Chapter 247

He didn't leave for a long time.

On the other side,

Li Xiao lowered his head to look at the Eternal Pointer in his hand,

recalling the words Hancock had said earlier when she refused to remove the Dragon Hoofmark,

turned his head to look back at Amazon Lily, which was growing smaller and smaller in his field of vision,

and couldn't help but smile faintly.

Hancock,

you only think you haven't yet removed the brand on your heart,

little do you know,

the moment you refused me,

you had already taken the first step,

and the hardest step at that — facing the brand on your body head-on!

————————

Li Xiao stepped onto a patch of black land,

and looked up at the sky above his head.

He saw only a layer of thick grey-black fog shrouding the sky,

blocking out all the sunlight,

making the island beneath Li Xiao's feet a scene of gloom,

permeated with a chill!

Half a day ago,

he had left Amazon Lily and set off on the journey to Alabasta.

Along the way,

Li Xiao rode the clouds,

streaking at top speed in the direction the Eternal Pointer indicated!

With Li Xiao riding the clouds,

his traveling speed was far faster than that of a sailing ship,

and in just half a day he had already crossed a vast stretch of sea!

However,

just a few minutes ago,

in a momentary lapse of his Cultivation Technique,

Li Xiao discovered he had suddenly entered a stretch of sea enveloped in thick fog!

What surprised him even more,

was that within this thick fog there actually existed an island of no small area!

Thinking of this,

Li Xiao suddenly remembered something!

Speaking of which,

he hadn't checked in today yet!

Since one location couldn't be checked in repeatedly,

therefore,

the last check-in had been half a month ago at Amazon Lily!

Although Li Xiao didn't recognize the island before him,

it seemed to be just an unnamed deserted island,

but judging by the way it was shrouded in thick fog,

it didn't seem to be an ordinary island!

Perhaps in the system's judgment it also possessed a certain special quality?

While pondering,

Li Xiao Then Already habitually chose to check in silently in his heart!

"Ding, congratulations to the host on a successful check-in!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host on obtaining the reward 【Heavenly Net Strange Formation Diagram】"

"Ding, congratulations to the host on obtaining the reward 【Cloud-Chasing Sun-Stepping Steps】"

"Ding, congratulations to the host on obtaining the reward 【Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth】"

Listening to the four system notification sounds that came in succession in his mind,

Li Xiao's originally casual expression instantly froze!

He had originally thought getting two One Yang Pills would be pretty good,

but he hadn't expected,

that three top-grade rewards would actually pop out in a row!

Holy shit! (jumbled ad text)

What's going on!

Did the system pull from the wrong prize pool?

In a somewhat dumbfounded mood,

Li Xiao began examining the specific details of these three rewards.

"Heavenly Net Array Diagram,"

this was a manual of array formations,

similar to the "Basic Talisman Explanation" Li Xiao had drawn before,

except the former's content was arrays,

while the latter's content was talismans!

Beyond that,

the "Heavenly Net Array Diagram" and the "Basic Talisman Explanation" were not on the same level at all!

This point,

one could see just from the names!

"Basic Talisman Explanation"

that name was chosen

just like a "Primary School First Grade Chinese Textbook"!

It was obviously the most common, run-of-the-mill product!

In contrast, the "Heavenly Net Array Diagram,"

its name immediately exuded prestige,

a true collector's edition book!

(Basic Talisman Explanation: Black person with a question mark face. jpg!!! When Zhao Li first got it, you called me "Little Sweetie," but now that you have a new love, you call me "Mrs. Cow"? Scum! Pfft!)

In fact,

it truly was so!

Although both were essentially book-type rewards,

neither could be mastered quickly through the system,

requiring Li Xiao to learn them on his own!

But compared to the "Basic Talisman Explanation,"

the arrays contained within the "Heavenly Net Array Diagram" were undoubtedly vast!

Basically, for any cultivator,

it included every array you could possibly use,

and even every array you could never use!

From the small Spirit-Gathering Formation,

to the great Immortal-Prisoning Formation,
