Chapter 1: Searching for Bodies
In Mujiao Continent, the main continent is Mujiao Continent, and outside the continent are nine sea areas, the reason why there is such a division is because there is a powerful force behind each of these sea areas.
Tens of thousands of years of development have allowed the human race to rule almost all the land, and the unfamiliar sea is still being explored, and only the first foray into it has made those huge forces experience unexpected benefits, so the competition for the nine sea areas has never stopped.
However, in a place far away from the Mujiao Continent, there are very few big forces willing to set foot here, and it is the Chaotic Sea!
The Chaotic Sea, as the name suggests, is not only the major forces in chaos, but even the demon clan is constantly fighting here, wars are breaking out every moment, and one force may be wiped out by other forces overnight at any time.
The other eight seas are already owned by the owner, but this chaotic sea is still in the midst of war, and it is still unknown which side can rule here.
After so many conquests, it can be said that the Chaotic Sea is the most difficult place for the Terrans to rule, not only are there powerful krakens gathered here, but there are also three major demon kings ruling almost half of the islands in the Chaos Sea, making it difficult for the power of the Terrans to take root here.
The intrigue between the major forces, the war between the demon clan and the kraken, the constant friction between the three demon kings, and the mutual fight between the human race and the demon clan have made the already chaotic sea area even more chaotic.
Heroes emerge in troubled times, and it is precisely because of such a scale of chaos that this chaotic sea is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, you never know how many powerful cultivators are hidden here, and the slightest carelessness will lead to death.
Thousand Snake Island, as the place ruled by the Hydra King, one of the three demon kings, can be said to be a paradise for snakes and monsters. However, the demon race is not the only one here, the human race also lives on this island, but there are few powerful cultivators, because once they are discovered by those snake demons on the island of a thousand snakes, they will disappear without a trace.
As the territory ruled by the Hydra King, there should not have been traces of human activities on Thousand Snake Island, but fortunately, these are not powerful cultivators, and even cultivators above the seventh order will not appear. It's not so much that these people live on the island of a thousand snakes, but that they are slaves of the snake demons, and they are not free at all.
On Thousand Snake Island, there will be no city at all, and people will at most form a weak defense with a fence to resist the attack of some low-level demon beasts, and live in trembling.
Double-sleeved Town, an insignificant town on Thousand Snake Island, is home to a patchwork of houses that look like a pair of human sleeves. Due to its proximity to the sea, most of the villagers in Shuangsleeve Town make a living by catching fish, of course, they are only in the nearby sea area, and they dare not go deeper, and once they encounter a powerful kraken, it will be a great disaster for them.
"Sister, I'm so uncomfortable, vomit ......"
On the fishing boat, I saw a young man about ten years old holding the edge of the boat, vomiting incessantly, and even vomiting bitter bile water, his face was pale and a little scary.
There was a slim girl on the side of the young man, who kept patting the young man's back, his eyes hurt and at the same time he was a little gloating, "I said that I wouldn't let you come out, but I didn't listen, it's good now, I know how hard my sister and father fish." ”
"Sister, don't be afraid, when Bilin grows up, she can go out to sea to fish alone, and then my sister and father will not be so tired. Song Bilin's eyes suddenly became unusually firm, but he was handsome for only three seconds, and before the words fell, he leaned over and vomited.
The other people who put it on immediately burst out laughing, they were all from the village, and it was under the leadership of the town mayor Song Tiande that they came to fish. In fact, it is said to be fishing, but everyone's hearts are also on their minds Du Ming, in fact, they are here to search for the corpse of the owner of Thousand Snake Island.
The so-called corpse search is actually to pick up the corpses of those cultivators for the owner of Thousand Snake Island after the outbreak of battle, and contribute the treasures on their bodies to the owner of Thousand Snake Island, in exchange for the right to live, otherwise they will be besieged by the snakes and the people of the town will disappear.
The fishing boat that Song Tiande and the others took was given by the owner of Thousand Snake Island, no one rowed, but they were still able to ride the wind and waves, and they could sail safely even in the storm.
The power of this Thousand Snake Ship comes from spirit stones, and only they can give the hull a steady stream of power and strong defense, and the same spirit stones also need to be exchanged for treasures obtained from searching corpses. This Thousand Snake Ship is the common wealth of thousands of families in Shuangsleeve Town, and it is precisely because of it that the safety of Shuangsleeve Town on Thousand Snake Island is guaranteed.
It's just that this voyage has not yet completed the task, and Song Tiande can't help but be a little worried. After all, the year is about to pass, and if you don't make up the thirty corpses of cultivators, you will face the punishment of the master of Thousand Snake Island when the time comes, and there are still three corpses left in Twin Sleeves Town to be able to complete this year's task.
It's not that no one has tried to escape from the waters of Thousand Snake Island with the help of the Thousand Snake Boat, but those who escaped have not been heard from at all, and in the end, their village will also be implicated and killed by the owner of Thousand Snake Island.
Song Bilin, the son of the mayor of the town, Song Tiande, was innocent, he should have lived in the town carefree, but he was stubborn and insisted on coming to fish. It would be a big blow if he knew that his father was here to search for the body, but this is something that must be experienced to grow up, just like his sister, it was difficult to accept at the beginning.
In the endless sea, this thousand snake ship that can accommodate hundreds of people looks so small, just floating around on the vast sea.
"Sister, look there, there seems to be a person on that reef. Song Bilin, who was lying weakly on the edge of the boat, suddenly shouted excitedly.
This is already the third person found by Song Bilin, the first two were rescued by his father and placed in the cold room under the cabin. At that time, Song Bilin was blocked by everyone, and he didn't find out whether the two people were dead or alive at all, but his father said that they were powerful cultivators and had hope of survival, but only in the cold environment could they recover, and the naïve Song Bilin completely believed it.
The first time he went to sea, he was able to save the lives of two people, which was also an exciting thing for Xiao Bilin, but if he knew that the people his father saved were just for the purpose of searching for corpses, the contrast would be difficult for him to accept.
The people who were still eating hurriedly walked over, and following the direction of Song Bilin's finger, a thin corpse hung on the reef. This person had a short spear on his back, and he must have been a cultivator, and this news immediately made the whole ship cheer, which was definitely a gift from heaven to them.
"Little Bilin, that's good, it seems that you are really the deputy general of our Double-Sleeved Town. "The other uncles in the town couldn't help but touch Song Bilin's head, which was definitely a good sign.
Seeing the excited smiling faces of his uncles and his father and sister, Song Bilin didn't expect them to be so happy, it seems that saving people is really a pleasant thing.
The Thousand Snake Boat slowly sailed towards the reef, stopped at a distance of 100 meters, and swam towards the reef together under the leadership of Song Tiande, five sailors.
After arriving at the reef, Song Tiande also saw this person's face, a fairly delicate face but an unusually embarrassed face, and the dark golden spear behind his back proved his identity, and there was no doubt that he must be a cultivator. Leaning over to investigate, he found that the boy was no longer breathing, and after groping around around with him for a while, he found nothing but the dark gold spear.
In any case, the discovery of this last corpse finally allowed Song Tiande to give an account to the people of the town, so that he could survive the next year unharmed.
Recruiting and signaling the personnel on the ship, they suddenly burst into shocking cheers, quite a feeling of the rest of their lives.
"Let's go back. Song Tiande jumped into the sea, but before he swam far, he noticed that no one was following, and immediately looked back and found that the five people couldn't move the young man's body.
