Martial Arts: The opening reward is full-level magic

Chapter 395 Dragonwood Island

There are definitely not a few people who set foot on this Longmu Island tonight.

It's not surprising that someone heard the movement.

The Poison Master subconsciously flew up and hid above the treetops.

Poking out his head, he didn't forget to wave to Su Mo and others.

Su Mo looked back at the large crowd behind him, then shook his head.

Poison Venerable was speechless for a moment, muttering in a low voice:

"I've said it all, how can you drag your family with you when you travel in the rivers and lakes...

"At critical moments, even Tibet can't hide."

Mumbling is a matter of mumbling, but he has no intention of coming down.

The speed of the person coming was not slow, not long after Poison Venerable hid his figure, this person had already appeared.

But the one who came out before the others was the extremely dim light.

Divide the darkness to both sides in a hazy moment, like a black curtain pulled apart by invisible tentacles.

Under the 'curtain', the lights set off a somewhat eerie face.

This person was wearing a black cloth hat with a piece of square cloth hanging down from the brim, covering half of his face.

The other half that remained was abnormally white, and the skin and flesh drooped.

Suddenly, it looks like white bones piercing human skin, but they haven't fit together in one place.

Plus this dimly lit cage.

Those who are timid are easily scared to death by this person.

Naturally, Su Mo and the others are bold and talented people.

Only Shi Cheng in the middle was frightened. In contrast, even Cheng Suying and Duan Renjie didn't react much, they just looked at the person vigilantly.

The two of them have experienced the rivers and lakes for a long time, if there is anything above the rivers and lakes that makes them afraid.

In the past, they had to talk about their master, but now there is only one Su Mo.

At present, Su Mo and they can barely treat them calmly, so how can they be afraid of others?
But Su Mo looked at this person and laughed:
"I've seen my husband."

The old man holding the lantern lightly raised the lantern, glanced at everyone present, and then said:
"Everyone on the island is well.

"I'm really sorry, I originally arranged for the juniors in the family to greet me here.

"But I didn't expect that these children are too playful, playing with cats and dogs all day long, but they forget the big things."

"I see."

Hearing this, Shi Cheng breathed a sigh of relief:
"I just said, how could there be no one to guide you? It turned out to be dereliction of duty..."

The unfinished words behind were not spoken.

The old man with the lamp also sighed softly:

"In a remote place, it is inevitable that the rules are shallow.

"Let everyone see the joke...

"Now I have sent people to find all the guests on the island, please come with me."

"Then I will trouble the old man to lead the way."

Su Mo smiled, extremely calm.

Zhou Wenjing couldn't help frowning. The old man's background was obviously weird. How could Su Mo be so gullible?

If this follows, who knows what will happen?
The most appropriate way now is to take the other party down and torture him!
Immediately subconsciously looked at Cheng Suying and Duan Renjie.

It turned out that these two naturally followed behind Su Mo.

She couldn't help being taken aback, and immediately sent a voice transmission to Cheng Suying in a low voice, explaining her thoughts like this.

Cheng Suying gave Zhou Wenjing a strange look:
"Why is it so troublesome?"

"?"

"You tortured him severely, why?"

"This... naturally let him tell the location of the headquarters, what is the plan?"

"Where the headquarters is, why don't we go now?"

"But so ignorant..."

"With that old devil Su around, why do you need to know more about it?"

Under this secret sound transmission, Cheng Suying calmly said the three words 'Su Laomo':
"If the opposite party has good intentions, that's fine. If they have malicious intentions...then I'm afraid they don't even know what kind of person came to the island this time."

When she said this, she was faintly excited:

"In the past, when I was imprisoned in the palm of this old demon Su, I didn't realize it.

"Now that I'm in the same camp as him, I just realized that following this Old Devil Su to do evil... No, cleaning up the group of demons is actually such a pleasant thing."

"..."

Zhou Wenjing was dumbfounded for a moment.

But thinking about it carefully, Su Mo agreed to go with the other party since it was so easy.

That obviously has a certain grasp in the body.

It's just that Cheng Suying and Duan Renjie's trust in Su Mo seems to be far beyond ordinary.

