Leaving Ash City, the young snake-patterned man headed toward a mountain peak on the north side~щww~~lā Xia Lei followed him from a distance, his eyes always under the influence of farsightedness. The milk of death from Heini, a woman with black wings, not only gave him a dark aura, but also gave him the ability to see normally. He now no longer needs Shenyue Ruyi's liquid energy to see normally, and he has lost perspective and farsightedness. The ability is also back. This allows him to always lock on to his target from a few kilometers away without losing it.
After passing the villages of two night watchmen, the young snake-printed man did not stop, but entered the mountain and climbed up the mountain along a mountain path.
There is a temple on the slope of that mountain, but it is obviously abandoned. Part of the roof of the temple collapsed, and the remaining roof is covered with gray weeds, creating a desolate and dilapidated scene.
Going up the mountain, the young snake-printed man's speed obviously increased on the deserted mountain path, and it didn't take long before he arrived in front of the dilapidated temple on the mountainside.
The main door of the temple no longer exists. From the uncovered doorway, you can see a statue carved from black rock. It looks like a King Kong, but its body is made of There are corpses one after another, so it looks particularly hideous and terrifying.
This statue is a statue of Defascism.
The young snake-patterned man walked back and glanced back to make sure no one was following him before entering the temple.
An older snake-printed man walked out from behind the statue of Defasis. It was the snake-printed man who was kicked by the nobles of Ash City that day and then dropped a cherry tomato.
"Uncle Caoji, I'm back." The young snake-patterned man said with a smile: "I'll tell you good news. I met a fool in Ashes City today. He gave me a thousand black gold and bought all my goods. Haha, I feel happy now thinking about it.”
"Qingpi, those things of yours are worth at most 500 black gold. Who is so stupid as to pay you 1,000 black gold to buy them? You must not be bragging." said the snake-printed man known as Caoji.
The young snake-printed man known as Qingpi shook a bag in his hand and said proudly: "Did you see it? One thousand black gold is in this bag, and there is also wine and meat in it. I'm not bragging." If you take back your words, I can share my wine and meat with you.”
"You guy, I really regret taking you out of my hometown, okay, I take back what I just said. Give me some of your wine and some meat, I'm hungry," Kusama said.
The two snake-patterned men sat down opposite each other at the foot of the statue of Defasis, and started eating and drinking over a bottle of wine and a piece of meat.
"I said, Uncle Caoji, are you still guarding your bag of fruits? No one bought them. I think you are wasting your time."
Caoji sighed and said: "What do you know? It is an extremely precious good thing, but no one knows the goods."
Qingpi said: "Uncle Caoji, just throw it away and let's go explore the Abyss of Death together."
"The Abyss of Death? That is the forbidden area of Medusa, the goddess of death. It is said that no one who goes in can come out alive. You actually want to go there. Are you crazy?" Caoji said.
"Uncle Kusaka, has your courage become smaller as you grow older? I know that place is very dangerous, and I also know some legends about the Abyss of **. It is said that men who enter the Abyss of ** will meet Beautiful women can have sex with them at will. Women will also meet handsome men and can have sex with them..." Qingpi's eyes were filled with yearning.
Caoji shook his head, "You actually take those lying legends seriously? Put away your lustful thoughts, it will kill you sooner or later. Let me tell you what I know about the abyss of lust. , I don’t know if there are gods in the abyss, and I don’t know if there are beauties and handsome men. But what I know is that there is a dark, extremely cold, and earth-fissured canyon where even the air contains poison. "
"Are there no treasures there?"
"Legend has it that there is a river at the end of the abyss. Crossing that river leads to the world of the gods. The river is very wide, and Medusa's temple is on a small island in the middle of the river. She likes to live alone. "
"So, as long as you can enter the abyss and cross the river, you can enter the world of the gods?"
Caoji nodded, "Yes, this is the legend I know."
"Hahaha..." Qingpi laughed loudly.
Caoji didn't care at all, he ate meat and drank wine.
"What is the world of the gods like?" Qingpi asked.
Caoji said: "Who knows, but it should be better than this world, without so much killing and crime. If you like treasure hunting, you might be able to pick up the treasure just by bending down."
"Hahaha..." Qingpi couldn't help but laugh again, "Uncle Caoji, you are the recognized encyclopedia among our snake pattern tribe, but what you told me is obviously below the standard."
Caoji said: "Then just pretend that I didn't say anything, but I'll give you a piece of advice. You can go to general ruins and ancient tombs, but in dangerous places like the Abyss of Death, I advise you. It's best not to think about it. You only have one life, if you lose it, it's gone."
