In addition to the Taoist who was hung in mid-air, there were also wisps of yellow air rising above the heads of the shivering mortals in the city.
In Xu Dao's eyes, the entire city was filled with yellow air, and the middle of his forehead seemed to be beating. He looked calm and touched his forehead inadvertently.
This is a bit strange. Obviously under the influence of Huang Tian Talisman, the core of the brand imprinted on his forehead has been extracted, thus causing him to lose the Huang Tian Talisman.
But now, when he meets many Huangtian remnants, his forehead is still touched.
Soon, Xu Dao knew that this was not his hallucination. Because in his little yellow sky, the law of the yellow sky, which had turned into a round of sunlight, was beating faintly, and even the Huang Tianzhen in it was passing on.
touch.
This touch was in the hope that he could protect him and collect the remaining energy of Huang Tian in front of him, but it was not forcing him to do it. It was just a kind of urging, which seemed to be beneficial and could counteract him.
At this time, Xu Dao understood that although the Huangtian Talisman given by the Taoist masters was broken, its effectiveness was still there. If he chose to protect Huangtian's remnants and gather Huangqi, he could still get certain benefits.
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Xu Dao's gaze swept over the living people in the city one by one. The two shark girls beside him were talking about the population of the city.
The shark girl Yin Dang asked excitedly: "How many people are there?"
There was a proud smile on Yin Jianjian's face: "No more, no more, it's only a few hundred or ten thousand at the moment!"
"What! More than ten thousand?" the shark girl Yin Dang cried out: "There are actually so many, and looking at them, they are either strong or young. What is the origin of this island?"
Yin Jianjian's voice was filled with a hint of disdain: "It's rare but strange!" Then her voice also brought excitement and fanaticism, "Do you know how big the island in front of you is and how many living people there are on it?"
The shark girl Yin Dang hurriedly said: "Say it quickly!"
"Haha!" Yin Jianjian laughed, "This island is five to six hundred miles long, and there are many mortals. The city in front of you and me is not the largest on the island. The largest one is at the other end! There are even more villages there.
There are so many, there can be three to three hundred thousand people in that big city alone! If all the living people are captured, the number is estimated to reach one million!"
Hearing the words "city" and "millions" from the other party's mouth, the shark girl Yin Dang's face was startled at first, her eyes glowed, and then she glanced hesitantly at the dozens of Wu Kingdom casual cultivators in the air.
The shark girl Yin Dang frowned and said: "This island is so big, and the mortals on the island have built villages and cities. So what is the strength of the indigenous Taoists here?"
Xu Dao listened and became interested. Although he knew the strength of Wu Guo's casual cultivators, he didn't know much about the strength of Shark Island. He listened to the comparisons between the shark girls so that he could have a firm idea.
The smile on Yin Jianjian's face faded a bit, but she still didn't look troubled. She turned her head, pointed at the Wu Guo casual cultivator who was hanging in the air, and said disdainfully:
"Hey! Don't be so worried. Although there are indigenous Taoists and foundation-building Taoist priests on this island, they are just local chickens and dogs."
Yin Jianjian said with a sneer: "Among them, there are only three Foundation-building Taoist priests, and these three Taoist priests don't even have a few magic weapons in their hands. The spells they use are very interesting, but they don't have the blessing of Taoist soldiers, so their fighting skills are also difficult."
It’s just a matter of three or two.”
She pursed her lips and signaled the two of them to look into the air: "Look! I caught this guy myself. The other two sisters are chasing the other two indigenous Taoist priests on the island. Once they are caught, this island will definitely be included in the list.
My subordinates on the Merren Island. The troublesome place for you and me in the future is not the natives on the island, but those people who are swarming in from the sea."
It is not just the Shark Girls who have discovered this island, but other Taoists as well. It is estimated that in a few days, once the news has spread completely, nearby Taoists will come over to get involved, trying to get a share of the pie.
Hearing such words, the shark girl Yin Dang was obviously relieved. She said: "That's good. The three of you alone can easily deal with the indigenous people. There will be more sisters in the future.
Come here, and when the time comes, plus the Taoist soldiers we have brought with us, there should be no opponents within thousands of miles."
Yin Jianjian was thinking on her face. She glanced at the quiet Xu Dao and smiled charmingly: "If we include this fellow Taoist and other guests, we will be even stronger."
The two continued to talk and exchange news. Their relationship was much more enthusiastic than when they first met. They both had smiles on their faces. They obviously believed that they were going to make a fortune this time.
