Chapter 708 Secret Investigation
Late at night, outside the City of Shadows.
In the middle of a piece of man-eating bushes, a group of black shadows suddenly appeared with a "bang", and the black shadow just hit a swaying piranha, smashing the piranha directly.
The pungent smell of blood suddenly emanated from the black shadow. The smell of blood seemed to have the strongest allure, which excited all the man-eating plants in this man-eating bush.
The tough branches covered with sharp thorns, and the banana leaves that flowed with strong corrosive liquid suddenly moved quickly from a static state, and all of them were wrapped around the black shadow. In just an instant, the black shadow disappeared. , there are more layers of entangled branches and leaves, wrapping the black shadow into a human shape.
The night is cool, time passes silently...
The man-eating plants wrapped around the shadows writhed and tore desperately, becoming tighter and tighter, as if they wanted to strangle, grind, and devour the creatures inside...
"Kaka..." A strange voice came from the center of the humanoid creature, and the tough branches that were getting tighter and tighter gradually softened and retreated at a faster speed.
"Kaka..." The branches and leaves and the rhizomes of the piranhas retreated slowly, and with this sound, they suddenly fell apart and scattered all over the ground in pieces. I feel that every ounce of strength is ten times more difficult to use, and my eyelids suddenly seem to be many times heavier, and it becomes extremely difficult to even keep my eyes open.
After finally sitting cross-legged on the spot and barely regaining some strength, Han Shuo's mind moved. Two external avatars flew out of the body at the same time, watching everything around vigilantly from the left to the right.
Without returning to the Shadow City right away, the two external avatars took their bodies and found a hidden underground cave in the mountains outside the Shadow City. Carefully covering up all the traces, the two external avatars were arranged outside the cave again. Among them, the incarnation outside the body who cultivated the power of death left silently.
In the dead of night, the City of Shadows also lost the hustle and bustle of the day, and seemed very quiet.
Came to the outside of the city wall next to the Lavers family. The incarnation outside the body of the death department silently released a few monsters. The main body did not dare to enter the city. Do not pass through several city gates. Entering the city from other areas had to face the merciless blows that enveloped the surrounding enchantment towers. Han Shuo was not as confident as he could avoid it safely. Can only stay outside the city.
The demon in the void state can pass over the enchantment towers that attack entities. Han Shuo was lurking in the dark. Observe the surrounding situation through several demon heads.
The target is determined to be the Lavers family. The devil crossed the barrier tower's defense halfway. Came straight to the Lavers family.
The barriers in the Lavers family are more detailed. But it can't prevent the devil from entering. Several devils circled the Lavers family. They quickly found the rooms of Cage and Eve. Two devils lurk there closely. Secretly spying on the two people's every move.
"Brother, why doesn't father let us leave the Lavers family?" The gods on the continent of the gods have very little need for sleep. Usually even late at night. Everyone often spends time in meditation and cultivation. And this time. Eve obviously hasn't practiced meditation yet. Complaining to Cage.
"Father's decision naturally has his reasons. We just need to be obedient." Cage looked very calm. Glancing at the disturbed Eve. Solemnly said: "Father is really angry this time. I'm sure. We'd better be obedient during this time. Don't make any more troubles. Understand?"
"But, that guy ruined three of our shops, and we were all bullied. Don't we want to take revenge?" Eve's voice was a little softer, and she rarely saw Cage being so peaceful, knowing that things would definitely be wrong. Simple.
"Don't worry, my father said he will handle it!" Keqisen sneered, and said, "I heard from Shen Wei that my father drank a lot tonight. Do you know what it means for father to drink?"
Eve was startled, then seemed to think of something, and said overjoyed, "You mean...you mean...?"
Nodding his head, Cage affirmed: "Someone is going to be in trouble!"
"That's great, I knew my father wouldn't let us suffer in vain, ha... that kid... we probably won't see him again..." Eve's mood improved a lot, her face was full of tears. Cool smile.
