mysterious forerunner

Chapter 313 Underwater Fire Grass
Shi Luo didn't expect to meet Bai Qian in Xihai Province.

She was very helpless. I always avoid you two, but why do I have to be bumped into every time? It feels like... I'm stealing your men?
Shi Luo came from a white-collar background. He had good academic performance and good looks since childhood, and was highly sought after.

But in front of Ye Yousheng and Bai Qian, he always felt a little unconfident.

And in this case...you really can't blame her.

Among the three of them, she became the little doormat.

She was deceived by Guo Inquiry and came to Xihai Province - Guo Inquiry actually knew the reason for coming to Xihai Province. Her president was pretending to be deceived, but she knew the reason for coming to Xihai Province.

It's just that girls are thin-skinned, so you have to give him an excuse.

Only Xiao Tao, a fool, was really fooled.

After arriving here, I communicated with local folk professionals and met Tao Quanjie, a fourth-level man. He immediately fell in love at first sight, but Shi Luoqi took it for granted and was indifferent.

Schlow has rich experience in dealing with such suitors.

But he had little weight, and his opinions were ignored.

Normally Tao Quanjie should give up automatically.

Water pumps were constantly being mobilized from all over the city to provide support, and by the evening, hundreds of water pumps were already in place.

The professional engineering staff quickly determined the construction plan. Later, the upstream water channel was blocked, and several drainage channels were dug with excavators. High-power pumps pumped the pool water out and poured it into the drainage channels, and then flowed back into the river outside.

Zhang Qing made an OK gesture: "Leave it to us here."

Zhang Qingxiang asked unceremoniously: "This is not a mysterious scene, why can it breed such a large group of weird things?"

"Fan Bureau," Zhang Qingxiang said, "organize manpower immediately to empty these pools."

Before Shi Luo could answer, Director Ji suddenly felt a chill on his back and turned around in confusion, but there was nothing unusual.

Shi Luo also shook his head: "I wasn't interested either."

Others also didn't understand.

Fan Yunjie looked at the sky and found Zhang Qingxiang: "Bureau Zhang, we have to go back to duty first."

After Fan Yunjie thought about it carefully, he felt that Director Zhang was right: "If we don't find out clearly, it will be difficult to feel at ease.

Shi Luo was really tempted by this invitation.

In the next film, which one is more important, the heroine or the director? Undoubtedly the former.

Director Ji sighed with regret and gave up on Shi Luo.

But on the surface, Shi Luo remained reserved.

Bai Qian's faint voice sounded: "Director Ji, you haven't even finished your next play yet."

She said calmly: "Yuan City is my hometown, and I have no plans to leave for the time being."

"Why is there an energy barrier in that special space down there?"

Tao Quanjie had a sullen face and said firmly: "Is this still necessary? All the water monsters have been killed by you using your magical powers."

This kind of person usually has pretty good conditions, but Shi Luo will "inadvertently" reveal his more outstanding side, and more than 70% of the suitors will give up.

Who knows when a new water monster will be born here. "

Then it continued to grow and reproduced this group.

Director Ji scratched his head and scratched his head, impatient, and finally seized the opportunity and rushed to Shi Luo: "Madam, I think your temperament is very suitable for an important role in my next play. Do you want to become a big star? "

Tao Quanjie was speechless and couldn't answer a single question.

Fan Yunjie was surprised: "What?"

Zhang Qingxiang didn't want to pay attention to these messy things anymore, and there were still serious things to do.

For example, this time, after entering the machine processing factory, Shi Luo showed his fifth-level strength.

Tao Quanjie is still objecting: "This is a waste of people and money. The original water monster was probably left in the pool from the mysterious scene.

Captain Qiu called back, and the entire Xihai Bureau immediately mobilized.

A few hours later, a large number of construction teams entered the machine processing plant.

"Huh?" Director Ji was very confused. The material we have collected and accumulated now is for the next film. The project has already been approved. How can it be that the character has not been written yet?
Bai Qian gave him a "know it yourself" look.

If he became a big star, wouldn't he be on equal footing with Bai Qian?
No, my professional level is higher and I can crush Queen Bai.

