Chapter 355 Map and Visitors
Jiang Qian put down the stack of hand-drawn geological maps and fell into deep thought.
This set of maps depicts and marks the same geological features from different geographical dimensions, but there is no text information showing the source of these drawings.
Jiang Qian's father Jiang Xuesong was a geographer during his lifetime. He had seen similar drawings in his father's study more than once. Assuming that this set of geological maps was made by his father, what was his father trying to convey to him?
At this moment, a moving shadow looming on the west side of the old house aroused Jiang Qian's vigilance through the Beidou button camera.
…
Beijing, Biting Winery under Wanzhong Group.
Ji Ming, who was walking with Elder Helian through a special passage to the VIP banquet hall, answered the phone on the way.
Then, he put down his phone, explained the reason to Helian, the elder beside him within a minute, turned around, and left the winery in front of everyone.
The dignitaries of the Dark Night Clan who were in charge of the reception in front of the banquet hall were stunned:
"No way? Jin Ping's colleagues are brave enough. It's okay that the rising star Qianlong Wuyong didn't come, but even his superior left the table in the middle of the meal? This really didn't give face to Elder Diexue..."
"No way, if there is no face, it should be Elder Diexue who didn't give face to us invited dignitaries, and he didn't even show up at the opening ceremony."
"Hey, you are really good at making excuses for others! It's a pity that Elder Diexue doesn't think so."
...
The alley on the west side of the Jiang family's old house.
A short and fat figure was quietly moving forward along the shadow formed by the wall of the house.
His movements were very cautious, even if it would sacrifice his forward speed, he didn't dare to reveal the slightest trace. However, he still couldn't escape the capture of the Beidou button camera that covered this area like stars.
When he was only a hundred meters away from Jiang's house, he stopped suddenly.
He took out a bellflower from his chest and said to him, "Master Protector, I'm exposed..."
When he said this, there was a hint of trembling in his voice, as if he was trembling slightly due to some kind of nervous emotion. At the same time, he subconsciously clenched the bellflower and almost broke the slender grass stem!
The reason was simple. In the middle of the rugged dirt road ahead, a person was walking slowly.
Under the moonlight.
This person was tall and straight, handsome, with a cold and pale face, looking forward with empty eyes, and a gloomy and indifferent expression.
"He is coming towards me... The distance is less than 100 meters, please give orders, Master Protector."
The short and fat man said quickly, and he swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and cold sweat slid down his forehead.
Such a person suddenly appeared on the night road. Even if he was not wearing white clothes and his long hair was loose, it would be enough to make people's legs weak, not to mention that this place is an old city with few people.
But the man still couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Are you sure it's the target? Night Saint Envoy."
"Confirmed, it's the same as the characteristics of Qianlong Wuyong in the photo."
The bellflower swayed in the wind, and the reply came, making the four-state·complete Night Walker refocus on the order of the protector.
"Take it away, by the order of the Holy Mother."
"...Yes."
After the brief communication, the Night Walker put away the bellflower and stared at the target who approached actively-Qianlong Wuyong.
Due to premature exposure, he could not control the target by sneak attacks, calculations and other more covert means. At present, a showdown is inevitable.
Although in the structural rules of the sacred mountain, no one except the Holy Mother and the protector can take the initiative to attack the "crown prince", that is beyond the authority and serious guilt.
But the Holy Mother's order is another situation.
Qianlong Wuyong's figure is getting closer and closer.
The inexplicable tension also makes the Night Walker more uneasy.
He aimed at the right moment, and when Qianlong Wuyong was only ten steps away from him, he bowed and knelt on one knee!
"Meet His Royal Highness, the Prince of Chu, the Night Walker of the Shenshan believer, respectfully invites His Royal Highness to return..."
He had intended to use this humble and submissive etiquette to make the target Qianlong Wuyong relax his vigilance, so as to suddenly launch a surprise attack and win with one strike.
Of course, if the other party readily agreed, then things would be even simpler.
However, who would have thought that his awkward tone and uncontrolled speaking speed would completely reveal his panic at the moment.
