No, not just them, but the entire Xiao family and the Southern Territory, they have seriously underestimated the strength of Xuanhuo Island.
This is also thanks to the careful layout of Rong Zhao and the previous generations of island owners.
They had already expected that one day the group of people in the Southern Territory would not be able to resist temptation and attack them.
As the saying goes, there is reality within the imaginary and there is imaginary within the reality. The key to victory is to make the opponent confused about your own strength.
So they have been quietly doing one thing over the years, which is to cut off all the resources on the island.
How to cut?
Although everyone looks up and down all day long, few people can give a specific number as to how many people there are on the island.
This is because the previous generations of island owners had already foreseen the current situation.
People's hearts are fickle. Although they have been taught since childhood that they must love Xuanhuo Island and be loyal to their ancestors, there is nothing anyone can do to guarantee that there will be no traitors like them, and there will never be fewer traitors like them in the past.
There are so many people on the island, and they have no way to ensure that everyone is screened, and there is no way to ensure that everyone is loyal, so in order to prevent this situation, they reserve personnel or some supplies on the island
The situation has been cut.
Even if a thoughtful person wanted to find out, he wouldn't be able to find out for a while, and most people on the island would not intentionally inquire about such a thing.
As for the remaining islanders, everyone knows very well that it is not very important to them how many people are on the island or how much supplies are on the island.
They just need to do their part and listen to the island owner's instructions.
So in this way, they only need to ensure the loyalty of their successors.
This is much simpler than ensuring the loyalty of so many people outside.
Therefore, currently, except for Rong Zhao, Grandma Yinhua, and Tie Xinlian, who was trained by them as their next successor, no one knows exactly how many people there are on the island.
How many of them are young adults who can take up arms to fight them, how many are elderly people who can fight them to the death, and how many are children who will be protected.
As for the traitor standing next to the Huo family, he had been kicked out of Xuanhuo Island twenty years ago.
And even he himself didn't know that much about the situation on the island, not to mention that it had been so long.
He was able to remember that road and bring people in because they had captured several young people who had left Xuanhuo Island in recent years.
The young people were still full of vigilance at the beginning. It was only after he played many games that he was able to trick a lot of information out of the mouths of those young people bit by bit.
But in the past generations of island owners, there are
Intentionally misleading, the situations described by these young people are all false and one-sided.
Therefore, they thought they had grasped the information on Xuanhuo Island.
Little did they know, they had only seen the tip of the iceberg.
There were only a few hundred people, let alone the people on the island. Even Lin Mengya and the people on the boat could torture them several times.
Although there are thousands of people waiting outside, the road they took is the farthest and most tortuous. Whether they can get in in time is a problem, let alone help.
Of course, the premise is that the situation on the island is not so chaotic.
If Lin Mengya and the others were not here, just that big monster that was different and could climb onto the shore to eat people would be enough to catch the people on Xuanhuo Island off guard.
If the Xiao family suddenly appears at this moment.
Under the attack from the front and back, the people on Xuanhuo Island will also be in disarray and their vitality will be severely damaged. What will happen to the Xiao family when the time comes?
It's a pity that the Xiao family's life is not good.
The intelligence was wrong, and we encountered another tough problem.
This means that their ending will definitely not be good.
Lin Mengya stood on her big boat and looked down condescendingly.
"The Xiao family of the Southern Territory, and they also want to come to Xuanwu Island to take advantage of the situation. I really don't know what they are thinking. With just a few hundred people, aren't they afraid of being wiped out?"
Others also find it a bit incredible.
A few hundred people versus 20,000 people.
Even if many of the 20,000 people have lost their labor force, this is still a huge disparity!
Lian Xing pointed to his head and said seriously, "Do you think they will have any problems here?"
When other people saw him like this, they couldn't help but smile, but then everyone thought of one thing.
"It seems that the big monster must be related to the Xiao family." Gong Wu said with a firm tone.
It's not just him who thinks so, everyone thinks so.
From the mouths of those people just now, they learned that the reason why the Xiao family chose to raid at this time was because they received an important piece of information - there was civil strife on Xuanhuo Island!
You can tell with your toes that the biggest civil strife on Xuanhuo Island is caused by that monster.
When Lian Xing thought of this, he hissed.
"Although we didn't see clearly what the big monster looked like,
From what you said, I know that it is beyond human power. Where did the Xiao family find such a big monster?"
