Chapter 84 Remuneration
In the darkness of the night, the vision in the sky was particularly conspicuous, and almost everyone on the big ship saw it, but no one knew what it was, just watched the dazzling sword fly in the direction of the Demon Island, could it be the rescue sent by the Ling Xiao Sect?
Although everyone's eyes subconsciously followed the sword in the sky, it was obviously unrealistic to turn the bow of the ship back to Demon Island at this moment, so after spending an extraordinarily long voyage tonight, the big ship returned to Qingyu Island with a hint of embarrassment.
As soon as the big ship stopped, Zeng Zhibai, who was on the boat, jumped off the deck impatiently, and quickly swept in the direction of the herring fish set, obviously in a hurry to tell Wang Gan and ask him to go out to the demon island to save Gan Ze and Niu Xiong who were in danger, as for the third person Lin Hu who was in danger, Zeng Zhibai even if he had a good temper, at this moment, he couldn't wait for this guy to simply die in the demon hunting cave.
And the group of Qi Refining Realm disciples who were left behind on the deck looked at each other, when they were delayed on the Demon Island earlier, everyone's lives were in danger, and they were all filled with righteous indignation, but at this time, once they really returned to Qingyu Island safely, they seemed to have some indescribable feelings in their hearts, and the joy of returning safely did not seem to be very strong, but many people frowned, and looked back in the direction of the distant Demon Island from time to time.
In the night, everyone was silent, and finally they all got off the boat in silence, and then dispersed in the middle of the night. Shen Shi carefully held his harvest, a large bag of turtle eggs and an iron-armored armadillo's bone armor, and after taking a look around, he also walked towards the direction of Baiyuwan with an expressionless face.
The night was deep, and the island seemed to have fallen into a quiet sleep, but after a while, a dazzling light suddenly rose above the herring island, soaring straight into the sky, and after a slight turn in the sky like lightning piercing the sky, it was extremely swift and galloped away in the direction of the demon island.
Baiyu Bay at night is beautiful and quiet, only the sound of waves crashing on the beach can be heard in the night breeze in the distance, Shen Shi quietly carried a large bag of things back to his cave, when the stone gate was closed behind him under the urging of the cloud rune, and finally completely separated the outside world, somehow, Shen Shi suddenly had a feeling of relaxation that he had never felt before, like ...... Back to a real haven, back to a home.
He stood in place for a long time, then let out a long breath, walked to the stone shelf on the side of the room, carefully placed the turtle eggs and armadillo bone armor, and then sat back on the edge of the bed, and after being silent for a while, he shook his head, picked up a spirit crystal and began his daily routine of cultivation.
※※※
One night passed, and the sun shone back on the paradise of herring fish.
Shen Shi didn't go out as early today as he usually did, even though he had fully recovered after last night's cultivation and didn't feel tired at all. However, he didn't want to go out, but someone still took the initiative to find him, and a few knocking sounds came from the stone gate.
Shen Shi walked over and opened the stone door in some surprise, and saw Sun You standing outside the door with a smile.
Shen Shi was a little surprised, and said, "Shouldn't you go to the beast farm to do things at this time on weekdays?"
Sun You waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay to be late." But what happened on the Demon Island last night, I heard that Gan Ze's kid was in danger there? Tell me about it!"
Shen Shi was startled and said, "How did you know about this so quickly?"
Sun You sneered and said, "Is it okay for more than 20 people to go to the Demon Island with you in a boat yesterday, plus what is Ganze's identity, such a big thing has spread all over the morning, I remember that you are also going to the Demon Island these days, so I hurriedly came over to ask." ”
"Hmm......" Shen Shi pondered for a moment, and did not hide it, and told Sun You what he saw and heard yesterday, Sun You nodded slightly after hearing it, and then laughed, and said, "I seem to have a little impression of the senior brother named Lin Hu, although it is a personal senior brother who cultivated to the Ning Yuan Realm in his early years, I heard that the popularity among the personal disciples is very poor. ”
Saying that, he glanced at the stone door that had not been closed after he came in, approached Shen Shi and lowered his voice a little, and said, "I heard that he did something wrong three years ago and angered Senior Brother Wang Gan, so he was punished from the island to the side of the demon island on duty." ”
Shen Shi didn't expect that there would be such twists and turns in the middle, thought for a while, frowned, and said, "Three years ago, wasn't that when we first entered the island?"
Sun You nodded and said, "Yes, but I don't know what this Senior Brother Lin has done, and why it angered Senior Brother Wang Gan." If you want me to say, according to what you just said, he desperately slammed Ganze's kid, I'm afraid he also wants to climb the big tree of the Gan family. ”
Shen Shi was silent, and felt a little silent in his heart for that Senior Brother Lin Hu, this big tree didn't climb and didn't say anything, but Gan Ze's distress on Demon Island was obvious, if the Gan family was investigated in the future, I am afraid that there would be no good fruit for Lin Hu to eat.
