Chapter 3973 The Song of the Purple Moon (24)
The beam of light emanating from the statue of [Coribus] not only pierced through the temple and illuminated the entire temple space, but also caused a dramatic change in the statue of the [Sea God] in the [Laurel] tribe's sacrificial plaza.
"……what's going on?"
The witch, who was studying the statue with Xiaomeng, was suddenly startled by the changes in the statue—her passive skill of being cautious and prudent came into play instantly!
Without saying a word, the witch picked up Xiaomeng and quickly moved away from the statue of the Sea God, then observed it with suspicion and uncertainty.
Honestly, she hadn't even touched the statue—it just suddenly lit up on its own, so it wasn't her fault... even though she'd always had this wonderful habit of touching things!
The beam of light shot straight into the sky, instantly turning the night sky over the [Laurel] tribe as bright as day.
……
At the same time, [Xiang Feihu], who had just rushed back, was also alarmed by this change—she appeared in another direction outside the square and saw two unfamiliar figures in the distance.
One was dressed as a noblewoman from the palace, and the other was wearing a short skirt.
This must be the person who triggered the hidden warning she left behind... Judging from the looks of it, they don't seem to be from the pirate side. Could they also be from the treasure hunter camp?
No, it could also be Void Pirates.
Despite being a high-ranking member of the Pirate Alliance headquarters, Li Huamei couldn't possibly recognize every Void Pirate—after all, the Void Pirate industry is constantly seeing a large influx of newcomers.
Just then, the woman dressed as a noble lady of the palace, with a lace eye mask on her face, seemed to notice her arrival as well... and immediately cast her gaze upon her.
[Xiang Feihu] frowned slightly and did not respond for the time being... The two of them exchanged a quick glance from a distance and then focused their attention on the [Sea God] statue and the suddenly appearing pillar of light.
……
The witch was feeling a slight pain in her testicles.
—What the hell is going on?
I had barely finished off that monstrous female knight and hadn't even caught my breath when I ran into [Xiang Feihu]... Is my luck really that weird?
Miss Witch really can't understand her own fortune anymore. It's good one moment and bad the next, with good and bad things coming one after another, and it's impossible to guard against them!
Li Huamei might not recognize her as the "Black Cat" lady, but Miss Witch would definitely recognize "Xiang Feihu" at a glance!
"Who is that person? You seem very afraid of her?" Xiaomeng asked curiously.
—Am I scared?
Miss Witch frowned slightly. Xiaomeng seemed to have some kind of extraordinary perception ability—well, she admitted that she was indeed a little afraid of this guy, [Xiang Feihu].
But the fear wasn't about the difference in strength; it was simply because of [Xiang Feihu]... She was wickedly righteous, a magical being who could often make others feel ashamed.
"[Xiang Feihu], one of the elders of the Pirate Alliance headquarters, and the captain of the [Pirate King] Zhang Bolu's gang." The witch gritted her teeth slightly and said, "...In short, he's a very difficult guy to deal with."
"Is that so?" Xiaomeng blinked, her little finger pressed against her lips, seemingly lost in thought.
……
While Miss Witch and [Shohiko] maintained an inexplicable tacit understanding without communicating, focusing on the changes in the statue—there was also a third party present, who was also nervously observing these changes!
Boros is hiding in the light and shadow of the divine tree!
Its expression turned extremely ugly, even showing a hint of shock, anger, and uncertainty.
“What are Morgan and the others doing? Why are they…” Boros’s expression shifted. “Could this be… Corybuscher’s… Damn it, what on earth happened inside the temple?!”
……
……
"Look, what is that!"
"This pillar of light... could it be a phenomenon indicating the opening of the [Sea God] treasure?!"
"I seem to sense an extremely ancient power within it... divine power, this is divine power! Incomparably pure divine power!!"
"That must be a treasure! Even if it's not a treasure, it's definitely not an ordinary thing!"
"Brothers, charge! The treasure is in these rabbits' lair!!!"
Instantly, the treasure-hunting army on the battlefield became frenzied and crazy. If before this, they had been very restrained and chaotic because the resistance of the Long-Eared Tribe was fierce and they had misjudged the strength of the Long-Eared Tribe, then the appearance of the pillar of light and the information that the treasure had appeared instantly ignited the fire of greed in the hearts of the treasure hunters.
A large group of people with ulterior motives, always trying to get others to take the fall so they can fish in troubled waters, is completely different from a group of people who have been completely enraged!
