Chapter 145 The Greedy Little Monster
The little monster quickly came back to its senses and looked at Shu Li with its bright golden eyes.
"Little goblin from the Goblin Forest, what is your name? What is your purpose in entering the Temple of Eddas?"
Shu Li sensed no ill will from it, so she replied calmly, "My name is Sperian, and I'm here to search for the Fire Spirit."
"Fire Spirit?" A strange light flashed in the little monster's eyes. "Who told you that the Fire Spirit is in the Temple of Edas?"
"I guessed based on ancient texts," Shu Li asked curiously. "Who are you? Why are you in the temple? Are you the only monster here?"
The little monster blew out two puffs of smoke from its nose and said with a stern face, "Is there any little goblin as rude as you? Shouldn't you untie someone before asking their name?"
It's indeed a fire-type monster that gets angry so easily.
Shu Li was not afraid of being attacked after being untied. If it had the strength, it would have broken the vines by itself long ago.
He silently recited a wood spell, and the vines automatically fell off and turned into seeds again.
Shu Li used wind magic to recover the seeds and put them into the storage ring.
The little demon beast regained its freedom, flapped its wings, and flew into the air, hovering in front of Shu Li. It howled twice, then said proudly, "Remember, I am a high-level Fire Dragon Lizard, my name is Sharo Redicino Farm."
Shu Li: ...
Sorry, it's such a long name, he can't remember it right away.
"Can you say your name again?"
He took out a small notebook for writing names, held a feather pen in his hand, and looked at the little monster sincerely.
The little monster was confused when he saw his posture.
What's with this little goblin? Is it so hard to remember a name? I even have to write it down on paper!
Having said that, the notebook in his hand is of good quality.
"Sharo Redicino Farm. Remember this!" the little monster repeated.
"Okay...Sha Luo." Shu Li wrote a line of beautiful Elf words on the notebook, and quickly drew a Q version picture based on the appearance of the little monster.
"My name is Sharo Redicino Farm!" the little monster corrected.
Shu Li closed the notebook and said innocently, "Okay, Farm."
The little monster bared its teeth and asked angrily, "Can't you just pronounce my full name?"
Shu Li said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm a little goblin with the worst talent for languages."
The little monster stared at him in disbelief.
Are all the goblins nowadays so shameless?
Shu Li, having learned Ilio's true teachings, ignored its anger and grinned, "Farm, you still haven't told me why you are in the temple?"
The little monster called Farm waved its short, fat forelimbs, unable to do anything to the little goblin, and said unhappily, "I was sealed by someone else, so of course I'm here."
"Who sealed you?" Shu Li wondered. "What level of Fire Dragon Lizard are you? Why are you different from the ones I've seen?"
Farm seemed to be quite reluctant to mention the person who sealed it, and simply skipped the previous question. "Of course I'm not an ordinary Fire Dragon Lizard. I'm a Fire Dragon Lizard beyond the tenth level!"
Shu Li was surprised: "Isn't the highest level of Warcraft level nine?"
Falm flapped his bat wings and circled around Shu Li, muttering to himself, "Does a ninth-rank fire dragon lizard have my wings? My horns? My tail? No! They don't! I'm a divine beast, an existence incomparable to those ordinary magical beasts! So, don't compare me to those vulgar fire dragon lizards."
Shu Li listened to its babyish voice and roughly guessed that it was a very high-level Fire Dragon Lizard that was sealed by a powerful figure and reverted to its juvenile state.
"Have you maintained your current state? Aren't the people who sealed you afraid that you'll be in danger?" He asked different questions to get information.
Farm's body had become juvenile, and his mind had become simpler. "Of course not! I only become like this on Fire Sundays. Normally, I'm so majestic that other fire dragons and lizards would prostrate themselves on the ground and worship me as their king!"
It clenched its claws, squinted at the goblin, and sneered, "Danger? Whoever dares to provoke me, I will tear him apart with my claws, spit him to death with fire, and bite him to death with my sharp teeth - even if I am in this state, there are ways to deal with it. If you were not a goblin, I would have activated the trap and trapped you to death halfway. How could I allow you to enter the inner hall?"
