Chapter 629 Feast and Ants (6k 2-in-1)
There is only one way to enter the isolated NGL autonomous country through formal means, and that is to undergo strict entry inspection at the embassy and checkpoint built on two big trees on the canal between the country and its neighboring countries. .
On May 8, a van drove quickly across the yellow dirt road and approached the two big trees that spanned the entire canal.
"Kate, it seems that many people arrived before us?" A young man with a bear head said in surprise.
"Well, I saw it."
In the passenger seat, a white-haired young man wearing a dark brown hat and a stern face nodded in response. He frowned slightly and looked into the distance. He saw eight or nine cars parked scatteredly beside two big trees, and there were also twenty or thirty people sitting around. The two groups were discussing something.
When someone noticed the approach of their vehicle and called out, these people looked in their direction, and several of them came to greet them.
"Is it a purpose similar to ours?"
He is a one-star biological hunter. He was previously commissioned by the Cajun Empire to conduct a biodiversity survey. He happened to find the right limb of the chimera ant queen. After identification at the Nanpis Auction House in Youkesin City, he confirmed that its source.
It is speculated that unlike the chimera ant queens, who are generally around 10cm in length, there are special individuals or exotic species that are over two meters long.
Chimeric ants, a first-level isolated species, adopt a special method of 'feeding and mating' to reproduce, that is, the queen eats other animals, and combines the animal's excellent genes with the nutrition it brings to produce the best quality offspring, two meters in size. The queen ant can easily eat humans, making Kate realize that the situation is serious.
Based on ocean current analysis, Kate targeted the NGL Autonomous Country, but she didn't expect so many people to come first.
"But why didn't they go in?"
The van stopped on the side of the road. Kate and a group of fellow amateur hunters got out of the van. Among the people who greeted them, a young man wearing a three-layer hat and carrying a bow and arrow on his back extended his arms to them warmly and generously.
"Hello, I am Bokuer, a professional hunter. I have come to the NGL Autonomous Country with my companions to conduct biological surveys. Are you the same?"
Not for chimera ants? Kate shook hands with him and said in a low voice: "Kate, a one-star biological hunter, these are my companions. Although they are not professional hunters, they are all good at biological investigation."
"Wow, a one-star hunter? Senior!" Boku'er's eyes lit up, and he looked at the purple-haired girl with a round top hat who was equally surprised and surprised. He then said to Kate with admiration: "I only became a professional hunter at the beginning of last year. Yes, my dream is to become an excellent phantom beast hunter, hello, senior!”
"Fantasy beast hunter? Come on." Kate encouraged with a cold face and a warm heart, and said: "Are you waiting for your companions? Why don't you go in?"
"This..." Baku'er looked distressed.
His lover Peng Si next to him said: "The people in the embassy said that a companion was assassinated by a group of infiltrators a month ago, and they are entrusting the United Nations to pursue the hunt. Until the group of infiltrators is caught, NGL is temporarily closed to the outside world. closed.”
"Yes." Another companion said helplessly: "There are still soldiers from the United Nations stationed there. Even if Bakuer showed his hunter's license, he was not allowed to go. We are hesitating whether to wait for a while or go elsewhere. Where else?”
"Infiltrator? Bergrose?" Hearing this, Kate also frowned slightly, looked at her companions, and asked, "Didn't you hear anything else?"
"Uh, other? What?"
"It's okay." Kate was silent and walked towards the embassy, but the one-star hunter's license did not bring him any preferential treatment. The embassy's reply was the same - no entry!
…
"There are already two revenge teams quietly folding in the NGL Autonomous Country."
On the other side, Princess Faith, who was wearing silver armor, was accompanying Ji Xing to visit the military camp. She was pointing out armored vehicles and tanks while chatting with Ji Xing.
"That's it. No wonder Ajun has always looked sad lately. He has lost weight while running around. It seems that he has lost a lot of elites."
"Those gangsters are just soldiers." Faith said disdainfully: "Together, they are not enough for me to pick with one shot. The few telepaths we lost are the elites, so my father was furious and killed Trier directly this time. Uncle Si sent him out."
Reaching out and touching the steel barrel, Ji Xing turned around and asked, "Your uncle? The royal family?"
"No, he is the captain of my father's guard. He was responsible for protecting my father when he was just a prince. When I was 12 years old, I secretly stimulated my thoughts. My father also asked him to deal with me severely, and then asked him to Teach me the basics of reading ability.”
"Oh, I'm your teacher."
Faith snorted: "Indeed, but I don't like him. He is too cold and has left a deep psychological shadow on me. I have always wanted to take revenge, but I am really not his match yet."
She looked at Ji Xing and said, "According to your pyramid theory, he is at least a second level, or even a first level master. In short... I have not seen anyone stronger than him so far."
Ji Xing blinked and pointed at himself.
