Chapter 267: Insect King Egg in the Smelting Furnace
Ironclad city bilge, smelting furnace area.
When Li Yinguang was pulled down by Xiaoman, many people were already surrounding him. Even Buhe was present. From the 'd1 type' smelting furnace, some kind of red glow was seeping out.
"what happened?"
Li Yinguang asked curiously, the 'd1 type' smelting furnace is not very big, it is already the top smelting furnace on the market, and it does not scatter the rays of light by itself.
Xiaoman pulled him and walked to the front of the smelting furnace, pointed into it and said, "It's coming out!"
"who?"
Li Yinguang was startled and couldn't help asking curiously.
Xiaoman raised his head and blinked at Li Yinguang: "Brother, why don't you ask the people around you to leave first?"
She wanted Li Yinguang to clear the place. Although she could also give orders, these were Buhe's people. She wanted everyone including Buhe to go out first, leaving only herself and Li Yinguang here.
Li Yinguang raised his hand and waved, and the workers in the armored city behind him turned around and walked outside consciously, leaving only Buhe and his apprentice Batu standing there without moving.
Xiaoman frowned and gently pulled Li Yinguang's arm to indicate that there were two more people.
Li Yinguang frowned slightly, but did not hesitate and chose to believe Xiaoman.
"Old Bu, you two should go out first!"
"yes!"
Buhe hurriedly turned around and walked outside. Batu secretly gritted his teeth, a strange color flashed in his eyes, but on the surface he lowered his head and followed Buhe away.
After everyone walked out, Li Yinguang looked down at Xiaoman and asked with a wry smile: "Is this necessary?"
As a "veteran" in the Iron Armored City, Buhe was trustworthy. At least in Li Yinguang's heart, he had never doubted Buhe's loyalty.
Xiaoman nodded vigorously: "Yes, because it is about to be born. Unless you don't mind it taking over as it pleases, it's best to just leave it here by yourself."
With that said, he walked to the 'D1 type' smelting furnace and opened the door. Black fuel was burning inside, and above the black fuel was a giant egg half as tall as a man.
"Insect King Eggs?" Li Yinguang was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he had carried the three Insect King Eggs back and wanted to taste them, so he asked Snow Lady to 'roast' one, but it was not cooked properly.
He simply threw it into the smelting furnace and burned it for so long. Instead of being charred and melted, the insect king's egg absorbed the properties of the flame and turned red all over, without any sign of hatching.
But at this time, the surface of the insect king's egg was like a spider web with countless tiny cracks all over it, as if there was something inside that was about to break out of the shell.
No wonder Xiaoman kept saying that she was going to give birth soon!
"The habits of insects and beasts are not much different. Most of them will regard the first creature they see as their 'mother' when they open their eyes. Therefore, whether it is insect eggs or animal eggs, they are the easiest to tame.
Oh!" Xiaoman continued.
This is also the reason why she insists on clearing everyone out. There are too many people. Who knows who the first person will see after the little guy inside the insect king's egg breaks out of its shell!
Xiao Man thought for a while and said: "The little insect king that has just broken out of its shell should not be too dangerous. I will go out first and guard you when the time comes. Leave brother here by yourself and prepare to welcome the little insect king.
The Insect King is born and recognizes his master!"
Outside the smelting furnace area, Batu followed Buhe and hummed in a low voice with a very unhappy expression: "What do you mean, City Lord? Doesn't this obviously treat you, master, as the same class as those lowly coolies who burn the smelting furnace!"
"
Buhe frowned slightly and stopped, wondering how he could not hear Batu's provocation.
"Do you want to express your dissatisfaction with the city lord?"
Faced with Buhe's question, Batu was startled, raised his head and asked in a low voice with flashing eyes: "Am I wrong in what I said?"
Snapped!
Buhe raised his hand, rounded his arm, and slapped Batu on the face.
"Beast, have you forgotten your identity? Those coolie workers who run the smelting furnace are inferior people. Who do you think you are? How many times have I told you that there are no superiors or inferiors in the castle's iron-clad city, let alone
High or low, at least these words cannot come out of your mouth. This is contrary to the city lord's philosophy."
Snapped!
After scolding him, he waved his hand and slapped him again.
He continued: "How can a city lord like you, a rat like you, be able to talk and slander behind your back? If it weren't for the city lord, you might have frozen to death in Manbach Town."
Batu lowered his head and his vicious eyes flashed: "Yes, I know I was wrong!"
After saying that, he raised his hand and slapped his face twice hard: "Master, please punish me!" Gudong, kneeling on the ground.
Seeing this, Buhe's stern eyes softened.
He snorted coldly: "If you dare to talk about the city lord behind his back in the future, I will break your legs with my own hands and I will never give you mercy!"
"Yes!" Batu nodded honestly, as if he really knew he was wrong.
"Get up!"
Buhe waited for Batu to get up and said softly: "What is burning in the smelting furnace is the 'Insect King Egg', and the red glow is emitted when the Insect King Egg hatches..."
At this point, Buch stopped. He really liked Batu and subconsciously treated him as his own son. He even wanted to tell him that he had a drop of the spinal fluid of the 'Hell Ghost Monster' in his hand.
, it was a reward from the city lord, and I wanted to give it to him.
But today, Batu actually dared to talk about Li Yinguang behind his back, which somewhat made him a little wary, and he endured the words that came to his lips.
The spinal fluid of the 'Hell Ghost Monster' is by no means something that ordinary people can obtain casually. He was willing to give it to Batu, but before giving it to him, he wanted to test Batu's loyalty again.
If it hadn't been for today's two sentences, Buhe would not have had such thoughts. He could not bring trouble to Li Yinguang in the Castle Iron Armored City.
"Insect King Eggs?" Batu's eyes flickered and asked curiously: "Master, where do Insect King Eggs come from?"
"Don't pry around when you're not supposed to ask." Buch shook his head, with thoughts in his eyes. He turned his head and glanced at the smelting furnace installation area, then turned around and walked forward.
The spider web-like cracks on the surface of the 'Insect King's Egg' are getting bigger and bigger, and are about to burst.
Xiaoman hurriedly pushed Li Yinguang to the front of the 'D1 type' smelting furnace: "She's going to be born soon. You stay here and I'll go out first!"
He turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Li Yinguang. Xiaoman turned around and looked at Li Yinguang in confusion, his eyes seemed to ask, what are you doing?
"You don't have to go out!" Li Yinguang said calmly.
Xiaoman blinked: "When the insect king egg hatches, it will recognize its master!"
Li Yinguang smiled: "Isn't it the same thing to be your pet?"
The hatched 'little insect king', even if it chooses Xiaoman as its master, it doesn't matter much. Besides... who knows what the insect king's egg will hatch out of. What if it is extremely aggressive? Put the little bug king
If you stay by your side, you can transform and resist at critical moments.
Xiaoman was so moved that she didn't expect that Li Yinguang had so many thoughts in his heart. She just felt that her master brother really didn't regard her as an outsider, and she made up her mind to do everything for her master brother in the future.
