"You seem to be very sure that I can deal with them!"
Qi Yuan looked at the little girl in front of him and felt that it was a little ridiculous. As a human, it felt strange to be trusted by a Polluter.
"I can see the future. Although there are some humans who are stronger than you, they are not a match for Xu Kui and Xu Xiaoshuang. Only you can destroy them!" the little girl said with certainty.
This little girl had the ability of the Mysterious Realm!
And her level was not low!
A thought flashed through Qi Yuan's mind, and then he revealed a gentle smile.
"How big is the Holy Stone under the city?"
The little girl frowned slightly as if she did not know how to describe it. After a while, her eyes lit up as if she had thought of a good idea.
Then, Qi Yuan saw a Polluter curl up on the ground. Then, another Polluter walked over and hugged it in his arms. When the four Polluters hugged each other, the little girl pointed at the meatball in front of her and said, "It's about this big!"
Qi Yuan's mouth twitched. It was really vivid!
With this IQ, no wonder Xu Kui and Xu Xiaoshuang didn't kill you. They probably kept you as the city's mascot!
However, this Asterite was really big!
An Asterite the size of four adult Polluters would probably weigh a ton!
An Asterite the size of a fist could make Gray Robe choose to betray him. An Asterite that weighed a ton. No wonder the surrounding gathering points were at daggers drawn.
"Since it's a cooperation, the premise must be an equivalent exchange. I can help you deal with Xu Kui and Xu Xiaoshuang, but how can you help me?"
An intelligent Polluter who controlled more than ten Rank 3 Bestial Polluters and was a native of the old city was definitely a powerful force. Since he had encountered it, he could not let it go.
The little girl was obviously stunned for a moment and said with some hesitation, "What help do you want?
I can get Dabao and the others to help you, but they can't meet Xu Kui and the others. Otherwise, they will be snatched away by Xu Kui and the others! "
Dabao?
Qi Yuan glanced at the ferocious Polluters around her.
You are a genius at naming things!
"I'm very interested in the Holy stone you mentioned. If you can give me a few Holy stone, I'll help you deal with Xu Kui and Xu Xiaoshuang."
"No!"
As expected, the little girl refused. Moreover, her attitude was very firm. The Holy Stone seemed to have an extraordinary position in her heart.
However, Qi Yuan did not give up. He began to persuade the little girl with a persuasive (persuasive) persuasion.
"Look, the Holy Stone under the city is so big!" Qi Yuan made an exaggerated hugging gesture.
"Now it's occupied by Xu Kui and Xu Xiaoshuang. You can't even see it. Aren't they too despicable?
And I only need such a small piece. I can help you chase them away, and you can take back the Holy stone that was stolen by the bad guys. "
"You" saw "it too. Only I can help you defeat the bad guys and take back the Holy stone."
"This is equivalent to you only using such a small piece of Holy stone to exchange for a large piece of Holy stone. Think about it yourself, isn't it a profit?"
… ….
The little girl felt that Qi Yuan's words were a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. Slowly, her eyes changed from resolute opposition to some doubt, then some temptation, and finally, she was convinced.
"But, I only have one Holy stone." The little girl said with a conflicted expression.
"Don't you want to defeat Xu Kui and Xu Xiaoshuang and take back the biggest Holy stone?
Only by giving will there be gains. "
"Will you really help me defeat those bad guys?"
"Of course. The bad guys will definitely be defeated!" Qi Yuan said solemnly.
At least five Hunters from the gathering points had swarmed into this old city. No matter how powerful Xu Kui and Xu Xiaoshuang were, they were no match for them. Even if they were lucky enough to win, they would probably be crushed by the Black Steel Shelter next time.
As for whether or not we can take back the Asterite, that's not up to me. I'm only responsible for defeating the bad guys. You can negotiate with the Hunters for the spoils of war.
After receiving Qi Yuan's affirmative answer, the little girl finally made up her mind.
"Come with me."
The surrounding Bestial Polluters opened up a path into the darkness. Qi Yuan's eyes narrowed as he reached for the flash bomb hidden in his pocket.
More than ten Stage 3 Polluters were a very powerful force. If he was surrounded by them in the depths of the building, he might not be able to escape with his own strength. He would need to rely on the power of the flash bomb.
Qi Yuan slowly walked into the darkness. With his [Area Detection], nothing in the darkness could hide from him.