After listening to this, Xu Dao also had a good idea of Shark Girl's side.
His heart sank, and he thought secretly: "According to what I have inquired and collected, the Shark Island is not that big of a force in the Western Sea. Although there are Taoist priests of the Linggang level on the island, there are only ten female Shark Taoist priests on this island."
Now, ten people have been sent out at once, plus the guest ministers and Taoist soldiers, so they should not be underestimated!"
Although Xu Dao's magic power was deep and he had trump cards, even the Taoist priests of Lian Gang dared to challenge him head-on, but facing so many Taoist priests and Taoist soldiers under the Taoist priest Xihai, he really didn't know what he was doing.
And as the two shark girls discussed, there are only three Wu Taoist priests on the island, and one of them has been captured by the shark girl Yin Jianjian. Even if Xu Dao wanted to unite with the Taoist priests on the island, he would be weak.
As a last resort, Xu Dao glanced at the mortals in the city and had no choice but to turn a blind eye for the time being and continue to calm down.
After another conversation, he also participated in the words of the two shark girls and learned more about the situation on the island. According to his observation and analysis, the predecessor of the island in front of him should be a densely populated place in Wu Kingdom.
On this land, there are two counties and cities, one large and one small.
The one occupied by the Shark Island here is the smaller one and is close to the hills. As for the other large one, it is the most densely populated place within a thousand miles, and there are official roads connecting other counties and cities in the Wu Kingdom.
Of course, the land boundary between the two counties and cities now only covers a radius of 600 miles. Official channels have been cut off, and they have experienced massacres by Taoist masters. The population has probably been cut in half, maybe less than a million, maybe barely a million.
After the three of them finished talking, the shark girl Yin Dang said: "So, the mission of Daoist Fellow Xu and I is just to find a way to repel those people who come after smelling the smell?"
Xu Dao also looked at Yin Jianjian, with a questioning look in his eyes.
Yin Jianjian nodded and replied: "Exactly. This island is so big, and it's quite weird. It's still floating slowly. We must not only beware of the hyenas at sea robbing the population, but also beware of their attempts to separate the island.
island."
When the shark girl Yin Dang heard this, her face was slightly startled, and then she quickly reacted and nodded to show that she understood. But when she looked at the hundreds of thousands of people in the city, her eyes showed covetousness, and she was reluctant to move away, which made Yin angry.
Jianjian smiled at her contemptuously.
Xu Dao also handed over his hands to show that he understood. But he was thinking in his heart: "Split the island?"
The island in front of us is five to six hundred miles in size. With the foundation-building Taoist priest's magic power, it would be just a joke to split it into several pieces and take it away.
However, it does not seem absolutely impossible that this island was formed from the fragments of the Wu Kingdom and was floating on the sea without ever being fixed. And according to what the shark girl said, there was probably some ingenuity involved in the matter, otherwise the shark island would not have been able to
This worry arises.
If the island in front of him could really be split into several pieces, Xu Dao would definitely be able to make a fortune from it and occupy a piece of it, not to mention occupying the largest one.
And according to what he had agreed with Meren Island before, the other party's reaction would not be too great. In this way, he would have a place to stay and could also protect some of Huang Tian's remnants.
After the conversation, the shark girl Yin Dang and Xu Dao, at the invitation of the shark girl guarding the city, walked into the tent set up on the city wall and let the other party pick up the wind and wash away the dust.
The more than a thousand fish-human Taoist soldiers brought by the shark girl Yin Dang were scattered and placed directly on the city wall, as if they were stuck with torches, as guarding the living people and alerting the surrounding lackeys.
These Tao soldiers, when gathered, can bless the Taoist's magic power, and when scattered, they can be used as slaves. They have their own wisdom and are really convenient to use.
Xu Dao became even more excited about this, and began to look forward to how much help it would bring to him after he refined the Tooth Scale Soldier into this kind of Taoist weapon.
for the rest of the time.
As the shark girl Yin Dang said, there were other shark girls carrying Tao soldiers in batches, boarding the island, and finally found them near the city where they were.
In the blink of an eye, a dozen unfamiliar Taoist priests appeared around Xu Dao, as well as six more fish-human Taoist soldiers. Adding those under the command of the shark girl Yin Dang, the total number of fish-human Taoist soldiers on the island reached nearly ten thousand.
