"You all appeared from this direction. From now on, you will be working on the No.3 devouring island." The Holy Spirit pointed at the island before disappearing.
"Should we go?"
A lot of people were hesitating.
"What else can we do? Do you have a way to leave?"
"Let's go! Let's see how it goes first! "
Just like that, everyone arrived at the No.3 devouring island.
The No.3 devouring island was not that big, and could only be considered as a small island. There were more people on the island than he had expected, numbering in the tens of thousands. A small portion of them were training in the valley in the center of the island, while the rest were either making Zhen yuan crystals in their own caves, or chatting and practicing martial arts outside.
"Look! Another group of unlucky people."
"I guess they were also tricked by the Black Water alliance."
"So many people … They must have been tricked."
The people who were chatting on the island looked at Ye Chen and the rest, their tone carrying a hint of gloating and numbness.
"The Black Water alliance had indeed tricked a lot of people!" Murong Qingcheng saw that there were tens of thousands of people on the island, and she was a bit surprised. It should be known that there were six islands on the devouring island, and there would be more than one hundred thousand people on the six islands. Among them, the lowest cultivation would be at the Astral Reaching Realm, while the highest would be at the half step king warrior level. If they could be controlled, it would definitely be a horrifying power.
"After a long time, it is not strange for there to be this many people."
Ye Chen rolled his eyes and said, "It seems like some of them have been on the island for years. Although they are not dead yet, they are no different from the walking dead."
Hearing him, Murong Qingcheng looked over the people on the island and realized that there would always be a couple of people who had a blank expression on their faces. It seemed like they did not care about anything, and their eyes were always losing focus.
"Will we end up like this?"
A bit of anxiety appeared on Murong Qingcheng's face.
Whooo!
Letting out a breath, Ye Chen sneered, "If you want to lock me up, you will have to see if this place can hold me."
The Holy Spirit said that even Life and Death Realm warriors would not be able to do anything to him. But, there were no Life and Death Realm warriors on the island. Therefore, even if Life and Death Realm warriors could not do anything to the Holy Spirit, they would not be afraid of him. Therefore, as long as one could become a Life and Death Realm warrior, there would be a chance to get out. Of course, that would be in the future.
"Hey, you newcomers might not know about the little rules of the island yet. I am a nice guy, so I will tell you about them." A tall and sturdy looking man walked out. "First, on the devouring island, everyone has their own cave.
If you want a place to rest, then you will have to build your own cave. The distance between your cave and other people's cave cannot be more than fifty meters, so it cannot be too big. Second, there is a training holy ground in the center of the island. Besides the last day of the week, you can go there to train at any time. Of course, you will have to line up. Third, the last day of the month is the time to hand in the Zhen yuan crystals. Do not forget about it. As for where to hand it in, you do not need to worry about it. When the cave is built, a stone altar will appear, and you only need to put the Zhen yuan crystals on it. "
"Alright, that is all. You should go find a place to build your cave. The rocks here are very hard. "The simple and honest man waved his hand.
…
Because the island was not that big, there were only a couple of small mountains on the island, which were almost like beehives. There was no place to build a cave at all. Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng had chosen a lot of places before they finally managed to dig out a cave on a slope.
The reason why they chose to build it on the rocks was because Ye Chen realized that the rocks on the island were very hard and could block out soul power. Sea of Souls Realm warriors' soul power would only be able to spread out ten meters, and half step king warriors would not be able to go beyond thirty meters. Even though Ye Chen's soul power was very powerful, it could only reach fifty meters.
Once the cave was built, a wave of vibration appeared in the surreal space, and a stone altar slowly landed down.
"This devouring island seems to have its own natural rules."
Ye Chen looked like he was thinking about something.
"What do you think the Holy Spirit is?" Murong Qingcheng thought about the existence of the Holy Spirit.
Ye Chen said, "It should be the manager of this world. As for whether or not it is a living being, I do not know. But I have this feeling that this place has a very powerful background, so powerful that even Life and Death Realm warriors are afraid of it. Otherwise, that Holy Spirit would not have said that even Life and Death Realm warriors could not do anything to it."
"That is really bad."
Murong Qingcheng frowned.
"Today is only the first day, so I do not know anything yet. But, I will find out in the future." Ye Chen took out the puppet house from his storage ring and put it in the middle of the cave. He did not want to sleep on the hard ground.
…
Astral Reaching Realm warriors could make about fifteen Zhen yuan crystals every month, which was an average of one every two days. Sea of Souls Realm warriors could make Zhen yuan crystals five times more than Astral Reaching Realm warriors. They could make seventy-five crystals every month, which was an average of five every two days.
In the next four days, Ye Chen had made eleven Zhen yuan crystals, which was higher than average. As for Murong Qingcheng, she had made fifteen demon power crystals, which was a lot more powerful than Ye Chen, since the demon power was more powerful than Zhen yuan in the first place.
"I wonder if the demon power crystals would be useful?"
Murong Qingcheng said.
Ye Chen said, "On the devouring island, there are not only humans, but also beasts. The beasts can make the demon power crystals. Since the demon power crystals are useful, then the demon power crystals should be useful as well."
"I hope so!"
Murong Qingcheng nodded.
"Let's go! There is a holy place for training in the middle of the island. Let's go check it out." Making eleven Zhen yuan crystals in four days meant that they could make at least eighty in a month. Sea of Souls Realm warriors would only need to hand over fifty Zhen yuan crystals, which would be more than enough.
"Yeah!"
