C719 Bat Island

To Xiao Yi, this was a perfect ending.

Now, north of the Pacific Ocean in South Africa, the entire ocean is a deep blue. In the middle of the sea was an unknown island. The island had no name. However, the island was once named Bat Island by the explorers.

Because, many years ago, there was a volcanic eruption on this island. This led to the rampage of fire bat on this island over the years. There was once an explorer who died under a horde of fire bat.

The bats lurked during the day and came out in groups at night to hunt for food. fire bat was especially fond of human blood, and was a type of vampire bat. Mad by nature, like to drink blood. If it was just one or two bats, he could still contend with them. When hundreds and thousands of bats hover down and drown you like sand, there is only one result, and that is to become a human.

Because of these fire bat, this island was classified as a dangerous island. In these years, there had been even less people around.

However, in the recent days, this bat island had gradually started to boil.

On this island, the news of the discovery of the gold mine had disappeared without a trace. This led to the entire world's top powers madly rushing over here. After all, this was an uninhabited island, and no country had any sovereignty over it. If there really was such an enormous gold mine, then anyone could become its owner.

Xiao Yi followed Xiao Chaoran and similarly arrived at the bat island on a calm day.

The Xiao family occupied a large cave on the bat island. They guarded this cave day and night, never going out. The daily necessities of water and food were stock and endless supplies from outside. Of course, there were wild game on the island as well, but no one dared to go out and look for it.

Even when the fire bat rested during the day, they would still not dare to go out. This was because there were not only fire bat on this island, there were also countless forces. If he fell into someone else's hands, he would also die.

Everyone wanted to capture the Xiao family and interrogate them harshly. The news about the gold mine was not clear to everyone and they did not get any conclusive evidence.

Behind Xiao Yi and Xiao Chaoran were the other 24 people, all of whom were part of the team that Xiao Chaoran had brought along. Outsiders could tell that the bulge on their waists was a gun.

In a place like this, power was everything.

With Xiao Chaoran taking the lead, a group of people headed towards the Xiao family's cave on the island.

As they walked towards the island, Xiao Chaoran introduced them, "At that time, a ship of ours arrived on this island. Due to the wind, the sea's condition was terrible. He had no choice but to land on this island and stay there for a few days, waiting for the sea breeze to calm down before leaving. At night, in order to resist the attacks of the fire bat, they dug a hole on the road. When they dug deeper, they accidentally dug out some gold. "

With just a few words, he had clearly explained the entire situation.

Sometimes things happen that way.

The name of a hero sometimes depends entirely on the will of heaven. Some people worked in the fields all their lives, digging up land for the rest of their lives. In the end, it was still the three acres of dry land. However, there were people in the earth who could dig out coal mines, gold ingots, ancient tombs, antiques and so on. Heaven's will is like this, unfathomable, but your life is always full of fortuitous encounters.

This was the current situation in the Xiao family.

"Even on an uninhabited island, a gold mine was found. "For a clan like ours, this is normal. Ordinary powers wouldn't get involved in this." Xiao Chaoran took a deep breath and sighed: "After all, whoever discovers the first thing will be their lucky chance. However, this time was different. The island was too big and too tall. Look, if there was a gold mine hidden here, how much gold could be mined and excavated. Due to the drive of benefits, there has been a surge of undercurrents here who have been fighting for it. "

"Indeed, it is a bit big."

Even if it was Xiao Yi, at this time, he lifted his head to sweep his eyes over everyone present and sucked in a cold breath of air. After the volcanic eruption, lush green trees had grown here, densely packed and endless. In addition, the mountain was tall and the rocks protruding outwards. It was close to the peak of a hundred meters, and with such a vast area, a huge gold mine like this could allow a second-rate family to become a first-rate family. And a first-rate family could use such a huge gold mine to become a top power amongst first-rate families. That was why what happened this time was so unusual.

"What are the big powers in this world?" Xiao Yi started to understand the situation.

Xiao Chaoran thought for a while, and then said in a low voice, "Some third-rate, small powers would be seeking their own destruction if they were to get involved. Right now, this island has the FBI from the United States, the Yamaguchi Group from the island, and our Hongmen. At present, these three powers were the most powerful. However, the FBI is part of the official organization, so we should take a look at the situation. "

Xiao Yi nodded and did not continue, and indicated for Xiao Chaoran to continue.

