Bright!

"Is Mr. Zhang Ji surprised?"

"Isn't this kind of thing worthy of surprise?" Zhang Ji looked in disbelief.

He couldn't understand, with Jidu's strength and status, why should he help these bugs? There was no reason?

"I don't know why Mr. Zhang Ji is surprised. Is he surprised by the power of the Devourer, or is he surprised by my appearance?"

"Both of them have. I'm even more surprised by your appearance."

"I think so. After all, in order to meet Mr. Zhang Ji in time, I declined a friend's invitation."

Ji Du slowly walked up to Zhang Ji and gently held a seven-star ladybug.

But he didn't squash the bug like Zhang Ji did. Instead, he said with a loving face:

“The power of Devourers is extremely powerful and they are the embodiment of the rules of the God of Devouring. They can destroy all the rules of the world.

Even top-level power will do.

But the Devourers are not without flaws. The price of their powerful power is their short life force.

You see, just by eating some stone and steel, they're going to die.

Although for them, swallowing stone and steel is no different than swallowing artifacts..."

Ji Du talked eloquently and briefly introduced the ability of the Devourer Bug to Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji is not stupid, and he would not be where he is now if he is stupid.

So he knew very well that Ji Du had things to do by himself...

"Master Jidu, what do you need me to do? Is it with these insects?"

"Mr. Zhang Ji is really a wise man. I didn't even explain it, but you already knew that I needed you..."

"Stop saying these meaningless words. I just want to know, after turning into a bug-man... is it possible for me to go back?"

"Mr. Zhang Ji, please rest assured. You are just not familiar with this power..."

Once you fully master the power of the Insect King, you can control your own state as you wish.

So this period of time is actually the most dangerous period for you. "

When Zhang Ji heard what Ji Du said, his eyes immediately lit up.

Yes, although the insect man is powerful, he has never been able to control it well.

This is what troubles him.

Power that cannot be controlled does not belong to oneself at all, and will also bring disaster.

"Will you teach me?"

"Of course, teaching you to control the power of the Insect King is the first step in our plan."

"Then, what do I need to do after I can control the power of insects?"

Ji Du lifted up a few female Devouring Insects and carefully placed them on Zhang Ji's shoulders.

"Look, they like you very much... You are truly worthy of the power of the Insect King."

"Stop talking nonsense, my patience is limited. Although you are much stronger than me, I am also qualified to fight to the death.

At worst, if I go back and tell Chi Xiao all this, she will definitely be surprised by Master Ji Du's performance. "

Zhang Ji has never been a person who would let others take advantage of him.

Even if the schemer is much better than him, he will not give up on himself.

"Very good, the Insect King should have its own unique personality, rather than being a puppet..."

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"I need you to take the Devourer mother worm to a place."

"Where?"

“Monument to the Eastern Heroes of Tin Shwe Lifeng.”

Ji Du said a position that Zhang Ji couldn't understand.

"You want to destroy the Eastern Heroes Monument? Why? Is there anything special about that monument?"

"It's better for Mr. Zhang Ji not to know about this kind of thing. The more you know, the more dangerous it will be.

Mr. Zhang Ji should understand such a simple truth. "

Facing Jidu's request, Zhang Ji hesitated for a while and finally nodded.

"Okay, as long as you teach me how to control the bug-men, and after I learn it, I will help you."

"Mr. Zhang Ji has really many requests, but there is no rush. We still have a few days to prepare.

In the past few days, Mr. Zhang Ji will have a good feel for the capabilities of the Zerg. "

…

On Chi Xiao's side, after being rejected by Jidu for the second time, she returned directly to her residence.

A small single-family apartment.

She is quite rich, so she never treats herself badly in this regard.

The decoration in the residence is complete and very comfortable.

When chatting with Xu Le before, Chi Xiao explained his physical problem.

After a night of fighting in the dark tide, she had to rest.

Simply put, it’s about getting a good night’s sleep.

