The Spirit World

Chapter 333 Exploding Test Stone [Mei Lang]

Yingzi's body was not found.

All that was found was her torn and blood-stained clothes.

There were also several brothers who were killed by the Shadow King Snake because they did not respond when their names were called, and there were more than ten injured.

What’s sad is that the Shadow King Snake did not die, but instead escaped with injuries after eating several people.

Although this was a heavy loss, the entire battle did not last long. The Shadow King's stealth attack was very troublesome and it was extremely difficult to chase him in the dark, so the alert had not been lifted.

Of course, this is a later story. While they were fighting, all the people in the logistics department were gathered together and hid in the basement.

When hearing Yingzi's shrill screams, Anzi acted strangely so that Meilang didn't know what to say. Anzi sat weakly against the wall. Meilang looked around and saw many people he had never seen before. Anzi was in a very low mood. He had no way to continue asking Anzi, so he had to deal with his own strength.

His chin was hit by the vibration caused by the Shadow King Snake hitting the ground. Now his entire gums were covered with red and fishy blood, and even his nasal cavity was covered with blood. Even without a mirror, he could see that his body was covered in blood. People who came to comfort him, including Sister Ma, gave Sister Ma a fright, thinking that he had escaped from the belly of the Shadow King Snake. Mei Lang had to scratch his head and said that it was not the case and that it was entirely his own carelessness that caused this and that there was no need to worry. Sister Ma could only look at him doubtfully and gave him a basin of water and a very old towel.

However, the initial pain disappeared very quickly, and he felt much better now. He didn't seem to have any bad reaction from running here for shelter just now. It was just that the blood in his nose choked him so much that he cried.

He put the water in front of him, soaked the towel in it, and cleaned his face. The towel was extremely rough, but at least it could still clean his face, from his face to his neck, and then to his clothes that could be wiped clean. The whole basin of water was dyed red.

I also drank a lot of water. It was more like blood in my throat than water. I raised my head and slowly poured the water into my nasal cavity, then exhaled slowly.

Those who didn't know looked at him with blood all over his body and his strange behavior, thinking that something had happened and looked at him with strange eyes. Anzi seemed to be a little better and came to help Meilang pour water.

Mei Lang wanted to say that Yingzi should be fine, but Yingzi's screams said it all, so he could only wipe his face in silence.

It is midsummer now, and the temperature in the underground shelter is still very high. Brother Chen, the administrator of the logistics department, put in a few low-level magic crystals with ice properties, and the situation got much better.

"Hey..." Anzi refilled the basin and placed it next to Mei Lang, sighing, "You are so careless."

Mei Lang nodded and carefully touched his forehead with the rough cloth. The rough cloth scratched his skin, which was a bit painful, but he was afraid that it would not be clean enough, so he had to grit his teeth and keep rubbing it.

"Well, sorry."

"No need to apologize. There's nothing to apologize for. You didn't do anything." An Zi paused for a second.

"I heard them say that the Shadow King Snake is coming. What is that?" Mei Lang looked at Anzi, wrung out the towel, and took him to place him accurately on the shelf. Seeing this, Anzi picked up the basin and followed him.

"Ah... It's a kind of snake that can become invisible. When ordinary people see it, it is already unable to escape, so it is also called the death king cobra." An Zi looked at the ripples in the basin, layers of light red waves were swaying gently.

"If it is too large, it will be like a small mountain that can hide and move, so it is also called the mountain king snake."

"It sounds very powerful..." Mei Lang had already washed his face, and there was still a very light and wide bloodstain on his clothes.

"Well...if we get close to Chaofeng Canyon, I guess it can't be simply described as powerful. It should be described as terrifying. In this situation, if the King Cobra wants to eat us, it will probably only take a moment." Anzi poured the water into the drain in the basement.

"Ah...if that's the case, will they really be okay?" Anzi placed the towel on the rack and gently pulled the two corners to spread it out.

"I don't know, but no matter what, everything in Chaofeng is very dangerous... there will inevitably be casualties." Anzi put the basin away and stood at the door waiting for him: "The people from the security department must guard the goods. Now it should be the five leaders who are going to drive away the king cobra. It should be fine. Didn't the old man go there too..."

"Are all our presidents masters?" To be precise, Mei Lang didn't know what the concept of a master was, but an invisible hill that could move and send out such a huge vibration, no one would dare to take on the challenge without strong strength. Besides, he was the leader of a guild after all, so he must be not much different.

