Chapter 220 Arrival at Qinglai Island
Chapter 220 Arrival at Qinglai Island
Time passed quickly, and after seven days of sailing, Ara Taki Ito and his crew finally arrived at Qinglai Island.
"Guests, we have arrived at Qinglai Island. You can disembark now."
The driver stretched himself lazily, and a smile appeared unconsciously on his lips. However, when he thought that he would not be able to go home for the next two months and had to drive them to Heguan, the corners of his mouth that had just risen suddenly fell down again.
Aratake Ichito patted the driver's shoulder and said, "Okay, come with us, brother."
The driver was stunned and quickly explained, "My dear, I don't need that. I will wait for you to come back in the cabin."
"No, no, that's not what I meant."
Arata Ichito said, "I'm mainly afraid that you'll run away and we won't be able to go back."
The driver immediately said expressionlessly, "Sir, you are insulting my professional ethics."
"Life is better than insult. At worst I can come back and give you more money. So let's go, little brother."
The driver immediately showed a friendly smile, "It is our principle to help our guests share their worries. My morals will not allow my guests to be sad. I will leave now, I will leave now."
The driver quickly left his seat and walked out of the cabin.
Looking at the young man's determined back as he left, Aratake Ichito couldn't help but sigh, "There are still many good people in this world."
Then he walked out quickly.
Everyone was standing on the edge of the island, cheering and jumping for joy just now, but after a few seconds of happiness, they stared at each other, all confused, not knowing what to do.
After seeing Arata Ichito, everyone came over, and Jiuqi Shinobu asked first, "Boss, we have arrived at Qinglai Island now, what next? What do you think we should do?"
"Oh, what to do?"
Arata Ichito looked up at the sky, and everyone else also looked up.
The overwhelming black clouds covered the vast sky. Loud rumbling sounds erupted in the sky, like the roar of a giant. The entire island seemed to be buried in the endless darkness, with countless lives and hopes buried, leaving only dead silence.
With just one glance, everyone felt an almost suffocating sense of oppression, as if a mountain was pressing down on their heads, making their chests feel heavy and their breathing difficult.
Following the perspective of Aratake Ichito, the black clouds above the sky seemed to be torn apart by some great force, and a shocking hole was punched in an airtight curtain.
The thick black clouds seemed to have transformed into poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts, circling around there.
There were countless thunder and lightning on the inside. The strange lightning dyed the surrounding dark clouds a dark purple. The dazzling lightning illuminated the entire Qinglai Island. The source of the loud noise just now came from here.
And in the center of the hole, there is a small black dot that is completely inconspicuous. Even the faint light of a flash of lightning can easily cover up its existence.
At this moment, Aratake Ichito's finger was pointing at the black dot.
"It's very simple. I'm referring to the guy on top. You guys will take care of the small fry below. Tell me, do you have confidence?"
"No!!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
The driver almost knelt down to Arata Ichito at this moment, "This place has been abandoned for several years! Monsters have already occupied this place, and their number must be countless. Customer...ah no! Boss...no! Grandpa!"
"I'm just an ordinary person. I'm such a loser that even the Hillichul people would feel disgusted if they ate me! I definitely can't do this! I don't want the money. I'll be your driver for free! I'll compensate for all the losses! I only hope that Grandpa can show some leniency and spare my life. I'm still young! I'm only 23 years old. I don't want to die yet!"
"Ok?"
Arata Ichito turned around, looked at the crying driver, and said, "When did I ask you to fight? You are not one of us. Just find a shady place and don't run away."
Hearing this, the driver breathed a sigh of relief, "So... So that's how it is... So that's how it is..."
"No buddy, didn't you say you had your own work ethic? Why can't you do it now?"
Seeing his funny panic-stricken look, Ara Taki Ichito couldn't help but tease him.
The driver waved his hand. "No, sir, this is obviously beyond my endurance limit for this profession. I still want to live."
"Okay, boss, stop teasing me. You kept me in the dark until halfway through before revealing your true intentions, and then you said you were going to take everyone with you to clean up the monsters. It's only natural for this guy to behave like this."
Jiuqi Shinobu spoke slowly, bringing the topic to an end.
Yuan Tai had been patient for a long time, and immediately joined in the conversation, "Boss, let's not discuss him first. Let's just say, was what you just said human language?"
He pointed at himself, then at the people behind him, and demanded, "You want us to... go fight monsters? Boss, if you had a peanut in your mouth, you wouldn't be this drunk."
"Let's not talk about the three kids for now. We didn't expect them to follow us. Although Sister Shinobu is very agile, she has given up the Eye of God. At best, she can only fight against some hillbillies. If she encounters some hillbilly thugs or the Hillbilly King, she will have no choice but to run away."
"Don't even mention us. We haven't practiced martial arts for a few days, and we've been running almost all the time. With this lineup, are we going to fight with our heads?"
Arata Ichito had a scoundrel look on his face, "I asked you to fight because you can't beat me. If you were all so awesome, why would I come to Qinglai Island? There's no one around here, and there are lots of monsters. It's simply the best place to level up."
"Besides, we are not acting separately, and we don't have any mission. The main purpose is to make you stronger. I also have to take care of the safety of the three children. Of course, I will act with you. You have nothing to be afraid of with me around. Just put your heart at ease."
Jiuqi Shinobu pointed to the small black dot in the sky again, "So, Boss, is there any powerful monster in the place you pointed to just now?"
Arata nodded. "I noticed it when I first stepped onto the island. I was itching to practice with it."
Jiuqi Shinobu continued, "In other words, the black spot in the sky is the end point of our Qinglai Island?"
Arata Ichito pondered for a few seconds and said, "That's about it. Anyway, it's the finale, so it's definitely saved for last."
Jiu Qi Shinobu nodded, indicating that she understood. Then she looked up at the sky and said calmly, "One last question, Boss, how should we get up there?"
The corner of Arata Ichito's mouth rose. He stretched out his index finger and gently waved it in front of Jiuqi Shinobu, saying mysteriously,
"The mountain man has his own clever plan. I still need to figure out how to reach the top. If it doesn't work, there's no need to stay here. Just leave."
Jiuqi Shinobu directly exposed it, "To put it bluntly, even if you are the boss, you don't know how to get up there."
Arata Ichito smiled awkwardly. There was no way. He couldn't say, "I know a mechanism that can teleport us into the sky,"
