CHAPTER 3 CHAPTER 20 THE TEMPLE ON THE ISLAND

The huge mermaid looked at the mermaid corpse floating beside her, the beautiful woman's eyes at the top became red, and she locked on to Zhang Chen, and the fish's tail swung and approached Zhang Chen at a very fast speed.

"So fast?"

Zhang Chen didn't have time to sigh, so he had to grab Xiao Lan and speed up to swim towards the shore, but the distance between them was still four or five hundred meters.

Seeing the huge mermaid behind him getting closer and closer to him, if he continues like this, I'm afraid that sooner or later he will become the belly of the mermaid.

"By the way, I can still speed up."

In a hurry, Zhang Chen actually conceived a way to increase his movement speed in his mind. Begin to concentrate your telekinesis behind you as a pusher and increase your speed.

As his telekinesis continued to push backwards, Zhang Chen's speed was almost the same as that of the giant mermaid, and the island was all in front of him, and if he kept it up, he would be able to reach it in less than a minute.

Suddenly, the mouth of the beautiful woman on top of the huge mermaid behind her moved, and she spit out a white bone needle, which shot directly into Zhang Chen's body.

Zhang Chen, who thought that he was in the form of water and that this physical attack would not work at all, regretted it when the white bone needle shot into his water body.

This bone needle seems to be alive, and it stays in its own body and does not move. And the huge mermaid behind him stopped chasing, and gave up the chase with a turn of body.

"What is this? It doesn't seem to work for me."

At first, when this bone needle submerged into Zhang Chen's body, he was naturally very nervous, hoping to separate it from his body. But no matter what method he uses, even if he strips out the part of the water body where the bone needle is located, and discards it. An identical bone needle will also reappear in Zhang Chen's body.

However, after observing for a while, I found that this bone needle was simply staying in my body, and there was no danger, and I didn't feel any strange breath.

"I'll go ashore when this thing comes ashore, and I'll study it myself."

After a while, the two of them finally reached a large island on the other side of the lake, and a towering rocky mountain stood in the middle of the island. Standing there in the villa, you can also see the existence of this rocky mountain under the white mist.

After going ashore, Zhang Chen turned into a human form and held Xiao Lan in his arms, although Xiao Lan's body was paralyzed, his eyes were still staring at him, and he could see helplessness and sadness in his eyes.

"Xiao Lan, I just cut off your connection with your body just now to take you away, and after a while, I'll help you pick it up after I'm sure you're okay."

Zhang Chen would not let her regain her freedom until he was sure whether Xiao Lan was still under the control of the giant mermaid, otherwise, if she accidentally escaped into the water, her efforts would be wasted.

"Will you save me?" Xiao Lan, who was hugged by Zhang Chen, finally said a word.

"Don't worry, I'll figure it out, before that, I'll take you out of this desert island and back to the villa."

"No...... I don't want people to see me like this, can you help me get back to normal first." Speaking of this, Xiao Lan's eyes showed a look of pain.

"Well, let's see what's going on on this island first."

Zhang Chen just escaped from the crisis, and he didn't pay too much attention to Xiao Lan in his arms.

At this time, Xiao Lan, although there are a lot of scales on her body to block important parts, she has no clothes to wear, her wet short hair, and her face that already has a love for gorillas, if her feet become fish tails, she is really a little mermaid.

Zhang Chen Jing came down and stared at Xiao Lan in his arms for half a salary, and his face gradually turned red. And Xiao Lan in his arms was also a little embarrassed.

"That...... You should be out of that mermaid's grip now, right?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I didn't know that thing could dominate my consciousness, and that was the way it was in the bedroom in the beginning."

"I'll try to let go of your nerves first, and if something is wrong, I'll cut it again."

"Hmm."

After Xiao Lan finished speaking, Zhang Chen's right hand moved, and the liquid adsorbed on Xiao Lan's cervical vertebrae returned to Zhang Chen's hand.

"How's that, can you walk?" Zhang Chen asked.

"My whole body is a little weak, maybe it's because I've been in the water for a long time, and I'm a little uncomfortable when I come to land."

"Then I'll let you go down and try it."

With that, Zhang Chen grabbed Xiao Lan's waist and slowly put her on the ground.

"Ahh Xiao Lan tried to take two steps, but her legs began to spasm and she fell to the ground. Zhang Chen hurriedly went up and helped her up.

"Why don't I carry you on my back to find something to eat, and then see where we can rest, how about we try to walk slowly?" Zhang Chen said carefully.

"Okay."

Zhang Chen slowly carried Xiao Lan onto his back, neither of them had a shirt to wear, and there was only a scale between their skins, which inevitably made Zhang Chen, an underage boy, unbearable.

"When is it, I'm still thinking about it, and she won't be disabled if she knows about Wang Yizhi. Let's find out if there is anything to eat on this island and a place to live first, and I can only consider returning to the villa after Xiao Lan can run normally and I am fully recovered."

After thinking about it, he headed towards the depths of the island, after all, the mental power was almost consumed, if he could find some fruits that could be eaten, it would be good to replenish his body.

After walking not far, Zhang Chen actually saw a wild boar.

"What's going on? Kill it and see if there's anything out of the ordinary."

Zhang Chen didn't need to use his hands, he directly picked up a few tips around him with his mental power. [,! The sharp stones flew towards the boar together, shooting directly through the boar's body, and the dead could not die again.

Xiao Lan, who was behind Zhang Chen, couldn't help but open her mouth wide in surprise when she saw this scene.

