Chapter 221
Chi Hao stared at the message board in disbelief.
After realizing that he was not in the same shop with Lan Yunqing, Xiao An and Xiao Qi, he slowly calmed down.
But the question is, who is this person?
In real life, few people dare to call him that, because except for his sister and Lao Xie, everyone else has been dealt with by him, so...
【Green as Blue】: Sister?
Was Hongli also recruited by the mysterious businessman?
【Sky Stone】: ...
[Xiang Tianshi]: Do you think I am called your sister?
Chi Hao was stunned. He knew that a name was very different from the person, so he hadn't looked closely at it. After hearing what he said...
His heartbeat suddenly began to accelerate and his steps stopped unconsciously.
Someone passing by bumped into him, and he came to his senses, quickly quickened his pace, and found a corner to squat down.
Xiangtian Stone... Xiangtian... Chaori?
This is impossible... This is impossible!
His hands were shaking slightly, but luckily the message board didn't require both hands to operate, so he quickly typed his reply.
【Green as Blue】: Go to the forum and create a paid post!
【Green as Blue】: Let’s go over there and talk!
In less than a few seconds, Chi Hao saw a new paid post on the forum, with the same title as the one he had previously created.
Xiangtianshi only set 500 points. Although it was quite painful for Chi Hao, he chose to pay without any hesitation.
【Green as Blue: Who are you? 】
【Xiang Tianshi: Can’t you guess this? 】
【Green as Blue: Bullshit! I want you to say it yourself!】
[Xiang Tianshi: You have a strong awareness of fraud prevention. It was worth teaching you before.]
【Xiang Tianshi: Who else could I be? 】
Then, Chi Hao saw him reply with the word "thank you".
Tears suddenly started streaming down his face.
Chi Hao quickly erased it. He had a thousand questions in his mind, and he asked them without hesitation in the private chat.
Green as Blue: You're not dead? You weren't eaten by a ferocious beast?
【Xiang Tianshi: Yes】
【Green as Blue: Then where did you die? 】
[Xiang Tianshi: What you said... I'm still in the deserted city]
【Green as Blue: How did you survive? 】
[Xiang Tianshi: Rescued by the men sent by the mysterious businessman]
Chi Hao was stunned. Had the mysterious businessman heard his wish? Did he really save Old Xie?
【Green as Blue: Tell me what's going on! 】
[Xiang Tianshi: You also know the situation in the center of the deserted city. After I was seriously injured, it backfired, and then...]
Looking at Xie Chaori's description, Chi Hao immediately thought of Xiao Risheng and Hai Jing's daughter.
So the mysterious businessman doesn't always appear in children's dreams?
His subordinates are so powerful that they can come and go freely in a place like the center of a deserted city?
Chi Hao was shocked, and the first people he thought of were the two gods, Yin Guang and Wu Yue. They should be the most mysterious existence in the forum.
Green as Blue: So what are you going to do next? Have you gone to see my sister? I'm already at the fortress. I'll report your situation to headquarters.
【Xiang Tianshi: Not for now, I can’t go back anytime soon】
Green as Blue: Why?
[Xiang Tianshi: I owe the mysterious merchant's subordinates 1 million points for rescue fees. I have to pay it back before I can leave...]
Seeing this number, Chi Hao couldn't help but be shocked.
1 million points!
But in his opinion, Lao Xie is still worth so many points, so he has to accept it no matter how expensive it is.
[Green as Blue: I'll help you pay back some points when I earn them in the fortress]
[Xiang Tianshi: You are indeed my good brother! ]
【Green as Blue: You have to pay me back later! 】
[Green Like Blue: If you're in the deserted city, you can still ask my sister for help, right?]
[Xiang Tianshi: Maybe in a few days]
Chi Hao didn't know why he had to wait a few more days. In his opinion, how could he earn points in a deserted place like Huangcheng?
But then he thought that it was possible that the mysterious businessman had assigned a task to Lao Xie, so he didn't ask any more questions.
After all, there is a space crack in the center of the deserted city. The mysterious businessman saved Lao Xie, so it is impossible that he doesn't know this, right?
After knowing that the mysterious businessman saved Lao Xie, Chi Hao's favorability towards this boss soared to the peak.
Even if he and Qingmu Castle might become enemies in the future because of the spatial cracks in the deserted city, Chi Hao didn't care.
