Chapter 6 Outlying Islands
On the vast sea, a three-meter-long boat slowly moved forward, and in a small bamboo shed in the middle, a beautiful woman was looking at a thick book in her hand. On its shoulder, a small white bird shrunk into a ball with its eyes closed, and was falling asleep.
The door curtain opened slightly, and a red-bearded man walked in from outside, and said to the woman at the table, "Girl, let's rest for a while, are you interested in fishing together?" ”
"Fishing?" Feng Yu was slightly stunned, fishing in the sea?
The red-bearded man smiled. "It's not all fishing, my friends and I usually spend our days fishing in the sea, chatting and drinking some tea. I see that the girl is always stuffy in the cabin and doesn't go out, for fear that you will be in a hurry. ”
"How much do you know about that outlying island?"
"Outlying islands? Well, I just sent people there, and I didn't know much about it. But my friends go there a lot and talk more than I can do. ”
"Then please take me to meet your friend, I want to ask for some news related to the outlying islands."
"He's outside, just ask, don't worry, he's very cheerful and likes to make friends." The red-bearded man pointed outside.
At the bow of the boat sat a tall, thin middle-aged man, his eyes fixed on the water, as if he was still eating something. Seeing the red-bearded man coming, he couldn't help but smile, revealing a mouthful of white and shiny teeth.
"Haiwa, this little girl wants to ask questions related to the outlying islands, I don't know as much as you, so let's say it."
The person called Haiwa was stunned at the first sight of Fengyu, he didn't expect such a beautiful girl to appear on his boat, he had never met such a beautiful girl before.
Fengyu smiled at him. "Can you tell me?"
"Of course, what is this?" Haiwa came back to her senses and nodded hurriedly.
"That island is mysterious, it can be said to be a forbidden place for the weak. It has long been rumored that there is something that has caused strange changes in the beasts and plants on the island, not only with strange appearances, but also with witchcraft, and ordinary people generally dare not approach alone. However, there is a very precious ore on the island. Many wealthy businessmen hire martial arts masters to go en masse at this fixed time of year. At this time, the beasts were relatively quiet, and rarely appeared on the outskirts of the island, so they took advantage of this time to hurry up and mine that ore. Girl, are you going to the outlying islands to find your family? Or do you want to find this ore too? ”
"I'm looking for something."
"Looking for something? I advised the girl that it was better to find someone to go with her at the dock, because it was dangerous to go alone. It's safe now, but it's hard to say that a monster might suddenly appear. Haiwa advised.
"I know this, what I want to ask is about the black beads that appeared on the island two days ago, do you know any inside story?" Feng Yu heard the news from Haiwa, which was similar to what he had discovered, this island was very mysterious, maybe it was connected to his dark heart.
"It's the bead, I've heard someone mention it." Haiwa suddenly lowered her voice, her face full of mystery, "I heard that the bead can confuse people's minds, there is a devil living in it, if you accidentally encounter it, you must close your eyes, not look directly, otherwise the devil will rush out and kill you." ”
The rumors are really terrible, how can there be any devil in this world? Feng Yu smiled secretly in his heart, but he pretended to have a scared expression on his face. "So, where does that bead usually appear?"
"I've heard that someone has seen it in the center of the island, but few people dare to go there, can't the girl be looking for that bead?"
"Of course not, I'm actually looking for someone." Feng Yu rolled his eyes and replied.
"Looking for someone? Are you in such a hurry to find your husband? When Haiwa heard that she was looking for someone, she immediately understood and asked jokingly.
Feng Yu's face immediately turned red when she heard this, and the two of them couldn't help but laugh when they saw her like this.
"Yo, the little girl is shy, hahaha-" Haiwa saw Feng Yu's body turn and run into the cabin, and suddenly smiled even more.
"Fengyu, why are you blushing all of a sudden? This isn't like your usual you. Shiratori waited for her to enter the cabin before asking.
