The ghost ship where the believers of the city are located, in a slightly dimly lit boatswain cabin.

Tan Xiao and the fifth sister gathered around a shabby table.

The three of them looked solemn and frowned, as if they were discussing something important.

"What should I do now?"

Fifth Yanran asked softly.

The fifth Shuran followed up and said, "Yes, now there are two more ghost ships docking, and the stairs where they landed have mysteriously disappeared......"

Tan Xiao took a deep breath, and while tapping lightly on the table, he said slowly: "Now that the evil on our ship has been solved, the dead man's money has gradually fallen into the hands of our three major cities. ”

He paused and continued, "By the time all the dead money is alive, this ghost ship will soon sink.

Well, we're left with only two options: either find a way to get ashore, or go to the other two ghost ships. ”

Laughing, he pulled out two copper bolts he had found from the ghost ship.

The brass bolt made a crisp sound with a slight touch, which was particularly harsh in the silence of the ship.

"Poor individuals are biased towards landing. I have calculated before, this thing in our hands is definitely of great use to Brother Dao Xuan. ”

Talking and laughing, he held the copper bolt tightly in his hand.

"What do you think?" He looked up at the fifth sister with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"Naturally, we are listening to the arrangement of the Taoist Master."

The fifth Yanran and the fifth Shuran said in unison.

Although they still have doubts in their hearts, their trust in talking and laughing makes them make a choice without hesitation.

"That'll do." Talking and laughing, he got up, "Let's go, go to the deck first, and see the arrangements of the rest of the houses." ”

……

Death Island.

Li Daoxuan looked at the dancer and Qin Cun in front of him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "What arrangements do you two have?" ”

The dancer didn't rush to speak, but looked at Qin Cun.

The latter hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I'll go to the ferry first and see what is going on with the two ghost ships that have come back again." ”

In the final analysis, Qin Cun got enough benefits and paid a big enough price, so he didn't want to stay here for a while at the moment.

The whistle of an evil suppression tower has satisfied him, but at the same time, it has also made him the target of public criticism.

When Li Daoxuan heard this answer, he looked at him with a faint gaze, but he was not in a hurry to make a move...... After all, the effect of the oath paper still works on them.

This is one of the most fundamental rules in the world, and no one dares to provoke it easily.

"What about you?" Qin Cun looked at the dancing girl with a hint of hope in his eyes.

How could he not see his current situation?

The value of a whistle is enough to make anyone greedy and malicious towards him, and Lee Do-hyun is undoubtedly the most threatening one.

As for the fight...... He is not Li Daoxuan's opponent even if he is intact, let alone dragging this broken body now.

So the best thing to do is to seek an alliance to deal with Lee Do-hyun's threat together.

And the dancer is undoubtedly his best choice at the moment.

"Me?"

The dancer's eyes wandered between Li Daoxuan and Qin Cun, as if she was making a choice.

She knows in her heart that her position and choices at the moment will determine her future fate and direction.

However, she quickly decided: "I'd better look on the island, after all, I haven't whistled yet." ”

——————————

As the leader of the young area of the shogunate city, Qin Cun has a calm and unhurried bearing.

After listening to the dancer's decision, he did not show any dissatisfaction or abnormality in his expression, but said with an indifferent attitude: "Then you two have to be careful...... There are a lot of quirks on this island. ”

After speaking, he slowly got up and solemnly saluted the two of them.

He looked at Li Daoxuan and the dancer with firm eyes, and said with gratitude in his voice: "Today's life-saving grace, Qin Cun will not dare to forget, if he has a way to come in the future, he will definitely be rewarded!" ”

Li Daoxuan bowed slightly, indicating that he accepted his gratitude.

He watched Qin Cun turn around and leave, until the figure of the other party passed through the ancient archway and disappeared into the corner of the extreme distance.

The dancer looked at Qin Cun's departing back, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart. She turned to look at Li Daoxuan and asked softly, "What about us?" ”

Li Daoxuan looked up at the sky, and it was still full of dark clouds.

He took a deep breath and said, "I estimate that there may not be much time left, let's look for it separately first, and it's up to us whether we can find the opportunity." ”

He paused, and then added, "You pinch the time, come here before dark, as long as you don't die, you have to come." ”

The dancer nodded vigorously, she also knew that the situation was urgent, and there was no room for hesitation and slackness.

"I'll go this way, you go that way."

Li Daoxuan pointed to the north, and then without hesitation, he turned around and walked deeper into the island.

