"Ding! Ding! Ding! "
The sound of metal hitting metal could be heard from far away in the room. Everyone in the room looked at the scene on the bed and could not help but feel a headache coming on.
The source of the sound was none other than the elder brother's sister. She was using a hammer and an awl to hit the mask of the person on the bed, trying to open the mask. However, after hammering for the time it took to burn a stick of incense, she only made a shallow mark.
Of course, the reason was that the woman did not use her full strength. She was afraid of hurting the person on the bed, so she hammered within a controlled range. However, even so, the reaction should not have been so weak. This made everyone in the room even more curious about the person's identity.
"I don't believe in evil today!" The woman was tired and angry. She said defiantly, "I'll definitely cut it open for you!"
As she spoke, the woman's right hand suddenly exerted a lot of strength. She held the hammer tightly and raised it up high, smashing it hard towards the awl!
"Whoosh!"
The person on the bed suddenly raised his right hand!
"Pa!"
The woman's wrist was grabbed before she could hit the awl. A terrifying force came from within. Under the strong pull of the person on the bed, she instantly lost her balance and fell onto the bed!
The woman was directly dragged onto the bed. The masked man on the bed also sat up. His left arm wrapped around the woman's shoulder from behind. His right hand locked the woman's arm behind her back, and his left hand directly clasped the woman's throat!
Everything happened too quickly. Before anyone in the room could react, the woman had already fallen into the masked man's hands! Immediately, everyone in the room stood up and released their strength to pressure the masked man!
"Let her go!" The leader of the group, the woman's brother, Wu Ce, instantly tensed up and said angrily, "Or I'll take your life!"
There were a total of eight people in the room. All of them glared at Lu An angrily. They were ready to attack as soon as they found an opportunity!
On the bed, the masked man's eyes had already opened. He sat on the bed and looked at everyone in the room calmly.
Lu An quickly observed the situation around him. He quickly realized that these people were not hostile to him. However, when he woke up, the woman was hitting him with a hammer. He instinctively reacted to the danger. Fortunately, he held back. Otherwise, if he used his flame, the woman would have died and he would not be able to save her.
The confrontation was very short. After two breaths, the man on the bed suddenly released his grip and opened his arms to show that he had given up on attacking. The woman, who was no longer restrained, quickly got up from the bed and ran to her brother's side!
Wu Ce pulled his sister over and placed her behind his back, shielding her from the front. Seeing the masked man let go of the hostage, everyone was relieved, but their hostility towards Lu An still didn't disappear.
"It was unintentional." Lu An raised his hands, and his calm voice sounded out from under the mask as he looked at everyone and said, "Please forgive me for offending you."
Hearing the masked man's words, everyone in the room was stunned. They looked at each other, and the hostility was reduced by half. Wu Ce was not a calculative person. It was indeed his sister who had been fooling around. It was reasonable for her to suddenly wake up and do such a thing.
However … from the looks of this person's skills just now, I'm afraid he's not weak!
Wu Ce's sister was called Wu Juan. She looked at the masked man and said angrily, "You really bite the hand that feeds you. I worked so hard to save you from the sea, and you treat me like this?"
Lu An frowned and asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"
"I don't know either." Wu Ce looked at the masked man and said in a deep voice, "I saw a red light in the distance, so I rushed over and saw you floating on the sea. It's only been an hour since I took you away."
'An hour?'
Lu An's face under the mask was obviously stunned. 'I've only been unconscious for an hour?!'
Lu An lowered his head to look at his own body. He was wearing very loose clothes, and he did not wear them properly at all. He could see his chest, which was completely intact. In fact, it felt even more comfortable and light than before. There was no trace of injury at all!
'How could it be so fast?!'
Even if it was from afar, it might not be able to heal him to this state in an hour. Moreover, he didn't feel weak at all!
Lu An looked up at Wu Ce in confusion and asked, "Was it you who healed my injuries?"
Wu Ce was obviously stunned when he heard this. He then shook his head and said, "Other than my subordinates putting on clothes for you, we didn't do anything else."
"…"
Lu An was even more confused when he heard this. 'If these people didn't save me, then what's going on?' Although he had the Return to Heaven Technique in his body, he knew how serious his injuries were before he fainted. The Return to Heaven Technique could at most save his life. It was impossible for it to completely heal him in just an hour!
'Moreover … these people found me on the sea?!'
Lu An's brows knit together tightly. He was naturally happy that he was able to survive, but this sort of thing was too strange and strange. 'What happened? Why don't I know anything about it?'
Looking at the masked man's contemplative eyes, Wu Ce took a deep breath and interrupted his thoughts. He asked, "May I know your name?"
Lu An looked at him. After all, he was the one who saved him. He thought for a moment and said, "You can call me Little Six."
"Little Six?" Wu Ce was stunned. This was obviously not his real name. It seemed that the other party didn't want to reveal his identity. However, he didn't care and said, "I'm Wu Ce. This is my sister, Wu Juan. The others are my brothers. We saved you mainly because we want to know what happened. "
Wu Ce didn't beat around the bush, and Lu An didn't hide anything either. He really told them about the moving island and the changes that happened later. However, according to Lu An's words, he was completely lucky to have escaped and wasn't very strong.
After listening to the masked man's words, everyone in the room fell into deep thought and soon began to discuss. A living plant turned into a moving island. This sounded very novel, but did it have anything to do with the treasure?
At this moment, Wu Juan, who was usually the noisiest, was very quiet. She was completely lost in thought and kept frowning as if she was recalling something.
Then, suddenly, Wu Juan's eyes lit up. She rushed out of the room and disappeared from everyone's sight!
Even Wu Ce looked at his sister's disappearing figure blankly. He didn't know what had happened. After a while, when Wu Ce was about to think again, Wu Juan rushed back!
However, in Wu Juan's hand, there was a book covered in dust.
"I remember this plant!" Wu Juan said loudly as soon as she entered the room. She quickly came to her brother's side and said while holding the book, "When I was bored, I once saw a similar record in this book!"
"What?!" Wu Ce was stunned. He didn't expect his sister to have seen this thing. He quickly looked at the book.
"Strange Stories".
Wu Ce had also seen this book. It probably recorded some very strange things, including things and stories. It was also a little famous in the sea. However, most of the content recorded in it was too strange and unrealistic. Everyone thought that this book was just a made-up story and never took the things in it seriously. For a practical person like Wu Ce, he didn't have the leisure to read such a book.
On the contrary, Wu Juan liked to read strange things. She quickly opened the book and quickly found the relevant records. The others also quickly surrounded the two of them. Sure enough, not only was there a record in the book, there were also two illustrations depicting it!
After Wu Ce carefully read the content, he took the book and walked in front of Lu An. He asked him, "Is it like this?"
Lu An stood up from the bed. His eyes under the mask looked at the book. Although the illustration was very simple, it made Lu An's eyes tremble!
The first illustration was of a quiet floating island. There was a dense forest on it. The second illustration was of the island exploding. The surrounding seawater was blown up. Below it was the shape of an inverted umbrella. Above it was a thick tree with countless branches and leaves.
This change was exactly the same as what Lu An saw.
Lu An looked at the description on the right. This plant was called 'Sea Bush'.
As for the appearance of this plant, there was only one sentence in the book to describe it.
"Guarding the treasure of the deep sea, thousands of people live there, millions of miles around it, illusory as an island."
