Chapter 312 The Magical Secret of Skull Island (For Support)
Three days later, when Li Xiao walked out of the cave, his face was already full of red light and shining, and a layer of faint aura faintly circulated all over his body, exuding infinite brilliance.
After absorbing all the rich spiritual energy in the cave, it can be said that Li Xiao has become more stable in the realm of the master, laying an extremely solid foundation and giving him a brand new feeling. He is in the cave again. After searching for a while, there was no other harvest except for some strange rocks and jades that had accumulated over time. It seems that this sage's crystal is very rare. Even after tens of billions of years, in this extremely spiritual place, there is no other harvest. In the rich land, only five of them were condensed, and the output was very rare.
"This trip to Skull Island has been completed, and it's time for us to go back."
When Li Xiao turned his head again before leaving the valley, forgetting deeply about the cave behind him, he waved his hand and called Immorton to leave with him and came to the shallows where they logged in before. Gathered together again with everyone who had been waiting for a long time.
Li Xiao simply recounted what happened to him in the valley with some reservations.
When everyone heard that the gorilla was able to defeat three Tyrannosaurus rex, and that Li Xiao and the gorilla fought for three days and three nights, they were all stunned and amazed. They had a new understanding of the weirdness of this island. know.
Now that he has successfully obtained the Sage's Crystal, for Li Xiao, the mission and itinerary of this trip to Skull Island is over, so he no longer stays, buries some of the team members who died on the island, and packs their luggage. After finishing arranging, everyone rowed two small boats back to the giant ship, turned the anchor, turned the oars, set sail, and started the return voyage while riding the wind and waves.
…
…
When a giant ship rode the wind and waves, sailed from the vast Indian Ocean into the Pacific Ocean, and docked at the main port, it instantly attracted the attention and attention of many people.
Naturally, there are many of the top ten financial groups or other powerful families among them.
Many informants from various forces reported this to their bosses immediately after seeing this scene, and the entire Basic Port was boiling over it.
Li Xiao opened the door of the cabin and walked down from the deck. On the dock, Scott, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, had already been standing beside an eye-catching motorcade, waiting for a long time.
"Li, this trip has been really hard on you." Scott took off the hat on his head, bowed to Li Xiao, and welcomed Li Xiao into the back seat of the car with a smile.
After picking up the rest of the people, a convoy of more than ten cars drove along the port road toward the city center.
As soon as the two of them got into the car, Scott lost the calmness he showed in front of others and immediately asked Li Xiao impatiently: "Li, did your trip to Skull Island go well?"
"Well, this trip has been very fruitful. I found a treasure with the earth attribute, one of the "four elements". It is the Holy Grail for refining elixirs of longevity, and its function is very important." After thinking for a moment, Li Xiao couldn't help but Whether it is authentic or not.
"That's great. As long as we collect two more elemental treasures, we can start refining the elixir of longevity. Next, I have to speed up the collection of information and materials about these two attribute treasures." Scott said. He slapped his thighs, grinned widely, and looked excited.
And it is of extraordinary significance to Scott, and it is also a stepping stone for him. As long as the successfully refined elixir is handed over to the head of the family, he will be able to win enough weight for his inheritance rights!
Thinking of this, Scott felt his throat dry and couldn't help but swallow deeply.
Looking at the rapidly receding scenery on both sides of the road, Li Xiao tapped his fingers gently on the edge of the car window, as if he was an old god.
Indeed, now as long as we collect the treasures with two attributes, we can start refining. We are only a short distance away from the elixir of life. In this movie world, if we don't calculate the flow rate of our life, there is no mental state.
Any burden is much easier. Even if he is here for hundreds or thousands of years, he will not age much. On this basis, he believes that he will be able to gather the other two elements.
With a casual glance, Li Xiao suddenly discovered through the reflection of the rearview mirror that the driver of the car was not the original David, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Although Scott, as a member of the Rothschild family, can be said to have strong financial resources, if he wanted to, not to mention changing drivers, he could easily change a million-dollar luxury car every day.
However, according to Li Xiao's observation and contact over a period of time, he found that Scott was a very nostalgic person. For example, he had not changed his personal scarf for more than ten years.
But for such a nostalgic person, can the driver who has been following him for many years just change?
Thinking of this, Li Xiao asked this question intentionally or unintentionally, looking at Scott's expression, wanting to see how he would reply.
At this time, I saw Scott let out a long sigh, and even his whole expression became melancholy, looking like he was worried. After being silent for a long while, he slowly opened his mouth and talked about the past few days.
Everything that happened was told.
"That's the whole story..."
"It turns out that those who were secretly following were people from DuPont and First Citigroup?" After listening to Scott's words attentively, Li Xiao frowned.
Unexpectedly, just as they boarded the giant ship and set off for Skull Island, Dupont and Stillman deliberately kidnapped Scott and used hypnosis to get information about the elixir of immortality from him.
information, and David, the chauffeur who had been following him for more than ten years, also died because of it.
Dupont and Stillman were really crazy. They dared to brazenly cause a car accident in a downtown area to kidnap the Rothschild heir. It seemed that they were really unscrupulous.
But looking at it from another perspective, the reason why these two people dared to be so rampant must have a lot of support behind them. There may be other financial groups backing them, and Dupont and Stillman are just the people who were pushed to the front.
, In addition, under the current background of the Great Depression, local financial groups and forces in the United States have a feeling of resistance and rejection towards Rothschild. As the saying goes, the law does not punish the public, it is precisely based on this idea that Dupont and Rothschild
Only Tillman dared to be so careless.
Recalling the great humiliation of being slapped that day, the burning pain on Scott's face seemed to have not subsided. His angry eyes were about to burst out with fire, and his fists were clenched tightly with a crackling sound.
