My carefree life in space

Chapter 258 Mysterious Island

After leaving the forests of southern Xinjiang, Lin Shushu and her two companions did not dare to slack off in the slightest. They rushed to the next location of the Brahma Bowl fragments without stopping. This time, they were going to a mysterious island in the East China Sea.

After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the east coast. Looking out, the sea surged with waves, and on the distant horizon, a faintly visible island was shrouded in thick clouds.

Around the island, powerful spiritual energy storms roared and raged like enraged beasts, turning the entire area upside down. Within the storms, bursts of spiritual energy exploded like lightning, as if warning any creature that approached.

“This spiritual energy storm is so powerful that ordinary flying boats cannot even get close.” Xiao Jingping frowned, looking at the terrifying storm area with worry in his eyes.

"Such a powerful spiritual energy storm, if we were to force our way through, we would probably be pulverized to pieces," Mo Ze said worriedly.

Just when the three were at a loss, Lin Shushu suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She clapped her hands and looked at Mo Ze with surprise in her eyes: "Mo Ze, didn't that senior give us some treasures a while ago? It seems that there are treasures among them that can resist these spiritual energy storms!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Ze recalled the various magical artifacts that the Dragon Clan's Grand Elder had given to Shu Shu, and the worry in his eyes gradually dissipated. Dragon Island's environment was somewhat similar to this place; perhaps the Dragon Clan truly possessed magical artifacts capable of suppressing these storms.

Although Xiao Jingping didn't know what they were talking about, seeing that their expressions had changed from worry to hope, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

Lin Shushu hurriedly rummaged through her storage ring to find the treasures given to her by the Dragon Clan's Grand Elder. These treasures were of various shapes and emitted a mysterious light. She carefully recalled the scene when the Dragon Clan's Grand Elder introduced the treasures, and finally, her gaze fell on a small and exquisite compass.

"That's it!" Lin Shushu said excitedly. "This is the 'Wind-Stabilizing Compass,' which should be able to stabilize the spiritual energy storm and open up a safe passage for us."

The other two immediately gathered around, carefully examining the wind compass. Mo Ze's eyes were filled with joy: "Shu Shu, try it out!"

Lin Shushu took a deep breath and slowly channeled her spiritual energy into the Wind-Fixing Compass. As the spiritual energy flowed in, a soft light shone from the center of the compass, pointing directly at the spiritual energy storm.

In an instant, the originally raging storm of spiritual energy seemed to be restrained by some powerful force, and began to undergo subtle changes. The speed of the storm's rotation gradually slowed down, and the rampant spiritual energy within it was no longer so chaotic and disorderly.

"It works!" Xiao Jingping exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Shushu was completely focused on manipulating the wind-fixing compass, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat. She constantly adjusted the output of her spiritual energy, trying to maximize the compass's effectiveness.

Under the influence of the wind-stabilizing compass, a narrow passage gradually appeared within the spiritual energy storm. The spiritual energy on both sides of the passage acted like an invisible wall; although still powerful, it no longer posed a threat to them.

"Let's go!" Lin Shushu shouted, put away the wind-fixing compass, and boarded the flying boat with Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping, flying towards the passage.

The airship sped through the passage, the surrounding spiritual energy storms roaring incessantly, as if howling in resentment. However, under the suppression of the Wind-Fixing Compass, it was unable to break through the passage and cause them any harm.

More than an hour later, the three successfully passed through the spiritual energy storm and set foot on the land of the mysterious island. Looking at the unfamiliar and mysterious island before them, the three were filled with excitement, but also with a hint of wariness.

A thin mist hung over the island, from which strange sounds could be faintly heard. The trees on the island were tall and ancient, their trunks carved with mysterious symbols, as if telling untold stories.

Just then, the fragment of the Brahma Bowl on Lin Shushu's body suddenly began to tremble slightly, and a warm power came from her arm, which made her even more certain that the other fragment of the Brahma Bowl was hidden in some corner of the island.

However, the island was mysterious and unpredictable, and the surrounding spiritual energy was chaotic and disordered, like a tangled mess, interfering with their senses. In this environment, the Star Mirror's light flickered erratically, unable to provide clear direction as usual.

"The spiritual energy is too chaotic; there's no way to determine the location." Mo Ze frowned, somewhat unwilling.

Xiao Jingping looked around, trying to find some clues: "Perhaps we can find some clues from these strange signs." He pointed to a huge ancient tree not far away, with strange patterns on the trunk, like some kind of ancient script, but difficult to decipher.

Although this might be a possible method, none of the three could discern anything from these patterns, so they had to give up.

Lin Shushu closed her eyes, focusing all her attention on the fragments of the Brahma Bowl, trying to pinpoint the location of another fragment through the resonance between them. Gradually, she entered a state of tranquility, as if she could feel the faint calls emanating from the fragments.

"Follow me!" Lin Shushu suddenly opened her eyes, a determined glint in them, and strode quickly in one direction. Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping exchanged a glance and followed her without hesitation.

They walked along a winding path, and the scenery around them became increasingly peculiar. The stones along the roadside were of various shapes, some resembling eagles spreading their wings as if about to take flight, and others like ferocious beasts baring their fangs and claws.

As you venture deeper, a faint fragrance fills the air, making you feel refreshed and relaxed, yet also subtly uneasy.

Suddenly, a huge lake appeared ahead. The lake water was an unusual blue, sparkling like a gemstone, and a thin layer of mist hung over its surface.

The fragment of the Brahma Bowl on Lin Shushu's body trembled even more violently. She could sense that another fragment was near the lake.

"Could the fragments be at the bottom of the lake?" Mo Ze asked, gazing at the lake surface with a puzzled expression. Xiao Jingping carefully observed the lake surface and noticed that the fog in the center of the lake seemed to be thicker. "Perhaps we should go and check the center of the lake."

Just then, ripples suddenly appeared on the calm lake surface, and a huge tentacle stretched out from the lake and swept towards them.

The three quickly scattered, and Mo Ze drew his longsword, unleashing a sword aura that slashed at the tentacle. The tentacle was struck by the sword aura, but only trembled slightly before writhing even more wildly.

Xiao Jingping moved with lightning speed, approaching the tentacle like a ghost, and thrust his sword fiercely at the base of the tentacle. The tentacle, in pain, flung itself away, sending Xiao Jingping flying.

Seeing this, Mo Ze launched another attack. This time, he channeled his spiritual power into his longsword, causing the blade to shine brightly as he slashed towards the tentacles.

Lin Shushu gathered her spiritual energy into a ball with both hands and slammed it fiercely into the tentacle. Under their combined attack, the tentacle finally retracted into the lake. However, the lake surface remained turbulent, clearly indicating that the monster had not given up.

"It seems that to find the fragments, we must first solve this problem." Lin Shushu's expression was solemn as she tightly gripped the fragment of the Brahma Bowl, pondering a solution.

At this moment, the spiritual energy around the lake became increasingly chaotic, as if stirred up even more wildly by the monster. The light of the Star Mirror was also suppressed by this chaotic spiritual energy, becoming extremely weak.
