"The master has ascended to heaven!"
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone was shocked by Ji Qiu's firm tone.
Ji Qiu analyzed calmly:
"First of all, we can be sure that the master disappeared suddenly."
"If it was caused by a traitor."
"Who in this mountain protection formation can do this?"
Everyone shook their heads.
They have also lived in Qingquan Mountain for a while.
They knew how terrifying the mountain protection formation was.
Any strong person below the immortal level who attacks is simply asking for trouble.
And coupled with the sect master’s own strength.
No one can capture the sect leader from the mountain protection formation!
"So, the Lord Sect Master must have left on his own initiative."
Ji Qiu then said:
"But with the sense of responsibility of the Lord Sect Master, how could he just leave without saying goodbye?"
"I was also confused at first and analyzed several possibilities."
“But in the end, I sensed a special aura on these stone steps!”
Ji Qiu pointed to the place where Roger disappeared.
There.
Those with sharp eyes can even see faint footprints.
"It's not Qi, it's not magic, it's not divine power..."
"It's more like a power of prayer!"
"According to my experience, there are only two possibilities for this kind of power. The first is that someone used the immortal-level or higher "prayer technique" to get the master to leave..."
“The possibility is very low!”
"What idiot would waste this level of prayer on someone else?"
Ji Qiu’s analysis is very convincing.
The others couldn't help but nod along.
Ji Qiu became more and more excited as he spoke, spitting all over the place:
"So only the second option remains!"
"The master has ascended to heaven!"
"I guess his power has reached the limit of what the main material world can hold, and he was forced to go to the legendary martial artist's holy land, the "Heavenly World"!"
Everyone was fascinated by what they heard.
However, a young man with a crew cut couldn't help but ask:
"Does the 'Heavenly Realm' really exist? It seems to be a myth from the Talen era, right?"
Ji Qiu snorted coldly:
"What do you think?"
Martial artists with buzz cuts are not shy about this:
"Another possibility is that the master's strength is not as strong as we thought."
"Although the mountain protection formation is powerful, it is not infallible after all..."
His words were interrupted by a strange laugh.
The guy with a crew cut was stunned for a moment and looked at Ji Qiu.
I found that guy was laughing wildly!
"Are you questioning the strength of the Lord Sect Master?"
Ji Qiu laughed so hard that tears almost came out.
"You guys follow me!"
Now.
A group of martial artists followed him up the stairs and soon came to the fork in the paths on the mountainside.
Follow one of the paths.
They arrived in the deep valley.
In the valley.
The colorful lights are flashing continuously.
But there I saw a giant sword standing there, reaching as high as the sky.
"I saw this sword a few days ago. What's wrong..."
The crew-haired martial artist was a little confused.
Ji Qiu said disdainfully:
"Open your dog eyes and take a good look!"
Next second.
The colorful light suddenly disappeared.
Griffith revealed the ancient blade of his sword.
at the same time.
An extremely terrifying oppressive force came from the holy sword.
The martial artist with a crew cut staggered.
I almost couldn't stand still.
You know.
He is a strong man like Ji Qiu, who is close to being promoted!
He is like this.
The rest are even worse off.
Some people were so shocked by the pressure of the holy sword that they fell to the ground, unable to move.
"this……"
"It's the master's sword!"
Ji Qiu grinned and said:
"Does anyone still have doubts about the strength of the master?"
Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't say a word.
After a while.
Griffith slowly withdrew the Ashes of Annihilation.
The martial artists then got up from the ground.
"This is an immortal-level sword."
"It seems so."
"The Lord Sect Master is indeed above immortality!"
The crew-haired martial artist was convinced.
"We are all disciples of the Qingquan Sect. We should promote martial arts under the leadership of the Sect Master."
"But the master of the sect has to go first."
"The only thing we can do is to work hard and become stronger!"
Now.
Ji Qiu said passionately:
"Everyone."
"The Lord Sect Master might be watching us from the sky right now!"
“I think that his greatest wish is to revive Qingquan and revive martial arts.”
"Otherwise he wouldn't have set such complicated and detailed rules before he left."
“Such a great vision and ambition.”
“We must not let you down.”
"From now on, I, Ji Qiu, will do my best for this!"
"I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Next second.
The martial artists from all over Mistral were filled with passion and shouted in unison:
"Revitalize Qingquan and revive martial arts!"
"I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
For a while.
In the valley.
The cheers were deafening.
…
"Hint: Your reputation (Qingquan Sect) +400"
…
"The legend of your ascension has spread widely within the Qingquan Sect and its influence. Your milestone, Rural Legend, has set a new record."
