Three days later, the island that Lu Ye and Hua Ci were on was ten times bigger than the original island. During this period, they had merged with several other floating islands. Some of the islands had enemies, while others were empty.
Lu Ye wanted to observe the pattern of the fusion between the islands, but in the end, he found that there was no pattern to speak of.
Two hours after they came here, they encountered the first island. After that, there was no movement for a long time. However, the second and third islands approached almost at the same time. At that time, Lu Ye and Hua Ci were nervous. If there were enemies on both islands, then their situation might not be too good.
The small islands that came later also suddenly appeared in his field of vision. There was no way to find the pattern. It was as if these small islands were drifting in the sea of chess. When they were close to each other to a certain distance, they would move closer to each other.
After killing several groups of cultivators from the Myriad Devil Ridge and having the experience of working together for the first time, Lu Ye and Hua Ci's cooperation became more and more skilled.
Every time they encountered an enemy, the two of them would disguise themselves as spell cultivators and greet the other party with spells. If the other party was a weapon cultivator or a body cultivator, they would definitely rush forward.
Every time this happened, Lu Ye would give the other party a surprise.
However, there were exceptions. Previously, they encountered two spell cultivators who enthusiastically exchanged spells with Lu Ye and Hua Ci for a long time. The two sides attacked each other with spells, and the fight was extremely lively.
In the end, Lu Ye and Hua Ci pretended to be unable to resist and fled back, leading the enemy over. When the enemy stepped into the mushroom area planted by Hua Ci, the outcome was already decided.
Once Hua Ci's mushrooms were activated, the spore powder they emitted would invade the enemy's body. The spores, which were too small to be seen with the naked eye, were not fatal. They would only obscure the spiritual energy in the cultivator's body for a short period of time. As a result, the enemy's strength would be greatly reduced.
At the same time, those spores would also absorb the spiritual power in the enemy's body and grow in their seven orifices. However, such a change in the body during a battle was undoubtedly very frightening. The mind would be in chaos, and the spiritual power would become obscure. Their strength would plummet, so how could they block Lu Ye's long saber?
Search!
It could be said that Hua Ci's method of killing enemies was very complicated. She was not as straightforward as Lu Ye, but it was extremely effective.
However, the mushrooms she planted were not without their nemesis. The spiritual power of the fire element could restrain the spores that invaded her body. If someone knew about the trap she had set in advance and used a fire element spell to clean up the area, then all of her arrangements would be destroyed.
Over the past three days, both of them had reaped some benefits. Although they had not gained much contribution points, they had gained quite a bit of support from the Tian Ji Pillars. After the battle at Spirit Creek Garrison was over, if they could invest all of these support points into the garrison, the Ling Qi in the garrison would definitely improve significantly.
Another battle was over. Lu Ye was covered in blood, some from his enemies, some from his own. He gasped for breath as he stood in a pool of blood.
Beside him were the corpses of four Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators!
This time, Lu Ye's luck wasn't too good. Two people from the Myriad Devil Mountain Range had met up. If it weren't for Hua Ci's arrangements, Lu Ye wouldn't have survived.
Although he could kill enemies above his realm, he still had his limits. With his current cultivation, fighting two Seventh-Order cultivators at the same time was already very difficult for him. Fighting three of them would be certain death.
Hua Ci's mushrooms had made a great contribution. When the two saw that there were four people on the other side, they knew that they couldn't fight them head-on. Before the opposite island crashed into them, they didn't even bother to disguise themselves as cultivators and decisively retreated.
The size of the island wasn't small, otherwise, they wouldn't have had any room to escape.
Following this, two people fled while four people chased after them. After circling around the island several times, they were finally blocked.
While the four people were laughing ferociously, Hua Ci used her own method. As she did so, the Spirit Qi of the four people suddenly became obscure and small mushrooms began to form.
Lu Ye suddenly attacked and instantly killed one of them.
What followed was a battle on the edge of life and death. Although Hua Ci's method worked, the explosive power of the three opponents still caused a lot of damage to Lu Ye. Even Hua Ci was hit by an Imperial Artifact. If it weren't for the Spirit Artifact dress given to her by Second Senior Sister, her abdomen would have been pierced.
After ten breaths of time, the situation slowly improved because the strength of the enemies was rapidly declining. In the end, they couldn't even use their Imperial Artifact and were killed one by one.
Turning his head to look at Hua Ci, Lu Ye saw blood dripping from the corner of her mouth. Although she was unharmed on the surface, the attack from the enemy's Imperial Artifact was obviously not something she could withstand.
Lu Ye also had several wounds on his body, the most serious of which was so severe that his bones could almost be seen, but overall, he was fine.
Four eyes met, both of them still feeling lingering fear.
Hua Ci stepped forward to treat Lu Ye's wounds. A warm, jade-green light enveloped Lu Ye, stopping the bleeding from his wounds. A numbing sensation continued to spread throughout his body.
After reaching the Sixth-Order, Hua Ci's healing ability had obviously improved. After some treatment, although the wounds wouldn't heal so quickly, they were no longer a problem.