It's a little surprising.

From then on, everyone followed the old man with the lamp, all the way forward.

While walking, Shi Cheng couldn't help asking:

"Old man, let me ask you."

"If you have anything to say, feel free to ask."

This man's voice was hoarse, full of vicissitudes and a unique low voice, and it sounded in this forest, which made people feel a little creepy.

Shi Cheng originally wanted to say something, but suddenly forgot.

At last he shook his head and said:
"Dare to ask, has this contest to recruit relatives ever ended?"

He was still thinking about it.

The old man with the lantern stamped his feet slightly, looked back at Shi Cheng, and laughed out loud.

It's just that this laughter is like a night cat crying, with a faint sound of gold and iron, which is extremely unpleasant.

"Did the young man be deceived by the lie about the martial arts competition?"

"what?"

Shi Cheng was taken aback, and found that the old man was more honest than himself.

It is a lie to directly say that the martial arts contest is a lie.

Immediately, his face was full of disappointment:

"So it's fake?"

"It's naturally fake to recruit relatives through martial arts competitions."

The old man with the lantern continued to walk forward, saying as he walked:
"The owner of the house tried his best to communicate with the outside world.

"There are several excuses listed, one of which is that this is a martial arts competition.

"It's a pity that the master doesn't have a daughter who is ready to marry, so how can he get married?

"It can't be the end, the old man married himself, right?"

"This……"

When Shi Cheng thought about it, he suddenly felt shuddering.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun couldn't help but glance at each other.

Feeling that the old man was a bit too frank, he immediately smiled and said:
"Since it's all an excuse, then if your master summoned us to come to this island, is there anything else you want?

"But I don't know, what are you asking for?"

The old man with the lantern did not answer, but looked back at Su Mo sullenly, and Su Mo smiled back.

The old man said softly:
"The owner of the house has deceived so many people, the young man doesn't think he is disobedient?"

"Why bother?"

Su Mo said softly: "Since you've come, you'll be safe. You've come here, no matter what the reason is, you have to figure out what's going on.

"If your master has any problems that need to be solved, we will naturally work together.

"If there is something else we want, we can think of another way."

"The young man is really chivalrous, which is admirable."

The old man with the lantern sighed softly:
"To be honest, the owner of the family is indeed dealing with endangered situations.

"I need your help.

"However, the old slave cannot convey the details.

"Since the young hero is still at ease, why not wait until he arrives at the place and gather all the talents from all walks of life in Longmu City.

"Would you like to listen to our Patriarch's detailed explanation?"

"It's all right."

Su Mo nodded: "However, there is another matter that I want to ask my husband about."

"Young hero just ask, the owner of the house said that everyone who arrives on the island is a distinguished guest.

"Naturally, you know everything and say everything."

When he said this, he smiled and looked back at Su Mo:
"Our Patriarch, when he was young, had a good temperament to make friends, but it's a pity... Longmu Island is located in a special place.

"The surrounding undercurrents are constantly surging, and there are groups of stones like forests surrounding it.

"If you don't know the details of this section of ocean currents, it is extremely difficult to set foot.

"It's rare to have a distinguished guest in a year or two.

"It makes him unable to make friends."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Su Mo took advantage of the situation and asked again:
"The way we arrived at Longmu Island is indeed somewhat unexpected.

"But I don't know where exactly this Longmu Island is?"

"Well... this question, the old man once asked the guests who visited Longmu Island."

The old man said with a smile: "Unfortunately, they couldn't tell the reason. Later, one person put forward his own opinion. He believed that the location of Longmu Island was actually in the rocky sea area near Broken Star Bay. among."

"Stone Sea Territory!?"

When Zhou Wenjing heard this, she couldn't help being taken aback: "Could it be that we started from Gupiao Island and returned to Suixing Bay? The rocky sea area is actually the other side of Suixing Bay. It's just that the waters on that side are weird. Even the most skilled helmsman is difficult to mediate in it. There are undercurrents surging all year round, and many people go to try them out, but whenever they set foot in a section of water, the ship loses control instantly.

"Caught by an undercurrent, crashed into a boulder.

