Chapter 145: Lonely Island, Corpse Gas
The dawn of the morning.
A large ship full of people slowly started from the dock where the Drifters once docked, and headed for the sea.
The direction of the boat is very different from the isolated island where Xia Yin and Zhang Rouran used to be.
Xia Yin, Zhang Rouran, Sheng Kui, Geng Shu, Meng Xin, Qian Qi, Tian Buer, Gongsun Xiaolong and other seven people formed a small team and stood on the bow of the boat.
At this time, Xia Yin's face was flat and silent, and his eyes kept scanning the rest of the ship.
There were seven or eight hundred people on the entire ship, of which about a hundred were monks, and the rest were all mortal young men.
Monks and mortals all formed small teams and gathered together to chat.
These people, all recruited in the past few days, all stayed at the Yuelai Inn, and they didn't set off together until this morning.
In the past night, Xia Yin stayed with Shengkui and the other six people, chatting until midnight before returning to their rooms to rest, which made Xia Yin hear a lot about the situation of the Ranxing Islands and the Daming Islands, and gained a lot!
Seungkui clearly regarded himself as the leader of the seven, and seemed to take care of the others.
And Xia Yin and the others also acquiesced to this fact, after all, Sheng Kui was a peak cultivator of the twelfth layer of qi refining, and the other six people, who had cultivated to the highest level of Geng killing, were only ten layers of qi refining, while Meng Xin Qian Qi and the other four were only rookies of the sixth or seventh layer of qi refining.
Zhang Rouran's third-level Qi refining cultivation is the worst in this small team.
And Xia Yin, because he is a body refining cultivator, others don't dare to despise it!
"Shengkui Daoyou, I'm not very familiar with mining, does this silver and iron ore mining need so many people?" Xia Yin asked Shengkui with doubts.
A complicated expression suddenly appeared on Shengkui's face: "How can these hundreds of people be called many, I have seen tens of thousands of people mining mines, that is called ......"
Only halfway through speaking, Shengkui suddenly stopped talking.
Xia Yin, Zhang Rouran, Qian Qi, Meng Xin and other four young people couldn't help but look at Shengkui curiously.
Only Geng Kill didn't seem interested in talking, and a pair of eyes swept around the group of monks on the ship.
However, Shengkui didn't speak for a long time, but the expression on his face was very complicated.
"If I'm not mistaken, Shengkui Daoyou should have also been arrested as a mining slave, right?"
The sudden words made Xia Yin and the others stunned, and looked at Shengkui.
And Sheng Kui actually nodded slightly: "Geng Killing Daoist friends are really as wise as a torch, this is the tragic fate of those of us who have no door and no sect to cultivate! Back then, in the Daming Domain, I was caught by a major sect and sent to the deep-sea coral reef island to be a mining slave, that was in the deep-sea mining, there were tens of thousands of scattered cultivators, hundreds of people were buried at the bottom of the sea every day, and they died in aggrieved conditions, and tens of thousands of mortals died countless people!"
"Then how did you escape?" Xia Yin was full of doubts.
"Later, the ore vein was almost mined, and in order to cover up the scandal of catching Sanxiu and mortals as mining slaves, the gate faction directly blew up this coral reef island and buried tens of thousands of people alive in the deep sea, when the mine collapsed, I was directly stunned by the turbulent air waves, and when I woke up, I found myself floating on the sea, rescued by the Drifting Clan, and I was lucky to pick up a life!"
When talking about this past, Shengkui seemed to be very low, his face was full of fear, and he didn't even dare to mention the name of that sect......
Xia Yin couldn't help frowning slightly, and lowered his voice and said, "Then let's ...... this time."
Sheng Kui also looked serious: "It shouldn't look like it this time, but anything can happen, we still have to be careful, if something happens, remember all the Taoist friends, the seven of us must be twisted into a rope!"
Xia Yin nodded slightly, feeling that he had gained a little more knowledge.
These casual cultivators are really struggling to survive.
Even though he knew that there was a risk, he had to take a risk in order to earn some spirit stones to maintain his cultivation.
In comparison, he and Zhang Rouran are lucky.
Zhang Rouran's Void Spirit Body has all kinds of wonderful uses, and there are many ways to earn spirit stones, even so, he had to take the risk of going to the Fang Market to sell the elixir, and he was almost caught by the bandits of Giant Whale Island.
And because he has the assistance of mysterious shoots, he can give birth to various elixirs, and the demand for spirit stones is not so great, so he doesn't have to take the risk to sell people for the sake of spirit stones, like these scattered cultivators......
Xia Yin decided that when he arrived on the island, if he couldn't continue to hear the news from other people, he and Zhang Rouran would find an excuse to leave, and he didn't have the slightest interest in earning spirit stones......
......
For the next day, Shengkui lobbied around and recruited more than a dozen casual cultivators to join the small team, allowing Xia Yin to get more information about the Land of Rebellion.
However, Xia Yin didn't dare to say it easily, after all, the strength of these loose cultivators was too low, and it was almost impossible to know the solution, and saying it would cause suspicion.
At noon on the third day, in the vast sea ahead, the shadow of an isolated island appeared.
This island looks about the same size as the island where Xia Yin and Zhang Rouran were at the beginning.
"Fellow Daoists, we're almost there!"
Zuo Yao, the triangular-eyed monk who had been in charge of recruiting personnel, reminded in a loud voice with a little excitement.
The hundreds of monks didn't react much.
However, six or seven hundred mortal strong men were already cheering.
After more than two days of sailing, they only ate some dry food, and they didn't sleep well, and they wanted to dock for a long time!
