With this shout, an illusory and hazy figure loomed in the nest space.

In the blink of an eye, it condensed into an entity and stood in front of Shen Yi's eyes, it was Lan Yan.

The timing of his appearance was so coincidental, it was precisely at the moment when the guard ants attacked Shen Yi and the locusts were shooting all over the sky. With his presence, these attacks instantly turned towards him.

He obviously didn't have any mental preparation before, and he was attacked as soon as he was called over by Shen Yi, which startled Lan Yan. Seeing that the five guard ants pounced at the same time, Lan Yan stretched out his right hand completely instinctively, and with a flick of his five fingers, five delicate rays of light shot out, which were bouncing on the five guard ants.

The five fierce and powerful guard ants were snapped five times in a row by Lan Yan, and they were pushed away like a toy. Then Lan Yan shot out like lightning, conjuring up a palm shadow in the sky, and unexpectedly took down all the hundreds of flying thorns that shot in.

With a slight pinch, hundreds of flying thorns turned into ashes in his hands at the same time.

This series of actions is simple and casual, as if it is easy to come by, but all of them are just right.

Shen Yi's eyes shot violently/Jingguang - is this the strength of the generals of the five difficulties?

He didn't expect to see the general-level adventurer's move, which was greatly unexpected to him......

With a wave of his hand to shake back those soldier ants, Lan Yan looked back at Shen Yi angrily: "What are you doing, why are you looking for me in such a place at this time?"

As soon as he spoke, he knew that he had asked a nonsense question.

Obviously, that's why I'm here at the moment!

Although he didn't know that Shen Yi had come to the ant nest beforehand, he still quickly knew where he was at the moment, and quickly understood that he had inadvertently prevented Shen Yi from a disaster.

After sending a salvo of hundreds of flying spikes at Shen Yi, a large number of soldier ants had begun to disperse at this time - the queen ant was dead, and there was no need for this nest to exist.

In the empty cave, only five guard ants remained.

Shen Yi may still not be their opponent, but at this moment, Lan Yan can't watch Shen Yi being attacked.

As soon as he raised his hand, a ball of golden light was released from his five fingers to cover the five guard ants, and the five guard ants immediately couldn't move.

Lan Yan's eyes looked at Shen Yi but were already full of cold murderous intent: "You dare to take advantage of the agreement between us?" I remember I warned you, Shen Yi, the only reason you call me can only be related to the rules of the city! I can't help you with anything else! You dare to use me to deal with the black ant nest......

"Who said I was using you to deal with black ants?" Shen Yi suddenly interrupted Lan Yan's words.

These words made Lan Yan stunned, Shen Yi had already picked up the box dropped by the queen ant on the ground, and then said slowly: "You can see it clearly, this queen ant was killed by me alone, and it has nothing to do with you, right?"

Lan Yan was stunned: "But just ......"

"I can handle the situation just now, even without you. Shen Yi blocked Lan Yan's mouth with a word, and his expression was full of innocence, as if he really didn't have any intention of summoning Lan Yan to prevent disasters for himself.

Speaking of which, Shen Yi just shouted Lan Yan, and he never said anything about you helping me deal with black ants. It was completely his Lan Yan himself who appeared in the wrong position, blocking the attack of the black ants, and maybe also blocking Shen Yi's "counterattack......

With such an analysis, the behavior just now looks like Lan Yan himself is troublesome.

Anyway, for what didn't happen, Shen Yi said whatever it was. He said he could stop it, and if you argued with him, it would be futile to argue. Could it be that even if he can't stop it, he still doesn't allow others to "miscalculate"?

Therefore, Lan Yan was at a loss for words, so he could only stare at Shen Yi fiercely, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "You cunning bastard." ”

Shen Yi grinned: "Don't be so angry, as long as I don't break the rules, right?"

Lan Yan sneered: "Even if it is, I can not pursue the fact that you used me to block the disaster, but I said that you can only call me when you find a problem with the rules." If you break the rules, I still have the power to punish you. ”

Shen Yi's face was slightly solemn: "I did find a loophole in the rules. ”

"What vulnerability?"

Shen Yi smiled, "I'll ask you a question first." Every time we go to the mission world, it takes as little as three to five days, and as long as we grow into adults. For such a long time, why didn't we go hungry after we returned to the city?"

Lan Yan's face twitched, what kind of problem is this?

