Small sea vessels are located on the edge of the Phuket Islands, a medium-sized island with lush mountains and verdant greenery. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info stopped at a hidden ferry crossing among the aquatic plants on the edge of the island.

Ye Fan and Zheng Zhenan went up first to see if there were any sea beasts lurking in the surrounding miles to confirm their safety. Subsequently, the other crew members of the ship, the sailors and the warriors of the mining were allowed to go to the island one after another.

A group of thirty or forty people left the boat on the island.

Ye Fan quickly noticed that this group of miners and warriors were either a little old and weak, or they were low-spirited young men, and they were all lazy and had no energy. There are not many truly decent strong men and warriors.

"Donglai City can't recruit better miners?"

Ye Fan glanced at Zheng Zhenan.

Zheng Zhenan shook his head with a wry smile, "Mining is a dirty and tiring hard work, although I have already opened a high salary, but not many people in Donglai City are willing to do it." If they didn't have any other way out, they wouldn't have thought of coming to this island in the sea and risking their lives to mine. Even if these miners recruited in front of them can't endure hardship for a month, they will still leave many people. ”

Ye Fan nodded silently.

If you can find a job in Donglai City, it is indeed more down-to-earth than on this small island in the sea. At least don't worry, when you wake up, there is an unknown sea beast near you.

The jungle trees on the island are tall and very dense.

The people followed a path, swords in hand, and split the branches and thorny bushes that stood in the way, and headed halfway up the mountain.

In the depths of the mountainside, there is a mine with a radius of hundreds of zhang.

The mine is tightly surrounded by a ring of thick wooden walls, which are as thick as a foot and several feet high. High up in the mine, there is also a towering watchtower on which an archer looks.

The archer, alert to the sight of a large group of them approaching the mine, immediately shouted loudly and asked who it was.

"It's me, Zheng Zhen'an!"

Zheng Zhenan responded loudly.

"President Zheng, the little one will open the door for you immediately!"

The archer saw that it was President Zheng of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, and hurriedly ran down to open the gate of the mine.

At this time, President Zheng warned Ye Fan: "The wooden walls of this cottage look quite sturdy, but they are actually not of much use. During the day, the miners occasionally bask in the sun in the stockade, but they dare not go out of the stockade at night.

When the tide arrives on the night of the full moon, even the wooden village may be destroyed by sea beasts. All of them retreat to the cave and seal the entrance to the cave from being attacked by sea beasts.

Your daily task is to patrol the island and drive away the sea beasts that come ashore by chance. But on the night of the full moon, don't be outside the stockade, but stay inside the mine with other martial artists. When the tide of beasts recedes, you will come out again. Just rebuild this wooden village. ”

"Okay!"

Ye Fan nodded slightly.

It was the first time he had gone to sea, and he had never seen the sea beast tide before. If the sea beast tide is strong, of course he is hiding in the mine.

The gates of the mine opened.

The three blue-clothed martial artists walked out and hurriedly came out to greet Zheng Zhen'an with a few overseers and guards from the mine.

Zheng Zhenan took Ye Fan and the miners into this mine.

"President Zheng!"

The three blue-clothed martial artists saluted Zheng Zhen'an together.

"How is the situation in the mine this month?"

Zheng Zhen'an said.

"It's ok, it's business as usual. We all went into the cave on the night of the full moon, and the sea beasts did not cause any casualties. During the mining, a tunnel collapsed, injuring more than a dozen miners, and they had to be sent back to Donglai City for treatment. This accident has reduced the number of blue water sea placers by 10% compared to last month.

Alas, the island is too old and often has accidents, either seeping water or collapsing. There is also a lack of sufficient manpower to maintain and excavate new mines. ”

A middle-aged man in blue at the head of the group, Wuzun, complained to Zheng Zhenan and said.

"Got it. I'll arrange for a few people to move the blue water sea sand produced last month to the ship! Thirty new miners have arrived this month, and you will try to make up for all the sand mines that were reduced last month. ”

Zheng Zhenan frowned when he heard that the amount of ore had been reduced by one percent, and he didn't say anything.

He pointed at Ye Fan and introduced to them, "This is Ye Fan Ye brother, the first layer of the Martial Venerable Period. I've invited you to help you share the pressure of defending the island! He is unfamiliar with the situation here. You guys stay here for a long time, take care of it!"

The leading big man glanced at Ye Fan a few times, revealing a little surprise.

He wondered.

Ye Fan looked like he was only nearly twenty years old, and there were not many martial artists in Donglai City who were so young.

Such a young Wu Zun should have a very good future, either studying and cultivating in the Donglai County Academy, or he is a distinguished guest in the mansion of the wealthy family in Donglai City, and he is too busy to socialize with the ladies of the big family. How did you come to this barren island to guard the mines?

The big man was puzzled, but his rough face still did not move, and he immediately patted his chest, and said with a full mouth: "It's easy to say! All the people who come here are brothers, so we naturally have to take care of it, and there will be no mistakes." President Zheng can rest assured!"

"Little Brother Ye came to this mining island to help, he is free, and he can come and go in and out of various places at will. You don't have to discipline him much, let him do whatever he wants."

Zheng Zhen'an explained to a few Wuzun, and then he and the sailors carried a few large bags of blue water sea placer ore with the sailors and sailed to the small sea boat on the shore of the island.

