Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 259: Ant Army
Really...right?
Xu Shen looked at Maeve who was so close to him, and seemed to be able to smell the scent of incense on her body, mixed with the faint scent of grass.
She is indeed very different from other girls...
"What about you and Kuroyuki?"
Kuroyuki asked with a pout beside her.
Maeve glanced at her briefly.
Kuroyuki's black hair suddenly became messy, like a cat with its fur standing on end. The sudden and strong sense of danger made her feel as if she was on the edge of an abyss.
Is it...sister?
There was a hint of fear in Kuroyuki's eyes as he looked around.
"Kuroyuki has to be well-behaved and obedient, then her brother will like her." Xu Shen said.
Hei Xue came back to her senses and looked at Xu Shen. The feeling of danger was only for a moment and has now disappeared, but it pierced into her heart like a cold light.
She looked at Xu Shen's gentle eyes and pursed her lips slightly. She felt aggrieved but did not dare to vent.
Xu Shen calmed Hei Xue down and went to the roof.
A gentle breeze blew, and Maeve sat beside him like a girl next door. The two of them seemed like childhood friends.
A smile appeared on Xu Shen's face involuntarily. He sat quietly for a moment. Although there was no verbal communication between the two, there was still an indescribable feeling of warmth.
Soon, Xu Shen's thoughts turned to the queen ant.
I thought of the Xuhai she mentioned.
Xu Shen silently communicated with the mysterious crystal in his mind. The next moment, his consciousness extended out, as if it was separated from his body and soared into the sky thousands of feet high.
The bright sun shines down, and star-like balls of light surround it.
Xu Shen looked over and saw three balls of light glowing, but the orange ball of light was dim.
Xu Shen hadn't been here for a long time, and his arrival attracted the attention of the other three.
They were accustomed to rare guests like Xu Shen. After all, according to the intelligence, Xu Shen was the king.
Like other kings, Xu Shen has a short online time and remains mysterious, which they can understand.
"Number 10, you're here."
When No. 5 saw No. 10, she quickly greeted him with a sweet girlish voice.
She had previously exchanged Xu soldiers with Xu Shen and owed him a favor, which she never had the chance to make up for. Besides, Xu Shen was the king, so it would be best if she could maintain a good relationship with him.
"Where is number 3?" Xu Shen asked.
"No. 3 hasn't been here for a long time."
The one who answered was Wolf Leader No. 7. He said, "Some time ago, No. 3 bought a large amount of arms from me. I guess he had a fight with someone in real life. Maybe something went wrong. What a pity."
When he said this, his words were full of regret.
It is a shame to lose such a patron.
Xu Shen was surprised and asked, "Didn't No. 3 say that he opened a detective agency and never participated in wars?"
The wolf leader was speechless and said, "She may say it, but it can't be taken seriously. Unless you are a king, you may be replaced."
Even if the king's identity is exposed and people know the number of the secret spiritual space, he still has the power to protect himself, unless he is surrounded and attacked .
But the value of the spiritual secrets is not enough to make many kings take action to encircle and suppress it. After all, the spiritual secrets in the world today are incomplete and too far away from the legend.
Xu Shen felt a little regretful. He used to be annoyed by the detective's woman, but now that he didn't see her, he missed her a little.
After all, she would take the initiative to help me answer many secrets...
"Are you interested in going to Xuhai?" Xu Shen asked calmly.
"Xu Hai?"
No. 5 was surprised, and his voice changed into that of a child: "Is this the Ruins Sea that only the king can dive into? I heard that there are A-level ruins everywhere there, it is a world of ruins..."
The world of ruins...
Xu Shen's pupils were slightly chilled.
Xuhai is Xu's world?
Isn't the world they live in one where humans and ruins coexist?
Or is it that only a small number of people came to the ruins of the human world...
The Queen Ant ventured to the Sea of Ruins now... Why?
"Yes, you seem to know a lot about it?" Xu Shen put away the thought in his mind and asked in a casual tone with interest.
No. 5 chuckled and said, "I've seen it in a secret letter. I only have a slight understanding of it. I only know that it is the origin world of the ruins. There are ruins everywhere. It is extremely dangerous. Only the king can barely survive in it."
"Such a dangerous place , you still want to go on the 10th?"
The leader wolf was obviously hearing about Xu Hai for the first time and was a little surprised and confused.
Isn't this equivalent to walking into a wolf's den?
No. 5 showed off, "You don't understand this. Although the Ruins Sea is dangerous, it also hides mythical treasures. I heard that there are nearly complete Ruins Soldiers... and ancient secret arts. The ancestors of the seven major families in the inner city were all kings who returned from expeditions in the Ruins Sea. That's how they established their solid foundation."
