262. Chapter 262: Island Lord Leng Qianqiu of Big Solitary Island
The strong wind was still howling, and deafening ghost cries came to their ears. On the island, sand and stones were flying, and fallen leaves were scattered everywhere. The wind was so strong that it was about to blow people away; the island was already a scene of the apocalypse.
Although the Black Whirlwind Ghost Wind had turned, the ravages of the Black Whirlwind Ghost Wind caused changes in the nearby air pressure, so the airflow surged, forming a strong typhoon.
Typhoons can make landfall. Such a strong typhoon made it difficult for the crew members who jumped off the ship to even open their eyes.
Just a moment ago they could still talk, but now the wind was so strong that even talking was difficult.
"Go! Let's get onto the island quickly. The typhoon is getting stronger bit by bit and will soon be strong enough to blow people away. If we get blown off the island then, we'll truly be beyond saving," Long Xuan shouted at the crowd.
He looked into the distance of the sea with his Heavenly Mechanism Eye and saw that the tsunami in his line of sight was rushing towards Big Solitary Island at an extremely fast speed. He was terrified in his heart.
"Run! The tsunami is coming!" Long Xuan shouted angrily.
Although the Black Whirlwind Ghost Wind had weakened the wind force near the island, causing the height of the tsunami to drop by who knows how much, even a tsunami with a lower height was absolutely a disaster for humans. They absolutely could not stay on the shore.
Seeing that all the crew members had already disembarked, Long Xuan hurriedly put the Divine Dragon Ship into the Heart of the Ocean and then turned and ran.
Although the Heart of the Ocean could not be used inland, this was the edge of the ocean, and there was plenty of water vapor. The ability of the Heart of the Ocean was only weakened at the edge of the ocean, not to the point of being completely unusable.
Of course, once they reached the center of the island, the Heart of the Ocean would definitely be unusable.
If they wanted to take out the Divine Dragon Ship inside again, they could only walk to the edge of the ocean.
At this time, the port of Big Solitary Island was already packed with dense ships. The ships were large and small, and the largest ship was simply like a mountain crouching on the sea surface.
The port was already full, and the ships that couldn't squeeze in could only drop their anchors and connect to the previous ship with iron chains, resulting in ship after ship here.
Some ships bypassed the port and chose to land on the shore that was not suitable for docking. It was a race against time; at this moment, they couldn't care about so much.
Long Xuan's Divine Dragon Ship was in this situation, rushing directly into the shallow water area and forcing its way onto the shore by scraping the chassis. If it were an ordinary ship, it would have already fallen apart if it were driven like this.
At this time, people on the major ships were running for their lives to the shore. The crew members on the ships that couldn't dock on the shore could only jump into the sea like dumplings. The sound of splashing in the sea was constant, and everyone in the sea was swimming crazily towards the shore.
Their faces all revealed expressions of extreme terror, as if they were missing four legs.
Fortunately, when the Black Whirlwind Ghost Wind was at a distance from the shore, it suddenly turned. Although it destroyed a large number of ships far from the shore, the remaining ships near the shore and the Gu cultivators in the water were not affected by the Black Whirlwind Ghost Wind, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
However, they hadn't relaxed for long when the sky suddenly darkened at this moment. Everyone subconsciously looked up and saw a huge tsunami blocking the sun, rushing towards the shore at an extremely fast speed. Everyone opened their mouths wide, and their faces turned pale instantly.
At this moment, everyone in the sea was swimming towards the shore like crazy, their expressions ferocious, and many people revealed looks of despair.
No sooner said than done, just when all the Gu cultivators here were about to be swallowed by this huge tsunami, more than ten figures suddenly flew from the sky, flying straight towards the rushing tsunami.
In the shocked eyes of everyone, these ten or so people released one white cold thread after another from their hands. The cold threads extended into the tsunami, and the tsunami quickly froze with these cold threads as the center.
The ice spread at an astonishing speed. This huge tsunami was actually being frozen at an extremely fast speed. As the coverage area of the ice layer became larger and larger, the advance of the tsunami gradually slowed down.
Finally, just as the tsunami was about to push to the shore, the tsunami finally stopped.
And at the moment the tsunami stopped, the tsunami was completely covered by the ice layer. The sky-covering tsunami was frozen in an instant.
What appeared in everyone's sight was a huge ice wall lying on the water surface, with huge sea beasts frozen on it. The scene was extremely spectacular.
Along with it, the surging sea surface was also quickly frozen, spreading to the surroundings at an astonishing speed. Many Gu cultivators who couldn't get ashore in time were frozen, turning into one ice person after another.
Those with strong strength broke free from the shackles of the ice layer and ran ashore with brute physical strength.
Those with weak physical bodies could only be frozen there. Some were rescued and carried to the shore, while others were left unattended and could only be frozen there, welcoming them only death.
Those who were already on the shore looked at this scene with shocked eyes, and their hearts could not be calm for a long time.
The power of nature is terrifying, but someone could actually resist the power of nature, which is even more terrifying.
"It's the Leng Clan's Ice-Freezing Gu. I often hear that this elemental top-grade Gu worm is extremely terrifying and can freeze ten thousand miles. Seeing it today, it really lives up to its reputation. I'm also fortunate that the Leng Clan is on the island, otherwise, no one could stop this tsunami. Once the tsunami hits the shore, the number of people who die will be huge. At least half of the people on the island will be buried under this huge wave!"
