206 The return of the howling Castle

Thank me?

Lin Ke was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood what Li Zijun meant.

This was to thank him for saving Benjamin in the library.

Before this, he had only thanked her verbally. He had never found a good opportunity to thank her formally.

In addition, link was now the hall Master of Qilin Hall in the slums. If he thanked them as a military officer, he might end up doing something wrong.

Thus, taking advantage of this expedition, Li Zijun found an opportunity to teach link the secret art that she was famous for.

“Then it would be impolite of me to refuse.”

Link did not expect this, but it suited his intentions.

Other than the animal army, his own offensive methods were lacking.

now that he had learned li zijun’s ultimate technique, the military killing fist, it could be said that he had an additional trump card.

Moreover, this skill was so powerful that it far surpassed the other skills.

400 points of direct damage and 100 points of bleeding damage.

One skill could deal 500 damage, and double the damage to enemies in the ‘weaken’ or ‘Armor Break’ state.

In the past, when he fought with elite-level NPCs, he basically used the skill ‘wear them out’ to death. However, with this skill, it was as if link had mastered a killing skill. As long as his HP was less than 500 points, he could kill them in an instant.

Benjamin who was watching from the side was dumbfounded.

He didn’t expect brother Lin to be able to go head to head with Captain li.

Fu, who was roasting meat behind, wasn’t surprised. After all, the boss was fighting with his bare hands. If he could use an Army of animals, Captain li would be in a very difficult position.

“It’s done. Everyone can come over and eat.” Ah Fu added a final layer of seasoning to the barbeque to stimulate the wonderful taste of the ingredients.

Li Zijun and link removed their gloves and returned side by side.

Benjamin glanced at Li Zijun and could not help but be dumbfounded. “Captain Li, you’re actually smiling!”

It was rare for Benjamin to see Li Zijun smile. When she encountered happy things, her face would be tense, and the corners of her mouth would reveal an extremely reserved and imperceptible smile.

Benjamin had only seen such a bright smile a few times even after searching his memory.

“Maybe it’s because I haven’t felt so relaxed in a long time,” Li Zijun said with a smile.

He had wanted to fight link for a long time, and his wish had finally come true today.

Furthermore, he had even imparted his own ultimate technique as thanks, fulfilling a wish of his.

After lunch, the group took a short break and started exploring howling heights.

There were still traces of a campfire in the main hall of howling heights Castle, but the blackened charcoal was covered in a layer of dust. There were also footprints on the ground.

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

A ray of sunlight shone on the ground, and the dust in the air could be clearly seen from where the light pillar was. They looked like lively elves.

Li Zijun lifted up her sleeve, revealing the portable detector on her arm guard.

He pressed the button, and soon a circle of electric waves appeared on the screen, and five bright spots gathered together.

The radio waves continued to spread outwards and soon reached the edge of the screen.

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

Link heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Li Zijun’s detection. He went up to take a look and couldn’t help but ask, ” “What’s the detection standard for this thing?”

When he saw Li Zijun take out her detector, Link’s heart skipped a beat. He was afraid that the silver army ants underground would be discovered.

The detector only showed five bright spots. They were the four of them and the treasure-hunting mouse on Link’s shoulder.

He was very familiar with the game in his previous life, but he was not very familiar with some of the scientific equipment in the Shandu military. Moreover, Li Zijun was the mainstay of the military, so the equipment she used was definitely not common goods like those used by ordinary soldiers.

you mean the life detector? this thing can detect the heartbeat of living things, and it’s the kind with increased power. After Li Zijun finished speaking, she added, ” he’s commander Munn’s only son after all, so he should be more careful when he’s out on an adventure.

link nodded in understanding. now that he knew how the detector worked, he heaved a sigh of relief.

follow me then. Although there’s no one here, I can see that the stairs have been in disrepair for a long time. It’s already a dangerous building. Don’t let anything happen to it.

Li Ziqi nodded and glanced at wind howl Castle.

this place used to be the command post for the battle with the machinery faith, and the surroundings had been bombarded. in addition, it had been abandoned for more than 40 years, and it was indeed considered a dangerous building.

“What about you?”

