Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 292 Suppression
The next day.
After Xu Shen was ready, he left the black light area.
He left in a very secretive manner and no one knew about it. Even close people like Lou Haiyin were not told by Xu Shen.
It's not that I suspect they have a traitor within, but I simply think it's unnecessary.
Xu Shen did not wait until the third day of the three-day deadline given by the Queen Ant because he was worried that the Night Rat King might have spies in the Snow Palace. If he really waited until the third day, he would be walking into a trap if there was an ambush in the Nightingale District.
It would be better to sneak in ahead of time and catch them off guard.
Nightingale District, Emerald Manor.
One after another, figures passed through the walls of the manor, walked straight into the manor, and gathered in a building.
They emerged from the ruins and sat on chairs in the hall.
Soon, everyone arrived.
"We received news from the Snow Palace that the Queen Ant sent a captain of her personal guard to investigate us. The King ordered us to assassinate to prevent the situation in Area 6 of the West Wall from being discovered."
The middle-aged man sitting on it had fierce eyes and spoke coldly.
"Does it take so many of us to mobilize a mere captain of the personal guard?" An old man on the right asked doubtfully, "I heard that two Ruins God Cannons were also dispatched. Isn't this a bit exaggerated?"
"Humph, Old Yue, you've been enjoying yourself for too long, and the news is long out of date."
The young man on the left snorted coldly, "From what I understand, this captain of the personal guard is not a simple person. Not only does he control the Black Light District, he also secretly controls the Sleepless District. He has dealt with the captains of the Fourth Division and heard that he has even subdued them into slaves. He was ordered to come here to investigate this time. He has the resources of two districts in his hands. How many people do you think he will bring with him?"
"Um?"
The old man was shocked. Is this true?
When the other people who were not in the know heard this, their faces changed slightly, and the casual indifference in their eyes turned into solemnity.
I originally thought it was an overreaction, but now it seems that there is nothing wrong with this deployment.
If all the second-stage soldiers from the two districts followed the captain of the guards and sneaked in, the number of people they have here might not be enough.
No wonder the assistance of the Xushen Cannon is needed.
If the other party came to infiltrate and investigate, it would be impossible for them to bring such heavy weapons.
"Well, I mean..."
A woman who looked weak and charming said softly, "If that's the case, then the number of people we have here... isn't it too small?"
If they wanted to surround and kill a captain of the royal guards, the 12 people gathered here would naturally be more than enough.
But the other party controls the two states of the two zones, and their number is several times theirs.
Adding two Xushen cannons... is still a bit stretched!
How many shots should be fired to kill one person?
Moreover, once the position of the Xushen Cannon is exposed, the enemy will surely rush forward regardless of everything.
After hearing her words, the others' eyes became more serious. It was indeed the case.
I thought it was an easy job, but it turned out to be... a bit difficult.
"The other party is mainly investigating and may not call in a large number of people. Don't forget, this is our king's territory. As long as the other party is not stupid, they will use stealth as a target. And what does stealth require? Fewer people and faster efficiency!"
"Good at stealth, but not very strong in head-on confrontations"
Someone said, "So I guess they won't bring too many people, and their number will most likely not exceed ours. When the time comes, the others will hold them back, and we can use the Ruins God Cannon to aim at the captain of the guards and kill him first. The others will just be scattered."
"good."
Han Hu, the burly middle-aged man sitting on the seat, nodded and said, "I will hold the captain of the guards back, and Li Biao and Xiao Ming will assist me."
The two people in the crowd nodded slightly.
In the corner, there was a person with a gloomy face. He said nothing, but his eyes flickered as if he was thinking about something.
"If there are no problems, get ready to set off and make arrangements in advance. I have already contacted the intelligence point in the Black Light District to investigate the whereabouts of the captain of the guard. He has received an order from the Queen Ant and has a deadline of three days. He should arrive the day after tomorrow." Han Hu said.
Everyone looked at each other and had no objection.
At this time, an old man in the corner hesitated and said slowly: "Well, I have a piece of news, but I don't know if I should tell you."
"Stop talking nonsense and just say what you want to say." Another young man with a bad temper said dissatisfiedly.
The old man gave him a gloomy look, then turned to Han Hu and said, "I don't know if you've heard about it, but the situation of the captain of the personal guard is... a little complicated."
"Why is it complicated?" Han Hu frowned, and felt that the other party was a little slow in speaking.
"This man's name is Xu Shen. Do you know how he conquered the Black Light District?" the old man asked again.