But these things are the troubles of these famous families, and they have nothing to do with themselves and others, at most they are just a little curious. Shen Shi quickly put these things behind, said hello to Sun You, and then packed up yesterday's spoils and prepared to go to the Qingyu Market to exchange spirit crystals.
Sun You was nothing, but when he saw him pick up an armadillo bone armor, he canceled that his harvest this time was twice as small as the last time, but then he saw Shen Shi come out with a large bag of white turtle eggs, and his eyes suddenly widened.
He has been working in the beast field for several years, of course, he knows that the spirit beast hall beast field here is usually about buying turtle eggs from the disciples who go to the demon island, and he also knows that a turtle egg can be exchanged for a spirit crystal, this big bag of turtle eggs slowly, made him stammer: "No, no, am I wrong, these are all turtle eggs of the black-striped turtle?"
Shen Shi smiled and said, "Exactly." ”
"Oh, I'll go!" Sun You rushed over and looked left and right with the big bag, with a bit of incredulity, and said, "How did you get so many eggs?"
Shen Shi told him about the fact that the iron-armored armadillo was digging eggs on the beach yesterday and was discovered by him, Sun You also shook his head, and said with envy on his face: "You kid, your luck is too good." ”
Shen Shi smiled, lifted the big bag of turtle eggs, and said with a smile: "Let's go, I just want to go to your beast farm when I turn around, and exchange these turtle eggs for spirit crystals." ”
Sun You's mouth was full of slurps, and at the same time, he made up his mind to say that he would continue to practice the fireball technique from today onwards, and go to the Demon Island to fight side by side with Shen Shi as soon as possible.
Shen Shi smiled and said, "I also do it occasionally, and I only harvest three or four spirit crystals at most on weekdays, and I have to risk being injured by demon beasts, how can it compare to the comfort of you in the beast field." ”
Sun You shook his head, just muttering something in his mouth.
The two went out together to the herring fish market, Shen Shi first went to the Qitang shop to exchange an armadillo bone armor for two spirit crystals, and then went to the beast farm with Sun You, and under the guidance of Sun You's familiarity, he also successfully exchanged the twenty-one turtle eggs back for twenty-one spirit crystals.
After saying goodbye to Sun You, who was reluctant to give up but was forced to do things, Shen Shi walked all the way back to Qingyuji, at this moment he was carrying twenty-three spirit crystals, plus a few more in the Baiyuwan Cave Mansion, quite a bit of a feeling of getting rich overnight, only feeling that he was a little light when he walked.
But fortunately, he was still cautious after all, and while he was happy, he quickly controlled himself, and after a while of muttering on the streets of Qingyuji, he walked to the dock on the south side of the island.
At this time on weekdays, there should be many Qi Refining Realm disciples who took the big ship here to the demon island to do a demon hunting mission, but when Shen Shi came to the dock, he found that the big ship was still docked at the seaside, and the dock was empty, and there was no one, which was quite lonely.
Shen Shi walked over and looked around, and soon found that there was a wooden sign erected on the side of the stone embankment in front of him, with a blank piece of paper pasted on it, and he walked over to take a closer look, and sure enough, it was written on the paper that the matter of the demon island had been suspended recently, and all the junior disciples were able to cultivate with peace of mind, and they would be notified separately on the day of reopening.
Shen Shi glanced at the big ship, shook his head slightly, and then turned to leave.
※※※
Back to the herring fish set, I only felt that I was suddenly a little at a loss, three years on this island, he was almost every day non-stop in order to earn spirit crystals, from peeling shrimp in Hongbang Village to now going to the demon island to hunt demons, there is no background door, he can't receive those stable and high-quality tasks on the island, he can only work hard, every day is to do things and practice, every day seems to repeat yesterday, it is rare to have this kind of leisurely time.
He wandered around the streets for a while, remembering when he found a large pile of turtle eggs on the demon island yesterday, and at that time, he especially wanted to have a magic weapon that could easily hold all the harvest, even if it was a low-level thing that could only be used in the Qi Refining Realm.
After hesitating for a while, Shen Shi finally made up his mind and walked towards the Qitang shop.
The two times before and after he peddled the bone armor of the iron armor armadillo were in this place, so he was also familiar with the door, including a senior brother Ji Liangcai Ji who received him twice in the shop.
Ji Liangcai's name is Liangcai, but the talent root bone seems to be a little unworthy of this name, he has been cultivating on this Qingyu Island for more than eight years, and he has barely cultivated to the high level of the Qi Refining Realm, and seeing that he is still far away from the big threshold of the Ning Yuan Realm, he will naturally be a little discouraged. However, on weekdays, he is quite easy-going, and the attitude of receiving some new junior disciples is also good, and he can't cultivate himself, but I heard that there are some highly talented wizards in this round of newcomers, and if he doesn't do it well in the future, he will be a famous figure in the world, although there is little hope, but if he can form a good fate now, it is also good.
So when he saw that Senior Brother Shen Shi, who had received him this morning, walked in front of him again, although he was a little surprised in his heart, he still smiled gently: "What's the matter, Senior Brother Shen, could it be that after a while, have you hunted another piece of iron-armored armadillo bone armor?"
