed by the star blue light has stabilized, and Li Qiang in the cab breathed a sigh of relief, the pillar of light connecting the two places did not appear out of thin air, but the star blue stone of the two places emitted a huge amount of energy to fuse, once this power is consumed, the pillar of light will disappear, then they will also lose their direction here, fortunately, there seems to be a lot of power, and the fog in the air is not enough to extinguish it.
Li Qiang, who had just relaxed, instantly became serious again, "Sanming, go east, go to the ship to maintain order!"
Sanming and Lin Dongxing, who were immersed in joy, immediately woke up to the fact that Fang Cai's movements would definitely cause chaos, and they didn't expect that Brother Qiang would be able to think calmly at this time. In the face of danger, calm and calm is such an existence, and they can't help but admire.
"Let's go!" Sanming and Lin Dongxing responded.
"Also, call everyone to the deck. Li Qiang added.
Could it be that there is something important? Sanming was puzzled by the eastward journey, but it was inconvenient for them to ask, so they complied.
At this time, hundreds of people had gathered on the deck, and almost all of them came, they talked to each other, expressing their joy after escaping, and Wu Fan and Zhang Ping were also standing in the crowd.
Because of the star-blue lights, the deck was not as foggy as before, and people's vision was almost unaffected at this time, and the feeling of depression was swept away.
Sanming and Lin Dongxing gathered everyone on the deck, and after reporting to Li Qiang, they followed Li Qiang to the deck.
"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet!" Sanming's sharp voice reached the ears of most of the people, and in cooperation with the actions of the escort team, suddenly, the scene quieted down, and everyone looked at Sanming.
This is Li Qiang taking a step forward and standing up, and in an instant, everyone's eyes moved to him.
"Brother Qiang! Brother Qiang!"
The people present exploded in an instant, shouting frantically one after another, as if they saw a strong man who admired in their hearts, because this can turn danger into a disaster, and Li Qiang's contribution is indispensable! They are happy and convinced.
Li Qiang waved his hand to signal quiet, so the shouting gradually stopped, and then he said: "I won't introduce myself much, most of you are from the northern district of the seventh island, and you should know me on the island." There are also people from the East and West Districts, and you may not have known who I was before, but now you know something. As the escort of this mission, my purpose is to protect your safety and get you to your destination safely. ”
Everyone present understood that the escort team was such a presence, protecting the safety of the ship and escorting a hundred people to Black Rock Island safely.
Li Qiang continued: "Fortunately, in the midst of three days of suffering, we finally drove into the right way, with the star blue light as a guide, it was only a matter of time before we reached Black Rock Island. ”
Hearing Li Qiang's confirmation, everyone was boiling, and those who were still skeptical were finally relieved, at least they would not die in this vast sea.
Li Qiang glanced at the crowd and said, "However, it will take a few days to arrive at Heiyan Island, and accidents will often accompany you in these days, and it is impossible for the escort team to protect you at all times, so I want you to cheer up your spirit and pay attention to everything! This is not for me, but for yourself!"
The people below were amazed, protect themselves, pay attention to everything, what do you mean by this, is there still an unknown danger?
"If I'm not mistaken, there's no chance I'm going to have a fight next!" Li Qiang said.
Suddenly, there was a small commotion in the scene, everyone whispered, and even Sanming and Lin Dongxing looked at each other in surprise, as if they really couldn't imagine any danger.
"Are you surprised? Do you think it's safe when the star blue light is turned on? That's just the route guarantee to the destination, not the flight guarantee! Crisis is coming at any time!"
Li Qiang looked at everyone calmly, waited for everyone to be quiet, and continued.
"When the star-blue light is turned on, the next danger comes with it, the blue pillar of light will attract the attention of something, some may leave, and some may be attracted to it. No matter what, you can't be careless, your fate is in your hands, I hope you are ready to fight for life!"
Danger came one after another, there was no moment of tranquility on the sea, and the crisis that had just passed everyone was a little broken in their hearts, never thinking that before they arrived at Black Rock Island, death was quietly approaching, and the so-called stone hunting began from the moment they went out to sea.
There are also people who are eager to try, they are thrill-seekers, and danger is an indispensable spice in life. There are also some people who have no waves and don't know what to think, such as Wu Fan.
Li Qiang ignored everyone's expressions, turned to Lin Dongxing and said, "You go and arrange for the guards and patrols on the ship to strengthen their vigilance, open all the cannon ports, and send additional personnel to guard the cabin, and always be vigilant in the future!"
Lin Dongxing and the three of them all nodded seriously, the future is unknown, and the danger does not know if it will come, but too much vigilance is by no means superfluous.
The wind suddenly rose, rolling the mist, like a monstrous wave churning in the air, and in this vast fog, a pillar of blue light plunged into the sky, stirring the wind and clouds.
At one end of the blue pillar of light, a large ship with a blue halo slowly moved forward, and black waves flew along the boat.