"There are two at the Star level, and the rest are at the top of the Gold level." An Zi knew he didn't understand, so he had to explain: "Those who are on the Master List are very strong, such as the old man [Bloodshot Double Blades] and the president [Darkness Chasing Huaguang]. The other three are not on the Master List, they are just Gold level, but they are very strong in actual combat."

"Can the president practice? No, I mean can she have spiritual power? Didn't you say that the president is a woman from a business family? How come she is at the Star level again?"

Mei Lang looked at the children sitting on the ground eating biscuits and their somewhat tired parents. Most of the staff in the logistics department were like this. In this basement with earthquake-proof heavy stones, they didn't actually feel it was very dangerous.

In other words, there is no sense of crisis. Although most people were woken up late at night, they are now chatting leisurely, and those who want to rest will not be disturbed.

"When did I say she can't practice? I mean, the president is also a miserable woman." An Zi said in a low voice: "But it is true that her Star Rank came in a strange way."

"What do you mean?" Mei Lang tilted his head to look at Anzi. They sat back on the ground, leaning against the wall, and put their feet aside.

"It seems that she forced herself to break through by taking drugs. She has been in the Golden Stage for a long time. After her father's death, she made up her mind to practice in seclusion, and then relied on drugs to force herself to break through the Golden Stage." Anzi looked at the people coming and going in the secret passage. If they were not in the secret passage, they might be mistaken for beggars sitting here. Under the light of the magic lamp, the light red on Mei Lang's body looked like dark dirt.

"Her father..." Mei Lang couldn't have much contact with this person named Yue Qingxue, even though she said a lot of strange things to him.

Those words were weird and nonsensical, like "You are very much like someone" and "human desires". They made him dizzy. He knew very little about her. Although Anzi also talked about it, he didn't say much in detail. Maybe Anzi himself didn't know so much about Yue Qingxue.

Because he is also from the logistics department.

Although his job was to explain knowledge to some children, which was completely different from Mei Lang's job as a groom, he had few opportunities to engage in front-line work.

"Five years ago, his father died on a popular trade route. She refused to announce the death of his father and forced the delivery of the goods, then returned to the Shuangma Club's headquarters. After that, she was basically the one who managed the Shuangma Club. Everyone respected her, even though she was not that mature and sometimes did things unreliably."

"Five years ago... it was the eve of the war... I read it in a little book... In the year 5 of the Empire, the two countries were at war." Mei Lang remembered the book clearly. Although An Zi said that anyone who discussed this kind of thing would die, how could he not talk about it? Isn't this just covering one's ears and stealing the bell?

Covering one's ears and stealing the bell is a very foolish behavior.

"Hey...really...if it weren't for the tense situation, Shuangma would have squeezed into the top few chambers of commerce and would definitely have received some care. Since then, several chambers of commerce allies have severed their relations. The only chamber of commerce that maintains friendly relations with us is the Fox and Wolf Chamber of Commerce, but that's only because the president of the Lone Wolf Chamber of Commerce also married our president." Anzi closed his eyes, leaned against the wall to rest, and moved his position.

"No, he just wants to take over the resources of the Shuangma Club. The assets left by the old president are still considerable. At least that's what I think." An Zi added, and when he mentioned the Lone Wolf Club, he pouted with some disgust.

"It's a bit complicated..." Mei Lang looked at the light red blood on his body. He found that even though he had lost so much blood, his gums recovered quickly and now he didn't feel any pain at all.

"It's not complicated at all... You can just regard them as people who just want money, and the relationship chain behind them will be clear, just like you will never get a free lunch here. You have been sweeping horse manure for three days just for three meals a day." An Zi sighed again, his sadness was beyond words, but he was not so emotional when he spoke now.

"...Ah...That's true...If I don't work, I'll probably be kicked out...I don't know anything...I'll definitely die in the monster's stomach..." Mei Lang nodded, and smiled bitterly as if he knew what he said was funny. "By the way, didn't we just talk about spiritual power? If you had spiritual power, the current situation would be completely different. Maybe you will be very successful in the future." An Zi opened his eyes and looked at Mei Lang with some expectation. Mei Lang smiled bitterly and said that he didn't know how to use spiritual power at all.

