Chapter 206: The Return of Whistling Castle

Thanks?

Link was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Li Ziqian meant.

It's thanks to him that the library saved Benjamin before.

I have been thanking me verbally before, and I have never found a good opportunity to formally thank me.

Coupled with Link's current identity as the head of the Qilin Hall in the slum, if he were to thank him as the military, he would probably do bad things with good intentions.

So taking the opportunity of this expedition trip, Li Ziqian found the opportunity to teach Link the secret skills that made him famous.

"Then I'll be disrespectful."

This thank you was unexpected, but it was the most in line with his heart.

Apart from the animal army, his own offensive methods are lackluster.

Now that he has learned Li Ziqian's stunt martial arts killing boxing, it can be said that he has an extra trump card.

And this skill is more powerful than other skills.

400 direct damage, 100 bleed damage.

A single skill can deal 500 damage, and it can also deal double damage to enemies in a 'weakened' or 'armor-piercing' state.

In the past, fighting against elite-level NPCs basically depended on skills to 'grind to death', but now with this skill, Link is equivalent to mastering a killing skill. As long as his HP is less than 500 points, he can kill him instantly.

Benjamin on the side was already stunned.

I didn't expect that Brother Lin could fight with Captain Li back and forth.

Ah Fu, who was roasting meat behind, was not surprised. After all, the boss was fighting with bare hands. If he could use an army of animals, then Captain Li would be very embarrassed.

"It's done, everyone can come and eat." Ah Fu finally seasoned the barbecue to stimulate the wonderful taste of the ingredients.

Li Ziqian and Link took off their gloves and came back side by side.

Benjamin glanced at Li Ziqian and said in shock, "Captain Li, you actually laughed!"

Benjamin rarely sees Li Ziqian smile, and when he is happy, he also has a sullen face.

The corners of his mouth showed a very reserved and untraceable smile.

With such a hearty smile today, Benjamin searched all over his memory, but he never saw it a few times.

Li Ziqian smiled and said, "Maybe it hasn't been so easy for a long time."

He had wanted to fight Link for a long time, and today he finally got his wish.

And also taught his own unique skills as a thank you, but a wish was fulfilled.

After lunch, everyone rested for a while and began to explore the Wind Howl Castle.

There are still traces of campfire burning in the hall of Wind Howl Castle, but the blackened charcoal fire has been covered with a layer of dust, and there are still footprints on the ground.

Although it was noon, the sunlight outside could only shine into the castle through sporadic gaps.

A ray of sunlight hit the ground, and the place where the beam of light was projected could clearly see the dust floating in the air, like a very active elves.

Li Ziqian lifted his arm clothes, revealing the portable detector on his arm guard.

Click the button, and soon a circle of radio waves swayed on the screen, and five bright spots gathered together appeared on the screen.

The waves continued to spread outward, quickly reaching the edges of the screen.

Benjamin turned into a curious baby and began to explore the second floor by stepping on the old stairs.

Link breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Li Ziqian's detection. He leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help but ask, "What's the detection standard for this thing?"

Seeing Li Ziqian take out the detector just now, Link's heart skipped a beat, for fear that the underground silver army ants would be discovered.

As a result, the detector only showed five bright spots, namely the four people and the treasure-hunting mouse on Link's shoulder.

He was very familiar with games in his previous life, but he was not very familiar with some of the military's scientific equipment in Shadu. Moreover, Li Ziqian was still the mainstay of the military, and the equipment he used was definitely not a common soldier.

"You said a life detector, this thing can detect the heartbeat of living beings, and it is the kind with enhanced power." Li Ziqian added: "After all, he is the only son of Commander Moon, so be careful when you go out to explore."

Link nodded to show his understanding and knew the principle of the detector, so he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Then keep up. Although there is no one here, I think this staircase has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is already a dilapidated building, but don't let any accidents happen."

Li Ziqian nodded and glanced at Wind Howl Castle.

This place used to be the headquarters for the battle with the Mechanic Gods, and the neighborhood was bombed. In addition, it has been abandoned for more than 40 years, and it has indeed belonged to the ranks of dangerous buildings.

"how about you?"