He had the urge to get angry, but he still endured it, and replied angrily: "Haven't you eaten in the mission world?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Yi slapped his hand: "Yes, the problem is here." We did eat in the mission world, but we didn't get it after testing. Why doesn't it despawn when we come back? If so, the longer we stay in the mission world, the more hungry we should be when we return. ”

This question was quite level, and Lan Yan sighed: "That's because those foods have entered your body and have undergone changes and become part of your body's energy. ”

"In other words, what we eat in the mission world will be transformed into the person's own energy and become one with the human body, so even if it is not approved by the appraisal, it can be brought back to the city. Isn't that so?"

"Yes. ”

"I know there are some special products in some quest worlds, I mean, like witch potions. Shen Yi said and took out a bottle of witch potion from the coat of arms: "Let me make a hypothesis." Let's say I chose to kill Tia Doma and snatch the witch potion from her. So the way to get it must be illegitimate and unrecognized, right?"

"That's right. Lan Yan already vaguely understood what Shen Yi was going to ask.

Sure enough, Shen Yi said: "But what if I took it at that time?"

Lan Yan thought for a moment and replied, "I understand what you mean. This is a minor bug, but fortunately it doesn't cause a rule conflict. We'll test you when you come back. Since we didn't do you any harm, we won't break the rules. In other words, the potions you get through non-permissible means, even if you take them at the time, will only be valid in the mission world at the time. ”

"I see, now I'll make another hypothesis. ”

Lan Yan frowned: "Where are there so many assumptions!"

"Don't worry, you listen first. Shen Yi took a moment to say, "Let's say I let my summoned soldiers use the potion obtained through informal channels, and then cancel the summoning and let them return to the space." According to the rules of the Bloody City, space managers are not allowed to take any coercive action against adventurers. The Medal of Honor is my personal trophy, and you can't force your way through to summon my soldiers, and you can't compensate for the effects of the drug. So how do you patch this vulnerability?"

Lan Yan's face changed, he thought for a while, and suddenly he scolded: "Fuck! You're fucking idle, and you're studying how to block us all day, aren't you? You can think of such an outrageous thing? If you don't complete a good task, you have to go down the wrong path?"

Shen Yi smiled: "It seems that you are going to be harmed." So...... Okay or no. ”

Lan Yan took several deep breaths in a row, trying to calm his mood, and finally said after a while: "Count you ruthless, this loophole is established." But the question is, how many people would do that? It's so rare. Guardians with special enhancement potions will most of them designate a way for you to get them, and they won't have to be too difficult, so you don't have to do the other way around. You're just deliberately trying to find an excuse for me to help you stop these ants. ”

That's right, Shen Yi did find a small loophole.

But not all vulnerabilities are valuable.

It's like you find a puppy hole in the school wall, unless you have a "special need", why bother not to go through the door and not drill the dog hole?

This loophole itself doesn't mean much, or its only meaning is to find a perfect excuse for Shen Yi to call Lan Yan and put himself in a position where he didn't break the rules.

Therefore, Shen Yi also chuckled at this moment: "So...... Anyway, I did find a loophole in the rules, so I have the right to call you out and not violate your agreement and the rules of the city, right?"

Lan Yan nodded helplessly: "Yes, that's right." My answer to what you just said is: if you can really force a potion of enhancement in this way, then congratulations, you can have it. Anyway, as long as you don't affect the rule conflict, that's easy to say...... I said, did you like to find system bugs when you used to play games?"

When he said this, the anger on Lan Yan's face had completely disappeared, and he looked at Shen Yi with interest, as if he was looking at some little monster.

"No, it's just that before entering the Bloody City, I desperately researched the loopholes in the law...... Actually, that's much easier to find than a system bug. Shen Yi shrugged.

"No wonder. Lan Yan laughed, "You are one of the funniest adventurers I've ever seen in all the years I've been in the Bloody City. Dare to break into the double C-level anthill alone to kill the ant queen, and dare to use the space manager to get out for you, very good, you did a really good job. ”

Speaking of the latter, his words were full of appreciation, not only did he not blame Shen Yi for "using" his behavior, but appreciated it a lot.

However, what is even more amazing is Shen Yi's performance, he doesn't seem to be surprised by Lan Yan's attitude at all, but more of an expression that should be like this.

You must know that Shen Yi's behavior at the moment is using Lan Yan as a summoning beast.

It is unacceptable for individuals to call the former five-difficulty general and the current space manager as summoning beasts, but Lan Yan doesn't care at all.

What he really cares about and is angry about is only whether Shen Yi has broken the rules.

