Chapter Twenty-Six: Zor Island
"Big brother, after ~ will ~ have ~ period ~ "
Zhen Yingjun, who was taken into the air by the middle-aged man, waved goodbye to Lin Fan on the ground, and after a few breaths, he disappeared from Lin Fan's sight along with Lian Haozi.
"Strange, where is this boulder, why can't I figure it out"
As soon as the three of Lian Haozi left, Lin Fan groped for a while where the boulder appeared, he remembered that Lian Haozi's treasure house had a lot of good things, but after groping for nearly an hour, he couldn't let the boulder appear.
"Didn't even Haozi say that there is a treasure that can regenerate my left arm, I forgot about this stubble"
Lin Fan patted the back of his head, when did he still think about other people's treasure troves, but then again, Lian Haozi Lian Haozi, why is this formation master called this name, Haozi, mouse, stupid can't tell the difference.
Consciousness probed into the bronze ring again, and what Lian Haozi gave to Lin Fan was a large pile of white spirit stones and a small pile of blue spirit stones, as well as a bunch of mountain-like boxes, which were pressing on the shaft of the spear, but this spear was not half silent, and it seemed that it had not woken up from its slumber.
Lin Fan took out a piece of parchment next to the pile of spirit stones, and what was drawn on it was the place where he could put a treasure on his left arm, and while looking at the map, Lin Fan said to himself: "This Lian Haozi is not bad to me, sending such a large number of spirit stones, it is really a bodhisattva's heart."
The location of the treasure recorded on this parchment is actually in an island in the sea, and the location of the nearest port is actually in Yuangang Village, seeing the three small characters of Yuangang Village on the map, Lin Fan couldn't calm down for a long time, and he couldn't imagine that after a big circle, it was actually Yuangang Village again.
But he didn't want to start from Yuangang Village, where was the pain he didn't want to set foot again, he looked at the map carefully, there was also a port more than 300 miles away from Lian Haozi's residence, called Quanou Port, Lin Fan made up his mind and set off again in the direction of Quanou Port on the map.
Three hours later, even Haozi and the eldest apprentice of the Flame Sect Leader Wang Tang, Zhen Yingjun, also arrived at the Fire Leaving Sect.
"Hahaha, old friend, it's been a long time."
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Fire Sect, Wang Tang walked out with a smile and greeted Lian Haozi warmly.
"It's been nearly 20 years since I said goodbye last time, how can I not come this time when you wrote to me by handwriting", Lian Haozi stroked his white beard and smiled back, his left hand reached into his right sleeve, and when he was about to give a small gift to Wang Tang, his face suddenly changed.
"Old friend, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Lian Haozi's face suddenly turned pale, Wang Tang asked in wonder.
"It's okay, it's okay, let's go, take me to see the location of the teleportation array first"
Lian Haozi smiled bitterly and said, miscalculation, miscalculation, I wanted to pretend to give Lin Fan a mysterious parchment map, but I estimated that I was only concerned about talking at that time, and I actually poured the spirit stones and other items in my space magic weapon to Lin Fan, and now I really gave away my coffin.
When Lian Haozi, who was crying and sad, left with Wang Tanggang, Zhen Yingjun hurriedly shouted: "Master, my ban ~ My ban hasn't been lifted yet", but the two of them had already turned into a ray of light and went straight to the location of the teleportation array.
It is said that when Lin Fan walked about three miles, he saw the burning maroon desert again, Lin Fan estimated that Lian Haozi's residence should be an oasis in the desert, and the place where the viper was bitten should be the edge, and this oasis should be in the center of the burning desert.
"Lao Bangzi didn't say that his residence was near the desert, he really dared to be affectionate", Lin Fan cursed again and again, this Lian Haozi said that his residence was next to the desert, and it was indeed next to the desert, because Lian Haozi did not regard this maroon desert as a desert.
"I'm X, why is this sand so hot?"
Just stepped on the maroon sand, Rao is Lin Fan was wearing cloth boots, and he could immediately feel the high temperature of the sand, squinting at it, the endless maroon desert could be described as a heat wave.
And in this lifeless maroon desert, there is such an oasis, which is really dependent on life and death, with yin and yang as the two poles.
