When Li Changan and Xiao Phantom reacted, it was too late.

They chased for a distance, but the gap between them grew wider.

"Spirit beasts?"

Li Changan's pace gradually slowed down, knowing that he couldn't catch up.

His face was solemn.

I didn't have time to think about it just now, but now I slowly understand.

From the beginning, the other party's target was not him, but the spirit core left behind by the failed clay slime.

What's the use of having the core of that failed to evolve clay slime?

The state of that clay slime is not right, and the tyrannical will left in that spirit core is more likely to pollute the spirit beast that rashly absorbs the energy in it.

"I don't know what kind of spirit beast it is, it's fast."

The light in the mine tunnel was too dim, and the speed of the spirit beast was too fast, and it was impossible to see the whole picture except for a barely visible outline.

"An insect-like spirit beast, the speed is very fast, and the body size is not very large......"

The names of several spirit beasts flashed through Li Changan's mind.

Vampire mosquitoes? Cursed Soul Fly? Mandling flies?

It seems to be a bit wrong.

"Meow!"

Xiao Phantom's face was angry.

The timing of the opponent's appearance was just right, so he grabbed it and used all his strength to defeat the clay slime, and the old force had gone to the gap when the new force was not born.

Coupled with the eagerness to protect Li Changan, he was run away by it.

"It's okay." Li Changan squinted his eyes and comforted.

"Meow?"

saw Li Changan tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"If the other party really doesn't move at all, it's really not easy to pull him out in Ningyuan County, a place with a population of hundreds of thousands, but as long as the other party doesn't hold back, no matter how bad it is, some horses will be exposed."

Xiao Fantasy didn't understand his words too much.

But it feels ......

"Meow~~" (What a powerful look.) ）

"Let's go."

Li Changan patted the clothes on his body.

"Meow? (Where?) ）

"Go home and wait for news."

Gollum –

After Li Changan left for a long time, there was a slight movement in the silent mine tunnel, and the mud on the ground was slowly wriggling.

...

...

"Oh, yours."

After a round of night training, Li Changan handed over the fruit of the Moling Tree that Gu Li had given him.

"Meow ......"

Seeing that Xiao Douding had fruit to eat, Xiao Fan couldn't wait to rub his hands.

It's just that before it finished speaking, it was interrupted by Li Changan.

"Yours wait."

It had just eaten one, and it hadn't completely digested and absorbed it, and eating it now would waste the effect of the Moling Tree fruit.

After he came back that night, he rummaged through the information and learned about the spirit beast of the Mo Spirit Tree, as well as the role and value of its fruit.

The combat power of this spirit beast is not strong, but the racial potential is not low, and it is very rare.

It has characteristics, though.

It is very good at drawing energy from the soil and eventually producing fruit from that energy.

However, this fruit tastes quite good, very sweet, and it can also regulate the stomach of the spirit beast to a certain extent.

In addition, it is to strengthen the spirituality of the spirit animal, so that the spirit animal can "grow" in a short period of time and will not leave too many side effects.

Absolutely.

The value of this fruit is not too high, because it is more like a snack for a powerful high-level spirit beast, and only a low-strength spirit beast like Xiao Phantom can exert the greatest effect.

Because Gu Li was not ready to use this fruit to enhance the strength of Li Changan's spirit beast from the beginning.

After all, in her eyes, Li Changan was a powerful spirit master, and his "Heavy Provocation Lion" potential had reached the dangerous level.

So she purely hoped to use the taste of this fruit in exchange for the favor of Li Changan and his spirit beast.

It's just that I didn't expect that these fruits really benefited Li Changan and Xiaoyu a lot.

Xiao Phantom had only eaten it for two days, and Li Changan felt that its current spirituality was close to the fifth order of the security level.

Especially, after today's battle with a large group of Clay Slimes.

So he was going to wait for Xiao Huan's strength to reach the fifth level of the security level, and then eat another fruit.

Or.

Wait until the mission is over and return to the Tranquility Society, and see if you can trouble Granny Gu to help make a potion out of this fruit, so as to maximize the effect of the fruit.

"Meow ......"

Xiao Phantom flattened his mouth aggrievedly.

"Squeak-"

Xiao Douding grinned, in front of Xiao Fan, "clicked" a big bite on the fruit, the soft texture and fragrant taste, almost instantly conquered it.

Seeing its sassy appearance, Xiao Phantom was angry, turned his head and pouted and ignored it.

I thought to myself: the next time it eats again, I must also stimulate it in front of the small bean cube.

Thinking of seeing Xiao Douding's aggrieved face next time, my mood suddenly felt much better.

A warm palm rested on its head.

"I'll eat the fruit of the Moling Tree later, but you can try to use this thing now."

He took out the "reward" for cleaning the mine, the "shadow crack stone".

It can slightly improve the spirit beast's use and mastery of shadow energy, which is very suitable for the attributes of Xiao Phantom.

"Meow~" (Wow.) ）

However, it was obvious that Xiao Fantasy was not as interested in it as the fruit of the Moling Tree.

"Little things that don't know the goods."

Li Changan scolded with a smile, and didn't care what it thought, he just put the "Shadow Gap Stone" on it.

"Meow, meow?"

The next second.

Sensing the power of the "Shadow Gap Stone", Xiao Phantom raised his head in disbelief.

It slowly raises its paws.

Saw.

