Chapter 184, Dragon Pearl Island (1)
Qingshi drove the Xuanwei towards the hole in the island's barrier, and soon passed through the hole and entered the island. However, the hull of the ship tore the hole even wider.
Qingshi took out two pills and threw them to Xiang An and said, "Take them quickly to recover, lest you be hacked to death by pirate barbarians soon."
"Why are there two pills?" Xiang An asked.
"One is the antidote to the Qi-Spreading Pill," Qingshi said calmly, "The other is a poison that is delayed for seven days. This poison has no antidote and can only be resolved with my Five Elements True Qi."
"Are you really full of all five elements of Qi?" Xiang An asked in surprise.
"Otherwise?" Qingshi still said calmly, "Why do you think I can be immune to all poisons?"
"Yes!" Xiang An sighed, "My great-grandfather has long said that your Xuanmen may have a secret method that can make people have all the five elements of true energy. Emperor Jianxin and the present should have all the five elements of true energy. I didn't expect you to be the same. It's true." Xuanmen is the only one who loves luck in the world!" After saying this, he closed his eyes helplessly, frowned and swallowed the two pills.
Qingshi drove the Xuanwei in a circle around the volcano, hoping to find the airship. The island was not big, so he quickly circled around, but found no sign of the airship. Xiang An said: "Let's fly into the crater. Maybe the airship has already flown in."
"Maybe they have a magic weapon to store the airship," Qingshi said.
"It is possible," Xiang An said, "but no matter what, they will eventually enter the crater, because that is the control center of the base. I guess Lao Duan and Xiao Shen are fighting with these natives inside."
Xiang An's estimate was correct. As soon as the spacecraft flew into the crater, Qingshi discovered that there was a circle of stone buildings built along the arc of the crater. The buildings surrounded a small circular square. On the black square volcanic stone ground, There was a group of people fighting inextricably.
On one side were the natives, about twenty or so, and there were five or six people lying on the ground. On the other side there were only two people, Duan Wutian and Shen Jiayun, who were wearing the leather armor of the imperial guards. They were parked on the airship where they had just escaped. On the southwest corner.
Qingshi collected the Xuanwei, activated his Xuanyuan Armor, grabbed Xiang An's arm, and led him to the ground. Looking close to the ground, Qingshi controlled the falling speed and slowly fell. Immediately, several natives came over with spears and machetes. Qingshi pushed Xiang An towards the natives, but he clenched his fist and rushed towards Duan Wutian. and Shen Jiayun's encirclement.
These natives who dared to enter the island were very fierce, and their martial arts cultivation levels were not too low. Nearly half of them were in the Yuan Dan realm, and five of them were at the upper level of the Yuan Dan realm. These five people were the ones who besieged Duan Wu. The main force of Tianhe and Shen Jiayun.
Not only do they have high martial arts cultivation, but they also obviously work together for a long time. Their overall attack and defense are very reasonable and their coordination is skillful. In this way, the power of a group attack is far greater than that of a melee.
The appearance of Qingshi and Xiang An caused panic among the surrounding natives, and the five people who besieged Duan Wutian and Shen Jiayun intensified their offensive. Qingshi shouted: "Stop!"
In response to him, a big knife and two spears came towards the three of them. Qingshi didn't want to hurt any more people, so he didn't use the sword. He rushed towards the three of them in a flash, raised his fist and hit it. There was a faint blue on the fist. The arc of color flashed and there was a slight crackling sound, it was the Thunder God Fist.
Within ten moves, the three of them were knocked away by bluestone fists one after another. They collapsed on the ground with limbs paralyzed and foaming at the mouth. No one retreated and fled. The brave natives who were not afraid of death shouted loudly and rushed towards them with swords in their hands.
Qingshi activated his Three Ultimate Steps of Gale Wind and moved around in the crowd, knocking down all the people around him in a short while. The five natives who were besieging Duan Shen and the two men over there were obviously shocked, and their offensive slowed down.
Qingshi understood that there was no reason to talk to these barbarians, and he could only rely on force. After defeating the surrounding people, he rushed directly to the battle circle surrounding Duan Shen and the two men, and punched one of them.
Seeing Qingshi's fierce attack, the man turned around and roared, swinging his knife and slashing. Unexpectedly, Qingshi's feet were very fast. As soon as the man's knife was raised to his head, before it could be cut off, Qingshi's fist had already hit his chest, and the man's whole body shimmered. Catching an electric arc, he flew out and crashed into another native. The native quickly dropped his weapon and reached out to hug the stranger. The two bodies connected. The latter was hit by the remaining electricity from the former, and was numb all over, and fell backwards. After five or six steps, they both collapsed to the ground.
