Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 390 Weakened Version of Hellfire
"Zhong Xiaonan, why are you here?"

Shen Siyuan was very surprised to see Zhong Xiaonan, but he quickly reacted and looked at the birdcage-like thing on the table in front of her.

"You succeeded in cultivating it?" Shen Siyuan was very surprised.

Zhong Xiaonan nodded first, then shook his head.

Shen Siyuan was not surprised that she didn't speak. This girl seemed to be full of wildness, like an elf in the mountains, but she rarely spoke the truth and was a bit introverted.

Even in Shen Siyuan's mind, her beauty surpassed that of their team leader Song Meixian.

Song Meixian was indeed more beautiful than an ordinary person. She was perfect and had no flaws. But because of her exquisite beauty, she was not that beautiful in Shen Siyuan's eyes.

Of course, Shen Siyuan might be the only one in the world who thinks so, because Song Meixian's beauty is not only due to her appearance, but also related to her abilities.

Unfortunately, her ability is of little use to Shen Siyuan and has no effect on him, so he naturally appears to be particularly sober.

Huang Yuntao saw Shen Siyuan coming down. As soon as he stood up, he saw him walking straight towards the beautiful woman beside him.

Although he was a little surprised, he didn't say anything and just stood there watching quietly.

In fact, he had noticed Zhong Xiaonan a long time ago, but seeing her sitting there like a fairy in the forest, out of his reach, he hesitated and didn't dare to go forward. He didn't expect that he actually knew Shen Siyuan.

"Take your things and go to my room." Shen Siyuan said.

After all, this is a hotel lobby with many people around and it would be bad to be seen by others.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaonan quickly picked up the box in front of him and stood up.

"Brother Shen." Huang Yuntao called out hurriedly.

He was worried that if he didn't speak up, Shen Siyuan would forget about him.

"I have something to do, please wait a moment." Shen Siyuan said.

"Okay, okay, you go ahead." Huang Yuntao gave an expression that said I understand.

Shen Siyuan knew that he had misunderstood, but he didn't explain it to him. After all, whether he misunderstood or not, it didn't make any difference to Shen Siyuan.

Zhong Xiaonan didn't think much about it and followed Shen Siyuan into the room.

It's not that she is confident in Shen Siyuan's character, but because with Shen Siyuan's ability, he can have any girlfriend he wants. If he is really interested in her, her leader will probably be ecstatic.

Was the reason why the task of contacting Shen Siyuan was assigned to Group 2 because of their strong capabilities? Was it because the leader of Group 2 was beautiful and they wanted to use the beauty trap, but they didn't expect that Shen Siyuan seemed to have no feelings for Song Meixian at all, and was actually very close to her.

"After the last failure, we used the embryos we cultivated and combined them with genetic technology and scientific means to finally cultivate a new batch of iron-eating fireflies."

As soon as he entered the room, Zhong Xiaonan couldn't wait to lift the black cloth cover on the glass box.

But in the center of the box, there were two long insects shining with a faint light. They were the pair of female insects that Shen Siyuan gave her.

But around them, there were many small short insects crawling densely.

If the pair of female insects are as long as an adult's middle finger, then these small insects are at most the size of a segment of an adult's little finger.

But these problems are not big, after all, they are not fully mature yet, and when they grow up, they will not be too short.

"But there is a problem, that is... that is..."

"What is it?" Shen Siyuan asked curiously when he saw her hesitant look.

"It's just like the iron-eating firefly has lost its ability to devour gold and iron." Zhong Xiaonan said with some distress.

"We have tried many ways, but none of them have been able to preserve this feature."

"That's it..."

Shen Siyuan looked at the insects in the box. The iron-eating insects that could not devour gold and iron were waste. What was the difference between them and ordinary insects? They had no use value at all.

"Open the box and let me see." Shen Siyuan said.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaonan hurriedly opened the lid and Shen Siyuan reached his hand in.

Zhong Xiaonan subconsciously wanted to stop it, but then suddenly realized that this was the other party's thing and had long been tamed by the other party.

During this period of time, he was really frightened by the power of this pair of iron-eating fireflies, so he became nervous subconsciously.

The two Iron Fireflies, no, to be more precise, the Nether Fire Fireflies, seemed to have been summoned and immediately flapped their wings and landed on the back of Shen Siyuan's hand. They were so fast that afterimages appeared.

Shen Siyuan just moved his fingers, and the queen insect immediately made a faint sound. If Zhong Xiaonan was not an ordinary person, he would not have been able to hear such a tiny sound.

