Chapter 63: Devil Island (Part 1)
Tang Jieguang wore a sleeveless shirt, with the lower half of his body clad in a tattered pair of pants, looking like an utterly disheveled and wretched vagabond. However, his arms were long and powerful, his waist was slender, and the muscles on his body bulged and rippled, as if covered in a layer of warm, red soft armor under the gentle morning sunlight, his physique robust and majestic, leaving people breathless with admiration.
From a distance, his robust deltoids bulged high, his well-developed pectorals, strong biceps and triceps formed a magnificent muscle group that looked like a mountain range, with clear ridges and peaks, majestic and awe-inspiring.
As he walked closer, the lines that were as hard as a knife cut and axe chopped from Tang Jie's chest down suddenly converged to both sides, forming an upside-down triangle with his upper body.
His waist and abdomen, as well as his thighs, had a beautiful and hard curve, like the waves of the sea, sometimes sparkling with water droplets, sometimes rolling with waves, just like a masterpiece carved by a great master, every inch of muscle exuding the unique masculine beauty.
Tang Jie bowed his waist, grasping a sharpened wooden stick with both hands, his eyes sharp as knives, staring unblinkingly at the sea that reached his waist.
The sea breeze blew gently, the waves rolled in one after another, and Tang Jie was as still as a rock, without a single movement from head to toe.
Lilith crouched on a rock by the sea not far away, with one hand dragging her chin and two eyes staring blankly at Tang Jie. Her eyes kept turning around Tang Jie's shoulders, arms, chest and abdomen, as if it was strange why this man looked different from those men she knew.
In her impression, those male magicians were all physically slender, pale-skinned, and could be blown away by a gust of wind like matchsticks. Although there were also many robust and handsome magicians among them, the aura they exuded was more feminine than masculine, making them seem more like women than men.
As for those old magic instructors who have gone up in years and have a big handful of white whiskers under their chins, if they take off their clothes, that's just a living, walking skull.
When the treasure hunt of Atos temporarily fell, Lirielis, who had calmed down, began to curiously examine and study the differences between Tong Jie and those men she knew.
In Lirien's eyes, Tong Jie was far more robust than those frail magicians she knew. He seemed to be able to withstand any fierce storm, like a lighthouse at sea, though sometimes he would be battered by the raging wind and rain, his figure swaying precariously, yet he always managed to stand tall until the end of the tempest, laughing last, like a battle flag waving triumphantly amidst the ruins.
Lilith could feel that this person was emitting something she had never seen before, and she didn't know what it was or why she was drawn to it. She just felt that sometimes after daydreaming, her gaze would quietly fall on Tang Jie, looking at his sturdy physique, and she would feel a sense of calmness and tranquility surrounding her.
Of course, this was when Tang Jie was busy with his affairs. More often than not, little Ya Tou liked to revolve around Tang Jie because he always had endless jokes and numerous exciting ideas.
He is not only stronger than those magicians I know, but also more willing to play with me.
The little girl tilted her head, a shallow smile spreading across her face.
"Hey!" Dong Jie, who was in the sea, suddenly moved. His steady figure suddenly turned into a swift movement, his arms waving sharp wooden sticks and stabbing them fiercely into the sea.
When he pulled out the wooden stick again, a fat sea fish was already hanging on it.
"Caught it?" Lilies was surprised and delighted, jumping down from the rock face, revealing two white, tender little legs, happily running towards Tang Jie.
Tang Jie let out a triumphant "hahaha" and flashed his pearly whites, waving the homemade wooden spear around before handing it to Lilith: "I told you this would catch fish, didn't I? Don't you believe me now?"
"But the people I saw fishing were all using nets...” Lirien's eyes widened, her bright pupils curiously examining the sharp wooden pole, occasionally poking at the already pierced fish with her fingers.
"I want to try it too! I also want to give it a shot!" Lilith exclaimed, jumping up and down like a child who had just discovered a fun game.
Tang Jie took down the fish from the sharp wooden stick and smiled at Lirisi: "If you can catch a fish, I'll eat it raw!"
