The monster and the drum looked at Sumu eagerly, like two pugs waiting to be fed...
Of course, he just thought about it in his mind, and no matter how stupid Su Mu was, he would never say it out loud.
That can kill people!
Su Mu didn't keep the secret, he raised his hand and pointed at the monster from a distance: "Let's talk first."
It's easier to fool someone you've met once.
The monster laughed and immediately released his magic power, creating a new space in the dream. Obviously, he didn't want his conversation with Su Mu to be heard by the drum.
Gu was very unhappy about this, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he had just said that he would follow Su Mu's choice. But he still couldn't help thinking: I was clearly here first, so how come I got there first?
The monster flashed and entered the new space he opened up. At the same time, it raised its dragon-like claws and waved towards Su Mu.
A mysterious and powerful force enveloped Su Mu and dragged him into the new space.
"What do you want from me?" Su Mu asked without wasting time.
The monster was too happy to talk nonsense and said directly: "I want to ask you for a favor and tell me some information about my 'old friend'. Otherwise, I have no idea how to find him. To be honest, I have made many attempts in the past few days, but to no avail!"
It would be strange if there was any gain, because his 'old friend' didn't exist at all.
Su Mu pretended to be very embarrassed, frowned, and shook his head repeatedly: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I have been given a gag order and cannot say it. Once I say it, I will be punished!"
The monster had no doubt about Su Mu's answer and felt that it was reasonable because he also asked the believers to do the same.
But he came prepared: "How do you call him when you pray to him? You can tell me this, right? Or you can tell me when you will pray, and I will come over and eavesdrop. This way it won't be counted as you telling me."
Su Mu shook his head and said, "In fact, I seldom pray because it is easy to be exposed. I will not pray unless it is absolutely necessary or something very important happens. So I can't notify you in advance to eavesdrop."
The monster still had no doubts.
It had quietly followed and monitored Sumu, and indeed had not noticed him praying.
Of course, this kind of following and surveillance did not last too long, because they were afraid of being exposed and angering their "old friends".
"My 'old friend' is really cautious. I should learn from him in this regard." The monster sighed, thinking in his heart how to convince Su Mu to reveal some clues to him.
Just when he was getting anxious, he heard Su Mu speak: "Actually, addressing someone by their honorific name is not part of the gag order. It's not impossible for me to tell you. But this would require me to take a big risk, and I might be punished..."
Having said that, Su Mu stopped and looked at the monster with an expression that said, "You should understand, right?"
The monster laughed.
He was not afraid that Su Mu would ask for benefits, but he was afraid that Su Mu was a stinky stone that would not listen to anything.
"What do you want? Money? I can have someone give it to you."
The monster still remembered what Su Mu had said before: "I don't ask for immortality, I just want money."
During this period, in addition to mobilizing his followers to help him search for clues about his "old friend", he also asked his followers to find ways to get some money. If escaping the cage is really related to money, it is better to prepare in advance than to do it at the last minute, right? Even if escaping the cage has little to do with money, in this world, it is always useful to have enough money.
Su Mu said: "Money, of course I want it, but money alone is not enough!"
This is an ancient demon god. It would be a huge loss if we just tried to cheat money from him. We must at least get some good things out of him.
Of course, while Su Mu was saying these words, he was secretly observing the monster's reaction.
If the monster is enraged, he will settle for the next best thing and just take some money... the more he can cheat, the better.
But the monster didn't seem to care about it.
In fact, the monster hoped that Su Mu would be more greedy, so that it would be possible to get more information about the "old friend" from him in the future.
As for the gag order and punishment? For greedy people, as long as the benefits are enough, they will sell anything!
Even if the 'old friend' gets angry, he can put the blame on Su Mu and say that he is helping the 'old friend' to identify the loyalty of the followers.
"What else do you want?" asked the monster.
"Do you have any treasures that I can use?" Su Mu didn't hesitate to put forward the conditions directly.
Even though the monster is now just a skeleton and a few pieces of rotten meat and rags, Su Mu believes that as an ancient demon god, the monster must have a lot of good things hidden on its body!
Even a broken ship can still be repaired with a few nails, let alone an ancient demon god?
The monster grinned, "You want treasures? Haha, I do have some treasures on me, but I'm afraid that if I give them to you, you won't be able to control them and will suffer from them instead. If my 'old friend' suspects that I'm harming you and wants to hold me responsible, then I'll be blamed. Hey, I remember that there's something I can give you."
