The silence of the night is a bit eerie, even in summer. The mountains are still cold, and not even a sound of insects can be heard. Occasionally, the howls of wild beasts are heard, accompanied by echoes from the mountains, like the cries of hell. Desperate, devoid of any warmth.
Ye Yin's door was knocked open, and he looked at Feiyu, who was wearing a bathrobe and looking bright and moving. He was slightly surprised: "At this time, if you come into my room wearing a bathrobe, you will be misunderstood. We have something."
"But I believe you are not that kind of person. I have something I want to discuss with you." After Feiyu finished speaking, he looked at his watch: "Ten minutes."
"you say!"
Ye Yin welcomed Feiyu into the room and handed the brewed tea to Feiyu.
"Thank you!" Feiyu glanced at Ye Yin, with some worry in his eyes: "Ye Xiu said that they encountered a mutant beast, a group of flying insects."
"Our routes are different. I'm afraid, even if you want to help, you won't be able to help." Ye Yin sat opposite Feiyu, holding the pen in his hand and recording something quickly in his notebook.
"Aren't you worried about the situation between him and Fang Qing?" Feiyu glanced at Ye Yin and was stunned for a moment: "Although you can't help him, you can also use your clone to help him, right? I, I He also knows how to clone himself."
"You want us to create a clone together to protect him?" Ye Yin asked doubtfully: "I'm afraid, my brother is not that fragile, and he won't need our protection. Besides, the clones are so weak, so you just Not worried about attracting attention?”
"Of course I'm worried, but I'm still worried about Ye Xiu and Fang Qing. Without the instructor, they have to face so many mutant beasts alone. If they are injured..."
"Does having one more clone of you and me guarantee that they won't be hurt?" Ye Yin glanced at Feiyu and asked doubtfully, "You've never been so irrational, what's wrong with you?"
"My clone technique is limited and my strength is not strong. But your clone is stronger than mine and may be able to help them. Besides, when they face the mutant beasts, they will definitely make a big move. There is movement. Although there are relatively few patrols in the back mountain, they will eventually be discovered by the patrols because of the movement." Feiyu said anxiously: "They are not only our teammates, but also our relatives, aren't they?"
"I believe that Ash can come up with countermeasures. You should also believe that the cooperation between the two of them can protect you. Don't you?" Ye Yin said.
"Of course I know they have fusion skills, but, I'm still worried." Feiyu suddenly lowered his voice: "Don't you think, the instructor uses a clone to replace himself, and his real body acts alone. This arrangement is very difficult. Is it strange?"
"You want to say that it is very possible that the instructor and Miss Nobuko have known about this arrangement for a long time? But, they arranged it like this deliberately. The purpose is to deliberately treat Axiu and Fang Qing as victims?" Ye Yin stopped writing, His brows furrowed slightly.
"It's not impossible. Only by giving up can you gain. Without sacrifice, where will the gain come from?" Nobuko said.
"But what benefit will this bring to everyone? Will it indirectly cause conflicts?" Ye Yin asked doubtfully.
"No, I feel that this operation is not as simple as obtaining the fixing stone. I always feel that they have another purpose. Moreover, this purpose hides a conspiracy. Do you think that if you take risks with your own life, it is just to help If you improve the progress of your cultivation, the sacrifice is too great. Besides, no one can be sure whether you can stay after your cultivation is successful. Taking risks for uncertain things is not the style of the legion at all." Feiyu said .
"Whoosh" A flying stone suddenly broke through the window and flew towards Ye Yin. Hagakure quickly dodged and took over with one hand. The flying stone spun in the palm of my hand for a while before slowly stopping.
"This stone actually penetrated the anti-theft net and the glass window continuously without any movement?" Feiyu asked in surprise.
In order to prevent the invasion of mutants, almost all homes and hotels have installed extremely heavy anti-theft nets on their windows. And the materials are often above wood.
"Here comes a master!"
"Could it be that he heard our conversation?" Feiyu asked doubtfully.
"It's hard to say, go to Nobuko's room and have a look. I'll go out and meet him!" Ye Yin said.
"Well, Nobuko also needs protection!"
Feiyu and Ye Yin looked at each other, gave each other a knowing look, and immediately opened the door and walked out.
Ye Yin turned into a black smoke on the spot, and his figure recovered again on the roof of the hotel.