"Okay, okay, you sound like my father." Qingpi looked a little impatient.
The light in the temple suddenly dimmed a bit.
Caoji suddenly raised his head and looked at the door of the temple, and his pupils shrank into a line at that moment.
There was a man standing at the door of the temple, wearing a bamboo hat. The bamboo hat covered his face, and his face could not be seen. He just stood there, motionless. He didn't look strong, but he gave people a terrifying feeling.
Caoji suddenly pulled out an energy pistol from his waist and pointed the gun at the person standing at the door.
Only then did Qingpi react. He looked at the opening of the film and saw the person standing at the door. He was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out: "It's you!"
The person standing at the door was none other than Xia Lei, who had spent a thousand black gold to buy all his "treasures".
Xia Lei originally came early in the morning, but he just wanted to hear what the two snake-patterned people in the temple were talking about, so he didn't show up. But the conversation between the two serpentine men was of no value to him, and he soon lost patience.
"What are you doing here? I tell you, I won't refund your money." Qingpi stood up and reached out and pulled out a short knife from his waist. The blade of the short sword shone with cold light and looked very sharp.
"Is it him?" Caoji asked.
"That's him, huh, just a fool." Qingpi said, and then yelled at Xia Lei fiercely: "Go away, or I will kill you!"
Xia Lei walked towards the temple.
"Stop! I will shoot!" Soji suddenly became nervous.
Xia Lei didn't stop and said as he walked: "Don't be nervous, I just want to chat with you. I don't mean any harm. I can't keep up to refund the money."
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Caoji did not put down the energy pistol. He looked at Xia Lei warily.
Xia Lei simply sat down in the open space between the two of them and said, "Put the gun away. I don't like being pointed at by others."
Caoji did not put away the energy pistol. He knew coldly: "I don't know you, and I have no interest in getting to know you. There is nothing to talk about between us. You can leave."
Xia Lei put his hand into his pocket.
"Don't move!" Kusaka said nervously, "Or I'll shoot!"
Xia Lei took out his hand, and there was a wallet in his hand. He put his wallet on the ground with a smile on his face and said, "There is about ten thousand black gold in this wallet. Let's talk with me, and all the money in the wallet will be yours."
Caoji looked at the wallet on the ground and then at Xia Lei, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Xia Lei took off his hat and revealed his face, "Do you still remember me?"
Seeing Xia Lei's face clearly, Caoji was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "It was you... who killed the dragon of Heishan. I was also present in your duel with Heishan. I also saw you on the street that day. You... you were there Follow me?"
Xia Lei said: "You are wrong, I am not following you, I am looking for you. That day you were kicked by that idiot, and I picked up a nut that fell out of your pocket. I know that What’s a nut, it’s a cherry tomato, right?”
"You actually know about cherry tomatoes?"
"I know cherry tomatoes, but I don't know where you picked these cherry tomatoes. Can you tell me?"
"Is that the only question?" Kuoji's eyes remained alert, and he did not reach for the wallet.
"Two questions." Xia Lei said: "You answer my first question first, and then I will ask the second question."
Kusaka was hesitant.
Qingpi kept blinking at Caoji, indicating his acceptance.
Ten thousand black gold is not a small amount of money. This amount is enough for a family of three to live with adequate food and clothing for ten years. Qingpi took the risk and dug an ancient tomb, and the funerary objects he got were only worth a few hundred black gold. If Xia Lei hadn't deliberately asked him to close the stall, there was still a question whether he could sell them.
"Okay, I promise you." Caoji reached out and grabbed the wallet in his hand, "I didn't pick this bag of cherry tomatoes, it has long been extinct. Those are cherry tomatoes that I picked up from an old man in Lava City. I bought it for twenty black gold."
"An old man?" Xia Lei's heart moved, "What kind of old man?"
"An ordinary night watchman, apparently a farmer."
"Didn't you ask him where he got these cherry tomatoes?" Xia Lei asked.
"I'm not that stupid. I know those cherry tomatoes, but he doesn't. If I ask him, will he still sell them to me if he knows?" Caoji said.
Xia Lei did not pursue the question. He was silent for a moment and asked his second question, "You have traveled to many places and are a well-informed and experienced explorer of the Snake Tribe. I would like to ask you..."
"What?"
"Have you heard any stories about a fragment?" Xia Lei looked straight into Cao Ji's eyes, and a trace of sexual energy invisible to the naked eye penetrated into Cao Ji's brain at that moment. .
