Douluo 2: Miss Noumenon wants to be the ultimate villain
Chapter 407: Vermillion Islands
At this moment, there was an extremely huge evil killer whale king in front of the six people. It looked to be more than 20,000 years old and was several times larger than the ship Qingli had taken before.
The huge whale tail that dealt the final blow to everyone should have come from this soul beast.
The waves were surging, and the killer whale's head emerged from the water. The huge size of the sea soul beast made everyone take a deep breath.
Just when Xu Tianyin's legs had just gained some strength and he was about to escape, a group of evil killer whales came from afar and surrounded the six people with the pirates.
The pirates laughed crazily, "Where else do you want to go?"
At daybreak, the group was abducted by pirates to the islands in the West Sea, completely away from the official territory of Sun and Moon.
"Miss Dugu, you have really screwed me this time!" Xu Tianyin whispered while the pirates were not paying attention.
Qingli sat on the back of the killer whale, looking quite relaxed. "It's better to be taken away by these pirates than to stay on the sea and lose our way. It looks like we will be back to land soon."
"This is the Zhuyue Islands! The most difficult place to break through in the entire Sun and Moon," Xu Tianyin said helplessly, "With the core Zhu Island as the center, it is easy to mobilize the arrangement of the surrounding Moon Islands. Once you are brought in, there is no way to get out. Even if the Hand of the Protector of the Nation arrives, I'm afraid it will be impossible to get us out easily."
So that's why. No wonder Qingli felt that the islands around him seemed to be moving vaguely ever since the group of killer whales brought Qingli and others into the archipelago.
That being said, this is really a good place.
The scattered small islands around still look like small fishing villages, but the deeper you go, the more prosperous it becomes until you reach Zhu Island in the center, which is like a town.
The port is extremely wide, and layers of high vermilion walls are built on the high ground to resist foreign enemies.
The core Zhu Island has ports on all sides, and there is a huge gap near each port, with water constantly flowing out. It looks like some kind of drainage system, but I don't know what it is used for.
Xu Tianran said in a deep voice, "I think what Miss Dugu said makes sense. Where there are people, there is a way out. It depends on what their purpose is in tying us here."
Seeing the killer whales returning, the harbor was filled with people welcoming them home. “Congratulations to the leader on his great return!”
"Mr. Mei Cheng," a little girl at the port greeted the leader naturally, "What new things did you bring back for me this time?"
The man of medium height became much gentler. He rubbed the girl's head and his tone became less crazy. "It won't work this time. Xiaoxiao, maybe next time."
"Agui, I'll leave them to you." Mei Cheng blew a loud whistle and walked into the city in a casual manner.
With his whistle, the huge killer whale king leaped up and jumped directly into the center of Zhu Island.
Like a volcanic eruption, waves erupted from the center of the island, and countless streams poured out along the ravines. The rest of the killer whales swam into the waterway and gradually disappeared in front of everyone.
It turned out to be a fish pond. Qingli then realized the function of those drain-like things.
It is rare to see soul beasts and humans seem so harmonious.
Such a huge killer whale king jumped into the pool in the center of the island. A heavy rain fell on the street. The people on the island, on the contrary, looked accustomed to it and accepted the falling sea water with pleasure.
The living environment of the pirates is quite comfortable. It is no different from a prosperous small town and the people are very simple and honest.
The streets were full of people rushing to the morning market. When they saw Qingli and the other six being captured here, they were all filled with curiosity and immediately surrounded them.
Qingli then began to understand why these pirates were able to use formations that drew on the power of the sea.
Every household on the street has a statue of the God of the Sea, but this is different from the statue of Tang San that Qingli saw in Shrek Academy. Instead, it is a statue of a man with a long beard who looks somewhat majestic.
These pirates, or rather, the people living in the Vermillion Moon Islands are believers of the sea god.
Qing Li had clearly heard that the evil killer whale had a habit of killing. Was it because of this that it could coexist peacefully with the people on the island and could be controlled by the pirates?
After finally getting rid of the crowd, the pirate Agui led the six people into their training ground. He looked at the six people carefully, and finally his eyes were fixed on the two girls, Qingli and Ye Xiaoshi.
"Which of you two is Qingping King Duguli?" Ah Gui held a cold steel fork in his hand and walked slowly between the six people. "We only want her life. Hand her over and I will let the other five go."
Ah Gui was tall and thin, with a face like a skull, and his voice was very eerie, so his threats were very effective.
Xu Tianyin immediately started to sell out his teammates, pointing at Ye Xiaoshi and saying, "She is Duguli, please let us go."
"Tell the truth?" Ah Gui was immediately attracted by Xu Tianyin's voice, and his skull-like face immediately stuck in front of Xu Tianyin.
He stammered, "Of course it's true."
Qing Li found these pirates very interesting. Didn’t the people who hired them even give them a portrait of themselves?
It's really amazing. Not only did they not leave any clues, but I'm afraid even these pirates were just doing the job for the money and have no idea who the boss behind this is.
"Are you sick?" Ye Xiaoshi really couldn't help it. It was okay that Xu Tianyin always tricked her at other times, but was it okay to joke at a time like this?
