The daily live broadcast of the cute pets of the empire

Jiang Ke and Zevia could pick forty spiritual grasses together, and the attendant next to him felt blood dripping from his heart.

Jiang Ke... Well, actually, I also feel that it is not good to take so many spiritual herbs at once, but there are indeed many things he needs here. The opportunity is rare, and he doesn't want to give up just like this. Before leaving, I gave the Taling people a few more consonance fruits as compensation.

Seeing that the two people on the opposite side had almost finished picking, the attendant took a deep breath and forced what he thought to be the gentlest smile: "Okay, it's almost night, why don't we go and see the spiritual fruit inside, in the forbidden area The level of the spiritual fruit is not high, and it is not included in the share of the spiritual grass, and they can be taken away at will."

The young man who had been stingy before suddenly said such generous words, Jiang Ke gave him a strange look.Even if the level of the spirit fruit itself is not high, it is not an ordinary fruit after all, so how could it be taken away casually.

Probably seeing Jiang Ke's doubts, the attendant smiled awkwardly: "You don't have to worry, the young patriarch has specially ordered you before, except for the spirit grass and medicine, the spirit fruit inside can be picked at will. Unlimited quantity."

The forbidden area of ​​the Tower Spirit Tribe has a large space, and the overall structure is in a ring structure. The outermost layer is the place where Jiang Ke stayed just now. It is mainly planted with various spiritual herbs, and the place closer to the inner layer is a large area. The woods, that is, the place where the attendant just said that the spiritual fruit is planted.

Unlike the various luminous stones used as lighting on the outer layer, the interior of the forest is dimly lit, and even faintly carries a very strange fragrance.

Like the fragrance of flowers, but also like the aroma of some kind of fruit, Jiang Ke stopped walking and suddenly felt a slight dizziness.

[Warning, there is an unknown gas approaching nearby, please be vigilant to the host, and don't inhale too much. 】

Jiang Ke frowned, unknown gas, there is indeed a problem here.

"Don't worry, it's just an ordinary hypnotic gas." It was Zevia's voice, and he couldn't see anything in the dark woods. Jiang Ke felt that the other party seemed to gently grasp his wrist, pulling him forward step by step, " Cover your mouth and nose and try not to breathe."

Near the forbidden exit.

In front of the heavy iron gate, the attendants looked around vigilantly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they found that no one followed.

In fact, at the very beginning, he originally planned to lure the two of them into the prepared trap, but the other party just looked down for the spirit grass and ignored his proposal. He had no choice but to bring the two of them into the Forbidden inner layer.

Sleeping fruit, an ordinary spiritual fruit without grades, has no special use in itself, and the effect is weak. The only function is to calm the nerves, but once it is mixed with other sleeping gases, it will exert an unimaginable hypnotic effect.

To be honest, although this method has been known before, it is the first time that it is actually used in reality. I only hope that it can be delayed for a while.

The attendant wiped the sweat from his head, took out the key from his pocket, and was about to open the iron gate in the forbidden area, when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

"Where are you going?"

Being pointed at the back of the head by the gun, the attendant's knees softened and he almost knelt on the ground. He couldn't figure out why the two of them woke up so quickly since he hadn't made any mistakes in the whole process.

"Come on, tell me, what are you trying to do by trapping us here?" Jiang Ke asked, holding the pulse gun firmly in his hand.

...

In the room, it was already very late, Wu Ning leaned on the chair and couldn't help yawning.

Qi Chen came over with a glass of water: "If you're sleepy, go to bed first, I'll watch over here, everything will be fine."

Wu Ning shook his head. Although he trusted Qi Chen, his father hadn't fully woken up yet, and he didn't know if there would be any other problems later. How could he go back to sleep with peace of mind at this time.

"I'm fine." Wu Ning took the water glass, but didn't drink it, but held it lightly in his hand, "At most, we can get through tonight, and it will be fine when my father wakes up tomorrow."

Qi Chen stared at the water glass in Wu Ning's hand without saying a word.

"By the way," Wu Ning suddenly thought of something, "What about the Great Elder, it's been so long since we came back, why haven't we seen him come over?"

The Great Elder has a special status in the clan, and he has the ability to predict and detoxify. It stands to reason that he should be here at this time no matter what.

"The great elder is not in good health, and he hasn't come out for a long time." Qi Chen said.

Wu Ning heard something was wrong, and quickly raised his head: "I'm not in good health, when did it happen, why has no one told me?"

"Before we went to the Death Desert, the Great Elder was worried that his problem would affect the stability of the clan, so he only told a few people around him."

Still not right.

Wu Ning recalled the prophecy that Qi Chen had brought out before. Although the Great Elder has the ability to predict the future, using this ability requires a lot of energy and special abilities.

