Chapter 271 Heart of the Earth
"Shoot me!"
With the bald head's roar, the cannons on all the ships fired together, with a deafening roar, and all the pirate ships were instantly ablaze...
"boom……"
"boom……"
"boom……"
…
Dense shells were poured all over the island. The shells fell on the ground, blasting the sand dozens of feet high, and landed on the houses. The houses were directly blown to pieces. The shells fell on the dense crowd, and blood and flesh flew everywhere for a while.
One salvo of artillery shells is not complete, followed by the second, third, and fourth rounds...
As the sound of cannons sounded one after another, countless cannonballs fell down as if they were free, bombarding Dagu City indiscriminately.
Buildings everywhere were instantly razed to the ground, and there was a sea of fire everywhere. An unknown number of people were killed and injured by the shells. Many corpses were charred and black, and there were cries.
Everyone on the island was stunned by the sudden artillery fire.
Now Tianfeng has not completely ended yet. No one expected that the Black Dragon Pirates would come over at this time. All the tribes on the island were caught off guard.
The island owner, Leng Qianqiu, had a gloomy face, looked towards the direction in which the cannonballs were flying, and roared: "Fire the cannons! Sink those pirate ships! If you sink a pirate ship, the island owner will be rewarded heavily!"
Following the island owner's order, the Gu cultivators on the island rushed into the fortifications one after another. Some ran into the fort, and some ran to the city wall full of cannons, aiming the dark muzzles in the direction of the Black Dragon Pirates.
Then the two sides started to shoot at each other and had an artillery battle. The two sides exchanged bombardment, you came and I went back and forth. The dense artillery fire was about to light up the sky. The sound of the artillery fire was as dense as firecrackers, without any gaps.
Dagu Island is fighting this battle by selling iron and steel. There are quite a lot of cannons on the island, and many new forts have been built. There is also a row of cannons on the city wall. There are at least 3,000 cannons in this direction, and the firepower is really not small.
Dense shells poured on the sea, causing splashes and rough waves. Some shells also fell on the pirate ship, causing the ship to shake violently.
The shells from both sides were flying randomly in the sky, and the sound of dense explosions was endless. The island and the sea were full of fire, and the continuous explosions were deafening.
Long Xuan was also awakened by the continuous sound of artillery fire in his sleep.
"Where did you get the shot?"
He hurriedly ran out the door without even having time to put on his clothes. When he saw the firepower outside, which was like setting off firecrackers, and the sky was already lit up by dense firelight, he was completely shocked.
"What kind of firepower is this, Shulia firepower?"
The rest of the Shenlong crew were also alarmed by the ferocious firepower and ran out of the room one after another. When they saw the fierce artillery battle outside, they were all stunned.
Nie Qingcheng looked up at the fire in the sky and said with a livid face: "Oh no! The Black Dragon Pirates have attacked the island, how come it's so fast!"
"I wanted to leave as soon as the Tianfeng was over, but I didn't expect the Black Dragon Pirates to be so impatient. They called before the Tianfeng was over. Now we are completely trapped on the island."
Hearing this, everyone's faces turned ugly and they were in a very bad mood.
Whether Dagu Island can defeat the Black Dragon Pirates is unknown. Once Dagu Island fails to defend the island and is attacked by the Black Dragon Pirates, their group will be in big trouble.
Don't forget that they took the Heart of the Ocean, which is the main target of the Black Dragon Pirates.
Once the Black Dragon Pirates successfully land on the island, they are doomed.
Long Xuan also frowned slightly at this time. He was not worried that the Black Dragon Pirate Group would come in. He had a way out.
The worst case scenario is to get into the hut and escape thousands of miles away.
However, if he escaped directly into the hut, he would be transferred directly inland, and the half-year voyage would be in vain.
By then, it will obviously be too late to rush from the mainland to Tiandao.
Once he uses the coir to escape, it means that he has to completely give up the opportunity of the island, and give up the golden toad and repair bug that he must get.
How could this make him make up his mind?
"Di Xin, can you repair the broken teleportation array on the island in an instant? You have many hands, I believe in your speed." Long Xuan immediately looked at Di Xin, placing his hope on her.
All the other crew members also looked at her.
Di Xin rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "What a bad ass! That teleportation array is not broken at all. The island owner is coaxing everyone on the island to play."
"His courage is not enough! He actually feels sorry for the cost of the teleportation array and is not willing to destroy it."
"It may also be that he is greedy for life and afraid of death. He is afraid that if this battle is defeated, the teleportation array will be destroyed and his way of survival will be eliminated. He may have to leave this teleportation array as a retreat."
"Of course, this secret must be known only to the island owner. The island owner needs to let everyone know that the teleportation array has been destroyed and there is no way out. The only way to survive is to defeat the Black Dragon Pirates. The mourning soldiers will win."
"Such a desperate plan will increase the army's combat effectiveness by three points out of thin air, and the chance of defeating the Black Dragon Pirates will also be greatly increased. This island owner's plan is so clever that it can accomplish multiple things with one stone."
"The Black Dragon Pirates will suffer a big loss against such a shrewd island owner."
Leng Yan nodded and said: "He wants to drag everyone on the island into this war to increase the chance of winning."
"All foreign Gu cultivators who enter the island for refuge will become cannon fodder in this war, so we must leave as soon as possible without delay."
