Chapter 976: The hiding place of artillery?(2/2)
“…!”
As I listened, I immediately recalled that when the middle-aged man went to the Iron-Medit King's room just now, I heard his last sentence, and seemed to say "Tianquan". I didn't care at all at that time. I realized after hearing what Xue Muhua said.
Tianquan is probably an island they occupied. Because its location corresponds to the Tianquan Star in the sky, it is called Tianquan Island.
I asked, "Is it Tianquan Island?"
When Xue Muhua heard this, he immediately nodded: "Yes, I heard that they said."
"Then, what happened to Tianquan Island?"
"It seems to be occupied."
"What?!"
I was shocked and stared at her with wide eyes: "Has someone occupied?"
Xue Muhua nodded, lowered his voice a little, and said softly: "They didn't tell me that I accidentally heard it when I came back. In this sea, besides them, there is another group of pirates. You should know that it is the group that was with you before."
I nodded quickly.
"That pirates are called the Sea Snake Gang. I heard that they have been active in this sea area for decades and make a living by looting the merchant ships. They burned, killed, looted, and did everything evil. The most hateful thing is that they robbed things and killed all the people on the robbed ships. The women were robbed back by them. The people on the sea were very afraid of them, and the elder brother hated them very much. Over the years, they have fought more than once or twice, and each suffered casualties."
"Um."
I was not surprised. When the pirates saw this ship, they immediately shouted the name "Flying Clouds Crossing the Sea" and immediately ordered the attack on them with the Iron-faced King, and knew that the two sides had a deep grudge.
I said, "You mean that those pirates occupied their nest - Tianquan Island?"
"It should be."
"What did they use that island for?"
"I don't know this. I have been on the boat all these days and have never been on that island. But——" Xue Muhua thought for a while and said, "Since it is their old nest, maybe it is the place where they live when they are not going to sea, or the place where they reserve food?"
"..." I didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
Although pirates are thieves at sea, they cannot really be on the island all their lives. They have to go to land to replenish food, clothing, and some essential daily necessities, and these things cannot be kept on the boat. Of course, they have to find a place to store them.
Even some pirates would hide their looted property on some hidden islands.
Therefore, there will inevitably be some Iron Face King’s assets on Tianquan Island.
For example: food, clothing, money...
even--
My heart pounded suddenly.
By the way, Florence cannon!
The batch of things was in his hands, but they were not seen on the ship. When they were dealing with the people from the Sea Snake Gang, they did not use the Flang machine cannon, which means that the cannon was not on the ship at all.
If a large number of things were not on the ship, he would have to find a place to hide. Is there anything else that could hide such a large number of artillery besides an island on the sea?
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a little trembling.
At the same time, my heart sank.
Oh no!
The Folang machine cannon is likely to be hidden on Tianquan Island, but now, Tianquan Island has been occupied by those evil pirates!
In case, they discovered the cannons-
I can't even think about the consequences!
Seeing my sudden terrified and pale face, Xue Muhua didn't know what happened, so he looked at me with a little worry and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you?"
"..." I looked up at her and shook my head: "I'm fine."
She sighed and said, "It seems that this ship is going to drive to Tianquan Island."
“…”
"We're going to get ashore, maybe it's a long time."
“…”
