The dilapidated castle in front of him gave Howard an extremely 'gloomy' feeling, although it was daytime at this time, Howard still felt a chill on his spine, he walked to the castle 'door', looking at the rusty iron 'gate' in front of him, and his heart had a retreat, he just wanted to turn around and go back, when there was a 'yin' sound from the castle' door, "Boom...... Mr. Huo, why do you have to hold back when you come? ”

Huo Hua's body froze, and at this time, the iron 'gate' of the ancient castle slowly opened, and Duran's 'yin' voice sounded again, "Come in, without my help, you can't become the 'gate' master of Hong's 'gate' in this life." ,。 ”

In fact, Duran didn't know that he cared more about the cultivation stone than the position of the master of the Hong 'Gate' and 'Gate'.

Now that he had reached the 'gate' and had been discovered by Durant, Howard felt that there was no need to turn back, so he gritted his teeth and walked directly towards the inside of the ruined castle.

The inside of the castle was as dilapidated as the outside, and the lobby was filled with the smell of rotting corpses, accompanied by crows and bats hovering and screaming in mid-air......

After Howard entered the lobby of the castle, the wall lamps in the lobby suddenly lit up, and the dark castle had some light, and Howard looked up and saw Duran dressed in white, with white hair floating in the air, like a ghost.

Below him knelt a tiger-headed alien with his head buried in the ground, seemingly extremely devout to Duran.

Durán looked directly at Huo Hua, and a strange smile appeared on his face, "Mr. Huo, my patience is almost exhausted by you, if you don't come again today, I am ready to attack the Hongmen headquarters." ”

Howard looked at Durán and said, "Are you also of the same race?" ”

Durán laughed, "Do you think I'm alien?" ”

Huo Hua shook his head, frowned, and said, "Not like that." ”

Durán laughed out loud, the strange laughter kept echoing in the lobby, and the laughter stopped halfway, he looked at Howard playfully, and said, "If I am not of the alien race, how can the alien race listen to my orders!" ”

Huo Hua looked surprised, "Since you are of an alien race, why do you look no different from a human?" ”

"That's because my strength is strong enough that I can transform my half-beast state into a human form."

"If you're so powerful, why do you want me to cooperate with you aliens?"

Duran squinted his eyes and said: "When I was transformed from a half-beast to a human body, I was accidentally discovered by your Hong 'Gate' and 'Gate' master, and I was injured by him, leaving old wounds, resulting in my current inability to exert my strength, I can only float like a ghost, if it weren't for your 'Gate' master, I can now destroy your entire Hong 'Gate' alone!" ”

Huo Hua didn't expect that Duran and Hong 'Gate' would have such a grudge, but he hadn't heard Huo Xiangtian mention it before.

"Then you can tell me, what do you want from Hongmen' if we join forces to capture Hongmen?"

"Genki Neidan!"

"What is the Genki Inner Dan?" Howard looked puzzled.

Durán explained: "It is the convergence of a kind of power that we condensed when we were cultivating in the alien race, just like the 'sea of qi' when you orientals cultivated. It's just that your 'Qi Sea' is invisible, while our Yuan Qi Inner Dan is tangible. ”

Huo Hua roughly understood, and said with a surprised expression: "You mean to say that Huo Xiangtian injured you and robbed you of your Yuan Qi Pill." ”

Durant's face showed anger, and he said in a low voice: "If it weren't for this, how could I not have a 'flesh' body!" ”

"Do you have any other requirements besides getting the Yuan Qi Inner Pill?"

Duran gritted his teeth and said, "I will personally execute Huo Xiangtian!" ”

Huo Hua said: "If you can't go out in person, it will be difficult for the Hong 'Gate' to be broken by foreign races, and recently the Hong 'Gate' has invited two masters to help, and its strength is no longer under Huo Xiangtian......"

"You're talking about the kid who recently moved into Hong's 'Gate' and the old man of Tianji, right?"

"You...... How do you know? Howard looked at Durán in shock.

Durán laughed proudly, the wrinkles on his face twisted together, looking extremely terrifying, I saw him 'lick' his tongue, raised his eyebrows and said: "The old man of Tianji has promised me to cooperate with me!" ”

Huo Hua couldn't calm down anymore, his face changed in shock, "Even the old man of Tianji was bought by you?" ”

"If I don't have ninety percent certainty, how can I be so calm, I asked you for help just to increase the certainty of the last one, I like to do things ten out of ten, if you don't choose to cooperate with us, your end will be miserable!"

Huo Hua's expression was uncertain, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "If I promise to cooperate with you, do you really want me to be the master of the Hong 'Gate' and 'Gate'?" ”

"Of course! I don't have any interest in the Hong Gate, and I only attack the Hong Gate to get back my own Yuan Qi Inner Dan. ”

"Then what conditions did you promise to the old man of Tianji?"

Durán said with an indifferent expression: "It's not your business, what he needs has nothing to do with your interests, you can rest assured." ”

Huo Hua calmed his heart and said, "If you promise to do me another favor, I will agree to cooperate with you." ”

"What's the busy?"

