Ying Zhao looked up at the flickering light on the stone pillar.
He sighed. "I don't know how much longer we can last."
Lin Shao's original mission was to catch a thief.
He didn't expect to hear such a story before he came.
During his time in the Mountain and Sea Realm,
He had seen many helpless things. The Celestial God Race was not the only race.
If he looked at it without emotion,
The "misery" of the Celestial God Race did not make Ying Zhao's actions in Mount Taiqi reasonable.
But Lin Shao did not want to use the word "steal" to describe it.
No matter who said it out loud,
Or just thought about it in his head.
What was the purpose of this race to become like this,
Lin Shao was very clear.
He was actually an ordinary person,
He was easily affected by his emotions,
He could not maintain absolute justice in the face of many things.
At this time, the Taotie said to Ying Zhao with difficulty, "You … have changed a lot."
Ying Zhao smiled,
And said, "It's a broken pot. I know it was wrong to take Wen Yao's crops in Mount Taiqi, and I know the Wen Yao Clan is very angry about it. But I don't have the energy to think about how to make food for myself, and I don't want other races to find us. Isn't this the best choice for me?
It's simple and crude. I also know that if it was me in the past,
I wouldn't do it even if I starved to death. But if you fall into my situation, you will change like me. "
Lin Shao stood to the side,
And didn't know what to say,
Ying Zhao's words were casual and roguish,
However, their expressions were bitter.
Lin Shao had been looking for so long, and he had indeed found the target of his mission.
Ying Zhao did not deny it at all. For Lin Shao's mission progress, as long as he went down and told Wen Yao about it, the mission would be completed. But Lin Shao was somewhat resistant and could not do it.
Bai Ze had already gone down the mountain to see the parasite-like black evil spirit on the Boer Emperor's body. But in the end, he shook his head and said, "It's a little troublesome. I don't dare to act rashly."
Taotie also went forward to take a look. He also shook his head, but added, "I'll go back and look for it. I've also saved some things over the years. Maybe I'll find something useful when I go back and look through it."
When Ying Zhao heard what the two of them had to say, his expression didn't change. "It's good that you didn't completely deny it. That means there's still hope."
However, the Boer Emperor, who was lying there, remained silent as he listened to these words.
After listening to the story, Taotie was anxious to go back and find the things in his inventory to go down the mountain. Bai Ze turned to look at Lin Shao and wanted to say something, but at this time, the Boer Emperor opened his mouth and said, "He is a human."
His words were directed at Lin Shao.
When Lin Shao heard this, he quickly nodded and said, "I'm a human. Yes, I'm a new messenger."
"Can you come over for a moment?" King Bo asked, smiling warmly at Lin Shao. "Can I talk to you?
Let's talk in private. "
Lin Shao was a little surprised, but he still went forward and stood obediently in front of the Boer Emperor.
Ying Zhao and Bai Ze didn't know why the Boer Emperor suddenly said such a thing. They looked at each other and left, leaving only Lin Shao and the Boer Emperor.
The Boer Emperor's appearance was a little frightening, but Lin Shao was used to seeing it a few times and didn't find it too scary. It had two heads, and its two eyes were very gentle.
"When did you come to the Mountain and Sea Realm?" the Boer Emperor asked him.
"Two, two months ago." The Boer Emperor was so tall that even when he was lying down, he was still taller than Lin Shao when he was standing. Lin Shao could only look up at him and answer like a primary school student. "Yes, so I'm not familiar with many things in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
"It's fine. You can slowly learn." The Boer Emperor smiled. "I asked you to come here because I wanted to ask you something. After being separated from the Mountain and Sea Realm for so long, how is the Human Realm doing?"
"Ah?"
Lin Shao was surprised, but he lowered his head and thought for a moment, then answered honestly, "It's not bad. However, the number of humans is much greater than the number of creatures in the Mountain and Sea Realm, so there are always some bad things because of the competition. Overall, the Human Realm is doing better and better."
"That's good." After hearing this, the Boer Emperor's expression became even gentler, as if he had remembered something. "I didn't know how long I could last. Now that I know this, I guess it's a relief.
Before we were separated, I lived in a human village near Huan Mountain, and I got along well with them. I'm one of the few creatures in the Mountain and Sea Realm that likes humans.
The Mortal Realm seems to be doing well. That's good news for me right now. "
When Lin Shao heard this, he didn't know what to say. He looked at the evil spirits on the Boer Emperor's body. When he got closer, he saw that the black spirits were actually moving up and down.
"Does it hurt?"
Lin Shao looked at him and asked. After that, he looked down at his feet and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, I said something stupid again."
The Boer Emperor laughed and said, "It's not stupid. After hearing this, I wanted to pat your head, but I have these dirty things on me, so it's better not to touch you.