As the big ship slowly approached the island, Xia Yin's face gradually became solemn, and his brows became deeper and deeper......
Xia Yin quietly used his powerful spiritual power, and a sentence sounded directly in Zhang Rouran's soul consciousness: "Be careful, this island is strange, I feel a strange aura coming from the island, similar to demonic energy, but different from demonic energy!"
Only Zhang Rouran could hear this sentence, and in the eyes of others, Xia Yin didn't make any moves at all.
Zhang Rouran approached Xia Yin without a trace, and said in a voice that only Xia Yin could hear: "It's not demonic qi, it's corpse qi!"
Xia Yin's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Zhang Rouran.
Zhang Rouran was able to clearly distinguish that this was corpse qi, obviously thanks to the wonderful use of the Void Spirit Body, and Xia Yin was convinced of this.
"Corpse gas, how can there be such a strong corpse aura on this island?"
Zhang Rouran shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know either.
"Remember, when we get to the island, we have to be more careful, don't be separated from me, if not, be ready to run away at any time, by the way, you have a flying magic weapon, right?"
Zhang Rouran nodded slightly again.
At this time, Shengkui on the side looked at Xia Yin and Zhang Rouran with doubts: "Did the two Daoists find something wrong?"
Xia Yin shook his head slightly.
The look of suspicion on Shengkui's face flashed, but he didn't say anything more.
And Meng Xinqian and the other four were still talking and laughing, and they seemed very relaxed.
Xia Yin found that Geng Kill, who was standing on the edge of the crowd, quietly looked in the direction of the island, and the scar on his face squirmed slightly, and he seemed to be aware of it.
The other newcomers to the team just went around greeting and making new friends, and no one noticed anything unusual.
Xia Yin glanced at Zhang Rouran again, and continued to use his spiritual power: "Once there is a fight, you will take out the black dragon seal and hand it over to me!"
Zhang Rouran nodded slightly without a trace.
At the Yuelai Inn, Xia Yin asked Zhang Rouran to take out the black dragon seal from his storage ring and put it in Zhang Rouran's storage bag.
The Black Dragon Seal, because the dragon soul in it has recognized Xia Yin, and has established a master-servant relationship with Xia Yin, with a trace of spiritual connection, even if there is no mana, you can use the heart and spirit to drive the Black Dragon Seal.
The chicken ribs that he bought at the beginning have now become the only self-defense weapon that Xia Yin can use.
Because he didn't have mana and couldn't take out anything in the storage ring, Xia Yin simply put the black dragon seal on Zhang Rouran's body, and let Zhang Rouran take it out when he used it, which was more convenient.
As for the storage ring and spirit beast ring, Xia Yin had already moved them from his wrist to his arm close to his armpit, and they were hidden by his clothes, otherwise it would be easy for people to find out that a body refining cultivator with no mana had such a high-grade storage ring spirit beast ring......
The big ship slowly approached the shore.
Xia Yin felt that strange aura, and it became more and more intense.
If it weren't for Zhang Rouran's Void Spirit Body, who was born with a deep understanding of all kinds of aura, Xia Yin wouldn't know that this was corpse qi at all, because what he was most familiar with was only demonic qi.
At this time, many monks had already sensed this strong corpse aura.
"Hey, the smell of this island is so weird!"
A middle-aged monk suddenly said in a loud voice.
"Yes, when I got here, I felt distraught!" said another monk.
"No, it's corpse gas, I once smelled it in an abandoned ancient battlefield!" another monk shouted.
"Ah, corpse ......"
Hundreds of monks, as well as six or seven hundred mortals, were all taken aback by the word "corpse qi".
Everyone's eyes were on the triangular-eyed monk in charge of recruiting personnel-Zuo Yao.
However, Zuo Yao's face remained unchanged, and his gaze slowly swept over the crowd: "Don't panic, this isolated island used to be the burial place of a large number of Earth Demon Whales, so there will be corpse gas, we were hunting Earth Demon Whales in the first place, and only then did we discover this small island and the silver and iron veins below!"
Zuo Yao's words really worked.
Most of the monks and mortals were quiet.
The Earth Demon Whale is huge, and it is used to finding a fixed place when it is about to die, and die quietly, if the shallow sea around this isolated island is the burial place of the Earth Demon Whale, it is normal to have corpse qi.
Zhang Rouran leaned half of his body against Xia Yin, and whispered: "This guy is lying, these corpse qi are all emitted by human corpses, and there is also a strong aura of essence and blood, it is definitely not a demon whale corpse!"
Xia Yin's face changed slightly, and his spiritual power poured out, and his voice sounded in Zhang Rouran's soul consciousness.
"Rouran, it seems that the so-called mining of silver and iron ore is just a pretense, let's act when we see the opportunity, and we are ready to run away at any time!"
Zhang Rouran nodded slightly.
Sheng Kui on the side obviously discovered Zhang Rouran and Xia Yin's actions, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Zhang Daoyou, did you find anything abnormal? Since we have decided to advance and retreat together, it is best not to hide anything from everyone!"
Although Xia Yin and Shengkui were facing each other sideways, the powerful spiritual power had already quietly shrouded a small area, and the fleeting change in Shengkui's eyes did not escape Xia Yin's mental power investigation.
For these monks who met halfway, Xia Yin naturally would not lose his vigilance, and Shengkui's behavior of making friends everywhere during this time also made Xia Yin feel a little wary.
"Hehe, Daoyou laughed, my sister and I are discussing how long we are going to work here!"
Sheng Kui smiled and nodded: "I see, it's Sheng Mou's heart!"
At the moment of speaking, the big ship had quietly docked......