The leader wolf suddenly realized and looked at Xu Shen with some envy.
Although it is dangerous, the things No. 5 said are exciting just to think about!
A nearly complete Xu Bing... this is a divine weapon!
If the human world wants to piece it together, it will be extremely difficult even with the power of the seven major families!
If you can get one by going to Xuhai, it will be worth the risk.
"So, if those kings go together to explore the Sea of Ruins, wouldn't they be able to continue to grow stronger... No wonder the rich get richer, the strong get stronger, and the weak get weaker." The wolf leader said with a wry smile.
No. 5 sighed, "The Ruins Sea contains huge wealth, but it's a pity that we can't enter. Kings need to travel with companions. It's very risky to explore the Ruins Sea alone. But then again, although traveling with companions seems safe, after finding a nearly perfect Ruins Soldier... I'm afraid it will be more dangerous than being alone."
The leader wolf nodded. Since it was a treasure hunt, there would inevitably be fights, so it would be better to be alone.
No wonder Xu Shen asked them... Want them to be pathfinders?
Thinking of this, both of them looked at Xu Shen.
No. 5 asked tentatively: "No. 10, do you have a way to take us into the Xuhai?"
"You want to go?"
Xu Shen didn't answer, but instead threw the question to the other party.
No. 5 choked, thought for a moment and said with a wry smile: "I am weak, and I would be a burden if I go, so I'd better not go. "
Although he had said before that he would repay Xu Shen's favor, he didn't say that he would repay it with his life.
The leader of the wolves also said quickly: "I am busy with business, and I am not good at hiding my abilities. I could easily become a burden."
"That's a bit regrettable." Xu Shen said with regret.
"Maybe you can ask No. 1 and the others." No. 5 suggested cautiously.
Xu Shen was about to deny it, when suddenly the dark red light ball of No. 1 lit up, and it was actually online.
"Um?"
No. 1 glanced around and saw the glowing No. 10. He was quite impressed by No. 10 and said, "No. 10, are you interested in exploring the Zhenxu Monument again?"
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows and immediately thought of what happened in West City. He heard that there was also a town monument there. What happened last time... Was there a problem with the town monument there?
"Sorry, I'm busy lately." Xu Shen said.
"No. 10 plans to go to Xuhai." No. 5 said unnecessarily.
No. 1 also expected that Xu Shen would not be willing to go to the Zhenxu Monument. After all, the situation he understood was a bit complicated, and he himself was unwilling to show up in person.
"Xu Hai?" No. 1 was a little surprised. As far as he knew, Xu Shen should be the king of Termite City... After all, the little guy who was entrusted to him to save last time was from Termite City.
Afterwards he sent someone to investigate, and they turned out to be subordinates of the Light Chasing Society they had established in Termite City.
Such a small person actually made No. 10 use his favor. He suspected that it was a bait deliberately thrown by the other party.
"Are you planning to go to Xuhai?" No. 1 asked, but he was confused in his heart. Termite City seemed to be a bit chaotic recently, and this unrest might be related to No. 10. After all, there were only two kings in Termite City... unless a third king was secretly born someday.
"Um."
Xu Shen nodded and said casually: "Do you want to go together?"
No. 1 thought that this was a secret. He wondered what kind of compensation the queen ant sold to Termite City would get.
She might be quite interested...
He smiled and shook his head at Xu Shen's invitation, saying, "I won't go. It takes at least three months to go in and out of Xuhai. It's too long. I have a lot of things to do recently."
"Three months?"
Xu Shen was stunned. Is there such a rule in Xuhai?
But he didn't ask any further questions, he just said, "Okay then."
After saying that, he said goodbye and went offline.
Seeing Xu Shen leave, No. 1 asked No. 5, "Did No. 10 talk to you about Xu Hai as soon as he came here?"
"Yeah." No. 5 responded, not knowing whether to say more.
"oh?"
No. 1 was a little surprised. The Xuhai was a secret known only to the king. Xu Shen was chatting with these two states... Could it be that he was trying to find out?
"Number 10 wants to invite us to Xuhai." The wolf leader said flatteringly, answering Number 1's words.
The slight doubt in No. 1's heart suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by shock. He asked: "He invited you to Xuhai? Only the king can sneak into Xuhai..."
"No. 10 seems to have a solution." No. 5 added immediately after seeing that the leader had already said it.
No. 1's eyes changed and his heart was shaken. Who is this No. 10?
He can actually let the two states sneak into the Ruins of Sea. Is this his ability, or some unknown means?
After a long silence, No. 1 did not say anything and went offline directly.
Compared to No. 5 who only knew a little bit of the news, No. 1 knew more clearly how shocking it was to bring the two-state troops into Xuhai. This meant that Xu Shen could continuously transport two-state troops to Xuhai to serve as cannon fodder for him and explore many dangerous areas.
