The Shadowless Needle appeared again in Ye Fan's hand. During the flash of silver light, he pierced the Shadowless Needle into the green flesh and blood. The flesh and blood immediately made a "hissing" sound after suffering the power of the Shadowless Needle, and also There is white gas emerging from it.
The green flesh and blood twisted sharply into a ball of black threads, just like flesh and blood turned into black coal after being burned.
A strong stench emanated from the green flesh, and Ye Fan frowned, but he frowned not because the smell made him uncomfortable, but because of the stench and what he had just smelled among the corpses in the town. Exactly the same.
A black aura emerged from the green flesh. This time, Ye Fan did not let it go. Instead, he used a shadowless needle to penetrate the black aura, trying to cut it off or capture it, but the black aura Tangible but incorporeal, the Shadowless Needle can only penetrate but cannot destroy.
For a moment, Ye Fan wanted to use the Chaos Sword to destroy the black aura, but after hesitating for a moment, he gave up the idea. First, because he could not fully grasp the power of the Chaos Sword. If he used it rashly, he might Danger. The second reason is that it is Ye Fan's most precious weapon and he does not want to use it easily in front of outsiders.
After a few layers of thoughts, the black breath had dissipated in the air, and I don’t know where it went.
Ye Fan had no choice but to turn his attention to the two scales. Now Ye Fan was able to determine that the scales and the green flesh must be related to the death of the whole town.
Ye Fan carefully looked at the two scales that were almost identical in shape and size, and realized that the scale he picked up might have been accidentally dropped by the murderer who killed Quan Zhen, and the one he picked out from Quan Zhen's palm. The scales were most likely pulled out of the murderer's body by the whole town who endured severe pain before he died.
Li Feng was a little surprised when he saw the scales: "What kind of animal scales are these? I seem to have never seen them in the Suzaku Kingdom."
A thunder suddenly fell in Ye Fan's mind, opening up his thoughts.
Ye Fan had some strange feelings and suspicions from the moment he saw Quan Zhen's abdominal wound. He thought the murderer was a human at first, and he killed him after fighting with Quan Zhen, but those messy items on the ground There were no signs of a fight or any damage. Instead, it looked more like it had been accidentally knocked to the ground. This meant that there was no fierce battle with the murderer before Quanzhen died.
But if you were assassinated with the force of the whole town, how could you not fight with all your strength? It is absolutely impossible for him to be captured without mercy!
Unless...unless the whole town has suffered some kind of crisis, and the opponent's methods are so powerful or weird that the whole town is unable to fight back, the only thing that can be done is to peel off a scale from the murderer.
Coupled with Li Feng's words just now and Wei Dong's previous judgment that the murderer may not be human, as well as the two scales with flesh and blood that Ye Fan found with his spiritual consciousness, he is now completely sure!
The murderer who killed the whole town was some kind of insect beast with scales on its body. It entered the body of the whole town by unknown means, and at a certain opportunity, it broke out from the belly of the whole town. Such a killing The whole town was completely unable to resist his method, so he could only desperately pluck off a scale with flesh and blood, and the green flesh and blood was the flesh and blood of the insect beast!
Everything is clear. They now know the murderer who killed the whole town, but Ye Fan has no joy after solving the case. Because although we know that some kind of insect beast killed the whole town, there is very little other information. Where should we start to investigate now?
Just when Ye Fan was at a loss what to do, a memory suddenly flashed through his mind.
He remembered a movie he had seen before: " Alien ". The alien insect beast in
first parasitized into the astronaut's body through food, and then broke out of the host's body after absorbing enough nutrients and walked away.
This can also explain why the whole town is aging so quickly. Even if you work day and night for the victims, you shouldn't be aging so fast.
Ye Fan boldly speculated that the parasitic insect beast in the town would not only eat the town's internal organs, but also devour the town's lifespan, using it as its own nutrition, and kill the host when it matures.
Are the creatures in "Alien" from aliens? So could that insect beast come from an alien planet? After all, Xuanxu Realm is not a place like the earth, and there might be an invasion by a different kind of insect beasts.
But Xuanxu Realm is an independent space. The outside is not space, but endless void. So how did this cunning alien insect beast invade?
After thinking about it, Ye Fan felt that there were only two possibilities. One was that someone deliberately cultivated the insect beast in order to kill the whole town; the other was that the insect beast entered the Suzaku Kingdom from a time and space vortex unknown to Li Xiaonian and Ye Fan somewhere in the Xuanxu Realm. By chance, By coincidence, he entered the whole town.
Ye Fan held his scales and walked around the room. Neither Wei Dong nor Lifeng dared to disturb the side by side king who was thinking.
Back then, he and Li Xiaonian traveled throughout the Xuanxu Realm without finding any abnormalities. Perhaps the problem did not occur in those external places, but within the core of the Suzaku Kingdom - the Royal City!
Ye Fan, who was already thinking clearly, immediately turned to Lifeng and said: "The funeral arrangements of the generals in the town and the arrangements for their families will be left to you. I will apply to the queen to let you temporarily act as the general guarding the city and command the royal city. Defense affairs. "
"Yes!" Li Feng stood up and shouted energetically.
