Qin Yi and Lu Yu could naturally feel this hostility.
Qin Yi was indifferent. Lu Yu was naturally a little unhappy. When he was in his hometown, wherever he went, there was no lack of praise and bragging.
Now, no matter where he went, he would always be greeted with all kinds of malice and hostility.
However, when Lu Yu thought that these poor people were still in the dark and didn't know the truth, he couldn't help but feel a little better.
The two of them were taken to a corner and found their own seats.
"Wait here for a moment." The person who brought them in whispered to them and then left.
The two of them sat in their seats and felt all kinds of strange gazes focused on them. Qin Yi naturally pretended not to see it.
Lu Yu snorted a few times and was patted on the shoulder by Qin Yi, but in the end, he didn't act up.
Not long after, it was seven in the morning.
In the process of waiting, some people arrived one after another. Qin Yi observed for a while and found that all the people who came in had at least the cultivation of the Dao Foundation Realm.
In this way, Qin Yi's guess that they were the trial targets was confirmed.
Not only did Qin Yi not feel depressed, but he also felt a little more at ease.
The most worrying thing was often not the known fear, but the unknown fear. If he didn't know what he was going to do on this trip to Devil Spirit Island, Qin Yi would feel uncertain.
If he knew what the other party was planning and knew what the other party was planning, he would be relatively more confident in dealing with it.
When it was seven in the morning, no one else came in.
The sinister old man appeared once again, surrounded by a group of people.
This old man was dressed splendidly today and had a rather dignified bearing, which made him look very imposing. On both sides of him was a group of fierce warriors who looked like wolves and tigers. Looking at their cultivation, they were probably all elite martial artists at the Dao Embryo Realm.
Such a group of cultivators at the Dao Embryo Realm was so respectful to this old man, which showed how high this old man's status was.
"Everyone, this old man is very happy that you are all people who keep your promises. No one broke the promise and no one was late. This is very good, it proves that this old man didn't choose the wrong people.
"This old man won't waste any more words. In order to make it easier for you to familiarize yourselves with your missions. Now, each of you will be given a jade slip with information about the spirit herbs you wish to harvest. This information is very detailed, to ensure that you are not mistaken. When you've collected enough spirit herbs, you must hand over this jade slip. "The eerie old man waved his hand.
Someone had already begun to distribute the information jade slips one by one.
Qin Yi observed for a moment. There were only a few hundred people present. At the very most, there wouldn't be more than six hundred people.
"I heard from Yun Gu that there are at least a few thousand targets. From the looks of it, even the trial targets are sent to Devil Spirit Island in batches, right? "
Qin Yi speculated in his heart.
He did this for the sake of stability.
If a few thousand people entered Demonic Spirit Island at the same time, it would inevitably cause too much commotion, and it would be easy for people to have all sorts of bad associations.
In this way, the matter might be exposed.
With such batches entering in batches, no one would know. Most people didn't know the inside story and might really think that the main mission was to harvest spirit herbs. They might not even know how they died.
Qin Yi estimated that there were definitely not many lucky people like him who knew the inside story in advance.
While he was thinking, the jade slip had already been handed to him. Qin Yi subconsciously took it. The person who distributed it said mechanically, "This jade slip must be kept properly, and you must hand it back on the return trip. Once it is lost, even if you have collected enough spirit herbs, it won't count as a pass. "
Qin Yi nodded and took it without saying anything.
Lu Yu grabbed the jade slip in her hand, but she muttered, "There are only a few spirit herbs, I already knew them by heart when I was ten years old. Why do I need a jade slip to remind me?"
These words were obviously heard by the person who distributed it. That person's eyes widened, and he asked coldly, "What? Do you think we're doing unnecessary things? "
Although Lu Yu was unhappy, he knew that he couldn't afford to offend these people in front of him. However, Qin Yi said, "Friend, this brother of mine has some attainments in the field of spirit herbs, so it's unavoidable for him to speak out of turn. He doesn't mean anything else, please forgive him. "
Of course, Qin Yi didn't want to cause any trouble at this critical juncture.
Although he was also very unhappy with these people, he felt that he was being used as a pawn.
This was the cruel reality. They needed the temporary protection of Misty Cloud Island, so they had to risk their lives on Devil Spirit Island. This was the reality. To put it bluntly, it was a transaction.
Although the other side of the transaction wasn't open and aboveboard, they were still the meat on the chopping block. They couldn't say anything, and they were the meat on the chopping block.
It was definitely not a wise choice to clash with them head-on.
If they chose to cause trouble now, then they would undoubtedly become enemies with the organizers of the Cloud Sea Empire's trial, and they would definitely be used as a warning to others.
The person sneered and glanced at Lu Yu indifferently. In the end, he didn't say anything.
Half an hour later, everyone had a jade slip in their hands.
Qin Yi's expression was the same as usual, but a few thoughts popped up in his mind. Just as Lu Yu had said, these spirit herbs were not very complicated or difficult to identify. As long as one had the slightest foundation in martial arts and spirit herbs, they could easily memorize the information without the help of the jade slip.
Why did these people have to go through the trouble of giving out jade slips?
Nominally, it was to provide information, but in Qin Yi's opinion, there was something more to the jade slip!
After receiving the jade slips, the eerie old man said, "Alright, now that you've received the information about this mission, the harvest mission will begin soon. The month-long harvest mission is about to begin. Now, you will be sent to Devil Spirit Island in batches of ten. Each of you will enter Devil Spirit Island at a different location. Remember, when you return, you must be sure that you can return to the location where you first entered Devil Spirit Island. Otherwise, you might not be able to return smoothly.
"Of course, there are a few fixed teleportation points on Devil Spirit Island. If you've collected all the spirit herbs required for the mission and found a fixed teleportation point, you can use it to return. However, you must remember that the teleportation points will only be activated after a month. Therefore, you must be mentally prepared to survive for a month. Don't think about getting lucky. "
The warning from the eerie old man had undoubtedly extinguished many people's hopes of getting lucky. Many people were indeed thinking about gathering the required spirit herbs as quickly as possible after entering Demonic Spirit Island.
