Chapter 1629 Landing on Man-Eating Island
"You..."
Bai Jianghe was immediately sent flying backward.
It wasn't that Bai Jianghe's reaction was too slow, but rather he couldn't believe Chen Xuan would attack him.
So, with that kick from Chen Xuan, Bai Jianghe directly fell into the river.
Bai Jianghe let out a scream, and all the monsters around swarmed him.
The others were also greatly surprised, not expecting Chen Xuan to dare attack Bai Jianghe.
"Kid, how dare you attack someone from my Soul Sect, you're looking for death!"
Qi Chunyu was furious.
She was about to make a move, but Chen Xuan coldly said, "If I didn't throw him out, he would have thrown me out. And don't forget, without me, your Vajra Shield wouldn't be able to hold on."
"You... How do you know the Vajra Shield requires at least four people to operate?"
Qi Chunyu was stunned.
Chen Xuan analyzed, "When Bai Jianghe was about to throw me out as bait just now, he didn't consider the Vajra Shield at all. Clearly, the Vajra Shield can still operate with one less person. If I'm not mistaken, you planned for me to be bait from the start. Am I right?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Chunyu gasped.
She looked at Chen Xuan in shock, because what Chen Xuan said was completely correct.
From the very beginning, Chen Xuan was indeed bait, because they also worried that the Vajra Shield would not hold up.
"Qi Chunyu, aren't you too malicious?"
Xu Chun immediately said upon seeing this.
"None of us are ordinary people, what's there to say? Kid, I won't bother you with this matter for now."
Qi Chunyu snorted coldly, her face expressionless.
She didn't seem to care about Bai Jianghe's death.
Seeing that Bai Jianghe didn't dwell on the matter, Xu Chun didn't say anything further.
"Alright, everyone, let's continue. Relying on the Vajra Shield, I hope we can reach Man-Eating Island," Qi Chunyu said.
The dust settled, as if what had just happened hadn't occurred.
Chen Xuan let out a breath.
He glanced at Xu Chun and saw Xu Chun giving him a thumbs-up. He also returned a smile to Xu Chun.
Just as Chen Xuan and the others were heading towards Man-Eating Island, Bai Jianghe, in the sea, had become riddled with holes, his face pale, snakes crawling out of his seven orifices, looking extremely terrifying.
But at this moment, a mass of black mist suddenly drilled into Bai Jianghe's body. Bai Jianghe's eyes suddenly opened, shooting out a fierce cold glint, and he rushed towards Man-Eating Island at extreme speed.
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Xuan and the others arrived safely at Man-Eating Island.
Upon arriving at Man-Eating Island, they were attracted by the golden sandy beach. The beach was actually made of gold sand!
"Oh my god, it's a golden beach!!"
"There are diamonds on it too!"
"Look at the coconut trees, the coconuts on them are all spirit fruits!"
Qi Chunyu leaped onto a coconut tree and immediately picked a few coconuts. Indeed, these coconuts were spirit fruits.
Everyone was extremely excited. Fortunately, they came early, otherwise, they would likely not have gotten their hands on so many good things.
Chen Xuan was also surprised, but he had been to the Underworld, where he had seen too many heavenly treasures. These things didn't catch his eye at all.
"Everyone, let's part ways here! I hope we meet again in the future!"
Qi Chunyu clasped her hands and turned to leave.
Zhang Jian frowned, "It seems the Soul Sect has done a lot of research on Man-Eating Island. They're afraid we'll get a share of the pie. Shall we follow them?"
He looked at Chen Xuan and Xu Chun, his gaze inquiring.
Xu Chun shook his head, "We still have important matters to attend to."
"That's true," Zhang Jian shrugged and had no choice but to give up.
Chen Xuan looked at Xu Chun and asked, "Xu Chun, did you know me long ago?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Chun and Zhang Jian exchanged glances.
Zhang Jian laughed heartily, "You finally asked. I thought you'd never ask in your life."
Xu Chun spread his hands.
"What do you mean?"
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow.
"I forgot to tell you, besides helping the Gu family find the Primordial Five-Colored Stone, we are also here to rescue Su Qian of the Imperial Observatory!"
"Rescue my father-in-law? You know my father-in-law?"
Chen Xuan was surprised.
Xu Chun explained, "Su Qian has a close relationship with our sect. The Imperial Observatory approached us for help, so our sect sent us to rescue Su Qian. Coincidentally, we met you, so we planned to join forces with you."
"So that's how it is."
Chen Xuan didn't expect there to be such a connection.
"Do you know where my father-in-law is?" Chen Xuan asked urgently.
He believed they definitely had more information than him.
"It's said that the Imperial Observatory went to the Demon Cave to search for a strange rune and disappeared in the Demon Cave. We should go to the Demon Cave to search."
Rune?
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Could it be that the Demon Cave contained a rune that could break the curse?
Zhang Jian added, "That Primordial Five-Colored Stone is also in the Demon Cave. We can go look for it along the way."
"Then, let's not delay any longer. We should hurry to the Demon Cave," Chen Xuan said.
Xu Chun said, "The Demon Cave is in the center of Man-Eating Island. Along the way, we can also search for heavenly treasures. However, there's one thing we need to be clear about: any heavenly treasures found will be divided equally among the three of us. If anyone wants it, they have to pay the other two."
This rule was mainly for Chen Xuan, as Zhang Jian already knew the rule.
"I agree."
Chen Xuan nodded.
Thus, the group began to head towards the Demon Cave.
Along the way, they encountered many strange monsters, but they were all defeated by them.
"Where is the Demon Cave?"
Chen Xuan looked around, only seeing vast forests. The forests were extremely dense, with towering trees, the shortest being dozens of meters tall, and the tallest reaching over a hundred meters.
In the sky, eagles dozens of meters long soared, their gazes like knives scanning them.
The spiritual energy around was extremely dense and vibrant. It was likely only in such an environment that trees and eagles could grow to such sizes.
But where was the Demon Cave?
He couldn't help but look at Xu Chun and Zhang Jian, only to see them also looking confused and frowning, "You don't know where the Demon Cave is?"
"According to our sect's map, the Demon Cave should be here, but we haven't found it either."
Xu Chun shook his head.
Zhang Jian said, "Could it be that the geographical location of Man-Eating Island has changed?"
"It's hard to say," Xu Chun didn't know what to do either.
"Alright, I'll use my divine sense to scout."
Chen Xuan immediately extended his divine sense, and the surrounding scenery was rapidly absorbed into his mind.
Zhang Jian looked on with envy. He wasn't a cultivator, but a martial artist, and was extremely envious of cultivators.
Xu Chun was also a cultivator. He quickly used his divine sense to scout the surrounding environment.
His divine sense could only probe a few hundred meters, and he soon returned without success.
"How is it?" Zhang Jian asked urgently.
"No findings."
Xu Chun shook his head.
"Then let's explore the surroundings, perhaps we'll find something," Zhang Jian said resignedly.
