- On the small passenger ship, the sound of the steam engine "dongdongdongdong" has been ringing for nearly five hours. In sharp contrast to this harsh and monotonous sound, there are things flying in the sky from time to time. There were the cries of seagulls and the roar of waves hitting the hull of the boat.
The passenger ship rides the wind and waves, constantly stirring up piles of snow-white water droplets on the bow. The snow-white water droplets fly high, shining under the sunlight, like silver beads, thorns that keep standing Zhang Tie, who was staring at the sea ahead on the second deck of the passenger ship, narrowed his eyes slightly.
Today is already December 5, Monday, the day Zhang Tie reports to Qianlong Hall.
The weather today is very good, the sun is shining brightly. I think that on the first weekend of last month, I was still participating in the Oktoberfest in Brape, and a month later, I was already on this vast sea, going to a new place. , a place where he started his destiny journey, Zhang Tie couldn't help but sigh at the magic of destiny.
Thinking of those things, the shadow of a girl with black eyes couldn't help but appear in Zhang Tie's mind - Pandora! Before leaving Karur, what worried Zhang Tie the most was this name.
Pandora's family has left Black Flame City and disappeared suddenly. No one knows where Pandora has gone. This girl seems to have never appeared in Black Flame City, like a drop of water jumping in the sun, suddenly After a while, it fell back into the sea, without all traces. Even the neighbors next to their house didn't know when their house was empty.
Alice's family also left Black Flame City. When Alice's family left Black Flame City, Alice left a letter for herself and asked Barry to give it to her. Alice's father took her and her mother there Nottingham, the northern capital of the Norman Empire.
Beverly worked as a nurse in a hospital in Black Flame City, and the girls in the Rose Club also lived their own lives according to their original life trajectories. The absurdities of the past seem to have become distant memories.
The former city defense force of Black Flame City has been completely disbanded, and the thirty-ninth division stationed in Black Flame City has begun to officially expand. Most of the partners and friends I once met in school have enlisted in the army, and only a few of them have been recruited due to their past experiences. The recruits who failed the physical examination were passed down.
The reason why the fat guy Barry was removed was because he had asthma. The reason why Chauvin was removed was because he was too thin and could not meet the minimum standards for recruits in the Norman Empire. The other person who was removed was Porter - this one The boy who was deceived by him into becoming a fire bearer - Porter was dismissed because he had flat feet. People with flat feet, like people with asthma, were not allowed to join the army in the Norman Empire.
?Compared to the former Andaman Alliance. The conditions for recruits to enlist in the Norman Empire were indeed much stricter.
Zhang Tie still felt a little guilty about Porter until now, because by the time he left Black Flame City, other members of the Shen'en Society had already enlisted in the army, and only Porter was still digging. Still persisting in obtaining the inheritance of the "Great Blessing Technique" through hard work such as mining. In this regard, in addition to expecting Porter to give up automatically after persisting for a period of time and letting Barry take care of him when necessary. Zhang Tie had no other option. Facing Potter's thin body, his eyes were as persistent and firm as fire. Zhang Tie couldn't even bear to tell him that this was all a joke.
"Ah, look, dolphin"
A somewhat surprising voice behind him suddenly brought Zhang Tie's thoughts back to reality. Zhang Tie shook his head and expelled everything related to Black Flame City from his mind. The most important thing now is to accumulate his own strength. If you have the strength, in the future, when the human race's holy war comes, it will be no problem to bring everyone you know in Black Flame City and their families to the Eastern Continent. At this moment, I was just a little shrimp in the torrent of fate. I could barely jump around under the water, but I couldn't even see the direction ahead.
On the sea in the distance, several dolphins that jumped out of the water from time to time were happily chasing and playing with the ship. Zhang Tie looked back and found that five people had come up on the deck next to him.
These five people, three men and two women, are all older than Zhang Tie. All five of them are armed with weapons. The three men are all very strong and strong. They look like martial arts practitioners. One of the other two women is in her thirties. , a woman in her mid-thirties, with a slim waist and breast augmentation, and a heroic appearance. Although her face had a slight frosty color, it was like a ripe peach, and her whole person was full of allure. Feminine style. The woman who was seventeen or eighteen years old had almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks, a pair of long beautiful legs, and was somewhat pretty. Although she was younger, she was still a little taller than the woman in her thirties.
