Monarch of Evernight: Under the shock of sixty-five

bsp;This was a large-scale shaking. Not only the room, but the entire hotel and even Lingang City were shaking violently. There were cracks crackling on the walls of the room, and dust was falling from the ceiling.

Qianye threw himself in front of the window and looked out. At the end of his field of vision, shacks had begun to collapse in the slums of Lingang City. This kind of shack, which was extremely crude in workmanship and structure, could not withstand the power of the shaking earth.

"Earthquake?"

Ding Shiheng remained calm and shook his head: "It wasn't an earthquake, it was just the ground that turned over, and it passed immediately."

Sure enough, the shaking of the earth only lasted for a few minutes and then gradually stopped. Even so, there are many collapsed and damaged houses throughout Lingang City, but most of them are concentrated in slums.

In fact, Lingang City as a whole is very crude. If it were not clearly marked, it would be difficult for Qianye to tell which is a slum and which is a normal urban area. Only the aristocratic district where the city lord's palace is located has what a big city should look like. However, when earthquakes occur, they are clearly distinguished. Most of the collapsed houses are in slums and rarely occur in urban areas.

After the earthquake trembled, people immediately became busy. Some are cleaning up the ruins, some are recycling materials, and some are treating the injured. Everything is in order, and there is order in the chaos. It is obvious that similar situations have happened many times, and even the people at the lowest level have become accustomed to it. And know how to deal with it.

Those shacks are extremely simple, basically just a few pillars and a roof frame. The roofs and walls are made of thin wooden boards. If they collapse, there won't be much damage. Even if they are buried in the rubble, they can be easily rescued. Such a shack can be built again in less than a day.

The hotel where Qianye is located, as well as some obviously much better houses around it, are mostly supported by steel structures. Most of them only tilt a little in the shaking of the earth. A person with a third-level or fourth-level cultivation level The steel structure can be straightened and re-consolidated. As for finishing the walls and ceilings, that is a very simple matter that can be done by ordinary people. In addition, since the furniture is also of the simplest style, there is no loss even if it is damaged.

After the shaking passed, a waiter knocked on the door soon. He did not come in, but said outside the door: "Dear guests, please don't panic. Someone will repair the damage to your room soon, and everything will be restored to its original state before dinner."

After saying this, the waiter went to the next room and informed the guests one by one.

At this moment, the earth was still shaking slightly, and Qianye keenly noticed that on the partially exposed soil, the ground rippled like water waves. Although it is subtle, it is obviously not what an earthquake should be.

"What is that?" Qianye was more afraid than interested in this existence that could cause the entire city to tremble.

This is obviously not a secret in Lingang City. Ding Shiheng replied without hesitation: "It is a legendary giant creature hidden deep in the earth. It is also said to be a giant beast in the void, but no one has really seen it. Every once in a while, it will turn over or stir. Now this time it is just a slight turn. If it turns over once every few years, it will last for a few days, and then most of Lingang City will collapse. ."

Qianye finally understood why the city's architecture was so strange. It was designed to facilitate reconstruction. The source is obviously the turning over and restlessness of this place. In the entire city, it seems that only the city lord's palace and the noble district are permanent buildings. Other buildings, even if they use steel structural frames, are unable to support the turbulence that occurs every few years.

Qianye's eyes turned blue and he looked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. In the real field of vision, the buildings in the entire aristocratic district are glowing with a faint glow of the Force and are protected by protective force fields. The light from the City Lord's Mansion was even more intense. There was a layer of light covering the entire mansion, and a force shield was actually built. Even in the empire, this gesture is not too small.

Seeing this, Qianye had a new understanding of the strength of Lingang City Lord. In a neutral place, if you don't have enough strength, you can't protect such a huge wealth.

At this time, many people in the city rushed to the streets, gathered into a stream of people, and hurried out of the city.

"What are they going to do?"

Ding Shiheng said: "They are all hunted. Every time the earth turns over, some unique creatures will be driven up from the depths of the ground. For example, rainbow fish and agouti can only be caught at this time."

Rainbow and agouti are the specialties of Lingang City. Not only do they taste great, but eating more of them can also enhance your perception of the Force, thereby slightly increasing your cultivation speed, so they are very popular. And for demons, their taste is almost irresistible, and they are important goods for smuggling trade.

In addition, when the ground becomes dry, rare special species from deeper underground will be driven into the shallow underground. This is also the only chance to hunt them. At this moment, Qianye understood why homes had to be rebuilt every few years and why so many people wanted to settle in Lingang City.

Qianye asked again about the distribution of the main forces in Lingang City. After getting all the required information, he asked Ding Shiheng to leave.

Ding Shiheng was worthy of being the local leader of Lingang City, and he came to the hotel again the next morning. As soon as he entered the room, all his arrogance disappeared, and he stood respectfully in front of Qianye, not squinting, turning a blind eye to Ye Tong and Zhu Ji next to him.

