As soon as Duobao spoke, Hu Le knew that the other party had taken the bait. So, with a thought, a jade bottle appeared out of thin air in front of him.
In an instant, an extremely abundant spiritual light gushed out from the bottle.
Although Duobao did not recognize the Three Lights Divine Water, he could still tell that it was extraordinary.
"Oops! I'm so sorry, this seems to be the Three Lights Divine Water, I took the wrong one!"
Before Hu Le could finish speaking, he quickly put the Three Lights Divine Water back into his possession.
Immediately, another circle of spiritual light appeared out of thin air on the ground, and a gray cloud of energy rose and fell within the light, exuding an ancient and boundless aura.
"This seems to be a wisp of primordial primordial energy left over from the creation of the world... Sigh? It seems I've picked up the wrong one again. I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I keep making mistakes."
As he spoke, he put away the Xuanhuang Qi again, and then deliberately revealed several rare and precious spiritual objects.
For a moment, Duobao's eyes almost popped out of their sockets...
"I...I didn't expect you to actually have some treasures."
Duobao was so shocked by all the treasures that he could hardly speak.
Over the years, he has traveled far and wide, digging holes everywhere. With the magical abilities of the Treasure Rat, he has amassed quite a lot of treasures. He is quite proud of himself and believes that even if he travels through the entire prehistoric world, there may be few who can rival him in treasure.
But now, after seeing Hu Le's collection, he felt ashamed. Compared to the treasures Hu Le had just brought out, his collection was no different from clods of dirt in the ground.
In fact, he doesn't need to belittle himself.
If Hu Le hadn't made a windfall before, his treasures would be no different from those of a beggar on the street compared to Duobao's.
The treasures that Taiyi collects are all carefully selected from countless treasures.
Moreover, it took the combined power of all the gods in the Heavenly Court to find so many treasures.
How could Duobao, all alone, compare to him?
He really doesn't need to belittle himself...
After Hu Le finished showing off his treasures, the scene became somewhat quiet.
"Gulp!"
Duobao swallowed hard and immediately clapped his hands, saying, "Alright! For the sake of these treasures, I'll help you out today."
However, we can make this arrangement beforehand.
If things go smoothly, I can choose two...no! three items from what you just took out!
"Of course, I won't take advantage of you. If it doesn't work out, I'll just pick one out of the options as a reward for your trouble."
Duobao sensed that Hu Le needed something from him, so he made an outrageous demand.
The Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord chuckled coldly and mocked, "You're not exactly greedy; at least you didn't intend to take it all."
Duobao wasn't shy at all; he pretended not to understand, and simply stared intently at Hu Le, asking, "Fellow Daoist, what do you think?"
He was waiting for Hu Le to negotiate the price with him.
In truth, deep down, he would have taken action even if he were given only one item, let alone three.
Hu Le, however, remained magnanimous and did not try to bargain with him at all. He smiled and said, "Alright! I agree to your request."
"Then it's a deal!"
Duobao didn't expect Hu Le to agree so readily; she was so happy that her eyes almost squinted into slits.
"It's a deal!"
"So what do you want me to do for you?"
Duobao said somewhat nervously, as he finally realized what was going on.
The more readily Hu Le agreed, the more troublesome the favor he would likely have to do...
hey-hey!
Luckily, I'm clever. I made it clear to him beforehand that whether he succeeded or not, I'd get my share...
However, even someone as clever as him seemed to have forgotten that, in the end, the other party could simply turn their back on him...
"Fellow Daoist, are you able to lend a hand now?" Hu Le asked.
"Fine! Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"What else can we do? Of course, we ask you to remove this mountain weighing us down and let us out."
"That's it?! That's way too easy!"
Duobao didn't take this mountain seriously at all; with his strength, he could move it with just a wave of his hand.
"You wait!"
"Change!"
Duobao let out a loud shout, and his body suddenly swelled up, instantly transforming into a giant ten thousand feet tall. With a wave of his hand, he could blot out the sky and sun; with a stomp of his foot, the earth shook.
This supernatural power is precisely the manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth.
"Watch out, you two!"
A thunderous sound exploded in the air. Duobao opened his arms and hugged the mountain peak, exerting a sudden force.
"rise!"
Rumble!
The entire mountain merely swayed for a moment, then a golden light flashed across its surface, and the mountain stabilized again. No matter how hard Duobao strained, his forehead veins bulging, he couldn't move it an inch.
"Oh no! I can't take it anymore!"
Duobao used all his strength to shake it several more times, but found that he really couldn't move it anymore. He couldn't help but feel discouraged, so he loosened his arms, dissipated his supernatural powers, and returned to his original form.
He walked up to Hu Le and said apologetically, "Fellow Daoist, I'm sorry, this mountain is truly strange. Even with my supreme strength and divine power, I couldn't move it an inch! Strange! It's really too strange!"
However, for the sake of the treasure in Hu Le's hands, he did not give up and prepared to try another method.
In a flash, Duobao transformed into a gray-furred rat the size of a water tank.
He finally revealed his true colors.
As a treasure-hunting rat, in addition to sensing the location of treasures, the ability to burrow underground is also an innate supernatural power.
After all, what mouse doesn't know how to dig a hole?
Since the mountain was unmovable, he decided to try digging underground to rescue the two men.
Duobao scratched the ground with its claws, and a hole the size of a water tank instantly appeared in the ground.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment, I will come out to meet you."
After saying that, he plunged into the hole and disappeared.
Duobao continued digging underground until a spacious cave appeared behind him.
Just as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, a faint golden light shimmered around the earth and rocks in front of them.
Duobao didn't notice and ran straight into it.
A muffled thud.
Duobao felt as if he had crashed into a piece of refined gold. He grimaced in pain, saw stars, and a large bump appeared on his head.
"Hiss... It hurts! It hurts..."
Duobao couldn't help but let out a series of screams, which were clearly heard by the two people on the ground.
"Ha! This fool! Does he really think His Majesty Taiyi has any loopholes in the restrictions he set up? He's so naive!" The Treasure-Preserving Heavenly Lord laughed gleefully.
Hu Le glanced at the old man with displeasure.
That old guy is such a blockhead, he's so clueless.
Duobao is saving us!
If we fail, it means we can't get out of this predicament.
What's there to be happy about? We should be crying our eyes out...
A short while later, Duobao emerged from the ground covered in dust and dirt, transformed into human form, and jumped in front of Hu Le.
He said somewhat exasperatedly, "Fellow Daoist, tell me honestly, what is the secret behind the mountain that suppresses you? It is so perfectly integrated and indestructible that even with my abilities, I cannot break it."
Hu Le slowly said, "Didn't you already tell me, Fellow Daoist who presented the treasure, that the restrictions on this mountain were formed by His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor with great magical power? Naturally, they are not so easy to break."
"Ah! I thought that old man was just bragging, but it's actually true..."
Duobao exclaimed in surprise, then jumped back, his face full of anger. He pointed at Hu Le and shouted, "You scoundrel! You're not even fit to be a son! I kindly saved you, but you're trying to harm me!"
If he had known earlier that it was truly set up by the Heavenly Emperor, he wouldn't have had the courage to break it.
Do you think your life is too long?
How could a mere little demon like him possibly dare to offend His Majesty Taiyi?