Everyone also found it very strange, especially those who had come into direct contact with the big monster before, and felt that the Xiao family might have planned it for a long time.
Originally they thought that the monster appeared by chance, but now it seems that someone did it deliberately.
They couldn't help but wonder, how could they make this violent monster obey with just human power?
Lin Mengya's head was faster. After thinking for a while, she said, "Although this big monster is different from a dragon, its habits are very similar to a dragon. I think it was a deliberate trap set by someone to deal with the situation on Xuanhuo Island."
."
She had seen the skeletons of those dragons before, and they were quite neat, and it was not like she had never seen fossils of prehistoric animals like this in modern society.
Although the situation here is different from that on Earth, there are traces to follow.
But if this was a modern society, she would definitely think that big monster was the product of some crazy laboratory.
But don’t underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.
And no one can say for sure what will be in the deep sea, so this big monster may have been deliberately cultivated by someone, or it may have a certain affinity with the dragon.
In short, this big monster is someone who deliberately set a trap for the people on Xuanhuo Island.
This person's thinking is really meticulous, and he actually used the customs of Xuanhuo Island to lay out the plan. I don't know how many years it took them to cultivate such a big monster.
Now that it has been put to use, I naturally want to reap the fruits of victory.
At this time, Rong Zhao and Tie Xinlian, who had just withdrawn from Xuanhuo Island, also learned the news.
The two of them were now in a state of extreme exhaustion, but they were still a little surprised when they heard the news.
"But don't worry, you two, it's okay to have my lady there to delay everything. But after all, this is related to the safety of the island. I would like you to come up with an idea so that I can go back to my lady."
The two of them didn't expect that today's catastrophe was actually caused by the people from the Southern Territory!
The two of them immediately gnashed their teeth in hatred. These people were really ambitious and had no intention of letting them go.
"Sister Zhao, leave this place to me. You go and take the people to deal with things there first. There are only a few hundred people. We don't have to be afraid even now."
Tie Xinlian has an unruly temperament.
She is not afraid of confronting the opponent head-on at all, but now she has this big monster dragging her down.
She couldn't escape from the battlefield.
Otherwise, she will definitely kill the opponent without leaving a single piece of armor behind, letting them know the price of a sneak attack on her!
Rong Zhao took a breath, then took the water brought by the person next to him and took a big sip.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. Let's follow our previous plan and try to get rid of this big monster before it crawls back into the sea."
"Okay." Tie Xinlian nodded, took a swig of water, and then continued to attack the big monster.
They are now able to handle it with ease, and there is no need to worry too much. This monster's vitality is indeed tenacious.
The main reason is that the skin is rough and the flesh is thick. Although it can be pierced with a heated iron weapon, and the skin on the back is dry and cracked and peeled off a lot, if the vital part is not injured for a while, this big monster will definitely linger on.
The big monster now wants to crawl back into the sea, so they can only take advantage of this stage to completely eliminate the monster.
Rong Zhao hurriedly led the people away.
Soon she arrived at the beach, and then boarded the ship smoothly. It wasn't until she stepped on the deck of the ship that she even felt that her hands and feet were a little weak.
Lin Mengya quickly picked her up and stuffed a few pills into her mouth without saying a word.
Rong Zhao also had great trust in Lin Mengya and swallowed it without asking. Then Lin Mengya followed Bai Su and pulled her into the cabin, taking off her clothes that had been soaked several times.
Come down.
I treated her injuries again and massaged them with medicated oil.
It had to be said that this was the first time in Rong Zhao's life to enjoy such treatment. She couldn't help but feel a little flattered, and then she started to enjoy it.
Don't say it, really don't say it!
This taste is really unforgettable.
The muscles that were so sore before gradually became sore and numb under the moderate strength massage of Bai Su, and then the pain was relieved a lot.
And during this period, Lin Mengya went over the general situation with her.
"The Xiao family obviously came prepared. I think they must have more than just this card in their hand."
Seeing that Aunt Rong was a little sleepy, Lin Mengya immediately went to the side to get an invigorating pill and stuffed it in again.
It's okay, she didn't have anything else in her hand, but there was a lot of medicine, and she had everything she needed.
A chill hit the sky.
Rong Zhao was still a little confused at first, but he suddenly cheered up and became sober as never before.