"If Hong's 'gate' is breached, that kid named Lin Tao must be 'handed over' to me to deal with!"

"What, you have a grudge?"

"You don't have to worry about this, you just say that you don't agree!"

“ok！”

Huo Hua's face was pale, revealing a hint of joy, and said, "Do you have any news plans to attack Hong's 'Gate'?" ”

"Of course, I'll tell you the plan now, and then you just have to do what I say!"

……

At this time, it was 3 o'clock in the afternoon in country M and 6 o'clock in the morning in China.

When Lin Tao was looking through the ancient books in the library in Hong's 'Gate', the mobile phone on his body suddenly rang.

Putting down the book, Lin Tao picked up the phone and saw that it was Shen Manli calling, so he quickly answered it with a smile and said, "Manli, do you miss me?" ”

Shen Manli said in a joyful tone on the other end of the phone: "Xiao Tao, the mine has dug out the ore!" ”

"Really?"

Lin Tao looked surprised and said with a smile: "Tell me quickly, what mines have been dug up?" If it's a gold mine, it's developed, haha......"

Shen Manli said: "It's not a gold mine, it's just an ore dug up, but we don't know exactly what kind of ore it is." ”

"I don't know what it means?"

Shen Manli said: "I was also just woken up and rushed to the scene, and I looked at the ore, the whole body was black, and I don't know what kind of mineral it is." ”

"Blackened throughout? What kind of mineral could that be?! Lin Tao muttered in a low voice, and then said, "Why don't you ask an expert in minerals to identify it?" ”

"Let's mine in private, how dare you invite experts who don't know the roots!"

Lin Tao felt that what Shen Manli said was also reasonable, and carefully sailed the ship for ten thousand years, after thinking about it, Lin Tao opened his mouth and said: "Why don't you dig out all the ore first, and then transfer it to a complete place, and then think of a way when I come back from abroad." ”

Shen Manli sighed and said, "How long do you need to stay abroad?" Haven't Li Yifan and the others been rescued by you, what else do you have? ”

Lin Tao smiled bitterly: "Hong 'Gate' asked me for help, and I can't leave it for the time being." ”

"Huh?" Shen Manli called out in surprise on the other end of the phone, "Aren't you having a big holiday with Hong 'Men'?" Why are you helping them now? ”

"It's too long to talk about this, so let's not talk about it now, and I'll tell you slowly when I return to China."

"Okay......"

Shen Manli has always been a smart 'woman' and will not do that kind of thing.

Before hanging up the phone, Lin Tao instructed, "Be sure to be optimistic about the ore, and tell me anything at any time." ”

"Don't worry, I've got it!"

Hanging up Shen Manli's phone, Lin Tao found Huo Xiangtian standing behind him, so he turned around and smiled: "Huo 'Gate' Master still has a hobby of eavesdropping on other people's phone calls?" ”

Huo Xiangtian laughed and said, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I originally came here to look for you, how did I know that you were on the phone, and the voice was not small, I didn't want to listen to it." ”

"Didn't you hear them all?"

"I heard you, but don't worry, I won't tell you about your secret mining."

Lin Tao: "......"

"Are you looking for me?" Lin Tao glanced at Huo Xiangtian and changed the topic.

Huo Xiangtian was 'coloring' at this time, and said: "In the past few days, I have discovered that there are alien figures near Hong'men Castle, and they should be monitoring us, and they may ......sneak attack at any time."

"I also found out that there is an alien aura nearby, but although the alien race's 'flesh' body is hard and powerful, it is as simple as cutting a cucumber for the Sun and Moon Knife, so you don't have to worry."

Huo Xiangtian smiled bitterly: "I'm not worried about this, but ...... I also asked the old man of Tianji to help, don't you have a grudge, what if you meet it then? ”

Lin Tao smiled and said: "This is easy to do, let him strike first when the time comes, I will hide in the shadows, if he can cope with it, it is the best, if he can't cope with it, his cultivation will be almost consumed by then, and he will have nothing to do with me when I come out at that time." ”

"You are really cunning enough, my choice of you as the master of the Hong 'Gate' and 'Gate' may be the wisest choice in my life."

Lin Tao said with a smile: "Don't come to this set, I didn't promise to be the 'gate' master of your Hong 'Gate', and you are really in the prime of life, why do you want to abdicate and make way for Xian, isn't this idle!" ”

Huo Xiangtian smiled bitterly: "If I have been holding the position of the 'Gate' Lord, I will always be entangled in trivial matters, in that case, I will not even have the slightest hope of impacting the Earth Immortals." ”

"Damn, you're afraid of trivial things, aren't I afraid, you're afraid that you won't be able to break through the realm of earth immortals, aren't I afraid?"

Huo Xiangtian said "lustfully": "Brother Lin Tao, you are different from me, the realm of earth immortals is as simple as searching for things for you in the future, and I am full of confidence in you." But I'm different, even if I cut off all the trivial things and concentrate on retreat and cultivation for another fifty years, I may not be able to achieve the realm of the earth immortals......"

"Don't wear a high hat for me, you have confidence in me, but I don't have confidence in myself, if you are tired of doing it, find someone else, I'm not interested......"
