Chapter 144: Trying to Persuade
After the ordinary steward named Li Kan in the Hongfeng Pavilion branch went to the other side, Ye Kui also raised his vigilance in his heart, and then left the Hongfeng Pavilion branch.
"Suiko Island? I'd better figure out the situation on the island before I act, and now I'd better find a quiet place to stay. ”
Ye Kui then bypassed a carriage and entered a roadside stall, where he ordered two large bowls of white rice porridge and a small bowl of pickled dishes.
Ye Kui felt that in the hot summer, if he saw two large bowls of moderately thick white rice porridge on the table in front of him, and a small bowl of sour side dishes filled with capers, cabbage, sour white radish, sour ginger, and sour garlic, it was basically difficult to resist eating.
In addition, it is also a large watermelon that looks bright red and ripe after cutting, and some delicious and sweet cold soup with smoothie can be compared.
"Here, you don't need to look for the store."
"Okay, haha, the guest officer's appetite is really good, just eat the porridge and make a sound, the old man will come over to help you serve another bowl immediately, and the guest officer will enjoy it slowly."
"Uncle has worked hard."
This half-white-haired old man is the owner of this roadside stall, and after receiving Ye Kui's money, he continued to be busy with a smile.
At this time, a demonic aura floated through the entrance of the street where Ye Kui was.
When Ye Kui had almost eaten the second bowl of white rice porridge, the carriage and the two horses that had stayed outside the small stall were suddenly overturned together, and the sound of impact and the neighing of the horses sounded one after another, and the side of the carriage that was knocked out was also stained with some green blood.
The mortal sitting in the carriage and the driver who was in charge of driving the carriage then fell from the carriage to the ground, and a large bag was immediately knocked on the face, and the rest of the body was also hit red and swollen.
"Happens... What's going on?"
"Just now I only saw a figure flashing, and then the carriage and the horse were knocked over, did I see the hell during the day?"
"Let's go over and see what is going on, the men who fell off the carriage seem to have fainted."
While these mortals helped the unconscious people up, Ye Kui also ate the white rice porridge in the bowl, as well as a small half bowl of pickled vegetables, and then Ye Kui walked in a certain direction on the street.
"But I, that monk stalked all the way, why is he unwilling to let go of Lao Tzu, ouch, my eyes, if I hadn't been hurt in the eyes, I wouldn't have hit the carriage just now, and I shouldn't have attracted the attention of other monks?"
A big man who looked a little fierce was leaning his back against a wall, and talking about what had just happened, and it seemed that he had knocked over the carriage.
"This friend, your body seems to be injured a lot, do you want to go see a doctor?"
"What? It's time to catch up! Well? It's good no, ahem, I'm just a little unwell, it's okay for you. ”
Turning into an ordinary big man's demon cultivator tried to get Ye Kui out of here, he had no intention of eating now.
"I knocked over the carriage, and I ran pretty fast, and after a while I slipped a few streets away, but it didn't work much."
At this time, Ye Kui had already walked not far from the demon cultivator, and then joked.
"Okay, I finally got rid of a difficult dead monk, and now I met another one, it's really fucking bad luck today, I knew that I would sleep at home now, so I might not be able to meet you two damn monks!"
The demon cultivator noticed that Ye Kui was a monk, and his face became a little more angry.
"I'm not in the mood to entangle with you and tell you what you've done just and before, so that I can consider not letting you leave this place."
Ye Kui finished saying this in a chatty tone, and then stood more than ten steps away from the demon cultivator.
"Ha, I'm not ashamed, look at Lao Tzu now like eating the hearts and livers of those dolls..."
It's a pity that this demon cultivator didn't finish speaking, and a whole circle of blood appeared on his neck.
"I don't even have a chance to quibble."
Ye Kui packed up the demon cultivator, and by the way, he took away the valuables on this demon cultivator.
