834 The Besieged Island
He was not willing to fight, and did not want to offend the Black Crow Clan too much, so he put up a defensive shield and led the team into the heavy rain, flying towards the green island floating hazy on the sea.
The heavy rain continued to fall, and the sea was covered in mist.
I could vaguely see a green island emerging in front of me. If I got closer, I could smell the aroma of green trees, which was refreshing. It was indeed a completely green island.
On this island, there are really giant trees, which are several feet tall, or even more than ten feet tall. Except for some small trees, most of the giant trees are as big as two people hugging each other. They are completely different from the trees on other islands. .
Jiang Shanghua was overjoyed. With such wood, larger merchant ships could be built.
They flew onto the island, and the trees under their feet had branches swaying in the violent storm, making the sound of leaves rustling. However, they saw lightning from the sky cracking down from time to time, and some trees in the distance fell to the ground, showing signs of scorch.
Thunder and lightning are concentrating on a high ground in the center of the island. The trees there seem to be the most huge. They are all big trees with more than three people surrounding them, and they roughly occupy the Lish land.
That was also the place that suffered the most damage. When a big tree fell, a large gap was exposed.
Jiang Shanghua took a look around and saw that the power of thunder and lightning in the sky was indeed not small and could not be resisted by himself. He then led his team into the woods, using the shelter of the trees to shuttle and fly to the high ground in the center of the island.
That should be an important area of Bi Island.
There is no sign of any inhabitants on this island, and not a single house is seen on the island that is about ten miles in radius.
All I could hear was thunder and lightning, and the rain was falling.
Just as they were looking around and groping forward, they heard a woman's scream above the treetops: "Who are you? Why did you break into Bi Island!"
Jiang Shanghua looked up and saw a woman wearing a black and white dress, shouting to them with wide eyes.
The woman was clinging to a tall shirt tree, as agile as a monkey. Three men in black and white clothes were also clinging to several nearby trees, staring at Jiang Shanghua and his party with wide eyes.
Jiang Shanghua recognized that this was a Woodpecker Immortal, but he had only a third level skill.
The other three were also Woodpecker Immortals, with only Level 2 skills. They stared at the warriors with vigilance, clinging to the tree with one hand, their bodies hanging in the rain in mid-air. There was already a burst of blue light in the other hand, ready to attack at any time!
These little immortals with powerful skills and status are not enough for Jiang Shanghua to deal with alone.
"Haha, I'm here to visit Bi Island." Jiang Shanghua said loudly: "Can you introduce me to the owner of the island?!"
The Woodpecker Fairy said loudly: "You are part of the Black Crow Clan?! It is absolutely impossible for us to give up Bi Island!"
Jiang Shanghua was stunned, quickly shook his head, and said: "We are not the Black Crow Clan, I am the envoy of the Imperial Capital Island! You should know these Leopard Warriors, right?!"
The Woodpecker Fairy asked: "Why did you come to the island owner?!"
Jiang Shanghua said loudly: "Of course there is something important. If it is delayed, I'm afraid you, a little fairy, won't be able to shoulder the responsibility!"
He was impatient with the little fairy's long-winded questioning, so he threatened him.
As expected, the Woodpecker Fairy panicked for a moment and was no longer as confident as he was at the beginning.
She looked behind her and said, "Okay, I'll take you to see the island owner. But your entourage must stay here!"
Jiang Shanghua nodded and left the Leopard Warrior in the forest. He rode the long-necked bird alone and flew to the high ground in the center of the island with the Woodpecker Fairy.
They passed through the dense forest, and as they got closer to the central forest, thunder and lightning roared more violently above their heads. The lightning even penetrated into the high dense forest and struck the roots of the trees.
In the distance is a huge tree that was knocked down by lightning. It was cut off at the waist several feet above the ground. The fracture was burnt charcoal black. It was obviously knocked down by lightning. It was all fine wood with a dense texture.
"Why doesn't your island owner protect his own forest?!" Jiang Shanghua said with a pity.
The Woodpecker Immortal said: "The strength on the island is insufficient. Apart from us Woodpecker Immortals, there are also a few Tree Immortals whose cultivation level is only around level four. We cannot fight against the Black Crow Clan."
"Why are they besieging Bidao?!" Jiang Shanghua asked: "Are they going to occupy Bidao?!"
The Woodpecker Fairy nodded and said: "Yes. They sent a few black crow warriors to negotiate and share Bi Island with us. Naturally, the island owner refused, so they sent a large army to surround us. Alas..."
Jiang Shanghua looked at the lightning and thunder in the sky, and estimated that there were about a thousand Black Crow Warriors outside. If he united with the tree fairies on the island, they should be able to repel them. The experience of Meizhou Island last time gave him a better chance of fighting against the Black Crow Warriors.
You must understand.
While he was calculating in his mind, he thought: The Black Crow Clan has occupied Kongkong Island, and if they want to expand to Bi Island, the Imperial Capital Island may not know about it yet. I will organize them to resist for a while, and then report to Princess Ouyan. At least get some first.
