Chapter 197 No Danger, Karin Creates Danger
"These days, technology and ruthless skills have even spread to the cultivation world?"
Huali's first reaction was that Zhanli was teasing her.
Having been tormented to the point of exhaustion, Yan Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when his eyes caught sight of the broken arrow, he subtly raised an eyebrow.
"Wait a minute, something doesn't seem right." Ao Bai paused in his actions as he was hiding the pearl. "This Fiery Bow is Zhan Li's natal magic weapon, and the matching crossbow should be just as important to him. The arrows are broken... Is this guy in danger?"
Huali then realized that most of the day had passed and Zhanli still hadn't returned.
"But we can't rule out the possibility that this kid is deliberately trying to trick us." Ao Bai stretched and elegantly opened the four small bamboo shoots. "He hasn't paid for the inn yet."
"What? No way, we absolutely have to find them!" Huali slapped her thigh and prepared to leave.
A dark glint flashed in Yan Xi's eyes, "Where is my little benefactor going?"
"Something might have happened to Zhan Li, I'm going to check on him."
"Didn't my little benefactor say before that you two were just acquaintances?" Yan Xi bit her lower lip, the aroma of tea filling the air. "But now you're leaving me here all alone because of him."
Although she knew this guy was an actor, Huali still felt a little sorry for Xiao Zhenzhu. "Sigh, I'm mainly afraid that Zhanli is like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather."
Scumbags have their own formula. She climbed back onto the bed with difficulty, standing on tiptoe and holding onto the edge of the bathtub. "It's getting dark. Stay home and behave yourself. Don't kick off the covers when you sleep."
Yan Xi: "......"
"Oh right, the fish doesn't need a blanket." Huali realized and reminded him again, "Then drink more hot water, I'll be back soon."
“But…I’m scared,” Yan Xi’s voice held just the right amount of panic, “Why don’t you take me with you, my little benefactor…”
"Thanks for reminding me." Huali slapped her thigh again, took out a plastic bag and solemnly placed it in Yanxi's stiff hand. "If you're scared, be sure to put this over your ears."
Yan Xi took a deep breath, and half a second later, she forced a pale, stubborn smile. "My little benefactor, you won't think I'm a burden, will you?"
Karin, who was actually quite disgusted, suddenly realized something just as she was about to leave and immediately shook her head, "Of course not, aren't we Team Rocket? We should act together."
The little girl was too cunning, and Yan Xi remained silent, wary.
Sure enough, the next second, Karin smiled sweetly, "Little bird, you merfolk should be very fast swimmers, right?"
"How about... you carry me and swim across the sea?"
Yan Xi: "......"
Just before leaving, Huali realized she couldn't fly on a sword and coaxed, "Don't worry, we definitely won't do a losing business. You get four, I'll get five, and Aobai will get one of the rescue fees."
Yan Xi imagined himself carrying Hua Li in the sea, with a fat cat perched on Hua Li's head in a three-fold shape, and then closed his eyes tightly.
"But... my internal injuries haven't healed yet..."
Hua Li was still planning to try and win it over, but Ao Bai suddenly remembered, "Hey, hey, I almost forgot, Zhan Li's bronze compass is still here with us!"
"That's a flying artifact. You couldn't use it before because you didn't have spiritual power, but now that you have spiritual power, you should be able to drive it!"
"That's right!" Huali's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to bend down and rummage through the things.
Even if you haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run?
Anyway, she has a wood-type card, so she can just go all out!
Huali silently felt the warm sensation in her body, trying to gather the heat between her fingers.
"boom--"
The next second, the palm-sized compass actually grew bigger! It was trembling and hovering half a foot above the ground.
"It's done!!!" Huali shouted excitedly.
See that? See that? She drives a Ferrari now.
However, as soon as Huali jumped up and sat down, the compass suddenly turned into a wild horse that had broken free of its reins.
With a "whoosh," it shot upwards like a rocket, crashing wildly through the room.
Huali was like a rag in a spin dryer, her hair instantly covering her face.
Yan Xi leaned against the bathtub, looking up at the 'precious footage of early humans taming flying artifacts', a quick smile playing on his lips.
His fingers twitched almost imperceptibly, and the spinning bronze compass instantly calmed down.
The rosewood was spread out in a large "X" shape on top, making my eyes see stars.
After waiting quietly for a moment, just when Yan Xi thought she would give up, the little girl suddenly sat up as if she had a sudden burst of energy, and excitedly waved to him, "Little bird, come up here quickly, I feel like I've grasped the essence, this time it will definitely work!"
Yan Xi: "...My little benefactor, I..."
Karin: "Didn't you say you trusted me the most? Was it all a lie?"
Yan Xi gritted his teeth: "...Fine, let's go."
Ao Bai: "......" One dared to drive without a driver's license, and the other dared to follow him even though he knew the other didn't have a driver's license.
How can this not be considered a two-way journey for the patient?

