There are large tracts of barren land in the ruined city, dilapidated buildings are ghostly, and the continuous ruins are like garbage mountains one after another, and the old Belen and Tianxian are now in a fairly open ground, and the surrounding areas are empty, all of them are collapsed and damaged ruins, and there are crooked black buildings hidden in the sea fog in the distance.

The two of them sat on the ground with a boxed lunch, if there was a carpet or something, and the meal was a little more sumptuous, it would be more like an outing picnic.

"Would you like some seafood?" asked Old Belen as he looked at his squid rings and asked insincerely.

Tian Xian looked at the lunch box that was tightly held in Lao Belun's hand, and shook his head, "No need, I will have diarrhea after eating seafood." ”

"Ah, young people should pay more attention to their bodies, and at our age it is a little late. Old Belen was relieved.

After taking a sip of rice, Tian Xian couldn't help but look at the surrounding environment, "Why doesn't Ivan control this place? Speaking of which, there are no powerful characters here, it should be easy to install eyeliner." ”

Old Belen smiled mysteriously, "Young man, you are wrong, although there are no powerful characters here, but it is much more chaotic than the main city, the main city is dominated by wealth, even the peerless powerhouse is affected by wealth, but here, survival is the theme, criminals, outcasts, stowaways...... They will not be polite to you, nor will they respect you for wealth, and man is closer to a beast in a place where no food is produced and no warm house is slept. ”

Flipping the lunch box in his hand, Old Belen said funny: "This lunch box, you can buy a life here, the reason why we haven't been attacked yet, is because I am already a regular customer here, there were people who came to snatch sweet potatoes before, and they paid honestly after I killed them." ”

Tian Xian glanced at the building in the distance, and several people had been following him since the beginning, and they hadn't left until now.

"Don't worry about them, they'll leave when we're done. Old Belen was still eating slowly, very relaxed.

"You seem to love this place and feel a lot more relaxed when you get here. ”

"Yes, it is barren and savage, but there is not so much intrigues, no disgusting business calculations, and most importantly, no bastard Ivan. Old Belen replied casually.

Tian Xian thought for a moment, "You haven't said why Ivan didn't control here." ”

Old Belen lifted his head buried in the lunch box and suddenly laughed: "Stupid boy, those people don't sell them sweet potatoes at a low price, and it's a chore to hide their tracks and blend in here. ”

Raising his eyebrows, Old Belen smiled maliciously, "There are very few people who are willing to do this errand, and how can they escape my eyes, as long as I reveal a little bit of information, there will immediately be hordes of people chasing and killing those poor insects, the people here want to return to the main city, and at the same time hate and are hostile to the people who live a good life in the main city, since someone sent it to the door, then there is no reason not to kill, and the things on those people are very valuable." ”

Over time, Ivan gave up, and this is not a place to be monitored anyway. ”

"Don't survivors need to be monitored either?"

"Survivors are bound by oaths, so they don't need to ......be monitored at all," Old Belen sighed, and then a smile quickly appeared on his face, "Ivan originally thought so, hahahahaha......"

Tianxian was full of doubts.

Old Belen quickly licked his lunch box clean, and then found a lunch box, which was a gorgeous feast.

Tian Xian looked at the rice and pickle soup in his hand, and his face darkened.

"Haha, young people don't get angry so easily, I also prepared lunch for you, but young people need to eat more staple foods to have the strength, this one is for you!"

Tian Xian didn't understand how old Belen's thin dirty clothes were hidden under such four big lunch boxes, so he took it and opened it to take a look, this time he was also a hearty lunch, with fresh seafood, vegetables, meat and eggs, a lot of the same.

"Okay, let's get down to business!" Old Belen looked at the lunch box with a full index finger on his face.

This old man...... It must be a foodie! Look at the first big lunch box, which is enough for two people.

"Boy, guess first, why is Ivan so relieved that we are bound by oath?"