What Lin Fan didn't know was that this maroon desert was a huge formation laid by Lian Haozi, ordinary people would not be caught in this formation at all, this formation was only for cultivators, although Lin Fan and Zhenying Jun's spiritual pool were sealed, but this large array still sensed the spiritual power in the two of them, so it operated on its own.
"How am I going to get out?"
Lin Fan looked at the endless maroon desert, and suddenly wanted to cry without tears, grabbing his short hair with his right hand and falling into deep thought.
"Scalp, hair, and hair"
Lin Fan's eyes lit up, there was hair on his scalp, so he stuffed two cushions in his boots, just do it, Lin Fan also used the broken bronze sword to cut off two pieces of bark and put them in the boots.
"Don't say it, it's really good"
Lin Fan walked a few steps in the maroon desert with satisfaction, and sure enough, he couldn't feel the high temperature anymore.
However, the good times did not last long, Lin Fan walked less than three miles, and the damp bark in the cushion boots was completely evaporated into dry bark, but fortunately, Lin Fan was fully prepared, pulled off the bark of more than a dozen trees, cut them into small pieces and put them in the bronze ring.
"Why haven't you gone out yet?"
After walking for a whole day, the night was draped over the desert, and Lin Fan hadn't even walked out of the maroon desert, so he cursed angrily.
Except for the hot sand and the small fires that came out from time to time, Lin Fan didn't see half a living thing in this brown desert.
"I'm so tired that I'm not leaving"
Lin Fan sat on the sand with his buttocks, and just sat down and jumped up with a whimper, it turned out that a blue fire came out of the sand when Lin Fan just sat down, burning right on Lin Fan's cheeks.
"If I stab myself in the heart with a bronze sword, will this spirit pool ban be lifted?"
Lin Fan stood on the maroon desert, holding the broken bronze sword in his right hand and was stunned.
He walked for a whole day and a night, and when the dawn appeared, he came up with this idea, that is, if he stabbed himself with a sword, would the ban be lifted, once the seal was lifted with his current realm of the Five Heavens of the Transformation Stage, it would not be easy to leave this desert.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Fan still put the bronze sword into the bronze ring, in case he couldn't steal the chicken.
Fortunately, Lin Fan's spirit pool was banned and could not use any spiritual power, otherwise fire snakes would emerge all over the ground in the sand, so that Lin Fan had nowhere to hide, and as for the sky on all sides of the oasis, it was also a formation, but Wang Tang's eldest apprentice held the token that Lian Haozi gave to Wang Tang back then, so he was able to reach the oasis without hindrance.
After walking for three days and three nights, Lin Fan walked out of the desert in the early morning of the fourth day, looking at the green grass nearby, Lin Fan directly lay on the ground and kissed the grass.
These three days are as long as three years for Lin Fan, if it weren't for the food and water in the bronze ring, Lin Fan would have died of thirst in the desert, and now that he finally saw the green plants, how could he not be excited, how could he not cheer.
According to the guidance of the parchment map, Lin Fan walked for another half a day, fortunately passing through a small village, it is good to say that he exchanged two pieces of gold for a mule, and this gold is still the kind Lian Haozi poured from his right sleeve space magic weapon into Lin Fan's space magic weapon, thinking of this, Lin Fan muttered about Lian Haozi's goodness.
More than 5,000 miles away, Lian Haozi was busy carving various formations in a group of stones, and whenever he remembered that he had carelessly poured the coffin book to Lin Fan, he cursed non-stop.
"Riding my beloved little mule, it will never ...... ~~”
Lin Fan rode on the mule he bought and hummed a song, since he could speak again, his mood could be described as happy and cheerful every day.
After stopping and resting for two days along the way, Lin Fan also arrived at the wharf Quanou Port mentioned on the parchment.
"This port is really ...... Spectacular."
Looking at the dense boats of various sizes on the port in front of him, and the fishermen who came and went to unload their goods, Lin Fan just wanted to recite a poem, but there was too little ink in his stomach, so he could only describe it with two words: spectacular.
"Hey, friend, are you here to buy seafood, let me tell you, I have freshly caught prawns and big fish, do you want to come and see it?", a lean man walked up to Lin Fan and asked.
"Well, I'm not here to buy this fish or shrimp," Lin Fan said embarrassedly.
After hearing this, the lean man turned his head and left directly, as if Lin Fan was not here to buy seafood, and he didn't want to entangle with him.
