"Is there a problem with the cliff?" Tang Ling looked at Han Xing and Dong Yang curiously. Aren't their expressions a little too exaggerated?
It's just a cliff. Will it be difficult for them, who are Purple Moon Warriors?
After the question, Tang Ling jumped down first. His body might be falling fast, but he managed to grab a short tree on the cliff in time to slow down his fall. He then let go of the tree and jumped down again. He was as nimble as a monkey.
Jumping down from the cliff was not a problem. Even though they were not as strong as Tang Ling, with Han Xing and Dong Yang's strength, they could land safely even if the cliff was higher.
Most importantly, Han Xing and Dong Yang thought they were observing the so-called trial from the cliff. The cliff was directly opposite the Sea Howl Island, so they could see a corner of the island's trial. What was the big deal about jumping down from the cliff? Could it be …
Han Xing and Dong Yang looked terrible. They dared not even think about the possibility.
However, Tang Ling had already landed on a reef near the shore. Seeing that Han Xing and Dong Yang had not come down, he whistled and urged them to hurry up.
Han Xing and Dong Yang looked at each other and sighed helplessly before they jumped down the cliff.
**
It was late at night.
The three of them groped their way to the reef and looked at the Sea Howl Island from afar.
"Are you going to use a crystal ball to get there?" They were already on the other side of the safety line. Dong Yang frowned as he looked at the violent waves under the moonlight.
It was definitely not a good idea. They were on the other side of the safety line. Who knew what was under the water? It would not be a small matter if they provoked a big guy.
On top of that, Dong Yang would never believe that the Poseidon family did not set up anything under the water.
"I won't use a crystal ball," Tang Ling answered briefly before he started to search the reef.
"Are you going to pick up a piece of wood and swim over?" Han Xing asked in a mocking tone.
Tang Ling was a lunatic. The two islands might be facing each other, but there was a certain distance between them. Even if they were Purple Moon Warriors, they could not swim over easily.
While Han Xing was mocking him, Tang Ling pulled a simple wooden boat out from the reef.
"What's this?" Dong Yang and Han Xing were both stunned.
Tang Ling pushed the boat back to the surface and tossed the oars to Han Xing and Dong Yang. He then said, "There's a girl in the boat that's following us. She's from the grassroots. However, her talent is very special. It's similar to a craftsman's talent. "
While they were talking, the three of them had already boarded the boat. There was almost no extra space on the small boat for the three of them.
Tang Ling sat at the bow and rowed with Dong Yang and Han Xing. Even though the wind was a little strong, the three of them were able to steer the boat forward steadily.
"Which girl?" Dong Yang asked in confusion.
Han Xing, on the other hand, pouted in disdain. Tang Ling, you little bastard! All you know is to pay attention to girls.
"Her name is Lu Xiaohua." Tang Ling did not know how to describe the girl, so all he could say was the girl's name. As he rowed the boat, he said, "In short, this kind of talent is different from combat talents. It's shown from birth."
"But in the Purple Moon era, people prefer combat talents, so she's not eye-catching at all."
"And then?" Han Xing helplessly rowed the boat. He could not forget about the incident at the Ocean Palace and his grudge against Tang Ling rose to the sky.
"Then, when she got on the island, no one would notice her. I asked her to prepare this boat for us in secret. That's about it. "Tang Ling briefly explained what happened.
Who was Lu Xiaohua? That day in the square, she was one of the few grassroots members who were determined to follow Tang Ling. She seemed a little stubborn.
However, Tang Ling did not know about the details.
It was Lu Xiaohua who approached Tang Ling and told him about her talent. She expressed her desire to follow Tang Ling out to sea. She was not just trying to ride his coattails, but she wanted to train herself and do something useful.
It was then that Tang Ling found out about Lu Xiaohua's rare talent.
The girl's eyes shone with a stubborn gleam that refused to admit defeat. Tang Ling admired her because she fulfilled Lu Xiaohua's wish without a second thought. She became a useful person, which was why they had this boat.
Han Xing and Dong Yang were speechless.
Tang Ling's way of doing things was really unpredictable, but what was the purpose of his painstakingly plotting all of this?
