The western suburbs of Thunder Island.
Outside the courtyard.
Under the leadership of Yao Guangyuan, Qin Dong and his party finally arrived and stood outside the door.
Looking around, it turned out that this place was indeed the same as the information. It was surrounded by vegetation. Even at the door, there were sprouts of weeds. When you poked your head out, you could see that the people in the other courtyard had not come out for a long time. Or perhaps, they have left a long time ago and no longer live here.
"Even for a mortal, this person's living habits are too strange. Doesn't it mean that... mortals don't need to communicate with the outside world, and don't have relatives, friends, or contacts with others?"
Yao Guangyuan was very surprised and said, to be honest, this was the first time he encountered such a weird mortal.
"In my opinion, if this person doesn't go out, it's not necessarily because he doesn't want to go out. It's because he doesn't take the people around him, including his neighbors, into consideration at all. He's just a lone traveler!"
Yuan Tiangang's insight was astonishing. He pointed at the courtyard door and said with every word: "Look! There must be people in this courtyard. If not, no one has come out for so long. This courtyard door... must have been long ago." Once moss grows, it will slowly decay and deteriorate, but this does not seem to happen."
"Since there is someone, why does this mortal never come out or communicate with the outside world? Could it be that this person came to Thunder Island to take refuge and deliberately hid his identity?"
Yao Guangyuan guessed.
"The world's great wonders."
Yuan Tiangang said calmly: "Thunder Island is a place outside the law. No matter what kind of weirdo appears, it is normal. And I am sure that this person does not need to enter the other courtyard through the main entrance, nor does he want to contact the outside world. , this point is certain, and there is absolutely no mistake..."
"Even so, this person...can't be the person Qin Dong is looking for. After all, how can someone who never interacts with the outside world be related to people on the Shengyuan Continent."
Yao Guangyuan told the truth.
"This point is indeed very important. Just take a look and see if the blood-inducing bead has reacted." Yuan Tiangang did not say anything. After all, no one can be 100% sure who the owner of this place is without seeing that mortal. It's not about Qin Dong.
At this time, Qin Dong stood outside the door and had no time to care about the conversation between the two. Instead, he stared at the Xue Yin Bead silently and found that the bead still had no reaction at all.
If he hadn't known in advance that this bead was sent by the Qin family at a huge cost, Qin Dong would really have doubted whether it was a fake or had expired.
Looking at the other courtyard again, it was quiet now, as if there was really no one inside. This made Qin Dong feel like he was falling into an abyss, and he became more and more desperate. Could it be that this trip was in vain again?
After struggling for a long time, even now, Xue Yin Zhu did not respond, and Qin Dong still refused to leave. Instead, he jumped and forced his way into the other courtyard, intending to confirm after seeing the mortal.
Anyway, he won't hurt the other party, so even if he makes a mistake, there will be no consequences. Why can't Qin Dong give it a try?
You wouldn't know it if you didn't enter. As soon as he entered the other courtyard, Qin Dong was stunned with just one glance.
Because he discovered that on the surface, this courtyard, which was ordinary and even looked a little dilapidated, was actually so clean and spotless inside, as if someone cleaned it personally every day.
The most amazing thing is more than that.
When Qin Dong saw the layout of the courtyard clearly, he felt a sense of closeness and familiarity from the bottom of his heart, and he rushed towards his face. It seemed that this place was not a thundering island or a sea area, but that he had returned to Yanjing City, back to the past. In that Qin family.
Every brick, every tile, every plant, every tree, even the color and pattern of every brick here is exactly the same as the Qin family back then. It is almost a perfect replica of a smaller version of the Qin family, without any deviation. .
It was in Qin Dong's mind that the memory of the Qin family back then was not very deep and he had almost forgotten it, but he still recognized it at a glance. This was the Qin family back then. All the layouts and furnishings were exactly the same as before.
unimaginable!
It’s really unimaginable!
In his lifetime, Qin Dong will be able to see the Qin family again, and it will still be so inexplicable, appearing in a mortal's home?
Could it be... it's him?
Is he still alive?
But, why is he here? And became a mortal?
"Who is acting arrogant here? Get out of here quickly!"
Sensing an intrusion, suddenly, a powerful figure who had just returned to the other courtyard and was about to take a rest, shouted loudly, and delivered an extremely terrifying blow, heading straight for Qin Dong!
boom!
Before it hit Qin Dong, the attack seemed to hit the copper skin and iron bones. It exploded on the spot and was stopped three meters away, just in time to stop him.
Such a violent attack, with Qin Dong's current strength, is definitely unstoppable. If he is hit by a frontal blow, even if Qin Dong has the top-grade body protection armor 'Light Spirit Battle Armor', it will not be possible for him to defend himself. If you survive, you will be killed by the opponent.
The person who rescued Qin Dong was of course not an outsider, it was Yuan Tiangang!
"This isn't going to kill you?"
The attack failed, and the opponent seemed to be extremely reluctant. Someone was staying in the other courtyard. Suddenly, another devastating attack came out, not just for Qin Dong, but also for Yuan Tiangang and Yao Guangyuan. Inside, roaring!
"Wait!"
At the moment of life and death, Qin Dong did not take action, but shouted in an extremely complicated voice, excited and unbelievable at the same time, staring at the blood-inducing bead.
Because at this moment, Qin Dong finally discovered that the Blood Pearl was shining brightly, as brightly as a night pearl. It was obvious that he had sensed the 'target person'.
"What? This...is this a blood-inducing bead?"
The visitor screamed, and after seeing Qin Dong's three people and the Bloody Pearl clearly again, he did not take action again. Instead, like Qin Dong, his eyes were full of complexity and excitement.
Perhaps the layout of this courtyard was too important to him. After discovering the appearance of "outsiders", he immediately launched an attack to drive away the intruders.
However, when the visitor saw the Xue Yin Zhu, all the anger and worry disappeared, replaced by disbelief, and a pair of eyes that were shocked beyond measure.
For Qin Dong and the other three, the visitors are not strangers, and they are considered allies and very familiar with each other.
I just didn't expect that they would meet here and successfully activate the blood-inducing beads!
Others may not be able to tell what the Blood-inducing Pearl is at a glance, but this thing was just given away by the visitor. How could they not recognize what it is and what it does?
That's right.
The person who came was none other than Qin Nian.
The head of the Qin family is also the new owner of Thunder Island!
The middle-aged man before who would return to the other courtyard from time to time to enjoy some silence and nostalgia alone was also Qin Nian! On Thunder Island, this man of the hour can turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain.
What is unbelievable is that he has another identity on Thunder Island, that is, he disguises himself as a mortal Qin Xiao, and creates a replica of the Qin family here to remind himself that he will become the owner of Thunder Island as soon as possible and return to his hometown. Get free and return to Shengyuan Continent for revenge.
"Master Qin, you...why are you here? And that blood-inducing bead, how could you..."
Qin Dong's palms were sweating, and he had guessed some possibilities in his heart. However, because the appearance of the person in front of him was too different from his father's appearance, he did not dare to admit it immediately. Once you admit your mistake and the other party doesn't want to admit it, it will be embarrassing.
"Dong'er, now that you still call me Island Master Qin, don't you think it's too foreign?" Qin Nian smiled bitterly, his tone full of apology.
"Dong'er? You...who are you?"
Qin Dong was shocked. The other party's tone and demeanor were indeed exactly the same as before, but why, his appearance...
Before Qin Dong could question, Qin Nian simply stopped hiding his identity in order to recognize each other earlier. Instead, he reached out and grabbed a piece of skin above his chin, and gently tore it open, revealing another appearance.
