Bankruptcy beast.

island.

sandy beach.

Jiang Chen lay leisurely on the recliner, enjoying this rare quiet time.

He sent Fa Cai and Bai Ban out to explore the isolated island. One is indestructible, and the other is an immortal cockroach, so they are perfect for this kind of thing.

As for Jiutong, he always stayed by Jiang Chen's side, playing the role of a qualified housekeeper.

Because of the dragnet, Jiutong can sense the movements in a very large range without leaving the house, so there is no need to run around.

As for those beyond the scope of the dragnet, the shadow beasts can take care of them.

There are twelve shadow beasts, six of which are at the star level. They can walk sideways in most forbidden areas, not to mention just exploring an isolated island with a high probability of no life.

Through the connection of the contract, Jiang Chen can grasp the exploration progress of Fa Cai and White Board in real time.

Although the entire exploration has not been completed, so far, the two pets have not found any extraordinary existence on this isolated island.

In short, this is an ordinary island.

“Although it’s a pity that I don’t have extraordinary resources, it would be nice to be able to control an abandoned place.”

Jiang Chen silently comforted himself. Although he failed to achieve the main goal, he had successfully tested the ability of the stone gate.

Apart from that, this abandoned land was also an unexpected gain.

The absence of extraordinary creatures also means the absence of danger.

"Tsk... I'll go find Wen Quan and research whether we can build a space teleportation device here. It would be great if we can."

Jiang Chen stretched lazily. This kind of thing might be difficult for other people, but for Wen Quan, who was born in Tianqi University and had the support of Morning Star, it was not a big problem.

Now that I think about it, the area they were teleported to during the group battle in the evaluation competition was most likely this kind of abandoned place!
"No wonder the Federation is so eager to take control of the forbidden land. Even if it is an abandoned place like this, it will be quite good if it is well developed."

The biggest conflict between the Federation and the wilderness is the fight for a place to survive, and independent and safe areas such as abandoned lands are definitely the best choice.

As long as it is developed well, it will be like having an extra way out in the future.

Da da!

A golden light descended from the sky and landed steadily in front of Jiang Chen.

"How was it? How was the harvest?"

Jiang Chen stood up and asked.

Ta da~

Fa Cai stretched out his paw, drew a big circle in the air, and then made a cross. The meaning was self-evident.

There is really nothing in this place except plants, not even snakes, insects, rats or ants can be found.

"Sure enough."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly. The abandoned land was not qualified to give birth to spirits. Even creatures that originally had intelligence would be wiped out when they were abandoned.

In other words, apart from these unintelligent plants and the island itself, there are no other living creatures here.

The results of the exploration of making a fortune also confirmed this.

"But why hasn't the whiteboard come back yet?"

Jiang Chen looked around in confusion. With the presence of the Wusheng Quicksand, the flying speed of the white board did not slow down at all. Logically, the exploration should have been completed by then.

Jiang Chen immediately used the contract to sense the location of the whiteboard, but found that the whiteboard had appeared on the sea far away from the island at some point.

"Why did this guy go there..."

Jiang Chen was speechless. Even after being promoted to gold level, this guy was still as unreliable as ever.

"Forget it, just consider it as exploring the sea area in advance."

It is obvious that the scope of this abandoned land is not limited to this small island, the surrounding sea area also needs to be explored.

Of course, Jiang Chen didn’t actually think there would be any living creatures in the sea.

Even on ordinary islands, there would be amphibians coming here to look for food or reproduce, but Jiutong had just checked all the beaches in the surrounding area, and there was no trace of any amphibians, let alone any biological activity.

This perfectly fits the characteristics of an abandoned land, but out of caution, Jiang Chen still plans to explore it.

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

But when Jiang Chen saw Bai Ban swimming towards them with a sea fish in his mouth, the cautious worry in Jiang Chen's heart instantly occupied his entire mind.

There are living creatures in this world!

This means that this is not an abandoned place at all!
So where did the creatures in this world go?

Jiang Chen's expression suddenly darkened, and more than a dozen possible threats emerged in his mind.

"Jiu Tong, can your perception range extend to the depths of the ocean?"

Jiutong shook his head. Although the coverage of the Heaven and Earth Net was very wide, even in an ordinary ocean, the pressure at deep depths would greatly affect the deployment of the Heaven and Earth Net, and would naturally interfere with its perception range.

If not for this, Jiutong would definitely have discovered the existence of these sea fish earlier than Baiban.

"Let's go down and take a look together."

Jiang Chen quickly put on a full set of diving equipment and dived into the seabed under the protection of the nine-tube net.

The scenery on the seabed was no different from what Jiang Chen had seen in his previous life, and the area around the island was also lifeless.

But when Jiang Chen looked towards the location of the white board, he saw dozens of sea fish swimming around the white board!
There are indeed living creatures in the ocean!

Jiang Chen immediately spread out his Qiankun clothes and swam over faster.

quack?

