"Are you looking for me?"
A calm voice came from the corner, attracting the attention of everyone present.
Qianye Lan also followed the voice, and found that this was her good brother Qianye Wu whom she had been looking for for a long time. He looked dirty, with mud and dust on his body, which was an insult to the crown prince's status.
Qianye Lan looked at him with displeasure, and her tone was full of contempt and mockery: "His Royal Highness, why don't you hide?"
Qianyewu raised his head and looked back, as if looking up at a big mountain. He didn't bother with the irony in the other party's words, and said calmly, "Brother 666, do you want to be the crown prince?"
Qianye Lan: "Why, you want to give up your seat to me directly? It's still smart."
Qianyewu shook his head: "Even if I want to, I can't."
Qianye Lan's tone became dangerous: "What do you mean?"
Qianyewu stretched out his slender arm and waved it in the air. At this time, there was no wind on the top of the king tree, but all the leaves of the king tree seemed to be blown by the breeze, and made a "rustling" sound at the same time.
Qianye Lan's eyes narrowed slightly, as if there was some secret about the identity of the crown prince that he didn't know.
Qianyewu said: "This is Wang Shu's recognition of me. Even if you kill me now, you can't directly get Wang Shu's recognition."
Qianye Lan waved her hand to signal her subordinates to surround Qianye Wu, and then said leisurely: "Then tell me, if you satisfy me, I can let them go."
He pointed to Qianye Wu's attendant who was lying unconscious and Yi Na who had been tied up.
When Yi Na saw Qianyewu stand up, she couldn't help worrying in her eyes. She shook her head slightly at Qianyewu, signaling him not to agree to such a dangerous deal.
Qianye Wu glanced at Ina, but didn't speak, he turned to look at Qianye Lan: "This starts with Wang Shu's secret..."
Seeing that Qianyewu temporarily stabilized the situation, Xiao Zhi didn't pay attention to this side any more, he quickly turned around and headed towards the direction Qianyewu pointed out before.
ยท
Since Qianye Lan concentrated most of her strength on the square in front of the hall, and there were only a few patrolling soldiers inside the palace, Xiao Zhi easily bypassed their sight and sneaked inside.
Xiao Zhi advanced through the complicated corridors of the palace, and finally approached the room Qianye Wu mentioned.
There was no trace of people around, it seemed that there was no one guarding the place, but Xiao Zhi's footsteps stopped.
Chop Cub's intuition told him that something was wrong here.
There seemed to be some dangerous breath stagnant in the air, which made him inexplicably feel a needle-like sense of crisis, as if something was dormant, waiting for him to throw himself into a trap.
Perhaps it was because Xiao Zhi stopped for too long, and the thing dormant in the dark felt impatient, and a rustling sound rang out above his head.
Xiao Zhi took a big step back suddenly, then raised his head to look up.
On the ceiling not far above his head, a piece of dark filaments entangled, occupying a large area, he could clearly see that these hair-like filaments were constantly wriggling, towards his direction near.
A round skull slowly formed from the black filaments, followed by neck, shoulders, thin arms, and a waterfall of long black hair. But this long hair is not an ordinary hair texture, but some kind of black vines.
That figure was hanging upside down from the ceiling, with its back facing Xiao Zhi, it looked weird and eerie, almost like a female ghost.
Xiao Zhi raised his staff and prepared with concentration, a fireball was about to strike.
The head of the "female ghost" suddenly turned around, turned all the way to the back, and met Xiao Zhi's gaze directly.
Xiao Zhi's hand trembled, and the fireball went out with a puff.
It wasn't that the "female ghost" launched an attack on him, but the face that turned around was that of an old man of the Wood Spirit clan, with wrinkles all over his face, and his complexion was dark like a hardworking old farmer.
Xiao Zhi: "..."
What's the matter with being a little disappointed...
The old man was expecting Xiao Zhi's startled expression, but he saw the disappointed expression on Xiao Zhi's face.
grandfather:"???"
You are so disappointed!
The grandpa wasn't discouraged when the deterrent plan failed, he raised his hand, and the hair-like slender vines on the ceiling rushed towards Xiao Zhi.
This time Xiao Zhi's hands stopped shaking, and a fireball was thrown over smoothly.
The blazing flames hit the slender vines, and the fireball instantly devoured the attacking vines.
Plants were originally afraid of fire, and this has not changed in the world of ZERO. Even if Xiao Zhi's level is still very low, the damage bonus of fire to plants is still the same.
The burning fire made Xiao Zhi feel happy, and he couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth.
The old man whose vines were burned seemed to be enraged, his hands kept moving, and more vines squeezed out from the cracks in the wall, occupying the entire corridor, forming a tendency to encircle Xiao Zhi.
In the next instant, countless vines attacked Xiao Zhi from all directions, as if they wanted to poke him into a sieve.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhi raised his hand, this time it was a casting action completely different from the fireball technique.
After the action was over, there was no flame on the staff, and it looked calm, as if the spell had failed to release.
But the vines that rushed towards Xiao Zhi suddenly stopped at the same time.
Then, dots of flames ignited from the walls they were attached to. The color of the flames was much darker than that of the fireball technique, but it was not inferior to the power of the fireball technique.
