Chapter 41: Waiting on the Lonely Island(1/2)

When it appears, it is on a platform like the Island of Hope. Here you can see the situation of the entire island clearly.

This is an island about the same size as the Island of Hope, and the architectural style of the island is similar. But most of them are ruins and there is no complete one.

Jiangning was walking on the island, with corpses everywhere on the island, and it seemed that it had passed a battle to exterminate the clan.

When he was about to give up and go back, he saw smoke rising in the mountains.

Jiangning flew quickly to the place where the smoke rose and observed it secretly.

Twenty or thirty people gathered next to a large fire, with something roasted on the middle fire.

He dressed like a savage, no longer had his own language, but just greeted each other with simple syllables and expressed his emotions.

Jiangning went to the cave where they lived while they were having a dinner.

It is not a natural cave, it has different functional areas.

The more you go in, the more tide you get, the more humid you get.

Jiangning heard the sound of flowing water, followed the sound and found a groundwater vein.

He gave it a handful of rewards, sweet and clear.

When he turned around, he saw a ragged girl looking at him. Because she was covered in hair and her face was dirty, she couldn't see her appearance clearly.

"Hello, I'm just passing by here and come in and take a look..." Jiang Ning smiled when she couldn't understand what she said.

"You... well, I... am... Su Mei, the saint here." The girl said very unfamiliar at first, but gradually became smoother. Her voice was crisp and she looked a little unconfident and shy.

"You can talk, so why don't people outside talk and just use simple syllables to communicate?" Jiang Ning said in confusion.

"Only the saints of each generation are qualified to learn, but others cannot." The girl said simply.

Speaking is also a privilege? It seems that humans will divide their classes at any time and leave what they thought was the most precious at the top.

When Jiang Ning thought of this, he felt relieved, "What is this island called?"

The girl stood there, Shui Lingling's eyes kept staring at the stranger, "It's called Yonghe Island, wait, I'll go find my mother. She knows more than me." After that, she trotted away.

Jiangning stood by the water flow and looked carefully at this small place. There was a pond that could accommodate two or three people. There were pottery pots of large and small holdings of water next to it.

The footsteps sounded again, and a young woman under thirty years old walked in. She was dressed in rags but very clean, and her face was the same. She was very beautiful and gentle, and she blessed Jiangning with a little awkwardly, "The visit of the distinguished guest will make my Yonghe Island shine brightly."

Jiang Ning bowed, "I was just passing by, but I didn't expect someone to live here."

The woman led the girl. At this time, the girl had dressed up, washed her face and changed her clothes. She looked very cute, and she looked a bit like a woman.

"I am the last saint Su Jing. We are so simple and have nothing to entertain Mr. Jiang. Please forgive me." The woman said politely, and it was obvious that they had practiced for this moment for many years, and they did not use it until today.

"Madam Su, I'm very curious, why you are the survivors of the island, why have you not inherited the original civilization?"

Su Qing was a little sad and a little remembrance, and lost for a while before saying: "According to theories, after the ancient war, we enjoyed a peaceful situation of thousands of years. However, the mermaids rose and began to expand. The human race in the deep sea lost contact with the mainland at that time, and the islands that had been in contact with us were destroyed. In the end, we were an isolated island. We could not support ourselves. The war with the mermaids lasted for a hundred years and were eventually destroyed. Only a very small number of people escaped into the mountains and survived. But after a long period of time and generations of loneliness, only the saints were qualified to learn the words and languages ​​of the past, and this inheritance had been halted."

After a long period of silence, the girl just observed Jiang Ning curiously.

"Are you interested in contacting the outside world? Now there is an isolated island like you used to be, and the civilization on the island is well preserved. The island owner is very good. If you want, you can integrate into them. This is much better than your living conditions here."

Su Qing pondered for a long time, looked at her daughter, and said, "It doesn't matter how we are. If the young master can take my daughter in, Su Qing will be grateful."

"The Mermaids are not here for you?"

"Come on, I have to come to the island every year. But it's a fixed time. We mastered the rules and hid at that time."

"I remember that other islands have ancient holy objects that protect the island. Do you have any of your island?"

"It has happened. According to legend, it was a seashell with a pearl inside. It has always blessed Yonghe Island and other islands, but it was later stolen." Su Qing said calmly, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with herself, but Jiang Ning could see the hatred in her heart from her eyes.

"This place is not suitable for living. If you decide to leave, I can take you there. If you don't, I will leave immediately."

"Let's go, there's nothing to miss here." Su Qing made a clear statement this time that she wanted to seize this fleeting opportunity, for her daughter, and for her tribe members.

"How many people do you have in total?"

"More than a hundred people are scattered in this mountain."

"Then you call your tribe and we will set out as fast as possible, so as not to have a long night or dreams."

"good."

Jiangning brought more than 100 people to teleport back from the teleportation array.

Shen Xinle looked at these savages, and was worried that he could not even speak.

"Don't worry that these people are good at clearing the land, just to supplement your lack of manpower."