No, strictly speaking, when Qianlong Wu gradually approached, fear and anxiety entangled him like a shadow, making him feel invisible pressure pouring from the top of his head, and a dark shadow deeply enveloped him.
"Oh, your name is Ye Xing Lang Jun."
Qianlong Wuyong raised his almost pale face and sneered. His pair of empty and terrifying eyes seemed to suck him in like a bottomless pit: "Please let me return, where?"
Ye Xing Lang Jun resisted the physical discomfort and replied: "Of course...Shenshan!"
"Oh."
Qianlong Wuyong raised his eyelids slightly, and his pale face looked even more creepy: "What if I don't agree?"
...
Write: Ye Xing Lang Jun.
Note output: "A loyal dung beetle."
...
"Don't agree?"
Ye Xing Langjun suppressed his emotions and said harshly: "Then don't blame me for taking you away by force."
But Qianlong Wuyong smiled even more deeply.
This kind of smile on his pale and cold face is really hard not to make people's backs cold.
He didn't reply, and shook out the pen from his sleeve. With the accelerated pace, he and the weapon rushed towards Ye Xing Langjun at the same time!
He was just a newcomer who had just been promoted to the fourth state and complete body... Ye Xing Langjun was confident and simply let go of his hands and feet. The armor quickly covered his whole body from behind. He swung his strong and agile arm and grabbed the pen swung by Jiang Qian! The other hand swept towards Jiang Qian's face.
His movements were extremely precise and solid, but he was strongly shaken at the critical moment of victory, and the speed and strength of his shot were weakened.
This flaw was completely seen through by Qianlong Wuyong. He dodged the blow as lightly as a swallow, and his body was as free as a master who had practiced martial arts for many years. Dodging and attacking seemed to be integrated into muscle memory, and he didn't care to think at all.
He also took advantage of the opponent's surprise and wiped the opponent's neck with his alien fangs...
It was an accidental achievement.
However, Ye Xinglangjun was at least a four-state·complete body.
This "unexpected attack" was restrained by the tough body of the dung beetle, and it failed to kill with one blow, but it also made the opponent relax his grip on the pen.
In the back and forth, although neither side took advantage, compared with Qianlong Wuyong who was calm and unhurried, Ye Xinglangjun's mentality had become obviously unbalanced: nervous, cramped, and fearful.
His fighting will, which had never wavered, began to sink like drowning.
It was a close call! What happened, isn't this guy a novice who just entered the powerful? How could it bring me such an inexplicable sense of oppression... Ye Xing Langjun realized that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of a way to break it for a while, so he had to bite the bullet and continue to fight.
But even if his mentality was unbalanced, he never thought of losing.
Because today there were more than one holy envoys who came to "respectfully invite" the crown prince to return.
However, just as he was thinking this, the attack from Qianlong Wuyong came one after another like a broken bamboo. The agile moves of his hands were unpredictable, and the bite force from the fangs was strange and amazing. His alien armor couldn't withstand the second "bite" and cracks appeared under the perfect bite of the fangs!
Qianlong Wuyong's attack was not ostentatious, but every move was deadly and ruthless.
Ye Xing Langjun couldn't help but release the beast king!
But he still retained a trace of rationality: if he really released the beast king, not only would the mission of inviting the crown prince be a complete failure, but even he and his colleagues would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Jinping branch...
"Your Highness, the crown prince, those who have the sacred mountain are not afraid of heaven and earth! Are you really not curious or eager... to become the master of the sacred mountain?"
The steps of Qianlong Wuyong on the opposite side stopped, and his pale face revealed a sinister smile, which made the sacred mountain envoy a little confused.
Then, a young voice came from behind him, almost close to the eardrum:
"Of course I am curious, but I still care more about the 'risk'."
The Night Walker turned around suddenly, and he saw that his alien limb with sharp spikes moved from his arm...
"Uh!"
The blood spurted out from the fracture of the alien limb and stretched for several meters, but the initiator was not stained with blood.