Everyone looked at him silently, and no one responded.
The old man seemed not to notice the rage in everyone's eyes, and continued slowly, "The garrison troops in the Black Light District have four Xushen Cannons, as does the Sleepless District, but they were still suppressed by him. Guess why?"
"Just say it!" Han Hu said unbearably.
"The Xushen Cannon is ineffective against him." This time the old man didn't say anything more and just said it directly.
Hearing his words, everyone was stunned.
The Xushen Cannon is ineffective?
"How is this possible? Are you kidding?" Someone looked at him in astonishment.
The old man asked back, "Why else do you think he was able to suppress two districts? From what I know... he might be a hidden king."
"king?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyelids twitched violently.
These two words are like sharp swords from ghosts and gods, and they are extremely intimidating.
"Are you kidding? If he is the king, can the queen ant command him? Is he willing to obey the queen ant?" someone couldn't help but ask.
The old man sighed and said, "It's possible that it's a shadow ability, good at hiding, and the queen ant was fooled. It's very likely that the other party wants to see our king and the queen fight, and then benefit from it after both are injured, so he has been hiding."
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
Is this a yellow bird monster?
"Is your source of information reliable?" Han Hu frowned. He felt that the other party was just telling stories and exaggerating.
"It was reported from the Black Light District Intelligence Station." The old man replied.
Han Hu's expression changed slightly and he said nothing more.
He looked around at everyone in the hall, his eyes flickering, and suddenly, he felt a sense of enlightenment.
The hall was as quiet as death, and no one said a word.
After a long while, someone hesitantly said, "How about we report this to the king first and let him make the decision?"
Han Hu was waiting for this sentence and nodded slightly: "This matter can be considered."
When others saw him express his opinion, they all quickly joined in.
Han Hu made a decision immediately: "Then let's report to the king first, and then we can prepare for the ambush."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
After all, this news is too scary.
Although they are numerous, they are nothing in front of the king.
No one wants to die in vain.
Moreover, according to the information they had obtained previously, they also felt that this task was too difficult, so difficult that it was a bit like... giving it away in vain.
"It's no fun for you guys to do this."
A sigh was heard.
"What else can we do? Are you so stubborn?" someone asked back, but after saying that, he looked in the direction where the voice came from, only to find that the person who spoke was not there.
Everyone was stunned and looked around the hall.
At this time, a figure quietly appeared in the center of the hall and stood in front of the people who were discussing.
"It would be great to ambush you. I won't let you ambush us. Why do you have to report it?" Xu Shen was helpless. He originally just wanted to eavesdrop on some information and leave, but he was forced to do it.
How rude...
Looking at Xu Shen who appeared out of nowhere, everyone was stunned. Then their pupils shrank and they all stood up in horror. Some people even knocked over their chairs in a panic, causing them to hit the ground with a loud bang.
Han Hu above suddenly stood up and looked at Xu Shen in shock and anger.
Appearing out of thin air?
How is that possible!
There were perception systems present, but they were not detected?
Shadow? Or... King!
Thinking of what the old man just said, everyone felt their hearts contract violently, as if the blood was flowing backwards and their throats were unable to breathe.
"Sit down, everyone sit down."
Xu Shen acted like a host, entertaining the customers. He raised his hand and pressed it, then said to Han Hu: "What do you mean by the situation in area 6?"
Cold sweat had already seeped out of Han Hu's forehead, and he stared at Xu Shen closely: "Are you the king?"
"No." Xu Shen shook his head.
Han Hu just breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately tensed up again. This must be a lie.
"Are you the captain of the guard?" Han Hu asked.
Xu Shen nodded.
Everyone's heart sank. They were just discussing how to ambush others, but it turned out that others had already eavesdropped on everything in the deep ruins.
"Don't do anything small..." Xu Shen sighed softly.
A lot of black silk suddenly appeared on his shoulders, and then the ground under his feet was dyed red. A lot of blood flowed down his trouser legs, covering the floor of the hall, and blood flowed.
A tuft of black hair suddenly shot out, pulling the two bodies of the two forms over and falling into the blood.
The communicator in one of them dropped and fell into the blood and sank.
The other person had an ugly expression on his face and his body was shaking.
"Brother, can I eat it?" Hei Xue's little face came out from behind his shoulder and looked at Xu Shen flatteringly.
Xu Shen nodded slightly.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The black hair was like a sword, instantly piercing through the two second-states on the ground. The opponent had just activated his ability, but before it could take effect, he was killed.