The dancers chose the south side, walking towards the densely populated area near the sea.

————————

After the two separated, Li Daoxuan made sure that no one was following, so he walked straight to the room he had previously fancied.

As soon as he jumped out of the chamber, he noticed an alien armed with a fishing net escaping into the room.

According to the plaque, a door must be knocked three times at most.

But Li Daoxuan didn't knock once, he came closer, took a deep breath, and then kicked out with a heavy kick.

"Bang-" There was a loud bang, the wooden door was kicked open, and in the black smoke and miasma, Li Daoxuan also saw the scene inside.

In the middle of the room was a black stone table, on which were placed several bottles and jars, which were filled with liquids of various colors and emitted a strange smell.

On the side sat the terrified xenomorph.

His blue pupils were filled with panic, as if he had seen something terrible.

He shouted in a broken voice, "It's not me, it's not me, it's Ksank who came to call me." ”

"Ksangk?" Li Daoxuan followed along, his eyes wandering around the room, and finally stopped at the fishing net in the corner.

He walked over, picked it up with a knife, and asked, "What is this made of?" ”

The xenomorph knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and then said, "This trap is made by us from a special kind of seaweed in the sea. ”

His voice trembled, obviously full of awe and fear for Li Daoxuan.

"Where's the knife?" Li Daoxuan continued to ask.

"Knife ...... The knife was made from the island's special mineral deposits. The xenomorph stammered in reply.

"One last question." Li Daoxuan put away the fishing net, and his gaze became sharp, "Who on your island can make such a blade?" ”

The xenomorph hesitated for a moment, then said in a slur voice, "Only...... Only the island's blacksmith Axes could craft such a blade. ”

"Where's Ax?"

"He's so old, no one has seen him for years, and he's probably died somewhere."

His voice grew lower and lower, as if he was afraid of being heard by others.

Li Daoxuan nodded, already having a plan in his heart. He turned and walked out of the room, leaving a cloud of dust and the alien still on his knees.

Just when the alien thought he could escape, a sharp rock flew in from the outside and grazed his neck.

One hit.

Killed!

The pig-killing knife was damaged, and it happened that there was such a blacksmith on this dead island, so naturally it was necessary to look for it.

He shuttled through the patchwork of ancient buildings, and the sound of the sea breeze whistling in his ears seemed to remind him that this was not a place to stay for long.

During this time, he also tried to crash through several stone houses that appeared to be occupied, but they were all empty when he entered.

The cobwebs inside the house were already announcing that there were really few people on this dead island.

But there may be, but they live south of the ferry where the dancing girls go.

And just when Li Daoxuan was about to go to other places to take a look, a strange aura suddenly hit, Li Daoxuan was instantly alert, his pupils constricted, and his eyes looked around.

The air around them seemed to freeze at this moment, and the stone in the darkness seemed to come to life, wriggling and twisting, as if something was about to burst out of its shell.

Suddenly, he saw black shadows slowly emerging from the stones, at first only faint shadows, but in just a few breaths, they became more and more solid, as if they could fall out of the stones at any time.

A strong uneasiness swelled in Li Daoxuan's heart, and he clenched the pig-killing knife in his hand.

These dark shadows ...... Is it Amito?!

The thought crossed his mind, but he immediately wondered.

As far as he knew, wasn't Amida supposed to be able to walk only inside the wood?

How can I walk inside the stone now?

The shadows didn't give him much time to think, they broke out of the stone, let out a shrill whistling sound, and swooped down on him like ghosts.

Li Daoxuan was in good shape, dodging left and right, and skillfully avoided Amito's attack.

The pig-killing knife in his hand slashed through the air with a cold light, slashing at these evil creatures.

But what shocked him was that these Amita's bodies were unusually hard, and his knife slashed on them, making a sound of gold and iron colliding, and sparks flew in all directions.

After a fierce struggle, Li Daoxuan finally found an opportunity, and he slashed [disemboweling] at Amito's neck with a knife, cutting off his head.

However, the vitality of these evil creatures is extremely tenacious, and even when the head hits the ground, the body is still wriggling, trying to grow a new head again.

Li Daoxuan didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, he hurriedly swung several knives and completely split the body of this Amituo until the other party was completely silent.

But just as he breathed a sigh of relief, more Amita poured out of the stones around him and surrounded him.

Li Daoxuan knew that it was not good, one Amida was still difficult to deal with, let alone face so many at the same time.

He turned and ran, trying to find a breakthrough.

