Chapter 2666 - 2665: His Disappearance
Chapter 2666: Chapter 2665: His Disappearance
Hearing Lin Dong say that he has a way out.
The Crescent Wolf Emperor and Aidan, both looked towards Lin Dong simultaneously.
Lin Dong then told them about the encounter with Sword Obsession Hermit.
And also informed them about the way to leave.
After listening, both fell into silence.
While they were silent, Lin Dong stood on a rock.
His gaze was fixed on the distant sea, and beyond that, the mysterious peak shrouded in mist and vaguely visible.
"To leave this eerie space, the first thing we must face is that seemingly calm yet perilous ocean. The sea beasts within, whether as massive as islands or as swift as lightning, are cruel creations of nature, capable of exacting a painful price from any creature that dares to invade their domain."
"As for that mountain," Lin Dong’s voice grew more solemn, "it is not just a mountain, but the final barrier to freedom. Perhaps more terrifying than the sea beasts could be ancient evil spirits, or monsters birthed by the force of nature, hidden within."
At this point, Lin Dong paused, his gaze shifting between Aidan and the Crescent Wolf Emperor, as if searching for some kind of resonance.
"Have you thought it through? Do you want to join us in taking this risk?"
Lin Dong asked because he had previously invited Sword Obsession Hermit to leave together, but he had lost his courage and dared not proceed with them. Hence the question.
Aidan and the Crescent Wolf Emperor were clearly different from Sword Obsession Hermit.
Like Lin Dong, they had just arrived a few days ago, naturally refusing to stay here. Even if it meant risking their lives, if there was any chance, they wanted out.
"Of course we want to leave, I don’t want to live here as a wild person for life," Aidan replied.
The days of ’working like a cow’ in the tribe made him vow that even if it meant death, he would seize any chance.
In this view, this experience has indeed enlightened him considerably. Perhaps, once he leaves, his mental state may improve.
"Let’s go find Tang Yun and Tian Kong," Lin Dong said.
Everyone nodded, then left the tribe.
Following the map, they headed to the next tribe.
There were only a few tribes on this small island, and Lin Dong, along with Yun Ruoxian and the others, took just one day to traverse the entire island.
With Lin Dong’s outer strength, as long as he stayed away from the seaside, he was able to handle the dangers on the island with ease.
Faced with beasts, he could beat them to death with bare hands, without needing the Sovereign Witch’s Soul to intervene.
After touring the entire island, they finally found Tang Yun and Tian Kong in the last tribe.
However, they couldn’t find Little Monarch Red Dragon.
Little Monarch Red Dragon seemed to have vanished into thin air.
"Where on earth has Little Monarch Red Dragon gone?" Aidan’s voice was tinged with doubt, "We’ve almost searched the entire island, should we just give up?"
Lin Dong fell silent for a moment, his gaze deeply fixed on the distant horizon, where the sea meets the sky, endless and boundless. "We’ve already wasted too much time here."
He slowly spoke, his tone both resolute and helpless, "We have searched every tribe but found no trace of Red Dragon. Perhaps he is not on this island, or he chose another path unknown to us."
"We can’t let the whole team come to a standstill just because one person is missing." Tang Yun’s voice was gentle yet firm, looking at Lin Dong with eyes full of trust and support, "Lin Dong is right, we need to set off immediately, leave here."
Tian Kong also nodded in agreement, patting Lin Dong’s shoulder smilingly:
"Don’t worry, that Red Dragon fellow is quite cunning, I think he should be alive. Probably sneaked off."
So, the six people reached a consensus, deciding not to search for Little Monarch Red Dragon anymore but to set off right away.
They spent another day, preparing a wooden raft.
Then, a group of people carried the raft to the seaside.
"We’ll start crossing once night passes. It’ll be safer that way," Tian Kong suggested.
Even though Lin Dong had the Sovereign Witch’s Soul secretly protecting them, for safety’s sake, he still nodded in agreement with Tian Kong’s suggestion.
They stayed on the island for another night. Then the next day, with the night just past, they set out.
...
The next day.
The sea breeze carried a salty dampness and a barely perceptible sweetness, gently brushing against Lin Dong and the others’ faces. Their makeshift bamboo raft slowly moved forward on the choppy green sea surface, surrounded by a layer of hazy fog that seemed to engulf the entire world in its eerie hue.
Detoxification pills distributed by Tang Yun dissolved on everyone’s tongue, a cool sensation instantly spreading throughout their bodies, dispelling the latent threats in the surrounding air, allowing their breaths to flow smoothly.
"Everyone be careful, this sea area is extraordinary, we must remain vigilant at all times," Lin Dong, as the leader of the team, reminded in a deep voice, his gaze sharp, scanning the surroundings, trying to penetrate the dense fog for more secrets.
Yun Ruoxian firmly gripped a sword in her hand, her eyes determined. Though a woman, she was in no way inferior to any man, her composure and confidence commanded admiration.
Tang Yun, meanwhile, silently adjusted the direction of the bamboo raft, ensuring everyone could move steadily forward. A faint smile hung on her face, as if she was confident in the challenges that awaited.
Tian Kong wore a contemplative look, sensing the spiritual power fluctuations around with closed eyes. His bloodline talent was special; even without Inner Qi, he could always detect the breath of danger in advance.
As for the Crescent Wolf Emperor, despite his burly figure, he appeared exceptionally quiet at this moment, sitting upright in the corner of the bamboo raft, his golden eyes flashing with vigilance, ready to deal with sudden situations.
Just as everyone thought they could smoothly cross this sea area, the sea surface below suddenly surged.
Accompanied by a deafening roar, a group of hideous and terrifying sea beasts suddenly rushed out of the water, their bloody big mouths aiming at the bamboo raft, evidently seeing Lin Dong and the rest as prey.
"Watch out!" Lin Dong shouted, preparing to fight.
Everyone’s faces drastically changed. If this were in the Outer World, this group of sea beasts could never threaten Lin Dong and the others’ safety.
But this was different; now these sea beasts could use Soul Power while Lin Dong and the others couldn’t use Inner Qi.
Like a group of common people facing demon beasts, utterly defenseless.
However, at this critical moment, a wave of ancient and powerful spirit and soul energy surged from beside Lin Dong.
It was the Soul of the Sovereign Witch, sensing the crisis and intervening without hesitation.
Only to see the spirit and soul of the Sovereign Witch transform into a spectral figure, standing aloft, hands gently waving, an invisible force instantly spreading out, shackling those fierce sea beasts in invisible chains, rendering them immobile.
Followed by this, their bodies began to disintegrate, turning into points of light that scattered into the air. Amidst this light, one by one, black crystal stones emerged.
"These are soul stones, valuable things, can be used to refine Soul Supplement Pills." The spirit and soul of the Sovereign Witch said with a smile.
Then, she picked up these soul stones one by one, gently waving them, and the soul stones were effortlessly drawn by an invisible force, falling accurately into Lin Dong’s hands.
Lin Dong gazed at the soul stones in his hand, a surge of indescribable excitement swelling in his heart.
The refining of Soul Supplement Pills requires demon cores of spiritual power type beasts and Five Hundred Years or older spiritual power-type Heavenly and Earthly treasures.
However, things are different with these soul stones.
These soul stones have the combined effect of both, replacing them, directly refining Resuscitating Pills!
"A single soul stone can refine a Resuscitating Pill. Looks like we can hunt more of these strange beasts." The soul of the Sovereign Witch spoke, looking at the sea beasts in the ocean, as if they were no longer dangerous things but treasures one after another.
