The food was quickly presented, a large pot of thick millet porridge, and it was still sweeter to eat with a croissant that could not be held in one hand, Bai Leng took a fancy to a small plate of blackberry jam in front of everyone, and asked the little maid Lily for the recipe, but was met with the eyes of others. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"A unique secret recipe, according to which it will not be leaked!" Lily tilted her head firmly, ignoring the high-quality [Rosemary Roasted Cave Rabbit] recipe that Bai Leng wanted to take out in exchange.

"Mother-in-law, are there any hunters in your village, or people who live on the mountains and forests?" Bai Leng asked as he ate.

It was a very coincidence that this old grandmother's name was Janet, which inevitably made Bai Leng's favorability of her skyrocket.

"There don't seem to be hunters, most of the people in the village work in the mines in front of them, and a small number of them grow wheat to raise chickens, and Jason and Bart sometimes go into the mountains to catch some wild animals to improve their food, but they don't dare to go deeper, after all, there are still fierce beasts." Janet sat in a chair behind the counter and watched the group of guests gobble up, "Are you guys in trouble?" ”

"Did you know that something happened in the mine today?" Zhang Long spoke: "Several people died, we are here for this matter, and we want to see if the locals have any solutions." ”

"What?" Janet got up suddenly: "How many dead?" Ahem...... Mother God bless, please forgive these poor honest people, they have endured so much in their lives, why should they ...... Ahem, ahem. ”

"Grandma!" Lily rushed over in a panic and helped the old man sit down, Rong Zixin walked over with a teapot in three or two steps, and poured a glass of water for the old man.

"Thank you," Janet took the teacup and calmed down for a moment, "No wonder they haven't come back so late, they used to come to me every night at 6 o'clock to say hello, it's so uncomfortable." ”

"Excuse me, we've been down to the mine once, but we haven't been able to get rid of those nasty insects, so please remember if any of your friends in the village have ever dealt with a creature called the Gold-Eating Fire Ant?"

Bai Leng walked up to Janet's side and said sincerely.

"Ants? Uncle Colby doesn't know if he's been in contact with ......," Lily thought as she frowned.

"Colby? Who is that? Zeng Wenyuan hurriedly grasped this point.

"Uncle Colby is a strange person, he usually doesn't go out, he always stays at home and fiddles with some bottles and cans, but he is very good, and the medicine that my mother-in-law drinks every day is taken from him, and the last time I saw a big bottle in his house with a lot of strange bugs, do you want to ask him?"

"Thank you, little beauty, for telling us how to go."

After paying for the meal, Lily, with her grandmother's permission, took the group directly to the door of the mysterious figure Colby.

"I have to go back, if you want to stay for a long time, why don't you come and stay in our store for one night, there is a spare room."

Bethlem pushed Paul out and motioned for him to send him back, while the rest of the men stood in the doorway of the hut with an eerie green glow, muttering.

"Let's try, if it doesn't work."

Rong Zixin was about to knock on the door, but the door opened automatically, revealing a miserable green pointed face.

"Ahh Zeng Wenyuan was so frightened that he hugged Zhang Long directly, but was ruthlessly pushed away by the latter.

"Uh, hello, we're ......"

"The Oracle One."

As soon as the green-faced Colby spoke, everyone couldn't answer, he rolled his eyes, looked at the people one by one, and got out of the way: "Come in." ”

Walking into the only hut in the village made of thatch and mud, you find that the space inside does not look like it looks like it has three large tables lined with instruments and storage jars that take up at least ten square meters, but there is still a small bed, a few stools and a huge bookshelf in other places.

"This ......"

"Oh, a little trick, stolen from the Arcanist."

"You ......"

"Don't be surprised, Mahi, the oracle, the legendary child of fate, the god of wisdom and illusion, told me everything early this morning." Colby walked over to his lab bench: "Feel free to sit down." ”

Several people were uncomfortable for a while by his way of talking, and Zhang Long tentatively said: "Then we ......"

"But Lord Mahi is not omnipotent, and the discerning eye can only see cause and effect, but cannot fully foresee the connection between them." Colby used a dropper-like glass device to smoke a tube of dark green liquid: "So, tell me, what do you want me to help you?" ”

Ah, this attitude really makes people feel like they want to vomit and can't open their mouths when they are fed a strange slurry, Zhang Long endured it several times before he suppressed the dirty words in his throat, and said angrily: "Since you are so awesome, how can you not know that some miners in the village will lose their lives today?" If you're really a good person, why don't you use your foreknowledge to give them a word or two to help them avoid this fate? ”

"If you change the position of one of these nodes rashly, then this piece of satin will be knitted farther and farther in an unpredictable direction. If I do that, not only will I be subject to the backlash of the law, but the miners may not be able to die as peacefully as you think. ”

Colby poured a tube of green liquid into a long metal tube, plugged it, and shook it violently.

Bai Leng watched him perform a series of unknown experiments with an expressionless face, and suddenly the other party's face changed: "Damn! ”

Like a nimble monkey, he jumped over the bench to the window and threw the tube out of his hand with all his might.

Everyone's eyes flew into the air with the metal pipe that reflected the flames, and then Bang exploded into a cloud of green smoke.

"Ahem, I'm smiling." He scratched his greasy, half-length hair.

"So that's why your face is green?" Zhang Long didn't give the other party time to react, and quickly spit out this sentence.

Colby touched his face: "Alas, this is the end of not wearing a mask for a while." ”

"Mr. Colby, we don't want to delay you too much, so let's ask you if you know anything about a species called the Golden-eating Fire Ant."

"It's because of this thing, most of these ants live on Tolan's side, and live by ingesting a tiny creature in the ore and some other omnivorous, and its appearance here can only be said to be a small probability event."

"Truth be told, that mine is now run by my friends, and they're on the verge of pulling their hair for it. I've already fought the ants once, and we've lost them because there are so many of them, so I'm wondering if there's a good way to get rid of them permanently, rather than cutting them down. ”

"It's no less difficult than cutting the roots," Colby said, "The only thing I can do for you is to make a little medicine for that ant bite, or some ointment to mask your smell, but it seems to be a little far from your ultimate goal." ”

"Why don't you think differently, sir?" Paul didn't know when he walked in through the door: "We always think about resistance or prevention, but we forget that sometimes active attraction is also a way to defeat the enemy. ”

Several people in the room stared at him blankly, and Colby was particularly surprised when he saw the boy, and his work stopped, as if Leon had first seen Matilda huddled in the hallway, as if 1900 had seen the quiet girl on the deck through the porthole.

"yes, I'm so stupid." He muttered.
