Hearing the words' Qi City ', Bai Shixin's expression did not change, as if he was sent to an ordinary place.
Elder Ancestor Bai saw his calm expression and was even more satisfied. "Very well, in your generation of the Greater Rat Demon Clan, Shixin, you're the most talented and resourceful. I'll only be at ease if I entrust this mission to you."
Bai Shixin replied, "You flatter me, Elder Ancestor."
Elder Ancestor Bai patted his shoulder, then took out an aquamarine jade pendant and handed it to him, "I've given this Aura-Concealing Jade Pendant to the late Shiping couple's eldest daughter. She was killed due to her carelessness, probably by Vigilante A. When I descended to this realm, I only brought three of them with me. This second one is for you, it can completely conceal your demonic aura. Wear it, and with your cautiousness, even if you meet Vigilante A, you won't be noticed. "
Bai Shixin looked down and pushed the jade pendant back to Elder Ancestor Bai. He said sternly, "Elder Ancestor Bai already knew that Shixin's special talent is to hide himself, so I'm not afraid of Vigilante A noticing. Let's give this jade pendant to Shifu and the rest, their plan in Ji City is the foundation of us Greater Rats for thousands of years. According to intelligence, Vigilante A has also appeared in Ji City. Although they're well hidden, it's hard to guarantee that they won't meet them face to face, so they need this more. "
"Good, I didn't misjudge you, all these years of teaching you to be united were not in vain. Among the next generation, Shixin, you're the one who understands my painstaking efforts, and you're the most loyal. How about this, you can use it for this mission first, and return it to me when you're back. After that, I'll give it to Shifu and the rest, and these treasures will be kept in the public domain for temporary use. "
Bai Shixin took it and bowed, "Thank you, Elder Ancestor Bai, I swear to complete this mission with my life."
Elder Ancestor Bai smiled, "Haha, don't talk about death so easily, you have to come back alive even if you can't complete the mission. The Earthly Hound Clan likes to rely on human powerhouses to live, they have no ambition, they're only good at escaping. If they collude with humans for too long, they'll definitely become a huge threat to us, but it doesn't matter if we fail this mission, we still have a chance to deal with them. "
Bai Shixin's eyes were brimming with tears. "Elder Ancestor is so understanding. This subordinate is willing to sacrifice my life to repay you."
Elder Ancestor Bai said, "Alright, go ahead. I'll inform them later that if you need anything during this mission, be it manpower or resources, they'll be given priority."
Bai Shixin nodded his head in acknowledgment and turned to leave.
Elder Ancestor Bai watched as Vigilante A left and stroked his beard, deep in thought, 'He said he could hide from Vigilante A's senses, could he hide from me too?'
…
After Bai Shixin left the Patriarch's residence, he made several detours, but didn't immediately go to complete his mission. Instead, he returned to his own residence.
It was a spacious underground room with five bedrooms and four living rooms. The decoration was exquisite, the ventilation was good, and modern furniture was available. There was even an electronic screen on the window to play the scenery above ground in real time. The cost of building a house underground was very high, but he still had such a residence, which showed how high his status was.
He stretched out his finger and pressed the fingerprint lock on the door. After a beep, he pushed the door open and entered. As soon as he entered the room, a fragrant wind blew into his arms.
"Hubby, you're finally back. You don't know that every time you're not by my side, I'm scared to death. I'm afraid that your brothers and sisters will jump out and eat me, "a young woman with a pretty face said coquettishly in his arms.
Bai Shixin was previously cautious and serious in front of the Patriarch, but now he was completely relaxed.
He laughed, "Jing Er, don't be afraid. If they dare to show any intentions, I'll skin them alive with a wave of my hand! Not to mention, you're wearing the protective treasure that I brought to this world. With their insignificant strength, they won't be able to harm you. I've told you this before. "
"Hubby is mighty." The woman named "Jing Er" looked at him with admiration and rested her head on his chest.
Bai Shixin patted the woman's head and said, "To make you feel at ease, I'll tell you another secret. When you people pledged your allegiance to my clan, you've secretly installed a tracking device on your body. All of you are on the Elder Ancestor's electronic map of special talents. The Elder Ancestor has already given a strict order that the Greater Rat Clan is not to touch a single hair of those who pledge their allegiance to our clan. Otherwise, they'll beg for death.
"Not to mention, Jing Er, you're a rare top talent in agriculture, which concerns the thousand-year foundation of our clan. As long as that matter is completed, with your contribution, the Elder Ancestor will definitely fulfill the promise of eternal youth and immortality. "
Jing Er's face was filled with joy, but then she said worriedly, "But I heard that you demons are all cunning. What should I do when the time comes?"
When Bai Shixin heard this, not only was he not angry, but he lovingly stroked her hair, "Haha, that's something only you mortals would do. A bunch of old emperors are afraid that after they die, their descendants won't be able to control their generals and strategists, that's why they play such boring tricks.
"Do you know how long my Elder Ancestor has lived? He's already more than five hundred years old this year. You're all so weak, even if I give you immortality, you won't be able to outlive him. Why would he be afraid of you? Why would he be afraid of feeding you? That would only ruin our own reputation, how can we continue to recruit the top talents of the human race in the future? All of them are shrewd people. The first batch of people you recruited are all valuable. If you live well, they will come in an endless stream. "
Jing Er's worry turned into joy, she patted her chest, "Then I'm relieved, hubby and I still want to be a celestial couple for life."
