Chapter 448: The Big Mistake
It is only more than 300 miles away, and for the krakens, it cannot be called "distance" at all. They swam for a while, and there they were. So, there are no special boats to go to the Island of Fire.
Xiangxiang said: "Scorpion Beach is a small city. Inside and outside the city, Xiangxiang has seen it, and in recent times, there has been no big man like Xianjun. Also, there's nothing interesting and new in town. And there are a lot of large and small islands on the Flame Island, so why don't we go there and have a look. β
From the map she brought back, Mu Wan also noticed it. The Isle of Fire is on the edge of a large group of islands. Moreover, it is only 10,000 miles away from the southernmost tip of the Xiyanzhou continent. She nodded, "It's fine." Let's go to these islands to have a look, and there are signs of the infiltration of Buddhist cultivation in Xiyanzhou. Along the way, she could conclude that there was not much contact between the sea tribes in the deep sea and the Buddhist cultivation in Xiyanzhou. So, what about the demons on the island?
So, after the four of them agreed, they decided to wait until early in the morning to set off. First, if you want to go deep into the unfamiliar island group, you have to make some preparations; Second, there are not many fewer demon clans that come out during the day than Sanssouci City.
After a few more days in the space, the first rays of light finally appeared outside. Sure that the immortal monarchs had never been here, Mu Wan took the demon spirit pill, turned into a blonde and blue-eyed sea snake banshee, stepped on a cluster of "waves", and traveled all the way south to the Flame Island.
This "wave" is a magic weapon specially made for her in the dark night for this trip. It looks like a wave of spray. It is also a necessary means of transportation at present. The demons in the deep sea are not good at flying. She is a sea snake demon in the Jindan realm, but she does not have her own natal water magic weapon. Instead, he stepped on auspicious clouds and flew in the air, which looked like a fake. However, this water magic weapon is just an ordinary treasure, not her natal magic weapon, which is used to bluff people and serve as a faΓ§ade.
The speed of the "waves" is very fast, and the sea route of more than 300 miles takes less than a pillar of incense. It's just that along the way, Mu Wan noticed that both the wind direction and the sea flow direction were a little abnormal. It looked different from what she had seen before. The psychological shadow of the immortal monarchs I met before has not completely dissipated. So he used his divine sense to tell Xiangxiang and asked her if she knew what was going on.
Xiangxiang quickly replied: Oh. This is called an ocean current. It was the seaweeds who told Xiangxiang. The current is called a cold current. It's reversed. At the time of the fire festival, there is a positive warm ocean current passing by. At that time, it was more convenient to go from Scorpion Beach to Flame Island by going down the river.
Mu Wan understood-it turns out that the flow of the sea is the same as the wind on land. Different seasons. The wind direction is different.
This is a phenomenon and experience that cannot be experienced while sitting in a treasure ship.
The Island of Flames is a typical volcano. Not small, the mountain is conical in shape, except for a dense jungle at the foot of the mountain. The rest of the place is bare rust-red rock.
The island was still dozens of miles away, and Mu Wan hit three hidden charms on his body. In order not to alarm the seabird demon on the island, she did not use her divine sense to investigate, but approached and sensed the situation on the island with her breath. The cultivation is limited, and the island is not small. Her aura perception range was just enough to cover the half of the island on the other side.
As a result, she discovered that the Sea Bird Demon Clan lived in the jungle at the foot of the south-facing mountain. Some of the thick treetops, some of which are made of branches and broad leaves, are simple herringbone huts. The sea bird demons live in these large and small shacks. Now, the shacks are mostly empty, and there is a large thick rattan pot in the center. It was covered with thick hay and filled with green eggs that were two sizes larger than a goose egg. There are more than a dozen of them, and there are five of them. Needless to say, these must be seabird eggs.
In addition, Mu Wan also saw a large shack that stood out from the rest: first, it was round; secondly, it is the largest, five times larger than the average herringbone shack; thirdly, it is located right in the middle of all the shacks; Also, there are more than 20 breaths in the big shack.
More than a dozen young birds with gray fluff are chattering around a large round plate. In the corner not far away, a few old demons with crane skin and chicken bones also gathered together, weaving a huge thick fishing net. Among them, the highest cultivation is only in the early stage of foundation building.
In the grass under the big shack squatted two young men with fiery red hair and blue mouths. Both of them held a wooden shield in one hand, a spear in the other, a **** upper body and two legs, and a fishskin skirt more than a foot long tied around their waists. It should be in charge of vigilance. They are the only two prime-aged sea bird demons on the island at this moment, one is in the middle stage of foundation building, and the other is in the early stage of foundation building.
What about the other adult sea birds?
Mu Wan suddenly realized a problem: birds and humans have similar work and rest habits, and they also work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
In other words, by now, most of the seabird demons should go out to hunt.
She was also intrigued by the dark green broad-leaved trees used to build the huts, which were completely absent in the groves at the foot of the mountain. Where did the seabird goblin get so many broad leaves?
Could it be the other side of the island? Injecting a stream of aura into her legs, Mu Wan sped up and circled to the other side of the Flame Island.
