Start a mysterious island

In a room on the second floor of the beautiful and elegant villa, the pretty Qin Muqing was wearing a bellyband embroidered with lotus patterns, leaning sideways, with her arms raised and lowered on her chest.

Her glossy black hair was spread out on the bed, her eyes were closed, her red lips were breathing evenly, and she slept peacefully.

"twitter……"

The crisp sound of birdsong came into the room from the window. The sleeping Qin Muqing's eyelashes trembled, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

"Ha~"

He yawned and stretched out his slender white arms from the thin quilt.

Raising her hands to rub her eyes, the sleepy Qin Muqing sat up.

The thin quilt covering her body slipped from her curvy body, and in an instant, there was a bright spring scenery.

After waking up, Qin Muqing got up and got out of bed, took off the clothes hanging on the hangers and put them on, covering up all the alluring spring light that was revealed.

After getting dressed, she came to the dressing table and sat down, looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, she raised her hand and touched her fair and rosy face.

Then, she opened the drawer of the dresser and took out a small, ordinary cloth bag.

Qin Muqing poured out a round jade bead the size of a pigeon egg from the small cloth bag. While activating the spiritual weapon in her hand, she whispered to herself at a volume that only she could hear.

"Mr. Lin has been away for two days and hasn't come back yet. Is something going to happen to him?"

After a while, Qin Muqing's beautiful face disappeared, and she walked out of the room with an ordinary appearance and walked to the first floor of the villa.

Breakfast is very simple, white rice porridge with pickles, a steamed bun and eggs.

After having breakfast, Qin Muqing came to the courtyard of the villa, holding a kettle in her hand to water some flowers in the courtyard.

The owner who built this villa before had quite good taste. He had many good varieties of flowers planted in the courtyard of the villa.

It's a pity that he hired someone to carefully design and build this villa. Before he could move in and enjoy it, he sold it to the next owner. The various flowers planted in the courtyard were in vain.

Although the flowers planted in the courtyard are far less rare than those planted in Qin Muqing's home garden, she is a flower lover herself. She will not look down on the flowers planted in the courtyard just because the varieties are not rare enough. .

"twitter……"

On a leafy tree not far away, there were several birds standing on the branches, looking at Qin Muqing who was watering the flowers in the courtyard. They were jumping around on the branches and making bursts of sounds. A cry.

Qin Muqing, who was watering the flowers, turned to look at the place where the chirping of birds came from. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she smiled and said to the chirping birds, "You must have woken me up just now!"

As for the birds living on the big trees in the courtyard, although their chirping was a bit disturbing, Qin Muqing did not think about driving them away.

Now she lives alone in the house, which feels a little deserted. There are so many noisy birds, which can make the house seem lively.

"Miss Qin."

Qin Muqing was looking at the chirping birds when she suddenly heard a familiar voice calling her, and she immediately turned her head to look.

Looking through the iron fence of the villa wall, he saw Sister Zhang, who was selling box lunches, standing outside the wall and saying hello to him.

"Sister Zhang, didn't you come out at noon? Why did you leave the stall so early today?" Qin Muqing asked in confusion while walking towards the gate of the villa.

Because the construction workers who are building houses nearby have to go home to eat in the evening, Sister Zhang, who sells lunch boxes, only sells lunch.

But it was early in the morning, and it was obviously not yet time for Sister Zhang, the lunch seller, to go out to sell lunch boxes. As for teaching Qin Muqing how to cook, the scheduled teaching time was not at this time.

Opening the door of the villa, Sister Zhang, who sold box lunches, and her trolley appeared in front of Qin Muqing. At this time, she explained to Qin Muqing.

"I got up early today to sell breakfast. I just sold out and stopped by to see you... By the way, Miss Qin, have you had breakfast? If not, I can give you half of the breakfast I left for myself." Sister Zhang, who sells box lunches, said with a smile.

"Thank you, no need, I've already had breakfast..." Qin Muqing shook her head and said.

"Okay, then I'll go home and prepare a lunch box for lunch, and I'll teach you how to cook later." Sister Zhang, who sells box lunches, said.

