Jiang Ling was stunned when he saw Bai Zhi. His partner asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
He took a deep breath and replied: "It's okay." His tone was strange, nostalgic, sad, and decisive.
"Meet...an old friend?" The thin, dark man emphasized the word "old friend."
"Yes." Jiang Ling met Bai Zhi's eyes, and a smile appeared on his hard-lined face.
Jiang Lingyi appeared in the East China Sea, and what he was looking for must be the source of evolution. Bai Zhi felt that it was natural for her to call Jiang Lingyi to sit in Chen Baiyuan's tavern when old friends reunited. Chen Baiyuan recognized that Jiang Lingyi was the same kind and naturally revealed to him the information that Donghai provided stabilizer substitutes for free. As long as she takes the initiative and lets Jiang Ling know early that he can get stabilizer substitutes in Donghai without paying any price, he will not do anything detrimental to Donghai.
In Bai Zhi's heart, seeing Jiang Lingyi helping them when they were in trouble was a very good memory, and she was willing to keep this good feeling.
Bai Zhi walked down the steps and said with a smile, "Long time no see. When did you arrive in Donghai?"
Jiang Ling stretched out his hand to help her, "Yesterday. I didn't expect to meet you so soon." He stretched out his hand to stop a passerby who was passing by. Suddenly he grabbed Bai Zhi with his backhand and shouted: "Let's go!"
Several of his friends quickly surrounded him and Bai Zhi. The skinny black man's body surface glowed with dazzling white light. This white light immediately engulfed their small team and Bai Zhi. Before the hill rushed over, the group of people disappeared without a trace.
There was actually a third party who could teleport and took people away in front of him! Xiao Shan was shocked and angry. He put Mian Ning in his arms and ran towards the city hall with great strides.
Although Xiao Shan was angry, he was not carried away by his anger. The other party locked the target and immediately kidnapped the person, so they must have made preparations in advance. There are probably their companions nearby waiting to observe Donghai's reaction. Facing an opponent who can teleport, teleportation is also a trump card, and it is not appropriate to expose it yet.
And he was still carrying Mian Ning, who didn't have much fighting power, so he wasn't suitable to chase him immediately. The people who know Bai Zhi's way of doing things best are Zhang Tianzhao and Yue Dongting. He needs to inform them and let them formulate an action plan.
"Are you Gu Baizhi, the next governor of Donghai City?" The thin black man raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Zhou Jiangbei."
"Hello." Bai Zhi ignored the strangely smiling guys behind him and greeted him politely.
Although she was in a shabby room with the ceiling fluttering and falling into pieces, Bai Zhi was as calm as if she was greeting old friends on the streets of Donghai just now. She had already guessed what Jiang Lingyi's companion wanted to do. As long as she behaves cooperatively, they won't do anything to her until Donghai meets their demands, and there is absolutely no need for her to be afraid.
Zhou Jiangbei glanced at Jiang Lingyi, who was leaning against the door like a stone sculpture, and threw the pen and paper onto a few rotten wooden boards in front of Bai Zhi, which could barely be described as a table, "Write a note to Haifengqiu, I asked you to write: I am here In their hands, if you don’t exchange me for what they want, they will kill me.”
In Bai Zhi's perception, Mian Ning was already in the Dragon Palace. Using Mian Ning and Qi Haoyu, who are between the East China Sea and Xinjiang City, as a reference, Zhang Tianzhao and Yue Dongting Lin Yunlai are currently no more than 500 kilometers away from her, while Gu Tianbai and Xiao Shan are closer to her, close to 300 kilometers. .
They teleported over without exposing their teleportation trump card. They should also know Jiang Lingyi's purpose of kidnapping her, and have confidence in her to face the difficulties alone. They believe that she will find an opportunity to give the coordinates of the teleportation.
The teleportation energy fluctuations will indeed interfere with her energy balance, and now she can barely maintain her balance. If it happens again, the daughter will most likely be born early. She definitely didn't want to teleport again. The most appropriate thing she could do was to find the right place and time to throw the coordinate crystal and wait for relatives and friends to call for help instead of engaging in meaningless confrontation or running away.
Bai Zhi wrote the note according to Zhou Jiangbei's words and pushed the note over without looking a little annoyed.
To be honest, besides being depressed that she was too careless and fell into a trap, Bai Zhi was really not angry with Jiang Lingyi even though she felt uncomfortable due to the teleportation. If Hai Fengqiu and the others had not obtained the evolutionary source from the rebels, Jiang Lingyi, who was a member of the rebel Shicheng Jiang family, would not have gone to the East China Sea to kidnap her in exchange for the evolutionary source. Since it was grown in the East China Sea, she should bear the consequences as it should be, and she could not blame anyone else.
