Although the control of the wormhole area was still in the hands of the Blue Star people, Malone still used invisibility to hide his figure when he went there, so as not to attract extra attention.
There are still not many people stationed outside the wormhole - Blue Star really can't mobilize more people to guard this place. The converter that extracts the wormhole energy has also been shut down due to the war, and large machinery is parked outside the wormhole.
The date for the start of construction is already far away.
Ma Long only glanced at the surrounding scene, then entered the impulse and started a new round of practice.
The energy body in the wormhole is still turbid, like thick walls, blocking out all interference from the outside world. Here, Ma Long can release the fairy and demonic energy in his body without any scruples, making full use of the golden elixir and
The interaction of demon pills improves the efficiency of cultivation.
Within the impulse, all energy fluctuations are turbid, like a pool of stagnant water. Therefore, the demonic energy released by Ma Long will not overflow to the outside world at all, and it is even less likely to be noticed by Yin Junqi who is in the royal capital. So in
Impulsively, Ma Long was not worried about his whereabouts being exposed. It could be said that as long as no one entered the wormhole, this place was a unique cave, independent of the outside world.
The speed of practicing in the city was hindered before, but today I returned to practice in the wormhole. It was as if a hobbling old man suddenly got on a rocket and sprinted forward. At this time, the speed of practice was also thousands of miles away. The continuous energy was converted into immortals.
Qi filled the golden elixir and demon elixir, and warm currents moistened the whole body.
The night passed slowly...
Closing his eyes and concentrating, Ma Long could feel that he was only one step away from reaching the fourth level of the out-of-body stage, and was at a bottleneck at this time.
"Not even close..." Ma Long opened his eyes and sighed softly, "It's a pity that we don't have enough time."
At this time, it must have been the next day outside, and Ma Long had to go back to the palace. If he was absent for a long time, it would probably cause too much suspicion and trouble.
"Give me another night, I feel like I should be able to break through!" Ma Long is still very satisfied with the current speed of cultivation. If calculated according to normal cultivation, just reaching the bottleneck period of the third level,
It will take several weeks or even months.
Ma Long stood up in the wormhole and wanted to pick up the dragon eggs that had fallen aside. He found that after this night of nourishment, even the dragon eggs had grown a lot bigger. He could originally hold the dragon eggs in his arms.
At this point, I'm afraid I can't even hold my arms together. This dragon egg has really turned into a real "big guy".
Fortunately, Ma Long was able to create a barrier for storage. Otherwise, carrying such a large dragon egg would indeed be a big trouble.
"Black Dragon, I wonder when you will be able to break out of the shell..." Ma Long stroked the smooth egg shell. As soon as he finished speaking, the dragon egg seemed to understand Ma Long's words, and a little warmth appeared on the surface, slowly.
It slowly flowed through Ma Long's palm.
After taking the dragon egg back into the storage barrier, Ma Long got up and walked through the wormhole and returned to the outside world. This time when he came out, Ma Long did not forget to continue to use invisibility to hide his figure. He did not find it until he arrived near the royal capital.
Appearing in a deserted place, he calmly walked back to the capital and entered the palace.
In the early morning, the Royal Capital is shrouded in a peaceful sunshine. The lives of the people here are still going on in an orderly manner, without any panic. But not far outside the Royal Capital, there are already soldiers pressing the situation. But after experiencing
After years of war, the people in the royal capital seem to have become accustomed to this.
"Everything seems to be normal today..." Ma Long murmured to himself as he walked on the street. Although the hostage exchange was to be exchanged in three days, during these three days, Ma Long still did not dare to take it lightly.
, worried about something unexpected happening midway.
Malone had thought about various emergencies, such as the sudden lightning attack by the Gamma Stars on the capital, etc. These were all emergencies that should not be underestimated. But now it seems that everything is business as usual.
Back in the palace, Ma Long noticed that something was wrong with the expressions of the people around him. Everyone seemed to be worried, and even Ma Long, who was walking by, didn't notice.
"What's going on with these people?" Ma Long stopped and turned around to look at the few Blue Star people who just passed by. "Did you get scolded by your boss?"
While he was doubting, he suddenly felt someone approaching quickly from behind. Then, another unfamiliar voice came from behind Ma Long.
"Is it Malone? I just went to your room to look for you, but you weren't there. You're back!" A middle-aged man from Blue Star stopped behind Malone and said urgently.
"Oh, I went out for a walk early in the morning," Malone lied, and then asked, "What happened?"
"Something happened!" the Blue Star man said anxiously. "This morning, when the waiter went to deliver breakfast to Mauriac, he found that the door to the room was locked. No matter how hard he knocked, no one answered. The waiter thought
Mauriac ran away, hurriedly found the master key and opened the house, only to find that——"
"What's wrong?" Ma Long's heart was also piqued.
The Blue Star man looked mournful and said: "It turned out that Mauriak's body was swollen and he had died in the room!"
"What?!" Ma Long was shocked after hearing this, "Dead? You said Mauriac is dead!?"
The Blue Star man nodded vigorously and repeated: "Yes, he is indeed dead. Alas - everything is over!" He sighed heavily.
As he said, everything was over. The important hostage originally used for the exchange died mysteriously at this juncture, so the hostage exchange activities three days later had to have variables. Moreover, he was the only one who could be used to exchange for the princess.
As a hostage, his death will not only make it impossible to explain to the Gamma Stars, but the life of the princess may also be in a huge crisis at this time.
"How did he die?" Ma Long asked.
"It seems that he died of poisoning!" the man replied. "I haven't been to the scene yet - I was just about to go. I heard that the whole body was swollen and the color of the skin completely changed. It was obvious that he was poisoned. And there was a leak in the house.
It was full of poisonous gas, and even the waiter who first discovered the deceased was also affected by the poisonous gas. I heard that he has been sent to the hospital for treatment."
"What about Mauriac himself?" Malone continued. "Has his body been moved?"
The Blue Star man shook his head quickly. "It seems not yet. His death was just discovered, about half an hour ago. I was sent by the king to inform you, but I didn't find you in your room. I thought
I met you here—"
"Then let's go there quickly!" Ma Long trotted towards Mauriac's room without looking back. The first scene of the poisoning, Ma Long had to see with his own eyes.
