Chapter 167
byHalf a month after leaving Yunxia Island, the big ship seemed to have lost its way. Yu Xiuping was so anxious that blisters appeared on the corners of his mouth. He was in charge of the turtle shell and was responsible for leading people to that hidden island. It could be said that the lives of all the people on the ship were in his hands and he had a heavy responsibility. But now he couldn’t find the correct travel route.
In a bad mood and impatient, he could no longer treat Miao Lin with the same calmness as before. Yang Kai often saw him yelling at Miao Lin on the deck, pressing him for the information he knew. Naturally, Miao Lin didn’t dare to hide anything and told everything he knew.
The attacks of the sea monsters were also becoming more and more frequent and fierce. The two grand elders of Yunxia Sect had participated in the battles several times. If it weren’t for their actions, this large ship might have already been smashed into pieces by the sea monsters.
Even so, Yunxia Sect also suffered heavy losses. More than a dozen of the fifty disciples brought here had died, and only half of the more than seventy ordinary people were left at this moment. The other half had all been thrown into the sea by Yunxia Sect at critical moments to attract the attention of the sea monsters.
On this ship, as long as one got sick, it was equivalent to being abandoned.
Yang Kai finally saw what was meant by being cruel and ruthless. Facing those ordinary people who had no power to resist, when they were crying and pleading continuously, the martial artists of Yunxia Sect threw them into the sharp teeth of the sea monsters in the sea like throwing livestock, just to delay a little time.
Human life here was as worthless as grass.
The remaining ordinary people lived in fear and anxiety every day.
Three more days passed, and the number of people on the ship became even fewer. But the large ship seemed to be turned in a sea area and could never find the correct position of the hidden island.
Miao Lin was slapped several times by the angry Yu Xiuping, until his mouth was full of blood, but he didn’t dare to have the slightest complaint.
One day, when the night left and the sun rose in the east, Yang Kai, who was resting at the bottom of the cabin, suddenly heard a surprised shout from the deck： “Hidden Island, Hidden Island！”
This shout was filled with the joy and excitement of being reborn from a desperate situation. It almost entered everyone’s ears.
Deng deng deng…
All the martial artists of Yunxia Sect took action and rushed towards the deck in a hurry. The same was true for those ordinary people. Yang Kai followed the crowd onto the deck. Looking up, his expression couldn’t help but brighten.
Under the rising sun, several hundred zhang in front of the big ship, there was a virtual and ethereal scene suspended in mid-air.
It was a scene like a paradise on earth, with high mountains and flowing waters, lofty mountains and high mountains flocks of birds flying overhead, and the sound of gurgling mountain springs seemed to be heard in the ears. The scenery was beautiful and enchanting, and everywhere exuded an otherworldly atmosphere.
It was like a treasure land that had not been set foot on for thousands of years. Many rare flowers and plants, and peerless spiritual medicines were fluttering in the wind and growing vigorously. It was a lush and fragrant place.
There were also many animals whose names could not be called flashing past everyone’s eyes, and even a string of colorful glows were brought out during the running.
Mirage！
Yang Kai had once been fortunate enough to see such a beautiful scene in Haicheng before. Now seeing it again, he naturally recognized it at a glance.
It is rumored that the scenery that appears in the mirage really exists. It’s just that due to some special reasons, it is refracted thousands of miles away and seen by the world.
But the mirage seen this time is a little different from the one seen last time, because it is too real. So real that it seems within reach, so real that it seems right in front of oneself.
Yu Xiuping was emotional, holding the huge turtle shell in both hands and looking at it carefully. Suddenly, he burst out laughing： “I understand, I understand！ When the mirage appears, it is the time to enter the island. No wonder it was impossible to find it everywhere. So that’s it！”
The two Taishang Elders of Yunxia Sect were also a little emotional at this moment. The old man Ding Jiazi asked: Xiuping, what is the situation now?
The old woman Huo Xianglan also cast her gaze over.
Yu Xiuping didn’t dare to be negligent. With an excited smile on his face, he said respectfully： “Reporting to the two Martial Uncles, I think we have arrived at the location of Hidden Island.”
“Where?” A flash of polished light appeared in the seemingly turbid eyes of Huo Xianglan.
Yu Xiuping pointed to the mirage in front and said： “Right there！”
After saying that, he quickly handed the tortoise shell in his hand to the two Supreme Elders. “Please, two Martial Uncles, pour Yuan Qi into this Island Guide. With the assistance of this Island Guide, we can open the door to the island！”
Ding Jiazi and Huo Xianglan looked at each other and didn’t hesitate. They jointly took the huge tortoise shell and then circulated their Yuan Qi, violently pouring it into the tortoise shell.
This tortoise shell may seem ordinary, but it is actually quite remarkable. Usually, no matter how others probed, they couldn’t feel any abnormality. But at this moment, when Ding Jiazi and Huo Xianglan poured Yuan Qi into it, they suddenly discovered that this tortoise shell had become a bottomless pit, devouring their True Yuan frantically.
In just a short while, the two extremely old Supreme Elders were already somewhat shaky, and their complexions turned pale.
“Not good！” Ding Jiazi exclaimed and shouted at the martial artists of Yunxia Sect. “What are you all looking at? Come and help me at once！”
Upon hearing this, the martial artists of Yunxia Sect hurriedly all rushed over and poured their own Yuan Qi into the tortoise shell.
With the assistance of these people, Ding Jiazi and Huo Xianglan were able to hold their ground. Not long after, the seemingly ordinary tortoise shell suddenly shone with streaks of rainbow light, and a murmur seemed to ring inside the tortoise shell. The road map engraved on it also seemed to come alive flowing continuously.