Link waved his hand. this kind of adventure is boring. I’ll walk around the castle. We’ll meet here.

Li Zijun looked at Benjamin, who had already walked a little far away, and nodded without thinking, ” “Alright, we’ll meet up here at the end.”

After saying that, he took two or three steps and chased after her.

After the two left, link waved to Ah Fu and said, ” “Alright, let’s go out and take a walk.”

link and fu walked out of the castle and found a secret passage in an abandoned patch of grass. they entered the underground tunnel.

Link arrived at the secret underground passage with ease. He then opened the wall that the silver army ants had sealed off.

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

The Silver Tree-like ant nest was growing larger and larger, and the silver army ants were densely packed on the nest. Their numbers had increased a lot since they had left more than a month ago.

Looking at the ground again, the ‘food’ left behind had completely disappeared. It had all been brought to the silver ant queen by the Army ant, and after eating it, it became a new army ant.

link stepped forward, and the army ants on the ground retreated like a tide, making way for him.

The Army ants on the nest also spread out, revealing the sleeping Silver Queen ant in the center of the nest.

after eating dozens of kilograms of metal, the silver ant queen’s body glowed even more with a metallic luster, shining under the searchlight. General

link reached out and touched the queen’s huge belly. the moment he touched the queen’s tentacles, they swayed back and forth, sensing link’s arrival.

“Fu, take out all the things you’ve prepared.”

Fu fixed the searchlight on the wall, then took off her backpack and poured out everything inside.

Countless pieces of metal fell and piled up into a small mountain.

From large metal frames to small metal nuts and safes made of various metals, almost all the metal products that could be seen on the market were placed here.

this is the food I brought for you. You’ll have to continue working hard for the next period of time.

The silver ant queen seemed to understand Link’s words. The two small antennae on its head tapped the back of Link’s hand.

After the silver army ants ‘sniffed’ the metal, they all became excited.

Link glanced at the Army ants on the ground and took a bucket-sized container from Fu. He then directed the three types of silver army ants into the container. In the end, he had collected more than 15000 silver army ants.

before leaving, link affirmed the silver ants ‘work of rebuilding the castle. at the same time, he gave the silver ant queen the ” brutal army ” mission.

the metal he brought this time was enough for the silver ant queen to eat for a period of time, and it could produce an endless stream of army ants every day.

Under normal circumstances, the silver ant queen could produce 1000 army ants a day. The Army burst skill lasted for a day, and its production capacity was increased tenfold. In other words, it could produce 10000 army ants a day. It basically made up for the losses that link had taken today.

Link did not dare to stay in the secret underground cave for too long, for fear that Li Zijun and Benjamin would discover the secret of the castle.

The sealed water bucket containing the silver army ants was placed in Fu’s enhancement backpack, and the two of them walked out of the secret passage.

Not long after link returned to the main hall of Wind howl Castle, Benjamin and Li Zijun also returned.

Benjamin had an excited smile on his face. When he saw link in the distance, he hurriedly shouted, ” “Brother Lin, there’s indeed something strange going on in howl Castle!”

Link’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Benjamin and Li Zijun had discovered something?

“During our exploration, we found several bodies and traces of shooting and fighting. there were still bloodstains on the corridor of the second floor. According to Captain Li’s appraisal, all of this happened more than a month ago. However, the corpses and rotten flesh had all disappeared, leaving only white bones, as if they had been eaten by something!”

also, after Captain Li’s inspection, he found that the dead Skeletons were all from the machinery faith.

Benjamin was extremely excited.

The purpose of an adventure was to discover something different.

so I’m guessing that the haunted deaths at night some time ago were probably due to encountering some kind of creature. benjamin said with certainty.

Link did not expect Benjamin’s silly guess to be so close to the truth.

However, he was even more shocked that Li Zijun could actually recognize that these people were from the machinery faith just by looking at a few skeletons.

didn’t Benjamin Say that the corpses had all turned into bones? how can you tell that they are from the machinery faith? ”

“Bones can talk. Among those people, some of them had extremely thick bones in their arms, and some of them had signs of degeneration in their large bone armors. It was obvious at a glance that they were wearing mechanical equipment. The corpses were very special, and it was obvious that they were fanatics of the machinery faith. i just can’t figure out who they encountered and how they dared to chase them all the way to the weeping valley.”