Not long after Ye Kui left this place, the five monks quickly arrived here, but the five of them only saw some green blood stains on the ground not far away, and the ashes that had only been left after being burned by the fire.
"There were other monks who rushed in front of a few of us and killed that demon cultivator, alas. It's been a lot of work. ”
"Convinced, it's obvious that we beat that damn demon cultivator to a serious injury, otherwise how could that guy who took advantage of it succeed so easily!"
"Count us unlucky, I'll go and pack those ashes with demonic qi away, so that when I go back, I can be regarded as completing the task in the fairy gate, but my opinion is that it is better for several of us to unify the caliber first, otherwise it is very likely to be punctured."
"That's right."
"The old rules, I'll make up the reasons, just memorize them."
After a brief complaint, the five monks began to exchange conversations when they returned to the Immortal Gate.
Ye Kui, who was in this meeting, left a city where the Hongfeng Pavilion branch was located, and then walked on the wide official road.
"The information given by the Hongfeng Pavilion Branch Pavilion says that Suikou Island is an island close to the eastern seas, and there are many reefs in the sea area where Suikou Island is located, and mortal ships can't go there at all, only flying monks, demon cultivators, flying birds, and the like can reach Suikou Island."
Ye Kui saw some information about Hesui Island from Hongjiu Jade Perry.
Under normal circumstances, Suiko Island is like a fenced training place, or Suikou Island is an island where monks capture and slaughter monsters at will.
Until one day, a group of demon beasts with similar spiritual intelligence and monks and demon cultivators appeared on Suikou Island, and on that day, almost all the monks who were still hunting easily and happily on Suikou Island died at the hands of that group of demon beasts that came out of nowhere.
Originally, there were thousands of monks, but in the end, only more than a dozen monks managed to escape from Suikou Island alive, and it was precisely because of these more than a dozen monks that Hongfeng Pavilion and Cailan Yacurie would have a lot of new tasks.
"Looking at it this way, there seems to be nothing wrong with what Li Kan said at that time, it seems that everything is normal, very simple, but I always feel that something is wrong, maybe because the recent events have made me more sensitive to everything."
Thinking of this, Ye Kui took out the boundary map and looked at it for a while, and after determining the location of Suikou Island, the fairy sword on Ye Kui's waist broke off and came out of the sheath directly.
Ye Kui also jumped on the fairy sword casually, and finally the sound of breaking the wind sounded in Ye Kui's ears, and this was the time to set off.
It didn't take long for Ye Kui to come to Suikou Island, which belongs to the East China Sea, and it looks no different from other large islands.
The raised mountains, the dense woods, the sun-soaked beaches, and the sea-scented sea breeze make for a very comfortable feeling.
Of course, the premise is that there is a dense forest on Suiko Island
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
There was no smell of blood, and there were no carcasses scattered on the beach farther away from the water, pecked at carrion by strange birds that could not be named.
There were also more than a dozen bodies that looked to have just died, but the new ones seemed to have been thrown onto the beach from a distance, and the bodies had been smashed quite a bit.
These inappropriate embellishments make people suddenly have no intention of spending time on this island, of course, and that is only for the average person.
In addition to these, Ye Kui also felt a fluctuation of spiritual power under the area near the coast of Suikou Island.
"Is it a fence?"
Ye Kui knew that some monks had laid down some highly targeted laws and prohibitions around Suikou Island, which should not include monks and demon cultivators.
"Then the lords should be in the deep woods, and they should go... Well? These people looked a little familiar, it seemed that those Taoist friends came to this Suikou Island in a hurry as soon as they took on a new task from the Hongfeng Pavilion Branch.
It's a pity that it ended up like this afterwards, how can I say it, it comes and goes quickly?"
Ye Kui glanced at the new corpses, and then found several familiar faces, they were the monks who had competed for a new task in the Wind Pavilion of the Hongfeng Pavilion before.
After confirming the surrounding situation, Ye Kui turned around and walked towards the forest.
