Chapter 126: The Nameless Island
In less than two days, the sunset sparkled on the golden sand, and sometimes a fish burst out of the sea. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The ship slowly sailed into the bay southwest of Pinghu Island and docked to the shore. Xuan Qi stepped off the ship first, and the sailors kept moving the things off the ship.
Throughout the Pinghu Islands, thousands of beggar disciples and "Lotus Thieves" were searching island by island. At night, the sea boat still kept shuttling on the sea, strictly preventing Liu Shuyao's escape.
In the silence of the night, the sea breeze blows gently, and a roaring bonfire is lit on the beach, reflecting the sea in red. Xuan Qi looked at the sea chart in his hand and crossed out a dozen black dots, which were the islands that had already been searched. Starting tomorrow, I will take people to search for Pinghu Island, the largest in the archipelago.
As the Daystar rises in the east, the search for Pinghu Island begins. Three sea ships kept cruising around the island, and hundreds of beggar gang disciples and the "Lotus Thief" gang began to search from the southwest corner of the island, not missing any suspicious places.
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the search team has not found any suspicious places, and there are only a dozen or so islands of all sizes that have not been searched. Only enough search force was left on the outer islands, and the rest of the people were arranged to help search on Pinghu Island.
Another day passed, and the entire Pinghu Island was searched, but nothing was found. Xuanqi asked the fleet to set off in the evening, and the group surrounded the remaining five small islands.
Another half a day passed, and only two small islands were left unsearched. Xuan Qi looked at the nameless island in front of him, where the terrain was strange, the rocks were rugged, and it had the highest mountains and the largest forests in the Pinghu Islands. Although the island is small, the difficulty of searching is much more difficult than that of Pinghu Island.
Thousands of people crowded into this small island, searching from the west, north and south, and under the cliffs to the east, there were seven or eight seagoing ships.
Before sunset, the search team surrounded the high mountain on the island and began to set up camp, ready to rest for the night before conquering the high mountain in front of them.
The next day, near noon, news finally came that human traces had been found on the mountainside. Xuan Qi rushed to hear the news and continued to organize a search team to search the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, dense primeval forests make the search more difficult. Xuan Qi immediately plunged into this dense forest, which was a little gloomy even during the day. After walking a short distance, a small piece of torn black cloth was found on a thorn, which was the color of the killer's black clothes in the "Dark Star Pavilion".
At sunset, Xuan Qi and the others found a small mountain stream and headed in the direction of the cliff to the east. This is the only source of fresh water found on the island, and it is impossible to survive on this island without it. Xuan Qi decided to search in the direction of the mountain stream overnight.
Countless torches lit up on the island, dotted with stars, like stars in the sky. Xuan Qi, Xia Chongxiao, Xia Xuejing, Liu Luoluo and others continued to move along the mountain stream, and in the middle of the night, there was a fault in the mountain stream, and a small water flow fell from the fault, and a dark swarthy sinkhole appeared in front of them.
In the dark night, I couldn't see the appearance of the sinkhole clearly for a while, and it seemed that I could only wait until dawn.
After dawn, I finally saw the sinkhole in front of me. The sinkhole occupies a huge area, and the lush trees cover the entire sinkhole, but it is not clear to see the specific situation under the sinkhole. Soon after, in the direction of the mountain stream to the right, a path was found that could be carried down. The path winds down the cliff face, and everyone can only be more careful and go down.
Descending from the cliff, Xuan Qi took the lead and went into the dense forest. I didn't go far, but I heard a bang, and something shot out of the dense forest. A scream rang out, and everyone rushed forward to check. But it was a wooden spear that passed through the chest of a "Lotus Thief" gang and nailed the gang to the trunk of a towering tree, and it was no longer alive.
Xuan Qi recognized at a glance that this was a spear ejected from the mechanism, which would have such strength and be able to penetrate a person's body. At the moment, I can only order to go down, let everyone be more careful, check carefully, and touch the mechanism.
The search team continued to move forward, and had just walked a dozen steps away, when another scream came, but it was a beggar disciple who stepped on a trap and fell on the bamboo knife densely packed in the trap. Another beggar disciple was startled when he heard the screams, and took a few steps back, but accidentally triggered another mechanism and died under a row of bamboo knives falling from the sky.
Xuan Qi immediately shouted to the team that was searching forward, and told everyone to retreat to the outer edge of the dense forest, as long as they were careful not to let people escape from this sinkhole. Xuan Qi walked forward first, followed only by the four elders of Xia Chongxiao, Xia Xuejing, Liu Luoluo, and the Beggar Gang, while the three brothers Guan Pingjiang were left on the periphery to direct the guards.
Xuan Qi asked everyone to stay away from him a little, while he carefully observed the situation around him. After walking a short distance, Xuan Qi motioned for everyone to stop, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it not far in front of him. There was a loud sound, and four or five spears made of wood or bamboo flew out, startling the birds in the dense forest.
Xuan Qi pulled out a spear nailed to the tree and continued to walk forward. "Be careful!" The cry sounded, Xia Chongxiao had already stabbed a sword to the top of Liu Luoluo's head, and a colorful poisonous snake fell from the tree. Liu Luoluo exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly retreated to Xia Xuejing's side. The viper was cut in two by a sword, and its tail still fluttered.
The sizzling sound came, and the spear in Xuan Qi's hand was thrown, and with a pop, a poisonous snake was pierced by the spear and nailed to the trunk of the tree in the distance, still struggling and turning.
The sizzling sound became more and more numerous, and it seemed that thousands of poisonous snakes were spitting out letters at the same time. Xuan Qi shouted: "Rush!" was already the first to rush forward. The dog-beating sticks in their hands were everywhere, and the poisonous snakes in front of them were picked up one after another. An inconspicuous branch suddenly bounced up, but Xuan Qi was startled, and swept with a dog stick, and the branch flew out and fell on a stone, but it was a bamboo leaf green snake hidden in the branches and leaves.
The people behind him also kept shooting, and rushed forward after Xuan Qi. After half a cup of tea, a small stream appeared in front of me, but it was a stream formed by the flow of water from a mountain stream. As soon as they reached the vicinity of the stream, the group of snakes behind them stopped abruptly, just spitting snake letters in the distance, but they didn't dare to step forward, as if there was something in front of them.
Everyone looked at it, but they saw that four or five feet away from the stream, a row of golden flowers went along the bank of the stream, but it was the nemesis of the poisonous snake.
