Seeing no one around, Yu Shengzhi asked Li Xiaofei a question, "Master Li, is there no elixir at all? It's just a cover you use to delay time!"

Li Xiaofei sensed the murderous intent in Yu Sheng's words and immediately replied, "Master Yu, you are too worried. How wise the Holy One is today. If it was a lie, how could I live till now?"

"The First Emperor and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were also wise masters. Were they not deceived by the alchemists? By the way, our trip to sea this time has the same purpose as Xu Fu's trip back then. Xu Fu failed to return to the Central Plains. I think he must have dared not

Went back! Will our Lord Li be the second Xu Fu?"

When he said this, Yu Shengzhi stared at Li Xiaofei. Li Xiaofei sighed, "Xu Fu has no family and no worries. My son, daughter, and wife are all in the hands of the emperor. Do you think I am almost sixty?"

Would a 20-year-old man want to occupy a small island and become king? Back then, I held the most elite 13th Nanhai Battalion in the world and had no such intention. If General Yu wants to be Xu Fu, I will not stop him. I will take my friends with me.

Continue to search for the elixir of life in extremely cold places."

"Master Li, do we still have a chance to survive if we go back now? We also have parents, wives and children in the Central Plains! In fact, this mission did not send me to sea in the first place. It was just because I offended the Navy Commander Xiao Xun that I and my men were sent to the sea.

My brothers have been sent out. I heard that Mr. Li was a legend in his life and was able to survive several disasters in front of the emperor. Mr. Yu is pestering Mr. Li today. You have to show me and my brothers a way out!"

After saying this, Yu Shengzhi knelt down, and Li Xiaofei stepped back warily and looked around.

"There is no one else here. Mr. Li is really cautious. You have Huayang Swordsmanship by your side, so even if there is an ambush, it will be of no use! Mr. Li, rest assured, Mr. Yu has no ill intentions towards Mr. Li!"

"I believe you, but I can't be sure that we are not being followed by Jin Liangwei's people! This is a difficult problem. You may die if you go back, and your family will be implicated if you don't go back! It's not just you and me, most brothers are facing this problem.

But I chose to return to Daliang, and your choice is to stay!"

Yu Shengzhi was a little surprised and hurriedly waved his hand, "I haven't chosen yet, I'm just worried."

"When you asked me the first sentence, you actually made a choice. You want to stay, and then you need me to return to Daliang to ensure the safety of your family! You don't have to hide it. What you want to make sure is mine.

Choice, and the choice of your people! Not everyone will believe in you and me, and not everyone doesn’t want to return to Daliang! I know that if you stay, you can be the king of this new continent. This is your choice, and maybe it is also

The mission God has given you!"

Yu Shengzhi sighed, "Actually, being a king here is not as good as being a rich man in the south of the Yangtze River, let alone the capital! I just want to survive. Mr. Li knows the emperor better than anyone else in the world.

The most terrifying thing in the world is the emperor! I really don’t dare to think about what kind of punishment I would receive when I return to Daliang without getting the elixir of life!”

Li Xiaofei patted Yu Shengzhi on the shoulder, "Look at this continent, if you go a thousand miles south, then find a dangerous place to build a new city and conquer the locals, will it be stronger than a place near the sea?"

Some! Without the big ship, no one will return to Daliang, stay away from the coast, and it will not be easy to be discovered by other fleets passing by!"

"Master Li, if I stay now, Jin Liangwei, who is hiding in the team, will definitely not let me go. If I lead the fleet to go south for a certain distance, and something suddenly happens to the ship, it will be a matter of course for me to go ashore again.

, but you need a reliable person to do this!"

Li Xiaofei smiled, "You want

Borrowing people, just say it, just don't do anything to kill people and silence them. Old Conch is good at doing this kind of thing. I will send him to follow you first! But remember to keep the supplies on the ship, otherwise you will face a desperate situation after landing.

.”

"There are a lot of fruits and edible tree roots and tubers here. We don't have to worry about food. How could we be in a desperate situation?"

"No, no, no, this is a desperate situation. You see that these natives don't have anything. Because they can get food without farming, the natives are much lazier than us. Sometimes the conditions are so good that it becomes a burden. I hope

You can understand that if we lose the habits we have maintained in the Central Plains, it will not be long before we are as weak as the natives!"

Yu Shengzhi nodded, "I understand why Mr. Li can fight against the emperor, because Mr. Li will always think further and deeper than others! I have learned a lesson!"

"You go ahead and make arrangements. Those who stay have to make a gesture of leaving. I, the one who wants to leave, have to stay and go south to find the three-tailed falcon!"

Yu Shengzhi also knew that Li Xiaofei had been looking for the three-tailed falcon to make medicine for Wang Ruoyun. At this moment, seeing Li Xiaofei's sad face, he comforted him and said, "Yu will also look for the three-tailed falcon that Mr. Li talked about along the way. If Yu finds it first, he will definitely give it to him."

Master Li, send it back! It suddenly occurred to Yu that Master Li could lead people to make special road signs along the road, so that I can know where Master Li is when I land on shore!"

"I understand your kindness. If I set up a road sign, others will definitely be suspicious, and once you land, you will not be allowed to show your face again! Jin Liangwei will definitely stare at me more often! And this is your chance!"

