After inspecting the island, Yan Cui 'Yu' took Xu Dong to the next island, her sea-crossing tool was a long, flat magic weapon, which automatically expanded into a raft as soon as it touched the water.

Xu Dong remembered that those sharks did not need rafts to communicate between the islands, because they were originally aquatic tribes, and only after they evolved later could they walk on land and become amphibians, but swimming in the water is still their old job.

"Emerald 'jade'. "Since Yan Cui 'Jade' first called his name, he was not polite, and calling him by his name was also a means for human beings to get closer, "When these mermaids captured Luoguo'er Island, they took advantage of being a water tribe, and they could go to the island when they entered, and they could go to the sea when they retreated, and you ...... How to pursue them and conquer them, and make them willing to be your subjects? ”

Yan Cui 'jade' smiled, pointed to the magic weapon in the water and said, "My magic weapon is called 'Bilongju', although it can't catch up with your immeasurable immortal monarch's Qiankun seal, but it is also a rare treasure, take it to enter and exit the deep sea, even the trench that the merman can't go to, I can also go, so I subdued them." ”

"Really. ”

"If you don't believe me, come up and go with me into the depths of the sea. ”

Xu Dong followed Yan Cui 'Jade' to sit on the top of the "Bilongju", Yan Cui 'Jade' asked him to sit upright, and closed his eyes when the "Bilongju" started, Xu Dong only heard the sound of rushing water in his ears, and the person fell rapidly with the "Bilongju", and his hair stood up like aquatic plants, and after a moment, he estimated that he had gone down to the bottom of the sea hundreds of zhang deep.

"Alright, you can now open your eyes and see what's in the depths. ”

Xu Dong listened to Yan Cui's 'jade' words, and quickly opened his eyes, and could see that this was a deep sea basin, and they had only reached the edge of this sea basin, but they could see that there were dozens of black 'colored' seagrass at the bottom of the basin, and a huge clam shell was hidden in the seagrass, and between the opening and closing of these mussel shells, Xu Dong saw many pearls shining in it.

"Ha, so many pearls, emerald 'jade', I know why you have those pearls in your Asgard, it turns out that you collected them from here. ”

Yan Cui's 'jade' smiled again, "This sea basin is rich in pearls, but because it is too deep, ordinary water tribes can't come here, and occasionally two strange beasts from the open sea pass by here, so I turned this place into my own control area, and don't let those foreign beasts enter and leave the sea basin casually." ”

Xu Dong saw that there were many boundary pillars erected around the basin, which effectively surrounded the basin, and there was a boundary monument made of white 'jade' on the side, Xu Dong could see that there was a line of words engraved on the boundary monument, but because the age was too long, the line of handwriting was soaked in the sea water for a long time, and it became a little blurred, and he opened the "eye of heaven" in Zifu to barely see the gist of this line of handwriting: This is the pearl field of the 'female' Zhenguo, and all foreign people and beasts must not enter.

"Haha, you're too 'tough', you can actually take this sea basin for yourself. ”

"What's so strange about that. Yan Cui 'jade' said, "All the resources in this world are for the strong, you Xu Dong has only debuted for a few years, and you are really a 'hairy' baby whose 'milk' has not dried up, do you have fewer resources in your hands than mine." ”

Xu Dong was stopped by her words, yes, he has only entered the threshold of cultivation 'gate' for a few years, and he has the dual titles of Emperor Luotuo and Infinite Immortal Monarch, and it took less than two years to unify the Martial Continent, and now he is thinking about opening up to the Infinite Sea, this momentum is unimaginable to ordinary people.

"But I must warn you. Yan Cui's 'jade' suddenly said, "On the foundation, my Yan Cui's 'jade' is stronger than your Xu Dong's, you are a veritable nouveau riche, things in this world are often gained quickly and lost quickly, if you are willing to listen to my advice once, I advise you to lay a solid foundation for yourself." ”

Next, a sentence came out of her mouth, "The life of a man is also weak, and his death is strong, and the life of plants and trees is also brittle, and his death is also withered, so the strong are the dead, and the weak are born, and the strong are destroyed, and the strong are broken, and the strong are below, and the weak are above." ”

Xu Dong couldn't help but be stunned, he understood the meaning of Yan Cui's 'jade', which was to let him temporarily stop fighting the Infinite Sea and calm down and cultivate his own practice.

"In your opinion, it is much more difficult to conquer the islands of the immeasurable sea than it is to conquer the countries of the continent. ”

Yan Cui 'jade' said, "This is beyond doubt, after thousands of years of changes, the power on land has been transferred to the sea, and there are some island countries themselves with deep vitality, which can be said to be impregnable barriers, you think, even my small Luoguo'er Island is not easy for you to get, how easy to conquer those stronger island countries." ”

Without waiting for Xu Dong to answer, she knotted the Dharma Seal in her hand to drive the "Bilongju" to float upward, "Let's go, let's go back to Luoguo'er Island now, and take you to inspect the other islands of the 'Nu' Zhen Kingdom,"

Xu Dong landed on the island with Yan Cui's 'jade', and like the first island, there was an exit to a 'cave' on the edge of a cliff on the shore of the island, and the two followed each other into the cave.

