Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 304: The War Begins
The Minotaur was full of doubts as he followed Hei Xue to the town of Long Yuan. When he saw Xu Shen again with his own eyes, the suspicions in his heart suddenly calmed down.
The flawless body that had been reshaped was quietly soaking in the pool of blood.
But it is an empty shell.
It could tell at a glance that there was no soul power in this body.
In other words, Xu Shen is really dead.
Unless, the body in front of me is a puppet, a test subject.
No matter what, the Minotaur was not in a hurry to turn hostile. Under the expectant gaze of Haijue, Linglu, Heixue and the others, it came to Xu Shen's body.
"Can you regenerate its soul?" Hai Jue stared at it.
"I'll try my best."
The minotaur's eyes flickered. Since Xu Shen was able to grasp its core, he should understand that its ability was not soul regeneration.
The reason why it cannot be killed is mainly because it obtained that magical thing, not its own ability.
In that case, is there any need for Xu Shen to test it?
No need.
Therefore, the Xu Shen in front of us might be the real one.
The guy who could threaten its core was killed just like that... That's great.
The Minotaur was secretly happy, but did not show it on the surface. Instead, he released his soul power to penetrate into Xu Shen's body, and examined it carefully, trying to confirm whether Xu Shen was really dead.
After some exploration, it was completely confirmed.
This is just an empty shell of flesh and blood. Xu Shen is already dead.
"I can't do anything..." The Minotaur shook his head slightly and retracted his strength.
"How is this possible? Isn't your ability to regenerate souls? Can't you let his soul regenerate?!" Kuroyuki's emotions suddenly fluctuated violently, and the expectation in his eyes turned into anger.
The Minotaur looked at it indifferently and said, "I can only regenerate my own soul. If everyone's soul can regenerate, then if my wife and I work together, wouldn't we be able to make all life immortal?!"
Kuroyuki opened her mouth slightly, but was blocked by these words and couldn't say anything.
indeed.
If this is true, with the combination of Sea Lord and Minotaur, won't there ever be another life lost in this world?
But is this possible?
Obviously unlikely.
Because that would mean creating a world with infinite food and infinite prey.
A world without death...maybe even more terrifying!
"Are you worried that he will threaten you if he resurrects?" Kuroxue stared at the Minotaur with a murderous look in his eyes.
The Minotaur raised his eyebrows and said, "So what if you are worried about this? I did try my best. If you don't agree, come and try it. Or, do you want to be eaten?!"
At the end of the speech, its voice became louder and a fierce light appeared in its eyes.
Now that Xu Shen is not here, there is no one to suppress it, and the black snow in front of it is just a delicious meal in its eyes.
It’s not like it hasn’t eaten food of the same level before.
It tastes very good.
All the hair on Kuroxue's body started to stir and spread out in all directions. He stared at the minotaur intently: "Then let's give it a try."
“Try it then, can you kill me?” The Minotaur sneered, a ferocious look in his eyes. His soul power instantly exploded, turning into a powerful impact that swept around.
Kuroxue's hair was shaking violently, offsetting the impact. She stared at the minotaur angrily. Indeed, if Xu Shen was not there, she would have no way to suppress the minotaur.
What's more, even if we can defeat it, we can't kill it.
It's just a waste of your energy.
"Dad, don't be so rude." Ling Lu said.
The minotaur turned his head and stared at her, grinning: "My dear daughter, don't you want to have a good meal? Help me kill it. Such a feast is just enough for our family of three."
Kuroyuki's eyes changed slightly, and he said angrily: "When my brother is resurrected, he will wipe you out!"
"How can you be resurrected after being dead? Do you think your brother is me?" The Minotaur couldn't help but sneer.
Kuroyuki gritted his teeth and said nothing.
"Come on, you have to work hard if you want to eat." The Minotaur said to Haijue and his daughter.
Haijue and Linglu looked at each other and then looked at Heixue.
Kuroxue's face suddenly changed, and she also saw a hint of appetite in the eyes of Haijue and his daughter.
Now that Xu Shen is not here, they are all Daxu, each of them is a lord. If they can eat each other, they will not only enjoy a full meal, but will also be greatly improved and changed.
Such temptation is indeed hard to resist.
"Sister Kuroxue, how about you let us eat you?" Linglu tilted his head and asked obediently.
Kuroyuki's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and he said gloomily: "If it eats it, you will be the next one. Do you really think it will love you?"
"Of course I will love my wife and children, and love them well..." The Minotaur laughed. He pretended to love them in his heart. Wasn't he doing his best as a father and husband?
