As soon as Shang Ying finished speaking, a crisp laughter came from the front of the street.
"Yeah?"
That was the voice of a young woman.
Zhou Yue raised his head and saw three figures walking out of the night.
On the left is Lu Daozi, who we met just once at the theater but didn't agree with each other.
To the right is a figure with a ghostly figure that looks like a shadow in the lake. Even Zhou Yue's induction power cannot lock him in, but Zhou Yue recognizes the thoughts in his body.
It was the master who had hidden in the dark and created the illusion that Qi Wenzhu and the others had committed suicide.
Shang Ying raised her head and stared at the man with a depressed expression, but there was a rare solemnity in her eyes.
Zhou Yue's eyes were fixed on the young woman in the middle.
Under the moonlight, she is wearing a rose-colored dress swaying in the wind, with long hair reaching her waist, a face like the full moon, eyes like autumn water, and her whole body exudes a pure and flawless yet unattainable grace.
The young woman was also sizing up Zhou Yue, and said slowly: "I went to the busy city at night and turned my back on my words. You are worthy of being the number one person in the Seventh Academy. Only people like you can let Li Fan be rejected."
There was no concealment of her appreciation in her words.
But Zhou Yue didn't think so. The woman gave him a very contradictory feeling, or in other words, it was against his will.
This street was not considered remote, but at this time it was empty, with only the five of them left.
Obviously, this place had been cleared long before Zhou Yue and Shang Ying arrived.
In most cases, the purpose of clearing the place is not to let others see it.
Several thoughts flashed through Zhou Yue's mind, but he finally chose to wait and see.
He smiled and said, "So, you are a descendant of the Lei family?"
The woman returned the smile: "After Lei Yuan, Lei Linlou. You already know the general situation of the incident fifteen years ago from Qi Wenzhu and the other three. In fact, it was because something went wrong in one of the links that caused the incident.
Tragedy happened. After the incident, I, the Lei family, also felt very guilty. However, in exchange for the misfortune of those five hundred families, the human federation and even the earth had peace for at least fifteen years. Zhou Yue, do you want to know?"
The smile on Zhou Yue's face did not diminish and he said: "I don't want to."
A strange color flashed in Lei Linlou's eyes, he lowered his head and smiled, and then said: "The regulations of the Federal Parliament stipulate that any family in the lower capital city that moves to the upper capital city will be rewarded with spiritual resources for that year.
It happened to be my Lei family's turn to distribute. And that year happened to be the 'Lingdao War Year', and all kinds of resources in the federation were in short supply. At the same time, my Lei family was conducting a new experimental research. If it succeeds
, will benefit the federation and even the world... Unfortunately, all of this happened at the same time. On one side is the reward of 500 households, and on the other side is the unstoppable experiment. Zhou Yue, if it were you, what would you do?"
"In order to save resources, you secretly destroy the future of five hundred families, under the pretext of benefiting all mankind?" Zhou Yue chuckled and asked, "What is your purpose in telling me this?"
"I said, what happened back then turned into a tragedy because one of the things went wrong." Lei Linlou's tone became calmer: "I'm telling you this because I want to invite you to stay at our Lei family for a while. Besides, even if
I won’t tell you, but with your relationship with Tang Nianyi, you will know everything sooner or later."
Hearing the words "Tang Nianyi" and the hint of threat in the other party's tone, Zhou Yue couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
Previously in the theater, Zhou Yue was still very surprised when he heard Qi Wenzhu and the others said that the mastermind behind the scenes fifteen years ago was the Lei family, a family descended from the great master who lived in seclusion in the upper-class capital.
The Lei family are the descendants of Grandmaster Lei Yuan.
And almost everyone knows that Grandmaster Lei Yuan is the founder of Lei Neng Group.
This has also brought Grandmaster Lei Yuan's status in the hearts of the citizens of the Huaya Federation to an astonishing height. Outside the capital, he is on par with Grandmaster Bai Yan, but within the capital, he has clearly stabilized Bai Yan.
.
Many people may think that since the Lei Neng Group was founded by Grandmaster Lei Yuan, it is the private property of the Lei family. Zhou Yue also thought so a long time ago.
Until Tang Xiaobai told Zhou Yue the truth - in fact, the Lei Neng Group back then was funded and established by people of insight in the capital, and its original intention was to conduct cutting-edge telekinetic research.
Grandmaster Lei Yuanda is one of the leaders and has indeed left many research results, but he is only one of the shareholders of Lei Neng Group.
Just because of his status as a grand master and various legends from the past, Lei Neng Group eventually became part of its legend.
However, Lei Neng Group has never publicly spread the rumors, perhaps for the purpose of leveraging the reputation of Grand Master Lei Yuan.
Lei Linlou...Tang Nianyi...what kind of entanglements will there be between them?
If not, Lei Linlou wouldn't have that tone when he mentioned Xiao Bai.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yue gave up his plan to continue entangled with Lei Linlou.
