Finally, Zhu Xiaobao was relieved. From this point of view, the interior of the 'Sacred Image Island' was considered safe, and these remnants of soldiers were not allowed to enter the 'Sacred Image Island'.

These towering city walls should have been built only in the past few years.I don't know who is so foresighted to build such a strong and thick city wall in just a few years.

"Stop first! Let's go around the 'Icon Island'! See what's going on?" Zhu Xiaobao didn't intend to enter the 'Icon Island' first, but invited Mo Dayou out.After all, he still has too little experience of life in this vast sea.And now I don't know what happened!

"That's not right! This should never be the key area where the conflict between the East Region and the Southwest Region occurred. It should have been blown away from the course by the strong storm these days, so it was forced to drive to this area..." Mo Dayou carefully He looked at the chart and said with certainty.

"Then who is the Dacheng Kingdom in the southwest region fighting with? It doesn't seem like it's fighting those pirates, right? So many warships?" Zhu Xiaobao felt relieved, but still asked with doubts.

"This... this...it's hard to say! Didn't you hear Master Zhonglai repeatedly told you to consolidate the situation on the 'Island of Icons' before leaving? I think it's hinted!" Mo Dayou After all, he is old and mature, and he can understand Master Zhonglai's words very well.

"Damn it! I don't make it clear. I always like to say half and half. Is this considered a master?" Zhu Xiaobao scolded angrily, and then ordered in a very uncomfortable way: "Turn around, first surround the 'Icon Island' 'Go around! See what's going on!"

In fact, this is also a helpless move. The beach in front is full of remnants and defeated soldiers, and the shore is also full of damaged warships. It may be possible to lean on it, but if you want to enter the 'Icon Island', I am afraid it will cause those The remnants of the defeated generals flocked to the gate.Otherwise, the top of the city wall will not be ready.

It was the severe winter season, and what these remnants and defeated generals needed most was food and heating.Fortunately, there are Sha Kun and Yin Tong sitting in the 'Icon Island', so it should be enough to handle it!

'Icon Island' is almost in the shape of a triangle, and to the north is a stretch of high-cong reefs standing straight up and down, forming a natural barrier.And it was this barrier that just blocked the violent wind and waves from north to south this time.

Now Zhu Xiaobao is facing the tidal flat in the southwest.After he turned around, he followed the chart markings, thinking all the way to the southeast, which is the other side of the 'Icon Island', and the situation is more dangerous, but the tidal flats along the coast are relatively short. Excluding many reefs, there are only seven Eighty miles.According to the current size, the 'Icon Island' covers an area of ​​[-] square kilometers, and what can be effectively used is only [-] square kilometers!

So after the warship sailed for a while, it turned to turn to the northeast after driving for a long time, and it also turned to sail against the wind!The speed also dropped significantly.

Along the way, you can still see corpses floating over and the wreckage of warships, and there are even a lot of manatee corpses pulling the warships. Due to the cold weather, many corpses have already formed a layer of ice on the surface, which is hard...

Fortunately, these guards of Zhu Xiaobao have relatively high cultivation bases, almost all of them are in the cultivation base of the Transformation God Realm and the Composite Body Realm, so they can still withstand this extremely bad weather and low temperature.And the two sea giant crocodiles pulling the warship even more

It has been screened, and it doesn't seem to care much about this climate!Still swimming fast!

There are not many places where warships can dock on the northeast coast of 'Icon Island', because there are many hidden reefs, and the terrain is complicated, and the wind and waves here are more violent, which is not suitable for large-scale operations.

But just at this moment, Zhu Xiaobao had already seen several warships in front of him being chased and intercepted by more than [-] pirate ships, and the chased warship belonged to Dacheng Kingdom.

Taking a closer look, Zhu Xiaobao was a little surprised. The flagship who fled to the front was actually an old acquaintance Dongguo Jianbing who was commanding the battle, and the one who was desperately shooting at the stern was not Dongguo Jianbing His fourth son Dong Guoyingxiu!

Obviously, the soldiers on the warships of the Dacheng Kingdom were unwilling to fight, or they had no fighting spirit at all. If it weren't for several commanders who supervised the battle, they might not even be able to display their current combat effectiveness!

