Chapter 197
Suddenly, three fishing boats appeared in sight.
On the boat, dozens of dark-skinned ocean hunters were watching the fleet led by Xiao Zhan warily.
Especially the overwhelming murderous intent exuded by the members of the Temple of War made these ocean hunters feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
In fact, these hunters who make a living by catching sea beasts often encounter disciples from large sects.
The sea beasts they capture are often snatched away.
Even those disciples from major sects would most likely knock them into the sea for fun, without any regard for their lives.
Xiao Zhan frowned, ordered the fleet to stop again, and then said to the people on the fishing boats:
"You go, I won't hurt you."
But the people on the three fishing boats looked at Xiao Zhan nervously, with no intention of leaving.
Xiao Zhan frowned.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhan's eyes glanced at the three fishing boats distributed in a triangle. A large net was fixed in the middle of the three fishing boats. There seemed to be something huge struggling in the water.
Xiao Zhan immediately understood that he had captured his prey.
Xiao Zhan waved his hand, and the fleet immediately sailed sideways.
The people on the fishing boat also breathed a sigh of relief.
But suddenly, dozens of large ships surrounded him from all directions.
Xiao Fei, who was hovering high in the sky, immediately sounded the alarm.
Xiao Zhan's eyes sharpened and he immediately ordered:
"Ready to fight!"
Ten thousand members of the War Temple drew their swords one after another.
Soon, dozens of large ships were approaching, surrounding the fleet led by Xiao Zhan and the three fishing boats.
The total number of people on these dozens of large ships was more than 20,000, and each of them had a ferocious look, and the aura on their bodies was violent and bloody.
The people on the three fishing boats were trembling with fear.
Xiao Zhan looked at the black flags hanging on the masts of the dozen or so large ships.
There are swords and skulls painted on the flag, as well as three large characters:
"Golden Sword Gate."
Xiao Zhan looked at the leader of the big ship directly ahead.
The man was tall and tall, with his upper body naked, revealing dark skin and scars all over his body. His square face was full of roughness and violence.
In his hand, he held a golden sword nearly two meters long.
The man holding the golden sword glanced at Xiao Zhan and suddenly laughed ferociously:
"Okay, you actually dare to steal something from our Golden Blade Sect. Which force are you from?"
Xiao Zhan looked at this man expressionlessly and said slowly:
"Make way, let's go."
"Are you scared?" Li Sihai laughed loudly, "It seems that the name of our Golden Blade Sect is still very resounding."
"What a pity, boy," Li Sihai glanced at the fleet led by Xiao Zhan and swept his eyes across all the members of the Temple of War. "These people you have are not bad. Although their strength is a bit low, I don't mind either."
"With more than 10,000 people, the strength of our Golden Blade Sect will increase again!"
"There are also these hundred sea-crossing ships!" Li Sihai's eyes were full of greed, "Each one can sell at least 200,000 true essence stones. Make a fortune, make a fortune!"
Xiao Zhan frowned slightly:
"I don't care who you are, I've never heard of the Golden Sword Sect."
"I say it one last time, give way or die."
Hearing that Xiao Zhan actually dared to threaten him, Li Sihai laughed angrily, "Brothers, did you hear that? He actually said he wanted us to die?"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
There were more than 20,000 people in the Golden Sword Sect, raising their swords crazily and roaring excitedly.
The next moment, dozens of large ships in the Golden Blade Gate were equipped with giant crossbows. Each crossbow arrow was more than ten meters long and thicker than an arm.
Xiao Zhan frowned and said slowly:
"Do it."
The next moment, the members of the Temple of War immediately took their places.
Li Sihai continued to threaten Xiao Zhan, saying that if Xiao Zhan and others did not surrender, Xiao Zhan and his 10,000 men would have their ships destroyed and people killed.
Li Sihai suddenly became confused when he saw members of the Temple of War bringing out cylinders the size of an arm and two meters long.
The next moment, hundreds of flames, dragging their long tails, arrived in front of dozens of large ships at the Golden Knife Gate in the blink of an eye.
Li Sihai was stunned for a moment, and his expression changed drastically the next moment.
"Boom!"
Dozens of large ships were instantly torn apart.
Most of the more than 20,000 people from Jindaomen were killed or injured in an instant, and most of the rest fell into the sea and began to struggle.
