Chapter 24 Port of Texas (3)
The joke was almost over, and Old Man Wei simply stood up and added water to Wang Jifei, and slowly talked about the matter.
Speaking of which, the matter of the Wind Stone and the matter of Liu Cui are quite the same thing. There is a large island called Huaguo Island in the northeast of Dezhou Port, and the wind on the island is strong all year round. The one in the middle of the island is called Jifeng Mountain, and the wind blows out of the mountain, and Wei Yixiao's Jifeng Stone is also taken from there.
At the end of August, Liu Cui's brother Liu Ming, who was dependent on him, went to Huaguo Island to collect medicine and hunt for treasures with others, but there was no news as soon as he went. Liu Cui, a weak woman, really had no choice but to bring it up: whoever could take her to the island to find her brother would commit herself to being a concubine. It's just that Huaguo Island is extremely dangerous, with all kinds of poisons everywhere, and ordinary cultivators will not risk it for the sake of an ordinary woman.
After saying this, Wei Yixiao was a little depressed. "Xiao Wang, you are an alchemist, I don't know if you have a way to restrain these poisons, if it's convenient, help Liu Cui, this girl. ”
As soon as the words fell, Liu Cui, whose face was full of tears, ran into the house, bowed to Wang Jifei Yingying, and knelt on the ground.
"I beg my son to have mercy on Xiaocui and take me to Huaguo Island. As long as she can find her brother's whereabouts, Xiaocui is willing to be a cow and a horse, and serve her son for the rest of her life......"
Wang Jifei, who didn't expect to encounter this situation, looked at Liu Cui with a pear blossom with rain, and didn't know what to do for a while.
At this time, Wei Yixiao on the side went up to help Liu Cui and said.
"Xiao Wang, I think you are also a decent person, so I told you this. It's a pity that I'm old, and I can't do anything about those poisonous things......"
"Well, I'll do my best. However, I still have important things to do, and I may not have time for a while after the auction, so I need to wait. ”
"That's fine, let's study your book, haha......"
In the next four or five days, Wang Jifei lived relatively easily, every day, in addition to observing Ye Mei'er's situation in the morning and evening, he was either practicing or discussing ancient texts with Wei Yixiao. His belongings were also auctioned off smoothly, and he received five hundred and thirty medium-grade star stones. He also exchanged cultivation resources worth about three hundred medium-grade star stones from the auction house.
But under the operation of the intimate Liu Cui, there were still two hundred and eighty medium-grade star stones that actually entered Wang Jifei's pocket, which means that Liu Cui helped him save fifty.
I really didn't expect an ordinary woman to have such great ability, Wang Jifei couldn't help but look at her a few more times when Liu Cui sent something over, and Liu Cui looked blushing and cloudy.
Fifty medium-grade star stones are not much, but they are not too much, and they are worth half a thunder tiger for Wang Jifei, so he decided to help Liu Cui find Liu Ming as much as possible.
On November 22, dark clouds were gathering in the port of Texas, and last night's rain that was sometimes heavy and sometimes light has not stopped. After seeing Ye Mei'er release the carrier pigeon from the window, he went out in the rain, Wang Jifei hurriedly released his imprint eagle, and he followed Ye Mei'er in gray rain gear to an inn in the east of the city.
From morning to evening, Wang Jifei, who had been blowing a cold wind for a day, suddenly realized that it was already the middle of the night when he was tricked by the cunning Ye Mei'er. It seems that he has been renting the same room for the past few days, and he was discovered by the attentive Ye Mei'er.
Fortunately, the two carrier pigeons caught by the imprint eagle mentioned that Ji Duan's father and son were in Sucheng, which made Wang Jifei not completely cut off the clue.
Ye Mei'er's affairs stopped for the time being, and Wang Jifei began to prepare to go to Huaguo Island.
November 25th.
Wang Jifei and Liu Cui, who was full of suspicion, did not go to the beach, but came directly to a deserted mountain, and after a while, the huge Wind Eagle King carried the two of them into the sky. Huaguo Island is more than 100 kilometers overseas, and it takes seven or eight hours to take a boat, and Wang Jifei is certainly not willing to delay it.
The Wind Eagle King flew all the way, and it only took more than an hour to come to the outer edge of Huaguo Island, seeing that Liu Cui, who was holding his hand tightly, was blown by the wind blowing from the island, Wang Jifei, who wanted to fly directly to the middle of the Wind Mountain, could only let the Eagle King land on the outer edge.
The wind was very strong in the air, but there was no wind on the island, and the whole island seemed to be covered by a shroud formed by the strong wind. After jumping off the Eagle King's back, Wang Jifei saw that there were no tall trees on the island, but a thicket of one or two meters high, and in the middle of it was a high mountain that curved like an eagle's beak in the depths of the bushes.
When Wang Jifei was about to walk forward, Liu Cui, whose face had not disappeared, grabbed him. "Childe, wait a minute, the wind here is high, and the bushes are full of poison, so we can't take risks easily. ”
"Well, these Wei Lao have mentioned it to me, but I don't understand it. Your brother is also an ordinary martial artist, how do they move around here?"
