Chapter 187 Bone Fragment
Three days later, the island where Lu Ye and Hua Ci were located had grown ten times larger than the original one. During this period, several floating islands were merged. Some of the islands had enemies, and some were empty.
Lu Ye wanted to observe the rules of the fusion between the islands, but he found that there was no rule at all.
They encountered the first island an hour after they came here, and there was no movement for half a day, but the second and third islands approached almost at the same time, which made Lu Ye and Hua Ci nervous. If there were enemies on both islands, their situation might not be very good.
Later, the islands that approached suddenly appeared in the field of vision, and there was no way to find the rules. These islands were like drifting on the sea of chess. After approaching each other to a certain distance, they would move towards each other.
After killing several groups of cultivators from Wanmo Ridge and having the experience of their first cooperation, Lu Ye and Hua Ci's cooperation became more and more skilled.
Whenever they found an enemy, they would disguise themselves as magic cultivators and greet each other with magic. If the opponent was a soldier cultivator or a physical cultivator, they would definitely rush up.
Whenever this happens, Lu Ye will give the other party a surprise.
However, there are exceptions. Before, they met two magic cultivators. They had a passionate exchange with Lu Ye and Hua Ci for a long time. The two sides attacked each other with magic and fought very lively.
In the end, Lu Ye and Hua Ci pretended to be exhausted and fled backwards, and then led the enemy over. When the enemy stepped into the mushroom area planted by Hua Ci, the outcome was doomed.
Once the mushrooms planted by Hua Ci were stimulated, the spores emitted would invade the enemy's body. Those spores that were too small to be detected by the naked eye did not pose a fatal threat. They would only make the spiritual power in the cultivator's body become obscure in a very short time. In this way, the strength that the enemy could exert would be greatly reduced.
At the same time, those spores would also absorb the spiritual power in the enemy's body and grow in the seven orifices. However, such changes in themselves during the battle were undoubtedly very frightening. With a disordered mind, and the spiritual power becoming obscure and the strength falling sharply, how could they stop Lu Ye's long sword.
It can be said that Hua Ci's means of killing the enemy are very cumbersome, not as refreshing as Lu Ye, but extremely effective.
However, the mushrooms she planted were not without their nemesis. The spiritual power of fire attribute could restrain the spores that invaded the body. If someone could know the trap she set in advance and use fire magic to clean up the area first, all her arrangements would be destroyed.
In three days, the two of them had their own gains. They did not get too many merits, but they got a lot of blessings from the Tianji Pillar. After the Lingxi defense battle, if all these blessings were invested in the garrison, the spiritual energy in the garrison would definitely be greatly improved.
Another battle was over, and Lu Ye was covered in blood, both from the enemy and his own. He stood in a pool of blood, panting heavily.
Beside him, there were four corpses of Wanmo Ridge monks!
This time, his luck was not good. Two people from the Wanmo Ridge sect joined him. If it were not for the means arranged by Hua Ci in advance, Lu Ye would not have survived this battle anyway.
Although he could kill enemies across levels, he also had his own limits. With his current cultivation, it would be very difficult to fight two seventh-level realms at the same time, and he would definitely die against three.
The mushrooms planted by Hua Ci did a great job. When the two saw that there were four people on the other side, they knew that they could not fight them. They did not even bother to pretend to be magic cultivators before the island on the opposite side hit them, and they retreated decisively.
The scale of the island is not small at the moment, otherwise they really have no space to escape.
Then the two ran away, and the four chased them. They circled around the island several times and were finally blocked.
When the four people laughed hideously, Hua Ci urged her own means. With her actions, the spiritual power of the four people suddenly became obscure, and small mushrooms were born one by one.
Lu Ye suddenly attacked and killed one person instantly.
What followed was a battle on the edge of life and death. Although Hua Ci's means worked, the killing and injury of the three opponents in an instant still caused a lot of damage to Lu Ye. Even Hua Ci was hit by a flying weapon. If it weren't for the spiritual weapon dress given to her by the second senior sister, that blow would have pierced her abdomen.
After ten breaths, the situation gradually improved, because the enemy's strength was rapidly declining, and in the end, even the means of controlling weapons could not be used, and they died one by one under the sword.
Turning his head to look at Hua Ci, he saw that the woman's mouth was bleeding. Although she was unscathed on the surface, the enemy's control weapon was obviously not so easy to bear.
Lu Ye also had several wounds on his body. The most serious one could almost see the bones, but overall it was not a big deal.
The four looked at each other, and they were all frightened.
Hua Ci came forward to heal Lu Ye's wounds. The warm green light enveloped him, and the blood on the wounds stopped, and a tingling feeling continued to come.
After the sixth level, Hua Ci's healing level was obviously enhanced. After a treatment, the wound would not heal so quickly, but it was no longer a big deal.
