Chapter 28 Nest Site Selection
The holiday is over.
Yan Jing and Yu Zhen left the coast and returned to Shanqing City together.
It's an eventful time now, and the identities of the two are too special, and they just turned on the mobile phone to contact the Special Affairs Bureau, and news from all sides poured in like a tide.
As soon as he left the airport, Yu Zhen received a notice from the Secret Service Bureau, which was a report of a paranormal incident to be exact.
There have been paranormal events involving the worship of gods in the Northwest.
As an expert and scholar in folklore, Yu Zhen is also a leader among the Ember Apostles.
As soon as the information was sorted out, it was sent to her through the Special Affairs Bureau, hoping that she could take the lead in organizing a seminar to analyze the situation of the paranormal event so that the Special Affairs Bureau could formulate a follow-up response plan.

Unlike Yan Jing's freedom obtained by relying on his personal strength, Yu Zhen was recruited by the state long ago because of his personal talent in folklore and semiotics, and enjoyed a lot of benefits.
Now in the face of these things, there is naturally no way to shirk it.
"Is it serious?"
On the way to Shanqing University, Yan Jing drove Yu Zhen's car and asked while looking at the road conditions ahead.
He himself spends most of his time on the Luofeng River, so he has never bought a car.
With a mount like Hu Ying, where can those sports cars that cost tens of millions of dollars compare.
"Now there is a wide range of abnormal celestial phenomena in the Kasai River basin around the Kunlun Mountains, with four seasons changing in one day, and various extreme weather events taking turns, heavy rain, hail, tornadoes, and extreme heat!"
Yu Zhen, who was sitting in the co-pilot, looked at the incident briefing in his hand on a flip, frowned, and said worriedly,
"Fortunately, the incident occurred in the sparsely populated plateau and mountain area, and most of the people were evacuated in advance, except for the large-scale death of livestock, only a small number of people were killed and injured."
"Kunlun Mountains...... Have you figured out why so far? β
Hearing the place name mentioned by Yu Zhen, Yan Jing's gaze froze, and he asked in a deep voice.
He remembered correctly.
When I last spoke to Miao Yingshi before, the latter was near the Kunlun Mountains!
"According to the information given by the local secret service, the cause of the incident was a tomb robbing organization, led by the Ember Apostles, who took advantage of the supernatural events near the Kasai River to attract local attention and infiltrate an underground palace buried deep in the mountains."
Yu Zhen opened the video attached to the briefing and explained to Yan Jing in a more concise sentence,
As a result, I don't know what it caused, and it was said that a considerable number of people said that they had witnessed the gods and fairylands...... I can't say it well, but I still have to communicate the details with the members of the local secret service bureau. β
Although it is a blessed thing to see the immortals in the people, the successive occurrence of extreme weather is enough to prove that this "immortal" is obviously not compassionate.
"There was a paranormal event before the anomalous celestial phenomena appeared?"
Noticing the key information mentioned in Yu Zhen's words, Yan Jing asked.
"Yes, there is an abnormal natural landscape in a certain snow peak in the Kunlun Mountains, above the snow line, a large jungle grows overnight, the scale is extremely large, and the average height of the trees is even more than fifty meters."
Yu Zhen brought up the jungle photos taken in the briefing and turned the screen to Yan Jing.
The jungle in the photo stands out against the surrounding snow-capped mountains, and the open area at the bottom of the snow line makes it look like a green palace high in the sky.
The first time he saw it, Yan Jing thought of Miao Yingshi again, the latter's mountains and seas are heroic moves, and his abilities are related to plants.
"Is there any mention of Miao Yingshi in the report?"
After a brief silence, Yan Jing asked.
"Miao Yingshi?"
Yu Zhen glanced at Yan Jing a little strangely, not understanding why the latter suddenly mentioned him, and paused before saying,
"There is no relevant content...... Is he near the Kunlun Mountains? β
"Yes, he's in that area during this time, it's not like a coincidence, I'm a little worried about him."
The sudden supernatural event was just in time for Miao Yingshi to go to the Kunlun Mountains, coupled with the sound of the wind in the background during the previous call, Yan Jing's intuition told him that this matter was not so simple.
"I can ask for you through the Special Affairs Bureau, or you can also contact Captain Wu, you ask, they should look for it."
"No, you can't tell the Secret Service, only you know about it."
Although he didn't know what Miao Yingshi was doing, with his character, he was willing to go far away, needless to say, he knew that it must be an extremely important matter, Yan Jing couldn't interfere with his actions, and after thinking about it, he added,
"You can just help me pay attention to the relevant information while I am working on it."