Qin Muqing said "hmm" and watched Sister Zhang, who was selling box lunches, pushing her trolley away.

"Sister Zhang is really working hard! This is the life of ordinary people... If I hadn't met Mr. Lin, my situation would have been even more difficult than that of Sister Zhang."

Qin Muqing couldn't help but sigh as she watched Sister Zhang walking away. She didn't look back until Sister Zhang disappeared around the corner at the end of the road while pushing her trolley.

Next, taking advantage of the bright sunshine today, she was going to wash the clothes she changed into when taking a shower yesterday.

In the past, I kept my fingers clean at home, but now I run away from home. Not only do I have to wash my own clothes, but I also have to cook my own meals. Although I am a little tired, this is my own choice.

Lin Li ate a lot of breakfast at the teahouse, and after filling his stomach, he planned to leave.

The waiter who received the fifty copper coins from Lin Li as a reward sent him to the door of the tea house very enthusiastically.

After leaving the teahouse, he was about to go to the oyster restaurant to buy another batch of pearls. At this time, Lin Li suddenly saw many strong men riding horses on the street with weapons on their backs.

"Give way and stay out of the way."

"drive……"

Passers-by walking on the street saw people on horses running fast, and immediately ducked to both sides of the street for fear of being hit.

The strong men on horseback who ran past Lin Li were either in teams of two or three, or in teams of four or five, or even more, in teams of more than a dozen people.

The members of these teams carrying weapons, riding horses, and rushing towards the city gate were obviously not ordinary people.

"So many people went treasure hunting again today!" The waiter said in surprise as he looked at the leaving teams.

Lin Li heard what the waiter next to him said, and immediately turned to look at him, and asked doubtfully, "What treasure hunt?"

"Sir, don't you know about treasure hunting?"

"have no idea."

"The thing is like this, a few days ago, when a caravan passed by Bibo Lake outside the city, they saw the alien beast White Scale Drilling Rat on the shore of Bibo Lake.

After this incident spread, many practitioners immediately formed a treasure hunting team and went to look for the white-scaled gopher's nest around Bibo Lake. "

The waiter's explanation did not make Lin Li understand how the white-scaled gopher had anything to do with treasure hunting, so he asked more. Then, the waiter explained the white-scaled gopher again.

After some understanding, Lin Li finally understood what treasure hunting was all about.

The white-scaled gopher is a herbivorous beast. It is less aggressive than other strange beasts and is generally not strong. It poses a relatively low threat to humans.

The meat of this strange beast is a bit sour and unpalatable, so no one would think of hunting it for food.

Logically speaking, no one would want to deal with such an unpalatable and low-threatening alien beast.

But many years ago, a practitioner who was not very strong and only had a first-level high-level cultivation was hunting strange beasts in the wild. He accidentally discovered a nest of white-scaled gophers.

He found a large number of spiritual stone mines of different sizes in this nest.

Later, the cultivator swept away the spiritual stone mines in the white-scaled gopher's nest and brought them back to the city to sell them. The harvest was converted into spiritual stones, about five hundred, and the cultivator immediately made a fortune.

After some people's research, everyone knows that strange beasts like white-scaled burrowing rats may encounter spiritual stone mines buried underground when they burrow into the ground.

When they encounter these spiritual stone mines, they will take them back to their nests and store them in case they need them in the future.

It is precisely because of this habit that as long as someone discovers traces of white-scaled gopher activities somewhere and spreads the word, it will develop into a lively scene of a large group of practitioners searching for treasures.

After Lin Li learned about this matter, he couldn't help but think about it.

“Squirrels on Blue Star like to store food in their nests for emergencies.

As for this white-scaled gopher in the spiritual world, he likes to put spiritual stone mines into his nest.

Although the species are different, the behaviors are very similar... quite interesting. "

Bibo Lake is located east of Dongwucheng City, about twenty kilometers away.

Groups of practitioners on horseback rushed out from the gate of Dongwu City and ran non-stop towards their destination.

As far as I could see, except for a man wearing a black training suit who was walking to his destination, everyone else was working in a team.