"That's right, one of them is our Big Solitary Island's Island Lord. He is a once-in-a-millennium Ice Soul Body. In his hands, the Ice-Freezing Gu's power is more than ten times greater, otherwise, how could this tsunami be frozen so easily! Island Lord Leng can be considered a once-in-a-millennium genius on our island. Few people of the same level can rival his combat power. Only that mysterious captain of the Black Dragon Pirate Group can trade blows with our Island Lord!"
"So awesome? I heard that the Black Dragon Pirate Group also went to sea during this period. This time the Heavenly Wind came early, so they must have been unprepared. I don't know if the Black Dragon Pirate Group was destroyed by the Heavenly Wind. If the Black Dragon Pirate Group was wiped out by the Heavenly Wind, that would truly be a gratifying thing!"
"How could it be so easy? I heard that they went into the Death Sea Region to court death some time ago. Only Big Solitary Island and Small Solitary Island are closest to the Death Sea Region. Under the Heavenly Wind, they could only choose to land on these two islands. Now that Big Solitary Island is fine, they must have gone to Small Solitary Island. If Small Solitary Island is also fine, then the Black Dragon Pirate Group must have been buried in the sea, because except for these two islands, they have nowhere else to go!"
The Gu cultivators on the shore were discussing spiritedly. Because they escaped a disaster, everyone excitedly gossiped.
On another shore, an old man walked solemnly to the side of a handsome man in white, his face ugly as he said: "Island Lord, this is the last request for help sent from Small Solitary Island."
"The letter says that the Black Dragon Pirate Group has already invaded the island. They can only hold on for another half a day. If reinforcements don't arrive, all the families on the island will be wiped out!"
Everyone around was silent.
The Heavenly Wind was all around; how could they possibly get through? Even if there were no wind, it would take a fast ship a day to reach Small Solitary Island from Big Solitary Island. Half a day was far from enough.
"Sigh! When the lips are gone, the teeth are cold. Three days ago, Small Solitary Island already sent a request for help. We should have arrived." An old man sighed heavily.
Island Lord Leng Qianqiu said in a deep voice: "How can we not understand the principle that when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold? But the diviner on the island has already divined that the Heavenly Wind will come early. No family on the island dares to go to sea in these few days!"
"In this situation, Small Solitary Island is destined to be destroyed. We are powerless."
"It can only be said that this Heavenly Wind came at a bad time. An early Heavenly Wind caused the destruction of Small Solitary Island and also made my Big Solitary Island completely become a solitary island."
"Next, all families should prepare for battle. The price of them not sending troops is to fight the Black Dragon Pirate Group with the strength of one island. This is their own choice, and they can only bear the consequences."
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked, and their faces slowly became ugly.
"Does the Island Lord mean that the Black Dragon Pirate Group might take action against us?"
"The strength of our Big Solitary Island is not weak. Even without the help of Small Solitary Island, the overall combat power is weaker than the Sea Dragon Pirate Group."
"But it is impossible for them to swallow us without injury. Even if they take my Big Solitary Island, they will definitely have to pay the price of being severely damaged."
"What's more, I don't believe that Small Solitary Island didn't cause them any damage." Someone in the crowd said with a gloomy face.
"Hmph! Naive! It's not that the Black Dragon Pirate Group might attack Big Solitary Island; it's that they will definitely attack Big Solitary Island."
Leng Qianqiu looked at the person and said coldly: "The Black Dragon Pirate Group has been attacking the Death Sea Region. This is a long-term mission."
"So they urgently need an island closest to the Death Sea Region as a supply station, or even as their own lair."
"Otherwise, they have to go far to replenish supplies, go far to unload cargo, and go far to repair ships. Without a nearby island, they are inconvenient in everything they do and it is also a waste of time."
"So they must take down both Big Solitary Island and Small Solitary Island. The strategic significance of these two islands to the Black Dragon Pirate Group is too important. They will eat them up at all costs."
"Regardless of whether there is a Heavenly Wind this time, they will definitely take action against Small Solitary Island."
"And once Small Solitary Island falls, then Big Solitary Island will become a thorn in their side that must be removed."
"No faction can tolerate a nail in the back of their lair."
"Big Solitary Island is too close to Small Solitary Island. Once the Black Dragon Pirate Group heads to the Death Sea Region in large numbers, Big Solitary Island can complete a sneak attack on Small Solitary Island in just one day."
"How can the Black Dragon Pirate Group tolerate such an unstable factor in the rear?"
"Our existence will make them restless. If they don't wipe us out, they won't dare to go to sea easily."
"So the Black Dragon Pirate Group will definitely take action against Big Solitary Island, and the time for action will be after the Heavenly Wind stops."
"Because we are a nail, they don't dare to go to the Death Sea Region again. If they don't wipe out Big Solitary Island, they can't go anywhere."
"Even if they pay the price of being severely damaged, they must take down Big Solitary Island."
Once the Island Lord said this, everyone present was silent. Everyone had a gloomy face, and the atmosphere at the scene was very heavy.
What the Island Lord said made sense. The distance between Big Solitary Island and Small Solitary Island was too close. Either one doesn't move, or they all move together.
Once Small Solitary Island falls, Big Solitary Island cannot be spared in any case.
The fact that the Black Dragon Pirate Group will attack Big Solitary Island is a foregone conclusion. Next, they have a tough battle to fight.
However, facing such a powerful pirate group, everyone's confidence was seriously insufficient. The loss of Small Solitary Island made them have no confidence in this battle at all, and the scene was filled with a pessimistic atmosphere. (End of chapter)
