Daxia Lingxian

While he was talking, a large group of giant birds came across the sky, hovering for a while, and then swooped down in the air.

Luo Ning touched the book and learned that among the raptors in the deep sea, the most ferocious, bloodthirsty and largest ones are called sea eagles.

The sea vulture has a wingspan of two feet, weighs a hundred kilograms, and is as strong as a tiger. It can easily pick up a person and fly hundreds of miles in the air!

In the letter, the sea vulture is called the Canghai Kuang vulture, which can be seen from the word "crazy".

At this moment, a chirping sound suddenly rose above the fleet, their wings were frightened by the wind, and hundreds of sea eagles swooped down!

Even though Luo Ning couldn't see this scene, he still sensed the bomber's dive attack.

Eight hundred well-trained soldiers bent their bows and crossbows together, pointing their arrows at the sky.

"Crack-" the heart-wrenching sound of bow strings twitching sounded, followed by the sound of arrows piercing the air and the bow strings snapping suddenly.

These eight hundred soldiers are all carefully selected warriors, not ordinary elite soldiers. Not only do they know how to control sailboats, but they all have excellent archery skills.

Although the sea vulture is ferocious, it is still a beast. Under the attack without knowing the details, it immediately suffered a big loss.

Just listen to the sound of "Puff-Puff" as the arrows penetrate into the flesh. One after another, the fierce and arrogant sea eagles were hit by the arrows and fell into the sea with whine.

In an instant, more than a hundred sea eagles were shot and killed, and dozens more fell on the deck.

"Pengpeng—" The huge sea vulture hit the deck heavily with its feather arrows, its feathers flew and blood splattered everywhere.

There was also a sea vulture that was not dead for a while, struggling and fluttering, like a dying beast, which was very terrifying.

The sailors swung their swords to kill, and they were equally strong and brave.

A large group of sea vultures suddenly attacked, and nearly half of their companions were lost. They were so frightened that their ferocious flames were extinguished, and their madness was completely gone. How could they dare to be so arrogant?

In the blink of an eye, the remaining sea eagles rushed across the sky and flew away.

The faster you come, the faster you escape.

And none of the soldiers were even injured. Fortunately, he was prepared in time and fired his bow before the sea vulture pounced.

If you move slowly, someone will definitely die under the iron claws and copper beak.

"The flat-haired beasts are looking for death." Lu Pianpian scolded, "Let's see if they still dare to come."

Luo Ning felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Lu Pianpian scolding him as a "flat-haired beast".

Lu Pianpian herself, isn't it also related to the flat hairs of feather insects? Isn't the phoenix flat-haired?

Thinking of this, Luo Ning couldn't help but smile playfully.

"Why are you laughing?" Lu Pianpian glared at Luo Ning, and then understood, "What nonsense!"

Just as he was about to reach out and pinch Luo Ning, suddenly a Yanguo guard came forward and said:
  "Your Highness, the villain found this thing in the belly of a flat-haired beast, and presented it to the princess as a token of loyalty."

After speaking, he respectfully handed over his hands.

Lu Pianpian took a look and saw that it was an oval bead the size of a pigeon egg!
  This bead is not only round and huge, but also shiny like the moon, very beautiful.

"Huh?" Lu Pianpian reached out and picked up the beads, feeling warm and even soft in her hands.

Is this really a sea pearl?
  Lu Pianpian has cultivated into a mortal and cannot sense what this thing is.

The guard said flatteringly: "From a humble perspective, it may be that the sea vulture ate the sea clam. The sea clam was digested in its belly, but the sea pearls were left behind."

"Only this sea eagle has sea beads in its belly, and the others don't."

Lu Pianpian nodded and could only explain it this way.

If this thing is a sea pearl, then it is worth more than a thousand gold?
  "Well, I will remember your merits and you will be rewarded heavily when you return home. Go ahead."

"promise!"

When the guards retreated, Luo Ning stretched out his hand, "The sea pearl in the sea eagle's belly? Let me take a look."

After he became blind, the feeling in his fingers became much sharper. As soon as he picked up the beads, he shook his head.

"This is not Haizhu, absolutely not."

Luo Ning's fingers rubbed the beads, "The touch of sea beads cannot escape my fingers. This is not the touch of sea beads."