Lilith saw that Tang Jie looked down on her, so she wrinkled her nose and made a ghost face: "This is what you said, don't try to weasel out of it later!"
She finished speaking and excitedly rolled up her pant legs a bit higher, exposing part of her thighs. Lirien's magic robe had been torn to shreds in the successive battles and was no longer wearable, not to mention that there were two huge holes on her butt.
After going through this series of battles, Nia no longer resented Lilith as she used to. Although she was still indifferent to Lilith, she generously lent her clothes to Lilith and took off a set of sailor suits from the dead sailors, washed the bloodstains in seawater, and then put them on herself.
Lilith's height was a big difference from Niya, the pants she wore looked long and loose, usually putting down the pant legs, just like wearing a magic robe.
But this little girl now reveals her white and tender skin like jade, only to see that there is not a single hair on those two plump legs, just like two pieces of round Hanbai jade, making people want to hold them in the palm of their hand to carefully examine whether she has even a single pore.
Lilith carefully tested the temperature of the seawater before walking into it. Under the golden sunlight, Lilith's pale legs and her laughter that sounded like a silver bell made Tang Jie's eyes burn with excitement.
He smiled, but beneath his bright smile was a hint of hidden worry.
It has been two weeks since the curtain fell on the treasure hunt.
As Aramis and Porthos had fled in the confusion, they took their ships with them, while D'Artagnan's own ship was battered to pieces in the battle and lay beached on the rocky shores of Shipwreck Island, as helpless as a dying old man.
Tang Jie took Nia, William and Bill to try it out, only to find that they couldn't get the ship off the reef at all, let alone patch up the countless bullet holes and make it float again in the sea.
As a result, Tang Jie and Niya, William, Bill were at a loss for words, they found themselves trapped on this sunken ship island.
What can be done about it?
Tang Jie was very clear in his mind that since Alamusi and Bi Xiyou had both escaped, it was uncertain when they would gather their respective forces and return to the Sunken Ship Island.
The treasure of Pirate King Atos is right here, and they are also very clear that Tang Jie and his group have no way to escape, as long as they come again, Tang Jie will become a turtle in the urn.
For Tang Jie and the others who laughed to the end, they found Atos' treasure, one of the seven divine artifacts of the Sea God Tira, "Revered Blue", as long as they had a boat, they could take these treasures and flee far away.
The key issue is that, whether it's the gemstone worth tens of billions of gold coins left behind by Atos or the top-grade divine artifact "Revered Blue", their value pales in comparison to something else left behind by Atos.
Invincible Battleship Black Dragon King!
William once joked to Tangie, "This time, Bill and I got rich, Nina got a man she deeply loves, Lirien got an extraordinary divine weapon. But what about you, Captain? What did you get?"
Tang Jie smiled slightly and didn't say a word, but shifted his gaze onto the black giant egg that resembled a small mountain.
Heilongwang, and only this invincible Heilongwang in the ocean is the most precious treasure that Tang Jie wants to get!
The problem is that the Black Dragon King, currently in self-protection mode, is stranded on the sunken ship island without a magic crystal. It can't move even if 10,000 strongmen came to carry it away.
Even if they have a boat to go out to sea now, are they going to abandon the Black Dragon King here?
I ask you, someone as clever as Bisai Liu, may not have discovered the Black Dragon King the first time, but the second time, if he had enough time, wouldn't he still be able to discover the anomaly of this huge black egg?
Once Bi Sui Liu discovered the secret of Hei Long Wang, Tang Jie was equivalent to handing over Hei Long Wang to someone else, equivalent to handing over the dominance of the sea to someone else.
For Tang Jie who aspired to traverse the vast ocean, this was absolutely unacceptable.
The Black Dragon King is mine, no one else can take it!
Having figured this out, Tang Jie made a decision that left Nia and the others speechless.
"I'm going to turn this island into my fortress, into my base!" Tang Jie said, pointing at the desolate island beneath his feet.
"But Captain," Bill stuttered, "we're pirates, homeless pirates. If we settle in one place, it's easy to be surrounded and killed by our enemies."
Tang Jie hooked up the corner of his mouth: "That depends on where."
Hmmm, first update
