Chapter 75: Two Loopholes
Qin Shou: "I can't figure it out, why are you willing to be the guide of the Nether Ghost Fire? As a guide, you are the one closest to the Nether Ghost Fire, haven't you ever been greedy and want to occupy the Nether Ghost Fire? Or, have you never thought about leaving this dark place to see the outside world?"
Guide: "I am also thoughtful, yearning for beauty, of course I have thought about what you said, but," the guide smiled bitterly, and said abruptly: "As you can see, I am just a lonely ghost, without a body, and if you want to obtain the Nether Ghost Fire, you must have flesh and blood." As for escaping from here, it's even more impossible. ”
Qin Shou: "Why? Could it be that there are still people guarding you?"
Guide: "There is no one to guard me, and it is the Nether Ghost Fire that traps me!"
Qin Shou: "The Netherworld Ghost Fire has trapped you?"
The guide sighed and said slowly, "Once upon a time, like you, I was a person who took the risk to seize the Nether Ghost Fire, and I passed the test of the three levels and obtained the power of the Nether Ghost Fire. But as you know, since the Battle of the Ancient Gods, the Nether Fire has been battered and has fallen silent ever since, and even if I get it, the power I gain is very limited. So, I began to collect heavenly and earthly treasures from all over the Nine Realms to restore the power of the Netherworld Fire. ”
"In the beginning, I was just looking for some low-level Heavenly Materials and Earth Treasures, but as my strength became stronger and stronger, the need for Nether Ghost Fire became greater and greater, and I began to make a move on some top-level Heavenly Materials and Earth Treasures. ”
"But you know, the Nine Emperors have dominated the Nine Realms for many years, and most of the top heaven and earth treasures are controlled by them, and doing this is tantamount to taking food from the mouth of a tiger and fighting against the Nine Emperors. After three successes in a row, finally, my actions caught the attention of the Ghost Emperor and confronted him. ”
Qin Shou: "You lost?"
Guide: "That's right, I lost. Although the cultivation of the Ghost Emperor is still in the Emperor Realm, his strength has already surpassed that of ordinary Emperor Realm powerhouses, and the Netherworld Ghost Fire has not fully awakened, I am not his opponent at all, in that battle, I lost completely, and I didn't even have a chance to struggle. ”
Qin Shou: "So, it was the Ghost Emperor who sealed you here?"
The guide shook his head and said, "No, the Ghost Emperor just defeated me, and it was the Netherworld Ghost Fire that sealed me here. ”
Qin Shouqi said, "Isn't the Nether Ghost Fire already yours, how does it seal you?"
Guide: "The Nether Ghost Fire is the holy fire of the Ghost Realm, and it has its own subjective consciousness, how can a loser be allowed to become his master?" Therefore, after I was completely defeated by the Ghost Emperor, the Nether Ghost Fire turned back on me, devoured my body, and detained my soul here forever, becoming a guide, guiding all those who came to find the Nether Ghost Fire. ”
Qin Shou: "I see. ”
Guide: "Alright, I've said all that needs to be said, now you have a choice, do you choose to move forward?" or do you choose to go back?"
Qin Shou groaned, "You really don't have anything to say?"
Guide: "No, I've said everything I need to say, if you want me to show you how to pass this test, it's impossible, I'm just a guide, just a guide, I can't guide." ”
Qin Shou smiled: "That's it, that's presumptuous." ”
Guide: "Even without my guidance, I think you can pass the test, and the heir of the God of War is many times stronger than I was back then." ”
Qin Shou: "The seniors have all said this, if the juniors retreat like this, won't they live up to the expectations of the seniors?" Let me give it a try, how powerful is this Huangquan trial?"
Looking at Qin Shou's back, the guide showed a grim smile.
However, before his smile dissipated, a white light suddenly shot out, penetrating his body with lightning speed, and his smile instantly stiffened.
"Ahh
The guide let out a wail of pain.
It was too sudden, he never thought that Qin Shou would turn his back to him and suddenly attack, at such a close distance, Qin Shou was taken by surprise, he didn't have time to dodge at all.
The guide roared angrily: "Qin Shou, what are you doing?"
Qin Shou slowly turned around and looked at him with a smile, "Do you want to continue pretending?"
Guide: "What am I pretending?"
Qin Shou: "You are not a guide at all. ”
Guide: "Nonsense, I'm not a guide, so who am I?"
Qin Shou: "If I'm not mistaken, you should be the last master of the Nether Ghost Fire." ”
The guide said angrily: "This identity, I have already said it just now. ”
Qin Shou shook his head and said, "You still haven't understood my words, I mean, you are just the previous master of the Netherworld Ghost Fire, but you are not the guide." ”
Guide: "What do you mean by that?"
Qin Shou: "Although the story you just told is very beautiful and fascinating, I still found two fatal loopholes. ”
The guide's face turned cold, "Those two loopholes?"
Qin Shou: "The first loophole is that you have been locked up here for too long, isolated from the world, and don't know the news from the outside world. ”
Guide: "News from the outside world, what's going on in the outside world?"
Qin Shou: "Now the outside world has spread the news that the White Bone Lady awakens the Nether Ghost Fire. You just said that for tens of thousands of years, you are the only one who has passed the test of the three levels and become the master of the Nether Ghost Fire, so what happened to the White Bone Lady? If she did not pass the test of the three levels, how could she get close to the Nether Ghost Fire? If she did not get close to the Nether Ghost Fire, how could she awaken the Nether Ghost Fire?"
When the guide heard this, he was angry and said, "This stinky woman is bad for me. What does she want to do? What does she want to do by making this known to the whole world?"
As soon as such words are spoken, it is equivalent to indirectly admitting Qin Shou's speculation, this person is indeed not a guide.
"What about the second loophole?" he asked.
Qin Shou: "The second loophole is even more obvious, for tens of thousands of years, the people who came to Huangquan Cave to look for the Netherworld Ghost Fire, not to mention millions, there are seven or eight hundred thousand, aside from the people who died outside, there are at least 100,000 people who can reach here." ”
"100,000 people, such a huge number, but no one can go back alive. I don't believe they all died under the test of the three levels. ”
The guide interjected: "The three levels of the test set by the Netherworld Ghost Fire are as difficult as reaching the sky, not to mention only 100,000 people, even among the millions, they may not be able to find a single person to pass, what's so strange about all of them dying?"
Qin Shou shook his head and said, "Then isn't there a person who retreats from the battle and doesn't participate in the three-level test?"
The guide was speechless.
Qin Shou: "Whether you are timid or afraid of death, or have self-knowledge, I don't believe that no one in the 100,000 people flinched." It's just that why didn't the people who held back, the people who didn't take part in the trial, go back?
"Zizi Zizi......" the guide suddenly let out a solemn laugh, "Of course I killed you." ”
