Chapter 159: The Great King

Li Xiu turned to look at the demon spirit inside the crystal, it was still lying there, trapped in the crystal, and it didn't even open its eyelids.

"Human, don't doubt it, it's this king who is communicating with you, a low-level carbon-based creature like a human being, it's normal to not be able to understand this high-level way of communication, you don't have to feel inferior." The voice sounded in Li Xiu's mind again.

Li Xiu couldn't laugh or cry, where did this guy see that he had low self-esteem, where did this high sense of superiority come from.

"Human, your luck is coming, this king just needs a little brother, become the little brother of this king, and you will get supreme glory." The voice continued.

Li Xiu looked at the demon spirit in the crystal in a daze, and said secretly in his heart: "Are you so straight to liar people now?" There is no technical content at all. What kind of people did this guy come into contact with before, and he would be deceived into being a little brother like it, giving it such confidence? ”

"This ball is a little too straight, and it has been kicked into my arms, so you can turn a corner, even if it is a small one. Even if you can't perform miraculous abilities, at least pretend to be a little taller. What little brother, is this a lie? This is insulting my IQ, right? Even if you give a high-grade name, some kind of god spokesperson, demon spokesperson or something, if I am fooled, then it will be said in the past. If you do this, if I am fooled, doesn't it look like I'm stupid? ”

Seeing that Li Xiu hadn't spoken, the demon spirit seemed to have misunderstood something, and continued: "Human, you don't need to doubt it, you are so lucky to be favored by this king, but don't be happy too early, this is only temporary, whether you can really become the little brother of this king depends on your performance during the probation period." ”

"This demon is crazy, isn't it? wants to pit me as a younger brother, and there is a probation period, I have never encountered this kind of thing in my life. Li Xiu looked at the demon spirit in the crystal, and felt that the things he had encountered in his life were not as outrageous as today.

"Which, what shall I call you?" Li Xiu felt that this demon spirit seemed to have a bit of a problem with his brain, and he didn't look very smart, so he might be able to have a good chat with it.

"Remember, this king only said it once, this king's honorific title is the supreme Eight Desolations and Liuhe universe, the invincible and invincible king of the world." Although the demon was lying motionless, it was as if it had turned its face up to the sky.

"The supreme Eight Desolations and Liuhe universe are invincible, invincible and invincible in the world, what level of demon spirit are you?" Li Xiu felt that this demon spirit was quite interesting.

"Yes, yes, your little brother is not bad, not as stupid as those humans before, he can't even remember the honorific title of this king, and he still wants to be the little brother of this king, how can this king give them a chance. You are very good and can remember the honorific name of this king. The King of the World seemed to be very satisfied with Li Xiu's ability to remember his honorific title, and praised it again and again.

"But you don't need to know about the king's affairs, you just need to do your best to do the things that the king has assigned you, and you will naturally get the supreme glory." Said the king.

"I don't know what you want me to do?" Li Xiu asked.

"You go and bring back ten Radiant Demon Cores for this king first." The king didn't think about it, and blurted it out directly.

"I don't know how long this thing has been trapped in this underground, and every day I think about good things here, ten glorious demon cores, I don't know how many years it has been thinking about it." Li Xiu groaned and said: "The invincible King of the Supreme Eight Desolations and Liuhe Universe, your request is very reasonable, but you see that I am just a weak carbon-based creature, I am afraid that I am not capable of killing the Radiant Demon Spirit, how can I get ten Radiant Demon Cores?" ”

"What you said makes a lot of sense, a human being is such a weak creature, and it really doesn't have the ability to get the glorious magic core that this king needs." The King of the World seemed to be a little embarrassed, and after pondering for a while, he seemed to think of something, and said to Li Xiu with some excitement: "This king remembers, when this king came out of the gate of trials, he saw that there was a ruby mine nearby, you can dig the ruby mine and go to the Black Death City to trade and buy the Radiance Demon Core, and all the ruby mines should be exchanged for ten Radiant Demon Cores." ”

"You are the king of the Black Dead?" Li Xiu's heart moved.