"Understood."
Although he was not familiar with Miao Yingshi, since he was Yan Jing's friend, Yu Zhen nodded solemnly.
sent Yu Zhen to Shanqing University, Ruan Xiaolian was in class, and Yan Jing did not stay for long.
Stopping to kiss goodbye, Yan Jing called another taxi at the school gate and went straight to the port by the Luofeng River.
He also has a lot of things to deal with.
The insect swarm in the Rujiang Mountain Range was already quite large, and the location of the new insect hive required his nod and arrangement.
Although Hu Ying has a lot of wisdom, in addition to Yan Jing's orders, it can only react to Wu Senyan, who Yan Jing admitted, and the others will not be able to communicate, just approaching will be warned by it.
Unlike the sunny sunshine in the coastal areas.
After the autumn of Shanqing City, there were several light rains one after another, and Yan Jing was no exception when he returned.
Drive the yacht to the depths of the Rujiang Mountains.
After seeing the sea, and then coming back to see the rolling mountains, there is a unique flavor.
The rain pounded on the glass of the cockpit, and Yan Jing looked out at the dense mountain forest in the rain and mist, holding the steering wheel with one hand.
Take out your mobile phone and dial the number of Miao Yingshi.
Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot ~
The index finger of his right hand, resting on the steering wheel, taps on the oak ring.
Although he didn't ask the Special Affairs Bureau to help find it for the sake of secrecy, this didn't mean that Yan Jing didn't care about Miao Yingshi's situation.
Waited about ten seconds.
The call was finally connected.
"Hello?"
The background sound was still the sound of the wind, and Miao Yingshi's voice was obviously a little tired.
"I saw the news on the other side of the Kunlun Mountains, and the climate was abnormal...... How's your situation? β
Slowing down the speed of the boat, Yan Jing heard that Miao Yingshi's state was not quite right, and asked in a deep voice.
"It was going well, but now there are some surprises and I'm dealing with them."
"Tomb robbers?"
Yan Jing relayed the information gathered by the Special Affairs Bureau to Miao Yingshi.
"I've been in the mountains, I don't know...... There is indeed a group of people who have used some method to wake up a certain being in the Kunlun Mountains, forming a chain reaction with my side, causing the situation to deteriorate. β
Rao is Miao Yingshi, and he can't help but be a little depressed when he mentions this, and the action that should have been smooth sailing was disturbed by a group of people who don't know where he did, and no one was happy.
"Need help?"
"Not for the time being, my side is not suitable for other people to come now, and you will be ostracized, and you are no exception."
Miao Yingshi politely rejected Yan Jing again, and then said,
"In a few hours, I will enter a special area, which I was confident I could complete, but now because of the chain reaction, there may be an accident, and after tonight, if I don't contact you, come to me, and later I will tell you the coordinates and where I am going...... Do not disclose it to anyone else. β
There was a sudden muffled thunder on the other end of the phone, and Miao Yingshi quickly hung up the phone.
Yan Jing is the only friend he can trust at the moment, and leaving the coordinate address can be regarded as leaving a way out for himself.
Guessing what Miao Yingshi might encounter, the yacht re-accelerated, and Yan Jing also specially looked at the ticket to the airport near the area where the Kunlun Mountains were located after midnight today, and booked all the time slots.
Miao Yingshi was the first friend Yan Jing had ever made who could make friends in his true identity, and he was also a companion he highly valued.
If something really happened in the Kunlun Mountains, he would naturally not stand idly by.
......
The yacht passed through the hazy rain curtain and came to the agreed location.
Yan Jing saw the tiger firefly jumping up and down on the shore and Wu Senyan waving next to him.
Before he could stop the boat, this guy plunged into the river, swam onto the deck, and rushed straight to Yan Jing in the cockpit.
Due to the lack of the effect of riding the seal, the current state of the tiger firefly is still the terrifying and hideous insect, with the gloomy sky, the scene of suddenly touching the boat from the river is estimated to scare many children.
As a result, when he rushed to Yan Jing's side, this guy circled around him like a puppy, turning back into the appearance of a white tiger, rolling back and forth in the cabin, whining excitedly.
From birth to the present, this is the first time that Hu Ying has been separated from Yan Jing for a long time.
Despite what appears to be a nightmarish creature, it is in fact only a few months old.
It's still a "child" in the true sense of the word!
Looking at the appearance of the tiger firefly, Yan Jing couldn't help but laugh.
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, the movement at hand froze, and he raised his hand to signal it to approach.
"The three poison stones in my stomach, spit them out for me."