Haixin Island.
Zhan Li grabbed Ah Hai and rolled him around on the spot, then suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. Without pausing, he turned his back, drew an arrow, and prepared to draw his bow again, but the moss behind him had vanished.
Even more strangely, not a trace of its presence was left behind, as if it had never existed at all.
As Zhan Li was still in a daze, a figure suddenly appeared above his head. After seeing who it was, he widened his eyes, "Huali?"
Seeing Huali hover just above his head as she flew on her sword, Zhanli felt a mix of emotions. He spoke with a heavy heart, "Why are you here? Is it because you're worried..."
"I'm not here to save you! I'm just telling you that we're on different paths and can't work together. Shen Yu has arrived, and I'm returning the arrow to you," Hua Li said coldly.
Shen Yu? Zhan Li was about to speak when Qi Ran appeared with Li Yuan.
Qi Ran smiled gently and said, "Zhan Li, I can't go back to the Witch Clan with you. I promised A Yuan that I would stay in the Cangming Sea with him."
The two consecutive blows turned Zhan Li's face pale.
At this moment, slowly recovering from his shock, Ahai said thankfully, "So there really are man-eating moss monsters on this island. Luckily, the immortal saved me..."
Zhan Li was taken aback. "So that's how it is? Who told you this rumor?"
Ah Hai gasped for breath, "That's what everyone's saying..."
In a flash, Zhan Li suddenly realized something. He quickly turned his head, but there was no sign of Hua Li or Qi Ran anywhere.
Ah Hai was also taken aback. "Huh? The person from earlier..."
Zhan Li frowned. "This island specifically materializes the fears in people's hearts. You were afraid of monsters when you came to the island, so you conjured up moss. As for me..." The boy's eyes flickered with uncertainty. "Never mind, let's go first. Remember not to overthink things."

The sky was a clear, sapphire blue, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun, and the sea shimmered with light.
Everything is so beautiful—
If we ignore the huge compass crookedly carrying two drenched chickens on the sea.
Hua Li and Yan Xi were soaked to the bone, like two salted fish just pulled ashore, slumped miserably in the center of the still dripping compass.
Water droplets slid down Yan Xi's pale jawline. He closed his eyes, seemingly trying his best to endure something.
"My little benefactor... your spiritual power seems a bit unstable..."
Huali burped, feeling a bit full from drinking seawater. "No, falling into the sea four times in half an hour is already amazing for a beginner." She proudly puffed out her little chest. "Look, we're almost there and the compass hasn't flipped, which means my skills are improving."
The veins on Yan Xi's forehead twitched merrily.
He felt that if he listened any longer, even his last shred of pretense would crumble.
Enough is enough; there's no need to endure it any longer.
He flicked his fingers quickly and silently uttered a single syllable, "Quick."
call out--
The trembling compass instantly shot out like a rocket!
"Ahhh!!! What's going on?" Huali swayed and immediately wrapped herself around Yanxi with her hands and feet!
Yan Xi wasn't much better off; his view was suddenly blocked, and his sickly, handsome face was twisted into a somewhat ferocious expression.
Just as he was prying open Hua Li's arm, the compass had already smashed into the seawater next to the island at a tricky angle. Like a stone skipping across the water, it skimmed the edge of the beach, lifted up suddenly, rolled over, and finally landed sprawled on the sand.
As expected, Huali and Yanxi encountered another accident.
Three breaths later, the experienced Huali climbed out of the shallow water. Just as she was about to call out to Yanxi, she was drawn to the scene in front of her.
Thick, ink-like black mist surged across the island like living things, twisting branches into bizarre claw shapes, and the sea breeze blowing through the branches sounded like someone was crying.
Such an atmospheric scene made Huali swallow the seawater, and her mind involuntarily turned to some classic films.
The Ring!
The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village!
Zombie Family, etc...

At the same time, Zhan Li carefully parted the black vines, and a square box appeared in the clean open space in front of him.
"A magical artifact?"
A faint crackling sound of electricity rang out...
As soon as Zhan Li got close, the screen on top of the "box" suddenly lit up!
Before he could react, a thick, wet patch of long black hair crawled out of the box, and a woman dressed in white with a bloodied face stared intently at the two of them!
"Ahhh!!" Ah Hai, who had just recovered, screamed and then rolled his eyes back and lost consciousness.
Zanri, forced to stare directly into Sadako's eyes, remained silent.
