Chapter 173: Wurm's Lair
"Three masters!"
Li Changan is not very familiar with the surrounding forests, but Wu Liang is familiar with them.
After continuing to travel a long distance and arriving at the designated place, I finally saw the familiar faces and the long-awaited companions.
"It's good to be back!"
Fei Fengxing stepped forward and patted Wu Liang on the shoulder, looking relieved.
But.
Part of his attention was still on the burly Unyielding Dryad standing beside him with his arms around and Li Changan with a black cat on his shoulder.
"Third Uncleβ"
The girl rushed into the arms of the three masters.
Hearing this title, Fei Fengxing made a bitter face, but still hugged the girl into his arms.
Rubbing her head, "Don't run around in the future." β
"Uh-huh."
The girl nodded obediently, "Uncle Changqing said that he would have the opportunity to take me to Molong City to play in the future." β
Uncle Evergreen?
Fei Fengxing looked at Li Changan.
Their eyes met in the air.
This time, he and Li Changan really felt a little sympathetic to each other.
It's all uncles.
"Hello, I'm the third child of 'Hidden Forest', Fei Fengxing."
Walking in front of Li Changan, Fei Fengxing smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Li Changqing."
Li Changan shook hands with him lightly and nodded slightly.
"Thank you Brother Changqing, we are in charge, and I will definitely thank you."
Although he still doesn't know exactly what happened on the road.
But he can be sure that it will definitely not be easy to escort him all the way.
Moreover, Li Changan can escort these few people who no longer have much combat power back by himself, and he definitely has good strength.
"She told me it was okay."
Li Changan simply swept around.
This is obviously only a stronghold of the "Hidden Forest", not their home base.
"I'm sorry, Brother Changqing, for the sake of the safety of the village, we can't take you to the village until the big boss nods."
Fei Fengxing saw through Li Changan's thoughts at a glance and explained.
"Meow~~"
Xiao Phantom pouted a little dissatisfied.
What kind of hospitality is this?
They spent a lot of effort and resources to escort everyone back, right?
Li Changan smiled and flicked its little head, expressing that Fei Fengxing's explanation was acceptable.
If "Hidden Forest" told their base camp to such an outsider as Li Changan so easily, he would feel that there was a problem, whether there was a trap.
Fei Fengxing cast a grateful look.
...
"Really?"
Fei Fengxing turned his head to look at Li Changan on the other side.
He was massaging the body of the Ink Shadow Three-Tailed Spirit Cat Phantom while shouting to stop Kuidou's training.
The waiting effort was not wasted, and the spirit beast was also trained, so that Fei Fengxing's sense of Li Changan was extremely good.
In addition, after listening to Wu Liang's story, what happened to them on the road, and how Li Changan designed "Xinghuo" to chase after everyone, and finally wiped out all seven people at a very small cost, his perception of Li Changan has once again improved to a higher level.
It would be very rude to look directly at Li Changan and his spirit beast with soul vision.
But Fei Fengxing's eyesight is still good.
He could see that the Ink Shadow Three-Tailed Spirit Cat should have only just reached the restricted level, and it was familiar with the restricted-level ability after the transformation just now.
And that Unyielding Dryad didn't even reach the limit level, probably the eighth or ninth level of the negative level.
In other words, Li Changan should have just become a third-order spirit master, and maybe the third spirit beast has not been served.
With such strength, it wiped out the two third-order spirit masters and five second-order spirit masters that "Starfire" came to pursue?
Fei Fengxing thought he couldn't do it.
But listening to Wu Liang's explanation, it seems that every link is very reasonable.
In the end, Fei Fengxing had to admit that Li Changan was a "smart person" like him.
"Here we are."
Fei Fengxing, who was sitting on the ground and listened to Wu Liang's story, suddenly stood up and looked in one direction.
Li Changan and Xiao Phantom in his arms also seemed to notice something and looked in the same direction.
Soon.
I saw a majestic eagle-like spirit beast with dark red hair, a white and red crown, and huge wings sweeping towards them.
