"Xiao Lin, you're not scared, are you? Don't scare the uncle."
The uncle immediately panicked when he saw Lin Ran didn't respond for a long time, as if he was in trance.
"Ahem, uncle, I'm fine, I'm just thinking about something." Lin Ran came back to his senses, coughed twice, and said.
"That's good, it scared me to death." The uncle took a long breath and said.
"However, uncle, I am still very curious about one thing, which is who originally spread the rumor that there are some ruins and treasures deep in the Qingling Sea. If there was no such rumor, how could so many people have died? This is simply killing people." Lin Ran asked very puzzledly.
It's not that he thinks it's false, but Lin Ran understands that this rumor is true!
But what puzzled Lin Ran was that if the depths of the Qingling Sea were really so dangerous, how could it be possible that there were ruins and treasures inside?
It was obvious that someone must have crossed the territory of the strange beast and entered the ruins directly, otherwise it would be impossible to explain.
"I'm not sure about this, but the person who spread this rumor, no, the person who spread the rumor really deserves to die. If it weren't for this rumor, so many people wouldn't have died. It's a pity that the government failed to find the person who spread the rumor in the end. , if found, he should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts."
The uncle also said angrily at this time.
"Uncle, do you think this is not a rumor, but is actually true?"
"Young people really have a lot of ideas, but don't tell me. In fact, there are still many people who firmly believe that there are treasures deep in the Qingling Sea. The only way to get these things is to defeat that... The terrifying siren.”
"In this way, we can obtain the endless treasures in the ruins. Of course, these are just rumors after all. We must remember not to spread rumors, not to create rumors, and not to believe rumors."
"After we go to that small island this time, we have to come back quickly. Anything can happen in this huge Qingling Sea."
The uncle said to Lin Ran with a serious face.
"Hmm...Okay, okay." Lin Ran nodded awkwardly.
"Actually, that small island is also quite dangerous. The whole island is shrouded in poisonous gas. There are also rumors that there are treasures on the island, but in the end no one dares to go there. Even if there are, they will be poisoned to death by the poisonous gas."
"If it weren't for the fact that the young lady has mastered some very powerful ancient secret technique with poisonous properties and can ignore these poisonous gases, the Meng family master would definitely not agree to her going this time." The uncle became more and more enthusiastic as he chatted, and couldn't help but talk to Lin Ran again Chatted.
At this time, Lin Ran was thinking about things deep in the Qingling Sea, and he didn't pay much attention to the uncle, but he nodded slightly out of politeness.
"By the way, what are you talking about?"
While Lin Ran was chatting with his uncle, Meng Zhishan suddenly walked into the cockpit.
"Hello, miss, we were just chatting with Mr. Lin, asking about some things deep in the Qingling Sea."
When the uncle saw Meng Zhishan come in, he immediately stood up and said respectfully.
"Mr. Lin...didn't you just return Xiao Lin's favor, haha!" Lin Ran couldn't help laughing when he saw what his uncle said.
"Deep in the Qingling Sea? Lin Ran, aren't you?"
Meng Zhishan knew very well that Lin Ran couldn't ask about something for no reason. There must be a purpose. However, the depths of the Qingling Sea were indeed too dangerous, which made Meng Zhishan worried.
"No, I just asked out of boredom. The main reason is that the story told by the uncle was so vivid that I was fascinated by it for a while."
It was impossible for Lin Ran to take Meng Zhishan with him to a dangerous place like Qingling Sea, so he did not intend to tell her. After helping her find something, he would go to the depths of Qingling Sea alone.
"Oh alright."
Meng Zhishan frowned slightly, and she was dubious about Lin Ran's words, but Lin Ran didn't want to say it clearly, and Meng Zhishan couldn't continue to ask. After the trip to the island, she would ask Lin Ran seriously.
"I'm hungry too. Is there anything to eat on this boat?"
Lin Ran quickly changed the topic and walked out of the cockpit.
"There must be one, let's go, I'll take you there."
Meng Zhishan smiled slightly and led Lin Ran towards the restaurant on the ship.
The uncle also said that he immediately canceled the automatic driving and began to drive the passenger ship seriously towards the island.
After the meal, Lin Ran and Meng Zhishan also returned to their rooms and began to practice. Meng Zhishan, in particular, practiced very hard after obtaining the Divine Mind Technique, so as to break through to the nine-star cultivation level as soon as possible.
...
The next day, it was around 9 o'clock in the morning.
Lin Ran and Meng Zhishan were both standing on the deck of the passenger ship, looking at a looming island in front of them.
"The small island in front is our destination this time. We should arrive there in a while." Meng Zhishan pointed in the direction of the island and said.
"It seems that what you said is right. The island is indeed very dangerous. I have vaguely seen the purple mist shrouding the island."
Lin Ran looked at the small island in front of him, frowned slightly and said.
Originally, Lin Ran thought that he would not be able to feel the poisonous gas until he reached the island at least, but he did not expect that the poisonous gas would cover such a large area. Now he was still quite far away from the island, but he could already see the diffuse gas. The purple mist showed how strong the poison was after arriving on the island.
This also indirectly proves that the quasi-divine level poisonous beast was really strong, otherwise it would be impossible for the poisonous gas to dissipate even after a hundred years after its death.
No wonder it is called the most dangerous place on the Qingling Sea besides the depths.
"It's okay. No matter how strong the poisonous gas is, it doesn't pose much of a threat to me now. I did a test with my father before coming here. I can block poisonous gases that are more powerful than this."
"It's like this."
As Meng Zhishan spoke, purple star spirit power armor appeared on her body, and at the same time, a purple light shield also formed, covering herself and Lin Ran at the same time.
"This skill is recorded in the Phantom Poison Record. The blocking light shield can block any poisonous energy from the light shield. Unless I am exhausted, it will not disappear." Meng Zhishan explained.
"Yes, this is indeed foolproof. When the time comes, you will only be responsible for maintaining this barrier. As for dealing with those strange beasts that suddenly appear, leave it to me, lest you be distracted and cause the barrier to collapse."
After seeing this blocking light mask, Lin Ran nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, Meng Zhishan must have a foolproof way to ask him for help.