With the sound, a bug flew out of the glass box and landed in Shen Siyuan's palm.

Shen Siyuan showed no mercy and just reached out and squeezed it, but failed to break it.

He was a little surprised, and used a little more strength to crush the bug to death. "Useless." Shen Siyuan sighed.

These bugs are slightly stronger than ordinary bugs, but they cannot catch up with the main body and do not have the ability to devour gold and iron, so they are useless.

"Sorry." Zhong Xiaonan said.

She felt that Shen Siyuan trusted her so much that he could entrust this task to her, but she failed to do it well and let Shen Siyuan down.

"It doesn't matter. The responsibility is not yours." Shen Siyuan said.

Last time he figured out what was going on. After all, this Iron-eating Firefly is a prehistoric alien species, and the first condition to become a prehistoric alien species is that it must have a special growth environment.

The place where the Iron-eating Firefly is born not only requires extremely precious metal veins, but also requires sufficient spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

This world is completely devoid of spiritual energy. To be able to cultivate a degenerated version of the iron-eating beast, it can be said that Zhong Xiaonan has spent a lot of energy and effort.

Of course, it is definitely inseparable from the support of the Special Affairs Bureau. Otherwise, Zhong Xiaonan alone would not be able to achieve what she has now. After all, she is not studying biological sciences.

"What about now..." Zhong Xiaonan asked nervously.

"It's useless to me. If you want it, I'll give it to you." Shen Siyuan said.

"Thank you." Zhong Xiaonan looked happy.

The things that Shen Siyuan discarded like trash were all treasures to her.

Although it is not as strong as its mother body which is as hard as gold and iron and can penetrate gold and stone, after being raised to maturity, it can definitely fight tigers and hunt bears.

Zhong Xiaonan happily reached out to take the box back, but Shen Siyuan suddenly reached out to stop her.

"Wait a moment."

"what?"

Zhong Xiaonan was stunned, and put the box down reluctantly.

Seeing her like this, Shen Siyuan was amused by her.

Zhong Xiaonan's cheeks instantly turned red, and her eyes were watery, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Shen Siyuan was also quite speechless, but that was her personality, so it was not easy to say much.

Shen Siyuan opened the lid of the glass box, stretched out his finger and flicked it inside. A ball of dark blue flame fell onto a group of insects. Not only did those insects not die in the flame, but other insects around them also gathered towards the flame.

"Huh?" Shen Siyuan was also a little surprised.

The Hell Fire Firefly originally evolved from the Iron Firefly. Unexpectedly, these artificially cultivated Iron Fireflies did not retain the characteristics of the Iron Firefly, but instead retained the characteristics of the Hell Fire Firefly and can actually absorb the Hell Fire.

So Shen Siyuan threw a large ball of Nether Fire into the glass box, and instantly the entire box was filled with Nether Fire, shining with a faint blue light.

All the insects fluttered their wings and danced in the underworld fire, seeming to cheer and rejoice...

Shen Siyuan closed the glass box again and turned to look at Zhong Xiaonan, but found that the girl was hiding far away and did not dare to approach at all.

It's no wonder she was scared. Her body was crawling with insect spirits. If they encountered the underworld fire, it would be like throwing a match into gasoline, which would instantly ignite her.

"Take it away." Shen Siyuan covered it with the black cloth again.

"Huh? Give it to me?" Zhong Xiaonan widened his eyes with an expression of disbelief.

She was not surprised that Shen Siyuan could give her an ordinary firefly.

But seeing that these iron-eating fireflies could survive in the Nether Fire and devour the Nether Fire, she knew that she would most likely lose these insects, so she prepared herself mentally.

But she didn't expect that Shen Siyuan would still give her these insects, so she was surprised.

"These bugs are of no use to me."

To Shen Siyuan, Nether Fire was the cheapest thing. He had as much as he wanted. Even a few of the little guys could emit Nether Fire.

"Thank you."

Zhong Xiaonan took it with gratitude. At this moment, she had forgotten her fear.

"Remember to continue feeding them with insect spirits. Once they have completely absorbed the Nether Fire, they will most likely evolve the ability to control the Nether Fire. Since you are the one feeding them with insect spirits, they will not hurt you..." Shen Siyuan reminded.

"Well, I see."

Zhong Xiaonan nodded gratefully, tears in her eyes, and seemed to be so moved that she was about to cry.