The five men besieged Duan and Shen. They already had the upper hand. Both Duan Wutian and Shen Jiayun were seriously injured. They had already seen Qingshi Xiang An coming, but they were too tired to fight and did not even have a chance to speak.
At this time, Qingshi knocked down the two of them with one punch. Duan Wutian's pressure suddenly decreased. He felt happy and roared. He used the sun gun in his hand to swing the dragon's tail, sending a native flying two feet away.
The man was in the air, blood spurting from his mouth, and he was probably dead. Duan Wutian's martial arts cultivation was originally much stronger than these natives, but he was besieged by them with their cooperation and had to take care of Shen Jiayun all the time. He was unable to use his force. Now that he had the opportunity to kill a powerful enemy with one shot, he felt depressed. Sweeping it all away, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The remaining two people were the two powerful characters who had just escaped in the airship. They had already seen the power of Qingshi, so they all stopped and jumped away, and the fight was finally over.
Shen Jiayun shouted excitedly: "Brother Qingshi! It's great that you came to save us..."
Duan Wutian glared at Xiang An and roared angrily: "Xiang An, you bastard, take a punch from me!" As he said that, he rushed over and punched him.
Xiang An had already dealt with the three natives, and when he saw Duan Wutian charging towards him, he didn't dare to fight back, so he just spread out his body to evade and run away.
Qingshi could only shout loudly: "Brother Qi, stop it!"
When Xiang An saw Qingshi speaking, he quickly ran over and hid behind Qingshi and said, "Brother Duan has something to say, don't do anything yet!" Suddenly he felt Qingshi grab his arm and give it a gentle squeeze, and his whole body went numb and froze. At this moment, Duan Wutian rushed over and punched Xiang An in the nose. He let out a scream, raised his head and took two steps back, covering his face and squatting down.
Duan Wutian was stunned. In terms of combat power, Xiang An was much stronger than Duan Wutian. Even if his true energy was only half restored, he would never be hit by one hit. Duan Wutian didn't expect that he would punch him so easily.
Qingshi reached out and held Duan Wutian's shoulders and smiled: "Okay, Brother Qi, you see that Brother Xiang feels guilty for punching you, so let's put it aside for the time being!"
Xiang An lowered his head and pressed his bloody nose and smiled bitterly: "That's right, this punch is my apology to Brother Duan. Alas! It broke again..."
Duan Wutian could only snort at Xiang An and stop taking action. He turned to Qingshi and reached out to pat his shoulder and said with a smile: "Good brother! Okay!"
After not seeing each other for many years, Duan Wutian still looks the same, but Shen Jiayun has matured a lot, and you can vaguely see Shen Feiyun's former demeanor between his brows.
Qingshi was really happy to see his old friends, but at this time he didn't care about reminiscing about the past. He only nodded to the two of them, turned to the only two natives standing and said, "Who are you? Why are you attacking?" us?"
One of these two people was a middle-aged man, and the other was a thin old man. The old man said bitterly: "You evil demons from the mainland deserve to be killed!" Although his accent was very different from that of the mainland, it was still basically the same. Everybody can understand.
"Everything has a cause and effect," Qingshi said, "You have to have a reason to kill people, right?"
"That's right!" Duan Wutian shouted, "You barbarians, you cut us down as soon as you saw us with knives. No matter how you explain it, you didn't stop. You chased us all the way from the beach to here. You've been chasing us for almost a day. Damn it!" What’s the point?”
Xiang An interjected: "Why bother talking nonsense with these barbarians? They just found out about my rich island and wanted to take it. I just don't know how they found out. Old man, tell me, how did you find out about my rich island?" From the island?”
"Your island?" the old man roared angrily, "You demons have stolen our Dragon Pearl Island for thousands of years. Now that God has given it back, don't you give up and try to take it away again? ?" The other natives also looked indignant.
"Your Dragon Pearl Island?" Qingshi asked doubtfully, "Can you explain clearly what is going on?"
"You evil demons," the old man said, "I admit that I can't defeat you. If you want to kill you, just kill them! Our king will definitely come to kill you and take back our treasure island."
"Hmph!" Qingshi snorted softly and said, "Do you think I don't dare to kill you? There are so many people outside who have been killed, and I don't care if there are a few more of you. It's just that you keep saying that we are evil spirits without any reason. In our case It seems that you want to kill us indiscriminately. What is the difference between you and evil spirits? You said that we are evil spirits, but I also think that you are evil spirits! There may be some misunderstandings. I will give you a chance to explain things clearly. The whole story, if you are not willing to cooperate and seek death, it will be easy."