"You heard me right, I'm talking about emptying these pools."

The power department temporarily pulled in a special line to provide power to these water pumps.

"Where is the source of the rich mysterious energy here?"

It's a pity that the layout of "two beauties competing for beauty" that I just designed in my mind cannot be realized.

When Tao Quanjie spoke, Fan Yunjie had a glimmer of hope in his heart, but it was instantly extinguished by Shi Luo's words.

But this guy doesn't seem to be among the "70%". When underwater, he even showed a sixth-level strength. Why is he still talking nonsense in front of Zhang Qingxiang?
Shi Luo was secretly anxious, don't let Zhang Qingxiang misunderstand.

Fan Yunjie ordered Captain Qiu: "Call back and dispatch people to block the ditches and use high-power pumps to drain all the pools."

Weirdness needs to rely on mysterious scenes to exist, and this is only our understanding of mystery. It is very possible that this perception is inaccurate, and there are some weird things that can exist independently..."

Several pools have been drained, and only the one with the water monster's aura is left. Water is still pouring out of the cracks below.

After the people from the Xihai Bureau withdrew, Shi Luo looked at the scene and found that apart from the construction workers, the number of professionals was greatly insufficient.

In total, there are six people including Zhang Qingxiang, Tian Mingkun, Peng Shuangjie, Ji Dao, Bai Qian, and himself.

Moreover, everyone is either high-level or Ji Dao Bai Qian, so they are not suitable for patrolling at night.

Shi Luo asked a middle-aged man next to him: "Can you bring in a group of civilian professionals?"

The man she asked about was named Wang Lie, and he was a very prestigious person among the folk professionals in Xihai Province.

The folk professionals in Xihai Province also wanted to establish a guild, so they recommended Wang Lie and another man named "Dai Tongli" to preside over it.

It was Wang Lie who came into contact with the original city guild.

Wang Lie was very satisfied when he heard Shi Luo said that he had no intention of staying in Xihai Province.

During this half day, he saw something unusual between Shi Luo and Zhang Jue again - and he became even happier.

It would be great if a non-governmental organization could have the backing of the government.

As for Bureau Zhang, although he was only the director of the municipal bureau, his strength was seen by everyone, and he could be said to "overwhelm the world".

Director Fan Yunjie was respectful and obedient to Zhang Qingxiang. Wang Lie inquired again and found out that Zhang Qingxiang was the only son of Zhang Ruiqian, the superior director of the Northwest Bureau of the Xihai Bureau!
This backing is simply not ideal!

So as soon as Shi Luo opened his mouth, Wang Lie immediately called and said, "No problem."

Before dark, more than a hundred private workers rushed to the machine processing factory. Shi Luo immediately divided them into ten teams, each responsible for an area.

From beginning to end, Tao Quanjie felt that it was all meaningless.

When Shi Luo called the civilian professionals from Xihai Province, Tao Quanjie was even more angry: "I won't accompany you to flatter him!"

Then Tao Quanjie walked away.

Wang Lie was very embarrassed. He could see that Tao Quanjie was jealous of Zhang Qingxiang, but he couldn't say it directly.

Peng Shuangjie, a clever little guy, had noticed it a long time ago. As soon as Tao Quanjie walked away, he laughed strangely, grabbed Tian Mingkun and said: "The toad wants to eat..."

Before he could finish speaking, a gust of fragrant wind drifted past him. Peng Shuangjie saw Queen Bai's eyes shining dimly in the darkness, and he immediately said "uh" and stopped daring to say anything.

After the day, I made a cup of coffee and gave it to Zhang Qingxiang: "Refresh yourself."

Bai Qian's physical fitness has greatly improved since she became a professional.

This time she came to Xihai Province without any "entourage". And I always carry a big mountaineering bag on my back.

That thing is like a treasure bag, it seems to have everything in it.

Just now, she took out a small box from inside, opened it, and magically created a set of hand-brewed coffee equipment!

There are even stoves and gas tanks.

The rich aroma of coffee hit his nostrils, and Zhang Qingxiang perked up, smiled and said "thank you", took it and took a sip.

There was a voice next to him: "Do you have any more? Give me a drink too."