And on the sharp claws of this eagle, the wheat-skinned Yin Lin grasped it with one hand, and it seemed that except for a slightly pale complexion, the state was okay.
"The Red-Feathered Eagle."
Li Changan said softly.
The Red Feather Eagle is an order-attribute spirit beast with disaster-level superior potential.
The wild red-feathered eagle often appears alone, a powerful spirit beast belonging to the air overlord level, and its personality is not violent, but it is extremely arrogant, unless it is very much identified with a spirit master, it belongs to the kind of arrogant spirit beast that would rather die than give in.
Whew-
The landing of the red-feathered eagle and the hidden forest raised a lot of dust.
"Big boss!"
Seeing the hidden forest, everyone greeted them happily.
And Yin Lin's gaze quickly swept over, and Wu Liang, the girl and the others, who were quickly identified as having returned, grinned, revealing their white teeth.
He pressed his hand down and signaled that everyone was okay.
walked towards Li Changan, who was sitting on the side.
"Yes. I see that 'Starfire' sent two third-order to chase you, and you solved them all? Yin Lin sat cross-legged next to Li Changan directly and asked with a big grin.
It's just that Li Changan didn't answer her question, just stared at her eyes and looked at her appearance.
Just when Yin Lin thought that Li Changan had taken a fancy to him, he suddenly asked:
"You and Sister Yu....... What is the relationship between the Ran swordfish? β
Hearing this, Yin Lin was stunned.
He looked at him with some surprise.
"Is it obvious?"
As she spoke, she waved her hand to the gossipy-looking crowd next to her.
"Big boss, I think it's ......" Fei Fengxing rubbed his hands and approached with a sneer.
The identity of the Hidden Forest!
This is information that even their subordinates have never known.
Really.
Fei Fengxing felt that Li Changan should have a certain relationship with their big boss.
Otherwise, why did he hand over the girl and Wu Liang to him to escort them out so reassuringly, and he didn't worry about Li Changan being evil or abandoning them.
Now that he heard the name "Ran Swordfish", Fei Fengxing felt that he was about to know Yinlin's life experience.
"Get out! Otherwise, I will strip you naked and hang yourself on the gate of the stockade! β
But Yinlin didn't get used to him, and glared at him viciously.
Fei Fengxing's buttocks shrunk, slowly retreated, and said, "You talk, you talk." β
Don't think that the Hidden Forest can't do it.
Their village is not without a person who has been stripped naked by her and hung on the gate of the village for a day.
And this person is their second master.
Fei Fengxing didn't dare to follow in this footsteps.
Since that time, none of them have been able to raise their heads after drinking.
It's too embarrassing.
"Ahda, all eavesdropping is forbidden." Yin Lin was not at ease, and commanded the Red Feather Eagle.
Perverse!!!
The red-feathered eagle, standing on the branch and combing its feathers, heard the words and let out a long roar.
The surrounding rules have been affected.
Fei Fengxing and the others could no longer hear the content of the exchange between Li Changan and Yinlin, and they couldn't even read the lips by looking at their lips.
"Three masters, what's the situation....."
"Is it the name of the big boss?"
"Don't ask! I just don't know! You want to be stripped naked and hung on the door? Fei Fengxing glared at them, not angry.
I secretly regretted it in my heart.
It's a pity.
And Li Changan, who witnessed all the reactions of the Hidden Forest, was 90% sure of his guesses, and the Hidden Forest was indeed related to Ran Swordfish.
"Alright." After doing the sound insulation, Yin Lin looked at Li Changan with a serious face, "Tell me, how do you know?" β
"Guess."
"Guess?" Yin Lin was stunned.
Li Changan shrugged.
Actually, it's not too hard to guess.
His interpersonal relationships are very complicated, not only belonging to the Tranquility Society, but also being an undercover agent in the Astronomical Society, and also having mission contact with Mr. Three of the Dragon Faith, as well as Bai Chengjie's subordinates, and so on.