Although a large number of binary forms will be sacrificed, it is enough to show that Xu Shen will have more advantages than them in exploring the Ruins Sea!
The advantages of exploring the Ruins of Sea will directly affect the growth rate of the king.
"Is he planning to go to Xuhai to find a nearly perfect Xu soldier and then help the Jiang family?" In a manor somewhere, a burly and tall figure appeared with a melancholy look in his eyes.
…
…
Xu Shen exited the mysterious spiritual world and returned to the roof.
"Three months... So, the Queen Ant will not be able to come back for three months after going to Xuhai?!"
Xu Shen's eyes were shocked, this news was too secret, only he knew it.
If the queen ant had not happened to pass by him and happened to be talking to her white horse... no one would know where the queen ant had gone.
It is not surprising that the queen ant would leave the Snow Palace, after all, she can come back at any time.
Even the Queen Ant's departure from the Snow Palace could be a cover-up, making it impossible to test the truth.
If the person who was fighting with the Queen Ant knew that the Queen Ant had entered the Ruins Sea, the entire Termite City would probably be turned upside down!
Three months is enough to accomplish a lot of things, even enough to demolish and rebuild the City Lord's Mansion!
This kind of news must not be leaked... Xu Shen's eyes flashed. He didn't expect the queen ant to be so bold. She dared to act like this in such an extraordinary period. Could it be that she was very sure that she could gain something in the Xu Sea?
Otherwise, if you get hurt... wouldn't that be even worse!
Xu Shen couldn't figure it out, but he knew that the information he currently had was limited and there was no need to analyze it further.
These three months are also an opportunity for him!
Xu Shen returned to the room, took out the advanced purifying agent, injected it and absorbed it, and then began to conceive the layout.
Xu Shen believed that the queen ant would not easily leak such secret information, and might not even tell her closest people.
The entire Termite City is now in a state of being defended by no king.
In the past, with the queen ant in charge, many things could be exposed at any time. But now it is different. All actions only need to be buried after the queen ant comes back, and all those who know about it can be killed. In this way, a big net of their own can be buried under the surface of this termite city!
The next day.
Xu Shen walked out of the room, and this time, he took Hei Xue with him.
"Now you can stay with your brother." Xu Shen said to Hei Xue.
Kuroyuki was overjoyed: "Brother is so nice, aren't you afraid of that bad woman?"
"The bad woman is gone." Xu Shen said with a smile.
Hei Xue was even happier, jumping around Xu Shen. Only Maeve was very quiet, just looking up at the fog above her head from time to time, with a strange look of evil taste occasionally revealing in her eyes.
Xu Shen came to the Xu Secret Bureau and sent a message to ask Bishop Xue Mei and others to come.
Soon, six people of the second state gathered in the Xumi Bureau.
In addition, Feng Qing, Lin Xiao and others also gathered in the director's office.
"Follow me to garrison the military headquarters today." Xu Shen instructed everyone, asking Xue Mei and others to change their clothes, as they needed to go there with the "formal" identity of the Xumi Bureau.
After all, the Black Light Cult is not a force under the command of the Queen Ant.
Seeing Xue Mei and others, Lin Xiao, Feng Qing and others' faces changed slightly, and they were a little shocked. In just one night, there were 4 more two-state people around Xu Shen!
Lou Haiyin and Xia Jingxiang knew about it, but these four two-state people were strangers.
Obviously, this was Xu Shen’s original “friend” in the Heiguang District.
Having seen Xu Shen's abilities during the captain election, they were able to accept the fact that Xu Shen had such a "friend".
Soon, everyone finished changing their clothes.
Get on the car of the Xumi Bureau and head to the garrison military headquarters in the Heiguang District.
Before setting off, Xu Shen injected himself with a high-level purifying agent. He injected it on time every day. At this rate, he would reach the second state limit in two months.
soon.
A column of vehicles drove into the suburban military base.
There is no human habitation within dozens of miles here, it is a military base.
Xu Shen had already learned from the intelligence from the Snow Palace that there were 3,000 garrison troops in the Black Light District!
They are all initial states!
There are 28 bits in the binary state.
That’s right, the data of the second state alone exceeds that of more than half of the Royal Guards.
And this is just the military headquarters of one of the six major districts.
This is the real elite force under the Queen Ant!
This is also the reason why forces like the Light Chasing Society and the Black Light Cult, even though they are arrogant, dare not show it in public. As long as they offend the Queen Ant, they will be wiped out overnight with one order.
There is a huge gap between the army and private army.
Holding the Golden Ant Order, Xu Shen passed the review of the garrison and entered the military base.
