In the room, Li Qiang couldn't stop his sadness and continued: "Just a month after he told me the secret of the Demon Cave, he became suspicious and irritable. Then one day, he came to me to say goodbye to me, saying that he was going to patrol the sea. At that time, I noticed that he was preoccupied and hurried, and he was not prepared to patrol the sea. ”

"I naively thought that this was his first sea patrol, and this state was inevitable. It wasn't until the fanged warship he piloted disappeared forever into the vast sea that I suddenly realized why his face was so ugly that day, and why his behavior was so stiff, because it was the last goodbye......"

In addition to the pain in the small room, there is also a depressed silence, the loss of a close friend, and the strange disappearance, but I can't do anything, and the feeling of loss and sorrow is unbearable for ordinary people.

In addition to trusting them, Li Qiang's words are more of a wake-up call to them, it is not difficult to see that Li Qiang's brother is dead, and all this is related to the demon cave!

His brother knew that he was about to die, so he said goodbye to him, why didn't he tell the reason, for fear that it would bring death to Li Qiang!

The more you know, the faster you die!

"Don't say it, I don't want him to do anything, don't say it. ”

Li Qiang covered up his sadness, and said with a smile: "No matter what, these two defective star blue mother stones will be handed over to you, I hope to help you, if you encounter a crisis of life and death, you might as well set it on fire, of course, I hope you don't need these two mother stones, you can get out of the demon cave safely." ”

"Thank you for your trust in us, tell us this, and these two mother stones, he will repay them one day!" Wu Fan got up and bowed sincerely to Li Qiang.

Li Qiang is a pirate, and he is a man of flesh and blood, with his ability, he doesn't have to stay on the seventh island at all, as long as he wants, the other six islands will open their doors to him. But his feelings are contrary to the pirate world, incompatible, only the seventh island can really accommodate him, because there are many people like him here, so he has made a lot of friends, so he will not leave here.

He is a person who will not bow his head easily, he has his principles, he has his beliefs, and this escort mission is proof of this! He is a respectable pirate, and he is the same kind of person as the owner of the seventh island, at least Wu Fan thinks so, so he expresses his respect.

They are all people who have suffered because the world does not allow them to exist, but they have not changed the original, so they are still alive and therefore they are something to be proud of!

Looking at Wu Fan, Li Qiang was relieved: "Just forget about repaying, I just hope that you can return safely, and you can't disappoint our island owner!"

Zhang Ping said domineeringly: "Don't worry, our senior brothers attack, the two swords are combined, and no one can do it!"

Wu Fan smiled......

"Brother Qiang!"

Lin Dongxing's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Li Qiang showed a serious face and said, "Come in." ”

I saw Lin Dongxing push the door in, his face was cold, and there was a lot of dark red blood on his body, which was a proof of fighting with the Black Water Beast and a symbol of his bravery.

Lin Dongxing glanced at Zhang Ping and Wu Fan first, and then walked in front of Li Qiang and stood respectfully to the side.

"Tell me, how about the casualties. ”

Li Qiang's voice was a little low, with his years of experience, some things had already been calculated the moment they happened, such as the number of casualties......

Dongxing did not speak immediately, but glanced at Wu Fan and Zhang Ping again, hesitated for a few seconds, and said slowly: "This time I escorted a hundred people, plus forty-nine escorts, ten ship-pilots, and twenty gunners, a total of one hundred and seventy-nine people. Of these, two were lost to the sailors, twelve to the gunners, twenty-five to the patrols, and only sixty-three of the most important of the hundred survived, and now there are one hundred and three on board. ”

Half of the casualties, not counting the wounded, show the fierceness of the battle.

Li Qiang was silent, quietly listening to the report of the eastbound journey, bowing his head and saying nothing. Lin Dongxing also stood aside, no longer speaking, the room was so quiet and depressed, the slightly bumpy table shook off the ink pen, but no one cared.

The room trembled slightly, and the roar of the sea hitting the hull of the ship had become strange when it reached the room, Wu Fan felt that the atmosphere was really solemn, so he pulled up Zhang Ping next to the sound and said goodbye to Li Qiang.

......

Because Wu Fan was injured in the battle with the Black Water Beast, he stayed at home for the past two days and stayed in the room to recuperate from his injuries in preparation for the trip to the Demon Cave.

Compared with Wu Fan, Zhang Ping is full of energy and making trouble everywhere, in two days, he ran the bow and stern of the ship, and it was the star-blue lighthouse that was related to everyone's life and death, and he took care of it mercilessly several times. Of course, he was not stupid enough to publicize this kind of thing everywhere, otherwise, he would have been beaten up by everyone, stripped naked, and thrown into the sea.