Zhu Xiaobao's warship stopped, and he was considering whether to help Dong Guo Jianbing.After all, it is also from Dacheng Kingdom. Although there were many gaps in the past, it does look a bit miserable now!

While Zhu Xiaobao was hesitating, the warship that hadn't reached Dongguo Jianbing had already fled all the way to Zhu Xiaobao.Not to mention that his warships are also two sea giant crocodiles, they run quite fast, but very few warships can keep up with him, while the other two enemy ships are chasing closely. He is eyeing Dong Guo Jianbing.

Through the binoculars, it can be clearly seen that there are two cultivators at the peak of true martial arts on each of the two ships of the opponent, and they are chasing and killing Dongguo Jianbing at full speed.

Suddenly, Dong Guo Jianbing couldn't believe his eyes. Not far in front of him, he saw a familiar chubby face!Seeing this face at this time, Dongguo Jianbing turned out to be very excited, and even felt a little bit like seeing a relative!

"Zhu Xiaobao! You are...Zhu Xiaobao! Quick, quick, quick, help me!" Dong Guo Jianbing didn't care about his identity at this time, he opened his voice and shouted loudly, dancing excitedly Waving……

"Hehe! It's really an accident, City Lord Dongguo, are you all right?" Zhu Xiaobao also pretended to be surprised and asked, clapping his hands.

"Hi! Zhu Xiaobao, don't you see how I am? Don't look at my jokes! They are all from Dacheng Kingdom, so let's make it public first! When I have time, I will make a special trip to compensate you!" Dong Guo Jianbing Spreading his hands, he said anxiously and annoyed.

"Huh? Who are they? They can defeat so many of your navy? Are the pirates really powerful now?" Zhu Xiaobao was also a little surprised. It's a pleading look!It has nothing to do with the old cunning and cunning of the past!He is really in a hurry!

"It wouldn't be like this if it were pirates! They are several forces joining forces and want to capture our Dacheng country!" Dong Guo Jianbing shouted in a hurry.On the one hand, people approached Zhu Xiaobao as quickly as possible.In his opinion, Zhu Xiaobao is the only one who can help him through the crisis now!

"Who! Don't interfere with the business of the 'Pirate Alliance'. If you pass by, get out of here quickly, so as not to get into trouble!" The two practitioners on a pirate ship who were chasing after him also saw Zhu Xiaobao's The warship immediately issued a stern warning.

"Oh! I don't

It's passing by, I live on this island, it seems that your warship invaded my territory, right? "Zhu Xiaobao looked at the other party, and then responded very dissatisfied.

"What? Invaded your territory? Tell you, in front of our 'Pirate League', you have to lie down if you are a dragon, and you have to lie down if you are a tiger, let alone a fat man like you... wait...you are... ...Are you that 'Supreme Treasure'?" The two leading cultivators immediately shouted arrogantly, but then they suddenly remembered something and asked in a little panic.

"Hmm! That's right, can you get out now?" Zhu Xiaobao nodded and asked.

"Humph! Supreme Treasure? Only at the real martial arts realm? Boss, don't listen to him, look at their clothes are from the Dacheng Kingdom! Let's do it? Once you catch Dongguo Jianbing, it will be a miracle! More What's more, there are..." on his ship, the second son of the pirate leader was also lost in his mind by wealth and sex, so he was still thinking about wealth and beauty at this moment!Dare Dong Guo Jianbing came out and brought two concubines, so as not to be too boring at sea. What's more, when the war started, his two concubines were still turning up to cheer for him, which led to Special attention!

"Hmph! Bold maniac, this is not only the owner of 'Icon Island', but also the owner of Wushuang City! Master Zhu Xiaobao who is unparalleled in combat power and can kill people by leapfrogging! Get out of here!" Dong Guo Jianbing The recovery also shouted sharply.He is very good at talking, and immediately put two high hats on Zhu Xiaobao.The main thing is to scare the opponent away.In fact, he didn't have much confidence in Zhu Xiaobao.There are two warships on the other side, but there are four cultivators of "True Martial Realm"!

"Boss, second brother, why did you stop? Could it be that you want to give up the old man's two concubines to us? Hahahaha..." Another enemy ship also chased after him. Has stopped, immediately ecstatic.