The news he brought made Qianye frown and said, "You mean, there is indeed an old man who meets the characteristics who came to Lingang City, but after meeting the Xue family, the next day Just disappeared?"

"Yes, the villain has used all the hidden clues in his hands, but he can't find his whereabouts. There is speculation." Ding Shiheng secretly looked at Qianye's expression. After all, to him, the Xue family is a giant. When it comes to these big families, even the simplest things will become extremely complicated.

"Say it."

"It is said that the Xue family's guards made unusual changes that day. So some people speculate that the Xue family may have taken Mr. Cui away."

Qianye raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Have you verified this news with anyone from the Xue family?"

Ding Shiheng said carefully: "This adult, with his status as a villain, can only come into contact with the lower class people of the Xue family at most. They know nothing about this, so it is possible that the Xue family has nothing to do with this matter, and another Maybe it’s a secret in the Xue family, and not many people know about it. If it’s the latter possibility, there’s really nothing I can do about it.”

Qianye nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. Tell me the location of the Xue family. If possible, it is best to get me a map of the Xue family."

Ding Shiheng stood up and said, "I'll do it now, little man."

In the evening, Ding Shiheng had already sent over Xue Zhai’s map. I have to say that this local snake is quite capable in his work.

With a location and a map, preparation is enough. In the dead of night, Qianye and Yetong left the hotel and disappeared into the night.

Xue's house was naturally built in the aristocratic area, but the scale was not large, just three in and one out. The so-called not big, but compared with other cities, it is an out-and-out luxury house in Lingang City. In the aristocratic district, every building must be equipped with a Force array that can resist ground shaking. Even for the sake of face, the house cannot be damaged. Therefore, as the house gets bigger, the consumption of the Force Array will become very terrifying.

Before this, Qianye had found out clearly that the person living in the Xue residence was a branch of the Xue family, and that there were manpower stationed by the family to support him. The Xue family has many properties inside and outside the city, all of which are under the jurisdiction of this place.

Qianye stood not far away, looking at the house.

Xue's residence has high walls and wide doors, and has the style of an imperial family building. However, it is not one-tenth the size of a real aristocratic family, and cannot be compared with the Zhao family's mansion, which is half a city.

"Let's go in and have a look." Qianye greeted Ye Tong, jumped up and landed on the courtyard wall.

Through Ding Shiheng, Qianye knew that the most powerful person in the Xue family at the moment was Xue Haiyang, the head of the side branch. As a thirteenth-level general, it is more than enough to protect the Xue family's interests in Lingang City.

It was already late at night, and the lights in most places in the house were turned off. Several guards were patrolling back and forth, and two secret sentries were posted. This kind of guarding is considered to be very careful, and most of the mercenary adventurers with unscrupulous intentions can take advantage of it. But of course this couldn't help Qianye. He jumped up, silently passed over a group of guards and entered the back house.

Yeye Tong also landed next to Qianye, glanced at the back house, and then pointed to the main room of the main house.

Qianye nodded and came to the door. With a flash of red light in his hand, the blood-sucking blade cut off the door lock inside, making only a faint sound. However, this sound had already awakened the people in the room, who shouted: "Who is it?"

Qianye pushed open the door, and Ye Tong rushed into the room like lightning, placing the blood-sucking blade on the neck of the man on the bed.

The man on the bed was about forty years old. He just raised his body and froze there. The blood-sucking blade was extremely sharp, and before it actually made contact, it left a thin line of blood on the skin of his throat.

There was also a rather coquettish woman on the bed, but she was not awakened. She just turned over, revealing her white and plump skin, and she was actually wearing nothing.

The man was not surprised at all, and said in a deep voice: "Xue Haiyang is the head of the Xue family branch. He also holds a position in the Xue family's old house. I wonder what you can do to find Xue?"

Qianye closed the door and said, "Mr. In your hand?"

As soon as this name was mentioned, Xue Haiyang's face suddenly changed. His calmness and calmness were completely replaced by horror, and he lost his voice and said: "You are the people the Wolf King wants!"

"The Wolf King is very generous. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have known that my head was worth so much money." Qianye said with a smile.

Xue Haiyang's heart immediately sank. He looked at the blood-sucking blade resting on his throat again, with a wry smile on his face and said, "You two, it turns out you are a vampire."

Qianye said calmly: "She is, I am not. But this is not important. Mr. Xue, are you planning to delay time? This is meaningless."

Xue Haiyang smiled bitterly and said: "I know, you even dare to kill the son of the Wolf King, so how can you care about a little person like me. Cui Yuanhai did come to see me. This matter was too big, so I reported it to the master. . The owner’s response is to temporarily detain the person and keep him under strict supervision.”

"What about people?"

Xue Haiyang became even more helpless and whispered: "Taken away."