The little girl cautiously kept a distance from Qi Yuan while carefully avoiding the light that shone through the gaps of the closed windows. After walking through a long corridor, the little girl suddenly pointed at the stairs that led downwards.
"The Holy Stone is down there. You can go down and get it yourself."
The little girl stepped aside for Qi Yuan to go down the stairs with a frown.
"It's too dark down there. Have your people go down and bring it up!"
The little girl shook her head.
"They can't touch the Holy Stone. They'll lose control!"
Lose control?
Qi Yuan glanced at the surrounding Bestial Polluters and noticed that they were looking at the stairs with longing and fear. It was the same as the few Polluters he saw on the rooftop.
Asterite's ability to suppress and interfere with Asterite would allow the Bestial Polluters to break free from the control of the Intelligent Polluters?
Qi Yuan activated his Area Detection, and he saw a panoramic view of the pitch-black basement. He saw a few dolls neatly placed in the corner of the room, as well as a fist-sized star energy stone held in a teddy bear's hand.
The basement was not big, and there was no sealed door above. After carefully scanning the surrounding area with Area Detection, Qi Yuan's lips suddenly curled up.
This little girl was not as easy to fool as she looked.
But it did not matter. He had a flash bomb and a plasma bomb. If they really fell out, no one would have an easy time.
Although he had not touched the Asterite yet, just being detected by Area Detection caused every cell in his body to become restless. They were thirsting for Asterite.
This thirst was so strong that even Qi Yuan was affected.
Calm down!
Qi Yuan took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his body. He turned to look at a certain female Polluter beside the little girl and revealed a playful smile.
The little girl's hands clenched, and she seemed a little nervous.
"Don't be afraid. Since you've decided to work with me, we're friends!"
Qi Yuan smiled and then walked down the stairs into the dark basement.
Seeing Qi Yuan disappear into the basement entrance, the little girl subconsciously glanced at the Polluter that Qi Yuan's eyes were locked on. After seeing the Polluter nod gently, her hanging heart was slightly relieved.
A minute later, Qi Yuan returned safely from the basement with the Asterite.
The little girl looked at the Holy Stone in Qi Yuan's hand with a complicated expression. She seemed a little reluctant to part with it.
"I've already received the deposit. Our cooperation will be very pleasant!"
Qi Yuan casually tossed the Asterite in his hand, and his smile became even brighter.
"Xu Kui and Xu Xiaoshuang are in the underground laboratory in the center of the city. The Holy Stone is also there!" said the little girl.
"Don't worry. I still don't know your name." Qi Yuan smiled and asked.
The little girl was silent for a moment before saying in a low voice, "My name is Pepe."
"Pepe!
What a nice name! "Qi Yuan praised.
"This place is too far from the center of the city. I'll encounter many Polluters on the way. Is there any way to make the other Polluters not stop me?"
The little girl fell silent again. Qi Yuan was not in a hurry. The Asterite was already in his hands. The little girl Pepe was a native of the old city. Even if Xu Kui and Xu Xiaoshuang took over her nest, she would definitely have other means. Otherwise, these more than ten Grade 3 Polluters would not listen to her orders.
The little girl handed the Snow White doll in her hand to a Beast Polluter beside her.
"It can make the other Polluters not take the initiative to attack you, but you can't take the initiative to attack them either!"
The Beast Polluter handed the Snow White doll to Qi Yuan. Qi Yuan observed it and found that it was just an ordinary toy. There was nothing special about it.
"It doesn't seem to be anything special."
"It has my aura. At least tonight, it can make the other Polluters not take the initiative to attack you!" explained the little girl.
"Won't the Polluters controlled by Xu Kui and Xu Xiaoshuang not be affected?"
"No!" Pepe shook her head.
"But it can only affect the Beast Polluters that you humans call!"
"That's enough!"
Qi Yuan hung the Snow White doll on his waist and turned to leave.
Pepe stood in the darkness and stared blankly at Qi Yuan's back as he left. To be precise, she was staring at the Snow White doll on Qi Yuan's waist.
Perhaps it noticed Pepe's gaze. The doll on Qi Yuan's waist suddenly turned to look at her. Its two blue eyes blinked gently.
Pepe shivered. She only let out a long sigh of relief when Qi Yuan's figure completely disappeared around the corner.
A rough finger pressed on Pepe's head and gently stroked her soft hair.
"Mommy!"
Pepe turned around and hugged the female Polluter in tattered clothes beside her. She buried her head into her body.