But in the big net dragged by the three fishing boats, the huge prey suddenly stirred up huge waves.
The sea water suddenly turned blood red, and the people who fell into the sea screamed.
There were also hundreds of more powerful people who actually came through the air and wanted to board the sea-crossing ship of the Temple of War.
Xiao Zhan had no intention of stopping him.
The next moment, the members of the Temple of War lying on the roof of the ferry raised their sniper rifles.
The sniper rifle was more than two meters long, and the barrel was as thick as a wrist. The bullets fired instantly hit these hundreds of people.
Seeing these hundreds of people still in the air, their bodies exploded into a ball of blood mist.
You know, these sniper rifles are all newly developed by the Yanlong Kingdom Equipment Research Institute.
The bullets are also special True Essence Stone bullets. By pulling the trigger, the firing pin strikes the bullet, stimulating the True Essence Stone energy inside.
In the blink of an eye, the sea surface turned completely blood red.
The only one who blocked the sniper bullet was Li Sihai, who flew backwards in mid-air.
Li Sihai's expression changed drastically. Just when he was about to ask for mercy, he saw a cannonball being fired towards him.
Li Sihai: Die!
At this time, the three fishing boats were being dragged unsteadily by the prey in the nets, and were about to capsize.
With a look from Xiao Zhan, the members of the Temple of War next to him immediately raised the rocket launcher in their hands and aimed it at the net pocket.
A special True Essence Stone shell was shot into the sea, causing huge waves the next moment.
A dark beast with scales and spikes on its body emerged from the water.
This ferocious beast resembles a giant sea urchin, but it has sharp claws and sharp teeth.
Another cannonball was fired, and the beast was immediately bloody and bloody.
The hunters on the three fishing boats were so frightened that they huddled on the fishing boats and looked at Xiao Zhan with fear on their faces:
"Sir...Sir, this Black Gold Sea Hedgehog is given to you!"
"Please don't hurt us, sir."
Xiao Zhan frowned, "What's the value of this Black Gold Sea Hedgehog?"
A gray-haired hunter raised his hands to Xiao Zhan and said in a trembling voice:
"Sir, the Black Gold Sea hedgehog lives on the bottom of the sea and rarely goes to shallow waters, so it is extremely difficult to catch."
"But every spike on its body is extremely hard and is an excellent material for refining weapons. If sold to Wanbao Tower, each spike can be sold for one True Essence Stone."
Xiao Zhan glanced at the body of the Black Gold Sea hedgehog. There were at least 10,000 to 20,000 spikes on it, which equaled 10,000 to 20,000 true essence stones.
No wonder the Golden Blade Sect sent out more than 20,000 people to rob it.
Seeing that Xiao Zhan remained silent, everyone on the fishing boat knelt down and begged for mercy:
"Sir, please let us go!"
"Yes, sir, my wife just gave birth to a baby, please spare us!"
Xiao Zhan raised his eyebrows, "You didn't catch this Black Gold Sea hedgehog, right?"
The oldest hunter nodded quickly, "We discovered it, but the news was leaked."
"When we went back, prepared the tools, and rushed to that sea area, the Black Gold Sea hedgehog had already been caught by the Golden Knife Gate."
"Then...then we took advantage of the storm and dragged away the Black Gold Sea hedgehog with a big net."
Xiao Zhan also laughed: "You are really brave. So, at first, you thought we were members of the Golden Sword Sect?"
The old man nodded, sighed and said:
"Sir, if we weren't forced by life, how could we take such a big risk?"
Xiao Zhan thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at the old man and said:
"I don't want this Black Gold Sea Hedgehog, but it belongs to you."
The old man's face was full of astonishment, and then he expressed his gratitude to Xiao Zhan in surprise.
Xiao Zhan smiled and said:
"Uncle, do you know where the headquarters of Jindaomen is?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I know that their station is in a bay about three thousand miles away from here."
"The terrain there is dangerous, with cliffs on three sides and the sea on one side. If you want to attack the Golden Sword Gate, I'm afraid it won't be easy."
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "Uncle, if you take us there, I can give you some extra True Essence Stones."
"No need for the True Essence Stone!" This old man was also alive and well. He knew that it was thanks to the fleet in front of him that he could save his life today.
The old man quickly looked at the other two fishing boats, "You drag the Black Gold Sea Hedgehog to the boat first, then go back to the village and wait for me."