During this period, from time to time, they would be attacked by a small wave of black water beasts, at most there were only a hundred black water beasts, and the strongest was only Huang Mang's strength, Dongxing and Sanming led the patrol team to solve it easily, and no dangerous major events occurred.

If there is anything to say, it is that Zhang Ping is familiar with Sanming and Lin Dongxing, in the past two days, the three of them have joined forces more than once to repel the black water beast, Zhang Ping has made great contributions, and Sanming and Lin Dongxing have greatly affirmed and appreciated his strength.

On this morning, Zhang Ping kicked open the door, and the sudden dull sound startled Wu Fan, who was recuperating from his injuries.

Wu Fan was about to scold, but Zhang Ping took the lead and asked, "What's the matter, are you healed?"

Who knew that Wu Fan didn't say a word, and threw a punch directly, Zhang Ping was taken aback, but his reaction was not slow, and he also punched over.

The two fists collided and parted with a dull thud.

Zhang Ping shook his slightly numb shoulder and grinned, "Yes, it seems that you are recovering well." ”

"Basically recovered, the medicine that Master gave me is indeed very useful. ”

Wu Fan adjusted his body and moved his muscles and bones, but he suffered a big loss from the collision just now. In fact, he really wanted to teach this bastard a good lesson, but his strength was not good and he couldn't move the other party.

Zhang Ping said: "The effect of the medicine refined by the master must not be said, it is just too unpalatable, if the taste is improved, it is also a good snack." ”

"I have the ability to say it in front of the master. Wu Fan said sarcastically,

"Hey, just kidding, I can't take it seriously. Zhang Ping hurriedly shook his hand, thinking about the painful lessons of the previous days, he shuddered.

Wu Fan didn't care, and said, "Say, you just entered the door roughly, what happened?"

"Eh, I almost forgot about business. Zhang Ping patted his head and said, "We are about to arrive at Heiyan Island, the scenery outside is particularly spectacular, let's go, I'll take you to see." ”

So Zhang Ping couldn't help but pull Wu Fan to run to the deck.

The sea breeze is blowing, the fog on the sea has lightened a lot, and people's eyes have become broader. The pirate ship was moving smoothly, and the neighborhood seemed to be relatively calm, with strong winds and waves or reefs all over the place, which did not exist here.

The ship is still surrounded by mist, only a large fog in front of it is slightly strange, the light blue light blends with the white mist, both real and illusory, like a cloud-shrouded fairyland.

Wu Fan stood at the bow of the boat, leaning forward as far as he could, his eyes wide, wanting to see what was going on. However, after shaking his head for a long time, he didn't see anything, but was made with tears in his eyes by the sea breeze.

Fog, in addition to fog and fog, Wu Fan turned his face away, and looked at Zhang Ping speechlessly with an excited face, he now felt like a fool.

"How? ”

Zhang Ping reluctantly shifted his gaze to Wu Fan, "Huh, why are you crying? Even if I take you to see the scenery, I won't be moved to cry." ”

However, Zhang Ping always felt that something was wrong, as if he had ignored something, and after a few seconds, he suddenly patted his head and said, "Oh! ”

Looking at Zhang Ping's sudden realization, Wu Fan couldn't wait to kick him into the sea, no!

As the ship drifted farther away, the fog on the sea became lighter and lighter, and it was almost to its destination.

"It's here, it's here, I've seen it!" cried a little pirate watching from the bow.

The pirates on the deck are all here, and when they catch a glimpse of the rumored Black Rock Island, only the escorts are dismissive and continue to maintain order.

"It's spectacular, it's incredible!"

"Is this Black Rock Island, a legendary dangerous place?" someone said in disbelief.

"Look at the pillar of light that goes straight into the sky, it seems to pierce the sky. ”

"It's like a fairyland looming in the light!"

“......”

Everyone was talking, Wu Fan looked at it a few times, but he was still relatively calm, while Zhang Ping shouted excitedly, looking like he had never seen the world.

The Poison Fang Pirate Ship gradually approached Black Rock Island, and the ships on each island had a corresponding docking position, so the Poison Fang Warship on the Seventh Island made a small half circle around Black Rock Island before slowly landing at the shore.

"Docked! Docked! All those who participated in the stone search lined up! Disembark in turn!"

After the violent shaking of the boat, the escort put down the wooden ladder on the ship, and Lin Dongxing and Sanming guarded the wooden advance on the left and right, one to maintain order and the other to count the number of people, in case someone fished in troubled waters.