"What's wrong?"
I don't know why, Ye Kui always has a sense of incongruity when he looks at the mountains, woods, and ground on this island.
"First the mountains, then the woods, then the ground, that's how it was."
Ye Kui raised his open palms and gestured in front of him for a while, and then realized why he felt a little awkward in his heart when he looked here.
"The island, known as Suiko, was completely forcibly pieced together.
The mountains on this island, the woods on this island, and the ground on this island were all taken from various places, and finally they were put together to form this Suikou Island. ”
Ye Kui quickly saw through the original appearance of this island, and then there were more doubts in his heart.
"That's right, Suikou Island is like a fenced breeding place, there are monks who put a lot of demon beasts in Suikou Island, and let them grow slowly, and finally come in and slaughter them.
According to the intelligence, this Suikou Island seems to have given birth to some very dangerous demon beasts, and those demon beasts are not as stupid as the previous Suikou Island, and they will only be slaughtered by the monks who came here.
Not only did the new monsters have intelligence, but the monsters had begun to deal with the monks who had come here with plans, and most importantly, the monsters seemed to have developed a hatred for the monks who came to the island.
The pile of corpses that had been thrown from the forest directly onto the shore and beach had been specially used by the monsters to warn the monks who had come to Suiko Island later. ”
While heading towards the depths of the island, Ye Kui deduced some things about Suikou Island based on the corpses of the old and new monks he found on the beach and the original appearance of the island.
"Rustle"
Just as Ye Kui was about to take the next step, there was a faint sound of branches and leaves rubbing against each other.
Ye Kui couldn't help but look up at the top of the woods, where there was a huge monster.
The monster was covered in gray hair, it had limbs and arms, and the monster's entire face looked like an ape.
The monster found that Ye Kui had discovered itself, so he directly let go of the palm that was grabbing the trunk of the tree, and then quickly jumped down towards the location where Ye Kui was.
"Boom!"
Two huge footprints were trampled on the ground, and at the same time, a large cloud of earth-colored smoke and dust was stirred up, and the ape-faced four-armed monster felt that it had not stepped on Ye Kui, and then began to wave its four fisted hands vigorously and constantly pounded the area covered by the smoke
The giant ape-faced monster would even kick the ground with its toes, picking up rocks from the ground and slamming them in all directions.
The first to suffer were the towering trees around them, most of which were either smashed with fists by ape-faced monsters, kicked by giant clawed feet, and some of them were struck by flying rocks and finally shattered like paperskin.
This process lasted for most of the incense before the gray ape-faced four-armed monster would stop splashing and rolling in its attack.
"Is this the monster that the Hongfeng Pavilion wants us to capture? The realm of the gray-faced four-armed monster in front of him has reached the fifth level of the Void Cutting Mirror, and it looks very noisy.
If it was another monk, they might have been beaten half to death by the sneak attack it had just made, and then the corpse was thrown directly from here to the beach by the gray ape-faced monster.
I don't know if the monsters behind will be to this extent, or if they are more powerful, it seems that the monks who wanted to catch a bunch of demon beasts at once and earn a lot of spirit stones in the Hongfeng Pavilion branch had to spend a little more effort. ”
Ye Kui stood on the branch of an extremely tall tree, condescendingly watching all the scenes of the gray ape-faced monster's crazy attack just now.
"Do you understand people?"
Ye Kui, who had already descended to the floor of the woods, raised his head slightly and looked at the back of the head of the monster gray ape-faced four-armed monster.
However, it may be because of the excessive physical strength consumed just now, the gray-faced four-armed monster was still panting heavily, completely covering Ye Kui's voice.
Until Ye Kui kicked up a fist-sized piece of broken stone with his foot and hit the back of the gray ape-faced monster's head, and the stone hit the back of the monster's head and shattered directly into slag.
That's when the gray-faced four-armed monster caught the attention of the gray-faced four-armed monster.
