Chapter 769: Traitor
He gritted his teeth, and said with a confused expression on his face: "Naturally not." The villain is just a mortal, how can he have anything to do with these big earthworms?" As soon as Fang Cai Ning Xiaoxian and Changtian came back, he knew that something big was not good. If the two men had subdued the earthworm queen, they would probably have known what he was up to.
When he said this, others felt that what he said was not wrong. The earthworm is ferocious, and he can be controlled by an ordinary person?
Ning Xiaoxian shook his head and said, "It's just the beginning of spring now, and the territory of Southern Ganbu Continent is so vast, and the news spreads very slowly. These insects have been settled here for more than two months, and there has not been a single rumor outside. ”
She turned around and took something out of the inn and placed it in her palm. Everyone could see that it was a bronze mirror with a few gems embedded in it, and the quality was not very good. "Team Leader Wang still recognizes this?"
Team leader Wang nodded: "My men picked it up from the convoy that was sniped by boulders halfway up the mountain. The bronze mirror is still there, but his fellow has been buried in the earthworm. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn pale.
She turned the edge of the mirror over to face the firelight: "Do you see the patina on the edge of the mirror?"
Just in front of the inn, the light of the torches was extinguished, everyone stared at it carefully, and only a few people with excellent eyesight said: "Sure enough, there are slight green marks on the edge, and this mirror has rusted!"
Xu Jingming's face suddenly turned pale.
Ning Xiaoxian looked at him and said with a smile: "If it is really as you said, this caravan only went up the mountain last night, why is the bronze mirror it is carrying already giving birth to green rust? No matter how abundant the rain in the mountain is, it is absolutely impossible." It can be seen that this caravan was killed here a long time ago. At least four months in advance. ”
Xu Jingming's lips squirmed twice, but he couldn't spit out half a word.
"Well, I guess this is probably your first windfall? You were caught by an earthworm and tried to survive. He swore to him that he would be able to feed him in the future. But when you brought it here, you hadn't come up with a way to do it, and you were so anxious that you didn't come across the shipwrecked caravan until you came up with an idea. ”
"That's it—let the earthworm queen hide here, ambush the caravans that pass by. Ning Xiaoxian said slowly. "The terrain here is treacherous, but most caravans heading north have to pass through here, so there is plenty of food for the earthworms. The empty city has been peaceful for so many years. No one will be wary of this place, you just need to carefully help the queen to clean up the aftermath. The news of these caravans in distress will not get out. ”
"Didn't the cooks of our two caravans complain that there was not even a little bit of rice, flour, and firewood left in the kitchen of the inn......? They never had a chance to leave. How can you do these supplies?"
There was a look of disbelief in everyone's eyes. The meaning of Ning Xiaoxiao's words. It turned out to be the guy surnamed Xu in front of him, who sold the lives of his compatriots who passed by here to the alien beasts!
Xu Jingming suddenly chuckled: "This girl, although you are the owner of the Fuyao caravan, what you say is too unbelievable! Can these big earthworms understand human speech? How can I make a plan with them to attack the caravan?"
Ning Xiaoxian shook his head and said: "The earthworm itself has a very weak sense of hearing, and it relies on the steel hairs on its body surface to feel the subtle vibrations of the air to distinguish the outside world. Don't talk about people, even if it's a demon or a ghost, it can't understand it. She looked at Xu Jingming's flickering gaze and said, "Before the Qingyao caravan planned to flee overnight, Leader Wang nodded at the head. After all, you are the only one missing. He also sent for you. But they searched up and down, and they didn't see your shadow, so they couldn't wait any longer, so they led the team away. Am I right?"
Her last sentence was said to Team Leader Wang, and he nodded subconsciously.
"You probably don't know, I can sense the movement in your building, and I also know that you are clearly staying in the last room on the second floor of the inn, but the Qingyao caravan has searched every room, how can it not be seen that you are such a big living person? The only explanation is that you used an invisibility talisman, and when you used it, it also emitted a very slight fluctuation of spiritual power. As far as I know, drawing invisibility talismans is a Heavenly Master's specialty, otherwise how can it be convenient to hunt ghosts and subdue demons?"
"Although most of the Heavenly Masters are also mortals, their knowledge is beyond that of ordinary people, so when you encounter an earthworm and know that you are going to die, there is only one way you can take - to sacrifice your soul and soul, and recognize the earthworm as the Lord. As long as it is recognized as the master, the master and slave can communicate with each other without words. "This is not surprising, for example, if the distance between Changtian and Qizai or Tu Duan is not far, it is completely possible to convey each other's will through the blood oath of the heart alliance, which is much more convenient and faster than transmitting sound.
The earthworm queen was also a slave, and she was no stranger to this set of procedures for recognizing the master, so she gladly accepted it.
Xu Jingming opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief: "I am the Heavenly Master, and I still recognize the Queen of Earthworms?"