If this guy really came out of the Black Dead City, that is, there should be a ruby mine near the City of Light, which is great news.

"Hmph, what is the king of the Black Dead City, this king is much stronger than him." The King of the World paused for a moment and said: "Now this king will give you the location of the ruby mine, you dig up all the rubies in the mine as soon as possible, and then take them to the Black Death City to exchange for the Radiance Demon Core." ”

Li Xian was wondering how the King of the World would tell him the location of the ruby mine, when he suddenly felt a map appear in his mind.

This map is like a three-D image, and it is like a mini sand table, where you can see mountains, rivers and forests.

The mountain in the center should be the stone mountain before the construction of the City of Light, and at some distance from the stone mountain, there is a red dot flashing, which should be the location marked by the King of the World with ruby mines.

Li Xiu roughly judged that the place where the red dot was flashing should be about ten miles northwest of the City of Light.

"I think it's all a rocky valley over there, but I haven't heard of anyone finding rubies over there. When the Red Sand City Lord opened the mountain and built the city here, he must have investigated the surrounding situation, and there was a ruby mine at such a close distance, could it not be discovered? Li Xiu was skeptical.

"As the temporary junior brother of this king, if you can handle this matter well, this king can consider promoting you to the official junior brother of this king." The voice of the King of the World sounded in Li Xiu's mind again.

"Don't worry, I'm going to take a look there, I hope that gem mine hasn't been discovered by anyone else." Li Xiu said this in his mouth, but he didn't move.

"Why don't you go soon?" Seeing that Li Xiu did not move, the King of the World asked suspiciously.

"I have a question, I wonder if you can answer it for me?" Li Xiu said with a deep groan.

"Say." The king of the world arrived very simply.

"If a weak human like me were to dig for a gem mine, it would definitely take a long time to dig up all the rubies, so why don't you come with me? With your great power, this saves a lot of time. Li Xiu wondered.

2k

"Idiot, what else do I want you to do if I can get out......" The King of the World seemed to realize that he seemed to have slipped his mouth, and the voice in Li Xiu's head immediately stopped abruptly.

"It turns out that you can't get out, so I have to dig it myself, although the digging is a little slower, but as long as there is enough time, I should still be able to dig out those rubies." Li Xiu said.

Seeing that Li Xiu didn't notice the loopholes in his words, the king of the world immediately said arrogantly: "It doesn't matter if it takes a long time, you just do your best, this king will never treat you badly, after the matter is completed, you will be the official little brother of this king, and this king will give you supreme glory." ”

"I'll do it." Li Xiu turned around and prepared to leave.

Since this thing can't get out at all, then ignore it, anyway, it's two thousand meters underground, and it can't affect the City of Light, and it shouldn't know anything about the City of Light.

If it knew that there was a city of light, the map that was transmitted to Li Xiu's mind would not still be a stone mountain.

And looking at the other scenes in the map, it is still slightly different from the current vicinity of the City of Light, it must be that it has been trapped here for an unknown amount of time, and it doesn't know the changes outside at all.

"Wait." Before Li Xiu left the underground space, he was stopped by the King of the World again.

"What else do you have to do?" Li Xiu turned to look at the King of the World and asked, but he was secretly thinking in his heart: "This guy is not afraid that I will not come back, and he wants to do some tricks, right?" ”

"You are a weak human being, in case you get into trouble outside, it doesn't matter if you die, it's not good to delay the king's big thing." The King of the World said with a deep groan.

Li Xiu found that he had overestimated the IQ of the King of the World, this guy was not an ordinary person, and his thinking could not be measured by human standards.

"Go down to the waterhole and see how many scales there are, take them out and take them with you, and when you encounter an enemy you can't defeat, throw the scales at your enemy, and it will work wonders." The King of the World was depressed for a while before he spoke.

Li Xiu had already guessed something when he heard its tone.

