Yuan Zhao turned over and returned to the deck, looking towards Penglai Island not far away with Cao Wei and Nangong Hui.

A light mist lingers on the island, and the air here is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

"It is said that Penglai Island was originally a place where immortals lived. Now no one lives on Penglai Island. However, there are several Taoist temples here. You can also visit and see if there is any chance for you."

The captain handed a map to Cao Wei and then said, "Do you still need food or other supplies?"

"No need, we have enough."

After Cao Wei finished speaking, he also expressed his gratitude to the captain.

"I know your purpose of coming. Although Tongyuan Palace is slightly less difficult than the other palaces, it is underwater and everything is changing rapidly. Even I, an old captain, can't figure it out."

The captain warned, "So, once you find that you are unable to defeat us, don't attack us forcefully. As long as you reach Penglai Island, the pursuit of the sea monsters will stop."

"knew."

Cao Wei nodded.

"There is a teleportation point on Penglai Island. You can leave directly from here, or wait for me to pick you up."

After the captain finished speaking, he turned around and was about to return to the ship. At this time, Cao Wei stopped him.

"Captain, actually I have always had a doubt."

Cao Wei said, "Why do you sail here? This place only opens once every few years, so aren't you very lonely?"

This is a question that has been lingering in Cao Wei's mind.

"Speaking of it, I almost forgot..."

The captain fell into memories, "Why should I do this hard work...because I am a sinner."

"I came here just to atone for my sins. I said it was atonement, but in fact I was exiled here."

The captain continued, "When you go out and return to Blue Star, you may also see things about me. After you read it, you may not be able to help but scold me."

Cao Wei heard regret and loneliness in his tone. If Cao Wei's guess was correct, Sun Jian would spend the rest of his life on this ship providing convenience to the brave men.

"Stop talking, it's time for us to set off. It's the peak passenger traffic period recently, so I must return as soon as possible to avoid delaying others."

Sun Jian waved his hand to Cao Wei and others, "You are very strong, don't let me down."

After saying that, he and the sailors returned to the ship. The anchor slowly rose, and the ship slowly turned its direction. Under the gaze of Cao Wei and others, it gradually disappeared on the sea.

"What do we do next?"

Nangong Hui asked.

"Go directly to the sea?"

Yuan Zhao asked excitedly.

"...Just wait a little longer."

Cao Wei sighed, "I haven't fully recovered my strength yet, at least I have to wait until I fully recover."

"Yes." Yuan Zhao nodded, he felt that what Cao Wei said made sense.

There is no doubt about his fighting ability, and he is also the only priest in the team, so before the war begins, he must be in peak condition.

"I heard from Captain Sun that there are several Taoist temples, why don't we go and have a look."

Cao Wei suggested, "And you can rest there at night."

The other two people thought it made sense, so the three of them followed the map and came to several dilapidated palaces.

"Damn, this place is really nice."

Yuan Zhao said in surprise, because the palace is located on the mountainside, and looking down from here, the beautiful scenery is unobstructed.

"I also seem to be living the life that the immortals live."

Yuan Zhao continued.

"You'll be bored if you stay here for three days."

Cao Wei complained.

Then, the three of them curiously pushed open the door of the Taoist temple's main hall, and the smell of rotting wood suddenly wafted inside.

It looks like no one has been here for a long time.

Several futons inside were relatively well preserved, but a layer of moss had grown on the stone statues and pillars, making Cao Wei wonder who they were dedicated to.

Cao Wei took out some food and fruit and placed them under the stone statue, and bowed to it.

Nangong Hui and the others also followed Cao Wei's example and bowed to the stone statue. Then the three of them turned around again to observe the two side halls.

As soon as Cao Wei and Nangong Hui entered the side hall, they felt a burst of murderous aura.

Cao Wei was okay, Nangong Hui took a few steps back with a pale face and walked out of the side hall.

"What is that?"

Nangong Hui said with lingering fear.

At that moment, he felt as if someone had put a sharp sword to his neck.

The real feeling of suffocation made him extremely uncomfortable.

Cao Wei had the same feeling just now, but he still withstood the pressure.

There was nothing in the side hall. As far as Cao Wei could see, there was only an irregularly shaped boulder.