Zhou Jiangbei flicked the note proudly and said, "We will let you go when we get the things."
Bai Zhi smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I just happened to be strolling outside."
"I'll take you to your residence." Jiang Ling said in a muffled voice, "Don't run around. There are many mutated animals in this area. You get lost too easily and there is no way you can survive alone."
"I won't run." Bai Zhi emphasized that she knew what to do. She had no intention of running away at all, she still wanted to figure out how Zhou Jiangbei's teleportation came about.
Jiang Lingyi led Bai Zhi through the dark and winding corridor, stopped at the exit, and said, "No matter what happens, please trust me, I will ensure your safety."
Bai Zhi nodded cooperatively. It seemed that they had no intention of breaking up the argument or holding her captive. As long as she didn't talk nonsense, Jiang Lingyi still wanted to let her go. The more cooperative she is, the easier it will be to find opportunities to leave coordinates for Zhang Tianzhao and the others.
They walked through the devastated and desolate fields and entered the ruins of the city with half-collapsed high-rise buildings. Judging from the traces on the roadside, there are many humans active here. After going deep into the streets for more than half an hour, there were a lot of energy fluctuations from the superpowers before and after them. There were at least fifteen people following them, with levels ranging from level seven to level nineteen. They kept following but no one showed up.
Although Bai Zhi didn't have much experience fighting against others, she knew they were being targeted.
A black shadow jumped out from behind a granite wall and hit Bai Zhi. As soon as Jiang Ling got in front of Bai Zhi, he kicked the black shadow away. The black shadow hit the stone wall and bounced back, lying face up a few meters away. This was a human being whose gender could not be discerned. Black and red viscous blood gushed out from the clumped hair. He opened his mouth to speak but could not. His neck crooked and he died.
The sound of chaotic footsteps came from behind the stone wall. The people behind the wall were not running away, but rushing up to fight for their lives.
Jiang Ling drew out his long sword and stood ready.
This is a good opportunity to spread the coordinates. Bai Zhi took action first and clamped a few coordinate crystals into a thunderbolt. The deep purple spindle-shaped crystal flew out at a seemingly slow speed, flying in all directions, refracting light in mid-air, and the purple light flashed extremely dazzlingly.
These charming purple crystals hit a human body or a wall, and immediately turned into astonishing lightning bolts that were thicker than a human, easily blasting six people and two walls into charred pieces. The airwaves of the explosion splashed in all directions with the fragments and burnt odor, and the rumble of thunder resounded through half of the city.
Surprised, Jiang Ling waved his long knife to split the pieces that fell towards them, not even noticing that a few grains of purple fine sand were mixed in the pieces and fell gently.
There were seven more people ambush nearby, five jumped up and turned around to run away, while two pounced on Jiang Lingyi and Bai Zhi respectively.
Bai Zhi felt that more weight was needed, so she pinched the ground stabbing technique Qi Haoyu gave her and lightly stamped her foot. Seven sharp thorns stabbed out from the soles of the seven targets' feet, piercing through the entire human body from the soles of the feet to the top of the head at the speed of lightning.
Gurgling blood flowed down the stone pillars, and seven screams sounded almost at the same time, either sharp or rough, but equally sad and ear-piercing. After the tip of the ground thorn drilled out of the top of the head, the ground thorn continued to grow and did not stop until it was more than five meters tall.
When the screams just started, there were still more than a dozen supernatural fluctuations nearby. When the ground thorns stood up high, there were no living creatures except Jiang Lingyi and Bai Zhi where the stone pillars were visible.
Bai Zhi was stunned. When Qi Haoyu gave her the ground stabbing technique, he said it was his most commonly used attack method. She really didn't expect that Qi Haoyu also had a hobby of poking people alive and bleeding them to death.
Jiang Lingyi didn't expect Bai Zhi's attack to be so violent and cruel. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "Using supernatural powers in the third trimester of pregnancy can easily lead to premature birth. Don't you know?"
Bai Zhi handed him the yellow crystal in her hand, "We call it Earth Thorn Technique."
Jiang Ling looked at the cone-shaped crystal twice seriously. He could sense that an astonishing amount of earth energy was bound in the crystal. Huge energy circulated in the crystal, and he couldn't touch it or call it.
"How did you do it?" Jiang Lingyi asked eagerly.
