Little moon tide

Five days later, in the evening.

The sun sets in the west.

The rays of light in the sky shine on the vast East China Sea, reflecting the blue sea waves and billowing clouds into brilliant gold. The Phuket Islands are like a few quiet pebbles scattered in the East China Sea, bathed in this glow.

On an uninhabited desert island in the Buji Islands, Ye Fan sat on a rock, meditated with his eyes closed, and practiced silently. He refined a ball of animal blood he had absorbed into a drop of blood essence, and absorbed it into his third body. The River of Two Bloodlines.

The mammoth Big Gray was lying lazily at his feet, eating more than a dozen grilled sea fish and enjoying today's dinner.

After completing the exercise, Ye Fan took a deep breath, stopped the exercise, and opened a pair of calm eyes. A light flashed deep in his eyes and disappeared in a flash.

"It's already evening. Today is the full moon night on the 15th day of every month. It's time to go back! Big Hui, please go back to the beast ring to rest first."

Ye Fan counted the time, glanced at the sky in the distance, stood up suddenly, and put the mammoth ash into the beast ring.

Then, he flew towards the raft on the coast of the desert island.

He stayed on several uninhabited desert islands around Blue Water Sand Island for five days, searching for the Beast Lord in the sea and practicing the "Blood Saint Technique".

Although the time is short, the benefits are huge.

In fact, since he was promoted to Martial Lord, his cultivation level has almost stagnated.

The practice in the past few days has far exceeded the one or two months since he was promoted to Martial Lord.

It was already the fifth day since he came out. He had to return to the mine village on Blue Water Sand Island before nightfall and enter a safer mine tunnel with everyone else.

After all, this is his first month at sea. He heard that every tide is very dangerous, and he doesn't want to risk staying outside easily. If you stay on the island for a long time in the future, you will still have the opportunity to see the tide of beasts, so don't rush it for a while.

...

Ye Fan paddled the raft back to Blue Water Sand Island.

On the island, the tide has begun to rise, and the tide is coming towards the island in waves.

He dragged the raft to a high point on the shore, then climbed halfway up the mountain and entered the mine.

At this time, nearly two hundred warrior miners in the mine village came out to get some fresh air. After finishing their dinner in the mine village, they did not stay any longer and returned to the mine tunnel one by one.

The mine village built with wooden walls is too crude and cannot stop the impact of the beast-level sea beasts.

Including Lu Guang, Shou Zhi, Pang Dun and other three martial arts masters, all the supervisors and guards also entered the mine tunnel together, and no one stayed in the stockade.

Ye Fan naturally went in together.

This is the first time he has entered this mine tunnel since he came to the Bluewater Sand Mine Island. The mine tunnel was about several feet high and wide. The damp and moldy smell coming from the mine tunnel made him frown slightly.

Before dark, when everyone entered the mine tunnel, Lu Guang and the three martial arts masters worked together to move several large rocks weighing thousands of kilograms to block the outermost entrance of the mine tunnel.

This is obviously not safe enough.

Ten feet into the mine tunnel, there is a heavy iron gate.

Then, Lu Guang turned a mechanism disk on the inner stone wall, driving a large iron chain thicker than his arm, and slammed the iron gate down with a heavy crunch, completely isolating the mine tunnel from the outside world, and no trace of the outside could be seen. light.

On the wall of the mine tunnel, there is an oil lamp with a faint light every five feet, illuminating the long and deep mine tunnel. Fortunately, everyone is a warrior and a warrior, so their eyesight is not bad, and the dim lighting does not hinder much.

Ye Fan looked at these silently.

The entire mining village obviously attaches great importance to the tidal beast tide on the night of the full moon, almost treating it as a life and death situation.

...

Almost all the warriors, supervisors and miners were sitting or sleeping along this mine tunnel.

Almost all the new miners were nervous, talking in low voices and unable to sleep. But the old miners almost all fell asleep. They often experienced the tides on full moon nights in the middle of each month and had long been accustomed to it.

Ye Fan stayed close to the iron gate of the mine tunnel, sitting cross-legged. He glanced deep into the mine tunnel. He didn't know how deep it was dug, and he couldn't see the end at a glance.

He knew that the three Martial Lords on the island did not want him to interfere in the affairs of the mine, so he remained indifferent to the situation here, lest the three of them would be suspicious of him.

Lu Guang and the other three martial masters were also sitting against the wall near the iron gate of the mine tunnel.

In this position, once a beast master tries to attack the mine tunnel and break the iron gate, they can stop it at the front in time to prevent the miners from being massacred.

Gradually, the night deepens.

"Ouch!"

The roars and fighting sounds of various sea beasts were vaguely heard outside, and it seemed that many sea beasts had landed on the island.

Ye Fan listened carefully to identify their number and grade strength, and said to Lu Guang: "Brother Lu, how many beast masters are there on the island on a full moon and tidal night?"

"This is an island hundreds or thousands of miles away from Donglai County. It is the territory of the sea beast clan. There are many sea beasts around. Every time the moon is full, they go to the island to compete for the most advantageous position so that they can absorb the moonlight. Like today At this late hour, the sound of fighting outside was so intensive that at least a dozen beasts were on our island. There are nearly a hundred small islands in the entire Buji Islands, and there are probably no less than hundreds or thousands of beasts outside. So the number of beasts outside was so intense. There is no way to stay in the mine village, you have to hide in the mine tunnel. If you are unlucky and encounter a sea beast of the beast lord level, you can't even stay in the mine tunnel in the heart of the mountain. The iron gate will be broken as soon as you hit it, and no one will be left. I want to escape alive."

