Chapter 286: Returning to the Island of Trials [Asking for a Monthly Pass, Subscribing] (2/4)
With all that to say, Shadow and Aoki fell silent again.
At the signal of the shadow, Aoki picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.
Actually, Aoki is very fond of both tea and coffee.
It was bitter at first, then the bitterness faded away, and a faint sweetness appeared in the mouth.
The contrast between sweet and bitter strokes accentuates its true taste.
Aoki doesn't care about what tea leaves or what coffee, he just likes the aftertaste after drinking it, which is different from people like Kage who pay attention to the tea ceremony.
Aoki drank the tea in the cup, and the bitterness in his mouth became stronger.
Eige shook her head and poured Aoki another glass.
To be able to make a king-level powerhouse pour water, Aoki is also rare.
"It's a bit of a waste for you to drink this kind of good tea." Ying said lightly, a little sighing, more still sighing.
The hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and Aoki said with a smile, "For me, it doesn't matter what tea leaves and what tea ceremony, the important thing is that the bitterer the tea, the stronger the final aftertaste." ”
The shadow who tasted the tea was stunned, Aoki's words didn't sound like they were spoken by someone his age, even if he had experienced more than the average peer, but it didn't sound like his age.
Without making the two of them wait long, the boat sailed.
Originally, Shadow was waiting for Aoki's arrival, but now that Aoki has arrived, although their boatswain has now been sent to emergency due to excessive blood loss, however, the boatswain is not very important, is it?
Just do it by someone else.
The freighter of Team Rocket is still ordinary, and according to a special route, it is heading for Trial Island, and the ship is loaded with all kinds of materials.
In a lavish room, there is a thin middle-aged man, looking at the video call on the wall, holding his head with one hand, listening to the report of his subordinates.
If Aoki had been here, he might have been able to recognize that the person on the video call was the captain who had appeared on the freighter earlier.
I saw that he was now very respectful and told what happened before word for word.
After listening to the report, the emaciated middle-aged man said with a smile, "So, one of you captains and squadron leaders, you failed to find out the details of that kid, and you were abolished in vain?" ”
He had a smile on his face when he spoke, but no one who saw it would think he was smiling happily.
Suddenly, a large amount of sweat appeared on the captain's face.
Then he immediately said what the shadow said, as it was.
"Oh? I heard that he failed in his last mission and his strength was seriously damaged.
If it was before, I would have respected him for three points, but now I know when I play. ”
According to the division of the strength of the Heavenly King, the shadow strength is much stronger than him, but the last time the shadow strength was greatly damaged, and now no one knows the specific strength.
"Forget it, it's not interesting, you go and tell that stinky boy, if this trial doesn't get the result I want, get out of the dead team, and next time you start a war with the alliance, let him rush to the first one."
"Yes!" The captain hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
Now it's the Dead Dao Friend who doesn't die the Poor Dao.
The video phone was turned off, but the emaciated middle-aged man's expression was gloomy, "Shadow group, do you think it's the previous shadow group?" ”
Two days later.
Team Rocket's freighter successfully arrives at the Isle of Trials.
In the past two days, except for the beginning when Aoki and Kage sat together and drank tea, the rest of the day was spent in his room tinkering with some things that might be used on the Trials Island.
The first is the preparation for the subordinates that Aoki had subdued on the Trial Island before.
I don't know how many people have followed me after I have been away for such a long time.
Or rather, how many people are truly following him, Aoki doesn't know, and he doesn't want to figure it out.
It's just that since leaving the Island of Trials this time, those who choose to follow themselves, no matter what they planned before, must choose to be true to themselves in the future, which is the standard that Aoki sets for these people.
And what he tinkered with in the room was also related to this purpose.
I didn't see Ei for two days, and when Aoki got off the ship, I didn't see him either.
Perhaps, after Aoki got on the boat, Shadow had already left.
A king-level powerhouse, do you still need to take a boat all the time when you come here?
Not necessarily.
Ignore the disappearance of the shadow.
Aoki stepped on the bloody muddy soil, and a mixture of fishy and earthy smells came to his face.
This is the Island of Trials.
If you look at it from the outside, you can't actually see the whole picture of Trial Island, and it is better to say that it is an island, but it is better to say that it is a small landmass, because Aoki still does not know how deep Trial Island is.
But to be able to carve out such an unknown place on the sea, I have to say that the strength of Team Rocket is amazing.
It is also possible that the place can only be reached by taking a boat exclusive to Team Rocket.
Because Aoki had no windows in the cabin when he came, and after actually sailing into the sea, Aoki was told that he was not allowed to go out of his room until he was about to arrive.
So how to get to this place, I don't know, how to leave, Aoki only has a general direction.
Team Rocket's protection of this place is very tight.
The sailors were busy carrying goods, and no one paid attention to Aoki.
In this way, Aoki quietly returned to the trial island, and there was only one day left before the end of the three-month trial.
The Dark Raven stood on Aoki's shoulder, walking on the still somewhat familiar land, and slowly walked towards the base of the rocket.
There was not a single person along the way.
Of the original base of 300 people, there may not even be 100 people now.
In his previous life, Aoki did not leave the island temporarily, so he experienced the cruelty of the trial island throughout the whole process, and he also knew that the later he went, the more bloody it became.
After walking through the familiar ridge long passage, I entered the square of the base again.
In the middle of the square, there was still a pitch-black trial stone, which was no longer shiny, but stained with some blood, but no one cleaned it.
The makeshift arena that Aoki had created when he fought Guga was still there, but the dried blood stains on it could be seen everywhere.
From this, you can imagine how cruel the Island of Trials will be in the time that follows.
Aoki only glanced slightly, not paying attention to the smell of blood, and strolled towards the temporary structure that Guga and his men had built earlier.
After entering the base, he still didn't see anyone, which surprised Aoki a little.
Even if there are more people who die, there won't be many people in Team Rocket's base, right?
Don't you care about the poisonous snake?
Slowly, Aoki understood that it was not that there was no one left, but because the final trial was going to start tomorrow, so these people didn't have the heart to intrigue, so they returned to their own forces and fought for the last chance to survive.
Those who can qualify are recuperating, and those who can't qualify are frantically looking for thighs that can take them alive.
