Chapter 4 Replacement
The Isle of Watch is located at the very center of the Exiled Sea, and it is also the largest island in the entire sea, and it is more accurate to say that the Isle of Overwatch is more of a small continent than an island.
More than 3,000 small islands scattered in the sea area, the stars are like the moon, clustered around the central watch island. Barren Mountain Island is the most ordinary island in the eastern waters of Shouwang Island.
On Barren Mountain Island, there are rolling barren mountains all around, and only in the middle is a basin, which is surrounded by mountains. The island's only source of living water is in the very center of the basin. Therefore, the largest human gathering area on Barren Mountain Island is surrounded by this living water source, densely spread outward, thus forming the current Barren Mountain City.
In this world, there is no law, there is no court, the fist is the only truth, and naturally, this only source of living water is obviously occupied by the owner of the largest fist on this island. Others either cling to the owner of the island and saddle his horses in exchange for water, or they exchange them for valuable items.
But regardless of whether they are attached to the island owner or not, on the entire island, most people's lives are in the thoughts of the island owner. Internal strength is a luxury consumable in this world, for those ordinary internal strength masters, although everyone will not take the initiative to provoke, but they are not so afraid, on the contrary, some people who practice foreign exercises, relying on their own strong flesh, suppress others, this kind of person, is the mainstream of the barren mountain island, and even the entire exiled sea. And the owner of Barren Mountain Island is a martial artist with extremely high kung fu.
According to the old man's introduction, when the owner of Barren Mountain Island was first exiled here, he was originally cultivating both internally and externally, but unfortunately the harsh environment made him give up his internal cultivation and specialize in external strength.
Twenty years ago, the former owner of Barren Mountain Island was killed by the current owner, and the position of the owner of the island fell to the current one. The current owner of the island basically doesn't ask about trivial matters on the island, and other people's lives and deaths have nothing to do with him, and everything on the island is mainly controlled by the four King Kongs under his door and the Thirteen Taibao. The Four King Kong and the Thirteen Taibao are not a fixed group of people, as long as someone kills one of them, then this person automatically becomes the new Four King Kong or the Thirteen Taibao.
In other words, on Barren Mountain Island, as long as your fists are hard enough, let alone the Four King Kongs, no one will ask if you kill the island owner. Of course, it is not easy to be the owner of an island, at least, it has been more than 20 years, and I have never heard of anyone challenging the current owner of the island and still survive. However, the four King Kongs and the Thirteen Taibao on the island are often replaced.
The current Four King Kong and the Thirteen Taibao, all of them are good at foreign kung fu, and the length of time they occupy the position is also different, the longest serving person has been doing it for almost ten years, and the shortest one has only been in office for more than three months!
On the island, as long as you have enough strength, killing a few people is simply the same as playing, in Barren Mountain City, there will be a lot of bloody cases almost every day, some may be because of jealousy, some may be because of fierce fighting, some, may be because of a glass of water, a mouthful of food, of course, there are also simply want to kill. Here, no one stands on the moral high ground to point fingers at you, asking you to abide by loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety, here, there is no constraint, in a word, as long as you are strong enough, you can have everything in this world.
The old man, originally one of the thirteen Taibao, was also a powerful figure on the barren mountain island, and then because of old age and frailty, he was almost killed by the newcomer, although he barely saved his life later, but he also lost the position of the thirteenth Taibao.
Because of this incident, the old man saw through the rights and wrongs, grievances and grievances on the island, so he took his wife and children, left the barren mountain city, came to the seaside, found a puddle of water that barely sustained life, and settled down.
Fortunately, although there is only one living water source on the island, there are still many muddy puddles like this. Moreover, the muddy puddle is also a branch of the living water source, but it is too far and too small, and only a little water can slowly seep out of the ground, but this is enough for this group of old and weak women and children.
Away from the distractions of the barren mountain city, plus for some reason, no one came to trouble the old man, and the old man was happy to stay here, waiting for death in peace...
"It's better to look at it!" Listening to the old man's words, Dusk sighed with emotion.
"Life is forced, like the old man now, even if he has the heart to win, he has no strength to win, rather than die in the hands of that group of young and strong young men, it is better to stay away from strife, and he can be regarded as able to live for a long time!" The old man smiled lightly.
"This one too!" Dusk agreed with the old man's words very much, and said with a smile: "Is it true that it is plain and calm!" ”
"Yes, our group of people is not like you, we still have this splendid future and wonderful life in the outside world!" With a long sigh, the old man whispered to the dusk: "So, cherish the outside world, and live our share outside!" ”
"Don't worry!" Nodding emotionally, he paused for a while, digested the information in his heart, and then asked: "By the way, old man, I heard you say before, this world will come to a group of people every ten years to experience, what is the relationship between you and them!" ”
The mission is to kill the inhabitants of the island, and if the two sides live in harmony, Dusk may not be able to do it.
"Hehe..." The old man glanced at the young man's package, and said meaningfully: "This world is the law of the jungle, and resources are scarce, and you group of people have brought a whole body of treasures here, you tell me, what is the relationship between the hungry jackals and a group of rich sheep!" ”
"Doesn't that mean that many people who come to experience it will die here!" Dusk's heart moved, a trace of nervousness flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly asked.
"It depends on the situation, at the beginning, when the internal strength is full, the strength of the newcomers who have come to practice is still good, but when their internal strength is almost consumed, they are not the opponents of the islanders. At that time, obediently handing over the belongings on your body may be able to save your life, if you don't want to, then the result..." With a faint smile, the old man gave the young man an understandable look.
"Okay, I see!" The simple truth that the husband is not guilty and is guilty is still very clear at dusk, no wonder when he first came, the group of women and teenagers looked at him with such greed and desire, it turned out that it was because of what he had brought.
"So, the old man advises you that when you encounter danger, you should give up when you should give up, you can get it again if you have no things, and if you lose your life, then there will be nothing!" The old man said bitterly.
"Hmm!" Nodding, Dusk suddenly stood up, arched his hand to the old man, and said, "Thank you seniors for your advice, it's not too early, and it's time for me to leave!" ”
"Uh..." was a little stunned by the young man's sudden resignation, and the old man immediately eagerly said: "Didn't you say that it was a good meal, it was still early, and it was never too late to leave after eating!" ”
"No!" The corners of his mouth were hooked, Dusk tightened the package on his body, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "While it's still early, I want to go to Barren Mountain City to have a look first!" ”
