Godslayer: Agent of the Gods, the Stabilizing Force at the Start
Chapter 199: The Purpose Is Not Pure
"Actually, it's not necessary to capture the entire giant ant. Just bringing back a tiny fragment of its limb could potentially save my grandson's life." His voice trembled slightly, carrying a grandfather's deep worry and expectation for his grandson. Every word seemed to carry a heavy emotion, slowly echoing in the quiet private room.
Su Ming frowned, his mind in turmoil.
His fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the table, making a soft sound.
He knew all too well the dangers of venturing into the Cloud Mist Mountains to capture the giant ants. The mysterious valley was not only guarded by the ferocious giant ants, but also by various unknown traps and monsters.
Moreover, the Shadow Organization is also eyeing the giant ants, and the risk of encountering them is extremely high.
Thinking of this, Su Ming's lips moved slightly, as if he was about to refuse.
However, Lin Qiye spoke first, unexpectedly saying, "Master Tianya, we agree." Her voice was clear and melodious, like a mountain spring, and was particularly clear in the somewhat dull private room, instantly breaking the tense silence.
Su Ming looked at Lin Qiye in surprise, his eyes full of doubt and confusion. His eyes seemed to say, "Qiye, why did you agree? This is fraught with danger!" Lin Qiye returned his gaze with a meaningful look and blinked slightly, as if hinting at something: "Don't worry, I have my own plans."
Upon hearing Lin Qiye's answer, Master Tianya's face immediately lit up with surprise and gratitude. The wrinkles on his previously worried face seemed to smooth out a bit: "Really? Thank you so much! I will never forget your great kindness." As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to everyone in thanks.
After leaving the restaurant, the group walked along the bustling street.
Neon lights flashed, their red, green, and blue lights intertwining to illuminate the street in a dazzling array of colors.
The bustling traffic, the honking of car horns, and the laughter of people create a noisy urban symphony.
But everyone's attention was not on the bustling city scene.
Hongying walked quickly to Lin Qiye's side, her steps light and agile, like a nimble cheetah.
She asked softly, "Seven Nights, why did you agree so readily? Do you know how dangerous this matter is?"
Lin Qiye tilted his head slightly, looking at the night sky illuminated by neon lights in the distance, and said calmly, "Hongying, I am naturally aware of the dangers involved."
But don't you think this is too suspicious? Master Tianya's past with the Shadow Organization is already full of doubts, and now this giant ant healing thing has suddenly appeared. I always feel that his purpose is not pure.
I was more interested in knowing what he was planning, which is why I agreed. As she spoke, a wise glint shone in her eyes, as if she could see through the hidden secrets behind it all.
Hongying nodded slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, said, "What you said makes sense. Master Tianya's previous collusion with the Shadow Organization was very suspicious, and this time there may be hidden secrets as well."
"But we'll have to be extra careful along the way." Her hand unconsciously touched the sharp blade at her waist, her eyes revealing vigilance and determination.
At this moment, Su Ming also walked over. His steps were steady and powerful, each step seeming to tread on the ground, making a dull sound.
He looked at Lin Qiye, the doubt in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by understanding and trust: "Qiye, I understand your intention."
"Now that we've agreed, we'll do our best, while also keeping a close eye on Master Tianya's every move." His voice was deep and firm, giving people a sense of reliability and trustworthiness.
Lin Qiye smiled and nodded: "Yes, let's be careful together."
"By the way, I think we can go back to the archaeological site first. There might be more clues about the giant ants or Master Tianya there." Her smile was like a blooming flower, bringing a touch of warmth to the slightly tense atmosphere.
After discussing it, the group decided to follow Lin Qiye's advice and quickly return to the archaeological site.
It's an ancient site, and they've been conducting archaeological research there recently.
Previously, some mysterious runes and artifacts have been discovered, and perhaps clues related to the giant ant or Master Tianya can be found among them.
When they arrived at the archaeological site, it was already getting dark.
The enormous excavation pit appeared exceptionally silent in the afterglow of the setting sun, like a sleeping giant.
The archaeological equipment and tools around were neatly arranged. The shovels, spades, brushes, and other implements cast long shadows in the setting sun, as if waiting for their arrival.
Su Ming and the others went straight to the temporary research room at the archaeological site, which was a simple tent containing various research equipment and materials.
Upon entering the research room, Lin Qiye went straight to a bookshelf filled with old books and manuscripts. Her eyes were full of anticipation, as if the key to unlocking the mystery was hidden in these old books.
She began to carefully peruse the books, gently picking them up and turning the pages with her eyes scanning them quickly.
Hongying then went to a table displaying various artifacts, picked up a stone slab engraved with runes, and examined it carefully.
Her gaze was focused and sharp, not missing a single detail.
Her fingers gently touched the runes on the stone slab, as if she were conversing with ancient history.
Although Baili Pangpang wasn't very good at archaeological research, he wasn't going to be outdone and helped organize the data.
His movements were somewhat clumsy, and he occasionally knocked over some documents, but he still diligently did his work.
Every now and then he would ask curiously, "Do you think we can really find anything related to giant ants in here?" His voice, filled with a touch of naivety and curiosity, broke the silence in the research room.
Su Ming stood in the center of the research room, his eyes scanning the surroundings, his brain working at a rapid pace.
He recalled every expression and every word of Master Tianya in the restaurant, trying to find more clues from them.
His eyes revealed focus and contemplation, as if he were constructing a complex jigsaw puzzle in his mind.
Time passed by, and the research room was so quiet that only the sound of papers turning and the soft breathing of the people could be heard.
Suddenly, Lin Qiye shouted excitedly, "Everyone come quick! I think I've found some clues!" Her voice was full of surprise and excitement, breaking the long silence in the research room.
The crowd immediately gathered around, and saw that Lin Qiye was holding an ancient book in his hand. The pages were yellowed and it exuded an old and worn smell.
She pointed to a passage in the book and said, "Look, this describes a creature called the Spirit Ant. Its description is very similar to the giant ant that Master Tianya described." Her finger lightly tapped the page, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
