King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 428 Shooting the Gopher

"boom!"

Slender flames flashed across the restless crowd, and bullets containing the power of fire elements whizzed, faster and more powerful than ordinary crossbows.

"when!"

The bullet hit Ember's breastplate and only exploded a few clusters of sparks before making no sound. It seemed that the bullets were not attacking the armor pieces, but the thick steel walls of the shooting range.

"Huh?" He grabbed the Thunder Hammer weapon and hammered it into the beach with his backhand. Yi Yan touched his chest. Did something sting him just now?

Then he saw Huo Tong who was loading ammunition.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the elemental power of this gun is leaking so seriously? Don't you fools know how to improve weapons?"

Ember suddenly appeared behind the gunman, causing the latter's reloading movement to freeze.

The gunman's movements stopped, but the embers did not. He swung the thunder sledgehammer in his hand hard, hitting the fire gun hand's Tianling cover without any bias.

"Boom!"

A crisp sound sounded, and there was another dizzy "gopher" on the beach.

"I heard you!"

The lady hiding in the mirror in the distance moved her ears slightly, and a figure appeared in her dark field of vision. This was not what she saw, but what she heard.

The Lady Hidden Mirror turned to face the embers and stretched out her hands.

Clear-cut blue water mirrors appeared around the embers, and his figure was reflected in the ripples of the water.

Ember did not dodge, but looked in the mirror with interest. He hasn't paid attention to his external image for a long time, and he doesn't know if he has become more handsome.

But it's a pity that the ember in the mirror is still the same, neither handsome nor ugly.

The water mirror not only reflects the embers, but also reflects the surrounding light. The light twists around the water mirror, forming strange frequencies.

In the flickering light, the faint whisper of the lady appeared.

"Let me see..., ah——"

"You are really awesome. You dare to use illusions on me. You want to change your eyes into fireproof female eyes, right?"

Yu Yan reacted. Did the lady hiding the mirror just want to use an illusion on him?

Without any time to think about anything, Yi Yan stretched out his hand and stopped everything about the Lady Hidden Mirror. At this moment, she was like a beautiful statue separated by a barrier, and everything in this world had nothing to do with her.

Of course, everything about her has nothing to do with this world.

"Give it to you."

There was another "bang", and the number of "gophers" on the beach became three.

Holding the thunder hammer on his shoulder, Yi Yan wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead. It was really dangerous. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise something indescribable would have appeared on Haiji Island.

After wiping away his sweat, Yi Yan began to look at each other with the fools. Whoever his eyes met, the fool involuntarily took a few steps back.

Just kidding, the Hidden Mirror Lady's strength is considered to be outstanding in their camp. Now she is easily solved by this strange guy in front of her. If it were them, it would be faster.

Not to mention that the final state of the Lady Hidden Mirror is so weird.

"Are you coming?" Yi Yan was a little impatient as he shook the huge thunder hammer with one hand.

The fools around looked at each other, and they nodded together, then turned around and rushed towards Luyein Heizang.

"..."

"Ember, are you dead? If not, just say something! Why are there so many of these people?!"

Soon, the roar of Shikanoin Heizo came from the crowd. He probably didn't expect that the number of people surrounding him would increase so much in an instant!

"Not dead! Wait!"

Ember responded from a distance, and then completely turned into an afterimage, raising large amounts of smoke and dust on the beach.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The loud head-banging sound echoes in the sand and smoke, like a symphony, guaranteed to give the listener goosebumps all over his body. As the only listener here, Luyein Heizang is naturally even more so. With every "bang" sound, he felt that his Tianling Cap became a little numb.

When the raised dust fell to the ground, heads appeared on the originally white beach.

Now I will get goosebumps even if I don’t listen.

"Does it sound good? If it sounds good, it's a good start." Yu Yan's figure appeared, he inserted the huge hammer head on the ground, clapped his hands and said.

Shikanoin Heizang shrank his head when he heard this and did not make any comments about it.

What can he evaluate? Do you think the heads of fools are very hard?

"Okay, everyone has been cleaned up!" Yi Yan looked around. Except for him and Luyein Heizo who were still standing, everyone else was half buried in the soil.

Even the enemies defeated by Kanoin Heizo were no exception. Since we are colleagues, we should share blessings and hardships!

So Ember decisively hammered into the soil the bodies lying on the ground.

"It's really..., it's hard to say, it's hard to say." Luyein Heizo saw the densely packed heads on the beach and felt that he had to wash his eyes after going back this time.

Such a strange picture is really eye-catching.

Rubbing his eyes, Luyein Heizo planned to get down to business.

He cleared his throat and said in a loud voice: "Tian Ling adheres to the principle of Tongxin Luyein Heizang, and now suspects that your organization has an affair with the rebels. We need to conduct a thorough investigation of your organization's camp. Does anyone have any opinions?"

"..."

The fools on the beach did not respond because they were all confused by the embers. Both eyes were rolling, but of course no one had any objections.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation." Luyein Heizo saw that no one in the fool responded and smiled softly.

Then he started rummaging through the boxes.

"Let me see..., the ledger..., where is the ledger?"

Inside the military tent, Luyein Heizang was rummaging for something as if there was no one else around. The solemn and complicated emblem of the Fools on the tent, which makes people feel awe at the sight of it, seems to have turned into big invisible eyes, watching all disrespectful behaviors towards the Fools.

It's a pity that they stared at him for a long time, but they didn't slow down Luyein Heizo's movements even a minute.

When he walked out of the tent again, he had turned the entire camp upside down.

However, there was no joy at all on the face of Shikanoin Heizo who came out. Instead, he became even more gloomy.

"Looking at you like this, there's nothing to gain?" Yi Jin saw the frown on Luyein Heizo's face and knew that there was no valuable information in it.

"Huh..., you are indeed a fool, you are so clean." Hearing this, Luyein Heizang rubbed his short hair irritably.

This is much more difficult to deal with than ordinary little thieves.

But after the irritation passed, Luyein Heizo felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart.

Through layers of fog, the truth is pieced together like fragmented clip art. Isn't this what a detective should do?

"Do you think you can trouble me without the ledger? Don't underestimate the detective!"

With uncontrollable excitement, Kanoin Heizo drew three interconnected circles of different sizes on the ground.

"Alchemy runes? Do you want to make veritaserum?" Yi Yan saw the symbols on the ground and raised his eyebrows.

Isn't this the rune on the alchemy table? Is it possible that Kanoin Heizou wants to rub out a bottle of truth serum with his bare hands here?

"Veritaserum? Does this sound like something a detective would use? Besides, there doesn't seem to be such a strange thing in alchemy!"

Hearing Ember's words, Kanoin Heizo couldn't help but complain. And is there really such a thing as truth serum?

"Then what are you going to do?" Yu Jin squatted down with Luye Yuan Heizang. He looked at the simple alchemy runes on the ground. They were crooked and he could tell at a glance that they were drawn by an amateur.

An alchemical rune of this level, not to mention how much elemental power it can withstand, is questionable as to whether it can even allow elemental power to circulate.

"Nothing to do. Since people can't find any clues by asking, I'll ask from the items."

While talking, Luyein Heizo took out a damp piece of wood covered with iron. This was what he had just pried off from the pillars of the tent of the Fools.