"It can't kill us." Ling Lu said. She was not afraid of this Minotaur father. Her ability could restrain the other party, and her mother's proliferation ability was extremely strong to save her life. Even if the Minotaur wanted to fight to the death, they could withdraw at any time.
whoosh!
Kuroxue didn't say any more words and instantly transformed into countless black silk threads, attacking in all directions.
"Keep her!" the Minotaur said hurriedly.
But Haijue remained indifferent.
If she took action, she could control the blood river under Longyuan Town. This blood river was like a spider web, enough to completely block and surround Hei Xue, but she just watched Hei Xue leave quietly without taking any action.
The minotaur turned and looked at her angrily, "What are you doing?!"
"If you want to eat her, you can do it yourself."
Facing the angry Minotaur, Hai Jue remained calm and serene, smiling and saying, "As the head of the family, you should be fully responsible for such trivial matters as hunting."
"Is all you do to eat for free?!" the Minotaur said angrily.
"Isn't it your duty to support us?" Hai Jue asked in the same way.
The Minotaur was extremely angry. Hei Xue escaped too fast and transformed into dozens of clones. It was impossible for it to chase him.
"Then let's starve together, or let me fill my stomach first! "
The minotaur stared at Haijue and Linglu with cold eyes.
Ling Lu immediately jumped in front of Hai Jue and said angrily: "Dad, you don't have the ability to get food, and you blame Mom. You are so incompetent."
"Let me start with you, little thing." The minotaur hated Linglu for a long time. If it weren't for Linglu's ability to restrain it, its fifth-level power would be enough to sweep away its own kind.
Even a king can suppress it.
Of course, except for that damn woman from before.
The woman escaped into the past, and its five-fold self-destruction impact had no effect.
"Useless man." When Hai Jue heard the minotaur's words, his gentle and calm eyes turned cold, and his brows slightly frowned, with a hint of disgust and contempt.
"roll!"
The minotaur roared angrily and rushed towards the mother and daughter.
…
…
In the secret bureau.
Lou Haiyin came to the director's office and knocked on the door, but saw only Wei Yan inside, so she asked, "Where's Captain Xu?"
"What's up?"
Wei Yan looked up with a kind expression.
"Well, there are some matters within the church that require Captain Xu to make decisions personally." Lou Haiyin said.
"Captain Xu went to the secret treasure house." Wei Yan said.
Lou Haiyin nodded, said goodbye to Wei Yan, and came to the secret treasure house of the Xumi Bureau.
As soon as she walked past, she felt something was wrong, and the elves beside her were also reminding her that there was an extremely dangerous aura here and asked her to stay away.
Does this danger come from Xu Shen?
This is the Xu Secret Bureau, Xu Shen's territory. Nothing will go wrong here, right?
Lou Haiyin did not listen to the advice, but continued to explore forward. Observing from the ruins, he saw that the secret treasure house was empty and there was no sign of Xu Shen.
"Captain Xu is not here?" Lou Haiyin asked puzzledly.
She searched the surroundings carefully, and everything seemed normal, with no signs of anything unusual.
Lou Haiyin was worried in her heart, but the elf beside her kept reminding her to leave here as soon as possible.
What Lou Haiyin did not see was that in the ruins of the fourth floor of the secret treasure house where she was standing, a ferocious figure had been crawling here at some point. Its body was like a huge skeleton, lying quietly on the ground, as if sniffing something.
The figure took a look at the snacks walking in the third level of the ruins, but the delicious taste he smelled in front of him was stronger.
Instead of choosing to enjoy a snack before the main meal, it crawled towards the delicious smell.
Lou Haiyin didn't find Xu Shen in the secret treasure house. He called him through the communication, but there was no response, so he had to give up.
The next day.
Lou Haiyin, Xue Mei and others contacted Xu Shen one after another, but the communication was still not connected. At this time, they were worried. After all, the war was imminent. Although it seemed that everything was going well, in fact, everything was undercurrent. Would Xu Shen have any accident at this time?
The other side .
The Night Rat King from the Nightingale District came to the Black Light District and traveled through the Holy See and the Secret Bureau where Xu Shen was, but he couldn't find Xu Shen. He was a little surprised. He had previously agreed with Xu Shen to come and inspect the heads of the two secret guards. At the same time, he was also going to take Xu Shen to the place where the information was traded.
But in the end, Xu Shen couldn't be found.
Did he go to the Queen Mother Area?
The Night Rat King immediately found Xu Shen's men to inquire, but learned that his men also did not know Xu Shen's whereabouts.
Xu Shen has lost contact.
