It was getting dark outside, and Long Yi made a simple torch using local materials.
"Miss Ling, there will definitely be more dangers in the primeval forest at night. You'd better stay close to me."
Ling Bingqian nodded obediently. Now that her strength was sealed by the curse on Kezan Island, Long Yi had become the backbone of the team.
Long Yi came to another entrance of the goblin tribe. With the help of the firelight, he discovered a vermilion mural on the wall.
The mural depicts a man with a bow and arrow. His upper body is naked, revealing his muscular build.
The arrow on the bow emits a sharp cold light, giving people a feeling of invincibility.
Although the mural was only roughly outlined with simple lines, it seemed to have magical power that attracted Long Yi's attention.
Long Yi stopped and stared at the mural in a trance.
Ling Bingqian asked with concern: "Long Yi, is there something wrong with this mural?"
Long Yi took a deep breath to calm himself down and said, "Think about it, why are there human figures on the murals of the goblin tribe?"
He then asked Thrall, "Was this mural painted by your goblin tribe?"
Thrall shook his head. "No, in fact, this cave was not built by our goblin tribe. This mural existed before we moved here."
Long Yi's heart was filled with shock and he continued to raise the torch and move closer to the wall.
There are actually nine suns in the upper right corner of the mural, and the target of the bow and arrow is the sun in the upper right corner of the mural.
"Sunset Divine Bow?" Long Yi exclaimed.
According to legend, the Sunset Bow was Houyi's weapon in ancient times. How come we can see a mural of Houyi shooting down the sun on this isolated island?
As the head of Lingxiao Pavilion, Ling Bingqian had naturally heard of this legendary divine bow.
She asked in surprise, "You mean, maybe the thousand-year-old Sunset Divine Bow is hidden on this island?"
Long Yi nodded and said, "Don't leave in a hurry. Perhaps there are great opportunities waiting for us on this island."
After saying that, he retreated to the room of the chief of the goblin tribe. The chief had been unconscious in bed for many days and was stretching his muscles.
Seeing Long Yi coming back, the clan leader was surprised and asked, "Mr. Long, didn't you leave?"
"I want to ask you something. How much do you know about the mural at the exit of the goblin tribe?"
The patriarch lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying:
"Normally, there's nothing unusual about the mural, but whenever the spirit bead you took gets close to it, complex patterns will appear on it."
Long Yi was delighted and quickly took the wooden spirit bead from his pocket.
If it is true as the clan leader said, then the complicated patterns emerging on the wooden spirit bead are most likely the clue to finding the Sunset Divine Bow.
Long Yi walked quickly to the mural and approached it with the Wood Spirit Pearl in his hand.
Sure enough, the Wood Spirit Pearl emitted a strange light, and a soft white luster filled the dim and cramped space.
A strange light flashed in Ling Bingqian's beautiful eyes. She pointed at the pattern that appeared on the Wood Spirit Pearl and said:
"Isn't this...this route the same as the one we took here?"
Long Yi took a closer look and found that the pattern on Ling Bingqian's finger was exactly the same as the route he took to land on the island and enter the goblin tribe.
"It seems that the patterns on it are not random, but a map of Kezan Island."
Long Yi bent down and placed the Wood Spirit Pearl in front of Sal, and asked, "Sal, you are quite familiar with Kezan Island. Let me see if my speculation is correct."
Thrall turned the Wood Spirit Pearl over and over, and then concluded, "Mr. Long, as you speculated, these patterns are the route map of Kezan Island.
We are now at the intersection of these two lines.”
Long Yi suppressed his inner excitement and said seriously, "If we can figure out the location of the Sunset Divine Bow, we can set off tonight."
Everyone carefully looked at the patterns on the wooden spirit bead, but after more than ten minutes they still couldn't figure out what it was.
Although these lines are a geographical map of Kezan Island, that's all there is to it. Apart from that, there's nothing special about them.
The knowledge about Feng Shui flashed through Long Yi's mind, and he tried to decipher the special features of these lines.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and a sentence from the Feng Shui classic "Han Long Jing" came to his mind.
"When searching for a dragon, one must look for winding mountains. Each winding mountain is a barrier. If a gate has a thousand locks, a king must be living there!"
After Long Yi finished speaking, he suddenly understood and pointed to the densely textured area on the Wood Spirit Pearl and said:
"Entwined mountains are relative to dragon veins. There must be many other mountains surrounding the dragon veins. These mountains are the entwined mountains."
Ling Bingqian was also enlightened by Long Yi's words at this time: "There are many mountain ranges here, so the S-shaped mountain range in the center is the dragon vein."
Long Yi nodded slightly. Whether judging from the thickness of the lines or the shape of the mountains on both sides, this S-shaped mountain range is a dragon vein.
"Sal, have you ever been to the mountains along these lines?"
Thrall shook his head and said solemnly, "Many warriors in the tribe went out on adventures before.
The warriors who went in other directions generally returned safely, but the warriors who went in this direction disappeared without a trace. Later, this area was designated as a forbidden area by the clan leader."
Long Yi made up his mind and said through gritted teeth: "Since this is a forbidden area, you don't need to follow me. I will go alone!"
Ling Bingqian quickly said, "Impossible, how can I let you go alone?"
Long Yi looked at her leisurely and teased, "Why? Miss Ling is so worried about me?"
"No... no, I'm just worried that if something happens to you, no one will cooperate with me at Lingxiao Pavilion. I have no reason to let an alchemy genius like you go!"
Long Yi couldn't help laughing, and actually thought that Ling Bingqian's efforts to explain were a little cute.
He smiled and said, "If you want to follow me, then go ahead. But let me be frank, I may not be able to spare a hand to protect you."
Ling Bingqian said stubbornly: "Who needs your protection? I want to have a share of the good things in the mountains when the time comes!"
Long Yi looked at Sal and said, "We are not familiar with Kezan Island. Would you be willing to be my guide?"
Sal nodded firmly. The chief's illness was cured by Long Yi. He was not a coward, so he had no reason to refuse Long Yi's request.
Long Yi said, "Then Miss Ling and Sal will follow me later, and the other goblins don't need to follow."
After Thrall conveyed Long Yi's words to the other goblins, the three of them headed towards the dragon vein under the moonlight.
The three of them walked for more than two hours. Along the way, Long Yi killed many wild beasts, but did not encounter any major crises.
Ling Bingqian clutched her chest and panted, "How long will it take to reach this dragon vein? I feel like I've already walked dozens of kilometers."
Long Yi was moving forward at an extremely fast speed. Ling Bingqian could only run all the way without the bonus of true energy, and her physical strength had already been overdrawn.
