Between mountains and seas

Chapter 140 The Sand of the Creature

The evening in winter always comes very early. It was already dark when Qi Tongmin walked into an alley, and the yellowish light from the street lamps cast his shadow on the ground for a long time.

A clatter sounded from behind, and Qi Tongmin turned around quickly, only to see a cat jumping down from the wall, taking a piece of sand and scattering it on the road, and then crossing the alley in panic, trying to escape.

This seemed to be a very common scene, but Qi Tongmin suddenly felt something was wrong—it was fine for the cat to jump off the wall, but where did so much sand come from? How could there be so much sand on the top of the wall?

But the sand seemed to be just ordinary sand. Construction sites could be seen everywhere, and although a piece of sand was spread on the road, it didn't even fall to his feet, let alone his body.

Qi Tongmin looked around vigilantly, and his shadow also changed its posture as his body turned.Because the black asphalt ground was covered with a piece of yellow-white sand, so now his shadow's lower body is dark in color, while his upper body is light in color, and it seems to be divided into two parts.

But other than that, there's nothing wrong with it.Qi Tongmin turned back slowly, but he turned around suddenly after taking two steps, and the colorful butterfly in his hand disappeared in a flash. Before disappearing, its two tentacles pointed straight to the spot where the cat jumped out just now. Section of the wall, the direction is clear, without hesitation.

"Yuan Fei." Qi Tongmin called out the name slowly, and his voice was not high, "Come out, I don't want to make too much noise."

After a while of silence, someone turned over from the wall, he landed easily, and raised the hat on the brim of his brow: "Qi Ke, did you make any mark on me?" It wasn't Yuan Fei, who was it?

"What mark?" Qi Tongmin asked back, "Didn't you ask me to follow you on purpose? Otherwise, why would you be waiting for me here?"

Although his expression was calm, there was actually a tight string in Qi Tongmin's heart - it stands to reason that Yuan Fei should not know the way he tracked Yuan Fei.

Yuan Fei once used half a five-color stone—the so-called half five-color stone is a chrysalis that has consumed half of its energy—as long as the five-color stone is used, the energy in the body will be different, and the corresponding five-color moth can be used to track it.But Yuan Fei probably didn't know this. He didn't even know that the five-color stone was a pupa, and of course he shouldn't know that there are five-color moths and the secrets that five-color moths can track.

However, Yuan Fei seemed to be waiting for him here.

What are you waiting for him to do?Qi Tongmin would never think that Yuan Fei was planning to catch up with him.Ever since Yuan Fei lied that he didn't get the mermaid meat, but went over him to contact Zhao Lianxing, it proved that Yuan Fei had already planned to get rid of him, and even broke his face with him.

Under such circumstances, he used Zhao Lianxing to fish out Yuan Fei, and Yuan Fei was waiting for him in the alley. Qi Tongmin could only think of one thing about the purpose of that—ambush.

In terms of strength, Qi Tongmin felt that he was far superior to Yuan Fei.In the case of a large gap in strength, although the curse ability is treacherous and difficult, it is not to be feared-at least those that Yuan Fei is good at, Qi Tongmin is confident that he can crack them.

Of course, Yuan Fei also knew this, otherwise he would not have been willing to follow Qi Tongmin these years.But since he knew the difference in strength, he still dared to ambush him here, there must be a method he didn't know.

Thinking of this, Qi Tongmin became more vigilant and stared at Yuan Fei closely.But Yuan Fei didn't seem to intend to do anything, instead he smiled: "Qi Ke, you don't want to say it, I know you have means. I just don't know, why are you looking for me?"

Qi Tongmin was silent for a while, and asked back, "What's the matter with Hengchong? Zhao Lianxing didn't let you do anything to Hengchong."

"It's not all the same." Yuan Fei shrugged, "Zhao Lianxing is both acting and standing up. If he does one, he can do it, and if he does two, he can do it. What's the difference? He thinks that he is more noble than others if he does one? Fifty steps laugh at a hundred steps."

Qi Tongmin stared at him for a while, then suddenly said, "How did you become like this?"

