Chapter 67 Yongle Island
A smooth crack appeared on a dark golden mountain with hideous scales.
The ship slowly entered through it. At first it was just a small gap, but as it went deeper, the passage became wider and wider.
The two halves of the sea monster's body are separating.
This was an extremely shocking experience for everyone on the ship.
The sailors rushed to the deck in amazement and gasped for the cool air.
"Oh my god, could Taoist Xiao Li be a god?" a sailor finally couldn't help but shouted.
Li Chu shook his head: "It's just a bigger fish, it's nothing."
Everyone was speechless.
Looking up at the sunlight leaking through the ceiling, it feels like walking on a towering crack in the sky.
You call this bigger?
If this fish were brought back to Wang Fishing Village, it would probably scare a few old sailors to death, right?
If the whole village kills one, it will be enough to eat for half a year.
When they looked at Li Chu's back, which was full of humility, their eyes turned into awe.
The fox girl suddenly called out, "Master, look!"
She placed one hand on the front of the boat, stood on tiptoe, and pointed forward. Outside the gap there was a faint hint of colorful scenery.
The fox girl had good eyesight, and Li Chu's was not bad either. He took a look and saw the scene over there.
An island.
Looking from afar, there are overlapping mountains and lush vegetation, and a few magnificent palaces can be vaguely seen in the valleys.
Exactly as depicted by the sailors who turned into water monkeys.
But before the storm, they had not found anything in that direction. After the storm, the island suddenly appeared.
This is similar to the experience of sailors.
But this storm was clearly caused by the sea monster. If the sailors had the same experience, they should have also encountered the sea monster.
How could a mortal escape?
There is indeed no such section in their description, and the sea monster should not have appeared at that time.
Could it be that this sea monster has someone else to target?
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was angry because I used my mind to spy on its true identity.
Thinking about it this way, could it be that it attacked our ship...
Because it's shy?
Haha, Li Chu shook his head gently, getting rid of this nonsensical idea.
In a moment, the two huge halves of the sea monster's body had sunk into the sea, and the sky had long since returned to clear.
The setting sun at dusk shines on the calm sea, as dazzling as fireworks.
The ship finally approached the island.
Suddenly, a horn sounded on the island. Looking in the direction of the sound, a man in gold and white armor was looking up and blowing the horn on the shore, as if to alert the people on the island that an uninvited guest had arrived.
The ship finally docked at a soft sandy beach, and a hundred steps ahead of the beach was a dense forest.
Before everyone got off the boat, they heard a rustling sound coming from the woods. A lot of people were coming over!
Everyone on the boat immediately became alert and stared at the woods nervously.
The dense footsteps are getting closer and closer... There are a lot of people coming!
Crash——
A shiny belly first protruded from the woods. This belly belonged to a short fat man. Because he was short and fat, his whole body was like a ball, which looked quite funny.
The short and fat man was wearing a gorgeous robe embroidered with brocade and gold, which looked very valuable. However, no matter how expensive the robe was, it could not cover his belly, which would pop out if he exerted a little force.
Following behind him on the left was a team of maids with good figures, all of them wearing tube tops with golden tassels and long skirts that outlined their legs, revealing their slender waists and showing off their figures to the fullest.
On the right was a team of tall and handsome guards, all wearing golden armor and holding spears and swords in their hands.
When this team of people came out, the feeling they gave people could be described in two words.
Dazzling.
Just like the golden palace behind them, it highlights the splendor and has a very exaggerated style.
But Li Chu thought it was pretty good.
He even wanted to have such decoration in Deyun Temple when he had money in the future.
Commonly known as local tyrant gold.
The short fat man came under the boat, raised his head with great effort, and said to everyone on the boat with a bright smile: "Dear guests who have come from afar, welcome to Yongle Island!"
It seems that the other party has no intention of starting a war directly.
Li Chu led the fox girl and Wang Longqi off the boat.
The sailors looked at each other and decided to stay on the ship and wait for them.
One reason is that there are evil spirits on the island, and they are afraid of it. Another reason is that they heard that the maids on the island are very hospitable, and their wives are also afraid... so they set the rules early on.
So there were actually only three people getting off the boat.
Li Chu naturally wanted to meet the real culprit and find out what was going on, and the fox girl followed him.
And Wang Longqi...
He had been frightened by the storm and had been in a daze, but when he saw the team of maids just now, he came back to his senses and suddenly remembered why he came there.
Only by keeping your original intention in mind can you achieve your goal.
The short fat man came down to meet Li Chu and the others and asked enthusiastically, "Will the guests on the boat come down and sit for a while? I am the steward of Yongle Island. Our island owner is very hospitable and every guest will receive the best hospitality!"
"No, they are waiting for us on the boat." Li Chu said bluntly: "We want to visit your island owner for something."
"Oh?" The short fat man didn't ask what it was, but smiled and said, "The island owner will be very happy."
At that moment, surrounded by a team of maids and soldiers, the three of them walked through the dense woods and headed towards the palace shining with golden light.
When you look at it from outside the island, the palace seems to be nearby, but when you actually walk there, the mountain road is quite long.
I don’t know how these people arrived in such a short time after seeing the ship.
When they got close to the palace, even a wealthy second-generation like Wang Longqi couldn't help but exclaim.
The entire palace is decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, and is full of brilliance. Almost everything you see is covered with a layer of gold.
The floor beneath your feet is paved with white marble, which is smooth and seamless, without any traces of inlay.
After entering the main hall, they did not see the so-called island owner immediately, but were arranged to rest in a side hall.
The other party's attitude was very polite, so the three of them waited patiently.
It was not until the sunset completely faded that someone came to inform us that the dinner was ready.
The island owner was also waiting in the hall.
When they followed him to the main hall, they saw the mysterious island owner.
Um……
The island owner's figure is somewhat similar to that of the short and fat man. They both have round bodies, but he is much taller and has a huge head, making him look like a ball stacked on top of another ball.
It looks like a snowman and is quite funny.
The island owner said warmly: "Welcome to my Yongle Island. Haha, you are really handsome men and beautiful women. This makes my island shine."
The three of them were led by the maid to sit down at the dining table.
The table was filled with sumptuous dishes. At a glance, there were all kinds of delicacies and game. But Li Chu looked at the dishes on the table and suddenly blinked.
He first smiled and returned the greeting to the island owner: "Thank you for your hospitality."
Then he added: "But I have a question."
"Oh?" The island owner raised his hand, "You can say it anyway."
"Why is there no fish in your sumptuous dinner?"
"Haha." The island owner waved his hand and said, "To be honest, we are on the island and have long been tired of eating those seafood. Here, this is the most precious."
"But as far as I know, you seemed to have bought a lot of seafood yesterday." Li Chu said slowly.
When the island owner heard this, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared...