Shu Li was slightly surprised when he heard this, and his brain was racing.
Fire Day is the day for fire dragons and ground lizards to mate. Even the highest-ranking magical beasts cannot suppress their reproductive instinct. Even an eighth-rank fire dragon and ground lizard would go to the lake to find a mate, let alone a ninth-rank Falm.
Obviously, there is no second fire dragon lizard in the temple. The purpose of sealing Farm and turning it back to its juvenile state on Fire Sunday is to prevent it from suffering from estrus.
The temple is hidden nearly a thousand meters underground. For thousands of years, no adventure team has ever successfully penetrated here. On Fire Day, thousands of fire dragon lizards gathered in the lake, and no one dared to approach.
Only he, with the help of the powerful roots of the mother tree, broke through the ground and found the Temple of the God of Fire that had been hidden for thousands of years.
Perhaps Farm was surprised to discover the invasion, and when he saw that he was a goblin, he showed mercy.
No wonder I had a smooth journey. If it were an adventure team, I would probably have encountered many dangers at each level.
"Thank you, Farm." Shu Li thanked sincerely.
"Hmph, is this the way to thank someone?" Farm turned a blind eye and licked his lips with his forked tongue.
Shu Li blinked and suddenly understood.
It turns out that this little monster is greedy.
Fortunately, he had the habit of carrying food with him. He took out a cherry-sized Kuku fruit from his storage ring and handed it to the little monster. "This is a thank you gift."
Farm's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the fruit like a hungry wolf pouncing on a sheep, opened his mouth wide and took a bite.
"Mmm, not bad, not bad, mmmm - delicious! So delicious!"
With a few crunches, he finished eating the fruit.
"Is there any more? Is there any more?" It flew back and forth in front of Shu Li anxiously.
After thousands of years, I've been fed up with eating muddy underground creatures every day.
Shu Li laughed, took out four or five Kuku fruits, put them in his palm and handed them forward.
Farm let out a "woof" and jumped into his palm. He used all four claws to hold all the fruits, opened his mouth, and swallowed them one at a time, eating with relish.
Shu Li seemed to be holding a scaly chinchilla, heavy and quite substantial.
Don’t be fooled by the little monster’s small size, it has a big appetite.
After eating the fruit, it asked Shu Li for more.
Shu Li took out an apple-like fruit, held it in his left hand, and said, "As long as you answer my questions well, I'll give it to you."
Falmu was tempted by the delicious fruit and sipped his saliva, urging: "Ask quickly!"
Shu Li achieved his goal and said calmly, "Do you know the Fire Spirit?"
Farm replied, "You know him! He has a bad temper and is the most annoying!"
Shu Li thought to himself that its temper wasn't much better, it just reverted to its juvenile state and was no longer as powerful when it got angry.
He then asked, "Is he also in the temple?"
Farm waved his claws: "Of course not!"
Shu Li asked, "Where did you go if you weren't in the temple?"
Farm raised his eyelids and said unhappily, "I don't care where he went. I haven't seen him for a long time anyway!"
"How long is a long time? Before or after the war of the gods?"
"Oh, why do you have so many questions? Don't ask him all the time, ask what I know."
The little monster spread its wings and flew away from Shu Li's palm, wagging its tail impatiently, its eyes fixed on the fruit in his left hand.
Shu Li was not discouraged even though he didn't get the answer he wanted.
This high-level magical beast with an extremely long lifespan can still speak without making any mistakes even in its juvenile form.
Handing the fruit to the little monster, Shu Li slowed down his tone. "Aren't you lonely being the only monster in the underground palace?"
Farm used all four paws to hold the fruit, which was almost as big as him, and answered while chewing it happily.
"Anyway, I spend most of my time sleeping, and when I wake up I look for food. Apart from being a little bored occasionally, it's not that hard to endure."
"Can't you leave here?" Shu Li asked.
“There are restrictions, and I can’t get out.”
