Chapter 838: Investigator Series? Go Get He Chen!

“What’s going on? Don’t be afraid—I’m here to protect you!”

Zhu Xiaobei, who was in the bathroom, heard the scream and burst out immediately, determined to fulfill his duty as a fake boy protecting his concubines.

“Officer Chu…”

He had just stepped out when he saw Chu Yuqun standing there; he instinctively covered his face, smeared with body wash, and looked even more anxiously toward Li Weijuan, who had screamed.

“Juan’er, don’t panic—take your time and tell us what happened.”

She had set her eyes on a light green, fitted fringe robe—youthful and vibrant—and its color would aid concealment in the forest; the price was acceptable too: two thousand five hundred middle-grade spirit stones.

He tore apart the Blood Sun, then roared again; the purple-gold triangular wheel spun back and shot toward his back, just in time to block the rapidly returning Blood Moon.

Returning from Sha Dahou’s estate to Old Wang’s general store required a long stretch of yellow earth road. The melting snow had turned the soil into mud; every step sank deep, leaving a footprint full of sludge.

At his age, with his wealth, he had nothing to worry about—so why, at that moment, had he succumbed to the temptation of vast wealth and fallen under Gong Jiu’s control?

Asking myself honestly, if it weren’t for Chen Hao’s abilities, I’d never have given him a second glance, let alone entertained any improper thoughts.

The place where Ji Lingsheng and the other two stood could barely be called a mountain—it was more like a mound of dirt, and the higher they climbed, the stranger things became; near the summit, the vegetation grew even taller and more upright, completely obscuring the peak’s view, the forest unnaturally dense yet utterly silent—no animal sounds at all.

Ji Lingsheng clicked his tongue; though he’d expected it, hearing it from the top leader of Siyue still carried a shocking weight—he resolved then and there that next time he met that guy, he’d have to swear brotherhood with him.

For someone who loves drinking, a good friend usually means someone with an excellent alcohol tolerance.

“Aim for its eyes—those are its weak points,” Ning Wuqing said, already leaping away and thrusting his sword straight at one of the Dream Evil Beast’s eyes.

Feng Yan smiled faintly, a smile that sent chills down the spine: “This is the territory of the demon race—Jiao Ren Island.” It was both explanation and warning.

Chen Yang’s eyes brightened; he pondered for a moment, then shot upward into the sky. From high above, he gazed down at the black hole on the ground.

Gu Nan had already vanished into the distance; Fan Lun, Lu Lunsha, and Dafuni—three main gods—had already fallen to his hands, and his sin value had surged again.

Immediately, the Spirit Mei took out a brocade handkerchief artifact, cast a seal, transforming it into a silk carpet; then, with another seal, she caused the infant demon to emerge from within the carpet.

Though deeply reluctant, according to the Chancellor’s estimate, one night was sufficient to transport enough supplies to sustain Gaosheng City for five days; after five days, the Centaur Legion would appear—and that would be the moment to sound the counterattack horn. Success or failure hinged on this one move, so having more than that would be of little additional use.

Then a broad, hefty man emerged from the vehicle. He was around fifty, his appearance imposing, inspiring instinctive awe and fear.

Immediately, Dao Hao heard a dull thud; watching the corpse of Xinghuazi slowly topple beside him, his expression betrayed confusion and rising fury.

Fortunately, within the sixty- to seventy-meter radius of effect, any monster fish touched by Ye Mo’s electricity instantly flipped belly-up, paralyzed, and floated motionless on the sea surface.

Magic and science coexist. Some pilot robots into battle, while others wield magic.

Their carefully formed formation had completely collapsed; regrouping was now impossible—clearly giving Hun Yi and Hun Er the opening they needed.

“Where are you taking me?” Feng Li said, one hand secretly slipping behind his back, feigning surprise: “You’ve been here the whole time?” As he spoke, Feng Li suddenly whipped out a dagger from his lower back and plunged it into my stomach.
