Great Tang Southern Emperor

Chapter 197 Spice Island (4)

Regarding her own safety, Li Zhen is very confident. The Thirteen Knights are not easy to mess with. There is the top genius doctor Shiratori, the most powerful poison master King Snake, and the powerful disguise master Yaocui. There are sixth sense perverted to amazing night riders, and the bravest warriors with strong armor...

With these thirteen people here, even if there were 1000 people, they would not be able to get close to Li Zhen easily, let alone hurt him.

What's more, the Malays on this island are not active, so what fighting power can they have?Excluding the possibility of fighting head-on, the only thing that threatens him is those strange poisons.

However, based on King Snake's understanding of poisons, [-]% of the poisons in this world can be detoxified by him. Even if the remaining one point cannot be detoxified, he can temporarily suppress or even find a way to detoxify, or have time to find an antidote.

Besides, even if the Malays wanted to poison them, how could it be possible for a group of idiots like the Malays to get close to Li Zhen easily?I'm afraid they will be noticed and locked by Ye Qi before they get close to Li Zhen, and once they are locked by Ye Qi, no one in this world can escape his pursuit.

"This..." Several people looked at each other.

In the end, Li Ergou, the captain of the Zonghai, who knew Li Zhen's character well, stood up and said, "Don't think too much about the protection power around His Highness, let alone the protection power in the dark. With thirteen people here, no one in this world can easily approach His Highness."

Li Ergou can be said to be the oldest person around Li Zhen. Even Fang Yiai and them, even Aya and Creevy, are not as good as Li Ergou. They followed Li Zhen earlier. It can be said that since Li Zhen was the first The first time he left the palace, Li Ergou and others, who were masters in the palace, had been by Li Zhen's side all the time. Later, when Li Zhen went to war, Li Shimin simply transferred them to Li Zhen's side to become his personal bodyguards.

It's just that there were more and more masters around Li Zhen, and Li Ergou and others were gradually squeezed out because of their lack of ability (literally, not including derogatory meanings) out of Li Zhen's core. Zhen did not treat them badly. Under his operation, these old people were all transferred to the Dengzhou Fleet.

It's a pity that Li Ergou's skills are really good, but his other talents are mediocre. Even after so many years in the Dengzhou Fleet, he is only a small ship captain.

Later, when Li Zhen came to Lingnan, he transferred them to his side, and then got them into the Yuezhou Fleet. He still served as the captain, but this time he was the captain of the third-tier battleship, which was much stronger than the previous small building ship. .

This time Li Zhen came out to relax and needed a reliable captain. Li Ergou and his group of companions, as Li Zhen's old subordinates and rich sailing experience, naturally did their part.

Unlike Pei Xingjian and the others who have not been in contact with Li Zhen for a long time, Li Ergou can be said to have watched Li Zhen grow up, and even followed him to the battlefield. Naturally, he also knows Li Zhen's character. Although he looks impulsive, he is actually determined And the typical move later, rarely impulsive.Every attack can arrange the rear route properly, and sometimes there is more than one rear route, which can completely guarantee that even if the battle is unfavorable, there will be reinforcements or retreat routes.

Li Zhen didn't care about the rest of the matter. He was now looking at the island under his feet with joy. The original Halmahera Island and the current Lilac Island are not large, only 18 square kilometers, the largest island in the world. Only ranked 51 on the leaderboard.But in terms of ecology, it is at the top of the list, at least much better than wild places like Greenland, Alexander I Island, Devon Island or Sakhalin Island, but it is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. , The traffic is not convenient, so it has not been developed.

But it is different now. As one of the few islands in the world that mainly produces spices, it has fallen into the hands of the most powerful country in the world, so the development here will definitely advance by leaps and bounds, although it may not be as good as Chang'an, which is native to the Tang Dynasty. Luoyang, but with the help of the spice trade, it is still no problem to develop into a state capital of the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that Lilac Island is located in a tropical area, so it is inevitable that there are many poisonous insects and snakes on the island, and because it is far away from the coast, there are few strangers. When outsiders rush to the island without knowing it, it is easy to alarm these 'natives' and be attacked by them.

For example, Li Zhen received their 'warm hospitality'...

"Be careful, Your Highness." The King Snake stretched out his hand to grab it in the air, and a pure green poisonous snake fell into his hands.

"It's okay." Li Zhen was not surprised. This is the No. 20 attack he has encountered, and he has only penetrated ten miles into the island at this time, which means that he will suffer twice for every mile. This kind of attack shows how many poisonous insects there are, and the attackers are all kinds of you, poisonous spiders, poisonous centipedes, poisonous snakes and those animals who don't know what they are, but they are not easy to mess with at first glance.

If it were Li Zhen alone, he might be caught within two miles.

Fortunately, there were thirteen knights by his side, which ensured that he was not attacked once.

It's just that Li Zhen's side is safe, but the people behind him are not so lucky.

This time to explore the island, Li Zhen brought a total of 1000 people. They were all elites who had received jungle training in the Boys’ Army. Rich knowledge, as for actual combat experience...

Along the way, although they were careful enough, five people were still attacked by various poisons, four of them were put on stretchers, and one person died because the poison was so severe that even the doctor hadn't arrived yet. died.

Five people were killed or injured just after going ashore without any harvest, which made Li Zhen's expression very ugly: "Where's our realgar? Why don't we scatter realgar?"

"Your Highness, we don't have much realgar this time. If we use it now, we can only support ten miles at most." Zhu Run, the captain of the Pinghai, replied quickly. He and Li Ergou were also Li Zhen's close ministers. He was assigned to the Yuezhou Fleet and became the captain of a battleship.