Under the cover of densely packed black vines, a patch of flame thorns came in response to Xiao Zhi's call.
The burning thorns entangled the dense black vines in the corridor, and they continued to burn, burning them dry and crisp, and falling down one after another.
Even the wood elves on the ceiling were not spared by the flames.
Flaming thorns wound towards him, and the fiery flames ignited the hair-like black vines on his head, quickly changing him from a straight black old man to a bald old man.
Grandpa: "..."
Seventh brother's haircut technique, even after using it, he was speechless.
The old man of the Wood Spirit Tribe lost all his vines and fell directly from the ceiling, only then did Xiao Zhi realize that he was a thin old man.
In line with the principle of sending warmth to the end, Xiao Zhi raised his staff again, ready to give him another fireball technique.
The old man looked around and found himself surrounded by flames and thorns. The young man in front of him was raising his staff with a smile on his face. It seemed that the god of death was saying to him, "Guest officer, come and play!" ~".
With a hard heart, he rushed towards Xiao Zhi.
Then bent his knees, crawled and slid all the way to Xiao Zhi's feet, without the slightest hesitation.
"..." The fireball in Xiao Zhi's hand went out with a puff.
Then, the old man stretched out his hand and hugged Xiao Zhi's calf, and said in an affectionate tone as if the villagers met the inspection leader: "My lord! It is my honor to serve you!"
In order to prevent Xiao Zhi from being unconvinced, he added: "I have long felt that this guy Qianye Lan is not good for Qianye Country if he continues like this. Fortunately, you saved me from the abyss!"
This ability to adapt to the wind, you are really a talent...
The old man is still performing hard, his eyes and tone are all in place: "My lord, please accept my allegiance!"
Xiao Zhi was very moved and gave him a set of physical stun technique.
Time is urgent now, and he doesn't have time to tell whether this guy is really cowardly, or if he wants to play a new routine with him, so let's just let him down first.
Dragging the unconscious old man along, Xiao Zhi entered Qianye Wu's room, and then found a cabinet to hide him in.
Xiao Zhi glanced around the room, followed Qianye Wu's instructions to find his bed, he lifted the sheet, and tried to search for the switch of the dark room under the bed.
Unexpectedly, what appeared in front of Xiao Zhi was a tightly stuffed bottom of the bed, Qianye Wu didn't know how many things he piled up under the bed, there was a mess of everything inside.
Xiao Zhi casually pulled out something that looked like a book: ""Underwater Photo of the Hundred Male Gods of the Xiyue Clan"...?"
The cover, the font, all revealed an unscrupulous atmosphere.
He pulled out a few more books, "The Passion of the Orc Blacksmith", "The Private Life of Bishop Blaise", "Shocked! The Lord of Hesse actually did such a thing! "...
The collection of the 600-year-old car god is so terrifying.
Xiao Zhi: "..."
Still a little curious...
No no no no no, now is not the time to be curious.
Xiao Zhi pushed away this pile of unsuitable sundries, and finally saw the entrance to the basement.
Entering the basement, it was just a small room with nothing but a white flower in the middle covered by a transparent cover.
The flowers exude a lustrous shimmer, and the petals are layered on top of each other, looking at a peaceful and quiet beauty taking a nap under the moon.
It seems that this is what Qianyewu said, the white flower that can send a message to King Qianye.
Xiao Zhi carefully opened the cover of the white flower, and tore off a petal according to what Qianye Wu said.
A system prompt appears: "You have completed the mission 'Messaging Chiba King'"
Accompanied by a lot of experience, Xiao Zhi's level has risen to 85.
Before Xiao Zhi could relax, Hua Hua, who was originally quiet, suddenly let out a heart-piercing cry:
"ah---------"
The voice was rough and majestic, with a huge voice, like ten thousand groundhogs howling at Xiao Zhi at close range, it made him lose his mind.
Could it be that the so-called summoning to King Qianye was done by roaring
No, according to Qianyewu, King Qianye should be in the area bordering Qianye Kingdom and Changyue Desert at this moment, no matter how loud this flower is, it is impossible for her voice to be transmitted there.
Although the door of the secret room was closed, the cry should not attract Qianye Lan's attention, but how would he open the door and leave if the flower kept barking like this
Xiao Zhi stretched out his hand and gently stroked the branches of the white flower, trying to calm it down.
"ah-"
"ah--"
"ah---"
But the flower growled more and more vigorously, just like meeting a stinky hooligan.
Xiao Zhi: "..."
He's not, he's not, don't talk nonsense.
In desperation, Xiao Zhi could only withdraw his hands. When he was at a loss what to do, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the transparent cover next to him. At this moment, he was blessed to understand in his heart what this cover was for.
Xiao Zhi picked up the cover with the fastest speed in his life, and neatly covered it on top of Bai Hua's head,
The world instantly quieted down, the harsh background sound was lost, and the white flower was as gentle and peaceful as a beauty under the moon.
Only Xiao Zhi knew that everything was a scam.
The author has something to say: Bai Hua: Ahhh, let go of me stinky rascal!
Asen: Let go of it, if you have the ability, come at me.
Xiao Zhi: ...
