Chapter 52 The Ultimate Summoned Beast

With this cry, an illusory and hazy figure loomed in the lair space.

In the blink of an eye, it condensed into an entity standing in front of Shen Yi's eyes, it was Lan Yan.

The timing of his appearance was so coincidental, it was exactly at the moment when the guard ants attacked Shen Yi, and the locusts shot all over the sky. With his appearance, these attacks instantly turned towards him.

He obviously didn't have any mental preparation before, and he was attacked just after being called by Shen Yi, but Lan Yan was taken aback. Seeing the five guard ants rushing at the same time, Lan Yan instinctively stretched out her right hand, flicked her five fingers, and unexpectedly shot out five tiny rays of light, which were bouncing on the five guard ants.

The five fierce and fierce guard ants were pushed away by Lan Yan's fingers five times in a row, like pushing a toy. Afterwards, Lan Yan shot out like lightning, transforming into palm shadows all over the sky, and unexpectedly caught all the hundreds of flying thorns without missing a single one.

With a gentle pinch, hundreds of flying thorns turned into flying ash in his hands at the same time.

This series of movements are simple and casual, as if they came at hand, but all of them are just right.

Shen Yi's eyes ejaculated/glowed up—is this the strength of the generals with difficulty five?

He didn't expect to see the action of a general-level adventurer, which was beyond his expectation...

With a wave of her hand to shake off those soldier ants, Lan Yan looked back at Shen Yi angrily: "What are you doing? Why are you looking for me in this kind of place at this time?"

As soon as he spoke, he knew he was asking nonsense.

Obviously, this is the reason why I am here now!

Even though he didn't know beforehand that Shen Yi had come to the ant's nest, he still quickly knew where he was at the moment, and even more quickly understood that he had inadvertently blocked a disaster for Shen Yi.

After firing the volley of hundreds of flying thorns at Shen Yi, a large number of soldier ants had already started to disperse - the queen was dead, and there was no need for this nest to exist.

In the empty cave, there were only five guardian ants left.

Shen Yi might still not be their opponent, but at this moment, Lan Yan couldn't watch Shen Yi being attacked.

Raising his hand slightly, a ball of golden light was released between his five fingers to cover the five guard ants, and the five guard ants were immediately unable to move.

Lan Yan looked at Shen Yi, but her eyes were filled with cold murderous intent: "How dare you take advantage of our agreement? I remember I warned you, Shen Yi, that the only reason you call me is related to city rules. I can't help you with anything else! How dare you use me to deal with the black ant nest..."

"Who said I used you to deal with black ants?" Shen Yi suddenly interrupted Lan Yan's speech.

Lan Yan was stunned by these words, Shen Yi had already picked up the box dropped by the queen ant on the ground, and then said slowly: "Look carefully first, I killed this queen ant by myself, and You have nothing to do with it? Why do you say that I called you here to help me complete the task? "

Lan Yan was stunned: "But just now..."

"I can handle the situation just now without you." Shen Yi blocked Lan Yan's mouth with one sentence, his expression was full of innocence, as if he really didn't have any intention of summoning Lan Yan to protect him from disaster.

It's true, Shen Yi just yelled at Lan Yan, and he never said anything about you helping me deal with the black ants from the beginning to the end. It was entirely because he, Lan Yan, appeared in the wrong position, blocking the attack of the black ants, and perhaps blocking Shen Yi's "counterattack"...

After such an analysis, the behavior just now looks like Lan Yan's meddling.

Anyway, for things that didn't happen, Shen Yi said what he said. He says he can stop it, but if you argue with him, it's just a waste of effort. Could it be that even if he couldn't stop him, he wouldn't allow others to "miscalculate"?

Therefore, Lan Yan was at a loss for words at this moment, so she could only stare at Shen Yi fiercely, and after a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "You cunning bastard."

Shen Yi giggled: "Don't be so angry, as long as I don't violate the rules, that's fine, right?"

Lan Yan sneered and said, "Forget it,

I don't need to pursue the fact that you used me to prevent disasters, but as I said, you can only call me when you find a problem with the rules. If you break the rules, I still have the power to punish you. "

Shen Yi's face was solemn: "I did find a loophole in the rules."

"What loophole?"

Shen Yi smiled, "I'll ask you a question first. Every time we go to the mission world, it takes at least three or five days, and it takes years and months. After such a long time, why are we not hungry after we return to the city?"

Lan Yan's face twitched, what kind of problem is this?

