Chapter 457 The Legend of the Devil
A moment later, a group of six people came to the highest peak on the island. The place covered by darkness happens to be the top of the mountain peak, which is very wide and has a distance of a hundred feet horizontally and vertically. The darkness is three points darker than ink, and you can't see what's going on inside. A stream of water mist came out of it and enveloped the whole island.
Hundreds of birds rushed to the edge of the six people standing on the edge of the dark and did not dare to rush in. After standing for a while, Bai Niao rushed to pick up a large stone weighing two or three hundred pounds and suddenly threw it into the depths of darkness. The stone roared into the darkness, but there was only the sound of breaking the air outside the dark area. As soon as it flew into the darkness, there was no sound. After waiting for a moment, there was no sound of stones falling to the ground.
"I'll go in and have a look!" Nancy couldn't stand. Did the darkness embarrass everyone? She didn't think so, at least she was not afraid at all.
"Don't be reckless!" Hundreds of birds rushed to hold the impulsive Nancy. In this darkness, even he, the ghost king, can't see the situation inside clearly. Hu Meier's demon fox can't go back, and the stones he throws can't go back. How can he enter rashly before he can figure out the situation?
"So... what should we do? Is it just like this? The darkness is dissipated by the sun, and so are these water mist. The sun dissipates a little, and it is constantly replenished here. Nancy said. It's rare for her head to see the problems above this level.
Hundred birds thought for a moment and said, "Let's throw stones into the darkness together. If there is any dark spirit beast hidden in it, we will definitely anger it by doing this, and then it will come out."
"What if there is still no response?" Lan Qingyi said.
Bai Niao Chong said, "Then let's go back. After our fleet is out of influence of the Taiming Dynasty, we will explore it again."
The women agreed with Bai Niao Chong's opinion, and then they found weighty stones from everywhere with him, and then threw them into the darkness with their greatest strength.
Pieces of stones are thrown in. In terms of the ability of several people, each stone is thrown in with the greatest force, and even the city wall will collapse, but no matter how many stones are thrown in, there is still no reaction in the darkness. It seems that this dark life is a bottomless hole. Even if the sea water of the whole Guanghai is injected into it, it can't be filled. And it is still and ordinary, and there is no strong dark energy released at all.
In the depression, the hundred birds rushed a ghost fist ice knife tornado to the dark area. The strong suction formed by the ice knife tornado pulled back the fog around and suddenly rolled up the rocks on the ground, but when it flew into the dark area, it was like a mud cow into the sea, and even the sound of the wind did not come out.
Hundreds of stones were thrown in, and there was no sound. Even the ice knife tornado rushed into the sea, so it could not go in without knowing it.
"Let's go back and explore it next time." Bai Niao Chong made a decisive decision.
What's the mystery in the dark? This is a very powerful thing, but now there is not enough time for hundreds of birds to explore. However, he said he would leave as soon as he said, and he didn't have any regret and reluctance. The resistance to ** is indeed unmatched by ordinary people.
Meng Zhi once again controlled the Buddha's flight, carrying everyone away from the island and flying in the direction of Taishui City. Hundreds of birds rushed to the chart to mark the location of the island and drew the most convenient route. Although I failed to explore the secrets of the dark area this time, I also gained a lot. On the one, the right island has been found, and on the other, the mysterious dark area has been released.
Wherever a vision appears, there are unusual things. To be sure, the secret hidden in the darkness must be unusual. Not necessarily, this is another rare adventure.
It's time to walk and stop and look for the island. The speed is not very fast. When returning this time, Mengzhi exerted the flight speed of the Buddha's flying scroll to the extreme, and returned to Taishui City in less than half a day. At this time, Tang Ben also finished talking about buying a boat and returned to the camp in the port.
It cost a huge amount of money to buy a boat, but for the Tang family with a thousand years of history, the money is nothing.
Longhuo taught the ship at the port and proposed that the birds set sail again on a later date. Bai Niao Chong rejected the proposal and decided to let all the personnel board the ship immediately and then set sail. A team of more than 100,000 people boarded warships and cargo ships. The wharf also loaded the goods purchased by hundreds of birds into the warehouse, and the whole port was busy.
It took several hours for all the personnel to board the ship and load all the goods into the warehouse. It was already dusk when the six people returned to the port. By the time the fleet set sail, it was already in the sky, and it was midnight.
