472: Father and daughter meet

While Zhang Xiaoli tried to stall for time, Qin Shilei also steadily approached his target.

"These three doctors have been silenced. What do we do now?" Jin Qiaoqiao asked.

"Let your Treasure Hunting Mouse sniff around and see if it can pick up the scent of the person who killed them," Qin Shilei said, a hint of tension in his voice.

The Treasure Hunting Mouse, understanding human speech, immediately began to sniff carefully around the area.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" The Treasure Hunting Mouse quickly found something.

Qin Shilei pulled Jin Qiaoqiao up again and swiftly flew in the direction indicated by the Treasure Hunting Mouse.

Soon, they arrived at the bank of a large river.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

The Treasure Hunting Mouse circled back and forth along the riverbank for a long time but found nothing.

"My King, that person might have left by diving through the river. Because of the water's obstruction, the Treasure Hunting Mouse can't smell their scent," Jin Qiaoqiao said helplessly, holding the Treasure Hunting Mouse.

"The other party is carrying a baby girl. That person can dive, but a baby girl can't. Have the Treasure Hunting Mouse sniff again to see if there are any other human scents," Qin Shilei pondered for a moment, then turned to Jin Qiaoqiao and instructed.

The Treasure Hunting Mouse again frantically sniffed around the vicinity.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

"It says there are no other human scents," Jin Qiaoqiao said, frowning.

"Then he must have used something like a balloon to put the baby girl in, and then submerged and left together. This way, his speed definitely wouldn't be fast, which means he would come ashore not far from here and leave."

Qin Shilei analyzed meticulously, then once again pulled Jin Qiaoqiao and swiftly flew downstream along the river.

After flying over a hundred kilometers, the Treasure Hunting Mouse still hadn't detected the person's scent.

Qin Shilei turned around and flew upstream.

About eighty or ninety kilometers from where the other party entered the river, the Treasure Hunting Mouse suddenly started squeaking, squeaking, squeaking, then raised its paw and pointed to a section of the river they had just flown over.

"It says that place just now seemed to have that person's scent."

Qin Shilei quickly pulled Jin Qiaoqiao back to the sky above that section of the river.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

"That direction."

Qin Shilei followed the direction Jin Qiaoqiao pointed and quickly flew forward.

Fortunately, Qin Shilei had fixed several terms for this Treasure Hunting Mouse, allowing it to clearly sniff out the person's scent even during rapid flight, thus saving Qin Shilei a great deal of time.

Soon they arrived at a deserted small town three or four hundred kilometers from Calvia.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

"It says that person's scent is getting clearer and clearer; the other party is likely in the small town ahead."

Just as Qin Shilei was about to conceal himself and sneak in, a sharp warning sound suddenly came from the small town.

He didn't expect the other party to be so vigilant, immediately having someone sound an alarm upon detecting an approaching person.

Since that was the case, he would just have to kill his way in directly.

Qin Shilei's eyes instantly turned a mesmerizing purple.

The Evolution practitioners in the small town, upon hearing the warning sound, immediately flew out from their hiding places.

However, as soon as they flew out, they found that the sky suddenly became pitch black, and the entire small town was plunged into darkness.

"What's going on?"

"Who sounded the alarm? Where's the enemy?"

"Why can't my fireball illuminate the surroundings?"

At this moment, the Evolution practitioners in the small town were all caught in the illusion Qin Shilei had set up, feeling as if they had entered a completely dark place.

Taking advantage of their moment of panic, Qin Shilei followed the Treasure Hunting Mouse's guidance and arrived at a basement.

"Stop, or the blade in my hand won't be merciful!"

A clown wearing a mask held a long blade to the baby girl's neck and shouted a warning.

There was also a man in the basement, who was currently mumbling incantations, performing some kind of magical spell.

"Hmph!" Qin Shilei snorted coldly, and the two men's eyes suddenly became vacant.

A phantom flashed, and the baby girl was already back in Qin Shilei's arms, at his original position.

But at this moment, an arcane magic circle on the ground had already lit up with white light.

Qin Shilei ignored the magic circle and the two men he had controlled, looking down at the baby girl in his arms.

"Don't cry, Daddy is here to save you."

"Waaah! Waaah! Waaah!" The baby girl completely ignored Qin Shilei's words and continued to cry incessantly.

"My King, this baby girl might be hungry. Do you still have any milk powder or anything?" Jin Qiaoqiao, who was beside him, reminded him.

Qin Shilei rummaged through his Qiankun Ring for a while, found a few bottles of milk powder and baby bottles, then shoved them into Jin Qiaoqiao's hand.

He then handed the baby girl to her as well, "You go into my Blessed Land first and take care of her."

After thinking for a moment, he took the baby girl back, pulled out a Voice Transmission Talisman, and contacted Zhang Xiaoli.

The video call was quickly connected.

"Tell Mary that her daughter has been rescued and she doesn't need to worry."

Mary's avatar quickly appeared in the video, "Where is my daughter? Let me see her quickly."

Qin Shilei adjusted the position of the Voice Transmission Talisman, allowing his little daughter to appear in the video.

Just then, a majestic voice appeared in everyone's ears, "This God has descended; why do you not quickly kneel and welcome me?"

Qin Shilei looked up and saw a man in golden armor emerging from the magic circle he had just seen.

"You go into my space first and take good care of my daughter."

After saying that, he put the baby girl into Jin Qiaoqiao's arms, then took her into his own space.

"Oh." Thor looked at Qin Shilei, a surprised expression on his face.

Then, a golden light flashed in his eyes, scanning Qin Shilei up and down.

"I didn't expect there to be a Diamond Six-star Evolution practitioner on Blue Star."

"The only regret is that he's a yellow-skinned fellow."

"Never mind. It's your great fortune to meet this God today. Mortal, are you willing to become a believer of me, Thor? When Blue Star's barrier is completely opened and this God's true body descends, I will surely bestow upon you infinite power. In the future, I can also help you ignite divine fire, open a divine kingdom, and share eternal life with us."

Qin Shilei looked at the other party intently. He only had the cultivation of a Golden Peak, so he should just be a clone.

He tentatively asked, "Are you a god? Has your true body's cultivation reached the King Realm?"

A hint of displeasure flashed across Thor's face, but he patiently explained, "How can the King Realm be easily attained? This God has lived for tens of thousands of years, and I have never heard of any god entering such a legendary realm."

"Oh." Qin Shilei asked again, "Then do you know Shiva? What is his cultivation level?"

"Hmph." Thor scoffed, "That coward is only a Master Three-star. If he hadn't always hidden in his divine kingdom, I would have smashed him to pieces with one hammer."

As he spoke, his face suddenly stiffened, and he said with a majestic expression, "Mortal, do you or do you not want to become my believer? You must consider carefully. If it weren't for your slight aptitude, you wouldn't even think of becoming my, Thor's, subordinate."

Qin Shilei didn't answer his question; instead, he continued to inquire, "Were you also a human on Blue Star before? How many gods like you are there now, and what is their strength?"

"Hmph." Thor snorted, "It is I who am asking you now, not for you to question this God. As long as you become my believer, I will naturally explain it to you."

Qin Shilei said indifferently, "If I don't understand clearly, how will I know if you're worth pledging allegiance to? If there are many gods like you, and they are all more powerful than you, why wouldn't I pledge allegiance to them?"

Thor said angrily, "You short-sighted fellow! Among all the gods, this God is considered one of the very best. Since you are so unappreciative, then don't expect to receive this God's grace."

After he finished speaking, he slowly disappeared into the magic circle.

As for the two men who had summoned him, Thor didn't even spare them a glance.
