Chapter XXVI: Separation

Early in the morning, I don't know who it was, the first to open my eyes, first confused, then felt the different air around me, and suddenly yelled in surprise "We're out, we're out." “

Everyone was resting tiredly, and was awakened in an instant, and the whole scene was extremely lively and joyful for a while.

And Shi Lei had already found out, but he didn't bother when he watched the tiredness after everyone escaped from death one by one.

The spirit array no longer needed Wang Ping and them to do it later, and whenever the spirit yuan stone was exhausted and the spirit array stopped running, he himself unhurriedly replaced it. Then reboot.

After all, the most dangerous moment has passed, there is no need to be in such a hurry, the spirit array only needs to maintain the most basic consumption.

So I sent them aside to rest.

Shi Lei is the only one who hasn't slept all night, but compared to others who have no spiritual power at all, his strength has always been the most abundant, so he doesn't feel tired.

More than half of the Spirit Yuan Stones in the box have been consumed, but it is still worth it to return to this familiar South China Sea from the deepest part of the storm in just one night.

He closed the spirit circle and slowly walked up to the deck with the others.

In front of me is still a blue sea and blue sky, and the sky is cloudless. Slight waves surround the cabin, constantly beating gently, making a sound that is full of restraint and relaxation.

Flocks of seabirds soar freely as far as the eye can see. Only those who have experienced such a desperate storm can deeply feel how beautiful and inviting the tranquil South China Sea is.

Wang Ping took a deep breath of the air that was completely different from yesterday, his face was a little flushed, and he slowly walked to Shi Lei's side.

"Boss Shi, thank you. This voice is from the bottom of my heart, I witnessed the miracle that happened to Shi Lei yesterday, and I know how difficult it is to know all this.

The monkey and the madman also followed, bent over and said with the same sincerity, "Boss Shi, thank you." “

The other pirates on deck noticed this scene, and immediately shouted in unison, "Thank you, Boss Shi." “

Shi Lei looked at this group of pirates with sincere emotions movingly, and wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes in disguise.

"Brothers on board, you were forced by us to take the seas. It is my responsibility to bring you back safely. I can't afford to thank you. He waved his hand as he spoke.

Shi Lei's sincere words also infected this group of men who are usually fierce in order to cultivate and survive.

The madman is the most righteous and emotional, and at this time, his voice was a little choked and said, "Boss Shi, robbed you at the beginning." You didn't kill these brothers on the ship, I'm crazy enough to be grateful. And then we just followed there, and whether we were dead or alive in the event of a storm had nothing to do with Lord Shi Lao's One Piece. So this thank you is our sincere words. I, Zhao Feng, swear here today that from now on, I am willing to be born and die for Boss Shi and Lord One Piece. “

Shi Lei didn't respond for a while, and the madman's words made him suddenly realize that he didn't see a star on the deck, and kept looking around, looking.

Wang Ping, the monkey, the madman, and many others also realized something, and turned their heads to look.

At this time, a thin young pirate in the crowd stood up and said timidly, "Boss Shi, when I came up just now, I seemed to see that Lord One Piece was still resting down and didn't come up. “

Shi Lei looked at the cabin suspiciously, and the star appeared by his side for the first time in his impression. Could it be that I'm really too tired these days?

"Everyone is here to recover their spiritual vitality, I'll go down and take a look. “

After speaking, he walked straight towards the bottom of the cabin, and the old turtle carried Chen Yutong and followed behind.

When he came to the bottom of the cabin, Shi Lei saw Xing who was still lying motionless on the chair at a glance, and began to panic inexplicably, and hurriedly walked over.

On Xing Junqiao's little face, his eyes were still tightly closed, but his face was pale, and at this moment he was sleeping quietly like a child who should have been so old.

The first time Shi Lei saw him like this, the panic in his heart became even stronger, and he patted his arm gently

"Star senior, star senior, wake up. “

Xing didn't react, just frowned slightly, as if dreaming of something terrible.

