Wang Xiaotian, who had been in a daze, was still a little confused, "Huh?"

Xin Guangli said: "In a short distance, the Keshen Sect ambushed us twice in a row, what do you think about this?"

Wang Xiaotian thought for a moment and said, "I think they are deliberately delaying us, waiting for that Master Lu to come over." ”

Xin Guangli bowed slightly, "What are your plans?"

Wang Xiaotian shook his head and said, "No." At present, the enemy is dark and I am clear, and I don't know where they will set up an ambush, so I can only take one step at a time. ”

"This place is less than a thousand miles away from Xijing City, and it can be reached in two days at most. If we can be caught up by Master Lu later, the safety factor will be one more point. ”

Xin Guangli frowned and said, "You mean abandoning the steam locomotive? If that's the case, Zhao Qiong's mobility is ......."

Wang Xiaotian shook his head again, "If it's just the two of us, it will be too dangerous if we are caught up by the people of the Science God Sect." ”

Xin Guangli pondered for a moment and said: "Having said that, but it is really a last resort, even if you are the only one, it is good to be able to break out of the encirclement." ”

He suddenly transmitted a voice to Wang Xiaotian and said, "Dean Wang is not in the Fourth Research Institute in Xijing City, but in the breeding base of Zhongnan Mountain. ”

Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "Why did you tell me this?"

Xin Guangli said: "As a last resort, we will drag them, you take it into the forest, go to the breeding base of Zhongnan Mountain, and go to Dean Wang." ”

"Do you have to find Dean Wang?"

"Yes. In the past three years, Xiao Li and I have been getting along almost day and night, and we will be bought by the Science and God Sect and betray the research institute. God knows, the Keshen Sect also bought which people to do internal response. At the moment, no one in the research institute can believe it except Dean Wang. ”

Wang Xiaotian said, "Is Dean Wang easy to find? Besides, even if I see him, can he believe me?"

Xin Guangli took out a long mahogany locket from the deerskin bag he carried with him and handed it to Wang Xiaotian, "This is given to me by the dean." It's a token between me and the dean. ”

Wang Xiaotian took it and opened it, and saw that in the mahogany box, there was a blue flannel, and there was a depression more than ten centimeters long in the middle of the flannel, and there was a black fusiform rod in it, with a golden strip clip three or four centimeters long at one end, and a small white flower the size of a little finger tip was inlaid at the top.

The rods and the small white flowers at the top, I don't know what material they are made of, look very warm.

Wang Xiaotian didn't know why, "This is?"

"Fountain pens. Xin Guangli said: "To be precise, it is a fountain pen in the old era, Wanbao X, this is an old antique, especially in such a good condition, it is even more rare." If it weren't for the successful cultivation of the Flame Beast, Dean Wang would not be willing to give it to me. ”

Wang Xiaotian became curious, and reached out to get it.

Xin Guangli hurriedly said, "Hey...... You have to be careful. Although it looks pretty good, it has been preserved in the ruins for more than a thousand years, especially the pen part, which is very fragile, so don't crush it all at once. ”

When Wang Xiaotian heard this, he quickly withdrew his hand, closed the wooden box, and said regretfully: "Forget it, I still don't take it out, it would be a pity if it was broken." ”

He handed the small wooden box to Xin Guangli, "I don't dare to carry such a valuable thing, so you should take it." ”

Xin Guangli shook his head and said, "You put it away first." It's an insurance policy of last resort. I'm afraid that when the time comes, I may not be able to hand it over to you. ”

Wang Xiaotian thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I'll take it first." I'll give it back to you when it's all gone. ”

As he spoke, he carefully put the small mahogany box into the bag on his waist. In fact, after he put his hand in the bag, he received the things into the original crystal space.

Xin Guangli smiled faintly, but his eyebrows were twisted. He suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly shouted, "Stop." ”

Ye Shicheng hurriedly slowed down and braked.

Wang Xiaotian asked in surprise: "Why stop?"

Xin Guangli looked at Wang Xiaotian with a firm gaze, "Xiaotian, we have to go separately immediately." ”

Wang Xiaotian frowned and said, "Why do you want to separate? Wouldn't it be easier to be broken by each of them?"

Xin Guangli explained: "This time and that time. Previously, we walked together, the purpose of which was to concentrate our forces and break through the interception of the Keshen cultists. ”

"However, judging from the interception of these two divine cultists, although they have frequent movements, they have no strength, they are all about to collapse at the touch of a button, and most of them are harassing. ”

"This shows that their strength in front of us is limited and they can't stop us, so they have to delay our speed through frequent harassment, so that Master Lu can lead people to catch up quickly. ”

Wang Xiaotian said: "If Master Lu catches up soon, then we can't be separated." Shouldn't we hurry up now, as long as we break through their interception, won't it be safe?"

Xin Guangli shook his head and said, "Although I don't know how high Master Lu's Force level is, judging from Miss Ling's reaction when she learned that Master Lu arrived, he must be a very formidable opponent. ”

"In addition, since he dares to be called a master, the level of the Force will definitely not be low, at least a sixth-level master, and it will be even higher. All of us together are not necessarily his opponents. ”

"The speed of the steam locomotive is limited, and we can't go much faster if we want to. If we abandon the locomotive and rush to the road, we are afraid that when we are overtaken, we will already be tired and lie down, and we will not even have the strength to fight back. ”

"Besides, I can't guarantee that there is no powerful ambush in front of me, and if I abandon the locomotive and rush over exhausted, won't I be caught in the net?"

