Chapter 927

"The Yin-Sha of Dragon Spine Island is one of the sources of Yin-Sha turbid energy, we cannot get close," Min Tianxi was now telling everything he knew, not daring to hide anything. "Besides, if I were to rashly live on Dragon Spine Island, I suspect the Heavenly Covenant Treasure Scroll wouldn't be able to withstand the wrath of the Yin-Snake King."

He Lingchuan was good at grasping the key points: "What did the ancient immortals come to Dragon Spine Island for?"

"It is said that they came to extract and refine Yin-Sha. As for what they refined, I don't understand either," Min Tianxi said dryly. "Immortal methods, I don't understand."

"Refine?"

The spellcaster Xiang Lian said from the back: "It's probably a weapon for fighting enemies, or some harmful thing."

"Oh?"

"Even in the ancient times, there were some desperate places that even immortals didn't want to get close to. I guess the Yin-Sha desperate place is one of them. If you stay here for a long time, I'm afraid you will be entangled by evil obstacles," the spellcaster Xiang Lian explained from the side. "Since that's the case, Yin-Sha might be able to be refined into weapons. Ancient immortals often collected a wisp of rosy light, a mountain of miasma, and a river of flowing water to refine. The purpose of coming here might also be to collect raw materials."

He Lingchuan remembered the old collection of the Green Palace, the "Green Bottle," which could easily hold half a river of water and beat Zhao Pan's army into disarray.

Min Tianxi had been paying attention to the direction of the boat, and at this time couldn't help but ask: "Young Master, is this boat heading to the depths of the archipelago?"

"Not bad."

Min Tianxi said carefully: "The Yin-Sha in the depths of the archipelago is too thick, even immortals don't want to get close, aren't you, aren't you afraid?"

He Lingchuan glanced at him and smiled.

In the previous few times, he killed people as soon as he finished laughing. Min Tianxi now felt cold in his heart whenever he saw his smile, and subconsciously avoided his gaze.

He was arrogant at first, but now he was obedient, at least on the surface. He Lingchuan was quite satisfied with this.

Sure enough, treating pirates with tolerance and gentleness will only make them think you are easy to bully.

You have to use truth to influence them, that is:

Whoever has the harder fist is the boss.

They are fierce, you have to be fiercer than them; they are cruel, you have to be crueler than them.

Only when the arrogance of the pirates is tortured by pain and fear will they be submissive to He Lingchuan. Later, as long as the master is a little better to them, they will be grateful and loyal.

After all, bullying the weak and fearing the strong is already written in the instincts of most people.

He Lingchuan knew that means only serve the final goal.

Goals are diverse, and means must be ever-changing.

Taming pirates is like this; to collect other forces, he might change to another method.

"I said before that I could drive away the Yin-Sha of the Yangshan Archipelago, didn't you not believe it?" He Lingchuan looked towards Dragon Spine Island. "Then seeing is believing."

Today is a cloudy day, with thick clouds, and the sun never showed its head. Sailing into the depths of the archipelago at this time is the most dangerous, because the Yin-Sha has long permeated the sea surface.

Min Tianxi didn't make a sound. After being smashed twelve times on the face by He Lingchuan, his brain became clearer: this Young Master He actually does things with a method, but everyone didn't understand it before. So, he shouldn't, probably, maybe not drag the whole boat to die, right?

The other pirates rolled their eyes, secretly assessing the probability of jumping into the sea to escape.

Qiu Hu and the others saw their strangeness and laughed secretly.

He Lingchuan asked them: "You have seen people die from Yin-Sha, right? What do they look like?"

The bandits were secretly shocked: You don't know? You don't know and you dare to rush into the depths of the archipelago? And drag us to die together?

Min Tianxi's cold sweat came out again: "Everyone's physique is different, and their ability to resist evil energy is also different. But most people encounter evil energy, even if they hold their breath, it will seep into the skin from the pores and invade the internal organs."

"Generally speaking, touching a little thin fog will cause dizziness, nausea, and vomiting; if you retreat quickly, it's still in time. If you stay in the fog for a long time, or if the Yin-Sha concentration is high, people will soon go crazy and die soon."

He Lingchuan asked: "No exceptions?"

"Some people grow hair after death, and people become unconscious zombies, wandering on the island all day. But they are afraid of water and light, and generally cannot reach the human residential area."

He Lingchuan muttered: "Why does it sound like a place Ba likes?"

"Ba?" Min Tianxi actually knew this kind of monster. "Yes, it is said that the Yangshan Archipelago had Ba a long, long time ago."

He Lingchuan was energized: "When?"

"That's not clear, it's just a legend."

After walking for another hour, the boat went deeper into the archipelago, and shallow gray mist began to appear in the sea area ahead.

It's like clouds drifting to the water surface, and they will change direction halfway, as if they have spirituality.

As soon as everyone saw the gray mist, they moved, and actually drifted straight towards the boat.

The speed was getting faster and faster, without even a turn.

Seeing the Yin-Sha in the fan-shaped area ahead gathering, the pirates' scalps went numb.

The boat, on the contrary, fearlessly greeted it.

Only two "splash" sounds were heard, and two pirates took the opportunity to abandon the boat and jump into the water, swimming towards the island behind without looking back.