"Big brother, take a hard time, I'm tired to ask you, I'm going to take a boat to the sea, may I ask if there is a boat carrying people to the sea", Lin Fan hurriedly followed two steps and said with a smile.
"You want to go to sea?, there are passenger ships that go to sea, but it depends on where you want to go"
The lean man stopped, turned his head to look at Lin Fan and asked.
"From this port, more than a thousand miles to the southeast, there is an island called ...... Call...... What's it called, I'll see."
Lin Fan reached into his clothes with his right hand, took out the parchment map from the bronze ring, looked at it, pointed to the southeast direction and said, "It's called Zor Island, I'm going there."
"I haven't heard of Zor, so come with me, I know a boatman, he probably knows."
The thin man pondered for a while, shook his head and said, this thin man is an old acquaintance with a certain passenger ship that sailed away, and the passenger ship anchored at this boat is not far from him, so he simply took Lin Fan there.
"Guoqiang~~Guoqiang~~Li Guoqiang"
The lean man led Lin Fan to the dock of a passenger ship that was more than 20 zhang long, three zhang high, and about 4 zhang wide, and shouted loudly towards the bow of the passenger ship.
"No wonder it's called a port instead of a wharf, compared to the wharf in Yuangang Village, it's just the difference between an elephant and an ant," Lin Fan exclaimed as he looked at the bustling wharf in front of him.
Less than 100 meters from the sea, there is a fishing village, there is a dragon king temple next to it, and the wharf is also divided into two boat docking areas, one is used for fishing boats, and the other is full of all kinds of large passenger boats, and the wharf is very lively with people.
In the vicinity of the wharf, there is a stone statue of the general about ten zhang high, from those fishermen who are about to go out to sea to fish, when they will worship this stone statue devoutly, you can see that the stone statue of the general is important in the hearts of the people at the wharf, a little far away from the wharf, there is a large shipyard, and nearly a thousand sailors are stationed nearby, Lin Fan even heard the sound of the sailor drilling, and there are more than a dozen teams of more than ten sailors, holding spears majestically patrolling the wharf and its surroundings.
"What are you doing?"
A swarthy and sturdy man in his forties poked his head out of the deck of a passenger ship next to Lin Fan and the lean man, and looked at the two of them condescendingly.
"This little brother said that he wants to go to sea, I will bring him to you", the thin man raised his head and squinted his eyes and shouted, in fact, every time this thin man successfully introduced a passenger to the boatman, then he could also get a little reward from the boatman, otherwise he would not do such a thing that did not return on his efforts.
"Well, uh, let him come up."
This boatman's name is Li Guoqiang, who has been engaged in this business for more than 20 years, from the small raft at the beginning, to the small wooden boat in the middle, and then to the big passenger ship so far, he can be said to have struggled step by step so far, but his money has been used to buy a boat, and he is estimated to be fanatical about the boat to the extreme, and he has not even begged for a daughter-in-law, and has been eating, drinking, and Lazar on the boat.
Lin Fan climbed the wooden ladder lowered by the passenger ship and came to the deck, where Li Guoqiang, the shipowner, was enjoying his breakfast on the deck, and when he saw Lin Fan drinking porridge behind him, he asked, "Little brother, where are you going?"
"I'm going to Zor Island", Lin Fan walked in front of Li Guoqiang.
"Poof"
Li Guoqiang squirted out the white rice porridge in his mouth, coughed a few times, and then glared at a pair of bronze eyes and said, "Where are you going?"
"Zor Island"
Lin Fan rolled his eyes, isn't this boatman's ears good?
"You're kidding, that place is more than 1,500 miles away from this port," Li Guoqiang said with an incredulous expression.
The two exchanged for a while, and Lin Fan knew that although Li Guoqiang's passenger ship looked big, it would not actually go out of the sea so far, and it usually carried passengers to other docks, as for the location of Zor Island, Li Guoqiang knew, but Li Guoqiang said that this island is not something that ordinary people like them can go up, because it is said that there are immortals living on this island.
What's more, there is a thick fog and reefs on the sea area on all sides of the island all year round, even if his passenger ship is lucky not to hit the reef, it will be lost in the fog, two years ago Li Guoqiang took his boatmen, curious to enter the thick fog, actually lost his way, in the fog around for a month has not been around.