"So, the best thing to do is for us to keep going, attract the Cultists, and you take the Flame Beast into the jungle. The jungle is so big, it will be difficult for them to find you for a while, and if you are lucky, you may not be able to meet the Keshen Sect at all, and you will be able to find Dean Wang. ”

Wang Xiaotian knew that now was not the time to be rash, so he thought about it calmly and felt that Xin Guangli's method was the most feasible at the moment.

However, he asked worriedly, "What will Master Lu do with you?"

Xin Guangli frowned, analyzed it carefully, and said, "Miss Ye, they are from the Ye family. The Ye family runs bounty pavilions all over the country and has great influence. ”

"And she is not deeply involved in this matter, and we are just a simple entrustment relationship. I believe that as long as Master Lu's brain is not completely broken, he will not be embarrassed by Miss Ye and them, and the Ye family will be a strong enemy out of thin air. ”

Wang Xiaotian nodded, although the Science and God Sect is an illegal organization, it only has dissenting opinions on the "Electricity Ban Act" and scientific research concepts, and its actions are relatively extreme, and it is not an unreasonable cult that endangers society.

For them to exist for so long, there must be a certain soil and social foundation. It is impossible to be completely cut off from secular society.

Moreover, over the years, they have been working hard to gain the recognition and support of the secular society. Therefore, they will not rashly offend large families that have a great influence in secular society. Therefore, Ye Zhiqiu and Ye Shicheng should be safe.

"What about you and Zhao Qiong?" asked Wang Xiaotian.

Xin Guangli glanced at Wang Xiaotian deeply and said, "The safety of the two of us depends on you." ”

Wang Xiaotian was confused.

Xin Guangli explained, "The Flame Beast is their primary target, and I am the secondary target. As long as they haven't gotten their hands on the Flame Beast, they won't kill me easily. So, I don't have to worry about my life until I get the Flame Beast. ”

Wang Xiaotian understood what Xin Guangli meant.

The ideal result of the Cultists of the Science God Cult should be to get the Flame Beast and capture Xin Guangli alive, so that there are not only results, but also the witnesses of the entire experiment, plus their own research materials, they can be confirmed by the three parties to get twice the result with half the effort.

The second-class result is to only get the Flame Beast. Because they do not exchange information with the Fourth Research Institute, and Xin Guangli also said that even if he repeats the test, he may not be able to succeed at one time.

Therefore, even if the Science God Sect obtains the results of the Flame Beast, it may not be able to go smoothly, and to restore the entire test process, it is necessary to conduct a detailed test on the Flame Beast, and then explore and try many times before it can be successful.

The result of the second class was that they did not get the flame beast, but only captured Xin Guangli. At this time, the value of Xin Guangli became important.

No matter what method the Keshen Sect uses, whether it is torture to extract confessions, coercion and temptation, or beauty schemes, it must find a way to make Xin Guangli open his mouth and tell the entire test process. They then combined their own research data and conducted repeated experiments.

Because the information provided by Xin Guangli may not be completely correct, and because there are too many uncontrollable factors in the process of the test, even if Xin Guangli's confession is not concealed, their test may not be able to succeed quickly.

Therefore, it will be a long-term project to achieve results and create another flame beast. In this way, if Xin Guangli is arrested, it is inevitable that he will suffer hardship, but his life will not be in danger.

Because the Scientists need him alive in order to verify at any time certain details of the experiment. This process may be a year or two, or it may be a decade or two.

Thinking about this, Wang Xiaotian's worries about Xin Guangli were alleviated a lot.

"What about Zhao Qiong?" asked Wang Xiaotian.

Xin Guangli was very surprised, looked at Wang Xiaotian and said, "I thought you wouldn't consider her, after all, there was an unpleasant incident between you." ”

Wang Xiaotian nodded, "Not bad." I'm very angry with her, and I haven't gotten rid of it yet. But no matter how I say it, I have fought side by side, ignoring her life and death, I can't do it. ”

Xin Guangli was ashamed and said, "I'm not as good as you at this point." He paused and said, "I can only try to save her life, if I can't save myself, then ......."

Wang Xiaotian understood the meaning of Xin Guangli's words. If the Science God Sect wants to kill Zhao Qiong or use Zhao Qiong to coerce Xin Guangli, Xin Guangli will make concessions and confide in some secrets.

But if it comes to Xin Guangli and they all lose their value, then the two of them can only be good companions on Huangquan Road.

Wang Xiaotian said solemnly: "Professor Xin, don't worry, I won't let them get the flame beast." ”

Xin Guangli nodded, and suddenly said: "If you are really desperate, you can release the fish to the sea and the tiger to the mountain." But no matter what, you have to find a way to meet Dean Wang and tell him all about what happened. ”

"I believe that with Dean Wang's temper, he will never sit idly by. In that case, even if we are caught by the Science and God Sect, we may not have a chance to get out of trouble. ”

Wang Xiaotian nodded.

Xin Guangli picked up the cage and placed it on the seat beside him. The flame beast in the cage, holding a walnut kernel, was gnawing on it.

Xin Guangli looked at the flame beast with complicated eyes, and said in a low voice: "Such an inconspicuous little thing, it took three generations of hard work, and more than thirty people died before and after, is it worth it?"