If the Great Elder can't even show up in front of people now, how can he still have the energy to make a complete and clear prophecy.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong, so Wu Ning stood up directly: "No, I'm going to see the Great Elder."

It's a pity that before Wu Ning pushed open the door, he felt someone covering his mouth and nose from behind, severe dizziness hit, Wu Ning struggled a bit, and finally lost consciousness completely.

The whole room was silent.

Qi Chen took a deep breath, shook his hands and put Wu Ning aside, then looked at the patriarch of the Tower Spirit clan who was still unconscious on the hospital bed.

There was only one last step left, after which he only needed to trigger the toxin in the patriarch's body, and use this as an excuse to get the heart of the sacred tree in the forbidden area.

The person in charge of guarding the forbidden area is Zhu Nan's father. Although he has a stubborn personality, he has always attached great importance to the safety of the clan. As long as he can convince the other clan leader that the current situation really requires the use of the tree heart, the other party has a great chance to choose agree.

Qi Chen collected himself, walked to the front of the hospital bed a few steps, and was about to pour the potion in his hand into Wu Rong's mouth, when he suddenly felt the scene in front of him flicker, and when he came back to his senses, he had already been tied up. above the seat.

The house was brightly lit, Zhu Nan, the two outsiders, and Wu Ning supported the awakened patriarch Wu Rong.

Qi Chen stared, unable to realize what happened just now for a long time.

Didn't he already make Wu Ning dizzy, those two people were also trapped in the forbidden area by his design, and the patriarch, he had already drunk the potion for the other party just now, why the other party can still sit there properly.

"It's sleeping fruit," probably because Qi Chen's puzzled expression was too obvious, Jiang Ke kindly explained to him, "Remove the pulp, take the seeds and peel and burn them in a special way, it will have a certain hallucinogenic effect .”

Of course, Jiang Ke also used a little potion exchanged in the system mall by the way to strengthen the hallucinogenic effect of sleeping fruit, but there is no need to say this.

"Why, do you have any resentment towards me, or do you have other reasons?" Even after seeing the other party's actions just now, the patriarch Wu Rong still couldn't believe it.

Qi Chen's parents passed away early, and it can be said that he watched Qi Chen grow up. Wu Rong really couldn't figure out why the other party would do such a thing.

Qi Chen lowered his head and refused to speak.

"It should be for his sister. His sister was taken away by the Zerg people before. He probably did all this just to save his sister's life." Jiang Ke replied instead of him.

Facing Qi Chen's shocked gaze, Jiang Ke spread out his hands: "It's nothing, I thought something was wrong with you before, so I put surveillance equipment on you in advance."

"A Jin was taken away by the Zerg people?" The patriarch Wu Rong was really surprised this time, and almost stood up directly, "What's going on?"

Unaware that Qi Chen's younger sister had been taken away, even Wu Ning and Zhu Nan couldn't help but looked over in surprise.

"Yes, it was last month. Ah Jin went on a trip and didn't contact me for several days. I was worried that something might happen to her outside, so I went to the sub-Zerg town alone, but I received that she had been arrested. News of the capture."

Now that the matter has been completely exposed, there is no need to continue to hide it, Qi Chen gritted his teeth, and finally said: "I... don't know who that person is, I can only contact the other party through the communicator. At first, I just asked me to lead Wu Ning outside, so I took him to the desert of death under the pretext of looking for the spirit fruit. Later, that person said he wanted the strange flame grass in the forbidden area, so I simply invited him in the name of the great elder. Jiang Ke and the others came to the clan to take the opportunity to get the Strange Flame Grass."

Of course, Qi Chen didn't figure it out until later, whether it was to lure Wu Ning outside, or to get the so-called Strange Flame Grass, it should be just a random request made by that person in order to test whether he would be obedient. , There should be only one thing that the other party really wants from the beginning to the end, which is the heart of the sacred tree in the forbidden area.

The patriarch Wu Rong frowned, and also felt very puzzled: "What does he want the heart of the sacred tree? As far as I know, apart from detoxification, the heart of the sacred tree should not have other functions."

Even its detoxification function is not completely irreplaceable. Wu Rong really can't figure out why the other party has to go around such a big circle back and forth for such a thing that is more symbolic than practical, and even wastes it. spent so much time.

"I don't know," Qi Chen shook his head, "I didn't know until today that that person actually wants the heart of the sacred tree in the forbidden area of ​​the clan."

"So what to do now, Ah Jin should still be in their hands." It is not clear what the heart of the sacred tree is, but Zhu Nan is more concerned about another matter.

Thinking of his younger sister, Qi Chen's complexion suddenly turned gray, and he couldn't help turning his eyes to the few people opposite him for help.

"Saving people is the most important thing," Jiang Ke on the side suddenly said, "Since the heart of the sacred tree is not particularly important to you, why don't you take it out and find a way to save his sister first."
