Looking at the toad approaching step by step, Xu Le knew that if he said he didn't want to.
The steel fork that killed the ghost will most likely fall on his head.
The gap in strength between the two sides is too big, and Xu Le is not sure whether the gods here are the same as he imagined.
It is stupid to choose to cheat because of something you don't even understand.
So, confess!
"I have absolutely no intention of being unwilling, Lord Jinchan, but I really don't know what to do about the tribute.
To put it bluntly, I don’t know how to do it. If you want to believe me, please take it yourself.
As for the earthworms, please give me some time and I will find enough earthworms in a few days."
Xu Lebie’s abilities are almost negligible, but his thinking is still acceptable.
After all, I have been writing novels for so many years, and even though they are still flopped, the quality of the writing is still there.
He is usually a keyboard warrior and speaks quickly.
The golden toad hesitated for a moment.
"Why should I believe you?"
I was about to make up some excuses, but when the words came to my lips I couldn't say them.
Xu Le felt his body become stiff.
He suddenly entered a state of intense concentration. The toad in front of him began to twist and the pixel-style picture appeared again.
He opened his mouth involuntarily:
"Jin Chan, you know I'm special, so you can only trust me!"
The low, gloomy voice instantly echoed in the empty house.
It's like the prayer of the god of death.
There was no honorifics anymore, and it even had a threatening tone.
Xu Le didn't know how he made that sound, but it didn't matter anymore.
The important thing is that the toad seems to be very fond of this.
After Xu Le showed this attitude, it actually became a little afraid.
"I understand, young psychic, I will protect you as a shikigami until dawn.
When you have collected enough earthworms, you can use this mark to find me."
Toad finished speaking, and with a pain in the palm of his hand, a mark of a greedy mouth appeared on Xu Le's palm.
Shikigami, mark!
He touched the mark, and when he touched the mark, Xu Le clearly felt the heat.
"How do I use it?"
"You know."
Xu Le did not continue to ask, so as not to cause any extra trouble in his messy conversation.
"Thank you, Master Jinchan."
"You're welcome. This is a transaction between us, not an offering."
After Toad finished speaking, he turned his head away and no longer looked at Xu Le.
It walked to the door of the house, holding a steel fork in one hand and taking out a new cigarette from somewhere in the other hand.
He lit one for himself very skillfully.
Hiss~ha!
"Cigarettes are wonderful. Humans really know how to enjoy them."
"Yes, humans really know how to enjoy themselves."
Xu Le stood there savoring Toad's words. Was it a transaction, not an offering
My train of thought was interrupted by a sudden distortion.
Xu Le looked down and it was Lao Zhou's body that caught his attention.
In the distorted vision, there was a black object on Lao Zhou's chest.
"Will a weird corpse become even weirder?"
Xu Le did not get an answer to the question about the nesting dolls.
After hesitating for a while, Xu Le decided to check it out.
Toad said he would protect him, so these actions should be within the scope of his protection, right
He bent down and began to feel around on Lao Zhou's body.
Soon, he found the object emitting black light.
The medal wrapped in the wallet is a medal of honor for a retired soldier!
Suddenly, a row of text similar to the previous distorted prompt appeared next to the medal!
Veteran's Soul
Ancient Sound Relics-TU Level
Experience: Your shooting and fighting skills have been slightly improved.
Soldier Soul - Effect 1: Physical fitness is slightly improved.
Soldier Soul - Effect 2: Release the soul of the veteran, temporarily strengthen yourself, and the relic will be destroyed after use.
Note: If you want to use this relic, you need to fulfill Zhou Ke's last wish.
Looking at the words that were still moving, Xu Le was a little stunned.
Ancient Sounds and Relics? TU
This thing has just a tiny bit of something!
Um, it’s not just putting it here, but this thing looks like... it’s really something!
After hesitating again, Xu Le finally pointed his finger towards the medal.
As he picked up the medal, after a moment of trance, clear memories flooded into his mind like a tide.
These memories are rigid, like many objects in a home.
It is clearly at home, but if you don't see it, you really can't remember it.
Soon, Xu Le's expression kept changing, becoming more and more complicated, and even a little embarrassed.
… …
Memories began to flow back, and clear images appeared in front of Xu Le.
A few hours ago, Zhou Ke.