On its claws, wisps of black mist instantly lingered, intertwined and fused with each other, slowly condensed into a small ball, and then broke and scattered like foam.

"Feel it?" Li Changan smiled and rubbed its head again.

Xiao Phantom nodded again and again, grabbing the "Shadow Gap Stone" with curiosity in his eyes.

Such a small stone actually has a role?

Bang –

At this moment, the little bean that was still eating next to him fell straight to the ground.

"Meow!" (Choked!) ）

Little Phantom jumped up directly.

Boom!

Li Changan knocked on its head angrily, but his face was not angry, but showed a little joy.

"Little Beanding, it's finally grown."

Grow?

Xiao Phantom walked up to Xiao Douding and touched it lightly, but Xiao Dou Ding didn't react at all.

"Meow?" (Are you sure it's not dead?) ）

"Xiao Douding has stayed in the fifth order of the safety level, maybe longer than you before, it lives alone all year round, there is no last meal, and the food is also mixed, and the fruit of the Moling Tree just helps it regulate its stomach. It's not faint, it's just asleep. ”

Sure enough, as Li Changan finished speaking, Xiao Douding's breathing slowly became even, and he even snorted a little.

Seeing this, Xiao Phantom hurriedly patted his chest.

OK.

Meanwhile.

Tuk Tuk –

A knock on the door sounded from outside the courtyard.

"Here we are."

Li Changan walked over and opened the door, and it was Zhang Weihe from the Public Security Bureau who appeared at the door, followed by two people behind him.

One of them had a relationship with Li Changan, Yu Zhi, who showed him the way in the Public Security Bureau a few days ago, and the other young security officer didn't know him.

"There's movement."

Zhang Weihe is very crisp and straight to the point.

According to Li Changan's meaning, the public security bureau secretly investigated in the morning, and the smaller the movement, the better, if the other party has the ability, he will definitely notice it, and then the scope of suspicion can be narrowed.

In the afternoon, Li Changan explored the cave again, trying to alarm the other party, touch the opponent's bottom line, force it to react and respond, and wait for the opportunity to find a flaw.

If the other party doesn't move, they really don't know where to start.

Since they moved, whether it was in a good direction or a bad direction, they could always find some clues.

No, I found some information from it.

Li Changan raised his eyebrows.

"Who?"

"Jiang Qiang." Zhang Weihe said.

"Jiang Qiang?"

This person Li Changan really hasn't heard of it.

"The second person in charge of the Helong mine."

Hearing this, Li Changan pursed his lips.

There is one thing to say.

The appearance of this Jiang Qiang is also reasonable.

As the second person in charge, everything that happened at the Helong mine site must have escaped his eyes, and no matter how secretive the investigation of the Public Security Bureau is, it is impossible to avoid his sight.

And he also has the right to let some unknown people into the mine to work, and he also has the ability to suppress things.

For example, there are a lot of clay slimes in the mines.

"We pry some information out of his mouth. He said that this matter was originally planned by Yang Jiande, whether it was to contact black market merchants, or to recruit those wandering people who had no identity, or even to raise spirit beasts in the mine. He just took Yang Jiande's money and turned a blind eye......"

"Wait."

Li Changan stretched out his hand to interrupt him, "Yang Jiande? Raising spirit animals? ”

"Yes." Zhang Weihe's face was calm.

went around in a circle, and finally returned to Yang Jiande, who was already alive and dead.

Judging from the information that Li Changan has now.

The book in Yang Jiande's room shows that he does have the ability to raise clay slimes, and he still raises them in the mine he is in charge of.

And he is very popular, and he also has the opportunity to bribe the person in charge of the mine.

In the end, because the clay slimes raised in it found the copper fire mine from the ground, Yang Jiande accidentally inhaled an overdose, resulting in spontaneous combustion and death.

The one who robbed his spirit core in the mine during the day was most likely sent by a merchant who purchased the location of the spirit beast in the black market.

All clues seem to be closed.

"What do you think?" Li Changan did not make up his mind, but asked.

Zhang Weihe looked at him deeply.

"Dead people can't speak."

"Hey."

Li Changan couldn't help but chuckle.

After a brief silence, he suddenly asked:

"What about Zheng Chunyue?"

Zhang Weihe shook his head.

"According to what you mean, we have monitored Zheng Chunyue in all directions, and she didn't even go out that day, let alone pass on any information."

Not Zheng Chunyue?

Li Changan only bowed slightly, indicating that he knew.

"What are you going to do next?"

After a few days of contact, Zhang Weihe's senses for Li Changan have improved much.

He originally thought that Li Changan was sent by the top to go through the motions and gild.

Although he is very strong, strength does not mean ability, especially in handling cases.

But from the arrangement of these events, Zhang Weihe has a new understanding of Li Changan.

Li Changan's arrangement may not be perfect, and there are problems because of his lack of experience, but he is indeed capable, and he also has his own clear thinking, and can analyze and deeply find the root cause of the problem layer by layer.

Li Changan grabbed Zhang Weihe's hand and glanced at the time on his watch.

Shrugged and said:

"Then take the last step."

"What?"

Li Changan gently stroked Xiao Huan's back, while slowly squinting his eyes and grinning the corners of his mouth.

"Flip the table!"

Since the other party is so calm and draws a box for them to go along, Li Changan is not used to him.

Flip the board directly.

He Li Changan doesn't want to go down, so don't go down!

For the first time, Zhang Weihe's expression became a little stunned and sluggish.
