Chapter 206: The Return of the Whistling Castle
Thank?
Link was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Li Ziqian meant.
This is to thank him for saving Benjamin from the library before.
I've always been verbally thanking before, and I haven't found a good opportunity to thank him formally.
Coupled with Link's current status as the head of the Qilin Hall in the slums, if he is grateful as a military officer, it is very likely that he will do bad things with good intentions.
So taking the opportunity of this expedition, Li Ziqian found an opportunity to teach Link the mastery that he relied on to become famous.
"Then I'll be disrespectful."
This thank you was something Link didn't expect, but it was the most in line with his heart.
In addition to the animal army, his own offensive methods are lackluster.
Now that I have learned Li Ziqian's stunt military way killing boxing, it can be said that I have one more hole card.
And this skill is far more powerful than other skills.
400 direct damage, 100 bleeding damage.
A single skill deals 500 damage, and double damage to enemies in the 'Weakened' or 'Armor Pierced' state.
In the past, when fighting with elite-level NPCs, they basically relied on skills to 'grind to death', but now with this skill, Link is equivalent to mastering a slashing skill, as long as the blood volume is less than 500 points, he can be killed in seconds.
Benjamin on the side was already dumbfounded.
I didn't expect Brother Lin to be able to fight back and forth with Captain Li.
Ah Fu, who was barbecing meat in the back, was not surprised, after all, it was the boss who fought with his hands, and if he could use an army of animals, then Captain Li would be very embarrassed.
"It's baked, everyone can come and eat." Ah Fu finally seasoned the barbecue to bring out the wonderful taste of the ingredients.
Li Ziqian and Link took off their gloves and came back side by side.
Benjamin glanced at Li Ziqian and couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Captain Li, you actually laughed!" ”
Benjamin rarely saw Li Ziqian smile, and when he was happy, he also had a tense face, and the corners of his mouth showed an extremely reserved and undetectable smile.
With such a hearty smile today, Benjamin searched through his memory and never saw it a few times.
Li Ziqian smiled: "Maybe it's been a long time since it's been so easy." ”
He's been wanting to fight Link for a long time, and today he finally got his wish.
And he also taught his own mastery as a thank you.,But a wish.。
After lunch, everyone rested for a while and began to explore the Whistling Castle.
There are still traces of a campfire in the hall of the Whistling Castle, but the blackened charcoal fire has been covered with a layer of dust, and there are still footprints on the ground.
Although it was noon, the sunlight outside could only shine into the castle through sporadic cracks.
A ray of sunlight hits the ground, and the dust drifting in the air can be clearly seen where the pillar of light is cast, like an active elf.
Li Ziqian lifted his arm clothes, revealing the portable detector on his armguard.
Clicking the button, soon a circle of radio waves rippled across the screen, and five bright spots appeared on the screen that came together.
The radio waves continued to spread outward, soon to the edges of the screen.
Benjamin turns into a curious baby and begins to explore the old staircase to the second floor.
Link breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Ziqian's detection, leaned in to take a look, and couldn't help but ask, "What is the detection standard for this thing?" ”
Seeing Li Ziqian take out the detector just now, Link chuckled in his heart, for fear that the silver marching ants underground would be discovered.
As a result, the detector showed only five bright spots, namely the four people and the treasure hunt rat on Link's shoulder.
He was very familiar with the game in his previous life, but he was not very familiar with some of the scientific equipment of the Shadu military, and Li Ziqian was still the mainstay of the military, and the equipment he used was definitely not the kind of road goods that ordinary soldiers used.
"You said the Life Detector, this thing can detect the heartbeat of living beings, and it's the kind that enhances power." After Li Ziqian finished speaking, he added: "After all, he is the only son of Commander Moon, so you have to be careful when you come out to explore." ”
Link nodded in understanding, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he knew the principle of the detector.
"Then you can keep up, although there is no one here, but I see that this staircase is in disrepair and is already a dangerous house, but don't have any accidents."
Li Ziqian nodded and glanced at the Whistling Castle.
This was the former headquarters of the battle against the Mechanics, and the vicinity has been bombed, and it has been abandoned for more than forty years, so it is indeed a dangerous house.
"What about you?"
