Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Meanwhile, in the cargo hold at the bottom of the Madeira, Xu San was looking at Huan Ji, whose consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred, with a worried expression.

The Phantom Princess still retained a shred of rationality. She spoke softly, in a broken voice, "Kill me. I reckon I won't be able to control myself for long."

"Hmm~~~" Xu San made a constipated sound; he was finding it really hard to make this decision.

Killing Huan Ji wouldn't be difficult at all, and even if he did, he wouldn't feel any psychological pressure.

But deep down, he still felt a little reluctant to kill him.

This wasn't out of sentimentality, but rather because he felt that Huanji still had residual value that hadn't been fully extracted.

Having already embraced the capitalist lifestyle, he felt it was too early to kill Huan Ji.

"Phew~~" Huanji sat down and took a deep breath, trying to keep her breathing steady and her mind clear.

Xu San stroked his chin, wondering how this war of resistance theme had suddenly turned into fantasy.

The reason it's X is because Xu San doesn't know whether the current situation is science fiction or fantasy.

Moving forward some time, the two returned to the secret room and hid there.

After waiting for a while, Captain David, Doctor Raul, and the unknown burly man also returned to the secret room.

Next, Raul mixed his own blood with other unknown liquids and drew the magic circle again.

It's that six-pointed star magic circle.

After the drawing was completed, Xu San saw the burly man begin to perform a shamanistic ritual.

The practice of "shamanic rituals" is actually a kind of mystical spiritual practice.

Then, Captain David dragged in a woman.

The woman was young and of Asian descent, but Xu San wasn't sure if she was Japanese or Korean because he couldn't see her face clearly. He could only roughly judge from her facial features that she was 80% East Asian. As expected, after being dragged in, Raul severed her arteries.

The blood then flowed to the ground, and began to flow eerily along the drawn six-pointed star.

By this point in the story, Xu San had completely labeled David and his group as members of the X cult.

The woman quickly lost her life, and the blood simply flowed in the direction of the pattern, without spreading or congealing.

About an hour passed like this.

ZTE, located on the six-pointed star, suddenly flickered a few times, and then a box appeared.

The box seemed to appear out of thin air, but Xu San could tell that An had emerged from under the floor.

It seems that the blood triggered some mechanism.

The box didn't move, so Raul simply reached out and picked it up.

At this moment, Xu San suddenly remembered that just now these three people seemed to have told Raul to take something to Yamatai first.

It seems this is what they were talking about.

Aside from the Qi Refining Manual that Zhang Shouling gave him, this was the most fantastical thing Xu San had ever seen.

Xu San felt he could explain the messy stuff in the Qi Refining Technique using his extensive knowledge of physics, but what was happening before his eyes seemed much harder to explain.

Not only Xu San, but Huan Ji beside him was also very interested in the contents of that small box.

She knew that the strange scene that had just happened must be related to what was inside the box.

She gave Xu San a wink, and Xu San understood. So the two of them left the secret room, waiting for David and the others to leave. Then, when Raul was alone, they would launch a surprise attack and steal the box.
