Chapter 286 Returning to the Trial Island

Kage and Aoki fell silent again after finishing what they had to say.

At Yage's suggestion, Aoki picked up the teacup and took a slow sip.

In fact, Aoki likes tea and coffee very much.

It was bitter at first, and then the bitterness gradually faded away, and a faint sweetness appeared in the mouth.

The sweetness and bitterness are sharply contrasted to highlight its true taste.

Aoki doesn't care about what kind of tea or what kind of coffee, he just likes the aftertaste after drinking it, which is different from someone like Ying who pays attention to the tea ceremony.

Aoki drank all the tea in the cup, and the bitterness in his mouth became more and more intense.

Shadow shook his head and poured Aoki a glass again.

It is also rare for Aoki to be able to pour water from a heavenly king-level powerhouse.

"It's a bit of a waste for you to drink this kind of good tea." Ying said lightly, a little sigh, but more of a sigh.

The hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and Aoki said with a smile, "For me, it doesn't matter what kind of tea or what kind of tea ceremony, the important thing is that the bitterer the tea, the stronger the final aftertaste."

Ying Ying was stunned when tasting the tea. Aoki's words didn't sound like what someone of his age said. Even if he had experienced more than other people of his age, it didn't sound like what he said.

Without making the two wait long, the boat opened.

Originally, Shadow was waiting for the arrival of Aoki, but now Aoki has arrived. Although their boatswain has been sent to first aid due to excessive blood loss, the boatswain is not very important, is it?

Just do it by someone else.

Team Rocket’s cargo ship was still unremarkable. It drove to Trial Island according to a special route. The ship was loaded with various materials.

...

In a luxurious room, there is a thin middle-aged man, looking at the video phone on the wall, resting his head with one hand, listening to the reports of his subordinates.

If Aoki was here, he might be able to recognize that the person on the video call was the captain who had appeared on the freighter earlier.

I saw that he was very respectful now, and told what happened before, word for word.

After listening to the report, the emaciated middle-aged man said with a smile, "So, you are a brigade leader and a squadron leader, you couldn't find out the details of that kid, and you have been dismissed for nothing?"

There was a smile on his face when he spoke, but whoever saw it would not think he was smiling very happily.

Immediately, a lot of sweat appeared on the captain's face.

Then he immediately said what the shadow had said.

"Oh? I heard that his last mission failed and his strength was severely damaged.

If it was in the past, I still respected him for three points, but now...I only know after playing. "

According to the strength of the Heavenly King, Yingying is much stronger than him, but the last time Yingying's strength was greatly damaged, no one knows the specific strength now.

"Forget it, it's not interesting, you go tell that stinky boy, if I don't get the results I want this time, go to the Death Warriors team, and next time I start a war with the Alliance, let him be the first."

"Yes!" The captain quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

Now it is a dead Taoist friend who does not die a poor Taoist.

The video call was turned off, but the emaciated middle-aged man's expression turned gloomy, "Shadow team, do you think it's the previous shadow team?"

...

Two days later.

Team Rocket's freighter successfully arrived at Trial Island.

In the past two days, except for Aoki and Ying sitting together and drinking tea at the beginning, they were all tinkering with things that might be used on the Trial Island in their own room.

The first is to prepare for those subordinates that Aoki had conquered on the Trial Island before.

I have been away for such a long time, how many people still follow me, I don't know.

In other words, how many people really follow him, Aoki doesn't know, and he doesn't want to find out.

It's just that after leaving the Trial Island this time, those who choose to follow themselves, no matter what they planned before, must choose to be loyal to themselves in the future.

This is the standard Aoki sets for these people.

And what he fiddled with in the room was also related to this purpose.

I didn't see Ying again for two days, and when Aoki got off the boat, I didn't see him either.

Perhaps, after Aoki got on the ship, Shadow had already left.

Heavenly King-level powerhouse, do you still need to take a boat all the time to come here?

Maybe not.

The shadow disappeared without hesitation.

Aoki stepped on this bloody muddy land, and a mixed smell of fishy and earthy smells came from the pavement.

Here is the Trial Island.

If you look from the outside, you can't actually see the whole picture of Trial Island. If you say that it is an island, it is better to say that it is a small land, because Aoki still doesn't know how deep the Trial Island is.

But to be able to draw out such an unknown place at sea, I have to say that the Rockets' strength is amazing.

It is also possible that the place can only be reached by taking the exclusive ship of the Rockets.

Because when Aoki came, there were no windows in the cabin, and after actually sailing into the sea, Aoki was told that he was not allowed to leave his room, and he could not leave his room until he was about to arrive.

So how to come to this place, I don't know, how to leave, Aoki only has a general direction.

The Rockets' protection of this place is very strict.

The sailors were busy carrying their cargo, and no one paid any attention to Aoki.

In this way, Aoki quietly returned to the trial island, and there was only one day left until the end of the three-month trial.

Dark Raven stood on Aoki's shoulders, walked on the land that was still somewhat familiar, and slowly walked towards the Rocket's base.

There was no one on the way.

In the original base of 300 people, there may be less than 100 people now.

In the previous life, Aoki did not leave the island temporarily, so he experienced the cruelty of the trial island throughout the whole process, and also knew that the later stage, the bloodier it would become.

After walking through the familiar long passage, we entered the square of the base again.

There was still a dark trial stone standing in the middle of the square. It was no longer shiny, but was stained with some blood, but no one cleaned it.

The temporary battle field where Aoki fought Guga was still there, but the dried blood on it was everywhere.

From this, you can imagine how cruel the Trial Island was in the later time.

Aoki just glanced at it, ignoring the bloody smell, and strolled to the temporary building built by Gu Jia and his subordinates.

After entering the base, he still didn't see anyone, which made Aoki a little surprised.

No matter how many people died, there wouldn't be many people in Team Rocket's base, right?

Don't venomous snakes care?

Slowly, Aoki realized that it was not that there was no one left, but because the final trial was about to begin tomorrow, so these people were no longer in the mood to intrigue, return to their own forces, and fight for the last chance of survival. .

Those who can qualify are recharging their energy, and those who cannot qualify are frantically looking for the thighs that can keep them alive.