"Since Mr. Jiang said that, then that's it. I will treat everyone equally."

Jiang Ning asked Su Qing and Su Mei to come in and introduced him. Shen Xinle was quickly dealt with by Su Qing and drank a lot of wine at the banquet.

Jiang Ning did not leave and returned to the tent prepared for him. Su Mei came over soon.

Seeing that Jiang Ning was a little shy, she stood at the door of the tent, neither moving in nor retreating.

"Is Su Mei a thing?" Jiang Ning was a little surprised.

"My mother said I would serve Mr. Jiang. I didn't know what to do, so I could only stand here to watch over the night."

Jiang Ning called her in and said, "I don't need anyone to serve you, your tribe members have all arranged it?"

"Well, Lord Shen set a piece of land for us and gave us a lot of useful things and food." Su Mei sat down and Jiang Ning poured her a cup of tea.

"That's good. Such a big island is enough for you to live in. There is no need to worry about the mermaids coming."

"Yes, every year the mermaids catch many of us..." Su Mei suddenly stopped talking.

Jiang Ning looked at him and smiled, "Is it your mother who doesn't let him say it?"

Su Mei nodded and shook her head, just stopped talking.

Jiang Ning had actually thought of this possibility for a long time. They should have been very similar to the Island of Hope before, and they sacrificed some people to survive.

Jiang Ning can understand this and will not stand at the highest point of morality and say some fake and empty words.

After sending Su Mei away, Jiang Ning lost his sleepiness and went to the cave of the teleportation array. Shen Xinle was not asleep yet and was busy.

Jiang Ning reminded him that Su Qing and his friends might have the same experience as he used to. Let him keep some snacks.

It is not a good time to try the array at night, but if you can't sleep, you might as well do something.

Two more arrays were opened, but they were not activated. It seems that the teleportation array on the opposite side has been destroyed.

Only the last one was left, and the teleportation array was opened, and Jiang Ning disappeared into the array.

I felt dizzy when I came out again, which was a sequelae of ultra-long-distance teleportation.

In the darkness, Jiang Ning lit a little light at his fingertips, and there was a thin layer of clouds around him, blocking his vision.

Jiangning smelled a faint fragrance. He moved gently, without any sound of falling steps.

There was also a stone chamber outside. Jiang Ning looked over and saw a huge alien beast with deer antlers on his head and phosphorus all over his body.

Jiang Ning didn't want to disturb it, so he teleported outside the cave.

The entire island is very small, just a mountain and a forest, and you can see the end at a glance.

Jiangning flew to the sky and looked around. Within the view, there was an endless sea water. There was nothing else.

He was a little disappointed, and it seemed that nothing had been discovered here. Just as he was about to go back, he heard a woman behind him saying, "What are you looking for?"

Jiang Ning was a little surprised. He didn't notice that someone appeared behind him at all, but he knew that the other party had no malice. "I'm just curious, but there's nothing here." Jiang Ning turned around and saw a woman wearing clouds and mist.

The woman had her hair loose, her skin was fair, and her eyes and eyebrows were full of heroism.

"Yes, there is nothing but sea water. Are you very disappointed?" the woman said, looking at the sea.

"It's a bit, how did you find me?"

"As soon as you teleport over, I knew it. I just wanted to see what you were going to do." The woman said proudly.

"Oh, it seems that I'm showing off my skills in front of the masters." Jiang Ning said mockingly.

"Are you really just passing by?" The woman seemed to be expecting something.

“Just passing by.”

"Oh, let's talk to the island." The woman sighed in disappointment and descended, and Jiang Ning followed.

The two sat down, and the woman took out a treasured wine pot, two cups, poured Jiang Ning full of wine, and said, "This is what he gave to me, I have never been willing to drink it. Today, there is a rare opportunity for someone to accompany me, so we are drunk happily." After saying that, the woman raised her head and drank it all.

Jiang Ning picked up the cup to imitate a woman and also drank the wine in the glass.

The wine entered his stomach, and a sensation rushed straight into his throat. Jiang Ning coughed and said, "What a strong wine."

The woman laughed and said, "Looking at how weak you are, you shouldn't drink often. It is said that this is made of spiritual fruits that have been for thousands of years. When he gave me it, he was still a new wine, and it was very spicy. Now it has been aged for nearly a thousand years, and the wine has become much more mellow."

The woman poured another cup for Jiang Ning and filled it with her, "You can do whatever you want." She drank it all over again, "Happy."

Jiang Ning was infected by the woman's heroic spirit and drank another drink.

"He fled back then, and lived on my island for a hundred years. I didn't expect that this separation would last for a thousand years. I don't know what happened to him now?" the woman recalled.

Jiangning can tell from the language spoken by a woman that she must not be a Middle-earth or a person related to Middle-earth. Because she speaks an ancient language, just like the islanders of the Island of Hope. Few people can do this language in Middle-earth.

"Do you have no clothes?" Jiang Ning asked curiously when he saw the woman covering her body with clouds.