The members of the Qingyao caravan present also showed strange looks on their faces, obviously disbelieving them in their hearts. Ning Xiaoxian was not annoyed, and only said word by word: "It doesn't hurt if you deny it." I only ask you, since there are many caravans killed here, why is there no caravan carrying goods in this empty city, even if it is only half a valuable thing, which you have never seen? It's only humans who can do that—"
She laughed, "You've got a good idea." The earthworms attack the caravan and eat the humans, and you take the caravan's valuable goods and sell them. It's really a win-win situation, but it's a pity that those human compatriots who died at your hands were really wronged. ”
Everyone's faces changed. Of course, the only ones who will be interested in the caravan's cargo are humans, and perhaps a few passing monsters. However, the people in the empty city tonight, except for the two caravans, only Xu Jingming's origin is doubtful, and thinking about his actions, it really seems that he wants to lead everyone into an ambush. At this time, Ning Xiaoxian said again: "Don't think I'm empty-mouthed. It must be a little difficult for you to get rid of these goods alone. Therefore, I guess that in Shinan County, seventy miles away, there must be someone who can recognize your appearance. Recognize what you sell them. Am I right?"
It's not that hard to do. Xu Jingming finally looked dead and could no longer deny it.
The eyes of the members of the Qingyao caravan slowly turned red, and their snorts turned heavy. It's the villain in front of you. What is even more despicable is that he actually helped the alien beasts to slaughter his own human compatriots, which is a hundred times more shameful than the traitors who appeared in the human infighting, and can be called a "human traitor."
Team Leader Wang took a step forward, grabbed Xu Jingming's collar and said with a cruel smile: "Come, let's settle the account!"
Xu Jingming pleaded: "Wang Tou'er, be merciful to your subordinates." I ......" At this point, a sudden fire broke out on his collar. Leader Wang was caught off guard, and a burning pain immediately came from the palm of his hand. I couldn't help but let go.
Xu Jingming's body technique is actually very flexible, blocking this little gap, he has rushed out like a swimming fish, and he has already run out of more than ten zhang in less than a breath.
There didn't seem to be anyone chasing after him. He breathed a sigh of relief. There was a sudden tightness on his feet, as if something had tripped him. Before he could fall to the ground, the thing slammed into a force, dragging him back and mercilessly throwing him on the floor in front of Qing Yao's caravan.
At this moment, the Demon Devouring Vine Meat Ball unhurriedly withdrew the vine.
Team leader Wang grabbed him like a chicken. Shopkeeper Yang coughed lightly and said, "It's so late, our host has always liked to be quiet. ”
The corner of Team Leader Wang's mouth showed a hint of hideousness and said, "I know!" The Qingyao caravan grabbed Xu Jingming and retracted back into his inn.
And that's going to be for the rest of the time. The inn on the opposite side was really quiet, and there was no sound at all.
……
Changtian went down to the bottom of the cliff again, put the earthworm queen into the god and demon prison, and then collected the earthworms that blocked the passage down the mountain.
In fact, Ning Xiaoxian has always felt very strange that the earthworm queen can pass through the gap in space and reach the southern Ganbu continent, but the statement provided by Changtian is reasonable: the earthworm queen's body is so bloated and fat, if it is not proficient in the art of earth escape, it is almost difficult to walk, and the mouthparts are narrow, and there is no ability to hunt on its own, so it is not strange that the gap in space judges it as a scum with zero combat effectiveness.
This also explains why the earthworms it gave birth to can't pass through the spatial gap - the power of these things itself exceeds that of the monsters in the transformation stage, and the power of space naturally refuses to let them go.
Knowing this, Ning Xiaoxian's mind became heavier. Obviously, her original estimate was too optimistic, and she thought that too powerful creatures would not be able to make it to the Southern Ganbu Continent through the gap in space. But the arrival of this group of earthworms reversed her concept. It is true that the earthworm itself cannot cross the border, but the earthworm queen is an out-and-out BUG, she is almost harmless and can pass between the two worlds, but the earthworm born after arriving in the southern Ganbu continent is a cannibal without blinking.
This shows that the rules of space power are not invulnerable, and there are loopholes to drill. By analogy, how many species in the outer world can come to the Southern Ganbu Continent through this method?
She subconsciously looked at Changtian, but saw that his phoenix eyes were shining in the dim light. Ning Xiaoxian couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking?"
"I'm wondering—" He narrowed his eyes slightly, but the words he said startled her, "Can we use this way to go to the outer worlds?"
She opened her mouth slightly, and it took her half a day to close it.
Well, what she had been worried about was that the barbarians or monsters from the outer world were smuggled into the Southern Ganbu Continent, but the problem that this man was thinking about was how to get there.
Who's bigger?
She hesitated, "We ...... Past?" (To be continued......)