Link waved his hand and said, "This kind of expedition is not interesting, I will wander around the castle, and finally we will meet here." ”
Li Ziqian looked at Benjamin, who had already walked a little far, and nodded without thinking: "Okay, let's meet here at the end." ”
After speaking, he took three or two steps and chased after him.
When the two of them left, Link also waved his hand to Ah Fu and said, "Okay, let's go outside for a stroll." ”
Link and Ah Fu walked out of the castle and found a secret passage in an abandoned grass and entered the underground passage.
Link made his way to the underground passage chamber and opened the walls that had been sealed by the silver marching ants.
When the searchlight shone on the huge nest, Link's eyes widened.
I saw that the silver tree-like ant nest was growing stronger and stronger, and the silver marching ants on the ant nest were densely packed, and the number of them had increased a lot compared to when they left more than a month ago.
Looking at the ground again, the 'food' left before was completely gone, and all of them were brought to the silver queen by the marching ants, and after eating, they became new marching ants.
Link stepped forward, and the marching ants on the ground receded like a tidal wave, making way for them.
The marching ants on the nest also spread out, revealing a dormant silver queen in the center of the nest.
After eating dozens of kilograms of metal, the silver queen's body became more and more metallic, shining under the searchlight. will
Link reached out and touched the silver queen's extremely large abdomen, and as soon as he touched the silver queen's tentacles, he shook back and forth, sensing Link's arrival.
"Ah Fu, take out all the things you have prepared."
Ah Fu fixed the searchlight to the wall, then took off his backpack and poured out all the contents in one go.
Countless pieces of metal clattered and fell, piling up into a hill high.
From iron frames to metal nuts and safes made of various metals, almost all the metal products you can see on the market are placed here.
"This is the food that has been brought to you, and you will have to continue to work hard for a while."
The silver queen seemed to understand Link's words, and the two small tentacles on the door of her head tapped on the back of Link's hand.
The silver marching ants were all excited when they 'smelled' the metal.
Link glanced at the marching ants all over the ground, took a bucket-sized container from Ah Fu's hand, and began to direct three silver marching ants to walk into the bucket, eventually collecting more than fifteen thousand silver marching ants.
Before leaving, Link acknowledges the work of the Silver Marching Ants in rebuilding the castle, and also gives the Silver Queen the task of 'Riot'.
The metal brought this time is enough for the silver queen to eat for a while, and it can produce a steady stream of marching ants every day.
Under normal conditions, the silver queen ant can produce 1,000 marching ants per day, and the riot skill lasts for a day, and the production capacity is increased by 10 times, that is, it can produce 10,000 marching ants a day, which basically makes up for the loss that Link took away today.
Link didn't dare to stay in the underground cave for too long, for fear that Li Ziqian and Benjamin would discover the secret of the Whistling Castle.
A sealed bucket of water containing silver marching ants was placed in Ah Fu's enhanced backpack, and the two of them walked out of the secret passage.
Not long after Link returned to the hall of Whistling Castle, Benjamin and Li Ziqian also returned.
Benjamin had an extremely excited smile on his face, and as soon as he saw Link in the distance, he hurriedly shouted: "Brother Lin, there is indeed something strange in the Whistling Castle!" ”
Link chuckled in his heart, could it be that Benjamin and Li Ziqian had discovered something?
"In the course of our exploration, we found several corpses, as well as signs of shooting. There were also blood stains in the corridor on the second floor. The results of Captain Li's appraisal were all made more than a month ago, but the corpses of the battle, the carrion were all gone, and only one was left, as if all the flesh and blood had been eaten by something! ”
"And after Captain Li checked it, he found that the few white bones that died were all from the Machine God Cult."
Benjamin was excited.
Adventure is about discovering something different.
"So I guess that the haunted dead man I said some time ago at night must have encountered some kind of creature." Benjamin was sure.
Link didn't expect Benjamin's silly conjecture to be so close to the truth.
But what shocked him even more was that Li Ziqian was able to identify these people as members of the Mechanicus God Cult by a few skeletons.
"Didn't Benjamin say that the corpses have turned into bones, how can you tell that they are from the Mechanicus Cult?"
