After these words of persuasion were published, two more monks were persuaded to join the team of middle-aged monks.
The number of people in the team, who claimed to be the leader of a certain sect, expanded to seven.
The remaining monks choose to be independent. These monks basically hate being ordered around.
The same goes for Chen Xuan. He only plans to enter the island with Shen Binglan. Although what the middle-aged monk said is not unreasonable, both the Ghost Whale and the Water Prison Island are full of weirdness and suspicion.
Especially what the mysterious will-o'-the-wisp said, Chen Xuan wouldn't believe a word, such as that he could get a top-quality treasure after completing the mission.
What Chen Xuan is most confused about is that the mysterious will-o'-the-wisp has such great power and can inspire black lightning to demote a monk in the return stage to a mortal. Why does it need monks like them who can't even use their magic power to help complete the rescue mission?
Therefore, Chen Xuan does not intend to keep to himself. He also wants to enter the central area of Water Prison Island to explore the secrets.
But just as he was about to enter the island with Shen Binglan, Peng Zhi came over and reminded him in a low voice: "Fellow Daoist Chen, we'd better listen to the mysterious will-o'-the-wisp and don't try to find out the secret of Water Prison Island like others.
, if we can use magic power, we can still try it, but now you and I are no different from mortals. If you dare to disobey the orders of the will-o'-the-wisp, you will be asking for death."
"Fellow Daoist Peng, have you been to Water Prison Island once before?
Why don't you tell me the details of Water Prison Island?
For example, what kind of monsters are there?”
At this moment, Chen Xuan did not blame Peng Zhi for deceiving him and causing him to be dragged into the Ghost Whale. He felt that Peng Zhi must still have many things that he had not said.
Peng Zhi looked embarrassed: "Chen Daoyou, I'm sorry, last time I went to the island in a daze, and was sent off the island before I could figure out the situation, so this time I want to fight the monsters together with you.
Please take care of me, Fellow Daoist Chen."
Listening to Peng Zhi's answer, Chen Xuan felt more and more suspicious about this person, but he really had to be with this person now, so that he could have a chance to find out the secret of Water Prison Island and whether Peng Zhi was just an ordinary monk or had hidden his identity
.
"Okay, let's go together."
Seeing that Chen Xuan agreed, Peng Zhi breathed a sigh of relief: "Fellow Taoist Chen, and what do you call this female Taoist friend? Let's enter the island now."
"My surname is Shen."
Shen Binglan simply responded.
"I'll clear the way for you two."
Peng Zhi originally thought that Chen Xuan was a Golden Core monk, so Shen Binglan's cultivation level was most likely similar to Chen Xuan's. However, he did not boss the two of them around because his cultivation level was higher. After all, on this water prison island,
Regardless of their level of cultivation, they are all equivalent to mortals, but there are a few tall monks who are even more frightening.
Chen Xuan and Shen Binglan followed Peng Zhi towards the depths of the island.
After leaving the beach area, Chen Xuan discovered that other areas of this strange island are very complicated. There are man-made roads and stone steps distributed among the dilapidated ancient buildings. If you don't memorize the route carefully, you may walk for a long time.
They only circle in a small area.
However, Chen Xuan and the others have not encountered the monster on the island mentioned by the mysterious ghost fire in a short period of time. After walking up a stone step, Chen Xuan suddenly asked Peng Zhi: "Friend Peng, you said the Ghost Whale, Water Prison Island and Xianyu
Does the empire have anything to do with it?”
When Peng Zhi heard this, his expression suddenly changed slightly, as if Chen Xuan had mentioned some serious taboo.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, curiosity can kill people. Let's complete the task honestly."
As soon as Peng Zhigang finished speaking, Chen Xuan suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that a dark shadow seemed to be passing over the tall tower in front of him.
Shen Binglan also saw it. She was surprised and quickly warned: "Be careful!"
Chen Xuan looked at the wall of the tower and saw a spider-like monster with an ugly human head and long hair. It was climbing on the wall. Suddenly it suddenly jumped down and headed toward the three of them at a very fast speed.
A surprise attack was launched! Peng Zhi screamed, raised the weapon in his hand to block, and was knocked away by one of the ugly monster's legs. He fell onto a broken wall and was instantly unconscious, with blood oozing from his forehead.
Chen Xuan didn't expect that Peng Zhi's combat power was so weak. He took action almost at the same time. He slashed hard with the big knife in his hand and struck the spikes on the two feet stabbed by the ugly monster, making a clanging sound of gold and iron!
Although Shen Binglan was weak, she still bravely swung the long and short swords on her left and right hands to slash at the monster's feet. The monster's power shocked her swords and almost let them go.
As if being pained by Chen Xuan, the monster screamed and jumped back onto the wall of the tower, preparing to launch the next attack.
Chen Xuan's hand holding the broadsword trembled slightly, and there was a faint pain in the tiger's mouth. With this slash, he realized that the monster's power was not something he could easily match, and the strength of the monster's body was beyond his expectation. Thinking of the mysterious
Will-o'-the-Wisp said that the weapons in his and Shen Binglan's hands were specially forged to kill monsters on the island. Now it seems that he really can't believe every word of the mysterious Will-o'-the-Wisp.
"Binglan, are you okay?"
While Chen Xuan was confronting the monster, he was concerned about Shen Binglan's safety.
Shen Binglan shook his head slightly and stared at the ugly monster on the wall of the tower: "I'm fine, but we'd better not fight this monster, otherwise we will all die here."
"You're right, but with the speed of this monster, it's impossible for us to escape."
Chen Xuan's thoughts were racing and he wanted to find a way to deal with this monster, otherwise he might not be able to withstand the monster's second attack.
However, Chen Xuan didn't have much time to think about countermeasures. After the ugly monster let out another ear-piercing scream, it kicked its limbs on the wall. At the same time, two scarlet fangs that looked like scimitars popped out of its bloody mouth, waving it wildly.
He rushed towards Chen Xuan and Shen Binglan! Chen Xuan's heart suddenly sank to the bottom. He didn't have time to think about it. Just relying on his instinctive reaction to protect his beloved, he had to stand in front of Shen Binglan and bear this fatal blow with his own body.
.
However, Shen Binglan was not as powerful as Chen Xuan, let alone the ugly monster, but she responded faster than the two. She had already slipped to her knees on the ground, raised her swords and stabbed the monster's softest abdomen from bottom to top!
Chen Xuan raised his broadsword and slashed at the monster's bloody fangs, and was instantly knocked away. He felt sparks and buzzing in his mind, and his internal organs were in a state of extreme discomfort.
Chen Xuan was more worried about Shen Binglan's safety than his own physical condition.
He immediately looked over to Shen Binglan, and saw Shen Binglan lying on the stone floor on the other side, while the ugly monster was lying between him and Shen Binglan, with smelly blood constantly flowing out from under his body.
Chen Xuan looked in disbelief when he saw this scene: "Binglan, did you kill the monster?"
"It seems that the abdomen is its fatal point. I stabbed it through with two swords easily."
Shen Binglan stood up and patted the dust on her body. There was no trace of shock in her eyes, only concern for Chen Xuan.
In order to show that he was fine, Chen Xuan immediately got up from the ground. Just as he was about to say something to Shen Binglan, he suddenly felt that the True Spirit Infant in his body seemed to be moving! At the same time, Shen Binglan also discovered that his
The Ice Phoenix Holy Body reacted! The two looked at each other, surprised and delighted!
