Killing God

On May [-]th, it was sunny. .

It was nearly June, the dawn was getting earlier and earlier, and Herring Island was getting hotter and hotter every day, but this little heat didn't feel much to the majority of Lingxiaozong disciples on the island who had practiced at a small level.

Shen Shi went out early in the morning, and under the fresh sea breeze, he walked all the way to the wharf on the south side of Qingyu Island, ready to take the boat to Yao Island.

During the period when Yaodao was temporarily closed, although Shen Shi couldn't be said to be doing nothing, his income was still greatly affected, including the deal with Zhong Qinglu, and he couldn't make up a third share these days. The spirit crystal, but it made him sometimes regret buying the little wishful ring that he was wearing on his left hand at the moment.

But fortunately, this embarrassing time has finally passed. At this moment, he has the urge to go hunting on Yao Island. In addition to absorbing spirit crystal homework, water archery is also practiced every day. The speed of using the mysterious spiritual power between the eyebrows to cast water archery is still the same. It takes three breaths. Presumably this is an insurmountable barrier. However, this casting speed is already faster than most people imagined, at least for the moment on Yao Island, it should be enough.

In addition, he did not lose the other normal spiritual power in the Qi veins in his body. Although it is very difficult for these spiritual power scattered in the Qi veins to cast the Five Elements spell, all monks in the world are like this, After training, it is also possible to release the same spell.After persistent practice, Shen Shi gradually became familiar with this difficult method. Now, the time required to use the normal spiritual power in his body to stimulate the water archery has progressed from the originally very long ten breaths to... nine breaths .

Basically, it is useless. In a battle with monsters, ten breaths is long enough for monsters to bite your throat, and nine breaths is obviously the same end.

When the morning sun on the sea level in the distance fell on the big ship on the pier, Shen Shi had already arrived here, but it was different from what he imagined, the pier was deserted at the moment, and there was no one, only the big ship Moored alone by the sea.

Shen Shi turned his eyes around, feeling a little bit apprehensive for a moment, could it be that he heard the wrong news, today is not the day when Yaodao reopens?At this time in the past, there were more than twenty senior brothers and sisters in the Qi Refining Realm who were waiting to board the boat at the pier. How come no one has been seen today?

He wandered around here for a while, but still no one came. Just when Shen Shi himself thought that the news might be wrong, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps coming from behind.

Shen Shi was refreshed, and turned his head to look quickly, only to see a figure walking to the pier. It was a familiar face, but it was someone Shen Shi never expected to see today.

It is Gan Ze.

I haven't seen him for a while, this noble son from an ancient family is obviously much more haggard than the last time I saw him, there is a gloomy look hidden in the silence between his brows, even from the outside, it can be seen that there seems to be something in his heart The heavy burden weighed on his heart, making him frown.

And when Gan Ze came close and looked around, he was obviously taken aback by the desolation near the pier. Finally, his eyes fell on Shen Shi. The two teenagers looked at each other. After a while, Shen Shi looked at each other. He nodded, smiled, and said:

"Morning."

Gan Ze was stunned for a moment, and then he showed a smile, although perhaps because of his heavy heart, his smile was a bit far-fetched, and said: "Morning, uh, isn't today the day when Yaodao reopens? Why is there no one here? No?"

Shen Shi was silent, glanced at him, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Gan Ze waited for a while, then suddenly realized, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, and said: "I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean that you are not human... Whenever I go to Yaodao on weekdays, there are many senior brothers and sisters here Yes, I was surprised just now, so I said the wrong thing."

Shen Shi waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I just arrived not long ago, and what I saw was the same scene, I don't know what happened."

Gan Ze frowned, and when he was about to say something, suddenly both of them heard movement from the big ship at the same time, turned their heads and saw two figures appear on the deck, and then walked down.

These two people seem to be Yuan Condensing Realm disciples in their early 20s, one of them is Zeng Zhibai who was on duty in Demon Island in the past, and there is another person beside him, a woman, when Shen Shi's eyes fell on her, At that time, he was stunned, and saw that this woman had a beautiful face, and she was actually the Xu Yanzhi whom she had seen in the Five Elements Hall back then.

The two went down side by side, their eyes swept over the empty pier, their faces remained unchanged, only when they saw the two teenagers standing there, one of them was Gan Ze, there seemed to be a little bit in their expressions. Very surprised.

As juniors, Shen Shi and Gan Ze greeted them. Shen Shi was a little surprised, and said: "Senior sister Xu, why did you come here? Besides, isn't the wharf here reopened today? Why is it so deserted?" ?”

Xu Yanzhi also seemed to have some impressions of Shen Shi, nodded to him with a smile, and said: "Yes, today is indeed the day when the Demon Island reopens. As for not being able to see anyone, this..."

She turned her head and glanced at Zeng Zhibo, Zeng Zhibo looked at the sky, sighed and said, "It's time, it should be just the two of them."

Xu Yanzhi nodded and said, "Just get on the boat."