After Lu Ye's injuries were treated, she healed herself.
Lu Ye swallowed another healing pill and a soul-enriching pill. While switching to a technique to restore himself, he was also alert to all directions.
When he was recovering, he didn't need to close his eyes and meditate like the others, because the Taotie Meal was running autonomously and he didn't need to worry about it after swallowing the elixir.
The same is true when practicing in the station. Others need to concentrate on practicing and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Once the mind is relaxed, it will inevitably affect the efficiency of one's own practice. But Lu Ye only needs to build the spirit gathering pattern in his own spiritual aperture and switch it. As long as the exercises are done, he can even do other things.
But usually, he has nothing to do, and most of the time he is in a daze or sleeping...
In the center of the island, where he and Hua Ci first appeared, he had placed a large-scale spirit-gathering pattern. This was mainly for Hua Ci's recovery. Her recovery speed was not as fast as his own. , so it will be more efficient if you go there to recover after each battle.
In a place like this where a war may break out at any time, it is undoubtedly necessary to keep one's own spiritual power abundant. In particular, Hua Ci's cultivation of mushrooms is extremely draining of spiritual power. Those inconspicuous mushrooms are all assisted by her own spiritual power. Produced by some special means.
Now as the island expands, she has more places to grow mushrooms.
But correspondingly, the intensity of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is also increasing. Basically, after every battle, Hua Ci only needs to go there and meditate for a while to fully recover.
Collecting the spoils as usual, Lu Ye received as many as five blessings from the four Ten Thousand Demon Ridge monks in the previous battle. It can be seen that these four people have killed many Haotian Alliance monks.
These four people must be from two sects. Lu Ye didn't know how they were so lucky to get together.
He and Hua Ci stayed here for several days, but they didn't meet anyone from the Haotian Alliance.
He put away the storage bags of several people and dragged the corpses to the beach and dumped them. This was how Lu Ye had been handling corpses in the past few days. After all, he didn't know how long he would stay on this island. The corpses would become rancid if left on the island. .
When the body covered in blood fell into the sea, Lu Ye clearly saw countless shadows rolling up from under the sea. In just a moment, the body turned into nothing, not even the bones were left.
He has never seen clearly what those shadows are, but he knows that he must not go deep into this chess sea, otherwise he will definitely die.
The second body was dropped and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The same was true for the third body. As soon as Lu Ye picked up the fourth body, he suddenly frowned and looked into the sea water in front of him.
I don't know when a bone fragment floated on the sea.
Near the bone fragments, shadows recede.
Lu Ye stared at the bone fragment and recognized that it was hanging on the neck of the monk from Ten Thousand Demon Ridge. He had seen it before when he touched the corpse. He was sure that this thing was not a spiritual weapon or precious material, so he did not do anything. Pay attention.
But now it seems that this thing seems a little unusual.
Because even the shadows under the sea are avoiding it!
Lu Ye thought for a while, put down the body in his hands, opened his clothes, and grabbed something from the other person's neck.
This is also a piece of bone, the same thing floating on the sea.
I poured spiritual power into it, but there was no response. I squeezed it with my hand and it was very hard. I was sure that it was indeed not a spiritual material.
What the hell is this?
He originally thought that the bone fragments had some special meaning to the two of them, so they each wore one, but looking back now, something seemed wrong.
Because the two guys wearing bone fragments did not seem to belong to the same sect, Lu Ye vaguely remembered that during the battle, the two did not cooperate with each other, but were inseparable from others.
Two people from different sects wear the same pendant. Is it a coincidence?
He did not rush to throw the body into the sea, but turned around to find a branch, returned to the seaside, and retrieved the bone fragments floating on the sea.
After the body was disposed of again, the bone fragments were no longer floating on the sea, and the shadows under the water became active again.
Holding two bone fragments in his hand, Lu Ye returned to the highest point of the island, while vigilant and studying.
An hour later, Hua Ci, who had fully recovered, walked up. When he saw the thing in Lu Ye's hand, he asked curiously: "What is this?"
Lu Ye shook his head and told what he had discovered. Hua Ci asked curiously: "You mean those two people from different sects each wore a pendant made of this bone fragment?"
"Yeah!" Lu Ye nodded, and then described the characteristics of the two people. Hua Ci thought about it carefully: "They don't seem to be from the same sect. Is it possible that they are actually blood-related brothers? Is this true? A legacy of their family.”
This conjecture is quite possible.
"Whatever it is, just take it back and show it to Second Senior Sister." Lu Ye said this and put the bone fragments into the storage bag.
Hua Ci suddenly touched him with her elbow and pointed in a direction.
Lu Ye raised his eyes and looked solemnly. In that direction, there was a small island no less big than theirs, approaching quickly.
