Hong Quan panicked, stammered, “I’ll talk! I’ll talk!”
If his cultivation hadn’t been sealed by Yun Canghai, he naturally wouldn’t be afraid of the Itching Fruit powder.
But…
Chen Fan released his mouth and tilted his head, “What did you say?”
Hong Quan viciously said, “Lin Xiao’s parents are hidden by me in a cave on the northeast side of Kylin Mountain.”
“Outside the cave, there is a five-pointed maple tree and a poplar tree.”
“Deep inside the cave, there’s a fissure leading straight to the top of Kylin Mountain… so Nightmare Hall placed another array core in that cave.”
The four black-armored strongmen were suddenly wide-eyed.
Chen Fan squinted slightly, “Is there someone from Nightmare Hall guarding the depths of that cave?”
“No,” Hong Quan said, “I was in charge of that array core, and Lin Xiao and the other two were in charge of the one on Crescent Mountain.”
“I followed the trail here after discovering that the Crescent Mountain array core had been broken.”
Chen Fan turned to the four black-armored strongmen.
A woman among them opened her smart wristwatch and sent out the information.
Later, she looked at Chen Fan and said, “I’ve already sent the Black Armor Army near Kylin Mountain there.”
“There should be news coming back in a while.”
Suddenly, a figure flashed in the sky.
Yun Canghai came back.
He brought back not only a severely injured Zhen Qing.
But also Lin Xiao and his sister.
Lin Yuanyuan stared wide-eyed, looking at Chen Fan and then at Hong Quan on the ground, completely puzzled about what had happened.
Lin Xiao walked over slowly, glanced at Chen Fan, and hesitated to speak.
A black-armored strongman stepped forward, and with a click, he put handcuffs on Lin Xiao’s hands.
After that, another click, a steel hoop was buckled around Lin Xiao’s neck.
Lin Xiao remained motionless, not resisting.
Lin Yuanyuan, however, was shocked and asked frantically, “What are you doing? Why are you arresting my brother!”
“Chen Fan, why are you targeting my brother!”
She rushed over to try to pull the black-armored strongman.
The black-armored strongman raised his hand, and with a chop, struck Lin Yuanyuan’s neck.
Lin Yuanyuan groaned and fainted, was caught by a female black-armored powerhouse who was standing by, and was lifted to the side.
Lin Xiao watched all this in silence, continuing to remain silent.
At this time, Chen Fan whispered, “I just got the whereabouts of your parents from Old Monster Hong’s mouth.”
“Now, some black-armored strongmen are on their way to rescue them.”
Lin Xiao began to laugh, his eyes red, and he nodded slightly to Chen Fan, “Thank you.”
Chen Fan frowned and turned to look at a male black-armored strongman with a scar on his forehead.
When the four of them had fought Hong Quan earlier, the other three had listened to this man’s command.
Chen Fan said, “Lin Xiao joined Nightmare Hall under Hong Quan’s bewitchment, provided information to Nightmare Hall, and facilitated their entry into the secret realm near East Sea City… I don’t want to defend him for these things.”
“You can investigate later, and punish him as you see fit.”
“But this time, he saved East Sea City.”
“He led me to Crescent Mountain and helped me find the array core there, and finally reminded me to contact East Sea City to use the ‘Starlight Destruction Cannon’ to destroy the array core.”
Hong Quan on the ground twisted his face in horror and roared, “Lin Xiao, you beast… it was you who did this!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the female black-armored powerhouse who had cuffed him took out a controller and lightly aimed it at Hong Quan.
“Zzzzz!”
Both the handcuffs and the steel hoop around his neck released electric currents, causing Hong Quan’s whole body to twitch and smoke!
Chen Fan still felt unsatisfied, stomping on Hong Quan’s mouth, breaking two of his front teeth.
At this time, the black-armored strongman with a scar on his forehead said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry, we will definitely investigate this thoroughly!”
Lin Xiao gratefully glanced at Chen Fan again.
Yun Canghai swept a glance around and said indifferently, “I’m taking Chen Fan and Zhen Qing back to East Sea City first. You follow.”
The four black-armored strongmen nodded simultaneously.
The four Guardian Beasts that had been on alert around them immediately gathered up.
As Chen Fan was about to speak, his body was lifted into the sky by a force!
Yun Canghai carried Chen Fan on his left and Zhen Qing on his right, rushing toward East Sea City with incredibly fast speed.
Behind them, the four black-armored strongmen took Lin Xiao’s party of three on the Guardian Beasts and quickly followed.
Chen Fan wanted to speak, but upon seeing the scene below, he immediately closed his mouth again.
At the foot of Crescent Mountain, countless strange insects covered the ground as far as the eye could see.
Many of these insects were only a meter or two long, not very large in size.
But their numbers were simply too many…
As far as he could see, there was no end in sight.
Chen Fan remembered when he had seen the skyfire ant swarm on Mount Wanshou and suddenly felt a sense of helplessness in his heart.
The world of monsters was like this.
The skyfire ant swarm on Mount Wanshou and this worm tide were all stirred up by the Nightmare Hall.
But it was said that even without the Nightmare Hall meddling, East Sea City and many other main cities had also experienced such events before.
The plaque with Chu Xuan’s name hanging at the entrance of War God Academy was said to have been hung up as a hero after Chu Xuan had blown up the lair of the worm mother during a worm tide.
