The area of the Emerald Island that revealed its true face was not large, but it was still more than enough to carry the two or three thousand people who poured up from all directions, and it did not seem too crowded.

Everyone had the same goal, and they all rushed to the direction of the White Tower.

After the first dozens of people entered, the scene began to be a little chaotic, some large sects left people to block the late arrivals, many people who watched the excitement stopped at the periphery, and there were also many late and pretentious guys who started to fight with the people who blocked them.

Wei Zhanmei and Ji Yu did not rush in, but stood on a rock looking for Ji Xuanjiao and Ye Qianqian, but there were many people and they couldn't find it immediately, but they saw Luo Shuangzhi's mother and daughter.

The white tower in front of you is about 20 zhang high, and the brick and stone structure is not reduced despite being immersed in water for a long time.

The base of the tower is the square high platform of bricks and stones, the tower base is the three-layer tower base with multiple folded corners, the bottom is the parapet wall, the second and third floors are the Sumeru seat, each floor is symmetrical on the four sides of the two folded corners symmetrically, and many facades are stacked.

The girdle part of the Sumeru seat is set off by the corner pillars on both sides and the upper and lower fangs, which makes the shape of the whole tower base beautiful, rich in cascading changes.

The shape of the tower body is like a gourd, the upper part is the long neck of the conical shape, the thirteen sections are a metaphor for the "thirteen days", the top pattern copper plate erects eight layers of copper tower brake, which is divided into four parts: brake seat, phase wheel, treasure cover and brake top.

There are two doors at the base of the tower, and the inside is divided into several layers.

After a while, a few people forced their way in, and the rest found a place at a distance, waiting with great interest to see the excitement.

As long as the strange treasure is in the world, the super masters and the sects with a large number of people will inevitably fight, not counting the individual people who are waiting to participate in the snatching and picking up the leaks, most of them are actually here to watch the play.

And it's a big show, no matter who can take the lead, it won't be easy to keep the treasure and get out, the process is bound to be full of twists and turns, and those who have experienced it will regard it as a rare talk that can be talked about for a long time.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no expected sound of fierce scramble in the White Tower, but it was quiet, and no one came out.

When everyone couldn't help but talk about it, finally some people who went in began to come out one after another, and everyone's face was a stupid and unkind color.

Someone asked loudly, and after gossiping, a sturdy old man in purple robe who was surrounded by many people said loudly:

"Fellow martial artists, please be quiet, Tao Ranting, the owner of the old man's mirror Hongshan Villa, so that everyone can learn that a very regrettable news, after repeated confirmation, this white tower of Fei Leng Cui Island is empty, and there is no "Big Nerve" and Willow Leaf Nerve Knife at all. We, we've all been teased. ”

The audience was in an uproar, and some people continued to ask what was going on.

It turned out that the people who entered tacitly maintained restraint and did not move before finding the treasure, but scattered to find it.

After digging three feet into the ground several times and taking turns to investigate, although there were also several sandwich walls and compartments and secret passages in the tower, the problem is that there are only some exquisite Buddhist statues and ritual utensils inside, but there is no shadow of scriptures and treasure knives.

Everyone listened to each other, this joke was so big, thousands of people gathered here, it turned out to be a fake news to make fun of you, and some people scolded at the moment.

Everyone does not suspect that Tao Ranting's words are false, because there will never be a situation where the people inside collude and join forces to deceive everyone in full view, and people with a heart are already discussing what is wrong with this matter.

See you in the picture, and the answer will soon come uninvited!

A man standing on a high place suppressed all the chatter in his voice: "Look, what is that? There is a boat on the lake!"

Everyone turned to watch, but saw that on the lake in the distance, seven or eight large boats and twenty or thirty small boats appeared in sight, and they were rapidly heading towards the Emerald Island.

The sharp-eyed man shouted out again: "The blue sky and white water are full of yellow, and there are black mountains and flying dragons." It's not good, that's the splendid flying dragon flag of the Qingchuan sailor! Trap, we were fooled!"

At this time, there is no need to think about it, no matter how stupid people are, they will know what is going on.

The island was suddenly in chaos.

Hidden far away in the outer river bay, at this time, from the mouth of Xihai Lake, it was the warship of the Qingchuan Naval Army.

Although it is not a huge ship that can sail on the ocean, it is also the main medium-sized building ship that is rampage on the river, and I saw dozens of large oars on both sides flying up and down neatly, which was very beautiful, and the speed was extremely fast.

There was no rush to the shore, there was no persuasion to surrender, the flag was waved, all the portholes on the side of all the ships were opened, and several archers were waiting in line at each place.

Gunpowder was already available in this era, but artillery had not yet appeared, and long-range attacks could only rely on strong bows and crossbows.

The point is that there are no trees and shrubs on the island, there are bare rocks everywhere, there are very few places to hide, and the rocks are covered with slippery moss and algae, which greatly affects the speed of movement.

In this case, the heroes of the rivers and lakes are simply thousands of live targets.

Fortunately, everyone has martial arts in their bodies and weapons in their hands, although the arrows are dense and the feet are slippery, it is not a problem to dial the carving feather, so under the first round of salvos, the number of casualties is not much.

