After that, Xia Gui was like a different person, he began to supervise the work of the slaves in the Hundred Beasts Garden, and required the slaves not only to finish the work, but also to do the work beautifully.

What's more, he intends to find a task on the mission list, specifically to take the headache-inducing difficult tasks issued by the northern base.

This morning, he returned to the park with two three-star missions.

"What, stocking long-haired sharp-toothed tigers, boss, this mission will kill you!"

Hearing Xia Gui announce this month's new mission, Cao Ming's eyes couldn't help but widen in horror.

Recently, Xia Gui's management style has changed abruptly, and he is really a little uncomfortable.

In the past, Xia Gui always calculated the total star score of the task, so that when he submitted the task at the end of the month, he just happened to be ranked in the middle, and Xia Gui himself turned around and took the raccoon dog to Qingmao Forest after assigning the task.

And now Xia Gui has completely become a tyrant, and has begun to squeeze the labor force of the slaves in the park, and even has a bit of brute strength regardless of safety.

"Is this task difficult?" Xia Gui said lightly.

Cao Ming scratched his head, "Boss, long-haired sharp-toothed tigers will bite people to death." Several brothers have died under its claws, and you want to release him?"

Cao Ming took the lead in coaxing, and sure enough, it aroused the emotions of the slaves below, and they also muttered in a complaining voice.

After listening to Cao Ming's explanation, Xia Gui glared at him unhurriedly, and said to all the complaining slaves: "Since I have taken over this task, I will not leave you alone, and I will be responsible for your life and death." The long-haired sharp-toothed tiger may be ferocious, but if you are careful, it is not so easy to be bitten to death. ”

He paused and said slowly, "If you missed this mission today because you were afraid of the long-haired sharp-toothed tiger, then tomorrow there will be an even more terrible mission to find you." Remember, there are other things in this world that are ten thousand times more terrifying than the long-haired sharp-toothed tiger. It may make you feel what is more terrible than death!"

"If you want to follow me in the future, then I'm afraid you can't get away with it. I need you to get out of your comfort zone - if you feel relaxed and happy now, then death is not far away. ”

Xia Gui's words were not alarmist, he saw the cruelty of the northern base with his own eyes, so he said these words from the bottom of his heart.

The slaves glanced at Xia Gui with a little blank eyes, as if they didn't quite understand his feelings, and they all thought that he was exaggerating. But Xia Gui couldn't point this matter too thoroughly.

He didn't know how long the slaves in the Garden of Beasts would live, so he could only try his best to keep one of them.

......

In the morning, he took the slaves to complete the work of the Hundred Beast Garden, and Xia Gui stretched his hands and feet, preparing to return to the grass hut to rest. The slaves had finished their work in the afternoon, and he needed to continue to practice in the Qingmao Forest.

As soon as I walked to the door of the thatched hut, I vaguely felt that the atmosphere here was a little eerie. There seemed to be a breath of death for which the grass and trees withered, shrouded in the vicinity of the grass house, Xia Gui couldn't help but look left and right vigilantly, and sure enough, under a big tree in front of the grass house, he saw a familiar figure.

This is a mysterious black-robed man, his whole body is shrouded in robes, and he wears a robe and a one-piece hat with an extremely pressed brim on his head, and his entire face is shrouded in shadows, and his facial features are not visible.

His bony, skinny right hand came out of his black robe, holding a white bone staff, which looked rather eerie.

Seeing this outfit, Xia Gui's mind "buzzed", isn't this the same Master Gu Li I saw in Shimen before?

Xia Gui raised his head and found that there was a hint of interest in the eyes of this Lord Gu Li, and he seemed to smile to himself.

Why did he come to him? Could it be that his deeds of hiding in the haystacks of the northern base have been discovered?

Xia Gui felt his throat tight, and he quickly swallowed saliva to relieve his nervousness.

"Turtle. Master Gu Li spoke in a low voice, and he called out Xia Gui's name very unexpectedly.

