As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food.
Every year, wanted criminals who have committed murders all over the world hope to enter the mysterious island in order to win money in the competition building and obtain permanent residence on the island.
It can be said that the Arena gathers the most vicious criminals in the world, so the people who die in the building every year nourish a large flower garden on the beach, and the blood washed away is enough to feed a group of murderous sharks.
The top-floor cinema is open to all but the island's VIPs.
When the group arrived at the Arena on the east side of the coast, the display screen outside the tall building that rose from the ground into the sky was broadcasting the current combat power rankings. A quick glance revealed the faces of several internationally wanted criminals and some of the world's top fighting masters.
As soon as Ye Lan led Xiao Douya out of the car, he saw the Huang family wandering around the corner from the Doudou Building.
The people over there also saw her, and after a moment of surprise, they quickly shifted their gaze, obviously not wanting to be discovered about their purpose of travel.
Ye Lan ignored them and walked straight towards the entrance of the building.
"Hey, Ye Lan!"
Suddenly, someone called her name from behind, followed by the sound of anxious footsteps running up. A moment later, Huang Yao stopped in front of her, staring at her with a burning gaze and asked, "Are you going to the top floor too?"
Ye Lan was stopped, but he didn't push her away. He just watched quietly to see what she wanted to say.
here we go again.
It's that feeling of being silently controlled again.
Huang Yao pursed his lips in frustration, but finally spoke the truth softly, "We are here to pick someone up. Ten years ago, our young master was sent to the Immortal Mountain to be a medicine man. We agreed to come back and replace him ten years later. Now that something has happened in the clan, we need the young master to return and take charge of the situation. But we can't find him now."
Compared to his brothers, Huang Yao had been taught a lesson in the Adventure House, and he was also clear about Ye Lan's abilities. Now that the other party was holding the Piranha Plant and appeared in the Arena with them, it was clear who the target was.
And now it is obvious that they need help.
"Take us up, Ye Lan. We just want to take the young master back. We will never compete with you for anything else." After experiencing the failure in the last auction, Huang Yao had completely admitted defeat. Although his pride made him not good at bowing his head, he tried to lower his tone.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lan finally understood how the pharmacist clan inherited the medical skills of Xianshan, and was not surprised by his master's methods.
Even he, the legitimate patriarch of the Xuan Sect, almost died in the fairy mountain, let alone a mere branch.
Moreover, the medicine man...
She thought for a moment, then nodded slightly in agreement to the other party's request, "Well, I'll take you in."
"Really?!" Huang Yao was overjoyed and hurried back to his brothers and pulled them over.
The Huang brothers did not have a good impression of Ye Lan. One reason was that she had snatched away the carnivorous plant they wanted at the auction, and the other was that she had bullied their little princess Huang Yao.
"Yaoyao, if they can go up, we naturally have a way to go up too. There's no need to beg her." The eldest brother of the Huang family pulled his younger sister. He couldn't bear to see her being so humble and wanted to prove his own strength.
"Brother, we have been waiting downstairs for a long time. If there was a way, we could have gone in earlier, right?" Huang Yao was rude to his elder brother and turned around to expose his shortcomings.
Huang's eldest brother: "..."
The brothers behind felt even more ashamed and could not speak.
Seeing that Ye Lan and his group had already entered the gate and were walking towards the elevator in a mighty manner, Huang Yao hurriedly pulled his brothers to follow.
In the first-floor lobby, apart from a huge light screen introducing the competition situation on each floor and the types of arenas, there is only a simulated person at the front desk recording the entry and exit.
Under the light curtain is a long passage with ten elevators on each side, ranging from low to high. The further you go in, the higher the floors you can unlock, and you can win higher bonuses and permissions.
Ye Lan, Xiao Yunting and his group walked straight towards the last VIP elevator.
Huang Yao ran up from behind to explain, looking at the exclusive elevator, which was different from the others, even with a door made of gold. "We've tried everything. No matter what method we use, this place can only be opened with a VIP name tag. However, there are no more than five people with VIP name tags on Mysterious Island, and each of them is surrounded by a well-trained guard. The rest areas are scattered in various corners of Mysterious Island with separate villas. How do you plan to get in?"
She thought the girl was relying on her numbers to break through violently, and wanted to persuade her to give up and find a solution together. However, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw the young man in a suit and tie beside her step forward to the elevator entrance and press the button.
The button flashed a red light, and the latest technology scanner started running, confirming the man from head to toe.
Then there was a ding-dong sound, and the elevator door... opened?!
"Let's go." The man turned around, and although his low, magnetic voice was emotionless, a hint of softness could be heard.
"Yeah." Ye Lan responded lightly, stepped into the door, and stood side by side with him.
Huang Yao looked back in a daze, and only then did he recognize the clothes worn by the overly young man. It was Xiao Yunting, who was sitting in the first row at today's auction!
Her head was buzzing for a moment, and she was dragged into the elevator by her brothers in a daze before she came to her senses.
A pleasant, cool woody fragrance wafted from the front. She looked up vaguely and saw the tall figure of the man with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, half-turned sideways, guarding the girl intentionally or unintentionally in a protective manner. Occasionally, when he lowered his eyes and whispered to the girl, the light from above fell on that half of his angular profile, which was surprisingly handsome, as if not of an ordinary person.
The two of them standing together seemed to have a natural barrier to everything around them. It would not be an exaggeration to call them a golden boy and a jade girl.
This is neither a lover nor a plaything.
When Xiao Yunting looked at Ye Lan, it was clear that he was looking at his sweetheart!
This realization made Huang Yao feel sour in his heart, and he felt like he was soaked in lemon water.
Xiao Yunting, one of the few VIPs on the mysterious island and the world-renowned chairman of the Xiao Group, escorted the girl to the top floor himself with an excellent security team.
Two minutes later, we arrived at the top floor of 188.
Ding Dong.
The elevator door opened again, and the scene outside was completely different.
The hall is also spacious, but its decoration is as luxurious as the royal family in ancient Europe and the Middle Ages. Even the carpet under the feet is soft and beautiful, and it looks very expensive. There are countless luminous pearls inlaid around it for lighting, making the light inside soft and not glaring.
At this time, the three walls were cut into countless LCD high-definition monitors, on which a fighting match was being broadcast. The contestants' fierce confrontation was accompanied by the shouts of the audience, and the battle was exciting.
In the distance, there seemed to be a row of chairs in the hazy viewing area, and there seemed to be a figure in the shadows.
As a VIP, Xiao Yunting pressed the button first and led everyone out.
Walking into the area where light and shadow interweave, the huge team should quickly attract the attention of the viewing area.
But the strange thing was that until they passed through the light curtain, there was no movement on the other side.
However, Ye Lan felt that the little bean sprout beside him was getting closer, and he even unconsciously stretched out his little hand to grab the corner of his clothes. Every subtle movement showed that he was afraid.