Baji, Baji——
The little monster's eyes narrowed as he ate, and he gnawed happily.
"Can we go inside the hall and take a look?" Shu Li asked tentatively.
"You can go in." The little monster swallowed a mouthful of fruit pulp and looked up to warn, "But you can't touch anything, especially the treasure on the throne."
"Okay, I won't touch anything." Shu Li promised.
However, normal people will be excited when they hear the word "baby".
Shu Li waited for the little monster to finish eating the fruit, took out a handkerchief to wipe his fingers stained with juice, and walked into the hall with the little monster.
After crossing a stone door and entering the hall, the luxurious decoration is dazzling. The golden pillars emit a magnificent brilliance. The floor is smooth and clear. In the center stands a familiar statue.
Shu Li stood in front of the statue and looked up.
It's the God of Fire.
In the Milady Palace of the Elven Kingdom, there is a statue of the God of Fire, whose facial features are exactly the same as this statue.
To show respect, Shu Li raised his right hand and covered it in front of his chest, bowing respectfully to the statue.
Farm flew beside him and nodded with satisfaction when he saluted.
This little goblin is quite polite.
After paying his respects, Shu Li walked around the statue of the God of Fire and continued walking inside.
Behind the statue is a small passage, at the end of which is a spacious hall where a majestic throne comes into view.
The throne is carved from precious minerals and inlaid with rare crystals and jewels. Under the light of the moonstone, it looks gorgeous and domineering.
One can imagine how noble and majestic the God of Fire looked when he sat on the throne.
But at this moment, what attracted Shu Li the most was the treasure chest placed on the throne.
Treasure chest! Treasure chest again!
Shu Li now has a psychological trauma whenever he sees a treasure chest.
The coffin that was exchanged from the three-headed water monster last time is still in the hands of the French Saint Danlov, waiting to be returned to its original owner!
Now when I enter the Temple of Edas and see the treasure chest on the throne of the God of Fire, I dare not touch it no matter what.
Farm told him not to touch the treasure. Is this treasure referring to the treasure chest?
It can rest assured that he will not touch it.
Who knows what strange things are inside.
Shu Li glanced at the treasure chest, then resolutely looked away and looked elsewhere.
Farm was a little nervous at first, fearing that the little elf would become greedy and touch the treasure chest, but he just took a look and turned his head away, showing no interest in the treasure chest at all.
Falm flapped his wings and landed on the armrest of the throne, tilting his head to look at the goblin.
The little goblin is wearing top-grade defensive equipment, which shows that he is well-fed and has no shortage of resources.
This was evident from the fact that he casually took out five ninth-level magic stones.
Shu Li knew that the little monster was scrutinizing him, its burning gaze following him, but he didn't care and walked around the hall casually.
It seems that my guess was wrong.
There is no fire spirit in the Temple of Edas except for a thousand-year-old monster guarding the temple.
Shu Li couldn't help but feel disappointed, sighed softly, and casually placed it on a decorative sculpture.
This sculpture is small and exquisite, one meter high. The top looks like a blooming flower. There is a hollow ball in the pistil, and a bead inside that emits soft light.
Shu Li poked it curiously with her finger.
The beads rotate, making a crisp sound.
The little demon beast squatting on the armrest of the throne heard the sound of beads colliding, suddenly spread its wings, flew over, and asked nervously, "What are you doing?"
"Huh?" Shu Li said innocently, "I poked a bead, what's wrong?"
Farm was shocked when he heard him say "poked it". "Run!"
"What?" Shu Li obediently ran away, however, it was too late. The floor under his feet suddenly disappeared, and a strong suction force sucked him down.
Shu Li quickly spread out his wings, flapped them hard, and flew upwards.
However, the suction was too strong and dragged him down.
Shu Li's face changed drastically and his body fell rapidly.
"Awooo—idiot—who told you to touch the mechanism—"
The cry of a little monster came from above his head, and Shu Li subconsciously reached out and caught a fleshy little ball.
It was Farm.
Before they could communicate, the fairy and the monster were sucked into a black hole by the suction force.