…
"Your Qingquan Sect reputation has exceeded 1,000 points, and your 'Countryside Legend' has been upgraded to 'Heroic Legend'."
…
「Heroic Legend (Mystra):
Following the feat of single-handedly defeating thousands of enemies.
The news of Qingquan Sect's leader's "ascension" spread like wildfire.
There are also rumors claiming that the sect master is just practicing in seclusion.
one way or another.
Any news about you affects the nerves of tens of thousands of people.
And inspired by your example.
The people of Qingquan Sect worked together as one and gradually got on the fast track to revival.
All this is thanks to you.”
…
“Ah, this…”
See the record flash on the data bar.
Roger was confused.
The person is in Kuinan and has just been unearthed.
How did he suddenly ascend to heaven?
But it's okay this way.
He felt relieved that Qingquan Sect could stabilize it.
at the moment.
He is with Quentin, a teenager he just met.
Prepare to make a bamboo raft and go out to sea.
Considering that you have just arrived, it is not advisable to be too high-profile.
Roger gave up the combo of using "Rocket Boots" to fly into the sky and then "Ride the Wind".
He planned to row to "Nan Sao Island" first.
Then consider the next step.
…
early morning.
Take advantage of high tide.
Roger and Quentin pushed a raft made of irregular logs out to sea.
There were a dozen coconuts tied next to the raft.
This provides it with more buoyancy.
Two people sat on it.
Occasionally stroke with your hands.
But more often it follows the ocean currents.
The ocean currents in the Interoceanic Sea are very special.
Attracted by the "Deep Sea Python".
These currents form an elliptical closed loop centered on the Interstellar Islands.
So in theory.
Just don't encounter any accidents during the voyage.
No matter which ocean current you follow.
Everyone has the opportunity to reach the Middle Sea Islands or the coastlines of the eastern and western continents.
The two of them were lucky.
I just spent most of the day drifting on the sea.
Then we met a fishing boat returning from fishing in the south of the Sea.
The captain has a good heart.
Took them to the vicinity of Nansao for free.
One day later.
Roger successfully landed on the dock of Nansao Island.
He and Quentin broke up here.
The boy is about to head north to find his vampire father.
Roger blessed him.
Then he walked into this famous legendary island alone.
…
Summer on Nansao Island.
The sun is scorching.
On the dock.
A number of majestic "armed merchant ships" were quietly anchored.
In the waters near the big ship.
Countless sampans came in and out.
Even at noon.
Some people are still unloading.
Boxes of corn, heads of pigs and sheep, or cages of slaves...
The stench of various feces mixed with the salty sea breeze.
The sailors swore one after another.
Shady spot on the beach.
Numb faces were examining the man walking towards them from the west side of the dock area.
He was a middle-aged man with a plain appearance.
His upper body was bare, revealing his beautifully shaped muscles.
The man had nothing else on his waist.
There was only an inconspicuous red bag.
Those people looked at each other.
One of them spat out the betel nut in his mouth:
"Like a tough guy, follow first, don't act rashly."
After saying that.
They stood up lazily.
Wait until the middle-aged man walks by leisurely.
Then he followed quietly.
…
"Insight: You have detected 4 pickpockets stalking you."
…
"Reminder: Your specialty, Mr. Bodybuilder, is in effect..."
…
"Hint: Deterrence failed. Your muscles did not stop the pickpockets from taking action."
…
"It's really a useless specialty."
"It can't even stop a few pickpockets."
Walking on the road leading to "Nanshao Town".
Roger touched his abdominal muscles twice and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
This journey.
The scenery he saw was full of the charm of tropical islands.
The road is lined with coconut trees, banana trees, and rubber plantations.
Occasionally, people would sit under the trees to enjoy the cool air or play cards.
But from the weapons they carry and the look in their eyes, it can be seen that these people are definitely not good people.
As a colony of the "Southern Cross Alliance" in the sea.
The permanent population on "Nan Sao" is mostly merchants, sailors, pirates, mercenaries and believers of the gods of the sea.
certainly.
These identities can be transformed at any time.
Hence the mixed crowd here.
I'm afraid even the "Ten Sons of Nan Sao" officially supported by the Holy Alliance may not be able to explain it clearly.
Roger had just walked a few kilometers on the road.
The followers behind him became 5 groups, totaling 17 people.
Seeing this.
He simply went into the small woods nearby.
Since the people of Nansao are so enthusiastic.
Then it would be disrespectful for him to refuse.