Xia Gui hurriedly bowed slightly, pretending not to know the two of them and said, "Hello, my lord." ”

Gu Li smiled kindly, "Little guy, I looked for you two days ago, but you weren't there. It's your time for today. ”

Xia Gui vaguely remembered that Cao Ming had told him that a mysterious black-robed adult had come to look for him, and he was not in the Hundred Beasts Garden at that time. The adult said he would come back again. Now it seems that the mysterious person Cao Ming said is Gu Li.

With this smile, Gu Li's facial features were revealed from the brim of his hat, which could be regarded as becoming clear.

This is a kind old man, the same age as his teacher, Boudin. If he hadn't seen his heinous behavior in the northern base, Xia Gui really thought he was a good person.

What did he come to do with him? Xia Gui's suspicious gaze fell on Gu Li's face.

Gu Li smiled slightly and introduced himself: "My name is Gu Li, and I am a priest of the northern base. You may have heard my name, but you haven't seen me. That's not surprising, because I'm really busy, I need to refine medicines, I need to study the properties of animals and plants, and I need to produce results, so I don't have time to go to the villa to inspect everyone's work. ”

Xia Gui smiled and nodded politely, but kept sneering in his heart, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to." You're busy doing vivitro tests. ”

Of course, I only dare to think about this in my heart, and I can't scold it.

"I heard that there was a cultivator with a golden vein in the villa, but I didn't expect it to be you, a little guy. Gu Li smiled at Xia Gui and said, "I came to you to ask, are you interested in coming with me?"

Xia Gui's eyes were a little dull for a moment. This hurtful old bastard actually wanted to take himself away.

What exactly does he want to do when he takes himself?

Most of them do their own research, study how the living structure of the Golden Veiner is formed, and how to become a Golden Veiner. Or, it is to teach yourself how to do the things that hurt nature and reason, and how to develop the greatest damage in yourself.

"My lord, I am very honored to be so kind, but I am really honored to be a little one. It's just that the little one is ordered to take care of the Hundred Beast Garden, and I'm afraid I won't be able to leave this place. Xia Gui replied.

Gu Li smiled slightly, "You don't have to worry about this, I will take you as an apprentice." I'm sure no one will stop Tani-sama's apprentice. And you, no longer a humble slave, will become the apprentice of the great Guli-sama. ”

After speaking, Gu Li smiled amiably, his eyes full of pride.

This apprentice is not an ordinary apprentice, but an apprentice of Master Gu Li, who is in charge of the northern base, and his identity and status are not simple.

This condition is full of temptation, and if you are someone else, you will definitely follow Gu Li away. It's a pity that Xia Gui has witnessed what happened in the northern base and is full of wariness of this fake old bastard.

He smiled quietly, "I don't know what Master Gu Li wants to teach me?"

Gu Li smiled slightly and asked rhetorically, "Little doll." What do you want to learn? There is no one in this world who is omnipotent, and Master Gu Li will not. Alchemy, the method of cultivation, whatever you want to learn, I will teach you. ”

Xia Gui wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and laughed dryly, "Lord Gu Li, I want to learn forging." ”

This Gu Li's cultivation is profound, and his alchemy is also profound, but he can't forge it!

After all, no one is perfect, and being able to master two techniques is already Gu Li's limit, so he gave up this forging technique. Unexpectedly, Xia Gui mentioned forging, which made Gu Li's old face turn white, and he felt like he was choking, and then the atmosphere became a little embarrassing.

"Forging? You're interested in this thing. I have a friend who is proficient in blacksmithing, and I can ask him to teach you. Gu Li said sincerely.

Xia Gui shook his head, "My lord, thanks to your kindness, but I can't leave the Hundred Beast Garden. After all, I'm just a slave and can't decide where I go. The lord above ordered me to take good care of the Garden of Beasts, and I couldn't leave without his permission. ”

Seeing Xia Gui's attitude so resolute, Gu Li's eyes also rolled, and then Wan Er smiled: "It's really a little slave who understands the rules, then I'll go and talk to your steward." ”

Xia Gui's heart jumped, he didn't expect this old guy to be serious!
