Chapter 173: Brilliant Gold, Shadow Python heaven-devouring Technique 3
Then today, they encountered the sword hilt and had a big battle with it.
“Oh right, do you know what that hilt is?” Wang Ye asked casually.
Jin Ge was silent for a moment, “I might not be able to tell you this because you’ll have to be at least a Platinum-rank senior investigator to have the right to know the information related to the hilt. Although you are my savior, I’m sorry that I can’t tell you.”
Wang Ye did not ask further.
The official history of the Xinghai Demonic Disaster was very simple.
It was only said that there had been a demonic sword that was extremely vicious. The sword had massacred cities, causing the space to shake, leading to the emergence of the dark fog, and resulting in countless casualties.
Later, it had been suppressed by the experts.
This was the official history, and everyone knew about it.
It was just that the details would naturally not be known by everyone.
According to Wang Ye’s experience, he supposed that it was probably because Xiao Tao was too powerful and the experts back then couldn’t destroy it, so they split it into three pieces and sealed its parts in different places.
Otherwise, the question of why Xiao Tao’s parts were still around could not be explained.
The locations of the seals were naturally top-secret, so one couldn’t possibly get to know the information casually.
Wang Ye nodded to show his understanding.
He hadn’t found any relevant information in the Investigation Corps because of this as well.
Just as the demonized Xiao Tao had said, there were bound to be some who yearned to destroy the world.
Maybe those people were eager to destroy the locations of the seals or something.
Of course, as for whether Xiao Tao was a demonic sword or not was another matter.
From the perspective of a human investigator, what they were doing was naturally the right thing to do.
To put it bluntly, his rank was still too low.
“By the way, can I ask…” Jin Ge thought for a moment, “What happened to the sword hilt? It is terrifyingly strong. How did you manage to bring me out unharmed?”
“Oh, I have a light-type pet,” Wang Ye said without batting an eyelid, “After my pet swallowed all of you, I exchanged a few moves with it, and it ran away. I don’t know where it went. But on my return, I found that the demon skeleton sword ghosts have all disappeared. Its strength should have been greatly weakened.”
Jin Ge pondered for a few seconds and said, “If that’s the case, then it’s fine. Light-type pets are indeed the bane of the fierce beasts. I remember that I wasn’t very conscious at that time, but I did see your pet restrain it. However, it should still be hiding somewhere in the Land of Hidden Mysterious. Well, as long as it hasn’t come outside, it’s fine. Regarding this matter, I’ll report it to the higher-ups and record your contribution.”
“No need, there’s no need,” Wang Ye waved his hand and said, “I’m only here to participate in the assessment. Besides, you guys had fought the sword hilt for a long time first and it was already worn out. That’s why I was able to temporarily restrain it.”
Jin Ge smiled and said, “This kind of thing is still necessary. I didn’t expect that Anping County would have such a powerful investigator like you. If you want, you can join the Qixing Investigation Corps after the professional assessment. Although the internal competition is fierce, the resources are still pretty good. If you find a few colleagues who share the same interests, you can also live a very comfortable life.”
Wang Ye declined with a smile.
Then, the two of them chatted for a while.
In the process of chatting, Wang Ye found that the investigation teams were independent. Usually, they only listened to the orders of their superiors.
Other than that, they didn’t seem to be attached to anyone else.
Only the colleagues in the teams were relatively close.
This was especially so for Platinum-rank investigators. Other than carrying out investigation orders, they were usually extremely free. No one would stop them from going wherever they wanted to go.
Wang Ye had Jin Ge take his companions away, and finally settled the matter.
“If the Qixing Investigation Corps sends another investigation team to investigate and look for the sword hilt, they should be able to find out the fact that the sword hilt is not in the Land of Hidden Mysterious. At that time, they should be suspicious of me. But by then, I might have already discovered the truth,” Wang Ye shook his head.
He could be sure of this even without the simulation.
If these four people had died in the Land of Hidden Mysterious, then the demonized Xiao Tao would’ve definitely encountered stronger investigators. The investigations would’ve sped up. Even if he took the sword hilt away, it would’ve been difficult for him to bring it to the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb then.
At that time, there was no condition to run a simulation, but Wang Ye could already deduce the outcome himself.
Bringing these four people back would instead allow them to give some misleading information and stall for some time.
No matter what, taking Xiao Tao’s remnant body away from the Land of Hidden Mysterious was extremely risky.
After that, Wang Ye returned to the lounge.
“Next, there will be a battle,” Wang Ye looked at Xiao Jiu and the white python, “This battle might be relatively difficult. How is the joint attack that you guys have been thinking about?”
Xiao Jiu and the white python looked at each other.
Hmph!
The two little fellows turned their heads.
Uh… It didn’t seem to be making good progress.
“Then, do you want to simulate?” Wang Ye looked at the white python.
Other than the level of its combat technique, Xiao Jiu did not need to improve too much for the time being.
Its skills needed time to reach the peak mastery realm, anyway.
On the other hand, the white python had just evolved, so it needed to improve in quite some aspects.
There were quite a few skills that were still in the beginner realm, and most importantly, the combat technique.
“Let’s simulate the combat technique!” Wang Ye thought for a moment. At this stage, only combat techniques could directly improve one’s battle strength.
If the white python could obtain an emperor-rank combat technique in the simulation, as long as it cultivated it, it would be able to bring about extremely powerful combat effects.
In combination with the long simulations, the white python could learn quickly…
As for the white python’s skills, they were all intermediate and advanced skills. It would take at least two or three simulations to get them to the great success realm.
“Hmm, after all, there are six people and six pets on the other side.”