Almost the same scene as seen on the first island, in a relatively large stone room, dozens of mermaids meditated on the ground to listen to Huang Fengyan's preaching, and as soon as they saw their king Yan Cui 'jade', the mermaids hurriedly bowed as if they were 'shooting' in the language of the merman clan.

After Yan Cui 'Yu' let her subjects level down, she walked up to Huang Fengyan, "Are you doing well, have you been treated unfairly, please report the situation truthfully to your island master, so that your island master can accompany me to cultivate with peace of mind." ”

Huang Fengyan nodded, and said to Xu Dong, "Island master, I originally thought wrongly, I thought that these sharks were as savage as those legendary sharks, and I was worried that they would devour me alive, but the result was completely opposite to what I imagined, they were simply too polite to me, I said island master, don't worry about me and the Xing 'Gate' master, you can do whatever you have to do, as long as the island owner is happy, we will also take our hearts back into our stomachs." ”

Xu Dong thought, how did Huang Fengyan learn to be poor, listening to his words, it was as if he and Yan Cui 'Yu' were going to do something beautiful, too, lonely men and widows and 'women' were in the same room, nominally it was cultivation, and when no one dared to disturb it, what could not be done in such a free world.

He whispered to Huang Fengyan, "Senior Huang, you think too much, I am just a guest in the king's immortal palace, and I haven't done anything to transgress the courtesy, you control your mouth, and be careful to slander other people's reputations and be punished." ”

"Hahaha. Huang Fengyan laughed heartily and laughed at what he had just said, "Island Master, to be honest, I'm still a little happy to live in this fairyland-like place." ”

Among the five islands that he inspected next, Xu Dong left a deep impression on Island 5 and Island 7, no, it was not just a deep impression, it was simply surprising to him, allowing him to see the other side of this island country that was completely underground, rich, powerful, extraordinary, and shocking.

There is only one 'cave' on the other islands, and there are less than a hundred merman people, and the fifth and seventh islands are the lifeblood of the island nation, and most of the wealth and military power are located on these two islands.

Island No. 5 is called Fortune Island, and almost the entire underground of the island has been opened, and there are more than 10 "hole" houses that are used as warehouses alone.

Needless to say, most of these pearls are produced in the pearl fields of the deep sea basin, Xu Dong has inspected with this Yan Cui 'jade' before, some warehouses store gems, some warehouses store all kinds of beautiful 'jade', and some are special 'doors' to store agate and 'chicken' bloodstone, Xu Dong just followed Yan Cui's 'jade' behind and looked at the 'flowers', and did not see the specific situation clearly, so he was also stunned, and he never closed his mouth during the visit.

"Emerald 'jade', I know where those pearls come from, but the provenance of these gems, agate, 'chicken' bloodstone and so on is suspicious and 'confusing', your territory is so big, in addition to stones or stones on the island, where are these things produced, you plundered them from the outside." ”

Yan Cui's 'jade' was displeased when she heard his words, "Who said that I don't produce these things here, don't jump to conclusions if you still have to see the whole thing, okay...... Follow me. ”

She took Xu Dong along an underground passage to go inside, there were a lot of people coming and going on this road, most of them were men, Xu Dong was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, these are real men, not the resident mermaids of Luoguo'er Island, and it is difficult to think about where these men were captured.

These people are carrying something outside, each of them has a basket on their shoulders, from the analysis of their weight-bearing appearance, the things in the basket must be very heavy, it is estimated that it is ore or something, and later Xu Dong's conjecture was confirmed, and sure enough, these are some miners.

"There is a very large vein hidden under this island, and there are several islands that we have just inspected, which used to be rich mines, and I have only closed them for the last two hundred years, and the warehouses are stored with the things that have been mined from those mines. ”

Xu Dong "oh" and swirled in his mind, "If I'm not wrong, your 'Jie' people came to these mineral deposits at the beginning, and the reason why this island is easy to attract heavenly thunder is probably related to the mineral veins hidden under it. ”

Yan Cui 'Jade' sighed, "Alas, you are right, but before the mining of the ore vein, this island has never seen the thunder, it may be that the mining vein has destroyed the original magnetic field structure, or there is a special thing in the body of the man of our 'Jie' nationality, with the pulse qi on this island, it has frequently attracted the favor of the heavenly thunder, in short, this matter has become an unsolved mystery." ”

Xu Dong didn't want to continue such a heavy topic, he remembered something, and asked, "Are these miners your prisoners or what, they seem to work hard, talk less and do more things......

Yan Cui 'Jade' interrupted him, "You want to do it again, the miners are all hired by me at a high price, and I continue to increase their remuneration, from the original five or six points to seven or eight points, and now it has risen to one percent profit, and I am not thin on them." ”

"Oh. "Xu Dong finally 'figured' it, because these men are based on their own mining commissions, so try to extract as many mineral deposits as possible, so that their income will increase, but he can't think of how so many men were recruited by Yan Cui's 'jade', and there are also problems with 'traffic', it's not a little road from the mainland to the island chain, is it ......

"Cui'yu, I want to ask the last question, did you build a large teleportation array from the mainland to here, and did you build this teleportation array yourself? ”