But Amito's speed was obviously beyond his imagination, and he just caught up in the blink of an eye.

Just when Li Daoxuan was about to be caught up, a stone gate suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

He didn't have time to think about it and crashed into it.

The stone door slammed shut, keeping Amita out.

I don't know why, these Amita, who can walk among the stones at will, can't pass through this stone door.

Li Daoxuan gasped and looked at the scene in front of him.

It is a huge stone cave with a very spacious interior, and the walls of the cave are carved with all kinds of strange symbols and patterns, which emit a faint light, reflecting the whole cave as if it were daytime.

In the center of the cave there is a stone table and several stone benches.

There are some unknown utensils on the stone table, which look old and full of the vicissitudes of history.

And at the stone table sat an extremely old xenomorph.

There were only a few sparse white hairs left on his head, his eyes shrugged as if he were dead, and his skin was wrinkled and clung to his bones. His clothes were rotten and hung in tatters.

For a while, Li Daoxuan couldn't tell whether the other party was dead or alive.

However, it was then that his panel gave the answer.

[Walking on the island of death, you will meet a third-generation "prisoner", and your survival point will be +8 (blue). 】

So this man ...... Not dead?

Li Daoxuan walked cautiously with a pig-killing knife and asked tentatively, "Are you?" ”

The old man raised his head with great difficulty and glanced at him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he said slowly: "How many years have outsiders finally come to this island......"

His voice was hoarse and low, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time.

But he spoke fluently, not in the least as lame as those on the outside.

Li Daoxuan's heart moved, and he seemed to have a guess, but he still tentatively asked again: "Dare to ask you?" ”

He was mainly curious about the identity of the "three generations of prisoners" given by the panel.

The old man was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "Ax." ”

His voice, though weak, was full of vicissitudes and helplessness.

"You're Ax?" Li Daoxuan was surprised.

"Haven't you been looking for me? Now I am in front of you, and you don't know me. Akes slowed down for a moment, and when he spoke again, there was already a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Li Daoxuan looked around at Arkes, his eyes were a little curious and inquisitive.

In the end, he walked straight to Akes, handed over the pig-killing knife in his hand, and said, "I want you to help reforge this knife in my hand, can you?" ”

Akers slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on the pig-killing knife in Li Daoxuan's hand.

It was a knife full of vicissitudes and murderous aura, and the blade was stained with dried blood, as if telling of its former glory and glory.

A glint of appreciation flashed in Akes' eyes, he nodded, and said in a faint and hoarse voice: "The knife is a good knife, there is a lot of blood, and the dirty materials on it are also very good......"

Hearing Akes's praise, Li Daoxuan asked, "Is that okay?" ”

Akes sighed softly and shook his head helplessly: "If you had come ten or eight years earlier, I would definitely be able to help you with this." But now I can't even carry a hammer, let alone help you reforge your weapons. ”

Li Daoxuan nodded, he could also see Akes's aging, and he was not embarrassed...... The main thing is that it is useless to be embarrassed.

If this guy is a little younger, Li Daoxuan will definitely have to embarrass him when he hears this.

Li Daoxuan took the pig-killing knife back, and he did not give up the idea of finding other ways to reforge the knife, but only put the matter aside for the time being.

Then, he remembered the hint given by the panel earlier, and Ax's identity.

He asked tentatively, "Are you...... Three generations of prisoners? ”

When Akers heard this, the trace of vitality that was still in his eyes suddenly disappeared.

He was silent for a moment before he spoke slowly in a more hoarse voice: "You know us?" ”

There was a hint of doubt and wariness in his tone.

Li Daoxuan said bluntly: "I only know that you are prisoners, but I don't know what prisoners are. ”

His gaze was fixed on Ax, trying to find some clues in the other man's expression and tone.

He knew that this truth might be related to the secrets of the entire Death Island and even the entire first-layer world of the Evil Suppression Tower.

Ax was silent for a moment, as if recalling a distant past.

Then, he spoke slowly: "We are prisoners of the Qin State. ”

There was a bit of heaviness and bitterness in his tone.

"Qin State?"

Li Daoxuan was slightly stunned, and then thought of the middle ninth-rate world in the evil suppression tower.

He immediately realized that these prisoners, like the Evil Suppression Tower, came from that mysterious and vast world.

"When the Qin State and the Chu State were at war, the ancestors of our people became traitors. In the end, the Qin State defeated the Chu State, and those of us who abandoned the country naturally became prisoners. ”

Akes's tone was full of bitterness and helplessness, as if telling an unbearable past.

