After severing the monster's head with a single sword strike, the undead elder didn't stop. He raised his hand and unleashed several more Yin-qi swords at the creature's body.
With its head severed, the creature was already incapacitated, and these Yin-qi swords landed firmly on its body.
Several more bloody holes instantly appeared on the monster's body.
But its scaly body stood still, staggering, but it didn't immediately collapse.
The head on the side grew increasingly dazed, and tears streamed from its eyes.
Its lips moved, and it uttered a slurred cry, "Fish God, Fish God!"
As the words fell, its body collapsed to the ground.
A puff of black smoke drifted from its body, bearing a human face resembling the head on the side.
The smoke drifted away from the island, eventually disappearing into the gray fog surrounding it.
Chen Xuanlin stared at this bizarre scene, his face gloomy and silent.
...
Inside the sacrificial stone in Sanyin Island Village, at the moment Chen Xuanlin cast his Soul Summoning technique,
the golden pages of Zhou Yi's mind flipped open again.
[Island Sacrifice System]
[Sacrificial Spirit Belief Scope: Sanyin Island]
[Sacrificial Spirit Belief Family: Chen Clan]
[Cultivators in the Belief Family: 1]
[Affiliated Islands of the Belief Family: 0]
[Island Strength Index Ranking: 3262541. Note: The number of cultivators in the Sacrificial Spirit Belief Family, their cultivation level, the island's fertility, and the abundance of spiritual energy all influence the ranking.]
[Since your family has become the first cultivator to receive this reward, you may choose from the following:]
[1. A First-Class Cultivation Technique: A rare technique.]
2. Lost Message Tablet: On an island engulfed by gray fog, a communication tablet, contaminated by the fog, has developed special functions. Note: This tablet possesses spiritual power. Unlike other message tablets, it can predict the power ranking and number of practitioners on the next island to connect to the shore when the fog clears.
Zhou Yi was stunned when he saw this information. Was this the benefit of the island spirit worship system?
In other words, the stronger the Chen family on Sanyin Island and the more practitioners they have, the greater the rewards they will receive from the system.
Zhou Yi once again focused on the two reward options.
After a moment's deliberation, he chose the tablet that could predict island information.
A first-grade technique might be rare, but it's not practical for Sanyin Island, which is currently starved of spiritual energy.
This tablet, which could predict the strength of the next island to connect to the shore, was the most suitable for the Chen family at this time, and it seemed to have other functions.
With this in mind, Zhou Yi chose the message tablet without hesitation.
After Zhou Yi made his choice in his heart, a smooth stone tablet two meters high fell from the sky.
[Remember the fastest novel station on the entire network 101𝘬𝘢𝘯.𝘤𝘰𝘮]
With a bang, it hit the ground next to Zhou Yi and stood steadily next to the stone sacrificial spirit.
Zhou Yi felt a special feeling in his heart. This stone tablet had established a special connection with him.
The people who stayed in the village were also startled by the movement of the stone tablet falling from the sky. They thought it was an attack from the island near the shore and were all panicked.
After a period of silence, the Chen family members made some inquiries and saw the huge stone tablet standing next to the sacrificial spirit.
The stone tablet was as smooth as a mirror, with a halo flashing from time to time, which looked very strange.
After observing it for a while, a few brave members of the Chen family went to call an elder who stayed in the village.
A white-haired elder of the clan came over with a crutch, staring at the stone tablet that was like a mirror and flashed with light from time to time.
After a long time, there was a sudden cry of surprise, "This... This is, the 'Dead Sea Communicating Monument'!"
A tribe member beside him hurriedly asked:
"Elder Qiuluo, what is the Dead Sea Communicating Monument?"
Chen Qiuluo coughed excitedly, "Cough, cough, cough, cough..."
After the coughing subsided, Chen Qiuluo patted his crutch and said:
"An isolated island in the Dead Sea, after the residents of the island have become powerful. This monument will appear on the island, which can receive information from many islands, and can also be used to trade with the islands, buy and sell goods, etc."
"This monument is mysterious, but if there are no practitioners with high cultivation on the island, this monument will never appear."
The man asked again:
"Elder, did you see it wrong? There are no practitioners on our island, so how can this monument be the Dead Sea Communicating Monument."
Chen Qiuluo sighed:
"As for why this monument appeared, I don't know either, but my Chen family also had a Sea of Death Communicating Monument in the past. It is recorded in the Chen Family Chronicles, and the Sea of Death Communicating Monument described there is very similar to the monument before us."
