Magical Girl's Knight Brother

After a pause, Qiongniu spoke again.

"I originally thought I was under an illusion, but it wasn't until I actually touched it that I realized it was true. If it weren't for the golden leaf, I'm afraid I would have been..."

"A force that even you can't contend with?"

The ghostly light in the skeleton flickered, as if it was thinking about something.

Qiongniu raised his head cautiously and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Perhaps, those faceless men are even faster than us?"

"Go on."

"The reverse world connects the entire real world with all dimensions. Now that we can find the entrance to the secret realm, with their abilities, breaking the barrier should be much easier."

Qiongniu expressed his guess.

"Each secret realm contains special supernatural abilities. Although we cannot be sure how many of them still exist in today's reality, it is unlikely that the 'Tree Crown Royal City' is the only one."

"Are you suspecting that the Greedy Ones had already laid their hands on those secret realms seven years ago?"

"I think it's very likely. Although the number of those faceless people is not large, they are not too few either. They have never appeared in reality in the past seven years. This itself is a suspicious point. If they are not in reality, then where can they be?"

Qiongniu's words calmed the skeleton down.

The blue will-o'-the-wisp flames jumped from time to time, and a slight crackling sound was heard on the bones.

I don’t know how long it took, but the cold voice appeared again.

"Your guess is not unreasonable. This may be why they turned against us."

If the inner world wants to invade the real world, what it needs is a gap between the two dimensions caused by the surge of negative energy. It does not need to reverse the world, so both sides have always had what they need and the situation is relatively stable.

But if the inner world points its spearhead at the secret realm in the real world, then when it breaks through the dimensional barrier, it will inevitably cause fluctuations in the reversed world, thus affecting the greedy person.

He had made this guess when the Crab Demon disappeared for no reason. The fact that they were able to open a passage to the reverse world that had been silent for seven years showed that their actions had attracted the attention of the Greedy Ones.

"The land that the Crab Barbarian possessed was previously the contracted land outside Huailing. If we can leverage human technology, the speed at which we can open the barrier will be several times faster."

"It would be fine if it was only noticed by that lucky magical girl who survived, but the Greedy Ones' actions only prove that they have been paying attention to our actions the entire time."

"Sir, if the Greedy One is involved, should we inform the other lords? After all, this is a war between two dimensions. If we rely on ourselves, we might not be able to win."

Before Qiongniu could finish his words, the sound of the skeleton interrupted him.

“It’s not that far yet.”

"If the Greedy Ones truly had the power to start a war, their revenge would have been even more severe. However, we've already given out plenty of bait, and in the end, we only managed to catch a few small fish."

"What do you mean?" Qiongniu frowned.

"The Demon God shows no signs of awakening, and I suspect the Greedy God is the same. You haven't had much contact with them, so it's normal that you don't know their habits."

A few sparks appeared from the skeleton and floated in the air.

"Greedy people are a bunch of people who will not do anything without profit. They are born of lies and deception, and are only self-centered, focusing on personal gain without devoting themselves to others. Such an existence is nothing but a pile of loose sand."

"Even if they can find new energy and power from some lost secret realm, every secret realm that has survived from ancient times to the present day is a tough nut to crack."

"The fact that they have been silent for seven years shows that they have not yet recovered from the war."

Upon hearing this, Qiongniu also reacted. "No wonder only Xuecheng and Chang'an responded to the bait I cast earlier. Those faceless people must have suffered heavy casualties trying to obtain that power."

"Well, we've been operating in Treetop City for so long. If they wanted to start a war, they would have done it long ago. They wouldn't have chosen to stop us by disrupting the production of exotic beasts."

Qiongniu nodded thoughtfully, and then listened to the voice continue.

"But the guy you met before was indeed a variable."

Indeed, it is still uncertain how many greedy people still possess that special power. If we act rashly, it is likely to cause greater chaos.

Qiongniu knew very well how much Lord Skeleton valued this plan. This operation had been planned decades ago. Now was the critical moment, and any changes would have incalculable consequences.

The energy possessed by the Tree Crown King City is extremely special, and it is also a way to enable Lord Skeleton to further enhance his strength.

If other senior officials knew about this kind of power, the entire inner world would be in chaos. No one would want someone similar to themselves to suddenly become a threat to them one day, and senior officials are no exception.

Perhaps cooperation with other adults can avoid going to war with the Greedy, but once cooperation is achieved, the ownership of this secret treasure will become a new problem.

