Chapter 126: Rock Safety Zone (14)
The auction venue was dimly lit and bustling with people.
Insect followers of all kinds with outstanding abilities gather here, and the air is filled with the smell of insect stones and desire.
Xie Mian changed his appearance and mingled with the crowd holding E Shifang, scanning the surroundings for any trace of Philip.
"Sure enough."
Xie Mian said in a low voice when he saw the many high-level security personnel at the auction.
Goose Shifang nodded, flapping his wings slightly: "Fili is behind that door."
He closed his eyes, and time quickly flowed backwards in his eyes. He saw a tall man with golden hair enter the door.
The man is the same person in the photo given by Mrs. Scorpio.
Time passed little by little, and the auction soon reached its climax.
One item after another was put on the table, attracting people to bid.
Xie Mian exchanged glances with Madam Scorpion not far away. It was time to take action.
He quietly approached the door behind the auction table, while Mrs. Scorpion created chaos in the crowd to attract attention.
"Ahh, bug monsters, why are there bug monsters at the auction?"
"It's actually a flea monster. It's itching me to death."
"Where's the security? Come here quickly. What are you doing for dinner?"
Xie Mian used the key given by Mrs. Scorpion, opened the door and walked in.
The room was empty except for a desk, and next to it was a huge water tank filled with water.
The water was still sloshing, having just been touched by someone, and Fili was still inside the house.
Suddenly, a cold wind with a fishy smell blew from behind.
Xie Mian turned around suddenly and saw Philip standing at the door with a strange smile on his face.
His mouth was wide open and his tongue was sticking out.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
"I came to the auction and accidentally took the wrong road."
While coping with this, the insect energy in his hand had already gathered its maximum strength. The moment the word "road" came out of his mouth, the long sword swiftly chopped Philip.
The blade hit Philip's head, and with a "bang", Philip's head was completely intact.
"As expected of an S-rank insect follower, his strength is so formidable!"
Xie Mian drew back his sword, dodged Fili's attack, and looked for an opportunity to counterattack.
Just as Philip was about to attack Xie Mian again, Lady Scorpion suddenly appeared, flashed behind Philip, and wrapped her long scorpion tail around Philip's neck.
The stinger on the scorpion's tail kept twisting and growing, trying to get into Philip's mouth.
Philip's neck had been wrapped to the extreme, but his expression didn't change at all, even his breath didn't change.
He sneered and pulled Mrs. Scorpion's tail from her waist like pulling a thread.
Goose Shifang was leisurely flipping through the documents on his desk. After seeing Mrs. Scorpion's body separated, he slowly said, "Wife, break the water tank."
Without asking the reason, Xie Mian swung his knife and split the water tank in half.
The water in the water tank rushed out and soaked the carpet.
Seeing the water tank being smashed, the originally calm Philip suddenly looked ferocious, "My water, who told you to touch my water!"
He waved his fists and glared at Xie Mian fiercely, but he knelt on the ground and tried to drink the water.
"Gah! Don't let him drink the water."
Xie Mian kicked the wet carpet aside and kept trying to stop the increasingly frantic Philip from getting close to the water on the ground.
Three minutes later.
"Water... give me water... I'm dying of drinking, give me water!"
Fili clutched his throat with both hands and stumbled back and forth on the ground.
Suddenly, his body expanded and deformed like a balloon, making a creepy crackling sound.
"Not good!" Xie Mian was shocked and quickly stepped back.
E Shifang instantly opened the protective shield to protect Xie Mian and himself.
Philip's body suddenly exploded, and countless tiny, disgusting insects poured out of his body, flying and crawling everywhere.
“Rustle, rustle—”
These bugs crawled very fast, and as they continued to crawl out, only a piece of dry skin was left of Philip's body.
Mrs. Scorpion dragged only half of her upper body and retreated frantically with horror on her face.
——Her tail was actually eaten by these bugs.
"Mr. Xie, please save me!"
"Thank you, Mr.!"
Xie Mian looked grim, and he didn't know how to deal with these densely packed insects.
These bugs roamed the house with impunity, as if they were in an empty house.
"Gah! Honey, I'll take care of it."
E Shifang took out his lighter, lit a flame, and threw it into the pile of insects. Immediately afterwards, a bolt of lightning struck the lighter.
The lighter exploded instantly.
The insects crackled in the flames and soon turned into a pile of ash.
Xie Mian noticed that a bug seemed to want to escape.
The insect was a strange green in color, with a tiny tentacle on its head that was constantly trembling.
"Shifang, let's follow!"
Xie Mian brought E Shifang and followed Green Worm quietly.
The green worm crawled very fast and soon arrived near the research institute.
"Its destination is actually here!"
Xie Mian hid his body, a look of surprise in his eyes. Could this bug be related to scientific research?
The door of the research institute was closed and the high walls were covered with surveillance cameras.
He held E Shifang in his arms and carefully sneaked into the research institute, avoiding cameras and guards.
In the monitoring room of the research institute, Cui Zhixing was staring at the screen with a sneer on his face.
"I didn't expect you to find this place."
Cui Zhixing muttered to himself, then picked up the communicator and gave the order, "Kill that fat goose and capture Xie Mian alive."
"I have a bad feeling."
Xie Mian held E Shifang in his arms, staring at the deserted corridor, his uneasiness growing.
Soon, his anxiety came true.
A group of fully armed, masked insect followers rushed out and surrounded the two.
There was a burst of gunfire and bullets came like raindrops.
The shield blocked the bullets, preventing them from getting close. Xie Mian also unleashed his long sword, directly cutting a path through the crowd.
These insect followers were no match for the two of them.
Cui Zhixing stared at the screen, squinting his eyes, his lips curled up slightly. "Looks like it's my turn to take action. He's worthy of being my best experimental subject, and he's still so amazing."
On the monitoring console, the green insect's tentacles swayed as it crawled into Cui Zhixing's fingertips.
The moment the green worm crawled in, the fingertips opened and closed like water, leaving no trace.
After seeing that the bullets could not hurt Xie Mian, these armed insect followers quickly began to retreat.
Xie Mian grabbed one of them and threatened, "Where is the special insect stone?"
The tip of the knife was about to pierce the man's heart, but he still didn't speak. Knowing that he wouldn't speak, Xie Mian directly shattered the man's insect stone.
He lifted the mask on the other person's face. There was no human face under the mask, but a fat worm connected to the neck.