The whole fleet, 100 warships and 50 cargo ships. There are not many people who can sail in the team of Bainiao Chong. The sailors are all sailors hired from Taishui City, and they are the sailors. Of course, this is also a huge expense. Tang Ben pays those skilled sailors ten times higher than usual. Otherwise, even if he buys a boat, it is impossible to sail such a large fleet to the destination with the hands of hundreds of birds alone.
The fleet slowly left the port, with lanterns hanging on each mast and standing as a flag bearer. The scene was extremely spectacular. The fleet left the port, and more than half of the ships in the port of Taishui City suddenly lost.
On the flagship, Bai Niao Chong handed over the chart to a hired captain and asked him to sail to the island. The captain took the chart and went down. Bainiao Chong also told the three ghost kings, Tang Ben, Yan Beiliu and Wu Xiaofeng about the discovery of the mysterious island. The three ghost kings were also surprised and couldn't figure out what was going on in the dark area above the island.
"Master, I have something to tell you." Yan Beiliu said, "While the Tang Ghost King was talking to him about buying a boat, Long Huo sent a messenger to Kyoto City behind his back. Obviously, he reported our movements to Long Xiaotian. However, he sent 18 messengers, all of whom were killed by my people.
Bai Niaochong said, "Just kill it. This will buy us more time. However, Long Xiaotian will soon know our movements. In fact, without the task given to me by Fan Yi, I'm afraid he can't help but take action against us in person. Three months later, whether I grab the ghost fetal treasure or not, we will show a dilemma. It's over, the sea and the sky.
If you can't get through, it's doomed, but Bai Niao Chong didn't say this. He doesn't want to explain too much about the details of the task of robbing ghost tires. In that case, not only will there be no help, but will worry the three ghost kings on his side.
While talking, the captain who went down with the chart suddenly came back and said strangely, "Son... Are you sure you're going to this island?"
From his nervous look and tone, Bai Niao Chong had guessed something and casually asked, "What, do any of you know about this island?"
The captain said, "I don't know the details of this island, but an old sailor under me knows something. He said..."
"What did he say?" Hundreds of birds rushed to the road.
"He said that this island is Devil's Island. If it goes up, no one can come back." The captain said.
Hundred birds laughed and said, "It's ridiculous. We went to that island first and then came back. What Alcatraz? Can't you come back if you go there? Those are just some scary legends. You call the old sailor, and I'll ask him in person.
The captain answered and went down, and soon brought an old sailor with a gray hair. The old sailor was thin and tall, with only one eye left, and one blind eye covered with black cloth. It smells like an old pirate.
"The villain has met all the owners." The old sailor saluted politely.
Bai Niao Chong said, "Don't be polite. Tell us everything you know about that island."
The old sailor said slowly, "The pirate is called Alcatraz Island. The nearby waters are the nest of huge sea beasts, and no ship can pass through there. Even the largest warship of the navy of the Taiming Dynasty could not be spared the ships that broke into the sea. That island... It is said to be a devil's territory, on which there is a darkness that can't be dispelled by the sun, shrouded in water fog all year round... And in the depths of the darkness, there is the temple of the devil, in which lives the man-eating devil..."
The old sailor's statement made Bainiao Chong suddenly understand something. It turned out that it was true that no one could come back when he went in. He and Mengzhi were involved in the Buddhist flight before, and they did not pass through the nest of the huge water beast at all, so naturally there was no danger. And the old sailor also knows the dark areas of the island, so his statement about the devil seems to be a little credible. However, he was on the island at that time, so why didn't the devil appear?
"To tell the truth to several owners, I used to be a pirate. When I was still young, it seemed that I followed our regimental commander into the dangerous sea. As a result, a thousand of us came back alive, and one of my eyes was left there." The old sailor looked a little painful, and he seemed to recall some scenes at that time.
"Six owners, you already know this situation..." The captain said, "I think we can change places? That island is very dangerous. We are afraid that we won't spend our lives if we make money.
"Presumptuous!" Bai Niao said in a low voice, "You have known what we are from for a long time. We gave you ten times the commission. Can the place we are going change because you are afraid?
Tang Ben also showed an angry face, "My sweeping slave of the Tang family is more expensive than yours, not to mention my Tang family's family on these ships?" We are not afraid of death. What are you afraid of? I'll give you another ten-fold commission to suppress this news and not tell anyone. Otherwise, you will die now.
"I know, the villain knows." A cold sweat had already appeared on the captain's forehead. Indeed, when he thinks about it, what is he worried about? The family members of the Tang family, who are extremely rich, are all in the fleet. They are not afraid of death. He is a poor man. Who is he afraid of death?
It's also true. If those water beasts can resist the fleet of hundreds of birds, it's a joke.
