Start a mysterious island

"I was scared to death. I almost attacked a strong man with third-level cultivation just now." The bald man muttered to himself in a low voice, with endless fear in his voice.

In his opinion, a strong man with the third-level cultivation is a high-ranking and unattainable existence. The other party can crush him into powder with just a flick of his finger, which is easier than crushing an ant to death.

The younger brothers helped the bald man up. Although they had many questions in their minds, they knew that this was not the time to ask.

The bald man was silent for half a minute, came to his senses, and said to his younger brothers.

"Go, find those passers-by we hit just now and give them compensation."

There was a hint of helplessness in his voice, but it was something he had thought about carefully.

When the younger brothers heard this, they were all stunned.

They have done this kind of thing many times in the past, so there is no reason for them to lose money.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, as if they had heard a fairy tale.

Seeing that his younger brothers were standing still, the bald man immediately glared at them and said seriously, "Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

At this moment, his eyes revealed unquestionable majesty.

A braided younger brother lowered his voice and asked cautiously, "Brother, do you really want to do this?"

"Just do it when I tell you to. Don't talk nonsense." The bald man had a firm attitude and a tough tone, as if he was giving a life or death order.

Another little brother with earrings on his face was full of reluctance, and he muttered, "Brother, this is too embarrassing."

The bald man glared at him unhappily and said, "I'm doing this for everyone's good. Stop talking nonsense and go quickly."

There was a hint of anxiety in his voice, as if he was worried about something.

The younger brothers looked at each other in dismay, and in desperation, they took out their wallets and went to pay compensation to the passers-by who were injured by their horses.

The bald man sat on the side of the road, thinking secretly in his heart as he kept recalling the conflict he had just had with Lin Li.

“That man taught us a lesson because he saw us riding horses and hitting passers-by.

Now I let my brothers pay the money, and I hope this matter can be resolved.”

He hoped to quell the possible disaster in this way.

These lawless gang members were used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong. In order to appease Lin Li's anger, the bald man no longer cared about his face. He just hoped to pay the money so that even if Lin Li wanted to settle accounts with them in the future, he would be less harsh.

However, he knew in his heart that with the strength of a third-level strongman, even if he was gentle, these minions might not be able to withstand it.

If it really comes to that, we can only leave it to fate.

Blue Star, Rongcheng.

The time quietly approached noon.

In the sky, the sun shines its rays, bringing a touch of warmth to the earth.

Because it rained last night, the weather is good today, but the temperature is still low.

Even at noon, when the temperature of the earth rose under the sunshine, it was still much colder than before the rain.

On campus, the sound of reading aloud can be heard from classrooms, echoing in the air.

The crisp bell for the end of get out of class suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the classroom.

The teacher at the podium stopped teaching when he heard the bell.

After a while, students quickly poured out of the classroom and walked towards the cafeteria with urgent steps.

After a whole morning of classes, everyone was starving. At this moment, they just wanted to go to the cafeteria to get some food to fill their stomachs and calm their rumbling tummies.

Su Yue came out of the bathroom and saw groups of students walking towards the cafeteria in the distance. After thinking for a while, she felt that it was time to have lunch.

As soon as she arrived at school in the morning, she made an appointment with Wang Jiao to have lunch together at a restaurant outside the school.

After a while, Su Yue returned to the office, but did not see Wang Jiao.

The office was deserted, with only the sound of her footsteps echoing.

So she walked to her workstation, sat down and waited quietly.

Su Yue picked up her phone out of boredom, planning to kill time by watching a few short videos.

As soon as the software was opened, Zheng Qiuyi's caller ID popped up on the screen.

Her eyebrows curved, a faint smile appeared at the corners of her mouth, and her fingertips moved lightly across the call, quickly answering the call.

"Xiaoyue, have you had lunch?" Zheng Qiuyi's concerned voice came from the receiver, instantly dispelling the coldness in the office.

"Not yet." Su Yue responded softly with a smile on her face.

"You've already gotten off work, why haven't you gone to eat yet?" Zheng Qiuyi's tone was filled with confusion.

"I made an appointment with a colleague to have lunch outside the school this morning. She hasn't come back yet, and I'm waiting for her." Su Yue explained patiently, her slender fingers casually wrapped around a strand of hair, playing with it absentmindedly.