...
On the island connecting the shore.
Chen Xuanlin was currently examining several long nails.
After the two-headed monster fell, Chen Xuanlin controlled the old undead to burn the two-headed monster's corpse.
Naturally, the bodies of those killed by the two-headed monster were also burned by Chen Xuanlin.
These nails on his hands were the remains of the two-headed monster.
Seeing that the flames released by the undead could not burn them, Chen Xuanlin kept them.
These nails were extremely sharp and could be used to make spears, bows and arrows, or short blades.
In addition to Chen Xuanlin, there were a total of six clansmen who went to the island connecting the shore.
Among them, elder Chen Gan'er suffered a broken arm, and elder Chen Qiufang was seriously injured.
One member of the clan, thrown by the two-headed monster, tragically struck his head and died instantly. The other three suffered minor injuries.
They paid such a heavy price just to restrain the two-headed monster for a moment.
After Chen Xuanlin burned the corpse, the summoned old undead spirits, having expired, dispersed.
Chen Xuanlin used his flute to call the remaining Chen family members guarding the shore.
He was waiting
for them to arrive. Once they arrived, he had them collect the body of the Chen family member and take care of the injured. Then, Chen Xuanlin began directing the movement of food and other supplies.
This landing operation resulted in heavy casualties for the residents of Sanyin Island, but also a significant harvest.
The island possessed abundant resources, including dried fish and grain, as well as various agricultural seeds, cloth, and timber.
They even found a few live chickens in the wooden house next to them.
These items are extremely scarce for Sanyin Island.
Therefore, the Chen family members who went ashore to carry supplies were very agile and did not dare to stop for a moment, hoping to carry more things before dark.
After a while, the injured Chen Ganer was also treated and came to Chen Xuanlin.
His injured arm was fixed with several branches and then hung around his neck with several strips of cloth.
His face was calm, and you could not tell from his face that he was injured.
He sat leisurely aside and said to Chen Xuanlin, who was directing everyone:
"It is said that some practitioners with high cultivation can use great magical powers to leave some islands connected to the shore to form subsidiary resource islands, so that they can land on the island at any time. Is this true, Brother Xuanlin?"
Chen Xuanlin turned his head and glanced at Chen Ganer and said:
"There is such a legend, but it is too far away from us and we dare not imagine it."
Chen Gan'er sighed:
"This island is so livable. If we could move to this island and live, except for getting married, we cannot leave the island at will."
Chen Xuanlin shook his head and said:
"Don't think too much. People like us can only live on the island where we were born. Except when the fog clears and we reach the shore, we cannot leave our respective islands. This is the rule of the Dead Sea." "
How is your arm? Are there any other injuries?"
Chen Gan'er shook his head and said:
"It's just a fracture. It has been connected now. It's just uncomfortable to be hung by the neck like this."
"Elder Chen Qiufang was seriously injured. In addition, he is old, and his body's self-healing ability is not as good as ours. It's a bit difficult."
Chen Gan'er half lay on the beach, and then sighed:
"Brother Xuanlin, why are we born on this barren island, destined to be unable to leave in this lifetime? Does the boundless land that the elders of the tribe spoke of really exist..."
Chen Xuanlin did not respond immediately, but silently watched the tribesmen who were constantly moving supplies. After a long while, he did not answer Chen Gan'er's words, but simply said:
"My Chen family will live a good life in the future. At least we won't have to fight for a little food."
Chen Gan'er looked at Chen Xuanlin's back and said softly:
"Brother Xuanlin is worthy of the position of clan leader."
At this time, someone ran up from Chenjia Village in Sanyin Island and said to Chen Xuanlin:
"Clan leader, clan leader. Elder Chen Qiuluo is calling you. He said that a message monument of the Lost Sea appeared in the village."
Chen Xuanlin frowned. "The message monument of the Lost Sea?"
The messenger said:
"I don't know either. Elder Chen Qiuluo said it. It's next to the village's sacrificial spirit."
Chen Gan'er, standing nearby, was stunned. "What's the Dead Sea Message Monument?"
Chen Xuanlin didn't answer, but instead instructed the tribesmen nearby who were carrying supplies,
"You guys carry on. We must return to Sanyin Island before sunset. I'll go back to the village first."
"Don't let your guard down while you're moving. Be careful of other things on the island."
With that, he hurried back to the village.
Chen Gan'er immediately stood up and followed, "Wait for me, I'll go too."