。。

The big man looked at him respectfully, and after Zheng Zhenan walked away, he straightened his waist, turned to Ye Fan and grinned and said, "In Xia Lu Guang." This little brother Ye, who became a martial artist at this age, should be a county student of Donglai County Court, right?"

"Yes, it's a county student!"

Ye Fan nodded.

"What a envy! When the three of us brothers became Wuzun, we were already in our thirties and forties, and we couldn't get into the county court even if we wanted to. I can only cultivate blindly by myself, and I can't have a good future like you, brother!"

The big man said enviously, and then asked suspiciously, "However, why don't you cultivate in the county courtyard?" As far as I know, there are many suitable places for cultivation in the county courtyard, and Donglai City is also extremely prosperous, much better than this deserted island on the sea. ”

"I'm here to train, and by the way, I'm here to hunt sea beasts and earn some yuan stones or something. It just so happened that Chairman Cheng needed help cleaning up the sea beasts around the island, so he came over to help. Brother Lu is familiar with this area, do you know that near this island, where are there sea beasts?"

Ye Fan said with a smile.

The big man surnamed Lu seemed to ponder for a moment, and said hesitantly, "Sea beast?." I know this! In a watery beach on the east side of this island, in a cave at the bottom of the sea, there is a turtle beast that lives there. If you stay there for a while, you can see that it is there often catching fish to eat.

However, it's best not to provoke it! This guy is very powerful and very vindictive, if you want to provoke it, it will trouble you every day!"

"Thank you, I'll take a look!"

Ye Fan smiled and walked out of the mine.

Alone, fly in the direction of the water grass beach on the east side of the island.

In the mine, a martial artist next to Lu Guang said in a low voice: "Big brother, why did you deliberately lead him to find that turtle beast venerable?! That old turtle is not easy to mess with, if you don't get it right, I'm afraid this kid will be injured!"

"Hmph, let this kid suffer. Don't you see Chairman Zheng's intention to send him to the mining island?"

Lu Guang just sneered.

"What does President Zheng mean?"

That Wuzun said in surprise.

The big man surnamed Lu had a gloomy face and said: "This kid is so young, he is still a member of the Donglai County Court, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a person who will suffer at sea!"

Most of the people surnamed Zheng suspect that we have taken the blue water placer mine in private, so they plan to send someone to spy on us! But if we find another old fritter Wuzun like us, who has little prospect and just wants to mess around, he is worried that we will collude together and will not have the effect of surveillance.

So this guy surnamed Zheng found such a young and vigorous man and placed him on the mining island to monitor our movements. This kind of hairy boy has a hard temper, but it is not easy to buy. ”

"Big brother, what should we do then? If this kid keeps an eye on us, he will definitely find out what we are doing in the mine. ”

"We are on this broken island, and we only have two Yuan Stones a month, so we can only buy two of the lowest level Yuan Qi Pills to cultivate, and it is not enough to stuff the gap between our teeth. If we don't sell some blue water placer ore privately, we won't want to earn more yuan in our lives!"

"Why don't we give this kid a little color?

The other two martial artists were all taken aback, and their expressions changed greatly.

"Don't worry, we don't have to do it! Doesn't he want to kill the sea beast to earn the Yuan Stone, just let him go and fight that turtle Zun! That old turtle, even if our brothers and three Wuzun work together, they can't deal with it, he will definitely be unlucky if he goes to a hairy boy!

The most important thing is that the old turtle has a very small heart and a grudge. It can run in the sea and on land, and if you provoke it, there will be no stable days. When that kid is unlucky, there is a time for him to beg us!"

The big man surnamed Lu crossed his arms to his chest and sneered.

"It's still a big brother!"

"This hand borrowed a knife to kill people, and it was used too much. ”

"That kid is very tender, at first glance, he hasn't been at sea, where can he fight with the eldest brother and a few of us. ”

The other two martial artists finally understood, and couldn't help but admire it greatly, and praised one after another.

They no longer cared about Ye Fan's actions, and commanded the new miners and warriors to enter the mine to mine the blue water sea placer mine.

Ye Fan was in the dense jungle of the island, running quickly, and it didn't take long for him to fly to the east shore of the island, a beach with aquatic grass.

"The turtle beast that Lu Guang said should be in this area! I don't know how powerful that turtle beast is. But since the mines on the mountain can be safely defended, it shouldn't be so powerful that it is a genius!"

Ye Fan pondered in his heart.

Lu Guang and other martial artists are mediocre in strength, and they are only in the early stage of martial arts. The three of them can guard the mine, so this turtle Zun will not be too powerful, otherwise the three of them will not be able to stay on the mountain at all.

Ye Fan had killed four Lu Clan Beast Venerables, Mountain Boars, Mountain Apes, Blood Bats, and Blue Wolf Beasts, and he was still confident in dealing with ordinary Beast Venerables.

"It's just right to borrow the blood of this turtle Venerable to try the effect of the bloodline combat technique and the Blood Saint Dafa exercises!"

Ye Fan patiently sat down near the beach, closed his eyes and concentrated, listening carefully to the movements of the surrounding seabed, looking for the trace of the turtle beast.

He had never used his bloodline skills before, and he was looking forward to it.
