3. Spells
In a room of the Yongfu Inn in Minbo City, Zhao Kuangqing and the three of them were discussing things.
One of them is a middle-aged warrior about forty years old, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a ruddy face with two sweeping sword eyebrows, a pair of starry eyes at the bottom, and a sharp sword on his back, the whole person is extremely majestic, but silent.
The other two are old men in their fifties and sixties, one is dressed as a master, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, two whiskers, and always unconsciously sneering on his face, which makes people feel a chill. Another old man dressed as a butler looked approachable.
"Young master, we spent a lot of money to buy a big ship, and the helmsman and shipwright also spent a lot of money to recruit them, just send some cooks and men to do laundry and cook, I don't know if Lu Quan and Wu Dakui have been recruited?"
The old man dressed as a butler asked.
He is Huang Ren, the old butler of Zhao Guogui's palace, and he is also the most trusted person of Lao Guiwang.
Because of this, he became one of the people responsible for escorting the little prince to the East China Sea to find Xiancun. There are also Lu Quan, the doctor of the Guiwang Mansion, the teacher Cao Wen, the peak martial artist Wu Xuan of the Zhao Kingdom, and more than 100 guards of the Guiwang Mansion, and the other two people in the room are Cao Wen and Wu Xuan.
"Not yet, I just sent them to recruit again!"
Zhao Kuangqing's face was clouded.
"The sea is windy and the waves are strong, few ordinary people are willing to go, and it is normal that they have not yet recruited cooks and men!
The old man dressed as a master comforted.
"Master Cao is right!"
Zhao Kuangqing's face instantly turned from cloudy to clear.
On the side of the street at the entrance of the Yongfu Inn, there is a wooden table and two wooden chairs, each of which has a warrior sitting on it.
A tall and thin man among the two warriors shouted, "Are there any cooks and men willing to work on a ship? The salary is five times that of a restaurant!"
Most of the passers-by looked at it, but none of them came to sign up, after all, the waves on the sea are high and the wind is strong, and the legend is that there are terrible monsters running rampant, and ninety-nine people who go out to sea out of 100 people can't come back.
"Lao Quan, we haven't recruited anyone since we came out, but fortunately, we recruited two cooks and eight guys last night, why don't you go back and report to the little prince, you really can't recruit anyone?"
Another big man looked at the situation and discussed it with the tall and thin man.
"Lao Kui, let's wait and see! No one has come to sign up, so go back and report to the little prince!"
The tall and thin man said with a frown.
"Okay!"
The cheeky man nodded in agreement.
In the distance, a young man looking for a job came around, he was Wang Luo, who had just entered Minbo City, and heard someone say that they were recruiting workers here, and the salary was not low, so he looked for it.
"Two uncles, do you accept me for recruitment?"
Wang Luo walked up to the tall and thin man and the big man with cheeks and asked.
"We work on a sea vessel, as long as you don't get seasick. And what's your name, where are you, are you going to be a cook or a man?"
The tall and thin man was busy explaining the situation.
"Two uncles, my name is Wang Luo, a native of Lintong City, Yueguo, who is not seasick and can fry a few side dishes. ”
Wang Luo replied seriously.
"Okay, little brother, I'll register you. Lao Kui, you arrange accommodation for him. ”
The tall and thin man said overjoyed.
"Great!"
The cheeky man pulled Wang Luo to the Yongfu Inn.
Two days later, Wang Luo followed Zhao Kuangqing and a group of warriors to set off from the mouth of the sea in Yue by sea to the East China Sea to find the ethereal East China Sea Ling Island.
The ship had been floating on the vast sea for five months, and the night before yesterday, everyone in the ship was still talking and laughing, talking about the better life ahead.
But the good times didn't last long, and suddenly the sky was full of dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and the endless sea seemed to fall into a dark purgatory.
The rapidly spinning storm in the distance instantly formed a huge column of water that was ten thousand feet high, sucking the huge ship over and tearing it apart easily.
The people on the sea boat fell into the water one after another, and their heart-rending cries and helpers sounded on the sea, but when the catastrophe came, everyone couldn't even save themselves, so how could they have spare time to care about others.
When Wang Luo saw the storm, he felt that the situation was not good, and hurriedly went to the room to pick up a large wooden cutting board and ran out.
As soon as the ship sank, Wang Luo hugged the big chopping board and swam desperately into the distance, but he was still swept away by the huge waves in another direction.