I think Yuan Fei was a bit extreme when he was in the special affairs department, but he didn't have such an attitude of treating human life like nothing.But now, he is no longer just a hatred of the rich, he has almost regarded human life as nothing.

"What's wrong with me?" Yuan Fei sneered, "Chief Qi, do you think you are much better than me? Have you ever killed anyone? He Feng, Hao Yong—don't talk about others, just these two, don't they both compare?" Why is the Blue Arrow Hengchong more important? Oh, and Wang Xu, if not for luck, Wang Xu would not be able to wake up now, right? As for the less important ones, should I count them all?"

Qi Tongmin nodded: "You are right, I am not much better than you. But there is still a difference, I am not for money."

"Haha!" Yuan Fei laughed presumptuously, "Are you not doing it for money? Not for money, you let people grow grass? Not for money, you asked me to go to the world of mountains and seas to get mermaid meat or five-color dew? Not for money With money, you can support Xie Fei and send her daughter abroad?"

The corners of his mouth twisted a bit when he smiled: "You are different from me? Isn't it because you have a high level of abilities? Isn't it because you became the chief of the special affairs department? What's so great? I know what you want to say, you I want to say that all the money you got was spent in the special affairs department, as a fund, as a subsidy, right? Isn’t that all investment for you to buy people’s hearts so that you can climb up? alone?"

Qi Tongmin listened to his eloquence, and suddenly interjected: "So you reported He Feng's matter to Corey?"

Originally, he was ready for the special affairs department to know from Tang Jia that he made the Wonder Bird and attacked Wang Xu, but now the news is that Tang Jia lost contact in the world of mountains and seas before he had time to say anything. The matter department directly filed a case against He Feng, which was beyond his expectation.

Don't say that Gu Sheng didn't know about He Feng, even Kang Qiao and others didn't know about it.That was Qi Tongmin's own action, and it was also the first time he ordered Zheng Yingying to "kill"—before that, Zheng Yingying was just using her ability to "persuade" or "win over" people, but it was a pity that she saw Zheng Yingying that time Yingying's talent is limited. Although she has carried Miaoyinniao's laryngeal bone beads for so long, she can only make He Feng sick in the end. Later, He Feng's death is due to another curse quietly cast by Yuan Fei.

Therefore, when Zheng Yingying wanted to blackmail Qi Tongmin with He Feng's matter so that she could retreat completely, Qi Tongmin had no regrets. On the contrary, Tang Jia, whom Zheng Yingying had chosen by mistake, was more talented than her. There will be changes soon in the body, and it is very hopeful to awaken into a real Miaoyin bird.

Zheng Yingying is demented now, and Tang Jia certainly doesn't know about He Feng, so if the Special Affairs Division can clearly file He Feng's case, it can only be the clues provided by Yuan Fei. After all, there is no clear evidence, even the above can We can't open a case against him, the chief of the special affairs department, for investigation.

"It's me." Yuan Fei admitted very frankly.

"Why?" Qi Tongmin was a little surprised, "You still want to atone for your crime?" Push all the previous things on him, and then count yourself as a meritorious prosecutor?

Yuan Fei laughed again: "No." Of course he didn't have such an idea, it's just that everyone did it together, why should he do it alone?Now that Qi Tongmin is pushed out, who will care about him? He will have more time and energy to find the five-color stone.

As for what to do after finding the five-color stone, Yuan Fei has not actually thought about it carefully, but as long as he gets the five-color stone, he no longer needs to be afraid of the special affairs department. I've been to Happy Days.

"Tell me, what will happen if I report Gu Sheng again?" Yuan Fei felt a little excited at the thought of messing up the special affairs department.

Qi Tongmin smiled instead: "Why did you report Gu Sheng?" What grounds does Gu Sheng have for others to report?

"Whatever you want." Yuan Fei didn't care. "Someone will believe you if you say anything. Who told him to have a good relationship with you? Just talk about He Feng, doesn't it mean he doesn't know?"

"He doesn't know." Qi Tongmin said calmly.If Gu Sheng knew, it would be very contradictory.He was that kind of person, too good to be too good to be unavoidably a little indecisive, even if he agreed to his approach in the end, he would have to bear the debt of conscience for a lifetime.That being the case, he might as well make his own decision.