It was the corpse, Old Zhou, who had been lying on the ground, now staring at the wall of the house with shining eyes.
On the shabby wall of the hut, a colorful fruit with a strange auspicious cloud pattern actually grew.
This fruit has no roots or wings, but it extends directly out of the rock, which is very strange.
"Ah Le, is this the legendary Ancient Yin Duo Fruit? And it's colorful!"
Zhou Ke's voice trembled with excitement.
However, the eyes of the original owner Xu Le behind him kept flickering after seeing the fruit:
“It is indeed the Guyinduo Fruit, but the correct name should be the Guyinduo Seed.
It is said that it was formed by the spores of the ancient Yinduo tree that were spread all over the world and absorbed natural forces.
But it is incredible that there are so many ancient sounds in this place."
The original owner Xu Le's voice was very low and strange, like a sand table that was constantly rubbing against each other, or a phonograph that was out of tune.
It sounded eerie, not at all like a voice that should sound like someone his age.
"Is it valuable?" Lao Zhou was already eager to try.
"It's very valuable, but it must be kept in good condition and carefully, without any damage."
"No problem, you hold it for me and I'll pick it."
Old Zhou handed the rifle in his hand to the original owner and climbed up to the floor in a few seconds.
Then pick the fruits carefully.
The original owner looked at the rifle in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingers that were holding the rifle turned white.
While Xu Le was nervous, Lao Zhou had already taken the Guyinduo fruit with his agility and climbed down carefully.
"It's intact, Ale, it really worked this time.
We'll each take half, um..."
Phew!
When Lao Zhou came down excitedly holding the Guyinduo fruit, Xu Le's dagger pierced his back directly.
He pushed Lao Zhou, then raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at Lao Zhou, whose body was stiff and turning slowly in front of him.
Looking at the muzzle of the gun, Lao Zhou's expression became even stiffer, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
The slightly weathered face showed a somewhat lonely expression:
"Not really?"
"Stop moving."
The original owner's voice was still low, even deeper than before.
He walked forward, pointed the gun at Lao Zhou, and took the Guyinduo seed from Lao Zhou's hand.
After getting the Ancient Yinduo Seed, the original owner spoke expressionlessly:
"Old Zhou, some things can't be divided."
Lao Zhou lowered his head slightly and smiled bitterly at himself:
"Should I... not give you the gun?"
"It's meaningless to say this anymore!"
The original owner Xu Le's determination made Zhou Ke helpless. The large amount of blood flowing from the wound on his back made him begin to become weak:
"Ahem, Ah Le, when you go back, can you please let Tingting and my wife go..."
Zhou Ke knew that he couldn't recover from this injury.
Xu Le was too cruel. He was worried that Xu Le would not let go of his wife and children after he returned. They were his only concerns.
The original owner shook his head slightly:
"You are not qualified to negotiate with me now."
Zhou Ke still underestimated Xu Le's viciousness and cruelty.
The original owner Xu Le took a few steps back, kept a safe distance from Zhou Ke, and immediately swallowed the Guyinduo fruit with a frown.
Then he raised the gun in his hand and was about to wipe Zhou Ke out from this world completely.
The original owner did not give Zhou Ke any chance.
Click!
The sound of the trigger being pulled was heard, but the gun did not fire.
"Huh?" Xu Le, who was using a musket for the first time, was obviously stunned.
His hesitant reaction naturally could not compare with that of a veteran like Zhou Ke.
Zhou Ke suddenly rushed forward and kicked Xu Le in the stomach violently. The pain made Xu Le's face twisted a little, and the musket in his hand fell out of his hand because of the kick.
After falling to the ground, the original owner looked up in horror, only to see that Zhou Ke had picked up his rifle again.
The veteran's determination is reflected here.
Without any hesitation, he would not give Xu Le any chance.
Unlock the safety, pull the bolt, and shoot.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, and Xu Le felt like his chest was hit hard.
What followed was a dizzying vision.
The impact of the musket made him completely lose the ability to think for a short period of time.
Before dying, the original owner seemed to see the wall twisting, and the red brick and white wall turned into a mosaic-like shape.
But the original owner's consciousness had become blurred.
He didn't know whether this was real or an illusion.
He could only let the whole world turn into a kaleidoscope in his sight.