Although several senior officials will not fall into civil strife because of this, this energy will no longer belong to Lord Skeleton.

It will ultimately only serve as nourishment for the demon's revival.

Thinking of this, Qiongniu's face turned a little gloomy. "Then, sir, what should we do next?"

"Speed up the progress. We must capture the Treetop King City as soon as possible."

The voice from the skeleton had an unmistakable harsh tone.

"You will return to the real world in the next few days. The command of the alien beast army will be handed over to Bei. You have only one task, and that is to create as many biological weapons as possible."

"Yes, sir, we already have insufficient numbers of Outer Daoists under our command. Cultivating Exotic Beast Eggs consumes too many Dark Crystals, and increasing production will inevitably attract the attention of those Magical Girls. Isn't that a bit..."

"Don't worry, as long as I can get the secret treasure of the Crown King City, I can have as many dark crystals as I want. As for the magical girl...

You do it yourself, kill as many as you can, and it's best to make them lose their composure, just distract them from this for the time being."

"clear."

Qiongniu nodded heavily, and then he thought of something.

"Sir, what if the Greedy Ones take action?"

"."

After hearing Qiongniu's words, the skeleton fell into a brief silence.

After a moment's silence, the voice resurfaced.

“Don’t get into conflict with them unless it’s absolutely necessary.”

Chapter 128 Mr. Qin

Tang Zijun is feeling very uncomfortable now.

Very very uncomfortable.

The faint sound of panting echoed throughout the space, and the blade of the knight's sword was still dripping with the black blood of the monsters.

The battle just now made Tang Zijun feel like he was back in the past. The mucus of the strange beasts covered his armor all over his body. The sticky feeling made him, who was a germaphobe, almost vomit.

I thought the attack of the owl monster was over, but I didn't expect that this was just the beginning. In this special space, all kinds of unexpected monsters suddenly appeared.

The idiom "every tree and grass looks like an enemy" was perfectly proved at this moment. Tang Zijun always felt that there were countless enemies lurking in the thick fog.

He had just gotten rid of the owl monster with the help of Langya, but before he could catch his breath, a giant salamander attacked him from underwater and almost dragged him into the underground river.

After spending a lot of effort, he finally dragged himself out of the water. Unexpectedly, the shore had inexplicably turned into a forest, and there was a giant python waiting for him.

I was curious about the location of these monsters from the other world before, but now I can just kill them and have fun.

If it weren't for the fact that these monsters couldn't drop gold coins, Tang Zijun would have really thought that he was in some large-scale dungeon, and a single-player dungeon at that, without support.

The broken fragments of the spider's front legs hung on Tang Zijun's shoulder armor, swaying as he moved forward.

The mask of the helmet was not spared either. The sticky black gelatinous substance slid down the mask, adding a bit of ferocity to him.

With every step he took, he could hear the sound of mucus rubbing against his body. Tang Zijun came to Chang Lei with a grim face and was about to complain when he suddenly noticed the little man in his hand.

"Who is this?"

"I'll introduce it to you after you come over." Chang Lei placed the elf in his palm. He knew that she had no intention of running away.

Even if she had, she couldn't escape with the Wolf Riders present.

The elf was already scared silly at this time. Looking at the existence in front of her that looked like an ancient ferocious beast, she was trembling with fear and could not say a word.

It's no wonder that she was so scared. The main reason was that Tang Zijun's current state was quite visually impactful. Even Tang Zijun didn't dare to imagine his current state (he was afraid that he would vomit).

But unlike the elf, Tang Zijun was looking at herself in Chang Lei's hands with curiosity.

This little creature is only about five or six centimeters tall, and looks no bigger than a pointed-headed grasshopper. She looks pretty pretty, and belongs to a human-like species. The only difference is the dragonfly-like wings behind her and the two antennae on her forehead.

These two tentacles are not long, black, like hair, with oval tips and emitting a faint green glow.

If it were an insect, then the antennae would most likely be used for communication, courtship, etc., but this is a new species, and Tang Zijun is not sure what this organ is used for.

But judging from the thick fog driven away by the fluorescent light, these two tentacles seemed to be the means by which the other party could enter and exit freely without being affected by space.

Just then, the little guy spoke.

"Just now, those spiders were all killed by you, by you."

"You can speak Chinese?" Tang Zijun was a little surprised. He thought that these fantasy creatures would have their own language.