Ye Fan nodded, then turned and left.
Suzaku King's Palace.
Ye Fan stood at the highest point of the palace, overlooking the Suzaku King City below.
His mind moved, and a giant brown beetle appeared next to Ye Fan. Every time its huge wings flapped, it would stir up a strong wind.
Ye Fan's robe gently fluttered, and he gently tossed the black scales, and the black scales were suspended in front of the giant beetle Xiao Fei.
"Xiao Fei, feel it, and then find out the owner of this scale. Use all the insects in this city to find that insect beast."
Xiao Fei's mouthparts trembled slightly, and then it used its own He sniffed the scent on the scales with his nose, and then suddenly stirred up a gust of wind with his wings, and sent out bursts of sound waves from his mouth, spreading in all directions.
After a while, insects of different shapes came to Xiao Fei from all directions and worshiped it respectfully. Xiao Fei immediately passed on his information perception of scales to all the insects, and ordered the insects to look for it. Upon reaching the master of the scales, the insects that received the information and orders immediately dispersed and flew to all parts of the royal city.
Ye Fan stood on the top of the palace with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery in the distance without saying a word.
Although Xiao Fei is the ancestor of insects and can control almost all insects, the abilities of his subordinate insects are far less powerful than Xiao Fei. Finding traces of insect beasts takes time, which can take as little as one day or as long as several days. of.
So Ye Fan planned to go to the royal city for a walk first. After all, he hadn't been back here for a long time.
Ye Fan was walking alone in the busy city of the Royal City. This is the core city of the Suzaku Kingdom, so it has always been a prosperous scene. The public security is also quite good, and almost no crime occurs.
"Why are you like this? Is there anyone like you?" A voice like a silver bell came into Ye Fan's ears, with a hint of resentment and helplessness in his tone.
Ye Fan turned around and saw a young woman wearing an apron and holding a plate standing at the table, staring at the table of guests with almond-shaped eyes.
The leader was a young man in a vest with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He picked up the minced meat between his teeth with his fingers, then let out a foul-smelling burp, looked at the girl and said: "I am here to eat for you. Face is recognition of your boss’s cooking skills. Don’t blame me!”
“That’s right, it’s your blessing that our boss eats here. Why do you still want to charge us for it? Is our boss bad?” Someone with a little money?" The fat boy next to the young man in the vest echoed, holding his belly.
"Damn it, fat man, if you can't speak, don't speak. No one will treat you as a mute." The monkey-faced young man kicked the fat man's ass.
The fat man was kicked and felt very aggrieved when he touched his butt. He didn’t know what he said wrong, but he didn’t dare to continue to agree.
In addition to these two laymen, there was also a middle-aged man sitting on the table with his eyes closed and concentrating. A terrifying scar ran across his forehead. He seemed to have eaten nothing and did not want to participate in this kind of thing. Pointless arguments.
Ye Fan looked at the middle-aged man and frowned slightly.
The little girl bit her lip lightly, as if tears were about to flow out of her eyes. It was obvious that she had never encountered such a situation of eating a king's meal, and naturally she didn't know how to deal with it.
"Hurry up and tell your boss, if we serve another roast duck and roast chicken, we are not full yet!" Monkey Face said casually.
"Yes, yes, come on, I haven't even started yet." The fat man touched his belly and laughed twice.
"You..." The little girl was so angry that she picked up the tray in her hand and threw it on the heads of these two scoundrels.
A strong big hand stopped the tray, and the little girl turned her head: "Dad, look at these scoundrels. They don't give you money after eating, and they want to serve roast chicken and roast duck."
Wearing the same apron The middle-aged man was the father of the little girl. He showed a steady smile and said calmly: "Xiaochen, go greet the other guests first and ask them what they want to eat. Just let dad handle it here."
Xiaochen He looked at his father worriedly and wanted to say something more, but after seeing his father's smile, he felt an inexplicable peace of mind, so he took the tray and left first.
The middle-aged store owner showed a professional smile: "Young Masters, you can order a roast duck or chicken, even three or four, but our store is a small business and we really can't afford credit like this,"
"I am Wang Tian, the store manager here. Considering that we are not in an easy situation, I still hope you can show your favor." Wang Tian said with his fists clasped.
The monkey-faced man was about to speak when a cough interrupted his speech.
The scar-faced man opened his eyes. The monkey-faced man glanced at the scar-faced man in fear and did not dare to speak first.
The scar-faced man said very considerately: "We are not the kind of bad people who eat the King's meal. We will definitely pay for it later..."
Wang Tian was delighted when he heard that the boss-looking man said he wanted to pay. As soon as he smiled, he was about to prepare roast duck and chicken for them, but Scarface's next words made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.
"But you have to ask your daughter to come over and drink with us. If we drink and have fun, you will not be short of wine and food, and there will also be rewards."
Wang Tian was stunned: "This man , stop joking."
