The Izumo ships advance towards Shan Bengjima.

Speaking of Shanbang Island, it is not far away, but it can only be said that it is relatively not far, but when you really drive, you know that it is very far.

The weather in the ocean is unpredictable, and the clear sky is suddenly overcast, and in the blink of an eye, lightning and thunder and heavy rain are pouring down.

After a lot of hardships, Zhang Xian and his party finally came to Haode Island, at this time the boatload of people were very tired, and the living materials were almost exhausted.

Koh de Island is still three to five days away from Shan Beng Island.

"Childe, replenish supplies here, recuperate for two days before leaving. ”

Peng Ze's face was very bad, after all, he was not a cultivator, and his physique was poor.

The other three are stronger.

The two old men are also martial arts cultivators, and often go to sea with sellers to maintain ships, and the other young man has a slightly higher cultivation, a beginner Xuanshi, and is the nephew of one of the old men.

Seeing that Peng Ze was not in good health, one of the old men, Zuo Yan, suggested to Zhang Xian.

"Zuo Lao, do you know anything about Haode Island?"

Zhang Xian didn't make a decision right away, he stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the faintly visible black outline of the island and asked.

"Brother Li has been here. ”

Sayan glanced at Li Defeng.

"Yes, I've been here before, but only for one night, and that was three years ago, and that night was really unforgettable for me. ”

"Oh?"

"The last time I came, I was in time for a big war, which was earth-shattering, and it also involved us, if it weren't for the fact that the ship's master on Shan Beng Island was high enough and his prestige was high enough, I wouldn't have waited for today. ”

Li Defeng simply said what happened, he really didn't want to recall the events of that night, it was a nightmare.

"It seems that our trip will not be peaceful, but we have to stop for supplies. ”

Zhang Xian had actually felt the anger there.

It was the chaotic qi produced by the master's long-lasting battle, mixed with evil qi.

So Zhang Xian ordered Liu Chengqian, Ying, Xiao and others to prepare for defense, and the Izumo ship slowly approached Haode Island.

There are three lighthouses on Howde Island, and you only need to drive to one of them to reach the dock where the boat docks.

Sure enough, when the sun turned west, I could see the pier clearly.

There didn't seem to be a few ships docked there, and Zhang Xian glanced back at Li Defeng.

"Childe, doesn't it seem good?"

Li Defeng said a little nervously.

"It's not good, you see the buildings on the dock seem to have been swept by a hurricane, maybe there's just a big war there. ”

Zhang Xian's eyes are excellent, and he can see the scene on the dock clearly from such a distance.

"What should I do?"

Liu Chengqian also became nervous.

"What else can I do, lean in. ”

The fresh water on the ship was almost exhausted, and there was not much food, and it is said that there was no inhabited island in the distance from Shanbang Island, and there was no material replenishment here, although no one died of hunger, but there was no fresh water, which was the most deadly.

The Izumo ship approached the dock, and Ying Xiao commanded the people to be on full alert, but there was no sound on the dock, and there was not even a figure.

There was a strange aura of slaughter, which made everyone even more nervous.

Zhang Xian stood with his hands closed and his eyes closed, he didn't make a sound for a long time, and everyone didn't dare to disturb, under the sunset, a strange scene appeared on the dock.

The gang qi is invisible but real, and ordinary people can't feel it, but people like Zhang Xian, Liu Chengqian, etc. can sense that there is a gang qi floating on the dock.

This Gang cyclone is not very violent, and it has little impact on the monks above the martial master, but the martial artist is a little unbearable, and it is like an evil spirit, the light ones are rotten in their flesh and skin, and the heavy ones are like having a sudden illness, and they can't get a life.

"General Liu, how many more thunders are left in the palm of your hand?"

Zhang Xian opened his eyes, his face was a little pale, and he turned around and asked Liu Chengqian.

"There are less than a thousand. ”

"Enough, General Eagle, gather five hundred archers, each with a mine in their palms, and blow up this dock for me. ”

"Ordered. ”

Liu Chengqian and Ying Xiao didn't ask the reason, and faithfully carried out the order.

Liu Chengqian asked people to take 500 palms of thunder and hand them to Ying Xiao.

"Boom, boom, boom, "

The thunder in the palm of your hand is not very powerful, but its shocking effect is extremely cool.

Five hundred palm-loaded mines were sent to the dock by arrows and exploded, causing a monstrous atmosphere and blowing up smoke and dust in the sky.

When the smoke cleared, there was still no significant change on the dock, and no one appeared.

"General Eagle, do you see the buildings there? Do you estimate that the crossbow bolts will be able to arrive?"

Zhang Xian looked at the dock and did not look back.

"More than 300 steps, to be able to go up. ”

"One for each window. ”

"Wow. ”

Crossbow arrows flew out with a whistling sound.

"Do, do, do、、!!!"

There were ten muffled sounds in the distance, and then they calmed down again.

"General Liu stayed behind, and General Ying took 300 men to disembark with me. ”

Boarding the ship, Zhang Xian stepped off the boat first, followed by Erqin on his side, followed by Ying Xiao with three hundred elites in full armor.

"Two hundred steps of arrows. ”

With a command, Zhang Xian walked towards the buildings three hundred steps away.

The five hundred palms of thunder just now had two intentions, one was to deter, but to use the explosion of thunder in the palm to disperse those invisible cyclones.

