The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

"This technique is quite powerful, but the flying speed is really slow." After the explosion, the masked man said softly.

"Yes, it needs to be promoted by wind magic." Matthew nodded.

This secret technique was just a random experiment by him, and he did not spend too much time to improve it.

"There is a demon-suppressing team on this island, and each person has a demon-suppressing tube in his hand. Their task is to use the demon-suppressing tube to consume the monsters when the beast tide comes. Fellow Daoist Li has such a powerful secret technique, I want you to be the captain of the demon-suppressing team!"

The masked man's words surprised Matthew.

He originally guessed that the masked man just asked him to use this secret technique to deal with the monsters when the beast tide came.

But he never thought that he would let him lead a team.

"Li is not good at management, I am afraid I can't do this well." Matthew shook his head.

"After experiencing this wave of beast tide, I can decide to let you leave!" The masked man said with a fixed look.

"How many people are there in the demon-suppressing team?" Matthew asked.

"There were more than a hundred people originally, but now there are only more than twenty people left. They are all foundation-building cultivators, and there are no Jindan cultivators." The masked man said lightly.

"Take me to see it first."

Matthew did not immediately agree to the other party's request, but he had already had an idea in his mind.

Then, the masked man took Matthew to a stone house.

Five people were sitting outside the stone house, wiping the demon-suppressing cylinders in their hands.

Seeing the masked man and Matthew coming, the five people immediately stood up and saluted respectfully, saying: "Greetings to the two adults."

When the voice appeared, the door of the stone house was opened, and more than a dozen people ran out quickly from inside.

"This is Li Daoyou, he is here to check on you." The masked man pointed to Matthew beside him and introduced.

"How long does it take to release the demon-suppressing cylinder once." Matthew asked softly without being polite.

As soon as this was said, everyone's eyes turned to a middle-aged man in his forties.

It seems that this person has the highest prestige here.

"It will take about half an incense stick of time." The middle-aged man said after thinking for a while.

Matthew frowned slightly when he heard this. It only took him more than ten breaths to release a ball of light before.

However, he changed his mind and felt relieved.

The highest cultivation here is only the late stage of foundation building, and the magic power is definitely far inferior to his own.

"In half an incense stick of time, the effect of this demon-suppressing cylinder will be much worse. Why don't you find more people?" Matthew turned his head and looked at the masked man and asked.

"There are limited manpower, and others have other things to do." The masked man smiled bitterly.

"I can agree to your request, but the number of people must be doubled." Matthew said after his eyes turned.

"One time... That's fine."

The masked man thought about it and agreed.

Then, the masked man took Matthew to the place where the foundation-building monks lived to pick people.

"Where are you going?"

Along the way, they happened to meet Qing Yunzi.

"Daoyou Li has agreed to take charge of the demon-suppressing team. I will take him to select some people." The masked man replied casually.

"How many people are needed?" Qing Yunzi asked.

"At least 20 more people are needed." The masked man said. He was a little surprised why Qing Yunzi asked this.

"Twenty people, I'm afraid it won't work." Qing Yunzi shook his head after hearing this.

"Why can't just 20 people work?" This time it was Matthew's turn to be puzzled.

"It's not that Qing is deliberately making things difficult, but the higher-ups just issued a new order. As the first defense point of this wave of beast tide, this island has many things to be rearranged, and there are not enough people." Qing Yunzi sighed and said.

"This..."

The masked man looked at Matthew with some embarrassment.

It seems that he didn't know about this new order either.

When the two men were making trouble, Matthew smiled and said, "Since we are the first defense point, it shouldn't be too much to borrow some people from other outer islands."

When this was said, the masked man and Qingyunzi were stunned at first, and then they clapped their hands at the same time and said, "We are really confused. We actually forgot that we can do this."

"Daoyou Li, you go to other islands with us. I just happened to borrow some people." After being awakened by Matthew's words, Qingyunzi said happily.

The original worry on his face disappeared, replaced by excitement.

After Qingyunzi took out a few sound transmission notes and said a few words to each of them, these sound transmission notes turned into flames and flew around.

"Let's set off now without delay." Qingyunzi said to the two after releasing the sound transmission notes.

Matthew and the masked man naturally had no objection.

There is a teleportation array on the island. It is natural that Qingyunzi and the masked man do not need to inform anyone to use the teleportation array.

When the white light came on, the three left the third outer island.

After the three left, Ji Tian and a dozen other people sat together in a stone house.

At this time, a foundation-building monk came in and quickly reported the matter of Matthew, the masked man, and Qing Yunzi.

When these people heard that Matthew followed the two through the teleportation array to leave the No. 3 outer island, everyone's face showed shock.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, this fellow Daoist Li has only been on this island for a short time, how could he be so close to these two people." After sending away the foundation-building monk, one person said with a sad face.

"I don't know, this person is a bit lonely and cold, and I don't have much contact with him. Maybe it's because he knows that special secret technique." Ji Tian shook his head and said.

"In this case, we can't win this person over." Another person said.

"Not only can we not win him over, we must also be extra careful with him!"

Discussions about Matthew continued in this stone chamber.
