Chapter 658 Seizing the Seed Again
Zhou Wen originally thought that Qiao Siyuan and the others would take action soon, but who knew that they just arranged the place so tightly that not even a fly could fly in, but they had no intention of taking action.
"He must be waiting for someone. Will Shen Yuchi come in person?" Zhou Wen felt that it would be perfect if Shen Yuchi really came in person.
Zhou Wen didn't dare to barge into the Supervisory Bureau's headquarters, but if Shen Yuchi dared to come, Zhou Wen would try his best to see if he could keep him.
Because there were many monitoring companion pets and instruments placed on the lake, Zhou Wen hid in the water and didn't dare to move at all. If there was any abnormality, he might be discovered.
After enduring for more than two days, he finally found that someone had come to the town. To Zhou Wen's disappointment, the person who came was not Shen Yuchi, but a man he did not know.
Qiao Siyuan and Liz called the man Inspector Cai and were very respectful to him. Zhou Wen immediately thought that the man should be Cai Jin, one of the four great inspectors.
Cai Jin was holding an alloy box in his hand. There was an alloy chain on the box that connected it to Cai Jin's hand.
The last time the Yuanjing Mine was stolen, the Supervisory Bureau suffered huge losses. Shen Yuchi only gave Cai Jin a light penalty, which made Cai Jin very grateful.
This time, Cai Jin was ordered to come to Funiu Mountain quietly, and he had made sufficient preparations. No mistakes could be made under any circumstances.
"Minister Qiao, how is the defense work here going?" Cai Jin asked.
"We have fully deployed surveillance and no outsiders have been found." Qiao Siyuan replied.
"Very good, let's start tomorrow." Cai Jin said.
Liz asked puzzledly: "Inspector, why don't you take action tonight?"
"I've traveled such a long way, I need to rest for a night and keep myself in the best condition. Let's take action tomorrow." Cai Jin explained.
But after Cai Jin left Qiao Siyuan's temporary office, he did not rest, but summoned a kind of companion pet that looked like honey, and there were a large number of them, flying around.
Obviously Cai Jin was not confident in their deployment and wanted to do it again.
"These people in the Supervisory Bureau are really more cautious than each other." Zhou Wen saw that Cai Jin had walked through the valley by himself, and paid special attention to the woods and lakes. He also summoned a companion pet that looked like a water snake to search in the water.
Fortunately, Zhou Wen was well prepared and dug a hole in the lake in advance. He hid in it like a loach and barely escaped Cai Jin's search.
Liz was very dissatisfied with Cai Jin's actions: "Does Inspector Cai not trust our ability to do things?"
Qiao Siyuan said calmly, "This is a serious matter, so it's better to be cautious."
After Cai Jin redeployed the defenses, he returned to the temporary base to rest. It was not until nightfall the next day that he got up and rushed to the lake with Qiao Siyuan and others.
The inspectors and their companion pets have surrounded the lake completely, making it impossible for anyone to get in or out.
Zhou Wen suddenly remembered something. When they were going to offer a blood sacrifice to the Epiphyllum later, wouldn't a lot of blood spill into the lake? Thinking of the lake full of blood, Zhou Wen felt a little uncomfortable.
But now the lake is surrounded by inspectors and companion pets, and it is too late for Zhou Wen to go out.
"Minister Qiao, let's start." After arriving at the lake, Cai Jin summoned his companion pet again to search, and then said to Qiao Siyuan.
"Liz." Qiao Siyuan gestured to Liz.
Liz immediately asked the inspectors to take action. One by one, the inspectors opened the buckets and poured the blood into the lake from different directions.
The buckets of blood soon dyed the lake water red. Each bucket was 50 kilograms. They brought more than 300 barrels of blood. If so much blood was not poured out, the surrounding area would be filled with a pungent smell of blood.
Zhou Wen was hiding in the water and felt extremely uncomfortable, but he had no choice but to endure it.
Fortunately, not long after, Zhou Wen saw the blood flowing towards the center of the lake, as if attracted by something.
Crash!
The blood-red night-blooming cereus broke out of the water and floated on the surface, greedily absorbing the blood in the water. The snow-white petals soon turned the same color as blood.
In less than an hour, all the blood in the lake was sucked out, making the lake clear again.
However, the petals of the blood-blooming cereus never opened, but there was a red light flashing in the buds.
It was not until this time that Cai Jin opened the box in his hand. Inside the huge box, there was only a small bottle the size of a palm.
Cai Jin picked up the bottle, opened it carefully, spread a pair of eagle wings behind him, flew above the blood cereus, and poured the blood in the small bottle onto the blood cereus.
There was only one drop of blood in the palm-sized alloy bottle. That drop of crystal blood fell on the blood cereus and quickly penetrated into it, instantly making the blood color on the blood cereus completely fade away. The petals turned snow-white again and bloomed.
The blood-blooming cereus has become as pure as a snow lotus, without a trace of blood stain, but from its petals, a bloody light rises into the sky, carrying a strong aura of blood and evil.
"Why is this different from the blood sacrifice to the mountain god?" Zhou Wen was a little surprised when he saw all this.
"It's a success." Cai Jin, Qiao Siyuan and Liz were overjoyed.
Cai Jin flapped his wings and flew towards the blood cereus, wanting to seize the seeds produced by the blood cereus.
Vines with sharp thorns broke out of the water and rolled towards Cai Jin who was in the air. Cai Jin really had some skills and was worthy of being one of the four inspectors.
His figure circled and flew like an eagle, and a lightsaber flashed in his hand, cutting off all the flower vines one by one.
"What kind of sword is that?" Zhou Wen looked at the sword in Cai Jin's hand curiously.
The sword actually had no actual blade and was made entirely of condensed light. It was a bit like the legendary laser sword, but a laser sword should have a device for emitting lasers, but that sword was made entirely of condensed light and had no device.
The flower vines were cut off, and Cai Jin successfully approached the petals. The blood-blooming cereus had no strength to resist, and was about to be captured by Cai Jin.
When Cai Jin was about to take out the seeds of the blood cereus, the lake water next to him suddenly exploded. A blurry figure broke out of the water, reached into the blood cereus first, and snatched away the blood cereus seed that looked like a red gem.
Cai Jin, Qiao Siyuan and the others all changed their expressions. Cai Jin roared angrily, and the lightsaber in his hand turned into a meteor and stabbed towards Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen, wearing jade crystal armor and holding a golden war halberd in his hand, rushed towards the lightsaber.
“Crack!”
The lightsaber was directly shattered by the Golden War God's Halberd. The golden divine light of the Golden War God's Halberd pierced through the void and pierced Cai Jin's chest.
