Chapter 025: Wanqiu City Changed Upheaval
It took a long time for the waves on the swamp to subside, and Lu Ping'an rowed the only remaining intact bamboo raft to salvage the bodies of the killers in the surrounding waters.
In the end, except for the white-eyed old man surnamed Xiong, who was still alive, the other five killers were all killed, and all died from the powerful shockwave released when the blue needle spiral burst.
"Rao...... Spare me, please spare me......" The white-eyed old man begged for mercy in a weak voice.
Although he was the first to jump out and fight with Lu Ping'an, after he really felt the fear of death, he had lost all his courage, and he no longer had the high-level demeanor when he first saw Lu Ping'an, and his ugliness appeared for a while.
"Heh, why should I let you go? Which of your killers in Hanying Pavilion isn't with blood on his hands? What use does your life have for me?"
Lu Ping'an pursed his lips and sneered, and asked repeatedly, without the slightest intention of showing mercy to his subordinates.
"Wait! I ...... I'm valuable, I know an important piece of information!"
The white-eyed old man's cloudy old eyes rolled in his sockets, and he suddenly remembered something, and shouted loudly to Lu Ping'an.
"What information?" Lu Ping'an frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice. The old man's expression when he spoke did not look like nonsense.
"Since you have come to this Daxu Mountain to train, you must be in Wanqiu City, right?" The white-eyed old man said to Lu Ping'an with a mysterious face, "You may not know that there have been drastic changes in Wanqiu City recently, as long as you promise to ......"
The white-eyed old man was just halfway through his words, when his eyes suddenly widened, his whole body twitched, and he stopped breathing after a while.
"Hey, what happened in Wanqiu City?"
Lu Ping'an shook the body of the white-eyed old man and asked, but the latter had already cut off his breath and could no longer respond to him.
After some inspection, Lu Ping'an found that the white-eyed old man had a highly poisonous multicolored water snake wrapped around his arm, and it was estimated that he died of poisoning.
"Alas!" Lu Ping'an sighed heavily, if only that multicolored water snake could be a little late.
"The drastic changes in Wanqiu City, could it be related to the Lu family?"
Lu Ping'an drove away the colorful water snake, dragged the corpses of several killers onto the bamboo raft, and thought alone.
"No, it can't be, it must be something else. Lu Ping'an shook his head violently, denying this speculation.
With Lu Songyin in charge, no one dared to attack the Lu family, even if the major forces in Wanqiu City were united, they would have to pay a heavy price for casualties.
"Forget it, let's go back first. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Ping'an still had no clue, so he simply didn't bother about it anymore. Instead of being suspicious here, it's better to go back to the city and see for yourself.
"Don't move yet, you'll be fine right away. ”
After solving the group of killers who were killed halfway, Lu Ping'an could finally calm down and absorb the bloodline of the green jade toad.
was saved by Lu Ping'an, and the green jade toad was very cooperative, allowing the former to put his palm on the top of his head.
"The devouring system activated, and the green jade toad bloodline was detected.
Bloodline grade: Yellow rank upper grade.
Spirit Beast Core Grade: Yellow Rank Lower Grade.
Assimilation side effects: moderate.
Antitoxicity: Top level.
System Suggestion: Suggest devouring. ”
"Confirmed devouring. Lu Ping'an thought silently in his heart and confirmed to the system.
It didn't take long for the sound of the system announcing the success of the fusion to ring in his head.
"Basic Competencies:
Skin Strength: +20
Advanced Competencies:
Anti-Toxicity: +350
The system bloodline bar is full, please unlock the function of freely returning the bloodline bar, and then equip it. ”
"Uh...... Is that all over? Nothing else?"
Lu Ping'an listened attentively to the system's broadcast, but until the end, he couldn't wait for the prompt to unlock a new additional organ.
"The bloodline attributes have all been broadcast, note: the function of additional organs is still being repaired, and some information may not be displayed. The system voice replied.
"Damn!" Lu Ping'an clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "The surname is Chen, you wait, next time we meet, see how I clean you up!"
If he hadn't been blown up by Chen Hao, he would definitely have benefited more from his trip to Daxu Mountain.
In the case of not being able to use additional organs, in addition to being anti-toxic, the bloodline of the green jade toad is even inferior to the lowest-grade short-tailed spirit ape in terms of improving other attributes.
After some consideration, Lu Ping'an decided not to unlock the function of returning the bloodline bar for the time being, and kept the existing more than 100 bloodline points in the system in case of emergency.
Letting go of the green jade toad, Lu Ping'an hurried up and began to search for loot on the bodies of several Hanying Pavilion killers.
Unlike the three shabby killers sent by Lu Tianwang last time, these people really have a lot of good things on them.
There are ten high-grade spirit stones on the Yellow Order, twenty-three spirit stones in the middle and lower grades of the Yellow Rank, nine spell scrolls of various kinds, six soft swords, a set of "one son who shakes the head", various hidden weapons, and a number of gold and silver jewelry.
What made Lu Ping'an even more overjoyed was that there was a space storage bag hanging on the belt of the white-eyed old man.
According to Lu Ping'an's estimates, the volume of this storage bag should be the size of two Eight Immortal Tables, although it is not large, but it is also extremely precious, even in a big family like the Lu family, there are no more than a hundred people with storage bags.
Lu Ping'an sorted out all the things at hand and put them in a storage bag, reducing the weight, and suddenly felt a lot lighter.
Although the "head shake one" that was handed over can greatly improve the efficiency of hunting spirit beasts, Lu Ping'an, who learned that something had happened in Wanqiu City, could no longer stay in Daxu Mountain with peace of mind.
After burying the bodies of several killers, he immediately set off to return.
On the way out of the mountain, Lu Ping'an was attacked by two waves of spirit beasts, and he took a fork in the road again, so he was delayed a lot.
By the time he returned to Wanqiu City, it was already completely dark.
......
"The hall master has an order, whoever takes the head of the field and the neck will be rewarded with five hundred gold, and ten spirit stones on the yellow steps!"
"Report, two city lord's mansion rebels were punished at the east city gate, and some brothers from Suzaku Hall saw the figure of the thief Tian He. ”
"Get to the East Gate! Don't let him run!"
......
Lu Ping'an was about to climb over the city wall west of Wanqiu City and enter the city, but he didn't want to climb halfway through when he heard the conversation of several black-clothed killers above the city wall.
"I see!"
As soon as he heard Tian He's name, Lu Ping'an immediately realized that the dignified young city lord had fallen into the situation of being hunted down and killed, which was indeed a drastic change.
Tian He is Lu Ping'an's confidant and brother, and now that he is in trouble, Lu Ping'an will naturally not stand idly by.
After the group of black-clothed men walked a little farther, Lu Ping'an jumped onto the city wall and secretly followed behind, waiting for an opportunity to move.
Wanqiu City covers a vast area, and the straight-line distance between the east and west city gates is thirty or forty miles, and ordinary people have to run for at least an hour.
But for cultivators, this distance was not far, and less than a quarter of an hour later, Lu Ping'an heard the sound of swords clashing in the distance.
