Chapter Seventy-Eight: Consultation
"I wonder if you're interested in making a deal with us?"
"Of course." Yu Zhao couldn't ask for it.
There are a lot of good things in this underground village, such as the turquoise powder that cleans away blood-red moss, and it is expected that this powder will be of great use in the battle that follows.
The Great Elder sorted out his thoughts for a moment and glanced at Toba, who understood and walked out silently, standing at the door and looking out to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
Yu Zhao saw Toba's behavior, his eyebrows raised, and his eyes flashed.
This seems to be a bit overly careful, could it be that what is the next secret that cannot be known by others?
His mind couldn't help but think of Thorne's longing look as he inquired about the surface.
At this time, the Great Elder said, "You must have seen the strange eyeballs that appeared on the surface of the earth at night, right? ”
The three of them nodded, their memories of the eyeballs the size of human heads floating for no reason.
"What you don't know, however, is that this is just a clone of a monster, and there is a bigger ...... Eyeball. The Great Elder paused at this point, giving the three members of the team full time to understand.
Bigger eyeballs?
The three of them couldn't help but make up for it, the eyeballs the size of a human head were already terrifying and disgusting enough, or were they clones? And bigger eyeballs?
Zheng Xuan, as a girl, was the first to stand such a disgusting scene, shook her head, and tried to shake the picture in her mind.
"Our ancestors habitually called it the Eye of Cthulhu." The Great Elder said, "The ancestors didn't make it very clear about its origin, only that it seemed to be a product left over from the death of an ancient evil god. ”
At the same time, the light curtain pops up a prompt,
"Live Quest 2: Find the Underground Village to complete. Livestream Mission 3 opens: Kill the Eye of Cthulhu. ”
Yu Zhao quietly glanced at the prompt that popped up in the blindfold, and asked with a smile, "Then how do we find this Eye of Cthulhu?" ”
The Great Elder smiled a little desolately, "Don't look for it, it will take the initiative to find us when the time comes." ”
"So that's why you're hiding underground?" Yu Zhao thought all the way along the train of thought, and quickly strung together the clues he got.
"Not quite, but what we do know is that if we don't repel it in time after it appears, it will spawn a large number of clones, and those little eyeballs will follow the passage into the ground."
"But the underground passage is so complicated, you can escape." Yu Zhao asked rhetorically.
"You should have seen that blood-red moss...... the Great Elder said suddenly.
Yu Zhao was stunned, what does that eyeball have to do with this blood-red moss? Vaguely he already knew the truth.
"The eyeball comes to the underworld, and if it can't be cleaned up in time, it will become this moss after death, and then grow and spread wildly......
It pollutes the water and makes entire rivers, entire lakes undrinkable.
It corrupts living things, making them inedible and bloodthirsty, and even the most docile creatures will attack us.
It also erodes the land on which we grow, and all the plants that grow on it are strangely shaped......"
The Great Elder's eyes flashed with sorrow, "There is no way out for we have no way out, because every step we take means that our descendants will suffer one more hardship. ”
"So, what do we need to do?"
"Help us repel or even wreak havoc on it!"
"What do we get?"
"There's a lot of stuff in the village."
"We've got to find out."
"I heard you're interested in purifying powder?"
"I'm just curious about where it came from, after all, as you said, this powder can actually restrain the Eye of Cthulhu, so why not just sprinkle the purification powder on it?"
The Great Elder shook his head, "We've tried this method before, but the purification powder only works on its flesh and blood, and cannot break its shell, so the effect of purifying the powder is minimal. ”
"So, when will it appear?" Yu Zhao is most concerned about this issue.
So far, the main tone of this live broadcast is still unclear, or rather, the company does not seem to have set the main tone of this time at all.
It's clearly a guild battle between two guilds, but in the live broadcast, there is no confrontation task released, but it is like an ordinary live broadcast task, as if the two sides will fight when they meet, and if they can't meet it, they will do their own live broadcast tasks.
It stands to reason that it shouldn't......
But in the same way, Yu Zhao has doubts on the one hand, and on the other hand, he can only promote the development of the live broadcast task, although he doesn't know what the company's idea is, but it is always good to complete the live broadcast task as soon as possible, right?
"It will take a little time for it to appear, and we will help you find your companion as soon as possible." The Great Elder obviously misunderstood what Yu Zhao meant, "Don't you know what specific characteristics your companion has?" ”
Yu Zhao thought for a moment, "It's a woman, holding two daggers, her hair tied up, and she is wearing a black dress. ”
He was afraid that the Great Elder would misunderstand, so he hurriedly added: "If you meet other outsiders, don't come forward to say hello, they have an enmity against us and are chasing us." ”
The Great Elder frowned when he heard this, and immediately glanced at Yu Zhao with a smile.
Didn't you say it was a far-traveled traveler before?
Why are you being hunted down and killed again?
Besides, there seems to be a lot of them.
Yu Zhao was cheeky, smiled, and pretended that nothing happened.
