Chapter 312: Monster Nest Island
The note came suddenly.
Xu Zhiyan couldn't tell for a moment whether the priest was truly in love and wanted to send him supplies but was afraid of meeting his teammates, or whether he was pretending to be in love and wanted to trick him to another place... cough, go kill him.
The strange hypothesis flashed through his mind and he froze.
Damn it, it’s all the ghosts’ fault.
Xu Zhiyan was a smart person. Ever since the ghosts and gods laid out their cards, he could no longer pretend that he didn't care about the extreme behavior of slicing.
However, these entanglements did not last long.
Since the other party wants to provide supplies, he will go even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire!
However, instead of collecting supplies now, Xu Zhiyan felt that he should pay more attention to his poor customers.
"What's under that thing?"
After checking the props and supplies, Jiang Huaique leaned over. He only saw Xu Zhiyan picking up something but didn't see clearly what it was.
Xu Zhiyan pondered for a moment, shook his head and spoke frankly.
"A message from the devil, inviting me to do some shady business."
Human beings are very complex creatures.
If Xu Zhiyan had kept it secret, Jiang Huaique might have had other suspicions, but he said it so lightly and frankly that it was really hard to discern the specific content.
"…Just be poor."
Jiang Huaique rolled his eyes and didn't ask any more questions.
"What about the two players outside? Will they suffocate to death lying like this?" He pointed at the two people who fell to the ground after the demon disappeared.
These two people look in very bad condition.
Among the storage items taken away by the devil, there were only some scattered plants and broken pots and bowls, but not a single piece of food.
Judging from the unknown plant roots remaining inside and the imprints on it, the two men probably failed to cope well with this hunger crisis.
Since Xu Zhiyan was unable to leave his territory, Jiang Huaique finally dragged the two back.
Although it was not Xu Zhiyan who did the work, he began to worry from the moment his teammates stepped into the ruins of the town. He did not feel relieved until he saw Jiang Huaique walking unimpeded on the road and pulling the two unlucky guys back one by one, and then he felt relieved.
Very good, it seems that the previous offerings worked.
Other players will be knocked unconscious immediately if they enter the range, but Jiang Huai Que is obviously not affected.
Seeing that the two were still unconscious, Jiang Huaique frowned and asked.
"How much are you going to charge?"
Xu Zhiyan never works for nothing.
"Jiang Jiang, you are no longer an 18-year-old baby. You have to learn to set your own prices. I am going to rob the monster warehouse. I will leave these two people to you."
After all, Jiang Huaique is the second-in-command of the guild. Everyone might go into dungeons separately in the future. He has long wanted to cultivate his teammates' pricing ability. It's impossible for him not to enter the dungeon and not charge money for helping others, right?
Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyan felt a pang of pain in his heart.
Previously, in order to gain points, Jiang Huaique took Jinsheng to quickly clear the dungeon, and he often met players who needed help.
Although Jiang Huaique always has a sour face and never says a nice word, he will provide help every time someone asks for help... But those who are helped, those with conscience will give gifts of thanks, while those without conscience will just say thank you after helping, which makes him very distressed.
Especially when someone asks for help and then escapes danger, he starts to complain and have a lot of bad tempers. Some people even get dissatisfied and curse at Jiang Huaique. How hateful! They really don't know what's good for them!
Xu Zhiyan's expression was sincere, but the words that came out of his mouth made Jiang Huai's body tremble and his eyes almost popped out.
Unfortunately, before Jiang Huaique's forehead veins bulged and he rolled up his sleeves to start working, his unruly teammate had already run to the side of the platform, muttering to himself.
"Come on Jiang Bao! You can do it!"
"...Xu Baopi, you'd better not come back."
Jiang Huaique cursed as he looked towards where his teammates disappeared, cracking his knuckles.
Fortunately, although Xu Zhiyan ran away, his small bones were still left behind.
He was really afraid that once these two people started crying, his foul-mouthed and soft-hearted teammates would slash the price and not charge them.
[Mr. Jiang, if the quotation is not suitable, I will supplement it for you. Please feel free to start boldly!] Xiao Ke Gu raised his little notebook and did his duty conscientiously.