It doesn't hurt much, so don't worry. "
Lin Shao was racking his brains to think of a way to help the Boer Emperor. However, he was not like Bai Ze or the Taotie. The only thing he had was the System. However, the System didn't provide him with this ability, so he had no idea.
The Boer Emperor seemed to know what he was thinking and said, "You didn't come to Huai Mountain for me.
I'm guessing that if it weren't for you, the new emissary, Bai Ze and the Taotie wouldn't have come to Huai Mountain. At least, you've brought me a glimmer of hope. "
After Lin Shao heard this, he was silent for a long time.
"You'll get better," he said with a pale face. "You'll definitely get better."
The Boer Emperor only smiled.
"I'll hold on for as long as I can," he said softly. "I originally wanted to die with this body, but if I left Ying Zhao alone, what would it do?"
After seeing the Boer Emperor and Ying Zhao, Lin Shao's mood was gloomy.
He left Huai Mountain and returned to Xun Mountain with the Taotie. He watched as the Taotie rummaged through the treasures. The big Taotie's treasure house was rich and not something the small Taotie could compare with, but after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find the one he wanted.
"I'm going to look through other places," the Taotie was a little irritated as he walked around in circles. "I'll find it."
Lin Shao looked at the busy Taotie and asked Bai Ze, "Bai Ze, can we really help the Boer Emperor get rid of the evil spirit on his body?"
Bai Ze shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, I'm still thinking of a way."
This was not the first time that Lin Shao felt that he didn't know what to do when doing a task. He was obviously very anxious, but there was nothing to do. But every time he encountered this kind of thing, he would secretly hate himself in his heart for not being a little more powerful and knowing more things.
The little Taotie next to him didn't seem to know anything. He didn't understand the sadness of the adults at all. He was jumping around on the grass next to him, picking fruits to eat. Listening to these words, the only keyword he could catch was "Taiqi Mountain".
"Taiqi Mountain is a good place ~" The little Taotie came to Lin Shao's side with a pile of fruits and looked at him with starry eyes. "Wen Yao and our Taotie have also dealt with each other. He said that there was too much food there and we could go there to eat at any time. It's just that it's too far from here. Lin Shao gege, take me there, it'll be very convenient for you to teleport."
Lin Shao was thinking about the task in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. The little Taotie was also very clingy. Lin Shao had no choice but to open the system and take him there.
He couldn't tell Wen Yao what he had just experienced. He wanted to send the little Taotie there first and then come back to pick him up later. But as soon as Lin Shao arrived at Taiqi Mountain, he found that there was a bit of chaos here.
"What's wrong?" Lin Shao was puzzled. He looked at the little Taotie and walked a few steps towards the place where the noise was coming from.
After a while, he met Wen Yao. Wen Yao told him, "The thief from last night seems to have been caught."
Lin Shao's heart twitched. How could it be?
He hurriedly ran over there with Wen Yao and found a white, goose-like creature surrounded in the middle. His eyes turned and saw the date cake scattered on the side.
Patriarch Wen Yao came a little later than Lin Shao. As soon as he arrived, he said, "It's not him."
Yesterday's video was only available here. Only Clan Leader Wen Yao and Lin Tuo watched it carefully. Although Lin Tuo asked around, the only word they remembered was "wings".
"But we found the cake."
"It's not him. At least, it's not the one who destroyed the field." Patriarch Wen Yao and Lin Shao looked at each other. "Let's disperse. Let me deal with this."
Patriarch Wen Yao still had a lot of authority here. As soon as he spoke, everyone dispersed.
Lin Shao didn't leave. He helped the shivering goose-like creature up.
"I took this thing. I'm sorry. I just haven't eaten it before. It smells sweet, so I wanted to taste it," he whispered to Lin Shao, then turned to Wen Yao. "Believe me, I'm not the one who has been stealing food and destroying the field. I've been here for less than a year."
Lin Shao replied, "I know. Don't be nervous. It's just a piece of cake."
He was distracted by Ying Zhao's story. He didn't realize that his plan to use the cake as a bait was a bit of a bug. Every time Ying Zhao came to Mount Taiqi, it would leave as soon as possible. How could it have the time to take a piece of cake?
The date paste cake wasn't taken by Ying Zhao. The second time, Lin Shao didn't attract Ying Zhao's attention because of the cake, but because he deliberately opened the door of Wen Yao's warehouse. Of course, it was faster to take things from the warehouse than to dig the ground. Lin Shao won Ying Zhao's bid. It was all a freak combination of factors.
Lin Shuo's mind turned around. She quickly figured it out, but she couldn't tell Wen Yuan.
Patriarch Wen Yao looked at him and asked, "Lin Shao, have you found out who the thief was?"
Lin Shao lowered his head and clenched his fists, but he still shook his head.
