Chapter 107 The King of Fear
Zhong Lixuan looked troubled. What Guan Liyuan said before shocked him so much!
No wonder Guan Liyuan insisted on driving Zhong Liqiu out and explained the matter to Zhong Lixuan alone despite the risk of being bitten...
The beast of burden mutates? Infected with some kind of "virus"? Can an infected beast of burden turn into an abyss leader at any time?
"Otherwise, let's talk about whether you want to be my son-in-law..."
"Hey! Dad, what are you talking about? Who is your son-in-law? Do you need to talk to me? By the way... what did you just say?" Zhong Liqiu heard some keywords and barged in from the door again.
Ignoring Zhong Liqiu, who obviously had problems with his focus, Guan Liyuan first stopped Zhong Lixuan from trying to act like an ostrich: "Uncle Zhongli, what I said is true! And these two reagents are already available..."
"But there are only three copies each... And you said it was a mysterious old man who took you out specially last night and told you this... Why do I feel like I made it up?"
Zhonglihuan is not a fool either!
"It's true! A master in this field discovered the truth of this matter, specially developed two reagents and gave them to me!" Guan Liyuan killed this explanation.
Being able to take Guan Liyuan away from Zhongli's home quietly, and then send him back quietly...
It cannot be said that there are no such experts, but why do "experts" waste so much effort?
If there are really any research results, can’t you just hand them over to the alliance yourself? Do you have to borrow Guan Liyuan's hand?
But although this matter sounded unreasonable no matter how I heard it, Zhong Lixuan decided to take Guan Liyuan to meet with the alliance councilors after being entangled...
Firstly, Guan Liyuan has no reason to play tricks on him for no reason, and once what Guan Liyuan said is true, the alliance must react immediately; secondly... although this matter sounds strange, Zhongli's family's instinct It made him feel that at least 80% of what Guan Liyuan said was true!
"In a while, the members of the alliance will have a meeting with the heads of the major families... Then you will go with me." Zhonglihuan said.
If there were more samples for the reagent, Zhong Lixian could try it himself first.
But now there are only three copies of each reagent!
In addition, if it is true, a copy must be kept for research, and not all beasts of burden may be infected, so there is no room for experiments in advance...
Even if the infection rate is not high enough, even if what Guan Liyuan said is true, the verification is likely to fail!
However, according to Zhong Lixian's speculation, if what Guan Liyuan said is true, I am afraid that the beasts of burden at the supply point near Dulan City already have a very high infection rate...
Due to several previous attacks by mutant abyss leaders, Councilor Cai finally revealed the true situation to the patriarchs of the major families.
The reason why all the members of the Duran City Council have been facing a formidable enemy recently is because an astrologer discovered that the "King of Fear" had set his "eyes" on Duran City a month ago!
Like "Summoner", "Prophetist" also refers to a type of professional, and "Astrologer" is one of them. "Prophetist" is even rarer than super-level professionals. Once awakened , will be immediately protected by the alliance.
The prophet's combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning, but he has many special abilities and must predict and sense the coming of some crises!
"...So you understand, right? When everyone is so nervous, if there is a problem with your intelligence, it will not be of the same nature as your wrong guess last time!" Zhong Lixuan said.
Outside the Duran City Alliance Council, Zhong Lixuan emphasized to Guan Liyuan once - this is definitely not something to joke about.
Guan Liyuan looked at Zhong Lijian and said helplessly: "Uncle Jian... are you sure you should tell me about this?"
It seems that the alliance hesitated for a long time before telling these family heads, right?
Did you tell Guan Liyuan so easily? Are you really not worried that it will cause panic if it is leaked?
If Senator Ba and the others were here, they would probably already want to hit someone...
Zhong Lixuan said nonchalantly: "Will you tell me?"
"Actually, I'm quite a gossip."
"..."
"The 'eyes' of the King of Fear...is the King of Fear strong?" Guan Liyuan asked in a low voice.
The "eyes" of the King of Fear does not mean that the King of Fear really just glanced at it and was noticed by the astrologer, but it means that the astrologer, the King of Fear, cast his faith in the city of Duran!
Unlike the Abyss Soldiers, Abyss Commanders, Abyss Lords, and Abyss Kings, these abyss creatures prefixed with "Abyss", the "King of Fear" is prefixed with his own name...
Anyone with this title is a "devil king" who surpasses the king level!
"The Demon King... how could he not be strong? Fortunately, for the Demon Kings in the abyss, conquering each other is the main business, and the rules of the plane greatly inhibit the Demon King, and they will even take the initiative to fight back when the Demon King enters. Otherwise, 'Promised Land' "We can no longer defend it." Although Zhong Lixuan was carefree, he looked very afraid of the "Devil King".
Human beings don't know much about the abyss, but the "Devil King" is also the ruler of the abyss. If the Demon King could enter the human plane at will, humanity would have ceased to exist!
Even if the demon kings in the abyss are all keen on the human plane, I am afraid that the professionals will no longer be able to hold on to the "promised land".
Fortunately, for the real rulers of the abyss, the human plane is just an "undeveloped territory with a good living environment." It is good to get it, but it is not worth "all the hard work"...
After all, the demon kings in the abyss are constantly fighting against each other. No one will put too much effort into the human plane. On the contrary, many abyss kings and abyss lords who are close to the entrance of the human plane covet the human plane the most.
"Can't we defend the 'Promised Land'? Is it too exaggerated? Don't... human beings have no strong people above the super level?" Guan Liyuan asked doubtfully.
He remembered that the dean of the vocational college and Councilor Cai of the Duran City Alliance Council were all super-level professionals...
A small city called Dulan has two or three super-level professionals, let alone a big city like Eagle City or an important town like the Eight Border Cities...
"Above the super level? There once was...the span between super levels is much larger than you think. Over the past thousand years, humans have had several extraordinary level professionals, so the existence of the 'Promised Land' can be maintained."
Guan Liyuan can naturally hear the meaning of "used to be".
"The worst thing is that the 'King of Fear' is the new Abyss Demon King, and he seems to be very interested in our plane. Three years ago, Eagle City was almost destroyed because of his conspiracy, and it cost three people with domain The lives of super-level professionals prevented Eagle City from being completely destroyed.
It was also because of that opportunity that the three prophets joined forces to lock the will of the King of Fear. Two of the masters suffered the backlash and died, in exchange for the surviving astrologer, who could sense the 'King of Fear' within twelve years. 'Some trends, that's why there was this early warning from Dulan City! "Zhong Lixuan's tone was also rare and solemn.
"Then the alliance... why don't you send more people?" Guan Liyuan asked.
"It's not just Duran City. The 'King of Fear' is very cunning. Eight small cities gave warnings almost at the same time... It's hard to know which part is real and which part is fake. Moreover, the Alliance Headquarters should still be wondering if there are eight. This is all to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so I don’t dare to act rashly..."
Just when Zhongli Huan was halfway speaking, several more family heads arrived. After seeing Zhongli Huan, they couldn't help but wonder: "Zhongli Family Master came so early today... Why don't you go in?"
"Eh? Why is Patriarch Zhongli still taking this kid with him? You don't want him to... wait! Patriarch Zhongli won't leak out the story about 'that guy'!"
"Hmph! Do I need to explain to you what I leaked and what I didn't?" Zhong Lixuan, instead of feeling guilty, glared and choked back.
Guan Liyuan always felt that this person looked familiar, and then he thought about it. Wasn't this the same person who questioned his proposal to thoroughly investigate the beasts of burden when he was at the supply point last time?
