Picturesque islands, fairyland-like valleys, but no laughter.

The lake in the valley is the place where the spiritual vitality is the strongest, and except for resting, everyone will cultivate by the lake the rest of the time.

But there is one exception, Shi Lei has not seen him since he came out of Xing's house on the first day.

And Xing never came out of the house again, as if it was a tacit understanding, everyone didn't ask, they didn't talk, and they didn't go into the room, as if they were afraid of disturbing the people in the house.

It wasn't until the third day that a shout came from the woods on the hill, "One Piece-sama, the ship is ready, when are we leaving?" “

Everyone by the lake opened their eyes in an instant.

Shi Lei got up slowly, looked at a few people next to him, and said in a gloomy tone, "Let's go." “

Although the atmosphere has not been right for the past few days, everyone is silent. But at this time, the madman still didn't hold back after all

"What about One Piece-sama?"

Wang Ping and the monkey also looked at each other with burning eyes, waiting for an answer.

Shi Lei endured the churning emotions, and a deep voice sounded, "There are some special reasons, One Piece-sama won't go with us." “

As soon as the words fell, he hesitated for a moment, and then added: "We may not see each other again in the future." “

Everyone didn't expect this to be the result, they always thought that something was wrong with that little figure in the past few days, and they were trying to recover.

Wang Pingshi couldn't help but step forward and grab Shi Lei's shoulder, a little emotional.

"What's wrong with One Piece-sama, is there something wrong?"

Shi Lei didn't break free, and shook his head, "Don't think about it, you also know how powerful he is, and there will definitely be no accidents." There are just some special reasons that I can't explain to you, but in any case he is gone, and has gone far, far away, and will not be coming back. I don't know where I went. “

After saying that, he turned around and walked to the door of the room, slowly knelt on the ground, and kowtowed solemnly, one, two, three.

This is his kneel to a third person in addition to his parents, this love and this grace are worth his doing.

Then he stood up, turned and walked out.

Shi Lei knew in his heart that Xing might still be lying in it now, but he was so proud that he didn't want others to see his weak appearance, and he didn't want to have a scene of death and death.

Like he said, just going back to where he was supposed to be, and not really not being there, so a quiet separation is the best way.

The group shuttled through the woods in a depressed atmosphere, and after a while, they saw the pirate ship docked at the bay to rest.

There were no major injuries to the hull, just redecorated and repaired. The cabins on the deck had been completely damaged before, and now a three-story building had been rebuilt. It feels taller, prettier, and much bigger than before.

Food and fresh water had already been prepared on it, as well as all the Lingyuan Stone elixirs that Wang Ping and the others had hidden on the island before, and they had taken them away at one time.

They also understand that they don't know when they will be able to come back after leaving this time.

The boat started slowly, and Shi Lei stood at the stern of the boat, looking at the hills on the island in the distance, motionless, so lonely.

And the wooden house that he couldn't see anymore, Xing slowly walked out, raised his head, across the hills and trees, and clearly saw Shi Lei standing at the stern of the boat at this time, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, muttering to himself, "I don't want to see each other again, but I ask you to live well." Your path is too difficult, if you can't go on, don't go, live here. “

When the words fell, this small figure slowly became unbelievably transparent, and then under the bright sun, countless golden sands were shattered, floating into the sky, and slowly disappeared.

In this world where people come and go, there are always people coming and people leaving. Some people came with vigor, and some people left, silently.

I don't know when Wang Ping has been standing next to him, quietly waiting for Shi Lei. Finally saw him come back to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward

"Boss Shi, the brothers are asking where Lord One Piece has gone, how to explain it to them?"