With that said, the old man asked someone to launch the fishing boat and sail towards the Golden Knife Gate station with Xiao Zhan's fleet in front.
Yes, Xiao Zhan temporarily changed his mind.
He did not want these members of the Temple of War to be scattered throughout Qingzhou.
They need a place, and after they get used to and become familiar with Qingzhou, it is not too late to travel to other places in Qingzhou.
And if there is a station in Qingzhou, once the members of the War Temple encounter difficulties, they can also get support.
Before sending people to Qingzhou in the future, it would be better to have a place to stay and a buffer.
The fishing boats are very slow.
When the sky darkened, the old man pointed to the unreal bay in the distance and said:
"Sir, that is where the Golden Knife Sect is located."
Xiao Zhan nodded and gave the old man a hundred True Essence Stones, signaling the old man to leave first.
The old man thanked him quickly and left in his fishing boat.
Xiao Zhan took the telescope handed over by the members of the Temple of War and saw the bay ten miles away at a glance.
Indeed, as the old man said, this bay is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The coast suddenly sag inward here, forming a U-shaped bay, about a hundred meters wide and more than a thousand meters deep.
There are cliffs on three sides, more than a thousand meters high and almost straight.
Not only that, there is a huge cave in the innermost part, about a hundred meters away from the water.
"Good place," Xiao Zhan nodded with satisfaction, and through the telescope, he saw hundreds of people staying at the Golden Knife Gate.
Xiao Zhan immediately ordered the fleet to approach.
When the fleet approached a kilometer range, it was discovered by the hundreds of people staying behind at the Golden Knife Gate.
But their strength was only in the Qi Gathering realm. Xiao Fei flapped his wings and the strong wind blew them all away and fell into the sea.
Xiao Zhan showed no mercy to these people who were called sects but were actually pirates.
Afterwards, Xiao Zhan asked his ten thousand men to immediately investigate the surrounding situation.
An hour later, all ten thousand people returned.
After inspection, I found that this cliff is backed by a 10,000-meter peak. It is extremely steep and there is no way to go up.
Xiao Zhan was even more satisfied, looked at the crowd and said:
"This will be our first station in Qingzhou from now on!"
"My first order is to make this place an unbreakable fortress!"
"First, open a passage from inside the mountain and set up thousands of observation holes, mortars and sniper positions on the mountain."
"Secondly, expand the cave to ensure that all sea-crossing ships are not exposed."
"Also," Xiao Zhan looked stern, "all weapons and equipment are not allowed to be used except as a last resort. If they cannot be saved, they must not fall into the hands of the enemy!"
"After you get familiar with this place, you can try to go to other places in Qingzhou."
With that said, Xiao Zhan glanced at the boxes of true essence stones that were moved into the cave, and said in a deep voice:
"The true vitality here is strong, you must improve your strength as soon as possible."
"If you go to other places, you must keep a low profile and don't reveal your identity!"
"In addition," Xiao Zhan raised his right hand and pointed to the individual soldier bracelet on his wrist:
"When Yanlong City breaks through the signal connection problem, the bracelets will automatically connect to the Internet. By then, everyone wearing the bracelets will be able to communicate and share. I suggest you not leave here until the bracelets are connected to the Internet."
The members of the Ten Thousand War Temple looked solemn and listened carefully to Xiao Zhan's words, not daring to be careless.
Xiao Zhan also explained all the details that needed attention.
Finally, Xiao Zhan said:
"You are the first batch, and I only have two requirements for you!"
"First: stay alive!"
"Second: Find the way for those who come after you!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Zhan growled:
"In the Temple of War, we live and die together, and we are invincible!"
This slogan that the members of the Temple of War shouted countless times was shouted out again.
Ten thousand members of the Temple of War roared in unison:
"In the Temple of War, we live and die together, and we are invincible!"
Xiao Zhan nodded, "From now on, you will stay in Qingzhou as the Golden Blade Sect."
"In addition," Xiao Zhan looked at a member who had entered the Qi Sea Realm, "Du Fei, I leave the brothers to you!"
Du Fei clenched his right fist and punched himself in the heart.
At this moment, he felt tremendous pressure, but he would never let Xiao Zhan down.
"Okay," Xiao Zhan nodded, "I'm going to do something. I'll take a look again when I return to Huangzhou."
After saying that, Xiao Zhan left here.
