This was a large-scale shaking. Not only the room, but the entire hotel and even Lingang City were shaking violently. Cracks appeared on the walls of the room, and dust fell from the ceiling.
Qianye rushed to the window and looked out. At the end of the field of vision, in the slums of Lingang City, shacks had begun to collapse. Such shacks, which were extremely rough in workmanship and structure, could not withstand the shaking of the earth.
The power of.
"earthquake?"
However, Ding Shiheng remained calm and shook his head: "It's not an earthquake, it's just the Earth Dragon turning over. It will be over soon."
Sure enough, the shaking of the earth only lasted for a few minutes and then gradually stopped. Even so, there were many collapsed and damaged houses in Lingang City, but most of them were concentrated in slums.
In fact, Lingang City as a whole is very simple. If it were not clearly marked, it would be difficult for Qianye to tell which is the slum area and which is the normal urban area. Only the aristocratic area where the city lord's palace is located has something like a big city. However,
When an earthquake occurs, it is obvious that collapsed houses are mostly in slums and rarely occur in urban areas.
After the earthquake, people immediately became busy. Some were cleaning up the ruins, some were recycling materials, and some were treating the injured. Everything was in order, and there was order in the chaos. Obviously similar situations have happened many times, even
People at the lowest level have become accustomed to it and know how to deal with it.
Those shacks are extremely simple, basically just a few pillars and a roof frame. The roofs and walls are made of thin wooden boards. If they collapse, there won't be much damage. Even if they are buried in the rubble, they can be easily rescued. In this way
The shack can be built again in less than a day.
The hotel where Qianye was staying, as well as some obviously much better houses around it, were mostly supported by steel structures. Most of them only tilted a little in the shaking of the earth. A person with a third-level or fourth-level cultivation level could
The steel structure is straightened and restructured. As for the repair of the walls and ceiling, it is a very simple matter that ordinary people can complete. In addition, since the furniture is also of the simplest style, there is no loss even if it is damaged.
After the shaking passed, a waiter knocked on the door soon. He did not come in, but said outside the door: "Dear guests, please don't panic. Someone will repair the damage to your room soon. Before dinner, everything will be done."
It will return to its original state.”
After saying this, the waiter went to the next room and informed the guests one by one.
At this moment, the ground was still shaking slightly, and Qianye keenly discovered that on the partially exposed soil, ripples appeared on the ground like water waves. Although it was subtle, it was obviously not what an earthquake should look like.
"Dilong? What is that?" Qianye was more afraid than interested in this existence that could cause the entire city to tremble.
This is obviously not a secret in Lingang City. Ding Shiheng replied without hesitation: "It is a legendary giant creature hidden deep in the earth. It is also said to be a giant beast in the void, but no one has really seen it. Every once in a while
Over time, it will turn over or stir, and this time it is just a slight turn. If it is stirred every few years, it will last for a few days, and then most of Lingang City will collapse."
Qianye finally understood why the city's buildings were so strange. They were designed to facilitate reconstruction. The source was obviously the turning and shaking of this earth dragon. In the entire city, it seemed that only the city lord's palace and the noble district were
Permanent buildings. Other buildings, even if they use steel structural frames, are difficult to support the vibrations that occur every few years.
Qianye's eyes turned blue and he looked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. In the real field of view, the buildings in the entire aristocratic district were glowing with a faint force of light, protected by a protective force field. The light of the City Lord's Mansion was even more intense.
, there is a layer of light covering the entire mansion, and a force shield was actually built. Even in the empire, this feat is not a small feat.
Seeing this, Qianye had a new understanding of the strength of the Lingang City Lord. In a neutral place, without enough strength, he could not protect such a huge wealth.
At this time, many people in the city rushed to the streets, gathered into a stream of people, and hurried out of the city.
"What are they going to do?"
Ding Shiheng said: "They are all hunted. Every time the dragon turns over, some unique creatures will be driven up from the depths of the ground. For example, rainbow fish and agouti can only be caught at this time."
Rainbow fish and agouti are the specialties of Lingang City. Not only do they taste great, but eating more of them can also enhance the perception of the Force, thereby slightly increasing the speed of cultivation, so they are very popular. And for demons, their delicious taste
Almost irresistible, it is an important commodity in the smuggling trade.
In addition, when local dragons stir, rare special species from deeper underground will be driven into the shallow underground. This is also the only chance to hunt them. At this time, Qianye understands why it is necessary to rebuild his home every few years.
, there are still so many people who want to settle in Lingang City.
Qianye asked again about the distribution of the main forces in Lingang City. After getting all the required information, he asked Ding Shiheng to leave.
Ding Shiheng was worthy of being the local leader of Lingang City. He came to the hotel again the next morning. As soon as he entered the room, all his arrogance disappeared. He stood respectfully in front of Qian Ye, not squinting, looking at Ye Tong and Ye Tong next to him.
Zhu Ji turned a blind eye.
