Volume 1, Chapter 66: The Hive

Su Mu muttered to himself, his thoughts stirring as he realized this must be what the monsters in the crimson mist called it.

Recalling all that transpired last night, Su Mu took a deep breath and looked at the countless dense Void-Trapping Spikes rotating continuously around him, a bitter smile involuntarily rising at the corners of his mouth.

After parting ways with Qin Yuqi and the others, Luo Chaofan walked silently on his way home, while Jiang Peipei gently linked her arm through his without saying a word.

Su Liluo was not unwilling to tell her, but rather wanted to keep her in suspense. To secure her greater loyalty, only with sufficient groundwork would the final burst of impact be at its best.

Thunder exploded across the sky above Mo Xuan's head, followed by a rumbling echo that dragged its dense resonance far into the distance.

Although the situation at Mount Gu Pass was tense, the armies at the other major border passes had not moved; instead, they had heightened their guard. Logically speaking, even if there were military actions, battle reports should have been sent back from the front lines. How could enemy troops possibly be pressing right up to the city gates?

On the first floor of the bar, Bai Fan looked at the thirty-six men before him. Every single one of them possessed a unique aura—an iron-blooded aura born from long-term combat on the battlefield, which Bai Fan himself shared.

However, if the medicinal efficacy of the healing salve could take effect within tens of seconds, and be used in conjunction with that improved Qi-Returning Liquid... Li Hu could not help but gasp inwardly.

Su Ruoyao heard this sentence crystal clear and teased playfully, "Lü Qiong really has backbone, but she is using it in the wrong place. She probably cannot hold out for that long, right? It is very cold early and late; if she waits any longer, she will truly freeze."

"Of course it's true. Would I lie to you?" Li Ning said this rather calmly, yet he wore a smile.

From the fierce and menacing expressions of the crowd, the man could easily tell that these people were by no means ordinary professional archaeological experts. Judging by the ruthlessness with which they struck, these men were very likely figures from the underworld.

"Everyone has already received the information regarding the second trial, and you must all have a clear idea of the content, so I will not repeat it here. However, there is some good news I want to share with you. Would you like to hear it?" The Array-Unifying Saint Master suddenly smiled and asked, catching Su Zhe and the others completely off guard.

"Yes, I plan to develop that place into a tourist resort, with an initial investment of three billion. But for now, it's just my idea; that piece of land hasn't been acquired yet," Xie Hongru said to Ling Chen without hiding anything.

"What do you mean by 'not daring'? Just say it directly," Mu Shui smiled slightly, leaving Mi Hou utterly infatuated.

Shao Yu also collected himself and said somewhat dazedly, "She hasn't woken up yet, but you can go call her." With that, Shao Yu scratched his head and walked away.

The windows were covered in dust, yet they still allowed the moonlight outside to filter through, casting a somewhat chilly glow upon the already dilapidated bed.

A rush of wind swept in. Yan Qingchen's eyes closely tracked her movements, and with a single counter-move, he instantly intercepted her direct strike aimed straight at his throat. Not daring to underestimate her in the slightest, he knitted his brows faintly, his eyes flashing with an unfathomable light.

Just at that moment, the beast also sensed that Qingxin was staring at it, and thus swam rapidly toward her.

"Sister Mu Shui is really something! I have no idea what's gotten into her, refusing to let us go see the young master!" Old Qin shifted the topic to Mu Shui.

Now, caught between the approaching God of Slaughter and the advancing forces of Esbil, the army was crowding and trampling over one another. Before they could even launch an assassination attempt against Azashila, a great many had already been trampled to death.

Not long after the Mongols departed the Great Ming through the Four Seas Garrison, Zhu Houzuo also led his massive army to this place.

"Luke, can you stop being so terrifying every single time!" Lei Hao said with some dissatisfaction.

Ma Chao let out a long breath and gave Wei Qing a thumbs-up, exclaiming, "General Wei is truly awe-inspiring!" Wei Qing smiled, but before he could reply, the sound of the horn rang out once more.

Jia Sidao's standards were naturally much higher. During the bidding, the price for each lot had been driven up considerably. Coupled with the slightly fiercer competition for high-end jadeite raw stones, Jia Sidao had fallen far behind Li Shiyun in terms of the number of winning bids up to this point.

It turned out that the fifty elderly men released by the Ming army the previous night had been kneeling on the ground all along. Just now, people discovered that five of them had collapsed and died. Furthermore, the fifty released men were already over sixty years old, and coupled with several days of starvation, their bodies were exceptionally frail. It would have been a miracle if nothing happened after kneeling outside all night.

"Hmph!" Blue Feather did not say much more; she leaned back against her chair and simply closed her eyes.

Just as A San had remarked that nowadays one could not purely rely on "opening pieces" to authenticate ceramics, Jia Sidao let out a sigh toward the plum vase. Even if Zhao Yun held the highest expectations for this piece of porcelain, a myriad of complex emotions churned within his heart at that moment.

Ye Qing said coldly, stepping forward slowly as he gently patted the immobilized squad leader.

In reality, among the three disciples I taught, Naruto—who possessed both the Rinnegan and the strength of a Nine-Tails at the monster-sage level—was the strongest. Next was Hinata, who was proficient in Tai-Chi and had the Phoenix clan as her summoned beasts. Finally came Sasuke, who had evolved the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and was proud and arrogant.

The softest part deep within her heart was suddenly touched, and she felt a warm current flowing silently.

Seeing Dr. Lu walking back, Qi Lenghan thought to himself, "Staying here won't reveal anything anyway." Hesitating no longer, he simply turned and left. At the exact moment he turned around, he noticed that the figure inside the ice wall seemed to have moved a fraction closer to the outside.

Crisp shattering sounds spread outward from beneath her feet, instantly forming an immensely thick torrent of ice crystals. This torrent surged wildly toward杨烈 (Yang Lie), splitting into multiple branches with every inch it advanced, continuously rolling forward to encircle him.
