Chapter 53: The Marionette

Inside the cell.

After everything was taken care of, Qin Lan finally had extra time to interrogate these people.

When a divine consciousness descended from the sky, it was as if their hearts were pressed against a mountain.

Unlike at the beginning, they didn't know anything about it, and they also heard some news about Yuan Cheng from the conversation of the City God Army.

The god of the city of Metaverse.

That is, the source of the ** sound they vaguely heard before.

This also made them understand why such a poor and backward town now had a powerful force enough to kill four hundred crystal beasts......

Especially the captain.

I can't wait to give myself a slap in the face.

I was so bad that I happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.

If you continue to run for your life, there may be a slim chance of survival.

But now that he has been tied up as a zongzi by the city god army in Yuancheng, even if he wants to escape, he can't fly.

A Type II golem walked in from outside the cell and took the cotton cloth out of their mouths.

"Vomit...... Ahem, ahem. ”

After a dry cough, the Orc Hunter team had hope in their eyes, and they slammed their heads to the ground in fear.

"Lord Jogami, great Lord Jogami. It is because we have eyes and do not know Mount Tai, please raise your noble hand, will be a piece of garbage, spare a small life. The captain said with a worried expression, "As long as you can spare your little life, you will remember your great kindness and great virtue for the rest of your life......"

Several others also kowtowed and pleaded.

However, Qin Lan was still cold, and even with him, the cell seemed to be full of cold.

"Make it all clear to me about the cause and effect of the matter. ”

"If there is half a point to hide......"

The voice that echoed in mid-air was filled with a solemn aura.

It made them even more frightened, and they couldn't afford to resist the existence of the city god that was beyond common sense and imagination.

Qin Lan used his spiritual power to separate them and ask them separately.

They couldn't hear each other's voices, because Qin Lan was watching, so they didn't even dare to look at each other, for fear of angering this high-ranking existence.

Qin Lan listened to the five of them tell each other, and understood the story of the matter.

There may be some discrepancies in the details of what happened from the mouths of several of them, but the general situation is the same.

Originally, the five of them were just ordinary orc hunters who used the hunting of the ** Yi Neutral City 'Shore Mountain City' as their activity base and relied on hunting blue crystal beasts for a living.

They are all about 25 years old, and the equipment on their bodies is just a standard product bought in the equipment store in Stainless Steel City.

In Kishiyama City or other large cities, there are thousands of orc hunters of their level, many of them like stars in the sky.

It was originally such a mediocre and featureless orc hunter squad.

However, the captain of their team, although his strength is average, is very good at finding out information.

It is even known as a 'jack of all trades'.

He centered on Kishiyama City, and the captain made many friends, opened up relationships, and accumulated a lot of contacts for himself.

Even the formation of this orc hunter squad was formed several years ago under the tandem of their captains.

After forming the orc hunter team, with the network accumulated by the captain, their news is much better than that of the ordinary orc hunter team. When other orc hunter squads were still receiving tasks from the guild or buying news from the news merchants, with far more information than the other squads, they often rushed to the scene one step earlier, hunted the seriously injured and dying crystal beasts or obtained materials, and reaped a lot of benefits.

The squad that was struggling in the hunter circle has gradually improved. He has more trust in the captain and has built an unbreakable bond.

A few days ago, the captain had received news from a friend about the Infant Iron Tree.

Because every time before, the captain got the news from his friends, and then they set off into the jungle to pick up resources that the powerful orc hunter team couldn't look up to. So they thought it would be the same this time, and went deep into the jungle with confidence.

But unexpectedly, the infant iron tree, which did not protect the crystal beast in the original news, suddenly had an extremely powerful guardian. And when they were about to dig out the heart of the infant iron tree, the originally immature infant iron tree suddenly matured, attracting all the crystal beasts around them.

"Could it be a complete coincidence?"

Qin Lan frowned.

But if it's a coincidence, it's too much of a coincidence.

Coincidentally, a powerful guardian crystal beast appeared next to the Infant Iron Tree.

As it happens, the baby iron tree matured when they arrived.

Moreover, the baby iron tree, although it is a more precious material, a good baby iron wood can be sold for a high price of 5,000 silver dollars. But for the attraction of crystal beasts, it is not so great.

Why, just a mature infant iron tree can attract such a large number of crystal beasts?

And as if in a circle.

In the vicinity of the Infant Iron Tree's jungle, only Yuan City is the closest.

Moreover, this captain has also been to Yuancheng before......

"When have you ever been to Metaverse?"

Qin Lan asked the captain of the squad.

The captain was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep memories.

"I remember, a few months ago, I came to Yuancheng with a friend to rest temporarily......

"Who is that friend?"

After Qin Lan's question, the captain's entire body seemed to have been struck by lightning.

"That friend of mine, and the friend who provided me with the news, are from the same family. ”

"Isn't it ......"

Thinking of this, several members of this orc hunter team all trembled with anger.

"Captain, could it be that this is a trap they have set for us?" said the fat man angrily.

"I can't. The captain was also a little confused, "Sun Shen and I have known each other for several years, and he has not missed the news he has repeatedly provided me. But how to ...... this time"

Qin Lan sneered.

First, as if by chance, he brought the captain of the orc hunter team to Yuancheng.

This was before Qin Lan woke up, and Yuancheng was very poor, which left a deep impression on him.

After that, they are looking for an opportunity to release the news of the Infant Iron Tree to their team before the Infant Iron Tree is about to mature. And used a special means to attract the crystal beasts at the moment when the infant iron tree matured......

And the city around the infant iron tree is only Yuancheng.

If you want to survive, the best choice is to transfer the Crystal Beast disaster to Yuan Cheng......

months.

A perfect rope is formed.

The five members of this orc hunter team are just puppets of the people behind the scenes.

It is precisely because of the sufficient understanding of the captain of this team that the actions of the orc hunter team are like a script. Everything is moving forward in an orderly manner according to the script.

The only exception should be the person behind the destruction of Yuan City, who doesn't know about Qin Lan's existence!
