Chapter 267: The Worm King Egg in the Smelting Furnace
The bilge of the ironclad city, the smelting furnace area.
When Li Yinguang was pulled down by Xiao Man, there were already many people around, even Buhe was present, and from the 'D1' smelting furnace, a certain red glow was seeping out.
"What's going on?"
Li Yinguang asked curiously, the 'D1 type' smelting furnace is not very large, it is already the top smelting furnace that can be seen on the market, and it will not scatter the glow by itself.
Xiao Man pulled him, walked to the front of the smelting furnace, pointed to it, and said, "It's coming out!" ”
"Who?"
Li Yinguang was stunned and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Xiao Man raised his head and winked at Li Yinguang: "Brother, why don't you let the people around you leave first?" ”
It means that she wants Li Yinguang to clear the field, although she can also give orders, but these are Buhe's people, she wants Buhe to go out first, so she only leaves herself and Li Yinguang here.
Li Yinguang raised his hand and waved, and the workers in the Iron Armor City behind him all consciously turned around and walked outside, leaving Buhe and his apprentice Batu standing in place and not moving.
Xiao Man frowned, and gently pulled Li Yinguang's arm with his hand, signaling that he still had two people.
Li Yinguang frowned slightly, but did not hesitate and chose to believe Xiaoman.
"Lao Bu, you two will go out first!"
"Yes!"
Buhe hurriedly turned around and walked outside, Batu gritted his teeth secretly, his eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration, but on the surface he lowered his head and left behind Buhe.
After everyone walked out, Li Yinguang looked down at Xiao Man and asked with a wry smile, "Is this necessary?" ”
Buhe, as the 'patriarch' in the Iron Armor City, is trustworthy, at least in Li Yinguang's heart, he has never doubted Lao Bu's loyalty.
Xiao Man nodded vigorously: "Yes, because it is about to be born, unless, you don't mind that it is the master casually, it is better to leave yourself here." ”
As he spoke, he walked over to the 'D1' smelting furnace and opened the door, revealing black fuel burning inside, and on top of the black fuel was a half-man-tall dome.
"Worm King Egg?" Li Yinguang was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that when he 'carried' the three insect king eggs back, he wanted to taste them, so he asked Xue Niang to 'bake' one, but it was not baked, and then he simply threw it into the smelting furnace, and after burning it for so long, instead of scorching and melting, it allowed the insect king eggs to absorb the attributes of the flame, and became fiery red all over, but there was no sign of hatching.
But at this time, on the surface of the insect king egg, it is like a spider web full of countless tiny cracks, and if there is something inside, it seems that it will immediately break out of the shell.
No wonder Xiaoman is clamoring that he is about to 'give birth'!
"The habits of insects and beasts are not too similar, and most of them will regard the first creature they see as their 'mother' when they open their eyes, so whether it is an insect egg or a beast egg, it is the easiest to domesticate!" Xiaoman continued.
This is also the reason why she insists on cleaning everyone out, there are too many people, who knows who will be the first person she will see after the little guy in the worm king egg breaks the shell!
Xiao Man thought for a while and said: "The little insect king who has just broken the shell should not be too dangerous, when the time comes, I will also go out first, guard for you, and leave your brother here by yourself when the time comes, ready to welcome the birth of the little insect king and recognize the master!" ”
Outside the smelting furnace area, Batu followed behind Buhe and snorted in a low voice with an extremely unhappy expression: "What do you mean, city lord, doesn't this obviously regard you, Master, as the same class as those lowly smelting furnace coolies!" ”
Buhe frowned slightly, and stopped, how he couldn't hear in the face of Batu's sowing discord.
"Are you trying to express your displeasure with the castle lord?"
In the face of Buhe's questioning, Batu was stunned, raised his head, his eyes flashed, and asked in a low voice: "Is what I said wrong?" ”
Syllable!
Bucher raised his hand, rounded his arm, and slapped Batu in the face.
"Brute, have you forgotten who you are? Those coolie workers who burn the smelting furnace are inferior, what are you? How many times have I told you that there is no distinction between superior and inferior people in the Castle Iron Armored City, let alone high and low, at least this cannot be said from your mouth, which is contrary to the concept of the city lord. ”
Syllable!
After scolding, it was another slap in the face.
continued: "The Venerable City Lord, how can a rat like you talk about malicious slander behind your back? If it weren't for the City Lord, you might have frozen to death in the town of Mambach. ”
Batu lowered his head, and his vicious eyes flashed: "Yes, I know that I am wrong!" ”
After speaking, he raised his hand and slapped himself in the face twice: "Please punish Master!" Knock, kneeling on the ground.
Seeing this, Buhe's stern eyes softened.
Snorted coldly: "If you dare to talk about the city lord behind your back in the future, Lao Tzu will break your dog's leg with his own hands, and he will never be spared!" ”
"Yes!" Batu nodded honestly, as if he really knew he was wrong.
"Get up!"
After Buhe waited for Batu to get up, he said softly: "What is burning in the smelting furnace is the 'Worm King Egg', and the red glow is the ...... emitted by the Worm King Egg when it is about to hatch."
Speaking of this, Buhe stopped, he really liked Batu, and subconsciously regarded him as if he was his own son, and even wanted to tell him that he had a drop of spinal fluid of the 'Hell Nether Worm' in his hand, which was rewarded by the city lord and wanted to give it to him.
But today, Batu dared to talk about Li Yinguang behind his back, which made him a little vigilant, and put up with the words that came to his lips.
The spinal fluid of the 'Hell Nether Worm' is by no means something that ordinary people can get at will, and he is willing to give it to Batu, but before giving it, he wants to test Batu's loyalty again.
If it weren't for today's two sentences, Bucher would not have had such a mind. He couldn't give Li Yinguang a scourge in the Castle Iron City.
"Worm King Egg?" Batu's eyes flickered, and he asked curiously, "Master, where did the insect king egg come from?" ”
"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask." Bucher shook his head, his eyes thoughtful, turned his head to look at the furnace storage area, and turned back to walk forward.
The cobweb-like cracks on the surface of the 'King Worm Egg' are getting bigger and bigger, and they are about to crack.
Xiao Man hurriedly pushed Li Yinguang to the front of the 'D1 type' smelting furnace: "I'm about to be born, you stay here, I'll go out first!" ”
turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Li Yinguang, Xiao Man looked back at Li Yinguang in confusion, his eyes seemed to ask, what are you going to do?
"You don't have to go out!" Li Yinguang said calmly.
Xiao Man blinked: "When the insect king egg hatches, it will recognize the master!" ”
Li Yinguang smiled: "Isn't it the same thing to be a pet for you?" ”
The hatched 'Little Worm King', even if you choose Xiaoman as the master, it doesn't matter much, not to mention ...... Who knows what the king eggs will hatch and what if they are extremely aggressive? Leave Xiaoman by your side, and you can still transform and resist at a critical moment.
Xiaoman was moved, she didn't expect Li Yinguang to have so many thoughts in her heart, she only felt that her master's brother really didn't regard herself as an outsider, and made up her mind that she must be the master's brother in the future.
