After Guatu obediently retreated to the corner and stopped talking, everyone in the conch house finally got to the point again.
"Since you mentioned the dry-skinned people who attacked us, you must know something about it?" the elder of the frogman tribe asked Vera with bulging eyes.
"Those humans who attacked you are bandits from the 'Secret Eyes'. They found a relatively safe waterway, so they plan to take this tidal flat for their own use and transform it into a port for smuggling activities in the Western Continent."
Anyway, it’s not important information. In order to show her sincerity, Vera told the elder of the Frogmen tribe the identity of the enemy: “And we are adventurers from a small town outside the Valley of the Dead, and we just have some troubles with the Secret Eye Society.” , so it can help you fight against the Secret Eye Society."
"It's not like you dry skinned people are so kind."
The elder of the Frogmen didn't rush to agree or refuse. It seemed that they had a good understanding of human nature, and they didn't believe that Vera and the others would put life and death aside just for "some festivals" and help their own race against their own race.
Indeed, in this era of undeveloped people's wisdom, there are very few human beings who have an overall view. They often care about their immediate interests most. Therefore, many demihumans have the impression of human beings as a "selfish and greedy" race.
After all, this is a world guided by gods. Let alone the gods who jump out of the three realms and are not in the five elements, whether it is the pope and other religious leaders at the top of the pyramid, or the royal families of various empires, they do not want the people below If there are any abnormal thoughts, which will affect their own rule, they will naturally implement the policy of obscuring the people in a tacit understanding, and further block the wisdom of the people.
This is why this world obviously has supernatural powers such as magic and divine arts, and the conditions for the development of civilization are much better than that of the earth, but after so many years of development, it still stays in this ignorant age.
When Vera was thinking about how to use words to win the other party's trust, Joe, who sat cross-legged until his feet were a little numb, shouted dissatisfied: "Don't mess with those useless things, just tell us what you need to do to trust us, and you will die to show your ambition." Roar or not!"
"Hmph, you cowardly dry-skinned people, you're going to kill yourself..." Guatu sneered as he huddled in the corner and used a conch spear to give himself a pedicure.
Joe was not happy with what the frogman said. He jumped up suddenly, regardless of the seaweed still tied to his hand, and snatched the conch spear that Guatu had used for pedicure.
Guatu was so frightened that his face turned green. He was afraid that Qiao would get angry and hurt the Great Elder, so he immediately stood in front of the Great Elder.
In the end, Qiao didn't attack Guatu or the elder, but directly pierced his chest with the spear Kucha, swearing while spitting blood: "Isn't it just death, I will die for you to see!"
After he finished speaking, he pulled out his spear, and immediately blood gushed out from the wound and spilled all over the ground. It looked extremely bloody, and the two frogmen beside him were stunned.
Not to mention the young Guatu, even if he lived for a long time, the experienced elders were stunned: He committed suicide when he disagreed with him. When did human beings become such an annoyed race
Then they waited for a long time, only to find that Joe was still alive and kicking, and even the wound on his chest seemed less obvious.
"Ou Cao, the blood is too thick, and he didn't kill himself..." Joe himself found out the reason. Although the heart was almost pierced just now, it is undoubtedly a fatal injury on an ordinary person, but because he is a player Protected by the rules of the game system, although he hit a critical hit due to a critical attack, he still has a lot of blood to spare.
So he could only swear and make up for himself under the dumb gaze of the two frogmen. This time he directly pierced his throat, and the whole scene was extremely tragic.
"Damn, I can finally die..."
After saying this sentence, Joe passed away with a very peaceful smile on his face.
For a moment, the entire conch house was enveloped in a strange silence.
The players and the frogmen looked at each other.
"Pfft."
Goudan finally couldn't hold back his laughter, but he reacted quickly, and immediately pretended to be nonchalant and looked around at the scenery, but unfortunately there was nothing to see in the conch room.
Guatu looked at Goudan, and thought that this person must owe a lot of dried salted fish to that dead dry-skinned man, otherwise how could he still be able to laugh after his companion died.
Although it also doubted whether the dry skinned man faked his death to lie to them, but Joe did have two big wounds on his chest and throat, which could not be faked, and his heartbeat and breathing disappeared completely. He should be really dead, but Guatu always feels that something is wrong...
"Well, you have also seen our sincerity."
Seeing Goudan and the others working hard while holding back their laughter, Vera was afraid that she would be betrayed, so she quickly said to the elder of the Frogmen: "Let's talk about how to cooperate."
"Uh, don't you guys plan to deal with your companion's corpse first?" the elder of the Frogmen tribe asked with some confusion.
However, it seems that it has agreed to cooperate with the players. After all, Joe has shown such stamina. It is afraid that if he hesitates for a moment, there will be a lot of human beings here. The enemies of the Secret Eye Society alone are already too much for the frogmen to deal with. If we start a war on both sides with these self-proclaimed adventurers who don't even blink their own eyes, I'm afraid their frogmen village will be destroyed in a few days. genocide...
"Oh, this." Vera hesitated about what to do with Joe's body.
She can't say that as long as the players' bodies are left for a day, they will disappear naturally after the effective resurrection time, right
"Why don't you uncover the kelp for us and we'll drag him out?" Edward suggested immediately upon seeing this.
In fact, it doesn't matter to let the frogmen from outside come in and drag away the corpse at this time, but firstly, Edward intends to test how much the frogman's willingness to cooperate with them is, and secondly... Nima can't help but want to laugh.
Guatu looked at the elder hesitantly, who thought for a moment, then nodded slowly.
So Guatu picked up Joe's suicide spear, cut off the kelp that bound the players' wrists, and untied them.
Edward and the others obediently dragged Joe's body out of the Conch Room under Guatu's surveillance. Only Vera stayed in the room to discuss specific cooperation methods with the Great Elder.
The frogmen outside saw that there was a croaking figure next to the players, but they didn't delve into Edward's behavior.
After Guatu returned to the conch room, Edward and Goudan couldn't help laughing.
"Pfft haha, Joe is so funny... he smothered me to death!"
"Don't make trouble, at least he used his life to pave the way for cooperation... Hahaha, sorry, I can't go on, it's too funny..."
The hearty and sandy laughter attracted the attention of the surrounding frogmen...