"Hmph! This little fat man said that he is the owner of this island, that Supreme Treasure?" At this moment, the boss said hesitantly.He is the oldest, so he is also the most cautious in doing things. I always feel that Zhu Xiaobao is too calm!I faintly feel some bad feeling in my heart!

"Hahahaha! What Supreme Treasure? If he didn't mention it, I would have almost forgotten it. Now that he said it, he reminded me. When the fight here is over, we will go to the island. I heard that there are really some stunning beauties on the island." Oh!" The fourth pirate shouted with wild laughter, and looked hard at the gold and silver rings behind Zhu Xiaobao with malicious intentions.These two fat girls are also very pleasing to the eye, such a fat and strong figure, warm in winter and cool in summer, very rare!

"Hmph! Originally, I wanted to be lenient, but your words ruined the lives of the few of you!" Zhu Xiaobao suddenly darkened his face and snorted coldly.

"Come on! Come on! Let me have a try with these two fat girls first! See if it can kill me! I guess it is possible in bed! Hahahaha..."

"coax!"

All the pirates on the two pirate ships burst into laughter, and some of them were even ready to sit down and watch a good show!

"Huh! You are not enough! You come together too!" Unexpectedly, Jin Huan and Yin Huan took off their coats, dressed in strong clothes, showing half of their belly, and hooked their fingers at the third pirate, humming domineeringly. road.

"Enough! I like it! Here it comes..."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The most terrible thing is, the old three and the fourth, who didn't know what to do, even jumped onto the bow of Zhu Xiaobao's boat, and were about to reach out to Jinhuan and Yinhuan, but they were surrounded by two fat girls .At first, the two of them were playful and smiling, but after only three moves, they felt that something was wrong!

These two fat girls are too enthusiastic, too clingy, too slippery, and too fat!The battle circle of four people was squeezed into a small space, unable to use it?The most terrible thing is this kind of close hand-to-hand combat. The two of them are completely at a disadvantage. At this time, it is already a luxury to retreat and keep a certain distance!

"Third brother, get out of the way, you're squeezing me! I can't even reach out!"

"Fart, I didn't move at all! Oh, you fucking, did you really squeeze it? Fuck, is it bleeding?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, my mouth can't even breathe...yoyoyo! It hurts me to death..."

"Don't worry! I'm happy to be behind!"

Zhu Xiaobao saw that the gold ring and silver ring had already made a move, so he ignored it. Instead, he turned his head and stared at the pirate's second child. With half a staff, he cast a 'dark art', Suddenly it was dark on the leading pirate ship...

"Not good! This is the 'darkness' spell, he is really the Supreme Treasure!" The pirate boss shouted in horror.Hurry up and want to use the 'Skill of Light' to crack it, but his skills are much worse. As soon as he turned on a little light, he was overwhelmed by Zhu Xiaobao's second level of 'Skill of Darkness'!

The soldiers on Dongguo Jianbing's warship and Zhu Xiaobao's female guards immediately seized the opportunity to shoot arrows into the darkness...

When the pirate boss cast the 'Light Art' again, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. Most of the pirates on his ship had been shot dead, and even the second pirate was shot in the shoulder!

"Boss! It was my fault, let's run!" The second child said with difficulty, clutching his wound.

"No! The old man and the fourth child are still there..." the pirate boss shouted anxiously.

"I don't have time to care about them! If we don't leave, we will die here!" The second pirate didn't have any brotherhood at all, he just wanted to run for his life!

The pirate boss looked back and saw that the third child and the fourth child had been devastated to the point of being inhuman. Both of them had big heads, and their eyes were swollen and narrowed. The seven orifices were bleeding. Three has broken an arm!And the fourth child was even worse, both of his thighs were trampled and broken!Moreover, he watched as Jin Huan and Yin Huan were pulling on the third's legs, one on the left and one on the right, and were about to tear them in half!

"No! You can't do this! You...you will die..." The boss suddenly roared heart-piercingly.And the second child beside him was so frightened that his legs became weak, and he almost collapsed on the deck of the ship!

Suddenly there was another 'dark art' that enveloped another pirate ship. Dongguo Jianbing and Zhu Xiaobao's subordinates immediately fired ten thousand arrows at the pirate ship shrouded in darkness.It was the first time that Dongguo Jianbing's subordinates fought so smoothly, they completely took the initiative and shot one-sidedly!And just a quarter of an hour ago, they were still extremely passive, and they seemed to be trapped in this kind of darkness, being shot by their opponents.

kill!

