"Why are you here?" Tao Xiaozhi exchanged pleasantries with the people of Rose and Skull, and then wanted to solve the questions in their hearts.

"It's a long story, but we have time, right?"

Then his right eye flickered, and he continued: "After saying goodbye to you and leaving the Sea Dragon Peninsula, we want to go back to the Western Black Sea, but we have to go through the battle line of Demi-Immortal Island and Ghost Island, and you know that the people on both sides are not very welcoming to us。。。。。。。。 So, we're just going for a ride here, doing business with some pirate smugglers, bringing in some weird spices from the weird island cheaply, and selling them to the pirate bootleggers (who might sell them to people on both sides of the island, the half-fairy island, and the ghost island, and make a huge profit, who cares)。。。。。。。 No, we just wanted to go to the strange island, but we saw a boat with the flag of the Holy Spirit Source, and we wanted to play tricks on it, but we didn't want to see you on the boat too。。。。。。。。 I didn't think these brutes would want to attack you!"

Tao Xiaozhi will talk a little about the past.

"So, are you looking for the old tortoise?" said the one-eyed baby, "so I can ride with you—but for a fee!"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "We almost lost our lives, what money do we have? If you can find anything valuable on the ship, it will be a miracle!"

"Just kidding!" laughed the one-eyed baby, "I see that you don't understand humor anymore!"

Perhaps, after going through so much, I hardly even joke about my own daily life, let alone understand the jokes of others! Is this maturity? Is this the pain that growth must go through?

The one-eyed baby said: "You guys go with us to the strange island first, and after we finish our business there, we will take you to the bastard egg island." ”

"Thank you very much!"

"It's all brothers!"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Who shot the arrow just now, and the archery method is so accurate?"

The one-eyed baby shouted, and a long skeleton came out, holding a bow of white bones and carrying a quiver with a bundle of white arrows, a red turban on his head, and a cross in the hole in his left eye, whether it was for aiming or just decoration.

"His name is Langli White Arrow, and he is the younger brother of Langli Baigu, who recently inherited his brother's last wish to join us. ”

Tao Xiaozhi and Langli Bai Arrow arched their hands to each other.

"Don't stand here stupidly, it's rare to get together again, come in and let's have a few drinks!" cried the captain.

The one-eyed baby laughed: "If you don't pour before the second drink, I'll dig out the 'eyeballs' for you!"

"Then let the horses come!"

It is ten miles away from the strange island, which must be reachable before the next night, but the Rose and Skull still choose to arrive at night, because there are three more people including Tao Xiaozhi. These three people are very special because they are not skeletons, because everyone who has mixed in the Black Sea knows that the Rose and the Skull are skeletons except for the captain Rose, who is a human (or rose), so if people know about it, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

Therefore, before going to the island, they wrapped their whole bodies tightly, and then mixed in with nearly a hundred skeletons, bowing their heads in the hope of getting by. Even so, the customs of Strange Island still pulled out Tao Xiaozhi, Amu and the iron bucket, and the customs officer looked at them suspiciously, and said, "Who are they?"

Although Rose has a pass to the strange island, not everyone on the ship has it, because there are not many people on the ship.

"Slaves. "At noon, we made a boat, which belonged to the sailors of the Hailong Peninsula, and killed five of them, and we didn't catch anything, only these three remained—you see, I pulled the broken boat over so that it could be used to load the goods!"

The customs officer looked at the wrecked ship with the flag of the Holy Spirit Source, but was still skeptical.

He shoved some silver taels into the official's hands. Then the official nodded: "Yes, it's the bird boat from the Holy Spirit Source。。。。。。 To be honest, I hate people in that country at all, all of them look weird and do weird things。。。。。。。。。 ”

He patted the official on the shoulder and smiled, "I've been to so many places, only this place seems particularly natural and friendly, and other places are fucking weird places!"

"That's a fact!"

"How about inviting you to drink another day when you're free?"

"Definitely, definitely!"

"Okay, let's find a place to stay. ”

Then, Xue Gui kicked the buttocks of Tao Xiaozhi, Amu and the iron bucket, and scolded angrily: "Don't hurry up and help me with my luggage, goddamn dead minions!"

The place where they settled was a large house near a spice plantation of several thousand acres, which is said to have been lived by the owner of the plantation before, although it was a little long, but it was still quite large, and it was no problem to live in twenty or thirty people. The other skeletons had to live in a bamboo hut built next to the house.

Nothing happened that night.

The next day, all right, another three days.

In the past few days, Tao Xiaozhi and the others have only been recuperating from their injuries and are almost recovering, which surprised them. It is said that the herbs they apply externally and internally are fortified with plantation botanicals.

"What kind of plant is this?" Tao Xiaozhi looked at the endless purple large-leaved plants, and then asked the ship doctor of the Rose and Skull.

These plants are shaped like plantains, but the tallest is only half a meter high, and they have brown flowers and black fruits that look like they have withered, and this is one of its characteristics: during the day, these leaves are like mimosas when touched by the sun, they shrink and wrap the fruit, and at night they regain their "vitality", and the dark fragrance is overflowing!

"Spice plants. The ship's doctor smiled and gave a simple and clear answer. The ship's doctor was a one-armed skeleton, the bones of which were held in place by a metal frame and wrapped in bandages - it was said that he had a strange disease, and that his bones were not working. His name is Nameless Bone.

Tao Xiaozhi said: "I don't think it's that simple!"

A light flashed in the nameless bone's "eye", and then he smiled: "This is a spice, a medicinal herb, and a poison!"

Tao Xiaozhi and the three of them were surprised: A plant with three functions, isn't it very contradictory?!

The iron bucket sneered: "Since this is a poison, why didn't we die?"

Nameless Bone said: "Because it is a medicine!"

There is no contradiction in this: Aren't many medicinal materials "fighting poison with poison"?

Nameless Bone continued: "It is tasteless and painless, just like plain water, and it will not bring any feeling to the patient when taken internally or externally, but in fact, death has always been lurking invisibly: as long as the amount is not just right, even if it is only between the particles, medicine will become poison, and take people's lives in an instant!

"Then aren't you joking with our lives?!Can we use such a dangerous medicine for our injuries?!" Amu grabbed the nameless bone, and really wanted to crush its bones!

Nameless Bone smiled indifferently: "Aren't you doing well now?Besides, if I don't have confidence in my medical skills, how can I let you take such a big risk?"

Amu pushed him away and said dissatisfiedly: "But you must at least ask for our consent!"

Nameless said, "I'm just doing my duty as a healer. ”

Amu said angrily: "Those who study medicine are not fucking good things, they are all fucking perverts!"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Since it is 'tasteless', how can it be a 'spice'?"

This may be the biggest contradiction, the first one is understandable, this is simply challenging the limit of people's logical chaos!

Nameless smiled mysteriously, "Because it is not a taste spice, but a spiritual spice: only in the spirit world can its fragrance be felt。。。。。。。。。 ”

"You mean。。。。。。。。。 ”

"You'd better not know too much。。。。。。。 ”

"Otherwise?" Amu argued.

Nameless smiled mysteriously, did not speak, and walked directly to the plants to collect medicinal herbs.

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Can you tell me, what is its name?"

"Woman incense. ”