The two devils who had been spying on Cage and Eve took it back, and retreated silently towards Han Shuo, who was lurking outside the city wall.
There is no need to continue to investigate. Han Shuo already knows who attacked him tonight, and the strong smell of alcohol on that person will not be fake. Compare it with Keqi and Eve's speech, Han Shuo Immediately affirmed the identity of the assailant - Avery, Chief of the Divine Guard Five!
He understands that Avery is going to kill him tonight. Once he dies, even if the Saint family guesses that Avery made the land, he probably won't make a big move against Avery because of him. After all, Avery is The five chief guards represent the entire Lavers family.
The living self may still have some weight, but the dead self is worthless at all. A dead person who cannot refine medicine is not worthy of the Saint family's big fight. It is estimated that Carmelita will help him revenge? Han Shuo thought to himself mockingly.
However, if Carmelita doesn't know who her enemy is, how can she help herself get revenge?
A series of thoughts flashed through Han Shuo's mind. Avery's drunken thunderbolt seemed reckless, but after careful consideration, Han Shuo realized how decisive and ruthless this person was. What he did was definitely not aimless. After careful analysis, he pretended to be drunk.
How could a highgod be anesthetized by alcohol?
After thinking through all this, Han Shuo suddenly felt a little cold in his heart, and he no longer dared to underestimate any upper god of the Shadow City. Avery is just so scary, so other gods who are stronger than Avery and have a higher status The head of the guard and the patriarchs of the major families. Wouldn't it be more terrifying?
Han Shuo, who had recently been on fire in the Shadow City because of potions, suddenly calmed down, and immediately realized that because of the recent smooth sailing, he had underestimated the powerhouses in the Shadow City. It was also because he miscalculated the horror of the Avery and Lavers family that he was almost killed tonight!
"Hey!" Han Shuo whispered. The devil, who was retreating from the Lavers family, suddenly found a shadow outside Cage and Eve's house. The shadow and the darkness were completely integrated and twisted gently. Seems to be looking for something...
"Where is it, there must be something nearby, what is it..." The five shadows, which Avery called No. 3, looked around in the dark, trying to find the unknown threat lurking in the dark, but they couldn't find it. Can't find it.
After a soft cry. Han Shuo quickly made the devil back, and found the shadow in the dark place through the devil Han Shuo, and immediately confirmed that it was a mid-god with superb strength and extremely good at hiding.
Han Shuo, who had roughly guessed the truth of the matter, was afraid that the devil would be discovered if he stayed there, so he made the devil retreat silently without any complications.
That night, the incarnation of the death system silently returned to the cave where the main body was. I don't plan to return to Shadow City for the time being. In a blink of an eye. Two months passed.
With the efforts of Anita, Tianji Pharmacy has already been decorated with a new look. These days, people from the major families came over one after another, constantly asking Anita about Han Shuo's whereabouts. Desperately want to buy new potions.
Those who bought a few bottles of potions from Tianji Pharmacy last time, many of them have tried the magical effects of the potion, and everyone is full of praise. They spread the magic of Tianji Pharmacy shops everywhere, and more and more wealthy families in the Shadow City The younger brother, began to pay attention to Tianji Pharmacy, a small shop that has just emerged.
Anita didn't know anything about what happened that night, and he couldn't give everyone a satisfactory answer to Han Shuo's mysterious disappearance. If he is not there, where can he go to buy medicine?
Another month has passed, and the reputation of Tianji Pharmacy in the Shadow City is getting bigger and bigger. Seeing that Han Shuo has not appeared for a long time, the major families began to become suspicious. Some families even began to use their own power to go around the Shadow City. They went to search for traces of Han Shuo in the mountain range.
Carmelita, who came out of the retreat, her face complexion became more and more normal. Carmelita, who was originally extremely ugly, was far from the word "beauty" because of the changes in her complexion and skin Relationship, but it's just plain ugly.
