Chapter 242 Entering Thunder Island
After who knows how much time had passed, Old Mo finally arrived.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, it's quite early! Let's set off!"
"Then let's go!"
Afterwards, Ye Xiaobai boarded Lao Mo's flying boat and headed to Thunder Island.
Three hours later, an island covered in thunderclouds appeared ahead, with thunder rumbling from time to time.
"Rumble..."
With rain and thunder, Ye Xiaobai really didn't like this kind of place.
If it weren't for Zishan's breakthrough, I would never have come here even if you killed me.
"Is that Thunder Island just ahead?"
"That's right, Fellow Daoist Ye, please don't wander off. It would be troublesome if the demon race found out!"
"I understand!"
Soon, the two arrived near Thunder Island and, as expected, discovered demon cultivators patrolling one of the island's entrances.
Old Mo skillfully bypassed the patrol team and arrived in a secluded direction.
"Come on, stay close to me!" Old Mo said softly.
The two quickly and successfully infiltrated Thunder Island.
Upon entering Thunder Island, the two immediately released a spiritual energy shield to protect themselves from rain and lightning.
After all, it rains constantly here, and thunder appears from time to time.
However, Ye Xiaobai still felt that he was lucky to have met Lao Mo, who successfully brought him into Thunder Island. Otherwise, it would have been very troublesome if he had been alone.
It is located on the outskirts of Thunder Island.
Old Mo stopped and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Ye, I consider the task of bringing you in complete."
"It's all thanks to Fellow Daoist Mo!"
Just then, a group of shrimp demons suddenly appeared and surrounded the two of them. The leader was a late-stage seventh-rank crab demon, which was equivalent to the late-stage Core Formation stage.
The shrimp demon was only at the sixth rank, which Ye Xiaobai could easily handle. The real challenge was the crab demon, which was at the late seventh rank.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaobai immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Old Mo, you did a great job this time! You actually brought a Core Formation stage miner! The previous Foundation Establishment stage miners died after only a few months on Thunder Island!" The leading crab demon said happily.
As expected, this old Mo was in cahoots with the monsters of Thunder Island.
Ye Xiaobai could only curse Old Mo in his heart for being a scoundrel who colluded with the demon race to persecute human cultivators.
"This is your reward!" The crab demon tossed Old Mo a storage bag.
Old Mo took the storage bag, scanned it with his divine sense, and found another pile of thunder crystals, worth tens of thousands of spirit stones! After putting them away, he hurriedly said respectfully, "Fellow Daoist Crab, you're too kind. It's all what I should do!"
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed happily, except for Ye Xiaobai, who frowned, hesitating whether to release Zishan and take action directly.
If we act now, we can quickly eliminate these few people without attracting the attention of other demon cultivators.
He feared that if this went on for too long, it would attract a large number of demons, and he would definitely not be able to escape.
"Zishan, get ready to make your move!" Ye Xiaobai used his divine sense to notify Zishan to prepare to take action.
Just then, a group of demon cultivators passed by and noticed someone laughing loudly. They quickly came over to investigate.
Seeing that the situation had changed, Ye Xiaobai decided to hold back for the time being.
The leader, a white-tailed shark with a shark's head, had already reached the late-stage peak of the seventh rank, just one step away from the eighth rank.
The rest were some fifth or sixth-tier shrimp demons.
Faced with so many demon cultivators, Ye Xiaobai could only curse Old Mo in his heart once again.
That old man is really wicked; he bullies outsiders like Ye Xiaobai like this.
After the shark demon leader walked up to Ye Xiaobai, he asked, "Crab Third Brother, what's going on here?"
Seeing the great shark demon approach, Crab Third Brother proudly said, "Second Brother Shark, we've captured another human cultivator, which means we can mine a lot more thunder crystals!"
"Well done!"
"That's right!" Upon hearing the praise, Crab Third Brother was immediately excited, and he couldn't help but twirl the spear in his hand.
"Let's go, take this guy to the Thunder Crystal Mine in the west, and let him mine for us!" Crab Old Three said happily.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaobai immediately became nervous and didn't know what to do.
The shrimp demons under Crab Lao San's command also immediately became excited and prepared to subdue Ye Xiaobai.
"Wait a minute!"
Upon hearing what Shark Second Brother said, the demons were immediately at a loss.
Ye Xiaobai was also curious about what this great shark demon was up to.
Crab Third Brother figured it out quickly.
"Second Brother Shark, it's not easy for me to find a miner at the Core Formation stage, so don't try to steal him away!" Third Brother Crab said.
"Something's not right with this guy!" said Shark Second.
The demons immediately tensed up, gripping their weapons tightly, ready to deal with any unexpected events.
Ye Xiaobai became even more curious. What had this shark-headed creature discovered?
“This person still carries the scent of many spiritual herbs and pills, so he might be an alchemist! Master Yan is currently short of alchemists to assist him in his alchemy, so I want this person!” Shark Third explained.
Upon hearing the name Master Yan, the demons immediately became serious. Master Yan was a rare alchemy master on Thunder Island, and almost everyone had consumed pills he had concocted. Ye Xiaobai, on the other hand, was astonished by the second shark's incredibly keen sense of smell.
He actually recognized one of his alchemists by smell, and his sense of smell was almost as good as his own, who cultivated the "One Breath, One Thousand Miles" technique.
When Crab Third heard that Master Yan wanted the alchemist, he didn't want to offend Master Yan so easily, so he tried to struggle a bit.
"Second Brother Shark, this person might just be someone who's been dealing with pills and herbs a lot lately, and might not actually be an alchemist, right?" Third Brother Crab asked rhetorically.
"Third brother, you don't understand. When ordinary cultivators come into contact with spiritual herbs and alchemists, the residual scent is shallow and thin. But it's different for alchemists; it's deep and rich. This is something I've discussed with Master Yan over a long period of time."
"And it is only through our white-tailed shark clan's exceptional sense of smell that we can detect the difference."
Upon hearing this, Crab Third Brother was indeed a little confused, and turned to look at Ye Xiaobai, asking, "Are you really an alchemist?"
Ye Xiaobai calmly replied, "Yes!" Ye Xiaobai, who cultivated a special technique, could conceal his scent, but since he was with Lao Mo this time, he hadn't thought of concealing his scent.
Upon hearing Ye Xiaobai's affirmative answer, all the demons showed admiration in their eyes.
"My second brother is amazing!" Crab Third Brother couldn't help but praise.
"Alright, I've taken him away. Is that alright?" Shark Second said calmly.
"No problem, no problem! I'll do whatever you say, Second Brother!"
Shark Second walked up to Ye Xiaobai, took out a black pill, and said coldly, "Take this pill, or die immediately!"
When Shark Second took out the pill, Ye Xiaobai immediately smelled that it was a poisonous pill, and that eating it would make one subject to control.
As an alchemist, Ye Xiaobai had some knowledge of poison pills and prepared some top-grade antidotes before going out.
While a complete solution is impossible, suppressing the toxicity is still achievable.
It can only be said that this second shark underestimated Ye Xiaobai's alchemy skills.
Ye Xiaobai reluctantly accepted the pill, his face contorted in pain, but he didn't swallow it.
Seeing Ye Xiaobai's hesitation, Shark Second immediately shouted, "Either take it or die!"
Having put on a convincing act, Ye Xiaobai had no choice but to swallow the poison all at once.
Seeing Ye Xiaobai take the poison, Shark Second nodded in satisfaction and then said, "Come with me!"
The demons surrounding Ye Xiaobai automatically made way for him to leave.
