Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty-Four: Die and Live
The battleship's conference room.
All I could see was clouds of smoke, and these old guys who had stopped smoking for a long time were puffing away at the clouds with grimaces.
Ding Xiaoyi gave them a guarantee that they would be able to obtain sufficient supplies and fields for farming on Paradise Island.
This is the greatest guarantee he can give.
Although it is not good, the basic guarantee has been achieved. If you want to live a more comfortable and better life, then it depends on how they talk to the host Belan.
To be honest, my impression of Belan is pretty good.
A little timid and not very lucky, he was obsessed with money and exchanged his lifeblood for a piece of garbage.
When Wangcai burned down his house, he was driven to a dead end.
But because of Wangcai's secret support and guidance, this guy was transformed. After several transactions at Lost Mansion, he quickly became the core of Paradise Island. He held two important positions in diplomacy and supplies, which can be regarded as a success.
impressive.
But Wangcai's ambition goes far beyond that.
Although Belan is now managing property and has squeezed into the core of Paradise Island's management, he has no foundation after all.
Even though he used the [Acacia Snail] given to Lost Mansion by Ding Xiaoyi to get the correct method of using psychic essence in advance, he quietly achieved a breakthrough in strength.
But applause is hard to stop, and support from experts and capable people is still needed.
This is why Wangcai spends so much time trying to recruit these old guys.
Now that they had Ding Xiaoyi's guarantee, the minds of several old people who were following Howard began to become active.
After discussion, everyone decided to take a gamble. No matter how bad the situation was, it would be much better than the current situation.
After seeing that everyone has determined the future direction.
Howard felt relieved. This matter was confirmed, and it also settled one of his worries.
Thinking of this, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Mu Wandi taking careful care of the drunk Wang Jialiang. Stars almost appeared in the girl's eyes when he looked at her.
Not to mention how twisted Howard was.
"Now that we have decided, let's do this. Later we will take a boat to a few villages and pick up all the people who can be picked up and are willing to leave. As for those who are unwilling to leave, let them gather together.
Let me take care of them."
"Ah! Brother, aren't you leaving??"
After hearing what Howard said, several old men screamed. It wasn't that they couldn't bear to part with Howard, but they were worried about whether the other party would still honor the previously negotiated terms without Howard following them.
Knowing what these old guys were thinking, Howard waved his hand to indicate that they did not need to persuade them, and assured them that Ding Xiaoyi's words could definitely be trusted.
Another thing Howard didn't mention was that this trip to the underground palace was originally a test of Ding Xiaoyi's character.
So what if he is Chen Xinghe's apprentice, after all, only in the face of interests can we see a person's true appearance clearly.
According to the original plan, the Ghost Saint would personally watch every move of the three of them along the way. If Ding Xiaoyi dared to mess around, the Ghost Saint would activate the mechanism and find ways to kill this kid.
However, who would have thought that Ding Xiaoyi did not follow their planned wishes.
Instead, he took the three of them astray. Fortunately, even so, Ding Xiaoyi's style along the way ensured that his character was indeed fine.
This is also the reason why Howard trusts Ding Xiaoyi so much.
"But brother, what are you doing here? Why don't you go out with us and see the sun?"
Some people are still worried and want to persuade.
But Howard had already made up his mind, and naturally they couldn't change it easily. He didn't have much time, so why waste time going to a strange place.
"Let's go, it's decided. I'll go out and talk to Xiao Yi!"
Howard didn't give these people a chance to speak again. He walked out of the door of the conference room and walked to the deck step by step along the corridor filled with gold.
Every few steps you take, the quaint hatch in front of you will automatically and slowly open.
Don't underestimate these hatches. Sitting in the conference room, you find that as a disaster spirit, you can't see what's going on outside at all.
"Hey, comparing people to each other is so irritating."
Howard couldn't help but envy Ding Xiaoyi again.
He is strong, and he has married a wife who is even stronger. At such a young age, the young couple can surpass the hard work of old guys like them in a lifetime.
No, I guess it will last more than eight lifetimes.
With a rant in his heart, Howard stepped onto the deck.
However, just as he stepped out of the deck, a sharp cold light suddenly stared at him from above.
The murderous cold light made Howard's heart tighten. He looked back and saw an old man much younger than himself, glaring at him with a cold face, as if he was waiting for him here.
"Who are you……"
Before he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning flashed out from the old man's hand: "You bastard, you don't even recognize me, you'll die!!"
The diameter of the lightning was several feet, and the lightning flashed down. It was too sudden and hard to guard against. Howard jumped up, and at the same time, two strange facial masks appeared in front of him, and they suddenly shattered under the lightning.
"Bind!"
As soon as the word "bin" came out, a dark curse suddenly surged out of Li Chuanhai.
