Chapter 542 Fairy Island?

When the fleet docked, what greeted them was not cheers from people, but silence.

Because corpses that were swollen with water were carried off the ship. Judging from the condition of the corpses, they died in a shipwreck.

"Stop looking, stop looking, look at whatever you want."

"Everyone give in."

The guards of the Nangong family began to drive away the people watching the excitement around the port.

Nangong Jin's face darkened, because there were at least several hundred corpses carried down.

At this moment, Nangong Jin saw Zhang Feng getting off the boat and quickly stepped forward to ask: "What happened? How could so many people die?"

You must know that as the Nangong family integrated pirates outside Sichuan, they visited more than a dozen overseas countries and regions over the past few decades and opened up more than 20 major shipping routes. They have already passed the "opening up wasteland" period.

Every time they went to sea, although there were still casualties, they were only fifty each time. When the pirates on the route saw this huge fleet, they were so scared that they ran away and how could they dare to get close.

What worries Nangong Jin is which overseas country will take advantage of the fleet while it is docking for trade.

"Brother-in-law, this is a long story. Let's talk about it when we get back." Zhang Feng glanced at the people watching the excitement around him and whispered.

Nangong Jin nodded.

The house has already prepared a reception banquet.

Nangong Jin's wife Zhang had been sitting in the living room waiting early.

At this time, the maid trotted in happily and said: "Madam, the master and the second master are back."

Since Zhang Feng was detained by Chen Mo in Qingzhou and returned to Sichuanhai, he used Chen Mo's banner to recruit a large navy of nearly 20,000 people in Sichuanhai.

Because in the past, Nangong Jin had to take care of the court, and when recruiting people, he had to hide and manage things, but this time, there was no need to worry about it at all.

After the navy was established, Zhang Feng took charge of the Nangong family's overseas trade.

He is known as the second master in the Nangong family.

"Come on, follow me out to greet you." Madam Zhang looked delighted when she heard this, and walked outside surrounded by the maids.

As soon as they arrived outside the mansion, they met Nangong Jin and Zhang Feng who were getting off the carriage. Zhang Feng was still holding a wooden box.

"Master, Brother Feng." The smile on Mrs. Zhang's face instantly faded, and she said in a deep voice, "What's wrong with you? Weren't you fine when you just went out?"

"Sister, something happened." Zhang Feng said with a wry smile.

Zhang's face condensed.

"Let's talk after we enter the mansion." Nangong Jin walked towards the mansion with her hands behind her back.

living room.

Nangong Jin dispersed all the servants, and only he, Zhang and Zhang Feng were there.

After sitting down, Nangong Jin asked impatiently: "Tell me, what happened?"

"Things are all caused by this object." Zhang Feng placed the wooden box on the table and slowly opened it.

Suddenly, a burst of heat was released from the box.

Inside the box, I saw a fruit the size of an adult's fist lying quietly. The fruit was fiery red, with a strange and irregular shape, and leaf-shaped whiskers.

"What is this?" Nangong Jin was stunned.

"Immortal fruit, that's what people from the Guluo Kingdom told me." Zhang Feng said: "Brother-in-law, look, this fruit has been out of the soil for a long time, but it has never shown signs of decay. Instead, it is still full and exudes a heat. , It’s hard to say whether the fruit is immortal or not, but it is definitely an innate spiritual creature.”

Hearing this, Nangong Jin immediately touched it carefully with his hand. Although the fruit was emitting heat, it was not hot at all. He poked it gently and found that the surface of the fruit was soft.

"How to eat this fruit?" From Nangong Jin's current knowledge, this fruit should have to be peeled.

"I do not know either."

"???"

"Brother-in-law, I really don't know." Zhang Feng smiled bitterly.

"What is the relationship between those corpses and this fruit?" Nangong Jin asked.

Zhang Feng spoke slowly.

It turned out that when the fleet docked in the Guluo Kingdom, a man from the Guluo Kingdom sold the fruit to Zhang Feng.

Although Zhang Feng didn't know what the fruit was, he knew it was not an ordinary fruit, so he curiously asked where it came from.

The people from the Guluo Kingdom said that this fruit was obtained from the Immortal Island.

Zhang Feng asked the man to explain carefully.

The man from the Guluo Kingdom said that when he went fishing a few days ago, it was afternoon and the sun was shining brightly, but there was heavy fog on the sea.

He was trapped in the fog and suddenly lost his way.

When the fog cleared, a small island appeared in front of him.

After he landed on the island, he felt that everything on the island was extraordinary and as beautiful as a fairyland.

And this fruit was picked by him from the island.

Because he had to rush back before dark, he did not stay on the island for long and left the island.

But he couldn't find the direction to go back. At this time, it suddenly rained heavily on the sea, strong winds blew, and waves arose, which overturned his boat.

Just when he thought he was going to die in a shipwreck, a fairy appeared.

The fairy could fly and rescued him directly, and also saved his boat.

At this time, the storm stopped, and the fairy showed him the way back.

"Flying fairy?" Nangong Jin raised his eyebrows, not particularly surprised by this. A first-level warrior can mobilize his own innate spiritual energy to fly for a period of time, and immediately said: "So you listened to his words and went to look for it. The fairy island he mentioned? "

Zhang Feng nodded and said, "It's strange. It was sunny and the sea was calm, but when our fleet arrived at the area he mentioned, it suddenly rained heavily and a hurricane blew. The first ship was directly blown into the hurricane and disappeared without a trace.

I was so scared that I quickly ordered to leave the area, but there were still ships affected, and the ships were destroyed and people died."

Zhang found something wrong from Zhang Feng's words and said, "The people of Gu Luo said that Jinxian There was a thick fog in front of the island, and it was stormy after we came out. But you haven't even entered the fairy island, so how come it's stormy right away?

Also, since he landed on the fairy island and picked the fairy fruit, it's impossible that he only picked one. Didn't he eat it and sell it to you? When he sold it to you, didn't he teach you how to eat it? "

"Sister, I asked him, and he said he only picked one, and he also said that he knew it was precious, saying that it would be a waste to eat it, so it would be better to sell it for money. It happened that we landed at that time, so he sold it to us." Zhang Feng said.

The Nangong family's fleet has been to Gu Luo Country more than once, and they would go ashore to trade every time, and they were generous, so the people of Gu Luo Country were willing to do business with the fleet.

Nangong Jin frowned and said, "How many casualties were there in total on this trip?"

"Including the missing, a total of 2,128 people."