Murong Qingcheng and Ye Chen walked out of the cave together.
The island was not that big. Once the two walked out of the cave, they could see the people on the island.
"I have only made sixteen Zhen yuan crystals this month. Ten of them need to be handed over, and three of them need to be handed over to the manager of the Black Water Alliance. There are only three left, and you want to take two of them at once? I have worked hard this month for nothing." Not far away, an Astral Reaching Realm warrior yelled.
"I don't care how many Zhen yuan crystals you have made this month. If I ask you to hand them over, then hand them over. Otherwise, I will take away all the Zhen yuan crystals you have and let you be punished by the Holy Spirit. I believe a lot of people know how painful it is. Do you want to try it?"
It was a middle-aged man with extremely long hair. Behind him, there were dozens of Sea of Souls Realm warriors, looking very aggressive.
"Don't push it too far."
The Astral Reaching Realm warrior's tone softened.
"I am bullying you. Hurry up! I do not have time to waste with you."
The man said impatiently.
Eventually, he still handed over the two Zhen yuan crystals and left angrily.
"Ah, when will it end?"
Not far away from Ye Chen, an elder shook his head.
Ye Chen turned his head to look, "Senior, what is going on?"
"What else could it be? It is just the dark power here. "The elder's cultivation was not weak, being at Late Sea of Souls Realm.
"Dark power? Besides the Black Water Alliance, there are other dark power parties here?"
Murong Qingcheng did not understand.
The elder explained, "The Black Water Alliance is the biggest manager on the devouring island besides the Holy Spirit. All six islands are under their control, and there are a lot of dark power parties on each island. Our No.3 devouring island is divided into thirty regions, and each region is ruled by a group of dark power parties. This region of ours is called the Black Mountain Region, and the leader of the dark power party there is a half step king warrior called the Tough King. His rule is that as long as one lives in the Black Mountain Region and has an Astral Reaching Realm cultivation, they have to hand over two Zhen yuan crystals every month. Sea of Souls Realm warriors, ten crystals, and half step king warriors are exempted."
"Does the Black Water Alliance not care about it?"
Murong Qingcheng continued to ask.
The elder made a face, "Jackals of the same tribe. Actually, the dark power parties on the devouring island are all accepted by the Black Water Alliance for better management. Otherwise, if there is a rebellion, it would be a headache for the Black Water Alliance as well."
"I see."
Ye Chen nodded slightly.
"You are new here as well, right?" The elder saw that Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng were not familiar with them.
"Yes."
"Right now is the beginning of the month, so no one will come to collect your Zhen yuan crystals. But, after this month ends, you will have to face this.
Remember, do not fight against the Tough King and his power, and definitely do not fight against the power of the Black Water Alliance. Otherwise, you will only suffer. "
"Thank you senior for the reminder." Ye Chen held his fists together as he walked toward the center of the island with Murong Qingcheng.
On the way …
Murong Qingcheng said, "This devouring island is more chaotic than I thought. The island is divided into thirty regions, and each region has at least seven to eight hundred people. Ninety percent of them are Astral Reaching Realm warriors, and they would be able to collect one thousand Zhen yuan crystals every month. Sea of Souls Realm warriors would be around ten percent, and they would be able to collect one thousand Zhen yuan crystals every month. So, it would be more than two thousand in total.
It would be quite a fortune. "Ye Chen shook his head," It is not that simple. The Black Water Alliance would not let the Tough King get all the benefits alone. It would most likely be the Black Water Alliance, and the Tough King's power. "
The training place was in the valley in the center of the island. When Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng arrived, the valley was already full, and there were a lot of people lining up outside.
"So many people!"
Murong Qingcheng saw that there were more than one hundred people in the line.
"Let's go back first."
Ye Chen did not really care about the training place. He was only one step away from the half step king warrior realm, and so was Murong Qingcheng. Training alone would not do them much good.
When Ye Chen and the rest arrived at the island, it was the beginning of the month. The Zhen yuan crystals that they had made were all stored in their storage rings, and it was not time to hand them in yet.
Within a blink of an eye, twenty days had passed, and the end of the month was getting closer and closer.
During this period of time, Ye Chen had made fifty-five Zhen yuan crystals, and Murong Qingcheng had made seventy-five. It had already exceeded the requirement by quite a bit.
"Can you give me a break for this month? I have used a lot of Zhen yuan crystals to accumulate Zhen yuan. By the end of the month, I will only have sixty Zhen yuan crystals left. If I give you ten, it will not be enough."
The same thing happened in the black mountain area again, but this time, it was a peak level Late Sea of Souls Realm warrior.
"Sorry, you have to hand it in. Hurry up!"
The Tough king's follower did not care about the others' feelings at all.
That peak level Late Sea of Souls Realm warrior bit on his teeth and still handed in ten Zhen yuan crystals. It turned out that he had just managed to break through from peak level Mid Sea of Souls Realm to Late Sea of Souls Realm this month, and he had used a couple of Zhen yuan crystals. Then, he reached the peak level from Late Sea of Souls Realm, and he had used a lot of them as well.
"Hey! You two, come over and hand in the Zhen yuan crystals. Ten for each of you. "Putting away the Zhen yuan crystals that he had just received, the Tough king's follower noticed Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was not surprised at all. Every month from the end of the month to the beginning of the month, it was the time for the dark power parties to collect the Zhen yuan crystals. After all, there were thousands of people in a district, so it would take a couple of days to collect them.
"Let your Tough king come talk to me."
Ye Chen said calmly.
