Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 82 082, mysterious fog

After sending Shen Lang out as an undercover agent, Mu Qingxue was preparing to go to sea.

Because there are countless pairs of eyes staring at her at all times in Yingzhou Mansion, once she makes a move or disappears for a day and a half, it will arouse suspicion and vigilance from many parties, so Mu Qingxue waited patiently until the fifth day after Shen Lang's departure, After a group of "Shenzhutang" troops dispatched secretly arrived, it was only then that under the cover of the team of "Shenzhutang" people, it turned from light to dark.

For this reason, she also specially arranged a substitute.

That stand-in is also the head catcher of the God Catch Hall.

It was a master of disguise who she specially called, disguised as her, put on a black cloak of the same style as her, and used the excuse to wipe out the blood shadow cult. Guangming left Fucheng and went to a county under the jurisdiction of Yingzhou Prefecture to attract attention.

She herself sneaked into a private port alone and boarded a merchant ship from the north.

After going out to sea, I changed to a fast boat and rushed to the Thousand Star Islands.

On the way, after receiving a signal from the "locator" to locate the exact location of the pirate's lair, Mu Qingxue ordered the speedboat to travel day and night, heading straight for the pirate's lair. It only took a day and two nights to arrive at the outskirts of the Thousand Star Islands .

But even if the location of the pirate's lair has been locked, it is not easy to pass through the intricate and dangerous waterways of the Thousand Star Islands.

Clippers.

Mu Qingxue stood at the bow of the boat, holding a palm-sized bronze mirror in her white and slender jade hands, looking at a small spot of light that kept flickering on the bronze mirror.

This bronze mirror is the supporting instrument she uses to receive the signal of the "locator".

Although the "locator" can only last for three hours after activation, the uninterrupted communication for these three hours is enough for the bronze mirror magic weapon to lock the pirate's lair.

Even if the "locator" exhausts its spiritual power and the signal disappears, the bronze mirror can still indicate the direction of "Shark King Island" at any time.

But it is only to indicate the direction, and it cannot be marked together with the specific route.

Of course, Mu Qingxue has heard about the complicated dangers of the Thousand Star Islands route.

For this, she prepared another magic weapon.

A compass that has the ability to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, and can guide people to always follow the correct path, avoid all divergences and dangers along the way, and go to the predetermined destination.

This compass was also made by a first-rank Dazheng. It is an extremely precious one-time magic weapon, and it will be destroyed after one use.

And it must first get the clear location of the "destination" before it can guide the correct path.

Therefore, Mu Qingxue had to wait until Shen Lang arrived at "Shark King Island" and activated the "locator" to help her lock the coordinates of Shark King Island before activating this precious one-time magic weapon.

now.

Even though he didn't know the specific route to Shark King Island, Mu Qingxue, who had a compass to guide the route, still commanded the speedboat without hesitation, and drove at full speed past the outer periphery of the archipelago and headed for the depths of the archipelago.

Everything worked fine at first.

Under the guidance of the compass instrument, the maze-like and complicated waterway of the Thousand Star Islands did not cause any trouble to Mu Qingxue.

All kinds of dangers that make outsiders daunting can always be avoided in advance under the guidance of the compass.

Just when Mu Qingxue thought that the trip would be smooth sailing, and after traveling day and night, at most one day and one night, she would be able to reach Shark King Island, an accident happened.

In the evening, on a safe channel without dangerous reefs and undercurrents, a gray mist suddenly emerged from the sky.

When this fog appeared, the surrounding sea suddenly became calm and calm.

The sound of wind and waves disappeared, and the Clippers quickly lost power and stopped slowly.

Seeing that piece of mist, and then looking at the sea surface that became as quiet as a mirror without a single ripple, even with Mu Qingxue's strength, she couldn't help but change slightly.

The sailors on the clipper were almost pale with horror, and they instinctively prayed to the sea gods of all walks of life.

That gray-white mist is the most frightening "mysterious fog" in the Thousand Star Islands.

According to the legend, from ancient times to the present, no matter who is caught in the "mysterious fog", he will disappear from the world.

However, there have never been any examples of ships and personnel engulfed by the "mysterious fog" surviving.

The only good news is that although the mysterious fog is terrifying and unsolvable, it will not actively attack.

It's like some kind of natural disaster.

It's just that Mo Ming appeared, drifted aimlessly on the sea for a while, and then disappeared out of thin air.

As long as it happens to be within the range of the fog when it does not appear, then even if it passes by the mysterious fog, it will not suffer any harm.

The clipper that Mu Qingxue was on was undoubtedly lucky.

When the mysterious fog appeared, it happened to be outside the range of the fog, and there were dozens of steps away from the fog.

It's a little bit unlucky that when the mysterious fog drifted aimlessly this time, it happened to be facing the Clippers.

At this time, there was no sea breeze on the sea surface, and even the ocean currents disappeared. The clipper had completely lost power and stopped on the sea surface like a dead fish.

Fortunately, there was Mu Qingxue on board.

Under the hopeful gaze of several sailors, Mu Qingxue struck out with a palm, and the force of the palm hit the sea surface, causing a huge wave to explode, pushing the fast boat to the side.

Boom boom boom!
Mu Qingxue slapped out a series of palms, and after a few palms, the fast boat sailed tens of feet away, completely avoiding the area covered by the mysterious fog.

The sailors breathed a sigh of relief and cheered in unison.

However, Mu Qingxue frowned deeply.

Before the mysterious mist appeared, the compass instrument, which was supposed to have the ability to "seek good fortune and avoid evil", did not give any hints.

If it wasn't for good luck, she and the clipper would be engulfed by the mysterious fog just outside the range where the fog appeared out of thin air.

But now, although she safely avoided the mysterious fog that would not actively attack any target, the compass magic weapon in her hand seemed to be corroded by some mysterious force.

Not only the pointer rotates randomly like a windmill, but the surface of the compass also makes the sound of cracking wood, cracks burst out, and continue to expand.

According to this trend, within a short while, this magic weapon will be completely destroyed.

"Mysterious mist can actually interfere with and corrode the magic weapon refined by a master of the first rank, making it lose the ability to 'seek good fortune and avoid evil', and even cause it to be destroyed in advance... The personality of the 'mysterious mist' of the Thousand Star Islands is actually better than that of the first rank." Is the real person still tall? Is the legend true? This mysterious mist is really the resentment of a fallen ancient god?"

But if it is the resentment of the gods, how can it not be active and aggressive, but only passively devour ships and creatures that are unfortunately within its range?
Mu Qingxue shook her head, retracting the speculation that had nothing to do with her for the time being, her eyebrows and eyes were full of dignity.

The compass magic weapon in her hand has been completely shattered into a pile of fragments under the erosion of mysterious power.

It even turned into gravel-like debris, falling from between her fingers.

Losing this magic weapon that can avoid evil and point out the correct course, relying on the bronze mirror that can only indicate the location of "Shark King Island"...

"My luck... well, it doesn't matter, as long as I know the location of Shark King Island. As long as I don't encounter the unsolvable danger of the 'mysterious fog', no matter whether it is a storm, a fierce beast or a sea monster, it can't stop me... …It’s nothing more than spending more real energy and spending more time.”

Mu Qingxue took a deep breath, and told the sailors of the Clippers:

"You return to the voyage immediately, and you don't have to go any further."

Several sailors were surprised:
"Master Mu, what about you?"

Mu Qingxue leaped, soaring into the air to a height of ten feet, and then spread out her cloak, like a pair of black bat wings, gliding in the direction of "Shark King Island" indicated by the bronze mirror:

"I will continue to Shark King Island!"
