"Let me think about it! I really do have such a person here. Although Chizhao Island does not have an island owner like other islands, this person's prestige on the island is no less than that of any other island. Lord. His name is Bear Man. He is not only outstanding in strength but also courageous. He was quite famous among the black bear demon clan during his lifetime. As long as we can convince him, it will not be difficult to get most of the dead souls on Chizhao Island to join us!" Wuyou! The holy boy said confidently.
"Why did such a person like him end up on Chizhao Island?" Ouyang Xueye asked curiously.
"He was originally assigned to Blue Lotus Island. Just before you came to the Infinite Heaven Realm, he secretly helped a compatriot with whom he had a close relationship escape from Chizhao Island to Blue Lotus Island, but he was reported by the villain. According to the rules of the Infinite Heaven, he was assigned to be the foreman of the weapons workshop on Chizhao Island. He had to work for twelve years before he could return to Lanlian Island. Unexpectedly, there was only one year left in the twelve-year period. When it was about to end, the Taoist suddenly changed and changed the rules, and he stayed in Chizhao." The worry-free holy boy responded angrily.
After hearing what Wuyou Saint Boy said, Ouyang Hongye felt that this bear man was indeed a very suitable candidate, so he said: "Okay, then I will start writing to this person now!"
"Try to write as concisely and understandably as possible. Bear Man is a rough man!" Wuyou Saint Boy said with a smile.
"Yeah, I got it!"
Ouyang Xueye compared the past and present boundless heavens, and truthfully pointed out the transformation of the extraordinary Tao and his further oppression of the souls on Chizhao Island. Of course, he also mentioned that the extraordinary Tao had wantonly tampered with the original regulations, etc. thing, and then he expressed their suspicions about the Taoism in a concise and concise manner, and finally sincerely invited him to join. But it didn't mention anything about how the war with the non-Dao would unfold, which was a preparation for if the Bear Man refused to join them.
The Holy Boy Wuyou took a boat overnight to deliver this letter to Xiong Man, and told him to read the letter when no one else was around, and then anxiously waited for the reply from Chizhao Island. He found that the Extraordinary Dao did not act quickly as Ouyang Xueye expected. This was undoubtedly because he was too conceited about his power in the infinite heaven. It also caused a setback for him and Ouyang Xueye. The whole plan bought time.
On Bauhinia Island, Xia Qiu's special training continued. Ouyang Xueye would personally guide her for a period of time every morning, and then leave her to practice alone in Ziyunju. She can already skillfully control the transformed Xiaolibai to fly in the air, but her accuracy in shooting arrows while flying at high speeds still needs to be improved.
The tacit understanding between Xiaolibai and her is far beyond Ouyang Xueye's imagination. It can be said that they are perfect. The biggest reason is the high degree of trust between them. Even when flying at a steep angle and at high speed, Xia Qiu still dared to release his hands to use the weapon. The reason why she is so devoted is because she knows that the war will start soon, and she must have the strength to protect herself before then.
After Ouyang Xueye saw Wuyou Holy Boy that day, he went to find out about Mr. He. As expected, Mr. He had completely disappeared from Bauhinia Island. Because he has been living alone and doesn't interact with others much, no one can tell who specifically took him away at what time. But Ouyang Xueye knew very well in his heart that he was the one who harmed Mr. He. If he hadn't repeatedly asked Mr. He about the situation of the Soul Leaving Realm that day, and thought that there was some kind of relationship between it and the Infinite Heaven Realm and the Demon Realm, Mr. He would not suffer this fate, but he didn't know at the time that he had been under extraordinary surveillance.
After Xia Qiu's training in the morning, he began to walk around Bauhinia Island in the afternoon to contact people. Privately, everyone was quite dissatisfied with the tyranny of the Taoist in the past few years, but they were suspicious of what Ouyang Xueye said. The true Taoism has been replaced by others, but it is still doubtful. The fact that most of them are willing to join his plan is due to their respect for him as a person, which shows the strength of his personality. There is even a voice on Bauhinia Island, hoping that he can take charge of the infinite heaven instead of the extraordinary Tao. .
There are two workshops on Chizhao Island. The larger one is a weapons workshop for making weapons, and the other is a much smaller one for manufacturing various production and daily utensils.
At this time, in the weapons workshop, hot air rolled upwards along with the liquid formed after the metal melted. The revenants mechanically control extremely primitive machinery. The metal is turned into liquid in the furnace and then flows into the grinding tool to cool and shape it into the rough shape of knives, guns, swords and other weapons. But they still look very rough when they come out of the mold, so they still need to go through processes such as grinding, polishing, painting, and even engraving.
The revenants don't talk to each other as they work, because just completing the task at hand makes them exhausted. Each one of them was sweating from the heat of the forge and dizzy from the harsh sound of forging weapons.
Xiong Man is the foreman of this weapons workshop. Although he is the foreman, he is the one who does the most work here every day. At that time, a member of his clan who had a good relationship with him was actually sent to Chizhao Island after his death. Because he couldn't stand the long days and nights of working in the workshop, he secretly begged him when competitions were held between the islands. Help yourself to escape from Chizhao. Bear Man couldn't turn a blind eye to the pleadings of his fellow tribesmen, so he tried to move him to Blue Lotus Island, but he never expected to be reported by a very Taoist person who wanted to please.
