Chapter 1172: The Siege of the Rabbit (Two Chapters in One)
Take some chocolates to the 'capital' to meet his old friend's old butler Chatu, just as he expected, the old friend was easily persuaded by himself, and the two sides soon reached an intention to cooperate.
After Jing Jiu negotiated the relevant cooperation matters with the other party and signed the contract, the two of them, as Lin Fei's representatives, successfully completed their employer's task, and then they immediately returned to the manor to resume their lives.
"Uh...... You've got things done so quickly?" Lin Fei, who followed Lu Qi to recognize the various locations in the mansion, had just returned to the living room and sat down, when he saw the tea picture and Jing Jiu walking into the living room on behalf of himself to talk about cooperation with others in the early stage.
"Boss, that old friend of mine has been in the snack business for nearly 100 years, and now the business is booming, so his vision is naturally not bad.
After I explained my intentions, let him taste our unique chocolate, and he immediately agreed to cooperate with us without saying a word...... "The old housekeeper Chatu told Lin Fei about the process of talking about cooperation before.
"Well, you're so efficient, that's good. Lin Fei smiled and praised the old butler and Jing Jiu.
When the two heard this, they hurriedly and modestly expressed their shame, relying on the unique taste and scarcity of chocolate, which made the process of cooperation so smooth.
"Boss, according to the negotiated contract, the other party will send someone to pick up the goods the day after tomorrow. Jing Jiu said to Lin Fei.
The day after tomorrow, there is plenty of time, and the first batch of goods I ordered from the chocolate factory will be delivered to the warehouse at my flower and bird market tomorrow...... Lin Fei nodded and said.
"Well, I'll put the goods in the warehouse tomorrow, and you'll be responsible for contacting them then. ”
............
The Spirit Realm, the spiritual realm area corresponding to the sixth town of Blue Star, is more than a hundred kilometers away from the spiritual realm station built by humans, and the humans who were trapped in the construction of the mine by landslides are facing a food crisis at the same time, a new crisis has appeared.
Outside the mine, on the side of a flat mountain road somewhere below the collapsed hill, several tents were set up in the cleared clearing.
This area of the mountains and forests is guarded by investigators who are responsible for guarding against the emerging crisis.
The supreme person in charge of the safety of the mine is named Xue Liqing, and he has the strength of the third order.
The sky outside was overcast, and after a while, a light rain began to fall in the sky.
The light rain falling on the surrounding flowers and trees makes a subtle sound, and the sense of silence makes people feel particularly strong.
Xue Liqing sat in a tent, sitting around a campfire with his deputy, Wu Xinhua, and several "miners", drinking boiled water.
The curtain of the tent was lifted, and Wang Ziqian, a researcher at the Psionic Research Institute wearing a raincoat, strode in, took off the raincoat on his body, and hung it on a branch that was inserted on the ground as a hanger, and said to Xue Liqing.
"Xue Liqing, this rain is getting heavier and heavier, we either go down as soon as possible to solve it, or wait for the weather to clear and come again, I am worried that the rain will make the cave collapse again. ”
Xue Liqing frowned, shook his head and said, "Wang Ziqian, wait a minute, if the thing in the cave is not hooked, we won't go down, that thing is not weak, if it goes down, our people will be damaged." ”
The landslide caused by the collapse of the mountain trapped more than 100 people in the newly built mine.
The day before yesterday, Zhao He, the captain of Zhao who came to escort the mine cart back to the station, left the mine with several subordinates and returned to the station on foot to ask for help.
After Zhao He and the others left, everyone in the mine only had to wait patiently for the rescuers to arrive, but it backfired.
That night, not long after the people trapped by the mudslide turned off the lights and fell asleep, the alarm sounded.
By the time everyone came out of the dormitory with their weapons and arrived at the site of the attack, the attackers had fled, except for one investigator, who was seriously injured and on the verge of fainting.
"Lizard...... Lizard. The seriously injured investigator immediately fell into a coma after saying these two words.
Fortunately, everyone arrived in time, and the attackers did not arrive before they could kill the investigators on duty at night.
After some rescue, the injured investigator's life was saved, but the person was never able to wake up.
Later, according to the doctor's diagnosis, the injured person should have been poisoned by the attacker.
