The next day, just like yesterday, Qin Fang leisurely enjoyed the sea breeze, basking in the sun, feeling completely at ease.
Before the Devil's Trial officially begins, there are only one or two days where you can relax like this. Once you enter Devil's Island, such days will be nothing but a luxury.
The Japanese and the other two also got up quite early, but they only gave Qin Fang a vicious glare before heading out together.
As for what they were up to, Qin Fang had no idea.
"Good morning, Brother Fang…"
After getting up, Lin Shinan proactively approached Qin Fang, enthusiastically greeting him in a manner that seemed as if they were old friends.
"Why are you up so early? Not spending more time with your wife?"
Looking at Lin Shinan, Qin Fang jokingly teased, which made Lin Shinan's eyes widen, but he just chuckled in response.
"Let's not talk about that… Those guys just went out?"
Lin Shinan waved his hand, clearly not wanting to discuss marital affairs, and pointed in the direction of where the three guys stayed, asking.
"Yeah, they just left not too long ago…"
Qin Fang nodded but was still curious enough to ask, "Do you have a grudge with them?"
Judging by the behavior of these three, if they didn't have some kind of enmity with Lin Shinan, there seemed to be no reason for them to cause such targeted trouble.
"I'm not too sure about the other two, but I know that Japanese guy is a mercenary from the Iron Wall Legion… and the Iron Wall Legion is our biggest competitor. He's here to sabotage us!"
Lin Shinan shook his head and briefly explained the situation to Qin Fang.
"I see!"
Qin Fang nodded, as it indeed seemed that the Japanese guy was causing the issue. Whether the Polar Bear and the American Strongman were in cahoots remained to be seen, but the Japanese guy was definitely problematic.
With Lin Shinan's explanation, everything seemed to make sense to Qin Fang now.
"So what do you plan to do?"
Qin Fang casually asked. Since the Japanese guy was here for trouble, he surely wouldn't let things go easily and might seek opportunities to strike. Waiting passively wasn't an option; they needed a plan.
"Opportunity! Once we're on Devil's Island… heh heh!"
Although Lin Shinan seemed rough and boisterous, the fact that he managed to secure a place in the perilous underground world indicated he wasn't a completely brainless brute.
Now that they understood the Japanese guy's objective, it remained uncertain how many adversaries there might be. Clearly, Lin Shinan intended to keep an eye on this.
Shadow's health improved significantly, which not only increased the couple's chances of survival on Devil's Island but also gave them more confidence in dealing with enemies.
At crucial moments, this might even yield unexpected results…
...
"Assemble!"
Qin Fang's leisurely days officially ended with this command, as the ship to take them to Devil's Island had arrived, and it was time for Qin Fang and his group to set off.
All the experts participating in this Devil's Trial gathered at the small island's dock, before boarding the ship to leave for Devil's Island.
"Let's hope we all make it out alive…"
"Let's hope we all make it out alive…"
When leaving the villa, Lin Shinan and Shadow were already waiting there, seemingly just for Qin Fang.
Lin Shinan sincerely expressed his wishes to Qin Fang, while Qin Fang returned the sentiment with a warm smile.
Qin Fang wasn't entirely sure if Lin Shinan and Shadow would survive, given the numerous unknown dangers on Devil's Island. Even with their considerable strengths, survival wasn't guaranteed.
Strength is one thing, but luck is equally important…
"Brother, I know you're a remarkable person! So, if my wife and I manage to leave Devil's Island alive, I'd like to come find you… I hope you can take us in!"
However, Lin Shinan's next words left Qin Fang slightly stunned, as it was quite unexpected.
"You can't be joking, right?"
Qin Fang was taken aback, looking at Lin Shinan and then at Shadow. Their eyes were full of sincerity, with no hint of joking.
"Are you saying you don't want us?"
Lin Shinan's expression was somewhat helpless, and he laughed bitterly.
The couple had already determined that Qin Fang must be someone with a significant background, and such a person usually doesn't lack followers.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the couple both possess strength equivalent to Grandmaster Level, Qin Fang may not lack such subordinates... After all, anyone who can produce a Cultivating Yuan Pill has an incredibly terrifying background.
