Chapter 21: Flames
At this point, Ling Gu knew that Ling Zhaowen was really lyingβif he was sure that it was him, then this blood-dripping method could only be used by him. But the opposite is true.
Ling Gu glanced at Ling Zhaowen, but Ling Zhaowen only stood there with a curled face, not daring to raise his head.
Ling Gu sneered, then reached out and lifted the lid of the iron box.
"Ahh Mu Ying suddenly screamed, stretching out her hand to stop: "Don't open the ......"
It's late.
As soon as the tin box was opened, a wave of heat hit my face. Lying in the box was indeed a feather - a feather two palms long, and it did not look like a feather; The feathers are fiery red, and the feathers are also crimson, with a jade-like texture; The feathers are very light, and every millimeter seems to be covered with pearlescent light, and there is a faint golden glow at the tip.
Ling Gu opened his mouth, but forgot what he was going to say. There was a kind of fear, and a kind of nostalgia, intertwined in his chest, almost bursting his chest.
Then in the next moment, the feather suddenly shone brightly, and a flame flew out of the box, and as soon as the iron box came out, it spread out like a wave, and in the snap of his fingers, the red and golden flames wrapped the bones.
The scorching heat rushed wantonly in the living room, and even Mu Ying hurriedly ran out, but in an instant, all the household in the room was reduced to ashes.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die." Mu Ying was so anxious that she remembered something, grabbed a handful of seeds from her small purse and threw them into the air. The seeds intertwined, twisted, and swelled in the air, and soon became a hummingbird made of flowers and leaves.
"Call the boss over and put out the fire!" Mu Ying shouted at the hummingbird. The hummingbird received the order, disappeared into the air in an instant, and was already galloping away.
Meanwhile, in a small inn in Bermuda, a man sits cross-legged on a bed, his eyes closed as if meditating. But in the next second, the man suddenly opened his eyes and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Master!" A young man standing by the bed hurriedly pounced, wiping his blood while holding the man.
The man didn't care about this, and his face was horrified: "He's back, it's him, he's back." Let's go, I'm going to get out of here, let's go back, go back. β
"Shut up." At this time, another man sitting at the table spoke, and he sneered: "The Central Realm is such a big place, do you think you can escape?" Do you think Bai Yu won't know what you made? 10,000 years ago you were a wicked person, and now you kneel at their feet and kowtow, and they will not spare you. You're not thinking about how to escape, but how to kill him before he can regain his strength. β
With that, the man stood up, picked up a mask on the table and fastened it to his face.
It was a pure white mask, with no holes in the five orifices, only corresponding depressions and protrusions in the facial features of the person, which looked very weird.
"If you don't want to die, then you have to let them die." The man's voice came out with a maniacal smile, like a demon from the abyss: "What do you see, sue me." β
The man who vomited blood was still afraid, he wanted to escape, but there was no way out. He shuddered and said, "I can't see clearly, I can't see clearly." He's back, his power is holding me back, and I can't see his future. β
"Useless idiot." The masked man sneered and said with jealousy: "I wasted the good things of the year, if I give me your share, I will definitely succeed, not ...... Now this is what the hell it looks like! β
The man who vomited blood did not speak, he burst into tears and was at a loss for what to do.
"Okay, take advantage of his soul to return to his place, and solve him as soon as possible." With that, the man threw two masks on the bed.
The three of them buckled their masks, climbed out of the window, and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Shuaifuli. Basilica.
Bai Yu was sitting on the animal skin chair in the main hall, and Qin Qian was standing below, reporting the situation to Bai Yu.
"That bead is a pill. I handed it over to the Bright Moon Priest to find out. I've heard some interesting anecdotes, though. Qin Qian smiled and said, "Three months ago, a merchant came to Bermuda City and said that he needed a medicinal herb. That herb only grows in the Twin Claw Valley, but the Twin Claw Valley, with its Lost Harbor, has become a forbidden place in the hearts of the city's citizens. However, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and someone took the lead, brought back five plants of that herb, and received a reward of one hundred gold. And the man also said that there are many shipwrecks at the bottom of the valley, and there are many treasures on them. So more and more people go on treasure hunting. β
"But two months ago, someone who came back from a treasure hunt said that he had seen a ghoul at the bottom of the Valley of the Twin Claws. However, there is no basis for empty words, and it is regarded as an after-dinner chatter by people. And no one took it seriously. β
Bai Yu frowned: "Does it matter?" β
Qin Qian shrugged: "Ghouls don't exist, so the people who came out of the rumors at the beginning either talked nonsense or saw something similar." And the thing that chased Ling Gu yesterday, if it was seen, it should be thought to be a ghoul. β
Bai Yu raised his eyebrows and motioned for Qin Qian to continue.
Qin Qian: "So, I first went to check the merchant who originally bought the herbs, and then unexpectedly found ...... He's the monster who chased Ling Gu yesterday. β
Hearing this, Bai Yu finally sat up straight, and a dangerous momentum emanated from him.
Qin Qian continued: "I asked the people around me, the merchant came three months ago, he has no relatives, and no one knows where he came from. The clue is broken here. Now we have to wait for the Bright Moon Priest to study what the situation of that pill is. β
"Commander." At this time, a huge figure suddenly rushed into the door of the main hall.
When I got closer, I saw that it was Boyan, but Boyan was carrying a huge leaf-wrapped cocoon.
"What is this?" Qin Qian asked curiously.
Boyan put down his things, stood up straight, and told what had happened.
When Qin Qian heard this, his face immediately changed: "It's aimed at Ling Gu." β
Yesterday's man he thought it was just a coincidence, but now it seems that it was clearly premeditated.
"Where's Ling Gu?" Bai Yu asked.
"It should have arrived at the people's livelihood office." Boyan said.
"Send this thing to the temple, give it to the Bright Moon Priest, and I'll go see ......"
"Boss, there is a situation~" Bai Yu didn't finish speaking, only heard Mu Ying's loud voice outside the door, but he didn't see Mu Ying's figure.
Bai Yu looked up, and sure enough, he saw a pink petal butterfly in the air. Bai Yu stretched out his finger, and the butterfly obediently landed on his hand, and continued to make Mu Ying's voice: "There are rumors of ghouls in the city, and according to the grapevine, many people are missing. We'll go to the people's livelihood center, and I'll ask the people at the people's livelihood center to see if anyone has reported missing from them. β
When the butterfly finished speaking, its wings trembled a little, and then it scattered into a few petals and swayed to the ground.
Bai Yu stood up and said, "Go to the people's livelihood office." β
"Yes." Qin Qian responded, and Boyan carried the "ghoul" he brought to the temple.
Bai Yu and Qin Qian didn't bring their own mounts, and went directly against the wind. The two stepped on the roof of the house, and only halfway to the road, a small bird suddenly crashed into Bai Yu's arms again. Bai Yu recognized the breath on the bird's body, so he didn't crush it.
That little bird was naturally a hummingbird released by Mu Ying. The hummingbird bumped into Bai Yu and immediately screamed, it was still Mu Ying's voice, and there were only three words over and over again: "Fight the fire!" Fight the fire! β
Before it finished finishing the second time, a cold wind caressed, and Bai Yu only left a phantom in place. Where Bai Yu was standing before, a layer of thin ice was melting into water, and the trajectory of the thin ice spreading along the roof ridge was the direction of the people's livelihood.
Qin Qian frowned slightly, grabbed the hummingbird and put it away, and then followed a little under his feet, like an arrow from the string.
