"Let's talk about the training first!"
Without waiting for the two to speak, Nan Rongni continued,
"Ai Jiangtu's group captured two snake people and learned important information."
Zhang Chenran nodded slightly:
"We also have some intelligence here, and we are preparing to join you."
Hearing this, Nan Rongni wanted to say something, but after looking at him, she changed her words and said,
"Mu Tingying and I will be waiting outside, you guys hurry up."
"Can I ask you a question?"
As soon as she stood up, Zhang Chenran spoke.
"You, you ask."
Nan Rongni thought he would ask the rude question from before, and she was extremely reluctant, but she did a good job of pretending and faced it with a smile.
"How is your relationship with Mu Ningxue?" Zhang Chenran asked in confusion.
Nan Rongni, who was originally disdainful in his heart, trembled violently in his heart.
He asked what this meant. Nan Rongni smiled naturally:
"I met Ning Xue when I first entered the Imperial Capital Academy. I am considered her best friend.
Although she looks cold, she is actually very kind to people. Why are you asking this? "
What she said was true. Mu Ningxue had few friends in the Imperial Capital Academy, and she was one of the few friends of Mu Ningxue.
Perhaps it was because she always considered Mu Ningxue, in Mu Ningxue's heart, she had long regarded her as a trustworthy best friend.
A good best friend. Zhang Chenran looked at her deeply and did not answer her question.
Under Nan Rongni's puzzled gaze, Zhang Chenran took out an exquisite little black box and handed it to her.
"I'm sorry for the offense before, but I'm giving you a gift!"
"Thank you, thank you!"
Nan Rongni didn't think much about it and accepted it.
Although I look down on the man in front of me in my heart, it is not a bad thing after all to be able to gain his favor now.
She didn't want to make any mistakes in obtaining the Ice Crystal Bow.
Now Zhang Chenran is interested in her and even gives her gifts.
Jiang Yinyun didn't have much opinion about her, and that was enough.
Stepping out of the house, Nan Rongni curiously opened the small gift that Zhang Chenran gave her.
There was a small black bead in the small black box, and the dark aura it contained made Nan Rongni stunned.
"Is this a magic weapon?"
Nan Rongni took out a small black bead. She had seen similar magic weapons before.
But because she majored in healing, minored in plants, and third in blessing.
As the team's nurse, she has almost no attack-type magic weapons, let alone this kind of expensive attack-auxiliary magic weapon.
In fact, this kind of magic weapon is more expensive than spirit seeds!
The black bead given by Zhang Chenran can add a layer of dark power to her plant system!
Judging from the energy contained in it, if this small black bead is auctioned, it will be worth at least hundreds of millions!
"He gave me a treasure worth hundreds of millions as a small gift. Is he really interested in me?"
Nan Rongni's expression became complicated.
Although Zhang Chenran received 2 billion in funds from the Lu family, no one could give away treasures worth hundreds of millions of yuan casually, right?
His nonchalant look made Nanrong Ni really think that he was giving a bracelet or necklace, a small gift that girls would like.
"He knows that my only means of attack is plant-based, so he has already picked out treasures for me that can enhance the plant-based element?
If I don't return this magic weapon, does that mean I'm agreeing to be his mistress?
But if I return it, it might upset him, which would be bad for me!
Before I obtained the Ice Crystal Braking Bow, my means of attack were indeed a little weak, but he gave me what I needed most.
Giving a magic weapon that can enhance my attack power to a mage who majors in healing to me, and what he asked Mu Ningxue before was intentional?
No, he just joined the National Government team not long ago, and he didn't even know what happened, so how could he know what we were going to do to Mu Ningxue?
He probably wants to get closer to me from Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue."
Nan Rongni muttered quietly, his mind full of thoughts, weighing the pros and cons.
To be honest, she didn't really want to exchange her body for something.
As for the idea that she would be moved and fall in love with Zhang Chenran by giving him an expensive gift, it was even more ridiculous.
In her eyes, whether it was Zhang Chenran, Jiang Yinyun or Mu Tingying, they were all just her tools!
Once she obtained the Ice Crystal Bow, she would not need to submit to anyone!
Finally, Nan Rongni shook his head and made a decision:
"I can't refuse him, regardless of whether I have obtained the Ice Crystal Bow or not.
