The solution that Du Yuqi came up with after much thought is very simple when put into words.
After making a series of preparations, he took a deep breath and suddenly jumped out from his hiding place, shouting as if he was afraid that others would not know, while waving his clothes vigorously in his hands:
"Surrender!! I want to surrender. I have very important information about the mutated Terra Stone!"
As soon as Du Yuqi jumped out, he immediately attracted a team of Crazy Ivans on patrol. Not only that, the ground shook slightly - that was the noise caused by the Bull-Headed Mechanical King suddenly becoming alert and stomping heavily on the ground.
At this time, in order to increase his persuasiveness, Du Yuqi even held a brilliant cosmic soul in his hand and spread it out in his palm, just to avoid the possibility of the other party starting a fight without saying a word as soon as they met.
Soon, Du Yuqi was surrounded by a dozen Crazy Ivans. At this time, Du Yuqi could be said to have breathed a sigh of relief, because as long as the other party did not take action when they met, it meant that they could communicate, and the success rate of his trip would suddenly increase by 30%.
Soon, the Crazy Ivans who surrounded him were separated. Then, a taller-looking Major Crazy Ivan strode over. His cloudy electronic eyes examined Du Yuqi from head to toe for a while, and then a vague mechanical synthesized sound came out from his throat:
"Human, what do you want to do by invading here?"
"Invasion?" Du Yuqi was immediately shocked and said, "No, no, no, I am not here to invade. I was captured by these damned enemies and forced to come in. As for the purpose of coming here, of course, it is to donate a large amount of precious wealth to you! This is the sample I brought for you!"
As he spoke, he lifted up the brilliant cosmic soul and presented it to Major Crazy Ivan. Major Crazy Ivan stared at it for a while, then took it and motioned Du Yuqi to go with him.
Soon, after a thorough body search, Du Yuqi was taken to a place that should be a prison. However, no one had been imprisoned here for a long time and the place was covered with dust. Just after Du Yuqi was brought into the prison, he heard a dull explosion outside. The other Crazy Ivans immediately swarmed over. After hearing the explosion, Du Yuqi showed a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Du Yuqi had been in the cell for less than ten minutes when he saw a burly demon striding towards him, surrounded by a group of guards. The demon's skin was fiery red, and the outer edges of his arms had mutated into the shape of blades, making him look very aggressive. However, his skin was covered with wrinkles and he looked rather old.
After he met Du Yuqi, he got straight to the point:
"Human, I am Lord Eos. Where is the treasure you wish to offer me?"
Du Yuqi said:
"You should have seen the cosmic soul that I just presented to you, right?"
Ios raised the cosmic soul that he was holding between his fingers and said in a muffled voice:
"You mean this? This is indeed a very refined energy, but it is still too little to be called wealth!"
Du Yuqi said seriously:
"Lord Eos, this is just a sample I brought out. In fact, I know a place where there are a thousand brilliant cosmic souls!! And they are hidden in this sub-plane. Is this an astonishing fortune?"
"This is absolutely impossible!" The demon lost his composure for once and roared, "Do you know what this is? This is one of the purest energy crystals in the universe! How could such a large number suddenly appear? Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Haha!" Du Yuqi laughed confidently and said, "What I said is only a part of this amazing wealth. In this wealth, there are twelve bottles of god-level potions such as Remi's Aid, and two mutant Terra stones."
"Nonsense, nonsense!" Ios roared fiercely, "You are insulting the wisdom of Lord Ios. I know every stone in this plane clearly. How could such a huge fortune appear? Human, I will chop you into meat paste to sharpen my blade. Tell me what your conspiracy is."
Du Yuqi laughed, and simply sat down and said in a relaxed manner:
"It's alright, Lord Eos, just go ahead and kill me. Do you think it's necessary to lie to you?"
Ios sneered:
"You are actually a spy of the invaders. You just want to trick me out and ambush me. I have seen through your tricks."
Du Yuqi sighed and said:
"My lord, I was forcibly captured by these hateful invaders. Before I escaped, I accidentally saw the invaders' quartermaster bury the wealth, saying that they were likely to be wiped out, so they had to be careful. This is also the reason why I was hunted down. So as long as you get the location I told you, you only need to send two Crazy Ivans to dig and you will know the truth. My lord, do you think that the purpose of my risking my life to come here is to fool the two Crazy Ivans?"
Yios was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that Du Yuqi's answer was completely different from what he had imagined. He couldn't help but say:
"How could the invaders have such a huge fortune?"
Du Yuqi shrugged and said:
"How would I know? In fact, I am just a captured prisoner. They took a fancy to my unique medical skills and asked me to work for them."
Ios immediately said in a hoarse voice:
"Then tell me where the burial place is right now!"
Du Yuqi immediately said aggrievedly and weakly:
"Respected Lord Eos, I finally managed to escape to your protection. Now I am exhausted, hungry, injured, and vomited a lot of blood..."
As he spoke, he revealed the scratches he had sustained earlier. Ios immediately roared wildly:
"Tell me the location right now! Otherwise, I will smear your blood and brains on the ground!!!"
"Then you will have to say goodbye to that huge fortune forever, Lord Eos. If you think my life can be compared with that treasure, then please do it." Du Yuqi shrugged helplessly.
Ios stood there for a long while. People who knew him well knew that this irritable demon was probably on the verge of exploding. In his heart, a manic and furious voice was shouting:
"It's fake, all fake! It's impossible for there to be such a huge fortune. The person in front of you is an outright liar. He must have a conspiracy!!"
However, no matter how loud this voice shouted, there was another voice in Eos' heart whispering quietly and secretly:
"What can this man cheat? At most, he would have to pay the insignificant price of two Crazy Ivans. Conspiracy? Where is the conspiracy? Please speak out loudly. That huge treasure is real and must exist. Today is your lucky day, Eos. Don't miss this great opportunity. With this fortune, you can ascend to the throne of the Demon King."
So, just when all his subordinates thought that Ios would directly take action and cut this daring guy in front of him into pieces, Ios turned around and left. It was not until he was outside the prison that he whispered to Roy, his most trusted subordinate:
"Roy, go negotiate with him and see what this person wants. If they are some basic demands, you can satisfy them."
Therefore, Du Yuqi quickly got clean water, food, and even a small bottle of alchemical healing potion. Then he told Roy not to worry, because after nightfall, large groups of strange fog would appear on the surface, which would cover the landmarks of the treasure burial site. So even if he agreed to cooperate immediately, he would have to wait until dawn to find the place. For example, let's discuss one thing first, that is, how much dividends he should get after digging out the treasure...
Du Yuqi's initial proposal was 6:4, and the great Lord Eos would take 4 and he would take 6. This proposal shocked Roy because he felt that if he submitted this proposal, the furious Lord Eos would definitely cut him into four pieces, and the obsessive-compulsive Eos would make sure the weight of each piece remained the same! !