Bai Shiping nodded, he continued to stroke her hair, and carefully helped her clean the dust that normal people could not see, thinking that his wife should have nothing to worry about anymore.
However, not long after, the woman worriedly said, "When the time comes, when the great undertaking is completed, and Shiping and his wife are already dead, hubby, you'll be above everyone else, you won't marry more than one wife and four concubines, will you?"
Bai Shixin stopped cleaning and said helplessly, "It's true that we Greater Rats are cunning, we're also very indifferent to kinship. However, we're loyal to our partners. You know that Shiping and his wife died, they were martyred at the same time, none of them escaped alone. "
Jing Er said, "Hearing that, I can work with peace of mind. Oh right, hubby, I found a new recipe online today and tried to make it. Let's eat together, I'll go out to work overtime. "
"Alright, I was just about to try my wife's cooking," Bai Shixin heard this, he happily hugged his wife and walked to the dining room, it was as if he was not worried at all about the task that the Elder Ancestor had just given him.
After the meal, Bai Shixin and his wife bid farewell, until she boarded the underground train.
She still had to work overtime at night, she would only be back at one in the morning.
Although it was late, his wife was secretly protected on the way back, so Bai Shixin was not worried at all. This kind of protection was not to guard against the Greater Rats, but to guard against people.
After he sent his wife off, he frowned at a certain spot in the air, his eyes focused.
After a while, a figure appeared in that place.
"Do you know what scared her recently?"
"Reporting to Master, two days ago, a batch of newborn Greater Rats entered the laboratory for food experiments. Due to the large consumption of the Greater Rats and the urgent need, some of them were not trained in time, so they showed their fierceness towards Mistress during the experiment."
Bai Shixin's eyes turned cold, he waved his hand in the air, "Kill all of them, and replace them with a batch of trained ones. It doesn't matter if it's slow, but all the Greater Rats that enter the laboratory in the future must be trained and not be aggressive."
"Yes, Master, I'll do it right away."
"Alright, you may leave."
Bai Shixin returned home alone, he walked into the study after he got home. He glanced at the bookshelf and finally pulled out a book, the title of which was' Sun Tzu's Art of War '.
He flipped to one of the pages and started reading:
"Therefore, those who are good at fighting stand in an invincible position, and do not lose to the enemy's defeat. Therefore, victorious soldiers seek to fight after winning, and defeated soldiers seek to win after fighting. "
He read it over and over again, an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.
…
In the System Space.
Three days had passed, and there was still no news. Sir System's patience was running out.
The System said, "Where did the two monsters go? I can't believe there's no accurate information. I think that Zheng Dao is a newbie, so he probably has too little experience. Why don't you do it yourself, Host? After all, you can still see the System Map, which is an advantage that he doesn't have. "
Fang Ning understood Sir System's feelings. According to what it said, the two monsters were the same size as Elder Ancestor Bai, but they had just arrived, so their strength was so weak that they couldn't even see their color.
That was equivalent to a Boss in a game that ran away after it was down to its last drop of HP. Any player would want to find it and kill it as soon as possible.
Fang Ning reluctantly put down the new game, Battle of the Beasts, and let go of the Boss he was about to fight.
He knew that after killing these two big monsters, he should have enough experience points to deduce the complete version of the Atmospheric Morality Technique. It was better for him to weigh the pros and cons.
Fang Ning said, "Fine, I'll do it. Let me take a look at the information Zheng Dao found."
The System said, "Take a look."
Fang Ning flipped through the information that Zheng Dao had sent to him a long time ago. He only read it once, and with his highly developed brain power, he was comparable to a famous detective. He immediately had an idea, "According to the information, these two monsters look like two mongrels, and they came to our restaurant to eat. It's only because they have a strong sense of smell and the ability to burrow into the ground that they were able to detect the attack of the fire dragon and escape.
"Zheng Dao and the others found out that their last appearance was in a farmland in the outskirts of Qi City. I believe that they were so weak that they couldn't burrow into the ground to escape, or else they would have left Qi City. "
The System said, "Don't analyze so much, just tell me where they are."
Fang Ning said, "There's a place that's most likely."
The System asked, "Where?"
Fang Ning said, "The Greater Rat's cooking pot."
The System, "???"
Fang Ning said, "You only know how to farm monsters and cultivate, and you don't even think about the outside news. I know that the number of stray dogs and cats in every major city has decreased, and many places have been emptied. Many people saw them being dragged underground by the Greater Rat to be eaten. Zheng Dao has the cooperation of the local Special Affairs Department and the public security department, so he must have searched all the places around Qi City. The only place he couldn't have found was underground. Those two demon dogs must have been captured by the giant rats and dragged underground to be eaten. "
The System said, "So you're saying that there's no hope of finding them? Not even if you do it? "
Fang Ning said, "Yes, that's right."
He thought, 'It's not that I don't want to help, but that's the truth. I should just give up. Let me continue playing. That game has just opened, I can't be left behind by others. '
The System said, "Alright, since you're so useless, then cut off the electricity and internet for a week, and then go cultivate."