"You have to try that kind of thing before you know it!" As if she had expected this, Faith laughed, and when she stretched out her right hand, someone handed a nearly two-meter-long round gun to her hand, and there was a bang. !
"Haha, I've been enduring it for a month. I haven't forgotten your last comment! Let's fight and see, 'The Strongest in the World'?!"
The surging thought energy lingered around her body, emitting silver light outside the silver armor, and the few freckles on Faith's face seemed to have an unstoppable momentum!
The guards who had been ordered to do so immediately stepped back a distance. Ji Xing looked at the open space around him and said with a smile, "I guessed it when you invited me to visit the military camp, Princess Feisi. Come on."
"Not bad, it's great!" Feisi jumped back and pulled a distance away. She twisted the round spear weighing hundreds of pounds in front of her with both hands and said, "Then... as a challenger, I will attack first without hesitation!"
Buzz——
The long spear broke through the air and made a buzzing sound, leaving a residual image while twisting. It instantly split into two and four, and quickly turned into dozens of huge round spears floating in front of her, dancing up and down.
"Concrete system?" Ji Xing analyzed, "It's a bit like the one that can be copied in the Phantom Troupe, but the degree of operation is completely different. Each copy gun contains thoughts, and it's not weak. This consumption is a bit large. Is it the secret right at the beginning?"
The next moment, as the main body of the long spear held by Feisi danced, those replica round spears shot at Ji Xing like missiles, densely covering all the space for him to dodge!
As it approached him, the tip of the round gun flashed a scarlet glow!
"It has the transformation system, which changes the materialized object and the air on it into an explosive attribute."
Boom——!
A violent explosion rose, and the bright flames and smoke instantly engulfed Ji Xing! It was like a hundred shells bombarding intensively, the earth trembled, and the broken shrapnel attacked the bombing area indiscriminately!
'Random bombardment! '
Feisi once again put the round gun upright on the ground, staring at the gray smoke that engulfed Ji Xing. Knowing that there would be a gap in strength, she was indeed wise to use the secret technique directly. At this time, she didn't know whether to expect Ji Xing to be completely fine or to be embarrassed by the explosion.
And she didn't let her wait for long. Only two seconds later, Ji Xing's long legs stepped out of the gray smoke, telling her that the result was the former. Not only was he fine, but even his clothes were not damaged at all!
Feisi's pupils froze.
A solid spherical mind protected Ji Xing's body, which seemed to be able to block any attack, leaving only a huge pitted and broken land behind him.
"The power of this attack can indeed enter the second level, but overall, it's still terrible."
After hearing the new evaluation, Feisi only focused on alert, because she guessed that Ji Xing should attack next, and the next second her body flew into the air, and then she heard a pop!
The order is wrong.
Normally, it should be hearing the sound → being hit → defense failed → flying backwards.
Now it's flying backwards → hearing the sound.
The sound came later than the attack, and this attack exceeded the speed of sound! So there is no time to defend!
"Her Royal Highness?!"
When she fell heavily on the ground twenty meters away, the guards screamed to help. She coughed twice and raised her hand and said, "Don't bother! I'm not injured, he has already shown mercy!"
When she stood up, the dull feeling in her chest gradually faded away. She looked at Ji Xing who was still standing at the edge of the explosion range and slowly showed a hearty smile.
"Hahaha, I've seen it. I've really seen it this time. The world's strongest. Just the fist wind from the air easily suppressed me. If this punch that exceeds the speed of sound hits me, even with the protection of armor, I will be blown to pieces!" "Not necessarily." Ji Xing said: "Princess Feisi's tolerance is stronger than I thought. I expected you to bleed a little." "No, I swallowed it!" Feisi turned her head and spat out a mouthful of blood foam, strode back to Ji Xing, and looked Ji Xing up and down again, and this time, her eyes were a little strange. "Just like the expedition team, your cooperation application is not going well. Father is concentrating on revenge for the third brother and plans to leave you alone. The ambassadors of the five foreign ministries held several meetings and the conclusions were all rejected. Some even wanted to control you first because you had dangerous ideas."
"Oh, it's expected." Ji Xing shook his head: "Thank you Princess Feisi for telling me."
"Ah." Feisi waved to drive away the guards who wanted to approach, and whispered: "I have another way here, which should make your cooperation application impress father, do you want to try it?"
Ji Xing said: "No need."
Feisi was stunned and said dissatisfiedly: "Do you know what it is? Just reject it?"
"I can guess." Ji Xing turned around and looked into Feisi's eyes: "Thank you Princess Feisi."
Feisi was stunned Two seconds: "...Heh, you have a girl you like? You rejected me so straightforwardly, as if you were at a disadvantage. I have never been touched by those weak men who are not as strong as me."
"No disadvantage, it's a win-win situation, but I don't have that idea." Ji Xing smiled and said, "Princess Feisi just wants a talented offspring. I don't like this kind of loveless combination.