Excited, Carmelita had already thought about how to repay Han Shuo, but it was a pity that Han Shuo's mysterious disappearance made her very disappointed. I heard from Anita that when Han Shuo returned that day, he had already collected all the medicinal materials. As a result, Carmelita became anxious.
By the fourth month, not only Carmelita, but all the children of the major families who were planning to buy the potion from Han Shuo almost believed that something must have happened to Han Shuo. It is believed that Han Shuo may have been killed.
Carmelita didn't believe it!
She returned from the Miasma Cloud Mountain Range together with Han Shuo. She had heard from Han Shuo that he was excellent at saving his life. In the harsh situation of the Miasma Cloud Mountain Range, Han Shuo, a lower god, was able to come out alive and brought her with him. , Let her deeply believe in this!
Carmelita was really in a hurry, and gave the order to let the saint guards of the Saint family search for Han Shuo in various places, not only in the Shadow City, but even some towns and fortresses under the Shadow City have received Carmelita's help. Under her leadership, a big search for Han Shuo is going on like a raging fire...
On the other side, Andre, an important figure in the Sainte family, started to investigate all this.
"What's the matter?" Andre squinted his eyes, his left eye was dark purple, revealing a cold killing intent. If Han Shuo were here at this time, he would definitely find that Andre and Heping are so amiable and amiable now. For a moment, it was like two different people!
A man wearing a white mask knelt down in front of Andre. There were only a pair of empty eyes under the white mask. It looked like a lifeless corpse, giving people a very uncomfortable and inhuman feeling.
"That night, Master Avery of the Lavers family drank heavily!" The old-fashioned and indifferent voice came from the mouth of the white mask, and it sounded that there was no emotion mixed in it.
"Keep talking!" Andre's dark purple left pupils suddenly closed slightly, and he just looked at the man with his right eyes.
"Avery's son Cage has been to five places before, and the two talked for a while in the secret room, and then Cage returned to the Lavers family, and has not left the Lavers family until today!" The voice without emotion suddenly After a pause, he continued: "However, some eyewitnesses said that Avery never took a step away from the building at the fifth place that night. He fell into a deep sleep after getting drunk and didn't wake up until dawn!"
"It's okay if he's not here. Since he's been at the top of the five towers all the time, and someone has seen him, then it must be him! To hide the truth, it seems that I'm going to talk to him!" Andre stood When he got up, the pupil of his left eye opened and turned into the same dark gray color as his right eye. His whole temperament also changed accordingly, and he became the smiling Andrei again. At the top of the "Sky Tower" of the wine, Andre suddenly appeared out of thin air, sat naturally on the seat that only belonged to Avery, calmly looked at the blue sky above his head, and gently shook the chair under him.
Avery, who was dealing with government affairs below, suddenly frowned, and told the people in front of him: "That's it for now, you all step back!"
"My lord, there are still a few things that must be asked of you..."
"Back off!" Before he could finish the rest of his sentence, Avery's voice turned cold, and he softly shouted.
The few people were startled, and they didn't dare to say a word anymore, they retreated obediently, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they walked out of the room.
Avery swayed, and the next moment, he appeared in front of Andre.
"Master Andre, I didn't expect you to come here. What's the matter?" Avery twisted a wine bottle in his hand, and poured the wine naturally while talking. He handed the foot cup to Andre, "Try the mince wine from the northwest forest of the God of Life, how does it taste?"
You're not welcome, and Andre took the wine glass with a smile, took a sip, and said good-bye: "Well... not bad... you really know how to enjoy yourself!"
Avery was all smiles, humble.
"So, is Brian dead or alive?" A glass of wine fell into his stomach, and Andre gently shook the glass, looking at the empty glass where there was no liquid rolling, he asked naturally.
The smile on Avery's face froze, and the action of adding wine for himself suddenly stopped, and after a while, he continued to add wine, but the wry smile became a bit bitter, and he shook his head, Avery Said: "I don't know..."
