The fifth island circle, Guangpu Island, is the nearest Wanyu branch station where Xue Tong found out and asked.
The exclusive islands for the alliance are not very large in area, have beautiful scenery, and livable sea conditions, and avoid the routes that frequent hurricanes in the Hopeless Sea.
There are rows of pines and cypresses, towering ancient trees, and a simple and solemn palace nestled among them, with triple eaves, red bricks and green tiles, painted pillars and carved beams.
There were not many people coming in and out. The person who received Xue Tong was a middle-aged warrior, late in life.
"Brother Dao, this is my recommendation letter from Iron Anchor. Please take a look at it." Xue Tong said respectfully, presenting the letter.
"Oh...that's all." Zhong Yan opened the letter, glanced at it quickly, paused for a moment, and said calmly.
"Brother Taoist, please take a look. The letter is signed by three anchors and twenty-six wooden anchors."
"I can see it!" Zhong Yan's tone became impatient.
"The number of joint signatures is enough. If you register immediately in the later stage of the day after tomorrow, and in the middle stage, then..." Zhong Yan glanced at Xue Tong.
According to the rules of the Wanyu Alliance, three iron anchors and twenty wooden anchors can recommend others to serve as the owners of the iron anchor island, and the recommended person's military force is required to be no less than the mid-term acquired.
Xue Tong is qualified. Wu Qiang once reminded him to collect five thousand spiritual stones, and the registration will be much smoother.
Xue Tong understood Zhong Yan's intention of asking for benefits, but he was not prepared to do so. He immediately said: "My force is comparable to that of the later stage. Besides, there is no requirement that it must be done in the later stage."
"Really? There are a lot of people applying in the mid-term. Taoist friends may have to wait. Let's go back and hear the news for now." Zhong Yan didn't argue and threw the recommendation letter directly back on the table.
"I heard that if there is a level problem, the applicant can solve it through a trial." Xue Tong rolled his eyes and said.
"Oh, it's rare for people to open up to the trial. Are you sure?" Zhong Yan curled his lips and said with a sideways glance.
"Um"
"Okay then, go to the trial ground and wait!" Zhong Yan pointed to the yard on the left side of the house.
After Xue Tong left, Zhong Yan bit his ear to his junior brother Qiu Jun.
"No, what if something happens?" Qiu Jun said in surprise.
"The bumpkin doesn't understand the rules. He deserves to be maimed. He asked for it!" Zhong Yan gritted his teeth and said coldly.
…
The inner door of the trial ground opened, and a tall brass gladiator came out.
The Brass Horn Warrior was one foot and five feet tall, and his arms were thicker than Xue Tong's thighs. Every time he took a step, the stone brick ground rumbled and trembled.
On the second floor outside the courtyard wall, Zhong Yan, Qiu Jun and two other warriors from the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance looked down at the crowd.
"Friend Dao Zhong, is this possible? The Iron Horn Warrior is enough." One of them said.
"Of course, the Island Alliance stipulates that the trial is voluntary. There is no limit on the iron horn and the bronze horn. Those who win the bronze horn will be treated with high standards. Fellow Daoist Xue is full of confidence and takes the initiative to challenge. Our island alliance cannot be underestimated." Zhong Yan shook his head and said in a high-sounding voice. .
He is the oldest and is in charge of the Guangpu League, so it is inconvenient for others to refute.
The strength of the iron horn warrior is equivalent to that of the ordinary acquired warriors in the late stage, while the bronze horn warrior is similar to the late stage warrior, and rarely appears in trials.
The test mainly involves fists, kicks and spells to avoid hurting people with weapons.
The bronze horned man's palms almost touched the ground. Like a shiny metal gorilla, he jumped up and made a sudden move with his big hands.
Xue Tong stepped back slightly, and his copper claws grabbed the outer edge of his Gang Demon Qi shield. The shield sank slightly, and the Bronze Horn Warrior's fingers and claws were blocked. His left fist was as fast as lightning, and he hit hard with his uppercut.
Xue Tong avoided the vital point and deliberately tested the strength of the air mask.
There was a muffled sound, the Gang Demon Qi mask shook slightly, and the Bronze Horn Master's thick arm retracted.
