"OK, you go ahead and tell me, I'll relay it."

"You little bastards, I'm not a cruel and bloodthirsty person. I'll give you a chance to live today. Find the safest route to the island. I'll kill one of the disobedient ones along the way!"

Jiang Shaoxu relayed the words to him.

It was quite obvious that the two sea monkey monsters panicked immediately, lying on the reef with their bellies exposed and trembling.

Xu Fang swung out an ice chain, binding the two of them together.

Jiang Shaoxu also left a psychological imprint on the two sea monkey monsters, so that they were constantly forced by the chilling killing intent and had no choice but to risk their lives to lead the way!

Ice Crystal Surfboard, setting sail once again.

"I feel like we're really bad, exploiting the sea monkey monster like this. Will we end up hanging from a street lamp later?" Jiang Shaoxu laughed.

"Even if we hang it on a streetlamp, it has to be pink. We'll face each other, lips touching, moving gently in the wind..."

"Not serious!"

The two were laughing and showing off their affection, while the two sea monkey monsters ahead hurried on their way, not daring to look back.

Only after they left were the shrunken corpses broken apart by the waves, the blood flowing out and the stench of blood carrying far and wide.

Countless predators wandering nearby were drawn by the smell of blood and stumbled upon a group of human mages.

"Damn it, how can there be so many demons!"

"What about those two people?"

"No need to ask, it must have been eaten!"

These mages swam all the way here. They originally wanted to replicate Xu Fang's surfboard, but the ice mages lacked control and could only rely on the water mages to propel them forward with the waves.

Just when I was completely exhausted, I ran into a siren... Tsk, an unforgettable experience.

······

With a large number of demons drawn away, the pressure on Xu Fang's side suddenly eased.

The sea monkey monster truly lived up to its reputation as the biggest coward in the ocean. It had no intention of avenging its kind; instead, it became suspicious of its companions, each wanting the other to die first so it could survive.

If it weren't for Xu Fang's mediation, the two of them would have gotten into a fight on the street.

"There is land ahead!" Jiang Shaoxu said excitedly when he saw the green patches.

“It’s not land, it’s a red-rooted forest,” Xu Fang said. He had heard Professor Qiu Yuhua talk about this plant when he audited classes in the botany department.

A red root tree forest generally consists of one main tree. The roots of the main tree will plunge into water tens of meters deep. After a period of development, they will break through the water and form "another" red root tree.

Two are born, two are born three, and a forest of red root trees is born.

“We have to go through from the inside,” Xu Fang said, glancing at the trembling sea monkey monsters that dared not move forward, and thoughtfully providing two audio tracks so that they could reunite with their great-grandmother.

"There are many demons living ahead. Should we kill them?" Jiang Shaoxu asked with great interest.

"Let's settle down first."

Xu Fang took out a survey recorder from the large backpack behind him, which displayed a simple map of the island.

"The island has a U-shaped structure, and we are currently on its western outer edge."

He tapped his finger lightly on it: "I plan to go to the very middle of this U-shape, where the beach is, where the chances of being ambushed will be greatly reduced."

Furthermore, there's a river running through the island; we can camp here and lure the sirens over to kill them.

The fighting power of a sea monster in the sea is not comparable to that in a river.

Jiang Shaoxu understood this principle and nodded vigorously: "I agree."

"Then we'll go through the redwood forest, then through a swamp, and finally along the beach to reach our destination."

After deciding on the route, the two set off.

One is a sound-based weapon, and the other is a mind-based weapon. In terms of combat output, they may not be as good as lightning and fire, but when it comes to stealth, the latter is not even worthy of carrying their shoes!

September is already hot, and the redwood forest blocks out the sun, making the air seem to stand still. People with weak constitutions might suffocate.

Jiang Shaoxu pressed herself close to Xu Fang, enjoying the faint coolness emanating from his body.

"Look over there."

Xu Fang whispered, and Jiang Shaoxu looked up and followed the direction he was pointing. She was horrified to find a half-rotten corpse hanging on a vine!

"Wasn't this island sealed off by the Ocean Alliance? How could anyone get in?" Jiang Shaoxu asked, puzzled.

The man's body was tightly entwined with vines, his arms outstretched, and his mouth wide open as if pleading for help from his companions.

Xu Fang stared intently at the corpse's face. Jiang Shaoxu felt a chill run down her spine at just one glance and tugged at his sleeve, saying, "Stop looking, let's go."

“I just feel this face is strange… the rotting looks unnatural,” Xu Fang said, frowning.

Chapter 202 Jiang Shaoxu, how can you be so filthy!

By ordinary standards, Xu Fang is by no means a good person; countless lives have been lost at his hands.

The more you see, the more intuition you develop.

"Given the island's natural ecosystem, if it were to decompose naturally, it would definitely be infested with maggots or sucked dry by vines. But this corpse..."

