"Let's go and see Lao Fan's luck," Brother Niu quickly followed Fan Xuewu.
"Just the rest of us, please don't go there. The third brother of the Dragon and Tiger Gang is in charge today, and he's a ruthless boss. It's okay if you win, but if you lose, you'll definitely vent your anger on the bystanders," Liu Ge shrank towards the gambling table.
neck.
Brother Bai also said: "Yeah. Brother Fan is good at everything, but he likes gambling. The few gold coins he earns a year are all lost on dice. With this money, marrying a girl and having a baby will be a happy life
A family."
"How about eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and smoking, which are the five major evils in life," Brother Huang also lamented.
Shu Xingbei sat aside and listened silently. When he first arrived, he was not familiar with the situation and didn't know how other people were, so he mainly watched in silence.
A green ant crawled onto the table.
Shu Xingbei held the ant in his hand curiously.
"No, these ants are poisonous," Brother Liu was surprised when he saw it.
Before Shu Xingbei put the ant down, the ant bit Shu Xingbei's index finger.
Shu Xingbei felt pain, and when he loosened his hand, the ant fell to the ground. Looking at his fingers, they had become red and swollen.
"What a careless person." Brother Liu poured a drop of wine from the flask and wiped it on Shu Xingbei's finger, "Disinfect. The sea ants are still in the larval stage and are not very toxic. If they are adults, don't say you are like this.
A finger, even the right hand has to be chopped off."
The northern face of Shuxing turned white.
"Yes, yes, why are there sea ants here?" Brother Bai was a little surprised.
"What's so strange about the larvae crawling in? When most people see it, don't they just brush it off with their sleeves? It's just that Brother Shu is inexperienced and suffered a small loss," Brother Zheng said at the side.
Shu Xingbei felt an indescribable heat spreading along the index finger of his right hand toward the palm of his hand. Fortunately, the heat disappeared after a while.
The reason why he picked up the sea ants was because he remembered books about animal languages. The sea ants were crawling around just now without making any sound. How did they communicate?
At this time, there were suddenly more sensations in his mind. From these sensations, Shu Xingbei could even know that in addition to the sea ant just now, there were hundreds of sea ants scurrying around in the room.
It seems that Shu Xingbei can contact them with just a thought.
Several people at the table were chatting, but Brother Liu looked at Shu Xingbei's uncertain expression and couldn't help but ask: "Look at your fingers, are you feeling better?"
"No problem, thank you Brother Liu," Shu Xingbei raised his finger and smiled at Brother Liu.
"That's it for tonight. If you want to win, come back tomorrow night and I will continue to be the banker," a roar came from the other side of the gambling table. It was the third son of the Dragon and Tiger Gang that Brother Liu mentioned.
The people at the gambling table dispersed cursing. Fan Xuewu also came back dejectedly. Brother Niu patted him on the shoulder, "I just lost two gold coins. I won ten gold coins in the past. I asked you to stop when you feel like it. Don't you want to?"
.”
"Let's go, let's go," Fan Xuewu's face was gloomy. He picked up the wine bottle on the table and shook it. He found that there was no drop of wine in it, and he placed the wine bottle heavily on the table in annoyance.
A group of people from the Jishi Organization walked out one after another.
When Shu Xingbei returned to his residence, he was not in a hurry to rest. He continued to feel the presence of sea ants. One meter, two meters, five meters, and five meters away were about a dozen. Eight meters, ten meters, fifteen meters, two
Ten meters away, there are more than 300 sea ants in total. They are running around, looking for food.
As the feeling became clearer, Shu Xingbei tried to contact a sea ant five meters away.
"

What's going on?" The sea ant raised its head and asked a little confused.
"It's okay. Is there anything to eat?" Shu Xingbei thought for a while and passed on his thoughts.
"Looking for it," the sea ant said impatiently.
"I found something to eat and called you," Shu Xingbei tried to get close to it. On Changqing Island, if he could get sea ants to be his helpers, he would undoubtedly have an extra trump card.
"Okay," Sea Ant became really happy, "What do you call brothers?"
What to call it? Shu Xingbei was stunned. Do sea ants also have names? Aren’t all ants the same?
Picking a random name? No. That would reveal the truth.
"What about you? If you were older than me, I would call you brother," Shu Xingbei asked rhetorically in desperation.
"My name is Seventeen," the message conveyed by the sea ant was very clear.
Seventeen? Is it in the order of birth, or is it the order arranged by the leading ant?
Shu Xingbei thought about it and fabricated: "My name is ninety-nine." He wanted to report something other than a hundred, but he was worried that it would be self-defeating.
"He's my little brother, hey, call me brother when you have something to eat," the sea ant replied.
"Okay. I promise to find something delicious as soon as possible," Shu Xingbei responded.
He retreated from his thoughts and cut off contact with the sea ants, unable to contain the excitement in his heart.
After struggling until early in the morning, he fell asleep in a daze.
By the time Fan Xuewu woke him up, the sky was already bright.
"Boss Cao called us over," Fan Xuewu lost money last night and his face didn't look good.
After breakfast, Lao Cao called Wang Jian again. According to the task arrangement, Lao Cao asked questions, and Shu Xingbei and Fan Xuewuji took notes.
"Tell me what happened again," Lao Cao said to Wang Jian.