He had the urge to get mad, but he held back and replied angrily, "Could it be that you haven't eaten in the mission world?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Yi clapped his hands: "Yes, that's the problem. We did eat food in the mission world, but those things were not obtained after identification. Why didn't it disappear automatically after returning? If so , the longer we stay in the mission world, the stronger our hunger should be when we return."

This question was fairly level, Lan Yan hissed: "That's because those foods have already entered your body, and have undergone changes, becoming part of your body's energy."

"That is to say, what we eat in the mission world will be transformed into human energy and become one with the human body, so it can be brought back to the city even without approval. Is that so?"

"Yep."

"I know that there are some special products in some mission worlds, I mean, like witch potion." Shen Yi said as he took out a bottle of witch potion from the coat of arms: "Let me make a hypothesis. Suppose I I chose to kill Tiadoma and snatched the witch potion from her. Then the way to obtain it must be improper and not recognized, right?"

"That's right." Lan Yan already vaguely understood what Shen Yi wanted to ask.

Sure enough, Shen Yi said: "But what if I took it then?"

Lan Yan thought for a while and replied: "I understand what you mean. This is indeed a small loophole, but fortunately it will not cause a conflict of rules. We will test you when you come back. Since we did not cause any harm to you, We will not break the rules either. That is to say, the potion you obtained through unauthorized means, even if you take it at that time, is only valid in the mission world at that time."

"So that's the case, now I'll make another hypothesis."

Lan Yan frowned: "Where are there so many assumptions!"

"Don't worry, just listen first." Shen Yi said in a leisurely manner: "Suppose I let my summoned soldiers use potions obtained through informal channels, and then cancel the summoning and let them return to the space. According to the rules of the bloody city, the space manager Do not take any coercive actions against adventurers. The Medal of Honor is my personal trophy, you cannot forcibly break through to summon my soldiers, and you cannot make up for the drug effect. So how do you fix this loophole?"

Lan Yan's complexion changed, he thought for a while, and suddenly yelled: "Fuck! You're fucking idle and doing research on how to block us all day long, right? You can think of such outrageous things ? If you don’t complete a good mission path, do you have to follow a crooked path?”

Shen Yi smiled all over his face: "It seems that what you said hit your nails. So... it's okay or not."

Lan Yan took a few deep breaths in a row, tried to calm down her mood, and finally said after a while: "Forget it, this loophole is established. But the question is how many people will do this? The chance of such a thing happening is too small. Have Most of the guardians of special strengthening potions will designate a channel for you to obtain, and it may not be too difficult, and you don’t have to do it the other way around. You just deliberately found an excuse for me to help you block these ants.”

That's right, Shen Yi did find a small loophole.

But not all bugs are worthwhile.

It's as if you found a puppy hole by the wall of the school. Unless you have "special needs", why should there be a gate not to go through the dog hole?

This loophole itself doesn't have much meaning, or its only meaning is that it has found a perfect excuse for Shen Yi to call on Lan Yan, putting himself in the position of not violating the rules.

Therefore, Shen Yi also chuckled at this moment: "Then... Anyway, I did find a loophole in the rules, so I have the right to call you, and it does not violate the agreement between you and me and the rules of the city, right?"

Lan Yan nodded helplessly: "Yes, that's right. My answer to what you just said is: If you can really plunder the strengthening potion in this way, then congratulations, you can have it. Anyway, as long as you You don't affect the rule conflict, so it's easy to say... I said that when you played games before, didn't you like to find system bugs?"

When she said this, the anger on Lan Yan's face had completely disappeared, instead she looked at Shen Yi with great interest, as if she was looking at some little monster.

"No, it's just that before entering the bloody city, I desperately researched legal loopholes... Actually, it's much easier to find than system bugs." Shen Yi shrugged.

"No wonder." Lan Yan laughed: "You are one of the funniest adventurers I have seen in the years since I entered the bloody city. How dare you break into the double C-level ant nest to kill the queen alone? Using the space manager to get you out of the way, fine, you did a really good job."

When it came to the latter part, his words were actually full of appreciation, for Shen Yi's behavior of "using" him, not only did not blame him, but he greatly appreciated it.

However, what is even more surprising is Shen Yi's performance. He doesn't seem to be surprised by Lan Yan's attitude at all, but it is more of an expression that should be like this.

One must know that Shen Yi's behavior at this moment is calling Lan Yan as a summoned beast.

It is unacceptable for anyone to call the former level 5 general and the current space manager around as a summoned beast, but Lan Yan doesn't care at all.

