The bucktoothed man practically crawled out of the room, forcing the most fawning smile of his life onto his face. He bent his waist at a standard 90-degree angle, holding a bulging bag in both hands, his voice trembling.
"Gentlemen! The base commander... the base commander has specifically instructed us! This, this is the crystal core for you!"
Chi Yi stepped forward expressionlessly, took the bag and weighed it.
The bucktoothed man quickly added, "This morning...this morning we were blind and ignorant! We looked down on you! These...these are our small tokens of appreciation...as an apology! Please, gentlemen, have mercy on us!"
He signaled his men to bring up another small bag of crystal cores.
Chi Yi took a quick glance and found that it was full of first-level crystal cores. He reached out and pushed the bag of "apology" away.
The attitude is clear - disdain.
Lu Xici: "Open the door."
The bucktoothed man straightened his back a little as if he had been pardoned, or as if he had been whipped. He roared behind him, "Quick! Open the door! Open it all! Quick!"
A group of guards hurriedly pulled open the heavy gate of the base with a creaking sound, making way for a wide passage.
Lu Nange and his group walked out of the Fengren base with calm expressions.
The three "human-shaped objects" were also dragged by the vines and slowly moved out of the gate.
Not until they disappeared outside the door and turned right did the bucktoothed man and a group of guards dare to slowly and tremblingly straighten their backs that were bent 90 degrees.
"I was so scared... so scared..." A guard collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. "I almost thought... we were going to be hanged too... like those three corpses..."
Just then, Wang Xi, Chuanzi and others came over.
Just overheard their discussion, Chuanzi said: "Fortunately you didn't cause any trouble, you're not too stupid..."
The bucktoothed man and the others were startled and looked at Wang Xi and the others warily: "Who are you?"
Wang Xi's face was serious: "Did you take an extra level one crystal core from each of them this morning?"
The bucktoothed man's heart skipped a beat and he hesitated, not daring to answer.
Wang Xi revealed his identity: "Deputy Base Commander Kang Qian sent us here. I advise you to tell the truth. The three 'corpses' you saw just now..."
She paused, then spoke word by word, "It's Base Commander Mu Jin, his son Mu Cheng, and his daughter Mu Shu."
"W...what?! Base commander?! He...they...killed the base commander? And left???" The bucktoothed man and a group of guards were struck by lightning and could hardly believe their ears!
Chuanzi: "Yes, that's right... They entered our base, killed the Mu family, controlled all the high-level esper of level 4 and 5 in the base, and then swaggered away with their 'trophies'."
The bucktoothed man opened his mouth wide and muttered after a long while: "You... do you want to listen to what you are saying... How is this possible..."
Wang Xi: "Close the gate first! We'll hold it for you for a while. Deputy Base Commander Kang Qian has something to ask you. He's near Area D right now. Go over to him and report the situation immediately!"
......
Lu Nange and his group stood silently in the shadows at the corner of the street, while the gate to the Sharp Blade Base behind them slowly closed...
He Zhuo crossed his arms, squinting at Shen Zhiheng who was following closely behind him, and said unhappily, "Hey, Hua Kongque, you can just drop me off here. The gate isn't closed tightly yet, you still have time to get out now."
Chen Zhiheng: "Stop! I can't go to the Fengren base anymore... I'm going to find your Chi family base now!"
He changed the subject and asked tentatively, "Wait... the Chi family base is on Anfu Road, right? I have to make sure I'm not in the wrong place."