Tian Xian shrugged, "I don't know the specifics, but since it is an oath made in front of the gods, it naturally has the absolute binding force of the god level." ”

"That's one thing, and the more important thing you haven't guessed yet. ”

Tian Xian couldn't help but wonder a little, what could be more reliable than the power of the gods?

With a blink of his eyes, Tian Xian suddenly understood, and couldn't help blurting out: "He tampered with the oath!"

Old Belen gulped his mouth, chewed comfortably, and then nodded, "Yes, what Ivan relied on most was that he tampered with the contract, trampled all the remaining survivors under his feet, and turned it into the nourishment of his strength and wisdom, and this extremely unequal oath was also protected by divine power, so he had nothing to fear." ”

"But...... It doesn't seem to be like that. ”

Old Belen grinned and laughed extremely happily, "Of course, of course it is not what he thinks, if that is the case, we will never turn over, until the oil runs out and dies, it is just his survival food." ”

"It is true that he has gained unprecedented strength and wisdom from the other chosen ones by tampering with the oath, but he is not a god after all, and the oath made through divine power is not something he can control, because of the intervention of man, there are many cracks in this oath, which we all did not realize at the time, but now it is very obvious. ”

"That is, you ...... In fact, you are no longer bound by the oath to a certain extent!" Tianxian looked at Old Belen with some surprise.

Old Belen bit off a vegetable fiercely, word by word: "Not bad!"

With a bit of murderous aura on his face, Old Belen's voice turned cold, "For more than a hundred years, he has brutally oppressed us, plundered our lives and spirits, we are all aging rapidly, and we can only rely on the strength we have obtained to support us, I may be the best one among the survivors, because I am good at energy formations, I often hide in my specially designed energy arrays to keep my life and spirit stable, and at the same time, because I am in the city, right in front of Ivan's eyes, his squeezing of me has also slowed down." ”

"In recent years, I have clearly felt that the pressure from Ivan has been reduced, and after careful study, I have found that he has not stopped squeezing us, but has intensified, but the effect seems to be getting worse and worse. ”

As he spoke, Old Belen raised his fork and said as if he were a declaration of victory, "So once again, I went to see him secretly. ”

Tian Xian was stunned, "Secretly...... Taken a look?"

Old Belen smiled slyly, "Of course, boy! Don't you forget, Ivan is also a survivor! We can't meet each other directly, this is one of the oath bonds, we can't communicate with each other, let alone meet." ”

Only then did Tian Xian remember that the Great Lord Ivan was also a survivor of the White Water Pool, because he had always been the opposite of the survivors of the old Belen, and he was the Great Lord, and this matter had been ignored.

"I saw it! and...... Not dead!" said old Belen, laughing so happily.

"Will you die if you look at it?"

Old Belen looked at Tianxian seriously, "Yes, young man, the content of the oath is like this, we can't communicate with each other, we can't spread what we see and hear in the white pool, maybe the god doesn't allow us to collude with each other to find a way to resist the oath, I have to say...... This trick is still very effective, a person is lonely and keeps the oath of enslavement, and the first thing that comes to mind when he wants to rebel is someone who is in the same situation as himself, and the result is ...... But he can't communicate, and even a glance at it will be countered by the oath. ”

"When I returned, I fell ill, and the power of the Oath nearly killed me, but I survived. Belen Sr. said like a victor after a great war.

"From that moment on, I knew that the power of the oath was weakening, and it was going to get weaker and weaker. ”

"But it's not completely ineffective. ”

"Yes!" said old Belen, who continued to eat with his head down, "so you should find that every time I go to your house, the wild dog tries to hide as much as he can, lest he see me." ”

In retrospect, it is true that the swordsmen avoided seeing Old Belen.

"I do remember that Sovatha is ...... now"

"He's getting old, he's getting old...... he's getting old," said the old man of course.

Tian Xian nodded.

