"Worms of the Void!"
The Verdant Valley Hermit's expressions grew solemn. He shot divine energy at Lu Li's hand. Lu Li didn't try to stop it.
Just as he said, entering here and having his identity exposed, he was actually gambling with his life.
If the Verdant Valley Hermit wanted to kill him, Lu Li would not be able to stop him. His poison could kill supreme warriors in the Divinity.
The strand of divine energy disappeared into Lu Li's hand. Then, it wandered around Lu Li's body like a snake. After two rounds, the divine energy flew out of Lu Li's hand and returned to the Verdant Valley Mountain Man.
"I don't think it is divine energy. Is it some kind of special worm?"
Lu Li raised his eyebrows. If it was divine energy, how could it fly back?
The Verdant Valley Hermit pondered and frowned.
Lu Li became nervous because this was a matter of life and death for him.
Many warriors were not afraid of death but nobody wanted to die. Wouldn't it be better to stay alive?
If Lu Li died, Bai Qiuxue and the others would die with him.
After the time for two incense sticks to burn, the Verdant Valley Hermit finally looked up. He shook his head and said, "Lu Li, go. I will not save you."
"Ah?"
Lu Li's expressions changed. Was the Verdant Valley Hermit trying to raise the price or could he not save Lu Li?
Since the Verdant Valley Hermit said he would not save Lu Li, not that he couldn't, then there must be a way.
Lu Li cupped his fists and asked, "You won't save me?
Hillman, can you tell me the reason? "
"I can tell you!"
The Verdant Valley Hermit came straight to the point, "I am 60% sure that I can solve the Worms of the Void. But there are too many of them. It will take me too much time and energy.
Also … to solve all the Worms of the Void, I will have to use a poison I have in storage. I have spent hundreds of thousands of years and I only have 10 vats of this poison. If I want to save you, I will need at least seven or eight vats.
I am not related to you. You are not worthy of my poison. "
"Also!"
The Verdant Valley Hermit continued after a pause, "When the poison enters your body, it will hurt you as well. Your body will become weaker and you will be more afraid of cold.
Unless you can find a sacred medicine, but that kind of sacred medicine should only be available in the Hall of Life and Death. With your relationship with the Craftsmen's Sect, going to the Hall of Life and Death is equivalent to committing suicide.
So … "
Lu Li understood. The eyes of the Green Valley Mountain people were sincere. It didn't seem like they were trying to raise the price.
Lu Li thought for a while and said with a bitter smile, "I will live a little longer if I can. Hillman, name your price and help me destroy the Worms of Void!"
Green Valley Mountain Man's expression became a little awkward. His eyes flickered for a moment before he asked, "You can actually find another way. Although there is no way to break the void worm, some powerhouses of the major forces should be able to do so."
Lu Li forced a smile and said, "Do I have time?"
"You're right …"
The Green Valley Mountain Man curled his lips. There were more than 200,000 Worms of Void in Lu Li's body. At this rate, in less than half a month, there would be millions of Worms of Void in Lu Li's body. By then, Lu Li's body would be gone. Nobody could save him.
Green Valley Mountain Man became conflicted once again. After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he let out a long sigh and said, "Fine, fine, this old master will also take a gamble. If you die, this old master will consider it a loss.
I don't want your Divine Source. I just want you to kill someone for me later. "
"Kill someone?"
Lu Li was surprised. No wonder the Green Valley Mountain Man was in a dilemma. He wasn't trying to raise the price. He was just afraid that if Lu Li died, then he would have saved Lu Li for nothing and wasted so many poisons.
After all, he himself said that he was only 60% sure. If he couldn't save Lu Li, then he would suffer a great loss.
What Lu Li didn't understand was that the Green Valley Mountain Man could poison supreme warriors in the Divinity to death. Why would such a powerful warrior want to kill someone?
Lu Li didn't think for long. He cupped his fists and said, "Hillman, who do you want to kill?
If I can do it, I will. "
"Don't worry. I am not asking you to kill supreme warriors in the Divinity. I don't think you can do that with your current abilities."
The Green Valley Mountain Man waved his hand. After a pause, he said, "The one I want you to kill is a young master named Zuo Qiuyan!"
"Zuo Qiuyan?"
Lu Li repeated. Was this surname Zuo or Zuo Qiu?
It was a strange name. Lu Li asked, "Hillman, do you have any information about this man?"
"You don't know him?"
The Green Valley Mountain Man looked at Lu Li in surprise. Seeing that Lu Li really knew nothing, the Green Valley Mountain Man said with a bitter smile, "This man ranks No. 3 on the list. He is the favorite grandson of Zuo Qiurong, the Deputy Master of Space-time Office."
"Deputy Master of Space-time Office!"
Lu Li understood. No wonder the Green Valley Mountain Man didn't dare to kill him. He couldn't afford to offend Space-time Office, but Lu Li did.
Now that Lu Li had offended a super force, he didn't mind offending another.
Lu Li hesitated for a while. It was not that he was afraid of Space-time Office. It was just that he didn't want to kill someone for no reason. Lu Li thought about it and asked, "Hillman, can I ask … what is his character like?"
"Character?
Hmm! "
The Green Valley Mountain Man flew into a rage. He glared at Lu Li and snorted, "One of my grandnieces was defiled and killed by this bastard. If it were not for the fact that his grandpa is Zuo Qiurong, I would have killed his entire family."
"Okay!"
Lu Li hated those young masters who used their family background to do evil. He said decisively, "Don't worry, Hillman. As long as I can survive, I will find a chance to kill Zuo Qiuyan.
Also, I promise you that I will not tell anyone about this and I will not implicate you.
I have already offended the Craftsmen's Sect. I don't mind another Space-time Office. "
"Deal!"
The Green Valley Mountain Man nodded. He stood up and said, "I will go and get ready. There is no time to lose. We will start today.
But you must be prepared. The Worms of the Void are hard to crack. It will take a long time, half a year at least, three to five years at most. It might even take more than 10 years … "
"Okay!"
Lu Li nodded and asked, "Hillman, you don't need me to take an almighty oath or something like that?
Aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word? "
"Ha, ha, ha!"
The Green Valley Mountain Man laughed and said, "I know something about you. If you were that kind of person, I wouldn't have wasted my time talking to you.
I won't force you. If you can survive, just try your best. I won't blame you no matter what you do. "
"Thank you, Hillman!"
Lu Li bowed. Even though this Green Valley Mountain Man was the most powerful in poisons, he was not sinister or malicious. Instead, he was open and aboveboard, righteous and heroic, which was admirable.
The Green Valley Mountain Man left to get ready. Lu Li stood in the hall, hesitating whether he should take Chi Xi-er or not.
If he didn't, Chi Xi-er would be lonely at the Swords Mountain. She was someone who lacked a sense of security.
On the other hand, if Lu Li had been working on the Worms of the Void, Chi Xi-er would be more worried. There were poisons everywhere. Lu Li would not be at ease …
"Never mind. I will ask the Hillman to send a message!"
