"Uh, this..." After hearing what Richard said, Ximu's expression suddenly became a little exciting, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed because he had been guessed.
After a moment of silence, he took a breath and then said calmly, "Okay, I'll tell the truth. Yes, I just want the thing in your hand."
"What use is this thing to you?"
"You guessed it right, the thing in your hand should be the remnants of the other party's life source. It is a highly condensed essence, similar to my tree heart, but it has no ability to resurrect. If I eat it, I can transform its remaining essence. Part of the source of life is for my use, and I can gain part of its abilities.”
"Part of the ability?" Richard asked, "Does it mean that you can create various creatures like it?"
"I could have done this." Ximu said, "I am the wise man of the tree, the source of the forest, and the immortal guardian. I can create life myself. You saw it when I was in the lonely forest. But it's just that I can create life. … I didn’t attach too much importance to this ability. Later, I was imprisoned by you in the Garden of Eden and there was no room for this ability to be used. In addition, I wanted to increase my defense power and consolidated my original power, so I adjusted the direction of my ability development. As a result, you know, I became strong, almost immortal, but my ability to create life was greatly reduced.
But now, after fighting this super creature, I found that the ability to create creatures is quite useful. If used well, it will be very amazing. Therefore, I want to regain this ability through the opponent's remaining original power, and at the same time recover from my injuries during the battle. "
Isn't this just like in the Earth game, where the game characters reset their skill points... Or get new skill points and activate new skills... Richard's eyes flashed, he held the dark gold stone in his hand, and thought for a while without rejecting Ximu's offer. demand, but opened his mouth and asked: "Then what good does it do me?"
"Huh?" Ximu didn't react for a while.
"I said, what good will it do if I give this to you?" Richard repeated and asked seriously.
In Richard's opinion, the problems in the forest are almost solved now, and then it's time to harvest. When the fruits are ripe, they need to be picked, and when the pigs are fat, they need to be slaughtered - this is like paying back a debt.
After hearing this, Ximu finally understood, thought for a while, and said tentatively: "If you give me the remaining energy source of the other party, in addition to adding another ten years to the time I serve you, all the creatures I will produce after that, Within five years, half of the quantity can be used by you. Of course, I need to analyze the information in the other party's origin in the early stage. I cannot provide it in large quantities in the first two years, but there will be no problem in the next three years. How about it?"
After hearing this, Richard nodded slightly. He had to say that Ximu's conditions were quite sincere.
He couldn't go too far in giving a wooden peach in return for Qiong Yao. After thinking about it, he said sincerely: "The additional service time will be doubled. All the creatures produced will belong to me within ten years, and they will be treated according to the regulations." Produce according to my will, without breach of contract - for each breach of contract, the term will be increased by one year."
"You!" Ximu glared and shouted, "Boy, you've gone too far!"
"Is it too much?" Richard spread his hands and said calmly, "Okay, let's talk about what happened this time. The last time I met you, I told you seriously to be on guard against anything unusual and report any problems immediately to Me. As a result, you kept delaying until the end and nothing happened. It was Annie who reported it, so I found out... "
After hearing what Ximu said, he was instantly discouraged. After all, he was in the wrong for this matter. He said helplessly: "Okay, double it, double it, ten years will be ten years."
"No, it was fifteen years." Richard corrected, "I changed my mind."
"Huh? Why?"
"I said ten years before, as a condition of the transaction, and five years as compensation for your mistakes." Richard said seriously. Halfway through, he thought about it and changed his words again, "No, your mistake was a big one. The compensation should be at least Ten years, then it adds up to twenty years.”
"You!" Ximu was so angry that he almost exploded, but he really didn't dare to argue with Richard anymore, lest Richard raise the price again when he opened his mouth, he said loudly and with a complicated expression, "Okay, twenty years, twenty years, when it comes to Once you do it, you can’t change it again!”
"Okay." Richard nodded, looked at Ximu and asked with a smile, "So it's a deal?"
"Deal." Ximu said angrily and helplessly.
"Very good." Richard raised his hand and threw the dark gold stone in his hand towards Ximu.
Ximu opened his mouth, caught it accurately, swallowed it in one gulp, and then there was no sound.
"That's it?" Richard was slightly surprised.
"I'm thinking too much." Ximu responded angrily, "I just stored it in my body temporarily. It will take a long time until I adjust my condition and digest it slowly."
"Okay." Richard said, turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly he saw something again. He pointed to the side and asked, "Is this thing considered the remnant of the life source of the superborn species? What conditions can you offer in the deal? ?”
Ximu turned around and saw that it was a burnt oval object.
The object was about 1.7 meters in height. It was originally placed on the fungus blanket, but was later blasted into the forest outside the clearing during the energy explosion. Because it was not in the core area of the energy explosion and the outer shell was relatively strong, there was no other damage other than being burned to a crisp. That's why Richard asked this question.
Ximu glanced at the oval object for a few times, shook his head and said in denial: "This thing is definitely not the remaining life source of the super-born species."
"what is that?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know." Ximu shook his head and suddenly said again, "Hey, wait a minute, I remembered something."
"What?"
"Didn't I tell you before? It was only after I sensed the fluctuations in the battle that I saw the figure of the female insect, and then I told you." Ximu said.
Richard's thinking was quick, and he immediately reacted after hearing this, and said: "You mean, this is the person who fought with the female insect before and exposed the female insect's location? It was the other party's intrusion that allowed you to collect the information, and then let you know I was able to get rid of the mother worm. So, I should be grateful to the other party."
"You can say that. But looking at the other party's appearance, I am afraid that he failed in the battle and was killed by the female insect." Ximu said, "You have no chance to thank me."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a soft squeaking sound inside the oval, and a weak energy reaction came out, as if some life was struggling to break out, but the heart was not strong enough.
"Well!"
Richard couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, looked at Ximu and said: "It seems that it is better than what you said. The other party is not dead, but just trapped. Then, there is still a chance to thank him."
As he spoke, Richard stepped closer.