It is estimated that those scales are on its body, and I don't know who pulled it off, so of course it is embarrassed to say such a shameful thing.

Li Xiu came to the waterhole, looked at the coral-like plant and asked, "What is this plant?" ”

"Don't care what it is, don't touch it, grab the scales and hurry to the errand." King Gaishi hurriedly said.

Li Xiu immediately realized that this plant must be a good thing, otherwise the King of the World would not be so nervous.

The water in the waterhole is cold and cold, but Li Xiu has a magic suit to protect his body, and he has the talent of Ice Heart and the skill of Ice Ash, so he is naturally not afraid of the cold.

He jumped straight into the pool, causing a big splash.

"Be careful, don't damage the gem species." The king of the world cried out in a hurry.

Li Xiu immediately knew what kind of gem that thing was called, he came here on purpose, he didn't expect the King of the World to take the bait so easily.

He stayed away from the gem and dived as far as he could against the edge of the waterhole towards the depths of the pool.

The waterhole is not as deep as expected, about twenty or thirty meters deep, and coral-like gemstones connect the rocks at the bottom of the pool.

The rocks at the bottom of the pool were all gray-white, and Li Xiu originally thought that the scales on the body of the King of the World were so huge that they should be able to see it at a glance.

But after a careful search at the bottom of the lake, he found three palm-sized jade white scales, which made Li Xiu very suspicious, how could a big guy like the King of the World have such small scales.

"Could it be that I am mistaken, these scales are not from the King of the World, so whose scales are they?" Li Xiu searched carefully again, and there were only these three scales, and there was nothing else, so he slowly surfaced out of the pool.

"Aren't these three scales?" Li Xiu took the scales and asked the king of the world.

"Yes, it's them, if you're in danger in the future, you can just smash it at the enemy." Said the king.

"Do you need to smash it on the enemy? Will it explode? Li Xiu carefully inquired about the role of the scales.

"No, it won't explode, you can do what this king says, don't talk so much nonsense, go dig up rubies." The king urged again and again.

Li Xiu had no choice but to leave the underground space with three jade scales, and after they came out, Sha Chu and they were still guarding the entrance of the cave.

"What's next?" Chu Jun hurriedly asked.

"Those two workers are dead, there is no need to go down to look for them, there are very dangerous demons down there, no one is allowed to go down without my orders." After Li Xiu finished speaking, he looked at Sha Chu and continued: "For the workers who were killed, double the compensation for their families. Make me a gate over this hole, the stronger the better, and then change the blueprint, and mark out this small area separately, and let me build it according to the standards of the vault, and no one is to come near it without my orders. You must follow up on this matter yourself, and you must not let anyone go down into the cave again, lest the demons inside be released by them. ”

Now that Sha Chu has money on hand, he didn't talk so much nonsense to Li Xiu, so he answered and called someone to do something.

"What kind of demon spirit is down there, is it really so terrifying, even you can't figure it out? There is such a demon spirit below, will it have an impact on our City of Light? Chu Jun asked in some surprise.

"I really can't figure it out, I've never seen such a demon spirit when I've grown so big." Li Xiu was telling the truth, he really hadn't seen such two demon spirits.

"As for the impact on the City of Light, it shouldn't have any impact for the time being, and I'll find a way to fix it." Li Xiu didn't want to kill the king of the world yet.

First, because he didn't know what level of demon spirit the king of the world was, it would be difficult to solve it if it was a super spirit, and he didn't want to act rashly until Ximen Guan didn't create his new demon disguise.

Second, the king of the world should not be harmful now, maybe he can still get some benefits from it, and he will not be in a hurry to move it.

Li Xiu took the three jade scales to Ximen Guan, wanting Ximen Guan to help him see what kind of scales on the demon spirit's body this was.

Ximen Guan took the scales and studied them for a long time, but he didn't come up with a reason, he only knew that it was the scales on the demon spirit, and as for what kind of demon spirit it was, Ximen Guan couldn't figure it out.