Whether it is his influence in the ancient capital or his current strength and status, I have no reason to refuse.
Even after the Venice finals.
I can also use his influence and connections to gain more fame for the family!
As for wanting to get me, he has to have the ability to do so!"
After making his plans, Nan Rongni put the small box away with a pleasing smile on his face.
In everyone's impression, she is a gentle, kind and considerate nanny.
She has always maintained this character very well, and has never revealed any flaws in all the years she has been with Mu Ningxue.
She was confident enough to control Zhang Chenran and make him willingly become her lackey.
"This girl has quite a lot of drama. I wonder what her expression will be after she comes into contact with the origin of the Shadow Clan."
Zhang Chenran, who knew everything through the shadow's 'surveillance', couldn't help but think.
To be honest, he had a very good impression of Nan Rongni before.
This girl pretends to be so good, so good that some of the daily thoughtful little details have become a subconscious habit.
This little habit makes it easy for her to gain the favor of others, plus healing mages are born with a buff of gentleness and thoughtfulness.
Basically, no one would doubt that her kindness was just pretend.
"You can know a person's face but not his heart!" Zhang Chenran couldn't help but sigh.
Jiang Yinyun couldn't help but say:
"Chen Ran, you're acting weird today. You've never flirted with any girl in front of me before!"
"You should have less contact with those two women, otherwise I will have a headache."
"Why?"
"obedient!"
"Oh, I see."
...…
The four of them came to a tavern and met up with the members of the National Government Team and the Canberra Magic Association.
Twelve members of the Chinese government team and twelve high-level elites of the Canberra Magic Association!
"What did you gain?" Nan Jue looked at Zhang Chenran.
The latter said:
"Let's talk about yours first."
Hearing this, Nan Jue nodded and told the results of the investigations of several teams:
"We have found several places where snake people have existed.
Ai Jiangtu and Zhao Manyan's team even captured two general-level snakemen and obtained important intelligence.
We came to a conclusion:
the World Serpent Headquarters can issue orders to the Serpent People through special means.
As for the location of the headquarters, it is very hidden. The snake people who know the location of the headquarters are most likely only commanders!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this conclusion.
"I didn't expect the top leaders of World Serpent to be so cautious. No wonder there has been no news from the World Serpent headquarters for so many years." Patul said.
Jiang Yu couldn't help but say:
"So, we still have to capture a commander-level snake man?"
"No, no need!"
Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Zhang Chenran pulled out two corpses of monsters with human bodies and snake tails from his personal space.
"This scale is a commander-level snake man!"
Sophia, a member of the Magic Association who was investigating with the Aijiangtu group, exclaimed.
As a high-ranking elite of the Canberra Magic Association, she could naturally tell the level of one of the snake-man corpses.
When the snake people reach the commander level, the snake scales on their bodies are no longer as illusory as those at the general level, but are completely materialized!
That was the strongest defense of the Commander-level snakeman. The hard snake scales
could withstand high-level magic without any problems! The Commander-level snakeman in front of him had snake scales all over his body that were corrupted by darkness. It was hard to find a few intact snake scales.
Obviously, she was tortured by the power of darkness before her death.
Under the shocked gaze of everyone, Zhang Chenran slowly said:
"After capturing her, I learned from her that the so-called World Snake Headquarters does not exist. The 'World Snake' is a powerful snake man, the leader who controls all the World Snakes!"
He continued to tell the in-depth parts, but he concealed a lot of important information.
For example, the World Serpent summoned all the snake people in Canberra, and the Magic Association discovered the remains of the Monarch-class Medusa.
After hearing his words, everyone's faces were filled with disbelief.
"Are you sure this is all true information?" Holka couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Chenran lowered his eyes to glance at the corpse of the commander-level snake man, as if to say:
The evidence is here!
His words were hard to believe, but they were the facts.
Even the Canberra Magic Association has only captured a few commander-level snake men.
I can't get this kind of important information from the snake mouth every time.
Did you catch it while I was sleeping? Chen Ran is so good to me. Jiang Yinyun looked at him infatuatedly.
Zhang Chenran knocked her head: "Be serious!"
"I don't know!"
Jiang Yinyun pretended to be thinking seriously.
"The leader of the World Serpent is now in the South District and may leave at any time."
