One dares to ask, the other dares to say. That's fun? That's playing with your life, okay?! You could lose your life if you're not careful.

Zhou Liyan: "Really? I always heard people say that mermaids are creepy, but I didn't expect they could be fun."

She looked at Nie Hengzhou and said, "Do you think it's fun too?"

Nie Hengzhou didn't ignore her this time. He stepped behind Gu Liyue to block her sight.

Zhou Liyan: "..." She wanted to go forward, but Nie Hengzhou's aura was cold and powerful, so she didn't dare.

Li Wen said to Xiao Ju, "Do you want me to take you to a place where we can rest? There are no residents on Liuli Island. There is a sheltered spot over there that is suitable for resting at night."

Xiao Ju glanced at Gu Liyue and said, "No need. Let's look around first. It's still a long way from getting dark."

With that, the group went on their own.

Li Wen and Zhou Liyan looked at each other and watched them walk away in dissatisfaction.

Wen Qinnuan said as she walked, "What do these two people want to do? Can't they see that we don't want to bother with them? Why do they keep trying to get closer?"

Qiao Zhiwen said, "You must have some plans."

Yun Lizhi: "I think Zhou Liyan has fallen for Senior Brother Nie!"

Xiao Ju: "On the boat, her eyes seemed to be glued to the eldest brother."

Nie Hengzhou's face immediately darkened upon hearing this.

No one dared to discuss this matter anymore.

Gu Liyue said, "Let's go to the east first. The book says that the golden walrus will bask in the sun in the east. Walruses are social animals and they are level five. Let's observe them first."

Xiahou Jingrong took out the map he bought and spread it out on the beach.

Everyone gathered around and looked carefully.

The east side of the island should be close to the mainland. There is a flat beach there, which is where the golden walruses live.

They should be able to reach it if they just continue walking along the edge of the island, but there seems to be a section in the middle where there is no beach and only a steep cliff.

There was no road leading to the place where the golden walruses were sunbathing on the island. No wonder the golden walruses chose this place, as it was difficult for monks to reach.

There is another way to get to that place, which is to cross Liuli Island from the west side of the island to the east side.

However, you must pass through a forest, which is marked on the map as the Misty Forest.

The place is shrouded in mist all year round, which is said to make monks lost in it and difficult to walk out of the woods, so few monks would enter there.

The records of this forest are not very detailed. We can only see its size, but we don't know the specific conditions inside.

Gu Liyue pointed to the golden walrus's activity spot on the east side of the island and said to Nie Hengzhou, "We've been assigned by the academy to hunt golden walruses. This is where they're on the island."

She looked at everyone again and asked, "Look, do you want to go to the cliff to see the environment, or go through the misty forest?"

Xiahou Jingrong recalled what the shopkeeper had told him when he bought the book. He pointed at the cliff and said, "It's probably impossible to get through here. It's said that flying a sword can't get through here either. The strong winds over there are a bit strange, and cultivators flying swords over there would be blown into the sea."

Yun Lizhi said, "Neither of these two paths is easy to take."

Wen Qinnuan said, "A fifth-level golden walrus is not easy to hunt, but I didn't expect to have to go through the woods or the gale-force cliffs."

Qiao Zhiwen said, "Maybe we should go to these two places and take a look before making a decision."

Xiao Ju said: "Then let's go!"

Su He looked at Xiao Ju and felt that he was always full of energy and believed everything he heard.

"Where to go first?"

Gu Liyue: "Let's go to the nearby Gangfeng Cliff first."

The misty woods are halfway around the island to reach.

Everyone looked at the map again, determined the direction, and walked towards the cliff.

Xiaoxuan also came out of the space at this time. It looked very happy. Sometimes it stood on Gu Liyue's shoulder, and sometimes it let Wen Qinnuan carry it away.

Everyone was walking on the beach. The other monks were walking in another direction, so there were only nine of them walking this way.

After walking for about half an hour, a barren mountain blocked their way. The rocks on the mountain were exposed. As it was blown by the sea breeze all day long, there was no vegetation on the mountain. The mountain was steep, dark and wet, and it looked difficult to climb.

Standing on the beach, Gu Liyue looked at the mountain in front of him and frowned.

"Brother Nie, why don't you try flying up on your sword?"

Among the nine people, only Nie Hengzhou has the highest cultivation level.

"it is good."

As he spoke, Nie Hengzhou summoned his sword. He stood on the sword, one hand behind his back, standing tall and straight.

As he gradually approached the top of the mountain, the strong wind made his clothes rustle.

Everyone on the beach looked at Nie Hengzhou nervously, feeling that his flying was not very stable.

He was seen making hand gestures with one hand, trying to keep his body steady, but he was unable to cross the mountain.

As he went further up, his body began to sway continuously, and the strong wind kept cutting his body like a knife.

After a while, his robes were cut in many places, and his face was cut by the strong wind because he could not dodge in time.

He had to fly lower and gather a spiritual power shield. When he tried to fly up again, he started to waver. It seemed that if he went any higher, he would definitely fall.

He had no choice but to retreat.

Looking at his disheveled appearance, his robes were torn and there was blood on his face.

He said to everyone, "I can't get through this."

Gu Liyue looked at him and said, "Brother Nie, go change into some robes first and take care of the wound on your face."

A glint of joy flashed across Nie Hengzhou's eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up into a beautiful arc, and he softly replied, "Okay."

He turned around, took out a robe from the storage ring and put it on. He also applied ointment on his face. The shallow wound had lost its blood color and could not be seen without a closer look.

Gu Liyue walked closer to the mountain and touched the rocks with her hands, feeling slippery.

With their strength, it is really difficult to cross this mountain.

"Looks like we have to go back and take the path to the Misty Forest."

So a few people turned around and walked back.

Xiaoxuan flew to the beach and chirped, "Liyue, there are fish, shrimps and crabs! I want to eat them."

Gu Liyue thought about it. For the past few days, everyone hadn't eaten anything, relying only on fasting pills to alleviate hunger. Now that they were at the beach, it wouldn't make sense not to eat some seafood. Looking at the sky, it was already noon.

"Xiaoxuan said he wanted to eat seafood."

Wen Qinnuan's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Okay, I want to eat too."

Xiao Ju said: "I've been craving it for a long time."

Everyone laughed.

So, Gu Liyue took out the cooking utensils, two pots, two stoves, a barbecue grill, and several seasonings.

She came out with a bucket and said to the others, "Who can go fishing?"

Su He said, "I'll go over there and play a tune to get them to come over."

Wen Qinnuan said, "I can use a whip to scoop some up."

Nie Hengzhou was beside her, helping her put her things in place. Gu Liyue saw them all walking towards the beach, so she also walked over.