Lu Pianpian asked: "Then, what do you think it is?"

Luo Ning felt the oval beads with his fingertips and said after a while, "First of all, this is not the smell of sea beads."

After becoming blind, Luo Ning's sense of smell became as sensitive and powerful as a dog's.

"The smell of sea pearls should have a hint of sea odor. And since they were dug out from the belly of sea eagles, there will definitely be residual odor."

"But this bead is different. Even though it was dug out from the belly of the sea eagle, it doesn't have any fishy smell. Instead, it has a weird aroma."

"In addition, there is a slight throbbing of transformation inside this bead, but it does not have the coolness of sea beads."

Luo Ning showed a determined look, "This thing may be an egg! It's definitely not a sea pearl!"

"Eggs?" Lu Pianpian was startled, "Could it be the eggs of a sea vulture?"

Luo Ning shook his head, "It can't be the eggs of sea vultures. The eggs of sea vultures are bigger than goose eggs. Why are they so small?"

"Besides, if it were an ordinary egg, you would have seen it a long time ago, and would you still think it was a sea pearl? This is not an ordinary egg."

"Perhaps, this object is not an egg, but something similar to an egg. But one thing is for sure, it is a living thing."

"My fingers can feel that they are alive."

"Living creature? It may not be an egg?" Lu Pianpian frowned, "I'm afraid it's not a good thing, right?"

"This is deep sea water nearly ten thousand miles away from the mainland, so we can't be careless."

Luo Ning also frowned. His fingers could feel that the thing was alive, but he could not tell whether it was bad or good.

"This thing was swallowed by the sea vulture, and the sea vulture is safe and sound. Maybe there is no danger." Luo Ning said uncertainly, "Call the guard over. I have something to ask him."

Lu Pianpian shouted: "Mu Zhong! Come here!"

The guard immediately stepped forward and said, "Princess..."

Lu Pianpian pointed at Luo Ning, "Mr. Luo has something to ask you."

"No!" The guard immediately faced Luo Ning, "Excuse me, sir."

Luo Ning asked: "The sea eagle took out beads from its belly. Is there anything strange?"

"Strange?" Mu Zhong shook his head, "Sir, there's nothing strange about it, it's just a sea vulture."

"It fell on the deck, and the villain found beads in the stomach when he disemboweled it. So the villain thought that the sea vulture must have eaten the sea clam, and there were beads in the sea clam."

Luo Ning thought for a moment, "Bring the sea eagle over and let me touch it."

"promise!"

In a moment, the eagle that had just been disemboweled was brought over.

Luo Ning knelt down and touched it, and immediately said: "Why is this sea vulture so thin? It's as skinny as a bone."

The guard Mu Zhong looked at it and said, "Yeah, why are you so thin? Even the villain didn't notice."

He went out to see the other eagles that had been shot to death, then came back again and said:
  "Princess, sir, I just took a look and found that this sea eagle is the thinnest."

Luo Ning touched the sea vulture and frowned, "More than just thin? This sea vulture's bones are soft and its muscles are withered. It seems to be seriously ill."

Lu Pianpian suddenly pointed at the sea vulture, "Where is the arrow wound on this sea vulture? Why didn't I see the arrow wound? Was it really shot to death by an arrow?"

Luo Ning had already found out that there were no arrow wounds, and nodded: "This skinny sea vulture was not shot to death."

Mu Zhong was startled and then said:

"It died on the deck. The villain thought the arrow had been taken away, so he didn't pay attention to the arrow wound. So it wasn't shot to death?"

Lu Pianpian waved her hand, "It's none of your business, just go ahead."

"promise!"

When Mu Zhong retreated, Lu Pianpian immediately said: "That bead is ominous and not a good thing. Throw it away quickly."

Lu Pianpian already knows that the cause of death of this sea vulture should be this thing that looks like an egg but not an egg, and looks like a pearl but not a pearl.

The sea vulture undoubtedly swallowed this thing, causing it to be sucked dry of its flesh and blood.

So just now the oil ran out and the lamp ran out, he fell to the deck and was mistakenly thought to have been shot by an arrow and died.

Luo Ning said, "I finally know what this is."

He also felt horrified, but did not throw it away immediately.