"I see." Zheng Qiuyi replied suddenly.

Su Yue tilted her head slightly and asked curiously, "Mom, you called me, is there something wrong?"

Zheng Qiuyi said with a hint of smile in her tone, "Your father and I were shopping just now, and I saw a piece of clothing that was tailor-made for you, so I bought it for you immediately.

I'll send a courier later, and you'll probably receive it in the evening."

Su Yue smiled even more, and gently fiddled with her hair with her left hand, curling the ends of her hair neatly at her fingertips, and said sweetly, "Thank you, Mom."

"I told you not to call me like that, girl, why can't she remember?" Zheng Qiuyi said unhappily when she heard that.

Su Yue stuck out her tongue playfully and quickly changed her words, "I was wrong, I won't call you that in the future...Apart from the clothes, do you have anything else to do?"

“No more.”

The mother and daughter ended the call, and at that moment, brisk footsteps were heard in the corridor outside the office.

Su Yue turned around upon hearing the voice, and immediately saw the chubby, round-faced Wang Jiao humming a cheerful tune, holding a stack of teaching plans, and walking in cheerfully.

"Why are you out of class so late?" Su Yue walked over and asked softly.

Wang Jiao pulled out a chair, gently placed the lesson plan on the table, then sat down and explained helplessly.

"During the class test, a few students performed very poorly, so I kept them and asked about their situation."

Su Yue nodded slightly and asked, "How do you understand it?"

"They said that I watched TV too late last night and was not in the mood for class today, so my test scores were not as good as usual." Wang Jiao sighed, her tone full of worry.

The two chatted about students for a while, then got up and prepared to have lunch.

It was lunch time, and the cafeteria was the busiest place on campus.

Looking towards the cafeteria from afar, you can see a few fat pigeons leisurely strolling nearby, raising their heads from time to time, as if they are looking forward to the cafeteria auntie coming to feed them.

Su Yue and Wang Jiao walked out of the office building side by side and went straight to the school gate.

The sharp-eyed security guard in the security room saw the two of them and hurried out to greet them.

"Teacher Su, Teacher Wang, are we going to have lunch outside the school?"

Su Yue and Wang Jiao smiled and nodded, and after exchanging a few words with the security guard, they walked out of the school gate.

The dining place is quite far from the school. You have to cross several streets and it takes about ten minutes to walk there.

On the way, Wang Jiao asked curiously, "Didn't you say before that you would take your boyfriend to a restaurant in the suburbs for dinner? Have you gone yet?"

Su Yue smiled and shook her head, a trace of helplessness flashed across her face, "He has been very busy recently and has not been able to spare the time. When he is free, we will go."

Wang Jiao frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Although being a beast hunter makes a lot of money, it's a high-risk job. If you marry him in the future, will your parents agree?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Yue was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Wang Jiao couldn't help but speculate, "You two have been dating, right? You haven't talked about getting married, have you?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Su Yue was panicking. She and Lin Li were not a real couple, so how could they talk about getting married?

But she couldn't explain in front of Wang Jiao, otherwise the fact that she had asked Lin Li to be a shield would be exposed.

Helplessly, she could only respond vaguely, "We haven't been dating for long, so let's wait and see about getting married."

Seeing her attitude, Wang Jiao didn't know what to say and quickly changed the subject.

"Before I left this morning, I saw on the news that many investigators went to the wilderness to deal with strange beasts last night. Have you heard about it?"

Su Yue shook her head lightly, looking bewildered, "I got up late this morning and didn't have time to watch TV. I don't know anything at all."

The two chatted along the way and unknowingly arrived at the dining place.

Lao Chen's snail noodle shop is located on the roadside. The shop has been open for more than 20 years and the surrounding residents are regular customers.

At lunch time, most of the tables in the restaurant were occupied.

As soon as Su Yue and Wang Jiao entered the store, they instantly attracted a lot of attention, and almost all eyes were on the beautiful Su Yue.

"Boss, give me two bowls of snail noodles." Wang Jiao shouted crisply to the boss at the cashier counter.

The shop owner, whose hair had turned half white, smiled and asked in a skilled manner, "Do you want to add anything else?"