Ah Gui's eyes were attracted to Ye Xiaoshi again. Qingli sat in the wheelchair as steady as a rock. "Haven't you heard that Duguli is in a wheelchair?"
Ye Xiaoshi was the eldest daughter of a noble family. Normally, no one, not to mention men, even ordinary people dared to get so close to her and look at her straight.
The ghost's gaze made her feel uncomfortable, but fortunately Qingli's words quickly diverted his gaze.
Seeing Ah Gui running to Qingli's side, Xu Tianyin came close to Ye Xiaoshi and whispered, "They said they only wanted Duguli's life. If you don't hand someone over, what if the prince's precious body is injured?
Besides, if we hand over Prince Qingping, you, me and the Crown Prince will be saved, but how can I explain to my father when I return to Mingdu?"
Xu Tianyin blinked his beautiful big eyes and said sincerely, "So, it is the best choice for you to stay and replace Miss Dugu. For me and for our lives. More importantly, save me. Do you think what I said makes sense?"
The other pirates had long known that Xu Tianyin couldn't stop talking, and they had been scolding him from the beginning and forbidding him to whisper.
Although Qingli was far away, she happened to see Xu Tianyin's lip movements.
But she didn't expect that Xu Tianyin's nonsense sounded selfish and mean, and he wanted Ye Xiaoshi to sacrifice himself to save everyone.
Ye Xiaoshi actually thought seriously about such an unreliable opinion.
"You do have some truth in what you said." Although Ye Xiaoshi's hands were trembling slightly in her sleeves, she still kept her gaze firm, "Next, I will pretend to be Miss Dugu."
The sea breeze in this season is not cool. Instead, it brings a chill that penetrates into the sleeves and tries to penetrate into the bones.
Ye Xiaoshi's burgundy hair was blown up by the wind, like a thick cloud, and the morning light cast a golden glow on the cloud.
The clouds and mist outlined in gold gently brushed across Xu Tianyin's face. He looked down at the petite girl beneath him, his expression changing from frivolous to silent and gloomy.
You are really worthy of it, Ye Xiaoshi. This is probably an outrageous request that only you would agree to.
Ah Gui looked him up and down several times and denied it repeatedly, "I heard that Prince Qingping has the power of thunder and lightning and shined in the fighting spirit competition. How can a cripple like you possibly move Dugu Li's weapon?"
It seems that on this continent, the Fighting Spirit Competition is still the most widely spread event. Qingli had previously deliberately demonstrated his mobility problems in Tiandou City, but such news was completely unknown to the pirates on the edge of the continent.
Rumors become more and more outrageous as they spread. Even Qing Li's real portrait has been circulated several times throughout the Douluo Continent.
Ye Wen'an stood behind Qing Li, folding his arms and saying speechlessly, "You don't even know the true appearance of Prince Qingping, and you come out to kidnap him. It's really ridiculous."
On the other side, just as Ye Xiaoshi was about to admit it, Xu Tianyin grabbed her wrist and said, "Ye Xiaoshi, just forget it."
Xu Tianran, who was also sitting in a wheelchair, said slowly, "Ah Yin, do you think they will let us go if we really hand over Dugu Li?
These pirates are nothing more than slaves driven by money. If we can offer heavier chips, they will turn their guns against us in a minute.
There is always a way out. When I entered the island, I saw the ship of the Brilliant Lord. It seems that the Zhao family has some connection with these pirates.
If we can meet the Zhao family on the island, maybe we can find a way to leave here.
Therefore, Miss Ye, please pretend to be Prince Qingping for a while."
So that's how it is. In fact, when Qingli entered the island, he also saw many ships parked on the outskirts of the archipelago, but the archipelago here is always moving, and even if it is hidden in a secluded place, it can be easily exposed.
Soon everyone found out why there were so many foreign ships gathered here. It was because the vast pirate group was selling the deep-sea black water that was abundant near their Zhuyue Islands.
This is a peculiar energy source, just like the mineral used in light-guided screens. It does not require any soul power to drive it and can produce images briefly.
And what this deep-sea black water drives is not just simple things like optical screens, but much heavier soul guides. Its preciousness can even take many soul guides of the Sun-Moon Empire to a higher level.
But the terrain of the Zhuyue Islands is difficult to attack, and in the face of the war in which Sun and Moon are about to unify the world, they can only temporarily endure the itch of these mosquitoes.
Xu Tianran suggested that they also wanted to participate in this so-called large-scale transaction. The worth of many of the six of them might be more valuable than Prince Qingping, so it would be better to auction off their lives as well.
"Anyway, for you, it's a sure win."
Ah Gui actually agreed without hesitation, "Okay, we believe that the strong are respected, since you want to participate in the pirate business, you must show your ability.
The pirates' rule is to stand still and fight ten at once.
Let the legendary King Qingping come to challenge her. After all, she is the one whose life was bought by someone else. How can she do this without risking her life?"
"No!" Xu Tianyin stopped him immediately.
"Are you qualified to negotiate with us?" Ah Gui laughed coldly, "Or do the five of you really intend to sacrifice one person's life in exchange for your own life?"
"He doesn't count," Ye Xiaoshi's small body looked at the pirates calmly, "I, King Qingping, agree!"
