The waiter led Lu Fei to a seat by the window. Lu Fei looked outside and saw that the city was bustling with activity. All kinds of peddlers were gathered in the city, and there were even people walking around holding hands. It could be said that there were all kinds of strange things.
Just as Lu Fei was looking, the food had already been served. He immediately chewed to his heart's content. He had been eating grilled fish for the past few days, and his mouth was almost bland. However, the food here was bland and not to Lu Fei's liking. He stopped eating after eating a little and poured himself a bowl of wine to drink. He thought to himself that the wine here was not bad.
He finished a jar of wine and was about to pay the bill and leave when he saw a few women in white coming upstairs. Lu Fei saw that they were carrying swords and thought that they should be disciples of the East Sea Palace. Everyone hurriedly moved aside when the women passed by. Lu Fei was not in a hurry to leave. He wanted to eavesdrop on what they had to say.
He ordered another jar of wine and secretly sized them up. He realized that he did not recognize any of them. The women first chatted for a while, and then one of them said in a low voice, "Senior Sister, did Master say why he sent you to the Southern Sea this time?"
A woman in her twenties frowned and said, "I don't know either, but I vaguely heard that some kind of treasure has appeared."
Although they tried their best to keep their voices down, Lu Fei still heard them clearly. He heard the woman who had spoken earlier say excitedly, "What kind of treasure is it? Where is it? Why won't Master let me go? " The woman next to her said unhappily, "How would I know what kind of treasure it is? It's normal that Master doesn't let you go. I heard that it's a small island, and it's very dangerous. If you go, you probably won't be able to come back."
The woman from before stretched out her hand and said, "So powerful."
Lu Fei's heart thumped. He wondered if they were talking about the "Water Concealment Immortal Herb". If everyone else knew about the existence of such a treasure map, his chances of obtaining the immortal herb would be extremely slim. Thinking of this, Lu Fei decided to set off first. As the saying goes, the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first. He went downstairs to pay the bill and walked directly to the harbor outside the city. He saw a few men gathered in a small teahouse drinking tea. Lu Fei walked over and squeezed in between them. He placed an ingot of gold on the table. The men's eyes widened, but no one dared to take the gold. One of them asked, "Brother, what is the meaning of this?"
Lu Fei smiled and said, "I have some things I would like to ask you all. If your answers satisfy me, I will give the gold to you all to drink."
A relatively calm man said, "Let's hear it."
Lu Fei said, "I want to know, if I want to go to an island in the sea, how do I know its exact location?"
The men looked at each other and asked, "Brother, could it be that you want to go to the Poison Island?"
Lu Fei was stunned. "What's this' Poison Island 'thing?"
A man with a face full of pockmarks said, "There are many poisonous creatures on the Poison Island, so everyone named it the Poison Island. Recently, the Poison Island has been in an uproar. Everyone is saying that a treasure is going to be unearthed. A large number of martial artists have gone to the Poison Island, but no one has returned yet."
Another man said, "Most likely they died there. A few years ago, I saw someone go to the island. He died after taking a few steps. No one even dared to take his corpse. That thing is too scary."
Lu Fei's brows gradually furrowed. He reached into his bosom and took out the map he drew. "Take a look and see if this is the place."
The man with a face full of pockmarks glanced at it and said, "There's no mistake. This is the Poison Island."
"What the f * ck?" Lu Fei said, "Is the treasure still on the island?"
The group of men shook their heads and said, "We don't know. We sent a group of people there a few days ago. They just came back from that place last night. If the treasure is not on the island, no one should have gone there. However, I advise Young Master not to go there, lest you lose your life in vain."
Lu Fei stood up and said, "I'll go buy some things first. When I'm back, take me to the Poison Island." After saying that, he left without looking back. The men stared at the gold on the table and pressed their hands on it.
Lu Fei returned to the city to buy some necessities. He carried a big bag and went out of the city. The men who were drinking tea earlier were gone, but he was not worried that they would ignore him. After all, he was a rich man. Sure enough, he had not taken a few steps when the man who was chatting with him earlier came over and said, "Master, you're here. The boat is ready and we'll set off soon. Please follow me."
Lu Fei followed behind him. As the man walked, he said, "Boss said that you don't have to pay for the boat ride. Everyone else has already paid."
Lu Fei said, "There are others?"
The man said, "That's right. There are too many people going to the Poison Island these few days. Every day, there will be people chartering the boats. We can bring you along."
Lu Fei walked onto a medium-sized boat. A few men were busy working on it. When they saw Lu Fei, they greeted him. After all, Lu Fei had spent a lot of money earlier. If they fawned on Lu Fei, they might get more money in the future. However, no one thought of robbing Lu Fei. Those who dared to go to the Poison Island were not to be trifled with.
Lu Fei was led into the cabin by one of the men. He walked to a door and said, "Young Master, you can stay in this room."
Lu Fei was wearing a mask now, so he was not afraid to show his face. He rested for a while and walked out of the cabin. He almost bumped into a woman who was walking toward him. The moment they collided, both of them bounced back and took two steps back. Lu Fei saw that this woman was wearing a dark green outfit with a leather vest hanging over her shoulder. She looked valiant and formidable, but she was wearing a mask made of pure gold that covered everything above her face. He could not see her face clearly. However, Lu Fei could tell that this woman was a beauty who was not inferior to Zou Yuzhi just by looking at her alluring lips and perfect chin. The prerequisite was that she was not disfigured.
Lu Fei only glanced at her for a moment before moving to the side. The woman's eyes were sharp as she glanced at Lu Fei before walking past him into a room. Lu Fei walked out of the cabin and saw the vast sea. He stood at the bow of the ship and whistled. Although his whistle was not loud, it had a very strong penetrating power. It spread far and wide, and even people ten miles away could hear it. However, no one paid attention to him, thinking that it was just a very ordinary whistle. If someone were to listen to it from ten miles away, they would be shocked by Lu Fei's power behind his back.
Lu Fei channeled his power into his eyes. After a while, he saw a black shadow appear in the sea and quickly sank into the water. Lu Fei was relieved when he saw that the black flood dragon had followed him.