"The creatures in the secret realm are closely connected to those in the real world, so it's not surprising that they can speak human language," Chang Lei explained. "But this little creature doesn't strictly speak 'human language'. Her language is influenced by those two tentacles, transforming it into something you can understand."

"Oh." Tang Zijun nodded. Now he knew the effect of the tentacles on the other party's head.

After a pause, he continued, "If you're talking about the giant spiders that just charged at me, then I did kill them, though a few got away. By the way, my name is Wolf Rider. What's yours?"

The elf hesitated for a moment before answering playfully, "My name is Hyacinth."

"Hyacinth?" Tang Zijun turned to look at Chang Lei. "It sounds like the name of a flower."

"It sounds similar to me. It might be the naming method of their race." Chang Lei shrugged.

Tang Zijun waved his hand. "Let's not talk about this anymore. This isn't the place to talk. Let's get out of this chaotic space and figure out another solution. We don't want to get separated again."

At this time, the boundary between the secret realm and the real world has become blurred, and countless strange beasts are lurking in the chaotic space. Although Tang Zijun can ensure his own safety, his goal this time is not simply to kill monsters.

Hearing this, Chang Lei had no objection.

"This pot of water is finally used."

He had wanted to leave a long time ago. If he hadn't been afraid that Tang Zijun wouldn't be able to find him, he would have returned to the real world just now.

After making the decision, the two of them moved quickly. Before the elf could react, she followed the two people in front of her and disappeared on the spot.

In Qin Nan's rental house in Chang'an City.

A glimmer of light flashed, and Tang Zijun's figure emerged first. At this time, he had already released his transformed state. Without the disgusting mucus, Tang Zijun felt relaxed all over.

Chang Lei followed behind holding the elf. He didn't have any special reaction. For him, it didn't matter where he went. The elf, on the other hand, was a little nervous, with fear in the corners of his eyes.

"Qin Nan is in charge of teaching Tang Cao. She's currently living in Xuecheng. Don't be shy and just treat this place as your own. The rent is almost due, and I'm trying to convince her to move somewhere else."

Qin Nan's rental house is very tidy because she has no personal belongings at all. The furniture here is basically left by the landlord.

Unlike most young people, Qin Nan is the type of person who changes a batch of clothes every year. She never buys expensive clothes. She only buys clothes made of materials that cost only a few dozen yuan. She wears them for a year and then throws them away without feeling bad.

Tang Zijun casually opened the ice box and took out two bottles of Coke. He threw one to Chang Lei and opened the other and took a swig.

There is nothing more refreshing than drinking a bottle of happy water after a fierce battle. Besides, he has a good physique, so he won’t get a stomachache even if he drinks it cold.

Chang Lei took the Coke, thought about it, opened it and took a sip, then put the elf on the table. "Do you want to drink it? I'll find you a bottle cap."

The elf was still confused. After hearing Chang Lei's words, he glanced at the bubbling black liquid again, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. "Thank you, but no thanks."

Pulling a chair and sitting down, Tang Zijun set his sights on the elf.

"Let's talk, Hyacinth. Who are you? Why are those outsider demons targeting you?"

The elf did not answer Tang Zijun's words immediately. She just observed the surrounding scene nervously.

"I'm out? I, I'm really out?"

"If your goal is to come down to reality from the secret realm, then yes, once you come out, this is the real world," said Tang Zijun.

As if she really felt that Tang Zijun had no ill intentions, the elf's frightened look gradually turned into curiosity. She stared at Bingshuang for a long time, and then her gaze fell on the chandelier on the ceiling.

It seems that the creatures in these secret realms have been isolated from the world for too long, and they don’t even know that humans have developed to this point.

Perhaps in the eyes of these supernatural beings, humans are still inferior creatures who fight with fire sticks.

"You are safe now, Miss Hyacinth. I know you are curious about some things in reality, but before that, I hope you can tell us what happened first."

The elf withdrew his gaze. "Okay, okay."

"Tell me about it," Tang Zijun said. "Who are you, how did those outsider demons find you, and why did they wage war against your world?"

The elf sighed softly, considered his words, and then spoke slowly.

"We were originally spirit insects born from the Tree of Life, its companions. Over time, my race gradually developed intelligence and evolved into human forms. Humans call us flower fairies and wood elves, and we once taught humans the art of growing flowers."

"That should have happened in ancient times." Chang Lei interjected.