After a long time, the waves washed Wang Luo onto the beach of a desolate island.
Wang slightly let go of the big chopping board and looked around dejectedly.
The unfamiliar coastal beach in front of him was covered with fine yellow sand, mixed with countless small stones, small shells, and conchs.
The beach was a little empty and empty.
A small hill in the middle of the island winds and winds, and the jungle is dense and uninhabited.
In the distance, the sea is magnificent, the blue sky is cloudless, and seabirds skim the water from time to time to hunt for marine fish.
After a long time.
"I'll have to find something to eat, and see if any ships pass by here to get out of this deserted island. ”
Wang slightly touched his shriveled belly and thought.
Suddenly, a large sea turtle slowly climbed onto the beach more than 50 zhang away on the right side of the Canghe River.
"Turtles?"
Wang was stunned for a moment, "Since the turtle climbed onto the beach, it must have come to lay eggs!"
He woke up, and as soon as the turtle crawled back into the sea, he searched carefully in the beach where the turtle had stayed.
Female turtles dig a hole in the beach, lay their eggs in the hole, cover them with sand and swim back to the ocean.
After a cup of tea.
Wang Luo found a nest of seventy or eighty white turtle eggs, and immediately burst into tears.
"Ahh
After a while, Wang Luo found a pile of dead trees and dead branches and leaves from the periphery of the dense forest.
Bury those turtle eggs under the sand on the beach and pile them on the branches.
He dug a small hole in the dead wood and put the dead branches and leaves he had picked up.
Then he used a very hard branch to rotate and rub on the trunk at great speed, and with his strength and speed, it took a long time to produce sparks.
Dead branches and leaves burned.
Immediately, Wang Luo added the pile of dead branches and leaves little by little, and the fire slowly grew bigger, and a bonfire rose.
Wang Luo took off his wet cloth shirt and put it on a branch to dry.
Not long after, the turtle eggs buried in the sand below were baked.
Wang Luo hurriedly dug it out, broke the eggshell, and a hot aroma came to his nose.
Gobbling it up, swallowing it one bite at a time.
"It smells so good!"
Wang slightly ate half of the turtle eggs, his stomach was full, licked his lips, and wiped the residue from the corners of his mouth with his hands.
At this time, six people in the distance walked towards the beach where the Canghe River was located.
Among them are Lu Quan, a tall and thin man who recruited Wang Luo, and Wu Dakui, a big man with a big cheek, as well as Zhao Kuangqing, Little Wangye, Steward Huang, Master Cao, and Wu Xuan.
"Little brother, you've also been washed up on this island, have you found anything to eat?"
Wu Dakui asked as soon as he saw Wang Luo.
"Yes, little brother, did you find something to eat?"
After Lu Quan finished speaking, his stomach croaked a few times.
"I only found a few dozen unpalatable turtle eggs, if you don't mind, use them to satisfy your hunger first!"
Wang Luo dug out the remaining half of the turtle eggs.
"It's okay! It's good to have something to eat! Let's divide it!"
Steward Huang smiled kindly.
After a while, the six of them ate all the turtle eggs, but they were not full, and Wu Xuan went to the sea to hunt more than 20 sea fish.
As night fell, Wang Luo and Zhao Kuangqing went to the jungle next to the beach and grilled sea fish around a bonfire.
"Steward Huang, let's go to this damn broken island, we don't even have oil and salt to eat meat, this king can't stay for a day! We have to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible!" Zhao Kuangqing looked very irritable.
He sat in front of the campfire, holding a skewer of grilled fish in his hand, no salt, no oil, and a fishy smell, and he couldn't eat anything. He lived a life of fine clothes and food every day in the prince's mansion, even on a sea ship, he had never been so desolate.
"The little prince will endure for a few days, and after we build a boat, we will continue to look for the Sea Immortal Village!"
Old Butler Huang replied with a pleasant face, and then said to the old man next to him, "Master Cao, how long do you think it will take for us to build a boat?"
"Building a ship is not easy to say! Without shipwrights and dockyards, even ordinary boats cannot be built, and with our little manpower, we can build a large raft at most. Fortunately, there are spiritual trees on the island, and you can cut spiritual trees to make rafts, and the rafts you build are not easy to be washed away by the waves. But I'm more worried about the Kraken than the boat!"