Shi Lei walked up to look at Wang Ping, as if he had lost his soul, and said in a low voice, "You also call me boss because of the Lord of One Piece, he is no longer here, don't call me that." I'm much lower than you, and I'm much younger than you. “

Wang Ping shook his head, "If it was just the beginning, One Piece Lord was gone, maybe we might have killed you." But we have lived and died together for so many days, and I, Wang Ping, am not such a heartless person, otherwise how would so many brothers under him believe me. Besides, with your talent, I believe that it won't be long before you will far surpass us, and when the time comes, please ask you something. “

Shi Lei shook his head helplessly, "Whatever you want, but you are indeed much older than me, let's call you Brother Wang, as for the future, let's talk about it later." “

Although it is just an ordinary sentence and a title, anyone can hear the respect in it, and Wang Ping was silently moved in his heart.

"As for the other brothers asking, Brother Wang, you just told them that One Piece-sama has something special and has left, so there is no need to say anything else. “

Wang Ping nodded, turned around and left to go back to explain, when he suddenly thought of something and turned around and said,

"Boss Shi, I know you want to go to the Black Magic Island, but we are driving a pirate ship like this, and we definitely can't go there directly, so we must go to a transit island first, dock the ship there, and then take its ship over together. “

Shi Lei nodded in agreement, "I understand, you don't need to ask me about these, you can arrange everything, as long as you can get to the Black Magic Island smoothly." “

Seeing Wang Ping leaving, he turned around and walked towards the old turtle and Chen Yutong not far away.

The old turtle has not spoken much since the valley, and there is no one around at the moment, looking at Shi Lei's tone full of concern.

"Are you alright? “

Shi Lei shook his head and smiled at Chen Yutong,

"Senior Turtle, you don't have to worry about me, I knew a long time ago that Senior Xing would leave, he is so powerful, after all, he is not the same as us. The words fell and took Yutong's small hand

"Yutong, your star brother has gone to a far away place, and he won't be able to play with you in the future. “

Chen Yutong forcibly endured the tears that had been rolling in his eyes from the beginning to the present, "I know that Brother Xing has something very important to do. “

Just met the pirate ship, Yutong saw the star fly to the pirate ship, and then subdued all the bad guys by himself and became the boss, knowing that Brother Xing, who was just a little boy in his eyes, was a very powerful master.

Then he always regarded Brother Xing as his goal in his heart, and even looked at him cautiously with a look of admiration when he met and spoke, which made Xing very helpless at that time.

Touching Yu Tong's little head dotingly, Shi Lei's face became a little relaxed, "Yu Tong, you go to Uncle Monkey to play with them first, I'll talk to your Grandpa Turtle about something." “

The old turtle looked at the happy little figure that was gradually moving away, and sighed deeply, "Shi Lei, what should Yu Tong do? We can't keep hiding from him, sooner or later one day we won't be able to hide it." “

With so many things crammed together, Shi Lei also rubbed his head with a little headache.

"Yutong has become much stronger than before, I'll find a time to tell him, otherwise I won't be able to take him back to the mainland at that time. And Turtle Senior, will you come with us on Black Devil Island? “

The old turtle shook his head, "If I dare to appear on the Black Magic Island, it is estimated that I will be caught and skinned as soon as possible, there are too many outlaws on the island who have no rules, no principles, and do all kinds of evil." The sea is my world. And Yutong, don't let him go over yet, I know an uninhabited island near Black Magic Island, so I'll take him to hide there first. When you finish handling the matter, let Wang Ping and the others send someone to inform me. “

Shi Lei also nodded in agreement, he didn't know what would happen to or who he would meet on the Black Magic Island. It is indeed too inconvenient to bring Chen Yutong at such a young age.

Night is slowly falling, whenever this time, Shi Lei will always watch the night sky quietly alone, although the night sky here can't see anything, just dark, but it can always make him calm down slowly no matter what he goes through.

The pirate ship continued to sail, and because it was not in a hurry, the spirit circle was not opened. Slowly, he headed towards the heart of the Dark Domain.

The journey in the past few days has been smooth sailing, and everyone has spent the rest of their time cultivating separately except for resting and eating. The strength of the eighth layer of Shi Lei's early Xuan Realm also gradually stabilized, and the more he drove forward, the spiritual vitality slowly thickened, and his cultivation became more comfortable.