"Come on!" the big man roared angrily, "Come and kill me. Didn't you kill enough outside just now? Now you are being hypocritical again..."
"It turns out you were the ones who fired first!" Qingshi interrupted him and said, "If you want to die too, I will help you!"
"Wait!" an old man lying on the ground shouted, and then slowly stood up, "This future hero is not dressed as a demon. I didn't see him outside just now, but he just knocked down more than a dozen of us. But no one was killed. Maybe there was some misunderstanding. Please don’t rush and fight, let me say a few words."
This old man was the leader of the group that initially chased Duan Wutian and Shen Jiayun, and his status was higher than those who came in by airship later, so the natives stopped shouting to see how he would deal with it.
Qingshi said to the old man: "Senior, why do you say this Rich Island is your Dragon Pearl Island, and why do you say we are evil spirits?"
The old man looked Qingshi and Xiang An up and down, then said in a calm tone: "You two came in from outside just now, right? You don't look like a demon dressed up. Well, I'll tell you, after all, it's been thousands of years. Maybe you really don’t know the whole story.”
"We really don't know!" Qingshi said, "Please tell me."
"Okay!" the old man said slowly, "This island is called Longzhu Island. Our tribe has owned it for thousands of years. It is our holy island. About a thousand years ago, a group of evil spirits from the mainland came there somehow. Here, we occupied the Holy Island. Our ancestors fought with them many times in order to defend the Holy Island, and each time we ended in a disastrous defeat. Later, the patriarch gathered the last group of warriors and vowed to take back the Holy Island, but the result was again After arriving here, I found that the Holy Island had been moved away by the devil using magic.
"They not only stole the Holy Island, but also set up magic here and released devil sharks in the sea. From then on, whenever our people get close to this area, their boats will be inexplicably destroyed and people will be killed. And then there will be no more People dare to come.”
"At that time, the chief priest of the clan said that there was blue lightning in the sky here, which was designed to sink airships and ships, and there were ghost sharks in the sea that ate people. This was no longer a holy place. So the clan members were forbidden to come to this area of the sea again. However, the great elder once predicted that the Holy Island will return to its original position on its own in a thousand years."
"A few nights ago, some tribesmen dared to fly at night and deviated from the route and drifted near here. They found that our holy island actually appeared, but it was wrapped in a magic bag, glowing slightly and appearing and disappearing."
"Those tribesmen returned to the tribe and reported to the tribe leader and the great elder. The great elder said that the ancestor's prophecy had come true. Our holy island is back, but the evil demon is still casting spells to prevent it from returning. We must help it defeat it. Evil spirit, remove the magic pocket that envelops it.”
"So we came, and as soon as we arrived, we found that these two evil spirits were performing magic, trying to put the Holy Island completely into the magic bag and take it away, so we rushed over and fought them desperately, from the seaside to here. Then we came here. You just show up and that’s what happens.”
Qingshi understood something roughly and asked: "Has this island really been stolen for a thousand years?"
The old man replied: "It should be about eleven hundred years."
Qingshi asked: "Your clan leader and great elder have lived for more than a thousand years?"
"No," the old man said, "the current patriarch and great elder are only over 400 years old."
"That's it," Qingshi said, "You see, it's been more than a thousand years. Based on legends alone, you concluded that this island is your holy island, and you also said that they are evil spirits. Could it be that you are responsible for this? Wrong location?"
"Absolutely impossible!" the old man said angrily, "This matter is a major event for our clan, and it has been recorded in history books. This is our holy island, how could we get it wrong? The two of them are dressed in the same way as our ancestors. I can’t mistake the appearance of the devil in the album.”
After speaking, he took out a leather map and threw it to Qingshi, and then said: "This map has been circulated in our clan for more than two thousand years. Look at the location of Longzhu Island."
Qingshi took it and took a look. Although this chart was old, it was well-made and well-preserved. Qingshi could see the clearly marked locations of Tanlong Islands and Longzhu Island.
Qingshi took out Xiang An's map to compare the two, and found that the two maps were highly consistent. The Dragon Pearl Island was exactly in the circle drawn on Xiang An's map. Taking a closer look, Qingshi understood the origin of the names Tanlong Islands and Longzhu Island. It turned out that Tanlong Islands was originally an island chain composed of a series of islands, much like the shape of a giant dragon, and there was only one such island where Longzhu Island was located. A lonely island, the island is round in shape, but it really looks like a dragon ball spit out from the mouth of a giant dragon.
Qingshi turned to look at Duan Wutian and Shen Jiayun, and found that they were all wearing the official uniforms of the Ouchi guards. After contacting the old man's words and Xiang An's previous introduction to the island, Qingshi vaguely guessed the reason.