But before that, Chi Xiao felt that he should eat something to satisfy his appetite...

But the problem now is... there is nothing good to eat at home.

Because I haven’t been back for so long, it’s impossible to store fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator.

She can't cook either, so these things can't exist...

The only thing that could be taken out to eat seemed to be a quick-frozen dumpling and some instant noodles that were about to expire.

If it were in the past, Chixiao might just open the bag and soak it in water before eating.

But now she actually had the idea... that I should eat better.

"I can actually stop eating..."

Looking at the instant noodles in his hand, Chi Xiao felt a little uncomfortable.

In the end, she casually took out a large bowl from the cupboard and picked up a large bowl of water.

The fingertips went overboard in an instant and the water boiled.

After putting the ingredients and noodles in, she simply cooked the remaining five bags of noodles...

But after taking the first bite... Chi Xiao felt a little regretful.

It's too salty...there's too much ingredients in the package.

“I never imagined that eating a delicious meal could be so difficult.”

Chi Xiao looked at the noodles with some embarrassment, took them out, soaked them in water, and then cooked them again.

The second time I tossed it, the taste was okay, but the noodles had become thick and mushy...

Staring at the noodles that were several times thicker, Chi Xiao's mouth twitched.

"Hey, it's so hard for me."

After finishing the large bowl of noodles, Chi Xiao freshened himself up a little and lay down on the bed.

"After you wake up, do you want to eat something good? Take Xu Le with you? Invite you back? Okay."

Chi Xiao closed his eyes while talking to himself.

I slept for a very, very long time.

…

night.

At the other end of the city, Bai Jing returned to her home.

Since mastering the power of darkness, she has rarely come back.

She didn't know why she came back today. She just felt that she should come back...

"Xiao Jing, is it Xiao Jing?"

"Mom, I'm back." Bai Jing looked at her bedridden mother with a cold expression.

I don't know if it's because of those past experiences, but she really doesn't care about her family now. She doesn't even feel close to some of her fighting partners.

For his brother, he was even more disgusted to the extreme.

I hope they won't ask me for money...

Things are often not as satisfactory as they imagined. As soon as Bai Jing had this idea, her mother spoke:

"Xiao Jing, did you bring money back this time? You haven't been back for so long. You must have gone on a mission, right? Where's the mission bonus?"

Bai Jing:......

There was no arguing or shouting.

The last time she ran away from home for such a long time, her mother didn't even pay any attention to her. She didn't even know what she was doing.

Endless asking for money, only money, only the useless son.

Ah……

"There is no mission and no money. I came back to pack my things."

"Pack your things? What do you want to do?"

"Leave this home."

"Hey, Xiaojing, you can't do this. If you leave this home, what will your brother do?"

"What to do? Let him die."

Bai Jing suddenly became fierce, but looking at her bedridden mother, she really didn't follow through on this attitude.

"Forget it, this kind of quarrel is meaningless. It's time for him to grow up. As a son, he must support his mother."

Bai Jing returned to her room, only to find that there were other people's things in the room.

It seems that because I haven't come back during this period, some people have occupied it.

The woman raised by my brother? Or someone else.

After outsiders came, Bai Jing also felt disgusted with the things here. If others used her things, they would be unclean.

"Meaningless."

Opening her drawer, Bai Jing took out some documents and information and prepared to take them away.

All the money hidden here has been confiscated. Needless to say, we know who did it.

Bai Jing didn't want to worry about these things, she was leaving anyway.

When opening the last layer of the drawer, Bai Jing was suddenly stunned.

A fruit wrapped with black aura is quietly placed here.

Surrounded by the black mist, Bai Jing felt something closer to the essence of darkness. This was exactly what she needed...

"This thing may make my promotion easier, but it is an external force after all..."

Bai Jing was a little hesitant, but this hesitation only existed for a few seconds before she picked up the fruit.

No matter what, this is a fruit, and it doesn't look like an ordinary fruit.

Special power, homologous essence.