Shen Shi and Gan Ze looked at each other, with countless questions in their minds, but they followed the two into the big boat and stood on the deck, but Xu Yanzhi and Zeng Zhibai did not rush to sail immediately, but called them over, Xu Yanzhi first took a deep look at Gan Ze, and then said:

"My name is Xu Yanzhi. Senior brother Wang Gen transferred me to work here on Yaodao. Something happened a while ago, and Yaodao was temporarily closed. I think you all know about it." Hearing this, Gan Ze's face turned pale. Slightly froze, slowly lowered his head, both Xu Yanzhi and Zeng Zhibai glanced at his figure, and at the same time only heard Xu Yanzhi speak slowly, saying, "Before heading to Yao Island, I have something to tell you, because ..."

"The rules have changed."

It has been a long time since Yaodao was established, and the rules have undergone quite a few changes. In the past hundred years, in order to take care of the newcomer disciples, the Lingxiao Sect often sends disciples from the Condensing Yuan Realm to be on duty on Yaodao. The disciples would rescue them when they were in danger during the mission of hunting monsters. Especially after Wang Gen came to Qingyu Island three years ago to preside over the affairs of the newcomers, he was even more cautious and took good care of these juniors and sisters. For this reason, the number of Yuan Condensing Realm disciples on duty was directly increased from one to three.

But few people know that when Yaodao was first established, the original intention of the senior patriarch of Lingxiaozong was not like this. The new disciples of the past went to Yaodao, and they were completely let alone, and they were allowed to act on their own, even if there was a risk of falling and dying No one cared about it, because in the eyes of the senior Ling Xiaozong, Yaodao was originally a place for practical training, and no one forced him to come here.Now that you have come to Demon Island, you will naturally experience the most primitive and real battle.

Between life and death, it all depends on oneself, and all kinds of dangers and adversities can only be borne by oneself one by one.

This original intention seems to have been gradually forgotten after many years, but after the incident on Yaodao, at the Jinhong Mountain Elders' Meeting, there was a certain elder from the Yuandan Realm who was radical and couldn't stand it anymore, thinking that the sect was right now. The rookie disciples really took too much care of them. As a result, these rookie disciples had no practical training, not even the self-knowledge when facing dangerous monsters and ghosts. Going down, what good seedlings will there be for the newcomers cultivated on Herring Island?

After several disputes, coupled with the impact of Ganze Yaodao's distress incident, all kinds of waves in the sect were treacherous. Indeed, many elders did not like this and agreed with them one after another. So in the end, the rules of the Yaodao Island , It was finally changed and returned to the original appearance.

Gan Ze's face was very ugly, his hands were hanging by his side, quietly clenched into fists, as if he was suppressing the irritability in his heart, while Shen Shi raised his brows, and a sense of uneasiness flashed in his heart, and said: "Senior sister, you means to say..."

Xu Yanzhi sighed, looked at them with a bit of regret and sympathy, and said: "From now on, Brother Zeng and I are only responsible for sending you to Yao Island, other than that, we will not Step onto Demon Island."

Zeng Zhibai also said beside him: "After you go to the island, you have to rely on yourself. No matter where you go, what kind of monsters or ghosts you hunt, it is up to you to decide. We will never interfere, but we will never intervene in assistance. , even if you were injured in the monster hunt, or even seriously injured, as long as you don't climb onto this boat, even if you are chased by monsters on the seawall below, we will not take action."

Both Shen Shi and Gan Ze turned pale at the same time.

Xu Yanzhi sighed, and said: "That's the rule, but it's still up to you to decide whether to go to Yao Island or not. If you don't want to go, you can get off the boat now."

There was a brief silence on the deck, Shen Shi and Gan Ze did not speak, but the figures of the two also did not move, and there was no intention of leaving.

After a while, Zeng Zhibai nodded, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, and said: "Alright, since you still don't leave after knowing the rules, let's sail. In short, after arriving at Demon Island, everything can only depend on you Myself, life and death are just a thin line, so be careful."

The big ship trembled at anchor, and slowly drove out of the pier. Shen Shi on the deck suddenly asked Xu Yanzhi: "Senior sister Xu, besides the two of us, where are the senior brothers and sisters who are in the high-level Qi refining realm?"

Xu Yanzhi said indifferently: "The news of the change of the rules on Yao Island has been spread in the past few days. They must all know about it. As for why no one came today, I don't understand."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left, leaving Shen Shi and Gan Ze standing on the deck, looking at each other speechlessly.

On the other side of the deck, Xu Yanzhi walked up to Zeng Zhibai, who was manipulating the ship. After a while, Zeng Zhibai suddenly heard a snort, and said, "These high-level disciples in the Qi refining realm are really incompetent. After being left unattended, no one dared to come to Yao Island."

Xu Yanzhi shook his head silently, and glanced at the other side of the boat, where the two 15-year-old boys were silently waiting, even though they had never encountered a truly dangerous situation ahead.

"Speaking of which, there are still a few good seedlings in this batch of new disciples." She said softly with a bit of a smile.

Zeng Zhibo followed her gaze to the deck, nodded, and seemed to agree with Xu Yanzhi's words, but then his eyes turned to the direction of the Yao Island farther away, and the depths of his eyes flicked A little dazed.
