Chapter 42: The Token with Blood
Li Yiheng couldn't understand the news coming back, and watched the two guards wait for them to translate for him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Realizing the urgency of the situation, the two guards did not immediately translate to Li Yiheng, but pulled Li Yiheng from left to right towards the place where the news came. Xiao Ji saw the reaction of the guards, and didn't wait for them, and flicked his tail and passed first.
Li Yiheng let them pull him and asked, "You better tell me about it." ”
The two guards glanced at each other, and a slight embarrassment flashed in their eyes, and finally the guard on the left spoke, "They found Princess Lisa's token, and besides, the token was stained with blood. ”
"Lisa is injured?" Li Yiheng was also shocked when he heard it, if Lisa was really injured, if she didn't get timely medical treatment, I was afraid that her life would be in danger. Originally, I thought that Lisa was just taken away, but I didn't expect to be injured.
The guard nodded, "It's indeed Princess Lisa's own blood." The tokens of the princesses are made of special materials, and no one's blood can be touched except their own blood. The token is both a symbol of their respective identities and a signal in case of danger. Tokens are sensitive to each other, and if anyone has blood on their tokens, the other princesses' tokens will also be affected. ”
"So, now Liya or Lini or other princesses already know?" Although it was very uncomfortable to be dragged in the water, Li Yiheng didn't have to pay attention to it at this time. Xiao Ji was not there, so he couldn't help himself, so he could only let him be dragged by the two guards.
The guard swam forward quickly as he answered Li Yiheng's question, "Yes, their token should have received the message." ”
The guards were right, it was Leah who was the first to receive the message. In order for Lea to know the situation of each sister at any time, she connected their tokens with her own tokens.
Lea looked at the outline of the blood stains that appeared on the token, and was frightened, looking at the queen beside her, and wondering whether to tell the queen or not.
The queen turned back to order the warriors behind her, but found Leah, who looked unusual. Thinking of Lisa, whose situation was unknown, the queen took a deep breath and said, "It's Lisa's business...... Say, the queen mother can stand it......"
"Queen Mother...... It's Lisa's token......" Lia said, handing the token to the queen. The tokens of their sisters were all made by the queen herself, and the queen naturally knew what kind of situation represented what it meant.
The queen didn't pick up the token in Leah's hand, and looking at the bloodstained outline on the token, the queen stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Leah hurriedly stepped forward to support the queen, "Queen Mother, this is not necessarily...... Although it seems that Lisa is injured, it is also possible that Lisa deliberately left us a message...... This is all ...... I can't say ......."
Leah's original intention was to comfort the queen, but when it came to the back, she found that she couldn't make up her words, and she didn't even believe herself, so how could she ask others to believe it?
The queen took Lia's hands, took a deep breath, and forced a smile, "You're right, Lisa is so smart, maybe she left a message on purpose...... She's going to be fine......"
"Eun, Queen Mother, it must be like this. Leah echoed the Queen's words. At this time, there is only self-deception to have a little comfort.
Li Yiheng was dragged by two guards to the place where Lisa's token was found, and the guards who had been waiting there for a long time hurriedly greeted him, "Mr. Li." ”
"Where's the token?" asked Li Yiheng as he searched around, and before the guards could return, he saw Lisa's token on a fork of coral.
Li Yiheng took a closer look at the placement of the token, and the token pointed to a road away from the corals. The surrounding coral gaps are also crowded with whiskers, but these whiskers are dead, unlike those in other places.
Li Yiheng picked up the token and observed it carefully, and there were indeed a lot of blood stains on the edge of the token. But the blood stains didn't look even, not like they were stained, but more like they were smeared one by one.
If it was really painted one by one, then it should have been Lisa's own work, so what is the message that Lisa wants to deliver?
Regardless of whether this direction is accurate or not, the mere fact that Lisa has time to place the token doesn't mean that the situation is not too bad. And she still had time to smear the blood on the token, so it seemed that Lisa's situation might not be as critical as she thought.