As usual, I will wait for another week in the capital. If the king still doesn't give me an accurate answer, I will try somewhere else."
"...Tsk, whatever you want!" Feisi quickly returned to her usual self and said, "Let's go, I'll show you those truly powerful weapons! Although I'm very unwilling, the strength of an individual is still far from that of a country as a whole!"
...
One week later, May 15.
NGL Autonomous Country, Ant Base.
The high-level and division commanders of the Chimera Ants gathered together in a slightly solemn atmosphere.
"Three captains and one division commander who have mastered that kind of energy have all died. The humans with special abilities that appeared this time are incredibly strong. Everyone, what should we do?"
"Should we concentrate our efforts on hunting? Or should we move the Queen to a safe location?" Pegu, the black-faced penguin-shaped military advisor, said with a sad face.
"Transfer? Her Majesty the Queen has begun to concentrate on giving birth to the king. When transferring at this time, who can guarantee the subsequent food supply and that there will be no problems during the transfer?" A division leader objected.
"But this is not the way to go." Korudo, who had a thunderous face, frowned and said: "It has been determined that there are a lot of strong people in the human race who have mastered that kind of special energy. But unlike last time, Qinsa and the others were killed and could not If we successfully capture those humans for the first time, how can we ensure the Queen’s safety if we let them call for more people?”
"Hmm~Are you too nervous?" the leader of the Leopard Division said in a long voice.
"Kido?"
"Ha, I think so." Zazan, the leader of the Scorpion Female Division, snorted coldly: "With Qin Sa's level, isn't it natural for him to be killed? How could a few humans scare you like this?"
"Zhazan, don't underestimate humans. Facts have proved that there may be strong people among humans..."
"Strong?" Zazan shook his head and interrupted, and the energy in his palms fluctuated: "How strong can it be? If you are afraid, it is me who will deal with them this time!"
Military advisors Pegu and Corudo looked at each other with helpless and dissatisfied expressions. Just as they were waiting for further persuasion, a strange feeling suddenly stopped them there!
Whether it was Kitu the leopard or Zazan the scorpion girl with a fierce smile, they were all stuck in place at this moment as if they were under a restraining spell!
"What's this?"
It was a powerful oppression and malice that could not be described in words. In that turbulent atmosphere, they felt like humans when they were hunting ordinary humans. It was an overlooking suppression at the life level, an absolutely insurmountable distance!
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Zazan stiffly looked back and saw a figure slowly emerging from the shadows, approaching them step by step.
It was a cat with white wavy hair. He had a cute and delicate appearance, his eyes were ruby red, his cat tail swung behind him, and his innocent little face was full of curiosity.
"What are you talking about?" Its voice was clean and crisp: "Can you add me?"
‘Has one of the king’s three guards... finally awakened? How could... be so strong? ! ’ This is the whisper in the heart of every division commander.
At a similar time, in a village that had been emptied out dozens of miles away, two figures broke into the abandoned fields, one chasing and the other fleeing.
"Sure enough, he is not an ordinary person. No wonder he was able to kill the third prince under the protection of the Secret Service Division and quietly eliminate the first two teams." The pursuer is a middle-aged man with a cold face and deep nasolabial wrinkles. , it is none other than Trills, the captain of the king's guard of the United Nations in Bergrose!
The person he was chasing was naturally the mercenary Misu who killed the third prince.
At this time, she was not panicked and said in a calm voice: "I didn't kill those two teams."
"Oh? Are they those ants?" Trails said: "Some strange things happened here. But they are just ants that can be crushed easily. I can't save you this time. Tell the person who hired you honestly. You can suffer less."
"I have been observing them for a month." Misu simply said, "They are very dangerous."
Does Vice President Pariston know the situation here? Why should I come to NGL? This is the lingering doubt that Misu has been having for the past month.
But Trils on the opposite side didn't seem to give her any time to think about it. She suddenly found that her feet were sinking downward. No, it’s ‘suppression’!
As far as her eyes could see, the land with a radius of a hundred meters was undulating like ocean waves, and a strange elasticity made it difficult for her to stabilize her body.
"You think some ants are dangerous? These are not words that can be said by someone who dares to assassinate His Highness the Prince." Trills kicked his legs and used the force to shoot Misu like a spring.
Misu immediately pushed her palm forward, and an obstructive air cannon was emitted by her. However, when it touched Trils, it was deflected by an air barrier with peculiar properties, exploding fireworks dozens of meters away!
The fists and feet collided, and Misu, who was not a melee type, was slightly in trouble. Just when she was vomiting blood after being hit several times and still calmly analyzed her opponent's telekinesis ability to plan a counterattack, Trails suddenly distanced herself from her.
She was not surprised, because she also felt a surge of terrifying malice!
