Chapter 7 Octopus Pirates(1/3)
Mule carts entered one after another.
When everyone entered the cave, the sound of iron chains dragging came from behind. With a roar, the entrance of the cave slowly closed. The convoy seemed to be accustomed to such a strange scene. The cave was very quiet... Everyone stood there, and no one made any sound.
Only the sound of friction sounds in the darkness.
Torches stood up and spread forward, like a light snake.
The hole suddenly shone brightly. It was a vast tunnel, and it was very smooth and very dry.
Judging from the friction of the ground and the color of the surrounding soil, this hole has existed for quite a while.
The convoy was walking in this winding tunnel, with only the sound of footsteps and the sound of wheels turning echoing in the hole.
Not long after I left, a rumbling sound came from my ears, becoming louder and louder.
The sound actually came from above the cave. After a short while, the roaring and vibrating sound seemed to shake the cave down, and the entire ground was trembling.
It was the sound of water, and it was extremely panting.
A layer of light yellow light began to emerge around the cave. It was these yellow light that made the cave not fall in such a violent vibration, and the people in the convoy were completely used to this. In the midst of such vibration and roar, the convoy walked for about half an hour.
The sound of water finally gradually became smaller.
Later, he returned to quiet again and walked for another half an hour in the light of the torch.
The terrain began to rise.
Soon, the tunnel had reached its end.
Like the entrance, the iron chain drags, and the exit of the cave appears in front of people.
The dark outside the cave was extremely dark, which was the darkest time before dawn. The heavy rain did not stop, and the dark sky was full of extremely thick black clouds.
Outside the cave is a barren mountain, and the foot of the barren mountain is almost completely submerged by water.
Water flows crisscross and spread across the earth like spider webs.
The convoy walked on the rugged roads one step deep and one step shallow. Soon, a big river appeared in front of him.
Although the river water is breathing fast, it is not as terrible as the river just now.
The leader had already given the order, and the scout quickly flashed to the roadside.
The two scouts covered in mud ran very fast this time. The leader was very satisfied when he saw the skills of the two. It seemed that his kick was indeed effective, and the two were much more obedient.
The two scouts quickly flashed into the bushes on the roadside and ran to the mountain for hundreds of meters before slowing down.
One of them lifted the rain gauze and his mouth moved.
The other person also stopped and lifted up the rain veil. The two of them were actually Yang Zheng and Legolas.
They all looked a little surprised.
Here… it has obviously entered the borders of Wigolan County.
Just now... that tunnel must have been dug under the bed of the surging river. Only in this way can we explain how they passed through that terrible torrent.
In addition to being shocked, Yang Zheng calmed down and thought about the scenes along the way.
The two entrances and exits of the tunnel that he couldn't understand the most.
That supernatural power.
"Magic, that's magic." Legolas explained Yang Zheng's puzzle in a smooth tone.
"Oh? Legolas, you know that it is magic? What kind of magic is that, how could it move the woods away?"
The elf shook his head gently: "No, that didn't move it away, it's just visual rays. By changing the density of the air, the illusion created, this magic is not difficult. Ordinary warlocks can do it with some materials... However, the woods are very big, and it's not easy to use visual ray magic for such a large forest... Also, did you notice that when we pass through the tunnel, the layer of white light on the wall of the cave? The entire tunnel uses steel barricade, which is the simplest type of reinforcement technique, but to reinforce such a long tunnel, the materials and magic required are not simple."
Magic, warlock...
These not unfamiliar words once again made Yang Zheng feel powerful.
Always, the underdeveloped magic civilization in the Southern Continent has not attracted Yang Zheng's attention.
Although he once faced such a terrible opponent by the magician Sharafi, such people were a minority after all, otherwise Sharafi would not have been so famous in the Southern Continent.
Moreover, the power I saw that night had hit Yang Zheng almost lost his confidence in a short period of time.
Qinglian, Xiyue... and Scarlett.
Anyone who comes out can face an army with great peace.
Yang Zheng, who had seen such a high-end existence, once lost confidence in secular power.
But Yang Zheng is Yang Zheng after all.