The exclamation just now was made by this young woman. The woman looked at the dolphins in the distance and clapped her hands with joy.
"Since Fu Mei likes dolphins so much, why not wait until she is promoted to level six and gathers her fighting spirit, then let Junior Brother Yu catch two dolphins and give them to you. I think as long as Fu Mei opens her mouth, regardless of the swords and mountains of fire, Junior Brother Yu will definitely You won't refuse, right, Junior Brother Yu! "The woman who said this was a woman in her thirties. Mature women are different and can make such jokes at will.
"Senior Sister Fang, you are making fun of me again!" The seventeen-year-old woman stamped her foot and secretly glanced at the somewhat handsome man among the three men.
The man's face was a bit tenderer than that of the woman. At this time, he just made a casual joke, and his face turned red, and he spoke a little bit nervously, "As long as Fu Mei Fu My sister likes it, we can often go see dolphins!"
Fu MeiJunior BrotherSenior Sister Listening to these well-spoken words and these unique Chinese titles, Zhang Tie has roughly guessed the identities of these people. It is estimated that these people are from Tang De. I'm talking about a sect within the Chinese ethnic group.
The sect among the Chinese is still a new thing to Zhang Tie. In Zhang Tie's impression, the sect is like a super hodgepodge, which is a collection of families, business groups, colleges, churches, guilds and even the army. An interest group organized by some of the characteristics of the society and tied by blood ties, esoteric inheritance, various interests and personal attachments.
Things like sects. Except in Chinese countries, they are rarely seen in other places. Zhang Tie has never heard of any sects in places like the Andaman Alliance. There are many other churches, academies, battle halls, and various secret groups. Although master-disciple relationships also exist in some places, they are all sporadic. There is no large-scale inheritance system.
In the Hebrew-speaking areas, the closest organizational form to a sect is a sect. Compared with a sect, the biggest difference is that all sects involve faith and idol worship, and some sects seem to exist. Some don¡¯t, and the organization needs to be more flexible. What stands out about sects is faith. The outstanding thing about the sect is the secret transmission. Both have their own merits.
Because it was his first time to meet people from these sects, Zhang Tie looked at the scenery and listened to their chat with curious ears. Those few people saw that Zhang Tie was the only one next to them, a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, so they did not Don't care, just keep talking to yourself.
The conversation among several people quickly shifted from "Fu Mei" and "Junior Brother Yu" to the itinerary and purpose of their trip.
"It's too expensive. It only costs fifteen silver coins for each person to take a sea cruise for a few hours. This is almost like robbing money. In other places. Even if you take a sea ship for a day and a night, it will not cost you five silver coins. !" One person said in pain.
"Junior Brother Feng, just be content. This is the first time for you, Junior Brother Yu and Junior Sister Fu to gather fighting spirit. I don't know the situation. If you want to be in other places in Jinyun Kingdom, you will spend ten times more. Money may not give you the opportunity to enter the underground world. Of the five entrances to the underground world that have been discovered in Jinyun State, except for the one on Qianlong Island that allows you to enter for free, the other three are all owned by Jinyun State. Several big families built a city and surrounded it, treating it as a forbidden area. Every entry was worth at least five gold coins. There was also an entrance to the underground world in the Yangui Mountains. That entrance was more than a thousand kilometers away from the nearest Yangui City. You can enter freely, but except for a few strong people, basically no one goes."
"Senior Brother An, so Huaiyuantang has done a good deed?" This was the voice of Junior Brother Feng.
"Hehe, the Zhang family of Huaiyuantang is as rich as any country. They own eight cities and enjoy the benefits of being close to the sea. Just the money that Yiyang City of Huaiyuantang gets from the trade between the East and the West every year can't be compared to the entrance to this underground world if it leaks even a little bit. It would be a hundred times more to collect money by surrounding it. This Qianlong Island is far away overseas. Instead of building a city and garrisoning troops here for such a small profit, it is better to let everyone in and gain a good reputation, and the people who come here If there are more, there will be more useful things and materials that everyone can get from hunting various monsters in the underground world. Because it is inconvenient to take them away on the island, most people will choose to trade on the spot and be responsible for dealing with them here. What we are trading is the Changfeng Merchant Group under Huaiyuantang. There are many things being traded, so the profits will naturally be huge!" Senior Brother An explained.
