As the goblin merchant spoke, Lu Tianjing knew that the pre-plot of the mission was about to appear.

So he also fell silent and began to listen intently to what the other party had to say.

In the goblin merchant's account, he quickly figured out what had happened.

In the past, he also had a pet beast called "Mao Mao".

In the mouth of the goblin merchant, the pet beast was petite and cute, with soft orange hair and an extremely gentle cry.

For so many years, he has been dependent on this pet beast, and he has long regarded each other as close friends and even relatives.

It's just one day...... But bad luck struck suddenly.

There is a team of adventurers who found the rumored clue of the [Tower of the Four Gods] from an ancient book, and groped for it from outside the [Sea of Gravel].

The adventure party was extremely well prepared, they prepared twelve [Desert Gems] and opened one of the altar entrances!

However, after the entrance to the altar opened, the team was in a state of hesitation.

Because they didn't know what would be on the other side of the entrance, maybe what was waiting for them would be a strange beast covered in scales and armor and claws enough to break gold and crack stones, or maybe it would be a trap that could kill people invisibly......

The squad has a disagreement and gets into a fight!

But soon, everyone's opinion was agreed again!

has reached this point, that is, life and death, wealth is in the sky!

The so-called adventurer is the business of pinning his head to the waistband of his trousers.

It's just that before you enter the altar, you have to be fully prepared!

So, at that time, the group of adventurers forcibly seized the pet beast raised by the little goblins, and wanted to use it as a tool for pathfinding!

If he hadn't escaped fast enough at that time, I'm afraid that even he himself would have been captured by that group of adventurers who had no bottom line.

After that, the little goblin waited before the altar, but ...... The team of adventurers never teleported out of the altar again.

And his pet beast Mao Mao has also disappeared, and life and death have always been uncertain.

Later, the little goblin grew into the goblin merchant he is today, but he still can't let go of the obsession in his heart, and has been wandering near the altar, silently waiting for the miracle to happen.

…………

After telling his story, the goblin merchant's eyes had already flashed with tears.

"The reason why I've been collecting [Desert Gems] is because I want to enter the altar."

"But I'm too cowardly, and I haven't had the courage to open the altar for so many years."

"What's more...... Even if I entered the altar and found Mao Mao inside, I didn't know how to face him. ”

"After all, I was too cowardly back then, so I chose to abandon it and run away alone......"

The goblin merchant's tone grew deeper and lower, and there was obviously a hint of self-reproach in his words.

"It's okay, you were so weak back then, you shouldn't be blamed for this incident, it's that adventure team is too domineering and arrogant."

Looking at the tearful goblin merchant in front of him, Lu Tianjing only felt speechless for a while, but for the sake of his hidden task, he still chose to lean down and patiently comforted the other party.

"You're right, I shouldn't be blamed for that incident, it's all about those damn adventurers!"

"If it weren't for them, how could Mao Mao and I be separated!"

The goblin merchant instantly wiped away the tears from his eyes, shook his fist suddenly, and scolded with great excitement!!

Lu Tianjing: "??? ”

What about your guilt?

What about your self-blame?!

I'm just casually comforting you, why are you climbing up the pole so easily?!

You're a little too fast to shake the pot, hey!!

"Adventurer, your words have touched me deeply!"

"You're right, pet beasts should be our companions, not a commodity!"

"Back then, I really shouldn't have sold Mao Mao for two bags of jerky...... Ah no, I really shouldn't have given up Maomao's life and death for the sake of my own safety!! ”

Lu Tianjing: "??? ”

Big brother, why are you still leaking your mouth?!

Did you co-author all the previous stories you made up?!

Two bags of jerky and you sold other people's hair?!

Maomao, you died so miserably......

"Adventurer, promise me that you will definitely get my Mao Mao back!"

The goblin merchant patted Lu Tianjing's shoulder heavily and said solemnly.

"Huh...... I will. ”

Lu Tianjing's face was complicated, and he finally accepted this fucking hidden task.

If it weren't for the fact that the reward was too rich, he would have wanted to smash the goblin in front of him with one punch......

…………

Sea of Gravel, at the altar.

"Do you want to activate the altar?" Qing Lan walked around the altar, looked at the twelve grooves on the altar, and said thoughtfully: "If you put all the [Desert Gems] in it, you should be able to successfully open the altar, right?" ”

"Will there be a precedence or something?" Chen Yin touched his chin and asked.

"Since the black stone tablet is not specially displayed, it means that there should be no taboos."

As he spoke, Luo Ji had already leaned down and placed the [Desert Gem] in his hand into the groove!!

"Don't be stunned, take a hand."

Everyone reacted one after another, and successively carved the gems in their hands into the grooves, and in less than half a minute, all the gems had been placed!

Countless yellow-brown desert energy, like a stream from the inside of the gem, flowed out along the lines on the altar, as if a mysterious formation had been lit up!!

The twelve lines are connected into a complete pattern, like a long dragon looming and flying among the clouds.

The light is getting more and more abundant, and the altar seems to have been completely activated!!

"Boom—"

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the altar twisted and spun like a gear.

"Is this going to be a spatial teleportation......

Chen Yin looked stunned and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Stop talking nonsense, come in quickly!"

Everyone stood in the center of the altar, and Lu Tianjing stretched out his hand and pulled Chen Yin, who was still on the periphery of the altar, in.

In the next second, a streamer of light rose into the sky, and everyone's figures disappeared in place in an instant......

The gentle wind, mixed with the yellow gravel, fluttered on the empty altar, and Lu Tianjing and the others, as if they had never existed, used the altar as a medium to teleport to another mysterious space.