Tell Hu Ying his thoughts with his mind, and the latter immediately spit out the three poison stones that he had been "carrying" with him.
As a legendary material, even if the Three Poison Stone exists for a long time in the stomach of the Tiger Firefly, which can corrode steel and even evil flesh and bones, it will still not be damaged in the slightest.
The latter can only strengthen itself by absorbing the evil energy that it no longer emits all the time, and cannot reach the root cause.
Because of this, after Yan Jing saw the tiger firefly, he immediately thought of a dead core with a similar nature!
γThree Poison Stones (Material)γ
Quality: Legendary
Special effects: The high-concentration desire energy crystals left behind after the death of the evil Buddha can be fused with specific equipment, giving it three special effects of [greed], [anger] and [stupidity], and at the same time, it will inevitably sublimate the equipment and strengthen its original ability!
(Identification: Those who are not strong-willed should not carry the Three Poison Stones with them, it will continuously release energy, pollute everything around them and have a strong negative emotional impact on any living organism, and at the same time, some specific creatures can also benefit from this process.) οΌ
Unlike the Three Poisonstones, the dead core is a foreign body and belongs to the ranks of equipment.
However, the energy of both is biased towards the obscure side.
The former is evil, the latter is undead, and both come from other dimensional monsters.
The Three Poison Stones' special effects explicitly mention that it can be fused with specific equipment, and Yan Jing has been looking for equipment that can be adapted to this legendary material......
At least so far, Yan Jing couldn't find anything more suitable than a deadcore.
Moreover, the deadcore was currently in a sealed state, and Yan Jing was worried that he couldn't find a way to try to unseal it.
Pick up the Three Poison Stones, and then remove the Dead Core from the Ember Space.
Yan Jing tried to bring the two closer.
Sure enough.
As the two legendary items approached a certain distance, anomalies appeared on both surfaces.
When the three poison stones landed, evil energy overflowed, condensed into several energy tentacles, and approached the death core, and the latter was in a similar state, except that the undead qi appeared.
Although it is uncertain whether the Three Poison Stones will be able to unlock the seal of the Dead Core, it is always a good thing that the two items can be connected.
Of course, Yan Jing didn't intend to continue the fusion of these two items at this time.
Seeing that the yachts are about to dock, quickly retract them into the ember space.
"It's only at this time that people feel that it will live in peace with humans, don't you know, every time a new unit comes to the base, you have to be scared by the elusive tiger firefly."
Waiting for the yacht to dock, Wu Senyan stepped onto the deck with an umbrella, saw the tiger firefly rolling and begging for a hug, recalled its performance near the insect nest, and said helplessly.
"After a while, the hive will be officially operational, and I will have it give instructions to all the insects, and then you can choose a group of people to start receiving insects as mounts or companions."
Yan Jing shut down the yacht, raised his hand to dispel the moisture on Wu Senyan's body, and motioned for him to enter the cabin and sit down.
Although the tiger firefly can control the insect colony, it does not have the ability to breed alien insects like the insect mother, and prefers to rely on the hatchery to cultivate alien insects like the insect beast.
One of the advantages of this is that as long as the hatchery is up and running, Tiger Firefly can actually repeat the process by giving instructions to the initial batch of insects.
In other words, most of the time, all the tiger fireflies have to do is inject their genes into the hatchery and give them all kinds of instructions when they are born, and there is no need to be confined to the nest like the mother worm they first encountered.
As the "mother" of all insects, the existence of the king of insects.
Tiger Firefly has absolute control over the insects that are bred with their own genes.
Yan Jing didn't plan to keep Hu Ying in the special zone for such a long time, after all, this guy's combat power has been increasing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye recently, and with some characteristics, it can help him many times.
Therefore, when the site of the hive is completed and it starts to operate normally, Tiger Firefly will naturally return to him.
"The reason why I came here this time, I also told you on the phone before, the location of the worm nest!"
Since Yan Jing revealed his true identity, Wu Senyan has also been to the yacht a few times, sat on the sofa with ease, took out a projector and placed it on the table.
The Secret Service Bureau and Yan Jing have reached an agreement to give the green light to the establishment of the hive.
Not only did he entrust Yan Jing with the incubation room and other structures left in the old insect hive, but also sent a large number of drones to search the Luojiang Mountains and even the entire Qiannan Nature Reserve to find suitable nesting sites.
Trust is mutual, and Yan Jing also has no intention of hiding the location of the hive from the authorities.
After all, his purpose in establishing the hive itself was to better protect Shanqing City, which was completely consistent with the goal of the Special Affairs Bureau.
