"Island 48," after landing on the island, the search and rescue team told the short-haired guest their work progress according to the usual practice, and then the short-haired guest gave orders to a few followers as before, "Go in and take a walk... Remember, slow down , don't be lazy."

"I'm running out of spiritual energy," one of them replied, "I'm afraid it's not enough to go around such a big island."

"If it's not enough, you can walk more..." the short hair ordered bluntly, "If you don't want to, you can go back."

No one spoke anymore, and the four people who received the order consciously took a radio, and after trying to communicate normally, they entered the huge island in front of them from the dark hole.

At the main entrance of the island, you can still see the notch of the flying sword. Obviously, there have been many sects before, and they all tried to write their sect names at the entrance.Among these names, the newest and most obvious one is called Longevity Gate——in Ascension Realm, this kind of name is considered the least promising.

Longevity may be regarded as a great pursuit or a beautiful fantasy for people on earth, but in the Ascension Realm, the meaning expressed by these two words is nothing more than living.

Just as it is hard for you to imagine that a person on earth would name himself x to eat, x to breathe... because longevity is the most basic physiological function of a cultivator just like eating and breathing.

Judging from the name, this sect has no great future. ——The results also proved this point.

Afterwards, the short reports of several people also verified the speculation of the short-haired guest.

There are many sects, but there are almost no people.It was dark inside—but fortunately, the flying people's eyes are particularly well adapted to the dark, so it didn't form any obstacles to their exploration.After more than an hour, among the four people, only one person reported: "There is a person, he fell asleep."

The sentence "he fell asleep" was of course translated from the language habits of the people on earth.

If translated according to the context of the original words, this sentence should be: "Another half-dead person."

When searching the previous 47 islands, the short-haired guest has encountered this situation many times. After hearing the news, he did not put down the radio, but held it in his hand and waited for a few more seconds.Sure enough, the voice of the search and rescue team came from the opposite side: "Bring him out and give him some spiritual energy."

Since they are here to investigate, and since there are people living in the "local area", it is only natural that they want to ask about the situation.

It is undoubtedly more difficult to come out with a person who cannot move freely than to go in alone.

After two full hours, the short-haired guest saw the investigators coming out of the cave.It can be seen that his aura has been exhausted, and he almost pushed this person out with his hands.And he obviously didn't pay much attention to his movements - the clothes of the pushed person were torn a lot by the obstacles along the way.

The short-haired guest took out the spirit stone he had prepared long ago and put it in the hands of the "sleeping person".The palm of this person was originally clenched into a fist, but after feeling the existence of the spirit stone, it opened subconsciously——using the spirit stone all the year round, these flying people have almost turned this movement into a subconscious instinct , just like newborn babies will subconsciously suck anything that is put into their mouth.

This is the original authentic spirit stone of Ascension to Heaven Realm. Compared with those "earth-produced batteries" sold in the space station and Lingyan Island, it is not the same in terms of charging speed and power storage.After charging him for more than ten minutes, the other party opened his eyes.

"How old are you now?" This sentence sounds like the most common words of a time traveler.However, to a certain extent, this passive "hibernation" is essentially time travelling.

"What sect do you belong to?" This is the second sentence.

Then his expression changed suddenly: "Where is this place?! Why can't I feel the slightest aura!"

The short-haired guest has been to 48 islands, and he has heard these three questions at least 30 times.Almost everyone who was rescued by them would say this, and each time, it would take them half an hour to basically explain clearly and calm down the other person—and then they would be able to answer their questions question.

This time it is naturally the same.

The words are from the search and rescue team, and the content is concise.

After learning that this person "sleeped" in it 200 years ago, the search and rescue team had to let the short-haired guest come forward to talk about it from 200 years ago-speaking of the rise of the Nine Schools, Lingshi Feijian's Scarcity, when it comes to the Soul Devouring Formation and the severance of the spiritual veins, when it comes to the current nine factions being surrounded...

Hearing these words, the other party was almost fascinated, especially at the end, after hearing that the Nine Great Sects were about to be destroyed, they danced with excitement—there should be such rewards, there should be such rewards!God pays off!God pays off!

For short-haired customers, such a person and such a reaction are no strangers.

A large part of the reason for people who came to this kind of place to "hibernate" actively 200 years ago was to avoid the pursuit of their enemies.

And the sects capable of chasing down to the edge of Ascension to Heaven are usually inextricably linked with the Nine Great Sects.

They had met several "sleeping people" before, and after hearing that the rebels were besieging the nine major factions, they were all excited to join the battle... The one in front of them probably didn't rush because they were worried that the journey would be too far away. generate such thoughts.But after they leave, maybe they can't help but go in the direction of the Nine Great Schools.

Short-haired people can understand, after all, for flying people, life itself is too boring.Most people could use cultivation to waste time before, but now that their spiritual veins are cut off, they can't even practice—the only thing they can do is to watch the excitement with everyone.