This shows that the power of the oath has weakened to a critical point. ”

Old Belun said to Tianxian with a serious face: "At the beginning, Ivan tampered with the oath, resulting in us not getting the power in the oath normally, that wild dog is the most unlucky one, not only did he not get the power he deserved, but his mind was also affected. ”

Tian Xian couldn't help but think of something, frowned and asked, "Then he said that he used to enter the white water pool with a friend, and then ...... His friend died inside, and this time he wanted to save him, and his abilities also saw a picture of his success. ”

"Really...... He put it this way...... "Old Belen's reaction was much more bland than Tianxian expected, he just bowed his head to eat, and answered casually.

"I think that after he got older, his strength seemed to have improved, and his mind was much clearer, but he didn't mention it again, but he didn't change his mind, and he still had to go to the White Water Pool. ”

Old Belen nodded, and suddenly fell silent.

Tian Xian wondered, "Does he have any other secrets?"

After a long period of silence, old Belen said: "I don't know, most of us survivors were strangers at the beginning, and then separated, and I don't know much about him. ”

Tianxian felt that these words seemed to be a little insincere, and the old man was still chewing and swallowing, but he seemed absent-minded.

I wanted to ask about the changes that the swordsman only began to change after the Great Lord Ivan launched a city-wide search, but Tian Xian thought about it and changed the topic directly, "Then since the power of the oath has been loosened, it seems that uniting other survivors is the best choice, except for a few of you, where are the other survivors?"

Old Belen shook his head directly, "I don't know, only Ivan knows this, he used the oath to trample us under his feet, and he seemed to be afraid that we would unite against him, so a few people were driven away directly, and I didn't hear from them anymore after that, but it should still be in this star field, if it's too far away, I'm afraid Ivan won't be able to absorb their lives and spirits." ”

"Oh......"

Tianxian thought about it and asked curiously, "So...... There doesn't seem to be anything incomprehensible or unbelievable about this, but what exactly do you mean by what you started talking about?"

Old Belen was eating his favorite seafood, and without raising his head, he asked in a muffled voice, "Have you ever thought of disobeying the gods?"

Tianxian couldn't help but be excited, and said in amazement: "What did you say?"

"As a weak human being, no matter what kind of adventures and opportunities you have, you can't compare with the great gods, that is the distance across the world level, but even so, have you ever thought about disobeying the gods?"

Tianxian's face tensed slightly, thinking that the reason why I am here is not for this!But this kind of thing is in this chaotic space full of gods and Buddhas, although it is a human star field where birds don't, it seems that it is better not to say it casually, there is a god in the white water pool not far away!

"No, most people don't think so, after all, even if you haven't seen it, you still understand the greatness and irresistibility of the gods. Old Belen raised his head and burped comfortably, "It's still comfortable to eat here, and there is a smell of Ivan everywhere in the main city." ”

Tian Xian took a breath slowly, and said solemnly: "Old man, you are still cautious in your words and deeds, speaking of which, you are still a person who has received the favor of the gods." ”

"yes...... But, it seems to give me more pain. Old Belen wiped his mouth and threw away the empty lunch box, "I have lived for a hundred years, and I have endured inhuman suffering for more than a hundred years, and sometimes I even wonder if I am still human." ”

Looking at Tianxian, Old Belen suddenly asked: "Boy, haven't you ever thought about whether you are still a human being?" ”

"There is no doubt that I am a normal human being. Tian Xian replied quickly.

"Hehe, it seems that I did think about it, ah...... But generally speaking, those who think seriously about this problem can no longer be regarded as a real human being. Standing up, old Belen stretched.

"What the hell do you want to say?" Tian Xian asked in a deep voice as he put down his lunch box.

"It's nothing, boy...... said old Belen with a smile, "but I intend to deceive the gods for once, as Ivan did." ”

The day is idle.

"This time, it's different from Ivan...... It's a naked deception and exploitation, and the god will definitely not like it, and things are difficult, so ...... I want to pull you in. ”

Do you want me to go with you to find death?" thought to himself.

Turning around, Old Belen showed a kind smile and narrowed his small eyes, "I have a gut feeling, you will definitely agree." ”

Tian Xianpi smiled and didn't smile, "You don't want to pull me to pad my back, do you?"