The bones in his body twisted, forming several rune-like patterns, and then a doll appeared out of thin air between him and Su Mu.
This doll is as tall as a teacup and looks like a snake in an S shape, which is weird and strange.
Su Mu could clearly feel that there was a mysterious power hidden in the doll, but it was suppressed by the monster and did not spread out.
"Have you heard of it?" asked the monster.
Su Mu had actually heard of him: "Is that the Taihang Dance King?"
"What?" The monster was stunned, obviously he had never heard of this nickname.
"Doesn't the Classic of Mountains and Seas say that it lives in the Taihang Mountains? It also says that it is good at spinning dances, so if this isn't the Taihang Dance King, then what is it?"
Fortunately, the monster no longer had flesh and skin, otherwise its expression would have been very interesting when it heard Su Mu's answer.
Even though the monster no longer had flesh and skin, Su Mu still felt that he should be rolling his eyes at him at this moment.
"This doll is made of horns. After being with me for a long time, it was influenced by me and the cage, and developed magical abilities. It can affect the creatures around it, making them dance involuntarily. Don't you like to use poison? This doll and the poison you like to use are very compatible. Using them together can enhance the effect."
"Are you spying on me?" Su Mu raised his eyebrows.
The monster didn't hide anything.
Or rather, he simply doesn't care.
"I monitored you for a while, but I gave up soon. I didn't discover your proficiency in poison during the monitoring process. When you killed the Nine-tailed Snake, one of my followers happened to be nearby. Afterwards, I attached a ray of divine consciousness to him, went to the scene and found residual toxins."
Su Mu was not surprised that the monster was monitoring him.
He had been cautious these days, and now it seemed that he was right to do so.
As for his current attitude, it is not to launch an attack to hold the monster accountable, but to prevent the monster from monitoring him in the future.
He believed that the monster understood, and would be more restrained even if it wanted to monitor him in the future. At least it would not do it personally, but would send its followers instead.
It is much easier to deal with believers than an ancient god.
Even if he is just a projection of an ancient god in the human world, he is not comparable to an ordinary cultivator.
The monster chuckled and did not continue the topic of surveillance. Instead, he said, "The ability of this doll does not distinguish between friend and foe, so when you use it, you will also be affected. But this situation is not uncontrollable. As long as you adapt to it more often, you can increase your resistance, minimize the impact, and even change the impact in a positive direction."
How can this influence be changed for the better? Is it because I have trained myself to be able to fight with others even when I am dancing?
Take this ghost dance move of mine! Take this floor move of mine again, and then, your health bar is empty...KO, is that right?
Tsk...are you playing Audition?
Su Mu complained in his heart and asked, "How do I control the power of this doll?"
The monster shook his head and said, "With your strength, you can't control it. Once it appears, it will automatically take effect."
"Can't control it? Then I can't keep dancing with it, right?" Su Mu frowned.
Thinking about eating, attending classes, walking, even sleeping and going to the toilet, I am always dancing. It would be strange if I am not considered a psychopath!
"When you don't need it, you can put it in the dimensional space artifact, so that you can cut off its influence on the outside world."
"That's good." Su Mu felt relieved.
The effect of this doll is secondary. What is important is that we can use it to study the ancient gods and cages!
I just don't know if it can activate the paid cheats?
"Now can you tell me the name of my 'old friend'?" The monster asked impatiently.
"Of course, you listen carefully."
Su Mu nodded and recited the words he had prepared long ago.
"This honorable name is: The Fool who does not belong to this era, the mysterious ruler above the gray fog, the Yellow and Black King who controls good luck!"
The monster was stunned.
Not only does this name sound strange, but it also clearly follows the path of a Western mystery sect... Could it be that my 'old friend' is a mummy, a vampire, or something else?
No! I don't know these beings!
Since he said he was my 'old friend', it shouldn't be these things.
He must have made up this new honorific name on purpose.
This way, even if his followers are caught, it will be difficult to trace them back to him.
It seems that although he escaped from the cage, he paid a price and his body is in a weak state, otherwise there would be no need for these cover-ups.
But that's normal!
After all, it is impossible to escape from the divine prison without paying a price!
However, since this name can be linked to him, it means that there is information in it that is related to him.
A fool who does not belong to this era?
The mysterious master above the gray fog?
The lord of yellow and black who controls good luck?
Who could it be?
A big question mark emerged in the monster's mind.
Su Mu remained calm on the surface, but he was laughing in his heart: Go ahead and check it out! It would be strange if you can find out! There is no Lord of Best Friends and Klein in this world!
