Chapter 382 Thunder Devouring Insect

A moment later, Qian Duoduo returned with the title deed and a blood-stained space device, and happily reported, "Senior, Qiyun Pavilion is now ours. I haven't touched the space device yet. Please see if there's anything you can use inside."

Chen Wangping took the space device, but didn't look at it yet. He took Qian Duoduo into the interrogation room.

In the room, Guan Feifan's injuries were not serious, but his mental state was a little sluggish and he was very depressed. He also knew that he was too reckless this time. Now that he had spent so much money on buying his life, it would be difficult to make a comeback.

Chen Wangping walked over, raised his hand, and shot a light bolt of lightning at Guan Feifan, helping him focus. He then asked bluntly, "Guan Feifan, was someone sent here? Did you meet anyone before you came here?"

Guan Feifan subconsciously recalled the answer. He was very angry when he returned home, but he also knew that he could not act rashly in the city, otherwise it would be very troublesome.

Something is wrong. Why did I come here to attack the Treasure Pavilion?

"Yes, it's fire..."

Before Guan Feifan could finish his words, he suddenly twitched all over, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he instantly lost his breath and fell to the side.

Qian Duoduo was shocked. He quickly stepped forward to see if Guan Feifan could be saved.

Chen Wangping stretched out his hand to stop Qian Duoduo, and at the same time waved his hand to mobilize the energy in the Nine Thunder Formation to isolate Guan Feifan.

Next second.

Countless small insects glowing with lightning suddenly emerged from the orifices of Guan Feifan's body and quickly gnawed at his corpse.

When Qian Duoduo saw the insect, his face immediately changed. He pointed at it in horror and said, "This, this is a lightning-eating insect? How could Guan Feifan have this kind of insect on his body?"

Chen Wangping asked, "What's a lightning bug? Do you know it?"

Qian Duoduo took out a piece of paper that looked like a wanted poster and said, "Not only do I know him, most people in the Thunder Source Land should know him. Two years ago, a level five Thunder Elementalist nicknamed Thunder Devourer came to Thunder Dragon City to ambush the Dragon City Lord. He secretly released these Thunder Devourer insects that specifically restrained thunder energy. Once a Thunder Elementalist is infected, they can't get rid of it. The lightning energy they release becomes nutrients for these insects, and the more they fight, the stronger they become. Later, the Thunder Source Land took action and spent a huge amount of money to hire someone to kill the Thunder Devourer and exterminate all the Thunder Devourer insects in the territory. They also listed Thunder Devourer insects as banned insects, and no one is allowed to breed or carry them. They will be scanned when entering the city, and living Thunder Devourer insects must survive on flesh and blood and cannot enter space devices."

At this point, Qian Duoduo himself felt something was amiss. "No, if Guan Feifan had something that could restrain you, Senior, why didn't he use it before? Instead, he was devoured to death by the Thunder Devourer. Then how did he bring the Thunder Devourer into Thunder Dragon City?"

Chen Wangping shook his head. "This means that Guan Feifan didn't raise these lightning bugs himself. The person behind it is showing off his strength."

During the conversation, the lightning insects had almost finished eating Guan Feifan's corpse, and were now starting to crawl towards the nearby lightning energy with their fangs and claws bared. After getting close, they opened their mouths like suction cups and lay on the lightning energy to suck it up.

Chen Wangping felt it and found that these lightning insects absorbed lightning energy very quickly. Even a small group of lightning insects the size of a washbasin could absorb seventy to eighty points of lightning energy per second.

No wonder the Thunder Source Land regards it as a forbidden insect. This thing has to be banned.

Since lightning energy can't do anything to them, let's try gun energy.

Chen Wangping took out a submachine gun and fired armor-piercing bullets that had not been used for a long time at the thunder-eating insects.

"Bang bang bang"

The armor-piercing bullet instantly tore the body of the lightning insect apart, breaking it into pieces, and the insect's blood, shining with lightning, splattered everywhere.

No power to resist.

Qian Duoduo looked at Chen Wangping's skillful use of the submachine gun and asked in surprise, "Senior, you, you can also use a gun?"

Chen Wangping had already finished a magazine. While changing the magazine with one hand, he asked in confusion, "Is it so strange to use a gun?"

After asking this question, he realized that something was wrong.

What's wrong is that since entering Leilong City, I have rarely seen any traces of firearms or weapons.

Obviously, when we were in Fire Bull City before, we always saw guns. Hunters would even dig up energy cannons, and other forces would also use guns as auxiliary weapons.

But inside Leilong City, whether it is the guards of major forces or the bodyguards of merchant groups walking on the road, basically no one is seen carrying guns. Only occasionally some small merchant groups that go out to clear out strange beasts will carry guns.

In the entire Leilong City, gun users are rare.

Could it be the influence of lightning energy?

After hearing Chen Wangping's question, Qian Duoduo said as if it was a matter of course, "Of course it's very rare. These days, fighting relies on supernatural powers. Who still uses firearms? Firearms require buying guns and bullets for practice, and they also need constant maintenance. If you have that kind of time, wouldn't it be better to practice more supernatural powers?"

Chen Wangping shook his head and said, "But the charm of firearms is that they can allow people without superpowers to unleash powerful combat power. With practice, even ordinary people can unleash damage comparable to that of a fourth-level superpower."

Qian Duoduo shrugged and said, "Senior, you are right, but the problem is that people without special abilities don't have the money to buy guns or practice, so this condition doesn't hold."

Chen Wangping frowned and asked, "Have you been to other cities in central China? Is it the same in the Land of Fire? Are there any places where people use guns a lot? Or do you know any gun dealers?"

Qian Duoduo looked up and recalled, then replied, "Senior, as far as I know, even in cities that are worse off than Thunder Dragon City, the number of gun users is very small. Everyone is cultivating their supernatural powers. As for gun dealers, I know there are some in some towns. They basically use them to drive away strange beasts and for self-protection."

Having said that, he seemed to suddenly remember something and took out a small mechanical object wrapped in iron.

The iron sheet on the outside of this thing is very smooth and looks like it has been specially polished. There are two pairs of small propellers on it, and a piece of polished but not very transparent crystal on the bottom.

Qian Duoduo handed it to Chen Wangping and said, "Wait, senior, you asked about the gun. I remember that I received this thing when the Treasure Pavilion was also a pawnshop. The person who wanted to pawn it said that its power was comparable to that of a third-level remote viewer, and that if it was used with a firearm, it could be used to surround and kill a fourth-level psychic. I didn't believe it at the time and asked him to use it. He then said that it couldn't be used without batteries. I said that this thing definitely couldn't enter the mine pool because it was made of iron. If it went in, it would be damaged by lightning. No, then he got anxious and said that I didn't know anything. He also said that if we don't develop firearms and only cultivate superpowers, sooner or later we will all be doomed."
