Chapter 271 Heart of the Earth
"Shoot me!"
With the bald head roaring, 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 bodies 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 Dagusao 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 did not dare to delay and said hurriedly: "There is no time to lose, let's go to the teleportation array now, I will find a way to rush into the teleportation array."
Emperor Xin looked at the more than 100 people, frowned slightly, and said: "There are too many of us. If we mobilize so many troops, we will definitely 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. Now the city has been closed. You can hide in my Heart of the Earth."
"My Heart of the Earth can also hold living people."
In order to leave secretly, Emperor Xin also risked his life at this time, and actually exposed the secret that he had the Heart of the Earth.
The Heart of the Earth is an innate spiritual treasure, which is 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 fail at sea.
The ability of the Heart of the Ocean, on the other hand, can only be used at sea and will fail on land.
The Heart of the Earth can mobilize the power of the entire earth, and there is a large area of land space inside it.
The Heart of the Ocean, on the other hand, can mobilize the power of the ocean, and it contains a vast ocean space.
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, so the Heart of the Earth ranks higher than the Heart of the Ocean among the innate spiritual treasures, and its value is also higher.
Long Xuan never thought that Emperor Xin actually had such a treasure. No wonder she told him that day that she didn't need to get rid of the useless things on her body, and her space could hold more things even if she had more things.
She has such a large heart of the Earth, so of course she can hold as many things as she wants.
This is really a little rich woman, she has all kinds of treasures on her, and Long Xuan is envious.
Emperor Xin quickly took out a mysterious earth-brown sphere, which is exactly the same size as Long Xuan's Heart of the Ocean.
At this time, the crew members had no time to be shocked, and they all ran to the space inside the Heart of the Earth.
"Wait! There's me! You can't throw me on this island to be killed by pirates!"
At this time, it seemed that something mixed into the Heart of the Earth and then disappeared.
Long Xuan rubbed his eyes. What just went in?
…
At this time, the door of the hall where the teleportation array was placed was in chaos.
"Let us in quickly! The Black Dragon Pirates are about to break in. 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 the fact that your teleportation array is broken is false. You did it on purpose. I think the teleportation array was also deliberately destroyed by you! You want to use us as cannon fodder!"
Under the instigation of someone, everyone here was angry at this time. Seeing that a riot was about to happen here, the breath of a Taoist Gu King suddenly suppressed the whole scene. Everyone suddenly quieted down and stopped talking.
But the eyes of the crowd were still angry, looking at the figure in the air with fiery eyes.
This person is the wife of the island owner. She is beautiful and kind. She is known as the first mother of the Great Lonely Island and is currently pregnant.
She never participates in the island's affairs, but she is a genuine Gu King, so even if she is a pregnant woman, it is enough to suppress the voices in the field.
After she slowly fell from the air, holding a trustworthiness Gu in her hand, she said apologetically to the people around her: "I'm really sorry, the teleportation array is indeed broken, and it was destroyed by the people of the Black Dragon Pirates."
"I heard from our informants that a group of people stole the Ocean Heart of the Black Dragon Pirates, 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 as soon as possible."
"This is also the reason why the Black Dragon Pirates couldn't wait to attack the Great Lonely Island before the Tianfeng was completely over."
"Otherwise, they could wait for you to leave before attacking the Great Lonely Island. Why are they so anxious? The people of the Black Dragon Pirates are not fools, so how could they increase casualties..."
...
In the crowd, looking at this pregnant woman who was full of lies, Emperor Xin was completely shocked. He couldn't help but look at Long Xuan and asked with soul transmission: "She is lying here, but the trustworthiness Gu has no reaction. How did she do it?"
Long Xuan didn't look surprised at all. He was the ancestor of deceiving the trustworthiness Gu and was best at deceiving the trustworthiness Gu. He knew many ways to deceive the trustworthiness Gu.
For example, the Integrity Gu in Long Lie's hand at the Empress' Tomb was easily fooled by him using word games.
But word games are not applicable to all lies. This pregnant woman said such a long paragraph, which is obviously not a word game.
At this time, Long Xuan thought of another possibility, that is, the pregnant woman was really telling the truth.
Since she was telling the truth, the Integrity Gu would certainly not glow.
But whether the truth she said was true or not, the Integrity Gu could not control it.
This is one of the limitations of the Integrity Gu. The Integrity Gu can only judge whether a person is lying, but if the information the person knows is wrong, then the Integrity Gu is powerless.
Even if that person says one plus one equals three, as long as he really believes it in his heart, the Integrity Gu will not glow.
So Long Xuan is almost certain that the pregnant woman was really telling the truth, but this simple pregnant woman was fooled by the treacherous island owner, who let her know the wrong information and deceived the Integrity Gu. (End of this chapter)