The two of them looked to the horizon together.
"what?"
The first thing that caught my eye was a pair of ruby red eyes that sparkled with excitement!
…
the other side.
"Although Fakun Bear's bear paw is only a C+ grade delicacy, I added 17 kinds of C-E grade ingredients such as Dora bee honey as condiments or soup bases. After cooking it all night, I finally made it Presented in front of everyone!”
The girl with an excellent figure and gray hair tied into a peculiar rudder shape introduced the dishes in front of Ji Xing with a bright smile: "Ji Xing Twelve Branches, try it? I promise you won't be disappointed!"
Ji Xing smiled, stretched out his chopsticks, accurately pulled off a piece of meat, dipped it in the soup and put it into his mouth, his eyes lit up.
"Awesome. In terms of nutritional value, bear's paw is inherently warm in nature, nourishes the spleen and stomach, replenishes qi and blood. There should be similar medicinal ingredients among the C-E grade ingredients you just vaguely mentioned. Completely combine these The nutrients are stimulated, and the food is beneficial to those with mental abilities, and it can nourish and cure diseases for ordinary people.
As for the taste... Judging from the drooling of the person next to you when I tasted it, there is no need to mention it. "
"Buhala!" One-star gourmet hunter Men Qi gave his companion an elbow helplessly and said with a smile: "Ji Xing's Twelve Branches really know how to appreciate. I thought that I would face some guys who can only say 'delicious, delicious' at the Royal City White Banquet this time."
"I personally like to eat." Ji Xing smiled and said: "I have tasted a lot of precious ingredients, but it is too difficult to find a chef like you, Men Qi."
"No problem." Men Qi said: "I have left my contact information. If Ji Xing's Twelve Branches need it in the future, you can contact me. As long as I have time and precious ingredients, I will only charge a little processing fee."
"Well, I will definitely contact you."
"Haha, then I will let other judges taste it first?" Men Qi said with a smile.
"Okay, you guys go ahead, I will try other delicacies." Ji Xing nodded in response.
After Men Qi left, another man dressed as a chef came to Ji Xing with a dish and confidently asked Ji Xing to taste it.
Looking around, this huge banquet hall was full of guests in gorgeous clothes and invited chefs with outstanding cooking skills.
This is the Royal City White Banquet held every three years. A so-called judge qualification can be sold at a sky-high price of 35.5 billion at the Youkexin auction. You must have a certain status to participate in the top-level feast!
All kinds of ingredients in the world are evaluated and changed in this feast. Chefs are also proud to be able to participate in this feast, especially to discover new dishes and new delicacies by themselves, get recognition, and have the right to name them.
Bear paws, monkey brains, tiger whips, and even dragon claws are common items in this feast. All kinds of ingredients that ordinary people can't see or even imagine will appear here.
As the only judge who can eat from morning to night, Ji Xing thinks 35.5 billion is worth it!
Oh, that's the money paid by the ten old men.
Even more worth it.
...
The brain flower in the opened skull has been smashed. Catwoman Neferpitou pulled out two metal rods from Tris's brain. There was a mixture of novelty and regret on her bruised face.
"He died so soon."
"But... Bergrose United Nations, Prince... Humans are really a magical species."
"It's also very strange. I thought that the king of Bergrose United Nations would be the strongest human, but it turns out that he doesn't even have 'psychic ability'?" It shook its head and said, "Strange, really strange, how can a guy who can be crushed to death sit on the throne of the king?"
"Lord Neferpitou." At this time, a chimera ant soldier chef beside him said respectfully: "This... I will send it to the queen?"
Neferpitou looked back and saw the big meatball in his hand, and said, "It's ready. Go, you said that the stronger the human, the more nutritious it is. This human girl should be able to speed up the birth of the king."
She hesitated for a moment, looked at the body of Trails in front of her, and said, "Forget it, chop this one into minced meat and send it to the queen, it's boring."
...
Late that night.
Bergrose United Nations, the palace, the king who got up in only a single set of clothes received the bad news.
"According to the traces, the murderer who killed His Royal Highness the Third Prince, Misu Kimora, and... and Lord Trails, I'm afraid... I'm afraid they all fell victim to the Chimera Ant soldiers, and are in great danger."
"Chimera Ants?" The king's voice was emotionless: "A group of... ants?"
"... Yes, a group of special ants."
"Ants." The king's right foot gently rolled on the ground, as if there were ants crawling under his feet, and repeated: "Ants?"
After a long silence, he turned around and said: "Contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and deal with it as soon as possible. I don't want to hear the sound of ants again."
"And." After a pause, the king's voice was murderous: "What's the name of the leader of the gang? Forget it, kill him too."
"You mean... Ajun Bilstein?"
"Are you reminding me?"
"... No! I dare not!"
"Don't do it again." The king said: "I don't want to hear the name of... ants again."