"Bones speak. Among those people, the arm bones are abnormally thick, and the large bones have signs of degeneration, which can be seen at a glance as the reason for wearing mechanical equipment, and the corpses are very distinctive, and they are fanatics of the Mechanicus God Cult at first glance. It's just that I can't figure out who they have encountered, and how dare they chase them to the Valley of Weeping. ”
Li Ziqian was born in the army, and after examining several corpses, he found traces of bullets and battles, and finally marks on bones that resembled steel brushes.
Link nodded imperceptibly, this criminal investigation technique is really awesome.
Li Ziqian circled down and almost completely restored the situation at that time.
"Shall we stay overnight then?"
Before Li Ziqian could make a decision, Benjamin took the lead in shaking his head and said, "If it's a swarm creature, then forget it, we can go back in the afternoon." ”
Li Ziqian also nodded and said, "If it's a man or a beast, I'd like to see it." If it's an insect, our strength is like hitting cotton directly, and there is no chance of winning. After careful consideration, we had better go back before the evening. ”
In the afternoon, the four of them walked outside for a while, and then drove back to Shadu.
Link was very satisfied with this trip to Wuthering Castle, and after watching the repair period of Wuthering Castle, the silver marching ants were working diligently every day. He also brought back 15,000 silver marching ants.
Last time, more than 3,000 marching ants could already cause terrifying damage, but this time it has directly increased fivefold, and there are more situations that can be dealt with.
There are two more key points.
One is that he learned from Li Ziqian, and the other is that he learned the news that the Wasteland Gang had entered Shadu.
After Link returned to Qilin Hall, he immediately sent the news to the third child, asking him to send the news out and keep an eye out for the unknown Wasteland Gang personnel appearing in the territory.
Fifteen thousand silver marching ants were dropped into his yard by Link.
In an instant, the little ones were in the dirt and vanished.
……
Uptown, Moros Building.
"Is this the kid's plan, wonderful! It's not in vain that I've been waiting for so many days. ”
Moros flipped through the materials in his hand, and his mouth kept praising them.
The secretary Kohler stood aside, no expression on his face, but he was extremely unhappy.
The boss has never praised a person so much, let alone a light tone and a comfortable mood.
He had also read the report in advance when it was submitted.
It's nothing more than to first draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and get rid of the underground vault of Baihetang unconsciously, and then find an alibi.
When the Qinglong Boss was ready to annex the White Crane Hall, he united with Gu Lao, Mina and Lei Jiuzhi, and borrowed flowers to offer Buddha through the gold of the White Crane Hall, and obtained the qualification of the upper hall, and turned into the new sixth hall of the Caoyun Gang.
Aren't these 'Ji Cao Don't 6', why would the boss praise it so much.
Moros looked through all the documents again and shook his head.
"In less than a month, this guy has gone from a mud leg in the slum to the hall master of the Qilin Hall. It seems that the slums will be interesting in the future. After all this time, Shadu is finally going to get interesting......"
"Kohler, what do you think?"
Khloe was nodded by Moros, and his first reaction was to lower his head, think for a moment and ask, "Boss, although I also think Link is good, it seems that I can't afford to be so praised." Even the Shining and Nightmare, which are the first and second on the killer list in recent years, have not aroused such interest in you. ”
Moros smiled and said, "One of the academy's tool people, the other is a mouse who only dares to peep in dreams, what can be interesting." Anyway, how long did it take you to climb from a civilian to the boss of the hall? ”
Kohler was silent for a moment and said, "Three months." ”
"And how long did Link take?"
"20 days."
"Do you understand the gap?"
"Forgive my subordinates for being stupid and not understanding."
"You're no different from The Shining Nightmare, you're just relying on personal prowess. And Link is different, he is taking advantage of the situation and borrowing strength, don't look at him now he is just the master of a hall, but he already has a lot of labels behind him. John, Platinum Hotel, Military, Gangs, Moon Shadow Council...... He already has multiple identities. And all you see is the Lord of the Church, and that's your problem. ”
"No matter how strong an individual is, he is just a knife in the hands of the strong. Even if John is the king of killers, it is just a sharp blade on the road to the rise of the Platinum Hotel. The pattern of life must be big, and if you want to do it, you still have to be the boss of one party. When you are needed by many people, many people will keep you safe......"
"What do you think will happen to the sand if I die?"
: Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommended ticket!