Just as Li Yiheng was taking a closer look at the token, another group of guards also rushed over. Li Yiheng thought for a while and asked, "In addition to the mutual induction, this token should also have an induction to their respective owners, right?"
"It should be. The guard closest to Li Yiheng replied, "But I haven't seen this kind of induction used by the princesses before, and I don't know if it's accurate." ”
Li Yiheng looked at the guards and raised his eyebrows: Speaking of which, Lisa is still the first and the first princess to be captured?
The guard nodded and replied, "Not really." Princess Lini had been caught once, but she was quickly rescued, not like Princess Lisa. ”
Well, speaking of which, Lisa was unlucky, she wasn't taken away when she was caught, she was taken away when she was caught.
Li Yiheng put the token in his pocket and said to the nearest guard, "I'll take the others to chase in the direction first, and you go back to report to the queen, just say that although Lisa has been arrested, the situation is not too bad." If possible, call a few more people to help. ”
"Yes, Mr. Lee. The guards saluted Li Yiheng's words, and said to the other guards, "I'll go back now to spread the word, you follow Mr. Li, and listen to his arrangements in everything." ”
"Yes, Lord. The other seven guards agreed in unison. Only then did Li Yiheng know that this was still a commander, no wonder he knew so much.
The news of Lisa's arrest was known only to a few people at first, and no one has known about it since. This is also done to ensure the stability of people's hearts, if everyone in the city is captured, then the whole of Mantis will only be left with panic.
Therefore, the queen's sadness can only be hidden by herself, and she does not leave it in front of the warriors.
The animals that first attacked each other had already killed each other, but the strong smell of blood also attracted a lot of predatory fish. These big fish are eating away at the remaining wreckage outside, and there is another big battle between each other for food, and it is inevitable that they will attack Mantis during this period, so a new round of weapon attacks begins again.
This time, with the queen in charge, after the weapon attack stopped, the queen quickly manipulated the water flow to wash the blood to other places, and the big fish outside gradually dissipated as the smell of blood dissipated. Since the queen ordered someone to remove the aquatic weeds where Lisa was captured, the entire outer city has been removed.
I don't know if I don't see it, but I was shocked when I saw it, and the coral groups below the entire outer city were crowded with whiskers. Instead of attacking on the periphery, the bearded men desperately drilled towards the inner city. In the end, I don't know if it was because I couldn't reach the inner city, or if I made a mistake in judgment, all the whiskers stretched out the outer city closest to the inner city and began to attack.
The reason why Mantis was built on a coral group was actually a defense. If it is built directly on the bottom of the sea, then as long as the top of Mantis is suppressed, the entire Mantis will have no way to survive.
However, it is different when built on corals, where large fish cannot come in and attack, and can rely on the current to push various defensive equipment. The coral formations beneath the inner city were artificially constructed, separating the inner city from the outer city at all times to form a new defensive system.
Such a Mantean seems to be easily besieged by enemies everywhere, but in fact it is full of life.
The enemy on the outside has been dealt with, and now only the whiskers on the inside remain. Queen, Li Yiheng and others have solved a few places before, but none of them in other places have been resolved. The queen wanted to go in person, but Leah stopped her, "Queen Mother, take a rest, I'll go." ”
The queen looked at Leah and forced a smile, "The queen mother is fine......
"Report - Your Majesty!"
Liya followed the sound and recognized that it was the commander of the guards who had been arranged to follow Li Yiheng. Apparently the queen recognized the commander of the guards, and said eagerly, "How's it going?"
The commander of the guards crouched at the queen's feet and did not answer, but Liya remembered that she couldn't make a noise, so she grabbed the queen, suppressed the emotion in her voice and said, "Get up, take a step forward and reply." ”
The queen reacted after listening to Liya's words, didn't say anything more, stared at the guards, grabbed Liya's hand and trembled unconsciously, "Come forward and reply." ”
The queen spoke, and the commander of the guards stood up and stepped forward, and the surrounding warriors and guards all consciously retreated a few steps after listening to the queen's words. The queen obviously has something confidential to say, so naturally she can't listen to it. You know, secrets are such things, it's better to know less.