Wang Jian repeated what he said last night, and Shu Xingbei confirmed that what he said last night was correct.
"Boss Cao, how should we solve this problem next?" Wang Jian saw Shu Xingbei and Fan Xuewu taking notes and didn't take it seriously. Since Old Cao came to investigate, he must take notes.
"I can't find Mo Laodiao. Where is the Red Lady?" Lao Cao asked.
"The Red Lady went to sea and is not on the island. According to the news I heard, she will be back today," Wang Jian replied.
"Okay. Contact the Red Lady, we want to meet with her," Lao Cao's eyes lit up.
Wang Jian went out, and Lao Cao looked at Shu Xingbei, "I went to rest at No. 4 last night. How did you feel?"
Shall we take a rest on the 4th? Shu Xingbei immediately realized that he must be talking about the place he went to last night.
"I opened my eyes and drank a little wine," he replied truthfully.
"Whether it's drinking or gambling, it's okay to do it occasionally, but it can't delay business," Lao Cao said, giving Fan Xuewu a meaningful sideways glance.
Shu Xingbei nodded repeatedly. Two gold coins were exchanged for two taels of wine. One glance showed that the wine was worth a lot. He didn't even have gold coins, and he wasn't even qualified to buy wine, let alone gamble.
"Compare the records you two made. We'll wait for Wang Jian to come back," Lao Cao said.
Fan Xuewu and Shu Xingbei each took out the records they made. After comparing them, they found that the content and time recorded above were exactly the same. In other words, there were no mistakes or omissions in what Wang Jian said.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Jian came back, with a look of shame on his face, "The Red Lady has returned to the island, but she said she wanted to take a rest and would not see guests for the time being. I named the Illuminati, but it didn't work."
"Don't be in a hurry. Just wait a few days and see if it doesn't work. Let's go to Mi Island.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"Lao Cao quickly made arrangements.
I had nothing to do, so I stayed on Changqing Island just to look around. Brother Liu at the transfer station was very kind to Shu Xingbei. He accompanied Shu Xingbei around and introduced him to him from time to time.
"Is the island protected by some force? Or is it within the scope of some force?" Shu Xingbei asked.
Brother Liu heard Shu Xingbei's question and smiled slightly, "Brother Shu has a very keen sense. You guessed it right, Changqing Island is indeed protected by forces. Although they are powerful, they have not conquered the entire island.
Included in the sphere of influence.”
"Why?"
"Changqing Island is in the middle of many waterways. Not only us, but other forces also have transfer stations here. No matter which company, don't try to monopolize this place. If you are not careful, you will become the target of public criticism. Let alone the island.
There are captains and sailors who are proficient in navigation. They have passed through dangerous seas many times, and various forces regard these people as treasures. As for the protective force that maintains order, it is naturally Spear," Liu Ge replied.
, Sure enough, Shu Xingbei had expected it. For such a huge creature, it would be strange to say that the tentacles did not extend here.
After lunch, Shu Xingbei collected some sea animal bones. After returning to his residence, he tried to contact Shi Qi again. Now the range he could sense sea ants did not exceed fifty meters. He could not sense them at any farther distance.
Fortunately, Shi Qi was only about ten meters away from him. Shu Xingbei placed the bone by the door and guided Shi Qi over to eat.
Seventeen quickly caught the scent of the food. While it was feasting, it did not forget to thank Shu Xingbei, "Ninety-nine, eh, you, you mutated? In human form? This, this is impossible."
Shu Xingbei panicked. He was still counting on Shi Qi and the other sea ants to be his trump card. If Shi Qi noticed something unusual, he didn't know what would happen.
"I didn't turn into a human form, I just attached to him. He is my good friend," Shu Xingbei conveyed the message, trying his best to resolve the situation in front of him.
"That's pretty much it. That's right, the most mutated ones will grow wings, just like No. 4," Seventeen was no longer surprised.
Did the sea ants grow wings? Shu Xingbei was horrified. According to Brother Liu, if he was bitten by an adult sea ant, he couldn't even save his hand. It would be great if the sea ants with wings could be used for his own purposes.
"Can you contact Fourth Brother?" Shu Xingbei asked.
"Want to curry favor with Number Four? Humph, all the brothers in this area are my subordinates. Do you want to betray me?" Seventeen was unhappy.
Yes, it turns out that Shi Qi is still the boss. Forget it, Shu Xingbei gave up the idea of contacting Sea Ant No. 4. If Shi Qi is comforted, he has nothing to worry about here.
"That's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask where it found the method of mutation," Shu Xingbei quickly replied.
"I don't know what kind of blood it sucked, but it grew wings in a few days. Ninety-nine, don't worry, it doesn't matter if you don't have wings, we have many brothers. If you need anything, please contact Brother Qi," Qi Qi said nonchalantly.
"Then I'd like to thank Brother Seventeen first," Shu Xingbei was overjoyed. He kept busy and busy, and this was the result he wanted. Unexpectedly, it actually came true.
It rained heavily on the island in the afternoon, and it was like dripping water turning into ice outside. Shu Xingbei huddled in the room and practiced boxing. No one, whether it was Lao Cao, Fan Xuewu or Brother Liu, came to look for him.
In the evening, when the rain stopped, a shout suddenly came from outside, "Wang Tou, Fan Xuewu is under the control of the Longhu Gang."