As soon as everyone stepped off the ship, several of the agitated pirates were reluctant to disembark, knowing that once they set foot on Black Rock Island, their lives would be out of their hands. As a result, these people were thrown into the sea by Lin Dongxing all at once, and this killing of chickens and monkeys was quite effective, and the subsequent people also quieted down and obediently got off the boat.

After Wu Fan and Zhang Ping said goodbye to Li Qiang and the others, they finally left the Poison Fang Pirate Ship and stepped into the destination of this trip, Black Rock Island.

In addition to a few people who were thrown down, a total of more than 60 people stepped into this unknown foreign land, most of them were uneasy and looked abnormal, and a small number of people were calm, Wu Fan and Zhang Ping were among them.

This is a new beginning, both opportunities and dangers, and how many of them will make it out alive?

Black Rock Island is an isolated island, surrounded by no connected islands and reefs, I don't know if it is deliberate, or it is a miracle of nature, from a distance, it seems that the endless black sea water supports this magical island, which is daunting.

There is no grass on the island, and it is all bare and rugged black rocks, and even insects are rare, there is no life, just cold black rocks, and the meaning of killing is revealed from the inside out.

More than sixty people stood in a group, few dared to run around, they landed on the island, but they did not know what to do next, no one told them what to do, they could only wait in confusion.

The pirates are accustomed to humid air, and here, in addition to the humidity, there is also a chill, which is fine at first, but gradually some people feel headaches and fatigue, and have to move around to alleviate the bad symptoms.

"Hey, look, what's that?"

A person who looked around for the sake of activity seemed to have discovered something.

It was already boring to wait and irritating, and every movement around them pulled their empty hearts, so soon more than 20 people surrounded them.

"Good fellow, that's a cannon!"

"It's hidden in the black rock, and if we hadn't seen the protruding part from the side, we would have thought it was an ordinary rock. ”

"It's terrible, this rock wall is full of killing machines, and that area is full of cannons, there are hundreds of them, and this is still a small part of what we see. ”

When everyone understood this, they were all frightened, and they all obediently stopped moving, for fear of touching something terrible.

Black Rock Island is only the tip of the iceberg, and it has already shocked everyone!

There was not the slightest fog on the island, and there was a stone staircase in front of everyone who did not know where to go, and everyone did not dare to move without knowing it, but after a while, someone noticed the movement on the stone staircase.

That's footsteps, someone coming down from above!

Everyone waited quietly, and after a moment, they saw a young man in blue clothes slowly walking down the stone stairs.

"Seventh Island, come with me!"

The young man casually glanced at the crowd, and without saying a word, turned and walked up the stone stairs.

"What kind of attitude is this, it's infuriating!"

"It's just, I think I am. ”

Some people shouted quietly, but everyone still kept up with the young people, who were unfamiliar with life here, had no strength, no background, and could only accept their fate when they were bullied by others, and at most they could only complain a few words.

Wu Fan didn't care about these at all, he always stared thoughtfully at the young man's back, where there was a red "law" printed on the cyan clothes, which looked a little weird.

The stone stairs are endless, going up little by little, and I don't know how many steps I have taken, everyone does not feel tired at all, but more and more surprised, and more and more feel the magic and horror of Black Rock Island.

Seeing everyone's surprise, the young man looked disdainful and said: "Heiyan Island is divided into two parts, the outer island, which is the first line of defense of Heiyan Island, and it is also the port of landing on the island. Now the stone staircase will lead to the inner island, you remember, the inner island is not simpler than the outer island, you give me peace and quiet, don't do anything superfluous, if something goes wrong, your life is not guaranteed, don't blame me for not reminding you!"

The crowd was frightened, and although they didn't know why the young man kindly reminded them, they already believed eighty percent of them from the terrible murderous intent on the islands off Black Rock.

"This guy was worried that we would implicate him, so he was 'kind' to remind him, right?" Zhang Ping whispered in the crowd.

"You're not stupid. Wu Fan glanced at Zhang Ping.

"Of course, if it weren't for my ingenuity on the Poison Fang Pirate Ship, you would have been slashed a long time ago. And the water beast we slain together, if I hadn't been resourceful and insightful, you would have been torn alive by the water beast. And a ...... five years ago"

Five years ago, who knew you! The more he talked, the more outrageous it became, Wu Fan patted his head, too lazy to pay attention to Zhang Ping.

Moving to change the scene, when everyone walked for a long time, looking down at the stone ladder under their feet, the bottom was not visible, the breeze blew, everyone couldn't help but shiver, how high is this stone ladder?

"It's here!"

The young man came up with a sentence coldly, which surprised everyone who had climbed the stone ladder to numbness.

"This is!?"

"It's spectacular, I can't imagine it!"

The crowd exclaimed, for them, this was probably the most shocking sight they had ever seen in their lives.
