Chapter 118: Ritual
"What's wrong with the eggs? Is it really a dragon egg? That businessman, is there any follow-up news? ”
In a sense, from the moment Zheng Li got double the pay, he had been kicked out of the incident by the "official".
But he was a little uneasy, and he was still paying attention to the development of the situation.
The temporary communication channel with the other two regiment leaders and their core members has become a place for him to inquire about the current situation.
"It seems to be fine, it's indeed a dragon egg. There is no problem in itself, it is still hatching, and it is a very powerful dragon beast. ”
Zheng Li was a little surprised, he originally estimated that it was very likely that the dragon egg was already stillborn, and the planner directly buckled this X basin on the head of the human being.
"It's not going to explode or anything........."
"Oh, you've got an amazing imagination...... Those black armbands asked the same question. Later, experts were asked to do several tests, and they also found a person with perspective ability, and determined that there was only biomass and a dragon soul in the process of forming, and there was no other psionic reaction, unless someone invented an unknown new technology, there should be no trap or remote control. ”
Zhao Yuzhen's side has also been busy, and after Zheng Li shared his uneasiness, Zhao Tuan Chang also felt that the situation did not seem right, and he had been looking for clues.
But no matter how you look for it, you can't seem to find a problem.
The nameless area was directly wiped out, and most of the nameless people who were resident in it were squatting in the cells, although the nameless area would recover sooner or later, but it was not a matter of one day or two, and most of the marginal people and nameless people who were outside would be people with their tails between their legs for a while.
"The merchant? Don't tell me I didn't ask anything. ”
"I did ask a few questions...... The garrison has discovered a new smuggling route, and there is a gang that specializes in making and peddling fake gems and jewelry, and that bastard has a bad habit of forcing good people into prostitution, and he really deserves to die. ”
"Dead? Wouldn't it, the black armbands are too heavy? That's not their style. ”
Zheng Li was a little surprised, the professional intelligence officer actually did such a stupid thing and cut off the clue?
"It wasn't for them to interrogate, the garrison officers were angry enough, and forcibly took people down to the dungeon, but a lot of messy things were tried, and the merchant was quite mixed, and their boss's face was angry at that time....... Oh, I almost suspect that he was killed internally. ”
"Who killed him?"
Zheng Li maintains the vigilance of a former intelligence officer, and everyone is suspicious.
"First Garrison Officer Wang Haixuan, do you remember, that old man. He didn't do it lightly or heavily. ”
Hearing that it was him, Zheng Li shook his head, this is not very likely, this old man has inquired about it himself, he has been guarding the border for thirty years, how many times he has chosen between life and death, and he is known for his short temper, and it is unlikely that something will go wrong.
But the most important thing is still .....
"Why haven't the dragons dispersed yet? The dragon egg hasn't been returned yet? ”
"I don't know. I don't know how they arranged it, it seems like they were going to do an event........"
"Event?!"
At this moment, Zheng Li vaguely felt that something was wrong, he knew too well about the urine of the bureaucrats who were far away from the emperor.

"The Egg Ceremony? That old man is crazy?! ”
When Zheng Li saw the preview of the program on TV, he felt that he was really going crazy.
He has repeatedly lowered his psychological bottom line, but he didn't expect it to be lower.
“...... We, the soldiers and the people, under the leadership of the town guards, finally found the hidden thing that caused all this. Under the communication of professionals, it is scheduled to be returned to the Black Dragon King at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and the ....... will be completely over"
In those days, the TV signal could not leave the city, and the slightly larger cities had their own television stations and newspapers.
is the hostess with the logo of Huayuan TV, with dark skin and thick limbs, she looks like a middle-aged farming aunt..... Well, considering the scale of this kind of local TV station, I wonder if it's really a part-time worker.
And the host aunt was forced to keep retreating, that "professional", Zheng Li is quite familiar with.
The outside is still around, and the people of the Peace War Group are watching TV in the lobby on the first floor.
"'Beast Whisperer' Xiaoxi, super famous, she is actually in the Hui Field Regiment of Hope, and I am also the same as her."
Seeing that his peers have already mixed up, Hu Yisaki is a little envious.