Then the black hair wrapped around their bodies and penetrated into their mouths, noses and ears. Slowly, the two bodies of the two dimorphs withered and shrank, while a hint of blush passed over Kuroyuki's little face.
This scene made other people's scalps tingle and their souls frightened.
"Let's kill them together!"
Some people were so frightened that their minds were about to collapse, and they turned around and ran away with a roar.
But the blood on the ground suddenly extended and turned into a bloody hand, grabbing his body and then dragging it into the blood.
The opponent activated his ability, and lightning wrapped around his whole body, but it did not cause much damage to the blood. The lightning extended along the blood to Xu Shen's feet and then went out dimly.
The man was dragged into the blood, and was like a stone sinking into the sea. The blood, which was only a thin layer covering the ground, stuck to his body like glue. The more he struggled, the faster he sank. It was as if there were countless tiny sharp teeth in the blood. When his body, which was stuck to the blood, was pulled up, the flesh and blood were torn apart, revealing his white bones.
On the other side, someone saw the opportunity and also launched a sprint.
Four people fled, rushing in different directions.
But the next moment, the blood on the ground rolled back, turning into blood arrows and palms, grabbing in different directions.
The four were either shot through or caught in the blood and dragged back.
The ferocious and powerful second state was like a baby's toy in front of the A-level ruins, with no power to struggle at all.
Someone showed despair in his eyes and rushed towards Xu Shen brazenly.
The long black hair swept over and wiped out the opponent directly in mid-air.
Xu Shen suddenly felt signs of festering in his body, and his whole body felt numb and itchy. He glanced around and saw a woman at the back of the hall quietly using her abilities. This seemed to be a long-range ability with some special curse effect.
But soon, the signs of ulceration disappeared.
Ling Lu secretly took action to purify and erase the strange condition on Xu Shen's body.
The woman's face suddenly changed and she turned around and tried to escape.
The black silk quickly extended out, wrapped up its body, and twisted it into several sections.
In a blink of an eye, all those who tried to escape in the hall were killed.
There were originally 12 people, but now only three are left.
The old man in the corner, Han Hu, and another woman dressed like a mature lady.
This noblewoman was wearing cool silk stockings and a gauze-like bust, but her face was pale and she seemed terrified.
"Tell me about it."
Xu Shen said to Han Hu.
Han Hu's body trembled slightly. If he didn't know that Xu Shen's target was always on him, he would have chosen to run away.
"I, I didn't know..." Han Hu said tremblingly.
"once."
Xu Shen scratched his ears and said, "You lost one chance, but you still have two more."
Han Hu's face was as ugly as a pig's liver. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Area 6 can be detonated at any time to open it up and bring in the ruins outside the wall. A passage has been built over there, and the brought in ruins will follow the bait along the way and enter the Queen Mother Area..."
"Channel, bait..."
You don't need to ask to know what this bait is.
Xu Shen narrowed his eyes slightly. This Night Rat King was quite good at using external forces, even at the cost of tearing down the wall.
"Are these the only external aids for the Night Rat King? Are there other kings to partner with him?" Xu Shen asked.
Han Hu was about to cry. His burly body was like a bear with its chest hunched and its back hunched. He trembled and said, "I really don't know about this."
"twice."
Han Hu thumped his feet and knelt down in front of Xu Shen: "I am willing to follow you. You can ask me to do anything, but I really don't know these. I swear to the Moon Lord..."
"What else do you know?" Xu Shen asked.
Han Hu said quickly: "I know the intelligence station in the Nightingale District and the intelligence station in the outer district. In addition, we have people in the Queen Mother District. I don't know their specific identities, but I know the code for identity matching."
Xu Shen shook his head slightly, "They are all useless. It's too simple to think that a few intelligence stations can save their lives."
Han Hu's face turned pale, and he said, "I, I know that the Night Rat King left the city recently and is not here."
"oh?"
This is an important piece of news. Xu Shen asked, "Where did you go?"
"I heard that he went outside the wall, maybe to Yinxu." Han Hu said.
Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly, and he thought: "Then do you know where his lair is built here, and how many troops are there?"
"I know that too." The old man in the corner said hurriedly.
Han Hu glared at the old man angrily and said to Xu Shen hurriedly: "I know, I can take you there."
"Okay." Xu Shen prepared to take them to explore the Night Rat King's lair.
At this moment, Xu Shen suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm.
When I looked down, I saw a scar on my wrist.