To see the biggest excitement in the 1400-year history of Ascension to Heaven.

The short-haired guest couldn't help turning his head and glanced into the distance. If it wasn't for the task, he would actually want to see it too.but now……

"... How long has Brother Dao lived on this island?"

"It's not long," the other party recalled, "more than 30 years... Before I came here, there was a sect of hundreds of years here. It's just that they don't need apprentices—but they don't drive out outsiders. Two months before I went to bed , this sect dissipated..."

"Then ask brother, you have been to every place on this island before."

"That's natural. When I'm bored, some people will compete with swords together. After 30 years of competition, I've been to the whole island."

The meaning of sword competition is very simple, it is to compete with the flying speed of flying swords.

In the famous sect, sword competition is a very important act of examining the level of disciples.But in small sects, especially on this kind of extremely desolate desert island, the so-called sword competition is not about the speed of competition, but deliberately looking for some very complicated routes, chasing each other for fun.

The building in the middle of this island is an excellent place for sword competition, because the terrain is complex, there are countless gates and turns, and you can also increase according to your own requirements, such as everyone must enter every room... Interesting.

There were more or less similar behaviors on the islands they visited before.Of course, many people can't afford to use a sword - there are race jumps - and just use their feet to walk on the wall... It's the weightless version of parkour.

Sword competition or jump competition... In the outline of questions formulated by the search and rescue team, these are the contents that need to be asked. Have you had any accidents, have you had any strange experiences, is there a large location area between the building and the island...

These specific detailed questions are all asked by the search and rescue team, and there is no need for short-haired customers to move their mouths.But it also requires him to listen patiently...

Just like the previous 47 times, the other party gave unquestionable answers to all the questions.Everything is normal for Saijian, and he has never encountered obstacles in the air. The buildings on the island are very large, and they fit the shape of the island very well...

"You mentioned just now that it takes at least four hours to complete a complete island-wide sword competition. Most of your results have never been less than this, is that true?"

This question from the search and rescue team made the short-haired guest a little strange, because he had asked this question before, and this was the second time he asked it.

The other party nodded: "That's right."

"Even if you use spirit stones for battery life? Are you sure that the spirit energy in your body is enough to support Feijian's high-speed use for four hours?"

The other party said with a smile: "Our level is naturally not comparable to those of the Nine Great Sects. But let me tell you, even if people from the Nine Great Sects come, on this island, the time for the sword competition will not be longer than four hours. It’s even shorter. This island is basically a maze. If you’re not used to walking around, you might not be able to get out of it in eight hours, let alone four.”

"maze?"

"Yes, you seem to be able to walk on many roads, but in fact, you will have no way to go to the end. The ones that can really be walked are all irrelevant, small roads in other directions... Do you know why I came here to avoid pursuit? Kill? It’s because the maze here is so complicated that outsiders dare not chase after it. Four hours is already our best result after walking through it thousands of times. "

The search and rescue team did not speak.

The other party said: "If you don't believe me, just ask the person who pushed me out... Just where I sleep, it will take him at least two or three hours to get me out."

The short-haired guest shook his head: "It only took less than half an hour."

"Half an hour?" The other party was surprised, "Could it be that you have been to this island before?"

The short-haired customers didn't speak this time-they couldn't answer this question.

In fact, this has always been their question.The search and rescue team kept in touch with them by talking over a radio - but could remember exactly the paths everyone traveled.

In previous investigations, no one has ever lost time because of getting lost on the island.So even though they had entered this labyrinth island for more than an hour, no one had any knowledge of the labyrinth—everyone seemed to be walking smoothly.

"There is a problem with this island," the search and rescue team's voice came from the radio abruptly, "Go in and have a look."

It was not until half an hour later that the short-haired guest was in the explanation of the search and rescue team, and he probably understood the problem of this island.

In fact, everything is calculation.

According to the calculation of the diameter of the island by the search and rescue team, and the actual paths of several searchers in it, it is not difficult for him to calculate how long it would take to pass through the entire building on the island according to the normal route.

The island is huge, and the road conditions inside are complicated—but it doesn't take four hours to fly.

Note that these four hours are the least amount of time—the most familiar with the internal structure of the building and the best route to make.

According to the calculations of the search and rescue team, if the building structure of the entire island is normal, there must be a shortcut that is closest to the diameter—this island is said to be a maze, but in essence it is just a complex of buildings.Probably because of the need for asylum, the latecomers deliberately cut off certain routes, causing the path to turn round and round - such changes have been seen many times in the previous island.

But one thing is certain, that is, no matter how the route is changed, there must be a shortcut inside for people familiar with themselves to retreat quickly.

On the previous 47 islands and inside 47 buildings, search and rescue teams could find such shortcuts.

But here, the search and rescue team didn't find anything—and this is the biggest discovery.