Although the Taoist thought that he broke the rules for the sake of brotherhood, this matter had been made public by the whistleblower, so it was not convenient for him to cheat, so he had to give him a weapons workshop on Chizhao Island according to the rules. The punishment for being a foreman is twelve years, and you can only return to Lanlian after twelve years.
In fact, he is called a foreman, but this foreman is not something that ordinary people can be. Most of the dead souls who were sent to Chizhao Island had done all kinds of evil during their lives, and their hands were stained with blood, so they were extremely difficult to manage. At first, Xiong Man thought about getting closer to them and becoming a kind leader, but he soon discovered that this trick didn't work for them. The only thing that could conquer these guys might be strength.
So he held a competition on Chizhao Island. No weapons were allowed, but only spiritual power and attack ability were tested. The competition is held in a round-robin manner after work every night, and the reward is one-third of all participants' monthly wages. Even so, in order to legitimately become the boss of Chizhao, a place of chaos, there are still many dead souls who are willing to pay to participate.
After several rounds, Xiong Nan passed all the tests and finally entered the finals. He faced the wolf demon Bingyan who dominated Chizhao Island before he arrived there. Comparing the two in terms of strength alone, Xiong Nan is slightly better, but when it comes to fighting skills and experience, he is far inferior to Bing Yan, so that the final battle is very suspenseful.
That night, after getting off work, all the dead souls held their dinners and stood around the ring where the competition was about to begin. The so-called arena is actually located behind the workshop. It is just an open space surrounded by wooden stakes and thick ropes. In previous competitions, the thick ropes have been destroyed several times by the contestants, so that there were a lot of beatings on it at this time. The knots, combined with the dilapidated steel-joined building of the weapons workshop as the background, make it even more desolate.
Bingyan obviously didn't take Xiong Man seriously. He knew in his heart that in a real competition, experience was often much more important than strength, and whether he could make up his mind to make ruthless moves at critical moments, even if he died together with his opponent. And in these two points, he is better than Xiong Man.
With the sound of a gong breaking, the competition is about to begin. Xiong Nan jumped into the competition arena, while Bing Yan lazily climbed in from the rope. The dead souls watching the battle could see that he did not take Xiong Nan seriously.
"Still follow the old rules! The competition will last until one side admits defeat!" The little monkey demon chess piece who just broke the gong reiterated this only rule to both sides on the ring.
"Yeah, I got it!" Xiong Man nodded.
"There's so much nonsense, let's start quickly!" Bing Yan glared disdainfully and said with a twist of his mouth.
The little chess piece was so frightened that he quickly said, "Okay, okay!" and then shouted, "Start!"
Then he banged the gong in his hand hard, and then rushed down the ring as if running for his life. After watching so many competitions, he knew in his heart that if he was accidentally injured by these two strong men, it would be very serious. Killed him.
Bing Yan stretched out his hand and greeted Xiong Man twice, provoking him to take the lead. But Xiong Man did not fall for his deception, but stayed in a stalemate with him to find the right opportunity. He could see the arrogance coming from the other party, and this might be his opportunity.
He knew that he was not as fast as Bing Yan, so he was not suitable for quick attacks. Instead, he should use defense as offense, relying on his two iron fists to take advantage of the loopholes in the opponent's strong attack to fight back. So he made himself look calm on the surface, and although he kept his posture on the spot, he was reluctant to take a step forward.
Soon there were bursts of boos below.
"What?! You lost so much wages, and then you let us watch this in the end?!"
"No, both of them are standing there like logs. Who wouldn't?"
"Is this a plan to shake hands and make peace?"
"Go down! Give us back our money!"
"That's right, get down!"
The bear man was unmoved, but Bingyan's nerves were stimulated by these harsh taunts. He soon couldn't hold himself back and began to take the lead in attacking the bear man. He suddenly exerted force on his feet and rushed towards the bear man. His movements were as fast as lightning and flint.
"Wow!"
"It's so fast!"
"Amazing!"
The people watching the battle couldn't see his movements clearly, they could only express various admirations.
Bing Yan rushed in front of Xiong Man and used the Wolf Claw move to shoot left and right. He felt that his several attacks had been successful, so he stepped aside to see how badly Xiong Man was injured by him. Everyone looked at the bear man as curiously as he did, only to see that he was still standing there steadily, with no wounds on his body, except for a few tears in the clothes on his arms.
"You're not injured?!" Bingyan said in disbelief.
"When you were making moves, I was also making moves. Maybe they just matched your moves!" Xiong Man responded to him deliberately and naively.
"Haha, it must be a coincidence, don't be complacent."
After Bingyan finished speaking, he attacked again. He first rushed to the bear man and feinted a shot, then walked around behind him and swung down his claws. This time, he clearly saw Xiong Man's strength. He didn't seem to be fooled by his fake moves at all, and he had already known that he would attack him from behind. Before he could turn his head back, one of his hands was already behind his back. He held one of Bingyan's hands, then turned around and twisted, put the other hand on his shoulder, and pressed down with all his strength. Bingyan was immediately pressed to one knee by him. On the ground.
Various discussions resounded all around again:
"The winner is determined so quickly!"
"It's so boring, Ice Eyes turns out to be so weak!"
"Oh, my money has been wasted."
…
At the moment when Xiong Man was a little complacent because he thought he had won, Bing Yan first lowered his body and then pushed upwards, and got out from under him.
