Volume 2: The Growing Flame Chapter 59: Let’s have a formal conversation!
In the white wood forest, Fang You, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly fell down, and An Jianyou quickly hugged him. She had already called back all the people from one to six, and surrounded them in circles. She was like a rabbit with its hair standing on end, with her eyes wide open, staring at the surroundings.
At this time,
Fang You has used the means of descending, and his consciousness has crossed hundreds of kilometers and entered the body of the illusory spirit. Immediately, this body turned into his shape.
He took a step forward, enveloped in golden light, and looked at the figure with some traces of maggots on his body.
"We meet again."
…
"How come... we meet again!"
Even though it was shrouded in golden light, the maggot priest recognized the figure at a glance.
The humans who ruined his plans!
Damn it! Hate it! Damn it!
He turned around and rushed like a gust of wind into the crowd of investigators who were chasing him not far away.
He didn't attack, but just hid behind the human shadows.
This guy would even threaten people with hostages?
"But don't underestimate me."
"Thunder can be as thick as a thunder python or as thin as a silver thread."
He snapped his fingers and lightning shot out like silk threads, turning into a net in an instant.
A dragnet of heaven and earth!
It shot in between the investigators, trapping the maggot man, and at the same time, threads of lightning passed through and shattered the white plaster that imprisoned the investigators.
The next second,
The net closed, lightning exploded, and under his strong control, the violent thunder energy rushed straight into the sky, forming a blue pillar of lightning.
Fang You was brewing lightning in his palm, preparing for another attack.
But inside the lightning column, the figure revealed its true form composed of countless white maggots, and in the azure lightning, each white maggot was charred, turned into ashes, and shattered.
Already dead.
Died again.
only,
"Master, there is still no kill record."
Fang You also became a little annoyed. He caught a glimpse of the gray fog rolling in his peripheral vision. It opened and closed like a breath, and a huge monster appeared.
It is a three-star evil flesh and blood giant.
He slapped the thunder that was brewing in his palm into the distance.
Boom——!
The sea of thunder swallowed up the flesh and blood giant who had just taken a step forward, as well as other evil spirits around him.
He didn't care, and just said, "Xiao Huan, keep an eye on the other gates to the strange world."
"Yeah, I'm watching."
"We didn't find the maggot man, but just now the gate to the strange world in Shuizezhou erupted with a large-scale gray fog. Comparing it with the previous situation in Yincheng, Xiaohuan is 99.6% sure that the enemy is there."
Fang You looked into the distance.
Soon, it retreated from the descending state and got stuck at the node that was about to descend but had not yet descended, capturing the anchor point of belief.
The next moment,
In the eyes of the investigators who were looking up at the sky, the golden god-like figure gradually faded and disappeared as he took a step forward.
The atmosphere around Silver City's defense line gradually began to boil.
WTF is everywhere.
…
Shuizezhou, on the outskirts of a third-tier small city.
Gray fog filled the air, and monsters emerged one after another.
Pei Hongjing stood on a high platform, the wind whistling through his sleeves. He looked focused, and suddenly slapped the card bag on his waist. With a shout of "Cards coming", grey cards floated up and swirled around him. Then with a light flick of his finger, the cards flew out, exploding in a ball of brilliant fire, blowing the crowd of evil spirits into pieces and throwing their bodies flying.
There were shouts coming from all around.
After this battle, the name of Pei Hongjing, also known as Pei Dong, became completely known in Shuizezhou.
Pei Hongjing had a faint smile on his face, which was typical of a handsome middle-aged man. He suddenly restrained his smile and looked around seriously, scanning every inch.
Because the intensity of the evil tide is not high, they are still at the front line of defense, and they will immediately eliminate any evil that appears.
Very efficient.
The number of evil spirits in the field has remained low, but he did not see any human-like figures.
"What's wrong?" asked the state director.
Pei Hongjing thought for a moment and said, "The gray fog had a very violent breath just now, but no large-scale evil spirits appeared. I wonder if there is something abnormal in it."
The state director was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Pei Hongjing throwing out flying cards. Dozens of cards swirled and scattered, then exploded with a bang in the center of the gray fog.
He just blew it up casually, but it seemed like something really came out of it?
…
The dusty maggot priest was a little confused.
The explosion caused little damage to him, but it caused great psychological trauma.
What on earth is going on in this world?
He had clearly made sufficient preparations, setting up five extra gates to the strange world to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.
He was obviously already very careful, and even controlled some three-star evil spirits outside the main gate to block and guard the altars of flesh and blood.
He had clearly endured the humiliation and carried out a strategic retreat.
He had clearly prepared many backup plans, and had sacrificed a lot of his body and fled to another area, another other area.
but why……
As soon as you go out, you get blasted again?
The maggot priest looked up at the sky, feeling very confused.
A figure shrouded in golden light gradually appeared in the confused eyes.
He is here.
Sure enough, he caught up with me.
Why he could chase after him across thousands of miles was incomprehensible even with the perspective of a maggot priest. There was no way for him to understand it. He had already given up and was lying down.
No more running away! But...
“Hiss… This priest… will definitely… come back here again!”
He remembered it.
The next moment, lightning fell and engulfed his figure.
