Chapter 193: The Conspiracy for the Mayor's Death
After the explosion, Torres slowly swam out of the safety bunker, and the beads and beads. The three of them didn't seem to be happy, although the battle seemed to be victorious, and facing the big round pit in front of them, they felt that such a battle result could not heal the pain caused by the battle. There are too many such craters in the Pacific Ocean to be counted, and soon after the sea water and silt are washed away, they will be filled in and buried deeply, like a big hand erasing another memory, hiding the pain of the sea.
The sand and dust filled the surrounding sea and gradually fell, like the smoke of gunpowder gradually dissipating from the battlefield. A clump of lion's mane jellyfish slowly landed on the ground, slowly opening its curled umbrella-shaped body, and the jellyfish enchantress slipped out of it. The lion's mane jellyfish was dead. At the time of the big bang, the jellyfish enveloped the jellyfish and protected the pet owner.
The three of Torres helped the jellyfish enchantress who was not dead but was seriously injured and unconscious to return to his life, and how to explain to him when the jellyfish enchantress woke up and told her that she had once again lost her husband Lingfeng who had been looking for many years?
The gray-robed patriarch Whitelov hurried to do some aftermath work on the ruins. At the same time, he also brought with him the White Spirit Monk, the Great Sapper, and the Night Spirit Officer. Together, they summoned their respective fangfish, ethereal lionfish, cone-jawed weevilfish, and light-eyed fish to search for the whereabouts of the Spirit Wind and all the evidence that would prove that the giant worm was dead.
The search is proceeding in an orderly manner. After searching for a long time, the four of them exchanged opinions, and they all agreed that Lingfeng had died a heroic battle. And in a large corner covered with mud and sand, half of a bobbit giant worm was found submerged under the sand. Slowly digging through the sand, revealing the stump of a giant insect that was no longer able to move, although it was scarred, its appearance still made people feel a certain inexplicable fear and arrogance.
"Fellow friends, this explosion has left the Spirit Wind away from us forever. Strangely, the head of the giant worm has not found enough fragments to prove that Acantero is dead, so we will leave the two possibilities for now. "One possibility is that half of the giant worm's head and Akentero have been blown away, and the other possibility is that the giant worm's head and Akentero have escaped in the smoke, leaving the broken tail to confuse us."
"So, what's next?" The White Spirit Monk asked.
"In this way, we divide the work," Bailov said, "We will divide the three routes, and I will go to find people to rush to Hero Town, and let them strengthen their guard to prevent a sneak attack." The second way back to the Imperial City to report to them to be vigilant to prevent the giant insect head from coming back, and the third way to stay here to guard the giant insect tail and report immediately if there is any abnormality. ”
……
Hero Town has always produced many heroes, and although the population is small, every mermaid in the town is good at fighting and has excellent skills. It is hoped that the exuberant popularity accumulated in this town for nearly a thousand years will deter those foreign bandits with evil intentions and good intentions, so that they will retreat and leave far away.
There is an area in the town that is densely covered with thriving seaweed. Together with the many reefs and stone walls that naturally exist inside, it forms a mysterious palace of seaweed and reefs. And in the mystery palace is hidden a stone cave, the cave is spacious and comfortable, and it also houses the caged guests who were rescued before. Originally, their crisis had been resolved, because of Acantero's escape, and the Empress had placed them in seclusion out of concern for their safety. The person in charge of the protection task is Ku Tianxing, so even if he hears the rumbling shelling explosion outside the town from a distance, Ku Tianxing sticks to his post, does not panic, and guards this seaweed forest.
It's just that sometimes some crises should come and still can't be avoided, I saw Soyu, who was in charge of patrolling, hurrying over, panting and saying:
"Sister Tianxing, something happened!"
"Something's wrong, don't worry, talk slowly."
The mayor noticed that there were suddenly a lot of strange crabs in the town, and he decided that something was wrong and started to investigate. I don't know what clues were found, and before I could make the results public, I was killed at home. The cause of death was a slash with a poisonous blade, and then he died of poison. ”
"The mayor's fighting skills are so strong, and he has been assassinated by someone, and the person who comes must be very capable, and it is very dangerous. We have to be careful here. ”
"Hmmm! Sister Tianxing, the mayor is dead, why don't we go over and offer condolences for such a big thing? ”
"No, since the mayor is dead because of a certain truth, it means that the Assassins have other plans. If the Assassins are there to lead us there, who will protect the caged guests here? So I can't leave. ”
Ku Tianxing has realized that a crisis is beginning to behave in this ancient town. As the danger gets closer and closer, he summons his pet mimic pufferfish to search for dangerous assassins hiding in the town. I just didn't expect that the assassin would take the initiative to appear at this time.
"Don't bother you to look for us, we won't hide from you. For you two little hairy boys, you don't need to sneak up on this hand. "Out of the seaweed bushes not far away came a mermaid uncle, who looked a little old. The light brown face has red fuzz, and the skin tone and scales are red and white. This pattern reveals a dangerous aura, and the two arms are obviously thick and thin: "My name is Mosaic, and the embroidered ridge is as familiar as a crab pet owner."
"My name is Reynolds." Following the appearance of Mosaic, another merfolk assassin also appeared behind him, and his appearance was a bit weird. The grayish-white forehead is divided into left and right sides, and there are many granular bulges on the body, with beige scales. His hands were white, holding his double forks: "I am the pet owner of the Reynolds' Scaly Crab."
"Did you kill Mayor Mare?" Ku Tianxing asked.
"Yes." Mosaic replied, "He first spotted the old guy who got in the way when we came here." ”
"Why kill him?" Soyu asked.
"To draw you to him, to make this place empty." Reynolds replied, "Unfortunately, you weren't fooled."
"Then you still come here, aren't you sent to death?" Soyo said angrily.
"Don't be impulsive, the two of them are good at using poison." Ku Tianxing reminded Suoyu that she knew that Suoyu could also use poison, but it was far from the assassin in front of her.