When Bai Qian took a look, all the fine hairs on the back of her neck started to float: Shi Luo, have you grown up? Dare you call me? !
Shi Luonai mustered up her courage - this was the first time she took the initiative to talk to Zhang Qingxiang since they met in Xihai Province.

A large part of the reason is that she now has more than a hundred "underlings", while Bai Qian is alone.

Bai Qian curled her lips and pointed at the equipment: "There, if you want to drink it, go get it yourself."

Shi Luo didn’t want to go there.

I'm gone and only you and Zhang Qingxiang are left. Who knows what you whispered?

At this time, the advantage of having more subordinates becomes apparent. A female professional from Xihai Province came up with a smile: "President Shi, let me help you do it."

"I used to own a small coffee shop."

Shi Luo nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

Among the abilities of this female professional, there is exactly "fire".

She doesn't use Bai Qian's stove and beans either - she carries a small bag of raw beans with her and controls the flame with her hands. Controlling the heat starts with roasting the beans.

The masterful control of flames was like a performance, attracting continuous applause from the surrounding professionals.

Even Peng Shuangjie's eyes lit up, as if he had met his first love again.

This guy's first love is really a bit too many.

Bai Qian regretted it, why should I make coffee?
"If you are so good at sensationalizing, you must be able to seduce men!" Bai Qian attributed all the sins to Shi Luo.

The female professional was very considerate. Not only did she prepare a cup for Shi Luo, she also counted everyone present and asked who wanted it, and made four cups for everyone.

The most annoying thing is that she also brought a drink to Bai Qian: "Sister Bai, how do you like it if you try it?"

Bai Qian took it with a sullen face and reluctantly took a sip. Then, from the tip of her tongue to her stomach and then to her brain, everything betrayed her will: It smells so good.

Peng Shuangjie watched from the side and scored in his mind: In this game, with the help of my first love, Sister Shi Luo won completely.

……

Tao Quanjie didn't go far.

Three or four kilometers away from the machine processing plant, he turned onto a secluded road. In the shadow of several private houses, a black car was parked.

There were no lights on in the car, and it was completely dark except for the red light of a cigarette butt on the back seat.

Tao Quanjie opened the car door, got in, and asked, "What should we do now?"

As he spoke, he pulled a listening device off his body. He had been carrying this thing with him, and what he said to Zhang Qingxiang and Shi Luo was heard by several people in the car.

The driver and the person in the passenger seat said nothing, waiting for the person smoking in the back to give the order.

The man calmly smoked a cigarette and said: "We tricked Wang Lie into finding Shi Luo, just to use Shi Luo's help to get rid of those water monsters. We can't deal with the king of water monsters.

This purpose has actually been achieved.

Now as long as we go down early and get the secret object, the whole plan will be completely successful. "

"Among the more than a hundred professionals Wang Lie has found, some of them are mine.

After waiting for a while, after everyone was tired, under the cover of our people, we secretly went down and took out the things. "

Tao Quanjie nodded: "This is the only way."

Civilians, unlike detectives, do not need to be on duty every night. Sometimes I take on tasks at night, and I don’t often stay up late, so my schedule is similar to that of a normal person.

You will definitely feel sleepy and relaxed after twelve o'clock in the evening.

The four people in the car waited until around twelve o'clock, then quietly got out of the car and went to the machine processing plant.

What they expected was that when they arrived at the machine processing plant, except for the roar of the water pump, everyone else would be sleepy and there would be no sound.

After the results arrived, I took a secret look: everyone was in high spirits, and chatter and laughter sounded from time to time.

"what happened?"

None of these people seem very sleepy tonight?
They could only hide far away and waited until three o'clock in the middle of the night. When everyone's energy was a little low, Dai Tongli contacted his "ghost".

There was actually more than one person, seven or eight people secretly responded, and the three of them quietly got into the crack at the bottom of the pool under the cover of darkness.

Tao Quanjie came down once. With him leading the way, the four of them quickly reached the energy barrier. Tao Quanjie was the first to pass through.

This time, he clearly felt that the energy barrier seemed a little "thin".