Li Zijun was from the Army. After examining a few corpses, she found traces of bullets and battle. Finally, there were traces of steel brush-like marks on the bones. After brushing off all the flesh, each trace was very small. At a glance, it was obvious that it was a sign of some kind of small creatures.

link nodded imperceptibly. this criminal investigation spell was really impressive.

Li Zijun went around and almost completely restored the situation at that time.

“Are we still staying the night?”

Without waiting for Li Zijun’s judgment, Benjamin shook his head and said, ” if it’s a pack of creatures, then forget it. We can go back in the afternoon.

li zijun also nodded and said,”if it’s a human or a beast, i’d like to see it.” If it’s an insect, with our strength, it’ll be like hitting cotton. We have no chance of winning. After careful consideration, it’s better for us to rush back before evening.”

In the afternoon, the four of them strolled around for a while more before they took a car back to shadu.

Link was very satisfied with this trip to the castle. He looked at the repair progress. The silver army ants were working hard every day. he even brought back 15000 silver army ants.

Previously, the 3000-odd army ants could already deal a terrifying amount of damage. This time, the number had increased by five times, and they could deal with more situations.

There were two more key points.

One reason was that he had learned a secret technique from Li Zijun, and the other was that he had found out about the wasteland gang’s entry into Shandu.

after link returned to the qilin hall, he immediately sent a message to third brother to keep an eye out for any unidentified wasteland gang members who appeared in his territory.

15,000 silver army ants were released into Link’s courtyard.

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

……

Uptown, Moros building.

“So this is that kid’s plan? wonderful, wonderful! I didn’t wait for so many days in vain.”

Moroes looked at the information in his hand and kept praising the man.

secretary kohler stood at the side. no expression could be seen on his face, but he was extremely unhappy.

the boss had never complimented someone so unrestrainedly before, let alone in such a light-hearted tone and happy mood.

He had already read the report before he submitted it.

It was nothing more than a plan to take the root of the problem, to take away the underground vault of White Crane Hall without anyone knowing, and then to find an alibi.

When Green Dragon’s boss was ready to take over White Crane Hall, he joined hands with old turtle, mina, and Lei Jiuzhi. Through the gold of White Crane Hall, he was qualified to become the new sixth Hall of the water transport gang.

Weren’t these ‘basic principles’? why did the boss praise them so much?

Moroes looked through all the documents again and shook his head.

“In less than a month, this guy went from a bumpkin in the slums to the hall Master of the Qilin Hall. It seemed like the slums were going to be interesting in the future. After such a long time, the sand City is finally going to become interesting, Yingluo!”

“Kohler, what do you think?”

Kohler’s first reaction was to lower his head after being pointed out by Moros. He thought for a moment and asked, ” “Boss, although I think link is not bad, he doesn’t deserve such praise. even the shining and the incubus, who ranked first and second on the assassin list in recent years, didn’t arouse your interest.”

Moroes chuckled and said, ” one is the Academy’s tool. The other is a rat who only dares to peep in his dreams. What’s there to be interested in? ” Speaking of which, how long did it take you to climb from a commoner to the head of the hall?”

“Three months,” Kohler said after a moment of silence.

“How long did it take link?”

“20 days.”

“do you understand the difference?”

“forgive this subordinate for being slow-witted and not understanding.”

“You’re no different from a shining nightmare, you’re just relying on your individual courage. Link, on the other hand, was different. He was taking advantage of the situation and borrowing power from others. Although he was only a Hall Master now, he already had many tags behind him. John, The Platinum Hotel, the military, the gangs, and the moon Shadow Council already had multiple identities. And what you see is only a Hall Master. That’s where your problem lies.”

“No matter how strong an individual is, he’s just a knife in the hands of the strong. Even if John was the King of Assassins, he was just a sharp blade on the rise of The Platinum Hotel. One had to have a broad outlook in life, and one had to be the boss of a force. When you’re needed by many people, they’ll protect you!”

“What do you think will happen to the sand City if I die?”
