Chapter 56 Prepare for a rainy day
Chapter 56 Prepare for a rainy day
Whizzing.
Poof, poof.
"Uh"
Before the guards' wild laughter died down, two sharp bone needles pierced their throats, bringing up two gorgeous flowers of blood, making them unable to laugh anymore.
The two guards had their eyes wide open with anger, their hands tightly covering the bloody holes in their throats, as if they hadn't reacted yet. From what source could the attack be able to instantly penetrate their body protective qi and cause these two Soul Saints to die on the spot?
But they could no longer understand this, as their bodies fell to the ground, symbolizing their complete departure from the world.
The sudden change left Xue Qinghe a little stunned.
He thought he was going to die today, but who knew he could be rescued?
Thinking of this, Xue Qinghe stood up, bowed to the people around him, and said loudly: "I wonder which hero can save me? Please show yourself!"
Hiss. Hiss.
Following a strange sound, two black shadows slowly crawled towards this side. Although Xue Qinghe felt a little strange when looking at the outlines of the two black shadows, he stood there and waited as he saw that they did not do anything dangerous.
When they came closer, Xue Qinghe was suddenly shocked - these were two soul beasts he had never seen before. Although the roars of these two beasts sounded like snakes, they did not have any characteristics of snakes. Their ferocious faces were enough to achieve the effect of Ye Zhi'er Ti, and people would never forget them after seeing them once.
This monster was four meters tall and two to three meters long horizontally, with a pair of very sharp sickles on its body. They were so sharp that Xue Qinghe felt that he didn't even need to chop him with them, and could just create a gust of wind to cut the monster into pieces.
Xue Qinghe was so shocked that he actually forgot to run away, or perhaps these two clumsy-looking monsters were actually very fast and there was no way he could escape from them.
Just as he was thinking about what the two monsters were going to do to him, he heard a burst of angry curses from a girl behind the monster:
"You two idiots, why are you blocking the way so tightly? Get down from here!"
Hearing this, the two monsters showed a trace of grievance on their faces, but they didn't say much. They just followed the girl's instructions and crawled away.
After driving away the two monsters, the girl's figure was revealed:
"Oh, I guess you are the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire. I have heard of you for a long time."
The girl was of course Leng Xiyao. She had originally prepared for a fierce battle and then rescue Xue Qinghe in the chaos, but she did not expect Qian Renxue to make such a fatal mistake, allowing her to achieve her goal of saving people without alerting anyone.
"Are you the mayor of Xingdou Town?" Xue Qinghe was shocked when he saw Leng Xiyao's face clearly.
As an official of Tiandou and the mayor of Xingdou Town, Leng Xiyao naturally caught his eye, but it was also because of this that the strength she displayed shocked him.
In his impression, the opponent should only have a soul beast with a strength of about 30,000 years. But now, the monster tamed by the opponent actually killed two high-level soul saints silently. Even a Titled Douluo couldn't do it so easily, right?
"I'm glad to know that. Do you know how much damage your previous words have caused me?" Leng Xiyao rolled her eyes and said unhappily.
Hearing this, Xue Qinghe smiled bitterly and said, "I have no choice but to do this. My life is being held hostage by someone. If I don't make some noise, I will really die without a burial place."
Xue Qinghe was very humble. Regardless of the fact that the other party had saved his life, even if he was considering the other party's strength, he should have been more humble at this time.
"So, shouldn't you compensate me for the loss you caused me?" Leng Xiyao looked unhappy. She certainly understood Xue Qinghe's true intention, but...
"Can you give me a few days' grace? When I return to the palace, I will definitely promote you to a higher position." Facing the girl in front of him, Xue Qinghe did not dare to be vague and said all the nice things he could.
"Let you go back to the palace? I'm afraid that's not possible." Leng Xiyao shook her head and bluntly rejected Xue Qinghe's proposal.
Xue Qinghe's heart suddenly sank. He had just escaped from the dragon's den and now he was in the tiger's den?
Leng Xiyao pointed in the direction where Xue Qinghe left, feeling rather disappointed:
"You don't think they will ever know that I killed these two Soul Saints, do you? By that time, do you think you can still return to the palace alive?"
Xue Qinghe was not a stupid man, he was just a little frightened now. After hearing what the other party said, he immediately realized how difficult his current situation was.
The ones who want to kill him are Spirit Hall, the most powerful force in the world. If that's the case, there is absolutely no way they will let him return to the palace.
What's the point of running back secretly? God knows how many spies they have planted in the palace. I'm afraid some important officials have been replaced like him!
For a moment, Xue Qinghe felt extremely sad. In this huge Tiandou Empire, it seemed that there was no one he could trust except his own father.
There's none?
Xue Qinghe slowly raised his head and looked at Leng Xiyao, the benefactor who saved his life, and suddenly made a decision in his heart.
"Since you saved me, you must have a way to help me, but I don't know what your purpose is."
Seeing Xue Qinghe's understanding, Leng Xiyao nodded in satisfaction and said bluntly: "It's fun to talk to smart people. What I want is very simple, that is, to have a prominent identity in the human world so that I won't be excluded for raising something that you think is a monster."
"In addition, I also need you to hand over the border cities to me after you return to the empire, and let Xingdou Town become my autonomous territory. And after you take over, you can no longer interfere in the affairs of the Xingdou Great Forest. Anyone who wants to come to the Xingdou Great Forest needs my consent."
"If you agree, then we can stand on a united front until the Spirit Hall changes hands, cedes territory and pays compensation, or collapses completely."
Leng Xiyao's conditions were well thought out. She did not have too many intentions to plunder the human world, but in order to prevent humans from entering the Xingdou Great Forest and causing her some losses in the future, it was obviously necessary to control the border of Tiandou.
In her conception, the entire Xingdou Great Forest will become the territory of the Zerg, and the original border of Tiandou will become a place for trade, directly trading soul beasts raised or hunted by the Zerg.
Leng Xiyao knew very well that if the Zerg took control of the empire, she would not gain more territory and resources, but would only have a reason for the whole world to attack her.
Although it is too early to talk about this now, it is still necessary to prepare for a rainy day.
