440: Treasure hunting mouse is out again

After confirming that Steve's tracks had been completely lost, Qin Shilei took out a sound transmission talisman and tried to contact An Qian and the others.

He learned that they had all encountered enemies, and after using their ultimate trump cards like sword talismans, they had killed most of the enemies, with only a few lucky ones escaping.

Qin Shilei pondered for a moment, then returned to the previous battlefield.

He took the last remaining living captive from Mu Ziping.

Eye of Illusion Breaking Purple!

As the illusion unfolded, the person's eyes instantly became vacant.

"What's the deal with your pets, those skeletons?"

"Steve helped us contract them; they are powerful beings from Hell."

"How exactly did Steve help you contract these skeletons, whose strength is so much greater than yours?"

"Steve can contact a super powerful being in Hell, and with that being's assistance, we can barely contract those skeletons."

"Are there any conditions for those skeletons to descend into our world? Can you still contract other skeletons now?"

"Those skeletons can only descend to Blue Star by relying on our spiritual power. With my spiritual power, a skeleton can only stay on Blue Star for about twenty minutes. I cannot contract any more skeletons myself right now."

"You must have agreed on a rendezvous point after the sneak attack, right? Take me there."

"Alright."

Qin Shilei followed that person to a hidden small town, and as expected, he did not see any Golden Experts who had returned there.

Helpless, he had no choice but to kill that person with a single sword strike.

The only good news was that he found a sound transmission talisman on that person and learned Steve's method of communication.

Qin Shilei thought for a moment, leaving an illusion to guard this place, while he himself transformed into a phantom and flew towards Brela.

He took the Faceless Mask from An Qian, put it on, and instantly transformed into the person he had just killed.

He took out the sound transmission talisman and contacted Steve.

The sound transmission talisman vibrated for quite a while before finally connecting.

"City Lord, are you alright?" Qin Shilei's voice had completely changed into that person's voice.

"I'm temporarily safe, Claire, and you?" Steve's concerned voice came from the other end.

"City Lord, I'm not Claire, I'm Robol. I'm also temporarily safe." Qin Shilei secretly cursed the other party as a cunning fellow.

He clearly recognized his voice, yet he still tried to call him by the wrong name as a test.

Qin Shilei asked again, "City Lord, what do we do now? My skeleton has been killed by Qin An King. Can I contract an even stronger skeleton?"

Steve comforted him, "It's true that you can't contract another one in the short term, but you definitely will be able to in the future. You should find a place to hide for now, and I'll contact you once I figure out a way to deal with Qin An King."

After speaking, he directly hung up the sound transmission talisman.

As Qin Shilei reverted to his original appearance, he said helplessly, "What a cautious fellow."

An Qian frowned, "As long as Steve, who possesses the method to contract skeletons, is not eliminated, Mu Ziping and the others, and even the entire Qin An Royal Mansion, will be threatened by him."

Qin Shilei gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "I refuse to believe I can't catch this cunning mouse. You all be careful here; I'm going back to the country first."

After speaking, he took out the steel plate with the fixed teleportation array.

He infused it with vital energy and placed nearly a hundred thousand crystals into it, fully activating the teleportation array.

Qin Shilei stepped into the teleportation array and instantly vanished from the spot.

.......

Steve furiously smashed things in the hall.

He was now alone.

He had arranged for his family to go to a city not under his control, but he dared not visit them at this time.

Most of his subordinates had been killed by that damned Qin An King.

Among the few who luckily survived, three had contacted him via sound transmission talismans, but he worried that those three had already been captured by Qin An King, so he dared not meet them.

Did he really have to leave Pretty Country like a stray dog from now on?

"No, I absolutely cannot let Qin An King have an easy time."

Steve took out his orange-colored top-grade staff and began chanting incantations.

Suddenly, a light screen over a meter wide appeared before him.

The skeleton sitting on the throne looked up and glanced at Steve.

"Hmph, what kind of enemy have you provoked to cause almost all of my subordinates to die?"

Steve bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Your Highness Reno. It was a Platinum Peak human who killed them all. May I ask if Your Highness Reno has any way for me to get revenge?"

Reno said disdainfully, "A mere Platinum Realm human; if I could descend to your Blue Star, I could easily destroy them with a wave of my hand."

"Hehe, let's form a contract. I will definitely help you get revenge."

Steve hesitated for a moment, then said firmly, "Alright, let's begin the contract."

He chanted another incantation, and then a profound symbol appeared in mid-air, splitting into two and flying into their minds.

As the contract was completed, Steve instantly fainted to the ground.

"Haha, beautiful world, here I come!"

A summoning array suddenly formed automatically on the ground, and then Reno emerged from it with a sinister grin.

He glanced at Steve, who was unconscious on the ground, "What a weak human, only able to support me in this world for two minutes. Then let me have a good taste of the delicious souls here."

Reno transformed into a phantom and rushed out of the room. Outside was a small town completely overrun by insects.

Dark Sky Veil!

The entire town was suddenly completely engulfed in darkness, and this darkness continued to spread outwards, encompassing an area of ten kilometers in less than a minute.

Then, these black mists rapidly contracted towards the center, revealing a skeletal frame like white jade.

The ground was already covered with dead insects, which had become lifeless corpses.

"Tsk tsk, what a captivating taste!"

After Reno finished exclaiming, he was repelled from Blue Star by an irresistible force.

Half an hour later, Steve finally woke up groggily.

"Ah!"

A sharp pain emanated from his head.

It took Steve a while to recover, and he took out a spiritual potion to restore his spiritual power.

.......

At this time, Qin Shilei also returned to Pretty Country.

Beside him stood a beautiful figure, none other than Jin Qiaoqiao.

He intended to use Jin Qiaoqiao's Treasure Hunting Mouse to try and find Steve.

Qin Shilei's tracking skills were good, but he had never even met Steve, so without the other party's aura, blood, or other key items, he had no way to track him.

The Treasure Hunting Mouse was different; it not only possessed an extremely keen sense of smell but also powerful intuition.

Furthermore, Qin Shilei had given it three fixed attributes that helped it utilize its innate talent.

There was still a very good chance of finding Steve.

Qin Shilei first took out clothes Steve had once worn from his Qiankun Ring and let the Treasure Hunting Mouse sniff them carefully.

"Squeak squeak!" The Treasure Hunting Mouse squeaked a few times, indicating it was ready.

Qin Shilei pulled Jin Qiaoqiao and flew directly towards the mountain where Steve had last appeared.
