Near the Borneo Islands, a single-person boat slowly traveled upstream, heading in the opposite direction of the current and waves, towards the scattered islands on the outermost edge of the archipelago.
In the endless blue water, the white boat looks like a white fish riding the wind and waves.
Although there is no sail, the boat can automatically change direction and accelerate towards the edge of the island.
Wei He stood in the boat with his hands behind his hands, looking into the distance.
On the sea in the distance, among the white waves, some armored ships can be vaguely seen slowly passing by.
"First find that small island and settle down there, then arrange a place to stay. You can hunt star cores in your spare time, and you can also use the star formation to feel at ease during your rest. Kill two birds with one stone."
The most important thing is that this is where Wei He found out the clues about Longsuo Mu.
Dragon Lock Wood itself has the effect of calming the strength of real beasts. But it is of little use to humans.
Therefore, although this kind of medicinal material is rare, it is not precious, and no one is trying to sell it.
Wei He used the power of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect that had developed over the years to contact an individual organization in the Borneo Islands. From the real person of this organization, he obtained clues about Long Suo Mu.
What surprised Wei He was that the location of Long Suomu was not certain, there was only a rough range.
Within this range, what is marked on the archipelago side is a high-risk area.
No wonder he asked the Lou family and Wan Du Sect to search for him for many years, but they still couldn't find it.
If you are weak in a high-risk area, you will die if you go there.
The Wan Du Sect's force is not enough after all.
Although the Lou family is stronger, it is not so strong that the real people in the family will fight for Wei He.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Wei He looked at the island in the distance that was already the size of an egg.
The island is covered in burrs, like a moldy black cake, dotted with sparse dark green.
Before he arrived, Wei He vaguely smelled a strange smell, like the dry smell of flesh and blood that had been left for a long time.
The boat sailed straight towards the edge island, with a pale white water line stretching out behind it.
"Hello." Suddenly, a voice came from a large ship not far to the right.
Wei He took a look and saw that the sound came from a large black ship with a round, mushroom-like raised building.
The one who made the noise was a little fat man standing on the side of the boat.
"Brother! Ansha Island is about to enter a boiling period! It will be very dangerous to go there at this time!" the little fat man reminded kindly.
Wei He saw two middle-aged ladies on the side of the ship. They were disturbed by the little fat man's voice. They walked over and they were talking in low voices, as if they were scolding the little fat man.
The little fat man, who was no more than a teenager, broke away from the lady's big hand and seemed to be very impatient.
'It should be that my family is supporting me, and I am going out on a boat trip to gain experience.'
Wei He made a guess in his mind.
The big ship was very large, more than twice the size of ordinary ships. It had a wide hull, numerous guards on both sides, and a movable and steering turret installed on the deck.
At first glance, this kind of ship is not something ordinary people can afford.
Seeing that the little fat man seemed to be scolded, Wei He smiled slightly and transmitted the message from a distance.
"Thanks for reminding me, I know it well."
The so-called boiling period is a division that the locals here have summarized the activity patterns of sea monster attacks.
They discovered that each different island would enter the so-called boiling period and incubation period of sea monsters after a certain period of time.
During the boiling period, the frequency and intensity of sea monster attacks were more than three times that of normal.
The incubation period is less than half of normal.
Throughout the year, there are no traces of the boiling period in the Borneo Islands. The patterns can only be detected through changes in the activities of sea animals.
Before the sea monster explodes into a boiling period, some special details will appear.
This is how people judge the distance between them.
After Wei He replied, he quickly left the big boat behind, and the small boat accelerated straight away without stopping.
Soon we arrived at the rocky coast.
He jumped forward, got off the boat and fished it out with his backhand. He immediately raised the white boat with one hand, rode the waves, and rushed to the shore.
The white wooden boat weighing hundreds of kilograms was like straw in his hands. Even where he held the boat, there were no cracks or distortions caused by the excessive load.
A few tens of meters away, with just a few splashes of water, Wei He landed on the shore of the island with his canoe.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west and it was about to enter dusk.
This edge island is empty and uninhabited. There are very few people on the beach, and there are dense crab holes everywhere.
"Fewer people means more real beasts, which are dangerous, but it also means more star stones. Find a secluded place to rest first."
Wei He held the canoe, tiptoed, and walked lightly towards the mountains and forests on the island.
There was silence in the mountains and forests on the island, no insects, no animals or birds, it seemed like there was nothing.
But Wei He vaguely felt that something was wrong.
He quickly found an empty cave, threw the canoe in, and moved some big rocks and trees to block the entrance of the cave, leaving only a small gap for ventilation.
Then, he collected some dry firewood, lit a bonfire with flint, and settled here.
A man is sitting in the cave.
There was a lit fire in front of him, and a cool breeze blew faintly from the cracks in the stones outside.
The sky in the gap changed from dim yellow, to golden red, then to dim red, and finally turned into darkness.
Wei He looked at the fire in front of him. The dry branches, leaves and sticks slowly turned yellow and black under the attack of the flames, and then turned into charcoal.
The sound of crackling wood and exploding wood came from the fire from time to time.
Snap.
Suddenly, a large piece of wood supporting the gap in the fire was burned down.
Wei He reached in, grabbed the wood, and supported it at another angle.