"This is such a good plan!" Junior Brother Yu sighed with emotion.
"Isn't it just luck that a big family like Huaiyuantang can reach its current scale? With their methods, this matter must be done flawlessly, so that it can not only be praised but also be beneficial." This is the voice of Senior Sister Fang. .
"Senior Sister Fang, I heard that the monsters in the underground world are very ferocious and huge. The lowest black spider is as big as an ox"
"Don't worry, Sister Fu. Although the black spider is vicious, Senior Brother An and I can't help you."We have already experienced it once before, and if we come here this time, it will be no problem to deal with those black spiders. With us raiding the formation for the three of you, the three of you will be able to gather the wind-breaking fighting spirit without any danger. After all three of you have advanced to the sixth level, you, Senior Brother An, and I will advance to the seventh level. As you watch from the side, you can also accumulate some experience for the next time you come to advance to the seventh level! "
Hearing this, Zhang Tie was about to turn around and leave the deck, and the outline of a large island had appeared in the distance. Watching the passenger ship sailing straight towards the big island, Zhang Tie knew that the island was Qianlong after counting the time. Island.
Just after leaving the deck, Zhang Tie heard the sound of water rushing under the boat on the other side of the deck. Zhang Tie only felt that the sound of water was different. Before he could turn around, he heard an exclamation from behind him, and an energetic " "Bang, bang, bang, bang," there were several sounds of fighting, followed by several roars and groans.
Zhang Tie turned around and saw that there was one more person on the original deck.
A man wearing a tight-fitting swimsuit with water dripping from his body and disheveled hair stood in the middle of the deck. The man's fierce eyes stared at the surroundings warily, and one of his strange claws was tightly clasped on the man just now. The position of "Fu Mei"'s throat. "Fu Mei" had a painful expression on her face, and she had lost the ability to resist under the man's hand. The few people who were with "Fu Mei" just now have fallen far away. Junior Brother Yu and Junior Brother Feng are struggling to get up from the ground. Senior Brother An and Senior Sister Fang are standing a few steps behind with ugly expressions. Senior Sister Fang's hands are Trembling and pale, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of Senior Brother An's mouth. Both of them were injured in the moment of the fight.
Behind the man, fighting spirit rolled. It looked like a big snake.
There was another sound of water splashing, and instantly there was a young man under twenty years old on the deck. The young man was naked, barefoot, and casually wearing only a pair of underpants. He was spinning a handful of water-splitting thorns in his hand, looking at the man helplessly. "Let her go. It's already come to this, why bother involving innocent people to increase your sins?"
"Fart!" The man who was holding Fu Mei screamed loudly. He looked at the young man and pulled the hostage towards him, carefully hiding his body under the hostage's body. Later, "Jump out of the boat yourself. Then turn the boat around and take me back to the shore!" the man was already yelling incoherently.
"You violated the laws of Huaiyuan County on Qianlong Island, killing people and stealing goods. Do you think you can still escape? Even if you can get ashore, do you think you can escape Huaiyuan County? Don't be naive" Playing with water thorns The young man's tone became more kind, "For the sake of me chasing you for three days and three nights, we can be considered friends. You give me face, and I will give you pleasure. You hurry up and reincarnate, and I will hurry up." Go and hand in the task, everyone will have nothing to do with each other from now on, what do you think?"
"Let your mother go" The man was about to curse, or wanted to say something. Unfortunately, a sharp sword had already come out of his throat. The man's eyes suddenly bulged forward, as if he wanted to look back. Who gave him a sword, but he failed to complete the action after all.
The fighting spirit totem on the man and the man's life collapsed instantly.
The man fell down, and Fu Mei, who had been being held hostage by this man, quickly ran away from the man with a look of shock on her face.
A handsome young man wearing white clothes and holding a long sword appeared behind the man. No one, including Zhang Tie, knew when this man appeared behind the man on the deck.