The old turtle and Chen Yutong walked over from behind and said softly, "Shi Lei, he may be overconsumed and too tired, don't disturb him yet, let him have a good rest." Let's go to the deck, he'll come to you when he wakes up. “

Shi Lei nodded, turned around and tiptoed away.

The old turtle looked at the star, as if he had guessed something, sighed helplessly, shook his head, and carried Yutong up.

Everyone on the deck worked hard to absorb the little spiritual energy and regain their strength.

And Shi Lei and Wang Ping reminded them not to go down for the time being, and then sat on the edge of the deck leaning against the railing, but they were not interested in cultivating, thinking about something with a heavy heart, and occasionally looked back at the exit of the cabin, looking forward to the small figure, coming out vividly.

Finally, when it was almost dark, a clatter of footsteps sounded from the cabin.

Shi Lei stood up suddenly, and the pirates also looked at the entrance expectantly. Then the familiar little figure walked out slowly.

"One Piece-sama. The crowd shouted in unison.

Shi Lei immediately appeared in front of him and asked with concern, "Senior Xing, are you okay?" “

Xing's face was still so pale, but at this moment, he reluctantly showed a self-righteous smile, and said disdainfully, "What are you doing so nervously, what can I do." “

Then he crossed Shi Lei and pointed at the others, reprimanding, "What should you do, after you finish cultivating, you should prepare to eat, go and prepare food, if you are really fine, quickly clean up, don't you look at what has become of the ship now." “

Those pirates who had mostly completed their cultivation and were relatively weak scattered with a bang.

Ran continued to speak to Shi Lei behind him and said, "Give the spirit array to Wang Ping, let's go to the pirate base he said first, and talk about it when we get there." “

Shi Lei nodded, and walked back to the secret room with Wang Ping. The control and use of the spirit array was explained in detail, as well as many precautions for replacing the spirit yuan stone.

When Shi Lei returned to the deck, the ship slowly continued to move, and the star not far in front of him lay on the chair again and fell asleep peacefully.

Shi Lei didn't bother, found a remote corner, and quietly began to cultivate.

The pirate ship didn't travel at the fastest speed, so the consumption of spirit yuan stones was too terrifying. It's just that at the most economical and cost-effective speed, under the control of Wang Ping, he slowly drove towards the east of the Black Demon Domain, which is almost the easternmost part of the entire South China Sea.

Finally, after seven days, the pirate ship slowly sailed to a very remote island, and suddenly looked at the uninhabited island.

The island is small, full of tall trees and endless bushes under the trees, and from the boat, you can faintly see some rolling hills in the middle of the island. The trees on the hill are even taller, shading the sky and the sun, like a primeval forest.

During these seven days, the star spends most of his time asleep, and when he wakes up, he just looks at the sky and thinks quietly.

And Shi Lei didn't go up to bother, most of the time was spent on cultivation, and in the first two days, the spiritual power of the Xuan Vein was a little thicker. Although it is still in the late stage of the first level of the Spirit of All Things, it is already the eighth layer from the level of the Primordial Mystery Realm, and there is no obstacle to breaking through, it is so quiet.

He couldn't help but think of the madness of the spiritual array seven or eight days ago, and in the comprehension, he frantically operated the Xuan veins and consumed spiritual power crazily. The whole person is completely in a special state.

Therefore, in a short period of time, the strength has improved again.

After docking the pirate ship, Wang Ping instructed most of the pirates to repair the ship, replenish food and water, and Lingyuan Stone, and together with the monkey and the madman, he took Shi Lei, Xing, the old turtle and Chen Yutong to shuttle through the primeval forest and walk towards the center of the island.

Feeling the surrounding breath and fresh air, Shi Lei couldn't help but admire, "Wang Ping, how did you find this place, although it is very remote and the territory is relatively small, but the environment is really good, especially the further you go, the more you go, the stronger the spiritual vitality is." “

Such a beautiful and comfortable environment, he has rarely been to on earth.