There are only a few people he cares about most in this world, and Lao Xie is one of them.
It's just a space crack anyway, it's not like there's no such thing as a crack in Qingmu Castle...
【Green Like Blue: Then I should just tell headquarters that you're dead?】
[Xiang Tianshi: You should stick to your original plan.]
Xie Chaori knew Chi Hao's character very well. Without witnessing his death, he must have run back to the fortress to call for help.
【Green as Blue: OK! 】
【Green Like Blue: Did the Xie family say the same thing?】
Xiang Tianshi: Well, observe the Xie family's reaction after they find out, and then tell me.
Chi Hao agreed.
Just when he was about to end the conversation temporarily, he saw Xie Chaori's message pop up again.
Xiang Tianshi: So, why did you choose such a name? Little Green Brother?
【Green as Blue: …………】
【Green as Blue: Shut up! 】
Chi Hao was so angry that he closed the employee forum.
Anyway, I've already been socially frustrated by Lan Yunqing once, so I don't care this time.
But he quickly thought of something and opened the post to remind him.
【Green as Blue: You are not allowed to call me by my nickname anymore! ! ! !】
[Xiang Tianshi: Which nickname? Haozi?]
Green as Blue: Ahhhhhhh, delete, delete! 】
-
Ping An Grocery Store, attic.
Tang Yu'an pressed the accelerator of the message in a bottle, and as expected, he received the messages in a bottle from Tang Xueyun and Tursi.
He couldn't wait to open Tang Xueyun's message in the bottle.
After listening to Tang Xueyun's message, he took out his laptop and played the video that his three family members had made for him and Zhou Qi.
They sat in the attic watching the video, watching every single image left by Tang Sheng and the others.
"Great, the magic tent is really useful!" After watching the video, Tang Yu'an's eyes were red, but there was a smile on his face.
Zhou Qi patted his head soothingly and continued, "Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang have both awakened their special abilities. I wonder if they can cultivate them?"
"Then let's send some more crystals back!"
Although he gave Hei Tuan Tuan a box of crystals before sending the magic tent back, that was to maintain the operation of the magic tent. If it was to be used for cultivation, he would naturally have to give it extra.
"From Uncle Tang's description, it might be a mysterious ability like the one the proprietress of the Meiyu Pavilion has."
Tang Yu'an touched his chin. If that's the case, then he might not be able to cultivate even with crystals...
"Oh right! Don't we still have the ingredients for the physique eggs? We can make them for Mom, Dad, and Xinxin to strengthen their physiques!"
"We're out of Spirit Gathering Grass. We need to ask Teacher Gu to buy some more."
"Yeah, okay."
Tang Yu'an nodded and immediately made a video call to Gu Qianli. After he answered the call, he placed an order for him.
"Ten spirit gathering herbs? Sure." Gu Qianli said.
Last time, Tang Yu'an and his team used a mini space capsule to expand the capacity of the drift bottle. Now the drift bottle has 10L of space, which is more than enough to hold ten spirit gathering grasses.
In addition to expanding the capacity of the drift bottle, they also gave him cakes and two star chain fruits.
"Thank you for the Star Chain Fruit seeds you gave me. I'll give you these ten medium-grade Spirit Gathering Grasses." Gu Qianli suddenly said.
Tang Yu'an was startled and quickly waved his hand, saying, "This won't do..."
Gu Qianli raised his hand to stop him and said, "Ten medium-grade spirit gathering herbs are far less valuable than these seeds. Just accept them."
If his abilities were not so limited, he would certainly have provided more.
Zhou Qi thought for a moment and asked, "Teacher Gu, besides the fact that the Star Chain Fruit's roots can enrich the soil with nutrients, does it have any other special effects?"
Gu Qianli was stunned, "Don't you know?"
Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi both shook their heads.
"One of the Star Chain Fruit seeds you gave me germinated and developed intelligence." Gu Qianli said happily.
"This is the first time I've seen this kind of spiritual plant. It can absorb resentful energy from the environment and transform it into spiritual energy."
The ancient battlefield where Gu Qianli was located had thin spiritual energy, and the thick fog was filled with the resentful aura of resentful spirits, giving rise to many dangerous places.
So he needs to be extra careful when walking on the ancient battlefield.