"Give me a braised chicken leg." Wang Jiao said, then turned to look at Su Yue.

Su Yue raised her eyes, looked at the menu on the wall, and said, "I want a plate of cold beef."

The shop owner nodded and quoted a price. The two took out their mobile phones to scan the code to pay, and then found an empty table to sit down.

…………

In an old community on the outskirts of the city, the traces of time are clearly visible.

Downstairs, several elderly people were sitting together, playing chess attentively.

The old people had lunch early, and now the young people are still having lunch, but they have gathered here leisurely enjoying the afternoon.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the balcony's security bars, casting fine shadows.

In the living room, Mu Qi and Zhang Zhao, both wrapped in bandages, sat slumped on the sofa with depressed looks on their faces, staring at the ceiling. No one spoke for a long time.

Last night, the two of them went to the wilderness to dig something according to the organization's orders.

Who could have thought that on the way back he would be attacked by a strange beast and almost lose his life.

After returning home, the two endured the pain and applied ointment to each other.

I thought that my injuries would get better after a good night's sleep, but the reality was far from ideal.

Even after applying ointment to the wound, the bleeding effect was still poor.

Now if they move a little bit, the wound will bleed.

"We have all applied special healing ointment, so why aren't the wounds healing?" Zhang Zhao was the first to break the silence. His voice was full of confusion and helplessness, and it echoed in the quiet living room.

Mu Qi sighed and guessed solemnly, "The injuries on our bodies were caused by that strange beast. This ointment doesn't work. It must be related to that strange beast."

"What should we do now? Although this injury is not life-threatening for the time being, if it continues like this, we won't be able to go out during the day." Zhang Zhao frowned, his face full of worry.

Mu Qi subconsciously raised his hand and wanted to rub his eyebrows to relieve his irritability.

But as soon as he raised his right hand, he felt a sharp pain from the wound on his arm. The originally white bandage was instantly stained red with blood, and the blood was still spreading.

Zhang Zhao saw this and hurriedly reminded, "There aren't many bandages left at home, so be careful."

"Fuck, what the hell is going on!" Mu Qi couldn't help but curse, and his frustration and resentment finally burst out.

Zhang Zhao saw Mu Qi's mood deteriorating, and his own anxious mood calmed down a little. He quickly spoke to comfort him, "Calm down, we will think of a way, and we will definitely be able to solve this problem."

Mu Qi took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down.

He knew in his heart that the more times like this happened, the calmer he had to be. Only by thinking calmly could he find a solution.

The living room fell silent again, and the two racked their brains to think of a solution.

Suddenly, the cell phone on the sofa rang abruptly, and the sharp ringtone instantly broke the silence.

"Who's calling?" Zhang Zhao asked puzzledly.

Mu Qi glanced at the phone screen and replied, "It's a contact."

After that, he carefully reached out for the phone and answered the call.

As soon as the call was connected, the contact's anxious voice came over, "How is that thing now?"

Mu Qi remained expressionless and responded calmly, "The metal box is fine, don't worry."

The contact person breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Of course I'm at ease with you guys doing the job."

Mu Qi complained angrily, "We almost lost our lives in the wilderness last night because of that thing. You have to explain our contribution to the organization..."

The contact smiled and reassured, "Don't worry, I will definitely write a detailed report on your mission and will not let you work in vain."

Mu Qi calmed down a little, and after hesitating for a moment, he decided to tell the contact person about the current problem to see if there was any solution.

The contact person was also very surprised after hearing Mu Qi's description of the wound.

Mu Qi said weakly, "This is the situation now. The wound has not healed, which seriously affects our going out."

The contact was silent for two minutes, then gave a suggestion, "Since the ointment doesn't work, try using supernatural powers to treat it... I'll send you an address later, and you can find a middle-aged man named Liu Dou, he can help you..."

"Is this guy reliable? If we ask him for treatment, he will betray us." Mu Qi was full of doubts.

The contact person explained with a smile, "Don't worry about that. He has been in this business for a long time. If he dares to betray a client, you don't have to do anything, but others will not spare him. He has to think about his own safety."

"That's good." Mu Qi felt a little more at ease after hearing this.