"Just hold it." Bai Zhi blinked at Jiang Ling, "Very few people can, and most people can't. If this doesn't work, you can try this, the Thunder Explosion Technique." Bai Zhi took out a handful. Lei Jing gave it to him, "This is what I just used. I have a lot of this, so I can share some with you. If you can use it, we will be much safer in the future."
Jiang Lingyi decisively accepted Lei Jing, who had been positioned for at least one year. This is a brand new attack method, and anyone who wants to become stronger will not miss the opportunity to get it.
Jiang Lingyi can also sense the energy of thunder crystal but cannot use it. But since Bai Zhi gave him the thunder crystal, he had plenty of time to figure it out. Even if he couldn't, his companions might be able to.
He returned the Ground Thorn Technique to Bai Zhi. This thing does not require too many movements when used, and it is better for self-defense than the Thunder Explosion Technique.
Next, they passed through the triple high wall without incident and entered the base. The base is quite large, and paw prints and feces of small mutated animals can be seen everywhere. Going around from the isolation area at the entrance, on the wide street, at least two of the ten pedestrians were holding mutated animals. Although the mutated animals tied up in chains were not big, they were generally around level 15 and looked fierce. abnormal.
It's not that Donghai has never thought about taming mutant animals, but he has never been able to succeed. In this city, people can be seen everywhere shopping with mutated animals. Is the art of animal training already on the streets?
Bai Zhi walked along and looked at the cats, dogs, and monkeys Big Bird, and said softly: "There are so many people who can tame mutant animals. The strength of this city is very good."
"Yes, it's no worse than Donghai. They also have a large population. If the two sides really fight, it's hard to say who will win." Jiang Ling grabbed Bai Zhi's arm and motioned for her to go in another direction.
They passed by the door of a store, and a bald man with a bare upper body and two arms twice as thick as normal came out of the door and shouted enthusiastically to Jiang Lingyi: "Boss Jiang, what are you thinking about? Our boss Still waiting for a reply.”
Jiang Ling hugged Bai Zhi's waist without leaving a trace and said, "I have a woman."
Bai Zhi almost pushed Jiang Ling out. Of course she knew that Jiang Ling had a crush on her, but the crush was just a crush. She knew that Jiang Lingyi knew that she would not accept his favor. So Jiang Lingyi didn't say anything.
Jiang Lingyi suddenly acted like she was his woman in front of a stranger. What did he mean?
"Their boss wants me to be his brother-in-law and do me a small favor." Jiang Lingyi spoke close to Bai Zhi's ear, seemingly explaining to Bai Zhi who the bald man was.
The consequences of dismantling Jiang Lingyi's stage at this time are indeed troublesome. Bai Zhi didn't express anything, which was regarded as acquiescence.
"What kind of woman can capture Boss Jiang's heart of stone? Is there any woman more beautiful than my sister?" The second bald man came out of the door. He was quite good-looking, even with a bald head. He was younger than the previous bald man, but the previous bald man stepped aside immediately after he came out.
Behind him, a string of shirtless bald heads followed, and stars surrounded him like a full moon.
"She's not just beautiful. She's also the mother of my child." Jiang Ling lowered his head and straightened Bai Zhi's hood. He looked at Bai Zhi with tender eyes, without even the slightest hint of pretense. When he adjusted Bai Zhi's cloak, it was just right. Show off Bai Zhi’s big belly.
At this time, her relatives and friends will face more enemies when she comes after her. Bai Zhi endured and endured, and could not bear to kick Jiang Ling out one by one.
"I see." The bald man walked down the sidewalk. "It's really not easy to find a woman who is willing to give birth to a man's child these days. You have to cherish it. Jiang Lingyi, you have a woman and children, what do you do to support them? What are you doing?" Several friends are in debt."
"This is my family matter." Jiang Lingyi said coldly, "I don't need to worry about it, Boss Wu."
"My sister is determined to be with you. She is just like you. How can I not worry about it?" Mr. Wu grinned, clenched his fist and punched out. A ball of white light as big as a human head poured out from his fist, holding it. Faint thunder struck Bai Zhi at an alarming speed.
Jiang Ling condensed his flame armor and stood in front of Bai Zhi. A metal shield not much larger than a human head suddenly appeared, successfully withstanding the attack of the light group.
The soil under Mr. Wu's feet suddenly collapsed. Two big hands covered with soil grabbed his ankles and pulled hard, tearing him alive. The steaming organs slipped from the crack, and the fishy smell spread. The two mutant beasts nearby became ferocious, barking in a low voice, making the chains rattle. Boss Wu, who was at level 20, was actually torn into two pieces by a powerful guy who only showed his hands. How strong is this guy who tore people alive with his hands? The crowd watching from a distance was in a commotion, but no one took the initiative to leave. Everyone stared blankly at the pit, watching the big bloody hands retract into the ground.