Under the pressure of being strong that can make people collapse, he rebounded revengefully.
This is the most valuable point in his character, otherwise he would not have lived until now. After several days and nights of struggle, he knew that he could only endure it. Impulse is the privilege of ignorant young people. He has no right and cannot be impulsive.
Even to see the bloody figure falling in the wind again.
Even if there is one-tenth of hope, he is unwilling to give up...
Magic is still a new thing to Yang Zheng. Now, everything is unknown, and Yang Zheng dares not look down on it anymore.
Wei Rong Kingdom is in crisis everywhere.
If he can't even break through the secular world, what qualifications do he have to face people like Qinglian, Xiyue, etc.
Yang Zheng thought for a while and asked, "Legolas, if it were you, could this be done?"
Legolas raised his slender eyebrows slightly, and he thought for a moment before saying, "If it were just visual rays and steel raids, I could do better, and even break the two magic effects, it would be fine, but it would be impossible to keep me at such a large range of magic effects. My magic power is not enough, even a great alchemist can't do it."
"So, the magic here is not cast by one person?"
"Well... maybe... there shouldn't be such a powerful warlock..." Legolas couldn't completely make a conclusion.
"That's it... I hope it won't be a warlock!"
Yang Zheng murmured, and the distance was a little flickering in the river bank. Both of them heard the sound of the ship, looked at each other and lurked secretly.
Sure enough, in the darkness, it was getting brighter and brighter.
The black shadow floated on the river, and with the fucking glimmer, we could see that it was a ship... no, more than one.
More and more black shadows of ships appeared.
On the bank of the river, the transport convoy was unloading the goods, the rope was cut off, and the black tart cloth wrapped outside was finally pulled away, revealing the blue-black wooden box inside.
After the boats stopped on the shore, they lay down long springboards and more people came down from the boat.
As scouts, the two of them cannot get close to each other at all.
I could only watch from a distance, and the boxes brought by the convoy were carried onto the ship.
This busy lasted for half an hour, and all the loading and unloading work was completed. At this time, it was already dawn.
Finally, Yang Zheng saw the appearance of those ships.
The hull made of black wood is wrapped in iron on the front of the ship's tip. The whole ship is very flat and wide, like a huge octopus floating on the water. Only from the style of the ship can the designer's genius, and only such a ship can pass through the flood.
But Yang Zheng didn't have time to sigh that he was shocked by another fact.
Water thief.
Damn, these are water thieves!
Although Yang Zheng was in Wigolan County for the first time, the collection of intelligence was carried out tense from the moment he obtained the territory. After several months of collection, there was not much information available, and the top thief among them was naturally the most detailed.
There are so many water thieves and so many miscellaneous things that it is impossible to collect them completely.
However, the main bandits are recorded in the case, one of which is the strongest, most ruthless "octopus thief".
The water thief leader, the pseudonym Zhang Yu, led a water thief ship that looked like an octopus. He was wandering in the flood-torn Wigolan County, like a ghost. This bandit didn't emerge for a long time, but rose in a short time and became the most famous and mysterious water thief in Wigolan County.
In five years, they attacked the Lord's Mansion twice, killing two lords of Wigolan County. Moreover, their subordinates had no survivors, and even when they encountered other water thieves, they could kill them.
The brutal style and strong strength are the annotations of "octopus thieves" in Yang Zheng's intelligence.
This type of octopus-like water stolen ship is very easy to identify.
That's why Yang Zheng was so shocked.
The most mysterious Octopus Island is trading with a mysterious convoy that appears late at night.
The halo covered by magic makes things more foggy.
The rare thing about alchemists is universal cognition.
The large-scale magic that Legolas also sighed undoubtedly reflects the strength behind the mysterious team.
Yang Zheng's blood boiled slightly.
Seeing the octopus thief appear, he was already eager to turn his head, thinking about what to do next.
After loading and unloading, the crew members wrapped in black cloth began to board the ship.
The leader of the convoy also sent a signal of returning to the team, and the scouts flew back one after another.
what to do?
If you don't return to the team, it will definitely cause suspicion.
To be continued...
