Chapter 107: The Old Man
"I'm ......" Qi Xia took a step back, only to find that this scene was familiar.
"I'm losing!"
Qiao Jiajin was also taken aback, the two of them had obviously been here for less than a minute just now, where did this old man come from?
Why did he stand quietly behind Qi Xia?
"Young man, Tianlong really can't be provoked!" The old man showed his only remaining tooth, stretched out his withered arm and grabbed Qi Xia, "Bet your life...... Even if you gamble on your life, you may not be able to do it......"
Qiao Jiajin was about to step forward to stop him, but Qi Xia pulled him back.
"Wait, I'd like to talk to him."
He pulled Qiao Jiajin aside, and also reached out to grab the old man.
The two held each other's arms like two friends they hadn't seen in a long time.
"Old man, do you know me?" Qi Xia asked.
The old man was slightly stunned when he heard this, and almost burst into tears.
He grabbed Qi Xia's hand and kept pushing hard, making Qi Xia feel painful.
"Would you like to talk to me...... That's great...... I can wait...... old man said tremblingly, "even if everything starts all over again, I can wait...... You can destroy this hellish place and free all of us right away......"
The old man looked quite crazy, and Qi Xia could only follow his words and ask.
"Liberate everyone?" Qi Xia asked, "What does 'liberation' mean?" ”
"We're stuck here!!" The old man wailed, "Someone lied...... Someone told a big lie!! He played it all the time!! ”
"Old man, calm down first." Qi Xia let go of the old man's hand and grabbed him by the shoulder, trying to stabilize his emotions, "Who played us?" What lie did he tell? ”
"Yes......"
The old man was just about to speak, when a muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.
Qi Xia heard thunder for the first time here, and he suddenly raised his head, only to find that there was not even a single cloud in the sky.
If there are no clouds, how can there be thunder?
"I can't say......" the old man lowered his head in horror, his voice became very quiet, "I will die if I say it......"
Will it die?
"Okay, let's change the question." Qi Xia continued, "You said we were trapped here, what do you mean?" ”
The old man raised his head, his face was frightened, but his tone was serious, and he said, "Young man, no one can get out...... I can't get out even if I'm dead...... Life and death, death and life ......"
"Why can't you get out?" Qi Xia asked, "Even if we collect enough Dao, we still can't get out?" ”
"The Way?" The old man was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and stared at Qi Xia suspiciously, and asked, "What is the Dao?" ”
What is the Tao?
Qi Xia never thought that the old man would ask this question.
He kept shouting for Qi Xia to "gamble on his life", but he didn't know what "Dao" was?
"Dao" is ......" Qi Xia touched his pocket and found that he did not have a "Dao" on his body, and the four that Renlong gave him before were all on Officer Li.
So he could only describe the shape of the Dao, and said, "It's just a small yellow-white ball, the size of a walnut, and it shines." That thing is the "chip" we use to participate in the game, and it is said that if we collect 3,600 of them, we can get out. ”
"Three thousand...... 600 "Dao"? The old man's eyes gradually became puzzled, "I see...... Even though the place had become such a terrible appearance, he still remembered what his master said......"
"Master?" Qi Xia was stunned for a moment, "Who is the 'master'?" ”
"I can't say." The old man replied categorically, "The question you ask me here will kill me." ”
Qi Xia felt that the identity of the old man in front of him was extraordinary.
He definitely kept the memories of his past.
He probably has a longer memory than anyone else, and maybe he can be of great help at a critical moment.
"Old man, do you want to come with me?" Qi Xia asked again, "We have something to eat there, are you hungry?" ”
The old man looked skinny, and the skin on his face was full of cracked wrinkles like the bark of a dead tree, and he probably hadn't eaten in a long time.
"Eat...... Don't be silly, I don't need to eat at all. The old man's face darkened, and he looked very disappointed, "You actually invited me to eat...... What a joke......"
"Don't need to eat?"
Qi Xia thought about it carefully, and knew that what the old man said was not unreasonable, even if they starved to death in the "Final Land", it didn't matter, naturally they didn't need to eat.
Qiao Jiajin looked at the old man for a long time and sighed helplessly.
"Liar, he's obviously a madman, can you talk for so long?"
Before Qi Xia could reply, the old man looked at Qiao Jiajin.
He approached Qiao Jiajin step by step, forcing him to retreat.
"Hey, hey, hey......" Qiao Jiajin was obviously a little flustered, "I don't beat the old and the young and women, don't mess around......"
The old man ignored Qiao Jiajin and grabbed the other party's wrist.
"You ......" Qiao Jiajin pulled his hand back, but he couldn't move at all, "I'm ...... What kind of strength do you have? Do you practice your family? ”
"Qiao Jiajin...... "The old man grabbed his hand and said slowly, "Why don't you remember me?" Qi Xia remembers, but you don't know me? ”
Qi Xia slowly narrowed his eyes, this old man really knew them.
"Huh?" Qiao Jiajin was stunned, he had never dealt with a madman in his life, and he looked very nervous, "I want to know you?" Are you tied to the edge? ”
The old man didn't speak, grabbed Qiao Jiajin's wrist and was silent for a long time, and nodded thoughtfully: "I see...... The last time you died before the Echoes......"
"What is the echo, echo ......" Qiao Jiajin said a little unceremoniously, "You make my head buzz now, if I don't let go, I'm really going to beat someone!" ”
The old man let go of his hand suddenly, and Qiao Jiajin suddenly lost his strength and took a step back.
"You have to protect Qi Xia." The old man said slowly, "If we want to liberate everyone, we still need to rely on your strength. ”
After the old man finished speaking, he fell silent, and slowly lowered his head thoughtfully.
Qi Xia took a step forward and said, "Old man, are you really not going back with us?" I still have a lot more to ask you. ”
"Nope." The old man nodded, "You don't need to look for me, you just need to wait for me to come to you." ”
"This ......" Qi Xia looked at him with some embarrassment, this old man seemed to have some big secret hidden in his heart, this secret made him look pained, "Okay, can I know your name?" ”
The old man took a few steps back and said, "I don't have a name, but here, they all call me 'White Tiger'. ”
As soon as the words fell, the old man's body suddenly floated, and then disappeared in the air.
He neither flew away like a martial arts movie, nor did he use a spell like a fantasy movie, and the whole person just disappeared in the air.