The nearest island behind was three miles away, and with their swimming skills, it was not a problem to swim over.

These two people didn't forget to look back and observe, only to find that the Yin-Sha was rushing towards the boat, scaring their mouths open.

The Rongshan people on the boat had experience, and they stood one zhang behind He Lingchuan.

I saw the Yin-Sha not looking for anyone, but rushing towards He Lingchuan like a moth to a flame, and then—

Disappeared.

It was as if this person was a huge black hole, or a bottomless abyss, and the Yin-Sha disappeared without a trace when it touched him.

The four bandits on the boat were dumbfounded, Min Tianxi pointed at He Lingchuan, too shocked to speak: "Thi-this, this...?" How is this possible!

Pointing at people like this is very rude, but He Lingchuan knew he was agitated and was too lazy to care about him.

Another pirate said tremblingly: "Are you an immortal? Only immortals can collect, collect Yin-Sha!"

They are also pirates who have experienced wind and rain and seen the world. They know that Yin-Sha will not disappear out of thin air, but can be collected by people. What He Lingchuan did was not driving away evil, but collecting evil!

Everyone heard it and felt it made sense. Didn't Xiang Lian say before that only immortals have such means.

Where can humans do such things! He Lingchuan smiled without a word, a look of unfathomable mystery.

Mystery can make people respect from fear.

Making people fear you from the heart is not difficult, but making people respect you from the heart is not something that "cleverness" alone can achieve.

Only Qiu Hu remembered the two people on the water: "The two who jumped into the water, do you want to fish them up?"

"Fish them up."

Afterwards, the two little clever ghosts who abandoned the boat to escape were pulled onto the boat again.

They were soaked all over, trembling as they looked at He Lingchuan, not knowing whether it was from the cold or fear.

Today's experience repeatedly hit their usual cognition.

As the boat got closer and closer to Dragon Spine Island, there was more and more gray mist on the sea, and the posture of rushing to He Lingchuan became more determined.

That scene was like a long whale sucking water, gray mist automatically came from all directions, and even formed a huge vortex visible to the naked eye above the boat.

Looking from a distance, it seemed like a tornado had blown up here, commonly known as a dragon sucking water.

And the center of the vortex was He Lingchuan, where there was no gray mist at all, none!

He simply sat down to drink wine.

If it weren't for the gray mist lingering around, his behavior would be like going out to play.

And in the eyes of everyone hiding at the stern, this "Young Master" was simply like a bottomless pit, no matter how much Yin-Sha came, he would accept it all.

This scene became more shocking towards the end.

Until half an hour later—

The group of bandits, like the Rongshan disciples, went from initial disbelief to being unable to figure it out, and finally became relieved and accustomed to it.

With Young Master He here, the Yin-Sha couldn't rush to anyone else, so they had nothing to fear.

The group of bandits had at least two speculations in their hearts. Either this Young Master He could absorb Yin-Sha himself—what was his true face, some kind of demon or ghost? Another possibility was that he possessed a treasure that absorbed Yin-Sha! If so, the treasure was really not simple. Ordinary magic artifacts would be contaminated if they touched Yin-Sha, and would be damaged if they were in contact for too long.

So Min Tianxi was very confused.

He Lingchuan turned back and asked him: "Have you ever seen the Yin-Snake King?"

Min Tianxi shook his head quickly: "Only heard its voice, besides, we generally don't enter the depths of the archipelago."

Although Yin-Sha cannot see sunlight, there is a lot of wind and rain on the sea. Sometimes a cloud floats over and can block the sunlight. When you will encounter Yin-Sha, it's really hard to say. So the pirates nearby won't go deep into the archipelago, only merchant ships chased to a dead end dare to take such risks.

Now this boat is less than twenty miles away from Dragon Spine Island, and the Yin-Sha along the way has been sucked away by He Lingchuan. For local bandits born and raised like Min Tianxi, the opportunity to walk deep into the archipelago is actually not much.

They looked left and right, planning the route in their minds.

He Lingchuan asked them: "If you are allowed to take over this boat, how fast can you row out of the depths of the archipelago?"

Min Tianxi looked at his flying sleeves, looked at the sky, and even sniffed a few times before saying: "It depends on the situation, fast in fifteen minutes, slow in a stick of incense, the wind direction can change. When does the young master want to turn around and leave?"

He Lingchuan thought for a moment: "Within thirty minutes."

"At that time, it will be downwind, and you can take the West Wind Strait. This boat is good. If the five of us cooperate, we can leave the danger zone in thirty minutes and reach the outermost periphery in an hour," Min Tianxi's answer was very certain. "Strange, is there any heavy object in the hold? With less than twenty people, the boat speed should be faster."

He knew very well that only by proving his value could he be safe on this boat.

He Lingchuan gave an "um": "Yes, things are put in the hold, they can't be thrown away."

He said no, so it was no. Min Tianxi thought for a moment: "After the sun comes out, the wind can be even bigger."

"When will the sun come out?"

Min Tianxi didn't answer immediately, but looked up at the sky and discussed with his companions: "Looking at this cloud group, at most half a stick of incense."