Li Daoxuan nodded in understanding: "That's really how it should be." ”

His tone was calm and unwavering, as if he was just stating a fact.

When Aks heard Li Daoxuan's words, he suddenly sneered, and his smile was full of sarcasm: "Hehe, the descendants of prisoners can also be hereditary like those princes and nobles." ”

His tone revealed injustice and anger at the world.

Li Daoxuan didn't speak, he just looked at Arks quietly, he knew that this old man's heart was full of resentment and unwillingness.

He changed the subject and asked, "Who are those people out there?" ”

"They are our children and grandchildren, and I don't know how many generations they have, and people don't think about these things when they get old."

Akers's tone suddenly became a little confused and lost.

Seeing this, Li Daoxuan didn't ask any more questions, he moved a stone bench and sat down and began to think about the next plan.

He knew that it would not be easy to reforge the Pig Killing Knife, and that he would need to find other methods and resources.

Of course, the main thing is the Amita outside.

If there is a sharp pig-killing knife, cutting those things will naturally be as smooth as chopping melons and vegetables.

"If you are willing to listen to my story, I will give you some of the rare deposits that I have accumulated over the years."

Ax's voice was low and slow, as if telling of a long-forgotten past.

"How?"

Akx's words interrupted Li Daoxuan's thoughts.

Li Daoxuan was slightly stunned, and then a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Oh?"

As soon as he heard that it was profitable, Li Daoxuan immediately became interested, got up and gave up slightly, and even changed his title, "Old man, please speak." ”

Just the blade that he casually created with this Death Island Mine could suppress his own pig-killing knife, so how good would it be that to use the rare mineral deposit that even he regarded as a treasure?

Li Daoxuan suddenly felt a little itchy.

Ax nodded, his gaze seeming to penetrate the stone walls of the cave and look into the distant past.

"You know I'm a prisoner for three generations, but do you know that there's another prisoner on this island?"

He spoke slowly, with a hint of vicissitudes in his voice.

"Generation?"

Li Daoxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart.

If so, how many years did this generation of prisoners have to live?

has been able to live from one generation to the present, and his age is almost comparable to the evil tower.

Akers seemed to see his doubts and explained, "Yes, he is the only one in a generation who has survived until now. I don't know his real name, but every time I see him, he asks me to call him ...... Owner. ”

"The Owner?" Li Daoxuan's heart moved, this name sounded like a big boss-level existence. I don't know what kind of strength and means this island owner has, and he can become the master of this dead island?

Akers nodded and continued, "He is the owner of this Death Island. The owner of the island seems to have been plotting something big, I don't know what it is, but I know that since he started to lay it out...... The island of death is getting more and more desolate. ”

There was a hint of helplessness and sadness in his tone, as if he felt sorry for this once-prosperous island.

Li Daoxuan frowned slightly.

At this moment, Akes's eyes suddenly became deep, as if he had passed through the stone wall of the cave and looked at the world outside.

He said slowly: "I remember how prosperous this island was back then, and the black ships of our dead island passed everywhere, and even the storm zone had to be avoided when coming and going. But now ......"

His voice grew deeper, as if he was lamenting the lost glory.

Li Daoxuan's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered something.

He took out a dead man's money from his bosom, handed it to Axes and asked, "Look at the old man, do you know this thing?" ”

Akers retracted his gaze and landed on the dead man's money in Li Daoxuan's hand.

He was slightly stunned, and then a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and said, "This is the currency of our Death Island, what is there not to know about this?" ”

He was even a little surprised that Li Daoxuan would ask such a question.

Li Daoxuan took a deep breath, and he felt as if he had touched the edge of the truth.

He asked again, "What about this currency......

Before he could finish asking, Ax understood what he meant.

He slowly explained, "This was also founded by the owner of the island. Originally, we bartered the island until the owner created this currency. ”

At the same time, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Li Daoxuan's mind.

He remembered what he had been through since entering this first world, the ghost ships, the dead crew, the dead man's money, and the strange evil things on board...... All the clues are connected at this moment to form a complete picture.

"And those Amitars out there?"

Li Daoxuan asked again.

Ax was silent for a moment, as if recalling those distant pasts.

"That thing...... It is said that it was brought in from one generation to another, and it gradually multiplied on the island. However, they generally do not harm the island's inhabitants. ”

He spoke slowly, as if he was really recalling the past.

"Another generation ......," Lee muttered, feeling that these things seemed to be inextricably linked to that generation.

