352 Negotiation (Part 1)

Chen Jian discovered the nest where the Musk Swallowtail once lived, or her cocoon. But that was all. In the next three days, he and Wen Qingyun did not find any more valuable clues, at least not on the ground.

Wen Qingyun felt that the musk deer must have flown away.

Chen Jian could only agree with her.

In this way, the clues about the musk swallowtail butterfly were completely disconnected. He had no goal and had to temporarily give up on finding a way to escape - some things should not be rushed, maybe he can get the answer by chance. That's all he did

Comfort yourself.

Thinking that the red-backed spider had promised to take him to explore the cave, he found the red-backed spider that morning and prepared to find another job.

This tall woman looked preoccupied. She didn't say hello when she saw Chen Jian walking towards her, and she didn't even look away.

Chen Jian thought she didn't want to see him, but he soon realized that he was overthinking it. The red-backed spider was just thinking about other things. Her eyes were distracted, and she probably didn't even realize that Chen Jian was coming over, until Chen Jian stretched out her right hand and said

He waved in front of her, and then she hummed softly, which was considered as saying hello to him.

"What happened?" Chen Jian asked in confusion. In his impression, Redback Spider was very dashing and should be a carefree insect refiner. What happened today?

The red-backed spider glanced at him.

"Have you ever seen a wasp?"

"Well, we met once." Chen Jian thought for a while. He seemed to have never told anyone else. Thinking of Redback Spider's behavior a few nights ago, he felt that she was the traitor planted by Flute Wasp beside the Valley Master.

There are almost no other options.

The corpse mover always acts alone and rarely comes into contact with the valley owner; the seven-star ladybug and the jade weevil often move together; the long-necked saw shovel is busy taking care of his daughter, can spy on the valley owner, and can also bring information to the Wasp

Of the people, only red-backed spiders are left.

But looking at her expression, Chen Jian felt that she wasn't going to hide it anymore.

The results were as expected.

The Redback Spider said: "The Wasp wants to see you again."

Chen Jian said nothing.

"You don't look surprised," she asked calmly, "when did you notice it?"

"I was really sure just now, but I had a vague feeling that night that you seemed to be spying on me." Chen Jian said bluntly.

"Yes, yes." She nodded her head, "In that case, I'll tell you the truth. The Wasp is waiting for you at the ruins of the observation tower in the east, after the sun sets today."

"Why night?"

Seeing Chen Jian's nervousness, the red-backed spider smiled and said, "The Wasp is afraid of you. He knows that you killed the withered leaf mantis. He can only escape at night."

The wasp was ready to escape...

The red-backed spider's words not only did not bring peace of mind to Chen Jian, but made him even more worried.

What did the Wasp want to do? Why did he leave a way out? Unless he expected that there would be a dispute between the two, and the dispute would most likely turn into a fight, so he was preparing to escape.

"What is he going to do?"

"I want to discuss something with you." Redback Spider smiled slightly, "He is not good at socializing with others and is very awkward in dealing with others."

Chen Jian thought of the sudden attack of the Flute Hornet that night. He nodded slightly: "That's true, but you have to tell me what you want to discuss tonight, otherwise I won't go back."

The red-backed spider shrugged disdainfully, as if to say: You are so powerful, why should you be afraid of the wasp?

"He discovered the beginning of war."

"War? Didn't the war start a long time ago? The Western Dynasty fell apart."

"A war more severe than the civil war," she said, "The Cloud Eagle Kingdom is about to attack."

The sun set as expected. Chen Jian looked up and saw the darkness sloping down from the west side of the tiankeng. He thought of a sentence he had seen before: Night is the shadow cast by the earth on the sky. The last wisp of fire clouds dyed the surroundings a layer of dark red.

Halo, as the earth rotates, the light disappears completely, and the light from the starry sky cannot reach the bottom of the sinkhole, leaving only deep darkness around, like a curtain falling.

He stood in an empty place in the ruins waiting for the arrival of the Wasp, followed by Wen Qingyun and Gu Quanshun - the two people he could trust the most now. The red-backed spider did not come, and she did not seem to care about this kind of thing.

No interest, just a simple message.

The Wasp appeared in front of them quietly, like a gust of wind. He appeared in this way, probably to warn Chen Jian not to think about other unnecessary things, as he could leave at any time.

The rusty red tree shadows danced behind him.

"Did he send the withered leaf mantis?" Wen Qingyun whispered beside Chen Jian.

"Probably." Chen Jian nodded.

Soft butterflies were flying around him. These insects were not afraid of him. The power of the ghost insects seemed to change his aura. Chen Jian waved his hand, and the butterflies realized that they were surrounding a dangerous guy, and quickly flapped their wings and flew away.

, the open wings refracted pieces of moonlight, like snowflakes.

Di Huifeng stepped forward and saw that Chen Jian was not alone, but he did not show any dissatisfaction.

"We seemed to have had some misunderstandings before," he opened his mind, saying that he meant no harm. "But I have figured out the cause and effect. You are not the owner of the valley, and you solved him."

Chen Jian shook his head: "I didn't kill him, he turned into Gray Butterfly himself."

"No matter what," Flute Wasp didn't care what he said, "This matter is over. My doubts about you at the beginning cost the Dead Leaf Mantis his life, so that should be enough."

Chen Jian's cheek twitched. The Wasp didn't care about the life of the withered leaf mantis.

"So, you asked the withered leaf mantis to assassinate me?"

The Flute Bee didn't want to talk about this matter. He shrugged and said, "I thought too much and took the liberty of thinking that you were the bait used by the Valley Master to deceive me."

"Really?" Chen Jian's tone was full of sarcasm.

The Wasp nodded, but it was unclear whether he was sincere or not.

Chen Jian felt that the Flute Wasp sent the Dead Leaf Mantis for other reasons than just doubting himself, but what exactly was it? He was not sure. He didn't understand the Flute Wasp, and he didn't know what this delicate but rough guy was thinking.

What? He raised his eyebrows and looked at that resolute face.

"Redback Spider told me that you want to discuss matters with Cloud Eagle Kingdom with me?"

He stretched out his right hand neatly, and Chen Jian and others felt nervous. However, he did nothing, he just handed them a silver sculpture in the palm of his hand.

"Well, I found it here."

This is the place where the owner of the valley often stays, and Chen Jian knows it.

The Flute Bee kept a distance from them and threw it over. Chen Jian immediately reached out to catch it. The other two people gathered around him and looked at the sculpture.

"You may not know, but few people know it anymore." Fluttering Bee was quite proud, "To a certain extent, this is the symbol of Cloud Eagle Country——"

"Lilith." Wen Qingyun couldn't help but say after seeing the appearance of the sculpture clearly.

Flute Wasp was stunned. He looked at this girl who looked quite young and immature. How could she know about the Moon Goddess of Cloud Eagle Country when she was only twenty years old? Moreover, there should be very few people who knew her name, unless she was born in the field of research.

A family with a long history - who is she? He suddenly discovered that this person did not have any aura of ghost and insect power in her body. She was not an insect refiner, and neither was the young man next to her who was similar in age to her.
