Chapter 282 [Climbing to the Island] (Part 2)
Luo Lie saw Alice, saw Alice standing with Ling Feng, and saw standing on a huge ship built of white bones. Her body was shining with golden light like rising sun. This glory confused Luo Lie's eyes and made the world in front of him blank.
I seemed to hear someone crying in my ears. The crying sound was very similar to Alice. I listened carefully but it was a bit like Yan Tianxin's voice. The scene in my mind changed from a surging bloody ocean to an ice and snow world full of wind and snow.
In the snowy sky, an iceberg floated, and a vague and familiar figure was confined to the transparent iceberg.
Luo Lie struggled and wandered back and forth in the world of ice and blood. When he woke up, it was already dusk. He felt extremely thirsty. He grabbed the night tea at the head of the bed and drank it in big mouthfuls. When his mind recovered, he opened the cabin door and walked out, and met Lao An.
Lao An said in a deep voice: "I've been waiting for you all day."
Luo Lie looked at the sunset in the distance because of his words, and then realized that he had been sleeping for so long.
Luo Lie smiled and said, "Amber is important?"
Lao An shook his head. If there was something important, he would not wait patiently until now. Lao An said: "I am going to change the route I had set before."
Luo Lie was stunned and suddenly became alert.
Lao An had already expected that he would have doubts about himself before coming to find him, and spread the navigation chart he had prepared in his hand and said, "We originally planned to be this route. I am going to change the direction on Tenmu Island and head eastward, and then turn back north."
Luo Lie observed along the route he indicated. The route they had booked before was a straight line leading to the target sea area. Lao An's change was equivalent to drawing the other two sides of the triangle. Although the same, such a route would take a lot of unjust paths.
Luo Liedao: "Speak your reasons."
Lao An said: "The Marquis told me that there is a secret in Tenmu Island, which is related to the goal we are looking for." This reason is sufficient. He believed that he could convince Luo Lie. After all, the reason why Luo Lie did not abandon him and refused to let him move forward with the team was to learn Bai Yunfei's secret from him.
Luo Lie quietly looked at Lao An's eyes. This was a hidden master. Luo Lie could not see through his inner thoughts. Luo Lie even thought of using hypnosis on Lao An. However, facing a person with such a firm will, he did not have enough confidence to invade and control the other party's brain.
Old An said: "If Mr. Luo doesn't believe it, we can follow the original route."
Luo Lie said: "Since Amber has important things to do, it's okay for us to go there. There are some benefits to think about it. Those pirates probably wouldn't have thought that we would change the route halfway."
Lao An nodded, his expression actually seemed a little gentle.
Luo Liedao: "Are we going to land on the island?"
Old Andu said: "Yes!"
Tenmu Island is an isolated island located on the vast ocean. The shape of the island is narrow and long, wide in the middle and narrow at both ends, like a small boat. There is no vegetation on the island, but there is an extinct volcano in the center of the island. The black volcano is surrounded by the surrounding beaches, and it is like an eye. The name of Tenmu Island is thus obtained.
Because Tenmu Island lacks vegetation and fresh water, even fishermen rarely land on the island when passing here. No one will waste time here if they cannot be replenished.
Luo Lie has always doubted Lao An's purpose of landing on the island. If it weren't for Hai Mingzhu, he might have believed Lao An's reasons. But after knowing the grudge between Lao An and Hai Liantian, Luo Lie realized that completing Bai Yunfei's mission was no longer Lao An's primary mission.
There is one thing that Luo Lie has to admit that Lao An’s navigation skills are outstanding. At least in this sea area, he can not rely on navigation charts because he is a navigation chart.
Captain Zhongwang, in fact, he is no longer the captain. The ship that belongs to him was thrown into the Haishi Forest. The ship he is currently riding is called the Mingzhu, which they snatched from the pirates. Hai Mingzhu is the real owner of the ship. Lao An is responsible for driving the ship. Zhongwang is at best just his first mate. He has no choice but to decide where to go and what route to take. How can he ask how there is such a captain in the world? But Zhongwang is now unable to help, and he has truly experienced the feeling of getting on a pirate ship.
The same is true for the six crew members under Zhongwang. At this point, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to follow.
Chungwang has rich sailing experience. He has also passed through Tenmu Island in the past, but he has never had any experience of landing on the island.
After the ship stopped, Lao An proposed to land on the island, but Luo Lie felt strange that he wanted to travel with Shanghai Mingzhu when he landed on the island this time.
Zhang Changgong expressed doubts about Lao An's motives and quietly said to Luo Lie: "I think something is wrong. What did he take Hai Mingzhu up to do?" Although Lao An said that he was worried that they would let Hai Mingzhu go, it would be safest to keep such an important card under his nose, but such a reason is really far-fetched.
Luo Lie decided to let himself and Zhang Changgong accompany Lao An, and the rest stayed on the boat to wait. Of course, one of the conditions for Lao An to land on the island was that Hai Mingzhu would accompany him.