But the next second.
on the data bar.
…
"Extraordinary Perception: 9 stalkers have given up tracking"
…
"Insight: You realize that there are only two groups of people who still have ill intentions towards you."
…
"Good fellow."
Roger realized that his actions were too obvious.
Among these stalkers, there must be some ruthless characters who have been in the underworld for many years.
If a person is alone and is being targeted by a large army and instead of going to the town, he hides in the woods, he must have some tricks up his sleeve.
So they gave up.
The remaining two groups of people are either young and inexperienced or confident that they are strong enough.
No matter which one.
There is only one ending for them——
In the woods.
The two groups of people followed in, but found that the middle-aged man was nowhere to be seen.
Next second.
A ruthless hand stretched out from under the sand!
Very quickly.
A shrill scream was heard in the woods.
A strong smell of blood spread.
A long time passed.
Only then did some people have the courage to walk in.
But they found nothing except a few ashes mixed in the sand.
That evening.
The news that "a tough guy with eight-pack abs has arrived on the island" quickly spread throughout Nan Sao's circle of pickpockets.
certainly.
For the real big shots.
This is just a small piece of insignificant news.
Instead of focusing on the middle-aged muscular man who punches the pickpockets hard.
It would be better to spend more time looking for the alien visitor!
that's all.
Roger successfully infiltrated Nansao Island.
And began to secretly collect the information he wanted.
…
Three days later in the evening.
On a small island 20 kilometers east of Nansao.
The reef belt in the north.
Roger stood on the stone and looked around.
Under the effect of real vision.
The scenery within a few miles is in full view.
After a while.
He jumped down, and after a few ups and downs he arrived at another reef.
Below this reef.
There is an extremely hidden monster hiding!
Roger tiptoed over.
Next second.
He suddenly jumped up and slapped the monster on the body!
"Martial Arts: Crushing Palm"!
A strong breath poured in.
The monster opened its shell slightly.
It suddenly clamped Roger's lower body!
Roger is quick-witted.
He dodged the monster's counterattack by leaning sideways and slapped it again with his backhand!
This time.
He increased the amount of air injected!
With a puff sound.
Salty, milky white juice splashed out of the clam shell.
Immediately following.
The two halves of the clam shell separated involuntarily.
Revealing the tender clam meat inside.
There are also some miscellaneous things.
…
"You killed a man-eating clam."
…
"You gained 36 XP"
…
"Your genetic material activity has been slightly enhanced"
…
"Um?"
Roger frowned:
"This attribute is suitable for Quinan."
He thought about it.
I think it's a useless attribute.
He immediately cut open the clam meat, then sorted out the contents and put them into the tinder bag one by one.
This "man-eating clam" usually lives on the seabed and feeds on passing fish-men and other sea creatures.
Only when the tide is high will it be washed onto the coast of nearby islands.
When the tide recedes.
They may choose to stay.
Those who come to the beach to pick up shells are likely to fall into their clutches.
And according to the information collected by Roger.
Except for the "man-eating clams".
There are also monsters such as "Spiky Fish Monster", "Lantern Shell", "Sand Burning Sea Worm" and so on.
The levels of these monsters are around level 50.
There are occasional extraordinary moments, but not too many.
Therefore, Roger set this place as the first stop in his search.
After all, there are so many types of monsters in the sea.
Which one is the destined one for him?
You have to try them one by one to find out.
…
After killing the man-eating clam.
Roger jumped towards the other monsters without stopping.
Under the influence of extraordinary perception.
None of these brother candidates from the sea escaped!
…
"You killed a Spiny Fish Monster"
…
"Your resistance to trypophobia has been slightly improved."
…
"You killed 1 lantern shell."
…
"The viscosity of your bodily fluids has increased slightly."
…
"You killed 1 Scorching Sand Seaworm"
…
"Your flexibility has been slightly improved."
…
“This is OK.”
On the reef.
Roger's bouncing figure paused briefly.
He took out the Monster Manual.
I recorded all the information about the "Sand Burning Sea Worm" and put a check mark next to it.
It means "worth a try".
Do all this.
Roger kept going.
Looking for monsters that have not yet been named in the monster manual.
Before you know it.
He had left the reef area and gone deep into the coral zone.
There are a lot of marine life living here.
Many of them are monsters.
But most of the monsters are very cunning and hide at the bottom of the coral belt.
It was inconvenient for Roger to take action since he was standing on the reef.
Just as he was patiently observing the situation at the bottom of the coral belt.
There was a sudden movement on the sea in the distance.