Just as the gray ape-faced monster was about to roar, a stone more than ten times larger than the stone just now flew towards the gray ape-faced monster head-on and directly hit the gray ape-faced monster's half-open mouth, causing the gray ape-faced monster to close its mouth.
This just interrupted the roaring action of the gray ape-faced monster, and then the gray ape-faced monster rushed towards Ye Kui with extreme anger.
"Can you understand people?"
This sentence was only uttered by Ye Kui wrapped his voice with spiritual power, which was enough for the gray ape-faced monster on the opposite side to hear it clearly.
"People... Terran monks, come to the island, kill! ”
After the gray ape-faced four-armed monster heard Ye Kui's inquiry, Ye Kui replied in an unskilled and ugly trill, and at the same time, the gray ape-faced monster had no intention of stopping.
"I have something to ask you, maybe we can sit down and talk, and if so, I hope you can take me to other areas of Suiko Island to meet the monsters that are as suddenly intelligent as you, but of a different kind."
After Ye Kui finished speaking, he was still standing in place, even if there was a "knock knock" sound on the ground that was getting closer and closer, Ye Kui had no intention of dodging at all.
"It seems that I can only calm you down first."
At this time, Ye Kui had already taken out a ring ruler from the space, and then the right hand holding the ring ruler slowly raised.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The gray ape-faced monster on the opposite side saw Ye Kui standing still in a daze, and his originally restless heart suddenly burst into ecstasy, and the gray-faced four-armed monster was facing him, and now he could finally kick the Terran monk with one kick.
However, when the gray ape-faced monster ran in front of Ye Kui, deliberately raised smoke and dust and locked on to Ye Kui's position, and kicked out his right foot with all his strength.
With a crisp sound, the ring ruler in Ye Kui's hand hit the nail of the right foot kicked by the gray ape-faced monster on the opposite side.
At that moment, the gray ape-faced monster that should have been able to kick Ye Kui suddenly fell to the ground, and some words began to appear on the gray ape-faced monster's body.
Then the grey ape-faced monster felt its body doubly heavy, but the grey-faced four-armed monster quickly struggled to its feet.
The words that had originally appeared on the gray ape-faced monster also began to slowly fade, and finally dissipated directly.
This time it was Ye Kui's turn to be surprised, the effect that could last for a long time after Ye Kui used the "Gifting Learning" to hit other monks with one foot would actually disappear so quickly.
"What's going on? Is it my problem or is it your four-gibbon problem?"
Just as Ye Kui was looking sideways at the ring ruler in his right hand and falling into deep thought, the gray ape-faced four-armed monster found the right time to fly towards Ye Kui, trying to crush Ye Kui directly with his weight.
"Prisoners read the Fa and calm the soul."
Just when the shadow that began to stretch after the gray ape-faced four-armed monster jumped up was about to completely cover Ye Kui, Ye Kui also raised his head and cast one of the three forbidden methods that had not been used for a long time.
At this moment, the gray-faced four-armed monster felt a severe pain in its soul, and began to lose its steady form and fell to the ground from mid-air.
The kind of power that can't be resisted by the body alone is slowly squeezing the divine soul of the gray ape-faced four-armed monster, and now the gray ape-faced four-armed monster can no longer bear the pain of the divine soul shattering, and begins to roar loudly and roll all over the ground.
"Haven't you calmed down yet?"
After five or six breaths, Ye Kui saw that the gray-faced four-armed monster still had the strength to keep knocking the ground up and down with his head, so he began to increase his strength.
After this, the gray-faced four-armed monster finally stopped resisting, no longer rolling its body, and could only tremble and lie in front of Ye Kui with his head with both hands.
"You don't know how to restrain yourself if you don't give a little pain, and when I unravel the spell, you have two choices.
The first is to answer my questions honestly.
The second is to try to beat me to death again.