"Hurry up, hurry up...run away! I can only run first!" The pirate boss really didn't want to rescue the two brothers this time, he just wanted to escape from this place of killing as soon as possible!

But he pulled the reins several times, but the sea giant crocodile in front of the bow did not respond at all, so the pirate boss and second child hurried to the bow to have a look.I saw that at some point, Zhu Xiaobao had already stood on top of a giant sea crocodile, and even patted the giant sea crocodile lightly. This giant sea crocodile seemed to see its owner, and unexpectedly Lie there obediently, motionless!

"Don't run away! As I said, the four of you don't want to leave alive! Hurry up and unleash your weapons!" Zhu Xiaobao raised his head at this moment, and said lightly.

"You... do you really want to kill them all?" the pirate boss asked a little unwillingly.

"Hehe! I'm afraid, I'm afraid that you will always think about the beauties on the island, they are all my wives! So in order to avoid future troubles, I must kill you!" Zhu Xiaobao said with good reasons.

"Oh! Retribution! This is the retribution for doing too much evil in your daily life!" The pirate boss sighed, stretched out his hand, put the sword in his hand across his neck, and killed himself with a gritted teeth!

"Boss! I...I'll fight with you guys!" The pirate's second child was even more terrified when he saw the boss committing suicide!But he didn't even have the courage to commit suicide, so he rushed up screaming...

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, a jade corpse appeared in front of the pirate's second child, and his internal organs were completely shattered with just one slap. Before the scream could be heard, the second pirate's body was already dead!

After a while, Dongguo Yingxiu had already led people to the two pirate ships, and after cleaning up the mess, all the remaining pirates were killed, which was considered a breath of anger.

"Lord Supreme Treasure, please help us for a while, and rescue all our warships that were hunted down!" Dong Guo Jianbing saluted again and again in fear and fear. In the face of absolute strength, he could no longer compete with the others. Little Treasure is putting on airs of the city lord again!The strength shown by Zhu Xiaobao is enough to destroy all of them!

"Lead the way!" Zhu Xiaobao didn't talk nonsense, since he has already made a move, let's do the good thing to the end!Besides, he also needs to have a good understanding with Dong Guo Jianbing, what is the situation!

Turning the hull, the three warships galloped away immediately, and it was still with the wind, so it would be even faster!In less than half an hour, the only remaining four warships under Dong Guo Jianbing's command were seen, one of which was still on fire, and the soldiers on board were jumping into the sea one after another!As for the remaining three, the pirates had already taken them onto the warship, and they were about to be wiped out!

"Kill! Avenge my brothers!" I didn't expect that Dongguo Jianbing's warship would go back and forth. What's even more unbelievable is that all the soldiers on the warship seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, like a tiger descending the mountain. It makes people confused, who is the winning side?

But after all, there are more than a dozen warships on one's own side, and only six warships on the other side (including Zhu Xiaobao's), but the situation is overwhelmingly overwhelming.What's even more unbelievable is that several pirate ships started to burn, and in just a short moment, the entire ship turned into a sea of ​​flames!And some pirate ships

It was thousands of black god bees flying around, and the soldiers who were biting were crying for their parents and jumping into the sea one after another!

At this moment, more than [-] warships came up from behind the Pirate Alliance.The two idiots, Sha Jiling and Tumei, are on the leading flagship station. They are rotating a big hammer. With one hammer, they can smash a pirate ship into a water leak!

And there are more pirate ships being frozen, no need to ask, this must be the work of the green fairy!Several pirate leaders from the 'True Martial Realm' were frozen into ice sculptures in an instant!

"It's too strong! It's too strong! It's simply unbelievably powerful!" Dong Guo Jianbing shook his head and sighed.

This round of killing seemed to be devastating, sweeping everything away, it came so suddenly, these warships of the Pirate Alliance did not react at all, and they were completely defeated!

It turned out that when Zhu Xiaobao decided to make a move, he had already released the Fire Golden Bee and notified the people on the 'Icon Island', that's why a large number of reinforcements appeared in such a timely manner!They are all highly cultivated comprehension practitioners!

