Daoying

Chapter 555 The final choice
Xie Huan stared at the monk in hemp clothes for a while, but still resisted the urge to act alone.

Firstly, this person is too mysterious and no one knows what kind of trouble he will cause.

Secondly, he hoped to sneak into Haidu quietly, without anyone noticing, so as not to make any noise and get into trouble.

Suddenly, the eyes of the monk in sackcloth clothes seemed to flicker.

Xie Huan immediately became alert.

When I glanced over again, I found that he was still in that distracted state.

So much so that he didn't know whether he was just overthinking it.

But no matter what, there is definitely something wrong with this person.

Xie Huan continued to close his eyes and rest, listening to the chatter of the two sea warriors, and gained a more intuitive understanding of some of the living conditions of the sea tribe.

But after the two sea warriors chatted for a long time, they calmed down and began to meditate and practice.

He also immersed his mind into the treasure flower space, observing the development of the world with his divine thoughts. Any subtle movement inside was completely under his awareness.

Those divine slaves captured in the battle of the Ancient Beast Islands have also been fully integrated into Baohua Village, and are practicing the "Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering to Suppress the Sky Array" with the village chief Bai Shi.

Among them were ten cultivators of various races. Xie Huan read their memories through the Divine Slave Seal, and gained another perspective on the situation of these races and the sea people.

He watched the operation of the great formation. At the moment, there were nearly four thousand people working at full strength. An ordinary person in the early stage of the Divine Transformation would surely die, unless there was an early stage Divine Transformation person like Hein who had unique talents and supernatural powers, perhaps he could escape.

However, the practice of this formation is extremely resource-intensive, and more than half of the spiritual energy in the world is consumed by them.

This means that Xie Huan alone must earn enough training resources for nearly four thousand people.

He also observed the evolution of the Yu bees. After a cruel selection process of survival of the fittest, the original mother bee had evolved to the early Nascent Soul stage, with more than ten bees at the peak of the Core Formation stage, and the remaining Yu bees were over a thousand.

These things also consume a lot of resources, and will become more and more as time goes by.

After successfully upgrading the world, Leila became extremely confident. She proposed a larger construction plan to Xie Huan and submitted more funding applications.

Xie Huan felt a headache and wondered if he could make some money in Haidu to supplement the family expenses.

His mind moved slightly and landed in a stone house in a mountain range.

There was a black shadow inside, attached to the ground. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a living being, breathing slowly.

There were a large number of complicated formations painted on the walls of the stone house, which released the dark energy from some of the ores and flowed it into the shadow's body to be absorbed by it.

Suddenly, the shadow seemed to swell up, revealing a rock-like body, as if eroded by darkness, with hard lines and emitting a faint light.

Not only that, the entire stone house, and even the mountains outside, began to distort.

The spiritual energy and earth veins in the sky were drawn wildly, all pouring into the stone house, and were transformed into black power, which was absorbed by the entity.

Some monks sensed something and flew over from afar, hovering around the stone house and watching carefully.

There were Nascent Soul cultivators such as Bai Shi, Yun, Hen, Lan Xing, and Li Xuan. They felt a force that was strong enough to rival them, but it was very unfamiliar.

Only Bai Shi exclaimed in surprise: "The black crack has broken through!"

Black Crack is the race that came from the Black Abyss. Xie Huan captured it on the exploration ship of West King Island. At that time, it was still in the Shadow Integration Realm, which is equivalent to the Jindan stage of humans.

Others were very unfamiliar with the power of the Black Abyss and felt a slight sense of oppression and rejection, but Bai Shi had been living in the Black Abyss. Although he was protected by the Broken Weaving of Fate, he had been exposed to it quite a lot, so he knew at once that the Black Crack was inside.

Several people watched and felt quietly.

They didn't know that Xie Huan's divine consciousness was also watching.

After a while, the distorted space suddenly rebounded and returned to a flat state. Spiritual defense flowed through the bodies of several people to offset the impact.

Bai Shi said: "It should be a breakthrough."

Inside the stone house, a faint voice sounded: "Not bad, you have lived up to my efforts in building this stone house for you."

The environment in which the creatures in the Black Abyss practice is very different from that of humans. In order to allow Black Crack to continue practicing in the treasure flower, Xie Huan studied it for a long time. Finally, with the help of the owner of the Holy Island, he used formations and some strange minerals to simulate the power in the Black Abyss. Although it cannot be completely restored, Black Crack can still use it to practice.

"Thank you, Master!"

The physical creature in the stone house heard the sound and hurriedly bowed to the empty sky.

At this moment, his body was as black as obsidian, rough and covered with a large number of strange lines, and he had a pair of strange bone wings extending behind him.