"This is a Gu cocoon, and there is a Gu worm inside." Luo Ning was already sure.

"It is impossible for this kind of Gu to exist in the mortal world. It can be seen that this thing is eight thousand years old."

"This kind of Gu insect is of extremely high level. It may be of some use."

Lu Pianpian looked thoughtful and said: "I know a lot about Gu insects. Do you remember to use the divine Gu? But I don't know this kind of Gu insects."

Luo Ning said: "This is a unique Gu insect in this world in ancient times. It can swallow the vitality and blood of the sea vulture, which means it is about to break out of the cocoon."

"However, this world has become mortal. Even if it can break out of the cocoon, it has no magic power."

"As long as we are careful, we should be fine. Keep it, it might be useful."

Lu Pianpian found a wine bottle and said, "Put it in the wine bottle, don't wear it close to your body."

Luo Ning put the strange cocoon into the empty wine bottle and screwed on the lid.

Lu Pianpian said: "The sea vulture swallowed this thing not long ago. This thing must not be in the sea water. So that means..."

Luo Ning said: "It means there must be an island nearby. This thing probably came from a nearby island."

With a favorable wind, the boat speed is very fast. While the two were talking, a huge island appeared in front of them.

The island is like a towering mountain, standing majestic in the sea.

This sea area is already thousands of miles away from the mainland. It is a deep ocean and the sailors have never seen this big island.

However, everyone wanted to rush on their way, and Luo Ning, Wei Jifeng, and Lu Pianpian had no intention of going to the island. Luo Ning ordered the fleet to go far around the giant island and continue eastward.

Three days later, a huge island appeared ahead again.

"No!" Lu Pianpian couldn't help but change her color in horror when she saw the island, "Isn't this the giant island we met three days ago? We all avoided it."

"What?" Luo Ning was stunned when he heard this.

Wei Jifeng also rushed over, "Brother Luo, this island is very similar to the island we bypassed three days ago."

"Did we circle back again? But the direction of the fleet is clearly correct."

The sailors were also a little stunned when they saw the familiar giant island.

But no one is sure that this is the giant island that was bypassed three days ago.

Couldn't it be similar?
  After all, no one had painted that island. When I saw this island at this time, I just thought it was similar. I was not sure it was the same island.

Lu Pianpian stared at the island. Even with her shrewdness, she was not sure that the two islands were exactly the same.

Moreover, the fleet did not approach the island three days ago and could not see clearly.

Luo Ning ordered: "Draw it carefully and don't go to the island. It's better to go around."

Lu Pianpian and Wei Jifeng now carefully painted the pictures of the island, and they painted them meticulously.

Amid everyone's surprise, the fleet circled around again.

After finally getting around the big island, everyone felt relieved.

However, three days later, a huge island appeared in front again, blocking the way of the fleet.

"It's the same island! Yes, it must be the same island!"

Lu Pianpian and Wei Jifeng took out the pictures they had carefully drawn three days ago and compared them. They were immediately sure that they were actually the same island!

The fleet actually circled back.

The sailors are not stupid, and they are sure that they have encountered the same island three times!

Suddenly, everyone on the nine ships was in panic.

How is this going?

Luo Ning couldn't see it, but he could sense everyone's panic.

He was sure that even if he went around again, he would encounter this strange giant island for the fourth or fifth time.

"Brother Luo, for today's plan...ahem, we can only go to the island and have a look." Wei Jifeng said with a worried look, "If we go around again, the ending will probably be the same, ahem."

But Lu Pianpian said: "This island is very weird to begin with. Let's go around it, maybe it won't be a problem?"

Nothing but three!

Many people think the same as Lu Pianpian.

This island is so weird and must be very ominous. How can you go there rashly?
  Let’s go around again.

Luo Ning asked for everyone's opinions, but the opinion of going around again prevailed.

So Luo Ning ordered to make another detour.

And this time, Luo Ning deliberately ordered the sailors to deviate from the route and change from east to south.

It can be described as painstaking.

Then reality slapped Luo Ning again, and everyone else.

Three days later, the familiar island appeared on the sea level again.

"Damn!"

"God thief!"

"It's really haunted!"

"It's over. We have offended the gods and will be left in the sea. It turns out there really are gods..."