“…”
Faced with such a caring assistant, Jiang Huaique was so angry that he reluctantly calmed down.
Just looking at the two people who were still unconscious, he was overwhelmed and didn't know how to ask for the right fee.
In the live broadcast room, a strange vision suddenly appeared outside the church, which finally allowed the audience to break away from the enthusiastic shopping atmosphere and devote some energy to watching the live broadcast content.
【Hahahaha Jiang Bao! 】
[I am dying of laughter. How dare Xiao Baiwan call Jiang Huaique a baby [shaking head.jpg]]
【Mother Jiang’s fists are hard! 】
[If Xiao Baiwan was in front of him, he would have to twist Xu Bao's head off and pat him twice, hahahaha.]
[Haha, Xiao Baiwan is very knowledgeable, so he runs so fast. ]
[I am the only one who is curious, what is the relationship between Xiao Baiwan and that demon priest? ]
【Come, repeat after me, 姫—頭—】
[Haha, stop making me laugh, he must be planning to take over all of the priest's territory!]
[But I think the priest seems to have grown some brains this time, and seems to be trying to take advantage of the opportunity to use money tactics to confuse Xiao Baiwan, and then kill him! ]
【I am the prophet standing upstairs! 】
Maybe it's because Xu Zhiyan always speaks a mixture of truth and lies, making it hard to tell which one he's telling the truth, and he often does unexpected things.
Whenever it comes to content related to monsters, the audience in his live broadcast room also starts to imagine wildly.
Of course, it is unknown whether this speculation is reliable or not.
The church is not big.
After a short while, Xu Zhiyan had walked to the back area of the church, and further ahead was the priest's bedroom.
He only has so many fields at present, where else can he find more?
As his brain kept thinking, Xu Zhiyan staggered into the room. There was still no one here. Strange...
Just as he was curious about where the priest had gone, he saw a flash of light in the gap of the narrow wardrobe next to him, which immediately attracted his attention.
Xu Zhiyan walked forward, opened the closet door, and saw clearly what was inside.
It was a set of folded clothes.
The black shirt and white pants are made of high-quality fabric. The black coat is decorated with gold embroidery. The fur collar makes the clothes look very comfortable. There are also two ruby-carved roses on the left collar.
He just saw a bright light, which was the light reflected by the jewel rose.
"Since it's on my territory, it belongs to me."
As he said this, Xu Zhiyan put away his clothes.
The quality is very good. It is a good choice whether you keep it for yourself or sell it for money.
After collecting the clothes, he finally slowly groped his way through the closet.
Just as expected.
When he touched a raised button on the wooden cabinet wall and pressed it hard, the wooden board at the back of the wardrobe shook and slowly fell down, revealing a secret passage.
Xu Zhiyan was not surprised at all.
Since Slice's hint was for him to find it alone, he would definitely provide a way.
The secret passage was pitch dark and he had no intention of going in.
But before Xu Zhiyan could close the cabinet door, a gray monster appeared at the other end of the passage, with something on its back.
He looked closely and found that it was a dagger that looked like a prop.
This time, without waiting for Xu Zhiyan to hesitate, his body made a judgment first, raised his legs and walked towards the depths of the passage.
"...Damn it, do you have to be like this?"
The gift-giving method is exactly the same as that of ghosts and gods, which really makes it impossible to refuse!
He was mumbling something to himself, but after taking a few steps he got a B-level item. He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. It felt really good to have money falling from the sky.
In this way, whenever Xu Zhiyan wanted to retreat, a new monster would appear with something in its hand and lure him over.
This is completely different from the fact that ghosts and gods always give away precious metals.
The priest was not that wealthy, but the gifts he gave were surprisingly practical.
In addition to various props that were obviously left behind by players and some lost jewelry, there are also some daily necessities, from toothpaste and toothbrush sets to various rare condiments, and even an unopened water bed set.
Xu Zhiyan didn't know how long this slice had been here to accumulate so many messy things.
Ah, he appears to be a cold and abstinent priest, but at night he turns into a winged demon, and unexpectedly he has collected a lot of things used by humans.