"Who would believe it?" Yuan Fei laughed loudly, "If you don't discuss anything with him, he won't know anything about it? Do you believe it or not, and see if those people in the Gonggong faction believe it or not?"

He doesn't like Qi Tongmin very much now!They have already been pushed out to top the tank, why is Qi Tongmin so calm?Ming Ming Qi Tongmin should be the same as he was before, full of resentment, even panic - he will soon be wanted by all supernatural beings, why is he still so calm?

Yuan Fei really wanted to break the calm: "Chief Qi, actually, do you know that I didn't have to go to Zhao Lianxing?"

Qi Tongmin understood what he meant. If Yuan Fei didn't go to see Zhao Lianxing, he would just wait at the gate of Lianxing Group, at least he didn't find Yuan Fei so quickly.So Yuan Fei ran to the Lianxing Group, not because he foolishly threw himself into the trap, but because of another purpose.

This just confirmed Qi Tongmin's guess just now, Yuan Fei ambushed him here: "Who told you to come?"

"Hahahaha——" Yuan Fei laughed again, "Chief Qi's head is an aura, guess what?"

"It's Cambridge." Qi Tongmin said with certainty.The expression on his face remained unchanged, but his eyes turned cold.In fact, he had long thought that Cambridge would attack him. After all, only the dead would keep secrets. Although, for him, he could take everything for Xie Fei, Kang Qiao would definitely feel that it was not enough to have Xie Fei in his hands. not safe.

It's just that he didn't expect Cambridge to attack so quickly and find Yuan Fei.

But when you think about it, only Yuan Fei is the most familiar with him, otherwise he might not be able to find him quickly, and Kang Qiao didn't have any high-level supernatural beings who could fight against him.

So the question went back to the beginning. What did Yuan Fei rely on to dare to attack him?

"Section Chief Qi must be thinking in his heart, why am I so bold to take on this matter?" The distorted smile on Yuan Fei's face suddenly calmed down a little. Obviously, his crazy look just now is also the same. Half-truth, half-false, "Section Chief Qi can talk to me for so long, this matter is half done."

Time wasting!He was just stalling for time!But what does it do?

Just as Qi Tongmin was puzzled in his heart, he felt a little itchy on his shoulder.

Itchy skin in winter is actually a very normal thing, but Qi Tongmin became vigilant in an instant - when many curses first touched the body, it was this kind of slight itching, because the more it resembles the normal reaction of the human body, the more difficult it is for people. If you notice it, you will be tricked unconsciously.

No matter what, let's kill Yuan Fei first!Qi Tongmin made up his mind in an instant - as long as the caster of the curse is dead, the curse will usually be eliminated directly, even if it is not completely eliminated, the power will be reduced by half, and he will slowly find a way to solve it.

Yuan Fei is no longer like the former Yuan Fei. Even after working together for a few years, Qi Tongmin feels that he doesn't know him a little bit.What's more, Yuan Fei wanted to drag Gu Sheng into the water as well—once it came out that he had killed He Feng, the Gonggong faction would definitely take the opportunity to counterattack. If Gu Sheng was also pulled down, the special affairs department would fall to Gonggong With Pai in his hands, Deputy Yan, the logistics section chief, can't stand it at all, not to mention that she still has auxiliary abilities and rarely goes to the front line.

Therefore, Yuan Fei must die.

Qi Tongmin's eyes were cold, and a blue-white ball of electric light had formed between his fingers.But at the moment when he shot, his shoulder suddenly felt numb, which made him unable to lift his whole right arm, and even the electric light he shot lost his aim. Yuan Fei dodged it and laughed loudly: "Qi Chief, what's the matter?"

The tingling sensation of numbness extended from his shoulder like an electric current, and the entire right arm was rapidly losing consciousness, and this "loss of consciousness" feeling was still spreading to other parts of the body, as if he was the one who was shocked by the electric shock.Qi Tongmin managed not to let his face change suddenly, but the twitching muscles in the corners of his eyes had already betrayed his current state - he was very bad.

Yuan Fei really laughed this time: "It seems that it is still useful."