Link waved his hand and said, "This kind of exploration is not interesting. I strolled around the castle, and finally we gathered here to meet."

Li Ziqian looked at Benjamin, who had gone a little far, and nodded without thinking: "Okay, we will finally meet here."

After three or two steps, he got up and chased after him.

When the two of them left, Link also waved his hand to A Fu and said, "Okay, let's go out for a walk too."

Link and Alfred walked out of the castle, then went to an abandoned grass to find a secret passage and entered the underground passage.

Link came to the underground passage secret room with ease, and then opened the wall previously sealed by the silver army ants.

When the searchlight shone on the huge ant nest, Link's eyes widened.

I saw that the silver tree-shaped ant nest grew stronger and stronger, and the silver army ants on the ant nest were densely packed, and the number increased a lot compared to when they left more than a month ago.

Looking at the ground again, the 'food' left before was completely gone, all of which were brought to the silver queen by the army ants, and after eating, they became new army ants.

Link stepped forward, and the army ants on the ground receded like a tide, making way.

The army ants on the nest were also scattered, revealing the dormant silver queen in the center of the nest.

After eating dozens of kilograms of metal, the body of the silver ant queen became more and more metallic, shining under the searchlight. Will

Link stretched out his hand and touched the extremely huge abdomen of the silver ant queen. As soon as he touched the silver ant's tentacles, he swayed back and forth, sensing Link's arrival.

"A'Fu, take out everything you have prepared."

Ah Fu fixed the searchlight on the wall, then took off the backpack and poured out all the contents.

Countless metal clangs fell and piled up into small mountains.

From the big iron frame, to the small metal nut, and the safe made of various metals, almost all the metal products that can be seen on the market are placed here.

"This is food for you, and you will continue to work hard for the next period of time."

The silver ant queen seemed to understand Link's words, and the two small tentacles on her forehead tapped on the back of Link's hand.

After the silver army ants 'smelled' the metal, they were all excited.

Link glanced at the army ants all over the ground, took a bucket-sized container from Ah Fu's hand, and began to direct three silver army ants to walk into the bucket, eventually collecting more than 15,000 silver army ants.

Before leaving, Link affirmed the work of the silver army ants in rebuilding the castle, and at the same time gave the silver ants the task of 'violent soldiers'.

The metal brought this time is enough for the silver queen to eat for a period of time, and can continuously produce army ants every day.

Under normal conditions, the silver ant queen can produce 1,000 army ants per day. The violent soldier skill lasts for one day, and the production capacity is increased by 10 times. That is to say, 10,000 army ants can be produced in one day, which basically makes up for the loss taken away by Link today.

Link did not dare to stay in the underground cave for too long, for fear that Li Ziqian and Benjamin would discover the secrets of Wind Howl Castle.

The airtight water bucket containing silver army ants was packed in Ah Fu's reinforced backpack, and then the two walked out of the secret passage.

Not long after Link returned to the hall of Whistling Castle, Benjamin and Li Ziqian also came back together.

Benjamin had an extremely excited smile on his face. As soon as he saw Link in the distance, he hurriedly shouted: "Brother Lin, there is indeed something strange in the Whistling Castle!"

Link's heart skipped a beat, did Benjamin and Li Ziqian find something?

"We found several corpses during our exploration, and there are traces of shooting and fighting. There are blood stains in the corridor on the second floor. According to the results identified by Captain Li, this all happened more than a month ago, but the battle The corpse, the rotten flesh has all disappeared, and there are only white bones left, as if all the flesh and blood was eaten by something!"

"And Captain Li found out after inspection that the dead bones were all from the Mechanic Sect."

Benjamin was very excited.

Adventure is to discover something different.

"So I guess that the haunted dead people mentioned some time ago must have encountered some kind of creature." Benjamin said firmly.

Link didn't expect Benjamin's silly and sweet conjecture to be so close to the truth.

But what was even more shocking to him was that Li Ziqian was able to identify these people as Mechanicus by just a few skeletons.

"Didn't Benjamin say that the corpses have turned into bones, how can you tell that they belong to the Mechanicus?"

