Devil's Island, Don't Even Think of Shutting Them Out...
Just as Lan Fozi embarked on her search for the missing person, two uninvited guests were about to arrive on Devil's Island, on the other side of the sea.
From the air, the entire Devil's Island and its surrounding islands appear as a deep, dark expanse.
The island's terrain is extremely complex, with crisscrossing ravines and undulating terrain, featuring both steep, jagged rocks and deep, secluded forests leading to unknown destinations.
Although the island is covered with lush vegetation, the plants are all jet black, as if they have been tainted by some invisible force, giving off an indescribable eeriness.
Even the nearby seas are no exception.
Centered on Devil's Island, the seawater within a radius of 300 meters is a deep, bottomless black, like ink poured into the ocean, forming a stark and dazzling contrast with the surrounding azure sea.
From afar, the island, isolated in the Black Sea, resembles a colossal beast lurking in the Abyss, lying silently on the surface of the sea, exuding a chilling sense of oppression.
Once you cross more than 300 meters from Devil's Island, the seawater will return to its normal color.
In that normal sea area, countless ferocious Sea Soul Beasts roamed back and forth, some hiding under the waves, some poking out their ferocious heads, and some churning up snow-white waves. They all looked fierce and ready to pounce, as if this sea area was their territory.
Strangely, none of these ferocious Sea Soul Beasts dared to approach the black sea near Devil's Island, as if some terrifying power, instinctively frightening them, was hidden in that dark sea, and they dared not even get close.
However, the next second--
Two figures appeared on the beach of Devil's Island without warning.
It was Xiao Chen and Na'er.
At this moment, Na'er's arms were tightly wrapped around Xiao Chen's neck, and she was hanging on him like a koala. She was held firmly by Xiao Chen, and even though they had arrived at Devil's Island, she was reluctant to get down, as if she wanted to stay in his arms forever.
On the beach, the black sand was soft, yet it felt chillingly cold underfoot.
The distant mountains and dense forests were all a deep black, and even the sky seemed to be stained with this darkness, making it appear exceptionally gloomy and oppressive, as if the entire island was shrouded in an invisible shadow.
Seeing that she was clinging to him and wouldn't get off, Xiao Chen didn't bother to waste words with her. With a thought, he teleported her to the side.
Na'er, who was teleported to the side, was instantly bewildered, and it took her a while to come to her senses.
Immediately, she began to genuinely envy Xiao Chen's teleportation ability.
I wonder where Xiao Chen learned these skills from; they're just too useful.
Even Gu Yue probably couldn't teleport such a long distance.
Although Gu Yue's Spatial Transfer is also impressive, it's far from being able to carry a person across such a vast distance in one breath.
However, Na'er's feelings were quickly replaced by new emotions.
She looked around expectantly.
After going through so much trouble to get here, I can finally go on an adventure!
However, the expectation and enthusiasm in her eyes quickly vanished without a trace.
The entire island had a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere. The vegetation was all black, and the seawater was also black. Looking around, there was almost no vibrant color to be found. Even the beach underfoot had an unnatural grayish sheen, which really dampened any interest in exploration.
However, what puzzled Na'er was that although everything here was black, there wasn't an overly strong aura of dark elements.
Everything seemed normal, no different from a normal forest.
Why is it like this?
Not understanding, Na'er immediately asked Xiao Chen, "Brother? Why is everything here black? And the dark element isn't very strong?"
Xiao Chen replied calmly, "It has nothing to do with dark elements."
"It's related to what I'm looking for."
Na'er was immediately puzzled.
What treasure could possibly be in this desolate place that would make Xiao Chen make a special trip to find it?
Moreover, they even pulled her over.
Although she didn't object, they should have explained it to her before she left. She thought it was a tourist trip!
Xiao Chen, however, paid no attention to Na'er's thoughts and suddenly asked, "Can you still sense the elemental energy between heaven and earth now?"
Upon hearing this, Na'er was slightly taken aback, then closed her eyes and carefully sensed it.
At first, she didn't believe it and focused her mind on her body, trying to mobilize the primordial energy of heaven and earth. But no matter how she sensed it, the surroundings were completely silent, as if the omnipresent primordial energy of heaven and earth had completely disappeared here.
This realization startled her.
On this island, she couldn't sense even a trace of the energy of heaven and earth!
It was as if some kind of elemental stripping had occurred here; everything seemed normal, but the primordial energy of heaven and earth had vanished.
The absence of the elemental energy of heaven and earth means that it is impossible to absorb that energy to restore one's own Soul Power. If one stays here for too long, whether it is Soul Master or Soul Beast, their Soul Power will be exhausted sooner or later.
Na'er then realized the danger of the island. If the island did not have the power of heaven and earth, then the Life energy here must be pitifully thin.
In places devoid of Life energy, the Life force of living organisms will be continuously depleted due to the lack of replenishment.
There's nothing wrong in the short term, but if too much time passes, the creature will Life and become a dried-up corpse!
Thinking of this, Na'er's heart sank.
However, she wasn't worried about herself.
She is the other half of the Silver Dragon King, possessing three parts of the Silver Dragon King's essence, and therefore does not need the power of heaven and earth to replenish her Soul Power and Life energy.
But Xiao Chen is different.
As a human being, if he stays there for an extended period without receiving any nourishment, something bad is bound to happen to him!
After realizing the danger of the place, Na'er immediately picked up a fallen leaf on the ground to verify her guess. Sure enough, unlike the fallen leaves in the Douluo Continent, the fallen leaves on Devil's Island had no residual Life. The entire leaf was like carbonized, cold to the touch, as hard as iron, but without any trace of Life.
The guess was confirmed, and just as opportunely, a strong wind swept across Devil's Island, carrying black sand and accompanied by a soft, mournful sound.
Na'er raised her hand to tidy her wind-blown hair, but her gaze remained fixed on the figure in front of her, a gentle yet firm light shining in her eyes.
Although I don't know why Xiao Chen came to this place.
Fortunately, she came along.
Otherwise, her brother would probably really be lying on this island, turning into a dried-up corpse.
Hmph, let's see how she saves Xiao Chen!