Scarface looked indifferent: "Do you think I'm joking?"
"Then I won't charge you for the meal. You can go, I won't do your business anymore... "
Scarface winked, and Monkeyface immediately understood. He stood up and kicked the stool to the ground. He walked over and grabbed Wang Tian's collar and punched him in the face.
Wang Tian was an ordinary human being who could only cook a few dishes. After receiving such a heavy punch, blood immediately seeped out from the corner of his mouth and he fell to the ground.
"Our boss has given you face, but you still don't agree and still want to drive us away. It's really shameless. Do you have any business like this?" Monkey Face scolded and kicked Wang Tian in the abdomen. .
When the fat man saw such a cruel scene, his face showed excitement. Then he came to Wang Tian's side and punched Wang Tian's chest several times. While hammering, he muttered:
"You said you are this person?" Why are you so ignorant? Why did you come to provoke our gang of three? I really don’t want to beat you, but you just need to be dealt with..."
The fat man said that he didn’t want to do anything, but he actually did it. The monkey face is even heavier.
When the surrounding diners saw this scene, they didn’t want to meddle in other people’s business. The more courageous ones continued to eat at the table, while the less courageous ones dropped their money and left in a hurry. No one was willing to help, even if they had been friendly just now. Wang Tian greeted and talked about home affairs.
Ye Fan was not in a hurry to take action. As the side by side king, he came out for inspection just for the purpose of patrolling. At the same time, he also wanted to inspect the public security situation here. He wanted to see what happened to the guards after such a hurtful incident happened on the street. When will it come and how will it be solved?
But the guards hadn't arrived yet, but Wang Tian's daughter Xiaochen came over first.
"Dad!" Xiaochen exclaimed, dropped the tray in his hand, ran over and pushed away Monkey Face's feet and Fatty's hands, and then hugged Wang Tian tightly, who was already seriously injured and dying.
When Monkey Face and Fatty saw the little beauty their boss liked coming out, they naturally did not dare to do anything, and just sneered and watched her cry.
After Xiaochen hugged Wang Tian, her body was already soaked with blood. She cried and covered Wang Tian's wound: "Dad, hold on, I will take you to the doctor right away. Hold on, don't shut up first." Eyes! "
But no matter how much Xiaochen cried, Wang Tian's eyes could not help but close.
Xiaochen's mood gradually turned from sadness to despair, and then to strong anger. Then she put down Wang Tian and rushed towards Monkey Face and Fatty howling: "You scumbags, why do you want to hurt my dad!"
But How could an ordinary woman be the opponent of a scoundrel? Monkey Face grabbed Xiaochen's wrist to prevent her from hitting him, and then said with a ferocious smile: "If you want to blame it, blame your father for his ignorance."
Xiaochen cried, lowered his head and bit. Holding Monkey Face's arm, a stream of blood immediately flowed from Monkey Face's wrist. Monkey Face was in great pain. He no longer cared that this woman was the boss's favorite, and raised his hand to slap her down.
"Bang——" An afterimage flashed, and the monkey-faced body flew backwards, hit a pillar and lost consciousness.
Ye Fan stood in front of Xiaochen, stretched out and said lightly: "Why do you continue to do it?"
The fat man suddenly flew out when he looked at the monkey's face, and then there was a young man standing in front of him. With a nonchalant look on his face, he was immediately frightened and peed his pants.
Ye Fan walked up to the fat man and glanced condescendingly: "Looking at you looking stupid, why are you so vicious when you hit people? This is a very bad quality."
The fat man knew that he was absolutely He was no match for the man in front of him. He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Uncle, uncle, I deserve to die. Please let me go. Don't kill me. I'll get out right away."
Ye Fan touched his chin and thought for a while: "This way Well, didn't you punch the shopkeeper dozens of times just now? I won't hit you very much, I'll just punch you and kick you, just two moves."
The fat man was a little shocked, but before he could recover, Ye. Fan has already kicked him.
The fat man's body flew up in the air, almost parallel to Ye Fan's line of sight. Then Ye Fan casually punched forward with his right hand, hitting the fat man's chest. The fat man immediately flew out like a cannonball, and finally hit the wall. He stopped and passed out.
A large amount of blood poured out from his chest and mouth. Even if he could survive such injuries, he would be almost a cripple.
Ye Fan put down his hands and feet, then looked at Scarface silently and said, "Why do you have to do evil? Or when I happen to be out shopping?"
"Who are you? Why are you meddling in other people's business?" It has nothing to do with you at all." Scarface said in a panic.
"I have been watching the battle for so long without coming out to stop you, so I am not a good person, maybe I can barely be considered a villain. So since everyone is a villain, let's solve this matter in a villain's way."
Scarface stood up from his position while Ye Fan was speaking, and slashed at Ye Fan with a bright broadsword.
Ye Fan looked at the sword with disdain in his eyes.
He raised his finger and flicked this ordinary inferior weapon, pouring his own strength into it, and the sword instantly turned into countless fragments.