"What is it?" Qi Tongmin reluctantly raised his left hand and held his right hand.He is familiar with the curses used by Yuan Fei, but the most important thing is that he is not capable enough to use such fierce curses - using concealment, quick activation, and outstanding effects are not what Yuan Fei can do.

"Sand of the Goddess." Yuan Fei paused every word, his brows and eyes twitched with pride, "Section Chief Qi is right, my own abilities are beyond my reach, but I can borrow the abilities of strange beasts."

"Fantasy—" Qi Tongmin squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Innuendo!"

If Shao Jingxing was here, he would definitely raise his hand and shout: I know this!

There is indeed information in the APP: Shen, also known as the short fox, looks like a turtle but has three legs. It can be found in the Shen Mountain recorded in the "Da Huang Nan Jing"; and there is also the country of Shen Min, which is named after the local production of Shen .

In fact, the country of the mythical people is just the name of the "Shan Hai Jing". It is nothing more than a place suitable for the survival of mythical creatures, not an independent country.However, after the separation of the two realms, due to the sharp reduction in the power of mountains and seas, the creatures also rapidly decreased until they became extinct, leaving only the idiom insinuating.

Although very few people have seen the mythical creature with their own eyes, this idiom describes the behavior of the mythical creature very accurately. The "Shan Hai Jing" said in the commentary: "The dragon shoots people with sand, and the one in it will die of illness."Zhang Hua's "Natural History" also described: "Qi shoots people's shadows, sores occur wherever they are written, and if they are not cured, they will kill people."

The ability of mythical creatures to shoot people is actually a cursed ability, and the "sand" contained in the so-called mythical creatures is the condensation and manifestation of their abilities.This "sand" does not need to directly touch the human body, as long as it hits the shadow of the person, the curse will follow on the human body.

Qi Tongmin glanced at the sand scattered on the ground, and there was a grain of sand hidden in it, and it touched his shadow.

"Sure enough, it's still easy to use." Yuan Fei waved his fist a little excitedly, and said to himself, "It didn't work on that Huo Qing before, I thought it wouldn't work..."

That time almost destroyed his confidence in Shen Zhisha - obviously hit the calf of Huo Qing's shadow, but he unexpectedly came out of the world of mountains and seas intact.But looking at it now, it might be that the sand of the monster didn't last long enough, or he missed it in the chaos and didn't hit it accurately.

But looking at Qi Tongmin's appearance now, it can be confirmed that the mythical sand is easy to use, and even high-level supernatural beings cannot forcibly dispel it.Then, as long as he has the mythical sand in his hands, who else can escape his plot?

It's just that the mythical sand is relatively rare.Ordinary antlers actually use unformed air-like abilities when hunting prey. As it is said in "Natural History", it is air that shoots people's shadows, and he cannot use this air.But the real sand of mythical beasts needs a long time of accumulation to condense, so he raised those mythical beasts for several years, but only got a few grains of sand.

Moreover, using these mythical sands requires sufficient abilities. If one's own abilities are not enough, one will also be cursed when touching the mythical sands. It is completely killing one thousand enemies and injuring one thousand. , maybe the other party is not dead yet, he himself can't stand it anymore.

So, he needs another thing.

"Where's your five-color moth egg?" Yuan Fei stared at Qi Tongmin, "Give me the five-color moth egg in your hand, and I can take back the curse."

This is of course a lie. Once the mythical sand is used, Yuan Fei has no way to take it back, because it is not his own ability. He may be able to control his own curse, but he cannot control it from other strange beasts. curse.Of course the same, because the mythical sand does not belong to him, so even if he is killed, the curse of the mythical sand still exists.

But this does not prevent Yuan Fei from telling a lie. After all, he needs to have enough ability to protect himself when he enters the world of mountains and seas to find five-color moth eggs. If he can get enough eggs from Qi Tongmin, maybe he doesn’t need to go to the world of mountains and seas to take risks. Even if it is not enough, with the chrysalis in hand to improve his strength, it will be safer for him to enter the world of mountains and seas, isn't it?

"Or, tell me where you found your five-color moth eggs, and I can let you go. How about this deal?"