"We must leave here before the Black Dragon Pirates rush to the island, otherwise we will be in big trouble."
Long Xuan didn't dare to delay and said hurriedly: "Without further ado, let's head towards the teleportation array now. I'll figure out how to rush into that teleportation array."
Di Xin glanced at the more than a hundred people, frowned slightly, and said: "There are too many of us. To mobilize troops like this will attract the attention of the island owner."
"You must hide in a space. The Heart of the Ocean cannot be used in the middle of the island. The city has been closed now. You can hide in my Heart of the Earth."
"My Heart of the Earth can also hold a living person."
In order to leave secretly, Di Xin also risked his life at this time, and even revealed that he had the secret of the heart of the earth.
The Heart of the Earth is an innate spiritual treasure, an existence as famous as the Heart of the Ocean.
At the same time, the abilities of the Heart of the Earth and the Heart of the Ocean are completely opposite.
The ability of the Heart of the Earth can only be used on land and will be disabled at sea.
The ability of the Heart of the Ocean, in turn, can only be used at sea and will be ineffective on land.
The Heart of the Earth can mobilize the power of the entire earth, and there is a vast land space in it.
But the Heart of the Ocean can mobilize the power of the ocean, and there is a vast ocean space inside.
In terms of practicality, the Heart of the Earth is stronger than the Heart of the Ocean. After all, humans are land creatures and spend most of their time on land. Therefore, the Heart of the Earth ranks higher among innate spiritual treasures than the Heart of the Ocean, and its value is also higher. high.
Long Xuan didn't expect that Di Xin actually had such a valuable treasure. No wonder she told him that she didn't need to get rid of the useless things on her body. No matter how many things she had, she could still fit them in her space.
She has such a vast heart of earth, so of course she can hold a lot of things.
This is really a little rich woman. She has all kinds of treasures, and Long Xuan is envious of her.
Di Xin quickly took out a mysterious earth-brown sphere, which was exactly the same size as Long Xuan's Ocean Heart.
At this time, the crew members had no time to be shocked and ran towards the space in the heart of the earth.
"Wait! There's still me! You can't throw me on this island to be killed by pirates!"
At this moment, something seemed to have gotten into the heart of the earth, and then disappeared.
Long Xuan rubbed his eyes, what was in there just now?
…
At this time, there was chaos in front of the main hall where the teleportation array was placed.
"Let us in quickly! The Black Dragon Pirates are coming in soon. Do you really want us to be buried here?"
"Why hasn't your teleportation array been repaired yet? How long will it take for you to repair the teleportation array?"
"I think it's false that your teleportation array has been broken. You did it on purpose. I think the teleportation array was also destroyed on purpose by you! You want to use us as cannon fodder!"
Under the instigation of someone, everyone here was angry. Seeing that a riot was about to break out here, the aura of a Dao Gu King suddenly suppressed the entire audience. Everyone suddenly became quiet and stopped talking.
But the crowd's eyes were still angry, looking at the figure in the sky with fire-breathing eyes.
This person is the wife of the island owner. She is beautiful and kind-hearted. She is known as the first virgin of the island. She is currently pregnant.
She never participated in the affairs of the island, but she was a true Gu King, so even if she was pregnant, she was enough to suppress the voices in the room.
After she slowly fell from the air, she held an integrity Gu in her hand and said apologetically to everyone around her: "I'm really sorry, the teleportation array is indeed broken, and it was destroyed by the Black Dragon Pirates."
"I heard from our informants that a group of people stole the Heart of the Sea from the Black Dragon Pirate Group, and that group of people is on the island."
"The Black Dragon Pirates were afraid that this group of people would escape along the teleportation array, so they sent people to destroy the teleportation array immediately."
"This is also the reason why the Black Dragon Pirates can't wait to attack the Great Island before Tianfeng is completely over."
"Otherwise, they can wait for everyone to leave before attacking the big island. Why are they in such a hurry? The people of the Black Dragon Pirate Group are not fools. How can they increase casualties..."
…
In the crowd, Di Xin was completely shocked when he saw this pregnant woman who was full of lies. He couldn't help but look at Long Xuan and asked through his soul: "She is lying here endlessly, and the integrity Gu didn't respond at all. She How is it done?"
There is nothing strange about Long Xuan. He is the ancestor of deceiving Integrity Gu and is the best at deceiving Integrity Gu. He knows many ways to deceive Integrity Gu.
For example, the integrity Gu in Long Lie's hands at the Empress' Tomb was easily fooled by him using word games.
But word games don’t apply to all lies. The pregnant woman spoke for such a long time, and it was obviously not a word game.
At this time, Long Xuan thought of another possibility, that is, the pregnant woman was indeed telling the truth.
Since what she said was true, of course the Integrity Gu wouldn't shine.
But whether the truth she said is true or not, this integrity Gu has no control over.
This is one of the limitations of Integrity Gu. Integrity Gu can only determine whether a person is lying, but if the information the person knows is wrong, then Integrity Gu is powerless.
Even if that person says that one plus one equals three, as long as he really thinks so in his heart, the Integrity Gu will not shine.
Therefore, Long Xuan was almost certain that the pregnant woman was indeed telling the truth, but this innocent pregnant woman was deceived by the treacherous island owner, who made her learn wrong information and also deceived the integrity Gu. (End of chapter)