He said: "It seems like we can't talk anymore."
Lei Linlou was not surprised. He sighed lightly and said with regret: "That's right. Considering the relationship between you and Tang Nianyi, I shouldn't have expectations for you. It's a pity that you rejected Li Fan's peak team before.
Invitation. Otherwise, as the vice-captain of this team, it would be hard for me to take action against you."
After saying that, Lei Linlou clapped his hands gently.
From one side of the long street, five waves of fighting spirit with strange thoughts poured out, like a rushing tide, rushing towards them.
Zhou Yue was startled.
He had never felt such thoughts before.
From the surrounding roofs, alleys, and street corners, giant beasts appeared one after another, including wolf-shaped giant beasts, leopard-shaped giant beasts, bird-shaped giant beasts, scorpion-shaped giant beasts, and even a giant insect.
But Zhou Yue could not identify their origins, let alone their names.
Their eyes are cold and dark, like a bottomless abyss.
Many parts of their bodies have been covered by exoskeleton metal armor, and it looks like they have directly replaced their body parts.
The thoughts flowing from them are somewhere between life and death, and the proportion of the latter is obviously higher than the former.
Zhou Yue was surprised to find that the identification function of the property panel, including the spiritual pet reception room, was all disabled at this moment.
"This is the product that my Lei family spent all their efforts to develop fifteen years ago - the Necromancer Armor Legion. In the battle of the spiritual path that year, the pinnacle team of our human federation relied on the Necromancer Armor.
team, defeating the top team of the Free City State at the last minute.”
Lei Linlou said, sighing softly: "But don't worry, I won't kill you. It's just that during this critical period, letting you stay outside is too great a threat to our Lei family. I know you won't do it willingly."
Come with me, so this is the only last resort. Uncle Yuan, go and take that lady with you."
The person she calls "Uncle Yuan" is the strange master who killed Qi Wenzhu and three others before.
Hearing this, he twisted his body and floated slowly towards Shang Ying. At the same time, a dark "space gate" appeared above his head. It was not a contract chain space, but more like a "fog".
From the mist, a pitch-black giant python emerged. Its body was embedded with silver armor and striped rings, and it was half flesh and half machine.
Shang Ying raised her head, her expression still depressed, and murmured in a low voice: "So ugly."
While speaking, she also opened the contract chain and summoned the golden-winged python.
In an instant, two giant pythons, one gold and one black, collided together like rushing lightning, making a sound like thunder and causing waves of energy to spread out.
Shang Ying sat cross-legged on the head of the golden-winged python, while Uncle Yuan stood on the head of the undead demon-armored python. While controlling their respective spiritual pets, the two of them sent out various mental spells in seconds to attack each other.
Zhou Yue frowned slightly.
Although Shang Ying with a depressive personality is also very good at fighting, her fighting ability is obviously weaker than that of her with a violent personality. Fortunately, so far, the two masters are evenly matched.
But what surprised Zhou Yue was that the semi-mechanical python actually had the upper hand on the scene and steadily suppressed Shang Ying's golden-winged python!
You know, this golden-winged python has reached level 20!
It's just one step away from transcendence.
In other words, even if the semi-mechanical giant python of the Lei Family Grandmaster opposite was not level 21, it was still almost the same.
"Wait a minute, could this be... the 'resurrection plan' over which the two great masters had differences?"
Zhou Yue was shocked.
In Grandmaster Bai Yan's notes, it is recorded that when he and Grandmaster Lei Yuan were still close friends, they once conceived a plan to resurrect miraculous creatures who died in battle.
It was at that time that the two people's ideas differed.
Grand Master Bai Yan advocates resurrecting the physical body while also reviving the spiritual intelligence.
Grand Master Lei Yuan put forward the concept of "strengthening the physical body and destroying spiritual intelligence" to facilitate mindfulness cultivators to control it.
This research ultimately ended in failure, but this created a estrangement between the two extremely talented masters, which also paved the way for their future separation.
Unexpectedly, this experiment was completed by the descendants of Grandmaster Lei Yuan.
Thinking about it, it must have continued Grandmaster Lei Yuan's idea of "strengthening the physical body and destroying the spiritual intelligence".
No wonder the attribute panel can't sense it, and the spiritual pet reception room doesn't work either. Strictly speaking, they are not living creatures!
The cold night wind blew in from outside the long street.
The five undead demon armored beasts were also under Lei Linlou's control, following suit and surrounding Zhou Yue.
Strong pressure came rushing over.
Zhou Yue's expression remained unchanged as he released leopard heads and black cats to guard in front and behind him.
Then he gently tapped the pet care cabin, and a small pimple flew out and stood on his shoulder.
Lei Linlou's gaze shot towards the pet care cabin on Zhou Yue's chest, his eyes incomprehensible: "Tang Nian has given this to you. Your relationship is indeed extraordinary."