He just told Li Xiu that after instrument testing, it was found that these three jade scales contained very strong energy, but this energy was very strange, strong for a while and weak for a while, and very unstable.

Such unstable materials are not suitable for the manufacture of magic costumes, so Ximen Guan has no interest in them, and directly returns them to Li Xiu.

Li Xiu described the appearance of the demon spirit and the appearance of the gem species, but the Ximen official had never heard of it, so he had to give up.

"If you have a chance, let's ask the old knife." Li Xiu put away the scales and called Chu Jun and A Bandit to go out together.

This time he didn't bring Qin Shi, nor did he call the Ye family brothers and sisters, that was because only the people he trusted the most could participate in what he was going to do this time, and he was going to find the ruby mine mentioned by the King of the World.

If there is really a ruby mine, the problem of money will be solved in the future, even if it is not a big bonanza, it should be more than enough to feed a few demon spirits.

If the reserves of rubies are large enough and the quality is good enough, they can also use the surplus to buy some instruments and equipment for Ximen Guan, so that he can make stronger magic clothes.

"What are you bringing us here for?" Chu Jun looked at the sparsely planted valley and asked with some doubts.

"Dig for gems." Li Xiu looked at the valley and said, "Haven't you been in the gem business before, you should know something about gem veins, right?" Let's see if there will be ruby mines in this valley. ”

"I'm in the finished gemstone business, and I don't even handle rough stones, which is fundamentally different from prospecting, so how do I know if there is a ruby mine here?" Chu Jun also looked at the valley and asked, "Who did you listen to that there is a ruby mine here?" ”

"I listened to the demons down there." There are no outsiders here, Li Xiu told him about meeting the King of the World under the cave, and the two of them were stunned, they had never seen this kind of demonic spirit.

Not to mention having seen it, I have never even heard of it.

"And such a strange demon?" Chu Jun said with a strange expression.

"Regardless of whether it's strange or not, how can we now know if there is a ruby mine under this valley?" Li Xiu said.

"If there is really a ruby mine, we must not leak the slightest rumor, this belongs to the area between Guyue City and Hongsha City, if they know about it, they will definitely come to rob it......" Chu Jun groaned and said: "Otherwise, anyway, it has been determined that the gem mine is in the valley, let's find a few places to dig down, it's a big deal to dig a few more holes, there are really gem ore veins, and you will definitely be able to dig the rough stone, it's a big deal and it's a waste of time." ”

Li Xiu had no other way, there was no prospector around them, they didn't even have a trustworthy gem hunter, and they didn't feel at ease when they were looking for outsiders, and they couldn't do that kind of thing, so they could only dig by themselves.

Fortunately, they all have demons in their bodies, and let them serve as free labor, so they don't have to do their own coolies.

As a result, those demon spirits have become coolies digging pits, and if the other trialists see that a few of them use the bright demon spirits as miners, they will definitely scold them for destroying the heavens.

Fortunately, the strength of the demon spirit is much greater than that of ordinary people, and its hands are more powerful than shovels, and it can dig holes quite quickly.

The valley is full of stones, and the dirt on the ground is mixed with a large number of stones, which is really difficult for ordinary people to dig.

However, several demon spirits dug several deep pits separately, and the stones dug up were almost piled up into small hills, and no rough stones were found.

"Li Xiu, we shouldn't have been deceived by that demonic spirit, right? If there really is a ruby mine here, we should be able to dig up some rough stones after digging for so long. Chu Jun said while looking at the stones.

"Could it be that the king is pretending to be stupid? That's kind of acting is too good, and you can win the Oscar before. Li Xiu was also a little skeptical, whether he had fallen for the king of the world.

"Strange, what is this?" Just when the two of them were suspicious, the bandits, who were directing the demon spirits to dig a pit in the distance, suddenly waved and shouted at them.

Both of them thought that the bandit had dug up the rough stone, and hurriedly ran over.