Roger looked up alertly -
But several sampans were suddenly overturned on the spot.
Immediately following.
On the horizon.
Milky white waves came like a rising tide.
Above the waves.
They are all big and strong guys!
"It's not high tide now..."
Roger took a closer look.
Standing on the waves were sea wolf warriors with pointed heads and fish mouths.
Under their crotches are marine creatures with blue-gray fur and snail-like tentacles!
Kind of like an oversized slug.
In a moment
The waves swept over the sampan.
It actually rushed towards the shore on Roger's side!
…
"Hint: You encountered Sea Wolf Knight*80"
…
On the coastline.
A woman who had been collecting shells shouted:
"They are the Sea Wolf Knights who are here to collect the manhood tax. Run!"
"Run to the island!"
On the reef belt.
The adventurers who came with Roger to deal with the monsters washed ashore ran away without looking back.
As for Roger.
He runs faster!
The Tiyunzong was launched with full force.
In the blink of an eye.
He rushed from the coral area to the reef area in one breath.
And successfully surpassed those adventurers!
Those adventurers were dumbfounded!
Roger rushed to the shore in a hurry.
The woman who was picking up shells had already run away.
Now.
He also fled to the shore.
Roger was not afraid of these Sea Wolf Knights.
It's just that he's new here.
If you can be tolerant, be more tolerant.
certainly.
The most important reason is.
These Sea Wolf Knights do not give attributes.
Roger was too lazy to use the knife.
…
After a while.
He successfully escaped to the heart of the island.
Here.
There was a fishermen's village.
Under a banana tree outside the village.
The woman picking up shells was looking at him breathlessly.
"don’t worry."
She gasped and soothed him:
"The monsters from the Sea Wolf Temple will not come ashore."
"They only catch people on the edge of the shoreline."
"But they've been coming here too often recently..."
at first.
Roger's expression was relatively relaxed.
But not for long.
His face turned serious and he said:
“Go!”
In the surprised eyes of the middle-aged woman.
Roger's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
…
Half a minute later.
Green shadows emerged from the woods.
That is a Sea Wolf Knight!
They came towards us aggressively.
The middle-aged woman was so scared that she dropped the shell in her hand.
He fled to the village without looking back.
But this obviously doesn't help.
Not long after.
The whole village was surrounded by that group of Sea Wolf Knights!
All the young men in the village are out fishing.
Only the elderly, the weak, women and children were left.
In front of the tall Sea Wolf Knight.
They didn't even have the ability to resist before they were tied up with ropes made of seaweed!
…
"What are you doing?"
"Isn't the Sea Wolf God a good god?"
The middle-aged woman was also tied up with ropes.
She questioned excitedly.
Bang!
The Sea Wolf Knight next to her lashed her on the shoulder with a whip.
The latter stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Even good gods get angry sometimes."
"The reason why the God was plotted against by that sea snake was all because of you fence-sitters."
"Now, it's time to make your so-called neutrals pay the price."
The Sea Wolf Knight's tone was very cold:
"Search more thoroughly."
"Everyone on this island must be taken away!"
The slug-like marine creatures began to wriggle rapidly.
The figures of the Sea Wolf Knights disappeared one after another in the jungle outside the village.
…
In the shadow of the banana tree.
Roger shook his head silently.
The Sea Wolf God has indeed gone mad.
The former good god.
After being resurrected by the deep-sea python, he has become unscrupulous.
He blamed the neutrals on the Jianhai Islands for his loss to the Sea Serpent Queen.
Then I believe that he will soon launch an all-round pressure on Nan Sao and other forces.
Roger had no room to hide.
Not far away.
A Sea Wolf Knight walked over.
Roger waited calmly for him to pass.
Next second.
His body suddenly jumped up, and the phantom axe slashed down!
With a puff sound.
The Sea Wolf Knight was directly split into two by him!
The Phantom Axe brutally tore his body apart, and in the process also killed the mount under his crotch!
Next second.
The large, slug-like marine creature whimpered.
It turned into a pool of sticky liquid.
on the data bar.
…
"You killed a sea slug."
…
"Your amount of 'Chi' has been slightly increased."
…
“Fuck!”
Roger's heart was pounding, and he felt a sense of fear.
To be honest.
Just now he had the idea of ​​sneaking away.
Fortunately, Xia Yin's compassion stopped him.
Otherwise it would be a serious crime!
"Is this what it means to search for something in vain, yet my brother is by my side?"
Next second.
Roger's eyes suddenly became much gentler as he looked at the backs of the Sea Wolf Knights in the jungle.
…