This fruit... was simply tailor-made for her.

"Did Ding Ke bring it?"

Bai Jing thought of her previous conversation with Xu Le, and she could see that Xu Le was a little disappointed with her at that time.

But now the other party sent another fruit.

"Perhaps this is my last chance, and it is also the ultimatum. What he said to me..."

Picking up the fruit, Bai Jing put down other things.

Documents, information, and those things are not necessary.

Only strength is.

Only with enough strength can she gain a foothold in this chaotic era and not be influenced.

Bai Jing stared at the fruit and took a bite.

The aroma is overflowing and the cold current is all around you.

Bai Jing suddenly opened her eyes, and her pupils began to deform, from the original round pupils to vertical pupils.

This was only the beginning, as the moon in the sky was obscured by a dark cloud.

Bai Jing, who was lying on the ground, grew a long tail.

drink! ~

…

On Chang Fengle's side, the process of sacrificing and enshrining the strange corpse lasted all day.

All the remaining members of the tree herders received thunder fruits as a result of this sacrifice, and some received a second one.

He also had a share, and he did not decline or refuse, because this fruit can be eaten continuously.

However, the effect will be compromised.

If the effect of the first fruit eaten is 100, then the effect of the second fruit is probably only 40-50.

If you continue to eat, there will still be an effect, but the improvement will become smaller and smaller.

This is also the scary part about the soul fruit.

As long as you work hard, you will be rewarded.

It is getting harder and harder to increase one's strength. In fact, it is not a problem. As long as one can see one's own improvement, no one can refuse.

Even if the improvement is only a little bit, no one will refuse it.

The distribution of fruits is very simple, according to work.

He doesn't take more because there is no need.

This behavior also made his prestige among the tree herders more stable.

It doesn't matter even if his strength is not the strongest. As long as he can lead the tree herders to become stronger, then he is the leader.

After the fruit distribution was over, Chang Fengle rubbed his forehead tiredly.

Next, it's his personal time.

Returning to his room, he lay on the bed and fell asleep for a while, biting his lips to prevent himself from falling asleep due to fatigue.

After about 30 minutes, after confirming that no one was around, Chang Fengle stood up.

From a secret passage next to a cabinet, go to the factory sewer.

The tree in the sewer has absorbed a large number of strange corpses. Even if the total amount absorbed is only one-tenth of the tree above, it is still astonishing for Chang Fengle at this time.

"How many fruits will there be? 10? 20? It's really exciting."

Chang Fengle walked down with great expectations, but when he saw the tree, he realized that something was wrong.

It was different from the picture he expected...

There were not many fruits on the trees, and the dozens of fruits waiting to be fed did not appear.

There is only one fruit.

A black fruit with a weird shape and a special smell... completely different from what Chang Fengle imagined.

"This fruit!"

Chang Fengle walked carefully to the fruit. Even if he was a mercenary with little knowledge, he could tell at a glance that this fruit was extraordinary.

That feeling has surpassed the special fruit that Xu Le once gave to Bai Jing.

"Special fruit, is this the tree's reward?"

Chang Fengle picked the fruit directly and prepared to put it in his arms and leave. After all, he couldn't stay here longer.

If you stay there for too long, problems can easily arise.

But he had just collected the fruits and when he turned to walk up, his footsteps suddenly stopped at the steps.

"Huh!~"

Chang Fengle took a deep breath, as if he was adjusting his emotions or making some important decision.

He took the fruit out again, hesitated for a moment before putting it in front of him, and finally took a bite.

The overflowing energy made Chang Fengle sublime and satisfied.

"Yes, if you don't have strength, even if you get power... you won't be able to grasp it."

Low growls echoed in the sewers, and the sound of tearing continued to be heard.

On the ground above the sewer, Xu Le and Ai Li, wearing hoods, were standing there.

He took out a fruit from the plastic bag and handed it to Alley, and took one himself.

Ai Li took a bite directly, and a surge of electricity entered his body.

"This... fruit?"