Although the antidote developed by humans is effective, the process of detoxification is slow, and it takes a certain amount of time for the injured to wake up.
On the night of the attack, everyone thought that the attacker would not appear again, but to everyone's surprise, the attacker launched several more attacks.
Although the other party played his cards uneasily, the night guards who had already taken precautions were not seriously injured even if they were attacked by the attackers again.
Because of the darkness of the night, and the fact that the attackers were not weak and very cunning, the personnel in the mine could only hold their positions and wait for dawn before counterattacking accordingly.
At sunrise, the attackers vanished, and the nerves that had been tense all night were finally able to rest.
After several hours of repair, the crowd began to search the area around the mine.
It took more than an hour, and with the efforts of everyone, everyone found a huge hole near the collapsed hill.
Based on the footprints at the entrance of the cave, you can be sure that the attacker crawled out of this hole, and now, nine times out of ten, it is hiding in this hole.
Wait for the rabbit.
In order to fish out the attackers in the cave, Xue Liqing, the person in charge of the safety of the mine, ordered someone to hunt and kill an ordinary animal, hooked the freshly killed animal into an iron hook, and threw it into the hole, trying to lure the attacker into the bait with the smell of blood.
"It's been more than a day, and the hook hasn't moved. Xue Liqing's deputy, Wu Xinhua, shook his head and said.
"Don't worry, wait. Xue Liqing, who was very calm, smiled and said, "We have checked the surrounding area, there is no other exit from this cave, that guy has been staying down there and always has to eat......
Even if it doesn't eat very often, it only hunts when it's hungry, and judging by the number of times it attacked us that night, it's time to be hungry, and it won't be long before it can't help but take the bait. ”
"The problem is that we don't have much food left, and if it doesn't take the bait tonight, and we continue to consume it, I'm afraid we'll not be able to hold it out first. Researcher Wang Ziqian said.
Wang Ziqian's words silenced everyone in the tent.
At this time, an investigator with the strength of the second order middle stage spoke very optimistically.
"Zhao He led the people back to the station, it has been two days, presumably they have arrived at the station and reported our situation here. ”
Everyone said "um", and someone chimed in, "You're right, maybe the rescuers arranged above are already on their way at this moment." ”
The silent atmosphere at the scene disappeared, and everyone began to talk about what food the people who came to the rescue would bring.
Xue Liqing saw that the topic of everyone's discussion was off, he first laughed helplessly, and then changed the topic back again, "Okay, the topic of food will be suspended for a while, let's find a way to solve that guy first!"
The rain crackled on the tents, and when there was only one sound left in the world, it accentuated a sense of quiet.
Xue Liqing drank boiled water and suddenly said, "This time we encountered such a thing, saying bad is bad, and saying good is good." ”
"What's wrong with this? Everybody is running out of food. Someone said.
"Although the situation is very bad now, the difficulties we are facing this time can be regarded as adding a kind of experience to us humans that may encounter difficulties in the spirit world. Xue Liqing said bitterly.
"Makes sense......" the group nodded.
"Roaring ......" Just as the people in distress were rejoicing, a terrible beast roar came from outside the tent.
"That thing took the bait. Those who heard the roar of the beast thought in unison.
In the tent, the atmosphere changed abruptly, Xue Liqing was the first to rush out of the tent, followed by deputy Wu Xinhua, and then the others.
In the rain, more than a dozen investigators held lighting equipment, and several investigators pulled together a rope the thickness of a child's small arm, which collapsed straight and went deep into a dark hole in the ground.
Finally hooked......
Xue Liqing and the others were surprised and delighted, they were surprised that the strength of several second-order mid-stage cultivators could not drag that hateful guy out, and they were happy that they did not wait in vain tonight.
"Prepare the resin and barbed wire of the oil tree!"
Xue Liqing gave a loud order as he rushed over, grabbed the rope made of wire and twine with both hands, and let out a deep shout, exerting force with his companions behind him.
"Roaring ......"
The roar of the beast from the cave became more and more terrible, and the sound became louder and louder, and then a black shadow was pulled out.
The wind and rain were blowing, and the lights flickered, illuminating the appearance of the attacker.
It is 3 meters long, resembling a lizard, covered with horns, with a face like a mouse on a blue star, grayish-white eyes, slightly sluggish, and poor eyesight.