"How could that be? Welcome, welcome… I am a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand welcomes! I'm just afraid you'll think my temple is too small!"
To be able to accept such two subordinates, Qin Fang had never dared to think about it before, but since Lin Shinan had made such a statement, how could Qin Fang be unwilling?
He indeed has Cultivating Yuan Pills, but he made them with materials he found himself. In this respect, he holds an absolute advantage over ordinary Thousand-Year Sects.
But this is his advantage, yet it hasn't been fully realized. He has quite a few subordinates, but very few possess the strength like Lin Shinan and his wife.
Ji Xiang and others are his friends, brothers, not subordinates, naturally they don't count.
Hattori Sanzo counts as one, Qin Zi counts as one, others like Brother Da and others have average strength, they don't count as true experts.
"Hahaha... As long as you agree! We couple are committed to you..."
Hearing Qin Fang say so, the couple of Lin Shinan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately expressed with a smile, seeming afraid that Qin Fang might change his mind.
"Well then, I'll leave you a contact method. If you two successfully leave Devil's Island, you can contact me! I am sincerely awaiting your arrival..."
Qin Fang was straightforward, giving Brother Da's contact information to Lin Shinan. He had other matters at the moment, making direct contact inconvenient...
Of course, that is under the premise that the couple can leave Devil's Island alive, considering their chances of survival are even lower than others.
Devil's Island itself is dangerous, Shadow needs to find Corpse Mushroom to save lives, and there are still many enemies lurking... truly crisis-ridden.
Qin Fang was willing to take care of them, but what he had to do was far more domineering than Lin Shinan's couple, directly smuggling from Devil's Island... an event that has never occurred in all the years of Devil's Island, would definitely be sensational news if exposed.
Qin Fang himself was about to be exposed, so he couldn't also look out for Lin Shinan's couple...
"Let's go, go over together..."
Having left the contact information, the three of them headed towards the gathering point together.
"Nuclear submarine... what a substantial gesture!"
It was shocking to see, even though they never anticipated more than a regular ship greeting them, but unexpectedly it was a nuclear submarine, and its model clearly showed it's definitely world-class.
"The energy of the Underground World is immense, beyond imagination..."
Lin Shinan couldn't help but exclaim, having mingled in the Underground World for a longer time, naturally knowing more.
Although the Underground World doesn't belong to any nation, its energy is immense, almost comparable to any powerful country, sometimes even surpassing it.
It is a world where strength reigns supreme, without laws or justice, and the only rule is... whoever has the might has the right!
To acquire more discourse power, the Underground World commands formidable armed force, and the nuclear submarine before them is just one aspect, other entities like fighter jets, nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers, etc., might exist but have not been exposed!
"Brother Nan, Sister Shadow, good luck to you!"
Due to the Trialist tokens, Qin Fang as the "privileged group" and Lin Shinan and others as the genuine Trialists were divided into two parts.
Qin Fang had no choice but to bid farewell to Lin Shinan's couple. Before leaving, he expressed his sentiments.
"Thank you for your kind words! And good luck to you too!"
The couple of Lin Shinan also wished, acknowledging Qin Fang's confidence, something they lacked, hoping Qin Fang's prophecy turns true!
Once aboard the nuclear submarine, Qin Fang and the other trialists ventured underwater, with the submarine traversing the ocean, each trialist cramped in narrow cabins, enduring an interminable darkness, unaware of their location or destination.
Time was the only way to ascertain the length of their expedition, as no one informed them of any other details.
This cautious measure of the Underground World has kept Devil's Island's location enigmatic to this day, despite people ascending every three years. The concealment tactic of the Underground World contributed largely to its secrecy.
Some brought navigation devices or tools, yet the nuclear submarine's internal jamming system rendered them useless.
Even the jamming system has a counteroffensive capability, not only blocking signals but also destroying or damaging these devices...
"Indeed in that direction, huh!"
Of course, other trialists might drift unknowingly, oblivious, but not Qin Fang.
Though Qin Fang was also cramped together with other trialists in cabins, he had ways to determine the navigational direction, and even the submarine's route was crystal clear to him.
These crucial pieces of information were essential for him to extract Qin Tiannan from Devil's Island, hence he couldn't overlook it...(To be continued.