One martial artist after another had their entire body’s vitality drained and retreated in exhaustion.
It was only after more than twenty martial artists from Yunxia Sect had taken turns going up that the turtle shell seemed full, and the rainbow light shooting out from the turtle shell was as dazzling as the bright sun.
Suddenly, Ding Jiazi and Huo Xianglan simultaneously let out exclamations, and a cloud of hazy light burst out from the turtle shell, causing the two to have to retreat.
The turtle shell turned into a stream of light and soared into the sky.
Two martial uncles！” Yu Xiuping was greatly shocked. Ding Jiazi and Huo Xianglan steadied their feet, their faces a little pale, but they waved their hands to indicate that they were fine.”
Everyone looked up and saw that the turtle shell flew hundreds of zhang and landed right on the mirage. As one rainbow light after another shot out, this magnificent mirage actually slowly disintegrated.
With the disappearance of the mirage, as if an invisible barrier had been broken, in everyone’s field of vision, an island much larger than Yunxia Island appeared without warning.
Hidden Island！” Yu Xiuping’s voice was trembling.”
On the ship, after a moment of silence, the martial artists of Yunxia Sect suddenly cheered and shouted loudly, venting the excitement in their hearts. The purpose of their trip this time was to search for Hidden Island, and they didn’t expect things to be so smooth. Although they also experienced many crises on the way, they were also safe and sound.
Now, Hidden Island is right in front of them. Rising to great heights and becoming famous all over the world are just around the corner！
Not only were the martial artists of Yunxia Sect excited, but also those ordinary people were extremely excited. They had heard more or less about the rumors of Hidden Island. But who could have thought that they would see it with their own eyes in their lifetime？
“Set sail！ The target is Hidden Island！” Yu Xiuping suppressed the joy in his heart and gave various orders in an orderly manner.
However, before the people on the ship could take their positions, an extremely uneasy feeling rose in everyone’s hearts. The originally calm sea surface suddenly had some waves, and bubbles emerged from the sea water beside the ship, with the appearance of boiling.
“What’s wrong？” someone asked in panic.
Ding Jiazi and Huo Xianglan had solemn expressions, and their spiritual consciousness spread out. Their expressions suddenly changed, and they simultaneously exclaimed： “Be careful！”
Before the words fell, a huge wave surged up on the left side of the large ship, and something that looked like a tentacle suddenly stretched out from under the sea. That tentacle was extremely huge, more than ten zhang long, and with the force of thunderbolts, it directly hit the deck of the large ship.
Several ordinary people who were too late to dodge were instantly turned into minced meat on the spot.
Accompanied by a loud bang, the deck turned into pieces and scattered in all directions.
Under the leadership of the two Supreme Elders, the martial artists of Yunxia Sect all attacked the tentacle. For a while, all kinds of martial arts skills and weapons filled the sky.
But no matter what kind of attack, hitting the tentacle couldn’t damage it at all. Even the means of the two Supreme Elders couldn’t do anything about it.
“Hua…”
On the other side of the big ship, another tentacle rose into the air and slammed down hard. This blow hit the bow of the ship, and the stern of the ship more than twenty zhang long up.
The violent shaking made everyone unable to stand firmly. The experts above the True Yuan Realm used their True Yuan to fly into the air, and the other martial artists and ordinary people fled in a panic like a bereaved dog.
“Steady, all of you, steady！” Yu Xiuping shouted at the top of his voice, but how could he calm people’s hearts？
Hua hua hua…
Seven or eight tentacles simultaneously extended from the sea and directly from the big ship dragging the big ship to the bottom of the sea. The great power came, and everyone could feel that they were sinking rapidly.
“It must be the island-protecting monster beast！” Ding Jiazi’s face was horrified when he saw this scene. The strength of this island-protecting monster beast exceeded his imagination, and he simply couldn’t deal with it with his means. Immediately, he greeted Huo Xianglan： “You and I will take action together to see if we can drive it away！”
Huo Xianglan nodded with a serious expression. Before she could make a move, her eyes widened and she exclaimed to Ding Jiazi, “Senior Brother Ding, behind you！”
Ding Jiazi looked is astonished. He only felt a gust of wind from behind and then his back was severely slapped. His whole body was like being struck by lightning. He spat out a mouthful of blood with a wow sound and fell into the sea like a falling meteor.
Before he could fall into the sea, another tentacle protruded from the sea and accurately encircled him.
Ding Jiazi let out a terrifying shrill cry. The sound of snapping bone fractures could be heard from his body. He desperately drives true essence, but still couldn’t get rid of it. He stretched out one hand towards Huo Xianglan from a distance and shouted sorrowful, “Sister Lan, save me…”
The two grand elders of Yunxia Sect had a sinful relationship when they were young. They loved each other to death and even became husband and wife. But later, for some unknown reason, the two of them were no longer as intimate as before. Although they still had contacts in private they were no longer as harmonious as they were at the beginning.
Now, in the face of Ding Jiazi’s for help Huo Xianglan was actually stunned. Then she unfolds her body skills and rushed towards Hidden Island without looking back.
This monster beast could severely wound Ding Jiazi with a single move. Naturally, it was not something she could handle！
To protect her own life, how could Huo Xianglan dare to stay here any longer？ She couldn’t care about Ding Jiazi anymore, nor could she care about the warriors of Yunxia Sect on the entire ship. Currently, the most important thing was just to save her own life.
Ding Jiazi let out a shrill and miserable laugh： “Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, when disaster strikes, they each fly away. Bitch！”