Gray blood flowed from its mouth, and the hook stabbed deep into its paw.
The rat lizard was illuminated by the light of the lighting equipment, and let out a loud roar that shook the air at the investigators, but the next side, it turned and fled back into the burrow.
"Cast the net!" Xue Liqing yelled.
The investigators, who had been ready for a long time, threw out the large net in their hands and covered the mouse lizard.
The huge rat lizard was so powerful that its claws tore through the barbed wire, breaking a large hole, and out of the net, continuing to flee to the hole, knowing that it was in great danger, it burst out with terrible force.
Xue Liqing stumbled and was almost overturned by it, and the investigator with the strength of the third order of the early stage suddenly turned red, and his forehead was bulging with green tendons.
He lifted his foot, hooked the rope, wrapped it around a few times, and then stepped on it hard.
The head of the mouse lizard was suddenly pulled up, and more gray blood gushed out of its bloody mouth.
On this side, Xue Liqing seized the opportunity, shouted angrily, pulled out the spirit weapon long sword, and mobilized the spiritual energy, and after the spirit weapon long sword was attached to the spiritual energy, it immediately turned red.
The tip of the sword is pointed at the throat of the mouse lizard, as it is not covered with keratin, which is a weak part of the defense.
The rain curtain was torn apart in an instant, and the raindrops that unfortunately came into contact with the sword seemed to drip onto a piece of hot iron, snorting and turning into a puff of white smoke.
"Poof!"
It was like a long sword of a red spirit weapon roasted by fire pierced into the throat of a mouse lizard, and gray blood immediately overflowed, like a spring of earth.
"Roaring ......"
The rat lizard roared violently, its slender and powerful tail swept, and the "dang" whip hit Xue Liqing's chest, and he was thrown out like a kite with a broken string.
Fortunately, Xue Liqing was wearing armor, and it was not difficult for him to be seriously injured in this blow.
The rat lizard, which had suffered a big loss, was aroused, and no longer thought about escaping, but turned around, stretched out its limbs, and turned into a black shadow and pounced on Xue Liqing.
Sensing that the other party was rushing towards him, Xue Liqing rolled on his side and avoided it perfectly, and several investigators behind him also dodged.
Fortunately, these investigators reported quickly enough, otherwise, with their strength and the state of not wearing armor on their bodies, they would have been attacked by the rat lizard, and they would definitely break their muscles and bones and seriously injure them on the spot.
After Xue Liqing rolled a few times, his body rose up without condensation, and only a third-order cultivator could make such a swift and natural movement.
He snatched a fist-sized porcelain vase from one of the investigators' hands and threw it at the lizard with a vigorous wave of his hand.
Seeing this, other investigators followed suit.
"Bang ......"
The porcelain vase smashed into the lizard's thick armor, and the resin extracted from the Spirit Oil Tree drenched it.
"The lights are locked. Xue Liqing shouted to his companions, and then he ran wildly, in the process, when he was about to get close to the mouse lizard.
He suddenly knelt on his knees, leaned back, and passed through a sliding shovel, and at this moment, the resin-drenched rat lizard was propped up on all fours, wanting to kill Xue Liqing.
The two sides went up and down, and they staggered by.
With years of combat experience, Xue Liqing predicted the attack of the mouse lizard.
He calmly used his ability, using the spirit weapon sword that burst out of sparks that was alienated by the ability, slashed across the belly of the mouse lizard, and ignited the resin on its body.
"Pong. ”
The flames spread quickly, engulfing the rat lizard.
When the resin of the oil tree was ignited, the rain could not extinguish it, and the rat lizard let out a terrible scream and rolled wildly in the mud in an attempt to extinguish the raging flames on its body.
Xue Liqing calmly gave the order, "Keep a distance and prepare for a short gun attack." ”
More than a dozen investigators were armed with short guns that had been prepared long ago, twisted their waists, and waved their arms vigorously to throw the short guns attached to the psionic energy.
"Puff ......"
Some of the short guns pierced the burning, brittle horns and nailed them into the body of the mouse lizard, while others were bounced off by some cells that could not be burned by the fire.
Soon, the rat lizard was stabbed into a large hedgehog by the dense short spear, and it gradually ceased to struggle, the flames still burned, and the air was filled with a scorching and strange stench.