At the back of the ship, the pitch-black sea was calm, a little unusual......
Suddenly, a large number of bubbles appeared on the surface of the sea, and these bubbles continued to gush out of the sea.
The bubble does not stand still, but moves quickly, and in the process, the area of the bubble gradually expands, and it does not take long for it to become unimaginably large.
It seems that the bubble is not far ahead...... The Virate Ship of the Fangs!
On the fang-stricken warship, Li Qiang, who had finished explaining the task, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and finally found Zhang Ping and Wu Fan in the crowd, and said, "You two come with me." ”
Wu Fan and Zhang Ping glanced at each other, then squeezed out of the crowd and followed behind Li Qiang, while the others were envious, jealous and hateful, they naturally knew the identities of the two, but they didn't have a good master.
The two followed Li Qiang to a simple wooden door, and the word "captain" was hung on the door.
Push the door and enter, and you can see the view of the room. The room is not decorated, it is very simple, and the space is not large, and you can see a large table in the middle of the room, filled with books and maps.
This made Wu Fan and Zhang Ping a little surprised, but they didn't expect Li Qiang to be a hard-working person, everyone on the ship admired him so much, but he lived in a decent room, very simple!
"You sit down first, and I'll clean it up. With that, Li Qiang moved two chairs and motioned for Wu Fan and Zhang Ping to sit down.
Zhang Ping and Wu Fan were embarrassed? Hurriedly said: "No, let's clean up, Brother Qiang hasn't rested for many days, let's sit here and rest for a while, and leave the rest to us." ”
The two of them admired Li Qiang very much in their hearts, if it weren't for Li Qiang, their life and death would still be unknown, and it was natural for Brother Qiang to be called.
Li Qiang was not hypocritical, he nodded in response, and he was also exhausted, and he was really a little powerless.
The room is not big, but there are too many clutter, and Li Qiang is resting on the side, in order not to disturb him, the two of them try to be as light as possible, so it will take some time to clean up, and when everything is sorted out, Li Qiang also recovered a little.
The neat environment makes people feel happy, Wu Fan also prepared some tea, looking at the steaming tea, Li Qiang took a sip and said, "You have a heart." ”
Zhang Ping and Wu Fan smirked, feeling satisfied.
Li Qiang said: "Actually, Uncle Chang explained to me before, and he wanted to tell you about the stone search, but I have been busy these days, so I didn't take care of you, I'm really sorry." ”
Wu Fan said: "Brother Qiang is polite, you have worked tirelessly and stayed up all night for the safety of the ship in the past few days, it can be said that you have died with all your might, how can we blame you?"
"Yes, yes, it's not too late to tell us. Zhang Ping responded to the side and said.
Li Qiang smiled slightly and said, "That's good, I want to know how much you know about stone hunting?"
Zhang Pingdao: "Actually, I don't know too much, first of all, I know that the location of the stone search is on Heiyan Island, and secondly, the ink stone is found, as for the rest, I don't know anything." ”
Li Qiang nodded and said, "Fortunately, the hundred people on the ship don't necessarily know more than you, at least they don't know what stone they are looking for this time." I have always been the escort of the seventh island, and over the years, I have some understanding of the search for stones, so Uncle Chang asked me to tell you about it. ”
"I see! It is said that the search for stones is extremely dangerous, and nine deaths are life, and I ask Brother Qiang to explain specifically. Wu Fan said.
"Okay, without further ado, let me tell you more about it. ”
Li Qiang immediately got to the point, Wu Fan and Zhang Ping sat upright, listening attentively.
"Speaking of stone hunting, I have to say that in the great war nine years ago, the fanged pirates at that time were invincible and unmatched, even Wangtian City was helpless. The so-called Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, how can the powerful Heavenly Dragon Empire let go of the fanged pirates? Finally, a powerful dragon guard was sent to help Wangtian City. ”
"Long Wei?" Zhang Ping said puzzled.
Wu Fan looked solemn and explained: "Long Wei, a mysterious and powerful special existence in the Heavenly Dragon Empire, and Long Wei generally acts alone. ”
"Acting alone, is it difficult to achieve a person who is called a poisonous fanged pirate?" Zhang Ping said in disbelief.
Li Qiang glanced at Wu Fan, but he didn't expect Wu Fan to know a lot, and then said: "Wu Fan is right, Long Wei is one person, and he is the only one against our poisonous fangs Seven Islands." It's incredible, but we lost, and it was extremely tragic! It was an invincible existence, tearing apart the huge fanged warship with our bare hands! A sword slashed out, shocking the sky, and could cut through the sea!"
Zhang Ping's eyes widened, it was the first time he had heard of such a powerful person, what kind of existence was this?
"Although the Dragon Guard is powerful, they can't find any trace of us, and if it weren't for the betrayal of the former Lord of the Seventh Island, the Poison Fang Pirates may not have suffered a heavy blow from this. Li Qiang sighed.