Scarface held the handle of the knife in horror and wanted to retreat, but it was already too late now.
Ye Fan kicked Scarface in the abdomen again. Scarface whined in pain and bent his body backward. Then Mark slapped Scarface on the head.
"Bang——"
Scarface lost consciousness instantly, fell to the ground and passed out.
Ye Fan slowly retracted his hand and exhaled.
He actually doesn't like killing people, but today he has no choice but to do so.
A pair of soldiers wearing armor ran from a distance. The leader, Qian Gong, the team leader, immediately brought people over when he received a report that there was an injury here.
When Qian Gong saw Ye Fan, he was so frightened that he could not speak for the first time. Fortunately, he could still kneel down on the ground and trembled for several times before saying: "See King Side by Side."
Other guards may not Everyone knew Mark, but when they saw the captain kneeling, they naturally knelt down too.
Before Qian Gong came, he was actually a little negative. After all, injuries were very common. If someone hadn't reported it, he, the team leader, wouldn't have bothered to come over.
But he didn't expect to meet King Bingjian here. At this moment, he was thinking about it and didn't know why the aloof King Bingjian would appear in such a busy city.
is like an ordinary citizen.
Ye Fan glanced at Qian Gong indifferently, said nothing, and just walked straight to Xiao Chen and Wang Tian.
At this moment, Xiaochen was still holding Wang Tian and crying.
"Don't worry, your father will be left to me." Ye Fan hugged Wang Tian from Xiaochen's hands, then took out a pill from his arms and fed it into Wang Tian's mouth, and then used his fingers to smoothly send the pill into the mouth. Inside his belly.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary doctors, Wang Tian was hopeless after suffering such a serious injury, but Ye Fan was a medical master who had received the inheritance from the medical fairy Shen Nong.
As long as ordinary people are still breathing, Ye Fan can be saved. This is the reason why he dared to watch the battle just now, but it is a pity that Wang Tian will suffer a little.
Ye Fan injected a touch of spiritual power into Wang Tian's body. With the repair of the elixir and spiritual power, the blood on Wang Tian's body stopped and his face was no longer so pale.
Xiaochen watched in surprise as his father improved from a serious injury. He simply couldn't believe that such a miracle could happen before his eyes.
Xiaochen glanced at Ye Fan who was treating his father, with admiration and a hint of emotion in his eyes.
He didn't know that Ye Fan was the King of Side by Side, but the man in front of him not only defeated the scoundrels, but also treated his father. These two points alone were enough to make Xiaochen have a good impression of Ye Fan.
After Wang Tian's body had returned to nearly normal state, Ye Fan took back his spiritual power, then picked up Wang Tian and placed him on several stools.
Ye Fan smiled faintly at Xiao Chen: "Your father is no longer in danger. He will wake up soon. You don't have to worry anymore."
Then Ye Fan did not take care of the stunned Xiao Chen, but came to In front of Qian Gong.
Just now, Qian Gong and the guards were kneeling like this while Ye Fan was treating him. Qian Gong knew that he seemed to have vaguely offended the side by side king. Of course, Qian Gong didn't dare to move until he got up.
"Do you know why I keep making you kneel?"
"I don't know." Qian Gong said in fear.
"Because of your dereliction of duty!" Ye Fan shouted, "As city guards, you should protect the safety of the residents in the city. An injury occurred here and it took you so long to arrive? How far is it for you to travel? "Had I not passed by here today, would the innocent shop owner have been beaten to death by the gangsters, and would his daughter have been kidnapped by the gangsters? Who will bear the responsibility?" "
"I know my mistake!" Qian Gong immediately lowered his head and replied loudly.
After giving the lesson, Ye Fan calmed down: "Get up, this time I won't hold you responsible for dereliction of duty. In the future, we will strengthen the inspection of the royal city. Recently... it's not peaceful."
"Yes!" Qian Gonghe The guards shouted together and then stood up.
Ye Fan waved his hand, the guards bowed their heads and saluted, and then left.
Ye Fan turned around,
"Plop!" Xiaochen knelt down and kowtowed to Ye Fan, "Thank you sir for saving my father's life!"
Ye Fan sighed softly and walked over to help him up.
"You don't need to thank me. I happened to be passing by, and I didn't take action immediately. I'm not a good person."
"Sir, there is no need to be humble!"
Ye Fan stood here and looked at the highest place in the distance. The Royal City and the Royal City Guards next to it, and then suddenly an idea came to mind.
"Girl, there is no need to thank me. If you have to thank me, I will ask you a few questions and you can answer them truthfully."
Xiaochen nodded immediately.
"Your place is strategically located and has an excellent view. You should be able to see many people or things. I would like to ask you if you have seen anything strange recently, such as black insects or something."
Xiaochen thought for a while. , suddenly clapped his hands and said: "When you said that, I think I really saw something strange two days ago..."
