Chapter 914: Patrolling the Island
He added: "If Yu Liang is here, well, it's just one of my men. He can observe the sky and predict the wind and rain more accurately than us."
The clouds in the sky were very thick, and He Lingchuan was a little skeptical.
But it was only half a cup of tea, he could wait.
Just as everyone was talking, the gray fog covering the entire Longji Island seemed to be guided and drifted towards the ships on the sea.
It was so turbulent and vast.
Just like the clouds in the sky.
The clouds seemed to be pushed away by an invisible hand, and disappeared inexplicably after a few dozen breaths.
The sky was clear and the sun shone on the earth without any obstruction. The sea was golden and the islands were lush and green, which was beautiful beyond words.
The pirates were right. The clouds cleared in half a cup of tea, and it was still a good day with a clear sky.
He Lingchuan smiled and said, "This is really God's help." Then he ordered his men, "Sail to Longji Island as soon as possible."
Otherwise, the wind direction will change soon, and sailing will be doubly difficult.
Not long after, Longji Island was in sight.
It was only afternoon now, and the sky was bright and clear, which was the time of the day when the Yang energy was at its peak.
The Yin Sha on the sea had long since disappeared, and everyone could see the narrow coastline and steep cliffs of Longji Island from afar.
According to He Lingchuan's request, the boat stopped half a mile away from the shore.
At this distance, the human eye could already see many things clearly.
A pirate pointed to the beach and shouted, "Dead bodies!"
The beach of Longji Island was originally as white as moonlight, but now it became dotted - the small black dots were the remains of Yin Vipers.
The remains of Yin Vipers had also appeared in Blade Harbor in the past few days, but the number was nothing compared to here.
Only after seeing it with their own eyes could the pirates be sure that there was indeed something wrong with the Yin Sha on Longji Island. The look they gave He Lingchuan had changed from shock at the beginning to incomprehension.
How many Yin Sha had Master He absorbed along the way? Was Yin Viper's death really caused by him?
The boats stopped approaching, firstly because of He Lingchuan's order, and secondly because they were afraid of the stench of the snake corpses on the shore.
And ordinary creatures begin to decompose naturally a few days after death, but the snake corpses have no scavengers to eat, and it is unknown how long they will rot here.
In addition, the scenery of Longji Island that everyone saw on the shore was really first-class.
He Lingchuan knew that as long as he approached the coast, the Yinsha on the island would overflow continuously, so he was not in a hurry and just chatted with Min Tianxi: "Do you know that the Yangshan Islands produce Shaoling ore?"
Yang Zhubu said that Lei Ni knew, but he guessed that Min Tianxi should know better.
"Shaoling Mine?" Min Tianxi thought for a moment, "Oh, it's on Leigong Island. Others can't go there, but you can, Young Master He."
"What do you mean?"
"I heard from the elders that the Yinsha Qi in the Yangshan Islands is like the tide, sometimes expanding outward, sometimes shrinking, but the interval is very long; nearly sixty years ago, the scope of the Yinsha turbidity was actually expanding outward." Min Tianxi explained, "Leigong Island was not covered by the Yinsha in the past, and people could go up to mine; later, the Yinsha included it, and the mine was idle."
"How much reserves are there?"
"Oh, I don't know, it happened before my father was born." Min Tianxi answered truthfully, "It's a pity, Leigong Island is not small."
"Are there other minerals in the archipelago?"
"It seems that there are some copper and iron mines, but I'm not sure." Min Tianxi asked cautiously, "Does the minerals on the island also belong to Young Master He?"
"All output on the ground, underground and in the sea, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery and mining, belong to me." He Lingchuan pointed at him, "Including you."
Min Tianxi smiled very reluctantly.
If he becomes an islander, he will belong to the island owner.
Just then, a long roar was heard on the island.
It sounded like a baby crying or a night owl, but it was particularly sharp and loud. Although it was far away, everyone still felt a palpitation and felt very uncomfortable.
This roar seemed a bit... angry?
Min Tianxi was shocked: "This is the cry of Yin Viper, no, it is the cry of the Yin Viper King!"
"Have you heard it?"
"When I was young, I was naughty and made a bet with my friends, well, I made a bet with Lei Ni's father, and then sailed close to Longji Island. The weather that day was as good as today. I stood at the bow and heard this cry. Not long after, my father arrived and asked me to turn around and leave immediately, and said that the leader of the Yin Viper on the island was definitely not a human opponent." Min Tianxi said quickly, "Master He, it's time for us to leave too!"
Qiu Hu said: "It's bright now."
Yin Viper and Yin Sha are both afraid of light. This ship is protected by the sun. What is there to be afraid of?
Min Tianxi shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, Yin Hu hiding underwater can avoid the damage of sunlight. They are also good at attacking underwater!"
As soon as the voice fell, there was a bang on the bottom of the boat, as if it hit something, and the hull shook at least 30 degrees.
Fortunately, everyone's lower body was stable, so they didn't fall headfirst.
Speaking of Yin Hu, Yin Hu came?
He Lingchuan decisively ordered: "Turn around, let's go!"
Without his urging, the five pirates spontaneously joined the ranks of sailors.
They have been experienced in sailing since childhood, and their skills are many times better than He Lingchuan and Rongshan people. As soon as this ship came into their hands, it seemed to have a soul. Not only did the speed double, but even the arcs and angles drawn inadvertently were very beautiful.
Qiu Hu subconsciously looked at them a few more times. On land, he could beat at least seven or eight of them by himself, but at sea, several of them combined were not as skilled as them in controlling the ship.
This is called specialization. The young master deliberately arranged the previous battlefield on the Fishbone Reef instead of on the ship, which showed that he had foresight.
"There has been no sign of Yin Hu going into the water on the coast." He kept staring at it, "Maybe there were Yin Hu patrolling in the water."
He Lingchuan nodded: "We almost wiped out the Yin Hu's nest last time. It's not surprising that the Yin Hu leader sent his men to patrol the sea regularly."
They were lucky to be able to drive straight into the sea and approach Longji Island today.
At this time, there was another loud bang from the bottom of the boat, and the boat was shaking. A pirate on the side was almost thrown into the sea. Wang Fubao grabbed his collar and pulled him back.
At this moment, a Yin Hu rushed out of the water and pounced on the pirate.
If Wang Fubao hadn't pulled it in time, the pirate would have been carried away by it in a second.
Sure enough, seeing the Yin Hu appear, everyone changed color. Xiang Lian was shocked: "So big?!"
This thing didn't show its whole body, but the part that was exposed to the sea was two meters long, and the chest was not unfolded yet, and it took one person to hug it.
Ordinary Yin Vipers are usually ten feet long, and these are rare big ones.
This monster came out of the water and then returned to the water in less than two seconds, but He Lingchuan had already seen the gray smoke coming out of it and heard a low hissing sound.
This was the reaction of being burned by the sun. If it dared to stay on the boat, it would be burned into a ball of charcoal in a blink of an eye.
Before he finished speaking, a crackling sound came from the bottom of the boat, like a mouse gnawing on wood amplified ten times.