Just when the food and water were about to run out, a white-haired fairy appeared on the deck of Li Guoqiang's passenger ship out of thin air, helped Li Guoqiang and the shipwrights leave the fog, and warned Li Guoqiang and others, saying that there is an island in the fog, called Zor Island, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter.
Lin Fan took out a lot of words, and took out Lian Haozi's thirty pieces of fingernail-sized gold as a deposit, and after returning to the port, he paid fifty gold, and under the heavy money, Li Guoqiang was relieved and drove Lin Fan to Zor Island alone, but Li Guoqiang also had one condition, that is, he would not enter the dense fog, only on the periphery, and would give Lin Fan a small wooden boat, so that Lin Fan could enter the fog alone, and Li Guoqiang would wait for Lin Fan in the same place at that time, at most fifteen days, if Lin Fan did not come out, Li Guoqiang would have to return.
"Set sail, set sail~~ Ma Lao Liu, you haven't eaten enough"
Li Guoqiang shouted, Li Guoqiang did not have many boatmen, plus he himself had a total of thirteen people, fortunately, the sun was good today, and the wind was enough, so a large passenger ship, carrying only one rich man's boatmen, set off in the direction of Zor Island.
"This is your room, if you are bored, you can go for a ride on the deck"
Li Guoqiang led Lin Fan to a small room in the cabin, showing two rows of white teeth and smiling.
"Boatman, how long does it take to get to Zoel Island?"
Lin Fan is quite satisfied with this room, although the space is not large, but the wooden bed and wooden table are all available, as the old saying goes: although the sparrow is small, it also has all the internal organs.
"It's hard to say, it mainly depends on whether there is wind and weather, at the current rate, it will take ten days", Li Guoqiang said after calculation
"Ten days, I thought it would be a thousand miles a day", Lin Fan opened his mouth wide and said in surprise.
"Little brother, are you kidding? The waterway is slower than the land route, don't worry, I'm a professional boatman, as long as nothing happens, I will send you to the outside of the dense fog on Zor Island within 15 days."
After Li Guoqiang finished speaking, he asked Lin Fan to walk around the boat by himself, and if he had three meals, he would order the boatman to send it to this room.
......
"Gross..."
Lin Fan was holding on to the wooden fence on the deck and vomiting wildly, it has been three days since he went to sea, and I don't know how many times Lin Fan has vomited, Lin Fan's face has been pale in the past three days, and he has lost no less than ten pounds.
"Come on, come on, take a drink"
Li Guoqiang held a bowl of wine for Lin Fan to drink, looked at Lin Fan lying on the deck chair and looked like he was about to sink into the ground, and then said: "Young man, haven't you ever been to the sea? It's okay, you will get used to it in two days, just drink some wine and go back to your room to sleep well."
In Li Guoqiang's eyes, Lin Fan is a rich man, in addition to paying a large sum of gold, even the water and food prepared by Li Guoqiang for several months before departure are out of Lin Fan's pocket, sometimes Li Guoqiang really doesn't understand, this one-armed young man doesn't seem to have anything on his body, how can he hold so much gold, fortunately, Li Guoqiang and other shipwrights are not bad-hearted, otherwise if they had bad intentions, Lin Fan would have been robbed a long time ago, and his body would have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
Drink some wine and get some sleep, this trick is not to mention very good, at least Lin Fan will not vomit anymore after waking up, except for being slightly dizzy.
"How's it going, lad?"
At this time, night had fallen, the moonlight was sprinkled on the calm sea, and the passenger ship could only move slowly without any wind, Li Guoqiang held a purple sand teapot in his right hand, took a sip of strong tea from the spout, and said with a smile when he saw Lin Fan walking to the deck.
"It's much better, why does your wine taste different from other wines?"
Thinking of the big bowl of wine he drank during the day, Lin Fan asked in wonder, in addition to the different tastes of this wine, it is actually easy to get drunk, although Lin Fan said that it is not a thousand glasses, but the amount of wine is still quite good, how can he fall asleep after drinking.
"Haha, young man, let me tell you, that's my special wine, specially prepared for you seasickness," Li Guoqiang laughed.
"This ...... This...... What is this? How can it shine?"
Lin Fan walked to the guardrail and looked at the sea, and saw a large number of luminous objects floating on the sea, the flickering light was like tongues of fire of different colors, which were very beautiful.