At this moment, a fisherman wearing a shabby raincoat, holding a fishing rod, and wearing a bamboo hat, who was only 1.6 meters tall, was facing away from Ye Yin.
"It can make simple stones penetrate five-meter-high windows and security nets and fly directly towards the target. Ordinary people will never be able to do this. Who are you and why do you do this?" Ye Yin asked.
The man turned around, with a pair of shining golden eyes aimed firmly at Ye Yin. But his face was covered, so the security couldn't see his appearance clearly.
"My name is the ferryman, and I am a fisherman on the island. Are you the merchants who want to do business on the island?"
"Yes, you want to stop us?" Ye Yin asked.
"I'm just here to tell you a situation. It's up to you to decide whether to go or not." The ferryman observed Ye Yin carefully and continued: "A large number of mutated creatures have appeared on the island. Most of the foreign businessmen have not only lost their money, but also their money." They were deprived of it and even dragged to feed those mutated creatures. I just came down from the mountain, so I know the situation best," the ferryman said.
"So, you want us to give up going up the mountain and leave here?" Ye Yin asked doubtfully.
"There is a person following you along the way. He is a subordinate of the island leader. This person's name is Feng Feng. I will help you catch him." The ferryman shouted into the dark: "Bring him up!"
Several fishermen in similar clothes dragged up Feng Feng, who had a lightning tattoo on his left eye, and threw him in front of Ye Yin. Feng Feng's face was covered with scars and he was panting.
"How you deal with this man is up to you, but if you don't deal with him, he will die soon." The ferryman said.
"What's the purpose of helping us like this?" Ye Yin asked doubtfully.
"The Shadow Island has never welcomed anyone, including you who possess dark energy. However, the Shadow Island now is different from the past. It's best if you don't go to the island. If you insist on going to the island, be cautious."
After the ferryman finished speaking, he was about to turn around, but was blocked by Ye Yin.
"If you don't tell me why you want to help us, I won't let you go." Ye Yin smiled and said, "I am a person who doesn't like to owe favors.
"Don't waste time. It would be useful to ask him what happened on the island." The ferryman said.
"You know, why don't you tell me yourself?" Ye Yin asked.
"Because, I think you owe me. One day, you and I will meet again."
More than a dozen stones flew towards Ye Yin silently from all directions. Ye Yin ducked in place, leaving a miniature whirlpool. Just as he was about to wave his hand to fight back, unexpectedly, the figure of the ferryman had already leaped across the rooftops in the distance and quickly disappeared.
Ye Yin turned around and pulled Feng Feng over.
"Who asked you to follow us? What is your purpose?"
"Haha, even if I die, I won't do it, a traitor who sells his goods for glory!" Feng Feng gasped, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Of course, I can also give you a hint, all this, your colonel, Miss Nobuko .all know!"
"What are the benefits of framing her?" Ye Yin said: "Even if we are not allowed to go to the island, we can still find a way to get to the island. You are so loyal, and by this time, your boss has not come to save you. ?"
"Oh, you will die on this island just like those people, in the hands of our brothers! Hahaha!"
Just as Feng Feng was laughing wildly, a large amount of blood began to flow out of his body. In the end, he clutched his neck, twitched in pain, and fell into a pool of blood.
"Beautiful! You personally solved such a difficult guy!"
Xinzi and Feiyu appeared on the roof at the same time, each holding a cup of tea.
"I didn't do it, someone sent him to me. When that person sent him to me, he was already like this." Ye Yin said.
"This is also what confuses me. Why does this person want to help us? What do we have that is worthy of his help? Don't you think it's strange?" Nobuko asked.
"What's strange is that this man says he is a ferryman and dresses like a fisherman. But his strength is not bad. I am not as good as him." Ye Yin said.
"Ferryman?" Xinzi frowned and said, "It seems that it is not just one force that is following us. What did he say?"
"He said that the island is very dangerous now. Most of the foreign businessmen have had their property taken away and were dragged away to feed mutant creatures." Ye Yin said.
"Mutated creatures?" Nobuko's face suddenly darkened: "Mutated creatures that were fed by people..."
"Miss Nobuko, do you know anything?" Ye Yin asked doubtfully.
"If your guess is correct, there should be some force on Shadow Island secretly cultivating new viruses. Creatures infected by evolutionary viruses will become weapons for feeding people. In this way, our plan will be even more difficult to complete. Got it!" Xinzi said.