Dong Guojian was most in awe of Zhu Xiaobao. Today Zhu Xiaobao showed an extremely fierce killing spirit. When he arrived here, he beheaded three cultivators in the "True Martial Realm" .No!It should be said that he was beaten to death by that jade corpse!The remaining fifteen pirate ships were wiped out in less than half an hour!

"Thank you... Supreme Treasure... my lord!" Dongguo Jianbing hurriedly brought his son Dongguo Yingxiu to Zhu Xiaobao and gave a deep salute when the victory was confirmed. He said in fear and fear.

This time, Dongguo Yingxiu didn't even have the courage to look up at Zhu Xiaobao. At the beginning, he was still a big realm higher than Zhu Xiaobao, but looking at it now, he was already a big higher than him. The realm!The key is that Zhu Xiaobao's combat power is terrifying, and he can even leapfrog to kill people!

"Put your troops there, you guys can follow me into the island!" Zhu Xiaobao simply returned the salute, and then said in a non-negotiable tone.

"Yes yes yes! You don't have to hurry up and take the troops there!" Dong Guo Jianbing said to his soldiers quickly.

"Hmm! I'm afraid the men under his command have run out of ammunition and food, right?" Zhu Xiaobao looked at the soldiers whose faces were covered with blood, and they were all staring at him anxiously and asked.

"Ah! It's just... the continuous storm these days has long since run out of food, otherwise I wouldn't have been beaten so embarrassingly by them!" Dong Guo Jianbing said with his head bowed in embarrassment.

"I will send people to bring food and water later, as well as necessary heating! But because there are too many of you, you can only live on the tidal flats! When the supplies are replenished, you should go back to Dacheng as soon as possible. !" Zhu Xiaobao thought for a while and said.

Before Dongguo Jianbing could speak, the soldiers began to cheer. What they need most is food and water, and the next thing is heating!The victory of this battle has allowed them to seize ten warships, and it is not difficult to station them there!

Like the moon, everyone welcomes Zhu Xiaobao back to the 'Sacred Image Island'.Even the gates of the city were wide open, and all the heavyweights from the entire island came out to welcome them.The most conspicuous among them turned out to be a big fat man——the senior brother picked up by Zhu Xiaobao—Fu Asheng!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

As soon as he saw Fu Asheng, Zhu Xiaobao's heart warmed up. This senior brother he picked up has always been his noble person, and he has been doing his best to help him!If there is any purpose, it can only be said that Fu Asheng's vision surpasses everyone!

"Aha! Brother, it's really great that you're here too!" Zhu Xiaobao changed his aloof attitude just now, and rushed forward excitedly and enthusiastically, holding Fu'a Sheng's hand shouted!Originally, I wanted to have a big hug, but Fu'a was born in such a body that even the two little treasures couldn't hug her!

"Hahahaha! Junior brother, Brother Wei misses you! Haha, you are all at the 'True Martial Realm'! Sure enough, Brother Wei saw you right!" Fu Asheng laughed happily, so many people, Zhu Xiaobao was the first one to come to greet him, which already made Fu Asheng extremely proud!

Zhu Xiaobao and Fu Asheng joined hands to enter the 'Island of Icons'.Only then did Zhu Xiaobao realize that there were many people standing behind Fu Asheng, all of whom were familiar to him!Sha Kun and Yintong were beside Fu Asheng, looking at Zhu Xiaobao and Sha Jiling and Tumei who were following behind Zhu Xiaobao with a smile on his face. He felt relieved that his silly son could follow Zhu Xiaobao up!The strength that Zhu Xiaobao showed now made Sha Kun and Yintong very fortunate to be in Zhu Xiaobao's camp.In the future, I can only rely on Zhu Xiaobao's strength to recover the family fiefdom and revive the Sha family!

Behind them are Wanshitong and Luxian'er, who are the real managers of the 'Icon Island' today.To Zhu Xiaobao's surprise, Su Yan'er was quietly standing behind Luxian'er, looking at Zhu Xiaobao quietly!Zhu Xiaobao was even more surprised by her side, it turned out to be Fairy Ziyu from Caiyimen, who was also watching Zhu Xiaobao quietly...

