GBP Chapter 641 Capturing the Sword and Halberd Sandbag
Chapter 641 Capturing the Sword and Halberd Sandbag
As the yellow sand swirled and the dunes burst open, a terrifying insect leg suddenly stretched out, like a sharp blade from the abyss, and swept fiercely towards the group.
Ye Kang and Shi Motong stepped back without hesitation, while Jin Lingfeng became even more excited.
"What a handsome appearance! I've decided you're the one!"
He roared and actually took the blow head-on with his palm, unleashing a powerful burst of martial arts, blasting the insect's leg apart with endless palm prints.
"My little darling, I would never hurt you, that would break my heart, hahaha!"
Jin Lingfeng's loud shouts gave Ye Kang a misconception.
This is just like those foolish nobles in stories who fall for beautiful heroines.
However, instead of a beautiful woman, he was facing a ferocious black beetle.
The sword-wielding sand cloak had already revealed half of its form, which was about twenty feet in size.
Despite its seemingly small size, the power it contained was enough to secretly frighten Ye Kang.
After all, insects are naturally unparalleled strongmen.
This sword-and-halberd beetle is the strongest of the strong, with a prominent long black forehead that resembles both a sword blade and a halberd, making it a terrifying weapon of mass destruction.
Its entire body is black and glossy, with a very high-quality feel. Its carapace is as hard as steel, and all its legs and feet are covered with serrated bone spurs, making it a sight to behold.
No wonder Jin Lingfeng was so excited; this is indeed a rare quality in insect fighting.
Ye Kang didn't understand insect fighting, but he could guess that Jin Lingfeng wanted to use this beetle to make a good impression in his circle.
However, the capture process was not so simple. Although the sword-wielding sand ant was not very intelligent, its instincts still told it that there was danger.
Therefore, it burrowed directly downwards, its massive body moving with incredible agility in the sand dunes, much like a fish encountering water.
This is what Jin Lingfeng is worried about: once the insects get into the sand, he will be helpless.
"Ye Kang!"
Swish it!
Before Jin Lingfeng could shout, Ye Kang had already moved.
The Phantom Sandstorm was activated, and he transformed into a beam of light, following the direction of the sword and halberd sandbag, and plunged horizontally forward.
Shadou thought he was safe, but suddenly discovered that a human had followed him into the sand.
It immediately flew into a rage, opened its ferocious jaws, and bit directly at Ye Kang.
Ye Kang had no doubt that if he were to be bitten by that giant mouth full of blades, he would definitely be cut in two.
At the critical moment, he raised his right hand and channeled his true energy into the blue light mirror.
A beam of blue light shone out, instantly forming an indistinct blue bird shadow.
Sword and Halberd Sand Dust froze instantly, its mouth agape as if it had seen its natural enemy, and it turned and frantically darted upwards.
Bang!
The sword-shaped beetle pierced through the sand, and the next second, a large net made of bamboo strips crashed down, directly enveloping it.
With a mournful cry, the net suddenly contracted, transforming into a small bamboo basket about half the size of a palm, which fell into Jin Lingfeng's hands.
"Hahahaha! Little thing, I've finally caught you! Now let's see if those bastards still dare to be arrogant with me!"
Jin Lingfeng carefully tucked the bamboo basket around his waist, covering it with the hem of his clothes, before looking at Ye Kang who had emerged.
"Not bad, not bad, you did a good job, I am very satisfied with you."
With that, he waved his hand, and 100 spirit crystals fell directly into Ye Kang's hand.
The latter were dumbfounded; was this some kind of lavish spending?
Is this what a wealthy family looks like?
Shi Motong also received the spirit crystal. She cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Captain Jin."
"No need to thank me, I'm the one who should thank you. That traitor Li Ben is actually a spy sent by my father. I can't kill him, and I can't let him know what I'm doing. It's so annoying every day."
He showed an angry expression, then laughed and said, "Fortunately, you are here. Don't worry, I won't mistreat my own people. Just tell me what you need. As long as it doesn't involve matters of principle, I'll do whatever you want."
"Sir, could you grant me an official position?"
Ye Kang spoke directly, demanding that things be simple and straightforward.
Since you're so powerful, why don't you give me an official position?
Shi Motong almost wanted to beat Ye Kang to death. This guy was a little too honest. He only did such a small thing. How could he possibly get an official position for him?
To everyone's surprise, Jin Lingfeng replied seriously, "If this were Wuyang City, a minor tenth-rank official position would be no problem, but not here. If I use my connections, my father will kill me. Can you change your request?"
He felt a little regretful, then suddenly thought of something.
"Oh right! Didn't I say before that I'd get an official position for whoever drives Ku Yue away? That's fine. My dad definitely won't scold me. He'll even say I'm fair in rewarding and punishing, and that I have a keen eye for talent."
Jin Lingfeng proudly put his hands on his hips.
Ye Kang was shocked. Was this guy really naturally fair-skinned? If he was acting, his acting skills were amazing.
He couldn't help but cup his hands and say, "Then I'll choose another one, sir. I heard that Instructor Li captured a yellow-haired rat demon. Is that also your idea, sir?"
"What rat demon? I only like fighting insects, not demons. Demons are almost like humans, it would be too cruel to fight them."
"I do know this."
Shi Motong suddenly said, "Previously, Hu Long was in charge of providing intelligence. Instructor Li led several Silver Dragon Army soldiers out to capture a lot of sand demons. It seems that they were doing business with merchants from Lingquan County."
"Lingquan County..."
Ye Kang wasn't a newcomer; he had been cramming on geography knowledge these past few days.
The Wu Dynasty was headed by Wudu, and under Wudu were four cities and sixteen prefectures.
Black Desert is located in the southwest and is the only frontier without a coastline. It is jointly governed by two prefectures.
One of them is Lingquan County.
It is named this because there is a sacred spring and grotto in the county, which attracts the talents of the entire Wu Dynasty.
If the Yellow-haired Rat Demon's wife is sold to the county seat of Lingquan County, then things will be difficult.
Ye Kang frowned and asked, "Commander Shi, do you know if Instructor Li has completed the transaction?"
Shi Motong nodded and said, "It should have been sold. It happened a few days ago. The demon dealers from Blackfire Town have already come. However, the Yellow-haired Rat Demon is not a rare demon. It should only circulate within Blackfire Town."
"That's a little better..."
Ye Kang felt a slight soreness in his teeth. Blackfire Town was a large border town, but it was not a county seat, so it was much easier to find.
After listening for a while, Jin Lingfeng suddenly thought of something, and a glint of light appeared in his eyes: "Are you going to Blackfire Town?"
Ye Kang nodded: "I have to go, that demon is very important to me."
"Great! Why don't I go with you? There must be an insect fighting arena in Blackfire Town. You can take my place, carrying the sword, halberd, and sandbag to fight the insects. I'll be your sidekick!"
Jin Lingfeng had planned it perfectly. He couldn't expose himself, because if his father found out, he would be finished.
But having just acquired a top-tier fighting insect, how can I not indulge in it?
As long as I disguise myself as Ye Kang's follower, I won't be discovered!
Ye Kang looked speechless: "Sir, I went to take care of important business..."
Jin Lingfeng said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, it's just finding a little demon. I'll help you. As long as you take me with you, I'll cover all the expenses. How about it, isn't that a good deal?"