The last time I came down, this layer of energy barrier was like a trap, and it would be sucked in as soon as I touched it.

But this time, the energy diaphragm is like rubber, with a certain degree of elasticity, and it requires force to step in.

The "vast ocean" below also gave Tao Quanjie a strange feeling. There was still so much water, boundless and not a little less, but it just felt "thinner".

Tao Quanjie waited for Dai Tongli and the others to come down. Dai Tongli was holding an old pocket watch in his hand, emitting a faint blue light in the dark ocean.

There are three pointers on it, the two short ones are motionless, and the longest one is constantly rotating.

When Dai Tongli dives deeper, the hour hand will turn slightly.

Relying on the guidance of this secret object, the four of them continued to move in one direction.

After swimming for more than an hour, Tao Quanjie became a little impatient and gestured to Dai Tongli to ask how far it was.

Dai Tongli waved his hand.

He's not sure, and if you don't want to come, you can go back now.

Tao Quanjie was frustrated and could only continue to swim.

Another hour later, Dai Tongli suddenly stopped, and the hands of the ancient pocket watch in his hand began to rotate. Dai Tongli gestured excitedly: It's nearby!
Tao Quanjie and the other three's eyes suddenly lit up.

They are full of expectations for this secret object, which can give birth to a group of water monsters, the most powerful king of water monsters, even beyond the sixth level.

Although Zhang Qingxiang majestically killed the King of Water Monsters, Tao Quanjie and Dai Tongli both firmly believed that as long as they got this secret object, Zhang Qingxiang would definitely not be their opponent.

Tao Quanjie grabbed Dai Tongli, wrote with his fingers in the water, and said to Dai Tongli: "I got the thing, let me use it first, I want to humiliate that Zhang Qingxiang!"

"no problem."

Tao Quanjie never fell in love at first sight with Shi Luo. At most, it was just love at first sight.

He made that gesture, firstly, to cover his identity as a "traitor", and secondly, because he was pretentious and thought he could catch Shi Luo. And Shi Luo's conditions are very good, and he is the president of the original city, so it would be good to develop into his own mistress.

But he didn't expect that as soon as Zhang Qingxiang came, he would become that funny character who was "full of jealousy" because he was "unable to love"!

This is really a shame and humiliation for Tao Quanjie, who thinks highly of himself. He must get this face back.

The four of them continued to search according to the instructions of the pocket watch. Suddenly, a strange group of water plants appeared below, densely tangled together, as if they were the long hair of a drowned person.

In the core position, there is a dark red light flashing and extinguishing.

The four of them were very excited, but they tried to restrain themselves and swam over cautiously.

Only when they got closer did they realize that this group of "water plants" was very huge, with a diameter of more than ten meters.

It is not a real water plant, but a kind of light blue flame, which turns into long strips like water plants, entangled with each other.

Dai Tongli directed one person to step forward and test the fireweeds. Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched them, the fireweeds swung around him. They were clearly in the water, but intense green flames erupted in an instant.

The professional had no time to react and was burned to ashes in half a second!
The remaining three people were stunned and did not dare to move.

After a while, Tao Quanjie continued to communicate: "The fireweed is gone."

The fireweed that burned the professional to death did not return to the waterweed. After turning the professionals into ashes, they were also extinguished.

Dai Tongli nodded: "We can consume these fireweeds."

Dai Tongli and Tao Quanjie looked at each other and nodded together.

Both of them work as [Puppet Masters], and they carry a large number of puppets. So the two of them kept releasing their low-level puppets, drawing out a fireweed in the past, and neutralizing these fireweeds at their own expense.

But there were a lot of fireweeds, so the two took out various materials on their bodies and started making puppets on the spot.

Fortunately, these fireweeds don't have much intelligence. As long as they are provoked, they will rush out sullenly and die together with the enemy.

Regardless of whether it is a low-level or high-level puppet, the effect is the same.

But the two of them gradually became unable to do what they wanted.

They carried countless puppets and materials for making them. Tao Quanjie suddenly appeared behind the third professional and broke his neck with one move of his hands!
The professional's eyes widened and he stared blankly, wondering why his "companion" wanted to kill him.