The closer Cao Wei got to the boulder, the more obvious the killing intent became.

He soon discovered that there was a notch on the boulder, which was three-thirds of the way into the stone, and the murderous intention was revealed from it.

"Is this the trace left by the previous immortals?"

Cao Wei speculated.

His analysis is not unreasonable, because apart from this possibility, other possibilities are slim.

Cao Wei continued to patrol the room and found a badly damaged stone tablet on the table. Cao Wei could barely read a few words on it:

"Destined to...understand the sword mark...inheritance..."

"That is to say, those who are destined to understand this sword mark can get an opportunity, maybe it is some kind of inheritance."

Cao Wei understood immediately.

"Do you think...you can comprehend it?"

Nangong Hui asked at the door.

Why did Nangong Hui dare not step into the room under such strong murderous aura?

Yuan Zhao didn't find anything in another side hall, but he heard Nangong Hui's shout, and he hurriedly ran to the side hall where Cao Wei was in excitement.

"Don't!"

Nangong Hui just wanted to dissuade him, but it was too late.

Several sharp sword energies loomed in the air, leaving scars directly on Yuan Zhao's body. Yuan Zhao felt as if his body was shrouded in ice.

He quickly retreated, staggered out of the side hall, and then fell to the ground.

"It's too scary, it's too scary..."

Yuan Zhao kept repeating this sentence.

"Cao Wei, are you okay?"

Nangong Hui asked.

"It's okay."

Cao Wei also noticed what happened just now, and an idea gradually came to his mind.

"Maybe, this is my chance."

Cao Wei said calmly, "Since this sword energy did not hurt me, it means that it may accept me!"

As Cao Wei spoke, he kneeled down on the opposite side of the boulder in a dignified manner, and he also unsheathed the Feixian.

Feixian trembled in the air, which strengthened Cao Wei's idea.

He closed his eyes and could feel that his soul had some strange resonance with the sword marks on the boulder!

Chapter 228: Entering the sea

Cao Wei sat quietly next to the boulder, while Nangong Hui and Yuan Zhao were walking around outside in boredom.

Two more days passed before Cao Wei finally opened his eyes.

He has been trying to understand this sword mark for the past two days, and now he finally feels that he has understood this mark!

"Ding, you have comprehended the Stigma Stone and received the following rewards: Congratulations on obtaining the skill: Soul-Living Slash (A):

Swing an arc-shaped sword energy forward, attacking and damaging several enemy units. The smaller the HP of the enemy unit, the higher the damage it will suffer, with the maximum damage reaching 180%.

Under this attack, you have a 3% chance of instantly killing the enemy, but if the enemy's level is more than 20 levels higher than the user, this effect will be invalid."

"What a magical skill!" Cao Wei exclaimed.

His debuff state also disappeared at this time. Cao Wei stood up, raised Feixian and lightly swung a sword energy.

A scratch suddenly appeared on the boulder, but it only existed for a moment before completely dissipating.

"As expected, ordinary attacks cannot leave traces on it."

A smile appeared on Cao Wei's lips, "Just in time to try my new move!"

After saying that, he half-crouched down, and a white arc of light condensed on the flying immortal.

"Li Po Slash!"

Cao Wei swung his sword forward again, and the white arc of light instantly separated from Feixian, and he fought forward with surging murderous intent.

In just a short moment, Li Po Zhan hit the boulder.

Carvings appeared again on the boulder, but this carving did not disappear, but instead revealed a golden light.

"It's done!"

Cao Wei was very excited.

Nangong Hui and Yuan Zhao also noticed the presence of murderous intent again.

"It seems like this opportunity is really yours."

Yuan Zhao said sourly, "I can only say that you are very lucky."

"You didn't know him before, so you might not know." Nangong Hui said, "Cao Wei's luck is much better than you think. Sometimes, I will be jealous."

After Cao Wei left his mark, the golden light on the stone flowed out, and a golden trace was also imprinted on Feixian.

Cao Wei wanted to spy on what this trace was, but obviously he failed, and this trace did not bring any benefit to Feixian.

Cao Wei turned around and said to the two of them, "My condition has fully recovered and we can set off."

"Okay, this is the time I've been waiting for!"

Yuan Zhao's face showed excitement.