Xiaoxi, a seventeen-year-old beast child with no surname, has a strategic S-level "beast communication", and the limited target is a beast with intelligence but not too high.
The ability to possess the title at a young age is undoubtedly because it is so rare and useful.
Although the lower limit is low, as long as you meet a good team, the upper limit is incredibly high.
"Well, who's called 'Handsome Guy in the Rain' is charming. With such a boss here, who can refuse his invitation. ”
Zheng Li, who said this, had a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, he was the only one who knew about it.
But since it's none of my business, I naturally stand in the safe area and wait to see the excitement..... In the recent private hookup with the members of the Hui Field Regiment, he fully pressed the 'chicken flying egg jumping' stock.
By the way, they have the lowest odds in the group, and everyone is most optimistic about "all shares", "Ma Deputy Group eats the big head + one or two shares", and everyone is very confident in the charm of Head Zhao.
"Xiaoxi's words, it's indeed a pity, this ability has long been done by himself, and it's really a bit of a waste to work as an assistant for Head Zhao."
Wu Sanjun on the side shook his head, it would be a pity that such a powerful ability was not used to tempt a few powerful beasts.
Shirtless, he was still sitting in a corner of the living room doing push-ups, sweat dripping down the floor.
A little better, he couldn't be idle for a moment....... Seeing him working so hard, the little tiger, who is also in the melee system, and the position is still vaguely overlapping, is also a little unable to sit still, while watching TV, he also holds a dumbbell in his hand and moves from time to time.
But judging from the way she looked at Zheng Li from time to time, heh, the motive was not very simple.
But Zheng Li doesn't really care, as long as he is willing to do it and make an effect.
Even if you show me a show, practicing in place is a plus...... At least a few times Zheng Li looked over, her posture was indeed in place, not just a look.
Zheng Li nodded, he also knew from the rabbit these days, and Hu Yisaki practiced very diligently in private, so it seemed that he was really afraid.
On TV, behind the creek are two human-tall beasts, a snow-colored cat with a sparkling body, and a rare bat-winged snake.
"Not only does it come with a strong bodyguard, but it also has practical flying ability, Xiaoxi is really powerful, that is..... Well, individuals have their own pursuits, but it's a bit of a pity. I have also heard of Zhao Yuzhen, I heard that it is quite powerful, but the age is there, who knows how many years it will take. If the creek comes out and goes it alone, it will definitely be faster. ”
Wu Sanjun is right, if Xiaoxi has some ambitions and goals, and comes out to form a group by himself, he only needs to recruit some guards and auxiliary personnel, and use the current combat power of the alien beasts from the communication to easily form a powerful battle group.
Once you have a certain strength, you can recruit new and stronger beasts, and you will snowball.
Now many well-known warbands are rolling up with one or two core members like this, and many big masters are even more straightforward to put their abilities in the team recruitment column.
In particular, support abilities that are helpful to other team members and the team as a whole are often more attractive to newcomers than strong combat abilities...... After all, a strong boss can't boost morale as much as an assistant/nurse to keep herself alive/stronger.
The strength of others is always someone else's, and the security and growth efficiency that the team can provide (including the speed of resource acquisition) are the core elements of selecting a team.
If you use the beast whisperer's fellow beast as cannon fodder in the front row with the highest battle loss rate...... The main force on the front line, the survival rate of others is naturally high, not to mention the daily mine-stepping exploration work.
“...... Rare alien beast communication ability? Is that why the Beast Whisperer and Hope Teruno were called? Under normal circumstances, talents trained in reserve will not be transferred to the front-line reinforcements. Uh........"
Zheng Li nodded thoughtfully, and took out the local map.
Tomorrow's "Egg Returning Ceremony" will be held outside the North Gate, and there will be live anchors at that time.
The local garrisons were eager to declare their merits in this way, to declare that everything was back to normal, and to inform the people that commerce and freight could be fully restored.
At that time, the city wall of the north gate was still full of lively people.
The terrain of the north gate is good, which should also be the result of careful selection.
The relatively empty plain area, with high cliffs and mountains on the left, and forests on the periphery, there are no obvious lurking spots.
Zheng Li wrote and drew on the map, one point, two points........
"There are still not enough people, let's discuss it with them."