"Your body of flesh and blood and bones are also good materials."

Dai Tongli only frowned slightly at Tao Quanjie's behavior, and then came over to deal with the "materials" with Tao Quanjie, making sure to make the best use of them and make more puppets.

After all the materials for this living body were consumed, only five of the large group of water plants were left.

The two of them also saw clearly that the flickering red light at the core came from something similar to a stove.

It doesn't look like a real stove, but more like a tripod with something like a brazier supported on it. The brazier is burning with red light, which is not strong, as if it may go out at any time.

The two looked at each other and communicated: "Stop hiding your secrets."

"Even if you consume high-level puppets, you must get this secret object."

"After we succeed, we will share it. With this thing, we can dominate the world together!"

The two seemed to be cooperating sincerely, nodding together and releasing the powerful puppet they had hidden at the bottom of the box.

……

It was already dawn, and Zhang Qingxiang was standing by the pool. The amount of water pouring out of the cracks below was greatly reduced.

Peng Shuangjie and Tian Mingkun stood behind him. Peng Shuangjie peered at him and said, "Director, it can't be pulled out. The water below should have dried up."

Zhang Qingxiang thinks it's not that simple.

But Zhang Qingxiang could clearly feel that the amount of water had decreased, but the mysterious energy seeping out of the cracks had not.

If the machine processing factory is a closed "mysterious scene", the concentration of accumulated mysterious energy at this time must have exceeded that of a super large scene.

This phenomenon shows that the situation here is the worst one guessed by Zhang Qingxiang!
Zhang Qingxiang sighed secretly and walked towards the pool: "I'll go down and take a look. You guys are suffering from it. No matter what happens, don't act rashly. Wait for me to come back!"

In the second half of the sentence, Zhang Qingxiang emphasized his tone.

Shi Luo immediately said: "I'll go with you."

"No." Zhang Qingxiang refused without hesitation, and then jumped into the crack.

……

Tao Quanjie has the last and most powerful puppet left.

For the remaining five fireweeds, Tao Quanjie contributed two high-level puppets, and then sincerely informed Dai Tongli that there really were none, not even one.

The remaining three fireweeds were all solved by Dai Tongli.

Now the high-level secret was completely exposed in front of the two of them.

Both of them were extremely excited, rubbing their hands together and eager to try.

Dai Tongli looked at Tao Quanjie: "Who is coming?"

Tao Quanjie raised his hand: "Come here."

Dai Tongli secretly said, "You know the truth," so he stepped forward and carefully prepared to collect the secret object.

Both of them were focusing on the secret object, and there was no gap at all. A few dozen meters behind them, Zhang Qingxiang stood there quietly watching them.

Dai Tongli's hands slowly came into contact with the secret object, and his face burst into ecstasy. However, the next moment there was an irresistible force that sucked him away with a whoosh!

Because it was so fast, it looked like Dai Tongli disappeared mysteriously as soon as he touched the thing.

"what?"

Tao Quanjie was shocked and didn't understand what happened.

He circled around the powerful secret object several times and tried to step forward several times, but he did not dare.

But the temptation of the secret object was too great, and he couldn't hold it back in the end. He gritted his teeth and released his last puppet, and rushed forward to grab the secret object.

Whoosh!
High-level puppets were also sucked away by that power.

Tao Quanjie's expression changed again, and suddenly a voice sounded in the water: "You were wrong from the beginning. It was not this secret object that gave birth to those water monsters, but the world behind this secret object that overlapped with the secret world. "Special passage."

This channel continuously transports mysterious energy. The situation here is somewhat similar to the [Secret Realm].

Tao Quanjie suddenly turned around and saw Zhang Qingxiang. He subconsciously wanted to shout, "Don't come over. This is my baby!"

But saliva came flooding in.

Tao Quanjie didn't have time to think too much, he only had one thought: If I don't take action, this treasure will be snatched away by Zhang Qingxiang.

He gritted his teeth and grabbed the secret object, and then a look of panic appeared on his face.

Swah——

Tao Quanjie is also missing.

Zhang Qingxiang could only shake his head, and they were all sucked into the secret world. With their strength, there is only one way to die when they get there.