"He seems to have noticed you!"
"Yes, he noticed me!" The female Polluter in tattered clothes said softly.
"Can he really defeat Xu Kui and Xu Xiaoshuang and help us take back this city and the Holy Stone?" Pepe buried her head and asked doubtfully.
"He can definitely defeat Xu Kui and Xu Xiaoshuang!" The female Polluter in tattered clothes said with certainty.
"When Xu Kui and Xu Xiaoshuang leave, this city will become our home again.
As for the Holy Stone, no matter if the humans win or if Xu Kui and the others win, the Holy Stone will no longer belong to us! "
The female Polluter's voice was a little sad. Ever since Xu Kui and the others arrived, their peaceful life was completely destroyed. There was no possibility of them returning.
"Why doesn't the Holy Stone belong to us anymore?
Without the Holy Stone, Mommy, you can't become stronger! "
"It's okay, Pepe is enough to accompany me. The Holy Stone has been shattered by the devil last time. Now, only a few fragments are left. Let the humans and Xu Kui fight for it. We just need to wait for them to emerge victorious."
"As for this human, although he took away our last Holy Stone, he also took the Trickster. We don't have to worry about being devoured by him anymore."
"Pepe, you must remember that we are no longer humans. We are Polluters. Humans and us are enemies. Enemies that will not rest until one of us is dead!
There is no possibility of peaceful coexistence between us! "
Pepe nodded firmly.
As the artificial suns rose one after another, the old city that was as bright as day became much quieter. The Polluters' low growls and roars echoed in every corner of the city, but not many Polluters dared to bathe in the light. Occasionally, a few Polluters controlled by intelligent Polluters rushed out of the darkness and tried to destroy the Radiant Orb. However, they were quickly taken care of by the Hunters guarding the place.
Compared to the rooftop where occasional battles broke out, the empty streets were quiet and desolate.
Qi Yuan walked alone on the street, walking in the shadows where the light could not reach. No Hunters noticed that someone was walking on the street. Only pairs of dark eyes peeked at him from the darkness. However, they did not attack recklessly. Instead, they stared at Qi Yuan's back as he walked away.
Qi Yuan walked all the way to the center of the city. Surprisingly, he did not encounter any Polluters, which made him feel a little strange.
Was it because they were afraid of the light?
Or was it because of the doll?
Qi Yuan took the doll from his waist. He frowned as he looked at the clumsy doll.
Qi Yuan didn't believe a single word that the doll had Pep's aura and could evade the attacks of other bestial polluters. If it wasn't for the fact that he was worried about the intelligent polluter disguised as a bestial polluter, he would have thrown the doll away long ago.
Although the area detection did not detect any abnormalities on the doll, Qi Yuan still felt that something was wrong. He vaguely felt that the doll was not as simple as it looked.
After inspecting the doll, Qi Yuan threw it at one of the Polluters who was spying on them.
The Polluter dodged the flying doll. The murderous glint in its eyes instantly turned into fear.
Qi Yuan took a deep look at the doll that was rolling in the darkness, then at the fleeing Polluter. He turned around and left without hesitation.
Regardless of whether the doll was strange or not, he would not believe Pepe. The gap between humans and Polluters was not something that could be covered up with a few simple lies.
This trip to the old city was full of strange coincidences. Whether it was One-eyed Qiang, the little girl called Pepe, or Xu Kui and Xu Xiaoshuang who were hidden in the city.
If it was only one, it could be explained as a coincidence. But with so many coincidences, it was deliberately arranged.
Who arranged all of this?
One-eyed Qiang?
Polluter?
Or the Xu family?
One-eyed Qiang came back from the dead and became an Intelligent Polluter. He knew that I would enter the old city and waited for me here. He even left me an Asterite before jumping off the building and disappearing.
The Polluter picked up the corpse below and then gave me an Asterite!
Were Xu Kui and Xu Xiaoshuang also waiting for me with an Asterite?
His thoughts were all jumbled up. Qi Yuan could not figure out what was behind all these coincidences.
If there was really an invisible hand that had secretly arranged all of this, then that person's strength was definitely not something that he could fight against right now. To be able to toy with so many Tier 3 players in the palm of his hand, that person had to be at least a Shelter level existence.
Asterite!
What was an Asterite?
Polluters and ability users all thirsted for it. They were even willing to fight!
Now that the mission is not over, I have already obtained two. It seems like someone deliberately prepared these things for me.