Xue Tong received three fierce punches in a row, and the Gang Demon Qi shield remained stable as before.
"Ah" Zhong Yan and the four people suddenly stared like cattle.
"The Gang Qi Mask surnamed Xue is so strong" Qiu Jun couldn't believe it.
Before he finished speaking, Xue Tong punched out, and the Ghost Fist howled loudly, hitting the front of the bronze horn warrior hard.
The Bronze Horned Warrior flew into the air and crashed down heavily.
The stone brick floor was sunken, and dozens of blue bricks were torn apart, raising large amounts of dust.
The Bronze Horned Warrior kicked his legs, struggling to get up.
"The bronze man probably needs some repairs," Xue Tong patted the dust on his hands and said lightly.
…
"Fellow Daoist Xue is strong enough, so I will register you." Zhong Yan's tone completely changed.
"Thank you, Taoist brother, the two thousand brush fee is Xue's kindness to Guangpu League." Xue Tong put the small bag containing the spiritual stone gently on the table.
"No need." Zhong Yan was stunned.
"It should, it should." Xue Tong said with a smile.
As soon as he tested his fighting power, he saved another three thousand spirit stones. Although there were many ring spirit stones, they were not brought by strong winds. He would save as much as he could.
Give both kindness and power, pay some favors, so that you can speak more easily and get more information.
"If Fellow Daoist Xue wants to govern the islanders, he must pay the alliance fee based on the number of people and the number of islands occupied." Zhong Yan said.
"Well, what will happen if we don't occupy the island?" Xue Tong asked.
"Those who don't occupy the island usually live within the third island circle, which is equivalent to spending money to buy a share."
"Are there many people like this?"
"Not many, maybe five or six out of a hundred people."
"If you regret it halfway, can you claim the island again?"
"Yes, I can convert the spiritual stones and make up the amount."
"Well, Xue will go to the inland to have a look. It will be easier to walk."
"Zhong Daoyou, do you know what the island alliance's activities have been recently?" Xue Tong asked.
"If you haven't received a summons for temporary activities, you can give fellow Taoists a fixed list." After Zhong Yan finished speaking, he handed over a piece of tissue paper.
"I also ask Brother Tao to provide a copy of the spiritual materials and elixirs sold by the Island Alliance all year round."
"Um"
Naturally, the spiritual elixirs do not include the Tiancheng Dan, the Barrier-Removing Dan, or even the Kuizhi Dan, which is a level-breaking elixir. However, what Xue Tong is interested in is a type of elixir called the "Yan-Zhuan Dan", which makes the appearance permanent. , aging extremely slowly.
Zhuyan Dan must be taken by a martial artist at least the day after tomorrow.
Martial arts cultivators, especially beautiful cultivators, will make the Beauty Pill their top priority almost as soon as they level up.
Xue Tong is thirty-six years old and looks about thirty years old. It is the right time to take Zhuyan Dan.
He had seen Zhuyan Dan once in Chongguang, but he was still young at that time and didn't care much about it.
"Buy a Zhuyan Pill," Xue Tong said.
"Hehe, the first pill most anchors buy from the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance is the Zhuyan Pill." Zhong Yan said with a smile.
"Haha, Xue Tong is not exempt from vulgarity."
Zhuyan Pill costs 250,000 pills each. Wandao League basically monopolizes the business of this pill, and there are very few other channels on the market.
Green drops of elixir symbolize life and vitality.
After buying the elixir, Xue Tong paid the alliance fee of 50,000 yuan, and in exchange for five years, he bought a more detailed chart from the Guangpu branch, covering three, four, five and six islands.
The sea area where he has been wandering for several years is just a small area of sea southwest of the long and narrow arc island circle.
…
Hopeless sea, a waning moon on the horizon.
Xue Tong noticed an unusual aura.
The boat shook violently, and a bright blue light flashed across the dark blue water.
"Ubi Electric Eel!"
The black eel that attacked the clipper was ten feet long and as thick as a well!
The route Xue Tong chose was far away from the islands, avoiding crowded places, and favored the deep sea.
The black eel is like a giant black python. When it attacks, it ignites thunder and sprays electric flowers.
