Wang Baole's words were categorical and showed a sense of fearlessness, as if his life could be given up, but even if he died in this life, he would die standing up instead of living on his knees, so he could help the other party, but That's not because of threats, but because that's what he wants.
He is such a person who knows how to repay kindness and moves forward without hesitation, and his heart is full of sincerity.
Even as he talked, Wang Baole felt that he was like this, so his eyes became deeper and deeper, standing there like a green pine, staring at the paper man in front of him, and spoke lightly.
"Senior, please don't make any threats. Otherwise, wouldn't the junior's intention of repaying you become a result of greed for life and fear of death, leading to surrender?"
"So, senior, please take back those words!" Wang Baole looked displeased. When he said this, he flicked his sleeves and his face naturally showed some sullenness.
This made the paper man stunned for a moment.
Even though it had been observing Wang Baole for a long time along the way and had some understanding of his nature, it was still shocked for a moment by Wang Baole's words, and even instinctively showed respect on his face, but soon he felt that the other person's behavior seemed to be different from that of Wang Baole. There is some discrepancy with my own understanding.
But he had been following Wang Baole for a short time, so he couldn't judge. After being silent for a moment, he put down his thoughts and nodded towards Wang Baole.
"I made a mistake in what I said here. I will give an explanation for this matter in the future. Anyway... thank you fellow Taoist for your help!"
After hearing these words, Wang Baole's expression softened. He looked at the paper man, shook his head and sighed softly.
"That's all, the senior is also concerned about the common people. The junior can guess that what the senior needs the junior to do is most likely related to the safety of the Starfall Empire. What needs to be done by me, the senior can tell me when he thinks it is appropriate. Although I, Xie, am weak in cultivation, I still have a lot of blood to shed!
But now is not the time to talk about this. The junior also has something to ask the senior for help... Where is the magic crystal here? "Wang Baole looked solemn and spoke seriously.
As for the bottom of his heart, he was still very satisfied with his previous performance. After all, a senior official once said in his autobiography that mutual respect is the prerequisite for mutual cooperation to satisfy both parties!
For example, at the moment, Wang Baole feels that if he cooperates because he feels threatened, then he will be passive during the cooperation. It will be difficult to obtain additional benefits, but it is different now.
In fact, this is indeed the case. If Wang Baole doesn't agree to help, that's it. The paper man can still use some strong methods to force him. However, Wang Baole seems to be extremely sincere and seems to be sincerely helping him from the bottom of his heart. This makes the paper man unable to use force. After all, the other party is willing to help from the bottom of his heart, which perfectly meets its purpose.
If we continue to use force, it really makes no sense.
It's just that the relationship between them has changed from cooperation to help, and the taste has also changed unconsciously, which makes paper people feel a little confused deep in their hearts.
"How come it turned out like this after only a few words?" The paper man frowned slightly. Although he had felt that the other party had a lot of secrets before, but speaking from his heart, he only valued his background and origins and didn't care too much about himself. .
But now... it's different. The paper man who has reacted has realized that the foreign monk in front of him not only has a mysterious background and a good origin, but also has an excellent mind. This kind of person, even if his cultivation level is not high now, can be given As time goes by, there will probably be a place for this person in the future starry sky.
With such thoughts, the paper man took a deep look at Wang Baole. After pondering for a while, he simply changed his previous thoughts. Originally, he planned to reveal some clues so that the other party could finally find the Phantom Crystal. This was very important to him. Simple and no hassle at all.
But now, he felt that he might be more direct. After all... He didn't want to let the other party's sincerity cool down, so after looking at Wang Baole, the paper man spoke slowly.
"Little friend, I have some reasons that I can't tell you. It's not convenient for me to show up for too long, so most of the time, I won't show up. But I can use my own senses to help you find the location of the Phantom Crystal. , you have to get it yourself.”
When Wang Baole heard this, his eyes flashed brightly and he nodded immediately.
Reaching a consensus with Wang Baole, the paper man closed his eyes. There were obvious fluctuations and distortions outside his body, as if he was using a method that Wang Baole didn't understand to sense the entire fantasy star. It didn't take long, which was more than ten breaths, and then, The paper man's eyes opened, and he raised his right hand to gather a point of light, which he sent to Wang Baole.
"Feel this thing, there is a phantom crystal inside!"
"Thank you, senior!" Wang Baole looked excited. After a quick evaluation in his heart, he felt that the possibility of the other party harming him at this moment was unlikely, so he decisively took the light spot in front of him and swept it with his consciousness. Suddenly, there was a bang in his mind, and he condensed. Provided a guiding force.
He could clearly feel that there seemed to be a wave that was resonating with him at a location not too far away from here. So after clasping his fists towards the paper man, Wang Baole did not waste any time. He swayed his body and roared away at full speed in the direction guided by the resonance.
The speed was so fast that after an hour, Wang Baole had already arrived at the place where the resonance was. It looked like a basin with bare surroundings except for dozens of scattered shadows floating here.
These phantoms were unfamiliar to Wang Baole, and he knew that he was not the one who killed them, but should be the death projections from other geniuses, so he scanned them with his consciousness and once again confirmed that there were no other living people around, Wang Baole did not hesitate anymore and ran straight to the basin in a sway.
His movement immediately attracted the attention of those phantoms. Each one of them suddenly raised their heads, and the moment they looked at Wang Baole, they roared and rushed towards them like crazy.
It's just that most of these phantoms are Nascent Souls, and the strongest one is just a psychic. To Wang Baolin, their attack power is not as powerful as that of mosquitoes. They don't even need to look at it, they just sweep across with a roar, and the storm they set off is just like that. They were able to tear them apart completely without any hindrance, allowing Wang Baole to enter the depths of the basin in the blink of an eye.
A moment later, when he rushed out, he looked excited, holding a fist-sized white crystal in his hand.
This stone is crystal clear and seems to have some special power. If you look at it for a long time, you will have hallucinations.
It's... Phantom Crystal!
"Little friend, holding this object, you can find a place to hide. When this trial ends, you can use this crystal to enter the next trial and compete for the star-guiding drumstick!" The figure of the paper man, He transformed into Wang Baole and spoke slowly.
"Thank you, senior, for your help!" Wang Baole immediately clasped his fists after hearing this. This trial was originally very difficult, but now he experienced the joy of being the chosen one. It was so easy to obtain the phantom crystal, so he couldn't help but feel alive in his heart and blinked. After blinking, his expression was filled with gratitude, his eyes were burning, and he continued to speak.
"Senior, I wonder if you can take me to find all the other phantom crystals?"
"Found them all?" The paper man was a little surprised.
"It's possible, but it doesn't make any sense. For this trial, the number of people must be thirty, so that all the phantom crystals can be activated, and only one phantom crystal can be left on each person. Even if you Once you get them all, within a few hours at most, twenty-nine of them will automatically disappear and appear in their original positions."
"That's it..." Wang Baole was a little regretful when he heard this. He originally planned that if he could, he would have the right to decide this trial. When he met someone he liked, he would sell it to the other party at a cheaper price. In this way, Thirty phantom crystals are enough to make a huge fortune for yourself.
"I can still sell the location... But in this case, the price cannot be raised." Wang Baole sighed, feeling that it was too difficult to make money, and was about to give up the idea, but in the next moment, an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly looked towards The paper man suddenly spoke.
"Senior, I wonder if you have any way to leave some kind of seal on those phantom crystals so that when others get it, at the end of the trial, if they don't unlock the seal, they won't be able to enter the next level of the trial?"
