Chapter 333: Chapter 298: Escape from the Island?

Zhang Shaoyang was merely born into a common cultivation family, the clan was newly established and did not practice any of the Hundred Skills of Cultivation.

The Smoke and Mist Sect was most proficient in the art of Artifact Refining, but unfortunately, Zhang Shaoyang had little contact with it, hence he was only assigned to the job of a ’Spirit Farmer’.

Among the more than twenty newcomers, only four were accepted into the village.

Among them was Gao Meijing!

Who knows what method she used to get into the village.

The so-called Spirit Farmer was to open up wasteland and plant crops around the village.

Under the leadership of Hea Wang, Zhang Shaoyang and a dozen other ’Spirit Farmers’ arrived in the planting area.

"From now on, this will be your workplace, everyone will build their own thatched huts, then go to me to receive tools and seeds..."

Hea Wang instructed, "Don’t worry, Master Hu won’t let you go hungry, everyone can go to the village entrance to get food every day."

"The crops you grow, the village will take sixty percent as tax, and you can keep the remaining forty percent."

"Heh heh heh... of course, I know you all feel wronged, after all, you were cultivators, right? I was too back then! Late-stage Foundation Establishment... but unfortunately, it’s of no use here!"

Hea Wang said indifferently, "Everyone... if you need anything, you can come to Room No. 3 at the A area to find me, hahahaha..."

After Hea Wang left, soon there were only more than twenty cultivators left who had been captured and brought here.

"Damn it! These people dare to humiliate us like this, if only I had magical power..."

"Isn’t that nonsense! If I had magical power, I could kill them all by myself!"

"What to do... are we really going to stay here for the rest of our lives?"

"Hehehe... I just used up the last bit of magical power to take out a puppet, which can be driven by divine thought. I wonder if anyone would like to team up with me to get out of here?"

"A puppet? Good idea! I also took out a Tier Two Gu Insect, I’m in!!"

"Count me in! Mr. Liang used to have a few Innate Realm Martial Artists following me, and I’ve also tried practicing some Martial Arts Secret Manuals, I still have some skills..."

A group of people discussed in low voices, and quickly split into groups of threes and twos.

Someone also tried to recruit Zhang Shaoyang, but Zhang Shaoyang shook his head and refused.

He planned to wait and see how the situation developed. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

On the other side of the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror, Zheng Yi was also keeping an eye on this island.

With his divine sense, he could cover the entire island.

No one’s actions could escape his scan.

He also wanted to see what actions these people would take.

Soon night fell.

In Zhang Shaoyang’s perception, four people quietly sneaked away from the mountaintop, heading toward the seaside.

The leader was the old man with a puppet, who called himself ’Han Wo’.

Another was a cultivator with a Tier Three Gu Insect, who called himself ’Guu Yuan’.

The other two were cultivators who had practiced Martial Arts Secret Manuals, but unfortunately, their weapons were only dagger-sized flying swords.

Since the four were all cultivators, their movements were swift, and they quickly left the mountaintop.

Zhang Shaoyang reluctantly stopped using his divine thought to scan, as did the other cultivators.

But in the A area rooms, Hea Wang slowly opened his eyes, full of indifference.

"Heh, there are still people not afraid of death..."

After saying this, he didn’t pay further attention, closing his eyes again to regulate his inner breath.

Meanwhile, Zheng Yi, using the power of the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror, was constantly monitoring these four.

In the dark night, the four moved swiftly, and quickly entered the dense forest.

Han Wo said, "All the way here, I have been keeping an eye on the surrounding environment and roads."

"On the east side of the island, there seems to be a dock, we can seize the sea ship there and negotiate with Chen Hu and others!"

"Negotiate?"

Guu Yuan asked in confusion, "Fellow Daoist Han, aren’t we supposed to leave here?"

"Leave? Go where?"

Han Wo retorted, "Do you know about this place, the Spiritless Island... there’s no spiritual qi here, we need a map of this place and specific intelligence to survive here."

"Whether we settle here or leave in the future, we cannot do without a map and intelligence!"

These words left Guu Yuan and the other two in astonishment.

"As expected of Fellow Daoist Han, to think so thoroughly!"

"As long as the four of us join forces, whether to protect ourselves or leave this place, we are already... who is there!"

Han Wo suddenly turned his head and saw several pairs of ghostly blue eyes appear in the dense forest not far away.

"Desolate Beasts!"

"It’s Desolate Beasts!"

"Don’t panic!"

Han Wo said in a low voice, casually throwing a flash of blue light, and instantly, a puppet in the shape of a giant wolf appeared on the ground.

This giant wolf was more than a person high, its body made of refined iron, and its joints were inlaid with special crystal stones, emitting a faint glow even in the dark.

"Roar!"

As soon as the puppet appeared, those ghostly blue eyes not far away swiftly approached, accompanied by a series of beastly roars from the surrounding forest.

"It’s coming!"

"Be careful!"

With a low cry, under the moonlight, a desolate beast shaped like a monkey charged out, its fist smashing towards the wolf-shaped puppet.

Han Wo performed a hand seal, his divine thought moved, and with a ’crack’, the giant wolf puppet’s mouth suddenly opened, shooting out a burst of blue light at an extremely fast speed.

"Plop!"

The blue light easily left a bone-deep wound on the monkey desolate beast, blood spurted out, but the monkey desolate beast’s massive body also took advantage of the momentum to slam heavily onto the giant wolf puppet.

"Damn it! Why has the power decreased so much... Fellow Daoists, quickly make your move!"

Han Wo shouted, and Guu Yuan immediately threw out a flash of yellow light, revealing a centipede the size of an adult’s palm, which flew out and bit into the chest of the monkey desolate beast.

"Plop!"

The centipede easily drilled through the wound left by the blue light, and the smell of poison quickly spread, clearly having taken effect as the beast’s movements slowed.

The other two rushed to the monkey desolate beast’s side, and their flying swords, which were now only daggers, all slashed at the creature’s neck.

"Roar!"

The monkey desolate beast roared in anger, with a dying swipe that hit one of them, sending him flying into a tree, spitting blood from his mouth.

"Roar!"

"Roar Roar!!"

In the darkness, more hulking creatures charged out, crashing in with incredible savagery and speed.

"Bam!"

"Bam Bam!!"

In the darkness, flashes of blue light, sounds of collisions, and cries of pain were continuously heard, accompanied by several trees being knocked down.

"Ah!"

Soon, with a scream, a cultivator was caught by a monkey desolate beast and was torn in half with a forceful pull, blood flying everywhere like a torrential rain.

Meanwhile, the giant wolf puppet of Han Wo was also smashed to pieces.

"Quick, retreat!"

"Bam!"

"Ah...!"

"Damn it! Fellow Daoist Han... ah!"

"Plop!"

Soon, the entire forest fell silent, leaving only the sound of the desolate beasts chewing loudly and the blood mist lingering in the forest.

More than an hour later, after the desolate beasts left, several more figures arrived at the scene.

"Mmm, not bad, a Tier Two puppet, the materials can still be dismantled and forged into armor, four flying swords, three black-haired ape corpses..."

"Master Hu truly has great ideas, letting these newcomers fight the desolate beasts while we reap the rewards from behind."

"The best part is, we don’t even have to risk our lives, hahaha..."