The eel dived into the sea and disappeared.
The next moment, a loud rumbling sound erupted in the cabin, the stern of the ship suddenly lifted up, and then fell heavily.
Cluck cluck...
The iron plasma machine stopped, and the nine-foot-long clipper was spinning in place in the turbulent waves.
Even if the boat capsizes, Xue Tong will not be buried at the bottom of the sea. It is thousands of miles away from the nearest island and can be easily reached by either a silver needle or a fleet of boats.
But of course Xue Tong will not leave just like that!
A huge shadow suddenly rushed over, and the black eel jumped out of the sea. It was as straight as an arrow, and its mouth with flashing blue light was enough to easily swallow a whole cow.
Xue Tong's lightning moved sideways, and the black eel jumped over the wooden boat and plunged into the hopeless sea.
The jet-black and shiny eel was like a swimming dragon, darting past Xue Tong's eyes.
Great success the day after tomorrow!
Xue Tong flew up in the clouds and blasted Lan Wangwang's thunderball explosion beads in the direction of the black shadow!
Dazzling lightning exploded in the water, and the black eel's body was completely exposed. The thick lightning arc hit the black eel, and the eel's body suddenly lit up with blue light.
The eel was like a huge blue whip, thrown out from the water, and slapped hard on the deck of the clipper.
Boom!
The hard yellow eucalyptus board fragments flew everywhere, and all of them broke in a row.
"Bastard!" Xue Tong cursed loudly. Not only was the thunder attack of the thunder bead ineffective, but it was absorbed by the electric eel, triggering a more ferocious counterattack.
Xue Tong hurriedly summoned the bone puppet and ordered in a low voice, "Kill with diamond arrows without mercy!"
A pyrotechnic bomb flew out of Xue Tong's storage bag and flew towards the blue shadow under the water.
There was a flash of golden light, and the diamond arrow arrived first.
The fire soared into the sky, setting off waves several feet high. There was a faint flash of electric eel, and a diamond arrow passed by.
The black eel disappears into the depths of the dark blue sea.
Xue Tong held the black lacquer knife in his hand, and tied the spirit rope tightly to his wrist. If the sword fell out of his hand and fell into the sea, it would be a huge loss.
Such a huge monster eel in the sea is by no means comparable to ordinary ones. Xue Tong sacrificed his treasure and prepared to kill it with one blow!
The waves on the sea gradually disappeared, and the yellow beech boat swayed gently. Xue Tong's golden eyes searched back and forth on the sea. The bone puppet made room and stood on Xue Tong's flank mast to prevent the golden arrow from accidentally injuring its owner.
Deathly silence...
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared on the bow of the boat, and the moment the black eel jumped out of the water, a dazzling blue light burst out.
Xue Tong slashed in the middle towards the blue light screen.
If he were on land, he would certainly not be afraid of the acquired monsters, but in the small space of a wooden boat on the sea, he would not be able to use it. Using a black lacquer knife to cut through the mess quickly and end the battle quickly was naturally the best choice.
There was a soft sound, and blood rained down from the sky.
Xue Tong's holy light magic shield smashed down the hut-like black eel head, and his big blue eyes looked at Xue Tong for a few seconds, then slowly closed them.
The bone puppet jumped off the mast, sank into the sea, and picked up most of the remains of the black eel. The bone puppet took out the bloody diamond arrow, washed it in the sea water a few times, and put back the bracelet.
On the deck of the yellow beech ship, black eels piled up into a hill. The ship sank sharply, and its draft was almost at its limit.
"Big guy!" Xue Tong smiled miserably and called out the vulture.
The vulture pecked out the eel's eye as big as a sea bowl and swallowed it, tore open the eel's belly, swallowed the pseudo-elixir, and then focused on the ribbon-shaped electric sac.
The ribbon-shaped electric capsule is like a long, sparkling blue snake, extending in the eel's belly.
"Why, you want to eat this too?" Xue Tong washed the blood on his face and said uncertainly.
The eagle couldn't understand Xue Tong's words, so it was frightened by instinct and tried to touch the electric sac with its beak.
La la la, the vulture's eyes lit up and its feathers stood upright.