It can be said that there are not many things that can be related to the hidden forest.
The Astronomical Society and the Dragon Faith were ruled out for the first time.
Fei Chengqing also communicated with him, if the hidden forest will have something to do with tranquility, then Fei Chengqing will definitely inform him in advance, so the tranquility will also be ruled out.
Bai Chengjie's Bai family is even more impossible.
Thinking about it, only the Ran family to which Ran Swordfish belongs, is a bit right.
Since the last incident with Zou Hailin, Li Changan has tried to understand the Ran family.
The way to get information was much simpler than he had imagined.
It was retrieved directly through the Internet.
The Ran family, a large family in Donghong, the royal capital of the Donghong Kingdom, uses the "order" attribute spirit beast as the family spirit beast.
At that time, Li Changan knew that Ran Swordfish's family was actually so powerful.
Of course.
Part of the reason is that Li Changan rarely revealed the identity of the little phantom ink shadow three-tailed civet cat before.
But the Hidden Forest didn't seem surprised when he saw it, but instead seemed somewhat familiar.
This, in turn, greatly narrows the scope of speculation.
In the end, the appearance of the hidden forest is more or less similar to the Ran swordfish.
It's rare to see such a good-looking beauty, let alone have the same looks.
When he asked this sentence, he was probably less than 50% sure of it.
"Okay." Yin Lin shook his hand twice, "Xiao Yu'er should call me....... Cousin. β
Cousin?
Li Changan secretly stammered, "Then why are you ......?"
"How do you become a robber?" Yin Lin casually pulled the grass roots and stuffed them into his mouth, stretching his waist for a long time.
Well, the body curve is a little more perfect than Sister Yu...... Li Changan thought subconsciously.
"It's simple. My branch is not the main branch of the Ran family, and my situation is not as good as you imagined. Although the little fish belongs to this branch, it ...... Forget it, if she didn't tell you, you might as well ask her yourself. And why I became a robber has something to do with my teacher. β
"Teacher?"
Yin Lin chewed on the grass roots, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It doesn't matter if you tell you. My teacher is the 'Frost Dragon', one of the Seven Sea Generals. β
"Frost Dragon?!"
This time Li Changan was really surprised.
"Seven Sea Generals" does not mean that there are seven admirals, but actually refers to the seven groups of seven pirate gangs that are rampant in the misty seas, because their respective strengths are very strong, and the leader is suspected to have the strength of a sixth-order spirit master, which is consistent with the strength standards required for the rank of general of the major kingdoms, so they are nicknamed or honored as "admirals".
Pirates existed long before the Eastern Continent was discovered.
However, after the discovery of the Eastern Continent by the ocean-going fleet of the Tohiro Kingdom, and the trade, travel, and communication between the two continents increased, the pirates became more and more rampant, and at the same time, they also benefited a lot from it, and their strength and influence increased greatly.
The "Frost Dragon" of the Seven Sea Generals is the second most powerful pirate of the seven.
The reward offered by the Donghong Kingdom alone exceeded 100 million.
The three kingdoms even count the Himmus Empire, and the bounties offered by the four countries add up to even more.
Hearsay.
The Frost Dragon holds this title because it possesses a true dragon that should have been lost to history, the Frost Dragon!
However, what the real situation is is still up for debate.
Immediately, Li Changan's expression became a little weird.
The teacher is a pirate, and the student is a robber?
One wants to become the pirate king, and the other still wants to be the king of the bandits?
Li Changan called a good guy from the bottom of his heart.
"So...... You said you know about the wurm's lair, is it true? β
Suddenly thinking of this, Li Changan's eyes lit up.
"Can I still lie to you?" Yin Lin pursed his lips and handed over a palm-sized scale with a shimmering metallic sheen and pitch black as ink.
Dragon scales!
With a flick of his wrist, the dragon scales flipped over.
It has an address written on it in very old words.
"Xiao Yu'er said that you are a historian, and it shouldn't be difficult for you to decipher the text on it."
