186: distribute

The light spots in the darkness became the last hope for those in despair.

Everyone rushed towards it like moths flying into a flame.

The light spot grew larger and larger, and the scene before them became clearer and clearer.

Finally, the five people escaped from the darkness and landed on the ground.

Stepping on the solid ground, the five people felt an indescribable sense of security and stability.

Zhou Luo stood silently to the side, Bai had already been stored in his pet bag.

Because the backpack would freeze everything, in order for Bai to absorb the illusionary power faster, he chose to put it in the pet bag.

The so-called pet bag was actually similar to a storage bag, but with smaller Space, though it could hold living creatures.

People who owned spiritual beasts usually carried a pet bag for convenience.

The five people who had escaped death stood still, panting heavily.

Wei Qingtao looked at his sister's severed arm, was greatly shocked, and quickly asked for the reason.

Wu Gang looked at his brother Liu Tie with a complex expression.

Another brother, Liu Zi, had not come out yet, and was likely in grave danger.

This time he had brought four brothers, originally planning to make a fortune, but he didn't expect that only one would be left in the end.

This greatly exceeded his expectations.

Especially since the people who died along the way were all close to him.

Shangguan Qianxue's small face was slightly pale, she calmed her mind, her beautiful eyes staring at Zhou Luo, wondering what she was thinking.

The small island was unaffected by the illusion and had no illusionary power, which was why everyone could appear so relaxed.

After a long while, everyone finally turned their attention to this small island.

The small island was not large, and on the island covered in colorful flowers and plants, they could only see various vibrant plants, seemingly without any heavenly treasures.

Wu Gang scanned with his Divine Sense and immediately noticed a pile of broken stones in the center of the island, with an object placed among the stones.

The object looked like a bell, placed there casually, as if waiting for someone to take it.

Wu Gang's eyes were burning with desire, but he strongly resisted going forward.

He looked at the remaining people: "Everyone, I believe you have all noticed that the bell should be a high-grade Magical Artifact."

Everyone remained silent.

Anyone with discerning eyes knew that the bell was at least a top-grade Magical Artifact.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth the hardships they had endured.

"Then let's discuss the distribution," Wu Gang said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, Liu Tie had already silently stood beside him.

The Wei Family siblings stood together, Shangguan Qianxue stood to the side, and Zhou Luo was closer to the shore and further away from the others.

"How do you want to distribute it?" Wei Qingtao asked.

"We lost three brothers this time, so this Magical Artifact should belong to us," Liu Tie said loudly.

Along the way, their group suffered the greatest losses.

The Wei Family siblings' expressions immediately darkened.

Wu Gang maintained his smile and continued: "Everyone should have seen it, I am the captain of this small team, and without me, you wouldn't have been able to get here, not to mention my losses are the greatest."

"So, I think it's fine for this Magical Artifact to belong to me."

"Anyway, there are still two islands, right? We only want this Magical Artifact, the rest is yours."

This was a relatively reasonable request.

But Wei Qingtao sneered: "Heh, you say it lightly, is it that easy to get to those islands?"

The formation just now had already cost them half their lives, if they had to do it again, they might not even be able to return.

Although Wu Gang's proposal sounded fair, he completely ignored the difficulty of reaching the islands.

So they definitely couldn't agree.

"Exactly, even if we agree, they won't agree," Wei Qinghong added.

She was referring to Zhou Luo and Shangguan Qianxue.

Wu Gang's eyes narrowed, the other party wanted to tie both of them together.

If it were before, when his four brothers were still here, plus himself, perhaps he could force the other party to comply.

But now, truly confronting the four of them would only lead to more losses than gains.

He smiled and looked at Shangguan Qianxue: "What do you think?"

"If we want fairness, then let's divide it equally. I don't want the Magical Artifact, just give me the corresponding compensation," Shangguan Qianxue said calmly.

"Me too," Zhou Luo said from the shore, agreeing.

The Wei Family siblings exchanged glances and also nodded in agreement.

Wu Gang's eyes flickered, calculating in his mind.

After a long while, he slowly said: "If this is a top-grade Magical Artifact, its value is too great, I can't compensate for it."

"Either wait until we get out and sell this Magical Artifact, then discuss it."

"Or we continue to explore the islands, find all the treasures on the remaining two small islands, and then distribute them."

"Whether to go or stay is up to you."

The Wei Family siblings immediately stated: "We want to leave."

Their trip to the Magic Forest had already cost them too much, Wei Qinghong even lost an arm, and now they only wanted to stop the losses.

"I think we can continue," Zhou Luo, who had been treating himself as a peripheral figure, suddenly said.

If this group all left, he wouldn't be able to "test the waters" anymore.

Who knew what the Formations on the other two islands were like?

His words attracted everyone's attention.

Zhou Luo calmly explained: "Actually, I've already figured out some tricks to breaking the Formation just now, it might be much easier next time."

"If that's the case, then I also think we should continue," Wu Gang immediately stated.

He had also paid a considerable price, if he couldn't recoup his investment, it would truly be a loss for nothing.

Since he agreed, Liu Tie naturally followed suit.

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Shangguan Qianxue.

"Let's continue."

Shangguan Qianxue had originally come for experience, the previous formation had greatly tempered her mind, perhaps she could truly break through in life and death situations.

Seeing this, the Wei Family siblings were helpless and could only reluctantly agree.

"Who will keep the Magical Artifact?" Wei Qingtao asked again.

Wu Gang originally wanted to say himself.

But seeing the look in the Wei Family siblings' eyes, he knew it was impossible.

He compromised and said: "Let Daoist friend Qianxue keep it, I don't think anyone has any objections."

Shangguan Qianxue was a Azure Origin Sect Disciple, although she didn't say it, everyone knew it.

Entrusting such an item to an Immortal Sect Disciple was far more secure than entrusting it to others.

Zhou Luo on the shore was still thinking if this group would entrust it to him, who was only at Qi Refining Fifth Layer, but he had miscalculated after all.

Thinking about it, he was the only Array Master.

If it were given to him, what if he directly broke the formation and ran away?

Considering everything, Shangguan Qianxue was indeed the best candidate.

Everyone had no objections either.

Finally, Shangguan Qianxue walked towards the bell alone, and it was eventually proven to be a top-grade Magical Artifact.

The others sat cross-legged on the ground, taking this opportunity to quickly replenish their spiritual energy.

Taking this opportunity, Zhou Luo pretended to meditate and adjust his breathing for a while, then got up and walked towards the colorful plants on the island.

These things might seem useless in the eyes of others.

But as a spiritual plant Master, Zhou Luo could sense the illusionary power within these plants.

If they were transplanted to Zhou Garden, wouldn't they be able to serve as a natural barrier in the future?