…
〔bite!〕
[Hint: Kill the incarnation of "Throne-level Maggot Priest", mysterious value +15, obtain "Skill Training Card", "Strange Crystal" and a random small treasure chest (white).]
[Hint: Kill the maggot man's sacrificial incarnation to obtain the trick weapon "Maggot Body (Blue)".]
Fang You glanced and shook his head slightly.
It's just a useless weapon.
It can form a maggot man incarnation, and the effect is roughly similar to that of maggot man sacrifice. The ability is not bad, but the side effects are a bit scary.
If used for a long time, maggots will grow on the user's body. As time goes by, the number of maggots will increase until the entire body is eaten clean.
It’s chilling to think about it.
Compared to this strange weapon, he was more curious about what the throne level was.
He glanced downward, the golden light faded, and his consciousness returned to his body.
…
Within the borders of Donghuang, six battlefields gradually came to an end.
In the north, one of the battlefields.
Ilohi stood on the high platform and looked into the distance. A hint of paleness gradually appeared at the end of the sky. The darkness had passed and dawn was coming.
At dawn, people were busy working, and many were looking up at her heroic figure.
She put her hands on her hips and posed for a long time before jumping down from the platform . She brushed off the non-existent dust on her body and walked towards the head of the investigation bureau.
As a representative of the Evil Hunters, she will next negotiate with the Investigation Bureau about her remuneration.
Hunters who join the Hunter Association can get extra points on top of the basic mission rewards, which can be used to redeem some non-sale items.
Even those who did not join the association received a generous reward today, and the process was not very dangerous, so they were all smiling.
The one with the highest remuneration was naturally the "Scarlet Witch" Ilosi.
The mission rewards given by the Investigation Bureau are divided into two parts: basic post rewards and contribution rewards for the entire mission. As for the contribution rewards... As the highest kill in the entire field, Iloshi, who single-handedly killed the only two extremely large evil spirits, his reward alone is comparable to the total reward of half of the evil spirit hunters.
Looking at such a huge sum of money coming in, and seeing Iloxi having achieved financial freedom at a young age... they dare not be jealous, but they can't help but envy her.
At this time, Yi Luoxi waved her hand and said, "I have reserved the entire Pei's Hotel. I will pay for all the consumption today. Let's celebrate the victory and have fun together!"
The eyes of the evil hunters who were chasing lemons gradually lit up.
Hey, it’s not that they are greedy and want free food. How can they refuse the invitation from the powerful Scarlet Witch?
Go, go, all of you!
The group happily rushed to Pei's Hotel.
…
At this point, the war has come to an end, but there is still work to do, including battlefield cleaning, hunter reward payment, information statistics, intelligence compilation, etc.
There is still a lot of work for the Bureau.
Huang Hongtian has returned to the State Investigation Bureau of Yunling State to rest for a while.
He handed over all the above tasks to other people. For him, there were more important things that required him to think about and make decisions at the moment.
"It was definitely not a coincidence that the six gates of hell opened at the same time this time."
"The mastermind behind this is that figure, a figure made up of countless white bugs. He is intelligent and can control evil spirits, and... he can transform into a human! He also seems to have learned our Donghuang language!"
He shuddered at the thought of an insect man transforming into a human and blending into human society.
Bug man!
Six disaster events in one!
Opposite the Gate of Hell!
Are there other strange creatures that have infiltrated their human society?
"This time, if the powerful man who controls the thunder hadn't appeared, who knows how big a disaster would have occurred."
"He controls thunder and lightning, standing in the clouds, with the power to destroy heaven and earth. With one palm strike, he can create a huge palm print dozens of meters long."
"He walked out of the golden light, ran a thousand miles in the blink of an eye, and brought down thunder. His various abilities were incredible."
Director Huang took up his pen and wrote down what he saw and heard that day.
As part of the archive.
Finally, he wrote down four words - mentor.
"Xinhuo is definitely not as simple as we imagined."
The Rakshasa sitting opposite nodded, this is nonsense.
"So, what are you going to do? Managing the awakened civilians is also the responsibility of your investigation bureau," he said.
Director Huang shook his head. "We can no longer regard them as awakened civilians, nor can we regard them as a powerful civilian organization."
“Perhaps, Xinhuo has never been a non-governmental organization.”
"They call the gate to hell the 'Gate to the Strange World'. They can accurately locate the strange evil, and they are more powerful than you can imagine."
"It is very likely that they know more about evil and various secrets than we do."
Is this possible?
Thinking about everything he had seen today, Luosha felt that perhaps, this was not impossible.
He looked at Director Huang, waiting for what happened next.
Huang Hongtian paused and said, "We need to have a formal conversation with Xinhuo, with that mysterious Xinhuo mentor."
"Now?" Rakshasa asked.
"Not now." Director Huang shook his head. "That instructor and Black Knife disappeared after the battle. We can wait a little longer."
"At present, Xinhuo has spared no effort to deal with Guixie, but we are almost unaware of Xinhuo's purpose, existence, personnel, etc. We only know the surface, which is too passive."
"Before we can have a dialogue, we need to conduct a more in-depth investigation to gain some initiative."
The three figures flashed through Director Huang’s mind.
Lost in thought.