And those ten crossbow arrows are a further deterrent.

It's not that there is no one on this dock, but there are a lot of them, Zhang Xian just used his divine sense to probe the side, and there are many people hidden in that row of buildings.

Their purpose was unclear, and Zhang Xian didn't intend to hurt anyone.

He's here for supplies, not for war.

But I don't understand what the people here mean, but when I see their strange appearance, I will first dismount, so that these people have scruples and dare not act rashly.

So far, the expected results have been achieved.

According to Zhang Xian's orders, two or two hundred steps off the ship, three hundred elite soldiers quickly formed a three-fold arrow array, Ying Xiao stayed, and Zhang Xian continued to move forward with Er Qin.

Less than fifty steps away from that row of buildings, the people in the buildings finally 2 couldn't help but walk out.

"Who's coming?"

A big man with sideburns and a long-pole wheel axe shouted at Zhang Xian.

"Passers-by!"

Zhang Xian said lightly.

"Does your action just now mean a provocation?"

It can be seen that this person is a little weak-hearted, and everyone is like this, and they have a sense of fear of unknown things.

This kind of thing is rare in the Continent of Chenyue, and I am afraid that no one has ever seen it on the islands in the depths of the ocean, and the explosion effect of five hundred palm mines is too shocking.

"You think so, and I don't want to argue. ”

At this moment, someone came out with ten crossbow arrows.

This thing has a thick baby arm, one zhang long, and the arrow is about a foot long with a palm width, and the light is shining, which makes people chill when they look at it.

"You 、、?"

The man-bearded man glanced at the crossbow arrow and swallowed his saliva.

"What the hell do you want?"

"In exchange for barter, we need grain, vegetables and fresh water. ”

Seeing that the man with sideburns was stunned, Zhang Xian said the purpose of the trip.

"Look, look at us here, hehe,"

The sideburns man smiled bitterly.

"You see there are still a few boats on the dock, they are also here to replenish, three days ago, we were attacked by the Su family in Maling, and the people on those boats were arrested, the Su family left the words, let us prepare thirty carts of grain and ten carts of cloth, go and exchange those people back, five days is limited, and kill people in time. ”

"What does this have to do with me?"

Zhang Xian said coldly.

"Don't you also want food, we don't have it, even if you give us any treasures, we really can't get food, but we do have fresh water.

Alas, too, what's the point of me telling you all this nonsense, you should leave quickly, if you let the Su family know that you are docked here, we will not be able to protect you. ”

"Brother Hu, it's really you. ”

Originally, Zhang Xian didn't let Li Defeng get off the boat, after all, his cultivation was not high, and he was also the technician of the ship king, trying his best to ensure his safety, but I don't know how he came over.

Zhang Xian looked back at Li Defeng, who was being pulled by Ying Xiao.

"You know?"

"Childe, he is the big shopkeeper of Hujia Wharf. ”

"Oh. ”

Zhang Xian waved his hand, and Ying Xiao let go of Li Defeng to come over.

"You're 、、? oops, Lao Li. ”

Seeing Li Defeng's face clearly, the sideburns man looked a little excited.

"Brother Hu, what's going on with you here?"

"Alas, don't mention it, I was bullied to death by the Su family. ”

The sideburners stomped their feet in annoyance.

"By the way, come and let me introduce you, this is Zhang Gongzi, the best friend of the ship king, and this trip is to visit relatives and friends on Shanbang Island. ”

As soon as Zhang Xian saw that Li Defeng and this sideburns man were very familiar, he lifted his guard.

This row of buildings is the only inn on the dock where the leopard is still alive.

Originally, there were many buildings on this pier, all of which were very distinctive, but as a result, there have been wars over the years, and they have almost been destroyed.

Sunset.

Liu Chengqian led people to set up tents on the wharf and drifted all the way on the ocean, and the crew members were very tired and irritable, so they got off the ship and relaxed.

In the big tent, Li Defeng chatted with Hu Leopard.

Zhang Xian became an observer.

From Hu Bao's narration, it is known that there were originally three major families in Haode Island, and the Hao family was the dominant family at the beginning, and later the Hu family and the Su family came.

There are no treasure mines in Haode Island, but because of the suitable climate and the fact that the plain in the middle of the island is the most suitable for sowing, the most abundant crops in Haode Island are grain.

Haode Island is very large, and the Hao family naturally can't reclaim that large piece of wasteland, and the Hu family and the Su family also have surplus land.

At first, the three families lived in peace, and there was no dispute.

The three families opened docks on three sides of the island of Howder for the exchange of grain for other substances.

More than 20 years ago, the Hao family underwent great changes overnight, two-thirds of them died inexplicably, the Hao family's power plummeted, and they were forced to move away more than ten years ago.

After the Hao family moved away, his land became borderless, so the Su family and the Hu family began to quarrel over this land, and finally began to fight.

Five years ago, the Hu family also had the inexplicable death of a large number of people like the Hao family.

The Hu family felt it, this was the Su family's secret hand.

However, the Hu family's vitality was greatly damaged, and they were powerless to resist at all, so they were oppressed to the current state, and they couldn't hold on.

Zhang Xian had no intention of intervening in this kind of conflict of interests, but now that they are in urgent need of living supplies, the Hu family seems to have no way to provide them.

They even have a hard time maintaining themselves.
