With a burst of terrible wails, the northern base ushered in another painful morning.

The northern base, bathed in the autumn sun, resembles a giant monster. It closed its huge mouth tightly and swallowed everything bloody and brutal in its belly, silently digesting it.

The northern base has started a busy day again, the experimenters who come in and out, the slaves who clean the surroundings, and some fresh corpses that have just been pushed from the mountain villa are being counted by the experimenters of the base. Everything seems to be progressing in an orderly manner. However, a terrible scream broke the dull silence - the Blood Demon had eaten people.

It turned out that the Blood Demon woke up early in the morning with a roar, and it seemed that excessive hunger and thirst had triggered his rage, and after devouring all the food he had been fed, he actually threw the keeper who grabbed the feeding into his mouth. The remaining surviving slaves ran back covered in blood, trembling and kneeling on the ground, reporting to their superiors.

In fact, he and another slave were fed step by step and did not make any mistakes. But the Blood Demon is in a listless state today, like a sleep-deprived baby. Not long after hanging his head, the Blood Demon suddenly became furious, and the roaring Blood Demon threw Xiao Tian into his mouth without chewing as if he was hungry.

"My lord, I really don't know what's wrong with the Blood Fiend......" the servant cried.

"Waste. The experimenter said coldly.

In the dark corner, Xia Gui eavesdropped on the conversation between the two, turned a corner, and walked thoughtfully into the depths of the base.

Only he understands why.

In the shadows, Xia Gui's expression was complicated, "Teacher, the blood demon eats people, is it directly related to the part of spiritual power I sucked out yesterday?"

"There should be a relationship. This is a side effect of the instantaneous loss of spiritual power. Boudin's uneasy voice was faintly heard.

"Once the power of this divine corpse is cut off, the result is so terrible. Xia Gui fell into deep thought.

He felt really uneasy, for fear that the incident of yesterday's instantaneous disappearance of spiritual power would be discovered.

Budan sighed: "The main thing is to blame Gu Li, that idiot is also incapable, nourishing the Blood Demon Great Array, it is all relying on the power of the divine remains. Once the divine remains stop supplying spiritual power, it will have terrible consequences. It seems that this blood demon is going to be irritable for a while......"

Sure enough, as Budan said, the Blood Demon Array began to become a little unstable. Despite the constant flow of fresh ingredients into the patio, the Bloodfiend's condition continued to deteriorate.

After Gu Li learned about this, he also became worried, and ran in the direction of the Blood Demon Great Array every once in a while. He even began to wonder if the way the experiment was done was wrong, and the entire northern base was enveloped in a serious and tense atmosphere.

Gu Li was very busy, and the affairs in the base were gradually handed over to Xia Gui and several other experimenters.

For several days, Gu Li didn't find the real reason, so no one suspected Xia Gui for the time being. Xia Gui was also happy to be idle, found a place away from the divine remains, practiced the third-order teleportation formation over and over again, and finally reached the realm of proficiency.

......

On this day, Gu Li went to observe the situation of the Blood Demon Great Array again, and handed over the idle chores of the base to Xia Gui to deal with. However, God seems to be deliberately not letting Xia Gui live a quiet life, and on this day, a special guest came to the northern base.

When Xia Gui was still cultivating in the stone house, he heard the coquettish and hearty laughter of the thirteenth aunt.

Hearing this woman's laughter, Xia Gui also had to stop the cultivation work at hand and walk out to greet him.

"Ouch, little slave, it's nice to see you. After the thirteenth aunt saw Xia Gui, a strong smile bloomed between her eyebrows.

Although Xia Gui is no longer a little slave, Aunt Thirteen still likes to call him that. I don't know if I want to use this title to praise Xia Gui for a few words, or from this title with a huge gap in status, the thirteenth aunt can establish her nobility better.

"I've seen the Thirteenth Lady. ”

Xia Gui looked at this bright and delicate woman, and said hello a little helplessly.

To be honest, since the last time this woman jokingly said that she would accept him as one of the four major guards, Xia Gui didn't want to see her.

Xia Gui had seen the four guards who followed behind her, all of them were young and handsome young warriors, although it was not clear what each warrior thought in their hearts, but at least Xia Gui seemed to these warriors to be respectful and loyal, and due to the authority of the thirteenth aunt, they had to show their obedience.

"Thirteenth Madam, do you need me to introduce you to the situation of the base?" Xia Gui took the initiative to bring the topic to business.

Aunt Thirteen smiled, and in this dark corner, she took the initiative to get closer to Xia Gui, "No need, I don't understand these things between you men." ”

A faint fragrance came to her nose, and Aunt Thirteen's soft shoulders were gently next to Xia Gui's chest. I don't know if it was out of appreciation for Xia Gui or out of a teasing mood, Aunt Thirteen reached out and touched Xia Gui's chest, and then chuckled: "Young man, it's quite sturdy, it's completely qualified to be my personal guard." ”

Suddenly pinched by this woman, Xia Gui was also secretly startled, and couldn't help but take a step back.

Although this woman was warm and fragrant nephrite, the feeling of her slightly cold fingers suddenly burrowing into her arms made Xia Gui feel as if she had been bitten by a poisonous snake.

The thirteenth aunt saw Xia Gui's frowning and patient expression, and felt even more happy, and giggled: "Little slave, why is your expression so serious, are you very nervous?"

Xia Gui frowned and deliberately looked outside the corridor.

Sure enough, the ghost marquis is not there, Mi Xuefu is not there, Mi Wuhuan, and Mi Wuzong are not there.