"New virus? Can you be more specific?" Feiyu asked.
"It should be a new type of virus based on the evolution of natural viruses." Nobuko frowned: "But which force is so capable?"
"Feng Feng said before he died, Miss Xinzi, do you know everything here?" Ye Yin asked.
"If you want to go to the island to get the Focusing Stone, you naturally have to know something about this place. But now, I'm afraid the situation is already different from what I thought!" Nobuko frowned.
"So, what should we do next?" Ye Yin asked.
Nobuko turned around and went downstairs: "I have my own plan. Let's set off tomorrow to the top of the mountain!"
Seeing Xinzi leave, Feiyu stepped forward and looked at Ye Yin seriously: "It seems that Xinzi is also unaware of something."
"So, your suspicion has been cleared?" Ye Yin said.
"I can't tell, it's too complicated." Feiyu said.
"Feiyu, if she really has any other purpose, I won't let her hurt us so easily. I also believe that Ye Xiu and Fang Qing can protect themselves when facing mutant creatures. Clone After all, our energy and strength are limited, and we have no wisdom. Even if we send more people, I am worried that we will be intercepted halfway and our efforts will fall short." Ye Yin said.
"I discussed it with Miss Nobuko, but she didn't agree to let me meet Ye Xiu alone." Feiyu said, "Since you said that, I just hope that Ye Xiu and Fang Qing can be happy for themselves."
Feiyu sighed helplessly, turned around and went downstairs.
On the other side, Ye Xiu and Fang Qing received news of mutated creatures in the cave. But what they didn't expect was that no matter how hidden it was. The group of mutated cockroaches still found them.
Just outside the cave where they were lurking, a swarm of mutated cockroaches the size of puppies surrounded the land where they were hiding. Use your sharp claws to push away the thick soil and try to break through the hard rock above the cave.
"What to do? We are surrounded!" Fang Qing was a little panicked.
"It's not like we haven't seen how they ate the orangutan. Apart from sharp teeth and stronger limbs, they are the same as ordinary cockroaches," Ye Xiu said.
"But they come in groups, can the two of us handle them?" Fang Qing asked worriedly.
"Of course, it just depends on how fast we are!"
After saying that, a clearer voice emerged from above the cave. It was the swarm of cockroaches, scratching the ground, the sound of gravel.
Ye Xiu gathered strength in his palms, and golden cyclones emerged around him. Immediately, it slowly gathered in the palm of his hand.
"Fang Qing, I will break through the cave later. Remember to cast a spell to protect me. Also, summon lightning in time, understand?" Ye Xiu said.
"Okay, okay."
A strong air wave penetrated the stone cave and flew out in all directions. The cockroaches surrounding the cave collectively waved their wings and stood up, circling around.
Ye Xiu jumped out of the cave, and the glass-like protective shell around him instantly condensed. A ball of thunder and lightning fell, met with a dragon shadow-like cyclone, and flew around Ye Xiu and Fang Qing. When it landed, a powerful electric light erupted.
The mutant cockroach swarm became chaotic, and they flapped their wings crazily. Most of them struggled and fell to the ground after being hit by the circling lightning. The remaining small number also had their limbs broken and flew away in a hurry.
"Wow! Ye Xiu! You killed so many cockroaches so easily?" Fang Qing said in surprise.
"It's not me, it's us." Ye Xiu stopped and was sweating profusely: "Tell me, will anyone notice what we just did?"
Fang Qing glanced at the dark jungle nervously and said softly: "It's hard to say! I don't know either!"
"Just in case, we'd better get out of here first!"
Ye Xiu took Fang Qing and went up the mountain according to the plan, but unexpectedly, they didn't go long. There was another loud "Puff" sound from behind, and it sounded like there were much more people than the group just now.
Ye Xiu and Fang Qing looked at each other and reacted quickly. The two of them dodged and rushed towards the upward mountain road, not daring to stop for a moment.
"According to the flying speed of the group of cockroaches just now, no matter how fast we run, we will be overtaken very quickly." Ye Xiu said.
"What should we do?" Fang Qing asked doubtfully.
"This group of cockroaches can continue to fly during the pursuit. But once they attack people, they will stick to the ground. Our physical strength cannot always be very good. So, I suggest..."