After a rain of arrows, the boat turned around and sent out a second round of locust-like attacks from the other side.

The crowd ran and avoided like headless flies, and the number of casualties was even greater than in the first round of shooting.

Then, the heroes fell into complete panic and even despair.

One of the reasons is that I found out that this was a trap, and I felt ridiculous and frightened after being deceived into the dice.

The second reason is that some of the arrows dipped in fire oil shot at the fishing boats on the shore, the fishing boats were burned, the retreat route was cut off, and everyone could only be trapped on the isolated island, unlike on land that could still rush out desperately.

The third reason is Qingchuan's obvious intention to exterminate and kill this time.

A small number of people raised their hands and ran to the shore to signal surrender after two rounds of bow and arrow attacks, but they were still killed by random arrows, and some people risked their lives to jump into the lake in a vain attempt to swim to escape, but they were also shot and killed by the officers and soldiers on the small clipper boat that caught up.

After two rounds of arrows, the Qingchuan Mariner surprisingly stopped attacking, but this was more of a delaying and heart-attacking tactic.

One is that at this time, the sky is getting dark, but the clouds are raining, the full moon is hanging high in the sky, the fifteenth moon is bright, the sight is still good, if you wait until the moon is dark, the effect of the arrow is better.

Second, even if Qingchuan is only besieged and not attacked, most of the people are still alive, but everyone lacks food and drink, and there is no cover, and they are exposed to the sun during the day, and they are afraid of flying arrows day and night, and they dare not rest, and they will run out of physical strength in two or three days, and collapse on their own without a fight.

Third, the feeling that the turtle in the urn can only sit and wait for death drags on for a long time, the more desperate it becomes. When people are really in a desperate situation, they can temporarily put their lives and deaths out of the way, but so what? Many people are landlubbers, and they can kill one on the flat ground to earn one, but on the island they don't even have the possibility of desperate efforts.

The incessant shouting and cursing were gone, and a sense of despair permeated.

Wei Zhanmei expected this situation, so he found a rock with a large crack in advance to stop, and he couldn't find a ** place on the entire island in this kind of place.

When the rain of arrows came from all directions, there were rocks to cover, and there were not many arrows that could be shot, and it was easy to block, with the skills of the two of them, although there were many people fighting for this hiding place that could hide more than ten people, he and Ji Yu had always been very safe.

He expected that he would be fine with Ji Makeup and Ye Qian's kung fu, but he was as anxious as everyone else, and there was no way to escape.

The reason why there is no despair is because in the end, the most unfortunate thing is that when the official army landed on the island to exterminate the remnants, as the princess Ji Yu, she could naturally protect the safety of several people.

The Qingchuan army suspended the attack, but the island was not quiet, and the relatively hidden places were occupied by masters, but there were always people who rushed in at the risk of danger, in order to seek temporary stability.

It took another while for the sound of the fight to fade away.

Wei Zhanmei was closing his eyes to recuperate, and suddenly heard someone whispering in the distance: "Secret Dao! There is a ...... here" The voice stopped abruptly, as if someone had broken his neck.

The exclamation was not very loud, and no one else could hear it clearly, thanks to Wei Zhanmei's recent internal strength, he could make his words clear.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and Ji Yu was also looking at him fiercely: "It's not like there's a fake, go and see?"

It is better to have a change than to wait for nothing to do, Wei Zhan frowned, and the two of them came out of the rock crack under the incomprehensible gaze of the people around them, and went straight to the sound.

It turned out that a craftsman who was proficient in the secret art of the mechanism was protected by his companions, and after he was frightened, he was bored in the innermost part of the crevice, so he habitually inspected the environment around him, and even caused him to accidentally see through the external camouflage of a mechanism, and crack and open the entrance to an artificial secret passage.

This person was pleasantly surprised, and after informing his companion, he first went in to reconnoiter the truth, not wanting to be seen by others and called out, although his companion immediately took action, there were still people nearby who were attracted to it.

The news flew without feet, and all of a sudden the crowd was excited, and when Wei Zhanmei came, there was already a crowd of people in front of him, all thinking about taking the road to enter the secret passage.

It doesn't matter if it's an escape or a dead end in the secret passage, the left and right islands are also the target of the Qingchuan Army sooner or later, and it's good to be able to go in and dodge the rain of arrows that can come at any time.

When Wei Zhanmei was still hesitating to kill in, the sharp-eyed Ji Yu recognized Ji Makeup and Ye Qianqian who were rushing together in the chaotic crowd in front of him.

Then there is nothing to say, Ji Yu opened the way in front with the Youxin Taixuan Sword, and Wei Zhanmei's white slashing double knife supported left and right, and the two of them cut melons and vegetables.

Blood burst out, and people screamed and fell down.

Wei Zhanmei was a little puzzled in the chaos of the fight, instead of being in a different place now, it was better to wait outside for a longer time, why do these people still want to go forward like moths throwing fire? I want to talk about "The Gate of the Daomen" with more like-minded people, WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chats about life, and finds confidants~