Besides, I've already said it just now, I just want to ask you some questions, and if you really don't want to cooperate, then I can also find other monsters to talk to. ”
In the end, after Ye Kui lifted the spell, the head collapsed to the side, and then opened its mouth hard, panting heavily, as if it had been dipped in the water tank with its head pressed for a while before breaking free.
"Okay, let's explain first, I won't pursue anything about what you did with you before, provided that you answer my question, what is your purpose in the future?"
When Ye Kui said this, he still looked around from time to time.
"We... Just want to kill... Kill the monks. ”
The gray-faced four-armed monster that was paralyzed on the ground replied to Ye Kui with difficulty, and in the eyes it looked at Ye Kui, there was nothing but uneasiness and hatred.
"I can see this, and I can probably guess the origin and meaning of this Suiko Island, but what I asked you about is what you want to do in the future, killing the monk is just what you want to do now, not your ultimate goal."
"We want to... Together... Get out of here and go to... Go where it really belongs to us. ”
When the gray-faced four-armed monster said this, it also took advantage of the time when Ye Kui was looking away, and secretly shook his head in a certain direction in the surrounding woods.
"Do you mean a small number of demon beasts, or do you mean the entire Suiko Island?"
Ye Kui thought that if all the demon beasts on Suikou Island had left here, then the only place they could go now would be the northern part of the Tianque Continent.
The northern part of the Tianque Continent is basically inhabited by demon races, including demon beasts, of course, there are some who have gone astray by cultivating and gone mad, and finally the demons who have annihilated human nature will also choose to live in the north of the Tianque Continent.
"Let's get out of here together, one by one."
"Do you have wood and other helpers? If you are alone, there is a high probability that you will not be able to leave, and there is one more thing I discovered when I came to this Suikou Island.
There are monks who have set up magic circles and magic bans deep underground around Suiko Island, and if I guessed correctly, those magic circles and magic circles should only work on you demon beasts.
After all, these magic circles and prohibitions that function like fences are used to completely imprison you demon beasts on Suikou Island, and only we monks can enter and leave Suikou Island at will. ”
After thinking for a while, Ye Kui summarized the things he had already considered before saying it in front of the gray-faced four-armed monster.
However, after a while, the gray-faced four-armed monster seemed to suddenly become dumb, and remained silent.
The silent appearance of the gray ape-faced four-armed monster on the opposite side made Ye Kui guess something again.
"I guess I'm right, right? You demon beasts really have helpers outside Suikou Island, and those helpers must have promised you demon beasts something, including taking away the demon beasts on Suikou Island.
In addition to that, I want to know some things, such as whether the guys who promised to help you are monks or demon cultivators?"
"Can't say... Can't tell you. ”
After hearing the answer of the gray ape-faced four-armed demon beast, Ye Kui knew that he couldn't be in a hurry, after all, this group of demon beasts that had already opened their minds were the same as other demon beasts, and they had been trapped by monks on Suikou Island before, and then treated like chickens, ducks, pigs, cows and sheep.
If this gray-faced four-armed demon beast or other enlightened demon beast suddenly believed that a monk who had also just come to Suikou Island to capture demon beasts, it would definitely take a certain amount of time and a lot of patience to convey kindness and show sincerity.
"Then let's change the question, do you know which immortal sects and sects put your demon beasts here? You can also tell us about the characteristics of the clothes they wear or the way they speak.
In addition, apart from people like me who came to Suikou Island with a purpose to find the demon beasts that had opened their minds, what kind of monks came to Suikou Island to capture and even kill you demon beasts before this?"
This time, Ye Kui wanted to know if the new tasks in the Hongfeng Pavilion were suddenly added temporarily.
"Those... Before... The monks have been wearing... Items that cover your face, clothes you wear are also... Somewhat unified. ”
"Then it's hard to find."
This will be Ye Kui's turn to get bigger, Ye Kui thought, and could only slowly rule it out afterwards.