The power of the black curse also weakened Li Chuanhai's lightning. Although it was only for a short moment, Howard seized the opportunity and immediately avoided it.
"Who are you? I don't know you? Xiao Yi, come out!"
After Howard stood firm, he immediately called Ding Xiaoyi's name.
However, he didn't appear even after calling twice.
But Li Chuanhai laughed loudly and pointed at Howard: "Second brother, you left without saying a word, but you didn't care about my life or death. Do you know how hard it has been for me to find you all these years?"
Hearing the word "second brother", Howard was stunned for a moment. After thinking about the violent thunder and lightning just now, he realized that the person in front of him was none other than the third of the four brothers, Li Chuanhai.
After learning the identity of the other party, Howard was about to explain.
But Li Chuanhai didn't give him a chance to explain at all. He raised his hand and struck, and the first move he made was a fatal move.
"Rumble..."
Golden thunder fell from the sky, the light was blazing, and the thick and terrifying electric arc outlined a golden mountain in the air. It fell down, and it was terrifying and suffocating.
Howard's expression suddenly became extremely ugly. After struggling in a panic, his body was blown away more than ten meters by a huge force.
My hands felt numb from the electricity, but I still patiently said: "Don't do anything, just listen to my explanation!"
"I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen..."
Li Chuanhai covered his ears, not intending to listen to any explanation.
Immediately, the figure rushed towards Howard crazily, and for a moment there was lightning, thunder, and bright light.
The terrifying power revived the entire battleship again, and a huge force immediately threw the two people out of the battleship this time.
Arriving at the mid-air Li Chuanhai, he felt as if he was swimming like a fish in water.
Opening the psychic space, thunder and lightning suddenly fell down, covering the sky of the main film, and golden thunder entangled together, turning into a sea of lightning, terrifying and boundless, bursting out with an electric light, making the pirates on the deck tremble with fear.
At the other end of the deck, Tu Yuniang was seen standing behind the wheelchair, her delicate hands were along his neck, gently pressing on his shoulders. She couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw Tu Yuniang.
"You said before that he has a chance to reach the middle level of disaster spirit. It seems that he does have a great chance."
Ding Xiaoyi pouted: "Of course!"
The reason why he dared to say this was because he knew what happened to Li Chuanhai. When his wife and children left, he was still young, so he stopped the habit of taking psychic essence.
This instead reduced the toxins accumulated in his body to very little.
After Li Chuanhai broke through the disaster spirit, this toxicity has long since disappeared.
In addition, Li Chuanhai is still young, only a few months older than Boss Chen, and his energy is much stronger than those old guys in the union, so the chance of entering the middle level of the disaster spirit is still quite high.
If you add your own help, you may not have a chance to reach the top level.
Of course, this probability is not high.
"But if you do this, are you sure that old guy can survive?" Tu Yuniang was referring to Howard.
There was a sea of thunder rolling in front of him. Li Chuanhai was surrounded by thunder and lightning, like a god. The power of the curse imparted to Howard by the Holy Ghost was of no use at all.
In just a short time, Howard was struck by lightning several times.
If the fighting continues, it is estimated that Howard will be beaten to death by Li Chuanhai before long.
Ding Xiaoyi didn't speak, just stared at Howard, holding tightly in one hand the [Soul Capture Box] and the [Wish Coin] that the old man gave him.
Seeing Howard being struck by lightning again, Ding Xiaoyi said intently: "You have to fight for your own life. Instead of asking me to help, it is better to let him break through on his own."
He admitted that he was taking a huge gamble.
I absorbed the power of Zhou Fu's Five Elements and combined it with my understanding of the Five Elements.
Heavenly thunder can destroy all things, and it can also nourish all things.
Lightning can kill a tree, but there are also cases where dead trees regenerate after being struck by lightning.
Howard's body just couldn't hold on any longer, but the Heart of Wood was different. If the potential of the Heart of Wood could be unleashed, Howard might have a chance to break through.
Once he breaks through on his own, his destiny will be rewritten.
Since he had escaped his fate, the emperor had given up a false proposition. This was the draw he had in mind.
This was also what he thought of when he saw the words "Kill oneself to become a benevolent person" written on the piece of paper that Liao Qiu left for him. However, what he thought of was not to kill oneself to become a benevolent person, but to risk one's life and survive.
Of course, Howard alone can't do this, but he can use a little bit of tricks.
Watching wisps of lightning penetrate into Howard's body, tearing his skin and flesh apart again and again, and then the slender wooden roots reconnect the flesh and blood tissue.
Ding Xiaoyi took a deep breath, flicked his fingers, and saw that the [wishing copper coin] he was playing with on his fingertips was slowly thrown into the air.