"Therefore, none of us know what is inside the stone."

"I see."

Su Mo nodded, and then asked the old man with the lamp:
"Since outsiders can't come in, why don't we go out?"

"The ancestors set the rules, our people are not allowed to go out."

The old man with the lantern let out a sigh of relief: "However, it is a long story in this regard. Later, if I have free time, I will talk to you distinguished guests in detail."

Su Mo nodded, not paying attention.

The old man with the lantern was the first to ask:

"What did the young man want to ask the old slave about?"

"Ah."

Su Mo smiled: "I heard that some time ago, many people also set foot on Guidao, but I don't know if these people are still on the island now?"

"exist."

The old man with the lantern nodded: "It's in Longmu City, young heroes, if you think about it, you can meet them tomorrow morning."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhou Wenjing was taken aback:
"Is this true?"

"Whether it's true or not, you'll know when you see it tomorrow."

The old man with the lantern said with a smile: "Young lady has relatives and friends who have also come to our island as guests?"

"No."

Zhou Wenjing shook her head slightly: "I just heard that none of the people who came to the island in the past went back. I'm just curious about this."

"I see."

The old man with the lantern nodded and said: "This is indeed easy to make people suspicious, but please rest assured, distinguished guests. On our island, although there are rules set by our ancestors, future generations are not allowed to leave the island.

"But after ordinary guests come, if they want to leave, we will never stop them.

"It's just that it's not easy to leave here.

"When you come, you should know that you are following the undercurrent and coming with the wind and waves.

"It's the same when you go.

"However, when you came, you took advantage of the foggy day, but when you left, you had to wait until the rainy day.

"Small rain is not enough, but heavy rain is needed.

"Drifting in heavy rain and violent waves at sea, then you will take a boat to the west from here, and with the momentum of the wind and waves, you can step on the surging undercurrent.

"Use its power to get out of the range of Longmu Island."

The old man actually knew everything and said everything.

He directly explained the method of leaving clearly.

As for Su Mo and others, it was certainly the twelfth lunar month when they set off.

At this moment, it is already spring.

It is not difficult to wait for a rainy day.

So Zhou Wenjing frowned even more:
"But if that's the case, why didn't any of them leave Longmu Island?"

"Of course it's because they don't want to go."

The old man with the lantern sighed helplessly:
"Not to mention that they don't want to leave, if you all know the benefits of this island, I'm afraid they won't want to leave either."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Wei Ziyi became somewhat interested:
"Could it be that on Longmu Island of yours, there are crowds of beauties, and the delicious food and wine are the best in the world.

"Can you indulge in pleasure here?"

"Of course not."

The old man with the lantern smiled: "Since our ancestors, we have been cultivating fertile land, cultivating by ourselves, and being self-sufficient. How can we squander food? Do you look like a forest of wine and meat?
"The owner of the house doesn't even touch a drop of alcohol, he vomits when he smells it."

"That……"

Su Mo raised his brows suddenly: "Could it be that there is some magical skill on this island? Before that, everyone practiced diligently and made rapid progress, so they are reluctant to leave?"

He thought of Knight Island...

I just don't know if there is Taixuan Sutra on this island.

"Hahaha."

The old man with the lantern laughed loudly when he heard the words:

"Young hero, don't let your imagination run wild. If there is really a unique skill, it will be too late for us to treasure it, so how can we easily show it to others?"

"The old man is frank."

"To treat distinguished guests, one should naturally treat each other frankly."

The old man with the lantern spoke frankly, but the next sentence was not frank:
"It's just that, what are the benefits of this island, but you have to wait for you to discover it yourself."

"Never mind."

Su Mo said with a smile: "In that case, let's just wait and see."

At this point in the gossip, everyone stopped talking.

Follow the old man with the lantern, all the way forward.

The road in the forest is not short, and among the shadows, there seems to be something hidden in it.

Occasionally, the sound of breaking wind can be heard, and it is obvious that someone is acting secretly.

The old man with the lantern said, this is a child from the island, and he is inviting guests to the city.

However, this is obviously not so easy.

After all, there are not many people who are as honest as Su Mo.

Words are long, no words are short.