"My father and I went out to prepare the sauce for the next day in the middle of the night. When I was sitting on a chair pouring water, I accidentally heard some noise,”
“Because it was midnight, there shouldn’t be anyone walking on the street. Only people like us in the food business would make such noises. Morning, when I heard the sound, I walked over to take a look,”
“The rustling sound was very small and vague. When I walked to the alley with the light, I saw a dark mass. Something weird was moving there,”
“I took a closer look with the oil lamp, but I didn’t see what the guy looked like. I only saw dense black scales, and a long tongue-like thing was swinging. , it was licking its own body with that tongue,"
"He was licking his own wounds," Ye Fan said suddenly.
"Ah? What?" Xiaochen said in surprise.
"Nothing, just keep talking."
"I was a little scared at the time because I had never seen that thing before. It looked like an animal, but I didn't see its eyes, legs, hands, claws or anything like that. I ran I wanted to ask my dad to come and see it, but when I went over, I found that the thing was missing. "
Ye Fan was very sure that the thing Xiaochen saw was the insect beast he was looking for to kill the whole town.
The whole town tried their best to pick off a scale, causing the insect beast to be injured. The monster was healing itself that night, but Xiaochen unexpectedly ran into it.
"Can you take me to the place where you saw that thing?"
Xiaochen nodded, and then the two of them came to the alley next to the meat shop.
"Well, that's where I saw that thing. It was just there, buzzing so scary."
Ye Fan walked over and walked around the ground a few times, frowning slightly.
After a long time, he raised his head and said, "Go back first and take good care of your father. Don't do business today. Take your father back to rest for a few days and he will get better."
Xiaochen nodded and turned around. When he was about to leave, he suddenly said: "Hey, is there any danger? You have to be careful, I don't think it is a good thing."
Ye Fan looked up for a moment, then nodded, with something in his heart Warmth.
"Also, what's your name?"
"My name is Ye Fan." Ye Fan said generously.
"Oh, I remember. I'll leave now. You should be careful. If you come to our house to eat in the future, I will give it to you for free. You can eat as much as you want. This is not a king's meal."
Ye Fan looked at Xiaochen's back and said to himself: "She is still a little girl."
Then the giant beetle Xiaofei appeared next to Ye Fan. It had specially reduced its size. Otherwise, if it showed its true form, the alley would be bursting.
"Xiaofei, feel the atmosphere here, look. See if the aura on this scale is the same. "
Xiao Fei, the ancestor of insects, nodded, and then sniffed the black scales that Ye Fan took out, then fully unfolded his wings and carapace, feeling the breath in this alley.
After a while, Xiao Fei Returned to normal state, and then passed a message into Ye Fan's mind:
"I can feel that that thing did stay here, although it was only for a very short time, and there was not much residual breath, but I am very It must have been in this place for a while, and I smelled injury. "
Ye Fan nodded. It seemed that his previous guesses were correct. The monster bug beast was indeed injured.
"And..."
"Huh? "
"And I also felt a familiar smell, the breath of the devil you killed in the Xuanxu Realm. I think there must be some connection between them. "
Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered what the proud demon son of the demon clan said before he died:
"Just wait, Ye Fan, you can't escape, you can kill me, you Can it destroy the entire demon clan? If I die today, the demons will not let you go, and the Lord of the Three Realms will not let you go either. Just wait to die! "
It seems that the vicious words of the devil before his death are still in his ears, and there is a firm breath in Ye Fan's eyes.
So what if you fight against the entire demon clan, what if you are an enemy of the Lord of the Three Realms? As long as Someone wants to disturb the current peace of Xuanxu Realm, Ye Fan will definitely fight with those dark forces to the end!
Xiao Fei suddenly flapped his wings, and Ye Fan, who was almost connected to his spiritual pet, immediately raised his head.
A green Fei. The bug flew from the sky and landed in front of Xiao Fei. The little green bug waved its tentacles and wings and passed the detected information to Xiao Fei.
"Master! "Xiao Fei's voice transmission was a bit joyful, "The spy I sent out told me that it found traces of the insect beast in the east of the royal city, and it seems that there really is another space-time vortex. "
Ye Fan was also delighted when he heard the news, and immediately asked Xiao Fei to take the green insect and head to the east of the royal city.
Just when Ye Fan left the alley, a black shadow emerged from the ground, and a An eyeball appeared from it. It stared at Ye Fan's back and departure direction for a long time, and then disappeared into the ground.
...
The eastern part of the King's City
Mining City, this is a relatively small part of the Suzaku King's City. It is a remote place. Because a large amount of rare resource deposits were discovered here many years ago, the king at that time ordered the place to be protected and only some special personnel were allowed to enter.
Most of the land here is now under the control of the guarding military. Ordinary people know the ban in the eastern part of the royal city, and generally they will not break the law by coming here.
Ye Fan watched Xiao Fei and the green bug bring him here, and his mind became more guessing. If the insect beast. It seems a bit unwise to appear here.
Because the force protection and personnel guarding here are second only to the palace, if the insect beast makes a big move here, it may be surrounded and killed soon.
