Iron Armored City - Chapter 267
Chapter 267: Insect King Egg in the Smelting Furnace
Iron armored city bilge, melting furnace area.
When Li Yinguang was dragged down by Xiaoman, many people surrounded him, even Buhe was present, and a certain red glow was seeping out from the ‘D1’ melting furnace.
“what happened?”
Li Yinguang asked curiously, the ‘D1 type’ melting furnace is not very big, it is considered to be the top melting furnace that can be seen on the market, and it does not scatter rays of light by itself.
Xiaoman pulled him, walked to the front of the melting furnace, pointed into it and said, “It’s coming out!”
“who?”
Li Yinguang was startled, and couldn’t help asking curiously.
Xiaoman raised his head and blinked at Li Yinguang: “Brother, why don’t you let the people around you leave first?”
It meant that she wanted Li Yinguang to clear the field. Although she could give orders, these were all Buhe’s people. She wanted Buhe to go out first, leaving only herself and Li Yinguang here.
Li Yinguang raised his hand and waved, and the workers in Iron Armored City behind him turned around and walked outside consciously, leaving only Buhe and his apprentice Batu standing in place without moving.
Xiaoman frowned, and gently pulled Li Yinguang’s arm, signaling that he still had two people.
Li Yinguang frowned slightly, but without hesitation, he chose to trust Xiaoman.
“Old Bu, you two also go out first!”
“yes!”
Buhe hurriedly turned around and walked outside. Batu gritted his teeth secretly, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but on the surface he lowered his head and left behind Buhe.
After everyone went out, Li Yinguang looked down at Xiaoman, asked with a wry smile, “Is this necessary?”
Buhe, as the “elderly stratum” in Iron Armored City, is trustworthy. At least in Li Yinguang’s heart, he never doubted Lao Bu’s loyalty.
Xiaoman nodded vigorously: “Yes, because it’s about to be born, unless you don’t mind it taking care of itself, otherwise it’s best to just keep you here.”
As he said that, he walked to the front of the ‘D1-type’ smelting furnace and opened the door. There was black fuel burning inside, and on top of the black fuel was a giant egg half as tall as a person.
“Insect King Eggs?” Li Yinguang was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that when he ‘carried’ those three King Insect Eggs back to taste, he asked Xueniang to ‘roast’ one, but it was not cooked. He simply threw it into the smelting furnace. After burning it for so long, instead of being charred and melted, the insect king egg absorbed the attributes of the flame, turning the whole body red, but there was no sign of hatching.
But at this time, the surface of the insect king’s egg was covered with countless tiny cracks like a spider’s web, and if there was something inside, it would immediately burst out of the shell.
No wonder Xiaoman was arguing that he was going to give birth soon!
“The habits of insects and beasts are not too different. When most of them open their eyes, they will regard the first creature they see as their ‘mother’. Therefore, whether it is an insect egg or an animal egg, it is the easiest to domesticate. Oh!” Xiaoman continued.
This is also the reason why she insisted on clearing everyone out. There were too many people, who knew who the first person would be when the little guy inside the insect king’s egg broke its shell!
Xiaoman thought for a while and said: “The little insect king who just broke his shell should not be too dangerous. I will go out first and guard for you when the time comes. When the time comes, leave brother here by yourself and prepare to welcome the little insect king.” The insect king was born and recognized as the master!”
Outside the smelting furnace area, Batu followed Buhe, and hummed in a low voice with an extremely displeased expression: “What do you mean by the city lord, isn’t this obviously treating you, Master, as the same class as those lowly coolies who burn smelting furnaces! ”
Buhe frowned slightly, and stopped in his tracks. Facing Batu’s provocation, he couldn’t understand why.
“Are you trying to express your dissatisfaction with the city lord?”
Facing Buhe’s questioning, Batu was stunned, raised his head and asked in a low voice with flickering eyes: “Is there something wrong with what I said?”
Snapped!
Buhe raised his hand, swung his arm round, and slapped Batu on the face.
“Bastard, have you forgotten who you are? Those coolies who burn smelting furnaces are inferior people. What are you? How many times have I told you that there is no distinction between upper class and lower class in the iron-clad city of the ancient castle, let alone High or low, at least you can’t say it out of your mouth, which runs counter to the idea of the city lord.”
Snapped!
After scolding, he waved his hand and slapped him again.
He continued: “My lord of the city, how can you be a rat like you who can talk maliciously and slander behind your back? If there is no city lord, you might have frozen to death in the town of Mambach.”
Batu lowered his head and flashed his vicious eyes: “Yes, I know I was wrong!”
After speaking, he raised his hand, and slapped himself twice on the face: “Master, please punish!” Gudong, he knelt on the ground.
Seeing this situation, Buhe’s stern eyes softened.
He snorted coldly: “In the future, if you dare to talk about the city lord behind your back, I will break your dog’s legs with my own hands, and I will never let you go lightly!”
“Yes!” Batu nodded honestly, as if he really knew he was wrong.
“Get up!”
After Buhe waited for Batu to get up, he said softly: “What is burning in the smelting furnace is the ‘Egg of the King Worm’, and the red glow is emitted when the egg of the King Worm is about to hatch…”
Speaking of this, Buhe stopped. He really liked Batu, and subconsciously treated him as his own son. He even wanted to tell him that he had a drop of spinal fluid from a “hell ghost bug” in his hand. , was rewarded by the city lord and wanted to be taken by him.
But today, Batu actually dared to talk about Li Yinguang behind his back, which somewhat made him a bit vigilant, and put back the words that were about to come to his lips.
The spinal fluid of the ‘Hell Nether Worm’ ~www.mtlnovel.com~ is definitely not something that ordinary people can get at will. He is willing to give it to Batu, but before giving it, he wants to test Batu’s loyalty again.
Without these two sentences today, Buhe would not have such thoughts. He couldn’t raise a trouble for Li Yinguang in the iron-clad city of the ancient castle.
“Insect King Egg?” Batu’s eyes flickered, and he asked curiously, “Master, where did the Insect King Egg come from?”
“Don’t inquire about what you shouldn’t ask.” Buhe shook his head, thinking in his eyes, turned his head to look at the smelting furnace placement area, turned and walked forward.
The spider web-like cracks on the surface of the ‘Bug King’s Egg’ were getting bigger and bigger, and it was about to crack.
Xiaoman hastily pushed Li Yinguang to the front of the ‘D1-type’ melting furnace: “I’m going to be born soon, you stay here and watch, I’ll go out first!”
Turning around and wanting to leave, but being held back by Li Yinguang, Xiaoman looked back at Li Yinguang puzzled, as if asking, what are you doing?
“You don’t need to go out!” Li Yinguang said calmly.
Xiaoman blinked his eyes: “When the egg of the insect king hatches, it will recognize its owner!”
Li Yinguang smiled: “Isn’t it the same thing to be your pet?”
Even if the hatched ‘Little Bug King’ chooses Xiaoman as its master, it doesn’t matter too much, let alone… who knows what will be hatched from the Bug King’s egg, what if it is extremely aggressive? Keeping Xiaoman by his side, he can transform into a defense at critical moments.
Xiaoman couldn’t help but be moved, she didn’t expect that Li Yinguang had so many thoughts in her heart, she just felt that her master brother really didn’t regard herself as an outsider, and she made up her mind that in the future, she must be the master’s brother.