What he really cared about and was angry with seemed to be whether Shen Yi violated the rules.

As long as he didn't violate it, it's easy to say anything.

Not only that, after answering all of Shen Yi's questions, Lan Yan was not even in a hurry to leave.

Looking at the ant corpses all over the place, Lan Yan suddenly let out a long sigh: "At the beginning... when we were adventurers in the ordinary area, we also broke into this black ant nest. At that time, I stood where you are now .”

He pointed to the location of Shen Yi, and then pointed not far away: "The purple sand is over there, the crow, the red dragon, and the yellow crane are over there, and the blue bird and the white snake are in charge of the rear defense. The seven of us fought together and fought some battles." After half an hour, I finally killed the queen ant, and I paid a huge price..."

Lan Yan whispered softly, memories of the past flashed in her eyes. His words were slow and powerful: "Perhaps in the eyes of most people, life in the bloody city is cruel and bloody, but one day, when you come to the end of the road, look back and you will find that there are many things worth cherishing." thing."

"We used to be obsessed with killing and wandering between life and death, hated or even hated the world we lived in, and wanted to go out at all costs. But when we step out one day, maybe we will find out what we expected Freedom is not necessarily better than the environment we are in now..."

Shen Yi didn't say a word, just looked at Lan Yan and listened to him.

Lan Yan didn't say anything, as if the expression just now was just a momentary feeling.

He looked at Shen Yi: "You are not the first adventurer who likes the bloody city, but you are definitely the first person who never takes the bloody city seriously, only regards it as a mountain and tries to conquer it. Great Most adventurers who can accept the existence of the bloody city, what they value is the free atmosphere here, the unconstrained environment, and the atmosphere of free killing. But you are happy to challenge the limit. This makes you as acceptable as them Here, you can grow rapidly without losing your way... I am very optimistic about you, Shen Yi."

"and then?"

"And then..." Lan Yan pondered for a moment: "Anyway, you have to admit a fact, Shen Yi...you used me."

Shen Yi didn't answer, he didn't know if Lan Yan would have evidence to punish him immediately if he admitted this fact, fortunately Lan Yan didn't expect him to admit it, he just continued to say: "For your use, I You can choose to ignore it, or you can choose to retaliate. Although I can't kill you openly, I am also the manager of the space anyway, and I still have certain permissions. For example... some bosses in the mission world may be obtained after killing, You may also not get some rewards; for example, in the process of performing tasks, some accidents may or may not occur; for example, after you complete the task perfectly, when you make an organic choice, there may be some accidents. Good rewards appear, or there may not be..."

He looked at Shen Yi: "I mean, as long as I want, I can still punish you. These punishments may not only affect you, but may also affect your teammates."

"What do you want?" Shen Yi asked directly.

Lan Yan smiled: "This time you owe me a favor, Shen Yi. But it's okay, you must know that not only space managers can help adventurers, sometimes things can be reversed. It's like an adventure with difficulty two Adventurers are also valuable to those who are on the fourth difficulty level. Adventurers are also of value to managers."

He looked at Shen Yi: "Whether it's me or Zisha, we've all helped you. Maybe one day in the future, we will need your help. I hope that when that day comes, you won't reject us."

Shen Yi nodded: "I understand, as long as it does not violate my principles, I am obliged to do so."

"Principle...the so-called principle is just an excuse to ask for a price." Lan Yan sneered in a low voice: "Then, there is one last thing left now. You know I can't help you kill those five guardian ants, but it's up to you In your current situation, you can't be their opponent at all, after I'm gone, how will you solve them?"

"It's just me, of course not their opponents. But what if it's not just me?"

Lan Yan was stunned, suddenly realized something, and looked back outside the cave.

In the distance of the passage, human voices could be heard faintly.

It was the gardener, they and Shen Yi's paratroopers who were groping along the emptied ant nest passage to look for Shen Yi. The dialogue between Shen Yi and Lan Yan effectively bought Shen Yi the precious time he needed most.

At this moment, he is no longer fighting alone.

Lan Yan laughed loudly: "It turns out that your real purpose is to use me to buy you time to wait for rescue! I didn't expect that I not only helped you solve the temporary crisis, but also helped you delay the time until the helper came. Well done, Shen Yi. Remember, you owe me a favor!"

As he spoke, his figure gradually faded until he disappeared.

With Lan Yan gone, the five guardian ants finally regained their ability to move.

However, at this moment, Shen Yi no longer had to care about the attacks of the guard ants.

Because he is no longer fighting alone!