Ole frowned slightly. He was also a member of the Magic Association investigating with Ai Jiangtu and Sofia's partner.
"We must find it before the World Snake leaves the South District. If we don't seize this opportunity, we may never have another chance in the future!" Patul said in a deep voice.
"That being said, finding a snakeman disguised in the crowd in the South District is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Moreover, with the level of the World Serpent, it can even disguise itself as the target and replace it!" Sophia said.
At this point, the atmosphere became much more solemn.
The current situation is indeed the same as what Sofia said. Trying to find a snake demon disguised as a human among hundreds of thousands of people is like looking for a needle in a haystack!
"By the way, when we found the snake people before, didn't we find a mental spell similar to the soul brand on them?" Zhao Manyan suddenly spoke.
Sophia understood what he meant and continued,
"You mean, we can trace the World Serpent through that soul imprint?"
Zhao Manyan nodded:
"Since the other party has sent orders through the soul mark, we should be able to use this place as a breakthrough point!"
Hearing this, Ole looked at Sofia:
"Can you do that?"
"Let me try!"
Sophia is a mage who majors in psychology and minors in curse.
There are still methods similar to hunting down the caster through soul imprints!
She, Aolai, and Ai Jiangtu left the tavern and headed to the place where the two warlord-level snakemen were imprisoned.
"Old Zhao, when you captured the two snakemen, did the soul imprints planted by the world snake on them fluctuate strongly?" Zhang Chenran asked.
"It was very strong. The two snake men seemed to know that they couldn't escape, and the urging of the mental imprint made them lose their composure. Otherwise, we would have brought back two corpses." Zhao Manyan explained.
At this moment, Nan Jue couldn't help but ask:
"Zhang Chenran, didn't you also get important information from the snakes? Why did you kill them?"
"It's not that I didn't want to keep her alive, it's just that she was too fragile. She died right after I asked her the question."
Zhang Chenran looked innocent.
The commander-level snake man was too fragile and died after asking the question. Everyone chewed over these words and looked at him with strange eyes.
Especially those from the Canberra Magic Association, even if they are the best among the high-level ones, they dare not say that they can defeat the commander-level snake people alone.
Snake people are not only powerful in combat, but their ability to escape is many times stronger than their combat ability.
If you want to capture it without sufficient strength, you will need to be fully prepared!
And in the words of this student from the Chinese government team, it seemed that capturing and hunting down a leader-level snakeman was as easy as hunting down an ordinary demon.
Hearing this, Nan Jue didn't know what to say.
After hearing him say this lightly, she subconsciously thought that Zhang Chenran's strength was above that of the captain Ai Jiangtu.
Even Ai Jiangtu didn't dare to say that he could easily defeat the commander-level demon!
No one on the National Government team had ever seen Zhang Chenran deal with a commander-level demon, so they all put the powerful Zhang Chenran in the same team as Ai Jiangtu and Jiang Yinyun.
They never thought that his strength would be above that of the captain Ai Jiangtu, but now, they had to re-evaluate.
After everyone waited for about half an hour, Ai Jiangtu, Sofia and Ole returned to the tavern.
Ai Jiangtu's stern face showed a little smile:
"Found it"
...…
Suburban wasteland.
A deserted, dilapidated church.
Dozens of figures were running around the church, blocking almost all possible escape routes!
Those hidden auras were actually high-level mages!
With such a team, even a demon at the commander-in-chief level would have no chance to escape!
In front of the abandoned church, a middle-aged man with a super-class aura slowly stepped onto the stairs.
Every time he took a step forward, light would inexplicably appear around him!
Looking closely, one could see that it was the flames formed by the fire element that had gathered around him!
Flames floated into the abandoned and dilapidated church from all directions, lighting up all the dark places in the church!
Those dozens of snake men hiding in the darkness of the church all revealed their true forms!
The moment the middle-aged super-class wizard stepped into the church, dozens of snake people seemed ready to throw themselves into the fire.
Among them, the leader is the snakeman standing at the highest point!
The middle-aged super-class wizard whispered to himself:
"The great commander-level snakeman is infinitely close to the sub-monarch level. It seems to be different from the information they gave."
Immediately, he raised his thick eyebrows and looked at the snake man standing at the highest point:
"Are you the World Serpent?"
