Chapter 530 Vision
On the edge of Fengde District in the central city, there are abandoned high-rise buildings and dilapidated streets everywhere, and a large group of insects are coming here.
This is the location of the Skeleton Gang. The large amount of exotic algae planted here effectively interferes with the territory of the Shrimp Mother. Moreover, this is a low-lying area with water accumulation all year round, so it is almost defenseless against alien creatures.
After the arrival of these insects, a large number of Skeleton Gang members crawled out of the abandoned cars and empty buildings, watching the insects flying in one by one.
Then they landed on the vines clinging to the ruined building and the surrounding trees, where they quickly built nests, and soon some insects were rapidly undergoing some kind of metamorphosis.
The members of the Skeleton Gang were all staring with bloodshot eyes, but one of their leaders became excited and waved his hand behind them, "Bring out the stuff."
The gang quickly handed him a metal can, which he hung around his neck and quickly climbed up the tree.
He ignored the bites of the insects and took a look in front of the insect nest. He saw a fat insect twisting inside. It grinned, clamped its legs around the tree trunk, and then poured the metal can into the palm of its hand. Pieces of debris emitting faint fluorescence came out.
If Lao Qi were here, he would be able to see that these were the things he bought from Yangzhi and resold here.
The leader sprinkled these in the insect nest, waited for a while, and saw that the insects seemed to swell slightly. He grinned, climbed down quickly, and then went to the insect nest on another tree and did the same thing.
Just half an hour later, reddish-blue cocoons began to appear around the insect nest that first scattered the debris, and they appeared densely on the nearby walls and tree trunks like scalded bubbles.
As this kind of phenomenon gradually increased, the gang members below all showed looks of infinite expectation.
In Motie Mountain, Cao Guiqi was sitting in the courtyard of the manor. Under the falling peach petals, he was copying calligraphy from old times at the agarwood desk.
Just then, with a snap, a bug fell from above, hitting the clean white paper and leaving a few dirty marks. He simply flicked his sleeve and swept the bug to the ground.
After writing the last character, he put down his brush and glanced upward. There were scattered insects swirling among the swaying treetops. He said, "It looks like some have slipped through."
Uncle Ding said on the side: "Master, there are only a few. The biological field in the manor has been released, and the surrounding area is also being sprayed with pesticides. There won't be too many coming in."
Cao Guiqi looked off into the distance. He saw an airship hovering in the sky, spraying potions downward. He said, "It's been more than half a month."
Uncle Ding bowed and said, "Don't worry, Master. The manor has sufficient supplies, enough for three months of consumption. By then, whatever situation should be over. Moreover, the Government Affairs Office has strengthened the security of Motie Mountain in recent days, so there will be no problems."
Cao Guiqi didn't comment, only saying, "Those people from yesterday are here again?"
Uncle Ding said, "Yes, they are here again, but they won't leave. They say they must see the young master and that he will regret it if he doesn't see them. Do you want me to drive them away?"
Cao Guiqi looked at the falling petals and said, "Don't worry about them. The old era has long passed. Those who can't let go will sooner or later be washed away by the waves of the new era."
Underground city area.
With a snap, Lu Ke slapped a bug to death on the car window. He muttered, "What the hell are these? Why are there so many of them?"
He looked up at the sun vine that was emitting light. There were dense swarms of insects surrounding it, making a loud buzzing sound.
Yu Gang had just finished his class. He pushed the door open, glanced at the bug, then looked upwards. He said, "The appearance of these bugs isn't normal. Chen Chuan told us to be careful a few days ago. Maybe this is related."
"Master, you're talking about this? I don't think so," Lu Ke scratched his head, "They're just some small bugs, they can be killed with a slap."
Yu Gang said in a deep voice, "It's better to be careful. Go to your Senior Sister Nan later and ask her to check with the company to see if there are any special circumstances. Also, be as careful as possible these few days."
Lu Ke agreed immediately. Being in the underground city meant one had to be careful. But when he was about to leave, he was startled because he saw groups of rats running through the tunnel, as if they were migrating.
This is surprising, because rats are daily food in the underground city. If they come out, they will be caught. They usually only dare to hide in dark places. How could they dare to run outside so openly?
After watching for a while, he realized deep down that something might be wrong and immediately said, "Master, I'll go right away."
Outside the Yinglu District, on a ship at sea, Gong Ying Changxiu was practicing sword moves on the wide deck. In the distance were Guan Shangjing and a group of Fenglin Pavilion disciples.
Because there are people from the Esoteric Investigation Bureau stationed in the Ferris Wheel Company for a long time and have not evacuated yet, these fighters from overseas cannot stay in the company during the operation and can only be deployed at sea.