Why did he have to do all this? Couldn't he just pass through the Tommy Safety Line?
Dong Yang thought it was necessary to ask Tang Ling.
Tang Ling then said, "We need a boat like this. Otherwise, other than swimming, there's no other way for us to reach Tsunami Island without being noticed."
"Why?" This time, it was Han Xing who asked.
"Because there's a special detection device set up by the Poseidon family underwater. It's mainly to prevent ships from sneaking in. I haven't figured out its detection mechanism yet, but any ship with a propulsion system or a ship larger than a certain size will be discovered if it sails around here, "Tang Ling explained slowly.
"Is that why you don't use the crystal ball? But the question is, how do you know all this? What are you trying to do? Are you going to lie to us? " Both Han Xing and Dong Yang were displeased. Han Xing was more familiar with Tang Ling, so he expressed his feelings more directly.
"Something is wrong, so I have to be cautious." Tang Ling sighed. "I don't plan to hide it from you guys. Up until now, everything is just my guess. I still need some evidence. Otherwise, if I just say it out loud, it will only make everyone anxious. "
Dong Yang and Han Xing did not say anything. They knew Tang Ling had something else to say.
As he spoke, he took something out from his pocket and tossed it to Han Xing, who was sitting behind him. Han Xing opened his palm to reveal a small metallic object. It looked like a common fish in the ocean. If it were not for the metallic sensation when he held it in his hand, Han Xing would have fallen for it as well.
"This is the metal detector. Monty gave it to me," Tang Ling said calmly.
"What? Monty?! Monty followed us out to sea? " Han Xing was a little agitated. After feeding Monty for half a year, his young heart was filled with psychological trauma.
He thought about going out to sea and finally getting rid of that strange octopus, but he did not expect it to follow them out to sea.
In his excitement, the rhythm of Han Xing's rowing changed, causing the small wooden boat to spin a few times in the waves.
"Hey, steady! Monty came from the sea. Is it strange to follow us out to sea? "Tang Ling grumbled.
What else did Han Xing want to say? He looked down and saw a small tentacle latch onto the side of the boat. Then, a round head popped out from the side of the boat.
"Ah, Monty followed us out to sea. This is great! God knows how much I miss it! I even dream about it! God has granted my wish. "Undoubtedly, Han Xing's desire to live was very strong.
When Monty's head popped out, it looked at Han Xing coldly, but after Han Xing confessed, Monty seemed satisfied. It nodded and slithered up to Tang Ling's shoulder.
Everything happened quickly and strangely. Dong Yang, who was at the back of the boat, did not even notice a little octopus on the boat. Confused, he asked, "What is Monty?"
Is it a human? Why didn't it appear on the boat before? Is it a fish? If it's a fish, how could it have the intelligence to follow us out to sea?
Dong Yang did not mean it, but right after he said it, a jet of ink went around Han Xing and sprayed Dong Yang's face.
"Hahaha!" Han Xing laughed heartily.
Dong Yang's face turned black from the ink. His eyes were rolling around furiously, but when he opened his eyes, he saw a strange, round octopus glaring at him. Its beak was almost touching his face.
At the same time, Han Xing turned around and winked at Dong Yang.
Although they had only known each other for a few days, they had fought alongside each other for a long time, so they had a tacit understanding of each other. Dong Yang knew Han Xing was reminding him to be careful and hold it in.
Dong Yang held it in. At the same time, he knew the little octopus was the Monty that Tang Ling and Han Xing had mentioned.
It was just a small interlude. While the three of them were chatting, they rowed the little wooden boat to the center of the two islands.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly, to the point that Tang Ling felt a little uneasy. However, he could not figure out what made him feel uneasy. At least, his Precise Instinct did not give him any sense of danger yet.
Since he could not figure out the reason, all he could do was brace himself and sail towards his destination.
Dong Yang and Han Xing knew that Tang Ling had his doubts about the matter, so they did not ask further.
Just like what Tang Ling said, he still needed more evidence to confirm his suspicions. Before that, all he had to do was accompany Tang Ling to prove his suspicions. The interaction between the teenagers was simple.