This time, Aunt Thirteen came alone. She is as amorous as the legend in the outside world, and she likes to complain when no one is around.

Xia Guizheng said: "Thirteenth Madam, the state of the blood demon has been unstable recently, Lord Gu Li has been in and out of the big array day and night, and I must take care of the base for him." ”

Aunt Thirteen had a pretty face, "You mean, I bothered you?"

Xia Gui bowed his head and said, "That's not what it means." ”

Aunt Thirteen snorted coldly and said, "Today, the Ghost Hou sent me to inspect the situation of the base, you are so uncooperative, beware of me telling the Hou Ye and asking you about your crimes." ”

A drop of sweat flowed down Xia Gui's forehead, this woman is really difficult!

Just now I said that I don't understand things between men, but in a blink of an eye, I changed to a serious look.

Xia Gui calmed down and said in a deep voice: "The little one doesn't dare to slack off, if the thirteenth lady has any questions, just ask." ”

The thirteenth aunt stared at the thin and good-looking face of the young man, and said in a slow tone: "Take me around first, I want to focus on the content of each laboratory." ”

"Yes. Xia Gui bowed.

I don't know if this woman can figure out what Gu Li's terrible and cruel experiments mean. Xia Gui routinely took Aunt Thirteen to visit the experimental room in the area under his jurisdiction, and quickly took her to inspect the contents of other experimental rooms.

This woman is also a fool, and she pretended to carefully review some experimental content that ordinary people can accept. And the rest of the few cruel experiments, she only stood at the door and watched, a few particularly terrible experiments, she didn't even allow Xia Gui to open the door, her ears were attached to the door and she listened to the movement inside, which can be regarded as the completion of the inspection.

After visiting the three areas, the woman finally couldn't bear it anymore, her face was pale, her breath was panting, and she must have been disgusted.

When the two walked into a dark corner, Aunt Thirteen finally took the initiative: "Take a break, there are too many experimental contents, and I won't be able to remember them for a while." ”

Xia Gui smiled slightly, "Thirteenth Madam, why don't I order someone to sort out the progress of the experiment into words, if Master Hou asks, you can reply to him according to the content on the note." ”

"Well, good idea. The thirteenth aunt glanced at him appreciatively.

There are too many experiments to remember, so it is better to memorize them than to read them once.

Xia Gui was a little proud in his heart, he didn't want to facilitate the memory of Aunt Thirteen, he had his own little Jiujiu.

If it is recorded in writing, you only need to find a few subordinates to sort out the progress of the experiment separately, and you can get rid of this difficult woman.

"The Thirteenth Lady can go to the side hall for a short rest, and I'll go and sort out the materials. Xia Gui said.

"Okay. Aunt Thirteen smiled.

A few hours later, Xia Gui came to Aunt Thirteen with the sorted out experimental progress.

Although Aunt Thirteen is not a female general with a literary and martial arts strategy, she is also literate, she flipped through this pile of materials, smiled and bowed, "Little slave, it is very meticulous." ”

Xia Gui replied: "The Thirteenth Lady came to inspect the work for Hou Ye, and this work is equivalent to reporting directly to Hou Ye. The little ones should do their best!"

Hearing Xia Gui's humble and polite, appropriate and appropriate words, Aunt Thirteen's eyes also lit up, and she looked at Xia Gui with a little more appreciation in her eyes.

I didn't expect this little slave to be able to write and martial arts, even if he was placed among the nobles, he could be regarded as excellent.

"Little slave, I hope you can still sort out the progress of the experiments, and I'll come back tomorrow. Aunt Thirteen smiled.

Xia Gui is not calm.

This woman is coming over tomorrow?

And how many hours do you have to spend sorting out the materials?

Looking at Xia Gui's stunned face, Aunt Thirteen covered her mouth and smiled, "You don't have to tidy it up yourself, just arrange a few people to tidy it up." ”

"Thirteenth Madam, after Lord Gu Li's energy was involved, the manpower in our base was obviously insufficient. Xia Gui complained bitterly.

Aunt Thirteen said, "Then how did you finish it today?"

Xia Gui is speechless.

"How to do it today, how to complete it tomorrow, even if you work overtime to increase the number of people, you have to complete the task. This is reported directly to Hou Ye, you have to be careful. The thirteenth aunt said forcefully.

"Yes. ”

Although Xia Gui wanted to shout a few times in his heart, in the face of this woman's arrogant attitude, he could only endure it without tears.

"Also, tomorrow find a side hall where no one is around, and explain the content of the experiment to me face to face. Aunt Thirteen winked at Xia Gui, her expression as charming as a peony.

To be honest, she blinks and looks quite charming and good-looking, and it is no wonder that the ghost marquis, as the lord of Fang Country, pampered her in every way, and even tolerated her recruiting good-looking beautiful young men as personal guards.

However, Xia Gui felt a little creepy in his heart.

Explain the material face-to-face?

Is this woman overestimating her time, Xia Gui doesn't have the leisure to accompany her to pick up any materials!

"Do you understand?" Aunt Thirteen coughed dryly.

"Understood. Xia Gui agreed with a bitter face.

"Then let's say so!" Aunt Thirteen smiled, this smile made people's hearts ripple.

Xia Gui's heart tightened, he didn't like this one. And this is the woman of the ghost marquis, he can't bear to throw flattery at himself in such a grand manner!

Are you acting too considerate?

It's better not to entangle yourself with this troubled water.