Hai Mingzhu is obviously much more ruled. Although she is a willful person, she is not a person who is ignorant of the current affairs. She understands her current dangerous situation. These people have successfully broken through. Whenever she thinks of this, Hai Mingzhu hates the group of people from the Hailong Gang from the bottom of her heart. There are many people, but there are so many of them that they are just a substitute. There are so many people, but the three ships can't help but hunt them.
Of course, Luo Lie and his friends have unique skills, which is something that Hai Mingzhu cannot deny. The person who fears Hai Mingzhu the most among this group is Lao An. Fortunately, the person who is responsible for guarding her is still Zhang Changgong.
Hai Mingzhu has given up her attempts in this regard after trying to escape. She knows that she has no chance, not to mention that she is now in the vast ocean. Even if they are willing to let themselves escape, she will not be able to survive in such an environment.
Four people came to the island on a lifeboat. Zhang Changgong was the last one to jump off the lifeboat. Luo Lie and him worked together to drag the boat upwards and tied it to a reliable reef.
Hai Mingzhu stood on the beach, rather than looking at Zhang Changgong and Luo Lie tow boats, she would rather take a step closer to Lao An and secretly looked at Lao An. She was meeting his gloomy and terrifying eyes. Hai Mingzhu was both jealous and involuntarily approaching Zhang Changgong again.
Zhang Changgong tied up the lifeboat, looked up and saw Hai Mingzhu's face was extremely pale, and blurted out: "What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Hai Mingzhu bit her lip and whispered: "Don't hand me over to that person..." If it weren't for this situation, how could she bow to Zhang Changgong?
Zhang Changgong noticed her panic in Hai Mingzhu's eyes when she asked for help. For some reason, he felt a little sympathy and whispered: "Don't worry!"
It was strange that after Hai Mingzhu heard his voice, she felt much more at ease, and she pursed her lips and said, "I believe in you."
Zhang Changgong's heart sank, and he soon realized that it was because of the power of Hai Mingzhu's words that being trusted is itself a responsibility.
Luo Lie in front had already caught up with Lao An's footsteps. This was a dead island. There was no trace of vitality where they passed. The beach under their feet was very soft. When they were approaching the volcano, the beach turned black. Luo Lie paid special attention to the surrounding conditions, and there was no trace of green wherever they looked.
Lao An stopped in front of a volcanic stone standing like an old man on the hillside, stared at the volcanic stone, reached out to gently stroke the stone covered with holes, and his eyes became unprecedentedly gentle.
Luo Lie looked at Lao An and suddenly said, "This is the place where your family was killed, right?"
Lao An's face was full of surprise. At this point, he had no need to deny it. He nodded and said, "Yes!"
Luo Lie said: "You insisted on landing on the island not because of Mr. Bai's order, but because of other purposes, right?"
Old An said: "It's right, right." He pointed to his temple and said: "The secrets that the Marquis told me are all here. These things have no special meaning to me. Do you want to know? Just use her to exchange them." His eyes turned to Hai Mingzhu not far away.
Luo Lie said calmly: "What do you want to do?"
Old An said: "You understand, you can't not understand." He wanted to kill Hai Mingzhu and use Hai Mingzhu to live sacrifice in the place where his family was killed in the past. He wanted Hai Liantian to experience the pain he had suffered for many years. As long as he killed Hai Mingzhu, he would not worry about not being able to find Hai Liantian. Even if he didn't go to find Hai Liantian, the other party would look for him to take revenge.
When Hai Mingzhu heard their conversation, she was so scared that she hid behind Zhang Changgong. Zhang Changgong said, "It is Hai Liantian who killed your family. You just want to seek revenge on him. Why bother a little girl who has no reason?"
Lao An looked at Zhang Changgong coldly: "No one can stop me!" His eyes returned to Luo Lie: "Do you agree?"
Luo Lie smiled and said, "I am never threatened by others."
Lao An laughed: "Since that's the case, we don't have to continue talking." He slowly took a step back and landed on the flat stone. Then he immediately crackled under his feet, and the stone was stomped by him.
Although Luo Lie had long seen that Lao An had other intentions to trick him into going to the island, he still lacked a correct assessment of Lao An's strength. Lao An's ability to kick the stone in front of him showed his true strength. This is a real master.
Lao An slowly lifted up his gray gown and whispered: "I don't want to be enemies with you, but anyone who stops me will eventually be my enemy."
Zhang Changgong's hand quietly touched the pistol at his waist. Lao An shook his body, and Luo Lie only felt a phantom flashing in front of him. Lao An did not attack him, but rushed towards Zhang Changgong like a ghost. Before Zhang Changgong pulled out the pistol, he pressed his right hand and Zhang Changgong swung his fist to Lao An. Lao An did not dodge or avoid it. When Zhang Changgong's fist hit his chest, his chest collapsed like a boneless one. Zhang Changgong felt that his fist was not under any force.