"As for the island's Yamaguchi Group, for them to receive this news, it is truly a bit inconceivable. Although they belong to the same Asia, their power has yet to infiltrate into our Xiao family. The news of the discovery of the gold mine had been sealed off from the very beginning. The only possibility that a situation like this would happen is that Hongmen had planted quite a few people into our Xiao Family over the years. From the looks of it, it was still possible that the Hongmen had leaked the news to the mountain pass to muddle the waters. The FBI, on the other hand, had discovered the movements of these two forces and had come to monitor them closely. I am afraid they are half suspicious of the news of this gold mine, and their ambition is not to be on it. "

Xiao Chaoran was a person who had clearly seen the essence of the matter. Now, he was analyzing the various paths, so he had reason and evidence.

Xiao Yi nodded, and then muttered to himself for a while, before opening his mouth again: "So that means, currently on this island, our greatest enemy is the Hongmen."

"I think so." Although Xiao Chaoran was unwilling to become the reality, he still had to nod his head.

"That's right. For now, which faction does the Xiao clan belong to?" Xiao Yi immediately raised his head to look at Xiao Chaoran, his gaze deep.

Xiao Chaoran laughed bitterly: "A second-rate power."

"Compared to Hongmen?" Xiao Yi continued to ask.

Xiao Chaoran muttered to himself for a moment, and then said slowly, "Our Xiao Family was originally a branch family split out from the Hongmen, and was split apart due to various matters back then. All this while, the Xiao family had been diligently nurturing the clan and had been developing at a rapid pace in these past few years. That's why my father has been cautious about family matters all these years. It's the same principle that makes me the successor. "

Xiao Chaoran didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but it was clear that his heart sank when he talked about Xiao Shuihan.

Remembering his own assessment of his grandfather's final verdict, he was too self-righteous and liked to carry out everything according to the plan he had set himself. At this moment, Xiao Yi suddenly understood that it was because of this position that made Xiao Shuihan have no choice but to be cautious. In an instant, Xiao Yi seemed to have understood the problem with his grandfather.

"We have to be careful. The main reason is because of Hongmen. " Xiao Chaoran's expression became grave, and said in a low voice: "The Hongmen is a big family, our Xiao family is truly seeking for survival. Hongmen can fail, but the Xiao Clan only needs to fail once. Thus, although our Xiao Clan seems to have grown stronger over the years, the reality is that our situation is not good. Any first-rate clan would not be able to allow a single branch to grow. Xiao Yi, do you understand? "

Xiao Yi nodded, and slowly said: "Understood. If one side branch develops, then the second and third side branches split. This kind of situation was something that a noble family would absolutely put an end to. Moreover, how can you allow others to sleep under the bed? Although I do not know why the Xiao family split from the Hongmen. However, I know that there must be a grudge between the two sides. Once the Xiao Family becomes powerful and dangerous in the Hongmen, they might launch a counterattack. "

"Right, well said." Xiao Chaoran lifted his head in delight as he looked at Xiao Yi, and a trace of admiration appeared on his face: "Such a young age, with such a nature and perception, you are indeed the top of the young generation. If, if you are a member of our Xiao family. Then, why wouldn't the Xiao family be at ease? "

Hearing these ambiguous words, Xiao Yi's brows slightly twitched. He then quickly changed the topic, "Besides, what are the number of unranked forces in this Dao?"

"I haven't counted specifically." At this time, Xiao Chaoran estimated: "This kind of unranked power, is definitely not inferior to dozens of others. They were all robbers and robbers in this region of the sea, although the number of weapons they had might not be the best. However, these people would lick their blood on the blade all year round. Their hearts were vicious, and their methods were vicious. Logically speaking, a dragon wouldn't be able to suppress a dragon or snake. "These people have a geographical advantage."

"Is that so?" A faint smile hung at the corner of Xiao Yi's mouth as he spoke slowly: "Right now, we should be the ones being watched by this kind of people."

Xiao Chaoran was slightly startled, raised his head and surveyed his surroundings, it was extremely quiet. He did not discover who was watching from the side.

"What do you want to do when you find out?" Xiao Yi asked coldly, his expression unmoved.

Xiao Chaoran was still puzzled, where did he find any signs of trouble? However, even though Xiao Yi's expression was gloomy, Xiao Chaoran still answered truthfully: "Right now, both sides are engaged in a tug of war. This balance had yet to be broken by anyone. If that happens, we turn a blind eye. "

"Why do you have to swallow your anger?" Xiao Yi's mouth formed a cold smile, and said lazily.

However, the next sentence Xiao Yi spoke in a sharp tone: "This is a place where the strong preys on the weak. Nothing but ruthlessness. If you are more ruthless than others, others will be afraid of you. The more indulgent you are, the more others think you're easy to bully. "Now, it's time for us to establish our might."