Only half of Boss Wu was left howling miserably. Before his hand could move, the metal shield suspended not far in front of Bai Zhi had turned into a blade wheel, spinning at high speed, with cold light shining, and every flash took away a bald life.
A corner of the street turned into a one-sided bloody slaughterhouse. A mutated beast broke free from the shackles of the iron chain. Although its owner shouted to stop, it rushed into the slaughterhouse, pounced on Mr. Wu's still squirming body, and started biting.
A sharp alarm whistle sounded in the street, and someone shouted: "Call the security team, the mutant beast is out of control!"
"Come here!" Jiang Ling shouted in surprise, reaching out to pull Bai Zhi to his side.
The sea breeze and autumn are coming, just on the other side of the wall. Bai Zhi took a few steps back and leaned closer to the wall. A man jumped down from the wall, held her arm firmly, and protected her behind him.
Haifeng Qiu Mingming was on his way back to the East China Sea. How did he catch up with him? Jiang Ling was stunned.
Hai Fengqiu didn't look at Jiang Lingyi. He asked Bai Zhi in a low voice: "How are you?"
"It's okay." Bai Zhi answered him briefly. When Zhang Tianzhao and the others teleported over just now, Hai Fengqiu and Qi Haoyu were still near Xinjiang City. How could they be faster than Zhang Tianzhao?
"As long as it's okay." Hai Fengqiu raised his head and said harshly to Jiang Lingyi, "Jiang Lingyi, if you have the guts, don't run away until the rightful owner comes to settle the score with you."
Jiang Lingyi really didn't run away. He clenched his fists and made a desperate gesture, saying, "You must die to make me understand how you came after me?"
"Hao Lang." Hai Fengqiu sneered at him, "He is in the East China Sea."
"That's it." Jiang Lingyi suddenly retreated, white light flashed around him, Zhou Jiangbei appeared briefly and then disappeared with him.
A dozen coordinates were crowded together and teleported to two hundred kilometers away. In such a short time, Bai Zhi has already prepared her skills.
Hai Fengqiu looked at the cunning little woman with her two dimples showing, and asked with a smile: "Is everything okay?"
"No. But I can only walk back." Bai Zhi turned and looked at the corner of the street. Zhang Tianzhao's superpower wave came from the other end of the street, and their speed was also very fast.
Zhang Tianzhao ran over in big strides and hugged Bai Zhi tightly in his arms. His face was paler than usual, and the cold sweat on his forehead had soaked his hair. His heart was beating so fast and he was really scared.
Behind Zhang Tianzhao, Lin Yunlai and Yue Dongting, who were also panting, stopped when they saw Bai Zhi was safe.
Bai Zhi put her face against Zhang Tianzhao's chest and whispered, "I'm fine, and so is my daughter."
"It's okay." Zhang Tianzhao looked at Hai Fengqiu and smiled gratefully.
Haifengqiu smiled and lowered his head. At his feet, Qi Haoyu, who had never shown his face, said to him: "I will go back outside the city to wait for my uncle."
A captain who looked like a captain came with a group of men. His men surrounded and killed the out-of-control mutant dog. He interrogated a few strangers with powers, "What's going on?"
"That guy had a friend who could teleport, and they teamed up to kidnap my wife, so we chased her from outside the city." Zhang Tianzhao smiled bitterly: "These people died before we arrived, and we don't know what happened. .”
Zhang Tianzhao was panting with cold sweat on his head, and Hai Fengqiu looked fine, with a layer of oily sweat on his neck. The tension between the two men was not fake. No less than fifty passers-by could testify that these people had just come running from outside. The man in the pit underground killed someone and never appeared again. A team member went down into the pit to explore for a few minutes, then climbed up and said, "The tunnel leads to the hotel across the road."
"What kind of special powers do you two have?" The captain looked at the two men in front of him warily, still feeling that they were the most likely to commit murder.
Lin Yunlai squeezed in front of the officials, held the captain's hand enthusiastically, and thanked the base repeatedly for protecting its members. Yue Dongting used his body to block others' sight to protect him. Yunlai handed the captain a gold bar. The captain readily characterized the incident as Jiang Lingyi setting up a trap to murder Boss Wu and let them go.