The long-eared warriors instantly felt the frenzy of the enemy's attack, and their strength increased by more than one level.
Even a large number of ants can kill a dragon—moreover, for the treasure-hunting army, the Long-Eared Tribe is not a dragon at all!
"Avril, what happened?"
Baniko, whose body was stained with the blood of countless treasure hunters and pirates, appeared in the high priest's airship, carrying a long sword.
Avril's expression was terribly gloomy, her eyes filled with a mixture of rage and confusion. She was also unsure of the situation, but the only thing she could think of was: what did the guy she had tricked into the temple space do inside?
She glanced subconsciously at the golden scepter in her hand.
—This should have been held by the statue of Corribusser.
At this point, she had already taken the golden scepter, so logically...
At that moment, the entire secret realm of the [Laurel] tribe began to tremble violently... The pillar of light that shot directly to the dome of the secret realm eventually pierced through the dome completely!
It shattered the space of the temple, then the secret realm of the [Laurel] tribe, and finally burst out of the [Purple Moon] Song Grand Canyon. It then pierced through layer after layer of [Purple Moon] areas, like a lighthouse in the darkness, and finally pierced through the [Freedom and Wildness] Canyon, disappearing into the endless void!
……
……
It's highly unlikely that people in the city of Rogge can see what's happening on the Purple Moon. The humans living there can only see a purple moon when they look up.
But at this moment, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the [Purple Moon]!
On this night, the pillar of light was so dazzling, like a shimmering river of light, that it awakened the city of [Rogue] and the creatures hidden in the darkness within countless residential areas of the [Freedom and Wildness] Gorge.
"What the hell?"
On the "Revenge," Blackbeard, carrying a bottle of old wine, walked out of the captain's cabin... and walking out with him was none other than Saidah Hera, known as the "Pirate Queen."
No one knows why this "Pirate Queen" secretly visited Blackbeard late at night after just arriving in "Loguetown"—but it's clear that the two were discussing something at the time.
"【Purple Moon】?" Saidah Hera frowned subconsciously. "I heard there's some news about a treasure. Could it be true?"
Blackbeard shook his head and sneered, "So what if it is? This is Zhang Bolu's territory. Even if Karithorp's treasure appears right under our feet, do you think you can take it away in front of Zhang Bolu? How boring!"
Saidah Hera shrugged... This guy is probably traumatized by Zhang Bolu's beating.
“With such a commotion, the alliance won’t remain silent… I’m leaving now.” Sayida Hera said directly, “I will seriously consider tonight’s matter.”
"In short, you won't be disappointed, Pirate Queen!" Blackbeard chuckled twice.
With a soft laugh, the Pirate Queen departed under the moonlight.
……
"Lord Falgaro, look above the [Purple Moon]!"
"I saw..."
……
"Warden, Zi... Zi Yue!!"
"Could there really be a treasure?!"
……
At the Pirate Alliance headquarters, in the courtyard of the Pirate King's farmhouse, Zhang Bolu, who had just finished plowing the land, breathed a sigh of relief.
He raised his head, slowly removing his straw hat. A strange glint flashed in his eyes as he murmured, "Is this the start of [Fallen Moon], Boros... Well then, I will too..."
……
[Rogge] City... In a treacherous underground mine outside the city—the slaves who had been toiling away all day were finally granted a pitiful rest.
The slaves, who were confined in a fence like pigs and fed pig swill, raised their heads in bewilderment.
They were drawn there by a beam of light that pierced the night sky.
But the slaves just watched silently. No matter what happened outside, it wouldn't affect their miserable fate of only eating pig feed—if they could get a shred of meat in their feed tomorrow, they would be so happy!
Except for one person.
The restless Captain Jack Sparrow!
"Jack, what's wrong...aren't you going to eat?" Ski looked at the untouched pig feed in Captain Jack's broken bowl and subconsciously made a swallowing motion.
There was really no other way. His powers were sealed, and he was forced to do the grueling work of a black-hearted miner, so he could only replenish his strength in the most primitive way... He clearly saw a sliver of meat floating in Jack's bowl! That was incredibly lucky!
“It’s about time…” Captain Jack suddenly said.
"When...when?" Ski was startled for a moment, then suddenly jolted awake, and exclaimed with wild joy, "You mean, escape..."
He quickly covered his mouth again, then lowered his voice, "Are you really going to run away?"
"From now on, if you want to escape your fate as a slave, you must listen to me," Captain Jack said solemnly. "Execute my orders meticulously... Alright, take your good-for-nothing brother with you, let's get moving!"