Nangong Hui couldn't wait to take out the map. The days on Penglai Island were really boring. The island was not small, but there was no powerful monster.

The three of them left the Taoist temple and headed towards the estuary. At dusk, the three of them arrived at the estuary.

The entrance to the sea is actually a concave bay, but the huge rocks here are paved with a descending staircase. After being baptized by the waves, these huge rocks have been eroded without any edges.

"Let's take a day off."

Nangong Hui looked at the sun that was about to fall below the sea level and said helplessly.

There are few light sources in the deep sea area, and night is also the time for many ferocious sea animals to hunt.

"Then take this time to get familiar with the sea water."

Cao Wei said to the two of them, "I also discovered when I was studying before that being able to walk under the sea is actually two different things from attacking and avoiding under the sea. We must not take it lightly."

After saying that, Cao Wei turned around and stepped into the ocean step by step. He transformed into a snake form and started breathing underwater at the same time.

This is his normal state after entering the sea. These two skills allow him to move freely on the seabed and give him alertness far beyond ordinary people.

He started crisis detection again. In this state, it seemed that the movements of all living creatures around him were controlled by him.

Nangong Hui also entered the water. Before entering the water, he directly opened the field.

"The realm unfolds: the dustless land!"

As Nangong Hui finished speaking, a huge transparent bubble-like barrier surrounded him. He slowly entered the water, and the seawater and the creatures in the water were isolated from the bubble.

"Damn, so strong?"

This was the first time Yuan Zhao saw Nangong Hui unleashing his skills, so he was naturally very surprised.

Then, he took a deep breath, the swirling runes above his head appeared again, and the shadow of a huge manatee appeared behind him, and then he entered the ocean with a relaxed expression on his face.

The three of them sank slowly, and they didn't know how long they sank before they finally touched the surface of the sea.

At this time, the three of them discovered a serious problem!

They can't communicate!

Cao Wei opened his mouth to say something, but his voice turned into bubbles floating up, obviously unable to reach the ears of Nangong Hui and Yuan Zhao smoothly.

In desperation, he could only move in the direction of the two of them. The first person he met was Yuan Zhao. Cao Wei gestured to Yuan Zhao. In the dim environment, Yuan Zhao also understood the meaning of the gesture. He quickly

It surfaced and soon returned to the sea.

Later, Cao Wei also swam to Nangong Hui's side, but was directly swallowed by Nangong Hui's bubbles.

Only then did Cao Wei think that Nangong Hui had given him a ring before, and this might be the effect of the ring.

"What's wrong?"

Nangong Hui asked.

"Have you noticed that there is no way for us to communicate?"

Cao Wei sighed, "But it seems there is no problem communicating with you."

"If we can't communicate... then we may need to be more prepared."

Nangong Hui muttered, "We have to think of a way to light up the sea near here."

"We'll talk about it when we get up."

Cao Wei pointed above the two of them, and Nangong Hui nodded, preparing to float up.

But before surfacing, Nangong Hui whispered, "Cao Wei, there is something I don't know whether I should say."

Nangong Hui lowered his voice, "Although Yuan Zhao saved your life, I always feel that there is something weird about him. We still have to be more careful."

He originally thought that Cao Wei would refute him, but Cao Wei just nodded lightly.

"I know this. There are some doubts about him, so I always keep an eye out."

Cao Wei said, "If he has any other ideas, I will kill him without hesitation."

"There's no need to kill him."

Nangong Hui said, "Just teach him a lesson."

"Well, I know."

After Cao Wei finished speaking, he suddenly smiled knowingly,

"It seems that you have grown up and know how to be wary of others."

"Actually, the person I was wary of at first was you."

Nangong Hui said helplessly, "But after thinking about it, it's useless even if I stay vigilant against you. If you wanted to kill me, you would have killed me long ago."

"Holy shit, how could you miss me so much?"

Cao Wei said sadly, "If nothing else, if I kill you, Lord Guo can't just cut me into pieces?"

"...Okay, okay, hurry up, otherwise he will become suspicious."

After Nangong Hui finished speaking, he began to float up, and Cao Wei also withdrew from his space.

Yuan Zhao waited for a long time and finally saw the two of them. He said helplessly,

"You two are too slow!"