Li Xiao patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Mr. Scott, please don't worry, I will make the decision for you, and I won't let you suffer in vain!"
It has to be said that the elite training and education since childhood allowed Scott to develop a strong psychology. After a brief burst of emotions, he quickly suppressed his anger and regained his sanity, and his tone became
Heping said: "Li, thank you, but I don't know how to mention my personal honor and disgrace. Everything is still important. As long as the elixir of life is successfully refined, it can give people unlimited life and surpass ordinary people. Then Dupont
He and Stillman are nothing more than a bunch of ants."
Li Xiao nodded secretly and looked at Scott, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. It seems that Scott is really not the kind of spoiled kid from a rich family. Even if he encounters such big twists and turns, he still knows how to endure humiliation and bear the burden.
, focus on big things.
But as he said, the most important thing now is to gather the other two elements. When the elixir of longevity is refined and the overall situation is decided, it will not be too late to deal with these two consortiums after there is no more trouble.
"By the way, Lee, I listened to the conversation between the two of them that day, and there was another detail. Stillman once mentioned that they sent an undercover agent on the Mile to Skull Island. At that time, I wanted to tell this
The news was reported by telegraph, but later I found that the signal station on the giant ship was out of order." After thinking for a while, Scott seemed to have thought of something again and said to Li Xiao.
"Undercover?" Li Xiao frowned slightly, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly thought of many possibilities.
"Why don't we gather all these people together, and then investigate them one by one to find out the spies among them." Scott narrowed his eyes and pointed at the motorcade driving behind him, seeming to say with deep meaning.
After Li Xiao's eyes flickered for a moment, a hint of enlightenment finally arose in his heart. He waved his hand, showing great certainty: "I think I probably know who it is, but instead of trying to find her out and scare the snake away, we should.
Wouldn't it be better to leave it alone for the time being and treat it as a chess piece that can be used to help us convey false information and disrupt the opponent's judgment at critical moments?"
"Haha, I didn't expect you, Li, to have such insight. If you can use this chess piece for us, of course there is no way more worthy of celebration than this!" After hearing this, Scott's eyes suddenly lit up, and a piece of his heart moved.
The stone finally fell to the ground.
Li Xiao smiled calmly, and the five fingers he spread out gradually closed and clenched.
Everything is under control!
…
…
A group of vehicles drove through the streets and alleys until they arrived at an office of the Rothschild family in the United States.
After getting out of the car, Scott ordered his men to bring everyone except Li Xiao and Immorton to a room, where Rothschild's corporate services lawyer had already been waiting.
"Please everyone sign the agreement." Scott's tone was somewhat commanding.
The purpose of bringing everyone here is to get Carl, Genos and others to sign the next confidentiality agreement.
Because this discovery of the mysterious Skull Island in a corner of the vast ocean is not only an expedition, but also a business secret, so it needs to be kept confidential.
Regarding the content of the agreement, people can talk about Skull Island, but they cannot reveal its location. If they violate this agreement, the violator must pay hundreds of millions of dollars in liquidated damages, and such an agreement
The number of words will be enough for everyone here to collect wealth that they cannot earn in a lifetime.
In the end, although Genos and others were reluctant, under the pressure of Scott, they could only bite the bullet and sign their names on the agreement.
The black and white words on the articles gave them legal effect. After the lawyers reviewed these agreements one by one and confirmed that they were correct, everyone left here one after another under the dispatch of the original car.
…
…
In the following days, in addition to reading the news sent from the Rothschild Group every day, Li Xiao also practiced unwaveringly to consolidate his own cultivation.
Surprisingly, after the Triumph returned to New York, the top ten financial groups did not take any immediate action. Instead, they were like snakes dormant in winter, waiting for something.
Soon, news came from the scientific research institute of biology expert Roger. After a series of experiments and research, the blood and hair collected from the beasts of Skull Island could prove that their gene chains had formed some kind of benign...
mutation, and what induces them to mutate is some kind of uncaptured ray on the Sage's Crystal.
Research shows that it is precisely because these creatures have been bathed in this mysterious ray for a long time that their living organisms have gradually evolved, greatly delaying the aging of cells, and at the same time they can divide infinitely, and finally undergo transformation, so that they can live forever.
, continues to this day, so it is really incredible that dinosaurs billions of years ago can miraculously survive on that island to this day.
With a thought, five Sage Crystals floating with red light appeared in Li Xiao's palm again.
Translucent and crystal clear, it is so rich that it drips with water. It looks extremely mysterious and gives you a refreshing feeling when you hold it.
"It turns out that this is the reason why Skull Island's blessings are endless and its life is prosperous."
Even if these magical objects are not used to refine the elixir of life, if worn around for a long time, nourished by the natural pure spiritual energy it emits, they will definitely be able to prolong life.
There was a hint of understanding in Li Xiao's eyes, but after thinking for a moment, he was confused again: "But there is another point, why has no one discovered Skull Island for hundreds of millions of years? Is it really because it is too far along the navigation route?
Is it inconspicuous, or are there other reasons?"
Li Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly and he said to himself.
You must know that Columbus launched the voyage plan in the 15th century and discovered the New World of America. It can be said that at that time, there was also a craze for navigation and exploration. Although the sea was very vast and boundless, so many ships and giant ships were sailing in this big ocean every day.
Traveling back and forth on the sea, it is impossible for no one to have set foot on Skull Island in the 20th century in the movie. This is obviously illogical.
Could it be that in addition to the Sage's Crystal, Skull Island or that sea area also contains other secrets? Li Xiao speculated in his heart.