The news he brought made Qianye frown and said: "You are saying that an old man who met the characteristics did come to Lingang City, but after meeting the Xue family, he disappeared the next day
?”
"Yes, the villain has used all the hidden clues in his hands, but he can't find his whereabouts. There is speculation." Ding Shiheng secretly looked at Qianye's expression. After all, to him, the Xue family is a giant, involving these big families
, even the simplest things will become extremely complicated.
"Say it."
"It is said that on that day, the Xue family's guards made unusual changes. So some people speculate that the Xue family may have taken Mr. Cui away."
Qianye raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Have you verified this news with anyone from the Xue family?"
Ding Shiheng said cautiously: "This adult, with his status as a villain, can only come into contact with the lower class people of the Xue family at most. They know nothing about it. It is possible that the Xue family has nothing to do with this matter. Another possibility is that
This matter is also a secret in the Xue family, and not many people know about it. If it is the latter possibility, then there is really nothing I can do about it."
Qianye nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. Tell me the location of the Xue family. If possible, it is best to get me a map of the Xue family."
Ding Shiheng stood up and said, "I'll do it now, little man."
In the evening, Ding Shiheng had already sent over Xue Zhai's map. It must be said that this local snake was quite capable in his work.
With the location and map, preparations were enough. In the dead of night, Qianye and Yetong left the hotel and disappeared into the night.
Xue's house is naturally built in the aristocratic district, but the scale is not too big, it is just three steps forward and backward. It is not big, but compared with other cities, it is an out-and-out luxury house in Lingang City. In the aristocratic district
, each building must be equipped with a force array that can resist the movement of the earth dragon. Even if it is for the sake of face, the house cannot be damaged. Therefore, as the house becomes larger, the consumption of the force array will become very terrifying.
Before that, Qianye found out clearly that the person living in this Xue residence was a branch of the Xue family, and that they were supported by manpower stationed by the family. The Xue family had many properties inside and outside the city, and they were all under the jurisdiction of this place.
Qianye stood not far away, looking at the house.
Xue's residence has high walls and wide doors, and has the style of an imperial family building. However, its scale is less than one-tenth of that of a real aristocratic family, and it cannot be compared with the Zhao Clan's mansion, which is half a city.
"Let's go in and have a look." Qianye greeted Ye Tong, jumped up and landed on the courtyard wall.
Through Ding Shiheng, Qianye knew that the most powerful person in the Xue family at the moment was Xue Haiyang, the head of the side branch. As a thirteenth-level general, he was more than enough to protect the Xue family's interests in Lingang City.
It was already late at night, and most of the lights in the house were turned off. There were several guards patrolling back and forth, and two secret sentries were posted. This kind of guarding was considered to be very sparse, and most mercenary adventurers with ill-intentioned intentions could not take advantage of it.
But of course this didn't help Qianye. He jumped up, silently passed over a group of guards and entered the back house.
Ye Tong also landed next to Qianye, glanced at the back house, and pointed to the main house of the main house.
Qianye nodded and came to the door. With a flash of red light in his hand, the blood-sucking blade cut off the door lock inside, making only a very faint sound. However, this sound had already awakened the people in the room and shouted: "
Who is it?"
Qianye pushed open the door, and Ye Tong rushed into the room like lightning, placing the blood-sucking blade on the neck of the man on the bed.
The man on the bed was about forty years old. He just raised his body and froze there. The blood-sucking blade was extremely sharp, and before it actually came into contact, it left a thin line of blood on the skin of his throat.
There was also a rather coquettish woman on the bed, but she was not awakened. She just turned over, revealing her white and plump skin, and she was not wearing anything.
The man was not surprised at all, and said in a deep voice: "Xue Haiyang is the head of the Xue family branch. He also holds a position in the Xue family's old house. I wonder what you can do to find Xue?"
Qianye closed the door and said, "Mr. Xue, you are so determined and courageous! In this case, I will not go around in circles. I have a friend named Cui Yuanhai, who should be in your hands now."
?”
As soon as this name was mentioned, Xue Haiyang's face suddenly changed. His calmness and calmness were completely replaced by horror, and he said in a voiceless voice: "You are the people the Wolf King wants!"
"The Wolf King is very generous. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have known that my head was worth so much money." Qianye said with a smile.
Xue Haiyang's heart immediately sank. He looked at the blood-sucking blade resting on his throat again, with a wry smile on his face and said, "You two, it turns out you are a vampire."
Qianye said calmly: "She is, but I am not. But this is not important. Mr. Xue, are you planning to delay time? This is meaningless."
Xue Haiyang smiled bitterly and said: "I know, you even dare to kill the son of the Wolf King, so how can you care about a little person like me? Cui Yuanhai did come to me. This matter is too big, I reported it to the master. The master's family
The answer is to temporarily detain the person and keep him under strict supervision."
"What about people?"
Xue Haiyang became even more helpless and whispered: "Taken away."