Seeing Jiang Chen's face as if he was facing a great enemy, Bai Ban was a little surprised, but he still handed the sea fish in his mouth to him attentively. Although the boss didn't have to eat it, he had to have this attitude, otherwise how could he be the boss's right-hand man.

Boss, you don't mind that I've already eaten it, right?

Fortunately, Jiang Chen's mind was not on these things for the time being. He took the sea fish and examined it carefully.

"The bronze creature, the wave-chasing fish, is an extraordinary creature..."

Jiang Chen exhaled heavily, looked at the dozen or so wave-chasing fish that had moved away from the white board at some point in time, and remained silent.

This world not only has living creatures, but they are also extraordinary creatures, so his judgment of the abandoned land is definitely wrong.

But why is there no living creature on this island?

Is it impossible to get close, or...

Don't dare to get close!

"Fa Cai, go around the island as fast as you can and see if the surrounding sea areas are all like this."

"Jiu Tong, have all the shadow beasts sweep the entire island again. This time I want a detailed map of the entire island!"

Da da!

Susu!

The two pets took action at the same time, and Jiang Chen, under the protection of the white board and the nine-tube body, concealed his breath and figure, and approached the wave-chasing fish carefully.

These wave-chasing fish obviously had no sense of crisis. They did not react at all when they saw several creatures disappear in front of them and continued to wander around nearby.

But for some reason, these wave-chasing fish never showed any intention of approaching the island.

Jiang Chen seemed to be thinking about something, and swam around for a while, only to find that other sea fish had the same reaction.

"Nine barrels, can you interfere with their behavior without controlling their thoughts?"

Susu~

Jiutong leaned forward, and his eight spider eyes flashed red. The swimming direction of these wave-chasing fish suddenly changed and they swam towards the island.

But just when these wave-chasing fish were about to break through an invisible boundary, they suddenly turned around and swam to the other side.

The whole process is smooth and there is no delay at all, and it may even make people ignore the other party's turning behavior which can be called drifting.

"There is indeed a problem!"

Jiang Chen waved his fist vigorously, and Jiu Tong also told Jiang Chen his perception results in a timely manner.

"You didn't have any fear or resistance, you just subconsciously avoided that direction?"

Jiang Chen rubbed his chin. He was not afraid, which meant that they were not afraid of the powerful creatures that might exist on this island.

Since you are not afraid to get closer, there is only one option left.

These sea beasts cannot approach this island!

"There's no space barrier, and there aren't any plants that marine fish hate. Why can't they get close?"

The more Jiang Chen thought about it, the more confused he became. It would be fine if only the sea fish couldn't get close, but it was a bit strange that there were no living creatures on the entire isolated island.

"If we walk out of this boundary, will we subconsciously leave when we want to enter again?"

A bold idea emerged in Jiang Chen's mind, and Jiutong immediately volunteered and stepped out of the boundary.

The expected strange phenomenon did not appear. The connection between Jiang Chen and Jiu Tong remained stable, and his vision was not disturbed at all. Everything seemed extremely normal.

But when Jiutong wanted to come back, it inexplicably turned a corner and swam to the other side.

"Even the Nine-Barrel couldn't resist?"

This time Jiang Chen was really surprised. It was not an environmental problem, nor was there a spatial barrier. The only possibility was mental interference or illusion.

But even Jiutong didn't have the slightest power to resist. This island was too weird.

rustling...

Jiutong was obviously a little ashamed of being disturbed, and the power of Wujian turned into a barrier to protect his soul firmly. At the same time, the Heavenly Net and the Soul-Breaking Net were deployed at the same time, clearing the way in front.

When facing six star-level evil spirits that came out of the Shadow Realm at the same time, Jiutong was not so serious. It can be seen how much he values ​​the task assigned by Jiang Chen.

But to Jiang Chen's surprise, Jiutong turned around at a farther distance this time, and even more smoothly than before.

If Jiang Chen had not been in a God's perspective, he would not have been able to tell that Jiutong had turned around.

"Why do I feel like I'm trapped in a maze..."

Jiang Chen only felt a chill on his back. Although he had killed undead creatures before, it was still a little creepy to think about it.

Even Jiutong couldn't resist. If they were really trapped in a ghost wall, they would be dead.

"Jiu Tong, come back!"

Jiang Chen's mind moved, and he forcibly took the Nine Tubes back to the manor, and then summoned them again.

"Fortunately, the contract summoning can block this kind of ghost wall effect."

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. If even the contract could be severed, he would be in danger this time.

"Although we can't get close, this world breaker doesn't seem to have any intention of harming us, so he should have no hostility."

"The question now is whether or not to look for this unknown threat. After all, even the Nine Barrels can't resist it, so what about the others..."

At this point, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered something and turned his head sharply to look at the whiteboard.

"No, why do I remember that Bai Ban swam back from outside just now?" (End of this chapter)