There was no response for a long time, it couldn't help but be very strange, and when it looked down, it found that Fengyu's appearance was a little wrong. Her body was trembling slightly, her eyebrows were furrowed together, and a trace of gray-black spiritual power faintly appeared on her body. He was lying on the table, his face flushed and green, and he looked very painful.
"Fengyu, Fengyu, what's wrong with you?" Shiratori was shocked.
"I don't know why, my head suddenly hurts, and my body is so hot, I almost couldn't control it and rushed into the water just now." Feng Yu held his head, his brain was drowsy, as if something had come into his brain from a distance, and it vaguely seemed like someone was calling him.
Headache and brain fever? As if he suddenly remembered something, Shiratori suddenly asked, "Fengyu, what about the dark heart you cultivated?" Is there something inductive? ”
Feng Yu was stunned for a moment, only then did he find that the flow speed of spiritual power in his body had accelerated a little, and he seemed to be a little excited beyond his control.
"Could it be because there's a Heart of Darkness nearby?"
"I think it's very likely." The white bird flew out and flew back into the cabin after a while. "You can sense if that call is coming from the southeast."
Feng Yu closed his eyes, secretly aware of the flow of spiritual power in his body, and after a while, he opened his eyes, and his eyes could not hide his surprise: "How do you know?" ”
"It's simple, because it's the outlying islands in that direction."
"So, that legendary black orb is really the Heart of Darkness?" Feng Yu understood, and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised.
"Nine out of nine is it!" Shiratori is sure.
"Great, I'm finally about to find my first Heart of Darkness!" As soon as Feng Yu became excited, he suddenly forgot about his headache and almost danced in the cabin.
"Calm down! You haven't found it yet, so why are you so happy? Shiratori looked at her angrily and scolded.
"You're here, I'm sure you'll find it!" Feng Yu blinked at it like a child, her bright eyes full of anticipation.
Half a day later, the boat finally stopped, and Toyoyu stepped out of the cabin and put her feet on the sand.
"Girl, it's up to you next, you can run into the merchant team if you go that way, you have to be careful." The red-bearded man held a pole on the shore, and the boat slowly left the shore.
"Thank you!" Feng Yu shook his arm and greeted him from afar.
"It's time to go, don't stand there stupid, they can't see it for a long time." The bird on her shoulder pecked her earlobe gently.
"Xiaobai really doesn't know how to be polite." Feng Yu muttered, jumped off the reef on the shore, and stepped on the soft sand in the direction pointed by the red-bearded man.
The outskirts of the island are vast sandy beaches, and from the beach inside, a verdant forest covers 70% of the island. The forest stretches as far as the eye can see, and most of the tree species are unseen before in Fengyu. This may be due to the change in geography to the south, where not only are there more tree species, but also warmer temperatures.
The sea breeze was gusting, comfortably making her want to lie on the beach and laze in.
After walking for about half an hour, she saw a long line of horses and a crowd in the distance, so she stepped forward and talked to the leader of the group. The merchant who led the team was very simple, arranged her in a carriage, and took her with him to the merchant's temporary station.
"I really don't understand, why do you want to go with the businessman, we are not ordinary people, can't I just fly in with you?" Inside the carriage, Shiratori struggled with the problem.
"Do you know what's on the island? Let's ask the merchants, they know more. I don't know anything if I fly over directly, what should I do if I encounter danger? ”
"Danger? What other dangers can such an island have? Besides, what am I afraid of? Shiratori said disdainfully.
"Yes, yes, I know Xiaobai is very powerful, but I don't want you to get hurt. So, go ask and head to the center of the island. Anyway, we have a lot of time, so it's better to take a tour. Feng Yu said good things, and finally drove away Shiratori's dissatisfaction and irritability.
After a few hours of driving, the convoy stopped to rest and prepare to repair before heading to the station.
"Girl, we'll be at our station in a little while, do you want to come out and breathe?"
Outside the carriage, the leading merchant said to the door.
"No, I'm a little tired, just take a rest in the carriage."
"That's fine, if there's anything to call us."
"Okay, thank you."