As long as he doesn't violate it, then it's easy to say anything.

Not only that, after answering all of Shen Yi's questions, Lan Yan was not even in a hurry to leave.

Looking at the ant corpses all over the place, Lan Yan suddenly sighed: "At the beginning...... When we were adventurers in the ordinary area, we also broke into this black ant nest. At that time, I was standing where you are now. ”

He pointed to Shen Yi's position, and then pointed not far away: "Zisha is there, Crow, Red Dragon, and Yellow Crane are over there, and Blue Bird and White Snake are responsible for the rear defense." The seven of us fought together for half an hour, and finally killed the queen ant, and we paid a huge price ourselves......"

Lan Yan whispered softly, and memories of the past flashed in his eyes. His words are slow but powerful: "Life in the Bloody City may seem cruel and bloody to most people, but one day, when you reach the end of the road, you will look back and see that there is much to cherish." ”

"We used to be obsessed with the wandering between killing and life and death, hating and even hating the world we live in, and we wanted to get out at all costs. But when we come out one day, we may find that the freedom we hoped for may not be better than the environment in which we are already located......"

Shen Yi didn't say a word, just looked at Lan Yan and listened to him.

Lan Yan didn't say anything, as if the lyricism just now was just a momentary feeling.

He looked at Shen Yi: "You are not the first adventurer to like the Bloody City, but you are definitely the first person who has never taken the Bloody City in his eyes, only treats it as a high mountain and tries to conquer it." The vast majority of adventurers who can accept the existence of a bloody city value the atmosphere of freedom, the unrestrained environment, and the atmosphere of free killing. You, on the other hand, take pleasure in pushing the limits. This allows you to be as receptive to the place as they are, so that you can grow quickly without losing your way...... I'm very optimistic about you, Shen Yi. ”

"And then?"

"Then ......" Lan Yan groaned slightly: "Anyway, you have to admit a fact, Shen Yi...... You took advantage of me. ”

Shen Yi didn't answer, he didn't know if Lan Yan would immediately have evidence to punish him if he admitted this fact, but fortunately, Lan Yan didn't expect him to admit this, just continued: "For your use, I can choose to ignore it, or I can choose to retaliate." Although I can't kill you openly, I'm also the manager of the space, and I still have some authority. Like what...... Some bosses in the quest world may or may not get some rewards after killing, for example, in the process of performing the quest, there may or may not be some accidents, and for example, after you have completed the quest perfectly, when you make an organic choice, there may or may not be some good rewards, or there may not be ......"

He looked at Shen Yi: "I mean, as long as I want, I can still punish you." These penalties may not only affect you, but also your teammates. ”

"What do you want?" Shen Yi asked directly.

Lan Yan smiled: "This time you owe me a favor, Shen Yi." But fortunately, it is important to know that not only space managers can help adventurers, and sometimes things can be reversed. Just like the adventurer of the second difficulty also has a certain value for those who are of the fourth difficulty. The same is true for risk-takers and managers. ”

He looked at Shen Yi: "Whether it's me or Zisha, we have helped you, and maybe one day in the future, we will need your help." Hopefully, on that day, you won't turn us down. ”

Shen Yi nodded: "I understand, as long as it doesn't violate my principles, I am duty-bound." ”

"Principle...... The so-called principle is just an excuse for asking for a price. Lan Yan sneered in a low voice: "Then, there is one last thing left now." You know there's no way I'm going to help you kill those five guard ants, but with your current situation, you can't be their match at all, and how are you going to deal with them when I'm gone?"

"It's just me, certainly not their opponent. But what if it's not just me?"

Lan Yan was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized something, and looked back at the outside of the cave.

In the distance of the passage, there were faint human voices.

It was the gardener, and they and Shen Yi's airborne troops were touching the empty ant-nest passage to find Shen Yi. The conversation between Shen Yi and Lan Yan effectively bought Shen Yi the precious time he needed most.

At this moment, he is no longer alone.

Lan Yan laughed: "It turns out that your real purpose is to use me to buy time for you to wait for rescue! I really didn't expect that I not only helped you relieve the temporary crisis, but also helped you drag the time to the helper." Well done, Shen Yi. Remember, you owe me a favor!"

As he spoke, his figure began to fade until it disappeared.

With Lan Yan gone, the five guard ants finally regained their ability to move.

However, at this moment, Shen Yi no longer had to care about the attacks of the guard ants.

Because he's not alone anymore!