After Lin Li knew that if he found the white-scaled gopher's nest, he could harvest a lot of spiritual stone mines, he thought about it and decided to join in the fun.

After asking about the approximate location of Bibo Lake, he immediately left the city and walked on foot.

Although Lin Li asked clearly about the approximate location of Bibo Lake, after leaving Dongwu City, he saw a vast wilderness in front of him.

There aren't even any signposts on the road, so it's easy to get lost. It's better to find a group and follow.

Therefore, Lin Li chose a three-person team as his guide and followed the team from a distance.

"Brother, there is a guy behind us who has been following us since we left the city. Doesn't he want to do harm to us?" A man with long hair looked back at the figure behind him and said to his companion.

"He is only one person. If he really wants to do something bad to us, then don't blame us for being rude to him..." The leading bald man looked back and said nonchalantly.

"Brother, that's true, but it's really annoying to be followed by this guy all the time." Another man with short hair said.

"..." The leading bald man thought for a while, and it was indeed true. After all, in this wilderness, being followed like this would make anyone murmur in his heart, and it would inevitably lead to some dissatisfaction.

"Xu..."

Pulling the reins in his hand, the leading bald man stopped the horse.

Upon seeing this, his two companions immediately pulled the reins in their hands, causing the horse to stop.

Lin Li regarded the three-person team in front of him as his guide, keeping a certain distance and following them from a distance.

At this time, seeing the other party suddenly stop, Lin Li immediately slowed down the pace of following, then stopped, watching from a distance, waiting for the navigation team to continue setting off.

"Trouble..." The man with long hair saw Lin Li stop and stand in the distance to watch. He immediately cursed, "Brother, that guy also stopped. It seems that he is planning to follow us. ”

"It's just that this guy doesn't ride a horse. He doesn't even carry a weapon. Does he want to die by following us like this?" said the man with short hair.

The leading bald man looked at Lin Li who was standing in the distance. He saw that Lin Li was young and had no weapons on him. He was not worried about what threat such a person would pose to them.

However, being followed like this all the time makes me feel panicked. If I don’t solve this problem, how can I happily hunt for treasures?

"Come with me to meet this guy." The leading bald man said.

Then, he swung the reins in his hands, drove the mount under his crotch, and ran towards Lin Li, who was standing and watching in the distance.

When his two younger brothers saw this, they immediately drove their mounts to follow their elder brother.

"Huh?" Lin Li saw the navigation team running towards him. He did not choose to turn around and leave, but still stood there, wanting to see what the navigation team wanted to do.

"Xu..."

The leading bald man came six or seven meters in front of Lin Li and pulled the reins in his hands, causing the horse to stop. The younger brother following him separated to the left and right, maintaining a certain distance and stopped.

Judging from the postures put up by these three men, we can know that they have combat experience.

"Hey, you guy, why are you following us?" Before the bald man in the lead could say anything, the man with long hair, who was already very dissatisfied with being followed, took the lead and asked Lin Li in a very unkind tone.

Lin Li saw that the other party's attitude was so unfriendly, so naturally he would not give him a friendly attitude.

"I happen to be walking in this direction, and you are in front of me. How can I be asked to follow you?"

After hearing Lin Li's explanation, the man with long hair said angrily, "You are sophistry."

Lin Li shrugged, showing an indifferent attitude, "If you think so, then there's nothing I can do about it."

"You..." The man with long hair didn't know how to deal with Lin Li's indifferent attitude.

At first, he thought that the guy following him would make some arguments when faced with his questioning, but he never expected that the other person just explained lightly and then stopped arguing, which made him feel angry. Nowhere to spread.

"Okay, you said you didn't follow us, so you should leave now." Seeing that his companion's face turned red with anger, the man with short hair immediately said to Lin Li.

"I'm a little tired after running all the way. I need to take a rest now and go again later." Lin Li said as he raised his hand and wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead.

"..." The man with short hair was speechless when he saw Lin Li's false performance, and the anger in his heart was immediately aroused.

The bald man, who had been silent and didn't say much, saw that his two companions were made angry by Lin Li.

He knew that he had to say something, otherwise, his two companions would not be able to help but attack the young man in front of him.
