Chapter 77: Summer Capture!

  In the very center of the room, a man with one arm charred beyond recognition was bound to a cold iron casting pillar, his entire body covered in wounds, yet his gaze seemed sharper than ever.

  "I know you've been hiding in the shadows here, and that you knew long ago that the Kingdom of Sing would send a heavyweight figure. I just want to know when you arrived, how many people are with you, and who provided your cover?" Mo Xuan's face was equally gloomy as he asked, his previous affable uncle-like demeanor nowhere to be seen.

  In his hand was a list, which was the battle damage report. This time, one civilian died and nineteen were injured to varying degrees. Berro had three soldiers killed, five enemy troops annihilated, and the rest escaped.

  Such a loss made Mu Xuan extremely uncomfortable, and as for the prisoner of war, only one person was caught.

  "Do you think I'd say it out loud?" The man tied to the iron pillar responded with a cold smile.

  "Want me to make you talk? I have ten thousand ways to make you speak." Mo Xuan glanced at the disheveled man, his voice low and menacing.

  "I don't believe it," the man said, flashing a cold smile again, and then touched the tip of his tongue to one of his front teeth.

  In an instant, a bright yellow light suddenly lit up in the man's mouth, which was particularly eye-catching in the dimly lit room.

  Seeing this scene, Mo Xuan's expression suddenly changed. He realized something - the guy had a small-scale combat tattoo implanted on his teeth.

  Before he could react, a bright yellow light beam shot out from the back of the man's head and struck the cold iron pillar behind him, killing him instantly.

  "It's indeed a fugitive." Mo Xuan gazed at the man in front of him, his breath gone, and whispered to himself, with a stern expression.

  It's clear that ensuring Luo Xue Ning's safety isn't an easy task. Mo Xuan really hopes the Knights of the Holy Temple can get out of their predicament and come to reinforce them soon, as it's difficult with just Bello.

  "Principal Zhong, this is the basic information of various major forces in Taiwu City." At this time, Babu suddenly walked into the room and handed a copy of the information to Mo Xuan.

  Picking up the information, the records inside are quite detailed. The entire Ta Wu City seems to be a gathering place for various forces, with over 100 large and small forces, among which Shaohuang, Hongbo and Kulong Group are the largest, followed by forces like the Zere family.

  Among them, four people also attracted Mo Xuan's attention, namely Tai Wu San Jie and the mysterious Quan Cang.

  Tai Wu San Jie, who has established his position in Tai Wu City for over a decade and grew up there since childhood. The people of Tai Wu City are almost familiar with their information, but this does not mean that they collude with external enemies to deal with Luo Xue Ning.

  Of course, the most eye-catching among them is Quan Cang. A few months ago, he just made a name for himself, his actions were mysterious and unpredictable, his identity was shrouded in mystery, and almost no one knew his detailed information.

  It seems the most suspicious, but Lao Dao's Mò Xuán calmly analyzed that such a possibility is not non-existent, but not big either. In his view, the forces covering those guys should be those old-brand forces.

  If Guan Zhen was their accomplice, they would never be so high-profile.

  However, this cannot completely rule out the suspicion of hiding something.

  "Divide a portion of people to thoroughly investigate all information related to Quan Cang. Meanwhile, divide another portion of people to continue searching for clues in Tai Wu City. Remember, do not make too much noise and try not to alarm anyone." Mo Xuan gave the order after a moment of contemplation. Mo Xuan himself was well aware that today's events had already brought them unfavorable consequences.

  If a thorough search is conducted, it is highly likely that the citizens will have strong resentment and even collective protests, demanding Berro to leave Ta Wu City. If this were to happen, Berro would be judged as evil in the hearts of the citizens, resulting in harm without any benefit for future actions.

  "I understand." Babu nodded and turned away.

  In the blink of an eye, four days passed quickly, and Chunyan Medicine Hall was completely emptied and disappeared from Taiwu City. As for the rent, Mrs. Lei originally wanted to waive it, just like what Pei Yan did in the beginning, but Xiao Hong insisted on not doing so, and finally settled on five gold coins per month, which was considered very cheap.

  In fact, Xiao Hong's purpose in doing so is very simple. He doesn't want to be beholden to others or feel inferior when meeting the Zale family members again. Although staying for free can save some expenses, he would clearly have to lower his head afterwards, which doesn't fit Xiao Hong's personality.

  Moreover, the current Dahongmei's center is really not worth five gold coins a month.

  At this moment, the time had already arrived at night, Xiao Hong, who was driving the second-generation driving fragrance pattern and Mo Nai auxiliary pattern, sat on the bed with a focused expression. After four days of crazy training, Xiao Hong's driving force had reached 889 shares, still lacking a little bit, he could reach the ninth level of driving apprentice.