"You should stabilize your realm well. I will need your help soon."

Xie Huan said.

"Yes, Master! I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Black Crack said firmly.

Xie Huan did not respond, but left the room with his mind.

Soon after, Bai Shi and others came down and went to congratulate them.

The Nascent Soul stage of the Black Abyss creatures is called the Evil Body Stage, which can evolve the body to an extremely powerful level. It is somewhat similar to physical cultivation, but not quite the same.

If one wants to find the dark remains in Haidu, the Black Abyss creatures can play a certain role, and the Evil Body Realm is obviously much more useful than the Shadow Combination Realm.

This is also the reason why the owner of the Holy Island helped him design the stone house.

A few months later, Xie Huan's spiritual mind was still meditating in the world when he suddenly heard a sound coming from the outside world. In a flash of thought, he returned to his body.

The monk in sackcloth suddenly spoke, breaking the dead silence in the cabin: "Where are we?"

All the slaves slowly opened their eyes and turned their heads slightly to look at him.

Some even showed expressions of fear.

Xie Huan discovered that although the hemp-robed monk's eyes were still distracted, there was a hint of indescribable danger.

Soon, the Toad monk walked out of the darkness, croaked a few times and came in front of the monk in sackcloth. He opened his mouth wide, held the monk's chin with his hand, and said with a cold smile: "What did you just say?"

"I'm asking, where are we? Seventy-three days have passed. With the speed of this fishing boat, we should have entered the Prison Deep Sea the day before yesterday. We are now almost in the middle. It's still about seven days away from the Prison City."

The sackcloth-robed monk said calmly.

The Toad monk was stunned, and inexplicably felt something was wrong. He suddenly hugged the sackcloth monk's waist with both hands and performed a shoulder throw as before, but he pulled hard and the sackcloth monk didn't move at all. He said in horror: "You... quack..."

"Ah."

The sackcloth monk chuckled, and his bound hands untied themselves somehow. He placed his right hand on the top of the Toad monk's head and pressed down gently.

There was a soft "puff" sound.

The toad's head exploded, and the juice and meat inside scattered all over the ground.

The bloated body fell to the ground and was completely dead.

"Whoosh!"

A figure flew towards the cabin door at a rapid speed. It was the flat fish monk.

But as soon as he got to the door, he suddenly found that the monk in hemp clothes was already in front of him. He suddenly gathered water spirit power all over his body, took out a steel fork, and shouted in surprise: "Master, please spare my life, I am just a small fry..."

Before he finished speaking, the monk in sackcloth swung his hand like a knife and cut the flat fish monk into two pieces, separating them from the head.

The huge fish's eyes suddenly lost their light, and its two halves flew to the ground, with blood all over the place.

This sudden change left everyone unable to react.

"Fellow Daoist, please save us!" Someone paused, finally came to his senses, and shouted hurriedly.

"Yes, please save us, fellow Taoist, senior, please help us, please help us!"

There was a cry for help in the cabin.

Everyone was very excited, with hope shining in their eyes.

Only Xie Huan remained calm.

Even frowned slightly.

What he was thinking about was to arrive at the Prison City safely and then leave without anyone noticing, so that the sea people would not be aware of the invasion.

Now that two sea warriors were dead, the invasion could no longer be concealed.

Looks like we need to change the plan.

Suddenly he felt a slight chill, as an icy talisman, only the size of a fingernail, was injected into his body, instantly freezing his meridians, making him unable to move, and even unable to speak.

The numerous cries for help in the cabin suddenly fell silent.

Everyone stared with their eyes wide open, unable to move or say a word. They could only look at the sackcloth-robed monk with pleading faces.

"Ahem, everyone, I'm really sorry, I want to run away. If you shout like that, I'll get caught. And there are too many of you. I can't carry you all. I can only go by myself."

The sackcloth-robed monk waved to everyone and said with a smile.

He walked through the cabin and came directly in front of Xie Huan. Suddenly, without any warning, he punched out, hitting Xie Huan in the chest with a "bang".

"puff!"

Xie Huan spat out a mouthful of blood, an expression of horror and fear appeared on his face, and he whispered "wuwuwu", begging for mercy.

"Am I wrong?"

The monk in hemp clothes waved his hand swiftly, blocking the blood sprayed by Xie Huan with a ray of spiritual light, and then muttered to himself suspiciously.

He pinched Xie Huan's face for a few more times before letting go. He patted Xie Huan on the head and said with a smile, "Little brother, I'm sorry for what happened just now. I made a mistake, but it doesn't matter. When you get to the City of Hell, you'll be nothing more than a medicine dreg. It doesn't matter whether you get hurt or not."

After saying this, he wandered away in full view of everyone.