It is a paradise with lush forests and birds. As soon as a person and a bird came here, they immediately felt the difference here, that is, the aura here was quite dense, even stronger than anywhere Feng Yu had ever been. For those of them who cultivate the truth, the density of the aura is very helpful for their cultivation, just like the air that mortals depend on for survival.
Not only that, but the beasts here are no different from the mortal things, nourished by the aura over the years. As a result, these ordinary little beasts have also been reborn like amazing mutations, and the chaotic spiritual consciousness has also been greatly changed, and they have initial spiritual intelligence. I believe that in time, those little beasts that have been created will definitely be able to achieve positive results and soar to the other world. It's a great opportunity.
"Yikes! Look there, that kitten, how cute! Feng Yu looked around curiously.
"Don't make such a fuss, in front of those strange beasts, there is a bit of the momentum of a cultivator, otherwise they will see me with you, and they will think that I have never seen the world!" Shiratori dissatisfiedly hit Fengyu, who was in the midst of excitement.
"I'm just wondering, why are the little beasts here so different, they all seem to be extraordinarily elven and cute. And they're not afraid of humans at all. Look at that little bird! Glowing with a glow! ”
Feng Yu didn't care at all about the contemptuous gaze that Shiratori cast at her, she was still looking around with great excitement, at this time, she was no longer a high-status cultivator, but a little girl who was only in her teens. The watery eyes were wide open, looking at this world that she never dared to imagine even in her dreams, all her life was that palace, and she thought that maybe this life would only be a silent fire girl. Despised and bullied. Now, she is on the path of cultivation that countless people can't reach.
The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure what they cannot. This sentence that she had secretly listened to Mr. Teaching to Miss Young Master outside, but Feng Yu was moved for a long time at that time. When she was bullied by other maids, when she was punished for not being allowed to eat because she was late for work, every time there was a thunderstorm, because she was too small, she felt very scared, and curled up in the corner and sobbed softly. She would think of this sentence, and she told herself that all the misfortunes she had now were a test of herself, and that one day, this tribulation would end, and she would find her happiness.
People who have lived in humility since childhood will be very sensitive, Fengyu is such a person, whenever she is in happiness, it will make her feel unreal, will everything she has now, like a little bird, chirp happily in your hands at the moment, and the next moment it will fly away far away. Empty to leave a lost self.
Thinking too far, Feng Yu hurriedly pulled himself back from his unrealistic worries, and began to look around for new things to delight himself.
"Hey, look at that little bug, how special." Feng Yu's eyes showed a golden light, and he said.
"You just can't stand me, don't you see those stupid things looking at you and laughing? It's as if they've never seen anything. What a shame! They will also be afraid of people, and if they don't hurt them, they will not be kind to them. The kitten was a moire leopard cub, and it was the fastest among the birds. The little bird was a Green Abyss Wyvern, and although it wasn't very large when it reached adulthood, its attack power was no less than that of any dragon. And the little bug you called, you also recognize, is what the Teng Snake looked like before it evolved. ”
Xiao Bai glanced at Feng Yu, who was full of shock, and continued: "These little beasts are still weak now, and they only have the appearance of second or third grades. But for ordinary mortals, if they can kill one and a half, it is by no means an easy task. Presumably, they were attracted by the dense aura here. Although they are only a preliminary wisdom. But with spiritual beasts, most of them have survived for a long time and are very intelligent. What you just said! They don't speak, but they already understand. In the future, once you achieve the right result, if you don't pass on your gaffe today, how can you be an immortal cultivator who doesn't have the slightest immortal wind bones? It's a shame to be dead," Shiratori gave Fengyu a big roll of his eyes.
Fengyu didn't pay any attention to Shiratori's mean and contemptuous words, and still sat in the car and looked outside, exclaiming. At first, Shiratori would tell her about the spirit beast that Feng Yu didn't recognize, but then when she saw that she was really terminally ill and hopeless, he was so angry that he didn't say anything, and let Feng Yu talk to himself stupidly.