After coming out of this forest, the ground under his feet is quite compact.

Farmland can be seen on both sides of the road, and it seems that the seedlings have already grown.

Wait until the arrival of autumn, you can be fruitful.

The feeling of inexplicable and unexplainable darkness in the forest has been swept away so far.

Under the starry night, the old man with the lantern had a little light on his body.

After walking along the field path for more than half an hour, I saw a small square city built on the hillside.

The isolated city of Dokdo has no guards.

The gate of the city is wide open, but there is no defense.

The streets are also pitch black, only the stars are shining all over the city.

The old man with the lantern explained to Su Mo and the others that there was no city here.

The ancestors built a small village here, and they have recuperated here for generations.

However, as more and more tribesmen came, and some outsiders came, they were unwilling to leave. In the end, more and more houses were built, and a city was simply built.

The original Longmu Village has now become Longmu City.

Walking all the way inward along the streets in the city, we came to a big house in the middle.

This is the City Lord's Mansion of Longmu City.

The lights here are quite bright, and there are servants waiting around.

After seeing the old man, they all paid attention to him, but they didn't greet him politely, and they were not very enthusiastic about Su Mo and others.

"It's getting late now, and the Patriarch has already rested."

The old man with the lantern said with a smile:

"Because the way to go to the island is somewhat special, so the welcome banquet is scheduled for tomorrow morning.

"Right now, this old slave is leading you all to the other courtyard to rest, how about inviting you to a banquet tomorrow morning?"

"Of course it's up to the customer."

Su Mo nodded.

The old man with the lantern suddenly laughed again: "The young man is really a wonderful person, the way the Patriarch invites you to come to the island is really unfair.

"However, I am also worried that if you are invited to come here openly, you may turn a deaf ear to it.

"That's why I resorted to some means...

"It's just that, the guests on the island are always suspicious.

"As a result, there are secret explorers.

"There are also those who clash with everyone on the island.

"Glaring at the old slave, beating and scolding are countless.

"But I never thought that there would be such a good guest as Shaoxia."

"not a single one?"

"not a single one."

The old man with the lantern chuckled and shook his head, leading everyone to a large courtyard.

The yard has just been cleaned, and there are quite a few rooms. The old man with the lamp said softly:
"You guys should rest earlier.

"Tomorrow morning, this old slave will invite you all to a banquet again."

Su Mo nodded, and after a few more polite words with the old man, the old man with the lantern turned around to leave, but seemed to remember something, and looked back at Su Mo and the others:

"Everyone, listen to the old slave's advice.

"Don't rush around in this city lord's mansion, and don't step into the darkness alone.

"There is always something unclean in a dark place, so don't get it on your body."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left without explaining.

Su Mo watched his leaving back quietly, and then smiled:
"Senior, come out, people have already seen through Xingzang."

Poison Venerable sighed, and appeared from the wall:

"This old ghost is a little clever.

"On the way, I poisoned him three times.

"Except for the first time, which was solved by your unknown girl, the remaining two times fell on him without any trace.

"It seems to be a body that is invulnerable to all poisons.

"This Longmu Island really has some tricks.

"It's just that since he said that we must never be alone in the dark, let alone wander around in the City Lord's Mansion.

"The old man is naturally unwilling to listen to people's advice, but he has to make a fuss."

Poison Venerable smiled and said: "You juniors, just sleep peacefully. The old man is going to explore the bottom of the City Lord's Mansion."

"If that's the case, then respectfully send seniors off."

"...You didn't even persuade me?"

"Senior has made up his mind, so why should this junior persuade him? I wish you all the best."

"...What a bastard."

After hesitating for a while, he took out a small bottle from his arms and handed it to Su Mo.

Su Mo looked at him, but didn't answer.

"Non-toxic..."

Poison Venerable was somewhat helpless.

Su Mo smiled, and then took it over, and heard Poison Venerable say:

"You kid, full of cleverness, if the old man doesn't come back to see you tomorrow morning.

"Then the contents of this bottle must be traceable to the old man, and it may not be useful to you.

"Okay, let's go..."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, disappearing into the darkness in an instant.
