There are 90 islands and 50,000 people, with an average of more than 500 people on each island.
Tuoji Island is located on the coast of Jiaodong. The island has a long coastline and a wide area. There are hills on the island and lush vegetation. It used to govern 8 administrative villages, which have long been abandoned.
Each village has a fishing port, commonly known as Kou, with gentle beaches and unobstructed shallow sea, which is also the landing place for these people.
Tang Bole was one of the last group, and came out of the water with a splash. When he stepped on the beach, he felt a blur before his eyes, and a long strange thing shot towards him like an arrow.
He tilted his head slightly, only to feel wet and sticky rubbing against his face, as if full of knife teeth, scraping off a piece of flesh.
After a face-to-face meeting, he died, and his left face turned up, revealing bloody broken tissue, with a slight continuous damage effect, and red numbers -1-1-1-1 kept floating above his head.
Tang Bole didn't feel the pain, so he rushed directly to his opponent - it was a blue-eyed toad half the height of a person.
His sword is specially made, slightly wider than the green steel sword, the back of the sword is thicker, and the weight is also very heavy. Two deep blood grooves on the front and back are smeared on the sword, suppressing the cold light of the sharp blade, revealing a gloomy dark.
The sword presses against the top of the head, opens and closes, and cuts towards the opponent with a mighty momentum.
"Cuckoo... croak!"
The toad jumped, as fast as a phantom, and landed on Tang Bole's left back, opened its mouth wide, and stuck out its tongue again.
If a person holds a sword in his right hand, then his left rear is a very awkward position, and the angle and speed of his moves will be restricted. Hearing the wind coming from behind, Tang Bole grabbed it with his left hand and tightly held his long tongue.
The tongue was covered with thin barbs, blood flowed out immediately, and the flesh was shattered. Tang Bole didn't even hum, but with the strength of his left arm, his whole body turned...
"Cuckoo!"
The toad's tongue was restrained, unable to move, and the fear spread rapidly in the green eyes. It didn't expect that the opponent would use such a desperate style of play!
Puchi!
Following the unique sound of the sharp blade piercing into the pile of flesh and blood, the epee pierced straight from the base of the tongue, reaching the stomach with one step. Then, Tang Bole swung hard, and with a bang, Lian Chan and his sword were smashed to the ground like a skewer.
No matter what, the blue-eyed toad, which is considered an advanced species on the island, died with three moves and two moves.
This wave of operations took only a few breaths of time, and those who landed on the island together were all dumbfounded. And Tang Bole, who was splashed with green blood all over his body, drew his sword and turned around, with a cold expression on his face, as if it was perfectly normal.
For three years in Xueyuan, this kind of life has been lived almost every day, and I still miss it when I think about it!
He took out a pack of medicinal powder from his backpack, spread it on his face casually, and then recalled the lessons he had learned.
He cut open the skin behind the toad's ear, found a glandular sac, and then carefully opened it to reveal a layer of white juice. Then change the knife, scrape off the juice little by little, and store it in the jade bottle.
This is a kind of juice secreted by the glands behind the ears of toads. After filtering and drying, it becomes a pancake-like thing called Toad Su.
Toad veil is a very, very precious raw material, and it is also found in the interior, but Tang Bole smelled it, and the toad veil on this island is obviously of high quality.
He flowed freely without hesitation, attracting those people to come forward one after another, "Brother, do you want to form a team?"
"Which sect do fellow Taoists come from? Get to know each other?"
"Wow, little brother, please take me with you, I am the Ever-changing Avalokitesvara!"
"..."
Without saying a word, Tang Bole cut off the toad's tongue, liver, gallbladder and a little bit of meat before getting up to look at it.
There are about 20 of them, and their clothes are so messy that they are not Taoist disciples at first glance. Moreover, the appearance and dress are quite shabby, and he has no magical weapons. He is probably a member of a small sect or a casual cultivator.
He didn't know what to think, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's take care of each other."
When everyone heard this, they were very excited. They were low in strength, and they were very lucky to be able to board the boat. They really had no confidence in surviving on the island. Immediately, everyone changed their names to each other, and when they heard that they were masters of Phoenix Mountain, they were even more enthusiastic and wanted to die.
"I secretly calculated that there are more than 700 people who came to this island, and two boats."
A guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks already regarded himself as a military adviser, and said: "It's okay to say, but I saw a few people wearing priest robes. They were on another ship and went down early. We don't know the attitude of the other party. We have to be mentally prepared."
"Hey, this competition is so strict, you have to explore many things by yourself."
A petite girl also complained, saying: "Didn't you say that every island has senior supervisors? If they don't show up, we have to find them by ourselves. In the end, there are 200 people left, but how can we stay... ah!"
She suddenly screamed, but in the bushes in front of her, there was a pile of corpses of contestants. There is also a group of black butterflies hovering in the sky, obviously murderers.
In the beginning, people died.
The girl was still innocent, and she couldn't bear it, "Well, seniors don't care? Don't they? Just let them die?"
"Senior's job is to ensure the smooth progress of the game, not our nanny. Although you are not allowed to fight each other, but you are not good enough, and you have been eaten by some wild beast, so you can only accept your fate."