The commander of the guards stepped forward and repeated Li Yiheng's words to the queen. The queen said excitedly, "Really?"
"Yes. The commander of the guards replied affirmatively, "Mr. Li has already gone after him, and he said that if it is convenient, he hopes to send a few more people over." ”
"Good, good. The queen replied with a fold of voices, gesturing to the guards behind her, "They...... You go pick a few...... No...... They all follow you. ”
The commander of the guard looked in the direction pointed by the queen and hesitated, "Your Majesty, these are the most elite of your personal guards...... You'd better save some......"
"No, I'll be fine in the city, you take them to save Lisa. The queen waved her hand, and a commanding guard came out of the guards behind her, and the queen pointed to the commander of the guards who wanted to persuade her again, "You take your people and follow him." ”
The commander of the guards who came out from behind looked at the person he was about to follow, frowned, but still responded, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
Eric slipped out of the infirmary and wanted to go to the outer city that the apprentice said was going to find Li Yiheng and Lisa. But after going out, he found that the place where he was was hung up, and he stood on the edge and looked below, about 20 meters high. But the good thing is that it's in the water, just swim down.
When Eric came down, he realized that there was no such road as the grass above, so he had to find a thicker section of coral to stand on. The bearded hands among the corals were still there, and Eric was curious to pick them out, and found that they would still move.
Eric was thinking about where to find Li Yiheng, and he didn't notice the danger behind him. Several bearded hands are silently approaching Eric, and if he is hit, Eric is likely to start falling asleep again.
"Be careful!"
Eric suddenly woke up, and when he heard the sound, he looked up to see a mermaid brandishing a spear and stabbing at him. Eric didn't have a weapon in his hand, so he had to squat with his head in his hands and shout, "My name is Eric, I'm here to find someone, not a bad guy!"
The mermaid secretly rolled her eyes when she heard Eric's words, ignored him, and with a burst of gunfire, she broke the beard behind Erik.
"Hey, I didn't stab you. The mermaid patted Eric on the shoulder and said, "There is a bearded hand attacking you, and I am here to save you." ”
Eric let go of his hands holding his head and stood up, there were indeed some severed bearded hands floating around, well, he did misunderstand. Eric smiled sheepishly, "My name is Eric, thank you for saving me." ”
"Eric?" the mermaid said in an unkind tone, looking Eric up and down, "You're not a Mantean. ”
Eric looked at his feet and replied, "Well, I'm not from Mantees, I'm a friend of Li Yiheng, and I'm here with him." Do you know where he is?"
"Mr. Lee?" the mermaid stared into Eric's eyes, wondering if Eric's words could be trusted.
Eric thought for a moment and said, "Can you take me to him?"
"I'll take you to him. The mermaid didn't bother to think about Eric's words anymore, anyway, when she saw Li Yiheng, she understood, "However, you can't run around." ”
Eric nodded in response, "Okay, I'll follow you closely, and I'll never run around." ”
The mermaid took Eric to find the place where Lini was, Lini looked at Eric behind the mermaid, thought about it and pointed to the broken mouth and said, "Li Yiheng went down from here." ”
"Ahh
Lini replied vaguely, "He...... He's gone to save people......"
"Save people?" Who needs Li Yiheng to save them? Looking at Lini's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Eric suddenly understood, I am afraid that Lisa is in danger, if it is someone else, how can Li Yiheng go. Thinking like this, Eric was in a hurry, and he also plunged headlong towards the fracture.
Lini tried to stop Eric, but she was still a step too slow, "Hey-"
Lini wanted to stop Eric, but she was stopped by the mermaid who brought Eric, "Lini, what's going on?"
Lisa ...... It's okay, it's Li Yiheng who went to save people. Lini replied with a dry smile. Lia had told Lisa that she had gone missing, and she couldn't tell anyone else, not even the other sisters.
Lishan shook off Lini's hand and said to her, "Fifth sister, since you were a child, as long as you lie, you will laugh with you, and your hand will unconsciously turn your back. So, don't try to lie to me. ”