That’s it for today. You and I are not allowed to meet in private anymore. Once our secrets are leaked, there will be a bloody storm! I don’t want to see the tragedy of cannibalism again!”

After Li Xiaofei finished speaking, he rushed towards the new city at the foot of the mountain. He and Hong Rui wanted to continue to find the old man among the natives to inquire about the three-tailed falcon.

The hard work paid off, and after asking a few old men, I got specific information about the three-tailed falcon.

This three-tailed falcon lives in the forest next to the lake three hundred miles south of the stone formation. However, there are crocodiles in the lake that eat people, and there are giant pythons in the forest. The tribe of natives tried countless times to cross this forest, but they failed.

Ended with failure.

As soon as they heard that Li Xiaofei and the others were going to this forest again, the old people all started crying.

Hong Rui told Li Xiaofei that the old people were so panicked because they had witnessed the tragic scene of their relatives being swallowed by giant pythons in the forest.

"I just happened to take people to avenge them this time. To deal with the giant python, we have to build a winch and a bed crossbow, and prepare dozens of loads of dry firewood. Even if we burn it, we will burn it to death!"

"It is said that the python's skin is as hard as rock, and the natives' bows, arrows and spears cannot hurt it! Xiao Fei, you can't be careless!"

Li Xiaofei thought for a while, "I will collect all the thick straw ropes in the past few days. In short, I will try my best to kill the giant python and find the three-tailed falcon!"

Four days later, Li Xiaofei set out with 300 people. This time, he was also equipped with 50 wheelbarrows, loaded with dry firewood and wood for building winches and crossbows.

Passing Stonehenge again, Li Xiaofei and the others found that there were some new corpses inside, and the stone statue that had been pushed was re-erected.

"It seems that there are still many tribes around here, and they are still attacking each other! Everyone, be careful!"

After walking for more than three hundred miles, they arrived at the edge of a large lake. Beyond that was the lake surrounded by forests, and only to the north where they came was the grassy beach.

"Be careful, there are crocodiles!"

"There are also

Crocodile, get out now!"

As soon as they arrived at the lake, the crocodiles were attracted first, so Li Xiaofei had to lead everyone back two miles to the underground village.

"It seems that these crocodiles smelled our scent. I found some bones scattered in the grass beach by the lake. It seems that these crocodiles often eat human flesh. Everyone, please be careful!"

"Master Li, sir, let's be on fire! No matter what kind of beast it is, it is always afraid of fire!"

Crossbow Captain Chen Ziyou also came with him. He actually heard from the natives that there are some fruits in the south that have a sweet and sour taste, and he wanted to see if there were any suitable for making wine.

As a result, the fruits encountered along the way were not very sweet or sour, so they were not suitable for making wine. It could only place its hope in this forest.

When it came to making a fire, Chen Ziyou was the first to take action. He took out the fire stick and gathered a pile of dried grass and dry firewood on the ground to light a fire.

After a while, dozens of fires were lit in the camp. At this time, the lake was filled with darkness and something flew over.

"Everyone, be careful, wear your helmet and be careful of things flying over you!"

"What is that thing? It's overwhelming. It's not a crow! Be careful, it's coming towards us!"

Countless strange birds with big beaks flew over. Fortunately, these birds did not attack people. They just opened their mouths when they approached the fire, and then a stream of water fell from the sky.

For these 300 people, it was just a sudden heavy rain, and dozens of fires were extinguished without much struggle.

"Is it possible that these birds are specially guarding us to prevent us from lighting fires?"

"Maybe it's a coincidence! Don't panic, keep lighting the fire. This time we will light the fire in the tents and huts we have set up!"

Next, after lighting a fire in the tent, those toucans came over again and rushed directly into the tent like moths to the flame.

"The beaks of these birds are bigger than their bodies. They are here specifically to prevent us from making fire!"

Li Xiaofei was a little annoyed as to why he didn't ask those old men more at that time. Then he thought that no matter how stupid the natives were, they would still think of using fire attacks. The reason why they couldn't cross this forest for hundreds of years was of course fire attacks.

The method doesn't work anymore.

A few team captains refused to give up and dug holes in the ground to light fires. The big-billed monster birds continued to put out the fires, and they would extinguish a bunch of them when they lit a bunch of them.

"Go back five miles and go to the village! This place is too close to the forest and you can't light a fire. Once it gets dark, you may be attacked by crocodiles or giant pythons." Li Xiaofei decided to go another five miles and light a fire and go to the village.

After retreating five miles and lighting a fire, the big-billed bird did not come again, but the soldiers began to panic.

"Master Li, if we can't light a fire, we won't dare to go near the forest. It seems that it will be difficult for us to complete this mission!"

Li Xiaofei's face turned slightly green, "Don't worry, there must be a way. Who will poison me?"

Everyone looked at each other in shock. Only the military doctor Niu Yuandong stood up and said, "I can! Does your Excellency want to poison those big-mouthed strange birds?"

"I had no choice but to poison these thousands of strange birds. This crime belongs to me, Mr. Li! Originally, these strange birds did not harm anyone, they were just extinguishing fires!"

"Master Li, I know something about birds. I saw that these birds live in groups, eat, live and go out together. If poisoned, this bird may become extinct!"