While talking, Tang Bole stared at the group of butterflies. There were about a few hundred of them, and they were very small, no different from ordinary butterflies. But the more this happened, the more frightened he became, because the butterflies didn't emit any breath, they hovered there silently, like an emissary from hell.
Hiss!
He didn't dare to use his life to test it, so he made a decisive decision: "Go another way! Everyone, look around and see if there are any special terrains. It's best to find their lairs."
Everyone also felt fear, retreated one after another, and looked around at the same time. It was that little girl again, who suddenly whispered, "There, isn't there?"
Tang Bole took a look, and saw that there was a deep hole under a mound amidst the dense forest. Butterflies carried the corpses and flew towards the cave, as if they were going to return to their nests.
"Remember the entrance of the cave! There are dense forests and grass here, and there are wild fruits, but there is no beast. It should be that the butterflies are too domineering and dare not approach. There may be other nests on the island. Everyone, be careful when you go to the forest. For the top."
Invisibly, he has become the leader of the team, and everyone claims that he is, and they just want to get away quickly.
Everyone retreated to the beach and unfolded the map to view it. From here to the east, bypassing a rocky beach, there is another fishing port.
So it took a lot of time to detour into the island, relatively safe, and finally did not encounter those terrible butterflies. Along the way, I also met fellow contestants, who were wary of each other and full of curiosity, passing by in a hurry.
Before I knew it, it was already night.
Hundreds of people were scattered in eight villages, resting separately. Tang Bole and others gathered in the yard of a fisherman's hotel, lit a fire, and found wild game to eat.
It's only the first day, and everyone feels that it is very long. Thinking about the whole competition, the first stage will take two months. How long will it take to get to Fujian and Zhejiang, with more than a thousand islands
The above is generous, but the bitterness is these vegetable chickens. Such a competition environment means that you not only have to live, but also have a certain ability to develop.
"In the early stage, survival is the focus, and adaptation to the environment is the most important. In the middle stage, gangs form cliques, and each finds an organization. In the later stage, each gang starts to compete, and the winner remains."
"In this competition, it's not that which group of forces wins, all of them can stay. The island is full of crises, and everyone wants a good player. For example, if our side defeats your side, I can eliminate the weak in the team and exchange for the strong among you. , to increase one's own chances of survival."
"That's right, except for fellow Taoists with deep feelings, they basically fight on their own. Who can stay and who will not agree? So the team is temporary, and the benefits are permanent."
No one is a fool, after the initial nervousness and panic, in the dead of night, everyone, including that soft girl, calmed down. What Tang Bole said, under his leadership, the others were also outspoken.
Naturally, this team is temporary, and any changes and fights in the future are all for their own sake, and those who are eliminated should not be resentful.
"..."
The atmosphere was silent for a while, only the crackling sound of the bonfire could be heard. And Tang Bole spread out the map, thinking over and over again.
Tuoji Island is actually quite famous. There is a clear spring pool on the west side of the island. The nearby stones are blue-black, hard, fine and delicate, with twinkling Venus and surging snow waves. It is one of the famous Luyan stones, named "Golden Star "Snow Wave Stone", was also praised by Emperor Qianlong in a poem.
Of course, being praised by Qianlong for writing poems is not something to be proud of. This guy has written more than 20,000 poems, none of which we need to recite.
He drew a red circle on the clear spring pool, and he must have a look at the mutated stone. Then I drew a circle on a temple. It is said that there are two thousand-year-old ginkgo trees there, and I have to go and see them.
In this way, he delineated several targets, connected them into a route, and then cast his gaze outside the island.
Tuoji Island is located in the middle of the Miaodao Islands. In the south, there are the South Islands composed of Changshan Island, Miao Island, and Daheishan Island.
Due to the limited area, the small island was not included in the list, so there are five more in the south and seven in the north, all of which are occupied by people.
The distance is not too far, ranging from tens to hundreds of kilometers, but it is still very difficult for acquired monks.
"Raft!"
"food!"
"Camp!"
"companion!"
"enemy!"
Tang Bole wrote a set of words, highlighted them, and poked hard at the nearest island—from the beginning, he didn't limit his target to one island.
"What's the matter? What's the matter?"
"It's okay, it's okay, someone just came over and got hurt!"
At this time, there was a burst of noise from the village, and the monks resting in various courtyards were startled, and they all turned their heads to watch. I saw five people stumbling over from outside the village, quite embarrassed.
Three men and two women, all wearing ethnic minority costumes. The man has dark skin, a strong physique, an ordinary appearance but a bright eye, and he can be regarded as a good-looking talent.
There are two women, one is older, with good facial features, she is gentle and elegant; the other is younger, smart and pretty, with a silver bell hanging around her waist.
They seemed to be hunted down by something and fled here. Others were not in the mood to chat, and after watching for a while, they all dispersed.
Tang Bole's heart was moved, and he stepped forward to greet him in a low voice: "How many friends are you from Meishan?"
Um
A woman was slightly stunned. She recognized it with the help of the faint firelight, and felt unfamiliar, and asked, "Who are you?"
"My family, please come in and rest."
