Fortunately, the distance from sea level was still very far, enough for Qian Er to react.
“Myriad Transformation Demon, catch them!”
The Myriad Transformation Demon instantly transformed into a Wind Riding Gryphon, catching several people onto its back one after another.
Bang!
Behind them, a huge splash of water erupted, instantly soaking Qian Er's clothes. He looked back and saw that at some point, a huge rock, one could say a meteorite, had crashed down.
Luckily, Frost Radiance Bone Dragon reacted quickly enough to dodge it, otherwise he might have been fine, but with Qiang Wu's mortal body, he would likely have been killed on the spot.
Too dangerous.
Sitting back on the Frost Radiance Bone Dragon's back, its speed was very fast, and it wouldn't take long to reach L City.
Qian Er also became more vigilant, having passed this way with near misses. He didn't want anything to go wrong at this time.
Next, Qian Er passed through a strait, and this peculiar terrain instantly put him on high alert. As expected, while passing through the strait, both sides unexpectedly collapsed towards them.
The Reincarnation Banner summoned countless ghost soldiers, forcibly building a safe area above their heads, allowing Qiang Wu to remain unharmed.
The shadow of the L City wharf finally appeared in sight. Although it was small, seeing it meant they were very close.
The unease in Qian Er's heart grew stronger. He couldn't help but look back at Qiang Wu, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Qiang Wu fall off the Frost Radiance Bone Dragon.
But quickly, he was brought back up by the Myriad Transformation Demon.
Looking at Qiang Wu's appearance, Qian Er's heart "thumped." He reached out to check his breath.
Sure enough, he was already dead.
The Nightmare Mirage Flower's voice came from above: "He just died, very inexplicably. There were no abnormalities in the dream, but he was extinguished in an instant."
Qian Er carefully examined Qiang Wu's body. There wasn't a single mark. He died inexplicably, died unclearly, and became a corpse.
His body was even still a little warm, proving that he had just died a moment ago.
“Return to that island.”
Qian Er sighed, watching Qiang Wu's body fall into the sea.
Unlike the near misses on the way there, this trip could be said to be smooth sailing, and they quickly returned to that familiar island.
Recalling what had happened along the way, Qian Er sat down in a spot on the island.
Before long, a familiar voice came from his ear.
“Captain, why don't we go back? I heard this island is very evil.”
“Don't come if you're a coward.”
Footsteps gradually approached, and Qiang Wu and the others stopped opposite Qian Er.
Qian Er looked at Qiang Wu and the group behind him.
Too strange, there must be something wrong with these people, especially Qiang Wu.
“Is that the Town Heavenly King?!”
Fatty whispered, and the others' expressions changed.
Everything, everything, was no different from before.
“Stop.” Qian Er interrupted the conversation.
“Don't move, or I'll kill whoever moves.”
After Qian Er finished speaking, the Frost Radiance Bone Dragon let out a long roar, and the dragon's might crushed the ground a bit.
The others stood in place fearfully, without saying a word.
They couldn't be sure if the person in front of them was the Town Heavenly King, but they could be sure that this person could easily take their lives.
Because they could see almost nothing about the information of that giant bone dragon, which represented a level far higher than theirs.
“What secrets do you have on you? Hehe…”
Qian Er said as he walked forward, carefully scrutinizing these people, from head to toe.
He circled around these people a few times, but they looked like ordinary adventurers.
His behavior obviously frightened Qiang Wu and the others. They were even more nervous now. They could be sure that this person was definitely not the Town Heavenly King, because he was like a lunatic!
Who would look at others like that?!
Qian Er looked for a while and shook his head: “You guys are hiding really deep…”
Just when everyone thought Qian Er was going to let them go, Qian Er clapped his hands, and the Blood Burning Saint walked out from behind him.
“Summon your pet beasts and let me see them. You can choose to hide them, but if I find them, I'll kill you.”
Qian Er smiled, but these people obviously didn't think he was joking, and obediently summoned their pet beasts.
Two-legged Elephant, Dull-headed Duck, Lantern Frog…
Qian Er looked at them one by one. They were all pet beasts with serious shortcomings that few people would contract with. Only the Two-legged Elephant was a popular configuration for adventure teams.
Qian Er observed for a while, but still didn't find any abnormalities. He returned to his original position and looked at the Flame Burning Saint.
“No abnormalities.”
The Flame Burning Saint nodded to Qian Er.
Even the Blood Burning Saint's Insight couldn't see any abnormalities…
“Could it be that I really misunderstood? The key to the problem isn't these people? That shouldn't be.”
Qian Er looked at Qiang Wu and smiled: “I'm really sorry, it seems I misunderstood you. Just cooperate with me to complete the last procedure, and that's it.”
Then, through the pet beast contract, he said: “Reincarnation Banner, take a look at their soul memories.”
The Reincarnation Banner flew in front of the people and absorbed their souls. These people instantly fell to the ground.
These people's memories weren't infinitely looping like on the island, but progressed little by little from their birth.
But it was obviously wrong, because they should never have heard the name of the Town Heavenly King. No record of this could be found in their memories.
It was another completely unexplainable situation. Qian Er watched them seize spoils of war again and again, and suddenly thought of something. Before he finished watching these people's memories, he withdrew from them.
After a while, the familiar dialogue and the familiar people appeared opposite Qian Er again.
“Don't move, or you will die miserably.”
After Qian Er said this, the Blood Burning Saint went up and began to rummage through these people's belongings.
At Qian Er's instruction, the items on these people, large and small, were quickly turned out.
Qian Er looked at the scattered items on the ground, among which were many Myriad Race materials.
Just like what Qiang Wu said at the beginning, these should be the spoils they found on an island, and everyone had a share.
Qian Er picked up these things one by one. Most of them were very trivial little things, and they couldn't easily carry the big ones with them.
After looking through these Myriad Race materials, Qian Er's gaze finally stopped on a material shaped like a human toe bone.
Although the shape was very similar to a human toe bone, the size was much smaller than a normal human toe bone, even smaller than an infant's toe bone.
This thing was a bit familiar. If he remembered correctly, Qiang Wu had such a small toe bone on him at the beginning.
When Qian Er picked it up, he felt an extremely strong unease, more intense than ever before.
He felt that his luck was rapidly draining away.