"Then the only one who can control these Amita now should be the island owner, right?" He continued.

Ax nodded, "Yes, only the owner of the island can control them. He seems to have a close relationship with the generation that brought Amida in, and was able to make these Amidas do his bidding. ”

Li Daoxuan took a deep breath, and had a clearer understanding of the strength of the island master in his heart.

"Then do you know of another evil called the Sea Maiden?" Lee continued to ask, wanting to know more about the island.

Akes was slightly stunned, then nodded slowly, "Sea woman...... That's one of the evils on our island. They are kept in captivity by fishermen and are good at fishing. However, they also have their own consciousness and sometimes rebel against the rule of the fishermen. ”

"That's why I escaped a lot."

Li Daoxuan listened quietly to Akes's narration, and at the same time, his heart was also calculating.

"So the last question, where is the owner?"

Li Daoxuan took a deep breath and asked slowly.

He knew that the answer to this question was crucial to him, and only by finding the owner of the island could he unravel the mystery of all this.

Akes' eyes revealed confusion and helplessness, "I don't know, every time the island owner comes out to see us." He may be on this island, but no one has ever known where the owner is. ”

There was a deep sense of helplessness and powerlessness in his tone.

Li Daoxuan was silent for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.

It was only after a long time that he got up and bowed solemnly to Axes, and thanked, "In that case, thank you to the old man." ”

Akers waved his hand to signal that he was not welcome, "It's okay, it's just that I should thank you." I don't know how many years no one has heard me talk so much. ”

There was a hint of emotion and relief in his words, as if he was glad that someone could listen to his story.

After saying this, Ax casually nodded a few times between the caves, pointed to a few places, and said:

"That, that, and those pieces are all rare deposits that I have collected casually. Originally, I thought of relying on these to create some divine weapons, but I didn't think about ......"

He sighed and didn't continue, but Li Daoxuan could feel the helplessness and regret in his heart.

"These years are making people get old."

Akers finally spoke up, his voice full of vicissitudes and powerlessness, as if he was feeling helpless about the passage of time.

Then he waved his hand casually and said, "I don't have much to do, so I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you." ”

Hearing this, Li Daoxuan glanced at Ark deeply, then nodded solemnly and said, "Thank you old man, I will definitely make good use of these mineral deposits." ”

With that, he walked over to the places pointed out by Ax.

I saw that there were a few pitch-black stones in those places, which had accumulated dust because no one had taken care of them for a long time.

But Li Daoxuan could feel the powerful energy that seemed to be contained in these stones.

He randomly picked the nearest stone and looked down to pick it up, but then a line of text suddenly popped up on the panel.

[People walk in the world, you do death, is the reckless pig killer sure to open the prohibition in the island of death and release this long-sealed sinner? 】

Li Daoxuan had already bent over, and his hands had already stretched out.

But when he saw these words, he was stunned again.

It was only in an instant that he understood something.

"The owner of the island" is just a rumor in the mouth of Akers, what does it matter if he is there or not?

Anyway, he knew it all clearly...... Maybe it's even clearer than the owner.

And his abnormal behavior at the moment also attracted Akes's attention, and he said casually: "It's okay, you can take it all, I won't need it anyway." ”

"By the way, I still have a few notes related to refining, if you are interested, you can also take them."

"In fact, as far as these vulgar utensils you use, there is no need to rely on time to accumulate them, they can be refined directly, and I have figured out a little experience in this."

Ax babbled.

Li Daoxuan also rubbed his hands, and said with a little embarrassment: "Old man, you have a lot of mineral deposits, I want to go out and find my friend to come in and move it together, how about it?" ”

The smile on Akers' face was much less, and he looked at Li Daoxuan's waist.

"Don't you have a Sumeru?"

"I can't fit that much anymore."

The smile on Akes' face was gone, and he looked down at his waist, "It's okay, I still have a Sumeru here, I can give you a piece." ”

The smile on Li Daoxuan's face became more and more, and he said, "I want to leave today, can you stop it?" ”

Akes said seriously: "I won't let you go, can you go?" ”

At this point, see you in the picture!

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, Li Daoxuan didn't play any more chatting, and scolded when he opened his mouth: "You dog, fuck your mother!" ”

Not only was Ax not angry, but he even said seriously: "Mother, someone is looking for you, you come out." ”

After speaking, on the stone wall of this cave, there was immediately a black shadow that continued to solidify, and finally fell off.

Amitabha.

Appeared!

——
