Chapter 157: The Last Hope
Yi Xiao looked at the Ice Emperor quietly, for fear of missing any of the next words, because this was probably the key to his departure from here!
"I was too hungry and needed a place to rest, so I discovered this valley by mistake. When I regained my strength and was about to leave here, I was given a mission to protect the treasures here. ”
"Mission?" Yi Xiao's face was full of doubts, Yi Xiao also knew that he would encounter a mission in the end times, but he didn't know that the mutant beast also had a mission!
The Ice Emperor nodded and shook his head again. "I don't know if that's the right description or not, but a voice told me that I can't leave this valley, and that if the treasure is obtained, I'll die! Only after a year has passed will I be able to regain my freedom. ”
I see!
After listening to the Ice Emperor's explanation, Yi Xiao suddenly realized.
No wonder the Ice Emperor attaches so much importance to this treasure, no wonder it wants to trap itself here for a year, no wonder the Ice Emperor stays alone in this valley!
Suddenly, a chill rose in Yi Xiao's heart. Even such a powerful existence as the Ice Emperor would be forced to be trapped in this valley!
It's as if there is an invisible hand that has been controlling everything, whether it is humans or zombies, or mutant beasts and guardian monsters, they are just a pawn in its hands, at its mercy.
"Do you remember how you got this task, or who gave it to you?"
"Of course I can't forget, that voice is the same as the one I heard when I first became a guardian monster!"
Yi Xiao looked at the Ice Emperor deeply, and gradually fell into deep thought.
For a moment, both a man and a wolf fell silent.
For the big hand that is hidden in the shadows and controls everything, he has already figured it out from the time Yi Xiao first noticed it.
Although Yi Xiao doesn't like to feel at the mercy of others, he doesn't have enough strength to change all of this now. Instead of worrying every day, it is better to use the resources of the last days to improve yourself, and maybe one day you can rewrite all this.
Now what he was entangled with was that he already knew the relationship between the Ice Emperor and the treasure, but it didn't seem to help the current situation.
If what the Ice Emperor said is true, then as long as he steals the treasure, the Ice Emperor will be wiped out, and he will be able to leave this valley when the time comes.
However, the Ice Emperor was always guarding the entrance of the cave, and he couldn't even escape from the valley, so how could he steal the treasure under the nose of the Ice Emperor?
Yi Xiao sighed slightly, unexpectedly that in the end, it would be a busy job.
"Human, I'm done, it's your turn." The Ice Emperor said.
"Actually...... I don't know exactly what this treasure is. Yi Xiao's tone sounded weak, and the last hope was dashed, and Yi Xiao didn't know what else he could do.
"What?" The Ice Emperor's eyes widened.
Before, he clearly said that as long as he told the truth, he would tell himself what this treasure was?
Isn't it obvious that this human is making fun of it now that he says he doesn't know?
"Don't worry, I'm not done yet." Yi Xiao glanced at the Ice Emperor lightly and continued: "Although I don't know what this treasure is, it has something to do with one of my abilities. ”
"What do you mean?"
"I have an ability in my right eye, and I wanted to use this ability to find your flaws, but I didn't expect it to resonate with the thing in the cave. So, this item must have something to do with my abilities. ”
The Ice Emperor said incredulously, "What you said is true? ”
"Do you think I need to lie to you?"
The Ice Emperor thought for a moment and continued, "Okay, let me see the ability you mentioned. ”
As soon as the words fell, Yi Xiao's right eye had already begun to change, at first a little red light appeared in his eye, and then the red light became brighter and brighter, and a wisp of colorful light appeared in the most central position.
"This is the reply?" Yi Xiao put away the [Grim Reaper's Right Eye] and said.
The Ice Emperor nodded, it had seen Yi Xiao use this ability, but it didn't take it to heart at the beginning.
Now when I look closely, I find that when Yi Xiao launched this skill, the energy fluctuations on his body were indeed somewhat similar to that treasure!
However, the treasure that he guards, the treasure that is related to his life, why does it have anything to do with this human being?
At the beginning, his light ball was stolen by this human, so it had its later encounter, and then he was trapped here, and the most fundamental reason was that it was also related to this human!
Why is it yourself who has broken into this valley? Why aren't other humans involved with this treasure?
Is all this a coincidence?
Yi Xiao didn't care about the Ice Emperor anymore, because he thought of another possibility, although he couldn't steal the treasure, but if he could undo the connection between the Ice Emperor and the treasure, was there still a glimmer of hope?
When the time comes, I will help the Ice Emperor regain his freedom, and in exchange for letting him leave the valley, and that treasure will also become his own bag, it will be a double win!
Thinking of this, Yi Xiao suddenly got up and quickly opened the team communication.
Although this idea is feasible, there is no way for him to decipher the connection between the Ice Emperor and the treasure, and the best way to do something like this is to ask a professional!
Soon, Mo Hua's voice came from the other side of the communication. "Yi Xiao, how is it?"
"I just exchanged information with the Ice Emperor, and it was trapped here because of that treasure, ...... in the first place," Yi Xiao recounted the incident completely. So, now as long as I can unravel the connection between the Ice Emperor and the treasure, I can leave here! ”
"You mean, you want me to help you figure out how to untie the dot?"
"yes, this is the only chance, or I might be stuck here for a year! If it were you, what could you think of? ”
Yi Xiao quietly waited for Mo Hua's reply, this was his last straw, even if there was little hope, he had to give it a try!
The other side of the communication was silent for a long time, and just when Yi Xiao was about to wait impatiently, Mo Hua's voice remembered again. "I thought of a possibility."
"What is it?"
"Do you remember when Yulian became a player?" Mo Hua asked rhetorically.
Hearing Mo Hua's words, the original scene came to Yi Xiao's mind.
Plundered the player qualification by herself, and then used [Plunder Transfer] to give the player qualification to Yu Lian, and finally helped her become a player. At that time, the moon god also appeared to stop it, but he suffered a loss in front of the phantom, and because of this incident, Yi Xiao and the moon god completely formed a bond.
It's just that Yi Xiao couldn't figure it out, Mo Hua suddenly mentioned this matter, does it have anything to do with the current situation?
Without waiting for Yi Xiao to ask, Mo Hua opened his mouth to explain: "At the beginning, the moon god said something that made me very concerned, she said that her contract was being rewritten!" ”
"You gave Yu Lian the player status, which conflicted with the contract of the Moon God, and finally helped Yu Lian get rid of the Moon God's control. Perhaps the Ice Emperor is not accepting a mission now, but a similar contract! ”