Li Changan cautiously took the dragon scales.
Real dragon scales!
"However, my suggestion is that you have only become a third-order spirit master, so it's best to ...... Well, wait a minute. Yin Lin reminded.
"Of course."
Li Changan knows this better than her, and he cares more about his own life.
The spirit beast of the sub-dragon species is also a dragon no matter what, and the upper limit of its potential is extremely high, and a third-order spirit master may not be able to accept it.
"Sister Yu, she ......"
"Don't worry. She didn't say much to me, but told me that if I came across a spirit master with a black cat spirit beast with three tails, I could trust him, and if he was in danger, I hoped I could help him. You know, foxes with three tails may be a little more common, but black cats with three tails are not very common. Yin Lin said.
Li Changan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ran Swordfish was still very measured and did not reveal much information about him.
At present, it seems that he is probably worried about his safety in Molong City.
"Now, can you tell me the reason why the entire Molong City fell into a strange balance and made everyone's goal on your 'Hidden Forest'?"
Yin Lin took out the grass roots, pursed his lips, and said after hesitating a little:
"Actually, what it is, I don't know very well for the time being, I only know that it is a little girl named Chriss, but this girl's ability is relatively special, she seems to have the ability to 'speak' with the attribute of 'knowledge', and it may also be the ability of the 'rule' attribute. In short, she can make her words a reality. β
"Divinity? A little girl?! β
"Yes. Although I was also surprised. But it was really because of the teacher's information that I intercepted her. β
After speaking, Li Changan and Yin Lin fell silent for the time being.
It was a long time before he suddenly spoke again.
"Why did you tell me?"
As if anticipating his question, Hidebayashi explained:
"Because I can't send her out now."
As she spoke, her face turned a little pale.
It seems that the battle with Xie Xinghuo and the others is not as easy as it appears on the surface.
Li Changan's eyes widened, and his voice was a little louder, "Don't you say you want me to send her out?" Refuse! β
Escorting an inconsequential subordinate is also a matter of not being noticed.
But if he let him escort the girl who caught everyone's attention out......
Li Changan felt that he was looking for death.
It's impossible to get paid as much as you want.
No matter how big the reward is, you have to have a life to spend it, and you have to use it with a life.
Yin Lin tugged at his mouth, "Don't think too much about it, I just want to borrow the power of your Tranquility Society." β
Li Changan breathed a sigh of relief.
If only I hadn't said that earlier.
"I'll find someone to talk to you." Li Changan said.
This is beyond his ability, so let Fei Chengqing come.
In this regard, Yinlin did not refuse.
Then.
A few embarrassed figures hurriedly ran over from a distance.
Seeing these people, Yin Lin's face changed.
waved his hand to dispel the rules of sound insulation, and hurried to meet it.
"Big boss!!"
Fei Fengxing on the other side also noticed them, and also hurried up to meet them.
"What's wrong?" Yin Lin asked in a deep voice.
"Stockade, stockade ....." The visitor gasped, looking anxious to say something, but couldn't catch his breath.
"The breath is steady." Fei Fengxing stepped forward, and a special spirit beast that resembled words and looked like a creature appeared on his chest.
Spirit animal, wisdom totem.
That person's breath, under the power of Fei Fengxing's spirit beast, quickly calmed down.
"Where's the second child?" Hidden Lin spoke again.
They actually guessed that the person of "Starfire" might just be an attention attraction, and the real purpose was still for the girl.
It's just that the village of the "Hidden Forest" has always been relatively hidden and not known to outsiders.
In addition, with the second master and the "hidden forest" people, it should be relatively safe.
Faced with a series of questions, the visitor didn't know how to answer for a while, so he still picked up the most critical point and said: "The people who 'steal the extension' have found the village!" β
Piracy?!
Yin Lin and Fei Fengxing's eyes widened at the same time, and their faces were stunned.
They haven't received any news that the "thief" is approaching!
I didn't dare to hesitate in the slightest.
"Let's go, go back!"
