The time to return to the isolated island of Hantan was earlier than Chen Shen expected, arriving at noon. It must be that after he was promoted to the Eight-Star Mysterious Master, he walked on the waves and submerged much faster than before.
"Huh...Fortunately, the enemy troops on the island haven't started taking action yet."
Chen Shen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In this case, he was not in a hurry, but planned to regain his strength first and wait for darkness.
He was alone, but the other party had a two-star Mystic King, two nine-star Mystic Masters, four eight-star Mystic Masters, four seven-star Mystic Masters, and three thousand elite Mystic Masters.
If Chen Shen exposes himself too early, there will definitely be no benefit in confronting them head-on.
Even if he wins, it will be a miserable victory, and maybe a few big fish in the Xuan Master realm will slip away, and even the leader of the Xuan King II Star. This is not what Chen Shen wants to see.
Therefore, he planned to wait until nightfall, when visibility was extremely low, before taking action.
In fact, as early as on the way back, this young man had already thought of a careful battle plan...
Time passes minute by minute.
In order to preserve his strength, Chen Shen had been closing his eyes and recuperating, but he did not forget to fill up the "oil" for the twenty-one war puppets. As a result, his low-grade Five Elements Spirit Stone shrank by more than thirty kilograms.
As for the arduous task of always releasing his spiritual consciousness to alert his surroundings, it fell to Xiao Bai.
Whenever the guard patrols here, Xiaobai will send a message to inform them, and the two of them will sneak into the cold pool, wait for the patrol to leave, and then come up again, and so on.
Soon, the sun sets in the west.
Chen Shen, who was closing his eyes to recuperate, was suddenly awakened by a cry: "Boss! There are human auras approaching in the narrow passage below the cold pool. There are two people in total. Judging from the body-protecting Xuan Qi they released, they should be three-star Xuan Masters!
"
"Hmm? Do they have any weapons in their hands? What are the expressions on their faces?"
"I didn't take any weapons. As for my expression? Uh..."
Xiaobai was stunned and didn't understand why the other person asked this, but he still answered truthfully: "They don't have any special expressions, they look very calm."
"I'm not holding a weapon, my expression is still very calm... Humph, it's 100% the enemy!" The young man suddenly looked sharply.
"Ah? How did you know?" Xiaobai didn't know why.
"No time to explain!" At this time, Chen Shen had also released his soul perception and found that the two people were rushing upwards along the rapid current, and they were less than 300 meters away from the water surface of the cold pool!
"You stay here, I'll kill them!"
After saying these words, Chen Shen plunged into the water, his limbs quickly climbed on the slippery inner wall of the narrow channel, and soon came to a steep corner that was enough to obscure the view ahead.
Then with a thought, the Giant Elephant's Tiger-Suppressing Spear was clearly in hand.
He is like a ferocious beast in hunting, lurking in the most advantageous position, hiding all its aura, quietly waiting for the prey to step into his killing range...
"Trickling... swooshing..."
The rapids are passing by, and the sound of water is pooling.
Chen Shendan used his physical strength to lie on the rock wall, motionless, like a stone sculpture.
At a certain moment, his ears twitched slightly, and he instantly released the power of the Eight-Star Mysterious Master, and the spear in his hand suddenly thrust out——
"Pfft!"
The shot pierced the throat and killed the three-star mystic master in front of him cleanly and instantly. He didn't even have time to cry out in pain.
"Ding! The host successfully killed a three-star mystic master and gained 1,200 experience points."
At the same time, the gun barrel continued to push until it penetrated the abdominal cavity of the man behind, and then stopped.
Although the two of them floated up the rapids in tandem, they were not entirely in a straight line, so the latecomer managed to save his life and was stabbed in the abdomen with a spear, but his injuries were not fatal.
He subconsciously screamed: "Ah! You, you..."
How could Chen Shen give him a chance to talk nonsense? He quickly drew the gun out of his body, thrust it out and stabbed again——
"Pfft!"
With the power of the eight-star mysterious master and the sharpness of the spiritual-level mysterious weapons, the body-protecting mysterious energy that the opponent had to deal with in a hurry was as fragile as paper to Chen Shen and could be broken with just one poke!
Another shot was shot into the throat, and the man's eyes widened with an incredible look.
"Who is this person? Why did he kill me? How come with the power of my spiritual consciousness, I didn't detect him hiding behind the corner of the rock?"
"Isn't it top secret that the crack under the reef leads directly to the desert island pool? Except for the loyal Dark Blade soldiers and His Majesty the King, not even the princes and ministers know about it. How did he know?"
"This island is full of elites from our Tai Kou Kingdom. How did he..."
Before he died, one doubt after another flashed through the man's mind.
After just two breaths, the look in his eyes dimmed and he died...
"Ding! The host successfully killed a three-star mystic master and gained 1,200 experience points."
"Alas! After being promoted to an eight-star profound master, the experience gained by killing humans equivalent to the realm of low-grade mysterious beasts in the spiritual realm becomes increasingly pitiful."
Chen Shen curled his lips and stabbed again with his spear, but it strung the two corpses together to prevent them from being washed up into the pool by the rapids. Then, he peeled off the two people's Space Mysterious Rings with his other hand.
"Xiaobai, is there anything going on up there?"
"Everything is fine."
"Okay, be careful. If someone comes, hide under the pool. I will transport these two corpses out of the waterway."
"I know, boss."
…
Half an hour later, Chen Shen returned to Hantan Cave.
As he spoke, he pinched the two newly captured Space Mysterious Rings and thought with a thought——
"Ding! A two-star space mysterious ring was discovered. The original soul has been destroyed. The host can transfer the soul with a drop of blood and adopt it for his own use."
Chen Shen did as he was told.
After letting the Space Xuan Ring recognize its owner again, Chen Shen looked at the things inside and couldn't help but frown slightly: "Damn, there are two poor ghosts again, and they are such poor foodies!"
"Together, there are only three million gold coins, two sets of high-grade mortal-level battle armor, two low-grade mysterious weapons of the mysterious level, and the rest are all mysterious food and rice wine..."
"Oh, I know, these two guys must be delivering military rations to the pirates on the island."
Chen Shen really guessed it right.
The island where the Kou elites were stationed was a deserted island, and there were not many wild animals to hunt for food.
Therefore, every other week, two Kou people will send in a batch of Xuanshi rice wine, so that the elite troops on the island can always be kept in the best condition and ready for war at any time.
The young man waved his hand and threw one of the Kou Kingdom general armors in front of Xiaobai's eyes: "Look, is it similar to the armors of the patrol teams on those islands?"
Xiaobai nodded: "That's really awesome! Boss, how did you determine that they were from the Kou country in the first place?"
Chen Shen raised his lips and explained, "Because you said they didn't have weapons, and their expressions were calm and natural."
"Ah? Does this...what does it have to do with it?"
The young man nodded slowly: "If you are a cultivator who accidentally breaks into this place, and you don't know what you are going to face, you should have your troops in hand, be alert, and have a nervous look on your face, right?"
"But they took it easy. They clearly knew about the situation on the island a long time ago..."
