Chapter Twenty-Three: A Wraith Spirit
As the battle ended, the ground was littered with demonic corpses.
I took off the red veil and trimmed it a little before leaving the tomb.
Went to the next floor.
As I continued to go deeper, either the Tao or the evil spirits, I encountered a lot.
Maybe I'm lucky that I haven't encountered anything powerful.
It wasn't until I reached the fiftieth floor that I encountered something tricky.
The tomb on the fiftieth floor resembles a steel mill, filled with all sorts of steel, copper, and various rough stones.
Large machines run on their own, unmanned.
I walked deeper inside and saw a steel-making platform on which an old man was standing, wielding a huge hammer in his hand and smashing a piece of burnt red iron.
The thin body was in stark contrast to the steel hammer in his hand, and it was impossible to imagine that an old man had such strength, if nothing else, this old man should be the owner of this house.
"What the hell went wrong. The old man muttered quietly, but his hand did not stop, and with each smash, countless sparks popped out of the iron and splashed in all directions.
When I suddenly appeared, the old man was stunned for a moment, and then put down the giant hammer in his hand very happily: "Great, someone is finally here." ”
I nodded. "That's right, do you have any orders, old man?"
The reason why I am so polite is because the old man in front of me exudes an unfathomable aura, and it is very likely that he is a resentful spirit!!
The old man patted me on the shoulder: "Yes, you have courage, I haven't seen anyone in years, old man." I remember the last time someone came to break in was years ago. It just so happens that I need someone to help me with a favor, so as soon as it happens, how about I give you a soft armor of the evil spirit?"
"Evil Soft Armor?"
"Yes, it's the soft armor of the evil spirit, which can resist the full force of the evil spirit's attack on a stick of incense, how about it, do you want it? ”
"Yes, yes!" I said without thinking. It can resist the kung fu of a resentful spirit attacking a stick of incense, this is simply an artifact, okay!
"Wait, you're not going to lie to me, are you?"
Elder Tong glared at me: "Of course, my old man doesn't need to lie to your doll, you just say whether to do it or not." ”
"Okay, you say, as long as I can do it, I'll do it as much as I can. "I don't dare to say it all.
"What I asked you to do is very simple, I have a stove in the back room, and I'm going to make something very important on the top of the stove later, but I can't leave it in the meantime, because I have to add some materials to it at any time. Your task is to add firewood to the stove and keep the fire in the stove unextinguished, how about it?"
It seemed easy to me, and it wasn't as difficult as I thought. Again, "It's that simple?"
"Well, it's as simple as that. ”
"Okay, I agreed. "The joy in my heart doesn't seem to be as complicated as I thought.
But when I entered the inner room and saw the stove, I was dumbfounded.
"Good boy!"
Looking up, the stove that the copper elder said was as tall as a building, and those firewoods were simply surrounded by big trees, each five or six meters long.
"How can this be added, it can't be dragged at all. "I looked at the mountain of firewood and felt so aggrieved that I was about to cry.
But the old bronze said, "Young man, you promised me that if you don't help me, I will throw you into the furnace." ”
"But I can't drag that big of wood. "I looked at the piles of trees, and I felt that I was stupid, how could there be such a good thing in the world, adding a fire to get such a powerful soft armor, that would not make money, how could others be so stupid.
"It's a nuisance. "Elder Tong didn't know where to find an axe and threw it to me. "That's fine, you can chop it in pieces with an axe and transport it in, and that's it. ”
"Do it or not!" Tong Lao's body began to exude yin energy.
"Do it, do it!"
So far, I can only do it, otherwise my life will be gone.
I took the axe he threw at me and began to chop down the trees on the ground.
"Let me come out and help. "The coward, who sensed that there was no danger around him, wanted to help, and was then released by me.
When the old man saw this, he threw me an axe again. "It's better that way. Start, start early, finish early, don't lose the fire, or I'll throw you in the stove. Then he threw a torch into it and lit the stove.
The fire inside began to burn rapidly, the temperature in the room continued to rise, and the copper elder also began to urge me: "Stop grinding and chirping, hurry up and add firewood." ”
"Hey. I said yes, and began to chop with my axe, but not with great force, and it took a while to split a section of wood. The coward, by contrast, was very fast, and with the axe brush, a section of wood was cut off, and then he was immediately sent to the furnace, and when he was done, he continued to come back to cut wood.
I only cut down a section of wood, and he sent it to the stove in five or six sections.
After working like this for a long time, I was tired and full of big heads, and the fire in the stove barely met the minimum requirements of Tong Lao because of the existence of cowards, but it was only reluctant, and I couldn't stop and rest for a while.