However, the Star Chain Fruit seedlings he had just cultivated had already demonstrated the special ability to absorb resentful energy and transform it into spiritual energy.
This is absolutely shocking.
Relying on the spiritual energy generated by the Star Chain Fruit seedling, he can cultivate more Spirit Gathering Grass. This seedling is a priceless treasure to Gu Qianli.
"So that's how it is!" Tang Yu'an suddenly realized.
The star chain vines in the deserted city home are ordinary plants and have not developed any intelligence, so they do not have this characteristic of the star chain vines.
What's more, they don't know how to distinguish between resentful energy and spiritual energy.
It is truly a fruit produced by the gods!
"So if you need Spirit Gathering Grass in the future, just ask me. As long as I have it, I won't refuse." Gu Qianli said solemnly.
"How can this be possible?" Tang Yu'an waved his hand. "Being able to give the Star Chain Fruit Vine intelligence is Teacher Gu's ability. It has nothing to do with us."
"If you hadn't sent me the seeds, how would I have been able to cultivate the intelligence of the Star Chain Vine seedlings?"
Gu Qianli said, "Don't refuse anymore. Cultivators believe in cause and effect. If I don't return the favor I received, it will become a demon on my path to cultivation in the future."
Hearing him speak so seriously, Tang Yu'an had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Gu Qianli breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled, "Do you have any questions today? If not, I'll go prepare the Spirit Gathering Grass for you."
"No more, thank you for your hard work, teacher."
“It’s not hard.”
So they ended the conversation.
Because he had just used the accelerator and it would take three days to receive the Spirit Gathering Grass, Tang Yu'an shifted his attention.
He opened Turles's message in the bottle and took out a light computer and a mini stone cabinet from it.
Unexpectedly, Tours could actually understand what they said. This way, they could communicate using the light brain!
Probably because Tours didn't know how to operate it, in addition to the sounds, the optical brain also recorded their images.
The screen is very dark, and you can see a young man with long curly hair, and... a little fairy the size of a palm, with transparent thin wings behind it, and stardust falling while flying!
Tulsi actually has a little goblin!
In the video, Tours first expressed his gratitude to them, and then explained to them the history and function of the inscriptions. The inscriptions he carved casually were full of elegant and mysterious beauty.
Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi couldn't help but be attracted.
However, because the content was too long, they listened for a while and then decided to watch it later when they had the chance.
He already has an idea for the space bag that he had previously commissioned Tours to make, and is currently trying to make it. He may have results in a month or two.
Tang Yu'an was not in a hurry. In ancient times, it took several months to dye cloth. It would definitely take even longer to make such a great thing.
They opened the stone cabinet and looked at the new batch of equipment.
This time, in addition to sturdy armor and sharp spikes, there are also fast feathers.
The material of the feathers was traded from the orc plane. It can be shot out as a hidden weapon. Regardless of whether it hits the target or not, it will return to the owner's hands.
Maxson and his team engraved a speed inscription on each feather this time.
The feather, which already had a good speed, reached a new level again. Tang Yu'an just threw it out casually, and even Zhou Qi had difficulty dodging it.
If the power of wind is added, the speed will be even more terrifying, making it impossible to defend against.
Tang Yu'an was very satisfied and kept all the feathers. He gave the sturdy armor and sharp spikes to the patrol team that armed Old Li's home.
After handing the things to Old Li, they returned to the other dimension first.
The little red bird chirped heartbreakingly, as if it had been abandoned.
Wangcai and Yinbi were squatting outside the incubator, leaning on the window to look inside - the temperature in the incubator was too high and they didn't like it.
Tang Yu'an walked over and saw finger-sized spiders climbing up the roof of the incubator, then hanging down from above the little red bird with spider silk, and then...
It fell precisely into the little red bird's mouth.
The reason why the little red bird cried so loudly was not because it was abandoned, but because the spider's projection was not so accurate and occasionally went astray.
As soon as the spider ran away, it chirped anxiously.
But soon, another small spider fell from the roof, and it quickly opened its mouth and ate it.
Tang Yu'an: "..."
He looked at Wangcai and saw that its eyes had turned green, obviously controlling the spiders.
When it noticed Tang Yu'an's gaze, it looked at Tang Yu'an and wagged its tail excitedly at him.
Tang Yu'an could never have imagined that Wangcai actually had such ability!
