Fantasy World Adventure

Chapter 76 The Mysterious Island Owner

As the mermaid king swam all the way to the lake, Xueyan seemed to understand why the mermaid prince wanted to become a human.Although she has the heart of a mermaid, she can also breathe and move freely in the water, but even so she is still unwilling to stay in the water for a long time, just because there is no clear sky, no birds and flowers, and the most missing thing is It's just warm.The underwater world is always gloomy and cold, which makes her uncomfortable.

"Come to me, human." Seeing that Xueyan was still in place, the mermaid king who had already reached the bottom of the waterfall shouted at her.

Xueyan looked at it in surprise, wondering what it was doing there?Does the island owner live behind the waterfall?It shouldn't be, the water flow of this waterfall is relatively thin, and the water is scattered when it falls, so you can clearly see through the rock wall behind the waterfall and there is no entrance.Could it be...

Xueyan thought for a moment and made an upward gesture, then looked at the Mermaid King with questioning eyes.Although the waterfall was thinner, the sound was still loud. She didn't have a voice as big as the Mermaid King and could shout out so loudly, so she could only gesture towards it.

The Mermaid King was stunned for a moment when he saw her gesture, but he soon understood and shouted to her: "You guessed it right, can you get up there by yourself?"

Sure enough, as she thought, Xueyan nodded to it.Seeing her nodding, the mermaid king ignored her. His broad tail patted the water surface lightly, and a jet of water lifted it up into the air quickly.Seeing that it had already moved, Xueyan used Feitian to dehydrate without delay and flew towards the end of the waterfall.

The waterfalls on this island do not flow down from the top of the mountain like the waterfalls in other places, but flow directly from the middle of the stone wall, so when Xue Yan looked up and saw the black hole flowing out of water, she guessed that the mysterious island owner The entrance to the residence is probably there, and the reason why this lake is called Fairy Lake is probably because of her relationship.

The closer she got to the hole, Xueyan realized that it was much bigger than what she had seen before. The hole was wide enough to run a train.But standing outside, she couldn't see where the water came from, as if it came out of nowhere, without seeing the source.

The mermaid king jumped in very quickly when he came to the entrance of the cave, but it disappeared after entering, and Xueyan couldn't see its figure at all, so she thought that there must be something like an enchantment at the entrance of the cave.After hesitating for a while, Xueyan also leaned towards the entrance of the cave, and stretched out her hand to try to pass through the barrier.The hand was passed smoothly, and Xueyan no longer worried that her whole body leaned over like a barrier.

After crossing the barrier, Xue Yan discovered that there was a cave inside. A bluestone-paved road stretched to the distance, and there was a fist-sized luminous pearl on the wall every few meters, making the light inside bright and very soft.The roof of the cave is covered with stalactites, and water droplets fall to the ground along the tip of the stone with a crisp sound.

Xue Yan glanced around but found that the Mermaid King was no longer there, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange.It shouldn't be so anxious that it doesn't even have the patience to wait for her, right?But then I thought about it and thought it was possible. After all, there was only one road here. It didn't matter if she took one step first. She wouldn't get lost anyway.Thinking of this, Xue Yan walked inside along the bluestone path.

The road in the cave was very tortuous, and the constant turning made her lose her sense of direction, so she could only walk down the road in a daze.It's just that she never met the mermaid king along the way, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the mermaid can walk so fast on land!
After finally reaching the end of Qingshi Road, the scenery in front of me changed again.A small stone palace stood in front of her eyes, and in front of the palace was a small flower garden with many plants that gave off a faint light.This reminded her that there were many similar plants in the tunnel where she met the night, and the ones here should also be some precious medicinal herbs.

Is this where the island owner lives?Xueyan guessed that it was just that the gate of the stone palace was closed, and she didn't know whether the island owner was there or not.

At this moment, the gate of the Stone Palace suddenly opened, and a beautiful woman's voice came from inside: "Since you're here, come in and have a seat!"

The sound alone was so pleasant that Xue Yan suddenly became very interested in the owner of the sound.Without hesitation, she walked towards the stone palace. She wanted to see how beautiful that face even the nine-tailed fox praised was.Will it look better than night?She couldn't help but compare the two in her heart.

Through an aisle, Xueyan came to the hall of the stone palace, but unfortunately she didn't see the mysterious island owner as she wished, and the hall was empty.And this hall seems to be the owner's showroom, with all kinds of strange things displayed on the walls, like an exhibition.

Xueyan's attention was attracted by these things for a while, and she carefully looked at all the exhibits on the wall one by one along the wall.A small gourd with a strange shape, a small medicinal cauldron with a translucent but metallic luster, a willow leaf-shaped boat... The things here are all very small without exception, like models with no idea of ​​what they are used for.

Suddenly something made her stunned, it was a silver chain shaped like a bracelet, one end of the chain was a silver dragon head, and the other end was a dragon tail.Speaking of which, the shape of the chain is not unique, but for some reason Xueyan couldn't take her eyes away after seeing it, and at the same time had an urge to take it away.