"I don't know, but I heard him say that there is a special medicine that can dispel the poisons on the periphery. ”
"So, your brother and they are just looking for medicine and ore in this periphery, and it shouldn't be a big problem to be careful. You see, this island is so big, and it is overgrown with shrubs, and it will take at least two months to find it slowly. Do you have any other clues?"
"Childe, my brother came by boat, and every time they went ashore on the west side of the island, they looked for something near the shore side. ”
"Alright, let's go west first!"
After riding the Eagle King to the sky again, Wang Jifei saw that there were seven or eight places on the west coast that were suitable for ships to land, and he couldn't help frowning: there were a lot of them, and it was very troublesome to find.
After choosing the landing point in the middle to descend, Wang Jifei had no choice but to try the poison in the bushes first.
He took a whole rooster out of the ring and threw it far under the bushes, and in a moment a group of scorpions came out with their red tails held high, and dragged the rooster's carcass into the bushes in two strokes. Seeing that the size of the scorpion was two or three times larger than that of ordinary ones, Wang Jifei was guessing whether there were any demon beasts in this periphery, when he suddenly heard Liu Cui's scream of "ah", and his arms were hugged by her as soon as he tightened.
To be honest, Liu Cui's figure is quite good, and she can feel her bumpy body through her clothes, but she is a mortal after all, Wang Jifei helped her just take advantage of the situation, and she really didn't want to have too deep involvement.
"Miss Xiaocui, if you're afraid, I'll send you back first! I really can't use my fists and ......kicks when you're here alone," Wang Jifei twitched his arm lightly as he spoke.
"Childe, I'm really embarrassed, it's just that the scorpion is really scary, I can't help but ......" Liu Cui, who realized that something was wrong, immediately let go of her hand.
No matter how eager Liu Cui is to find her brother in her heart, no matter how strong she is, she is a delicate ordinary girl after all. After persevering until late at night, Wang Jifei could only helplessly explain the situation to her.
"Miss Cui. You can also see the situation here, it is not an ordinary person who can stay at all, let alone you are still a girl. Besides, I'm going to go to the middle mountain, what should you do alone? Well, I'll send you back to the city early tomorrow morning, and I'll do my best for your brother's affairs." How?"
Liu Cui, who had tears in her eyes, also knew that she could only be a burden to drag Wang Jifei if she stayed, so she could only nod, take out a jade pendant from her neck and hand it to Wang Jifei.
"Wang Gongzi, this is a jade pendant left by my parents, and my brother also has one around his neck. You can recognize him by it. ”
At noon the next day, Wang Jifei, who came to Huaguo Island again, directly summoned the snake Xiaoer and its little brother to look carefully along the outer edge of the bushes.
This search is three days, if it weren't for the fact that the natal beast snake Xiao Er could slowly devour all kinds of poisons, Wang Jifei really had the urge to give up looking for Liu Ming and go straight to the central Jifeng Mountain.
The corpses of Liu Ming and the others were in a green-eyed spider's nest in the middle of the island, and after killing the demon beasts, Wang Jifei put their bones into the gray space, and brought them back to have an explanation.
The death of Liu Ming and others is expected, and overseas medicine collection is an extremely dangerous thing, and accidents will happen sooner or later. Killing the green-eyed spider himself can be regarded as avenging Liu Ming and them, Wang Jifei just has a headache How to face Liu Cui, the poor girl, after going back.
After sighing, Wang Jifei put two jade pendants of similar shapes into the ring, lifted the long knife and began to move towards the center of the island. The further you go in, the more powerful and poisonous the monsters you encounter.
When he came to the bottom of the mountain, Wang Jifei found that the poison here had been able to affect him, and after killing the first-class demon beast black poisonous spider in front of him with a knife, he untied the spider silk wrapped around his skin, and looked at the gravel ground at the foot of the mountain with a headache.
The vegetation on Mt. Cukikaze is sparse, and most of the area is bare and huge rocks and accumulated gravel and gravel, and countless spiders and scorpions are hidden in it, and Cumulus stone is also mixed in with the stones.
If Wang Jifei wants to find the Wind Stone, he has to face the attacks of countless poisons all the time, and the number is the most headache for insects and demon beasts.
Spiders, scorpions and other things hiding in the rocks crawled out from time to time to harass them, and these little guys really made Wang Jifei unbearable. It took Wang Jifei two days to find only a few fist-sized wind stones, and he gritted his teeth and climbed directly to the top of the mountain.
The top is full of large stones, and in the center of the summit there is a huge hole directly 100 meters long, from which the wind of the whole island gushes. After picking up a fist-sized stone and gently throwing it in, Wang Jifei saw that the stone was suspended in the air after sinking one or two hundred meters, which showed the strength of the wind in the depths of the giant cave.
Looking intently, Wang Jifei found that there were a lot of stones suspended in the depths, and several of them were wind stones.