He didn’t know if it was because what he got was too down-to-earth, but he began to feel that this slice was inexplicably... cute.
When we walked to the back, the soil faded away and the ground turned into dry and hard stone slabs. It seemed that there was something else under the church.
By the way, he also discovered what the little monsters that transported supplies were.
On both sides of the stone passage, in grooves one after another, half-human-high stone demons were huddled inside.
They are somewhat similar to the sculptures in the church hall, but look quite different, except that now all the stone demons look distressed and painful, as if they have just experienced something bad.
Xu Zhiyan walked forward and tried to poke them twice, attempting to pry away the two stone demons, but failed, so he had to leave in disappointment.
When the young man's figure completely disappeared at the end of the passage, the stone demons who had just pretended to be dead seemed to come back to life, and began to complain with sad faces.
“Help, help…”
"All the things I've saved for 80 years are gone."
"Woo, woo, woo, woo. I thought the owner of the church was a good devil."
"Stupid! How can a demon be good?"
"I think it's okay. It won't eat us, and it will protect us from being eaten by the big stone statue."
"… Just consider it as protection money."
If Xu Zhiyan were here and knew that these small stone statues could store supplies themselves, then even if he had to tear down the wall, he would have packed up all the supplies and taken them away, and would not have let them go so easily.
Finally, he reached the end of the stone passage.
This place covers a huge area, with a stone altar in the center, but even though countless candles are burning, the entire space is still very dim.
Xu Zhiyan looked towards the altar hesitantly.
It was a mountain of metal objects, gold treasures, and items that looked like props emitting various lights, which were more than one level higher than those sent by the stone demons.
Shocked, Xu Zhiyan walked forward and casually took out two props. He was surprised to find that the props here were at least B-level, and most of them were A-level.
Why so many?
He patted his chest and took a deep breath. He clearly thought that he had to be rational no matter what, but in reality, let alone stabbing Slice, he would even let Slice stab him!
Now that the thing is in hand, it is impossible to spit it out.
Xu Zhiyan began to pack his bag, muttering to himself, "Although I have principles, since you are so sincere, we can talk slowly."
Perhaps the sated, greedy look on his face was too appealing.
A piece of paper floated down from the sky.
[As long as you like it.]
[Good evening. ]
Xu Zhiyan’s hands paused as he was packing his things.
Ah? Good evening?
What's going on? Is this really pure love without any water?
He never expected that Slice would not show up. It seems that the other party might really be shy?
This thought made Xu Zhiyan feel that the other person was even more interesting.
He laughed softly for a moment, then glanced at the horn pendant hanging around his neck.
...It's over. I can't laugh anymore.
When he thought that he might still have to put this thing into the priest's chest, he felt that it might be difficult for him to do it steadily, accurately and ruthlessly.
As if he thought of something, Xu Zhiyan stopped smiling.
"Don't you want to know what I want to do with you? In exchange for the gift, I can tell you."
He licked his lips, his throat tightening a little.
"I'm going to stick this thing into your heart, and then... well, you'll have to listen to me from now on." Stroking the uneven dark patterns on the horns, Xu Zhiyan spoke slowly.
So, what does the priest do?
Damn it, it’s better to turn against each other, otherwise he really won’t be able to do anything.
“Shua——”
The candles went out, and the entire underground altar fell into darkness.
In the thick darkness, Xu Zhiyan met a pair of scarlet devil's eyes, and he heard the priest's answer.
“That’s all…?”
"Then you can start now."
There was no trace of displeasure in the hoarse voice mixed with doubt, and it seemed to carry some vague expectation.
He could feel the ground shaking when the priest walked, and a faint smell of ash filled the air.
Wha…what?
Xu Zhiyan felt that he might not have heard clearly. Why didn't the priest play by the rules? Is it really okay to agree so easily?
As the red eyes approached, the distance between the two people became closer.
Xu Zhiyan stepped back subconsciously, but his back hit a cold stone slab. He felt as if something was wrong.
It was obvious that he was going to stab and slice.
But the other party is more positive?
The next second, his fingertips touched the soft feathers...