"Fuck you, is it enough to just say sorry?"

After the hemp-robed monk left the cabin, he locked the cabin door again. Just when everyone was in despair again, Xie Huan's frightened eyes became extremely clear. He spat out a mouthful of blood and spit, cursing as he took his hands off.

The iron chain could only lock up spiritual energy, and his physical skills, which were almost at the level of a god, allowed him to break it easily without making any noise.

Everyone rolled their eyes in astonishment and glanced at him.

Xie Huan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his body. The fist mark on his chest healed automatically. His eyes flashed with a blue-silver light as he stared outside the cabin.

Then he showed a sneer, took out a small golden bow with a lot of green vines wrapped around it, pulled the string with his fingers in the air, and a silver light gathered into an arrow, which was released instantly.

The arrow illuminated the bottom of the cabin, and like moonlight, it pierced through the cabin wall with a "bang", creating a hole several meters large, and then shot forward without slowing down.

The entire fishing boat was shaking.

The sackcloth-robed monk who was leisurely moving in the fishing boat suddenly sensed the danger. He turned around and saw a silver arrow as bright as the moonlight chasing after him.

Sackclothed monk: “?”

He had no time to think. The power of the silver arrow was not strong, but a powerful aura followed the silver arrow and immediately locked onto him. It was Hein.

"What the hell?!"

The sackcloth-robed monk cursed angrily, and his whole body was wrapped in golden light. He instantly pierced through the fishing boat and rushed out.

But the next second, a huge column of water rushed over, turning into a torrent, almost swallowing him up and smashing him to pieces.

And an extremely powerful aura is in this torrent.

"There was clearly nothing wrong, so how did they get discovered? What the hell, what restriction did I trigger?"

The sackcloth-robed monk cursed loudly and drank water. His figure flashed like golden light again and shot forward at a speed that was no less fast than lightning.

Hein's pupils shrank and he became even more furious.

He had suffered a terrible defeat in the Ancient Beast Islands and had been feeling very depressed. He had not expected that someone would dare to play tricks under his nose. He became furious and chased after them with a roar.

The water flow was almost like a tornado, chasing the golden light relentlessly.

The other sea clan monks in the fishing boat didn't react at all. They were all in a state of confusion: "What's going on?"

Some smarter ones hurriedly flew out of the fishing boat to investigate.

After Xie Huan shot the arrow, he put away the bow, took out the jade ring that Lan Lu gave him, crushed it and whispered. The power of the talisman spread throughout the bottom of the cabin, and the soul-suppressing spell on everyone was lifted.

He swung his sword again, splitting all the chains, and said, "Everyone, run for your lives. Go in all directions. Don't go in one direction."

Everyone was ecstatic and came forward to thank him, then left quickly.

"Oh no! These human slaves have escaped. Go chase them!"

Immediately, a sea tribe monk shouted.

But the humans scattered like birds and beasts, leaving the sea tribe in a dilemma. Finally, at one order, they split up and chased after them.

"How could this be?"

Two figures came out of the fishing boat at a high speed. They were Hai Shan and Wei Daying, both of whom were extremely surprised.

"Let's chase them quickly and recover as much as we can!"

Hai Shan said anxiously, "We finally have the protection of Lord Hai Yin. We were just doing some simple tasks, but why did something go wrong again?"

Wei Daying stared at the direction where Hein and the monk in hemp clothes left, and said slowly: "What a cunning person, and he has such strength to sneak here and slip away from under the nose of Lord Hein. I'm afraid..."

"Become a god?"

Hai Shan was surprised and asked.

Wei Daying nodded and sighed.

The situation between the two tribes is becoming more and more terrifying. It is no longer something that small pawns like them can get involved in. Anyone who can appear on the scene is a god.

He felt the insignificance of his own destiny. In this vast torrent of the times, he was like a speck of dust, which could fall at any time but had nowhere to rest.

"Go after them. Get as many as you can."

Hai Shan said with a pale face.

"Chase separately."

After Wei Daying finished speaking, he shot off in one direction.

A cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage escaped over there. Although his Nascent Soul was damaged, it is still of the highest value. Chasing him back can minimize the losses.

Hai Shan watched him leave, and inexplicably felt a strange emotion welling up in her. She was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses and quickly chased in the other direction.

At this moment, a calm figure walked out of the fish hold, holding his chin, looking in two directions and thinking. One was the direction of Hein and the monk in hemp clothes. He really wanted to know the identity and purpose of the monk in hemp clothes. The other was the direction of Wei Daying. Wei Daying's hard fate had aroused his vigilance.

After a little thought, the worries in Xie Huan's eyes disappeared, becoming extremely clear, and he quickly chased in the direction of Wei Daying.