"Master. , right here, it said that it saw traces of the insect beast inside, and that the insect beast seemed to be seriously injured, with black scales falling off all the time. "
Ye Fan nodded and walked straight towards the door.
Xiaofei also understood and let the green bug go. It had completed its mission and was naturally useless.
Levels of the Mining City Guards Almost the same level as the generals in the town, but since the town is a guard close to the palace, the official position is slightly higher than that of the guards in the mining city.
When Ye Fan came to the door, someone immediately came out to stop him. Fan didn't say anything. The man recognized Ye Fan as King Bingjian, but he didn't say much, but another guard ran in.
Ye Fan waited quietly.
A middle-aged man wearing an elegant white robe and armor walked out with steady steps. He was a little shocked when he saw Ye Fan.
The man saluted and said: "Tie Ming, the general of the mining town, has met King Bingjian. Do you dare to ask King Bingjian why he came here?"
"I was ordered by the Queen to investigate the suspected death of the general in the town, and now I have traced it here. We need to go in and check."
Tie Ming shook his head: "Then do you have the queen's warrant?"
Ye Fan was stunned, he really didn't have one. Li Xiaonian just asked him to check and didn't give him any warrant.
"Sorry, no one is allowed to enter without the Queen's order!" Tie Ming saw that Ye Fan had no warrant and replied firmly.
"What's wrong? Can't I do the same?" A smiling voice came from behind Ye Fan.
Ye Fan heard who the owner of the voice was, and immediately turned around and said, "Why are you here?"
"I heard from Qian Gong and the others that you taught the guards a lesson on the street, and then followed up on the clues and came to Dongcheng. I knew you must have come to the mining city.”
“The guards were negligent in their duties, and a shopkeeper was almost beaten to death by scoundrels. Fortunately, I was passing by while pursuing clues, so I gave them a lesson and probably beat them all to death.”
"Let's talk about those guards. Since they have neglected their duties and I am the side by side king, I must use my power." Ye Fan smiled slyly.
"It doesn't matter, I heard that those scum should die, otherwise if they are caught, their lives will be worse than death!"
The laws of the Suzaku Kingdom are quite strict. It's okay if you don't break the law. Once you break the law, even if you maliciously hurt someone or rob a girl, you will definitely be severely punished.
Moreover, Li Xiaonian is the queen of the Suzaku Kingdom, and she hates women being bullied the most.
"Mining City Guard General Tie Ming, please pay homage to the Queen!" Tie Ming immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted.
"Get up," Li Xiaonian waved his hand, "Didn't I say it before? King side by side, king side by side, means sitting side by side on the throne with me and governing the country with me. His status is the same as mine. I can enter the mine. Of course he can do it."
"My subordinates just thought that you ordered that no unrelated persons be allowed to enter, so..."
"It doesn't matter, it's okay now that I know. I won't blame you. You do what you usually do." Very good, King Bingjian would not come here normally, but this time the situation is special, so we must make it easier for him." "Yes!" Tie Ming stopped arguing.
"Have you ever said that you and I have equal status? Why don't I remember." Ye Fan asked doubtfully.
"There must be one. Even if it wasn't before, it is now. From now on, you will be the same as the king of this country. King Side by Side just sounds nice after all." Li Xiaonian suddenly showed the shyness of a little woman and said a little coquettishly.
Ye Fan smiled slightly. Since Li Xiaonian said so, he had no intention of refusing.
The two entered the mining city side by side. Tie Ming felt a little embarrassed when he heard the always strong queen say such words. After thinking about it, I decided to keep up with the two of them.
After all, in addition to guarding the mining city, he also had to protect the queen's safety.
"How's it going? How's the investigation going? You've come to the mining city. There must be new progress, right?"
Ye Fan nodded: "Someone saw the monster healing on the street in the middle of the night. I The released insect eyeliner saw the monster here in the mining city. I believe it is not far away from seeing it."
Li Xiaonian nodded thoughtfully, and the two came to a dark mine.
Xiaofei said via voice transmission: "Master, the aura belonging to the black scales is getting stronger and stronger, and I can tell you the smell of blood."
Ye Fan nodded secretly and stared at the black mine.
"You don't want to go in, do you?" Li Xiaonian guessed after seeing Ye Fan's appearance.
Ye Fan hesitated and nodded: "There is the scent of that monster inside. The only way to catch it is to go in."
"But..."
"Queen, King Bingjian, I advise you not to go into this mine. ." Tie Ming's voice came.
"Why?" Li Xiaonian frowned slightly.
"Reply to the Queen, because this mine was not opened by our craftsmen and miners, but appeared suddenly!"
"One night two days ago, a loud noise spread throughout the mining city. I knew something was wrong. , when I rushed here, I discovered that this mine had appeared here,”
“Our craftsmen did not find any clues after preliminary survey of it, and I had no idea, so I had to ask the experienced old miners to go down and investigate. But he never came back..."
Li Xiaonian frowned even more: "It's such a strange thing. There are still people missing. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I have submitted the documents, but there has been no news. My subordinates need to stay here, and I have sent someone to ask. I thought the Queen had seen it, but haven’t you seen it yet?”