This news made the Night Rat King realize that something was wrong.
He immediately went to the Queen Mother Area.
He sneaked in quietly, but saw that the Queen Mother Area was calm and there was no change at all.
He didn't dare to approach the Snow Palace where the Queen Ant was. He asked his men to inquire about the secret guards, but found out that nothing had happened to the secret guards recently.
Xu Shen did not come to hunt the secret guards.
The Night Rat King was a little confused. Could it be that Xu Shen betrayed them and turned around to join the Queen Ant?
Time passes quietly.
On the third day after Xu Shen disappeared.
The Night Rat King found the Star Lord, and both of them looked unhappy. Not only was Xu Shen missing, but when they came back earlier, they found that Xia Tong was also missing.
"Something must have happened to the two of them, otherwise they would not have disappeared mysteriously without any news." Xingjun's eyes were cold. It was originally 4V1, but now it has become 2V1. Together with the Queen Ant's mount, it can be regarded as half a king.
"They are all unreliable guys."
The Night Rat King was angry. It was bad enough that Xu Shen lost contact . The key point was that it meant that Xu Shen was most likely killed by the Queen Ant. Perhaps his betrayal was noticed, so she took care of him in advance.
In this way, their plan is likely to be exposed.
As for Xia Tong, it is also possible that he was secretly killed by the queen ant.
This means that the arrangements he made might have been anticipated by the Queen Ant. How can she fight him?
"Pull two more people over here." Xingjun said to the Night Rat King, "At this point, we have no choice but to fight hard. If we can't win, we'll retreat."
To deal with the queen ant and kill her, you must mobilize four kings to be safe. Otherwise, even if you can defeat her, she may escape.
A fugitive king, like the queen ant's level, is extremely troublesome and no one can sleep well.
"This is the only way." The Night Rat King was angry. The plan would be delayed again.
Time passes.
The Queen Mother District was quiet, with guards conducting their daily patrols. The servants in the Snow Palace also maintained a relaxed attitude. The maids built the garden, the gardeners planted flowers and plants, and the Queen Ant dealt with trivial matters submitted by various districts in the meeting hall every day.
The Nightingale District was also quiet and the order was better than before. There seemed to be fewer homeless people, cats and dogs on the streets than before.
Only in other districts, various struggles, gang fights, and group disputes gradually emerged. Sometimes people even fought for a piece of land, and the situation was only quelled after the inspection department was dispatched.
Among them, the most chaotic are the black light area and the sleepless area.
The news of Xu Shen's disappearance spread. The leaders of other districts were not stupid either. They had long known that these two districts were under Xu Shen's control, but it was rumored that Xu Shen had lost contact and disappeared and had not been seen for a long time.
There are rumors that Xu Shen was involved in the King's game, but was resolved early by the King and kicked out of the table.
This also led to the forces in the other two districts to make some attempts to attack the Sleepless District and the Black Light District, attempting to encroach on their territories and some industries.
"Did something really happen to the Pope?"
In the Black Light Church, bishops Xue Mei, Du Ming, Lou Haiyin and others are all there. Now that things are going on outside, the church members are all in a panic. In addition, Xu Shen has not shown up for a long time, which makes the speculations more and more true.
Although Xue Mei and others tried their best to suppress the riots and stabilize the situation, they themselves were also shaken.
They all knew that Xu Shen had A-level monsters around him, and there was more than one.
But this time, we are involved in the game of kings, and A-level ruins is not enough.
The most crucial thing is that the production of Purifying Agent in Longyuan Town has been reduced. The place has been controlled by the Daxu beside Xu Shen. They have to transport the corpses of Xu beasts there continuously, but no Purifying Agent has been refined.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that something had happened in Longyuan Town.
The market there is no longer under control.
This is like an answer to them.
Lou Haiyin's face was gloomy. It was hard for her to imagine that the guy who was as smart as a devil, with endless tricks and unpredictable abilities, could have died like this.
But...his opponent is the king.
In front of the king, all the tricks you have are just frivolous.
"The Queen Ant has ordered us to go to the Nightingale District. There is a passage in District 6 that needs to be closed, but that passage was dug by the Night Rat King in preparation for the war. Let's go..."
Chen Han also participated in this conspiracy. His face looked extremely ugly. The Queen Ant's order was directly transmitted to the army, and he had to obey.
But going there would be tantamount to suicide.
He suspected that the queen ant used him as a pawn to explore the way and lure the night rat king to show up.
As for why this happened, it was probably because he had joined Xu Shen and could no longer gain the trust of the Queen Ant, who would probably abandon him after using him.
