Chapter 234: The Man Behind It

At night, Gollum Island stands in the sea breeze, and under the moonlight, it looks extremely abrupt.

After the third wave of Shadow Hunters left, they successfully defended Gollum Island in celebration. The islanders are serving up fine wine and some edible delicacies that are unique to the sea.

On the island, bonfires are rising, the sound of whirring in the barren sea is continuous, and the waves are rising and falling, trying to roll up a huge storm.

Valentine was drunk and walked alone on the beach of Gollum Island.

"Lalala...... Beautiful mushroom ...... You're my ......"

"Lalala......"

Humming an unknown tune and holding a wine bag in his hand, he staggered along the beach.

Suddenly, he stopped. He shook his head vigorously and quickly turned around.

However, there was nothing behind him, except for the pitch black of the barren sea and the faint glow of fire on Gollum Island.

"Don't move!"

Just as he was about to turn his head, a dagger was placed around his neck, and a familiar voice came out from behind.

............

While everyone was celebrating, Li Bai quietly left the crowd.

He was very relieved that the people of the Demon Lord Boy Sect had fulfilled their promise, and even in this case, they had not left any of the people of Lin'an behind. Thinking about it, he became even more curious about the sect leader back then, who was he and why he did it?

The Venus Boy, the White Jade Boy, and the Guomu Boy were healing the Shaoyang Boy, so they didn't attend the party.

The islanders are always simple, and even if there are not so many people, they still have a lot of fun. Singing and dancing, playing the crown to celebrate.

Walking on the beach, Li Bai once again remembered what Hua Wumi said, the existence of the mirage has always pierced a thorn in Li Bai's heart.

Could it be that in front of the tree, he is just a parasite? Not even a butterfly.

Just when Li Bai was thinking deeply, he happened to meet Valentine, who was being held hostage.

Li Bai saw Valentine's embarrassed face, and looked at the face of the person behind him, and became nervous again.

"Xu Bai, isn't he gone?"

Li Bai stepped forward and looked at Xu Bai, ready to make a move at any time.

"Good wine...... Good wine......"

Valentine is being held hostage, but still enjoying his good wine in his dreams.

Just as Li Bai was about to make a move, Xu Bai put away the dagger in his hand and pushed Valentin away.

Valentine fell to the sand at once, and with great pleasure, he lay down and fell asleep.

"What are you doing here?" asked Li Bai.

He looked at Xu Bai's cold appearance, but he didn't feel the killing intent at all, so he slowly walked in front of him.

Xu Bai looked proud, unwilling to talk too close to Li Bai. He turned his head away and looked at the vast expanse of the barren sea.

After being silent for a while, Xu Bai said, "I'm wondering, is the woman in your body the true god that people have always believed in?"

His words were gentle, and he did not have the arrogance of the daytime, but revealed a faint sadness.

Li Bai looked at Valentine who was lying on the ground, and suddenly saw him squinting at Li Bai and Xu Bai.

"Well, you don't have to pretend to be drunk. I do have something to say to you!"

Valentine, knowing that he had been caught pretending to be drunk, smiled awkwardly and immediately got up from the ground.

"Funny!"

Xu Bai glanced at Valentine, very disdainful.

"I got a Dora Box Magic Crystal from both of you. Since you really want to know the truth of the matter, as long as you promise to help me do something, I can tell you your questions now!"

"The woman you see today is called Hua Wumi, and she is a cultivator of the heavens. I don't know if she's the true God, and I don't know if the true God you say exists!

For some reason, she had to be attached to the "Ink Brush Diagram" inside my body. At the same time, she asked me to help her collect the complete Dora Box Magic Crystal.

As for the Dora Box Crystal, this involves something that we can't explain even more. ”

Valentine suddenly jumped in front of Li Bai, in good spirits, and showed no signs of drinking at all: "What's the matter?"

"The Warrior Continent where we are located is a prison, a demon prison. As for the sky we see, the barren sea we see, all things, including ourselves, are in this prison. What's even more unbelievable is that this prison is inside a demon beast!"

"What monsters, how can it be ......?"

Valentine wanted to refute, but when he looked at the sky of Gollum Island, he felt that maybe Li Bai had a point.

"Hua Wumi told me that the Demon Prison is inside a mirage. And we are all food for mirages. When the cultivators of the Warrior Continent reach a certain level, the mirage beast will find a way to pick out the cultivators with high strength and then digest them!"

Li Bai did not mention the "Demon Spirit Sacred Crystal" and the way to escape from the mirage, lest Valentine and Xu Bai suddenly go crazy and do something impulsive.

"When you say how you choose a mirage, do you mean Monroe the Warrior?"

Xu Bai asked seriously, obviously convinced of what Li Bai said.

"Exactly!"

Subsequently, Xu Bai took out a piece of animal skin from his arms and threw it to Li Bai.

"This is what I found in the Codex of my predecessors on Shadow Hunter Island. It is recorded on the animal skin that in the past, a black flood broke out in the Warrior Continent, and countless lives were killed and injured. Subsequently, cultivators of spiritual power, divine power, mana power, and demonic power emerged one after another, and the cultivation system of the entire continent also changed, and the cultivators became more and more powerful. Then, there was a game on the Warriors continent in the name of the above selection, the Warriors Monroe. It's a pity that in the end, all the cultivators who participated in the Warrior Monroe Race disappeared. ”

Valentine listened attentively, snatched the animal skin from Li Bai's hand, and asked, "Disappeared? Did you go to the heavens?"

Valentine's words immediately attracted the attention of Li Bai and Xu Bai.

In other words, if the Warriors Monroe is really a selection competition, then it makes sense for God to select really good people to go to God.

As for the mirage beast that Li Bai said, it may just be a lie made up by Hua Wumi in order to let Li Bai find the Demon Spirit Saint Crystal.

Xu Bai thought for a while, slowly spit out two words, and said, "No......"

"The purpose of the Warrior Monroe is to select those cultivators who are superior in strength. In the end, it doesn't matter if those cultivators go to the heavens or are digested by mirages. There is a question as to who is manipulating Monroe?"

Xu Bai's question is also the question of Li Bai and Valentine. Whatever the outcome and purpose of the Warrior Monroe, finding the people behind the tryouts is the only way to find out the truth of the matter.

"Heh......"

Xu Bai sneered and said, "The Warrior Monroe Race is related to the Monroe Palace, I will go to the Monroe Hall to investigate first, and before I get the results, I hope you are still alive......"

Then, Xu Bai took a few steps back and disappeared into the darkness.

Valentine rubbed his head and smiled happily.

"Friend, I'm going to have another drink...... The wine here is very good, you must try it!"

With doubts, Li Bai took out the Demon Saint Crystal in his hand and fell into deep thought again.