Bai Zhi would probably give birth prematurely if she teleported again, and it was unrealistic to walk back more than 2,000 kilometers away. Zhang Tianzhao and Bai Zhi unanimously decided to stay here temporarily until the birth.
Gu Tianbai personally installed a double-layer defensive cover in the basement that served as a temporary residence, and said: "The defensive cover may not be able to stop them. You should be careful and return to the Dragon Palace immediately after giving birth. This time we found Bai Zhi so quickly, next time They will definitely not choose Bai Zhi as their target again, and they are most likely to choose children. Mian Ning and Ermei will stay in the Dragon Palace from now on."
Bai Zhi lowered her head and did not dare to refute. Zhang Tianzhao held Bai Zhi's hand, nodded solemnly, and said, "We will follow the arrangements of the third brother."
"It is certain that I am the only one known to still have an evolutionary source in my hand. As long as this evolutionary source is still in my hand, no matter whether it is Shicheng Jiang Family, Xinjiang City or Xijing, it will not stop. The team that followed us back to the East China Sea this time, at least Two of them are aiming at the source of evolution." Hai Fengqiu sneered, "I didn't expect that the Shicheng Jiang family would move so quickly and actually target Bai Zhi."
"The best defense is offense. Leave Jiang Lingyi and Zhou Jiangbei to Xiaoshan and Haoyu." Gu Tianbai snorted coldly, "Even if they are of the same kind, they have to pay the price if they want to touch our family."
Bai Zhi still didn't dare to speak. Although she didn't expect Zhou Jiangbei to teleport, if she had been more cautious and waited for Xiao Shan to pass by, Jiang Lingyi would indeed have no chance to take her away. After all, she was careless, which not only brought danger to herself, but also caused trouble to everyone.
"Third brother, please bring in Lu Lei and his team who have been exploring outside. Bai Zhi is here to wait for delivery, and A Zhao and I are just here to touch the bottom of this base and see if we can improve their method of taming animals. Come." Lin Yunlai smiled and his white teeth flashed, "If Bai Zhi hadn't come here, we don't know when we would have discovered that this humble base has good things."
The master is very cute when he is unprincipled sometimes. Bai Zhi smiled gratefully at him.
"Yeah, maybe we won't find out until someone else's wolf cavalry regiment attacks the city." Yue Dongting said with a smile: "Be careful next time you meet an acquaintance. We'll help you with Minning first. You can come back as soon as you're done. .”
"Oh." Bai Zhi agreed honestly and did not refute her point about not laying eggs.
Zhang Tianzhao sent his brothers-in-law and friends out of the protective shield, then came back and hugged Bai Zhi tightly, saying nothing for a long time.
"I'm sorry, I was too careless." Bai Zhi apologized softly.
"I was negligent. We have never met Jiang Ling, so we forgot about him." Zhang Tianzhao smiled bitterly, "Only if they can teleport, Xijing will never be able to find the main cadre of the rebels. That person is Zhou What happened in Jiangbei must have something to do with Zhashui Cave, we still have to look into Hao Guoqing’s past, please inform Hong Xingluan about today’s incident.”
"No, I also guess that this teleportation has something to do with Director Hao. Were you seen by anyone when you teleported here?" Bai Zhi hugged Zhang Tianzhao. Although they were only separated for a short time, Zhang Tianzhao's arms seemed so warm and safe. .
"No one saw it. Those pillars you erected were scary." Zhang Tianzhao lowered his head and smelled Bai Zhi's neck, and was stunned for a moment. After being in close contact with Jiang Lingyi, her smell changed slightly.
"My taste has changed?" Bai Zhi's muscles suddenly tensed. Jiang Lingyi and Zhang Tianlie have exactly the same genes. If Jiang Lingyi caused changes in her body, Zhang Tianlie must have modified her.
"No. It's just that you smell like Jiang Lingyi." Zhang Tianzhao gently stroked Bai Zhi's back, "Relax, it's okay. I'll prepare hot water for you. Just take a bath."
"I want to find out." Bai Zhi looked into Zhang Tianzhao's eyes, "Jiang Lingyi is still alive. He is the same kind. He has been around for three hundred years. It is impossible for us not to deal with him. His affection for me is abnormal, isn't it?"
"How about not mentioning him?" Zhang Tianzhao held Bai Zhi's face, "Don't mention him, let's live a good life. You, me, Mian Ning, and... my daughter, let's call her Mian An, okay?"
Bai Zhi met Zhang Tianzhao's pleading eyes, her heart turned over and over again, and she couldn't say a thousand words. She nodded gently and said, "Okay."