Wood can be used to build several boats, and the journey is not in vain.
The two shuttled through the forest without feeling that the terrain was rising, and gradually flew closer to the central forest.
They flew among the giant trees, all of which were more than ten feet high. Because the forest trees had dense branches and leaves, they completely blocked the salty smell of the ocean, leaving only the aroma of the leaves here.
If it weren't for the thunder and lightning in the sky, this would definitely be a pleasant place.
At this time, the Woodpecker Fairy pointed his finger in the air and said: "This is the residence of the island owner and his family."
Jiang Shanghua looked up and saw that it was a forest of fir trees. There were huge fir trees surrounding more than five people, including redwoods, giant sequoias, and spruce trees.
He thought there was something wrong with his eyesight, because when he looked up, he could only see a leaf swaying, and he couldn't see his head at all. Through the rain and fog, he could vaguely see a group of bird's nest-shaped sheds hanging on the trunk of the tree. About 100 meters away
The ground is ten feet high.
No wonder the Black Crow tribe concentrated their attacks on the central area, probably to destroy the residences of these tree gods. These tree gods actually live high in the trees, which is of course the place to be beaten.
The Woodpecker Fairy said: "That is the residence of the giant sequoia god. There are also redwood gods and spruce gods on the island, and they also live in this forest."
Jiang Shanghua looked at the dense forest in the distance, and followed the woodpecker fairy slowly flying up into the sky. When he flew ten feet high, he still couldn't see the sky outside!
He took a breath and thought: How tall would these giant sequoia trees be? I'm afraid they must be thirty feet high?! In this case, the abode of the giant sequoia gods is still at the bottom of the giant sequoia trees.
At this time, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, like a bayonet flashing into the giant sequoia forest.
As soon as I saw the giant sequoia swaying for a while, the branches suddenly intercepted it, blocking the path of the lightning to continue to fall. High in the rain and fog, bursts of light exploded, but the lightning was blocked by the giant sequoia branches and was exhausted.
It seems that the knocked down fir trees of more than ten feet outside are still small trees compared to these giant fir trees!
Jiang Shanghua was amazed and flew close to the bird's nest.
The bird's nest has turned into a huge bird's nest with a diameter of more than five feet. It is made entirely of leaves and dead branches and surrounds the giant sequoia tree.
Immortal Woodpecker was about to speak when he heard a kind voice coming from inside, saying: "Is there someone from Imperial Capital Island? Please come in quickly."
The Woodpecker Fairy said: "Yes, Giant Sequoia God. Someone from Imperial Capital Island."
She pushed open the door made of branches, and the two of them flew into the huge bird's nest.
The bird's nest is a round sphere, surrounded by a giant sequoia tree. The inner walls are covered with reed mats to protect against rain and sun.
This is a fairyland built with tree materials and mixed with divine power. It only uses more physical materials and less magic power. Therefore, the bird's nest is filled with the fragrance of plants.
Jiang Shanghua let the long-necked bird soak in the rain outside and use it as a bath.
After he stood still, he saw three old wicker chairs placed next to the central tree trunk of the bird's nest. Three gray-haired old men were sitting on the chairs.
They looked at the visitor with calm eyes. It seemed that the thunder and lightning rumbling outside and the falling trees did not disturb their inner peace at all.
Jiang Shanghua also scanned the three people and estimated that they were hundreds of years old.
He held up his hands and said: "I am Jiang Shanghua from the Cultivation Temple. Thanks to the respect of Imperial Island, I have been appointed as the master of Meizhou Island and Yueya Island. I am also a disciple of the Imperial Academy of Elders."
He added a lot of titles to himself, naturally to show that his status was definitely no lower than these three old people.
The old man sitting in the middle stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Heroes really come from youth. The three of us have lived for a thousand years. Whenever I see the younger generation of you crossing the sea, I really admire you."
Jiang Shanghua was shocked when he realized that these three tree gods were actually a thousand years old.
He coughed and said, "It turns out they are three old gods. I'm rude to you, this junior."
He looked sanctimonious and said something so modestly, which won everyone's favor.
The Woodpecker Fairy pointed to the old man in the center and said: "This is the Giant Sequoia God and the owner of Bi Island. This is the Sequoia God, and this is the Spruce God."
The giant sequoia god wears a brown robe, the sequoia god wears a red robe, and the spruce god wears a white robe.
The Giant Sequoia God pointed to a wicker chair next to him and said: "Our place is remote and there are very few visitors. Lord Wong, please sit down and let's chat slowly."
The Sequoia God said: "Woodpecker Fairy, please send some fruits to the warriors and take them to shelter from the rain and rest."
The woodpecker fairy flew out of the bird's nest.
***
Facing three thousand-year-old immortals, Jiang Shanghua actually felt a little restrained.
However, he quickly adjusted his mood and still maintained a condescending attitude, saying: "I am here to ask for some wood. The Imperial Capital Island has asked me to handle inter-island trade and build several large ships."
He briefly explained the situation of trade between the islands and his plan to build ships.
