Chapter 197: Spice Island (4) For his own safety, Li Zhen is very confident, the thirteen knights are not easy to mess with, there are the top divine doctor White Bird, the most powerful poison master King Snake, the powerful disguise master Demon Cui, the sixth sense metamorphosis to the amazing night ride, and the most courageous warrior armor......
With these thirteen people here, even if there are a thousand people, don't try to get close to Li Zhen easily, let alone hurt him.
What's more, the Malays on this island are not diligent, what kind of combat power can they have?
Excluding the possibility of frontal combat, the only threat to him is none other than those strange poisons.
But with King Snake's understanding of poison, nine out of nine poisons in the world can be lifted by him, and even if the remaining one cannot be solved, he can temporarily suppress or even find a way to detoxify, or some have time to find an antidote.
Besides, even if the Malays wanted to poison and rode at night, how could they easily approach Li Zhen with a group of stupid Malays?
I'm afraid that before they can get close to Li Zhen, they will be detected and locked by the night rider, and once they are locked by the night rider, no one in this world can escape his tracking.
"This ......" the people looked at each other.
In the end, Li Ergou, the captain of the Zonghai who was familiar with Li Zhen's character, stood up and said: "Don't think too weak about the protective power around Your Highness, not to mention the protective power in secret, just say that as long as there are thirteen people around him, no one in this world can easily approach Your Highness." ” Li Ergou can be said to be the oldest person around Li Zhen, even if Fang Yi loves them, even Aya and Creevey they don't have Li Ergou They followed Li Zhen earlier, it can be said that since Li Zhen first left the palace, Li Ergou, who is a master of the inner hall, has been following Li Zhen's side, and later Li Zhen went on the expedition, Li Shimin simply transferred several of them to Li Zhen's side to become his personal guards.
It's just that later there were more and more masters around Li Zhen, and Li Ergou and several people were gradually excluded (that is, literally, not derogatory) out of Li Zhen's core because of their lack of ability, but as the old people around him, Li Zhen did not treat them badly, and 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 if he has been in the Dengzhou fleet for so many years, he is only a small captain of the building ship.
Later, when Li Zhen came to Lingnan, he transferred them to his side, and then got them into the Yuezhou fleet, and still served as the captain, but this time he was the captain of a third-class battleship, which was much stronger than the previous Xiaolou ship.
This time Li Zhen came out to relax, and he needed a reliable captain, Li Ergou and his group of companions, as Li Zhen's old subordinates, and had rich sailing experience, so they naturally deserved it.
Unlike Pei Xingjian, who has 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, so he naturally knows Li Zhen's character, although it looks impulsive, but in fact it is a typical example of planning and then acting, and it is rare to be impulsive.
Each sortie can arrange the back road properly, and sometimes there is even more than one back road, which can completely guarantee that even if the war is unfavorable, there are reinforcements or retreats.
Li Zhen didn't care about the rest of the matter, he is now looking at the island under his feet with joy, the original Halmahera Island, the current Lilac Island is not large, only 18,000 square kilometers, only ranked 51st in the world island area rankings.
But in terms of ecology, it is at the top of the list, at least much better than the wild places such as Greenland, Alexander I, Devon or Sakhalin, but it is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and is not easily accessible, so it has not been developed.
But now it's different, as one of the few islands in the world that produces major spices, and has fallen into the hands of the most powerful country in the world, then the development here will definitely advance by leaps and bounds, although it may not be as good as Chang'an Luoyang, the Tang Dynasty, but with the help of spice trade, it is no problem to develop into the general state capital of the Tang Dynasty.
It's just that Lilac Island is located in the tropics, so it is inevitable that there are a lot of poisonous insects and poisonous snakes on the island, and because it is far away from the coast and rarely visited by people, these poisonous insects and poisonous snakes have never seen people at all, and they are very easy to be frightened, especially in the case of outsiders who do not know what to do and rashly go to the island, it is easy to alarm these 'natives' and suffer from their attacks.
For example, Li Zhen was 'warmly received' by them......
"Your Highness, be careful."
As soon as the king snake reached out and grabbed it in the air, a pure green poisonous snake fell into his hands.
"It doesn't matter."
Li Zhen was not surprised, this was the twentieth time he had been attacked, and he had only penetrated ten miles deep into the island at this time, which means that he had to suffer two such attacks on average one mile, which shows how many poisonous insects there are, and the attackers are even more varied, poisonous spiders, poisonous centipedes, poisonous snakes and those animals that don't know what they are, but they are not easy to mess with at a glance.
If this is changed to Li Zhen alone, I am afraid that he will not be able to get out of two miles, and he will be recruited.
Fortunately, there were thirteen knights by his side, which ensured that he did not suffer a single attack.
It's just that Li Zhen's side is safe, but the people behind him don't have such good luck.
This time to explore the island, Li Zhen brought a total of 1,000 people, all of whom were elites who had received jungle training in the Junior Army, although they were not as good as the Junior Army, but they also had experience in jungle combat, but unfortunately, they were only rich in theoretical knowledge, as for actual combat experience......
Along the way, although they were careful enough, there were still five people who were attacked by various poisons, four of whom were put on stretchers, and one of them was so poisonous that even the doctor died before he could arrive.
Just landed on the shore and didn't have a little harvest, but there were five casualties, which made Li Zhen's face very ugly: "What about our realgar?"
Why not sprinkle realgar?
” "Your Highness, we don't have much male yellow this time, if we use it now, we can only support ten miles at most."
Zhu Run, the captain of the Pinghai, hurriedly replied that he and Li Ergou were also close ministers of Li Zhen's side, and were later arranged to the Yuezhou fleet and became the captain of a battleship.
"Damn, miscalculated."
Li Zhen's face was even more ugly, and there was a mistake in his experience in his previous life, which led to the lack of male yellow belt.
It's just that I haven't heard of so many poisonous insects on the island of Halmahera in my previous life?
And this is the Spice Islands, aren't poisonous insects the most afraid of such a breath?
You must know that in later generations, many anthelmintic drugs were made of spices.