Even Lu Pianpian's face became gloomy.

What can't be better than three? Already four times.

"Turn around and return!" Luo Ning ordered, "We cannot let the lives of more than [-] people be lost at sea."

Luo Ning didn't want to make fun of so many people's lives.

He would rather think of other ways.

Lu Pianpian opened her mouth, but said nothing and did not stop the return trip.

Nowadays, returning is indeed the safest option.

There was a headwind on the way back, so the speed suddenly became very slow, and we could only move forward in a zigzag manner.

Although it was slow, everyone finally felt relieved as they saw that they were getting further and further away from the island.

But at this speed, it would probably take half a year to get back to the coast.

Three days later in the morning, suddenly the sailors on the deck screamed.

Lu Pianpian came to the deck and took a look, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

On the sea level, a red sun rose, shining on the familiar island.

It's it again!
  Even if you return home, you can't get rid of it.

Wei Jifeng coughed and his face turned red, "Ahem...Brother Luo, this is really weird. I am really going to die at sea."

Luo Ning's face was very ugly. He didn't expect that even returning would be impossible!
  It took more than ten days to circle around this strange island.

How could this completely transformed world still have such weird places?

"Come on! Land on the island!" In desperation, Luo Ning could only give the order to land.

But soon, everyone discovered a problem again.

No matter how close you are to the island, it is never far or near.

It's like a sun. You keep walking towards the sun, but you can never touch it.

Several days passed, and the fleet was approaching at a speed of hundreds of miles per day, but still could not get closer.

Everyone's heart sank.

There is no way around it, and no way to land on the island!

There is no way out on the vast sea. There is simply nothing we can do.

Lu Pianpian simply returned to the cabin, took out the clay statue that had not yet been successfully sacrificed, and began to sacrifice it again.

At this time, she had no choice but to sacrifice the clay figurine.

There is nothing Luoning can do, he is also a mortal now.

So, the fleet circled the island like this, encountering it every three days.

The entire fleet seemed like prisoners imprisoned by the sea, losing their freedom.

And that weird island seems to be a prison!
  The days passed. Gradually, everyone became numb.

One month, two months, three months...

The food and water on the fleet are getting less and less every day.

I don’t know why, but in the past few months, the consumption of food and water has been extremely high, far exceeding expectations.

Obviously he didn't eat much or drink much, but warehouses of food and tanks of water were quickly consumed.

It was like, instead of eight hundred people eating and drinking, there were five thousand people eating and drinking.

Even though Luoning sent people to guard the granary and water tanks day and night, he didn't know who stole the food and water.

Everyone knew that they were in dire straits.

"Brother Luo." Wei Jifeng entered Luo Ning's cabin with a flushed face, "The fleet only has enough food and water for half a month. Ahem... something big is going to happen..."

Luo Ningku was sitting in the cabin, and his hair was already full of white.

He turned Bai Huahua's head and faced Wei Jifeng blindly, "What's the big deal? Brother Wei is saying..."

"Eating people." Wei Jifeng said quietly, "This ghost place wants to see us eating people. Ahem..."

He coughed violently, "It is playing tricks on us, trying to make us corrupt. It kills each other...and then eats the flesh of its companions. It is too vicious."

"Cough cough...cough cough cough..."

Luo Ning remained silent and just patted Wei Jifeng on the back.

After a long time, Luo Ning asked helplessly: "Brother Wei, what did you hear?"

"What did you hear?" Wei Jifeng looked bitter, "I heard some soldiers saying that when the food is gone, will they have to eat people?"

"Maybe they were joking, maybe they were serious."

When Luo Ning heard this, his expression was blank and he didn't know what to say.

He suddenly remembered the illusion where the ghost master Wei Hua and Weihai Shengying tested him on Ghost Mother Mountain.

In that illusion, he also forced himself to eat people.

Only after he passes the test will he be identified as the new holy ghost by the Holy Infant.

"Brother Luo, what should we do if such a tragedy happens to the fleet... cough cough... cough cough cough!"

Wei Jifeng suddenly coughed violently, and his handkerchief was already a bright red!
  "Brother Wei!" Luo Ning's heart sank when he saw his friend coughing and bleeding.

Wei Jifeng, his life is long gone! (End of chapter)