If the Great Elder knew about this situation before the talks, he would definitely have to think about it again, but now, since they have already been negotiated, there is not much point in repenting.
After all, the key information was already known to them, so it was impossible to imprison Yu Zhao and them in the village, or simply kill them, right?
To be able to hold on until the arrival of the rescue team without purification powder, this strength alone, whether it is the Great Elder or Toba, must be carefully weighed.
It's not worth it to turn their faces with Yu Zhao for this little thing.
If Panshi Village is really not good, you can stay out of the matter and be a passerby.
Now that the general content has been determined, the rest are some trivial things, for example, Pei Hengwu jumped out at this time and asked to take a look at the collection in the village.
People who don't want to be a tool for praise are not good Voldemort.
There are some words that Yu Zhao can't speak, but he can say them for Yu Zhao.
However, the Great Elder had already completely shut up Yu Zhao and them by just putting one thing on the table.
"Life crystals, consumables. It is limited to one time, and after use, it increases the constitution attribute by one point, slightly increasing the physical strength and wound recovery speed. ”
Looking at the red heart-shaped gem that was only the size of a fist on the table, Yu Zhao really couldn't say a reason to refuse.
He gave too much!
Something that can permanently increase the basic attribute points, Yu Zhao has not seen a few so far.
Pei Hengwu and Zheng Xuan tried their best to control their eyes from drifting to this life gem, but how could this eye have its own thoughts, this life gem was like a magnet stone, which firmly attracted everyone's attention.
"Looks like you know what this gem is for?" The Great Elder smiled kindly, he had read countless people, and he had experienced many winds and waves, so he could naturally see Yu Zhao's attitude towards this gem.
"I've seen similar gems before, so I know a little bit about them." Of course, Yu Zhao couldn't tell the Great Elder that this was the result of the light curtain prompt, and he also asked rhetorically, "There are four of these gems?" ”
Toba said angrily, "There are indeed four pieces, but why should they be given to you?" ”
Yu Zhao took a deep breath to stabilize his mentality, and then said to the Great Elder, "I think our transaction can be modified a little. ”
"Which one to modify?"
"It's to repel or crush the Eye of Cthulhu."
Tuoba couldn't help it, and said sharply: "Why, don't think that without you, we in Panshi Village can't beat that big eye, you don't want to get an inch!" ”
Yu Zhao pretended not to hear Tuoba's words, looked at the Great Elder, and said, "How about changing the repulse to killing?" ”
At this moment, the Great Elder, who had always been able to maintain his calmness, finally changed his face! He asked, "Why do I believe you can kill that eye?" ”
Yu Zhao responded with a smile: "You don't need to believe it, it's just an agreement, and it's just an if." How about if it's just repulsion, it's business as usual, and we only take one of these gems? ”
The Great Elder pretended to think for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
This Life Gem is precious, but if it can be exchanged for the death of the Eye of Cthulhu, it will still be worth it.
If the kill is not successful, there is nothing to lose in the village.
Seeing that the Great Elder agreed, Yu Zhao also asked the village to increase its efforts to find Tao Yifei, clearly stating that this could enhance the combat effectiveness of the team before he could try to kill the Eye of Cthulhu.
After all, only by finding Tao Yifei can the Changfeng team have the strongest combat effectiveness.
This increases the chance of killing the Eye of Cthulhu. The Panshi Village will definitely do its best to find it, and if Tao Yifei's trace cannot be found in this way, Yu Zhao can only recognize it.
Everyone in the Changfeng team is wondering, what about Tao Yifei?
Where did Tao Yifei go?
Tao Yifei was still walking in the blood-red passage, and dozens of monster bodies had fallen behind her, horizontal and vertical, layer upon layer.
She looked unharmed, except that her hair was a little messy, but she didn't have time to fix her hair, and she continued to walk unhurriedly, the dagger stained with blood and slime left by the monster, and the hand holding the dagger trembled a little.
At this time, although she was able to break through the protection of the blood-red moss and hurt the monsters, after all, she was only one person now, and she couldn't get a break in time, not to mention, she had to deal with the attacks of the monsters one after another.
If it weren't for the fact that her strength had improved a lot, she wouldn't even be able to survive now.
However, she also knew that she couldn't hold on anymore, and if she couldn't get out of this seemingly endless blood-red passage, she would die here.
She was in a very calm mood now, not afraid of death at all, just thinking about something inconsequential.
The Swordsman once told her that as an assassin, he was a lone wolf, he must go alone, he could not take any chances, and he must always remember that the assassin has no teammates.
His words came after she had chosen the dagger.
Because he was her kind, she had always trusted him.
But when she joined the rookie squad, everything changed, or rather, some things weren't destined to change.
Growing up, she thought that after having a weapon and being able to hear the sound of the weapon, she was no longer afraid of loneliness.
However, it was only at this moment that she realized that perhaps it was all wishful thinking on her part, or self-deception.
How can people who really like solitude like the sound of weapons?