Looking at the man lying on the ground, the young man in white shook his head, "I really don't know how someone like you got to the eighth level. You have been hunted for three days and you don't even know how many people are chasing you. , and a thing like you actually has the courage to do business without capital on Qianlong Island. Your IQ is really" The young man holding the long sword flicked the long sword gracefully, and wiped away the blood drops on the long sword. Bounced off, then raised his head and looked at the sky with a 45-degree angle, "What a tragedy!"
As soon as the word ah was spoken, the young man in white jumped up from the deck and made a beautiful 720-degree spin in the air. During the spin, the sword was sheathed with a clatter, and then the whole person looked like a graceful petrel. , was thrown into the sea in a beautiful arc, and disappeared without even a splash of water.
"Why do you show off in front every time while I wipe your butt in the back?" Another young man, who was playing with the waterspun on his upper body, muttered twice and walked over with his lips curled up. He squatted down and looked at the corpse. He rummaged around, took out a bag from the corpse's arms, opened the bag in front of everyone, took out a small round red bead from the bag, looked at it, nodded, and put it away.
"When the boat reaches the shore, someone will come and deal with the body!" After saying this, the young man played with the water thorns.He also jumped off the deck and jumped into the sea.
At this moment, a large number of passengers had gathered around the deck to watch the excitement. Nine out of ten people who could come to Qianlong Island by boat were warriors. They were all accustomed to fighting and killing, so when they discovered When something unexpected happened on the deck, many people who had gathered in the cabin ran out to watch the fun without fear.
This excitement is really exciting.
"Why does this dead guy look familiar?" someone said among the spectators.
"This person is Deng Tong, the water-walking sea monster, a pirate leader who is wanted by Qi Lan Kingdom. I didn't expect that this day would happen!" There were hundreds of passengers on the passenger ship, coming from all over the world. Only one person here felt like looking at the man on the ground. The man looks familiar, and someone here has already recognized his identity.
"I heard that Deng Tong is proficient in water properties and has secret knowledge. He is said to be able to enter the sea for seven days without drowning. In the past, this person relied on his ability to escape from being hunted and killed by others in Qilan Kingdom several times, and even Twice he turned defeat into victory in the water and killed his pursuers. Unexpectedly, this time the boat capsized on Qianlong Island, and he was chased from the water and jumped onto the boat. In the end, he still couldn't escape, alas ¡¡±
"If this person hadn't changed his gangster nature and committed murder and swindling on Qianlong Island, how could he have ended up like this? I heard that Deng Tong had only reached level seven. I guess he came to Qianlong Island to advance this time. , I didn¡¯t expect to die after being promoted!¡±
"Who are the two young men who just chased Deng Tong?"
"Those two young men must be from the Qianlong Hall of the Zhang family. Qianlong Island is the training ground for the elite Zhang family of Huaiyuantang. I heard that those who can come here to practice are those who have awakened the blood of their ancestors"
The onlookers dispersed after sighing. However, after many people saw the corpse on the deck, they couldn't help but secretly warned themselves in their hearts, don't rely on your skills on Qianlong Island. Did something illegal happen?
¡¡
"Mei Fu, are you okay?" Junior Brother Yu looked at his sister Fu nervously. After saying the same thing several times, his sister seemed to react.
"AhI'm fine!"
"It's okay, I was really anxious just now!" Junior Brother Yu smiled as if he breathed a sigh of relief, completely unaware that his sister Fu was already a little distracted at the moment.
Only Senior Sister Fang sighed quietly in her heart after seeing the face and expression of the younger Junior Sister. The two young men just now were both free and uninhibited and had their own styles, especially the young man in white who saved the younger Junior Sister. After arriving at that person, the little junior sister never took her eyes away from that person. What was that person's last words? Junior Brother Yu, alas, what a tragedy!
¡¡
"Qianlongtang" After Zhang Tie recited the name twice in a low voice, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. After taking one last look at the three men and two women on the deck and the body of the water-walking sea monster, he also followed Everyone returned to the cabin of the ship.
¡¡
Twenty minutes later, the figure of Qianlong Island spread across the sea became larger and larger.
Qianlong Island is 190 kilometers offshore and covers an area of ??340 square kilometers. The island is densely covered with jungle and surrounded by mountains. It is a large island in the waters under the jurisdiction of Huaiyuan County.
On the same island as Qianlongtang is the "Island Dragon Cave" known as one of the five entrances to the underground world of Jinyun Kingdom (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