With a long exhale, Shi Lei, who had been sitting and cultivating all night, slowly opened his eyes, and two rays of light flashed in his eyes.

Glancing at the quiet deck around him, he picked up the scroll that Xinglin had given him before leaving, and slowly opened it.

It is a detailed drawing of the earth spirit root and the appearance of the snow lotus grass, and a detailed text introduction attached to the back.

"The root of the earth spirit absorbs the essence of the earth and takes root over the years. It has a not weak spirituality, and will foresee danger in advance, while escaping in advance in the earth, it is extremely difficult to detect and capture. “

Shi Lei raised his eyelids and looked down, "The only weakness of the Earth Spirit Root is that it will grow a very ordinary small flower every once in a while, this flower will burrow out of the ground to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy, at this time, unless the strength of the person can capture it, or it can only be captured by other methods." “

"This", he rubbed his forehead with a headache, "No wonder the previous star seniors said that they would help me get all the elixirs before leaving, this elixir that will run away at any time, if I come to find it now, it will be too difficult." “

Settle your mind and look down.

"Snow lotus grass is the essence of ice and snow, the holy spirit in lotus grass. It has the effect of calming the mind and instantly improving all understanding. It is one of the best auxiliary elixirs to break through the bottleneck, and it is mostly longer than the peak of ice and snow, where the spiritual vitality gathers. It takes thousands of years to grow one plant. “

Shi Lei was even more speechless, although it was just a simple description, and he didn't know much about the specifics, but he could already feel that none of them were very simple, especially for his current strength, no matter how you look at it, it is difficult to ascend to the sky.

"The next target is these two elixirs, but it's too difficult, let it be, even if you can't find it for a while, the cultivation of the spirit recipe of all things is very powerful. Shi Lei could only comfort himself helplessly.

At this moment, Wang Ping suddenly walked over quickly from a distance, and said, "Boss Shi, look over there." “

Shi Lei put away the scroll, stood up suspiciously, and looked carefully in the direction of Wang Ping's finger, but nothing unusual happened for a while, so he used his spiritual power, and his eyes instantly revealed far away.

"Alone?" Seeing a wooden plank floating in the sea in the distance, and a figure lying on the plank vaguely, Shi Lei turned his head to look at Wang Ping with some confusion.

Wang Ping nodded, "It's a person, and it's a man." “

Speaking of men, Wang Ping's eyes lit up a little.

Shi Lei looked at him like this, almost forgetting that he was still a person with special hobbies, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, thinking, "He won't look at me like this often." "It's good not to think about it, but it's even more uncomfortable to think about it.

hesitated to speak, "That Brother Wang, for men, how can you have such a hobby." “

Wang Ping was not embarrassed, and naturally replied, "Boss Shi, there are very few female monks who cultivate Lingyuan, and those who are willing to be pirates are even rarer, so they rarely meet women." And my brothers and I are all from poor families, and we are unwilling to rob those ordinary women, which is against the way of God. I don't know why it's become like this over time, but of course I definitely like women in my bones. At the end of the day, he added another sentence, emphasizing his normality.

Shi Lei suddenly remembered a sentence in his previous life at this time, he had been a soldier for three years, and the sow raced the sable cicada. And these pirates, who don't know how many years they've been single, are still fucking principled.

A good-looking man is always much better than a sow, thinking of this, Shi Lei looked at him with some pity and nodded understandingly.

"That Boss Shi, we can't save it. Maybe he's dead. “

Shi Lei said without hesitation, "Save, why don't you save, but okay, Brother Wang, you are not allowed to do anything." At the end of the sentence, he added, "Even if you do something, you have to pay attention to whether you are willing to do it, otherwise what is the meaning." “

Wang Ping nodded, he didn't know what he thought, he laughed, and the scar on his face looked unusually harmonious at this moment.