Li Xiaonian suddenly came to his senses, feeling a little embarrassed, and Ye Fan also secretly laughed.
Li Xiaonian did not see it, because she was away these days. Even when she came back, she was talking and playing with her parents. She definitely didn't read the documents or anything.
Tie Ming definitely doesn’t know these things.
"I...of course I saw it, so I came here to check it out in person." Li Xiaonian said in a panic.
But soon she regained her majesty as a queen: "So you still want to go down, right?"
Ye Fan still nodded, no matter how dangerous the mine is, since the insect beast is down there, and the insect beast may be involved The devil and the Lord of the Three Realms behind it, Ye Fan, wanted to go down and have a look anyway.
"I knew I couldn't stop you, so I'll go with you!"
"No!" Ye Fan and Tie Ming shouted in unison.
"Queen, you have a body of ten thousand gold. The situation below is unknown. If something happens to you, what do you want the Suzaku Kingdom to do? What do you want the thousands of people to do? I beg you here, please don't go down!" Tie Ming fell to his knees.
Ye Fan nodded: "Tie Ming is right. You can't go down. I can go down alone. I promised you before. No matter what happens, I will be there. You don't need to get involved personally." "Danger."
Li Xiaonian looked at his subordinate's request and Ye Fan's domineering and responsible advice, and had to compromise: "Okay, if something happens to you, I won't let you go! Nothing will happen to you!" "
Ye Fan nodded, and then jumped directly into the mine.
Tie Ming stood up, Li Xiaonian sighed and said nothing.
Ye Fan kept falling, and the shadowless needle appeared in his hand. He had dropped it for a long time. The situation below is still unknown. If anything changes, it will definitely be useful to prepare weapons early.
"Boom——"
Ye Fan landed. Fortunately, nothing happened during the fall.
Xiao Jin's voice suddenly sounded: "Master, be careful, there is a strange smell here, and as far as I know there are no mineral deposits!"
Ye Fan became more vigilant when he heard what Xiao Jin, who was good at prospecting, said.
He took out a luminous pearl from his arms and walked forward with the light shining on it.
Along the way, Ye Fan saw the corpses of many underground animals, and there were even bones of birds and beasts! and some mummified insects.
These must be the handiwork of that monster bug beast.
Ye Fan suppressed the discomfort in his heart and continued to walk forward. Suddenly something was kicked under his feet. He looked down and saw that it was a human hand bone!
Ye Fan picked it up, then raised his head and looked forward. A black shadow flashed past, and blood dripped on the land in front of Ye Fan.
"This is human blood, but I also smell blood that does not belong to humans." Xiao Fei said via voice transmission.
The shadow of the Chaos Sword had appeared in Ye Fan's hand. He threw away the hand bones that should have belonged to the old miner and prepared for the battle.
A strong wind came, with a fierce wind, and it almost cut off Ye Fan's head, but Ye Fan's perception made him lower his head at the last moment and avoided this sneak attack.
"Whoosh, whoosh, rustling--" The sound of the beast's breathing and scratching came out, which was particularly clear in this quiet underground mine.
Ye Fan knew that the insect beast he had been tracking for a long time was right in front of him, so he smashed the luminous pearl in his hand and turned it into a large number of bright fragments that adhered to the wall of the mine.
At this moment, Ye Fan finally saw the full picture of the insect beast:
It was lying on the ground in front of Ye Fan. Its strong body was almost as level as Xiao Fei, with several sharp claws sticking out from the body, and red eyes. Zi stared at Ye Fan, there was a crack and hollow in the center of the body, half of the miner's body was exposed, blood was dripping, and insects were still eating the miner's body.
looks extremely scary!
Although Ye Fan has seen many big scenes, when he saw this obviously alien insect beast, he still felt sick in his heart.
"Xiao Fei, King Kong."
The ancestor of insects immediately showed his original shape and was suspended next to Ye Fan, while the giant King Kong shrunk in size and turned into an adult man about two meters tall, standing next to Ye Fan. forward.
The moment Xiao Fei appeared, the insect beast suddenly retracted a few of its sharp claws. It was obvious that it was frightened and its body had a stress reaction.
After all, Xiao Fei is the ancestor of insects, and he has some bloodline suppression of insect beasts.
Ye Fan was a little surprised. This insect beast was an alien species. Could it be suppressed by Xiao Fei's bloodline?
King Kong's aura is close to that of a human being, and his current body shape is not that of a fifty-meter-tall giant, so it did not frighten the insect beast.
"Master!" King Kong and Xiao Fei said in unison.
"You guys go up and test that guy's strength first."
"Yes!"
King Kong was the first to bear the brunt and came to the insect beast with long strides. It used its sandbag-sized fists to hit the insect beast's red eyes directly. .
The insect beast reacted extremely quickly and pulled its sharp claws forward to block King Kong's fist. At the same time, it spit out a large amount of turbid mucus from the crack in front of it.
King Kong retracted his fist while sideways avoiding the slime attack.