  It can be said that with Mo Nai's help, these days have been quite smooth in terms of improving Yu Li's strength.

  Time arrived at midnight, until the second generation of driving fragrance magic thread was completely exhausted, Xiao Hong stopped training and stood up. Xiao Hong couldn't help but clenched his fists, the driving force in his body had reached 908 shares, fully reaching the level of a ninth-level driver.

  At the same time as being fully excited in his heart, Xiao Hong also had to consider another problem, that is, how to make the internal force produce a qualitative change and enter another realm to reach the level of a master.

  This has been mentioned before, it requires the gallbladder of a variant spirit beast. For someone like Xiao Hong with his status, it's something that can be encountered but not sought after, because its value is extremely high in itself. Although Xiao Hong's economic level has improved significantly, he would need at least over a year to accumulate enough money to buy it, and Xiao Hong cannot wait that long.

  What's more important is that even before Beast Gall was captured, it had already been divided up by the various major powers. Where would Xiao Hong even come into play?

  Relying on his own talent to transform, Xiao Hong thought that he didn't have such talent yet.

  Can only observe for a while before saying anything else.

  After all, the summer capture is about to begin, and at that time, there will be more opportunities. The so-called summer capture refers to the major forces of Taiwu City forming teams and entering the nearby dark fusion caves for hunting.

  There is a place near Tai Wu City where spiritual beasts gather in large numbers. It's also an extremely dangerous place, and even Sang Hongyun doesn't dare to go there alone.

  Going there also requires risking one's life.

  Of course, every time these people return, it is also the most abundant period of Taowu City materials. For those who yearn to become a rider and do not have an absolutely strong backer, it is more or less an opportunity. Of course, the best way is to find a team and go together, so that the opportunity will be greater.

  Keeping this in mind, Xiao Hong took advantage of his remaining energy to come to the desk, pick up the paper and pen, and start writing and drawing. Since the Tiger Tooth Battle Pattern was destroyed earlier, during the battle with Fu Yan, Xiao Hong could already clearly feel that the Thorny Battle Pattern of the third level of Qi Refining was no longer compatible with himself. The only Shadow Strike Battle Pattern that could fully exert its effect had only a dozen or so strands of energy left to use.

  Xiao Hong's battle marks are now facing a shortage crisis, so he must seize the time to create even stronger defensive battle marks. Otherwise, if one day he encounters Fu Yan unexpectedly, he basically won't have any means of counterattack left.

  Who knows what will happen in the future and whether there will be conflicts with others or not.

  However, there is no template for the ninth-level battle pattern in "De-style Concave Pattern", Xiao Hong can only rely on his own exploration and the rich experience accumulated from making battle patterns before to design a battle pattern.

  The ninth-level war pattern of the charioteer is more complex in design and conception compared to the previous thorny war pattern, and as before, Xiao Hong wants to take the high-quality route, ensuring that the performance is absolutely excellent while being suitable for his own fighting style.

  It can be said that making tattoos is like creating art pieces, both require technique and inspiration.

  After thinking for an hour, the desk in front of Xiao Hong had piled up more than a meter high with books. He had a general idea and a way to crack it in his mind. Then he picked up a new sheet of paper again, drew lines on it, and began to calculate and ponder, constantly making corrections.

  It wasn't until 3 am that Xiao Hong finally completed the design of this ninth-level battle pattern, which was quite complex and had a variety of striking methods.

  He carefully locked the grass paper in the drawer and burned the calculated paper, then Xiao Hong lay on the bed and fell fast asleep.

  As the relocation notice had been issued yesterday, Dahong Pharmacy did not choose to operate. At 10 o'clock in the morning, when Xiao Hong woke up, he entered the Yuanchunyan Medicine House. This was also a quadrangle courtyard building, but its area was much larger than before, with a total area equivalent to four times that of the previous one.

  In addition to a spacious and bright front hall, the second floor is also a very large attic that can be used as a sickroom or for storing materials.

  The yard in the backyard is also not small, except for the large room facing the front hall, there are two large rooms on each side, so Linzi and others don't have to squeeze into one room with Li Le anymore.

  The large room in the front hall opposite the gate, undoubtedly, Xiao Hong will occupy.

  "Li Le, what about the things I asked you to buy before?" Xiao Hong asked, slightly examining the decorations in the front hall.

  "It's all settled, I reckon it'll be delivered soon." Li Le smiled and replied.

  "Also, about us moving out of the house, have you informed the Nishikawa family?" Xiao Hong asked further.

  But just as Xiao Hong's words had barely left his mouth, a fairly luxurious magic pattern car came speeding from afar and stopped right in front of the main entrance of Da Hong Mei, and out came a middle-aged man who was over fifty years old.