After dealing with Lu Ye's injuries, Hua Ci began to heal herself.
Lu Ye swallowed a healing pill and a Spirit Accumulation Pill, switching his Secret Art to restore himself while remaining vigilant.
When he recovered, he didn't need to close his eyes and meditate like everyone else because the Gluttonous Meal was operating on its own, so after swallowing a Spirit Pill, he didn't need to worry about it.
This was also the case when cultivating in the station. Others needed to concentrate on their cultivation and absorb the surrounding World Energy. Once their state of mind relaxed, it would inevitably affect their cultivation efficiency, but Lu Ye only needed to construct Spirit Gathering Spirit Runes in his Spirit Apertures and switch his Secret Arts. He could even attend to other matters.
However, under normal circumstances, he didn't have anything to do, so he spent most of his time in a daze or sleeping …
In the central area of the island, where he and Hua Ci had just appeared, he had already set up a large-scale Spirit Gathering Spirit Rune. This was mainly for Hua Ci's recovery. Her recovery speed wasn't as fast as his, so it would be more efficient if she went there to recover after every battle.
In a place where a great battle could break out at any time, it was undoubtedly necessary to maintain the abundance of one's Spirit Energy. In particular, Hua Ci's mushrooms consumed a lot of Spirit Energy. Those inconspicuous mushrooms were all produced by using her own Spirit Energy and some special methods.
Now, as the island expanded, the places where she needed to plant mushrooms also increased.
However, correspondingly, the density of the surrounding World Energy was also increasing. Basically, after every battle, Hua Ci only needed to meditate for a moment to fully recover.
As usual, Lu Ye collected the spoils of war. In the previous battle, Lu Ye had received as many as five blessings from the four Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators. It was obvious that these four had killed a lot of Grand Heaven Alliance cultivators.
These four people must be from two different Sects. Lu Ye didn't know how they were so lucky to be together.
He and Hua Ci had stayed here for a few days and hadn't met anyone from the Grand Heaven Alliance.
After collecting their storage bags, Lu Ye dragged the corpses to the seaside and threw them there. These days, Lu Ye had been disposing of the corpses like this. After all, he didn't know how long he would stay on this island and the corpses would become rotten.
When the corpses covered in blood fell into the sea, Lu Ye clearly saw countless shadows surging from the sea. In just an instant, the corpses turned into nothingness. Not even the bones were left.
He had never seen clearly what those shadows were, but he knew that he couldn't go too deep into the Chess Sea. Otherwise, he would definitely die.
The second corpse was thrown down and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
It was the same for the third corpse. Just as Lu Ye picked up the fourth corpse, he suddenly frowned and looked at the sea in front of him.
He didn't know when a piece of bone was floating on the sea.
The shadows around the bone retreated.
Lu Ye stared at the bone and recognized that it was hanging around the neck of the Myriad Demon Ridge cultivator. He had seen it when he was searching the corpses and was sure that it wasn't a Spirit Artifact or a precious material, so he didn't pay attention to it.
But now, it seemed that this thing was a little unusual.
Because even the shadows under the sea were avoiding it!
Lu Ye thought for a moment and put down the corpse in his hands. He lifted the man's lapel and pulled out something from his neck.
It was also a piece of bone, the same as the thing floating on the sea.
There was no reaction when he poured his Spirit Qi into it. He pinched it with his hand and found that it was very hard. He was sure that it wasn't a Spirit Artifact.
What was this thing?
He thought that the bone had some special meaning to the two people, so they each wore one. But now that he thought about it, it seemed that something was wrong.
Because the two people wearing the bone didn't seem to be from the same sect. Lu Ye vaguely remembered that during the battle, the two people didn't cooperate with each other. Instead, they were inseparable.
Two people from different sects were wearing the same pendant. Was it a coincidence?
He wasn't in a hurry to throw the corpses into the sea. Instead, he turned around and found a branch. He returned to the seaside and picked up the bone floating on the sea.
Then, he dealt with the corpses. Without the bone floating on the sea, the shadows under the sea became active again.
Holding the two bone pieces in his hand, Lu Ye returned to the highest point of the island and studied them while keeping a lookout.
An hour later, Hua Ci, who had fully recovered, came up. Seeing the things in Lu Ye's hand, she asked curiously, "What is this?"
Lu Ye shook his head and told her what he found. Hua Ci asked curiously, "You're saying that the two people from different sects each wore a pendant made of this bone?"
"En!" Lu Ye nodded and described the characteristics of the two people. Hua Ci thought carefully and said, "They really don't seem to be from the same sect. Is it possible that they are actually blood-related brothers? This is their family's heirloom. "
This speculation was very likely.
"Who cares what it is. I'll bring it back and let Second Senior Sister have a look." Lu Ye said and put the bone pieces into his storage bag.
Hua Ci suddenly nudged him with her elbow and pointed in a direction.
Lu Ye looked up and his gaze became serious. In that direction, there was a small island not inferior to theirs and it was rapidly approaching.