Xu Fang frowned.

The corpse in front of me had half of its cheek completely rotten, with the white flesh inside bulging out, making it look disgusting.

But how should I put it, the way it rots looks a bit like something out of Hextech.

Moreover, there was a strange sense of familiarity... but I just couldn't remember where we met.

"Let's take a picture and upload it first, and see what the people from the Ocean Alliance have to say," Jiang Shaoxu suggested.

That was all they could do. The two took photos of the body, but encountered some trouble uploading them. The redwood forest blocked out the sun, the signal was intermittent, and the progress bar was frustratingly slow.

They packed it up and continued on their way.

The surrounding area had clearly not been exposed to sunlight for a long time; it was lifeless and filled with the smell of rotting matter and excrement.

The ice shards glided silently along with the water ripples. Every ten meters the two of them advanced, they had to release a burst of light, partly to provide illumination and partly to dispel the turbid air.

"There's a group of vine-tree monsters ahead," Xu Fang whispered. "The density is too high; we can't avoid them."

Jiang Shaoxu understood immediately: "I understand."

If you can't hide, then fight through!

Behind Xu Fang, a streak of azure star trails flashed by, and white mist billowed up, quickly spreading throughout the airtight space.

The will-o'-the-wisp and the audio track helped Xu Fang find his way forward.

He could sense that on each of the red-rooted trees, countless hunched monsters had noticed something was wrong and were letting out piercing screams, but their voices were blocked by the thick fog.

A strange tree spirit accidentally stumbled upon Xu Fang's presence.

Only when you get close can you see their true appearance. They are as ugly as an injustice, with bumps on their skin that are rougher than old trees, and their limbs are made of limp vines, swinging around like an octopus.

"Yah!!!"

Just as the vine-tree monster was about to scream, it was pierced through the heart by a suddenly appearing ice spike, and the blood that had just seeped out was frozen by the frost.

Jiang Shaoxu also displayed great power, actually commanding several vine tree monsters and their kind to fight each other!

"Okay."

Xu Fang praised it.

Jiang Shaoxu's previous mind magic was mostly used to interrupt the mage's star trails, and her control ability was only enough to trick the fish into coming ashore.

After so much special training, he can now not only communicate with the sea monkey monster, but also control demons on a mental level... Amazing!

"The best is yet to come, mark a location for me." Jiang Shaoxu proudly connected to the star map: "Chain of the Mind - Fearless!"

"Ice and Snow Paradise!"

The young couple unleashed their power simultaneously, and the vine-tree monsters, their eyes red, charged headlong into the ice and snow trap.

The first group that fell in struggled desperately, and just when they had a glimmer of hope of escape, they were trampled down again by their companions who rushed in!

The stagnant, deep water allowed the Ice and Snow Paradise to reach its full potential; the large group of vine-tree monsters disappeared in less than ten minutes.

Only the seawater, dotted with ice and bubbling, knows what a treacherous and despicable battle once took place here.

······

At the same time, another part of the island.

Nan Rongni, Liu Wen, and the others struggled to reach the shore, their clothes torn to shreds by the sea monsters, their bodies covered in gruesome wounds.

"Healing Spirit."

Nan Rongni connected to the healing star map, and milky white healing sprites danced gracefully, healing the wounds of the group.

"Damn, why are there so many sea monsters?" Liu Wen spat. He had almost been pierced by a gray swordfish.

"This is not normal! Shallow sea areas usually don't have that many demons gathered there; they are usually just inhabited by low-level demons like sea monkeys."

A woman standing nearby said angrily, "It must have been those two who alerted the sea monkey monster, otherwise why would we be so unlucky?"

"Alright, Sister Ma, don't blame them. They probably didn't mean it." Nan Rongni gently stroked her wounds.

Sister Ma said coldly, "Hmph, those two are obviously no decent people!"

Someone nearby chimed in, "That's right, I think they're doing it on purpose!"

"Xiao Ni, you're just too kind-hearted. You've never seen the ugliness of human nature!"

"Just for the sake of the Nationalist government's votes, they're willing to harm their own compatriots' lives, and the Ocean Alliance isn't even going to revoke their training qualifications?"

Nan Rongni smiled sweetly, appearing innocent and naive, and cast a healing spell on everyone.

"I'm a little hungry, let's find something to eat," one of them said. Everyone was exhausted; they hadn't felt hungry because they were only focused on the pain, but now their stomachs were growling.

"That's outrageous! Those people won't even let us bring our storage magic items!"

Water can be provided by water-based mages, but food cannot, since there are no food-based mages in this world.

So despite their complaints, they still had to hunt. Cultivating magic wasn't like cultivating immortality; even the most powerful person couldn't withstand going without food for several days!

"Damn it, the ground is flooded, my legs are about to rot from being soaked!"