Wu Fan and Zhang Ping looked at each other face to face, this was the first time they had heard of it.
"If it weren't for the betrayal of the former owner of the seventh island, how could the poisonous fangs of the seven islands exist in name only? How could the seventh island be reduced to the end of being a gatekeeper? Today, the seventh island is treated unfairly, and our owners have no say in many high-level decisions. ”
"No wonder Master drinks and has fun every day, no matter what is important, he knows that the Seventh Island is being ostracized, and nothing can be done, so he doesn't do anything. Zhang Ping suddenly realized.
Li Qiang sighed: "Because of the betrayal, the dragons of the seventh island group have no leader, and the lord of Shang Island has just stood up to become the new owner of the seventh island, he is under pressure and continues to maintain the seventh island, and the lord of Shang Island is also involuntarily." ”
To put it bluntly, Shang Weiyi carried a big cauldron.
Li Qiang continued: "After this battle, the unscrupulous fanged pirates finally suffered a serious blow, although they finally escaped, but this battle made the strength of the fanged pirates useless, most of the brothers were killed and wounded, and it was almost impossible to return to the former strong, and the fangs led the only remaining warships fled back to our root base - the Lost Sea. ”
"The sky is misty, the fog is filled, there is no guidance from the star blue light, Long Wei does not dare to step into it, the former seventh island owner is powerless, and the poisonous tooth pirates can't shrink back, Long Wei can't wait forever, and finally the matter is over. ”
"After the war, the morale of the fanged pirates was low, and the strong enemy was outside, so they did not dare to act rashly, so they had to live in the sea all the time. Until one day half a year later, the crew patrolling the Misty Sea accidentally discovered an island. ”
Speaking of this, Li Qiang paused, Zhang Ping and Wu Fan knew that the point was coming.
"The fanged pirates, who had been rooted in the sea for many years, never discovered the island, so they lit up a star lantern on the island, marked it, and then returned to the leader to report it. When the leader learned of this, he was surprised and curious, and he took hundreds of his brothers to explore the island. Eventually, they found a stone on the island known as 'Ink Stone'. ”
Sure enough, this island is now Black Rock Island, and Moshi got it from it!
Li Qiang said: "Ink stone, an extremely hard stone, is called ink stone because of its inky black surface. If you mix an ordinary iron sword with inkstone the size of Pinky Mother, it will be enough to make this sword a sword that sharpens iron like clay!"
"So powerful!?" Zhang Ping exclaimed, only feeling that he had eaten something amazing.
Wu Fan couldn't help but be moved, no wonder the master wanted to shout and kill, this was a strange thing! If everyone in an army wore this kind of iron sword mixed with ink stones, wouldn't it be invincible and invincible!
When the leader at that time learned of the strange effect of the ink stone, he immediately ordered the news to be blocked, and sent a large number of brothers to the island to find the ink stone. They searched all the way, and finally came to a cave......" Li Qiang's voice became low, and his expression was sad, as if he was thinking about something.
"Our mission is in this hole, right?" Wu Fan guessed.
Li Qiang nodded, put aside his thoughts, and continued: "That's right, this cave is called the Demon Cave, and the task of finding the stone is to enter it to find the ink stone. Because all the ink stones on Black Rock Island have been scavenged, only the ink stones still exist in the demon cave. The brothers went into the cave to look for inkstones, and only 17 of the 300 men entered, which almost dealt a heavy blow to the fanged pirates. ”
Fortunately, the surviving seventeen people brought more than fifty ink stones at the same time. Li Qiang said.
"The leader sent people to forge iron swords mixed with inkstone, and then smuggled them into the Celestial Dragon Empire to buy and sell, and the money obtained was used to build warship weapons, and then cultivate his own power to inject new blood into the fanged pirates. ”
Li Qiang narrated and explained in detail the reasons for this trip, but what really made Wu Fan care was the terrible mortality rate, three hundred people, and only survive...... Seventeen people.
"What kind of danger exists in the Demon Cave, where the casualties are so huge?" Wu Fan asked.
"It's not death or injury, only death! None of the people who came out of the devil's cave were injured!" Li Qiang's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice.
"What!" Wu Fan and Zhang Ping said in unison, looking at each other, both seeing each other's shock, this demon cave was so weird.
Li Qiang said in a deep voice: "This is indeed incredible, but in fact, the surviving people are not only not harmed, but when asked about the encounter in the demon cave, they all say that the journey is smooth, except for the cold and rugged passage, there is no danger at all." At first, Fang's higher-ups thought it was a cover-up to cover up some unspeakable secrets, but then every time the surviving people said the same reason, Fang's higher-ups had to accept the absurd facts. ”
What is the danger in the cave, why did those people die, why are there no people in the slightest danger?
At this time, the demon cave was covered with a strange and terrifying veil......