"If I were you, I wouldn't touch it." The pleasant voice suddenly sounded again, which startled Xueyan who was focusing on the chain and jumped.

She turned around suddenly and found a very beautiful woman standing behind her with a smile and looking at her.She is really beautiful, so beautiful that Xueyan can't find words to describe her, it feels like she has all the advantages of all the beauties in the world, and she can't think of any words except perfect Xueyan.

"Are you the owner of this island?" The amazement turned into amazement, but Xueyan did not forget the purpose of her trip. Although she was basically determined in her heart, she still asked confirmingly.

"Didn't you already guess it?" The woman didn't answer directly, but asked back with a sly smile.

"Are you admitting my guess?" Xueyan said not to be outdone.

"Hee hee, you're very interesting! Tell me, what's the reason you came to see me?" Instead of going around the corner with her, the island owner asked directly with a coquettish smile.

"I came here to ask the island owner to tell me, how can I leave here and return to the place where I came from?" Now that she asked, Xueyan also just mentioned her purpose.

"Leave here? It's very simple. As long as your strength surpasses mine, the enchantment I set up will not be difficult for you, and you can leave." She still smiled and spoke very casually. It's like talking about what to have for lunch today.

But Xueyan couldn't help frowning at her words, is she stronger than her?What are you kidding?Not to mention that I haven't entered the stage of self-cultivation, even if I have entered it, it will definitely not happen overnight if I want to surpass her in strength.Both the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Mermaid King have said that they have never seen anyone who can leave this island. Even spirit beasts like them, who have lived for thousands of years, cannot do such a thing. Wouldn’t it be a dream to surpass her? ?
"Is there any other way?" Xue Yan had to continue asking.

"There are other ways, but..." The island owner hesitated, making Xue Yan feel very bad.

"Just what?" Seeing that she refused to continue, Xue Yan could only urge her.

"It's nothing, it's just that you have to pay a small price." The island owner had a strange smile on his face, as if he had encountered something very interesting.

"What price?" Her expression made Xueyan feel very bad, looking at her and asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, let's talk about something else first. To be honest, I'm very curious about your coming here. Can you tell me how you got here?" The island owner asked. He refused to tell her directly.

"It came directly from the sea." Since her purpose was to tease her and make her anxious, Xueyan calmed down instead and answered her words flatly.

"Floating over here? Weren't you blocked by the border spirit beasts?" The island owner seemed very surprised by her answer.

"It should be accepted! I don't know!" Xue Yan said casually, but what she said was indeed the truth.

"Don't know? How could you not know?" But the island owner obviously didn't believe her and thought she didn't tell her on purpose. "Hurry up and tell me the truth, otherwise I won't tell you how to leave Fairy Island!"

Xueyan felt a little strange about her threat, why was she so interested in this matter?Is it simply because you are bored?After thinking about it, Xueyan said to her: "Since you are so interested in this matter, it's okay for me to tell you, but you have to introduce your collection to me first, I am also very interested in these things."

"I think you are interested in that chain! You stared at it for a long time before!" The island owner was taken aback by Xueyan's request, and then understood her intentions, and directly revealed it.

"That's right! Can you tell me?" Xueyan shrugged nonchalantly.She was really interested in that chain, and always felt that it had an inexplicable attraction for her.

"It's okay to tell you, my biggest hobby is collecting all kinds of treasures, and these things here are all collected by me from various continents, most of them are at the level of artifacts. And the one you fancy, its Its name is Tianmie, and it is a very rare weapon that integrates offense and defense! Once Tianmie recognizes its owner, it will automatically protect its owner from harm. If you want to hurt its owner, you must first break its defense. , Isn't it a pretty good thing?" Speaking of her collection, she seemed very proud.

It turned out that it was called Tian Mie, Xueyan pondered for a while, and then said to her: "OK, since you have satisfied my request, I might as well tell you how I got here."

As soon as Xueyan said that he wanted to tell, the island owner immediately focused all his attention on her.

"Actually, it's very simple. I didn't lie to you just now. I really don't know how I crossed the border, because I was thrown into the sea after I was in a coma, and then floated over with the waves. How could I possibly be in a coma? Do you know if you have been attacked?" Xue Yan believed that as a high-level NPC, she should know the system's settings for players to be comatose.

"So that's the reason, it turned out to be this reason." A look of enlightenment immediately appeared on her face. "Let me just say, there must be something wrong, otherwise, as an adventurer who has not even crossed the threshold of cultivation, how could it be possible to come to the junction of the two continents? It turns out that you are using the protection of the Great God! In this case……"

"Wait, you mean a great god? Has anyone already cultivated to become a god?" Although her words were simple, Xueyan still heard a useful piece of information. It was the first time she heard that there was a god in this game. Didn't Die Ji have never been successful in crossing the catastrophe for tens of thousands of years?Isn't Ye the most likely person to become a god?Could it be that another cultivator with more potential than him appeared in the past 1000 years?