**
Forty minutes later.
The simple and crude wooden boat successfully docked at a secluded reef beach on the Sea Howl Island.
The three of them dared not step onto the island, so they dived into the sea. They planned to swim around the beach and get closer to the trial.
Unlike the lively and brightly lit Sea Tear Island, Tsunami Island was quiet. Other than the light at the foot of the highest peak, the rest of the island was shrouded in darkness.
Even so, who would dare to wander around in the darkness? Beasts roared ceaselessly on the island and a powerful aura would be released from time to time, meaning that there were high-level vicious beasts on the island.
What was the purpose of the Poseidon family? Did they want to turn the island into a farm?
Doubts lingered in Tang Ling's heart, but the journey was surprisingly smooth once again. In less than 20 minutes, the three of them swam to the side of the trial.
They did not run into any dangerous sea beasts, patrolmen, or even …
After Tang Ling climbed up to the shore, he panted heavily and wiped the seawater off his face. His heart was filled with doubts.
A moment ago, he felt that everything was too smooth, to the point that it made him feel uneasy.
However, he could not find any reason to prove that something was wrong back then. Now that he was on the shore, he realized that the smoothness came from the sea current.
Indeed, the sea current did not flow in a single direction. Due to various reasons, the seawater would flow along a certain path and form a massive ocean current.
In the old civilization, humans had almost mastered the rules of the ocean currents. However, that was all. Humans could not grasp the tiniest ocean currents, but it was not important.
Tang Ling was not an ocean expert. All he knew was that the ocean current would move shoals of fish and other floating objects.
Based on Tang Ling's Precise Instinct's calculation, it should have taken the three of them around 67 minutes to reach their destination.
In the end, it only took them 40 minutes to reach their destination.
Back then, Tang Ling thought that their little wooden boat must have run into a shallow ocean current that flowed towards them, thus allowing them to reach Tsunami Island in such a short time.
However, when they were swimming earlier, there was also a small ocean current pushing them forward! It was pushing them to their destination faster!
With his Precise Instinct, Tang Ling was already unusually sensitive, and with his careful observation, he even noticed the subtle force.
He stopped for a few seconds and carefully sensed his surroundings. Once again, he proved that he was being pushed to the trial by a force.
If it was a coincidence that they ran into the same ocean current once, would it be a coincidence that they ran into it twice?
The discovery made Tang Ling anxious, but since he was already there, should he give up and go back? No, he could not!
He was leading a big fleet now, so he had to be responsible for everyone's life. It had nothing to do with the rewards from Darkness Port. It was related to the care that Boss Huang once said and it was also Tang Ling's will in his heart.
If he could not prove or dispel the speculations in his heart, Tang Ling would not be at ease.
"What are you thinking about?" Han Xing and Dong Yang followed Tang Ling to the shore. Han Xing took off his shirt and soaked himself in the water.
Instead of soaking in the warm water of the Ocean Palace, he had been soaking in the cold water for a long time.
"Nothing. Let's get ready." Tang Ling also took off his shirt and soaked himself in the water. His wet clothes affected his speed.
In the end, he decided to take the risk to observe the trial. He was not reckless either because he still had one thing he could rely on — his Precise Instinct. There were no warnings of danger, not even the uneasiness that came from the bottom of his soul.

"In other words, three living people have disappeared just like that?" Omir's tone was very calm, and his expression was very calm. He did not seem angry at all.
However, the three collateral relatives who knelt in front of him could not help but tremble. They lowered their bodies even more and their foreheads were almost touching the ground.
One thing worth noting was that Omir was just a quasi-Purple Moon Warrior while the three of them were already rank 4 Purple Moon Warriors. They were among the top 10 combatants stationed on Ocean Tear Island.
But so what? They were just lowly collateral relatives with impure bloodlines. They would never dare to provoke a direct, pure-blooded descendant, let alone a core descendant.
On top of that, who was Omir? He was a notoriously cruel young lord. At this moment, the three of them almost stopped breathing. They were afraid that a heavy breath would cause their bodies to shatter into pieces.