Wang Ping smiled, with some smugness on his face,

"I used to be a little pirate when I was a little pirate, and once I was fighting at sea, and I was seriously injured and fell into the water. I thought I was going to die, but I accidentally floated here. I also found out that there was a treasure lot here, where I not only recovered from my injuries, but also improved my strength later. “

As he spoke, he touched the long scar on his face, "This wound on my face was left at that time, and then I slowly became stronger and had my own ship, so I used this place as a base." In the middle of the island, no one can enter except me, the madman, and the monkey. “

Xing didn't speak much along the way, but at this time he suddenly spoke,

"There is a small Lingyuan stone vein under the center of the island. “

Wang Ping and the three of them turned around and spoke in surprise. "One Piece-sama, you're so good, you guessed it here. We studied it for a long time, and finally dug a deep hole to find out. “

After a while, the terrain began to rise and fall slowly, and the trees on the hills were impermeable to the wind, with very little sunlight shining down. I can constantly see all kinds of small animals running around, and occasionally hear the inexplicable beasts roaring in the distance.

It's such a wonderful little world, and everyone is amazed in their hearts.

Slowly crossing the hills, the terrain began to descend, and after a while, a flat grassland appeared in front of me. There are still various trees scattered on the grassland.

There is also a small lake on the edge of the grassland, which is crystal clear and reflects the white clouds in the sky.

It turns out that all the hills in the center of the island revolve around this grassland, and the unobstructed sunlight is constantly spilling down. Seeing such a scene, everyone's mood became relaxed.

Everyone came to a row of small cabins by the small lake, and the cabins were full of accumulated dust, and it seemed that they had not been inhabited for a long time.

"It will take a few days for the ship to be replenished and repaired, so let's rest here for a few days, food is everywhere in the woods. “

Wang Ping said as he hurriedly cleaned up in the house with monkeys and madmen.

Shi Lei was not idle to help, and Yu Tong was also very obedient and wiped the dust.

After a while, all the cabins were clean, and everyone chose one.

After choosing his own room, Shi Lei hesitated for a moment and came to Xing's room.

"Senior Star, don't you have something to say to me?"

Looking at the star lying there weakly in front of him, his tone was a little gloomy

Star, who was lying in a chair, opened his eyes and threw out two bottles and a scroll, without beating around the bush, with a straightforward opening.

"Shi Lei, this is the fire element and the refined sea chalcedony stone, and on the scroll is the use of the earth spirit root and snow lotus grass. You've got to pack it up,"

The words paused and slowly spoke in a low tone, "And I'm leaving." “

Take the two special bottles and scrolls that have been obtained with great difficulty. Shi Lei had already been mentally prepared, and there were not too many ups and downs in his emotions, but his tone became more and more low and gloomy, "When?"

"I don't know, maybe the next second or the next day, don't worry about me, the ship is repaired, you can go, when all the power disappears, I will disappear here." “

"Shall we meet again?"

Shi Lei finally couldn't hold back, looking at the little figure who had been together for so many days, living and dying together, tears slowly slipped from the corners of his eyes.

Xing couldn't bear to see the scene at this time, closed his eyes, and shook his head, "I don't know, it's impossible for me to come back to this world, if you want to see me, you have to rely on yourself"

Shi Lei had heard similar words before, and the two of them were silent for a while, but his heart was indeed churning.

Although the star never acted as his master. I solemnly emphasized to him that his master had someone else, and he was just here to help.

But after what has happened in the past few months, so many ups and downs, Shi Lei has long regarded him as his master in his heart.

Looking at the star in front of him, who is getting weaker and weaker and may disappear at any time, he can't say anything in his heart.

After a moment of silence, he lowered his head and said firmly, "Senior Star, you will see me again",

The words fell, the heart flowed tears, the oath was determined, and he turned away.

When the figure was about to disappear at the door, a leisurely voice came, "Shi Lei, no matter what happens in the future, even if you can't see me, even if you can't complete everything you want to do in your heart, you must live well in this world." As long as you live, there is hope. Also, don't bother me anymore, it's good to be separated quietly. “

The figure at the door trembled for a moment, and finally burst into tears that he couldn't stop.