"Damn it, I made a mistake in my estimation." Li Zhen's expression became even uglier. There was a mistake in his previous life experience, which resulted in the loss of the realgar belt.

It's just that I haven't heard that there are so many poisonous insects in Halmahera Island in my previous life?And this is the Spice Islands, aren't poisonous insects most afraid of such a breath?You must know that many anthelmintic medicines in later generations are made from spices.

Chapter 836 Attack on Spice Island

Chapter 198 Attack on Spice Island

Li Zhen was in a bad mood and felt that she was not good at being a teacher, but she didn't know that this was already a very good result.

Although the Halmahera Island in the previous life did not hear the news of the poisonous insects, but he forgot that the Halmahera Island in the later generations has been developed by modern civilization for hundreds of years, and the poisonous snakes and poisonous insects inside have long been inhabited. The breath was driven away, and even if there was, he could only hide in the corner.

But the current Halmahera Island is an original ecology. Although spices have an impact on the activities of poisonous insects, the entire island is not full of spices. Of course, there is enough room for poisonous insects to live.

"Your Highness, you can try to boil realgar powder into a potion and apply some on each person's body. This should have a certain effect." King Snake suggested in a rare way.

"This is indeed a method, but how long can it last?" Of course Li Zhen knows the method of boiling realgar with water to smear it, but this method is not without disadvantages. The water will evaporate after all, and the smell It will dissipate after all, once the realgar aura on her body dissipates, Li Zhen doesn't have so much realgar to make a second potion.

"Subordinates are sure..." Wang Snake was full of confidence, but before he finished speaking, another accident happened.

"Your Highness, be careful." Yeqi was the first to notice, stretched out his hand, and a 'poisonous snake' that was attacking Li Zhen fell into his hands.

"It's not a poisonous snake?" Pei Xingjian exclaimed, "It turned out to be an arrow..."

"What?" Li Zhen stared quickly, and it turned out that what appeared in the night rider's hand was not the poisonous snake before, but a short arrow, only as thick as a little finger, the length of a palm, and the tail was feathers made of unknown bird feathers. The whole body is pitch-black, and the arrowhead is made of the teeth of wild beasts, which is also black. If it wasn't for the night knight's attack, Li Zhen might really be hit.

"Your Highness, be careful, there is poison in the arrow." Ye Qi's words made Li Zhen's face turn black even more.

"Damn it, Yeqi, you want to live." Li Zhen was furious, I haven't invaded you yet, and you dare to attack me, so you don't want to live.

"Yes." Yeqi disappeared in the distance in a flash, and his speed was far faster than the so-called Porter and Liu Xiang. Speed, how to catch up with the enemy?

"Your Highness, this might not be a good thing." A military doctor accompanying him suddenly smiled and said, "The natives are certainly courageous, but they are not without benefits. They live on this island, so they must be able to repel snakes and insects." There is no way, as long as we can catch him back..."

"Yes, this is indeed a solution." Li Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief. In this case, the king snake will not have to waste effort. Although Li Zhen believes in the ability of the king snake, as long as he is given time, he will be able to find it. The way to avoid snakes and insects, but it takes too much time, and Li Zhen does not want the king snake to leave him for too long - it is really terrible, if it is not for the thirteen knights guarding him, Li Zhen promises that he will definitely avoid it. But if the arrow just now was really poisoned, God knows if the king snake can come back in time?

That's right, he was really a little flustered by the attack just now, and he was no longer as confident as he was before he landed on the island. The attack methods of the natives on Dingxiang Island are really weird, and he also fought on the battlefield The veteran who came over didn't hear the sound of the arrow piercing the air. If it wasn't for Ye Qi's shot, the arrow just now would definitely have shot into Li Zhen's heart.

Ye Qi came back soon, holding a man with dark brown skin in his hand, with a head full of pearls on his head, and an animal tooth inlaid on his nose, which seemed to be a wild boar tooth. A piece of animal skin is tied around the waist to cover up the shame, and the rest of the body is not covered at all, and it is completely exposed outside.

"Your Highness, someone has been arrested." Ye Qi handed over a small bow: "This is the weapon to attack you."

"Well, hard work."

Li Zhen took the bow, hooked the arrow just now, and shot it casually.

"Tuk!"

The poisonous arrow pierced deeply into a coconut tree, several inches deep, and there was no sound during the process.

"A good bow, a good arrow."

Throwing the small bow to Tie Bing casually: "Take it down and study it to see if it can be imitated."

This bow and arrow shoots silently, it is simply a natural assassination weapon, and it is really good to equip it with the Ever Victory Battalion.

"Yes." Tie Bing's ability is all kinds of organs. He was originally a descendant of the Mohist organ lineage, and he is best at playing with various organ machines. It's just that the Mohist school has long been obsessed with Confucianism for hundreds of years. His vitality has been severely injured, and several branches have even broken their inheritance. Even Tie Bing is one of the last two in this branch of the agency. After Li Zhen promised him to continue his inheritance, he devoted himself to it without hesitation. Under Li Zhen's command.

As for the other descendant of the agency lineage, it is his junior brother, named Duan Rui...

Well, he is the commander of the first generation of the Shenji Battalion of the Youth Army.

After explaining the matter, Li Zhen turned her attention to the arrested man, seeing that his complexion was brown and dark, he should not be Malay, but more like Papuan, because it is said that Papuan is brown.

"What's your name? Why did you attack us?" As soon as Li Zhen asked this, she wanted to slap her. She spoke Chinese, and it would be weird if this native could understand it.