“But…but what can my brother do in his current state?” Ski said hesitantly. “To put it bluntly, he’s just a burden…”
You have to admit, they really are brothers.
"No, your burdensome brother is the key!" Captain Jack chuckled. "In fact, without him, our chances of escaping tonight would be reduced by at least half!"
Ski was full of doubts, but he couldn't resist the temptation to escape, and gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do it! The worst that can happen is that I'll be caught and brought back to be a slave again!"
He took a deep breath, then grabbed his own pig feed, along with the bowl in Jack's hand, packed it up, and kept it close to his body—in case he got caught, at least he could have it as a midnight snack!
After all, Jack's portion actually had a shred of meat in it!
"Jack, when exactly do we make our move?" Ski asked, both nervous and excited.
"Soon," Captain Jack Sparrow said calmly, "when it falls."
"it?"
“Not bad.” Captain Jack chuckled and pointed to the most dazzling purple moon. “That’s it… the Purple Moon.”
……
……
……
……
Inside the temple space.
As the pillar of light suddenly appeared, [Gold] Shaq immediately summoned a sand curtain to block the way in front of everyone.
"Such an ancient aura of divine power!"
The direct experience of the power contained within this pillar of light caused [Golden] Shaq's expression to become extremely solemn—but this was clearly not a signal that a [treasure] was about to be opened!
The pillar of light completely engulfed the statue of [Coribus]... At this moment, a figure could be vaguely seen slowly emerging from within the pillar of light, walking out of it!
[Gold] Shaq subconsciously took a deep breath, and sand condensed on his arm to form a sand blade.
"They're here." Ah Xiruo's eyes narrowed slightly.
Finally, the figure within the pillar of light began to emerge... However, what appeared with such fanfare was actually just one...
"It's...it's a child?" Little Bai Zhi exclaimed in surprise the moment she saw it clearly.
Indeed, what emerged from the statue was a little girl who looked only seven or eight years old, with a chubby face, wearing an extremely oversized garment with sleeves that even dragged on the ground, and long pink hair.
"...This is Corybusser?" Ah Xiruo's cheek twitched slightly as she turned to look at [Gold] Shaq. "This is the lover of [Davy Jones] you mentioned? That so-called captain of the [Ghost Ship], he's actually a pervert?!"
“That shouldn’t be the case. Historical records say Corylbuso should be a great beauty.” [Gold] Shaq frowned. “But the pink hair does match…”
Ah Xiruo shook her head, subconsciously glancing at Captain Luo, wanting to see what he had to say.
But before Captain Luo could speak, the pink-haired little girl in the oversized coat spoke up first.
"So it was you who broke my seal?" The pink-haired little girl glanced at everyone indifferently. "You guys mentioned the name [Davis Jones] earlier, didn't you?"
[Gold] Shaq, who was self-proclaimed as the leader of this treasure hunt team, frowned and asked, "Are you really [Colibusser]... [Davis Jones]'s lover?"
The pink-haired girl remained silent for a long time before saying expressionlessly, "My name is indeed [Colibusser], but I am not [David Jones]'s lover."
[Gold] Shaq was stunned: "This is impossible! The bond between you two has been passed down since the Old Gods... If you're not lovers, then what am I?!"
—Damn it, if you two aren't in a relationship, then what about all that research I did and all that shipping I did for so long...? A clown?!
"This has nothing to do with you." The pink-haired girl remained calm... even a little indifferent. She suddenly stared at [Gold] Shaq.
To be precise, he was looking at the animal hide map in [Gold] Shaq's hand, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
[Gold] Shaq had obviously noticed the other party's movements, so he chuckled and said, "Whether you are real or fake, one thing is undeniable: it was I... it was we who freed you from the seal of the statue. Is this how you treat your benefactor?"
The pink-haired little girl looked up, frowned, and asked, "Why is the map in your hands? Where is Jack Sparrow? Why didn't he come?"
Jack... Jack what?
[Gold] Shaq opened his mouth, his face showing disbelief.
Ah Xiruo looked at Captain Luo with a surprised expression.
—No, you're serious? The map really was found in the Black Pearl's cargo hold, you didn't make it up out of thin air... You're actually not kidding me?!
In response, Boss Luo simply looked at the true dragon of Shenzhou and blinked his innocent, puppy-like eyes.
Ah Xiruo felt a sudden flush of heat in her ears, as if she had been caught doing something wrong... She bit her lip, thinking that she could just apologize verbally, what was the big deal!
