"Little Marquis, the iron box you want has been built. I wonder if this is feasible."
The next morning, Xue An walked in with an iron box and displayed the brand new box in front of Li Juan.
They didn't get back the box that Zhong Ke was holding before, but Li Fan used his true-seeing eyes to roughly glean the characteristics of the Yangmu statue. He also knew that an ordinary box was enough to contain this rare treasure, so he asked Xue An to build it locally. I bought a box and placed it temporarily.
Li Fan took it over, put the Yangmu statue in, and locked it.
Sure enough, the size is just right.
Then he tied a cloth strip on the Yangmu statue and carried it on his back.
"Little Marquis, why don't you let me do it."
Xue An was worried that long-term exposure to this thing would be dangerous, so he took the initiative to ask for help.
"It doesn't matter. As long as it doesn't come into direct contact with flesh and blood, this Yangmu statue should still be safe."
Li Chuan said to him.
Compared to this, what he was more concerned about at the moment was his arm.
It has been contaminated by the strangeness of the Yangmu statue, and has undergone some mutations.
Soon after, Xue An went out to prepare for the return journey on Li Chuan's order.
As long as the handover with Longjiang Town is completed, the group can immediately start returning to the Holy Capital.
Before that, Li Fan quietly checked his hidden right hand and found that it was getting closer to wood color, but it became more flexible when moving.
Just like the tree form transformed by the giant crocodile, it displays powerful defense capabilities that are invulnerable to knives and water and fire.
Even if Xiao Qingyi swung the knife with her right arm to chop it off, it could only make the sound of gold and iron clashing, and almost curled the sword's edge.
If it weren't for Tang Hengdao's self-healing recasting ability, he would have lost a weapon just by trying it casually.
The minor wounds that appeared were healed in just a blink of an eye.
However, compared to this, Li Ao has another ability.
As he concentrated, in the room with no outsiders, wooden buds shaped like the roots of a banyan tree emerged and grew rapidly in the blink of an eye.
They were like earthworms or monster tentacles, tightly wrapped around the wooden arm, and then even the arm lengthened and thickened, taking on the shape of a deformed giant.
Feeling the surging power emerging here, Li Fan suddenly clenched his fist, and before he could swing it, there was a sound of wind and thunder, as if he could punch out at any time and smash the furniture and walls in front of him.
Because he was worried about attracting unnecessary attention, he didn't seriously try this, but in the blink of an eye, he summoned an ordinary sword from his treacherous realm, and easily held it and twisted it into a twist.
The ease and ease with which he shredded pieces of iron was like tearing paper, which demonstrated his tenacity and strange strength. His physical strength, endurance, and ability to recover had all increased significantly.
These are all brought about by the surging vitality in the statue.
At this moment, Li Fan felt that his body also possessed the vitality of a great beast.
What's even more strange is that after he tried to scratch his body with wooden nails and cut a shallow wound, the injured area soon scabbed and then took on the shape of tree bark. ….There seems to be some roots growing inside my body, and it’s not just as simple as the wood of my arms changing.
But the price of this regenerative ability is that it can easily be converted into wood.
Li Fan felt the strange power surging in his body and suddenly understood.
If you suffer unbearable heavy damage in a short period of time, you may transform into a wooden form like the giant crocodile.
As for whether he will be completely unable to move after this, or whether he will transform into a "wooden man" with a new posture like his right arm, it is really unknown.
Perhaps, this will be determined by the strange balance in your own body.
If it cannot maintain a strange balance, it may be resurrected in a new evil form like the giant crocodile.
While thinking about it like this, the weirdness on the wooden arm converged.
The monster's tentacle-like whiskers faded and returned to its normal wooden arm form.
…
After half a month.
Li Chuan and others returned from Zhongzhou Province, and during this period they also contacted the headquarters.
In addition to the information related to the Yangmu statue being concealed, other matters, including the attempts by Wu Feng and others to create artificial demons, were reported in detail.
When the department learned about it, it also attached great importance to it and made a series of arrangements for subsequent matters.
At this moment, on the official road, horse hooves were flying as fast as shooting stars.
Li Fan and his party returned to the Holy Capital.
"Xu..."
In front of the Kaiyuan Gate near Beiya, Li Fan saw a group of elite warriors in fancy clothes appearing in front of him from a distance, and knew that they were people sent by Tiangang Hall to take care of them.
He immediately pulled the reins and reined in the horse to stop.
Sure enough, an official at the level of Wei Zhenfu envoy walked out from the crowd and stepped forward to inform them of his name and department. It was Wei Hufeng sent by Tiangang Hall to hand over to them.
"Master Li, thank you for your hard work. We can leave Wu Feng to us."
Because of some upper-level power struggles, people from Tiangangtang are actually deliberately alienated from the department, just like the circle of nobles and relatives in which Li Fang belongs to do not deal with them either.
There was no special friendship between this man and Li Fan, it was just business.
However, this Wu Feng was captured by Li Wei after all, and he still had a little clue.
"We, Hall Master Hong, heard that Mr. Li went to Longjiang to kill the giant crocodile, and were extremely impressed. It just so happened that our hall kept some relevant secret files, which may be helpful in solving this incident. We have been specifically ordered to do so. its transfer.
If Mr. Li is interested, you might as well take a look..."
With that said, he took out a stack of files from his luggage and handed it to Li Chuan.
Li Ao glanced at him with a little surprise.
People in Tiangang Hall may not know much about those past events, but as a person at the level of the hall leader, it is impossible not to understand that decades ago, it was the ancestors of the Hou Mansion who killed the evil dragon Qiu Yan and solved that incident. of.
The relevant files preserved by the Wu'an Hou Mansion are probably more clear and specific than those owned by the imperial court.
However, it was impossible for the imperial court to turn a blind eye to the power of the evil dragon Qiu An, and they must have secretly studied it in private.
But after all, they didn't get most of the demon puzzle pieces like the Hou Mansion, so the results they could get were limited.
They might as well reciprocate the favor and hand over this useless thing to them to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion.
Sure enough, after they picked up Wu Feng, Li Fan opened the file and took a look and found that it was information related to the development and utilization of dragon blood.
"This Hall Master Hong is quite generous, and he doesn't want to owe me any favors."
Li Chuan smiled faintly.
"That's okay. Tiangangtang has strong research power, and it conducts research separately from the Hou Mansion. It may be possible to draw on each other's strengths to offset weaknesses, which will help the Hou Mansion control the power of Canglong Tu."
Don’t ask about the common people, ask about ghosts and gods. Remind you: remember to collect it after reading it.