"Ah...you can give it a try...how do you know if you haven't tried...I'll find you a test magic stone?" Anzi became interested. After all, he was not as sad as he looked. Mei Lang looked at him and knew roughly what Yingzi was like. Anzi and Yingzi had a good relationship and they even had some admiration for each other.

"Okay...but I don't think it's possible. I don't even know what spiritual power is." Mei Lang continued to speak in line with Anzi's meaning. Maybe this way, Anzi would feel much better?

Compared to Xiao Zhang, Anzi did help him learn a lot of things quickly. Of course, he was worthy of being the little teacher here. Mei Lang was very grateful to Anzi. Although he heard that it was Xiao Zhang who rescued him from Chaofeng Gorge, which was also a life-saving grace, Anzi was more of a rebirth for him, teaching him a lot of common sense, so that he could look after the horses here and get a meal so as not to starve to death.

"It's okay. There are many people here who know how to use spiritual power. You can learn the important things." An Zi said and started running. He walked straight to the person standing next to him and asked something, then nodded.

Mei Lang looked at his excitement and became a little worried. Although he thought it was a bit abnormal that Anzi cared more about his spiritual power than he did, if he could use his spiritual power, would he be more valued and leave the logistics department? That way, he would have more opportunities to get close to Yue Qingxue and find out the whole story.

Being an unknown person sweeping horse manure is indeed not very interesting, although for me now, it is still very satisfying.

What is spiritual power...?

No matter what it is, if it can help you regain your memory, it is worth a try.

No matter what, it is better than being a groom for life. Although he may not be a groom for life. It is impossible for him to stay in Shuangma Club for life.

"Ah! It's so hard to find a good test fairy stone." Anzi sat down and held a stone in his palm. He looked at Mei Lang with full expectation and handed him the round stone.

"Here, try to inject spiritual energy into it. By looking at the quality, I will know where your upper limit of talent lies."

Mei Lang looked at this seemingly ordinary stone very seriously. He looked at Anzi with some confusion and said that he didn't know how to inject spiritual power into it. Can that kind of thing really be injected just by saying so?
"Just like me." Anzi took the test stone from Meilang's hand again and took a deep breath.

"Ha!" He shouted, and the originally dim test stone suddenly glowed. Although it was still very dim, there was still light flashing.

Mei Lang looked at the light very carefully, his black pupils were straight, and An Zi said happily: "Don't look at my rubbish spiritual power, I am the kind of person who has no spiritual power talent at all."

"it's your turn."

Mei Lang looked at the stone with half belief and half doubt. What kind of power made the stone glow?
Anzi...didn't say anything...Is it okay to just laugh? Did he not study it because he couldn't use his spiritual power? Probably not, it's just that Anzi really couldn't use his spiritual power.

Spiritual power is truly a magical thing. Just like a horse, it will choose its user.

And for no reason at all.

If it can be used, it can be used. If it cannot be used, it cannot be used. It seems like it is something destined by heaven.

Is it destiny again? Isn't it strange that I thought of something like this?

"Okay... but you'd better not expect it too much... hahaha..." Mei Lang held the test stone tightly.

"Ha!" Mei Lang shouted.

An Zi shook his head, touched his chin and said: "It's not like that, it's [Ha!]"

"Ha!?" Meilang imitated Yasuko's [Ha!], but there was absolutely no difference, was there?

"No, no, it's [Ha!]"

“[Haaaaaah]”

"No, no! You say this with all your strength. Just like me! Take a deep breath! And then [Ha!]"

"Okay...but don't hold too much hope...I can't feel any spiritual power at all..." Mei Lang shook his head.

Then, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath...

The strength of your whole body?

He quickly sat up straight.
"【ha!】"

[Boom!] It sounded like a thunder.

The dust in the basement seemed to sweep across the entire corridor, and the explosion-like sound made everyone's hair stand on end. Anzi was blown away and rolled on the ground, and Meilang was also smashed heavily against the wall.

"Cough cough cough... No way..." Anzi held his arm which had just healed a lot but now started bleeding again, and looked at the stupid Meilang whose face was covered in dust and who looked confused after being blown up.

"What are you doing!"

"Ah! Ah!"

"Cough cough cough..."

Everyone around was shocked and blamed the two.

Anzi stood up.

Suddenly, he burst into laughter.

This smile caught the bewildered Mei Lang off guard. He felt that Anzi's smile was even more frightening than the exploding stone just now.

Of course, some of yesterday's typos were intentional, and some were not.