Zhou Yue's heart moved. Could it be that this "internal beta product that is about to be launched" in Tang Xiaobai's mouth is actually not that simple?
Lu Daozi, the master of the eighth realm, glanced at Zhou Yue's three spiritual pets thoughtfully, with complicated eyes, and took a step back: "Niece Lei, as promised before, you only have a quarter of an hour. We are both from the Federation.
Talented people, please don’t kill them.”
Lei Linlou smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Uncle Lu, I won't embarrass you. In fact, it doesn't even take a quarter of an hour."
After saying that, waves of light flashed in her eyes.
Phew! Phew!
The five-meter-long undead demon wolf to the east and the slightly smaller undead demon scorpion to the south flew out at the same time and flew towards Zhou Yue.
"Monster! Meow!"
The black cat roared, grew bigger, jumped up, and faced the undead demon wolf.
The leopard head also roared and rushed towards the undead scorpion.
Zhou Yue looked at Shang Ying and the golden-winged giant python on the other side who were retreating steadily. He gradually became uneasy and called out quickly: "Get up, Leopard Head, go straight to the ultimate move!"
Black Cat Qi and Leopard Tou are just his disciples, not spiritual companions. Therefore, they can only give verbal reminders during battle, but cannot control them directly.
Fortunately, Leopard Head has always been obedient.
And these days, Black Cat Qi, who has been completely forgotten by the black cat clan in the capital, has become much more well-behaved than before.
After hearing Zhou Yue's prompt, Black Cat Qi used the Big Cat Insecticidal Palm without hesitation!
"Meow! Little wolfdog! Get down here, this cat!"
Leopard Transformation + Big Cat Insect Killing Palm, through its level 14 physical fitness, explodes with power that is unstoppable for ordinary level 15 or 16 miraculous creatures, as if the night has fallen, grabbing at the expressionless undead demon wolf on the opposite side
.
Zhou Yue watched the black cat take a slap that was sure to win, and for some reason, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
The next second, Zhou Yue's expression changed slightly: "Flash!"
Before he finished speaking, an ice-blue telekinetic light cannon was ejected from the mouth of the undead demon wolf's wide-open and deformed exoskeleton machine. It was somewhat like the telekinetic weapons of the capital soldiers that Zhou Yue met outside the theater, but it was so powerful.
It's obviously more than ten times stronger.
Bang!
The big cat's insect-killing palm was defeated by the telekinetic light cannon. The black cat meowed, spun upside down in the air, and landed heavily on the ground.
On the other side, the undead scorpion, which was tens of meters away from the leopard's head, suddenly raised its back tail, and the scorpion tail poisonous needle made of pure metal rotated and lengthened and flew out, instantly spanning a distance of tens of meters and hitting accurately.
Leopard head.
Bang!
Thanks to his leopard head and silver armor, he took a shot from the undead scorpion and flew backwards.
After just one encounter, Zhou Yue's two spiritual pets were completely defeated.
Zhou Yue initially estimated that the combat power levels of the Necromancer Wolf and the Necromancer Scorpion were at least level fifteen.
Lei Linlou said: "It seems that you don't even need five minutes. Sister Ming and Li Fan seem to have too high an evaluation of you. By the way, you also have a trump card, the sleeping mackerel that is said to grow in size. Quickly
Let me open your eyes."
As he spoke, a wave of light flashed through Lei Linlou's eyes again.
The undead demon eagle that landed on the roof spread out its giant metal wings nearly ten meters long, roared into the sky, and hovered in the air, staring intently at the sleeping crow on Zhou Yue's shoulder.
"Sure enough, it is still the concept developed by Bai Yan and Lei Yuan back then. According to the control of thoughts, she is in the fifth realm, so she can control five undead demon armored beasts."
Zhou Yue thought to himself.
While Black Maoqi and Leopard Tou were fighting each other, he had figured out the general method of controlling Lei Linlou.
The undead armored beast is not a living creature, so there is no need to sign a contract, and it is easier and more convenient to control, and more direct and violent.
This is also the advantage of "removing spiritual intelligence" that Grandmaster Lei Yuan repeatedly emphasized.
However, it has an unavoidable destiny - it requires extremely high mental power from the operator, and consumes a lot of energy during the battle.
A hint of regret arose in Zhou Yue's heart.
If Hei Wuchang, Xiao Jian, and Huang Huihong could all be summoned, with their numerical advantage, they might be able to wear down the opponent through consumption.
However, they are either sleeping or doing business outside.
So tonight, we can only rely on Xiao Ma Tuan and Er Cha.
Zhou Yue's eyes flashed, and the small pockmark flew from his shoulders to his arms.
"They don't seem to be able to hypnotize or irritate! Benefactor, prepare the spiritual food quickly! I will activate the back-to-the-city Dharma now!" Xiao Ma Tuan said solemnly.
Zhou Yue gently stroked the little pockmark and then let go.
"No, tonight is a team battle, which requires another skill of yours."