The slime was launched onto the nearby earth wall, quickly corroding the stones above.
King Kong also noticed the horror of slime, and was quite angry at the insect beast's despicable methods.
"Roar——" King Kong beat his chest and let out a deafening roar, then rushed forward and beat the insect beast's body crazily.
Insect Beast did not intend to stop it, and allowed King Kong to beat his body.
It was somewhat beyond Ye Fan's expectation. He originally thought that the insect beast had an important scale removed by the town before it died, and its strength would be affected to some extent.
But now it is allowed to be hit by King Kong, and the insect beast does not make any defense at all.
The black scales on its body are not damaged at all.
While King Kong was still beating crazily, Xiao Fei finally moved. He flew in front of the insect beast and released a large number of blue insects from his body.
Those blue insects were only as big as a little finger. They flapped their wings and flew extremely fast. They arrived in front of the insect beast almost instantly.
The corpses of the miners in the cracks on the insect beast's body have also been devoured. The sound of the bones, flesh and teeth of the insect beast rubbing against each other sounded particularly terrifying in the quiet mine.
The blue insects first flew toward the cracks in the insect beast's body like rapidly falling raindrops. The moment they touched the crack, the body exploded. The insect beast was frightened and retracted several of its sharp claws.
The blue insect is called Explosive Sticky Bomb. It is a special insect that Xiao Fei once conquered. The entire race is produced by an orange queen. As long as the queen does not die, the blue bugs will never run out.
And the orange insect queen is in Xiao Fei's body, almost integrated with Xiao Fei.
The blue bugs act as suicide squads. They rush desperately into the cracks in the body of the alien bug beast, hoping to cause damage to its internal body.
This method was Ye Fan's decision. When he saw the crack, he realized that it might be the weakness of the insect beast's body, so he immediately asked Xiao Fei to attack.
When the Night Pearl shattered, Ye Fan saw a flash of green light, which came from a circle around the crack.
Combined with the green flesh and blood connected to the black scales that Ye Fan pulled out from Quanzhen at that time, and the insect beast that Xiaochen saw healing in the middle of the night.
Ye Fan knew that the crack must be a place that the insect beast should protect, that is, its weakness.
"General of the town, I still have to rely on you." Ye Fan sincerely admired the general of the town who could leave important information before his death. Without the black scale he picked off, Ye Fan would still have to make several detours.
It may take a long time to fight before the insect beast's weakness is discovered.
The explosive sticky bomb rushed towards the crack like a blue torrent, but the insect beast handled it very well, and almost no blue insect entered the crack. The explosion only occurred on the periphery.
cannot harm the internal organs of the insect beast at all.
The King Kong on the other side was attacked by four sharp claw spikes. Although he blocked it with both hands, he was still stabbed. After roaring angrily, he immediately backed away and left the vicinity of the insect beast.
The insect beast trembled violently, its red eyes filled with evil light, and suddenly turned back, and its red eyeball instantly turned into a green eyeball.
"Shua——"
Green light as thick as an arm shot out from the eyes, directly destroying a large number of blue insects, and then pointed directly at Xiao Fei's body.
Xiao Fei's carapace shrank rapidly, blocking the green light, but the power of the insect beast continued, washing over Xiao Fei's carapace.
"Click——"
A crack appeared on the surface of Xiao Fei's carapace.
Ye Fan, who realized that Xiao Fei and King Kong were invincible to the insect beast, immediately shouted, and the Doomsday Blade flew out from behind Ye Fan and slashed towards the green eyeball.
"Hahaha, it's finally my turn to appear. Master, master, why don't you let me out earlier? This monster may be solved soon."
"You talk a lot, go up and deal with that guy." Ye Fan smiled bitterly and said that he knew that Doomsday Blade was a talker and always talked nonsense before a fight, but Ye Fan couldn't do anything to him every time.
"Hahaha, I understand."
The red light appeared behind the Doomsday Blade. It brought a stream of light and afterimage behind it, and immediately cut off the green ray, and also used the characteristics of its own body to bounce the green light. go back.
The insect beast hit by the green light was not seriously injured. It is not optimistic to say that it was not damaged at all.
The Doomsday Blade howled excitedly, rushed towards the alien insect beast, and pierced the green eye with a speed and force that it could not react to.
"Ah——" A violent and shrill roar resounded throughout the mine.
The green eyeball of the insect beast was blinded, and green pus flowed out, dripping on the ground, corroding the gravel on the ground.
The insect beast immediately used its sharp blade to slash forward, trying to cut off the Doomsday Blade.
But the Doomsday Blade, a peerless weapon made of Doomsday Black Iron, would not be cut off by this biological weapon.
The Doomsday Blade became even more excited when it saw the incoming sharp blade. It used its body to cut open the lower part of the insect beast's body.
When the insect beast couldn't bear the pain anymore and started to go berserk, the Doomsday Blade pulled out his body from the insect beast's body.
The Doomsday Blade did not break away, but cut off all the insect claws when facing them.