Such a number frightened Xu Dao, and he kept a lower profile. Although he chatted enthusiastically with many Taoist priests, he just wanted to become familiar with them and did not want to be in the limelight.
However, he is already a Taoist priest at the level of Ningsha. His aura is deep and his strength is there. No one dares to ignore him.
After everyone arrived, Xu Dao discovered that the shark girl Yin Jianjian who was guarding the city had the highest level of cultivation.
This person has been practicing Taoism for one hundred and eighty years. He has reached the level of Ningsha perfection and is on the verge of refining the Gang. Moreover, after being assigned a bunch of fish-human Taoist soldiers as minions, this person's strength has doubled on the spot.
So everyone on the island took her as the leader and began to assign their own tasks.
The main task is nothing more than to expel the other Taoist priests who landed on the island, and to search for the living people on the island. First, capture them all, put them in the city, and raise them first. After the island is completely cleaned up, we will then use everyone's merits.
The size of the distribution of benefits.
It's just that rules are dead and people are alive.
In addition to completing the mission of Sharman Island, everyone who landed on the island also came here to make a fortune.
Even Yin Jianjian herself, who assigned the task, immediately took half of the mortals in the city after everyone arrived, extracted their souls to refine money on the spot, and first rewarded nearly 10,000 Taoist soldiers, while the rest were used for
Expenses for the reception banquet.
While the Taoist priests were talking and laughing, 60,000 to 70,000 mortals in the city died on the spot. The traces left behind were mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with a fishy smell. The scene was far more shocking than the vegetable market on Meren Island.
.
The mountains of corpses and seas of blood left behind by extracting souls and making money were not wasted. On one side, the Taoist priests were drinking and having fun in the camp, while on the other side, the fish-human Taoist soldiers were feasting outside the camp.
Regardless of whether they are Taoist priests or Taoist soldiers, their manners are far more familiar than those of the Shezhao Taoist priests that Xu Dao has ever seen, and their methods are even calmer and more routine.
This also made Xu Dao, who thought he had adapted, feel terrified in his heart.
After a storm of wind and dust, the county town that temporarily supported mortals was quite empty. The Taoist priests who landed on the island also began to rush out of the city and excitedly started activities on the island.
Xu Dao also ran out of the city in a low mood, but he did not choose to search for living people, but took over the task of exploring the entire island.
The shark girl Yin Dang couldn't help it. Under the temptation of numerous opportunities to make money, she was happy to work separately with Xu Dao to prevent her benefits from being shared by Xu Dao.
As for the hidden dangers on the island, these shark girls and guests do not think they deserve to be too concerned about.
At least until the number of living people becomes scarce, the conflicts on the island will not be too big. After all, everyone is busy looking for "money" to refine "money", and there is not much time to pay attention to other people.
Even the Shark Girl among them who wants to occupy the entire island will not foolishly carry out her mission completely at this time.
In this way, Xu Dao took over the task of exploring the entire island instead of capturing live people, which seemed a bit surprising, but everyone did not believe that he would really explore the entire island blindly without enriching himself.
While the "companions" led the fish-human Tao soldiers under their command, running around the island and gradually pushing into the depths of the basin, Xu Dao shuttled through the mist, passing through one dilapidated village after another, using his eyes to
Write it down and feel the danger after the heavenly collapse.
He no longer hesitated, and directly gave up on flipping the table to fight against the Sharman Island. After all, the opponent had a large number of people, so he had to wait patiently. After waiting like this, he really discovered a possible turning point.
Xu Dao traveled inside and outside the island, but mainly on the outside of the basin bottom and near the coast. He found that as time went by, more and more foreign Taoist priests sneaked into the island, making it difficult to prevent them.
There were even boats rowing over. They did not fly into the sky, but just rowed over. The Taoists on the boat were all just little guys at the Qi refining level. Because they knew the news about the island descending from the sky, they all thought it was a great opportunity for themselves and started to rush.
I ran over and tried to drink some soup.
Facing these Taoists, Xu Dao just informed them about Sharman Island from time to time, without even thinking about blocking them.
And in the process, he also discovered a good option to compete with Sharman Island for the island.
Although the Merman Island is powerful and has fish-human Taoist soldiers, the number of their Taoist priests is not dominant, and it is far behind the increasing number of casual cultivators on the island.
Xu Dao's eyes fell on these casual cultivators from the West Sea. If he wanted to save as many people as possible on the island, what he could rely on was not the indigenous Taoist priests, but these casual cultivators from the West Sea who came to "dig for gold".