Master Cao said coldly, "We have Wu Xuan, the peak martial artist of the Zhao Kingdom, here to refine the ninth-level cultivation. And Steward Huang and I are also both late martial artists. plus the little prince, the other eleven warriors. Fortunately, Lu Quan is both a doctor and a martial artist, and he can collect herbs and prepare various medicines for us to heal. Combined, this strength can only fight against a lowest-level Kraken beast, and it is difficult to say how long it can last on this isolated island. ”
When the warriors around the bonfire heard this, their expressions were very ugly.
Master Cao is resourceful, well-informed, and almost calculated, and is the most powerful strategist in the palace of Zhao Guogui. His judgment is basically not wrong.
"There is a strong aura approaching, everyone get ready for battle!"
Wu Xuan suddenly felt something, his face sank, and he shouted at everyone. As a peak martial artist of the ninth layer of body refining, his intuition has always been keen.
"Is it the enemy?"
"Who could that be?"
"Krakenmon! It must be Krakenmon!"
Master Cao thought instantly.
Everyone was shocked, they naturally did not have the slightest doubt about Wu Xuan and Master Cao's words, and each hurriedly drew his weapons, back to back, vigilantly observing the movement outside the camp.
"Boom......"
It seemed to be something, and the sound of rubbing against the dead leaves on the ground was not only clear, but also quickly approached their camp.
The crowd couldn't help but change color.
Wang Wuxuan frowned.
Whew, whew, whew............
A sea python about eight feet long and as thick as a grinding disc sprang out of the dense jungle, and not far away, spit out a long core and stretched and contracted, making a scary "hiss" sound, and a pair of cold eyes stared at the people in the camp.
Under the lighting of the bonfire, everyone saw the sea python not far away, and couldn't help but gasp.
"Wu Xuan, kill this sea python quickly! Otherwise, it will rush over, and we will suffer heavy casualties. ”
Zhao Kuangqing was shocked.
"Yes!"
Wu Xuan obeyed.
He owed the old prince Gui for saving his life in the past, so he agreed to escort Zhao Kuangqing to the East China Sea to find the fairy village.
Leaping forward at the moment, the black sword in his hand shot out three solemn sword rays that almost overlapped.
"Poof!"
The sword slashed at the head of the sea python, and a stream of blood spurted out and fell to the ground. The huge sea python opened its bloody mouth and kept slapping the ground.
Wu Xuan turned around and jumped back to his place steadily.
"Triple strike! The strength of almost a thousand catties, the strongest lethality of a warrior. ”
"Wu Xuan is worthy of being the pinnacle, with such a powerful move, it can be easily displayed!"
The surrounding warriors were stunned and ashamed.
It wasn't until the sea python didn't move on the ground that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't want to stay on this damn desert island for a moment! I can't eat or sleep well, and the sea beasts actually come to harass me every now and then. Fortunately, Wang Xuan is here, otherwise it will rush over, and I don't know what serious consequences it will have! This prince has not found the sea immortal village yet, and he has not avenged the expulsion, how can he die on this desolate island. ”
Zhao Kuangqing was upset at this time, "Master Cao, you have always been full of scheming on weekdays. Hurry up and think of a way to get this Marquis out of this desert island and go to the Sea Immortal Village!"
"Little prince, it's not like there's no way!"
Master Cao looked at the surrounding jungle road with great meaning.
"Oh, how do you do that?"
Hearing that he had an idea, Zhao Kuangqing suddenly came to his senses.
"The way to leave is to build a large, sturdy spirit raft so that you can go to sea again. Fortunately, there are many spirit trees on the island, which are suitable for making spirit rafts. At the same time, we must reserve enough food for the seven of us to eat for more than half a year, enough for us to insist on finding the Sea Immortal Village. It is also necessary to make a lot of healing potions and strong poisons that can kill sea beasts to prevent sea beasts from attacking. The spirit wood is hard and difficult to cut down, and it takes a long time to build a large raft, store a lot of food and make medicine with only the seven of us, and I don't know what year or month it will take to leave. Besides, sea beasts are often attacked, and we can't build rafts with peace of mind, hoard food, and collect herbs. If you want to get out of this island as soon as possible and find the other people on the island as quickly as possible, it's better to have a boatwright!"
Master Zhou said slowly.
After hearing this, Zhao Kuangqing immediately understood, and said, "Master Cao is worthy of being the most powerful strategist in my Guiwang Mansion! ”
