Chapter 2343

Island of Bones

The moment Zhuowen finished off the gatekeeper, everyone behind him fell into a daze.

After a long while, one of them said as if he was sleep-talking, "The gatekeeper has been taken care of. Can we go to the third island?"

"We won. We can leave this place!"

"Let's go!

Let's hurry to the third island. Who knows, there might be something good there! "

"…"

The cheers were endless. Then, the cultivators rushed to the other side of the platform.

Many of the cultivators turned a blind eye to Zhuowen when they passed by him. They didn't even say a word of thanks.

Yao Xiangjun, Tang Ruqing, and Xiao Lang couldn't stand it anymore and scolded the cultivators.

Unfortunately, no one listened to their scolding. They all rushed to the end of the platform like crazy. It was as if they would miss some treasure if they were late.

Soon, only Yao Xiangjun, Tang Ruqing, Xiao Lang, Xiao Yin, and Xiao Fu were left on the platform, along with Zhuowen, who was sitting cross-legged and recuperating.

"These people are too hateful. If it wasn't for Brother Zhuo, how could they have passed the third checkpoint? They didn't even say a word of thanks," Tang Ruqing said with extreme displeasure.

Xiao Lang, Xiao Yin, and Xiao Fu were also filled with righteous indignation. Among them, Xiao Lang said, "If I had known, Brother Zhuo wouldn't have killed the gatekeeper. He could have left by himself!"

"Zhuowen wouldn't do that. I know his character. The reason he killed the gatekeeper wasn't for everyone on the island. He did it for his friends, which is you!" Yao Xiangjun sighed.

Hearing this, Tang Ruqing, Xiao Lang, and Xiao Lang came to a realization. Then, they looked at Zhuowen with eyes full of gratitude.

After Yao Xiangjun's explanation, they finally understood that Zhuowen had stayed behind to kill the gatekeeper for them and not for those ungrateful people.

"Miss Yao, you seem to know Brother Zhuo very well. Could it be that you are his partner?" Tang Ruqing suddenly said in a teasing tone.

Xiao Lang and his two brothers also looked at Yao Xiangjun meaningfully.

Whether it was Tang Ruqing, Xiao Lang, or the other two, they all deeply felt Yao Xiangjun's peerless beauty.

As the saying went, a beauty matched a hero. In their eyes, Zhuo Wen and Yao Xiangjun were a match made in heaven.

Yao Xiangjun was first stunned, and then her pretty face flushed red as she said, "You've misunderstood. I'm not Brother Zhuo's Dao Companion, I'm only his … friend."

"I see!

I was rude. Miss Yao, please don't take offense! "Tang Ruqing said with a red face.

For a moment, the five of them fell into silence.

However, the silence between the five was quickly broken by Zhuowen.

With a wave of his sleeve, Zhuowen withdrew the restrictions around him and slowly stood up.

"Brother Zhuo, are you alright?

Your space-time divine ability is very powerful, but the burden on you is not small, right? "

Xiao Lang came before Zhuowen and asked with concern.

Xiao Lang had guessed that Zhuowen would be extremely weak after using the Waning Sun of the Sea several times. He would need to recover on the spot.

"Yes, you don't have to worry about this. Let's go to the third island!"

After Zhuowen finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the other side of the platform. Xiao Lang and the others quickly followed.

However, Yao Xiangjun gritted her teeth. She saw that Zhuowen still did not take the initiative to talk to her, which made her a little annoyed.

However, when she remembered that she was now a woman, she also knew that she did not have much interaction with Zhuowen. Even if she faced Zhuowen, she seemed to have nothing to say.

On the other side of the platform, there was a flight of stairs leading down.

The six of them walked for two hours and finally arrived at the end of the stairs.

It was still an island, but it was not an ordinary island. It was an island piled with piles of bones.

If one looked carefully, the base of the island was actually the skeleton of a huge beast floating on the sea.

At a glance, the bones on the island were of humans, beasts, and even unknown species. At least, just by looking at the bones alone, Zhuowen could not help but wonder what species it was.

"Is this the third island?

What does this island have to do with the exit? "Tang Ruqing frowned slightly.

Zhuowen was also quite puzzled. He immediately turned to look at Yao Xiangjun and said, "Miss Yao, do you know anything about this place?"

The reason why Zhuowen asked Yao Xiangjun was mainly because Yao Xiangjun came from the Six Desires Palace. She must have investigated this place in advance.

Unexpectedly, Yao Xiangjun shook her head blankly and said with a wry smile, "I entered the Spacetime Quicksand River mainly for the Spacetime Core. It was also the first time I knew that there was something like the Spacetime Key here, so …"

Zhuowen nodded. It seemed that Yao Xiangjun did not know how to obtain the Spacetime Key here.

"I wonder where Ancestor Lu and those who entered this island before are now?" Xiao Lang suddenly asked.

Zhuo Wen's eyes flickered as his Divine Sense suddenly shot out. However, at the instant his Divine Sense shot out, a terrifying roar that shook the heavens and the earth resounded in his mind.

This roar carried an astonishing tearing force. His Sea of Consciousness almost collapsed under this roar.

Zhuowen took a deep breath and hurriedly withdrew his Divine Sense. His face was pale and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Zhuowen's abnormal state immediately attracted the attention of Yao Xiangjun and the others.

"Brother Zhuo, what's the matter?" Yao Xiangjun asked nervously.

Zhuowen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. He said, "I just extended my Divine Sense to explore this island, but it was obstructed."

"This island is completely different from the previous two islands. I feel that this island is filled with a violent aura. We must be careful," Yao Xiangjun said solemnly.

Tang Ruqing and the others also nodded. Not only Yao Xiangjun, but they also felt that something was wrong with this island.

As for what exactly was wrong, they could not tell.

"Let's go!

Let's go to the center of the island! "Zhuowen said.

The others nodded without any objections and followed Zhuowen.

They knew that Zhuowen's purpose for going to the center of the island should be for the reward of the third level.

There was still a stone pillar in the center of the island, but this stone pillar was somewhat different from the previous two islands. This stone pillar was made of bones mixed with stone.

The moment they arrived at the center of the island, the six of them stopped and looked at the scene in the center of the island.

Around the bone pillar in the center of the island, there were corpses that had not yet turned cold.

Zhuowen looked carefully and found that these corpses were all the cultivators that followed from the second island. Zhuowen even saw an acquaintance among these corpses.

And this acquaintance was none other than the slightly fat cultivator.

The slightly fat cultivator lay not far from the bone pillar, his eyes full of fear.

On the chest of the slightly fat cultivator, a fist-sized wound had exploded. At this moment, the wound was still bleeding strangely.

The other people's deaths were not much different from this slightly fat cultivator. Basically, their chests were opened with fist-sized wounds, and the wounds were bleeding black blood.