He felt the hardness of the wood and found that the material had been burned through.
Withdrawing his hand, he looked at his dark fingers.
"Unknowingly, I have reached this point. The temperature of the flames that ordinary people are afraid of is like a tiger. With my protective power, it is no different from ordinary things."
Wei He felt a little emotional.
He took out the prepared dried meat, vegetables, and fruits from his luggage, put an iron pot on it, put some water in it, and then he could make soup.
But before making the soup, Wei He first took out the Star Formation, Chongyue Sirius Formation given by Senior Sister Yuanduzi.
The star array disk is gray in color and seems to be made of stone. There is a shadow of a giant black wolf on the surface, and its eyes are faintly shining with green light. There are still messy characters and patterns around it that can squirm and swim.
Wei He stood up, found a place in the cave, and placed the formation disk on the ground.
Then he took out a black star core from his waist bag.
The star core is about the size of an egg and weighs about three kilograms. It was a good thing he accidentally got when he killed a real beast in the past.
You must know that the average number of star cores for real beasts is about 10 taels, which is one pound.
And the stronger ones can only weigh two kilograms.
Three kilograms of black star stones can only be obtained from real beasts whose lethality is comparable to that of Quanzhen masters.
Such real beasts are generally rare if they are not close to strong wind zones.
At least Wei He is rare.
Place the star core on the array plate, then tap it gently, and a wisp of force will immediately remove the impurities wrapped on the surface of the star core.
The pure star stone texture came into contact with the array plate at once.
hiss
On the star array disk, the original black giant wolf began to squirm more violently, and the symbolic patterns around it also began to rotate and accelerate around the giant wolf.
A circle of invisible fluctuations started from the formation plate as the center and spread in all directions.
Wei He stretched out his hand and pressed the array plate to sense the spread of this wave.
The wave spreads not very fast, which is enough for him to grasp its speed and distance.
Soon, when the wave spread just enough to cover the entire cave, Wei He injected a real force into the array.
The fluctuations stopped and the coverage range was just right.
Wei He let go of his hand and returned to the campfire. As soon as the array disk was activated, it had full effect, including the effect of accelerating practice.
To be honest, it's a bit wasteful, but he doesn't know how to adjust it, and he doesn't lack this little bit of star core.
With his strength, hunting star cores is actually a very simple matter.
I took a rest and had something to eat.
It has completely entered night outside.
Wei He put down the soup pot, stood up and came to the entrance of the cave.
He reached out and moved, and suddenly the stone at the cave door slowly moved away, revealing the scene on the island outside.
Dark clouds covered the moonlight, and except for a little firelight coming from the cave, everything else on the island was pitch black.
Wei He's eyes suddenly trembled and he entered a super-sensory state.
The darkness in front of me quickly faded, turning into a gray-black color that I could barely see.
After supersession, the ability of vision to capture light seems to be much stronger.
‘If we change the term, should it be called low-light vision?’ Wei He sighed in his heart.
After walking out of the cave, he put the stone back into place.
Then he took off the whale oil lamp that he had prepared, rubbed the flint with his hands, and made sparks.
Suddenly the whale oil lamp slowly lit up.
The light is somewhat dim, and can illuminate an area of more than ten meters around him centered on him.
This is because Wei He's super-sensory vision can adapt to dark environments.
Bang, bang.
Just as he lit the lamp, two dull footsteps came from the front.
Wei He looked up and saw at the end of the light, among the black woods on the island, a gray-black monitor lizard that was three meters long and more than one meter high was slowly crawling out.
This monitor lizard was covered in ulcers, with a strong stench surrounding it, and half of its gums were still exposed.
It crawled forward two more steps, and with every step it took, a large amount of black mucus would fall out.
"So many real beasts? This place seems really dangerous."
Wei He didn't expect to encounter a real beast just after arriving on the island.
He carefully looked at the monitor lizard in front of him.
"Your whole body is rotten and suppurating, and you're a giant lizard. Let's just call you a pus lizard."
He kicked his foot.
A stone suddenly flew out and hit the pus lizard precisely on the head.
Bang!
The pus lizard's whole head exploded at once, and it struggled forward a few more times before falling to the ground motionless.
Wei He walked over, waved his hand, and immediately opened a big hole in the entire body of the pus lizard, and struck out from the middle.
A dark star core flew out and landed in the palm of Wei He's hand.
He padded it.
"Eight taels at most, that's too bad."
Putting away the star stone, Wei He moved forward, carrying the whale oil lamp, and slowly walked towards the seaside in the dark night.
In the darkness, the wind howled, and a woman's faint laughter could be heard. That was the laughter of the wind.
Today's Yingxiaofeng, with its little wind power, won't cause any trouble to Wei He.
He walked straight towards the shore in his memory.
After a while, two more pus lizards came out and tried to attack him, but were easily killed instantly.
At first glance, this kind of real beast relies on the poison and disease on its body to fight at close range. Facing an opponent like Wei He who can't even get close, the pus lizards are like babies, with no power to resist.
Slowly, half of the island forest was passed through.
Suddenly, in the darkness, a long dark red line flew towards Wei He from the side like lightning.
The red line aimed at his head and shot at extremely fast speed.