He reached out and touched its head, praised it, and encouraged it to continue feeding the little red bird.
Finally, I don’t have to worry about the little red bird being hungry!
Seeing that Wangcai and Yinbi took good care of the little red bird, they stopped worrying for the time being and continued to check Turles's video.
Tours was probably very excited and talked for more than an hour before stopping and talking about the content of the transaction.
"We hope to obtain more magic crystals and food..."
Tang Yu'an naturally would not refuse. In the past three months, they had collected a lot of materials in the giant forest and stuffed them all into the stone cabinet.
The food was still the same as before. After seeing the environment that Tours was in, he put some paper and pen, as well as a few fire stones wrapped in cloth at room temperature.
After checking everything was correct, he stuffed the contents back into the bottle and placed some seeds inside.
Although the stone cabinet cannot hold living things, there is no such restriction for the message in the bottle. Turles and the others cannot completely stop eating plants, otherwise they will easily become malnourished.
After putting it away, he capped the bottle and threw it into the sea of dreams.
Because it takes time to make physical eggs, Tang Yu'an decided to send them back next time. This time, he sent a purple sleeping pillow and a flying feather to his parents first.
With the level 3 purple sleeping pillow, mom and dad’s safety can be guaranteed even if they want to go out!
The second purple sleeping pillow has just been upgraded to level 2.
To upgrade the shop to level 4, they need 3 pieces of level 3 magical furniture, so they have to continue collecting materials.
"Wait until the seven-day sale is refreshed and see." Zhou Qi said.
"Um!"
-
Three days later, on the edge of the deserted city.
The team of psychics from Qingmu Fort finally arrived at the deserted city.
In addition to Hongli and her guards, the local forces of Jufeng Mountain, namely Li Li and his team, also followed them this time.
"We need to find a suitable base to station first." Li Feng said.
Although Jufeng Mountain was very close to the deserted city, it still took them two or three days to get here with a large group of people.
Running back and forth would definitely not work, so we had to find a place to stay in the deserted city.
Hongli had no objection, but she did not move. In comparison, Li Li, her mortal enemy, was the direct descendant of the Li family, so he would naturally rush to do this kind of work.
Therefore, hundreds of people with special abilities were dispatched to search for a suitable place to stay in the deserted city.
Most of these psychics have hunted in the deserted city and are quite familiar with the environment here. This time, with a large army following them, they are much bolder.
Soon, they arrived near the deserted city home.
The patrol team from the home discovered these people first and were planning to tie them up as before, but they soon discovered something was wrong.
There are too many of these people!
The patrol team ambushed in the dark and found that there were at least dozens or hundreds of them, so they quickly retreated and reported the matter to Old Li.
"These people came to the deserted city?" Old Li looked at the patrol team's report with a serious expression.
Xiaocao and Lan Lin, who sold salt at Jufeng Grocery Store, naturally noticed the movement of the guards in Jufeng Town, so they mentioned it in the store channel two days ago.
However, they did not find out where this team was going.
I didn't expect to end up in a deserted city...
"They've discovered the walls of their home!" New information came from the optical brain again. "Some have fled, while others have gathered nearby, probably preparing to come over."
"Mr. Li, what should we do now?"
Although the Huangcheng Home absorbed a group of new residents after the flood, there were only a dozen of them. Together with the previous residents, the total population of the home was less than sixty.
Only two-thirds of them have special abilities.
The team from Jufeng Mountain should have at least two or three hundred people, and all of them are people with special abilities. They can't beat them, right?
Old Li looked at the time. There were still more than five hours until six o'clock in the evening... Could the current fortifications alone withstand so many people with special abilities?
He also didn't expect that Jufeng Town would attack Huangcheng Home so quickly!
The flood has only been over for a few days... Even if Jufeng Town discovered the deserted city home, they shouldn't make a decision so quickly!
"Mr. Li, we have seen the Lord of Red Carp Mountain!"
The image appeared on the optical brain again, and the image showed Hong Li, Li Feng and others.
Old Li's expression became more and more solemn, because he had realized that this time it was not the Lord of Red Carp Mountain who brought people to encircle the deserted city home, but...
Someone is coming from Qingmu Fort!
Old Li said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, retreat and let them in first."
"Mr. Li?"
"Do as I say!"