Lu Guang chuckled and looked at Ye Fan's face as he spoke. I want to see Ye Fan's expression change and panic when he hears this.

Unfortunately, to his disappointment, Ye Fan looked unmoved.

How could Ye Fan be frightened so easily.

If there really were sea beasts at the level of Beast Lords, Lu Guang and his three martial masters would have run away long ago, and they would not be willing to stay on the island. Veteran warriors like them cherish their lives the most. They will not fight hard if they can, and will never stay to seek death.

Ye Fan was thinking about what Lu Guang said about a dozen beast masters coming to the island. Such a large number of beast masters made him very excited. It's a pity that with his current strength at the first level of the Martial Lord Stage, he can't deal with such a large number of Beast Lords at the same time.

Seeing that Ye Fan had no reaction, Lu Guang couldn't help but be disappointed, and continued: "Of course! The Beast Lords are not interested in small islands like ours. They will only go to the big islands to grab the moonlight. They are not interested in small islands like ours like the Buji Islands." The group is not interested. Tonight's kind is actually just a small tide, nothing. If it happens on the annual full moon night of Mid-Autumn Festival in August, it is the biggest tide every year, and the entire sea will be unsafe. We all We can only retreat to Donglai City, and wait until the beast tide has completely subsided in a few days before we can come back and start work again."

 "I see!"

Ye Fan nodded silently.

"Boom!"

The two of them were chatting when suddenly, there was a huge noise from the mountain wall, as if the rock had been hit.

"What's the sound? The beast master is crashing against the boulder at the entrance of the cave?"

Lu Guang's expression suddenly changed, he jumped up, raised his ears against the large iron gate of the mine tunnel, and listened carefully to what was going on outside.

Although there is a thick iron door weighing several thousand kilograms blocking the mine tunnel, there is no guarantee that there will be a powerful beast master who can break this iron door.

The thin man and the fat Wu Zun also looked nervous.

"Boom!"

On the rock wall, there was another dull impact, which shocked everyone in the mine tunnel.

The warrior miners jumped up and stood up, holding various mining shovels and other weapons, just in case. If a sea beast really comes charging in, warriors like them will have to fight tooth and nail.

"Brother, something doesn't sound right about this sound. It's very dull. It doesn't sound like it's coming from the direction of the cave entrance. It seems to be coming from somewhere far away."

Fatty Wu Zun blinked his eyes and said nervously to Lu Guang.

"Is it coming from further away? If the rocks in the distance were hit, how could we still hear it so clearly here!"

Lu Guang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, he suddenly turned back and looked deep into the mine tunnel.

There is another possibility, that is, this dull and distant sound of hitting the wall came from deep in the mine tunnel.

Lu Guang said sternly: "Second brother, have you checked the entire mine tunnel in the past few days?!"

The face of the thin Wu Zun changed slightly, and he lowered his voice a little, saying: "Brother, I asked the foreman to take a look in the past few days. I heard from the foreman that there is water seeping from a rock in the mine tunnel! I am preparing to inspect it carefully in the next two days. Please, prevent water leakage. This kind of thing happens often, so I didn't tell you."

"Damn it! This is not a simple rock seepage, it should be close to an underground river, and the water seeps into the rock wall! I'm afraid it's a sea monster from the bottom of the sea, hitting the rock wall!"

Lu Guang's face instantly became extremely ugly.

The depths of this mine tunnel are dug in all directions, with a large number of forks and small tunnels.

A few of them would occasionally take advantage of the various landslides and disasters in the mine tunnel to cause one or two mining disasters for the miners, using this as an excuse to steal a small portion of the blue water sand and earn a lot of yuan stones.

The thin Wu Zun discovered this water seepage a few days ago, but he was selfish and did not do anything to deal with it. Just waiting for a mining accident to happen here in the future.

If it were Lu Guang himself, I'm afraid he would deliberately turn a blind eye.

I just didn't expect that this move would actually shoot myself in the foot.

"Boom!"

A third dull crash sounded in the mine tunnel.

This time, everyone heard it more clearly, it was indeed coming from the depths of the mine tunnel. A very ferocious force was hitting the stone wall deep in the mine tunnel.

The sea monster cannot be in the rocks.

The only possibility is that there is an underground river under this island. There are sea beasts in the underground river, crashing into the cave walls of the mine tunnels.

"Brother, this is not true! Is it true that the depths of the mine tunnel are connected to the underground river?"

Fat Dun Wu Zun's expression changed drastically.

"It's over!"

"There are a large number of beast masters outside the island. If a sea beast knocks off the rock wall deep in the mine, wouldn't we be forced into a desperate situation?"

"If the sea beasts come in, we're all doomed!"

The miners were shocked, scared out of their wits, and looked into the depths of the mine tunnel.

This deep mine tunnel instantly turned into a terrifying giant hole. Once connected to the underground river, they will have no barrier and will be directly exposed to the sea monsters on the seabed.