And here, following behind Zhu Xiaobao, Dongguo Jianbing, who originally wanted to maintain his status as the lord of the 'Dongzi City', is now following everyone with his head down in despair, without any confidence at all. what!Don't look at this 'Island of Icons' is not half the size of 'East Purple City', but who are those people standing in front of them?What kind of cultivation?It is no exaggeration to say that these people can easily destroy the 'East Purple City', and he, the city lord, is only at the 'True Martial Realm'. In terms of background, there are still two 'false fairylands' in the family. 'The elders!But he also practiced in closed doors all year round, not caring about worldly affairs...

Entering the 'Icon Island', Dongguo Jianbing was amazed once again. Unexpectedly, a small island that was barren and desolate before is now full of vitality, with houses and farms everywhere, smooth roads extending in all directions, and the people on the street It is also a face of peace and satisfaction!

What is even more exaggerated is that although Zhu Xiaobao came back suddenly and was not notified in advance, almost everyone cheered loudly with spontaneous joy and excitement, and bowed down a large area, making Zhu Xiaobao I feel very surprised...

There are more people, who are moving after hearing the wind, are coming in droves, and they are all flocking here!As a last resort, Zhu Xiaobao had no choice but to let the driver drive to the 'Statue of the Gods' first. Since he wants to worship, there is only a large square here, which can accommodate so many people!

Sure enough, as more and more people gathered, the entire square was filled with darkness, crowded with people, and the small

Bao clearly felt that the power of faith was growing rapidly!With a wave of his hand, Zhu Xiaobao's back emitted endless light, comparable to the sunshine directly opposite!People on the left and right can feel it, but this kind of soft light makes everyone feel warmer. The temperature that was originally thought to be very cold, now actually feels like being bathed in a soft and warm environment...

Standing aside, Fu Asheng was absolutely shocked. Although he had known about the statue of the 'Supreme Treasure' for a long time, he had never worshiped it, because he did not believe in these western magic and exercises.And worshiping him as him is a bit of a loss!But now he can clearly feel the real power of faith!It is even more unbelievable that so many people worship Zhu Xiaobao so much!

At this time, Zhu Xiaobao was also full of excitement. He never thought that he would have such a high prestige. This kind of power of faith is several times or dozens of times deeper than that accumulated by the previous great leader... even A hundred times!

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, it took Zhu Xiaobao two hours to return to the majestic 'Island Lord's Mansion', which was also expanded on the original basis. With a moat, it looks more like a small independent castle!There are two teams of heavily armed guards standing at the door!

"Huh! I haven't been back for several years, and it has changed so much? Lao Wan, how many people have grown up in 'Icon Island' now?" It took Zhu Xiaobao a long time to come back to his senses, and then he was sure that this was his residence!Can't help but turn around and ask.

"Sir Supreme Treasure! There are a total of 230 people registered in the 'Icon Island' now! There are also 530 people temporarily staying here! If you count today's..." At this time, Wanshitong fully demonstrated his management ability, reported the number of people clearly, and prepared a lot of data according to the appearance...

"Stop! For other data, just write a report for me. You don't need to report it now! Unexpectedly, there are already more than 200 million people! How can it increase so fast?" Zhu Xiaobao was a little unbelievably amazed Dao, when he left, the number of people in 'Icon Island' was just over 100 million. He didn't expect that it would double in just a few years...

After everyone settled down, Zhu Xiaobao announced his first order after returning to the island: rest for the night and hold a big banquet tomorrow, which can be regarded as a cleansing for himself!In fact, it's a bit like a feast for the ministers!

Of course, Zhu Xiaobao didn't need to do the next thing himself, on the contrary, he had many more maids and eunuchs around him, and what surprised him was that Huang Yuyu was the head servant, wearing a set of eunuch's official attire, looking excited busy...

"Fuck! Why do I feel like I'm on the throne? I'm not used to it!" Zhu Xiaobao whispered to Lu Xian'er, Su Yan'er and others at this time, hugging left and right.

"Hmph! It's not your chief manager, but also Master of Everything. They insist on doing this, saying that this is the only way to show your noble status! Are you beautiful in your heart?" Lu Xian'er curled her lips and snorted.Su Yaner's face was blushing, but she was a little shy suddenly being hugged by Zhu Xiaobao in front of so many maids and eunuchs, so she didn't even have the nerve to say anything...

"