"Bone can talk. Among those people, there are those with unusually thick arm bones, and some with large bones that show signs of degeneration. It can be seen at a glance that it is the reason for wearing mechanical equipment. A few corpses are very characteristic. Fanatics of the Mechanicus. It's just that I can't figure out who they encountered and how they dared to chase down to Weeping Hollow."

Li Ziqian was born in the army. After examining several corpses, he found bullets and traces of battles. Finally, there were traces similar to steel brushes on the bones. After brushing all the flesh, every trace was very small. It's a characteristic of a group of small creatures.

Link nodded imperceptibly, this criminal investigation technique is really awesome.

Li Ziqian came down in a circle and almost completely restored the situation at that time.

"Then are we staying overnight?"

Before Li Ziqian could judge, Benjamin took the lead and shook his head: "If it's a swarm creature, then forget it, we can go back in the afternoon."

Li Ziqian also nodded and said: "If it is a human or a beast, I would like to see it. If it is an insect, our strength is like hitting cotton directly, and there is no chance of winning. Think carefully, we should go back before the evening. good."

In the afternoon, the four of them strolled outside for a while, and then returned to Shadu by car.

Link was very satisfied with this trip to Whistling Castle. After seeing the repair schedule of Whistling Castle, the silver army ants were working diligently every day. He also brought back 15,000 silver army ants.

Last time, more than 3,000 marching ants could already cause terrifying damage. This time, it has been directly increased by five times, and it can deal with more situations.

There are two more important points.

One is that he learned a unique skill from Li Ziqian, and the other is that he learned the news that the wasteland gang had entered Sandu.

After Link returned to Qilin Hall, he immediately sent the message to the third child, asking him to send the message and pay attention to the unidentified wasteland gang members who appeared on the site.

Fifteen thousand silver army ants were thrown into his yard by Link.

In an instant, these little guys burrowed into the soil and disappeared.

...

Uptown, Moros Building.

"Is this the kid's plan? It's wonderful! It's not worth waiting for so many days."

Moros flipped through the information in his hand and kept praising him.

Secretary Kohler stood aside with no expression on his face, but he was extremely upset.

The boss has never praised a person so much, let alone a light tone and a good mood.

He had read the report in advance when it was submitted.

It's nothing more than to firstly draw the salaries from the bottom of the pot, take away the underground vault of Baihetang without knowing it, and then find an alibi.

When the boss of Qinglong was ready to annex Baihetang, he joined Guilao, Mina and Lei Jiuzhi, and offered the Buddha through the gold borrowed from Baihetang. He obtained the qualification of the upper hall, and transformed himself into the new sixth hall of the Caoyun Gang.

Aren't these "basic behaviors not 6", why are the bosses so highly praised.

Moros flipped through all the documents again and shook his head.

"In less than a month, this guy has changed from a muddy slum to the head of the Qilin Church. It seems that the slum will be interesting in the future. After so long, Shadu will finally become interesting. now..."

"Kohler, what do you think?"

When Kohler was mentioned by Moros, his first reaction was to lower his head, consider for a moment and ask, "Boss, although I also think Link is good, I don't seem to be able to appreciate it so much. It's the number one and number two on the killer list in recent years. The Shining and the Nightmare did not arouse your interest."

Moros laughed and said: "A tool person from the academy, and a mouse who only dares to peep in his dreams, what can interest you. Speaking of which, how long did it take you to climb from a commoner to the boss of the hall? "

Kohler was silent for a moment and said, "Three months."

"How long did Link take?"

"20 days."

"Do you understand the difference?"

"Forgive your stupidity, I don't understand."

"You are no different from The Shining Nightmare, you only rely on personal bravery. Unlike Link, he is making the most of the situation and leveraging his strength. Don't think that he is only the leader of the hall now, but he already has a lot of labels behind him. John, the Platinum Hotel, the military, the gang, the Moon Shadow Council...he already has multiple identities. And all you see is the head of the house, and that's your problem."

"No matter how strong a person is, it's just a knife in the hands of the strong. Even if John is the king of killers, it's just a sharp blade on the road to the rise of the Platinum Hotel. The pattern of being a person must be big, and you need to be a force. Boss. When you are needed by many, many will keep you safe..."

"What do you think the sand will be like if I die?"

ps: Ask for a monthly pass and ask for a recommended ticket!