"These are all some parasitic creatures such as fish, shrimp, shellfish, etc., as for why they glow, you see, parasitic life is attached to fish, shrimp and shellfish, and fish and shrimp are their symbionts, so in the dark they will glow, providing light source for fish, shrimp and shellfish, so that fish and shrimp can forage and intimidate natural enemies", Li Guoqiang also walked to the edge of the guardrail and quietly looked at this beautiful scenery.
"Symbiosis, coexistence, sharing"
Lin Fan looked at the colorful lights on the sea, nodded thoughtfully, and followed Li Guoqiang, quietly watching, after a while, Lin Fan's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly ran into his room, leaving Li Guoqiang in confusion.
Lin Fan is about to break through, and he understands the concept of coexistence of creatures and parasites in the ocean, and the spirit pool also feels that he wants to break through to the next small realm, but fortunately, the movement of this breakthrough is not big, and the prohibition of this spirit pool is solved, and there is no need for Lin Fan to do anything, the spirit pool has expanded the area by itself, and before he feels the new power of the breakthrough, the prohibition has sealed the spirit pool again.
"It's so seamless."
Lin Fan muttered, although the spirit pool was sealed, he could also feel the benefits brought by breaking through the fifth heaven of the god transformation period to the sixth heaven, that is, whether it was hearing and vision, it had improved a bit, but Lin Fan still had questions, didn't it mean that he needed to consolidate it after being promoted to the small realm, and he could only be promoted to the next realm after the Great Perfection, how could he continue to promote the small realm in a daze, calculating how long it was only in the mortal world, he had actually risen to five small realms, Lin Fan always felt incredible.
"Little brother, what happened to you just now?", Lin Fan walked back to the deck, and Li Guoqiang asked.
"It's okay, it's just an internal emergency", Lin Fan said flickeringly.
A gust of wind swept through Lin Fan's terrible scarred face, Lin Fan squinted, watching the colorful light on the sea gradually disappear, but Li Guoqiang frowned.
"It's not good, everyone cheer up, Ma Lao Liu, you go to the cabin, wake up all the resting people, go quickly", Li Guoqiang's eyes widened, ran to the rudder pole to take the helm, and shouted at Ma Lao Liu.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
A boatman climbed down from the lookout pole on the deck, ran to Li Guoqiang and said that this boatman only became Li Guoqiang's boatman in the middle of this year, and he is not very experienced.
"You follow Ma Lao Liu closely, you will do whatever he tells you to do", Li Guoqiang was extremely serious at this time.
"Boatman, what's wrong?"
Lin Fan was confused, why did he suddenly make it as if something big had happened.
"Little brother, you go back to the room immediately, and it is estimated that the sea is about to start tossing, and you will be in danger on the deck."
Li Guoqiang has sufficient sailing experience, and after seeing the light on the sea disappear, he knows that it is either a tsunami or a gale, and the fish, shrimp and crabs in this sea are very ghostly, as creatures in the sea, it is their instinct to predict the impending danger.
"Danger?
As soon as Lin Fan's words fell, a gust of wind suddenly blew on the dark night sea, blowing the speed of the passenger ship faster, and the swishing wind blew on Lin Fan's body, making him tremble.
The night wind was blowing, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, the sky also sounded thunder, torrential rain, and the raindrops covered Lin Fan's body with thunderbolts, and staying on the deck couldn't help, Lin Fan simply walked into the cabin and returned to his room.
"Full sails, full sails, everyone sticks to their posts"
Li Guoqiang was dressed in a lily coat and stood on the deck constantly directing the shipwrights.
"Boss, look at that"
A boatman pointed to the sea in the distance in horror, and looked in the direction of the boatman's finger, and by the thunder, Li Guoqiang squinted his eyes, and there was a tsunami about ten zhang high.
"Full speed ahead, block, while this tsunami is not yet fully formed, hurry up"
Li Guoqiang roared, whether he would be buried in the belly of the fish now, it depends on whether he can take advantage of the tsunami before it is fully formed, and rush straight up with the tsunami of 45 degrees.
Lin Fan sat on the wooden bed in the room, his right hand tightly grasped the fixed bed pole, looking at the wooden table for a while, left and right, one time forward and one backward with the wooden boat rocking, listening to the thunder and rain outside the room, as well as the howling sound of the strong wind, he could only pray that all this would end quickly, otherwise he would go to the sea to see the dragon lord.