When Gong Ying Changxiu was swinging his sword, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a large group of tiny insects coming towards him. It was like a cloud of insects, and when they passed over the disciples, they caused a burst of shouts and curses.
When these insects were about to approach him, he just waved his knife lightly, and it was as if a breeze blew out of nowhere. All the insects were blown away by the wind, spun a few times, and were outside the boat. Then they flew away again as if nothing had happened.
After just a few dances, they suddenly exploded one after another, their tissues splashing out. At that moment, a long band of fog seemed to have exploded from beginning to end on the sea surface on this side of the ship.
This is the secret technique of Fenglin Pavilion, "Singing Wind Slash". The sword is slashed up, the force is attached to the enemy's body, and then it explodes out. This is a skill that takes into account both spirit and strength. It can cut the enemy invisibly, which makes everyone feel excited.
Guan Shangjing was amazed. These disciples only saw the momentum and destructive power of the sword moves, but he saw Gong Ying Changxiu's perfect control of the strength. The number of insects that were killed just now was exactly over 3,000, not one more or one less.
He thought to himself, "Senior Brother Gong Ying must have obtained Master's permission to go through the Ghost Gate."
The Ghost Gate is a fissure that has been passed down through the generations in Fenglin Pavilion. It is said that this place is at the bottom of the sea, and one must cultivate one's physical strength to a certain level before being able to enter it.
He heard that the creatures on the other side of the rift had been entangled with Fenglin Pavilion for hundreds of years, coexisting with each other and integrating into one. So although it was dangerous there, spiritual practice could be more effective there, and one could also learn and comprehend the various secrets left by the predecessors of Fenglin Pavilion.
However, although Fenglinguan has a heritage, it is, after all, a legacy passed down from the old times. Entering the new era, only with a strong and active consciousness can we grasp the future.
At this time, Gong Ying Changxiu suddenly stopped. He looked at the disciples of Fenglin Hall standing on the side and pointed his knife at one of them.
"You, come here, I will teach you this move 'Singing Wind Slash' with the seal knife."
The disciple showed an extremely excited expression, said loudly, and ran forward. The other disciples behind him all showed envy.
When the disciple arrived in front of Gong Ying Changxiu, he immediately knelt down and then raised his head to face the sea.
Gong Ying Changxiu slowly raised the knife, paused for a moment, and then brought the knife down. The tip of the knife hit the disciple's eyebrows with incredible accuracy. The latter was shocked violently, and confusion appeared in his eyes.
After a moment, he regained consciousness, quickly moved back a distance on his knees, then bowed deeply and shouted with all his strength, "Thank you, Senior Brother Gong Ying, for the seal!"
Gong Ying Changxiu swung his sword, slowly sheathed it, and walked towards Guan Shangjing. The disciples on both sides bowed and made way for him.
Guan Shangjing walked up and followed him, saying, "Senior Brother Gong Ying, although Junior Brother Hui Julang delivered the challenge letter to the Xuangong Building, something unexpected happened and it was intercepted by San Chenghuang."
"The three cities of Langtao Pavilion are deserted?"
Gong Yingchangxiu showed an interested look, "So he was the one who took the blow?"
Guan Shangjing nodded, "Yes, Senior Brother Gong Ying, this Sanchenghuang seems to be a little ungrateful."
Gong Ying Changxiu waved his hand and said, "How can a hero act the same as an ordinary person?" With San Chenghuang's intervention, this battle became more suspenseful.
"Brother, are you going to send another challenge?"
Gong Ying Changxiu said, "No need for that. Mr. Chen should have known of my arrival by now. Let's leave this battle with some suspense... hm?"
He suddenly looked towards the sea because he had just seen a flash of light.
Guan Shangjing's expression became serious.
Those disciples did not notice this abnormality, but a third-level fighter like him saw it clearly. It was not a flash of lightning, but a gap created by the collision between the two worlds, although it was only fleeting.
He understood that the situation must have become unstable. It seemed that the situation would change in the next few days. The next few days would be a critical moment to determine the future direction of the Ferris Wheel Company.
In the dormitory of Xuangong Building, Chen Chuan was sitting on the sofa, carefully wiping the Xuejun Knife with a cloth.
As the knife absorbs something from the enemy's weapon each time, it undoubtedly becomes tougher and sharper than before.
In the recent confrontations, if it was a real collision, both of them would be able to cut through the opponent's weapons.
This should be what was first absorbed from Xiong Jianyi.
But what exactly it is, he still doesn't know until now.
But he was not worried. The knife was in his hand and was under his control. He could always see any subsequent changes intuitively. After wiping the knife and turning it in his hand, there was a sudden flash outside the window, like a flash of lightning.
He paused and looked outside. He then saw several similar flashes in the sky above. He immediately identified what it was and thought to himself, "It looks like it's coming soon."