Only Old Li knew that all the people in the Jufeng Mountain area had been included in the overnight stay list by Tang Yu'an and his team. As long as the wall was not destroyed, these people would be subject to the overnight stay rules even if they entered their homes.
Even if Hongli came in, he couldn't do anything to them.
The only variable was those people who were obviously from the fortress...
Old Li quickly contacted Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi. The current situation was no longer something he could handle alone.
At least we have to summon Yuanbao and the others back to keep the situation under control.
Soon, a reply popped up on the message board.
【Message Board (Shop Channel)】
[Liangzai Zhou]: It doesn’t matter. As long as anyone can enter our home, just treat them with courtesy.
Old Li frowned. If Xiao An had said this, he would have thought it was normal, but Xiao Qi...
Why did he say that?
Could it be that something else happened that he didn't know about?
Old Li looked at Zhou Qi's message, then at the video from the patrol team. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said to the patrol team, "You retreat to a safe area and leave them alone."
Outside the deserted city home.
Hongli and other psychics from Jufeng Mountain were actually quite surprised to see the walls of their deserted city home.
When did a new force appear in the deserted city?
Li Feng and the others looked at the towering wall in front of them and their faces darkened.
Could it be that someone has already gotten there first?
"We found the main entrance. It's over there!" The person who was investigating the situation quickly reported, "There's a sign hanging at the door!"
"What sign?" Li Feng asked immediately.
"I can't read..."
“…Let’s go and take a look!”
So, everyone followed the spy to the main gate of the deserted city home, and soon they saw the newly built cottage.
Deserted City Grocery Store.
When seeing these five words, Hongli's face showed a strange expression for a moment, but he quickly concealed it.
Li Feng looked at the sign and found it ridiculous. How could such a large grocery store be opened in such a sparsely populated place?
The wall they just walked past was at least several hundred meters long!
"Hongli, what's going on here?" Li Feng asked.
"I don't know." Hongli Bachelor said, "This is not my jurisdiction."
"Let's go in and take a look!" Li Feng said.
Because the door of the grocery store in the deserted city was closed, the spy went forward and knocked on the door.
"Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang!"
Hearing the knocks on the door, Lan Lin, who had rushed back from Jufeng Town immediately after receiving the news, couldn't help but say to Old Li, "I'll freeze the door."
Old Li was unsure, so he thought about it and nodded, "Okay."
So, Lan Lin directly threw out a stream of ice energy, freezing the outer door of the grocery store.
At this time, Xie Chaori also rushed over.
Seeing that the situation had not become more serious, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, I know them, let me go out and talk!"
"Not for now, wait a moment." Old Li was very patient.
Since Xiaoqi said not to worry and Xiaoan had no objection, he believed them.
Looking at his calm appearance, Xie Chaori couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Could it be that Huangcheng Homeland has some hidden cards that he doesn't know about?
At this moment, Lan Lin suddenly froze the door, which was obviously not a friendly signal to the team outside.
"A mere ice gate, you think you can stop us?" Gu Zhenfei took a step forward and threw a ray of flame towards the ice gate, but...
Before his flames could be released, he disappeared from the spot the next second.
"puff--"
Everyone was still wondering why Gu Zhenfei disappeared when they heard a strange sound. They turned around and saw that Gu Zhenfei had appeared ten meters away.
He covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Li Feng hurried over to check and found that he had not been attacked, but had been interrupted while using his supernatural power and had been attacked back...
He looked in surprise at the small house with walls on both sides.
And the next moment, three of the remaining people in Qingmu Castle disappeared from their original places and appeared beside them.
Next, people disappeared one after another, and then reappeared around them, and there were also many people who stayed where they were, Hongli was one of them.
She also looked confused, a little bewildered, and a little fearful.
What kind of ability is this...
Everything that happened outside was faithfully recorded by the light brain on the wall and transmitted to the people in the deserted city.
Lan Lin asked in surprise: "Old Li, what's going on?"
Xie Chaori also cast a concerned glance over there.
Old Li looked calm, as if he had expected this. In fact...
How would he know what happened!
Building 1, Room 901, balcony.
Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi looked at the images sent back by the computer, looked at each other, and then smiled at the same time.
Tang Yu'an's interface was fixed on the achievement title column, which displayed the new title he had obtained after completing the drift bottle transaction yesterday -