"I'll check if there's anything wrong with this wild boar later, and if it's okay, we can eat the roast pig." Zhang Chen said to Xiao Lan on his back.

Zhang Chen's strength is far from being comparable to ordinary people, carrying Xiao Lan on his back and dragging a wild boar in his right hand, it is not difficult at all.

Walking on this small island, Zhang Chen naturally radiated the residual telekinesis to a two-meter range around him. Along the way, there were small insects in the grass from time to time, and even snakes passed under Zhang Chen's feet, which Zhang Chen felt a little incredible.

"The island is supposed to be surrounded by this lake, and the water of this lake is undoubtedly undrinkable, but how did these creatures survive?"

With this question, Zhang Chen walked all the way for nearly half an hour, and finally saw what he wanted to see.

"Xiao Lan, look at it, the one in front should be a house."

Xiao Lan on his back looked in the direction pointed by Zhang Chen, and a black hut was vaguely located in front of him.

"Well, I saw that too."

"Then let's go over first, there are more insects and snakes in the grass here, if there is a broken house, this guy can be roasted and eaten."

When the two approached the house, they gradually found that the small house that looked from a distance turned out to be a dilapidated temple.

"Temple? There doesn't seem to be anyone inside, and there's no danger in there."

Zhang Chen stood at the door of the temple with Xiao Lan on his back, the big wooden door had become broken due to the long-term rain washing, and after gently pushing the door open, there was a big Buddha statue sitting in the main hall. However, the Buddha statue was covered with dust, and it looked like no one had been here in the main hall for a long time.

"Ahh Xiao Lan behind him shouted.

Because in front of the Buddha statue sat a white bone, and the white bone sat there peacefully with his legs crossed inward.

"This is, sitting?" Zhang Chen also saw on TV that those high-ranking monks who have attained the Tao will sit down and ascend to the immortal realm after death, and their physical bodies will turn into relics.

However, this temple seems to be inhabited only by the predecessor of this white bone, and there is no relics mentioned on TV on the futon where he sits.

"Don't be afraid, we're just borrowing this place to take a break, as long as we are respectful, presumably the master won't have any opinions." After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he bowed to the white bones, and then put Xiao Lan on a futon first, and then went to see what was in the temple.

"You wait for me here, I'll take a look around and I'll be right back."

In fact, Xiao Lan really wanted to go with Zhang Chen, but thinking that he was carried by Zhang Chen along the way, he was embarrassed to let Zhang Chen carry him again. So he nodded.

"Do you want to hurry?" Xiao Lan looked at the white bones sitting beside her, and she was still a little scared.

Zhang Chen made an OK gesture and left.

There is an exit at the back of the main hall of this temple, and outside is a relatively wide backyard with a small wooden house of only 10 square meters.

Zhang Chen walked out and saw a well in the backyard, so he hurriedly went up. As soon as he held his right hand, the clear water in the well slowly rose with his gestures, wrapped around his right arm, and slowly merged with his body.

"Sure enough, this water is normal, no wonder the life on this island can be saved.

Zhang Chen's mood suddenly improved a lot, at least the problem of food and drinking water was solved at once. Then, Zhang Chen set his sights on the small cabin in the courtyard.

"Let's see what is useful in the cabin, and if you can find a piece of clothing to wear."

"Crunch~~" Zhang Chen gently pushed open the dilapidated wooden door with his hand, and a lot of dust fell.

"How many years has no one been here" Zhang Chen pushed open the door and saw a total of three things in the room, a simple wooden bed, a wooden desk and a monk's robe hanging on the wall.

"This monk's robe seems to be quite clean, and it can be put on for Xiao Lan in a while." Zhang Chen took off the monk's robe, and then continued to search the room for anything useful.

The dust on the wooden table was at least 1 cm high, and after Zhang Chen covered his nose and opened the only drawer on the right side of the wooden table, he found a yellowed book with four big characters written on it.

I was about to open it to see it, when suddenly, a scream came from the main hall.

"It's not good, something happened to Xiao Lan." Zhang Chen clipped the notebook to his waist and immediately ran to the main hall.

A creepy scene happened, at this time, Xiao Lan was sitting opposite the white bone, and the white bone's arms were holding Xiao Lan's hands, as if he was performing some ritual.

Zhang Chen was about to make a move to wipe out the white bones, but suddenly found that the scales on Xiao Lan's body, who was holding both hands, kept falling off, and a little black blood would flow out at the moment of falling off, and then the wound would heal automatically.

"Xiao Lan hold back, the master is helping you remove the scales" Zhang Chen reminded Xiao Lan softly. However, Xiao Lan also nodded painfully.

The whole process lasted for half an hour, during which Xiao Lan's expression was very painful, and sweat also fell to the ground from his face. Eventually, the last scale fell to the ground and the wound healed.

At this time, the small bone needle in Zhang Chen's body also automatically flew out, and landed on the white bone hand, and gradually turned into powder as the white bones began to disappear into heaven and earth.

Zhang Chen also saluted the white bones very solemnly. This white bone behavior reminded me of being at Xie Wen's house. [,! In the basement, the Facelings are fighting to dissipate their souls to buy time for themselves.

"Little benefactor, you have also found the old man's codex, which contains a lot of useful information for you. The girl's fish poison has been removed, and the bone mark in your body has been taken. If you have the ability, get rid of the big devil, if not, you should leave as soon as possible, the old man doesn't want to see the life ruined after death."

Zhang Chen didn't feel any souls around him, so he only nodded silently......