This side must have just been hit by a strong wind. At the foot of the mountain, a small half of the trees fell horizontally, and most of them had broken branches and leaves. The fracture is very new, it has fallen recently. Some old broadleaf trees can also be seen in the ruins. Also, there is no tree with broad leaves on this side.
Mu was late: no wonder she thought that the shacks she had seen earlier were all new. It turned out that the seabird demons had just moved. It is clear that before the tempest, they lived in the bushes on this side of the island.
She wondered why these seabird demons would rather move around than move to a place of peace and well-being that was not attacked by the wind. Also, why are they so obsessed with broad leaves, instead of taking the nearest material and building a nest directly on the existing leaves or grass on the island?
Shaking her head, she went up to the island from this side, and said in her heart: The ink is black, and I like to explore gossip like Xiangxiang.
Mu Wan put away the "waves", walked through the gravel beach, and walked quickly into the nearest grass.
Looking around, she said with her divine sense: Come out.
Xiangxiang couldn't sit still in the space for a long time. It was the first one to come out - those green-skinned eggs were so big, they looked delicious!
The night and Chang Long came out at about the same time. Both of them were forbidden by Xiangxiang, and they couldn't see the outside in the space. So, when they came out, they all quickly looked around.
After getting along with Xiangxiang for so long, Mu Wan knew her temperament well, and reluctantly ordered: "Xiangxiang, first explore the situation on the island." Before, she felt a little strange in her heart, but she couldn't tell what she thought was strange. I saw Xiangxiang's foodie appearance. It dawned on her that most of the shacks had seabird eggs in them. There is no demon guard, and there is no formation or prohibition guard, so if you put it there with a big grin, aren't you afraid of being stolen?
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
Xiang Xiang is also aware of this. Nod yes.
She chose a large tree that survived. Place a hand on its trunk. Check out their memories. Soon, a suspicious look appeared on her face.
"Weird." Muttering, she replaced it with another big tree.
Mu Wan saw this. Realize that the Island of Fire is not as simple as it seems.
Sure enough, half a quarter of an hour later, Xiangxiang said with a strange expression: "Those bird eggs are born with fire poison and can't be eaten. β
"Fire poison?" Mu Wan asked puzzled, "What is it?" β
Xiangxiang shook her head: "What is it exactly, there are no plants here that have spiritual intelligence, so I can't find out." What Xiang Xiang saw was that because of this fire poison, some seabird eggs would be spoiled every month. Also, the seabird fairies only give birth once in decades. Moreover, the hatching period of seabird eggs is very long, it seems to take several years. Due to the strong winds brought by the currents, they have to move back and forth once a year. They just moved over there a few days ago. In about two months, they will move back again. It's like that every year. The eggs of seabirds that have not broken are placed in large rattan pots, and they are moved back and forth before they hatch many times. Also, you can only see hatching eggs here, and there have never been cases of laying eggs and baby seabirds being born out of their shells, so I guess it's over there. Xiangxiang will go over there and take a look. "She's a little upset - the eggs that can't be eaten are really frustrating!
Mu Wan instructed: "Be careful. Mainly look at the situation of the Bath Fire Festival. β
"Got it." Xiang Xiang waved her hand and walked to the other side of the bird.
"I'll go to the crater." Dark Night said.
Chang Long also said: "I'll go with Hei Ye." β
Mu Wan nodded: "I'll wait for you here." The crater above, she had sensed with her breath, was a circular crater that had been concave nearly ten feet down. There is no grass in the pit. There are a lot of rocks piled up at the bottom, and some of the crevices have a faint red glow. Much smaller than that volcano in Aoki Mine. The red glow was emitted by tumbling, hot volcanic magma. She had seen too much in the alchemy room, so there was no need to go up and check it out. If you have this time, you might as well take a walk at the bottom of the mountain. The sunny grass is crawling with wisteria. It seems that a few of them are 100 years old. Wisteria has long been extinct in Donghuazhou. Related introductions, she saw in a collection of books given by her ancestors.
The night and the dragon are together, like two big birds, one in front of the other, swishing, swishing towards the crater at the top of the mountain.
Xiangxiang's speed was very fast, and within a quarter of an hour, she returned. At that time, Mu Wan was squatting in the grass, digging a century-old wisteria.
"Sister, Xiangxiang knows what the Fire Festival does!" Xiangxiang ran over with a gossip on her face.
Mu Wan also dug out this wisteria completely, coiled it into a ball, put it into a jade box, got up and asked, "What is it for?" β
"Remove the fire poison from the seabird eggs!" Xiang Xiang said, "The seabird demons took the fire from the crater, lit piles of fires, wrapped the seabird eggs that had not broken in special medicinal mud, and placed them near the fire. The priest recited the incantation as he sped through the fire. All the adult sea-bird demons also followed the priest and should be with the priest. It looked as if they were singing and dancing in the fire. Seabird eggs are cleaned of fire poison once a year before hatching. They would rather move twice a year than move out of the area because the special mud used in the crater ash. Also, all the seabirds believe that their spells can keep fire at bay. So, they walked through the fire without being scared at all. β
Oh, it turned out to be a big misunderstanding. Mu Wan asked again, "Have you found the content of the spell?" β
Xiangxiang shook her head: "It's a strange language, I don't understand it at all." β
