Chapter 54: The Heaven and Earth Are Murderous
"What's going on?"
With horror in his mind, Li Fan's water mirror technique shattered.
My mind was buzzing and I was in a state of confusion for a while.
After a while, Li Fan slowly regained his composure.
"Could it be that there is something wrong with this Thousand Machines Jade Golden Seal?"
His first reaction was that there was something wrong with this technique.
The so-called "distinguishing opportunities" may no longer be applicable in the world of immortal cultivation after the great changes in heaven and earth.
After all, Li Fan is currently in the island protection formation of Tai'an Island.
Tai'an Island is located in the central area of Congyun Sea, which is within the influence of the Wanxian League.
Everything had been safe and sound before, how could it be possible that a disaster would happen just because of a period of seclusion?
However, sensing the thick aura of death around him, Li Fan couldn't convince himself so easily.
The uneasiness in my heart gradually became stronger.
Li Fan made a prompt decision and went to Wanxian Island to avoid disaster, regardless of whether it was true or false.
So he immediately planned to open the teleportation array and go to Wanxian Island.
But what made him feel depressed was that the teleportation array did not respond at all!
Li Fan looked a little gloomy.
He took out the communication talisman that He Zhenghao gave him and tried to contact He Zhenghao.
There is still no response after inputting spiritual energy!
It was already very clear that something strange had indeed happened.
Staying on Tai'an Island is a dead end. We can't just sit there and wait for death!
Li Fan summoned Tai Yan Zhou, took out the "Cong Yun Hai Tu Zhi", and prepared to drive the flying boat over himself.
The spiritual stones that were originally used as the power of Tai Yanzhou were almost used up. Fortunately, when Li Fan went on a shopping spree before, he bought the "Essential Set for Solo Monks" which came with a lot of spiritual stones.
Li Fan estimated that it would take about two or three months to fly from Tai'an Island to Wanxian Island.
There are definitely enough spirit stones.
At that moment, Li Fan no longer cared about the task of guarding the island. He directly drove the flying boat and prepared to leave.
Just when Tai Yanzhou was about to fly out of the island protection formation, Li Fan suddenly sensed endless murderous intent from the outside world.
It is like thousands of sharp swords, spreading across the heaven and earth.
Li Fan's heart stopped suddenly, and Tai Yanzhou stopped immediately.
His premonition told him that as long as he left the island protection formation, he would surely die!
Li Fan squinted his eyes and looked at the calm sea, not knowing where the crisis came from.
In the end, Li Fan chose not to take the risk.
He put away the Tai Yan Zhou and prepared to ask the mortals on the island what had happened recently.
And after his spiritual sense swept across the entire island, he was shocked again.
It turned out that one third of the island’s population had been reduced.
And for some reason the rest all looked pale and thin, as if they had not eaten for a long time.
Knowing that something extraordinary must have happened during his retreat, Li Fan looked gloomy and flew to the residence of the island owner of Tai'an Island.
Since taking over as the acting guard, Li Fan has been in seclusion and has not paid much attention to the mundane affairs on the island.
I have only met this island owner a few times.
When the island owner saw Li Fan, he knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and wailed.
"Master, please have mercy on us! Master, please have mercy on us! "
The island owner cried so hard that his head was about to bleed.
"Tell us quickly what happened and what happened!" Li Fan's face was extremely gloomy.
"Master, we can't live like this any longer. It hasn't rained for more than half a year, and the fresh water and food on the island have been almost used up. If this continues, we will all starve to death!" The island owner said while kowtowing and crying.
"It hasn't rained for half a year?" Li Fan remembered what Zhang Haobo said to him a few years ago.
"The drought is coming again. But why did I ask the Profound Heaven Mirror before and got the answer that no major changes would happen? Could it be that a drought of this scale is not taken seriously by the Profound Heaven Mirror?"
The island owner continued to cry out, "All the fish near the coast have been caught. The weather is too hot. No one from the fishing fleet out to sea has come back alive. We are really starving to death! Master, please have mercy on us and save us!"
Li Fan was annoyed by the man's shouting, and when he saw that the man had become a little thinner, but still had fat on his body, he was furious and said, "Half of the mortals on the island starved to death, why haven't you lost weight yet?"
The island owner turned pale and was about to explain.
However, after Li Fan scanned the kitchen in the island owner's mansion with his spiritual sense, he became extremely angry.
Without waiting for the island owner to say anything, he slapped him into a pulp.
"He deserves to die for doing nothing!"
Li Fan snorted coldly and used the power of the formation to transmit the message to the entire island.
"I have shot the island owner dead. The rest of the people in charge should come to the island owner's mansion to see me!"
A moment later, several mortals came to Li Fan tremblingly.
Seeing that they also looked hungry, Li Fan suppressed his murderous intent.
As these people cried and complained, Li Fan finally understood what had happened during his year of seclusion.
The drought started half a year ago.
At first, it hadn’t rained for many days and no one took it seriously.
It wasn't until it didn't rain for two months that the people on the island started to panic.
There is a source of fresh water on the island, but it has gradually dried up as it has not rained for many days.
At first, they could still survive by catching fish near the coast, but as the weather got hotter, no more fish could be caught around the island, and all the fleets that went out never returned, so Tai'an Island fell into famine.
In just one month, one-third of the island's population died. No one knows how many tragedies occurred.
The rest are just surviving.
If Li Fan came out later, he might not even see a few living people.
Things have come to this point, Li Fan can no longer stand by and watch someone die.
When he left Daxuan, the Taiyan boat had only a few cabins filled with gold, silver and treasures, and the rest were filled with food.
Originally, he had prepared it just out of his cautious habit of exploring the unknown world of immortal cultivation.
I didn't expect that it would finally come in handy after almost ten years.
There is a dust-purifying array inside the Taiyan Boat, so the food will naturally not deteriorate.
Li Fan immediately expanded the Tai Yan Boat to its maximum size and ordered the mortals on the island to move out some of the food for emergency use.
When the people on the island saw that the immortal master had brought life-saving food, they all excitedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.
Li Fan ignored them and let them cheer.
If the food in the Taiyan Boat is eaten sparingly, it should be enough for the people on the island to survive for a few months.
The most important thing is to solve the problem of fresh water.
With water, we can live.
Li Fan came to the main source of fresh water on the island, a medium-sized lake in the center of the island.
There are already special guards around the lake to prevent ordinary people from getting close.
Because it hasn't rained for a long time, the lake has shrunk greatly, leaving only one-tenth of its original size, and is about to dry up completely.
"When we first built the island protection formation, we never thought we would run into a water shortage..."
Holding the Tai'an Island garrison order in hand, Li Fan shook his head helplessly.
"It seems that I still need to build a magic circle to purify the sea water."
